Cleveland State Community
College has had its accreditation fully “reaffirmed” after
working through a one-year
period of warning given by its
accrediting organization.
The Southern Association of
Colleges
and
Schools
Commission on Colleges put the
college on a warning following
its 10-year review for “reaffirmation of accreditation” last
summer.
Since then, the college has
worked to correct the issues by
providing more information and
creating a new strategic plan.
“We are very proud to have
successfully completed the
process,” Cleveland

in a statement. “SACSCOC

all students that we are providing a top-quality educational

mostly minor injuries.
According to Deanna Grubbs,
daughter of Pastor Kenneth Catoe,
the injuries were minor and everyone was able to walk away from
the accident.
“God was definitely with them,”
Grubbs said
The group was in Cleveland on
their annual missions trip to assist

A Cleveland couple believe they may have
been sent a sign. The sign came in a roundabout way from a stray kitty.
Barbara and Ron Gooslin of 1230 Crest
Drive S.E., are animal lovers. They live on an
access road, and Mrs. Gooslin said people are
all the time putting animals out in the neighborhood.
She said they rescue many of the critters.
“They’re all the Lord’s animals,” she said.
They found a young, pregnant mother cat
recently near the roadway.
Mrs. Gooslin said they had to take it in
because their outside cat was beating on the
young mother-to-be. They placed it in a large
cage they have in the basement.
They had no idea what was to come, a happening Mrs. Gooslin calls “a sign.”
The young mother cat gave birth to six kittens on May 5, but two didn’t survive. The
other four appear healthy a month after birth,

According to CPD public information officer Evie West, the vehicle was heading north on Freewill

used a camera-equipped robot to
inspect it rather than have officers approach it immediately,
which was why it took several
hours to confirm he was dead.
After the suspect was confirmed dead, the van erupted in
flames while the authorities were
detonating the suspected ordnance inside.
Boulware’s father said that his
son had strong feelings against
law enforcement after he lost custody of his son, now 12 or 13
years old.
Boulware spent several hours
Friday at his father’s home in
Carrolton, a Dallas suburb and
talked about how well his recently-purchased van drove, the
father said.
But he also discussed a widelypublicized video of a police officer
in McKinney, Texas pushing a
black teenager to the ground and
brandishing his gun at other
teenagers.
His father last spoke with
Boulware by telephone about
three hours before Dallas police
said the shooting began.
“Not being able to get a job and
the legal system letting him down,
(he) finally snapped,” the elder
James Boulware said in a telephone interview before police
arrived. “But I can’t say shooting
at a police station is right in any
way.”
The attack began at around
12:30 a.m., when several police
officers were standing nearby. A
popular bar across the street from
the headquarters building was
still open, and the neighborhood
is also home to a boutique hotel
and apartment buildings.
Reporters allowed to walk
through the scene after it had
been secured counted numerous
bullet holes in the front window of
the police headquarters. Number
markings were all over the street
to show where shell casings and
other forms of evidence had been
found. Blackened debris marked
the spot where the pipe bombs
exploded in the parking lot of a
fast food restaurant.
One squad car that police said
had been occupied by two officers
at the time had a bullet hole in the
back of the driver’s seat. Police on
the scene declined to say how the
two officers escaped the shots or if
they had ducked below the dash.
In the early confusion, witnesses reported seeing as many as
four attackers, including some
who had taken high positions for
better vantage points. Brown later
said investigators were confident
the only attacker was the suspect
later killed.

DALLAS (AP) — A man planted
pipe bombs outside Dallas police
headquarters and sprayed the
building with bullets during a wild
street battle early on Saturday
that authorities said miraculously
left no one dead or injured except
the suspect, who was later shot
and killed in his van by a police
sniper.
Dallas Police Chief David
Brown said the suspect identified
himself to authorities as James
Boulware, and he blamed police
for having lost custody of his son
and for “accusing him of being a
terrorist.”
But
authorities
declined to officially identify the
suspect until a medical examiner
verified it. Police arrived at the
home of Boulware’s father as an
Associated Press reporter was
there later on Saturday and began
questioning the elder Boulware,
also named James.
According to police, the suspect
opened fire on the building from
his parked van. Bullets pierced
the glass at the entrance and
caused damage inside, including
at the front desk, where the worker on duty had just gone to get a
soft drink.
He also fired on officers who
drove up to confront him, riddling
at least one squad car with bullets
but not actually hitting anyone.
Cellphone video shot from a nearby balcony or roof showed the
suspect’s dark-colored van ram a
squad car as gunshots rang out.
At one point the suspect got out of
his van and walked toward the
entrance to the building firing his
gun but turned around, according
to Dallas Police Maj. Jeff Cotner.
Police are not sure why he retreated.
The van then fled, eventually
stopping in a restaurant parking
lot in the suburb of Hutchins,
where the standoff ensued.
The suspect had told police
negotiators that he had explosives
in the van, and Brown said at a
news conference that the department decided to shoot him
because it felt he still posed
enough of a threat.
“When the negotiation was on,
he became increasingly angry and
threatening, such that we were
not only concerned with our officers there trying to contain the
scene being shot by him at a
moment’s notice,” but also people
nearby, Brown said.
Investigators found a package
of pipe bombs in the parking lot at
police headquarters and at least
two more pipe bombs in the van,
police said.

Hurricane warning issued as Carlos to gain strength, speed
MIAMI (AP) — A Hurricane
warning has been issued as
Carlos is expected to strengthen
and increase its forward speed
over coming days as it heads
toward southwestern Mexico.
The U.S. National Hurricane
Center said the hurricane’s eye
was slowly drifting north
Saturday evening and was
about 120 miles (180 kilometers) south of the tourist resort
of Acapulco and that Carlos’
winds had increased to 85 mph
(140 kph). The center of the
storm is expected to approach
the coast of southwestern
Mexico late Sunday, forecasters
said.
Mexico’s government has
issued a hurricane warning
from Lazaro Cardenas to Tecpan
de Galeana along Mexico’s
southwest mainland coast,
meaning hurricane conditions
were possible within that area
within 48 hours. A hurricane
watch is in effect for Punta San
Telmo to the west of Lazaro
Cardenas and a tropical storm
warning is in effect for East of
Tecpan de Galeana to Punta
Maldonado. Carlos is expected
to produce 2-4 inches of rain
across the southwestern coast
of Mexico through Tuesday.
These rains could cause life
threatening flash floods and
mudslides, forecasters said.
Carlos is the third hurricane
of the 2015 eastern Pacific season, and forecasters said hurricane-force winds extend outward from the eye about 25
miles (35 kilometers). The center
also cautioned that ocean swells
kicked up by Carlos will reach
the coast in the warning and
watch areas over the next days
and could produce life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Andor program provides father figure
Mike Soess tells
Kiwanis Club about
new local program
BILL OWENS
PLUMBING
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
There is a new program in
town attempting to provide a
father figure for boys in a family
without a father.
The Andor Program, initiated
by the Boy Scouts of America
and the Cleveland Boys & Girls
Clubs, is seeking to answer this
need in today’s society.
Mike Soess, the executive
director of the local program,
was the guest speaker at last
week’s Cleveland Kiwanis Club
luncheon at the Elks Lodge.
“We’re relatively new,” Soess
told the Kiwanians. “The program only began in January.”
The new executive director
explained the program’s mission
is to assist young men, 6 to 18,
on their passage to manhood.
He said these are boys who don’t
have a father figure at home.
Since taking over the program, Soess has learned the
word Andor is Hungarian for
manhood.
The director of the program
did not really know what he was
getting into when he took the
job. As soon as he was hired,
Soess was told he had to take a
group of young men on a camping trip the next weekend.
“It was a disaster,” he said. He
collected all the camping gear,
and the food, and no one showed
up. Approximately 25 signed up
for the trip, but a basketball
tournament got in the way.
It was then a mother came by
with her two boys, checking to
see what the event was all
about. He took the two boys on
the camping trip.
“They had a great time, and
we had plenty of food,” Soess
remarked. He said the boys
enjoyed themselves so much,
they show up at ever outing the
program has.
The camping program has
also progressed, Soess said.
There were 46 kids at a camping
trip to Birchwood just two weeks
ago.
Participants ranged from 8 to
16, and Soess was impressed by
the fact the older kids assisted
the younger campers.
The program now sponsors a
camping trip every month, year
round.

MIKE SOESS, center, executive director of the new Andor Program sponsored by the Boys & Girls
Clubs of Cleveland and the Boys Scouts of America, was the guest speaker at last week’s Kiwanis Club
luncheon. With the guest speaker are Kiwanis President Traci Hamilton, left, and this month’s program
director Jaynese Waddell, right.
Boys enrolled in the program
are broken into age groups —
elementary, middle school, and
high school. Volunteers have
programs every day at the seven
Boys & Girls Clubs units in
Bradley and Polk counties.
The volunteers, who must go
through an extensive screening
process before being accepted,
direct classes with skills young
men need to move ahead in life.
In addition to the camping trips
and the outdoors, they are
taught automobile skills and
several other basic skills.
The older kids are placed on a
advanced track for in-depth
skills they can use for the rest of
their life.
Every month the program provides a different theme for its
members, Soess said.
“This month the theme is
emergency preparedness,” he
said. “They are building medical
emergency kits and learning
medical skills. This will help
them react to a home emergency.”
The
program’s
director
emphasized that the volunteers
are extremely important to the
program.
“I work with about 400 kids
each day, but on the personal
level it’s only five to 10 kids. We
need the volunteers, so each can
personally work with five to 10
additional kids.”
He said the volunteers are
there to be a substitute father,
for a short while, to these kids.
Participants in the program
are selected by directors at each
of the Boys & Girls Club units,
and the program is financed by
a Pioneer grant through United
Way.
Each enrollee also goes
through the Boys Scouts of
America program as a member
of Cub Scout Pack 30-90, or
Boys Scout Troop 90.
The executive director is currently guiding the program from
the Tucker Unit of the Boys &
Girls Clubs in Cleveland.

Facing ‘peacekeeper babies,’
U.N. now offers DNA testing
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The
U.N. peacekeepers arrive; months
later, some leave infants behind.
Now the United Nations has quietly started to offer DNA testing to
help prove paternity claims and
ensure support for the so-called
“peacekeeper babies.”
It’s a delicate step, as countries
that contribute U.N. troops might
not welcome a practice that could
prove not only fatherhood but
wrongdoing. Of the dozen paternity claims received last year, four
were associated with alleged sexual abuse of a minor.
The new effort comes a decade
after a groundbreaking report on
sexual abuse and exploitation by
peacekeepers suggested that the
U.N. secretary-general be authorized to “require DNA and other
tests to establish paternity” so
peacekeepers would be pressured
to support the children they
“father and abandon.”
Many of the children are in a
desperate financial situation, said
the report by Zeid Raad alHussein, now the U.N.’s human
rights chief and a former peacekeeper himself.
No one knows how many children have been fathered by U.N.
peacekeepers over the decades in
some of the world’s most troubled
places. About 125,000 peacekeepers are deployed in 16 locations,
almost all in Africa or the Middle
East. Sexual abuse and exploitation remains a problem, with little
support available for victims.
While the U.N. has worked with
member states before on paternity claims, it only started offering a
DNA collection protocol, and testing kits, last year.
But it doesn’t go as far as the
action urged by a U.N.-commissioned report that was leaked
publicly this spring. A “DNA data
bank for all troops would be the
most foolproof method” for tackling paternity claims, it said.
Instead, the U.N., which has no
standing army, is allowing troopcontributing countries to decide
how much of an effort to make to
pursue paternity claims.
It began with a cable that the
peacekeeping office sent to its
missions in January 2014. A U.N.
report obtained this month by
The Associated Press described
the cable as offering “guidance on
assistance in instances of paternity claims involving current or
former members of peacekeeping
missions in terms of DNA testing.”
On Friday, U.N. officials
explained how it works: A member state is asked if they are able
to do DNA testing or whether the
U.N. should do it. The mother,
child and possible father are
swabbed. Results are compared.
The testing has not been made
mandatory. Since the U.N. started pressing states to follow up on
pending paternity issues, the
response rate is just 20 percent.
Cooperation in a possible criminal case, such as rape, could be
more challenging. The U.N. has
no authority to conduct criminal
investigations and can’t force a
country to do DNA testing.
Almost half of the paternity
claims reported since January
2010 — 14 out of 29 — were
made by minors who said they’
had been sexually abused. The
U.N., nervous about angering
member states amid a persistent
need for peacekeepers, does not
even list the countries whose
troops are accused. Officials say
that could change as soon as next
year.
Responses to the DNA testing
are mixed. Ban Ki-moon’s latest
annual report on combating sexual abuse and exploitation in the
U.N. system, released in
February, said “one member state
in particular has been very proactive.”
The country was not identified.
But a report on Public Radio
International’s “The World” in
August said the U.N. mission in
Haiti had brought seven local
women with their children to the
capital, Port-au-Prince, for DNA
tests. The report said peacekeepers from Uruguay had been asked
to submit DNA samples.
Uruguay’s mission to the U.N. did
not reply to an AP request for
comment.
Sexual relationships between
peacekeepers and locals are never
acceptable, Uruguayan Col.
Girardo Frigossi was quoted as
saying.
Live forever through the
lives you’ve touched.
When life comes to an end, isn’t your true lasting legacy more about living on
through those you’ve inspired than a statue in your image? We help you create
memories that enlighten, encourage, surprise and even transform those who
matter to you. So ask yourself: How will you be remembered?

‘Excellence in Green Leadership’
Cleveland receives TML honors
By JOYANNA LOVE

INCOMING TML PRESIDENT Livingston Mayor Curtis Haves
accepts the Tennessee Municipal League gavel from outgoing president Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland.
Local leaders find TML
workshops informative
By JOYANNA LOVE
Cleveland city leaders gained
insight from other cities and
informational workshops during
this year’s Tennessee Municipal
League conference.
The event marked the end of
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland’s
second term as the TML president, and city manager Janice
Casteel completed her term as
the Tennessee City Managers
Association president.
Rowland recapped the organizations past year of work during
his last speech as president.
“With big picture issues such
as common core, teacher and
state employee pay and health
insurance and the budget
remaining in the legislature,
1,400 bills were filed in the one of
the fastest paced sessions seen in
many years,” he said.
“As always our TML staff kept
our cities well represented and
kept up with the day-to-day
issues that affect each of us. It is
important we remain diligent and
continue to communicate with
our local legislators on our individual needs in our communities.”
Assistant
City
Manager
Melinda Carroll said the conference offers a variety of workshops
from “the League and the bond
fund and the Tennessee
Municipal Pool, who helps us
with our insurance.
“I just think it’s a great conference and its something that we
enjoy and there are always new
workshops that teach us benchmarking,” Carroll said.
She said it provides a time for
her to ask questions of leaders
from other cities.
Ever year the league keeps
attendees informed of laws that
affect local governments.
“It gives good training on the
legislative session and certain
bills that will affect our department,”
Jonathan
Jobe,
Development and Engineering
director, said.
Issues such as annexation
laws have seen significant
change in the past few years. A
conference
workshop
“Annexation Update and Other
Key Issues” reviewed these
changes and educated the
municipality leaders of expected
action in the coming year.
“We need to know if we can
annex or not because that is how
we get revenue,” Carroll said.
Changes to the law have limited the power of municipalities
across the state to annex land
and expand tax bases. Cities can
no longer annex by ordinance.
The city boundary can only be
expanded at the request of a
property owner or by petition by
a group of county residents.
A petition would send the
issue to referendum, where voters would decide the fate of the
request.
Jobe said more recent changes
have added additional restrictions on annexing farmlands.
With changes to the law, state
farmland can only be annexed at
the request of the owner, not by
referendum.
Leaders from Cleveland attend
the conference each year with different department heads depending on the workshops offered
Jobe said he attends when
breakout sessions are addressing
specific topics related to his
department.
Patti Petitt, director of Parks
and Recreation, said she has
attended the conference almost
every year.
“I enjoy it because you network
with other cities, get a lot of
information and see that all the
other cities go through the same
thing you do,” Petitt said.
For Fire Chief Ron Harrison, it
was his first time attending the
conference.
“Being new in this position, I
want to expose myself to all of the
learning opportunities that I
can,” Harrison said. “It was a
very worthwhile experience.”
Harrison said a workshop on
preparing for and accepting
change reinforced for him that
the Cleveland Fire Department is
on the right track.
A highlight of the conference
for Harrison was talking to city
council members of Columbia,
which has an ISO rating of 1.
Cleveland Fire Department has a
3 ISO rating. The rating is given
based on response time, equipment, etc. Many home insurance
companies base coverage cost on
this rate. The lower the ISO rating the better.
Harrison said CFD is in the top
3 percent in the nation, less than
1 percent of the nation’s fire
departments have a 1 ISO rating
“One of our projects is to evaluate why are we a three and what
can we do to improve,” Harrison
said.
He hopes to continue conversations with those in Columbia
as the CFD develops a strategy
for moving forward toward a 2
ISO rating.
Many of the sessions dealt with
dealing with conflict. Among
these were “From Division to
Decision: How We Can Get
Things Done?” and “Lessons
Learned from Ferguson, Mo. “
Nashville
Metro
Police
Department
Chief
Steve
Anderson shared how protests
are handled in that area by setting time limits for peaceful
protests and cooperating with
those who participate.
How Internet sales are impacting local sales tax revenue was
discussed in one of the conference workshops. Carroll said
many times when people buy
something online they do not pay
sales tax and it does not help the
local economy.
Exhibitions at the conference
also highlighted services the
municipal leaders may need in
the future.
Cleveland’s efforts to be environmentally aware have been
recognized by the Tennessee
Municipal League through its
“Excellence
in
Green
Leadership” award.
The award was presented
during the 76th Annual TML
Conference in Nashville.
“It was a great honor,”
Jonathan Jobe, development
and engineering director, said.
“It was a great accomplishment.”
Cleveland
Mayor
Tom
Rowland said in a press release
the organization highlighted
“Cleveland’s leadership in green
and substantiality initiatives
through partnerships with
organizations such as Cleveland
State Community College,
Tennessee Valley Authority’s
Green Power Switch, Tree City
USA and as active members of
Tennessee Renewable Energy
and Economic Development
Council” as reasons for its
selection this year.
The city of Cleveland,
Cleveland
Utilities
and
Cleveland State are recognized
on an annual basis by the Arbor
Day Foundation for tree planting and conservation efforts.
A partnership with the
University
of
Tennessee
Knoxville’s Smart Communities
initiative which outlined projects to increase sidewalks and
bicycle safety on Inman Street,
preserve streams and reuse
empty manufacturing facilities
was also listed as a key reason
Cleveland was selected for the
award.
“The fact we were able to do
planning on so many different
fronts that would lead to a
greener community through SCI
is a lot of what the award had to
do with,” City Planner Greg
Thomas said. “It’s really very
rewarding.”
Opportunities for the community to give input on the projects
are being planned. Thomas said
he hopes to have a display at
the Museum Center at Five
Points of the completed projects
and options for giving feedback.
Thomas described working
with the students as “really a
ton of fun.”
“It was really an honor to get
to be a pilot community,”
Thomas said.
The next partner for the
Smart Communities Initiative
will be the Southeast Tennessee
Development District.

Sunrise Rotary gala raises $78,000
Cadle: Bachman Academy mission
is to help students learn, succeed
By CHRISTY ARMSTRONG Banner Staff Writer
The Bradley Sunrise Rotary
Club recently raised $78,000 to
give to local charitable organizations.
During its June 6 fundraising
gala featuring former Atlanta
Braves pitcher Tom Glavine, the
club raised approximately
$78,000 after event expenses,
according to President Keith
Munford.
The club’s most recent meeting was a celebration of the
teamwork practiced to make the
event successful.
“I think just about everybody
in the club contributed in some
way. So many people worked so
hard,” Munford said.
He added “more money is
coming in,” so the club may be
able to give away more than
$78,000 this year.
Each year, the club holds a
gala for the purpose of raising
money to give away. Past recipients of gala funds have included
Habitat for Humanity of
Cleveland, The Salvation Army
of Cleveland, Angel Flight,
Family Promise, The Caring
Place, Life Bridges and several
other nonprofit organizations.
Munford encouraged the
Rotarians to keep working
together to help the community
and recognized some of the
“most valuable players” who
helped in the gala, including
event organizer Kevin Mendel.
At one point, Mendel also recognized the volunteers by giving
Zero candy bars to the “zeros”
who worked especially hard to
“add value to” the gala like zeros
add to the values of fundraising
dollar figures.
The celebration was capped
off with paper hats from The
Varsity, a well-known restaurant
near the Atlanta Braves stadium.
After the celebration, the
Rotarians heard from Anne
Cadle, the director of development at Bachman Academy.
Cadle shared the McDonald
private school’s mission and
presented
information
to
debunk what she said were
some “misconceptions” about it.
She explained the school’s
students are boys and girls in
the sixth through 12th grades
who have “learning differences.”
“They are very intelligent,”
Cadle said. “They just learn in
different ways.”
The school uses specially
trained teachers and small
classes to help students with
challenges
like
dyslexia,
Asberger syndrome or attention
deficit disorder learn and continue through school.
Both a day school for local
students and a boarding school,
Cadle said the current students
include some local ones as well
as some from other U.S. states
and far-flung countries like
Nigeria and Jamaica.
No matter where they hail
from, she said they all have one
thing in common; they need
extra help to do well in school.

Cadle read a letter from the
mother of a current student who
said the school helping him
through his challenges had “literally saved his life.”
The teenage boy had been
caught in a cycle of continually
doing poorly in school because
of learning disabilities and being
bullied by other students.
He had at one point been so
frustrated with school he had
considered committing suicide,
his mother wrote.
“All the stories are different,
but they are all the same in that
they have ... challenges we try to
help them overcome,” Cadle
said.
A big focus for the school is
“experiential” learning,

LONDON (AP) — In the homestretch of a 41-year U.S. Army
career shaped by war and the
scars of war, Gen. Martin
Dempsey sounds unconvinced
that Iraq has found its path to
lasting victory over the Islamic
State group.
But neither does the top military adviser to President Barack
Obama say the threats to Iraq
today justify sending American
ground troops back into combat.
He counsels patience, for now.
Give the Iraqis more time to
heal their internal divisions and
fight their own battles. Resist the
temptation to grab control of the
contest against the Islamic State
group. An enduring victory will
take more than military might; it
will require a unified Iraq supported by neighbors.
“If we were to take control of
this campaign, I mean literally
seize control of the campaign,
then there’s no doubt in my mind
we would probably defeat ISIL
on, let’s say, a faster timeline,
but at some considerable cost to
our young men and women in
uniform,” he told U.S. troops
Thursday in an aircraft hangar
in Naples, Italy, on one of his last
overseas trips before finishing
his four-year tenure as chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And that defeat would not last.
“Maybe ISIL goes away, maybe
they’re defeated militarily, and
two years from now another
group with another name and
another ideology ... will just be
back,” he said earlier that day,
using an alternative acronym for
the militants who occupy large
parts of Iraq and Syria.
“So this campaign is built on
the premise that it has to be won
by our coalition partners and by
the Iraqis themselves. That’s a
baseline assumption. If that
assumption changes I’ll go to
work on Plan B.”
It’s an assessment based on
Dempsey’s decades of experience
in the Middle East.
After the Sept. 11 attacks, he
served in Saudi Arabia as an
adviser on internal defense. He
led the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored
Division in combat in Iraq in
2003-04, commanded the U.S.
training mission in Baghdad in
2005-07, oversaw military operations in the greater Middle East
as acting commander of U.S.
Central Command in 2008, and
as Joint Chiefs chairman has
been the chief military adviser to
President Barack Obama and his
National Security Council.
Dempsey’s assessment also
reflects scars of his wartime
experience. On his desk in the
Pentagon sits a small wooden
box of laminated cards, one for
each of the more than 100 soldiers who died in Iraq under his
command in 2003-04. Carved on
the box’s lid are the words,
“Make it matter.”
His Iraq view, however, is not
shared by some in Congress, and
others, who say the U.S. cannot
afford to count on the Iraqis. U.S.
Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas,
chairman of the House Armed
Services
Committee,
calls
Obama’s approach too passive
and lacking strategic coherence.
Thornberry’s committee has
called Dempsey and U.S. Defense
Secretary Ash Carter to testify
Wednesday on the administration’s Middle East policy.
The Obama administration
clearly has its own doubts about
Iraq’s progress. This past week
the White House announced the
U.S. would send up to 450 troops
to a new base in Anbar province,
mainly to advise the Iraqis on
planning and execution of a
counteroffensive to retake
Ramadi, the provincial capital.
On Thursday, Dempsey said
more such U.S. hubs could be
opened elsewhere in Iraq as the
campaign advances.
Dempsey is leery of deeper
U.S. military involvement to help
the Iraqis because “that discourages, at some level, them from
really getting serious about
restoring their own security.” It’s
a wariness shared by Obama,
who said last August that he
would not to allow the U.S. to
“get dragged into another war in
Iraq.”
Dempsey knows Iraq and its
political weaknesses better than
most. While he is willing to give
the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad more time to
achieve political reconciliation
with the Sunnis, he does not
sound overly optimistic.
“We have not given up on the
possibility that the Iraqi government can actually be whole,” he
said.
He was alluding to lethal fissures between Iraq’s Sunnis and
Shiites. They worsened after the
2003 U.S. invasion that toppled
Saddam Hussein and then
returned during the tenure of
Nouri al-Maliki as prime minister.
The Obama administration
had high hopes that al-Maliki’s
successor, Haider al-Abadi,
would advance reconciliation
when he assumed office last
September, but he has yet to
deliver.
Dempsey also has considered
alternative courses of U.S. action
should the Iraqis prove incapable
of producing what he called
“game changers,” meaning
moves such as passing legislation to create a “national guard”
of Sunni tribal fighters.
“Then we will have to look for
other avenues to maintain pressure on ISIL and find other partners who can ensure that we can
protect ourselves,” he said,
describing what sounds like a
counterterrorism campaign not
necessarily aimed at restoring
the Iraq-Syria border erased by
IS.
“If ISIL begins to threaten our
persons, our facilities, our
national interests — if they begin
conducting external planning,
plots against the (U.S.) homeland, for example — we’ve got
(military) capabilities in the
neighborhood we can bring to
bear. ... But at this point I just
don’t think we should be giving
up on the government of Iraq and
its ability to conduct this campaign, with our help, without
(the U.S.) taking it over.”

Clinton urges new era of shared prosperity
NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary
Rodham Clinton called for a new
era of shared prosperity in
America and told thousands at
a presidential campaign rally
Saturday that workers can trust
her to fight for them.
“It’s America’s basic bargain,”
Clinton said. “If you do your
part, you ought to be able to get
ahead, and when everybody
does their part, America gets
ahead too.
“That bargain inspired generations of American families,
including my own,” the former
secretary of state and first lady
said.
In the first major speech of
her second campaign for president, Clinton portrayed herself
as a fierce advocate for those left
behind after the recession.
She cited President Barack
Obama, and former Presidents
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Bill
Clinton, her husband, and said
they embraced the idea that
“real and lasting prosperity
must be built by all and shared
by all.”
Her campaign said her “tenacious fighter” message will form
the foundation of the 2016
White House race. She also gave
a nod at the start of her address
to the prospect she would be the
first woman elected to the White
House.
Clinton told the thousands at
the outdoor rally on Roosevelt
Island that she was glad to be
with them “in a place with
absolutely no ceilings.”
Eager and excited Democrats
began assembling hours before
they heard from the candidate.
Marc Markley of New York
said he showed up at 2:30 a.m.
and waited in the dark for the
gates to open, with only a police
officer for company.

DemocrAtic PresiDentiAl candidate, former Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton gestures before speaking to supporters
Saturday on Roosevelt Island in New York, in a speech promoted as
her formal presidential campaign debut.
“I was about to fall asleep earlier, but now it’s totally worth
it,” he said. “I can’t wait to get
inside.”
Those arriving were greeted
by campaign manager Robby
Mook, who took an all-handson-deck approach to the event
by hawking merchandise — a
role typically assigned to a lowlevel staffer or volunteer.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our rally today,” Mook
called out to the crowd filtering
into Four Freedoms park, before
directing them to a table selling
campaign T-shirts and other
campaign-branded
gear.
“Thanks for being here — and
buy some products.”
On Friday, the Clinton campaign released a video on Friday
detailing her four decades in
public service, starting with her
work as a young lawyer at the
Children’s Defense Fund.
After the Saturday speech,
Clinton planned to visit earlyvoting states, with events
focused on her relationship with
her mother and her father’s
background as a veteran and
small businessman.
“You have to get up off the
floor and you keep fighting,”
Clinton says in the video, discussing her failed 1993 attempt
to overhaul the nation’s health
care system during her husband’s
administration.
“Everyday Americans need a
champion.”
Clinton has spoken out
strongly on immigration and
other issues important to parts
of the Democratic base.
But she has been reticent on
other policy questions that have
divided the party, among them a
trade deal with Pacific Rim
nations. Obama backs it.
Organized labor, liberals and
others say it would cost U.S.
jobs.
On Friday, dozens of union-
backed House Democrats voted
down a critical part of Obama’s
trade agenda, negotiating
authority that would let him
propose trade agreements that
Congress could accept or reject,
but not amend.
Clinton did not offer specific
policy proposals in her speech.
Aides said that would come in
the following weeks on issues
that include college affordability, jobs and the economy.
Clinton was joined by her
husband and daughter Chelsea
at the rally. It was the first time
the family had been seen together in public since Clinton began
her campaign in April, and the
crowd chanted “Bill! Bill! Bill!”
when she introduced him.
“Oh, that will make him so
happy,” Clinton said.

has served the Cleveland
community with their
hearing needs for 15

announce the opening of:
5 candidates and a rat: the 1972 Democratic debate
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Is
there room for a rat?
Faced with an unusually large
class of Republican candidates,
media organizations have begun
setting the criteria for 12 GOP
presidential debates between
August and March. There’s no
chance Ned Coll — who once
famously brandished a rubber
rat during a debate in New
Hampshire — will make the cut.
But his experience shows how
much has changed since the
days when having a mere five
candidates in a debate was
viewed as unwieldy.
For the first two scheduled
GOP debates this year, Fox News
and CNN each plan two-part
events: one for the top contenders and one for the long
shots. Such arrangements would
have kept the colorful Coll and
two others relegated to the second tier four decades ago.
In 1972, Democratic front-runner Sen. Edmund Muskie of
Maine faced mounting pressure
from Sen. George McGovern of
South Dakota to debate in New
Hampshire, which in 2016 will
celebrate 100 years of primaries.
Muskie finally agreed, and two
days before the March 7 primary,
they joined Sen. Vance Hartke of
Indiana, Los Angeles Mayor Sam
Yorty and Coll at the University
of New Hampshire, where they
sat on red chairs borrowed from
the bar of a nearby hotel.
Coll was the 32-year-old
founder of an anti-poverty group
in Connecticut called the
Revitalization Corps and he
brought the rat along to symbolize urban decay. He went on to
become a champion for public
beach access, and today — 25
years after he says Jesus Christ
spoke to him in a vision — his
causes include promoting prayer
in public schools.
“I’m considering entering
again, as a prophet,” he said in a
recent interview. “Basically, we
have to get back to our roots: In
God we trust, and we the people.”
The 1972 debate was broadcast on public television nationwide. Media accounts depicted it
as rather a dull night.
“The inclusion of minor candidates not only curtailed the time
available to Mr. Muskie and Mr.
McGovern but also made any
sustained debate between them
difficult,” wrote R.W. Apple Jr. for
The New York Times. A United
Press International story began,
“Cluttered by the participation of
three candidates given no chance
to win ...”
Carl P. Leubsdorf, who covered
the debate for The Associated
Press, remembers Coll as a high
point of the debate.
“They were discussing the
problems the country was facing,
and he suddenly held up this
rubber rat and said, ‘This is the
real problem,’” Leubsdorf, former
Washington bureau chief and
now columnist for The Dallas
Morning News. “As debate
moments go, it was pretty good.”
The New York Times reported
that the campaigns had hammered out the details of the
debate the previous week after
six and half hours of negotiations.
“You were really at the mercy
of what the candidates could
work out, and what the sponsors
did,” Leubsdorf said.
For the 2016 campaign, work
began much earlier. Steve
Duprey, a Republican National
Committeeman
from
New
Hampshire, was named chairman of the RNC’s debate committee in August 2014.
Hoping to avoid a repeat of
2012, when there were more
than 20 debates, he led the effort
to approach nearly two dozen
potential 2016 candidates and
figure out a better system. Their
consensus: fewer debates spread
out among more states and on a
more predictable timetable. So
far, the networks and other
media organizations largely have
agreed, he said, though the “final
frontier” — deciding who participates — is up to the hosts.

tion in 2013, SACSCOC notified
the college the following summer it had some more work to
do.
It was denied reaffirmation
of its accreditation and given a
year — until June of this year
— to correct the issues at hand.
A June 26, 2014, SACSCOC
statement on Cleveland State’s
status at the time said the college had “failed to demonstrate
compliance” with parts of its
“Principles of Accreditation.”
“The cited standards expect
an accredited institution to provide evidence that it (1) engages
in an ongoing, integrated, and
institution-wide research-based
planning
and
evaluation
process; (2) identifies expected
outcomes, assesses the extent
of achievement, and provides
evidence of improvement in the
area of academic and student
support services; and (3) justifies and documents the qualifications of its faculty,” it read.
While the college remained
accredited over the one-year
warning period, it was expected
to correct the issues or be at
risk of receiving other consequences — a second warning
or probation.
When the warning was
issued in June of 2014,
Seymour said the college would
be working to provide more
information
on
student
achievement, support services
and faculty credentials.
Seymour said at the time one
of his goals upon becoming the
president had been to lead the
college in a strategic planning
process, and he hoped seeing
that goal to fruition would be
enough to address the finding
related to planning.
The warning came after
Seymour started his tenure as
Cleveland State’s president in
January of 2014, but the report
SACSCOC had based its warning on had been submitted in
2013.
In April of this year, the col-
From Page 1
lege unveiled the “Cleveland
State 2020 Community First
Plan,” a five-year plan that had
been the result of months of
meetings with faculty, staff and
community members about
what the goals should be.
“The combination of completing the Cleveland State 2020
Community First Plan and
achieving reaffirmation this
year will power the college forward to accomplish significant
goals in the near future,”
Seymour
said
recently.
“Cleveland State is on the
move, and we appreciate the
great support from our community.”
Though it will not apply for
its 10-year reaffirmation again
until 2024, Director of
Institutional Research and
Effectiveness Marcia O’Conner
said the college is “committed
to monitoring our compliance
with the SACSCOC in the interim years.”
She added the college is still
awaiting a letter from SACSCOC President Belle S.
Wheelan to confirm what led to
it being reaffirmed again.
Describing the reaffirmation
process as a “rigorous” one, she
praised her colleagues for working together to offer the community the assurance its local
two-year college will stay fully
accredited.
“All of this is possible
because of the dedicated faculty and staff at Cleveland State.
... This is definitely a cause for
celebration!” O’Conner said.
SACSCOC offers accreditation to schools and colleges in
Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky,
Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and Latin
America, and it accredits all of
Tennessee’s community colleges.
According to SACSCOC,
Cleveland State first received
its accreditation in 1969.

but one has very unusual markings.
The month-old kitten has the
distinct shape of a cross on its
back. Also, there appears to be
a dove, or some type of bird, sitting on top of the cross.
Mrs. Gooslin said none of the
others cats are unusually
marked, although the mother
does have some streaks down
her back.
She said the kitten’s fur is a
dark gray, with the outlines of
the cross and dove a lighter
shade of a beige color. She said
the cross was not that distinctive until the past week or so.
The Gooslins plan to keep the
mother cat, and the unusual
kitten. The other three will be
put up for adoption.
Mrs. Gooslin said she and her
husband are Christians, and
they believe the kitten is a sign
from God.
They’ve also come up with a
very unusual name for the
unique kitten. They’re calling it
“Christofur.”

CLEVELAND/BRADLEY County Greenway board members, Allied Arts members and volunteers on
the The Stage at Greenway Park project celebrate its completion with a ribbon cutting.
Park
From Page 1
Other projects included the
playground, the restrooms and
the pavilion.
The Stage At Greenway Park
saw a lot of action even before
its official ribbon cutting. It
served as the performance
stage during “Groovin’ on the
Greenway” and hosted community musicians.
The first performer to take
to the stage after the ribbon
cutting was “American Idol”
runner-up Clark Beckham.
Beckham is a Lee University
graduate. This was his first
performance in Cleveland
since competing on the show.
Fisher recognized Harry Dale
as one of the volunteers who
had been on site for The Stage
project everyday.
“With the growing popularity
of Greenway Park, talk
emerged more than a year ago
to build an outdoor stage that
could accommodate thousands
of people,” Fisher stated. “The
Allied Arts Council recognized
the need and approached the
Greenway Board about the
possibilities of it being housed
in what is now Greenway Park.
At the time, the city did not
own the property. Following
the donation of the green space
between the Greenway and the
former First Tennessee Bank
location to the city, discussions ramped up about not
only a stage, but an overall
master plan for the area.”
The Allied Arts Council
helped to develop the design
for the stage.
The location of the stage was
originally planned for closer to
the pavilion, but the plan was
changed to allow multiple

events to be held at the park at
the same time.
According to a press release,
“In 2013, Bob Card, owner of
Sunrise Acceptance and Easy
Auto, donated the funds to
build the Greenway Park pavilion which was dedicated last
October. At the event, Card
learned of plans for a greenway
stage and expressed an interest in donating funds toward
its realization. Based in part
upon the voluntary workmanship of MWOA, Card donated
the entire $70,000 budget for
the stage project.”
“Obviously, the generous
donation from Bob and Susan
Card was the catalyst for us
being able to build the stage
sooner rather than later,”
Fisher related. “Their gift sets
an example of creative ways to
improve our community. The
Cards’ donation was an unexpected blessing that allowed us
to concentrate our resourcefulness on concept and design
rather than fund raising for
this project. It clearly gave us
this venue at least a year sooner than we originally anticipated.”
Men and Women of Action
donated their time to complete
the project. The stage was
designed to match the architecture of the existing pavilion.
The stage can be reserved
through the City Parks and
Recreation Department.

"Teachers are the biggest factor
in the success of our students,
and it is an honor to celebrate
educators who are helping their
students grow," Education
Commissioner Candice McQueen

state.”
Moss was selected by a panel
of professional educators from
across the state as The
Southeast Region Teacher of the
Year.
Dr. Martin Ringstaff, director
of Cleveland City Schools, said,
“Adam Moss is an exceptional
teacher; he brings energy and
dedication to his classroom every
day. We are proud of Adam’s
accomplishments; he is an excellent representative of the outstanding educators in Cleveland
City Schools.”
Moss has been a teacher at
Arnold Memorial Elementary
School for six years. He has
served Arnold on the School
Leadership Team and as a math
mentor-teacher for new teachers.
He is a member of the inaugural cohort of the Educator
Fellowship with the State

An agenda for the meeting was
not available; however, the recent
dog attack may have spurred members to move forward with the idea
of releasing a request for proposals
in finding services that might take
up county animal pick-up under a
contractual bases.
Sheriff Eric Watson has also
been asked to provide costs should
his department be asked to serve in
that capacity for county residents.
The Finance Committee will meet
at 11 a.m. to review some final
changes to the proposed 20152016 county budget.
The full Commission will meet in
a regular voting session beginning
at noon.
They will first hear any appeals
from county departments concerning proposed levels of revenue and
spending.
Commissioners will also vote on
a continuing resolution for funding
the county at current rates until a
final budget for the 2015-2016
budget year is approved.
The proposed budget could look
larger on the revenue side if a resolution submitted by Commissioner
Thomas Crye is passed.
Crye notes the Commission has
already committed to fund approximately $12 million toward the construction of a Lake Forest Middle
School academic facility with debt
service to begin in 2016-2017.
Because the county would be
required to give Cleveland City
Schools $6 million, a bond issue of
$18 million would be needed costing approximately $1.2 million
annually toward the county debt
service.
Crye’s resolution is for an
increase in the property tax of 10
cents to be approved this year with
its priority usage to be for “school
capital projects and/or the related
debt service for new school construction including the renovation
of and additions to existing school
facilities; emergency services needs;
industrial development; and other
future needs.”
One cent on the county property
tax rate brings in an approximately
$165,000 — an amount which
could comfortably pay for a school
bond issue.
Even if the resolution passes,
final approval of a tax rate will not
come until Monday, July 6, when
Commission will have its final
scheduled votes on the budget.
Commissioners will also consider
a resolution to request the
Tennessee
Department
of
Transportation conduct a study to
reduce the speed limit for semitractor trucks on North Lee
Highway/U.S. Highway 11 from
Paul Huff Parkway to the county
line and directed patrol of the highway. The current speed limit on
North Lee is 45 miles per hour.
Passage of the resolution will
also call for the cities of Cleveland
and Charleston to join in the
request.
Another animal issue will be on
Monday’s agenda concerning the
funding for the SPCA. The current
proposed county budget adds
$40,000 — $10,000 pre quarter —
to the SPCA budget.
Because the organization’s contract with the county will end
before the budget year 2015-2016
ends Crye has introduced a resolution seeking to ensure the organization will receive that extra funding
at least through the end of their
current contract at the end of Feb.
2016 and pending any negotiations
to extend or revise that contract.

the injuries sustained and who
needed to be treated and transported first.
“This was what we define as a
mass casualty incident. When
there are multiple patients
involved, we initiate the triage system. This allows us to make a
quick assessment and determination of what patients require
ambulance transport and those
who do not. Each patient is given a
triage tag signifying their injury
status,” Clark said.
A total of 15 patients were transported to Sky Ridge Medical Center
in Cleveland. There were no critical
injuries.
“It is not very often that we work
an incident with multiple patients.
We do train for mass casualty incidents and today it paid off. All
emergency agencies that responded did an outstanding job,” Clark
added.

Most of the group returned to
Barnwell late Friday night, but at
least one person remains in
Cleveland in order to see an orthopedic surgeon due to a broken
arm.

Efforts to bring a State Veterans’ Home to this area began in 2003. The proposed facility is still on track. Preliminary site studies and conceptual designs are continuing.
Because of the generous support from local businesses and individuals, like those shown above, and the Citizens of Bradley County,
we are much closer to the facility becoming a reality.
The Southeast Tennessee Veterans Home Council appreciates the support we have received and we remain focused on our mission to bring a State Veteran Home to this area.

Long odds ahead for Obama on trade agenda

retired Air FOrce reserve tech Sgt. Ed Kienle, 73, pauses
during an interview at his home, Thursday in Wilmington, Ohio. The
government says U.S. Air Force reservists who became ill after being
exposed to Agent Orange residue while working on planes after the
Vietnam War would be eligible for disability benefits. The Department
of Veterans Affairs said it has been working to finalize a rule that
could cover more than 2,000 military personnel, including Kienle,
who flew or worked on Fairchild C-123 aircraft in the U.S. from 1972
to 1982.
VA moving to extend
benefits to some
Air Force reservists
WASHINGTON
(AP)
—
Reversing a long-held position,
the Department of Veterans
Affairs now says Air Force
reservists who became ill after
being exposed to Agent Orange
residue while working on planes
after the Vietnam War should be
eligible for disability benefits.
The VA said it has been working to finalize a rule that could
cover more than 2,000 military
personnel who flew or worked on
Fairchild C-123 aircraft in the
U.S. from 1972 to 1982. Many of
the Vietnam-era planes, used by
the reservists for medical and
cargo transport, had sprayed millions of gallons of herbicide during the 1955-1975 military conflict in Southeast Asia.
If the White House Office of
Management
and
Budget
approves the change, it would be
the first time the VA had established a special category of Agent
Orange exposure for military personnel without “boots on the
ground” or inland waterways
service in Vietnam. That could
open the VA to renewed claims by
thousands of other veterans who
say they were exposed to Agent
Orange in less direct circumstances, such as on the open sea.
The announcement is expected
as early as this coming week.
An Institute of Medicine report
in January concluded that many
C-123 reservists had been
exposed to chemical residues on
the aircraft’s interior surfaces
and suffered higher risks of
health problems as a result. The
institute is part of the National
Academy of Sciences, a private
organization
chartered
by
Congress to advise the government on scientific matters.
Using that report, the department “determined that potentially exposed veterans would be eligible for Agent Orange-related
benefits,” the VA said in a statement. It also is reviewing whether
certain active-duty troops may
have been exposed. “Our goal is
to ensure all affected C-123
crewmembers receive disability
benefits and medical care.”
Before requesting the report,
the VA had generally denied
claims submitted since 2011 by
C-123 reservists, saying it was
unlikely they could have been
exposed to Agent Orange from
the residue.
About 653,000 Vietnam-era
veterans have received Agent
Orange-related disability benefits
since 2002, when the VA officially
began tracking the cases.
The proposed rule would
expand coverage under the 1991
Agent Orange Act to reservists
who
were
stationed
at
Rickenbacker Air National Guard
Base in Columbus, Ohio,
Pittsburgh Air National Guard
Base and Westover Air Reserve
Base
in
Chicopee,
Massachusetts.
Many were pilots, mechanics
or medical personnel and simply
followed orders when it came to
working on C-123s, according to
the C-123 Veterans Association.
It was formed four years ago by
retired Air Force Maj. Wesley T.
Carter after he and other
reservists noticed a pattern in
the various ailments they suffered.
The reservists under the rule
would be entitled to VA disability
benefits if they developed health
problems such as prostate cancer, diabetes and leukemia that
were determined by the VA to be
connected to Agent Orange.
“There wasn’t that much talk
of Agent Orange,” said retired
Tech. Sgt. Ed Kienle, 73, of
Wilmington, Ohio, who worked
on C-123 aircraft as a pilot and
mechanic from 1972 to 1980. He
said reservists generally knew
the planes had once sprayed
Agent Orange, but he didn’t think
twice about it when he was asked
to clear away parts coated with
residue.
After retiring from the military
in 1997, Kienle said he developed
skin cancer and respiratory problems and is being treated for indications of prostate cancer. He
has joined with other reservists
in the “Buckeye Wing” stationed
at Rickenbacker in pushing for
C-123 benefits.
In April, VA Secretary Bob
McDonald expressed dismay in
an email to department officials
that multiple delays have
“stretched our already thin credibility.” At the time, officials were
looking to Congress for legislation to provide benefits for the C123 reservists.
But veterans groups and lawmakers including Sen. Sherrod
Brown, D-Ohio, said the VA had
legal authority to bypass
Congress and act on its own.
Brown and two other senators
said this past week they would
block a Senate vote on President
Barack Obama’s nominee for
VA’s top health post until the
department made clear whether
or when a new rule would take
effect.
The upcoming rule would not
include roughly 200,000 “Blue
Water” veterans who say they
were exposed to Agent Orange
while serving aboard deep-water
naval vessels off Vietnam’s coast,
according to two VA officials who
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized
to discuss the matter publicly.
“If they do cover the C-123
guys and not us, we would feel
very slighted,” said John Paul
Rossie, executive director of the
Blue Water Navy Vietnam
Veterans Association, pledging a
renewed push for benefits.
Veterans’ organizations and
several members of Congress
have been calling for expanded
VA benefits in a broader range of
environmental toxic exposure
cases, including those involving
Gulf War neurotoxins and burn
pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
White House and Republican
leaders in Congress face long
odds in trying to revive trade legislation after a telling defeat engineered by President Barack
Obama’s fellow Democrats.
Obama’s ambitious trade
agenda is in serious doubt, as is
his quest for a capstone secondterm achievement.
Without the power to negotiate
trade deals that Congress can
approve or reject, but not amend,
Obama has little chance of
securing the Pacific Rim pact
that his administration has
worked toward for years.
Friday’s rebuff highlighted the
strained relations between
Obama
and
congressional
Democrats, who voted down a
worker assistance program crucial to the negotiating authority
measure just hours after the
president implored them not to.
Obama and House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, had
worked in rare tandem on this
issue, yet their inability to deliver
raises the question of whether
much else will get done with
Republicans running Congress
and Obama in the White House
for the next 18 months.
“This isn’t over yet,” Rep. Paul
Ryan, R-Wis., a main supporter
of the trade legislation. “I’m
hopeful that the Democrats
understand the consequences
and get together with the president and finish this as soon as
possible.”
House GOP leaders took steps
that would allow another vote on
the worker retraining program in
coming days, but that would
require at least 90 votes to shift.
Republicans sounded pessimistic that they could add
detainees
who
were
at
Guantanamo when he was sworn
into office after campaigning to
close it.
Yet Obama remains far from
achieving his closure goal, with
just a year and a half left in
office, final transfer approvals
coming slowly from the Pentagon
and lawmakers threatening to
make movement out even harder.
The transfers to Oman are the
first to be given final approval by
Defense Secretary Ash Carter,
who has been on the job four
months.
The six new transfers include
many more votes for a program
that most on their side deride as
wasteful and unnecessary.
House Democratic leader
Nancy Pelosi of California and
her labor-backed allies are
determined to oppose the Trade
Adjustment Assistance program
as a way to collapse the entire
package. So it seems unlikely
that enough Democratic votes
would emerge to save the program, even though the party has
promoted it for years.
“Some of my Democratic colleagues are in danger of selfimmolation” on the workers’ program and “I think that’s sad,”
said Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore.,
one of the few Democrats who
backed Obama on Friday’s votes.
Another possible route is to
Officials: Deeply personal info in hackers’ hands
WASHINGTON (AP) — Deeply
personal information submitted
by U.S. intelligence and military
personnel for security clearances
— mental illnesses, drug and
alcohol use, past arrests, bankruptcies and more — is in the
hands of hackers linked to China,
officials say.
In describing a cyberbreach of
federal records dramatically worse
than first acknowledged, authorities point to Standard Form 86,
which applicants are required to
complete. Applicants also must
list contacts and relatives, potentially exposing any foreign relatives of U.S. intelligence employees to coercion. Both the applicant’s Social Security number and
that of his or her cohabitant are
required.
In a statement, the White
House said that on June 8, investigators concluded there was “a
high degree of confidence that ...
systems containing information
related to the background investigations of current, former and
prospective federal government
employees, and those for whom a
federal background investigation
was conducted, may have been
exfiltrated.”
“This tells the Chinese the identities of almost everybody who has
got a United States security clearance,” said Joel Brenner, a former
top U.S. counterintelligence official. “That makes it very hard for
any of those people to function as
an intelligence officer. The database also tells the Chinese an
enormous amount of information
about almost everyone with a
security clearance. That’s a gold
mine. It helps you approach and
recruit spies.”
The Office of Personnel
Management, which was the target of the hack, did not respond to
requests for comment. OPM
spokesman Samuel Schumach
and Jackie Koszczuk, the director
of communications, have consistently said there was no evidence
that security clearance information had been compromised.
The White House statement
said the hack into the security
clearance database was separate
from the breach of federal personnel data announced last week — a
breach that is itself appearing far
worse than first believed. It could
not be learned whether the security database breach happened
when an OPM contractor was
6 Gitmo detainees sent to Oman to break pause in transfers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Six men
long held at Guantanamo Bay
arrived Saturday in Oman, the
first movement of detainees out
of the U.S. prison for terrorism
suspects in five months as
Congress considers new restrictions on transfers.
The six detainees — all from
Oman’s war-torn Mideast neighbor Yemen — boarded a flight
from the U.S. prison in Cuba on
Friday, bringing Guantanamo’s
population down to 116. The
move means President Barack
Obama has now transferred

send revised legislation back to
the Senate. But senators
approved the larger package only
narrowly last month after
intense battles, and the White
House desperately wants to
avoid giving opponents there
another chance to strangle the
legislation.
White House press secretary
Josh Earnest dismissed Friday’s
outcome as an “entanglement”
and “procedural snafu.”
But it was more than a “snafu”
that caused Pelosi and the
majority of House Democrats to
revolt against their president.
The White House, congressional Republicans and business
groups argued that the special
negotiating power is a necessary
tool for trade deals opening up
crucial markets to American
goods.
Union-backed
House
Democrats never bought the
argument. They felt burned by
promises from past administrations about trade deals they
blame for job and manufacturing
losses in their districts.
Trade bills have always had a
tough road in Congress. After
election losses in recent years
the House Democratic caucus is
smaller and more liberal,
attuned to economic issues in
the wake of the financial sector
meltdown and recession.
Against that backdrop Obama
was not able to bring enough
House Democrats his way.
Pelosi, from trade-dependent
San Francisco, announced on
the House floor at the last
moment that she would be siding with the majority of her caucus and against her president.
“We want a better deal for
America’s workers,” she said.

“Unencrypted information of this kind this is
disgraceful — it really is disgraceful. We’ve had wakeup
calls now for 20 years or more, and we keep hitting the
snooze button.”
— Joel Brenner, a former top U.S.
counterintelligence official
hacked in 2013, an attack that
was discovered last year.
Members of Congress received
classified briefings about that
breach in September, but there
was no public mention of security
clearance information being
exposed.
Nearly all of the millions of
security clearance holders,
including some CIA, National
Security Agency and military special operations personnel, are
potentially exposed in the security
clearance breach, the officials
said. More than 4 million people
had been investigated for a security clearance as of October 2014,
according to government records.
Regarding the hack of standard
personnel records announced last
week, two people briefed on the
investigation disclosed Friday that
as many as 14 million current and
former civilian U.S. government
employees have had their information exposed to hackers, a far
higher figure than the 4 million
the Obama administration initially disclosed.
American officials have said
that cybertheft originated in China
and that they suspect espionage
by the Chinese government, which
has denied any involvement.
The newer estimate puts the
number of compromised records
between 9 million and 14 million
going back to the 1980s, said one
congressional official and one former U.S. official, who spoke to
The Associated Press on condition
of anonymity because information
disclosed in the confidential briefings includes classified details of
the investigation.
There are about 2.6 million
executive branch civilians, so the
majority of the records exposed
relate to former employees.
Contractor information also has
been stolen, officials said. The
data in the hack revealed last
week include the records of most
federal civilian employees, though
not members of Congress and
their staffs, members of the military or staff of the intelligence
agencies.
On Thursday, a major union
said it believes the hackers stole
Social Security numbers, military
records and veterans’ status
information, addresses, birth
dates, job and pay histories;
health insurance, life insurance
and pension information; and age,
gender and race data.
The personnel records would
provide a foreign government an
extraordinary roadmap to blackmail, impersonate or otherwise
exploit federal employees in an
effort to gain access to U.S.
secrets —or entry into government computer networks.
Outside experts were pointing
to the breaches as a blistering
indictment of the U.S. government’s ability to secure its own
data two years after a National
Security Agency contractor,
Edward Snowden, was able to
steal tens of thousands of the
agency’s most sensitive documents.
After the Snowden revelations
about government surveillance, it
became more difficult for the federal government to hire talented
younger people into sensitive jobs,
particularly at intelligence agencies, said Evan Lesser, managing
director of ClearanceJobs.com, a
website that matches securityclearance holders to available
slots.
“Now, if you get a job with the
government, your own personal
information may not be secure,”
he said. “This is going to multiply
the government’s hiring problems
many times.”
The Social Security numbers
were not encrypted, the American
Federation
of
Government
Employees said, calling that “an
abysmal failure on the part of the
agency to guard data that has
been entrusted to it by the federal
workforce.”
“Unencrypted information of
this kind this is disgraceful — it
really is disgraceful,” Brenner
said. “We’ve had wakeup calls now
for 20 years or more, and we keep
hitting the snooze button.”
The OPM’s Schumach would
not address how the data was protected or specifics of the information that might have been compromised, but said, “Today’s
adversaries are sophisticated
enough that encryption alone
does not guarantee protection.”
OPM is nonetheless increasing its
use of encryption, he said.

Novelist loses sailboat, saves
marriage, in the Atlantic
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A
South Carolina novelist lost his
storm-battered sailboat but saved
his marriage during a failed
Atlantic crossing that ended in
his rescue by students aboard a
maritime college’s training ship.
Michael Hurley’s 30-foot ketch,
The Prodigal, was abandoned and
left drifting 500 miles south of
Newfoundland — about 2,000
miles short of his goal of Ireland
— when he was rescued last week
by students and staff from the
Maine Maritime Academy.
Hurly and his wife, Susan, had
decided to split up, but they
began communicating again
while he was on his journey. The
rescue came three days after the
couple decided to renew their
vows, he said.
“We just had come to a point
where we needed something to
move us off dead center. This
apparently was it. So there’s a silver lining in that. This was the
impetus that helped us to change
our marriage,” he said.
The academy’s training vessel
has responded to maritime emergencies in the past but
Wednesday’s episode marked the
first rescue by students on a
training cruise, said Nathan
Gandy, commandant in charge of
midshipmen.
Hurley said his boat had been
battered by back-to-back storms
and was taking on water about
1,200 miles into his trip to
Ireland.
Police: 4 found dead in Ohio home;
teenage girl injured
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Four
people were killed in a shooting at
an Ohio home and a teenage girl
who was found outside the residence Saturday was injured, a
police sergeant said.
Police were searching for a suspect in the deaths of two males
and two females, and Sgt. David
Sicilian of the Columbus homicide squad said they fear for the
injured teen’s safety.
“We obviously have a homicidal
suspect out here who’s not afraid
to kill somebody. We need to
quickly find out who that is or the
persons responsible for this,”
Sicilian told reporters.
Police did not identify a suspect
or motive in the slayings. They
also said the ages and identities
of the victims would not be
released until relatives have been
notified.
Police responded to a report
around 7:30 a.m. Saturday of a
female with blood on her, and officers found the teenager outside.
She told them someone was dead
inside the home, police said.
When officers went inside, they
found the four bodies.
“It’s a pretty ugly scene inside,”
Sicilian told The Columbus
Dispatch.
A police dispatcher said earlier
Saturday that the person found
outside the home was a 16-yearold girl who wasn’t believed to be
seriously injured. Sicilian said he
could not confirm the female’s age
or provide any additional details
about her. She was treated at a
hospital and released, police said.
The dispatcher also said the
bodies were found in the basement. But Sicilian said he could
only verify that they were inside
the home. Media outlets reported
that the victims were found in
multiple locations inside the residence.
Rancher denies firing gunshots
near U.S. researchers in Nevada
(AP) — Nevada rancher and
states’ rights advocate Cliven
Bundy said Saturday that contract researchers for the federal
Bureau of Land Management had
no business being on rangeland
where he grazes cattle, but he
denied he or his supporters fired
gunshots near them.
Three employees of a nonprofit
Nevada organization told authorities they were monitoring water
sources in the Gold Butte area,
about 100 miles northeast of Las
Vegas, on June 5 when they were
approached by two men who
asked what they were doing.
The researchers quickly left
after six shots were fired later
that night near their camp in an
area that’s being considered for
federal protection as a national
conservation area. There were no
injuries.
Las Vegas police are investigating the incident. Bureau of Land
Management officials have
declined comment beyond a
statement saying the shooting
prompted them to take unspecified safety precautions in the area
to protect is employees and contractors.
The incident follows a tense
standoff in April 2014 between
Bundy and the bureau after a federal judge authorized the agency
to remove his cattle from public
land. Bundy, who does not recognize the authority of the federal
government, stopped paying grazing fees over 20 years ago and
owes more than $1 million.
The confrontation pitted federal
officers against heavily armed
states’ rights advocates who had
converged on the Bundy ranch to
halt the roundup of his cattle. The
Bureau of Land Management
backed off, citing safety concerns.
It allowed Bundy supporters to
release 380 cattle from pens that
had been collected.
Authorities ID woman killed
in Iowa mall shooting
CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — A
woman shot and killed in an eastern Iowa shopping mall was a 20year-old employee of a children’s
museum inside the mall and
knew the man who shot her,
authorities said on Saturday during a news conference.
Coralville police said Andrea
Farrington, of Cedar Rapids, was
shot multiple times in her torso,
and that a handgun and three
9mm casings were found at the
scene. Witnesses have said she
was shot in the back, and several
people came to her aid to try to
staunch her bleeding and perform CPR. Farrington died at an
Iowa City hospital.
Officials have charged 22-yearold Alexander Matthew Kozak, of
North Liberty, with first-degree
murder in the shooting that
occurred Friday evening inside
Coral Ridge Mall near its food
court. No one else was injured.
Kozak was arrested a short
time after the shooting. He is
being held on $10 million bond.
Johnson County Attorney
Janet Lyness said police believe
Farrington was targeted, saying
Kozak told an investigator that he
had left the mall, retrieved a gun
from his home and returned to
shoot Farrington. Authorities
declined to discuss a motive, saying only that the two knew each
other from working at the mall.
Officials confirmed that Kozak
was a security guard at the mall.
Authorities do not believe there
were any other suspects
ment. Further details about the
accident and the injuries were not
immediately available.
The roller coaster will remain
closed until the investigation is
complete. Park officials said there
was no reason to believe the ride
malfunctioned, but that they are
working closely with local and
state authorities.
The accident occurred the
same day a 10-year-old girl was
airlifted to a hospital when she
was found unconscious after riding a roller coaster at Six Flags
Magic Mountain in Southern
California.
The girl and a parent were
transported by helicopter Friday
afternoon, the Los Angeles
County Fire Department said.
There was no word Saturday on
her condition or whether it’s related to the ride.
The girl was found breathing
but unconscious after riding the
Revolution, according to a statement from the amusement park
in Valencia.
The 113-foot high looping steel
coaster reaches speeds of 55 mph
during a two-minute ride. The
Revolution was cleared to reopen
shortly after the incident, Six
Flags Magic Mountain spokeswoman Sue Carpenter said.
Church van overturns on North
Carolina interstate; 15 hurt
BENSON, N.C. (AP) —
Authorities say 15 people in a
church van were hurt after their
van blew a tire and overturned on
Interstate 40 in North Carolina.
Trooper Vincent Rivera says
the large van was eastbound
Saturday morning when a tire
went flat, sending the van across
the interstate median before the
vehicle overturned in the westbound lanes near Benson. He
says it was fortunate that no
westbound vehicles on the busy
interstate were hit.
Rivera says all nine adults and
six children in the van were hurt,
and that none of the injuries
appeared serious. He says 13 of
those in the van were sent to a
hospital.
The trooper says the van was
traveling from Raleigh to the
coast. He declined to identify the
church.
Mother, stepdad to have joint
trial in custody flight case
LANCASTER, N.H. (AP) — A
judge has ruled that the mother
and stepfather of a girl who was
taken out of the United States a
decade ago during a custody dispute can have a joint trial.
Genevieve and Scott Kelley
and her then-8-year-old daughter fled in 2004. They said they
were protecting the child from
her biological father and
Genevieve’s ex-husband, saying
he abused her. The father, Mark
Nunes, was investigated but
never charged. Investigators said
they believed he was unfairly
accused.
The Kelleys have pleaded not
guilty in New Hampshire to custodial interference and witness
tampering charges.
HONOLULU (AP) — Six scientists who were living under a
dome on the slopes of a dormant
Hawaii volcano for eight months
to simulate life on Mars have
emerged from isolation.
The crew stepped outside the
dome that’s 8,000 feet up the
slopes of Mauna Loa to feel fresh
air on their skin Saturday. It was
the first time they left without
donning a spacesuit.
The scientists are part of a
human performance study funded by NASA that tracked how they
worked together as a team. They
have been monitored by surveillance cameras, body-movement
trackers and electronic surveys.
Crew member Jocelyn Dunn
said it was awesome to feel the
sensation of wind on her skin.
“When we first walked out the
door, it was scary not to have a
suit on,” said Dunn, 27, a doctoral candidate at Purdue University.
“We’ve been pretending for so
long.”
The dome’s volcanic location,
silence and its simulated airlock
seal provided an atmosphere similar to space. Looking out the
dome’s porthole windows, all the
scientists could see were lava
fields and mountains, said
University of Hawaii professor
Kim Binsted, principal investigator for the study.
Tracking the crew members’
emotions and performance in the
isolated environment could help
ground crews during future missions to determine if a crew member is becoming depressed or if
the team is having communication problems.
“Astronauts are very stoic people, very level-headed, and there’s
a certain hesitancy to report problems,” Binsted said. “So this is a
way for people on the ground to
detect cohesion-related problems
before they become a real issue.”
Spending eight months in a
confined space with six people
had its challenges, but crew members relieved stress doing team
workouts and yoga.

Giant purple sea slugs slime San
Francisco Bay Area beaches
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — A giant
purple blob from the sea — a slug
— is invading East Bay beaches
and waterways this summer, and
some experts say it may be
caused by warmer temperatures
near coastal waters.
These California sea hares are
harmless plant eaters. But their
big size and unusual abundance
this year is turning heads at the
shorelines in the cities of Crab
Cove in Alameda and Miller Knox
Regional Park in Richmond, as
well as Lake Merritt in Oakland
and Tomales Bay in Marin
County, the Contra Costa Times
reported
Saturday
(http://bayareane.ws/1IRy5ej ).
“We are getting calls from the
public asking what the heck is
this big weird purple blob,” said
Carolyn Jones, a spokeswoman
for the East Bay Regional Park
District. “It’s native to our area.
It’s not endangered, but they are
rarely seen other than an occasional one here or there.”
Officials have no precise count,
but dozens have been seen on
some beaches at the same time,
and two dozen were spotted last
month in an inlet to Lake Merritt
in Oakland.
The first ones were spotted last
fall. But more have been seen in
May and June — including ones
that captured the crowd’s attention last weekend at an annual
sand castle-building contest at
Crown Beach in Alameda.
The slugs can reach 15 pounds
or more and 30 inches in length,
although the ones in the East Bay
are smaller — about the size of a
large fist or a heart. They are
called sea hares because their
thick antennae resemble rabbit
ears.
The boom in sea hares may be
related to warmer temperatures
near coastal waters, said Morgan
Dill, a naturalist at the Crab Cove
Visitor Center in Alameda. “We
can’t say for sure why we’re seeing so many, but the Bay temperatures are definitely warmer this
year,” Dill said.
2 injured in California
roller-coaster accident
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) —
Two people were injured, one seriously, in a roller-coaster accident
at California’s Great America
amusement park in Santa Clara,
officials said Saturday.
A park employee was hospitalized for traumatic injuries after
being struck by a train returning
to the station of the Flight Deck
coaster Friday night, park officials said in a statement.
A guest riding the coaster at
the time reported a hand injury
and was taken to a hospital for

of McCoy’s historical research
and data.
The marker is located on the
old Lusk homeplace on the east
side of Dalton Pike, two to three
miles north of the Georgia State
line.
State plaque 2A 109 is titled
Civil War “No Man’s Land,” and
depicts the area between Union
forces in Cleveland and
Confederate forces near Dalton.
In addition to troops in the area,
there were also hostiles who
plagued local residents of both
sympathies.
A big crowd turned out for
Saturday’s ceremony, many in
Civil War period dress. There
were also members of the
Missionary
Ridge
Union
Regiment, and members of the
National Daughters of the
Union.
McCoy was overjoyed by the
turnout and the program.
“It was absolutely wonderful,”
he said at the conclusion of the
ceremony and unveiling of the
marker. “There is so much
interest in the history of this
area, and there are so many stories families can tell.”
A number of descendants of
the Lusk family attended
Saturday’s ceremony.
McCoy served as host for the
program, with a number of distinguished speakers.
“I grew up in this community,” said McCoy in telling why
he requested the roadside
marker
and
organized
Saturday’s event.
He said the journey began
three years ago when his mother urged him to look through
keepsakes of his late grandmother. “The items were not
about me and my immediate
family, but of the families who
lived in this area,” he said. “It
was an enriching discovery.”
“We’re all connected in so
many ways,” McCoy continued.
“It’s a heritage all of us share.”
McCoy also introduced 97year-old Robert Steele, the
great-great-grandson of Joseph
Lusk II, and Tom Lusk of
Alabama, the only Lusk at
Saturday’s event.
Featured speaker was Jim
Ogden, chief historian for the
Chickamauga-Chattanooga
National Military Park. Ogden is
a noted Civil War historian,
especially for the Chattanooga
and North Georgia area.
Cleveland Cub Scout Pack
3477 opened the program by
presenting the colors and leading those in attendance in the
Pledge of Allegiance.
The invocation was provided
by Mike Downs of Knoxville,
commander of the Tennessee
Sons of Union Veterans of the
Civil War.
Bradley County Mayor Gary
Davis was unable to attend, but
executive assistant Lindsay
Hathcock welcomed those in
attendance. “This area (of the
county) has had a tremendous
amount of changes over the
years,” Hathcock said in urging
everyone to enjoy the program.
Melissa Woody, Vice President
of Tourism Development for the
Chamber of Commerce, welcomed everyone on behalf of the
Commerce, and urged everyone
to enjoy the history of the area.
She said tourism has a $121
million impact on Bradley
County’s economy.
Woody also had words from
Dr. Bryan Reed of Cleveland
State Community College, who
was unable to make the event.
Reed is president of the Bradley
County
Historical
and
Genealogy Society.
Woody pointed out that
Tennessee is the only state that
is a Civil War Heritage Area,
adding that “Investment in preserving the past is an investment in our future.”
Another speaker was Mary
Ann
Peckham,
Executive
Director of the Tennessee Civil
War Preservation Association.
She is also a member of the
Tennessee
Sesquicentennial
Commission.
Peckham said a touchpoint
for all Americans is to understand the Civil War’s impact on
the homefront, like those who
lived in South Bradley County.
She said the Commission’s
goal for the 150 anniversary of
the Civil War was to keep the
history alive. She added that
this includes the lesser-known
battles, like the fighting in
Bradley County.
She said these battles, per-
haps, shaped the destiny of the
war.
Sam Elliott, a Chattanooga
attorney and former Chairman
of the Tennessee Historical
Commission, spoke of his role in
approval of the “No Man’s Land”
marker.
“It plays a significant role in
the study and preservation of
Tennessee’s Civil War history,”
he said.
“When we approved a marker,
it has to be significant about a
person, location, or event,”
Elliott said. “It has to be of
statewide significance.”
Elliott said it is not easy to get
a marker approved, and
applauded the research and
work McCoy put into the packet
he submitted. Approval comes
from the full Commission.
Ogden provided extensive
information about the time of
the Civil War when the area
between Cleveland and Dalton
was “No Man’s Land.”
He said much of the fighting
was made by family members
and neighbors. “It’s easy to lose
the fact that the war (on the
local front) was a contact of
societies, communities, and
neighbors,” he said. “It was a
war that went yard to yard and
door to door.”
“Here at the Lusk home, there
was fighting in the front yard
and at the front door,” Ogden
continued. “It was a war that
did come home.”
“There were tens of thousands
of troops who trudged up and
down these valleys, between
Cleveland and Chattanooga,”
Ogden said.
“This valley was truly ‘No
Man’s Land’, leading to the
fighting in Chickamauga and
Lookout Mountain,” he added.
“The fighting between December
1863 and May 1864 was to control the railroad, and a vital
gateway to the region.”
“This marker reintroduces us
to another, very personal, war,”
Ogden continued. “It was a war
waged from door to door. This
region, like many others across
the nation, were divided.”
Ogden said that with this
newest Civil War marker, “We
have the promise that this and
other stories will be told.”
FEATURED SPEAKER Jim Ogden leaves the podium at the end of Saturday’s dedication of a new
Civil War marker on Dalton Pike. The marker designates the area which was between Confederate
forces to the South and Union forces to the North as “No Man’s Land.” A big crowd attended the dedication, with several in period dress like the Union troops on the left.

dedication ceremony. With the marker, from left, are Melissa Woody of the Chamber of Commerce; Sam

Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, June 14, 2015— 13
CHS, WVHS collaborate on student exchange program
Special to the Banner
A select group of students from
Walker Valley and Cleveland high
schools will have an opportunity
to immerse themselves in another
culture through a GermanAmerican partnership program.
Carole Dale, Cleveland High
foreign language teacher, said she
learned about the program several
years ago at a National Foreign
Language conference. A chance
conversation with Walker Valley
foreign language teacher Lisa Eulo
revealed a mutual interest in the
program.
The two formed a partnership
in the summer of 2014 to further
study the opportunity.
“It immediately seemed to be a
perfect fit for us,” Dale said.
The two teachers, although
employed in different school systems, will be traveling to Germany
this summer, taking a preliminary
step for the exchange program.
GAPP was founded in 1972 with
the purpose of initiating and
developing short-term student
exchange programs between the
United States and Germany.
The two instructors contacted
GAPP and selected Burghausen as
the city to visit. Dale explained the
choice was made largely because

Wacker Chemie , which is building
a billion-dollar-plus facility in
Bradley County. The new plant is
a stone’s throw from Walker Valley
High School.
Two German schools, MariaWard-Realschule Burghausen and
Kurfurst-Maximilian-Gymnasium
Burghausen, have agreed to partner in the student exchange.
Dale said the GAPP experience
will allow Bradley County and
Cleveland students to “glean
insight” into the global connection
at work in their “own backyard.”
“Our students are a part of a
generation to which it is fundamentally important to remain
competitive on a global scale,”
Dale said. “Global competency, in
particular the ability to communicate properly and effectively
across borders and the ability to
truthfully
analyze
primary
sources in order to plan for worthy exchange of goods and information, are skills which are
immediately important for us as
educators to include in our curriculum.”
Eulo and Dale recently received
approval from both the Cleveland
and Bradley County Boards of
Education to pursue the partnership.
City school board member
Peggy Pesterfield said nothing
compares to the value of experiencing a culture firsthand.
“I took several groups of students to Europe when I taught
French, and they all felt very differently about the world when
they came home,” she said. “They
were amazed at both the similarities and the differences.”

German students during this past school year. Dale has formed a partnership with Bradley Central language teacher Lisa Eulo as they pursue an exchange program with two schools in Burghausen,
Germany. The two teachers will make a trip to Germany this summer. “Each student had a new
appreciation of the world and people from other cultures. One
wants to see the whole world after
that first experience,” she added.
Continuing her approval,
Pesterfield said, “I highly recommend it.”
Bradley Cleveland Public
Education Foundation voiced its
support for the project early on.
Executive Director Lynn Voelz
praised the collaboration between
the Bradley County and Cleveland
City school systems.
“Carol Dale and Lisa Eulo have
become a unified team in this
endeavor,” she said. “They have
spent years working together to
the benefit of their school systems, and this project is no different.”
According to an April parentinformation meeting, the academic exchange will last two weeks.
Students from the two schools will
stay with host families. The
American students will accompany the German students to their
classes and experience everyday
life in Germany.
A full weekend in the middle of
the two-week visit will be used to
explore local cities.
Eulo and Dale applied for a
Fund for Teachers fellowship in
the fall to finance a trip to
Burghausen this summer. BCPEF
provided several workshops to
help applicants work through
their Fund for Teachers proposals.
Dale and Eulo will use the trip
as an opportunity to visit the two
partner schools and scope out
local sights of cultural interest.
Dale said she and Eulo will
bring materials from their initial
visit into the classroom throughout the 2015-16 school year.
“Students will be required to
think critically and problem solve
as they investigate and explore the
town of Burghausen,” she said.
“They will consider the school and
home environments, food, culture
practices, economics, religion and
language.”
According to Dale, the encounters with German citizens of
Burghausen will encourage students to “recognize different culture perspectives and to become
more compassionate neighbors.”
The ideal participant for the
exchange trip is: A student at
Walker Valley High School or
Cleveland High School; well
behaved; academically strong;
and studying in the German language program at one of the
schools.
“We don’t anticipate a huge
number of students and their
families to apply,” she said. “In
fact, conversations with seasoned
GAPP schools have revealed we
need to be ready to take students
who may not be in the German
program at our respective
schools.”
Initial cost estimates revealed
each participating student will
have to pay at least $2,000 for
flight and land transportation,
although the amount is subject to
change.
The cross-cultural experience
has the potential to have an
intense and far-reaching impact
on the participants.
“One of the most important
ways students can develop culture competence is through intensive immersion, being a cultural
outsider and having opportunities
for cultural reflection,” Dale said.
“They will build an understanding
of a new context and then be able
to reflect more thoughtfully on
their own.”

Former FloridA Gov. Jeb bush speaks to journalists at the e-Estonia Showroom during his visit
in Tallinn, Estonia on Saturday. Bush visits Estonia, a once-bleak Soviet state that now has a growing,
free-market economy. If he was trying to stoke memories of his father and his legacy as president, Bush
appears to have largely succeeded.
Bush happy to echo father’s
legacy in eastern Europe
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Jeb
Bush strolled the halls of the
Polish parliament, praised
Germany’s economic boom since
the fall of the Berlin Wall and visited Estonia, a once-bleak Soviet
state that now has a growing,
free-market high-tech economy.
If the goal was to stoke memories of his presidential father and
avoid those of his presidential
brother, it seems to have largely
succeeded.
“If you think about, in terms of
history, my dad’s managing — in
cooperation with great leaders of
his time ... the fall of the Soviet
Union. It’s been talked about at
every stop we’ve made,” Jeb
Bush said Friday.
The former Florida governor,
who’s set to enter the 2016 presidential race Monday, never mentioned his brother.
In the U.S., Jeb Bush routinely
expresses his love and respect for
his brother, former President
George W. Bush, who left office
largely unpopular with many
Europeans, mostly due to his
decision in 2003 to invade Iraq.
In Europe, Jeb Bush tried to
walk a path that recalled his
father, former President George
H.W. Bush, vice president under
Ronald Reagan and commander
in chief when communism receded.
“Think about how much
change has taken place in these
years,” Jeb Bush said. “It’s a
good reminder that we’re a lot
freer than we were, and we need
to protect that freedom. And
that’s why the United States
needs to be engaged.”
A statue of Reagan adorns the
tree-lined grounds near the
Polish parliament building,
which Bush visited on Thursday
for meetings with government
leaders.
Bush said people told him during the trip that in 1987, thenVice President George H.W. Bush
gave a nationwide speech in
Poland from Krakow that was
uncensored, unheard of at the
time in a nation still governed by
a communist government.
In a 1989 visit to Poland, the
elder Bush said it was the West’s
goal to “forge closer and enduring
ties between Poland and the rest
of Europe.” He returned in 1992,
not long after the country’s first
free presidential election in six
decades, received a hero’s welcome and promised that the U.S.
would help the young democracy
“to succeed and to prosper.”
When Jeb Bush participated in
a private group discussion in
Warsaw, “he implied that what
his dad did was important for
him,”
said
Agnieszka
Komorowska of the East
European Democratic Center.
Throughout his visit, Bush
stressed that as president, he
would renewed the American
commitment to its allies in
Europe, most notably in their
relationship with Russia and its
president, Vladimir Putin. Bush
called Putin a “bully” who can
only be contained by a show of
robust force.
“This plays well,” said Michal
Baranowski, head of the Warsaw
office of the German Marshal
Foundation of the U.S. “This visit
is seen as important and good,
good for Poland.”
Bush said he spoke with officials in Estonia about strengthening bonds with former Soviet
republics “so that countries that
are totally dependent on sources
of energy from Russia have an
alternative source of supply to
help them with their security.”
Bush’s message was about
more than Eastern Europe. He
argued that the U.S. needs to
play a larger role in leading coalitions around the world to confront Russia and the rise of the
Islamic State group.
That was a nod to his father,
who built a coalition of nations
before countering Iraq’s invasion
of Kuwait in 1991.
Bush’s brother assembled a
smaller coalition when he invaded Iraq in 2003. President
Barack Obama has formed a
coalition of more than 40 countries to battle IS in Iraq and
Syria.
In Berlin on Tuesday, Bush
reminded his German audience
what strong U.S.-European ties
had accomplished, including the
reunification of Germany after
the fall of the Soviet Union.
“That reunification, as you all
know, was not inevitable,” Bush
said to a crowd that included
German Chancellor Angela
Merkel. “But Chancellor (Helmut)
Kohl was adamant and my father
was deeply supportive. Because
of that, Germany is whole and
free.”
KATERYNIVKA, Ukraine (AP)
— A single crack of an automatic
rifle shattered the tomb-like
silence of this no-man’s-land village in east Ukraine. The gunshot, fired in error by a jumpy
soldier, sent government border
guard troops on patrol this week
scrambling to brace against the
ambush they expect every time
they venture into Katerynivka.
The men said that four of their
fellow soldiers were killed in a
recent clash with separatist
rebels.
“Katerynivka is nominally the
territory of Ukraine, but for the
time being it is just a buffer zone
where there could be bandits and
separatist militants,” said Pavlo
Petrovich, known to fellow soldiers by the code-name Papa, a
border guard service volunteer
from the western region of
Chernivtsi. Like others in the
town, he declined give his surname, using only his first name
and patronymic.
What Ukrainian troops call a
buffer zone is a village of a few
hundred people stretched along a
corrugated dead-end country
lane hemmed in by heaving trees.
Most of the young, fit and able
have long left, as one nervous
resident explained.
“I lived here with a son, a
daughter-in-law and their child,”
said Pyotr Vladimirovich, dabbing sweat from his sun-roasted
brow. “I am the only one left. I
can’t just abandon everything.”
For groceries, residents venture to the village shop, which
remains open only until lunch.
After then, few dare to brave
the outdoors.
“I just take care of the property, there’s nothing else to do,”
said Pyotr, who worked as a bus
driver before the war broke out.
Water is drawn from wells,
while electricity is still provided
without interruption.
The sound of shelling begins as
dusk nears. Katerynivka has
been spared much direct damage
and the projectiles largely whistle
over to fall closer to Ukrainian
positions a few minutes up the
road.
Still, venturing around the village is fraught with risks and any
false step is potentially lifethreatening. Over the weekend, a
local 54-year old cowherd was
hospitalized with grievous shrapnel wounds after setting off a
tripwire while leading his animals to graze. The homemade
explosive device was made with a
coil from a spring mattress.
Ukrainian soldiers say it was
laid by rebels, some of whom they
say are likely from the village.
“Most of the healthy male population is fighting on the side of
the LPR,” said Papa, using the
initials of the self-styled breakaway Luhansk People’s Republic
movement. “They remain in communication with their families
and sometimes carry out attacks
on our checkpoints.”
Until a few weeks ago, people
could travel to and from separatist areas by driving along a
road running past the turnoff to
Katerynivka. Soldiers guarding
the way now turn back all traffic.
As the 450-kilometer (280mile) line separating government
and rebel territory began to
evolve into a fixed feature last
year, Ukrainian authorities created an unwieldy system of permits
for movement from one zone into
the other.
With fighting surging again
near the main separatist stronghold, only one of the corridors
has been left open in the two separatism-plagued regions of
Donetsk and Luhansk. Things
are arguably harder in the
Luhansk region, where the irascible governor, Hennadiy Moskal,
has decreed that no civilians are
any longer allowed to travel
between government and rebelcontrolled areas.
“Why should I let people go
through, just so they can get
fired at with grenade-launchers
and machine guns?” Moskal
said. “I have responsibilities
before the president, the government and the people of Ukraine
to preserve lives.”
As the eponymous regional
capital of Luhansk is held by separatists, Moskal is forced to run
his office out of the relative backwater of Severodonetsk, where
livelihoods have revolved since
Soviet times around the local
chemical factories. Only 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the front
line, the town is blissfully somnolent and thoughts of war appear
distant.
Children tug at the branches of
mulberry trees whose fruit otherwise drops to the ground to stain
the sidewalks layered in fluffy
poplar seeds. A pedestrian area
along Lenin Street is a magnet for
young mothers pushing buggies.
In the early summer midday sunshine, few stay outside for long
though.
But if formal control over
Severodonetsk is more clearly
defined, uncertain popular loyalties make it no less an ambiguous quantity than Katerynivka.
The town came under the sway
of armed rebels for a brief period
last year — long enough to
ensure presidential elections in
May could not be held there.
On the face of it, things have
changed. Severodonetsk sports
hallmarks of a more fervently
patriotic new order. In front of
the imposing, colonnaded House
of Culture building, a plinth once
topped by the statue of Vladimir
Lenin, the Bolshevik leader
reviled by Ukrainian nationalists,
stands empty save for the national blue-and-yellow flag. A craze
has swept through Ukraine for
the removal of Lenin monuments, regardless of abiding
fondness among many elderly
people for the communist era.
The ties that bind the region
with Russia — whose strong role
in organizing and supporting the
separatist movement is widely
accepted — are still readily
apparent. Advertising notices
glued to lampposts and noticeboards almost all offer holiday
packages to Russia’s south.
Economic ties are being made
into a formal reality in rebel
areas, where pensions have
started to be paid in Russian
rubles. The currencies of Ukraine
and Russia are used interchangeably in the separatist fiefdoms, with the latter said to prevail where militiamen from
Russia have gathered in large
numbers.
Pro-Russian sympathies have
historically been strong in a
region where Ukrainian identity
has tended to be much weaker
than elsewhere in the country.
Russian is spoken almost universally and if Ukrainian is heard in
towns like Severodonetsk, it is
now more likely to be coming
from the mouths of troops garrisoned there.
Soldiers are viewed with
resentment, not least for their
not infrequent propensity for
aggressive boozing, which has led
to a blanket ban on the sale of
alcohol to troops. A trio of disappointed and empty-handed men
in military fatigues observed
Wednesday trudging from one
shop to another in Severodonetsk
suggested liquor vendor are holding up their end of the bargain.
Leftist mayors take over Madrid, Barcelona in historic turn
MADRID (AP) — Spain’s
biggest cities — Madrid and
Barcelona — were completing
one of the nation’s biggest political upheavals in years Saturday
by swearing in far-left mayors.
The radical leaders have promised to cut their own salaries,
halt homeowner evictions and
eliminate perks enjoyed by the
rich and famous.
The leadership changes came
three weeks after Spain’s two
largest traditional parties were
punished in nationwide local
elections by voters groaning
under the weight of austerity
measures and repulsed by a
string of corruption scandals.
In Madrid, 71-year-old retired
judge Manuela Carmena was
sworn in to cheers from jubilant
leftists who crowded the streets
outside city hall shouting “Yes
We Can!” as they ended 24 years
of rule by the conservative
Popular Party in Spain’s capital.
“We want to lead by listening to
people who don’t use fancy titles
to address us,” Carmena said
after being voted in as mayor by
a majority of Madrid’s new city
councilors.
Carmena has vowed among
other things to take on wealthy
Madrilenos who enjoy exclusive
use of the city-owned Club de
Campo country club — opening it
up to the masses. “We’re creating
a new kind of politics that doesn’t
fit within the conventions,” she
said before being voted in. “Get
ready.”
In Barcelona, anti-eviction
activist Ada Colau was expected
to be sworn in as the city’s first
female mayor Saturday evening.
Colau has questioned whether
it’s worth spending 4 million
euros ($4.5 million) of city money
to help host the glitzy Formula 1
race every other year. She thinks
the funds would be better spent
on free meals for needy children
at public schools.
Carmena and Colau ran for
office as leaders of leftist coalitions supported by the new proworker and anti-establishment
Podemos — “We Can” — party
formed last year. It is led by the
pony-tailed college professor
Pablo Iglesias, a big supporter of
Greece’s governing far-left Syriza
Party.
Iglesias smiled from a balcony
inside Madrid’s city hall as he
watched Carmena being sworn
in, then pumped his arm into the
air with a clenched fist as he celebrated the victory with others
on the streets, saying the left’s
takeover of Madrid should be
seen as the goal his party has
nationally.
“Our principal objective is to
beat the Popular Party in the
general elections,” Iglesias said.
The political fragmentation
propelling Carmena and Colau
into office marks a historic
moment in Spanish politics, said
Manuel Martin Algarra, a communications professor at the
University of Navarra who specializes in public opinion.
“Madrid and Barcelona for the
first time are not going be governed by political parties, but by
coalitions made up of social
movements,” he said. “This was a
punishment vote to the traditional political establishment in
Spain.”
For Carmena’s Ahora Madrid
— or “Madrid Now” — coalition
with the Socialist Party, that
means a mandate to roll back
moves by the Popular Party to
privatize city services, as well as
carry out audits of the city’s
debts and contracts awarded to
private companies seen as political cronies, said Pablo Carmona,
an incoming Madrid city councilor.
The coalition also wants to set
up a municipal anti-eviction division, create a housing bank of
vacant apartments for needy residents and provide cheap quality
daycare to working class families.
Before becoming a judge,
Carmena was a labor lawyer
defending worker-rights activists
detained during the dictatorship
of Francisco Franco that ended
in 1975. The law firm she cofounded was targeted by a rightwing extremist who killed five of
her colleagues and wounded four
in an attack in 1977.
In Barcelona, the 41-year-old
Colau is best known for leading
the Platform for People Affected
by Mortgages, formed in 2009 to
fight evictions of crisis-hit home-
owners who under Spanish law
must still repay much of what
they owe to lenders even after
losing foreclosed homes.
Colau, who will be Barcelona’s
first female mayor, has raised
eyebrows by siding with residents who say their neighborhoods are unlivable because the
city has too much tourism. The
main complaints are passengers
disembarking from cruise ships
and visitors who stay in illegally
rented apartments.
“If we don’t want to become
Venice, some sort of limit on the
tourism burden will be needed in
Barcelona,” Colau told the leading El Pais newspaper. “We can
grow more, but I don’t know how
much.”
There’s no way of knowing how
much Carmena and Colau will
shake up the status quo because
their coalitions are “groupings of
people with different opinions
and very little political experience
who are going to try new things
and some of them will not be
viable,” said Martin Algarra.
“In Barcelona,” Colau said, “a
bet was made for change.”

North Korea accuses U.S. of
targeting it with live anthrax
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — North
Korea is accusing the United
States of targeting it with anthrax
and wants the U.N. Security
Council to look into they called
America’s “biological warfare
schemes.”
A letter from North Korea’s U.N.
ambassador to the council president and the U.N. chief, made
public Friday, claims that the
U.S. “possesses deadly weapons
of mass destruction” that it is trying to use against them.
U.S. defense officials disclosed
in late May that low concentration samples of live anthrax were
shipped to labs in 19 states and
four countries, including a U.S.
military facility in South Korea.
The anthrax was supposed to
have been killed with gamma rays
before being shipped.
The spokesman for the current
council president, Malaysia, said
he had not heard of any initiatives on the council to take up the
issue but would inquire further.

N.Y. rural residents on edge
as search for 2 killers continues

FoRMeR U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona is helped to the podium by her husband, retired
U.S. Navy Capt. Mark Kelly, as the USS Gabrielle Giffords, a littoral combat ship built at the Austal
USA shipyards in Mobile, Ala, is christened during a ceremony Saturday in Mobile, Ala. Former
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords of Arizona had a Navy vessel named in her honor during a
ceremony at a Mobile, Alabama, shipyard Saturday afternoon.
Navy ship christened for Giffords,
who was wounded in 2011 shooting
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Former
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby”
Giffords of Arizona had a Navy
vessel named in her honor during a ceremony at a Mobile,
Alabama, shipyard Saturday
afternoon.
Giffords joined others including Jill Biden, wife of Vice
President Joe Biden, as the USS
Gabrielle Giffords was christened in coastal Alabama. The
419-foot ship was built at the
Austal shipyard and is the
Navy’s 10th littoral combat ship
designed to operate in shallow
waters near the coast.
Giffords was badly wounded
in a 2011 shooting that left six
dead and 13 injured in Tucson.
The Democrat left Congress and
later founded an organization
that supports gun control.
“In congress I was proud to
support our armed forces. I love
the Navy — I even married a
sailor,” Giffords said as she
kissed her husband Mark Kelly,
a retired Navy captain and astronaut who stood by as she
addressed the crowd. “Thank
you to all who built this ship.
She’s stealthy; she will defend
freedom around the world.”
Giffords was chosen as the
vessel’s namesake because of
the characteristics she exemplified after the attack, officials
said.
“Courage comes in many,
many forms — physical, mental,
spiritual and political. Gabby
has truly modeled courage and
resilience,” said Vice Admiral
Philip Cullom, deputy chief of
Naval operations for fleet readiness and logistics.
Biden was the ship’s sponsor
and Cullom said her spirit will
guide the vessel while it is in
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) —
Residents in rural New York,
unaccustomed to locking their
doors, day or night, were on edge
Saturday as the massive manhunt for two killers stretched out
over an eighth day and the two
men remained undetected after
cutting themselves out of a maximum-security prison with power
tools.
More than 800 law enforcement officers in the hunt for
David Sweat and Richard Matt
scoured
the
fields
and
Adirondack woods several miles
around the Clinton Correctional
Facility in Dannemora near the
Canadian border.
The search resumed the morning after a prison worker was
charged with smuggling in hacksaw blades, chisels, a punch and
a screwdriver bit to help the men
escape. Joyce Mitchell appeared
in handcuffs before a judge in
Plattsburgh on Friday night; her
lawyer entered a not guilty plea
on her behalf.
On Saturday, John St.
Germain, who lives in the small
town of Cadyville, was scanning
the skyline and the Saranac
River with a pair of binoculars.
“I’m kinda just looking at
things along the river,” he said.
“The river is real high right now.
And if I see something, I know
what to do.”
Kevin Farrington, a city engineer in Plattsburgh, stood close
watch over his 2-year-old son
Dylan as the toddler jumped at
the chance to go outside for the
first time since the prison break.
A contingent of about 40 armed
officers scanning the field
across the highway set the family at ease for the first time all
week.
“Obviously, you know the
prison is there, but there’s never
been an incident so you feel
secure,” said Farrington, who
moved to the banks of the
Saranac River 13 years ago.
“When something like this
happens, you think about a couple of guys who are pretty bad
actors capable of anything,”
Farrington said. “You know
they’re desperate and probably
not going to want to be taken
alive. They’ll probably go to any
lengths.”
Farrington said he keeps a
loaded gun inside his home, just
in case.
The 51-year-old Mitchell, a tailor shop instructor at the prison,
was arraigned Friday on a felony
charge of promoting prison contraband and a misdemeanor
count of criminal facilitation.
Mitchell was ordered held in
jail on $100,000 cash bail or
$200,000 bond. She was moved
to a jail in another county
Saturday morning at the request
of the Clinton County sheriff and
is due back in court Monday
morning.
Mitchell is accused of befriending the 34-year-old Sweat and
48-year-old Matt and giving them
the contraband, according to
criminal complaints. District
Attorney Andrew Wylie said earlier the contraband didn’t include
the power tools the men used to
cut holes in their cell walls and a
steam pipe to escape through a
manhole last weekend.
service. Biden called the ship a
feat of engineering excellence.
During his speech, Kelly
paused to thank Biden for
attending the ceremony as she
mourns the death of her stepson
former Delaware Attorney
General Beau Biden. Biden, a
Delaware National Guard major
who spent a year in Iraq and was
awarded a Bronze Star, died May
30 after a two-year battle with
brain cancer.
“Know that Beau was the kind
of person that made us all
deeply hopeful for our country’s
future. He did that for Gabby
and for me,” Kelly said.
“As a military mom, there is
no one I would rather be with
than you here today, the ones
who stepped up to serve,” Biden
said, also adding, “Gabby represents the same qualities the
Navy embodies.”
NAACP leader to speak Monday;
parents say she lied on race
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) —
Spokane NAACP leader Rachel
Dolezal says she will speak about
the furor over racial identity
sparked after her parents said she
has falsely portrayed herself as
black for years.
KHQ-TV in Spokane reported
that Dolezal sent a message to
NAACP members saying she
would address the situation at a
Monday night meeting of the
group.
“As you probably know by now,
there are questions and assumptions swirling in national and
global news about my family, my
race, my credibility, and the
NAACP,” Dolezal’s message said. “I
have discussed the situation,
including personal matters, with
the Executive Committee.
“I support their decision to wait
until Monday to make a statement. The Executive team asked
that I also release my response
statement at the same time, which
will be during the 7-9 p.m. monthly membership meeting.”
Dolezal is a 37-year-old artist
and activist with dark curly hair
and light-brown skin. Her parents
in Montana have produced pictures of her as a blonde, blue-eyed
child to prove that she is white.
The city of Spokane is investigating whether she lied about her
ethnicity when she applied to be
on the police board. And police on
Friday said they were suspending
investigations into racial harassment complaints filed by Dolezal,
including one from earlier this
year in which she said she
received hate mail at her office.
“My sons and I would appreciate your thoughts, prayers and
support during the interlude,”
Dolezal also said in her message.
The NAACP issued a statement
Friday supporting Dolezal, who
has been a longtime figure in
Spokane’s human-rights community and teaches African studies
to college students.
“One’s racial identity is not a
qualifying criteria or disqualifying
standard for NAACP leadership,”
the group said. “In every corner of
this country, the NAACP remains
committed to securing political,
educational and economic justice
for all people.”
Dolezal has not returned several telephone messages left by The
Associated Press.
On Thursday, she avoided
answering questions directly
about her race and ethnicity in an
interview with The SpokesmanReview newspaper.

RAChel DolezAl, president of the Spokane chapter of the
NAACP, poses for a photo in her Spokane, Wash. home. Dolezal is
facing questions about whether she lied about her racial identity, with
her family saying she is white but has portrayed herself as black.
“That question is not as easy as
it seems,” she said. “There’s a lot
of complexities ... and I don’t know
that everyone would understand
that.”
“We’re all from the African continent,” she added.
The Spokesman Review in
Spokane reported Saturday that
the black man she claims is her
father implied otherwise in a brief
telephone interview. Albert
Wilkerson Jr. said that he has
“nothing negative to say about
Rachel” and was reluctant to get
involved in the controversy.
“I don’t want to throw anyone
under the bus,” Wilkerson said.
Asked about social media postings
in which Dolezal identifies him as
her father, Wilkerson replied: “You
know the answer to that, and
that’s all I’m going to say,” then
hung up.
Ruthanne Dolezal of Troy,
Montana, told reporters this week
that she has had no contact with
her daughter in years. She said
Rachel began to “disguise herself”
after her parents adopted four
African-American children more
than a decade ago. Rachel later
married and divorced a black man
and graduated from historically
black Howard University.
Ruthanne Dolezal also showed
reporters pictures of her daughter
as a child, with blonde hair, blue
eyes and straight hair.
Her daughter dismissed the
controversy, saying it arose from
litigation between other relatives
who have divided the family.
Ruthanne Dolezal said the family’s ancestry is Czech, Swedish
and German, with a trace of
Native American heritage. She
produced a copy of her daughter’s
Montana birth certificate listing
herself and Larry Dolezal as
Rachel’s parents.
Meanwhile, an inquiry was
opened at Spokane City Hall,
where Dolezal identified herself in
her application to the Office of
Police Ombudsman Commission
as having several ethnic origins,
including white, black and
American Indian.
Dolezal was appointed to the
oversight board by Condon. She
has filed numerous reports of
racial harassment since 2009 with
authorities in Spokane and nearby Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where
she worked for the Human Rights
Education Institute.
The region, which is overwhelmingly white, has a troubled
history with race relations.
Northern Idaho once served as a
home base for the Aryan
Nations.
Earlier this week, Spokane
police released files into their
investigation of Dolezal’s report
that she received a hate mail
package and other mailing in late
February and March. The files
said the initial package Dolezal
reported receiving did not bear a
date stamp or bar code.
Investigators interviewed postal
workers, who said it was unlikely
the package could have been
processed through the post office.

Art Meet Up event held
at the Old Woolen Mill
By JOYANNA LOVE
Birds chirped and a slight
breeze blew as if inviting the
artists to come settle in and draw
a while.
That is what a group of
Cleveland artists did Saturday
during an Art Meet Up at the Old
Woolen Mill.
Coordinator Jamie Barks said
she chose the location because
“it’s this kind of a sad, interesting, yet inspiring place. I feel like
there is a good energy here and
there is a lot of potential in this
space. “
“I’ve always been drawn to
telling a story through pictures
and images,” Barks said. Barks
received permission from owner
Dr. Ron Coleman to hold the
event at the site.
“It’s awesome and we should do
this more,” attendee Carie
Faricelli said. “The community
should support things like this in
the future.”
The willow tree beyond the
Weaver’s Room proved to be a
favorite sketch subject that day.
“Willow trees are my favorite
trees. The are such a beautiful
symbol of life and vitality because
they always have to grow near
water,” Barks said
Mother and daughter Grey and
Ivy Briggs also chose to focus on
the willow tree.
“I like art,” Ivy Briggs said,
commenting that painting was
her favorite.
Grey Briggs said she was familiar with the Old Woolen Mill
because “my husband takes pictures here a lot.” Briggs said she
was excited for the opportunity to
draw at the site and talk with
other local artists.
“I used to be an art major years
and years ago, then I switched to
English instead. I thought it
would be cool to just have a
chance to do art for a couple of
hours away from the house,” Grey
Briggs said.
For both Briggs and Faricelli oil
painting is their favorite art medium. Each has also been painting
since they were teenagers.
“I started at a little art league
up in Indiana, then I eventually
went to the American Academy of
Art,” Faricelli said.
Faricelli took pictures at the
Mill to serve as inspiration for
future projects.
“I’ve always found that being
around other creative people will
foster more creative thoughts,”
Faricelli said.
Self-proclaimed hobby artist
John Kalabus said he was interested in having the opportunity to
meet with other artists. Despite
no one else in his family being an
artist, Kalabus embraced the
hobby at a young age.
He also took some photos of the
Old Woolen Mill that he might use
as inspiration for acrylic paintings in the future.
“It’s a very interesting place,”
Kalabus said.
He said the brickwork and
overall architecture were appealing to him.
Art of another kind could be
seen throughout the site as graffiti has been sprawled on several
walls.
Barks plans to hold more Art
Meet Up events in the future.

Arms earns spot on national volleyball team
By JOE CANNON
Banner Assistant Sports Editor
Some take rejection as a
cause to quit, others use it as
motivation to work harder.
One local athlete has taken
the latter approach, using it as
a springboard to earn a chance
to represent the nation in athletic competition.
Bradley Central rising senior
Breelee Arms got noticed for
her volleyball skills at a recent
region tournament in Atlanta
and was invited to a special tryout in Memphis, where she was
chosen to be a part of the
Under Armour National 18under Team this winter.
“This is a big opportunity for
me,” she related. “I’m proud of
pushing myself to get to this
point. It taught me to never give
up, even when you’ve been told
you can’t play.”
Having picked up volleyball
in middle school as a way to
continue to play sports, Arms
found that she really liked the
game and the competition it
provided.
“I played soccer and was a
cheerleader, but when I got to
middle school I was told I
couldn’t do both, so I chose volleyball instead of soccer, since
it wouldn’t interfere with cheerleading,” she explained. “The
more I got into it (volleyball),
the more I liked it.”
After three seasons on the
middle school level, Arms
moved up to high school ball,
but at the end of her freshman
season was reportedly told
she’d “never be more than a JV
(junior varsity) player.” After
receiving the discouraging assesment, she switched schools
in hopes of a fresh start.
“Everybody at Bradley welcomed me and made me feel at
home,” commented Arms, who
is also a varsity basketball
cheerleader.
“Brooke
(Copeland, a two-time all-state
volleyball and basketball player
and current University of
Florida hoop standout) and
Rebecca Reuter (an all-state
basketball performer and
standout volleyball player who
is now on the hoop court for
Middle
Tennessee
State)
became two of my best friends.
All the players and coaches
encouraged me and helped me
Breelee Arms
to improve my game.”
“Breelee works extremely
hard and is always pushing
herself to do better,” stated
Bearette head coach Christie
McElhaney. “She loves the
game of volleyball. She’s a very
vocal leader and is her own
worst critic.”
By the time the 2013 season
opened, Arms had earned her
way into the Bradley varsity
rotation as the team’s libero.
She opened her sophomore
season with five digs against Polk
County on a Monday and then
turned right around the next
night for 13 digs and a trio of “fire
in the hole” service aces against
2012 TSSAA state tournament
participant East Hamilton.
Along with two solid seasons
as the Bearettes’ defensive specialist, Arms has also been
playing “club ball” for a number
of years.
Playing for former Olympian
Lisa (White) Davis for the
Georgia Adrenaline team out of
Fort Oglethorpe, Arms credits
her coaches for her development as a well-rounded player.
Davis played for legendary
coach Catherine Neely at East
Ridge and at MTSU before making the 1996 USA volleyball
squad for the Summer Olympic
Games in Atlanta.
“Coach McElhaney and
Coach White believed in me,”
Arms thanked. “They gave me a
chance to blossom and continue to grow as a player.”
Playing in the Southern
Region Volleyball Association,
White’s Adrenaline squad has
placed fourth, second, first and
second the last four years at
the SRVA region tournaments.
This year’s championship event
involved more than 70 teams.
The club teams play a 14-tournament season throughout
Tennessee,
Georgia
and
Alabama
from
February
through April.
It was Arms’ play in this
year’s region tournament that
drew the attention of scouts
and earned her the invitation to
Memphis to compete with 26
other players for a spot on the
Under Armour national squad.
She was also one of 80 players from across the country to
participate in a volleyball showcase event at Georgia State
University in early April.
She will travel to Lake Placid,
N.Y., in December for training
and practice before playing in
the national tournament.
“Last year the tournament
was held in Puerto Rico, but we
don’t know yet where this year’s
tournament will be held,” the
daughter of Wendee Gibson and
Gilbert Arms related.
“It’s going to be different
because I’ve never played with
these girls before. It’s not like
playing at Bradley or for the
Adrenaline, where we know
each other and know what to
expect from each other,” she
stated. “Hopefully we’ll be able
to get to know each other in
practice before we go to the
national tournament.”
“This is a great opportunity
for me to be seen by college
coaches,” assessed Arms, who
wants to coach volleyball and
teach someday. “I’ve gotten
interest from Tennessee Tech
and some other schools so far.”
“Right now I’m following a
(Under Armour) workout program to get ready for the high
school season. When school
starts, I have to send my grades
in (to UA) weekly,” she stated.
“With it being my final year, I
am hoping to step up my role as
a leader on the team and help
us have a good season.”

Warriors renewed, Cavaliers
battered, bruised for Game 5
Colorado Rockies photo
FORMER BRADLEY Central and Cleveland State standout Ryan Casteel suffered a tear in his
quadriceps and will be out of the Albuquerque Isotopes lineup for 6 to 8 weeks. It’s the Colorado
Rockies farmhand’s first trip to the disabled list in 5 1/2 years of playing professional baseball.
Casteel faces new challenge
By JOE CANNON
Banner Assistant Sports Editor
A local baseball player has done something
he’d never done in the first 5 1/2 years of his professional career, but he wishes he hadn’t.
After 417 games of Minor League Baseball, plus
a season in the Australian Baseball League and
another in the prestigious Arizona Fall League,
Ryan Casteel has landed on the disabled list.
“You play long enough, it’s bound to happen,”
the Bradley Central and Cleveland State standout
stated in a text interview with the Banner
Saturday.
The Colorado Rockies farmhand has a tear in
his right quadriceps and is expected to be out of
the lineup for 6-8 weeks. The “quads” are the
large muscle in the front of the thigh which is
divided into four distinct portions and acts to
extend the leg.
“I’m doing some plasma injections now and
resting it,” Casteel related. “I will start baseball
activities again in three weeks.”
The 6-foot, 205-pound catcher/designated hitter last played on May 31, injuring his leg while
running the bases.
His .354 batting average still leads the Triple-A
Albuquerque squad.
He has 35 hits in 99 at bats so far this season,
including seven doubles, a triple and a pair of
home runs for a .505 slugging percentage and
.868 OPS.
Casteel has driven in 19 runs and scored a
dozen times himself, plus he has two stolen bases
in 26 games for the Isotopes of the Pacific Coast
League.
With his return to the lineup expected in July,
local fans wanting to see him play can still make
plans for Albuquerque’s August trip to
Tennessee.
The closest Casteel will come to home this season is a four-game visit to Nashville, Aug. 19-22.
The Isotopes will be in Memphis the previous four
days (Aug. 15-18).
CLEVELAND (AP) — Weaving
his way toward Golden State’s
locker room, where the Warriors
were packing for home, Stephen
Curry had to handle one last
double-team.
Two Cavaliers fans wanted a
photo with him.
“Gotta be quick,” Curry said,
pausing and smiling for the
group selfie.
Curry was happy to please,
and happier the NBA Finals were
tied again.
With Curry’s shooting touch
back to normal, Andre Iguodala
playing like a younger version of
himself, and coach Steve Kerr’s
gamble to tweak his starting
lineup — even if he had to lie
about it — the Warriors knotted
these
entertaining
finals
Thursday night with a 103-82
win over the gassed Cavaliers,
who are desperate for rest and
help for LeBron James.
Facing the prospect of falling
behind 3-1, the Warriors came
out to play. They were energized
from the start, and they finished
off the understaffed Cavs with a
dominant fourth quarter, a 12minute bombardment of big
shots to seize momentum going
into Sunday’s Game 6 at noisy
Oracle Arena.
These were the Warriors closer
to full volume, 9 out of 10.
“We really picked up our
intensity level,” said forward
Draymond Green, who moved to
center in Kerr’s smaller starting
lineup. “We contested shots. We
got on loose balls, and we
rebounded. We battled.”
Questioned by some critics for
being too laid back, the Warriors
were more physical, more
focused and more urgent than
previously in this series. They
outran the frazzled Cavs, pushing the ball up the floor after
made baskets and imposing
their will for 48 minutes.
Curry was Curry again. After
missing 20 of 26 3-pointers in
the first three games, he

Busch wins in return
to Xfinity Series race
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) —
After a scary crash at Daytona
left him with a broken leg and
foot, Kyle Busch had to focus
on some pretty simple milestones.
“Obviously, the first step was
just being able to stand up,” he
said. “Next step was being able
to walk.”
Now Busch can check off
some more advanced accomplishments in his recovery.
Busch returned to NASCAR’s
Xfinity Series on Saturday for
the first time since his accident
— and he did so with a flourish
— winning at Michigan
International Speedway.
He resumed his Sprint Cup
schedule last month, but the
race at MIS was his first in
NASCAR’s second-tier series
since breaking his right leg and
left foot in February.
“It’s an emotional day and
any win is,” he said. “You never
know when it’s your last, obviously that’s for sure after
Daytona and what happened.”
It was Busch’s record 71st
career victory on this circuit.
He won the 250-mile, 125-lap
race in his No. 54 Toyota by
0.477 seconds over Chase
Elliott.
Pole winner Joey Logano and
Kevin Harvick were battling for
the lead on lap 117 when
Harvick
brushed
against
Logano’s No. 22 Ford, sending
them both sliding to the outside. That gave Elliott and
Busch a chance to take over the
top two spots, and Busch
passed Elliott five laps later.
“It was going to be hard to
pass that 22 car, and fortunately Harvick took care of that for
me,” Busch said. “They got
together a little bit. This place
was so fast today and such
hard racing was going on. I
hope it was a good show for the
fans because I enjoyed it.”
There were eight cautions for
26 laps, as well as a red flag
with 13 laps remaining. That
stoppage came after Paul
Menard hit the wall and went
spinning back down the track,
forcing some other cars to the
grass. With chunks of grass
and mud all over the place, the
race was halted for a few minutes.
Logano was leading, but it
wasn’t long after the final
restart that Harvick took both
of them out of contention.
“We were racing for a win
here and it just seems like he
drove in there pretty hard trying to slide me. I drove up in
there too and he got loose
underneath me and got into my
left rear and up we both went
into the racetrack,” Logano
said. “I was racing hard and he
just drove over his head a little
bit.”
Logano won his 29th Xfinity
pole and led 54 laps, but he
had to settle for a seventh-place
finish. Harvick finished sixth.
“Obviously, the 22 would
have been really hard to beat
today, I think,” Elliott said.
“Kevin got into him on accident,
and moved him up the racetrack, and obviously that
opened up our opportunity to
have a shot at the win. Even
though we had a shot, it wasn’t
as gratifying as it would have
been to pass those guys for real
and get out front the correct
way.”
Kyle Larson finished third,
and standings leader Chris
Buescher was fourth, extending
his lead to 25 points over Ty
Dillon.
Busch won in only his second
race under crew chief Chris
Gayle — the first was at
Daytona.
“It definitely was a challenging season,” Gayle said. “We
start off with expectations of
having Kyle in the whole time,
except for the non-companions,
and really kind of picking up
where the 54 left off the last
couple years. And then obviously, when he gets hurt, you
go through the different rotation of drivers, and not exactly
knowing who you’re going to
have week to week.”

CARL EDWARDS sits in his car before practicing for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan
International Speedway, Friday in Brooklyn, Mich.
Edwards returns to Michigan,
but not for Roush Fenway Racing
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Carl Edwards
acknowledges this trip to Michigan feels a bit
different to him.
“It is a little strange to come here to this race
and not be driving for Jack Roush, because we
put so much emphasis on this event for so many
years,” he said. “To win this race would be really
special for me now just because I know from the
other side how much everyone prepares — Jack
and the other teams — because for the domestic
car manufacturers, this is their backyard.”
Edwards drives a Toyota now for Joe Gibbs
Racing after more than a decade with Roush
Fenway, so perhaps that makes him a bit of an
outsider for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race
at Michigan International Speedway. Toyota
hasn’t won a Cup race at MIS since 2011, with
Chevrolet and Ford winning three each since
then.
Edwards has won twice at this track, but not
since 2008. He was out of the top 20 in his two
attempts last year for Roush Fenway and Ford.
“For me to win in a Toyota would be really
special here,” Edwards said.
Edwards is 16th in the points standings this
year, but he already has a victory, so he’s in
good shape to reach the Chase for the Sprint
Cup. His old team has been struggling. Greg
Biffle is in 18th place, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is
28th and Trevor Bayne is 30th. None of those
three Roush drivers has won a race.
“You take that whole group at Roush Fenway
Racing, they don’t quit,” Edwards said. “They’re
the toughest guys in the world. They will keep
working and I don’t ever — I always expect them
each week to come back and be faster and
faster. They’re great competitors.”
Edwards is starting in the second row for

Friday and was followed in qualifying by Kevin

Harvick and Brad Keselowski.
Here are a few more things to watch in
Sunday’s 400-mile, 200-lap race:
HAPPY MEMORIES: Michigan has always
been a special track for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who
won at MIS in 2008 and 2012, snapping long
losing streaks both times.
Earnhardt will start in position No. 14 on
Sunday after a so-so qualifying effort.
“I think we will race good. This place is a lot
of fun, wide racetrack,” he said. “We will have a
good, competitive car. We haven’t qualified well
all year. I don’t get too worried about it when we
don’t do well there.”
HIGH SPEEDS: Michigan is home to some of
the highest speeds in NASCAR. Jeff Gordon won
the pole last August at a track-record 206.558
mph. Kahne’s speed of 201.992 on Friday was
well short of that, but the track’s reputation
remains the same.
“All of us love going fast, that’s why we started racing,” Edwards said. “When you don’t slow
down for the corners, there’s really not a lot of
opportunity to get an advantage on someone. It
really doesn’t matter to any of us if we’re going
200 mph down the straightaway as long as we
have to get in that corner and slide the car and
brake and use our skill set to get through the
corner. Those are the kind of things that
NASCAR and everybody is working on.”
FOLLOWING UP: Martin Truex Jr. will try for
a second straight victory after winning at
Pocono last weekend.
Truex is second in the standings, 39 points
behind Harvick, impressive heights for his
Furniture Row Racing team.
“Certainly the last four weeks have been
great,” Truex said. “I feel like we have shown

US, Sweden play to scoreless group-stage draw
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) —
Meghan Klingenberg — not Hope
Solo — made the biggest save of
the night for the United States.
Klingenberg, a diminutive
defender, leaped to head a shot
by Sweden’s Caroline Seger. The
ball hit the crossbar and caromed away from the goal.
Goal-line technology was used
to confirm the ball never crossed
the line.
The save in the 77th minute
preserved the 0-0 draw with
Sweden on Friday night in one of
the most anticipated groupstage matches at the Women’s
World Cup.
“Brilliant,” U.S. coach Jill
Ellis said of Klingenberg’s heroics. “Believe it or not, we actually practice that.”
The match had been hyped
beforehand as the showdown
between the second-ranked
US-Sweden sets
viewership record
NEW YORK (AP) — The
United States’ scoreless draw
with Sweden has drawn the
biggest television audience
for a Women’s World Cup
group stage match and the
fourth-largest for any game in
the tournament.
The 0-0 tie Friday night
averaged 4.5 million viewers
on Fox. The Americans’ opener had set the previous high
Monday with 3.3 million
viewers on Fox Sports 1.
Fox said Saturday that the
only previous Women’s World
Cup matches to draw larger
audiences were the 1999 and
2011 finals, and a 1999 semifinal.
The viewership was more
than double the 1.9 million
for the second U.S. game in
2011, which started just
before noon in the Eastern
time zone on a Saturday with
the tournament in Germany.
Friday’s match in Winnipeg
was in prime time.
United States and former coach
Pia Sundhage, now coach of No.
5 Sweden. It did not disappoint
in the furious second half.
Abby Wambach came off the
bench, but her header in the
72nd minute was popped up
and over the crossbar by
Swedish goalkeeper Hedvig
Lindahl.
A win would have assured the
United States a spot in the
knockout round as the
Americans seek their third
World Cup title, but first since
1999. The U.S. women advanced
to the final four years ago in
Germany, but lost to Japan on
penalty kicks.
The United States has one
more group stage match, on
Tuesday in Vancouver, British
Columbia, against Nigeria.
Sweden heads to Edmonton,
Alberta, for its final group match
with Australia. The monthlong
tournament, with an expanded
field of 24 teams, is being played
in six Canadian cities.
The U.S. leads the Group D
standings with four points, following a 3-1 victory over No. 10
Australia in the opener. Sweden
was surprised in its opener by
No. 33 Nigeria, which erased a
2-0 halftime deficit for a 3-all
tie.
Earlier Friday the Matildas
defeated Nigeria 2-0.
Ellis tinkered with her lineup
for the match against Sweden,
starting 22-year old Morgan
Brian while Wambach was on
the bench.
Wambach did give the U.S. a
spark after entering in the 68th
minute, but couldn’t get past
Lindahl, who was named player
of the match.
Klingenberg, who is just 5foot-2, saved Seger’s shot while
Solo was on the other side of the
goal.
“That was something we practiced this week,” Klingenberg
said. “I know that when Hope
slides across, I need to tuck in
and make sure I’m in position.
Luckily I did and I was able to
make the play when I needed

Klingenberg, who played for a
Swedish club team and is
friends with many of the players
she faced in the game,
exchanged jerseys with Seger
following the match.
“She said, ‘Are you serious?’”
Klingenberg laughed.
Lindahl watched the key play
unfold from the other end.
“I did think: goal-line technology, c’mon!” she said. “But it
wasn’t close, actually.”
Lindahl came up with her first
big save of the match when she
leaped to pop Carli Lloyd’s shot
up and over the bar early in the
second half.
Solo leaped to stop Therese
Sjogran’s hard shot from far out
in the 54th minute but it sailed
over her fingertips and over the
bar.
Solo started in goal for the
United States as off-field incidents continue to haunt her.
The United States opened played
the day after an ESPN report
revealed new details about her
arrest last June in Washington
state on domestic violence
charges. The charges were dismissed earlier this year.
Sundhage was head coach of
the United States for five years,
guiding the team to two Olympic
gold medals and the World Cup
final in Germany. It was the first
time the Americans had
advanced to the final since winning it all in 1999.
Sundhage left after the 2012
London Olympics and returned
home to coach her native
Sweden’s national team.
Adding to the buildup for the
match, one of the most anticipated of the group stage, was a
story about Sundhage earlier in
the week in The New York
Times. In it, Sundhage was
quoted as saying that Lloyd was
a challenge to coach and she
suggested she wouldn’t start
Wambach at this point in the
popular veteran’s career. She
said Solo was one of the most
challenging players she had
coached, “especially when it
comes to trouble.”
She talked about those statements before the match, saying
the interview occurred back in
April and she certainly was not
trying to taunt the U.S. team.
The World Cup is being played
as FIFA deals with an ongoing
corruption scandal sparked by
the U.S. Department of Justice
indictment of 14 people with
racketeering, wire fraud, money
laundering and other offenses.
Swiss prosecutors are leading a
separate probe into the 2018 and
2022 World Cup bidding contests.

Maybin delivers as Braves beat Mets in 11
NEW YORK (AP) — Cameron
Maybin had a two-run single in
the 11th inning, and the Atlanta
Braves’ beleaguered bullpen
shut down the Mets over the
final four-plus innings in a
come-from-behind, 5-3 victory
over New York on Saturday.
Maybin came up with runners
on second and third and one
out, and sent a liner off Carlos
Torres (2-3) into left-center for
the two-run lead.
Facing a Mets bullpen without closer Jeurys Familia,
whose son was born while he
was finishing off Friday night’s
win, the Braves rallied for two in
the ninth to end a five-game
skid against New York.
Andrelton Simmons had four
hits for the Braves, who won for
just the fourth time in 11
games.
With 37,794 enthusiastic fans
standing and cheering, Freddie
Freeman tied it 3-all with a liner
past diving shortstop Wilmer
Flores — three pitches after it
appeared Alex Torres had strike
three but the 1-2 pitch was
called a ball. Maybin singled in
a run off Hansel Robles before
Freeman stepped to the plate.
Freeman gave Atlanta the
early lead with a mammoth
homer off Jacob deGrom in the
first.
The Braves had already blown
five saves in June, but Atlanta
used six relievers to retire 14 of
the final 16 batters.
Jason Grilli pitched one
inning for the win (2-2).
Williams Perez, who made
four starts, gave up two singles
to open the 11th before getting
pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr.
to line into a double play to
shortstop. He then finished for
his first career save.
The Mets used several defensive gems and took advantage of
an error by center fielder
Maybin in the seventh inning to
open a 3-1 lead against Shelby
Miller.
New York had runners on
base in every inning but the
fourth against the Braves’ 24year-old ace. Miller, though,
worked out of every jam until
the seventh, when Travis
d’Arnaud blooped a single to
center.
Pinch-hitter
Juan
Lagares, who singled to start
the rally and advanced to third
on Curtis Granderson’s double,
scored to make it 1-all.
Granderson scored when
Maybin bobbled the ball in center field for an error. Dana
Eveland replaced Miller and
Lucas Duda then doubled.
In 6 1/3 innings, Miller
allowed a season-high eight hits
and three runs, which boosted
his ERA from 1.84 to 2.02.
DeGrom pitched seven dominant innings, striking out nine.

called Shea Bridge.
He also knocked down
Maybin’s sharp comebacker in
the third and threw home to
nail Simmons trying to score,
keeping it 1-0.
Flores made a nifty stop, spin
and throw to end the seventh
with a runner on third. And
Darrell Ceciliani, having just
moved from center field to left,
threw out Maybin trying to tag
up on Freeman’s sacrifice fly in
the eighth with a perfect throw.
After third baseman Danny
Muno made his third error, with
two outs in the eighth, Bobby
Parnell made his first relief
appearance in over a year
because of Tommy John surgery
and gave up a single. He then
got A.J. Pierzynski to ground to
second base to maintain a 3-1
lead.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves:
Manager
Fredi
Gonzalez said INF Phil Gosselin
(broken left thumb) is still in a
cast. He had surgery three
weeks ago and hoped for a
return in eight weeks.
Mets: Lagares was out of the
starting lineup for just the second time this season, a planned
rest day. ... 2B Daniel Murphy
(left quad strain) had six at-bats
in an extended spring game. He
did not run the bases, though.
He’s eligible to return from the
DL in a week.
UP NEXT
Braves:
RHP
Mike
Foltynewicz was roughed up in
his last start, allowing five runs
and 12 hits against the Padres.
He’ll be making his ninth career
start and first against the Mets.
Mets: Dillon Gee will make a
spot start as part of New York’s
effort to manage its young
starters’ innings this season.
Recently demoted to the
bullpen, the right-hander’s outing will give an extra day of rest
to Matt Harvey, deGrom and
Noah Syndergaard. Gee is 6-5
with a 3.09 ERA in 16 starts
against the Braves.
FRIDAY’S GAME
Bartolo Colon moved into a tie
for the major league lead with
his ninth win, Wilmer Flores
and John Mayberry Jr. homered, and the New York Mets held
on to beat the Atlanta Braves 53 on Friday night.
The 42-year-old Colon (9-4)
gave up two runs and six hits in
six effective innings as he
matched
Seattle’s
Felix
Hernandez, who was roughed
up at Houston, and Pittsburgh’s
Gerrit Cole for most victories in
baseball.
Jeurys Familia, whose availability for the game was uncertain because he was awaiting
the birth of his child, loaded the
bases with one out in the ninth
before getting Nick Markakis to
ground into a double play for
his 18th save.
Michael Cuddyer followed up
his game-winning hit Thursday
against San Francisco with an
RBI double in the seventh as
New York beat Atlanta for a fifth
straight time after losing the
first two games between the
teams this year.
Cole first pitcher to 10 wins as Pirates top Phillies
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gerrit
Cole allowed two runs in six
innings to become the first pitcher in the majors to 10 victories
this season as the Pittsburgh
Pirates edged the Philadelphia
Phillies 4-3 on Saturday.
Cole (10-2) struck out seven
without a walk to trim his ERA to
a major-league best 1.71 while
winning his fifth consecutive
start. The 24-year-old is now 142 in 18 starts dating to last
September.
Starling Marte had three hits
and an RBI for Pittsburgh.
Gregory Polanco added two hits
and Andrew McCutchen drove in
two runs as Pittsburgh handed
the Phillies their ninth straight
road loss. Mark Melancon
worked a perfect ninth for his
20th save.
Sean O’Sullivan (1-5) muddled
through six innings, walking four
with just one strikeout.
Ben Revere got three hits for
the Phillies and Maikel Franco
and Freddy Galvis each had two.
Philadelphia went 1 for 13 with
runners in scoring position and
has dropped eight of nine overall.
Cole’s ascension from the top
overall pick in 2011 to budding
All-Star is picking up speed. He
wasn’t dominant against the
Phillies, who nicked him for an
unearned run in the first and an
earned in the fourth but settled
down to retire the final nine batters he faced before exiting with a
4-2 lead.
The Phillies wasted a chance to
tie the game in the eighth off
Tony Watson. Revere led off with
a double and scored on a pinchhit single by Jeff Francoeur to
pull Philadelphia within one. The
Phillies then loaded the bases
with no outs, only to come up
with nothing. Franco and Cody
Asche hit into force plays at home
and Galvis ended the threat with
a routine grounder to second
base.
Philadelphia actually hit Cole
harder than the Pirates hit
O’Sullivan, but Pittsburgh took
advantage of the few opportunities it was given. The Pirates
scored a pair of runs in the first
when the Phillies twice unsuccessfully tried to throw out the
lead runner on a fielder’s choice.
They added two more in the second on a single, a walk and two
infield hits by Marte and
McCutchen.
Staked to a 4-1 lead, Cole dug
in. Franco doubled leading off the
fourth and scored on a groundout by Galvis in the fourth but
Cole would not allow another

MARLINS 4, ROCKIES 1
MIAMI (AP) — Mat Latos struck
out a season-high 11 over seven
innings, Giancarlo Stanton
homered and drove in four runs,
and the Miami Marlins beat the
Colorado Rockies 4-1 on
Saturday.
Latos (2-4), making his first
start since May 21 while being
sidelined with left knee inflammation, earned his first victory
since May 5 at Washington. He
allowed one run and four hits.
Stanton had a two-run double
in the first and a two-run home
run, his 23rd, in the sixth to give
him 12 RBIs in the last six
games.
The Marlins only needed four
hits and struck out a total of 15
Rockies to win their third straight
in the series.
A.J. Ramos pitched a perfect
ninth for his eighth save in 11
chances.
David Hale (2-1) allowed four
runs in six innings for the
Rockies, who have lost four
straight.
NATS 7, BREWERS 2
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Yunel
Escobar and Wilson Ramos hit
two-run homers and Bryce
Harper continued his offensive
surge by driving in two runs as
the Washington Nationals beat
the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 on
Saturday.
It was the just the type of performance
the
struggling
Nationals needed from its 3-4-5
hitters after coming in losers of
11 of 14. While Harper has been
hot all season, Escobar and
Ramos both slumped recently at
the plate.
Against the Brewers, the three
looked fearsome, going 7 of 13
with six RBIs and chasing starter
Jimmy Nelson (3-7) in the sixth.
Escobar’s
homer
put
Washington ahead for good 3-2 in
the third and Ramos’ shot
extended the lead to 5-2 in the
fifth. Harper finished 3 for 3, but
was hit by a pitch in the ninth
and left the game. With RBIs in
the first and sixth innings, he has
51 for the season.
CARDS 3, ROYALS 2
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Call-up Tyler
Lyons had a solid outing and
Mark Reynolds hit the go-ahead
homer in the fifth inning for the
St. Louis Cardinals, who beat the
Kansas City Royals for the second straight day, 3-2 on
Saturday.
Alex Gordon and Salvador
Perez homered for the Royals,
who took two of three from the
Cardinals at home last month
and will be trying to avoid a
sweep in the finale.
Matt Carpenter and Jason
Heyward each added an RBI for
St. Louis, which is a major
league-best 41-21 overall and 247 at home. The Cardinals used
five relievers over the last four
innings to hold a one-run lead
with Trevor Rosenthal getting the
last four outs for his league-leading 21st save in 22 chances.
The Royals’ eighth did not lack
for dramatics. Heyward battled

Morales’ liner while falling on his
Top prospect Buxton set to join Twins today
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Byron Buxton,
considered by many the top prospect in the
minors, is being promoted from Double-A to
make his major league debut in the Minnesota
Twins’ depleted outfield.
The Twins announced Saturday their plan
to select his contract from Chattanooga. The
21-year-old Buxton will be in uniform Sunday
for the finale of a three-game series in Texas.
Minnesota outfielder Torii Hunter is serving
a two-game suspension for his uniform-tossing tirade at the umpire and Aaron Hicks was
scratched for his spot in center Saturday
because of an elbow problem. The Twins have
lost five in a row and recently fell out of their
surprising spot atop the AL Central.
Buxton was the second overall pick in the
2012 amateur draft. He was chosen right
behind shortstop Carlos Correa, who made
his major league debut for Houston on
Monday.
In 59 games for Chattanooga this season,
Buxton hit .283 with 12 triples, and scored a
Southern League-high 44 runs. He also had
37 RBIs, 20 stolen bases and six home runs.
Buxton kept up his rapid ascent to the
majors in the last year despite a variety of
injuries, having sustained a concussion, a
wrist problem and a dislocated finger.
Buxton played Friday night at Birmingham
and was out of the lineup Saturday. He went
2 for 4 in that last game in Double-A and,
showing an aggressive running style, was
thrown out on the bases for the second
straight day.
Drafted from high school in Georgia,
Buxton has been on a fast track to the big
leagues. With two-tone hair, he already has
star power — on Friday night, he tapped both
the both Barons catcher and plate umpire on
the shin guards when he walked into the batter’s box to lead off the game, then easily beat
a chopper to shortstop.
The Twins will make a corresponding move
before Sunday’s game.

BLUE JAYS 5
RED SOX 4 (11)
BOSTON (AP) — Russell Martin
delivered the go-ahead hit for the
second straight day, a leadoff
home run in the 11th inning
Saturday that sent the Toronto
Blue Jays to their 10th straight
win, 5-4 over the Boston Red Sox.
The winning streak is
Toronto’s longest since it took 11
in a row in June 2013.
Boston, in last place in the AL
East, lost its fifth straight game
and fell a season-worst nine
games under .500 at 27-36.
On Friday night, Martin hit a
tiebreaking, bases-loaded triple
during a nine-run burst in the
seventh for a 13-10 victory. On
Saturday, he drove a 2-0 pitch
from Matt Barnes (2-2) deep into
the left-center field stands for his
10th homer of the season.
Brett Cecil pitched a perfect
11th for his fourth save, and second in two days, to preserve the
win for Aaron Loup (2-3).
INDIANS 5, TIGERS 4
DETROIT (AP) — Carlos
Santana homered and Carlos
Carrasco shook off a bad history
in Detroit to lift the Cleveland
Indians to a 5-4 victory over the
Tigers on Saturday.
Carrasco (8-5), who started the
game 1-4 with a 9.45 ERA in six
outings at Comerica Park, struck
out eight and allowed three runs
and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings
to help disappoint a sellout crowd
that turned out for Detroit starter
Justin Verlander’s season debut.
The former MVP and Cy Young
award winner, who had been on
the disabled list with a right triceps strain since the start of the
season, left with a 3-2 lead after
pitching five innings but reliever
Blaine Hardy (2-1) was tagged for

weeks,” coach Brian O’Connor
said. “Connor Jones certainly
didn’t have his best stuff, but he
grinded. Our plan coming into
this World Series was to be very
aggressive and take the fight to
the other team, and we did that
from an offensive standpoint.”
Josh Sborz (5-2), who started
two CWS games last year and is
now the Cavaliers’ closer, struck
out five of 10 batters in three
innings.
Arkansas tied it at 3 in the
fifth on Andrew Benintendi’s
nation-leading 20th home run.
That was the second homer of
the game at TD Ameritrade Park,
which surrendered only three
each of the past two years in the
CWS. Virginia’s Joe McCarthy
had opened the scoring with a
drive into the right-field seats in
the second.
The Hogs got a strong outing
from Trey Killian (3-5), a ninthround draft pick of the Colorado
Rockies who left with one out in
the eighth after Pinero singled
for his third hit. Zack Jackson
came on, and Pinero stole second and third on back-to-back
pitches.
Towns, a 20th-round pick by
the Los Angeles Angels, fell
behind 1-2 against Jackson, but
worked the count full before
driving the ball into right field to
score Pinero.
“Having Kenny out there in a
tight ballgame, end of a game, I
have total confidence in him getting the big hit,” Pinero said. “I
knew he would get the big hit
and he did.”
Pinero, who arrived in Omaha
with six steals for the season,

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —
Virginia’s Kenny Towns thrives
on the pressure this time of
year. So he was right where he
wanted to be in a tie game late
in the opener of the College
World Series.
Towns delivered a tiebreaking
eighth-inning double after
Daniel Pinero stole second and
third base, and the Cavaliers
defeated Arkansas 5-3 on
Saturday.
“I feel comfortable in the postseason with games on the line.
The past couple years I’ve been
here and I’ve gotten used to it,”
said Towns, whose 22 RBIs in
26 career NCAA tournament
games are a school record. “You
want to rise up for your team
and give them a better chance to
win. I’ve been able to get the
opportunity and succeed sometimes.”
The Cavaliers (40-22), the
2014 national runners-up,
advanced to a Monday game
against the winner of a late
Bracket 1 game between Miami
and Florida. The Razorbacks
(40-24) will meet the MiamiFlorida loser on Monday.
Virginia took a gutsy offensive
approach, matching its career
high with five stolen bases on
eight attempts, and Connor
Jones turned in a solid sixinning start despite struggling
with his command.
The Cavaliers, a No. 3 regional
seed and the lowest to make it to
Omaha, have won all six of their
games in the national tournament. They’ve scored 27 of their
37 tournament runs in the sixth
inning or later.
“That ballgame is kind of how

Rested McIlroy readies for US Open
KOHLER, Wis. (AP) — Rory
McIlroy needed a break after
missing the cut two straight
weeks.
Returning to the site of what
McIlroy considers one of his
breakthrough tournaments — the
2010 PGA Championship at
Whistling Straits — might give the
world’s top-ranked golfer an extra
confidence boost going into this
week’s U.S. Open at Chambers
Bay in Washington.
Not that McIlroy seems too
worried about his game.
“Personally, I didn’t really look
much into what happened those
last two events,” McIlroy said
Friday at media day for this year’s
PGA Championship, which
returns to Whistling Straits in
August. “Just concentrating what
I really need to do well leading
into next week.”
McIlroy had a tough two weeks
in Europe in late May. He missed
the cut at the BMW PGA
Championship in England three
weekends ago.
Born in Northern Ireland,
McIlroy missed the cut again at
the Irish Open the following week
— a tournament he was hosting,
no less, in familiar surroundings.
It was a disappointing end to a
stretch of five straights weeks on
the course.
“I think I can put the last two
tournaments on a little bit of
fatigue,” he said.
So McIlroy took last week off,
electing to sit out The Memorial to
get some rest at home in Florida.
“I didn’t touch a golf club last
week. I played five weeks in a row.
Mentally, I was ready to have a lit-
tle bit of a break. Just got away
from it,” McIlroy said.
Consider Friday’s gathering at
Whistling Straits, a scenic public
course along Lake Michigan, an
unofficial pep rally for McIlroy.
Televisions inside the course’s
Irish Barn showed a highlight
video of McIlroy’s win at the 2014
PGA at Valhalla, his fourth victory
at a major. The golfer received
honorary jerseys from the Green
Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers
basketball team and the NBA’s
Milwaukee Bucks — the last one
presented to McIlroy by Bucks
coach and avid golfer Jason Kidd.
McIlroy can draw on fond memories from the last time the PGA
Championship was at Whistling
Straights five years ago, when
Martin Kaymer won after beating
Bubba Watson in a playoff.

IN THIS May 28, 2015, file photo, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy looks dejected after missing a putt
on the ninth hole during the first round of the Irish Open Golf Championship at Royal County Down,
Newcastle, Northern Ireland. Returning to the site of what McIlroy considers one of his breakthrough
tournaments, the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, might give the world’s top-ranked golfer
an extra confidence boost going into next week’s U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in Washington.
McIlroy finished tied for third at
10-under, one shot off the lead at
the end of regulation.
“It was my first real chance in
contention in a major, especially
going into Sunday,” McIlroy said.
It was experience in a pressure
situation from which McIlroy
could draw when he won his first
major the next year, the 2011
U.S. Open at Congressional.
Compared to Congressional,
Chambers Bay is a mystery. Just
10 years ago, Chambers Bay was
still being built along Puget
Sound south of Seattle.
McIlroy will play the course for
the first time on Saturday in a
practice round.
“It’s a bit of an unknown for
everyone, Chambers Bay,” he
said. “From what I’ve heard, it’s
going to be sort of different.”
The organizers there can only
hope their tournament can be
just as exciting as the last two
PGA Championships at Whistling
Straits. Besides 2010, the 2004
PGA at the course also ended in a
three-hole playoff, with Vijay
Singh defeating Justin Leonard
and Chris DiMarco.
“Whether we play it in daylight
or night time, they always provide
dramatic finishes,” said Derek
Sprague, president of the PGA of
America.
Sitting next to him, McIlroy
nodded his head in approval.
“What I love about the PGA
Championship and what I hear
from the players is that it’s a great
test of golf, firm bur fair. It’s right
in front of you,” Sprague said.
Note: David Kohler, general
chair of the 2015 PGA
Championship, said that this
year’s tournament is already second in PGA Championship history in combined ticket and corporate hospitality sales revenue.
Only the 2004 championship had
more combined revenue. Kohler is
president and CEO of the
Sheboygan-based manufacturing
company that bears the family
name, best known for plumbing
products.
Chambers Bay ready to show off unique layout
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash.
(AP) — For the students at the
nearby high school, it was simply
known as the “Sand Pit,” the
landmark two miles down the
road where they would run as
part of gym class.
For the passengers on the
train between Seattle and
Portland, Oregon, it was a
moment to look out the other
windows of the train car and take
in the waters of Puget Sound.
Looking the opposite direction
meant staring into the teeth of
the ugly old gravel and sand
quarry hugging the shoreline.
A decade ago, that was the
property now known as
Chambers Bay. It was sand, and
gravel and old concrete pilings.
An eyesore. That’s when the
metamorphosis began, and it
transformed from a sandy blemish into a swath of greenery cut
through man-made mounds and
dunes unique to American golf
and, specifically, the Pacific
Northwest.
Now
the
close-up
for
Chambers Bay has arrived: The
2015 U.S. Open, a rare occasion
where the golf course is getting
more attention than the players.
“It will be everything I know
about the game being realized,”
course designer Robert Trent
Jones Jr. said. “These were
dreams and very, very hard work
to craft the great green stage
upon which the dream will be
fulfilled. That’s the reality. It’s no
longer a dream.”
Chambers Bay is a reclamation project for the land on which
it sits and for golf in the Pacific
Northwest, a segment of the
United States that is infrequently
visited by championship golf.

THE 10TH hole of the Chambers Bay golf course is shown at sunset in University Place, Wash. This

up the road about an hour to
Sahalee Country Club, the host
of the 1998 PGA Championship.
This is the antithesis of the
stereotype for a golf course in
this corner of the country.
Chambers Bay was built as
the opposite of traditional, from
the way it was constructed, to
the funding behind the project,
to the type of grass used on every
fairway and green. The course
was a risk of political and financial capital. It’s about to have its
biggest payoff, with a worldwide
audience tuning in to see the fescue grass fairways and greens,
the undulating, rolling putting
surfaces and the brown-hued
sand dunes all with the backdrop of Puget Sound water, the
Olympic Mountains and bald
eagles flying overhead.

Barracudas bite Waterdogs
From Staff Reports
CALHOUN, Ga. — The
Waterdogs were unable to snag a
win over the Calhoun Blue
Barracudas Thursday evening.
The Blue Barracudas came
away with a 435-355 win over
the Waterdogs, who are no 0-2 in
the Chattanooga Area Swim
League (CASL) Red Division.
The Waterdogs had 13 different high point swimmers in the
meet.
Kailey Ruckman led the way
with 19 points.
Davina Sharma, Julie Bryant
and Jae Dauphinas each had 17
points, while Elizabeth Andrews
had 14.
Anna Garner, Caiden Cross
and Noah Torchick all finished
with 13 points and Tanya
Sharma had 12 points.
Christian Fetzner Isaiah Gill
and Brendan Ruckman chipped
in 11 points, while Kalei Baine
finished the meet out with 10
points.
The Waterdogs will take on
their cross-town rival Cleveland
Aqua Tigers (2-0) on Monday at
the Tinsley Park pool.
The meet between the Aqua
Tigers and the Waterdogs will
begin at 6 p.m. and the two
teams will be joining forces to
raise money for the Gillian-Barre
Foundation.
T-shirts will be sold for $10,
there will be a 50/50 raffle, with
half of the proceeds going to the

golf course to host the U.S. Open
since Hazeltine — constructed by
Jones’ father — in 1970.
The creation of Chambers Bay
was championed by then Pierce
County
Executive
John
Ladenburg, who decided the former gravel and sand quarry
should be purchased by the
county and use $21 million for
its construction. From the beginning, Ladenburg demanded a
golf course that was unique. Part
of the reason Jones and his firm
was chosen was their ambition,
including the tag “Chambers
Creek, home of the 2030 U.S.
Open,” in their presentations to
the county.
Thanks to Winged Foot withdrawing its bid to host the 2015
Open, that audacious goal was
off by 15 years.
The golf course was built
hand-in-hand with input from
the USGA, which had on-site
influence throughout construction. Put a path there for spectator movement. Flatten the tops of
the dunes so tents and grandstands may be easily erected.
Keep the concrete pilings along
the 18th — someday they might
be perfect for corporate suites.
The U.S. Open was always the
goal. Even what seemed like
minor decisions proved vital in
having a winning bid. When
more money could have been put
into providing a clubhouse with
grandeur overlooking the 930
acres of the golf course and
neighboring public spaces, as an
example, Ladenburg and county
staff insisted the funds be used
for features that mattered to
course.
“Every time (Ladenburg) was
given a choice between that and
a better commercial result,
meaning money, he made the
right decision,” Jones said.
Among the unique aspects of
Chambers Bay is the lack of the
trouble found on other American
courses. There are no vertical
hazards on the golf course, or
trouble with water. The one tree,
Lone Fir, sits stoically next to the
16th tee. Jones and his group
put the defense of the course in
the sandy waste areas and
mounded, rolling green complexes that will likely cause grumbles.
“Right away it looks benign. It
seems benign. So what we did is
invest the defense of the course
in and around the green complexes. That’s the heart of the
golf course,” Jones said. “The
pulsing blood, flowing place
where half the strokes in the
game, in a par round, are expected to be made on the greens or
on and around the greens.
They’re strongly contoured.
They’re lightning fast. You can’t
even tell where the fairway
begins and the green starts.”
The course has changed
through its brief history. The
2010 U.S. Amateur served as a
laboratory to see how it would
react to tournament conditions.
Teeing grounds were added.
Landing areas were softened.
Greens were reconstructed to
accept shots from longer clubs.
The entire seventh green was
lowered and moved forward after
the amateur to be more forgiving.
Jones and his team even went so
far as to roll basketballs on the
reconstructed green to make
sure good shots were rewarded
and not penalized.
Those changes and the versatility of the course will be on full
display during the championship. Some will still remember
their first impressions of the site

GREG OWEN, of England, chips onto the 16th green during the
third round of the St. Jude Classic Saturday in Memphis. Owen finished the round tied for the lead at 9-under-par 201.
Owen, Gomez fire 67s
to take St. Jude lead
MEMPHIS (AP) — England’s
Greg Owen has never had a
piece of a 54-hole lead on the
PGA Tour. Now he hopes he can
stay relaxed with the great short
game that has him in position to
win his first title in his 214th
tour event.
And winning would mean so
much more than simply having a
title on every tour Owen’s ever
played.
“Just a huge, huge relief that
what you’ve been striving for
your whole life you can say
you’ve achieved,” Owen said
Saturday.
Owen and Fabian Gomez of
Argentina each shot a 3-underpar 67 to share a one-stroke
lead after 54 holes at the St.
Jude Classic, tied at 9-under
201 total.
Swirling wind and tough pins
kept everyone guessing on a hectic day at TPC Southwind, where
as many as six players had a
piece of the lead.
Both Owen and Gomez putted
well on the firm greens despite
hitting only 11 of 18 greens.
Owen needed 26 putts in making four birdies and one bogey,
while Gomez had 24 putts
despite three bogeys. He had six
birdies.
“I’m reading them well, and
my pace is good and I feel good
with the putter,” Owen said. “I’ve
been working hard.”
Gomez credited hitting his
driver well and finding fairways
with leaving him plenty of short
putts.
“I’ve been working since the
beginning of the year,” Gomez
said through a translator. “You
know when you make some
putts, the confidence gets higher
and the game is easier.”
Brooks Koepka had at least a
piece of the lead through the
first two rounds and got to 10
under. He finished with a 71 and
was tied with Scott Brown (68)
for second at 202.
“It was swirling, swirling so
much we couldn’t even figure
out a wind direction,” Koepka
said. “We knew it was coming
from the south. Downwind,
threw grass up, hit you in the
face two seconds later. You never
really knew where the wind
was.”
Matt Jones (68) and Austin
Cook (72) were tied at 204, and
David Toms (69) and Camilo
Villegas (66) were tied with six
others at 205. Phil Mickelson
(69) was in a group tied at 207.
Owen, 43, who lives in
Florida, has struggled this sea-
son, missing five of 12 cuts on
tour. His best career finish is
second at the 2006 Arnold
Palmer Invitational, but his best
result this season is a tie for
22nd last November at the
Sanderson
Farms
Championship. He knows this
might be his best, last chance at
a PGA title.
“I’m in a position where this
year my career is probably on
the down spiral a little bit,”
Owen said. “It’s very upsetting to
say that. There’s a lot of young
kids coming through. You got to
be game. It’s a different game
from when I started.”
His lone bogey came at No. 10,
and Owen, who shared the 18hole lead with Koepka and Ryan
Palmer, moved atop the leaderboard with Gomez when he
birdied the par-3 No. 14 from 11
feet. He also finished with a
birdie on No. 18 after hitting his
approach to 5 feet.
Gomez, 36, is from the same
town in Argentina as Jose
Coceres, whom he counts as a
mentor. He also has played
many rounds with Angel
Cabrera the past few years.
Gomez tied Jordan Spieth for
second at the 2013 Puerto Rico
Open, where he had a piece of
the 54-hole lead.
“Obviously for me to win on
the PGA Tour is like a dream
come true, and tomorrow is
going to be a really exciting day,”
Gomez said. “And you know it’s
a day that you don’t have to
think too much about the situation and try to play the same
way that you played the last few
days.”
Gomez birdied four of five
holes through No. 6 to grab a
piece of the lead at 9 under, and
he stayed atop the leaderboard
for seven holes. He bogeyed No.
11 after hitting into a back
bunker on the par-3 island
green, and bogeyed No. 13. He
birdied Nos. 15 and 16, getting
back to 9 under.
DIVOTS: Seven of the last nine
champions at this event, sponsored by FedEx, have come from
behind to win. ... Cook, a 24year-old Arkansas native playing
just his fourth PGA event, had a
share of the lead at 8 under
through 13 holes. But he hit his
tee shot into the water on the
par-3 14th. ... Steven Alker of
New Zealand also had the lead at
9 under when he eagled the par5 No. 3, holing out from 17 yards
from the rough just off the front
of the green. But he shot a 74
and was at 207.
Junior golfers tackle Bear Trace
From Staff Reports
HARRISON — After two days of

Understanding 13 folds
in our American flag
A
s patriots from corner to
corner of this proudly
diverse land called
America pause today in observance of Flag Day, we thought it
appropriate to share some information that might be only
vaguely familiar to many men
and women of our nation.
Its message is no secret.
Access to it is as simple as logging on to the Internet.
Many veterans, and the widows and widowers of America’s
veterans, probably keep it
framed in prominent locations
on a living room wall.
Truth is, the last time we published this information as an editorial — back on June 14, 2013
— we were surprised at the
number of phone calls and
emails, and comments made in
person, we received afterward
from Cleveland and Bradley
County residents, many of
whom are our newspaper’s
readers and did not know this
story.
For this reason, we will revisit
the story’s telling. We trust it will
be just as beneficial to a new
audience two years later.
We refer to the symbolism
behind the 13 folds of the
American flag. Explanations we
came upon — in the editorial’s
first printing — on an array of
websites commonly preface the
information by posing this question, “Have you ever noticed
how the Honor Guard pays
meticulous attention to correctly
folding the American flag 13
times?
Truly, it comes with purpose.
From this point on, we will quote
from already established narrative, which based on our online
research, is titled, “The Meaning
to the 13 Folds of the American
Flag.”
It reads:
“The 1st fold of our flag is a
symbol of life.
“The 2nd fold is a symbol of
our belief in eternal life.
“The 3rd fold is made in honor
and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who
gave a portion of their lives for
the defense of our country to
attain peace throughout the
world.
“The 4th fold represents our
weaker nature, for as American
citizens trusting in God, it is to
Him we turn in times of peace
as well as in times of war for His
divine guidance.
“The 5th fold is a tribute to our
country, for in the words of
Stephen Decatur, ‘Our Country,
in dealing with other countries,
may she always be right; but it is
still our country, right or wrong.’
“The 6th fold is for where our
hearts lie. It is with our heart that
we ‘... pledge allegiance to the
flag of the United States of
America, and to the republic for
which it stands, one Nation
under God, Indivisible, with
Liberty and Justice for all.’
“The 7th fold is a tribute to our
Armed Forces, for it is through
the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag
against all her enemies,
whether they be found within or
without the boundaries of our
republic.
“The 8th fold is a tribute to the
one who entered into the valley
of the shadow of death, that we
might see the light of day.
“The 9th fold is a tribute to
womanhood, and Mothers. For
it has been through their faith,
their love, loyalty and devotion
that the character of the men
and women who have made
this country great has been
molded.
“The 10th fold is a tribute to
the Father, for he too, has given
his sons and daughters for
defense of our country since
they were first born.
“The 11th fold represents the
lower portion of the seal of King
David and King Solomon and
glorifies in the Hebrews’ eyes,
the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob.
“The 12th fold represents an
emblem of eternity and glorifies,
in the Christians’ eyes, God the
Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.
“The 13th fold, or when the
flag is completely folded, the
stars are uppermost reminding
us of our nation’s motto, ‘In God
We Trust.’
“After the flag is completely
folded and tucked in, it takes on
the appearance of a cocked hat,
ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under Gen.
George Washington, and the
sailors and marines who served
under Capt. John Paul Jones,
who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the
Armed Forces of the United
States, preserving for us the
rights, privileges and freedoms
we enjoy today.”
For those who still fervently
cling to the uncompromised
ideals, and to the original values
of our America — whether they
are written or merely understood — the above passages
carry great meaning and incredible weight in determining our
balance in life.
We agree, without condition,
with this narrative’s final
reminder, “In the future, you’ll
see flags folded and now you
will know why. Share this with
the children you love and all others who love the symbol of
‘Liberty and Freedom.’”
God Bless America.
She is not a perfect country.
But she is our country.
She has stood tall when others have fallen.
She has fought for what is
right when others have cowered.
She has defended the
defenseless when others have
turned away.
She has spoken for those
without a voice when others
have kept their silence.
She has shown without condition why she is the land of the
free and the home of the brave.
She has pursued the cause of
America even as some might
believe America has lost her
cause.
In today’s eyes of some, the
American flag is just a fabric
and her colors denote what is
now a time of the past and a
past long forgotten.
To these naysayers and other
proponents of such belief, we
say this. America is still
America. Yes, sometimes we
are bruised. Yes, sometimes we
bend. Yes, other times we might
stagger. But we never break.
And the colors of our
America, and of our American
people ... remain the icon of
freedom and the symbol of
unending hope.
May the red, white and blue of
America’s rippling flag forever
fly in the face of any who would
oppress and all who would turn
a deaf ear to the precious doctrine of human rights.
We are America. Our flag
defines our people. Our people
defend our flag.

Friends and acquaintances know I spend
considerable time going to yard sales, flea
markets, estate sales, auctions, discount
stores and liquidators. Many have asked
about interesting things I have purchased.
Giving it some thought, I decided this is a
column idea for the uninformed, and maybe
the misinformed.
My yard sale experiences go back decades.
Some of the things I have purchased might be
relatively unknown today.
I’ve also wondered about the history of yard
sales, and how far back they go. You’d be
surprised to find they date to the 18th century.
Americans are particularly fond of these
sales, making them a regular occurrence.
They are also popular in Australia, and are
occasionally spotted around the globe.
History says the origin of the garage sales
is a bit murky in a figurative and literal
sense. According to the website garagesalecow.com, “the roots of the modern garage sale
can be found in the word rummage. ‘Romage’
entered the English language as early as the
16th century. It was a nautical term originally
relating to how cargo was packed in the hold
of a ship.”
Later, in the 18th century, the term would
also refer to an exhaustive search. As the
word continued to evolve, it came to refer to
the great amount of miscellaneous cargo
stashed away in the hold of the ship.
See how we’re progressing to the future?
The first actual rummage sales were probably at the docks. Cargo unclaimed or damaged would be hauled out of the hold and put
up for sale. By the 19th century, this practice
was called a rummage sale, and would also
refer to the sale of damaged or unwanted
goods from warehouses or storehouses as
well.
By the 1890s, the rummage sale was something that would be held at a communal location such as a park or a church, often for a
charitable cause or to raise money for the
church. Many people would donate their
unused items to be sold off, something that is
still common today.
Rummage or garage sales at the home
LOOKING BACK
Larry Bowers

evolved from a tradition that has spanned
back centuries. In almost every corner of the
globe, it has been common practice for people to set out a few items on a table or blanket in front of their homes to be sold or traded.
As the number of homes, and our amount
of (often unnecessary) possessions increased,
the need for modern garage sales was born.
As I tell everyone, I hate to buy items at a
garage sale. I then have to have a garage sale
to get rid of my garage sale items.
After World War II, people across North
America found themselves with a greater
amount of money to buy more and more of
the new consumer goods and gadgets that
were flooding the market throughout the
1950s and into the 1960s.
They were also buying homes complete
with easy to access driveways and garages. In
the 1970s the garage sale became very popular, as these homes became the perfect staging ground for people to sell their unwanted
goods and generate some extra money.
Today garage sales are still a great way to
make extra money, to prepare for a move, or
to cut down clutter.
These sales are generally unregulated, with
only select municipalities requiring those who
wish to hold a sale to obtain a permit. It is
estimated that garage sale sales could
account for $2 billion annually!
Don’t let the authorities know!
Back to my interesting purchases. One
came just a couple weeks ago when I paid out
good money to buy a didgeridoo. The only
reason I purchased it was so I could say I
have one.
You may ask what I have. A didgeridoo is a
wind instrument played by the Aboriginals of
Australia. See there, I knew you would want
one.
The didgeridoo was developed by
Indigenous Australians of northern Australia
within the last 1,500 years and is still in
widespread use today, both in Australia and
around the world. It is sometimes described
as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe."
Musicologists classify it as a brass aerophone.
Now, I have one right here in Cleveland,
thanks to a yard sale.
There are no reliable sources stating the
didgeridoo's exact age. Archaeological studies
of rock art in Northern Australia suggest that
the people of the Kakadu region of the
Northern Territory have been using the
didgeridoo for less than 1,000 years, based
on the dating of paintings on cave walls and
shelters from this period.
A clear rock painting in Ginga
Wardelirrhmeng, on the northern edge of the
Arnhem Land plateau, from the freshwater
period (that was begun 1,500 years ago)
shows a didgeridoo player and two songmen
participating in a ceremony.
A modern didgeridoo is usually cylindrical
or conical, and can measure anywhere from 3
to 4 feet long. Most are around 4 feet long, as
is mind. My didgeridoo came with a wrap, but
I have no idea why.
Wikipedia states that “generally, the longer
the instrument, the lower its pitch or key.
However, flared instruments play a higher
pitch than unflared instruments of the same
length.”
"Didgeridoo" is considered to be an onomatopoetic word of Western invention. The
earliest occurrence of the word in print is a
1919 issue of Smith's Weekly, where it was
referred to as an "infernal didjerry."
Now, I have one of the “infernal didjerry.”
Another unusual item I purchased was a
classic mahogany box I bought at the home of
an early 20th-century physician in
Gatlinburg. There was a neat little instrument
encased in the box. I didn’t know what it was,
but I really liked the case.
I later found out the instrument was a rectal thermometer, taking most of the glamour
from the box.

MAILBOX
Dear Annie: When my brother
“Steve” comes home from college,
he stays up until 3 a.m., sleeps
until 2 in the afternoon, and leaves
his chores and homework until the
very last minute.
I don’t understand why he doesn’t keep a regular sleep schedule or
take care of his homework and
other chores early in the week.
Instead, he dumps his laundry on
the floor and “forgets” about it until
he has no clothes left, something
that stresses him out and makes
him lash out at me. He also complains to me about incidents that
occurred years ago and still make
him angry now.
I’ve tried to talk to my mother
about it, but I end up sounding like
a broken record. Steve manages to
be responsible for himself at his
school, so why doesn’t that responsibility follow him home? — Pulling
My Hair Out
Dear Pulling: Because he
reverts to his less-responsible
childhood when he is home. Part of
moving out of your parents’ house,
whether for college or work, is to
develop the skills necessary to be
independent. This doesn’t happen
overnight. Steve is trying to grow
up, albeit slowly and in spurts, and
needs to do it on his own.
So here’s a life lesson for you:
You are not responsible for Steve’s
bad habits, whether or not he succeeds, or how stressed he becomes.
Do your best to ignore those
things, absent yourself or express
sympathy (nod knowingly and say,
“That’s rough”) while remaining
neutral. If he brings up things from
the past, respond the same way. If

A lady named Miss Jery, a people called Gullah
“I'm grateful to intelligent people. That
doesn't mean educated. That doesn't mean
intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What
black old people used to call 'mother wit'
means intelligence that you had in your
mother's womb. That's what you rely on.
You know what's right to do.”
— Maya Angelou
(b. Marguerite Annie Johnson)
American author and poet
(1928-2014)
———
Sometimes in life you run into somebody you just know you like ... even
when it’s your first meeting and you’ve
barely made it beyond, “Hi, how are
you?”
It happened to me recently while vacationing with my wife in Beaufort, S.C.
The lady’s name is Mrs. Jery Bennett
Taylor. And what a lady she is.
A direct descendant of the West
Africans of Sierra Leone whose people
were kidnapped and brought to America
centuries ago on slave ships — mostly to
the South Carolina and Georgia coasts —
Miss Jery redefines the word remarkable.
I call her “Miss Jery” as a term of affection as borrowed from a Beaufort tour
guide. I also call her that as an ultimate
form of respect.
This beautiful lady is an encyclopedia
of common sense and a wealth of cultural
knowledge. She’s also one of this nation’s
finest basket weavers, a trade she learned
from her grandmother which was handed
down from earlier generations within the
Gullah community.
You can even find her work in the
Smithsonian.
They’re called sweetgrass baskets and I
now have a small one on the coffee table
in my office. To say these unique coil
baskets are a conversation piece is an
understatement. To say they’re a “statement” that I’ll use on young visitors —
especially some of our youthful reporters
— is more to the truth.
InKSPoTS
Rick Norton
Assoc. Editor
That’s because these baskets are more
than just a wise old woman’s craft. These
baskets are a people, a heritage, a way of
life and an identity. For Gullah descendants, these baskets are reminders of
where they came from, how they got here
and what it has taken to survive in a new
world — one whose wealthy plantation
owners of long ago wanted them for their
backs, their brawn and their knowledge
of the fields.
I don’t know Miss Jery’s age. I didn’t
ask. Although, had I asked I believe she
would have told me. She’s that kind of
lady — open, spirited, proud, opinionated, talented ... and a visionary. She sees
the end of her way of life coming unless
the younger generations stand up to stop
its slide.
I’m not just talking about the art of
basket weaving. I’m talking about the
Gullah culture. Of course, they’re one in
the same. As West Africans, they brought
their knowledge of this fine art with them
across the Atlantic.
Old folks taught the younger folks.
Younger folks got old and they became
the teachers. And the cycle continued.
Until now. And that’s what breaks the
heart of Gullah elders like Miss Jery.
“The young people ... they’re just not
interested in it,” she said of the basketweaving craft on a muggy Wednesday
afternoon on the porch of the Gullah
Grub restaurant. “It’s hard work. It’s not
instant gratification.”
Though not affiliated with the Gullah
Grub as a businesswoman, the eatery’s
porch serves as her shop. On one end
she covers a tabletop with her diverse col-
lection of gorgeous handiwork, all of
which is for sale. On the other end she
sits in an old wooden rocking chair,
flanked by small tables that hold the raw
products of her trade — sweetgrass,
binding materials, Chamber of Commerce
literature that tells the story of Gullah
and basket weaving, and a bag stuffed
with who knows what all.
And there she sits, day after day ... her
aged hands yet nimble fingers navigating
the sweetgrass into some of this planet’s
most artistic, durable and ingenious baskets.
Most of the day she sits alone, minding
her business and tending to the work of
the day. But, like any tourist attraction,
she gets her share of visitors — from the
North, from the West Coast, from the
upper Eastern Seaboard, from Florida ...
even from Southeast Tennessee which is
about a seven-hour drive, give or take an
extra 30 minutes of motoring frustration
through Atlanta.
She’s always willing to talk. She’s
always got a story. She’s always sharing
the past with those from the present who
may never have heard of Gullah nor
understood that it’s not just a word ... it’s
a people, a way of life and in some ways a
tragedy turned miracle.
I wish I knew more about the Gullah
community. If so, I could share it more
accurately. I know only what I learned
during a week’s visit to the South
Carolina Low Country, what a three-hour
tour guide told our small group from her
air-conditioned van, what I’ve read in a
few books purchased in Beaufort as well
as from the Penn Center Welcome Center,
and from what Miss Jery shared that
brief afternoon on her old country porch.
Here’s my take on the Gullah community, an endearing lifestyle I knew nothing
about until our recent stay in Beaufort.
Of course, you can learn much more just
by Googling. There’s plenty of material
out there.
During America’s tragic era of slavery,
West Africans from predominately Sierra
Leone, Ivory Coast and Angola were
forcibly taken from their villages in
chains and swept across the ocean to the
Carolina and Georgia coasts. Many
became the property of wealthy plantation owners along the barrier islands of
South Carolina, one of which is St.
Helena Island and the surrounding Sea
Islands.
Wealthy property owners often fled the
islands by boat in the heat and disease of
summer, and spent the hot season in
more comfortable townhomes in
Beaufort. Several thousand slaves were
left on the islands to work the fields and
rice paddies under the
supervision of only a
small number of masters and property
managers.
Isolated from the
mainland and thereby
exposed to very little
assimilation to
American way of life,
the West Africans continued to embrace
Bennett-Taylor
their own customs,
beliefs, cooking styles and language that
they brought with them on the slave
ships. And thus was born to America the
Gullah community.
Most believe the term “Gullah” comes
from the word “Angola,” the native home
for many of the people.
A deeply spiritual folk, the Gullah
prayed to the same God and sang hymns
to the same Jesus who guides American
hearts. They did so in small “Praise
Houses,” as allowed by the wealthy slave
owners. One of these tiny structures of
worship can still be viewed on St. Helena.
The Gullah are a superstitious, familyoriented and likable people. They speak
with a distinct dialect, one that — to me,
anyway — sounds like a cross between

The “handler’ of the hankie approach a

Several dances were in vogue at this

The others included: The Matador, The

broken English and some foreign language spoken in their native African

books as “... a creole language similar to
Sierra Leone Krio.”
In some ways, they are a forgotten people; yet, their heritage lives on thanks to
the good work of the Penn Center (a former school for freed slaves who were
being prepared for an American way of
life) on St. Helena Island which now promotes the Gullah heritage; an annual festival that pays tribute to their culture; a
proactive marketing campaign in the
region to preserve these genuine traditions; and, of course, the insight of elders
like Miss Jery.
This wonderful woman sees hope for
the Gullah way of life, but she knows
young people are the key. Their level of
interest in sustaining Gullah tradition is
what will save, or doom, the culture itself.
Of basket weaving, Miss Jery prays
someone in her family will one day take
up the trade because she won’t be around
forever. But she recognizes this reality: It
is 2015. Young people have new interests,
they move away and they forget.
Basket weaving is just one part of the
Gullah way of life. There is much, much
more. But each time a young person
moves away and abandons these rich traditions, the glow in the heart of a people
dims just a little more.
I’ll have more to say about Gullah, and
especially about Miss Jery, in weeks to
come. But before then, and in the next
couple of days, I’ll be calling her to review
a basket-weaving DVD she gave me as a
gift.
I’ll thank her for the video and the
afternoon of good conversation on that
old restaurant porch.
But most of all, I’ll thank her for the
hug that ended our day, and for the
Gullah smile that welcomes the sunrise
every slow muggy morning in the South
Carolina Low Country.

While selecting a vase at the

The problem is, my wife’s sisters
consider my gift to be in extremely

would be a visible and lasting
remembrance of their loving sister

Dear Heartbroken: We think
your wife’s sisters are the ones
whose grief has affected their judgment. Your gift was thoughtful and
kind, but perhaps too difficult for
them to process right now. Please
apologize to them for not consulting them first to see whether they
wanted these gifts. Let them know
you value the relationship, and
ask how to make things better.

Touring Red Clay is a respectful journey through time
A Blue Hole, an eternal flame and a
Cherokee homestead in Red Clay,
Tennessee, are central to one of the most
distressing stories in U.S. history.
They tell the tale of a people who
fought for justice and were beaten at the
last Councils of the Cherokee, on ground
now known as Red Clay State Historic
Park.
That ground is deeply saturated with
the rich history of the Cherokee and the
tears and heartache associated with the
Last Councils of the Cherokee on their
native land near the foothills of the Great
Smoky Mountains.
For a newcomer such as myself, it is
not hard to picture the people of long ago
who walked the Council grounds in
search of a solution to the feud between
the U.S. government and the Cherokee
Nation.
Feeling the emotion of the site is easy.
What is not easy is realizing that the
American government played a central
role in the misery of an entire tribe who
had become the most “civilized” Native
Americans at the time. The tribe of
Sequoyah, Nancy Ward, Stand Watie and
Elias Boudinot, heroes of resourcefulness
and tenacity, were forced to leave their
homeland on the Eastern side of the
Mississippi, and travel to an unknown
land out West.
Red Clay State Historic Park is the
beginning of the story and stands as a
reminder of what happened in 1838 and
before at the last Councils of Red Clay.
When one pictures natives, most will
envision the Cherokees riding on the war
path, with ceremonial painted faces, waving bows in the air as they travel toward
the sunset. However, even though that
picture of Native American life might have
been true at one point in Cherokee history, by the 19th century the Cherokee
lived a life very similar to their American
neighbors.
In fact, in Echota, Georgia, the national
capital of the Cherokee, the Cherokee
had progressed to the point of having a
constitution and elections which were
open to any Cherokee male over 18.
The Cherokee Phoenix, a national bilin-

gual newspaper, was also in circulation
throughout the Cherokee Nation.
Evolving from a wander-gatherer lifestyle,
the people had become proficient farmers, as evidenced by the Cherokee Nation
census, taken in 1824 and published in
the Cherokee Phoenix, that reported a
“population of 15,000 Indians, owning
1,000 negro slaves, 22,400 cattle, 7,600
horses, 40,000 hogs, 3,000 sheep, 1,850
spinning wheels, 2,450 plows, 475 goats,
700 looms, 120 wagons, 12 sawmills, 20
gristmills, 55 blacksmith shops, 6 cotton
gins, 10 ferries, 9 stores, a turnpike, 6
public roads and [even] a threshing
machine.”
The Phoenix editor, Elias Boudinot,
estimated the total value of the Cherokee
property (not including land holdings) at
about $2.2 million. Not only did the
Cherokee assimilate the agriculturist
ideal of the pioneer Americans, they also
embraced other facets of the colonials.
They switched from traditional manmade clothes and tools to items proffered
by traders, such as firearms, metal work,
saddles and cloth. The Cherokee had
adapted a modern way of life and possibly surpassed their white counterparts in
most areas. But, the new lifestyle was not
enough to pacify the white man.
In fact, the citizens of Georgia were
incensed by the Cherokee progress. At
that time, it became illegal for the
Cherokee to hold meetings and the state
government also divided the Indian land
by lottery. As a result of those decisions,
the Cherokee Nation moved its capital to
Red Clay in Tennessee.
As I began my first tour at Red Clay, I
looked up when I heard the song of the
flags flipping merrily in the breeze. For a
moment, I was mesmerized by the sight
of the flags flying together. The Cherokee,
the U.S. and the state flag were finally flying in the same direction and I was
reminded of the unity between the people
that exists now as compared to the times
of the last Councils, when confrontation
between the governments was the only
certainty of the land. However, the flags
now fly together and show the visitor that
the emotion of the spot is not lost on the
Cherokee peoples.
Starting at the Red Clay Visitor Center
after viewing a documentary of the struggle of long ago, I begin my journey on the
interpretive trail that winds through the
historic structures on the park. Climbing
the hill to my right, I spy an odd sight.
Intrigued, I walk over to see what it could
be.
A stately, stone structure lies nestled
in the woods, covered by a massive pin
oak. This is the Eternal Flame of the
Cherokee Nation and it has a history that
began long ago. This 6-foot outdoor fireplace which houses the flame is admittedly an unexpected sight. It was placed
at the park in 1984 by the Eastern and
Western Band of Cherokee to commemorate the infamous beginning of the “Trail
of Tears” and the estimated 4,000
Cherokee who perished on the notorious
journey.
However, the most impressive part of
this slice of history is that this is the
same flame that was carried during the
forced removal to Oklahoma in 1838.
This “sacred fire” was carried by a Native
along the trail, tended each day, and
would eventually be brought back to the
holy ground at Red Clay for the first joint
session of the Eastern and Western
Bands in almost 150 years.
The next stop on my journey is the
Sacred Spring, so I walk down to meet
the trail and follow it until I arrive at the
fence that surrounds the epicenter of the
park known as the Blue Hole. This hallowed spring, deemed to be a gateway to
the underworld by the Natives, was the
focal point during the councils as it provided water for an estimated 4,000
Council attendees.
The underground spring produces an
estimated 400,000 gallons of pure, 52-
degree water per day, and was more than
an adequate source of water during the
councils in August 1836. Even now, the
water appears clean and cool with a layer
of slate rock that conceals the base of the
spring.
With a large tulip poplar standing
guard, the deep blue in the center of the
spring and the sounds of the water trickling under the bridge, this spot is the
most peaceful in the park and a good
place to remember the plight of the native
people.
Moving on after my thoughtful interlude, I walk toward the largest dwelling in
the park. In the distance, the open air
Council House stands in the middle of
the park. Although this replica is a fraction of the size of the original, it is not
hard to imagine the murmurings of the
Cherokees’ last meetings echoing
throughout the hewn log building as they
debated their future.
Unanimous agreements are hard to
imagine in this day in America, but it was
a way of life for the Cherokee. During the
debate over the New Echota Treaty of
1832, over 16,000 Natives, nearly the
entire Nation, would sign a petition stating their refusal to accept the terms of
the treaty and their desire to remain on
their lands. The petition was in vain and
with one vote in 1836, the U.S. Senate
voted to ratify the treaty and begin the
removal of the people to the West.
Finally, I walk toward the sleeping
huts. Since the Cherokee camped all
around the Council Grounds, this area
was set aside for visitors and official
ambassadors of the federal government.
These huts, made purposely without windows, doors or chinking, were constructed so as to give the Indians an opportunity to see what the officials did inside their
sleeping quarters and it was reported
that the Natives were “extremely curious.”
One observer who slept in the huts,
George Featherstonhaugh, an English
botanist sent to survey the area for the
federal government, reported that the
Indians at the meeting, “moved about
gracefully ... preserving grave and
thoughtful demeanor imposed upon them
by the singular position in which they
were placed.”
To complete my tour, I walk toward the
Farm Homestead. A symbol of a changing
society for the Cherokee people, the
farms of the Cherokee would usually
include a living area, space for cultivated
fields and access to the woodlands.
During the time of the last Council
meetings, the way of life had changed for
the Cherokee. No longer concerned with
the good of the tribe as a whole, the
Cherokee of the 19th century grew corn
for family needs and to fatten cattle for
resale. The Cherokee had transformed
into a people who largely resembled the
pioneers, but that conversion would not
be enough to keep their homeland.
Red Clay State Historic Park is not just
another spot on the map. It is a chronicle
of a suffering Nation that was abused by
those who should have protected it. Also,
it is a reminder today of a noble people
who began a journey West so terrible that
it was aptly named the “Trail of Tears” in
honor of the 4,000 men, women and children who perished.
All are invited to visit the park and see
the spot where so much history and
heartbreak occurred.

Study aims to uncover why cancer plagues golden retrievers
LOS ANGELES (AP) — If a golden retriever gives
birth, gets stung by a bee or sprayed by a skunk, veterinarians want to know.
Scientists are studying the popular breed to find
out why their lifespans have gotten shorter over the
years and why cancer is so prevalent.
The Colorado-based Morris Animal Foundation
recently got the first lifetime study of 3,000 purebred
golden retrievers up and running after signing up the
first dogs in 2012. The nonprofit says the review of
health conditions and environmental factors facing
goldens across the U.S. can help other breeds and
even people, because humans carry 95 percent of the
same DNA.
“Canine cancer has become a dog owner’s greatest
fear,” said Dr. David Haworth, president and CEO of
the foundation, which invested $25 million in the
study. “You don’t see dogs running loose that much
anymore, we don’t see a lot of infectious diseases, and
the vaccines we have today are very good, so our con-
cerns are warranted.”
The vets haven’t learned enough yet to improve or
prolong the retrievers’ lives, but key factors could lie
anywhere, said Dr. Michael Lappin, who has 19
patients from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, in the
study. When he graduated from veterinary school in
1972, golden retrievers lived 16 or 17 years. Today, it’s
nine or 10 years.
Golden retrievers die of bone cancer, lymphoma
and a cancer of the blood vessels more than any other
breed in the country.
Lappin plans to get his families together in a few
months to see if they have found ways to make life
easier for their dogs, especially because the most helpful data about cancer, obesity, diabetes and other
chronic conditions won’t emerge for six or seven years,
researchers say.
Early exams showed 33 percent of the dogs, which
are 1 to 5 years old, had skin disease or ear infections;
17 percent had gastrointestinal illnesses; and 11 per-
cent had urinary disease.
The dogs get medication to treat the conditions, but
vets can’t treat them differently because it would skew
the results, Lappin said.
Marla Yetka of Denver says her nearly 2-year-old
golden retriever, Snickers, joined the study and has
been suffering from skin problems. Yetka uses oatmeal shampoo on her pet, but she’s looking forward to
talking with other participants about their remedies.
“I have too many friends who have lost goldens,”
she said. “Is it what we are feeding them, their environments, their breeding?”
Pet owners keep tabs on everything, from a move
across country or across town, a change in climate or
time zone, new children at home, different food or
behavioral changes. Most keep journals so they don’t
constantly call the vets when their dog gets a thorn in
its foot, eats a spider or devours a bunch of bologna if
it tears into the groceries.
The vets collect blood, waste, and hair and nail
samples annually to test if the dogs get sick, hoping to
uncover a common thread or early warning sign
among dogs that develop cancer or other diseases.
Doctors also check for changes in temperature, blood
pressure, energy, diet, sleeping patterns or other factors that could explain illnesses.
“Everyone involved will feel the burden it will take to
be able to say, ‘I am playing a role in stopping cancer
in these animals I love,’” Haworth said.
So far, seven goldens have died of conditions such
as cancer and gastrointestinal problems, and one was
hit by a car, Haworth said. Another dropped out when
its owner died. The dogs come from every state; about
half are male and half are female; and half are fixed
and half are not.
Those who brought dogs into the study, including
both veterinarians, hope goldens get a shot at the
longer life they used to enjoy.
“I’m glad I found the study and feel in some small
way, I might make a difference,” Yetka said.
Americans spent $58 billion
to pamper, protect pets in 2014
JeSSa, a shepherd mix, is looking for her forever family. Officer Roy Womack gives her a
well-deserved pet.
Womack, above, holds
Izabelle, a 3- to 4- year-old Siamese mix. She
will adopt you at Cleveland Animal Control, 360
Hill St. The shelter is open weekdays, 11 a.m. to
5 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to noon.
aBBy, a 6-month-old golden-Lab puppy, was
surrendered to the SPCA Shelter by her owners
after they decided Abby needed a home with more
room and a family with more time to devote to her.
Less than an hour later, “Miss Abby” found her new
forever home with Mishala Mundall and family, who
live on several acres with some farm animals.
Do you ever wonder what becomes of pets
adopted from shelters? Nadia, a chocolate bull
terrier puppy, was brought to the SPCA Shelter
when she was just 6 weeks old. She was adopted
the next day by Crystal Coppings. Nadia seems
to be quite content and well cared for in her new
forever home.
potter, a 2-year-old bassett hound mix, was
brought to the SPCA Shelter as a stray after trying
to take up residence on another dog’s porch. He
was adopted seven days later by Roy Lee and family after they decided his short stature and gentle
nature was perfect for their little girl.
Spirit, a 6-week-old calico kitten, was brought
to the SPCA Shelter by a Good Samaritan who
saw her by a dumpster at a gas station in need of
medical attention. That Samaritan was Felicia
Floyd, who returned 21 days later to adopt her as
her own.
BoB Caylor, left, has been with The Ark for 15 years. He
serves as president to the board of directors, shelter director, lead
volunteer and is a foster care provider. He provides shelter pet transport to and from the veterinarian. He has five dogs and five cats, all
rescued pets from The Ark. He is holding his most recent fur baby
Yahzi, a Chihuahua. Caylor said, "When I joined The Ark, adoptions
were done every other Saturday, for four hours in front of Petco. Pets
were all kept in foster homes, and not vetted prior to adoption, which
often saw adopters return them pregnant or with litters of kittens and
puppies. This added to the pet over population crisis. ... Nine years
ago we opened an adoption center on Ocoee Street and five years
ago moved into our own shelter at 240 Oak St. N.W. With the exception of puppies and kittens, too young to have received all vaccinations and spay/neuter, all pets are kept in this home-like central location, open for adoptions five days a week." For those interested in

LOS ANGELES (AP) — We feed
them, groom them, clothe them
and otherwise shell out the big
bucks to protect and pamper our
pets.
The American Pet Products
Association’s annual report on
pet industry spending says
Americans spent $58 billion in
2014 on their 397 million pets,
which range from freshwater
fish and reptiles to cats and
dogs.
The industry trade group
released the survey Thursday at
the Global Pet Expo, an annual
trade show in Orlando, Florida.
The data came from a variety of
groups, market research studies
and media reports.
Here’s a snapshot of how we
spend money on pets:
—WHERE THE MONEY GOES
The association measures five
areas of spending. Last year,
people spent $22 billion on food;
$15 billion on veterinary care;
$14 billion on supplies such as
beds, bowls and collars and
over-the-counter medicine to
fight ailments such as fleas,
ticks and colds; $4.8 billion on
other services; and $2 billion on
animals themselves.
The “other services” category
grew the fastest in 2014 and
includes payments on grooming,
boarding, walking, training, day
care and even trips to the spa —
where pets can get facials and
massages, said Bob Vetere, president and CEO of the pet prod-
ucts association, based in
Greenwich, Connecticut.
—VET VISITS FLAT
The report says trips to the
veterinarian were unchanged or
slightly down last year, although
expenditures per visit have
increased as owners green-light
more expensive procedures,
Vetere said. Those treatments
ranged from the lifesaving to the
exotic, like plastic surgery.
A robust human-animal bond
still exists, especially with dogs
and cats, and people are doing
more to prolong their pets’ lives,
from surgery to food, Vetere
said.
—WHAT’S FOR DINNER
If food for pets sometimes
sounds good enough to eat, it’s
because it is. San Diego-based
Honest Kitchen and Vero Beach,
Florida-based Caru Natural Dog
Stews are two pet food brands
considered human-grade by the
U.S.
Food
and
Drug
Administration because their
grub is made with ingredients
palatable by people and produced in facilities meeting higher safety requirements.
Americans spent the most on
food for their pets last year, and
much of it mirrored human
trends, such as gluten-free,
wheat-free, little sugar or
reduced-calorie. The feast might
come dry, wet, raw, baked,
flaked, shredded, diced, sliced,
frozen or freeze-dried.
—PET SALES DOWN
Sales of the animals themselves dropped from $2.23 billion in 2013 to $2.15 billion in
2014, which was expected
because spending in the category has fallen slightly each of the
past several years, Vetere said.
There is likely no one reason, he
said. But adoptions at shelters
and rescues are strong, many
cities banned the sale of dogs
from puppy mills and the lifespans of dogs and cats have
lengthened.
—INDUSTRY GROWTH
As pets have become more
important parts of U.S. families,
spending on them has exploded.
There has been more than a
threefold increase since the
group’s first survey was released
in 1994, when people paid out
$17 billion. Spending grew 4.2
percent, from $55.72 billion in
2013 to $58.04 billion last year,
Vetere said.
—COMPARING SPENDING
People spent about five times
more on their pets than they did
on movies last year. The box office
firm Rentrak estimated that ticket
sales from 2014 totaled $10.4 billion, a 5.2 percent drop from
2013. But people spent far more
on their homes than they did their
pets, with expenditures from
home improvements and repairs
reaching $298 billion in 2013, the
most recent data available.
Traveling with your dog will
cost you — sometimes hundreds
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Having
an 80-pound Labradoodle as a
travel buddy means B.L. Ochman
can quickly separate the hotels
that love dogs from those that just
put up with them.
A bed-and-breakfast she visited
north of New York City wouldn’t
let her pooch Benny trot around
in the main house, among other
troubles. Ochman, a Manhattan
Internet strategist, has since discovered Audrey’s Farmhouse, a
B&B in Wallkill, New York, that
caters to dogs and doesn’t charge
pet fees that can top hundreds of
dollars.
“Dog-friendly means your dog
is welcome,” she said. “If the dog
is welcome, he shouldn’t cost
extra money. Of course, I am a
dog owner, not an innkeeper.”
Hotels ranging from major
chains to small outposts are capitalizing on the wave of travelers
who bring along their dogs, some
by charging for perks that pamper
pets and others by expanding
fees. What started as a basic, onetime pet fee has blossomed into a
per-night charge at many places
and costs that can total hundreds.
Some properties offer amenities
from patches of grass to chew
toys, designer bowls and in-room
massages — usually for an additional price — while others simply
levy cleaning fees, whether your
dog makes a mess or not. Those
hotels often don’t offer extras or
permission for pooches over a
certain weight, locking out larger
pets like Ochman’s.
“There is a huge difference
between pet-tolerant and pet-welcoming,” said Carol Bryant, a pet
industry public relations strategist
from
Forty
Fort,
Pennsylvania.
She’s been traveling with dogs
for decades and says hotels that
simply tolerate animals don’t offer
services such as bowls and beds,
so dogs might be sleeping on thin
carpeting.
Perks such as organic treats
usually cost more, but “I never
forget when businesses extend
themselves to my dog,” Bryant
said. “Does my dog know?
Probably not, but I do. And I do
the spending.”
Hotels charge a range of prices
for pets. More than 120
DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in
the U.S. charge a maximum $75
nonrefundable fee used for cleaning, said Maggie Giddens, director
of public relations for the hotels.
Many chains charge differently
by city. In San Francisco, flat fees
are common, with the Radisson
charging $75; the Marriott, $50 to
$100; Holiday Inn, $75; and the
Hyatt, $100, according to
petswelcome.com, a pet travel
services website. But the
InterContinental requires $50 a
night there.
Many properties have no fees,
including Motel 6, Studio 6, Red
Roof Inn, La Quinta and Kimpton,
which has 67 hotels nationwide,
said Cindy Dahlen, marketing
director for New York-based
petswelcome.com.
Others charge per night,
including Rodeway Inn and
Westin hotels at $10-$15; Best
Western and Travelodge at $20;
and Extended Stay America at
$25.
Bryant said the highest fee
she’s faced was a one-time $250
cleaning charge at the Trump
SoHo New York. Dogs staying at
the luxury hotel also have to be
under 25 pounds.
Other pet policies, which
exclude service dogs, vary by
hotel and can include:
— Rooms on designated floors,
allowing other customers to avoid
pet dander.
— Restricting dogs from getting
on furniture in rooms and lobbies.
— When dogs must be leashed.
— Where they can go on the
property.
— Bans on certain breeds,
which generally match the city’s
laws.
For Ochman, bed-and-breakfasts beat out hotels, because
they’re more distinctive and usually have fewer restrictions on
pets.
“People approach travel in different ways,” she said. “We are
just looking for a pretty place
where we can relax and take the
dogs.”
Game 5

coach David Blatt from getting
much sleep.
Iguodala, though, was Golden
State’s best player. He scored 22
points, made James work for
every shot and while making his
first start of the season in
Golden State’s 101st game, he
set the early tempo by outrunning Cleveland’s defense for a
pair of dunks.
“He’s one of the X-factors, and
he came to play,” James said of
the 31-year-old Iguodala, one of
his Olympic teammates. “He was
in attack.”
Kerr went with a smaller lineup — he benched center Andrew
Bogut — and it’s likely he’ll stick
with a group that causes
matchup problems for the
Cavaliers. Because of injuries to
Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love,
Cleveland has limited options.
Kerr admitted afterward that he
wasn’t truthful leading into the
game for fear of Cleveland making an adjustment.
Given the Cavs’ fragile state, it
may not have mattered.
The coast-to-coast travel, lack
of depth and demanding schedule caught up to Cleveland.
Although the decimated Cavs
downplayed the fatigue, it was
obvious they didn’t have their
legs.
And the postgame scene in
their training room underscored
their brittle condition. James
needed stitches for a head cut
sustained when he banged into
a courtside camera; Matthew
Dellavedova took an ice bath to
soothe his cramping muscles;
Iman Shumpert had his bruised
left shoulder encased in ice.
All things considered, it’s
remarkable the Cavs are in the
series.
After carrying his teammates
in three games, James was due
a sub-standard performance. He
still managed 22 points, 12
rebounds and eight assists, but
he was unable to dictate the
tempo as the Warriors took control.
Blatt may need to re-consider
NBA Finals
draw strong
TV ratings
NEW YORK (AP) — The
NBA Finals’ Game 4 has
drawn its highest television
rating in more than a decade.
The Golden State Warriors’
103-82 win over the
Cleveland Cavaliers on
Thursday night to even the
series at 2-2 averaged an 11.7
rating on ABC. That’s the best
since the Pistons-Lakers
series in 2004.
ESPN said Friday that the
nearly 19.8 million viewers
were up 34 percent from the
14.8 million for last year’s
matchup between the San
Antonio Spurs and Miami
Heat.
Ratings represent the percentage of U.S. homes with
televisions tuned to a program.
his rotations. He’s only playing
seven players, ignoring veterans
Mike Miller and Shawn Marion,
former champions who might be
able to provide vital minutes
and ease James’ burden. Also,
the Cavs need to get something,
anything, from J.R. Smith, who
missed all eight 3-pointers in
Game 4.
The only time Smith, who
arrived at Quicken Loans Arena
riding an electric, hands-free
vehicle called a PhunkeeDuck,
was on the mark was when he
muttered an expletive describing
his performance.
James, in typical fashion,
seemed unfazed by the loss —
almost as if he expected it.
He understands his team’s
limitations, but he also knows
the Cavs still have a chance,
and that’s all he can ask.
James has been in tougher
jams than this. He dismissed
the notion that his next game
will be his biggest challenge.
With Miami in 2012, James
went to Boston trailing 3-2 in
the conference finals and the
four-time MVP responded with
an epic 45-point, 12-rebound
effort.
“That’s probably the biggest
challenge of my career,” he said.
“Game 5 at Golden State is not
that big when it comes to going
to Boston, you lose multiple
times in that arena, and the
franchise I was with at the time
had never won a playoff game in
Boston. Now that’s pretty challenging, so I’ve been through a
little bit in my pretty cool
career.”

Keselowski has a Sprint Cup
championship on his resume,
but he’s never won a Cup race
in his home state of Michigan.
He’ll start near the front
Sunday. “I honestly didn’t
think we would qualify this
well,” he said. “We came with
some new stuff on the car,
which seems to be working.”
PRESSURE: Gordon is retiring at the end of this season,
and it’s not clear if he’ll be in
the Chase at the end. He’s 10th
in points and hasn’t won a
race. He did win at Michigan
last August. “The performance
has not quite been there, the
confidence has not quite been
there,” Gordon said. “One race
can make a huge difference in
getting you back there, and I
think this is definitely a track
that can do that for us.”
World Series
Early football signing period
close to becoming reality
An early signing period for college football is close to becoming a
reality after years of debate and discussion about giving prospects the
opportunity to end their recruitment before February.
The Collegiate Commissioners
Association, which administers the
national letter of intent recruits
sign to make their verbal commitments to a school binding, will
meet next week in Asheville, North
Carolina, and are expected to vote
Tuesday or Wednesday on a proposal to create a new three-day
signing period in December.
The dates would match-up with
the signing period for midyear
enrollees, who are usually transferring in from junior college.
The early signing period would
start this year on Dec. 16 and be
reviewed after two years.
“Seeing the rule approved is a
distinct possibility,” said MidAmerican
Conference
Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher,
who has led the committee
assigned with coming up with a
proposal.
Steinbrecher said the other possible outcome would be tabling the
issue to first allow the NCAA’s new
football oversight committee to
weigh-in on other aspects of
recruiting.
That’s not an outcome
Steinbrecher would prefer.
“Quite frankly, given the twoyear look-in that’s part of the proposal, I would just as soon say,
‘Let’s either move forward or not
move forward,’” he said. “Let’s get
off of being in limbo, which is
where we have been for a long
Virginia turned three double

“We didn’t get a bunt down,
and a lot of times when you
don’t get a bunt down, you hit
into a double play,” Hogs coach
Dave Van Horn said. “Give
Virginia credit. Their pitchers
got out of some good jams. We
had too many runners left on.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis
Rams have signed first-round
pick Todd Gurley, along with the
rest of their draft class.
The Rams, 6-10 last year, have
announced the signings together
under coach Jeff Fisher, who’ll be
entering his fourth season.
Georgia’s Gurley is rehabbing
from knee surgery and might not
be ready for the opener.
The draft class includes four
offensive linemen, upgrading an
area of weakness. The first seven
picks of the nine-player class were
on offense, including linemen Rob
Havenstein in the second round,
Jamon Brown in the third,
Andrew Donnal in the fourth, and
Cody Wichmann in the sixth.
“They’re fast learners. They’re
especially strong, talented,” coach
Jeff Fisher said.
The lone returning starters on
the offensive line are guard
Rodger Saffold and tackle Greg
Robinson. Saffold has been limited in OTAs coming off shoulder
surgery.
“We’re just being smart now,”
Fisher said earlier this week. “We
have every reason to expect that
thing’s not going to pop out every
three weeks like it did.”
Wichmann has been set back a
bit by a minor calf injury.
The Rams also signed quarterback Sean Mannion, linebacker
Bryce Hager and defensive back
Martin Ifedi. Sixth-rounder Bud
Sasser, a wide receiver, was
released earlier due to a pre-existing medical condition.
Falcons, Beasley sign
4-year deal
ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta
Falcons have reached terms on a
four-year contract with defensive
end Vic Beasley, the NFL’s No. 8
overall draft pick.
Beasley has participated in offseason training activities, but he
was limited this week because of a
sore shoulder.
The team, in its first year under
coach Dan Quinn, begins a
mandatory three-day minicamp
Tuesday. All of Atlanta’s draft
picks are signed.
Drafting the 6-foot-3, 246pound Beasley should boost a
pass rush that in 2014 ranked
last in total yards allowed, thirddown efficiency and sacks.
In a four-year career at
Clemson, Beasley started 25 of 48
games. He had 33 sacks, 29 quarterback pressures, 11 pass
breakups, seven forced fumbles
and two fumble recoveries.

ACC coaches voted in favor of
the proposed early signing period
during their spring meetings and
Pac-12 coaches also support it.
The Big 12 and Big Ten have not
put forth official conference positions on early signing, but Ohio
State Athletic Director Gene Smith
told reporters at Big Ten spring
meetings a “super majority” of
schools in his conference was in
favor.
Big 12 schools are divided,
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.
“I want to listen to the debate at
the CCA meetings,” Bowlsby said.
The Group of Five FBS conferences — the Mountain West,
American Athletic, Sun Belt,
Conference
USA
and
Steinbrecher’s MAC — all support
an early signing period.
Coaches tend to be all over the
place when it comes to early signing. Aside from the December proposal and the SEC’s preferred postThanksgiving plan, some have suggested a period during the summer
so prospects could sign before their
senior seasons.
And a few such as Arizona’s Rich
Rodriguez and Youngstown State
coach Bo Pelini, formerly of
Nebraska, have suggested doing
away with signing periods all
together. Prospects would sign
whenever they are ready.
Almost every plan has benefits
and shortcomings.
“Administrators and coaches
have spent the past months talking
about it. Really thinking it through
and that’s the main thing,”
Steinbrecher said. “Let’s go up.
Let’s go down. It’s time to move on
one way or the other.”
Rams sign all draft picks
From Page 20
had three against the Hogs.
That was the most by a player
in the CWS since 2004.
Ernie Clement added an RBI
single in the ninth, and Virginia
scored all five of its runs with
two outs.
Arkansas’ leadoff batter
reached base in six innings,
including the first four. But
time.”
The Southeastern Conference is
the only FBS league that has publicly stated opposition to the proposal.
SEC
Commissioner
Greg
Sankey has said the conference
has a range of concerns — enough
to fill a three-page memo — with
the proposal, including the impact
it would have on in-season recruiting for college coaches and high
school teams.
“What happens in early
December when conferences are
playing championship games?
When the next week, people are in
final exams and you’re asking
some prospects to sign national
letters of intent midweek during
their own state high school playoffs?” Sankey said at the SEC
spring meetings in Destin last
month.
“You don’t have access to another semester’s academic information
where you’re making decisions and
probably don’t have test scores at
any point during the senior year? I
could go on and on with the incremental three pages of concerns.”
Sankey said the SEC fears an
early signing period will eventually
replace the current signing day,
which is the Wednesday of the first
full week of February.
SEC coaches are not necessarily
against the idea of an early signing
day for recruits who have not
wavered from nonbinding verbal
commitments, but most of them
prefer it to be the Monday after
Thanksgiving. But SEC administrators would rather just stick with
the status quo than switch to what
has been proposed.

Century Park Associates presents
its annual performance awards
Century Park Associates, a
nationwide senior living company, recently presented its 2015
performance awards at its
Annual Management Meeting in
Tampa, Fla.
“With the high level of performance across the country during
this past year, it was difficult to
select just one winner for each
category,” said JoAnna Crooks,
Century Park Associates representative.
Las Fuentes Resort Village in
Prescott, Arizona, won the
Independent Living Facility of the
Year Award. The campus was
praised for its high quality of
lifestyle for residents, its longevity of staff and its involvement in
the community, especially with
the Assisted Living Federation of
America.
The Bridge at Colorado
Springs, Colorado, took the
honor for Assisted Living Facility
of the Year. The building was
praised for its high quality of care
for residents and the continuous
improvement of wellness programs. Century Park leadership
was also impressed with the center’s involvement with the
Colorado Springs Regional
Business Alliance and the
Southern Colorado Women’s
Council.
Rita Hood, senior executive
director at Lake Pointe Landing
in
Hendersonville,
North
Carolina, won the 2015
Chairman’s Award. She manages
the campus’s three distinct populations: independent living,
assisted living and patio homes,
and she has worked for the company for more than nine years.
“I gain the most from knowing
that I can make a positive difference in someone’s life,” explained
Hood. “I was shocked to win the
award because there are so many
successful communities in the
Century Park family.”
Nicole Long, executive director
at Harbor Place at Cottesmore in
Gig Harbor, Washington, was
also honored for outstanding
performance and leadership during the past year.

Escorted by associates, each of
the 14 contestants showed off
formal wear provided by Prior

from Cleveland’s Pilot Club. After
making individual appearances,
all contestants were escorted to
the front of the room, and asked
a question relating to the
Hollywood theme.
After the question-and-answer
portion of the pageant, the
judges deliberated to determine
which residents would claim the
titles of Mr. and Ms. Life Care
2015.

Prince George on balcony as queen marks ceremonial birthday
LONDON (AP) — Queen
Elizabeth II marked her ceremonial birthday Saturday with the
traditional “Trooping the Color”
parade in the heart of London —
and 23-month-old Prince George
made his debut on the
Buckingham Palace balcony.
The queen was joined by senior royals including the Duchess
of Cambridge, who made her first
appearance in public since leaving the hospital with newborn
Princess Charlotte six weeks ago.
There was no sign of Charlotte
but George captivated throngs of
well-wishers by appearing on the
balcony in the arms of his father,
Prince William, who was in full
military garb.
It was the first time George
took part in the royal tradition of
gathering the extended family on
the balcony on important national occasions. He was the
youngest person there; greatgrandfather Prince Philip, 94,
was the oldest.
Prince Charles, William and
Princess Anne were on horse-
back for the start of the annual
ceremony, later joining the others on the balcony.
The queen turned 89 on April
21, her actual birth date, which
is traditionally marked in private, with a public celebration
held in June, when London’s
fickle weather is more likely to be
favorable.
Crowds gathered outside
Buckingham Palace to view the
festivities though the day was
cloudy and cool.
Elizabeth, wearing a peach
and silver coat dress with a
matching hat, inspected 1,100
soldiers from the Household
Division at the Horse Guards
Parade grounds near the palace.
She arrived in an open-topped
Ascot Landau carriage.
The Duchess of Cambridge,
formerly Kate Middleton, wore a
blue and white dress by
Catherine Walker and a whimsi-
cal white hat by Lock and Co. for
the occasion. She arrived with
Camilla, the wife of Prince
Charles.
Kate and William and their two
young children have spent much
of the time since Charlotte’s birth
at their country retreat on the
queen’s estate at Sandringham
in rural Norfolk. William has
resumed his job as an air ambulance pilot after taking a break
for paternity leave.

Swedish prince marries former reality starlet
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The only
son of Sweden’s King Carl XVI
Gustaf and Queen Silvia on
Saturday married his fiancee in a
lavish ceremony in Stockholm.
Prince Carl Philip and the former reality starlet and model
Sofia Hellqvist, 30, tied the knot
Saturday at the Royal Palace
chapel before five European
queens, a Japanese princess and
dozens of other blue-blooded
guests. The couple got engaged
in June 2014.
Some 400 guests in total
attended the wedding ceremony,
where the smiling groom and visibly emotional bride heard
Swedish singer Salem Al Fakir
perform Coldplay’s hit “Fix You,”
followed by a Swedish language
version of Rihanna’s “Umbrella”
by singer David Pagmar.
Sofia was wearing a dress by
Swedish designer Ida Sjostedt,
made from silk crepe, covered
with Italian silk organza and lace
details. Gospel tunes accompanied the couple as they walked
down the aisle of the chapel to
the waiting, cheering crowds outside.
The newlyweds then traveled
in a ceremonial procession
through the streets of Stockholm
by horse and carriage.
The couple greeted the thousands of people gathered outside
the Royal Palace and a 21-gun
salute was fired at five-second
intervals in their honor.
Later Saturday, the pair joined
selected guests at a formal banquet at the Royal Palace hosted
by the king and queen.
Carl Philip, 36, is third in line
to the throne behind his elder
sister, Crown Princess Victoria,
and her 3-year-old daughter,
Princess Estelle, who was one of
the bridesmaids at the wedding.
Hellqvist, who has also worked
as a yoga instructor, gets the title
Duchess of Varmland.
On Friday evening, the couple
threw a pre-wedding dinner party
for 270 guests at an underground bunker formerly inhabited by the Swedish military and
now used to stage exhibitions.

Buchanan, Mayfield win
annual grocers’ awards
The Tennessee Grocers and
Convenience Store Association
has announced that Gary
Buchanan of United Grocery
Outlet has been named the 2015
Retailer of the Year.
The association also announced
that Scottie Mayfield of Mayfield
Dairy Farms has been named the
2015 Supplier of the Year.
The awards were presented at a
ceremony at TGCSA’s annual convention at the Chattanooga
Convention Center.
The TGCSA Board of Directors
annually bestows these industry
superlatives on leaders who have
distinguished themselves through
outstanding store or supplier
operations, notable contributions
to the food industry, community
service and service to the association.
The 2015 Retailer of the Year,
Gary Buchanan of Athens, is a
40-year veteran of the grocery
industry, having started off as a
bagger at Alfred’s IGA at the age of
Mayfield
Buchanan
15. When Gary joined his current
employer as director of operations,
the company had six retail grocery
stores.
Today, UGO is a chain of 36
stores in five states, and Gary is a
principal resource in improving
ideas and inventory-solving techniques for grocery manufacturers
and vendors.
“I am so proud to have been
chosen for this wonderful recognition by my peers”, stated
Buchanan. “I have a lot of respect
for my colleagues and TGCSA,
and I’m humbled by this honor.”
Mayfield, also of Athens, is
President Emeritus of Mayfield
Dairy Farm. He literally grew up
at the Mayfield company, and was
a veteran of the dairy producer’s
plants and processes by the time
he started full-time work there in
1972.
The 2015 Supplier of the Year is
known in the grocery industry not
only as an effective spokesman for
his company, but as a fair dealer
of a high-quality product, and as a
pillar of the community.
“Thanks to my friends in the
food industry for this great
honor”, Mayfield said. “It is gratifying to be recognized for excellence in doing something that you
love.”
TGCSA Chairman of the Board
John Edd Wampler praised
Buchanan and Mayfield for their
achievements.
“Gary and Scottie both have
been excellent leaders in their
respective companies, and represent the high standards that are
required for success in our competitive industry,” Wampler said.

Thinks he’s a dreamer
Dear Dave,
We’re debt-free including
our home. My husband is a
man of faith, but a bit of a
dreamer. He has written several inspirational books that
haven’t sold, but he feels this
and public speaking are his
calling.
He wants us to sell the
house, and live on the proceeds for a year, while he pursues this dream. What do you
think of the idea?
— Christy
Dear Christy,
It sounds to me like your
husband has a good heart, but
I think it would be a huge mistake for you guys to sell your
home when he hasn’t proven
that he can sell anything he
writes or says.
I understand where his
head is at right now. He wants
Dave Says
By
Dave
Ramsey
to help people, and that’s a
noble cause. But being a motivational writer and speaker
can be an addictive thing.
For some folks, signing
books and being on stage are
almost a high; they can make
you feel alive. But the whole
idea can draw you into the
land of financial stupidity if
you’re not careful.
My advice would be for him
to keep his day job, and work
his tail off nights and weekends to try and make this
dream a reality.
Let’s draw up an internet
strategy to get some exposure
for the books he has already
written. He could contact local
civic groups, and offer his
services as a speaker for their
meetings, too.
In the process he might sell
a few books from a table in the
back of the room, and I know
he’d get lots of valuable experience while building his
name.
It may take longer than he’d
like, but that’s a much better
idea than the one he has now.
It allows him to work toward a
goal and not put his family in
financial danger.
Then, once he’s making a
nice income on the side from
writing and speaking engagements, you guys can look at
the numbers and see if it’s feasible for him to dive in on a
full-time basis!

VW expansion to aid economy
A University of Tennessee
Center of Business and Economic
Research (CBER) study indicates
the expansion of Volkswagen’s
Chattanooga manufacturing facility to produce a new midsize-SUV
and the opening of a North
American
Engineering
and
Planning Center could create
approximately 9,800 jobs and add
$370 million in additional annual
income, once the plant is fully
operational.
“The findings in the CBER
study demonstrate that the incentive package recently passed by
the Tennessee legislature will
result in an economic growth multiplier of several times the state’s
investment,”
said
David
Geanacopoulos, Executive Vice
President for Public Affairs and
General Counsel, Volkswagen
Group of America.
“We would like to thank Gov.
Bill Haslam and Economic and
Community
Development
Commissioner Randy Boyd for
their leadership in fostering a
business environment within
Tennessee that is mutually-beneficial for the state and local economy as well as for companies like
Volkswagen that have operations
in the state,” Geanacopoulos
added.
In addition to the 2,400
Tennessee workers directly
employed by Volkswagen, the
study projects that Volkswagen’s
$704 million investment in the
Chattanooga plant expansion,
including the opening of a new
North American Engineering and
Planning Center, has the potential
to:
— Generate $217 million of new
income and more than 5,300 indirect and direct jobs in Tennessee
during the construction and tooling phase;
— Create roughly 9,800 jobs,
once the plant is fully operational,
including 1,800 potential jobs at
the production plant, 200 engineering jobs at the VW North
American
Engineering
and
Planning Center, as well as positions at auto parts suppliers, and
other jobs throughout Tennessee;
and
— Be responsible for $370 million in additional annual income,
once the plant is fully operational.
“Extensive supplier linkages
and good incomes earned by
Volkswagen employees account
for the significant employment
gains and economic multiplier
effects in Tennessee,” said William
Fox, the study’s author and
Director of the Center for
Business and Economic Research
at the University of Tennessee.
“This includes jobs in many
industries across the state, such
as grocery stores, restaurants,
shopping malls and construction,”
he continued.
Construction
for
the
Volkswagen Chattanooga expansion project is currently underway, and is expected to be completed during the summer of
2016. Production of the
Volkswagen midsize-SUV is
scheduled to commence at the
end of 2016, marking the second
Volkswagen model to be produced
in Chattanooga, in addition to the
Passat.
“The
study
underscores
Volkswagen’s commitment to
Tennessee, and we are excited to
grow our team and the
Chattanooga plant as we gear up
for the production of our first-ever
seven-passenger SUV for the U.S.
market,” said Christian Koch,
President and CEO, Volkswagen
Chattanooga.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Stephen
Jones chuckles at the memory of
being mediator between his dad
—yeah, Cowboys owner Jerry
Jones — and headstrong former
coach Bill Parcells.
“It was tough, tough, tough,”
the No. 2 man in Dallas’ front
office says. “But it was worth it.”
And it helped shape the chief
operating officer/executive vice
president/director of player personnel into what he is today: the
person widely perceived to be calling the shots for the Cowboys.
They’ve picked foundation over
flash in recent drafts and decided
not to stress the salary cap with a
big contract for DeMarco Murray
after he led the NFL in rushing for
a playoff team. Stephen Jones
was front and center in those
decisions.
The 50-year-old Jones finds
talk of his leading role “interesting.” He believes little has
changed in 26 years of Jerry
Jones as owner, general manager
and ultimate arbiter of the
Cowboys, for better or worse. But
he doesn’t completely squash the
notion.
“I think probably the biggest
way things have changed is that
he probably has more confidence
in me,” Jones says. “Although he
might not want to say that he didn’t have confidence in me 20
years ago, because I think he did.
I think he listened to me a lot. But
did he listen as much? Maybe
not.”
The younger Jones was a 24year-old chemical engineering
graduate of Arkansas — where he
and his dad played football —
when Jerry Jones bought
America’s Team in 1989, fired
coach Tom Landry and brought
instant notoriety to a family that
quietly made its fortune in oil and
gas.
Admittedly “green behind the
ears” as he found himself making
decisions alongside then-coach
Jimmy Johnson, Stephen Jones
was confident in his football background.
Looking back now, Jones figures a healthy part of his growth
came in the four years Parcells
was with the Cowboys. His flamboyant father and a Super Bowl-
Stephen Jones
winning coach who famously
clashed with front offices on personnel issues elsewhere didn’t
want any “confrontational disagreement,” as the younger Jones
put it. So he got to play middle
man.
“It helped me in a lot of ways,”
Jones said. “Because I had to
have some real heated, heated
visits with both Jerry and Bill.”
And he wasn’t afraid of them,
says Jeff Ireland, the Cowboys’
director of scouting in those days.
Ireland remembers the Cowboys
deciding to do something different
in the draft room and needing to
tell Parcells, who Stephen Jones
says was the architect of several
changes that made Dallas better.
“Stephen didn’t wait for his
dad,” Ireland said. “He said, ‘Hey,
look, Jeff, we’re going to go and do
this and it’s not going to be a real
happy time for us.’ He knows how
to handle people. And he knows
how to do it without disrespecting
them either.”
Jones says his dad still has the
final decision. That included last
year when he resisted his headline-grabbing urge during the
draft and passed on Johnny
Manziel for Zack Martin, a quiet
workhorse offensive lineman who
became the club’s first rookie AllPro since Calvin Hill in 1969.
The more relevant draft room
drama, Stephen Jones says, is
Same Sense of Community,
Stronger United.
For more than 100 years, First National Bank has proudly served the East Tennessee community.
Now, we are joining forces with United Community Bank to provide customers with even more personalized
attention. With more teams and resources, customers will have more options than ever before.

the buildup to each pick. Jones
has tried to make his voice heard
when his dad gets anxious about
moving up.
“We’re going to be good here, I
think,” Stephen Jones might say.
“Can you assure me one of
these guys ...” his dad might
counter.
“I can’t assure you of anything.
I don’t know what these people ...”
son might shout back.
“Well then we need to go get
‘em,” father might say.
“So it’s a little fun dynamic in
there when he and I are visiting,”
Stephen Jones adds, smiling.
“But he’s a good listener. And I
mean he listens more. In the past,
he might not have had the confidence in me to listen as much, or
(to) someone in the room.”
Jerry Jones said as much
before this year’s draft, when the
Cowboys pushed aside their
needs at running back and went
with Connecticut cornerback
Byron Jones in the first round.
“Bottom line, without getting
into it a lot, Stephen has
absolute, tremendous influence
on these decisions that are ultimately made in this organization
and everything we do,” says Jerry
Jones, also noting the input of
coach Jason Garrett. “It would be
madness for two people to work
as hard as these guys do, not to ...
be influenced by what they are
telling you.”
Since winning three Super
Bowls in four years in the 1990s,
the Cowboys at times trashed the
salary cap trying to keep the core
of those teams together, and had
plenty of draft busts.
But Morris Claiborne (2012) is
the only first-round pick from
2010-14 that hasn’t made a Pro
Bowl. And the Cowboys came
away from this year’s draft feeling
like they had three first-rounders
in Jones, defensive end Randy
Gregory, and lineman La’el
Collins.
Gregory, a projected top 10
pick, fell to the end of the second
round over off-field issues, and
Collins picked Dallas as a free
agent when he went undrafted
after he was named in a police
investigation in which he isn’t a
suspect.

Memorial gardens offer a peaceful
and healing place to remember loved
ones and experience the serenity
associated with those fond memories.
The bonds people create at Life
Bridges in Cleveland, an agency that
provides services for people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities, are being honored with a
memorial garden in remembrance of
residents who have passed away. Life
Bridges CEO, Diana Jackson, said:
“The whole idea was to have a peaceful place to remember the residents
we had the privilege to serve who
have passed away. There are markers
for several of our residents whose
final resting places are not accessible
to our staff or the individuals we
serve. We have placed markers of
remembrance for them in the garden.
Future plans include the prospect of
a memorial listing all of the individuals served who have passed away.
Everything in the garden from the
grass, plants, and tree to the concrete sidewalk, swing, and butterfly
ornaments were donated through
fund raisers and contributions from
supporters. Our staff, led by former
staff member, Marietta Glen, garnered the donations and completed
all the work required to complete the
garden. It was truly a labor of love.”
Because a memorial garden lives
on and offers live plants that, by
their nature, provide soothing comfort, individuals at home as well as
places that provide assisted living
and other agencies across the country are creating living memorial gardens to provide a tranquil place of
reflection — many with momentos,
monuments and plaques. Jackson
said, “I wonder if some day we might
have a stone to list everyone on who
passed away. It’s a thought.”
In addition to the Memorial Garden
Jackson was happy to announce that
a written history of Life Bridges first
40 years will soon be available in a
hardcover edition through Pathway
Press. The book is a project that took
four years to come to fruition. Life
Bridges has been serving individuals
with intellectual and developmental
disabilities since 1973.
Timeworn outhouse offers insight into the past
By BETTIE MARLOWE
Banner Staff Writer
It’s been standing on the
Swafford farm for more than 75
years, but its use was discontinued decades ago when indoor
plumbing replaced the necessary
room — the outhouse. The lonely
structure still has all the vital elements, including a lid, which
used to feature the picture of two
six-guns with barrels facing each
other.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
was the creator of the program
which made it possible for rural
families to have “adequate facilities” in order to attend to the necessary things.
His New Deal Program included
the
Works
Progress
Administration — the most
famous since it affected the lives
of so many people. It gave jobs to
more than 8.5 million people at
an average salary of $41.57 a
month. (Note: Some people nicknamed the program “We putter
along” and other uncomplimentary things. ) They built roads and
bridges, public buildings such as
airports, parks ... and outhouses.
Jim Swafford, the great-grandson of the original owner of the
farm, said the workers came in
with precut lumber — like prefab
buildings — and quickly had the
outhouses up for those who
wanted them. Workers stayed in
the CCA camp on property on
Peerless Road where St. Therese
Catholic Church is now located.
In addition to building, mattresses were made in a sewing
room set up at Hopewell Baptist
Church and conservation workers planted pine and locust trees
wherever needed.
Swafford was only 2 or 3 years

Speaking on special days
From the mouths of babes
often comes the most remarkable
wisdom, probably because its
source is still untainted by some
of the harsher realities of life. I
was reminded of this last week
when I had the privilege of spending a few days with Evan.
Standing about 30 inches tall, at
the ripe old age of 2, he either is
living life moment by moment to
the fullest or he is asleep. Keeping
up with him is a challenge that
leaves even the fittest adult
exhausted, by the end of the day.
But the exhaustion is well
worth the effort. There are few
things in life more enjoyable than
just watching and wondering
what might come forth from this
bundle of unbridled energy.
The second day of my stay with
Evan, he rose at his usual time
(6:30 a.m.) and announced to his
mother and anyone else in the
world who might be listening,
that “Today is a special day.”
“Really,” his mother questioned, “Why is that?”
With eyes dancing he replied,
“Because I want it to be.”
Wow!, I thought to myself. Is it
really that easy? Can we make
our days special simply because
we want them to be? If that’s the
case, then why do so many individuals rarely experience any
days that could be considered
special?
Ask most people how their day
is going and you will hear anything but the word “special.”
“Getting by, I guess.” “Hanging in
there.” “Don’t ask.” “Do you really
want to know?” “I’ll be glad when
this week is over.” “My life sucks.”
“OK.”
If we are privileged to live 75
years, even then we will live a
grand total of only 3,910 weeks.
That’s 3,910 Mondays, 3,910
Tuesdays, 3,910 Wednesdays —
you get the idea.
Unfortunately, many are convinced that some days just can’t
be good because of the particular
day of the week. “I hate
Mondays,” many bemoan.
Well, if you hate Mondays,
there goes the potential for 3,910
days of your life being special.
If every Wednesday is nothing
more than a “hump day” then it,
too, won’t be special.
Hating both Mondays and
Wednesday means that 7,820
days of your life won’t be special.
Many throw in another day of
the week as a total waste, making
it virtually impossible to enjoy
any special days for nearly half of
their lives.
Knowing how quickly the
weeks fly by as we age, I wonder
why anyone would want to waste
even one Monday or Wednesday
or any other day for that matter.
Our days are special for one
reason and one reason only. Evan
was right. We choose to make
each day special simply because
we want it to be. It’s really that
simple. It’s really our choice.
Repeatedly we are reminded
that circumstances, money, fame,
and opportunity will not and cannot make life special. If we have a
special day, it’s because we have
chosen to make that day special.
Knowing that we only have so
many days to live, why waste
even one?
Today is going to be special day
for me.

Whole Foods: New chain to
be named for ‘365’ store brand
NEW YORK (AP) — Whole Foods
says it will name its new chain of
smaller stores with lower prices
after its “365 Everyday Value”
house brand.
Co-CEO Walter Robb tells The
Associated Press that the chain will
be named “365 by Whole Foods
Market,” a nod to the products
already sold by the grocery chain.
Outhouse
From Page 29
old when his dad and mother
moved the family from town to
the country. His grandfather and
his grandfather's brother shared
a 242-acre farm which they
bought from their mother (their
father died in 1893). Swafford's
grandfather bought 132 acres of
the farm. Upon his death this
acreage was divided between his
children. Swafford's father
received 45 acres which were
connected to the 15 he already
owned, making a total of 60 acres
for his portion. Swafford's father
then built the family home. That
was in the 1940s.
The outhouse served the family
until indoor plumbing was
installed when Swafford was
about 10 years old. The original
pit filled up, so the outhouse had
to be moved once — about six feet
over — with the help of a team of
mules. (Visitors can see that the
grass is still greener in that spot.)
It is wryly noted the catalog did
not serve a needed purpose —
they had regular toilet tissue.
After Swafford married, he and
his wife, Frances, and son Brian
lived in Prospect a few years.
Later they rented a house from
Swafford's parents which eventually became theirs. Swafford
worked for Cleveland Express
Trucking Company for 43 years
in accounting until the company
went out of business, so when he
turned 64 years, he retired. Both
he and Frances work part time for
Grissom Funeral Home.
The farm on old Georgetown
Road has been the home of six
generations. The original house
has been renovated and remodeled through the years, and others have been added, but the outhouse and an old barn still
remain untouched — reminders
of a time when water was carried
from a spring or well and electricity was not part of the utilities
plan. The weathered boards have
never known paint, but they have
aged gracefully.
Today, 40 acres belong to Jim
and Frances; the remaining 20
acres belongs to son Brian and
wife, Patty, and grandchildren,
Cody and Courtney. This is where
the outhouse stands today.
The WPA put more men to work
than women — only 13 1/2 percent were women in 1938 — the
peak year. The women, however,

did the lower-paying jobs such as
sewing, bookbinding, caring for
the elderly, nursery school,
school lunch programs and recreation. When Ellen Woodward,
director of the women’s programs, pushed for women to be
included in the Professional
Projects Division, the women
began receiving more equitable
treatment.
At first, federal support of
artists was held up, but Harry
Hopkins, ex-social worker, moved
to help “tens of thousands of
artists” — creating funding for
2,566 murals and 17,744 pieces
of sculpture which decorate public buildings. Art, theater, music
and writing programs brought
more art to more Americans than
ever before or since, according to
information provided by TV’s
“American Experience” history
series.
A poem was sent to Roosevelt
to express appreciation for his
efforts concerning low-income
families:
“I think that we shall never see
A president like unto thee ...
Poems are made

But God, I think,
made Franklin D.”

Faith Hope Consolo: The changing state of luxury
NEW YORK (AP) — For more
than 30 years, real estate broker
Faith Hope Consolo has trekked
up and down side streets and
combed through clothing racks
at stores all over the world to
find new fashion designers to
bring to the U.S., from Jimmy
Choo to Paul Smith to Giorgio
Armani.
As a result, Consolo has
helped to revitalize Madison
Avenue and Fifth Avenue as
hubs of luxe shopping as well as
reshape other retail corridors of
the country from Los Angeles’
Rodeo Drive to Boston’s Newbury
Street.
Consolo, now chairman of
Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s
retail group, has seen many
trends in her position on the
front lines of luxury spending:
from the shop ‘til you drop” mentality that lasted for two decades
until the Great Recession when
shoppers retrenched or hid their
purchases in brown paper bags.
Now, she’s witnessing the postrecession preference for splurging on vacations rather than
dressing head-to-toe in designer
duds.
The changing habits have
helped to slow luxury sales.
According to consulting firm
Bain & Co., global sales of personal luxury goods at constant
exchange rates were expected to
rise 4 percent to 224 billion
euros, or $245 billion, last year,
lower than the 7 percent growth
rate from the previous year. Still,
the luxury business has more
than recovered since the downturn. According to MasterCard
SpendingPulse data, which
tracks sales across all kinds of
payments, luxury sales in the
U.S. hit $12.7 billion last year,
compared with $11.4 billion in
2007.
In a wide-ranging interview
with The Associated Press,
Consolo discussed Birken bags,
tourist spending, the shopping
habits of millennials and more.
Here are excerpts edited for
length and clarity.
Q. You brought Jimmy Choo
to the U.S. back in the early
1990s. Back then, he was
designing shoes for Lady Diana
and other royal family members.
How did you find him?
A. I got lost (in London). I see
this one shoe in the window. It
was a beautiful, beautiful shoe.
Q. What’s the current state of
the luxury business?
A. It’s bastardized. I think people equate luxury just with price.
Luxury (in the 1980s and 1990s)
was different. Luxury was less
available. It was more about
quality than quantity. It was
more of a special customer. Now,
luxury is not only mass produced, every designer lends his
name. You can buy the Oscar
name for a bottle of perfume.
Q. Other big challenges?
A. E-commerce remains something luxury must work hard to
embrace, and consignment
stores do provide both a challenge and opportunity. A great
concern going forward is the
staggering amount of student
debt millennials are accumulating. The future affluents
(because
they’re
doctors,
lawyers, MBAs) can’t enter the
luxury shopping market as early
as previous generations because
they’re paying off tens, if not
hundreds of thousands of dollars, of student loans. The millennials who have a moneyed
background will keep things
going, but aspirational shoppers
will remain just that for a while.
Q. The affluent shopped ‘til
they dropped and then pulled
back during the financial meltdown. There’s a shift in priorities, right?
A. Before, they were buying
these products like they were
bread. It was more about the
consumption and having ten of
this and eight of that instead of
getting a unique black lizard
bag...It will never go back. The
shift in the trend now is not that
fashion is out. It’s about entertainment. It’s about going on
very
luxurious
holidays.
Immersing in ridiculous events
— with food and fashion. It’s
about the experience. That’s why
Hermes still shines because you
still can’t get the Birken bag —
no matter what time and when
you want to do it.
Clothing is a challenging market. They’re still buying pieces.
But the old days where people
bought their entire wardrobe
from Armani, or Valentino or
Chanel, that doesn’t happen
now.
Q. Which luxury brands do
you most admire and why?
A. Hermes and Chanel,
because they have remained true

to themselves. They didn’t introduce bridge or even lower-priced
lines to attract the dollars of the
aspirational shoppers. And thus
they didn’t lose those dollars
during the downturn. Tiffany, on
the other hand, courted that
customer, and literally paid the
price during the downturn. It
still is. Let’s see what will happen in the timepiece sector as
they react to the Apple watch —
and if Apple’s luxury version will
succeed.
Q. Is part of your job educating landlords about new designers?
A. A lot of owners before were
less sophisticated about the
brands, although they owned
beautiful buildings on Madison
and Fifth. They didn’t travel the
world. I remember bringing
Prada and this owner said to me,
‘Faith, what’s wrong with you?
Who would pay that money for
nylon shoes?’ He owned like 50
buildings.
(For Gianni Versace), I called
the owner. He kept screaming at
me, ‘Johnny who? I’m not leasing to anybody called Johnny.’ I
said, ‘No. It’s Gianni.’ I had to go
there and literally paint the picture.
When I made one of the first
Fresh deals, they didn’t want it
either. I went to the landlord’s
office. I brought the soap. I
brought the hand cream. I told
everyone in the office, ‘Stay here,
smell this.’ I was putting hand
cream on everyone.
Q. Prices for designer goods
have soared.
A. The everyday Manolo
(shoes) used to be $200 to $400.
Now, it’s $600 to $800.
Q. Are prices stabilizing now?
A. Yes. They feel they’re not
reaching the higher-end consumer. There’s been some talk
from some European houses to
lower prices.
Q. Macy’s and others have
cited lower levels of spending
among international tourists.
Any worries?
A. We will be able to evaluate
that over the summer. I think it’s
going to affect the department
stores more than the brand
stores. I think the brand store is
what attracts them. So they will
buy one Chanel bag, one pair of
Nike sneakers.

Partnerships, programs provide space for artists to share
By JENNIFER FORKER
Associated Press
Emily Free Wilson was renting
space in an old Helena, Montana,
brick building where other artists
worked, when she began hosting
community events and kids’ summer art camps.
“I remember my friend, a sculptor, telling me, ‘Emily, you’re running an art center!’ And I said,
‘No, I don’t want to!’” Free Wilson
recalls.
Then she thought more about
it: She did like sharing her space,
organizing events and collaborating with other artists. So she and
her husband, Matt Wilson,
bought and renovated a former
mortuary. In moved their company, Free Ceramics, which produces pottery notable for colorful,
playful dots. Other artists —
painters, a sculptor, a furniture
refinisher and crafters — also
moved in, lured by 90-cents-asquare-foot studio spaces.
Free Ceramics has rented its
events and gallery space — with a
vaulted ceiling and hardwood
floors — for a square-dancing
potluck fundraiser, a preschool
graduation ceremony, a furniture
refinishing class and more. The
place is booming.
“It’s really important to have
spaces like this in the world —
places that encourage creativity
and deepen that artistic spirit
that people need to share,” says
Free Wilson.
Unusual studio arrangements
and community art centers exist
nationwide to provide artists with
free or reduced-cost space and a
way to share their work with the
public.
For example, the non-profit
Ponyride has for several years
provided space in a 30,000square-foot Detroit warehouse to
socially conscious artists and
entrepreneurs at a mere 20 cents
to 25 cents per square foot.
Now Ponyride is launching an
artists-in-residency
program:
Vetted artists will receive a
stipend, studio space and lodging
at the warehouse. In return,
they’ll need to document their
work and provide a workshop or
seminar for the community.
Dear Heloise: I have wroughtiron patio chairs that have a patterned weave design. I noticed a
GREEN MILDEW STAIN on them.
Can you offer advice on how to
clean them? The chairs sit outside year-round, without covers.
I look forward to reading your
hints in The Columbus Dispatch.
Thank you! — Jane Beavers,
Columbus, Ohio
Jane, how nice to hear from
you. I’ve visited your lovely city
several times and can still see the
beautiful Ohio State Theatre!
If you are seeing green (the
color on the chair, not you!), then
it is probably mildew. Of course,
bleach does clean mildew, but
don’t use it on wrought iron. So,
let’s go to my most beloved VINEGAR! Yes, it’s a very mild form of
acetic acid (usually 5-6 percent,
or sometimes 9 percent) that you
can dilute with water, but it
should kill mildew without harming the wrought iron.
First, brush off as much of the
“green” as you can. Next step is
cleaning: Add 4 cups of vinegar
to 1 gallon of water and add a
squirt of dish soap. Mix well and
start cleaning!
Scrub well, and get into as
many of the crevices as you can.
Let sit until dry, rinse with a
hose, scrub a little more, then
rinse again. That should do it! —
Hugs, Heloise
NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy
Fallon spends his evenings as
host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,”
having fits of laughter with
Bradley Cooper, pretending to be
a teenage girl whose favorite word
is “Ew!” and coming up with hashtags, but the favorite part of his
day is when he’s at home, reading
to his almost 2-year-old daughter,
Winnie Rose.
“It’s a really good bonding
moment. I know I’m going to miss
those days,” Fallon said.
He happily listed the titles from
his inventory of children’s books
like “Moo, Baa, La La La!” by
Sandra Boynton. “Oh my gosh, it’s
a great book,” he gushed.
Now he’s adding his own book
Rockett of Denver said her recent
PlatteForum residency allowed
her to build larger-scale sculpture.
“I’ve never had the space to do
so, and grew immensely from the
experience,”
says
Rockett.
“Working with the youth became
the most important aspect for me.
Their creative range anchored the
playfulness of my work.”
A short drive from Denver, the
town of Breckenridge, Colorado,
provides artists with studio and
living space in its BreckCreate
program, which includes a new
$10 million Breckenridge Arts
District campus with studios for
ceramic, glass, textile, and other
local and guest artists to share
their work. Artists from around
the country are invited to work at
this 1-acre arts campus for two to
four weeks. Additionally, three
small artists’ studios are available
for $250 a month.
Artists from cities “love the idea
of being in a mountain setting
and being able to focus on their
work,” says Robb Woulfe,
BreckCreate’s president and
CEO. “Everyone can be inspired
in this environment.”
Painters, printmakers, and
mixed-media and fiber artists
from
Indiana,
California,
Washington and Hawaii will work
in Breckenridge this summer and
early fall.
The payback for Breckenridge?
Woulfe and town leaders hope an
expanded arts culture will establish the ski town as a year-round
arts destination.
Also providing artists with inexpensive work space: Grace Farms
opens in October in New Canaan,
Connecticut, in part to help
artists pursue and share their
artwork among 80 acres of woodlands, wetlands and meadows
open to the public.

to that inventory — “Your Baby’s
First Word Will Be Dada” (Feiwel &
Friends).
“It’s a secret mission that no
one really discusses when you
have a baby. What’s baby’s first
word gonna be? These days the
baby’s first word is normally
iPad,” he joked.
Fallon said he was blatantly
obvious trying to get Winnie to say
“dada.”
“I tried to trick my daughter
into saying ‘dada’ because I
wanted it to be her first word. I
would call everything ‘dada.’ I’d
point to her bottle and go ‘dada,’
and I’d point to her food and say
‘dada.’ I really didn’t care if she
was smart or anything. I just
wanted her to say that for the
history books,” he said.
His efforts didn’t work. Fallon
said her first word was mama.
(His wife is producer Nancy
Juvonen.)
Fallon, 40, said he also picked
up on what young ones like about
story time.
Fallon said his favorite quality
about his own father is his sense
of humor.

Hi, Heloise: Please spread the
word: The term “ground” is different from “floor.”
I always hear it said “floor,” as
in “that person fell to the floor.”
Yet the person is standing outside in the yard! I get tired of
hearing the wrong terms used! —
Louisa G., via email
Louisa, here is a thought:
They could fall to the ground (dirt
and soil, terra firma), sidewalk,
floor, driveway, boat deck or reef.
What is it if there is a garden
and grass outside up on the
penthouse level of a building? Is
that “ground”? — Heloise
A sticky situation
Dear Heloise: We bought a
new love seat and sofa. I worried
about keeping them clean with
two dogs and a cat. I purchased
plastic rug-runner material (at
an office-supply store) with the
gripper spikes on one side.
I place the runner upside
down on the furniture at night
and when I leave. The animals
don’t like the spikes and don’t get
on the furniture anymore. —

KAthY in Manchester, N.H., sent a picture of her ADORABLE
bunny rabbit, Mr. Rabbit, at Easter. Kathy says, “I talk to him and ask,
‘Are you a pretty rabbit?’ and he chatters back — he understands!”
“We want them to leave their
imprint on Detroit if they’re not

Executive

Karla
Henderson.
In Denver, the non-profit
PlatteForum hosts a single artist
for two months four times a year.
What the artist receives: free lodging, a stipend and ample studio
space. In return, the artist provides open studio hours, and
hosts an exhibit or workshop.
The program also links artists
with Denver children who are
struggling in school or don’t feel
they fit in.
“They’re the kids at low-performing schools who need to reengage in school and learning and
in themselves,” says Judy
Anderson, an artist and artistic
director at PlatteForum, who
founded the non-profit in 2002.
Collaborating with musicians,
dancers, painters and poets, she
hopes, will provide hope and
direction for the children.

Maggie Evans speaks at the
Ocoee Chapter DAR meeting
The Ocoee Chapter Daughters
of the American Revolution held
its June meeting recently at the
Elks Lodge. Regent Laura Boyd
presided and Maureen Jaggers led
the singing of the national
anthem. Guests were introduced.
Boyd presented a certificate of
award for “Service to Veterans” to
Robert Lee Goins. He was also the
recent recipient of the 2015 “Bill
Norwood Veterans Service Award,”
presented by the Southeast
Tennessee
Veterans
Home
Council.
Boyd reminded members to
register for the DAR East
Tennessee Workshop to be held in
August. She encouraged members
to observe Flag Day on June 14.
and announced the 124th
Continental Congress tol be in
Washington on June 24–28. This
year marks the 125th anniversary
of the founding of Daughters of
the American Revolution.
Members individually and
chapters as a group are encouraged to participate in service projects in honor of this milestone.
Members are asked to enter their
service hours into DAR’s
“Celebrate America! Online Tally”
web link to help the National
Society reach our goal of 10 million hours of community service.
Vice-regent Jane Lucchesi
introduced the speaker, chapter
member Maggie Evans, whose
topic was “Flag Folding and Flag
Etiquette.” Evans told of her
father who served on the USS
West Virginia during World War II.
Along with many other engagements, the ship provided fire-support for Marines on shore during
the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Evans passed around a letter
written by her father to his parents on Sept. 2, 1945, while he
was on board ship in Tokyo Bay.
In another part of Tokyo Bay on
that same day, Japan’s envoys
signed the Instrument of
Surrender on the USS Missouri.
The West Virginia remained there
for several weeks as part of the
occupation, with the crew anxiously waiting to finally come
home.
She described the “homeward
bound pennant” a U. S. Navy ship
flies when heading home after
having been at sea outside the
United States continuously for
270 or more days. Normally, the
“commission pennant” is the
emblem of a warship, and in the
U.S. Navy, this pennant is flown
day and night at the loftiest point
from the time the ship is put into
commission. But from at least the
early 19th century, it has been the
custom of ships returning from a
long overseas deployment to fly an
extra long “homeward bound pennant” specially made by the crew.
This pennant is flown instead of
the “commission pennant” from
the time the ship heads to a U. S.
port until sunset on the day of
arrival at that port.
The “homeward bound pennant” is one foot in length for each
member of the crew who has been
on duty outside the U. S. for nine
months or more, not to exceed the
length of the ship itself. Once the
ship arrives home, the pennant is
divided among the crew members.
Evans displayed her father’s section of the pennant, a deep blue
square with a large white star in
the middle.
She demonstrated the proper
way to fold the United States Flag
for a flag-folding ceremony, and
explained the symbolic meaning
of each fold. She closed by reading
the third stanza of the “Star
Spangled Banner,” and emphasizing our country is “the land of the
free, because of the brave.”
A sympathy card was signed by
the group to send to member
Joyce Maupin whose brother and
last surviving sibling, Kermit
Maupin, passed away earlier in

the week. Members and guests
also signed a card sending “get
well” wishes to the husband of
member Linda Boyd.
The May/June issue of
American Spirit has an interesting
article about “Brides’ Boxes.”
Brides of the 18th- and early
19th-centuries had no photographs to document their weddings. Instead, they had handcrafted, painted boxes given to
them on their wedding day to
store special treasures from their
wedding.
The brides’ box tradition started
in the mid 1700s when artists
began painting elaborate, wedding-themed designs on boxes.
The boxes were made of thin
strips of wood that had been
soaked in hot water to make the
wood pliable. The boxes typically
ranged in size from three to 19
inches in length and held keepsakes such as pressed flowers,
ribbons, lace, jewelry and other
mementos.
Conservation Chairman Ann
Cherry provided tips for the conservation of clean water which
include turning off the faucet
while brushing teeth or shaving
and taking shorter showers.
Lucchesi reported that the realization of the local veterans’ home
is a slow process, but that it is
moving along.
During the business session of
the meeting, Gussie Ridgeway
read the minutes of the May meeting. Linda Foster gave the treasurer’s report and announced she
is now accepting dues for the
coming year. Registrar Helen
Riden reported that application
papers for Jane Rumbaugh have
been approved.
Following a drawing for door
prizes, Regent Boyd thanked hostesses Leigh Ann Boyd, Linda
Boyd, Maggie Evans and Nancy
Guinn and adjourned the meeting. Following the adjournment, a
baby shower was held for Leigh
Ann Boyd, with members and
guests being treated to cake and
ice cream.

Dollywood’s Splash Country to host Water Safety Day
PIGEON FORGE — With summer vacations underway, families
throughout East Tennessee are
spending much more time in the
water.
Dollywood’s
Splash
Country, which celebrates its
15th anniversary season in 2015,
will host Water Safety Day on
June 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Event
partners
LeConte
Medical Center, The Dr. Robert F.
Thomas Foundation, WATE-TV
and Star 102.1 will join
Dollywood’s Splash Country to
present this exciting event where
guests cannot only learn about
water and sun safety from multiple informational and interactive
vendor booths, but also can help
set a new world record during the
sixth annual World’s Largest
Swimming Lesson.
This worldwide swim lesson
happens at water parks around
the world at 10 a.m. Dollywood’s
Splash Country invites swimmers
of any age or ability level to take
part in the lesson to become part
of the Guinness World Record
attempt. In 2014, water parks
from around the world again
broke the record for the largest
simultaneous swim lesson,
standing at 36,564 participants
from 22 different countries.
“Last year’s Water Safety Day
proved to be a very effective way
for LeConte Medical Center and
the Dr. Thomas Foundation to
provide important health education to the families in our community,” said LeConte Medical
Center President/CAO Jenny
Hanson. “We are continuing to
partner with Dollywood’s Splash
County in an effort to keep the
children of Sevier County healthy
and safe this summer and
beyond.”
Dollywood’s Splash Country
will open its gates at 9:30 a.m. to
allow Water Safety Day participants to begin visiting the information booths. Each participant
will receive a Splash Pass upon
check-in, allowing them to receive
a prize at each booth throughout
the water park. Once the participants have completed their
Splash Pass, it can be turned in
for the chance to win two season
passes to Dollywood’s Splash
Country.
“Dollywood’s Splash Country is
so proud to be a host location for
the WLSL again this year during
Water Safety Day,” said
Dollywood’s Splash Country
General Manager Mike Brown.
“Safety, in and out of the water, is
our No. 1 concern, and our goal
with this event is to educate chil-
dren and parents alike on how to
have a safe but also fun summer!”
Water Safety Day and all of its
partners join forces worldwide
with participating aquatic facilities and water parks to take part
in the sixth annual World’s
Largest Swimming Lesson.
Drowning is the second leading
cause of accidental death of children ages 1 to 14.
Research shows that if a child
doesn’t learn to swim before the
third grade, he or she likely never
will. Research shows participation in formal swimming lessons
can reduce the risk of drowning
by 88 percent among children
ages 1 to 4. The WLSL partners
with Dollywood’s Splash Country
and other water parks and aquatic facilities around the world to
bring this issue to light and to
spread the message that swimming lessons save lives.
Water Safety Day and WLSL
registration begins at 8:30 a.m.
on June 18. The front gate opens
to guests at 9:30 a.m. Guests
should arrive early to register
before the WLSL begins at 10
a.m. Dollywood’s Splash Country
admission is required to participate in Water Safety Day and may
be purchased on-site or online at

Study: Rape
prevention
training works,
cuts rape risk
Beyond Lyme, new
illnesses are reason
to watch for ticks
By Marilynn Marchione
AP Chief Medical Writer
A program that taught college
women ways to prevent sexual
assault cut in half the chances
they would be raped over the next
year, a Canadian study found. It
was the first large, scientific test
of resistance training, and the
strong results should spur more
universities to offer it, experts
say.
Five percent of freshman
women who went through the
four-session program said they
had been raped during the following year, compared to 10 percent
of others who were just given
brochures on assault prevention.
Attempted rapes also were lower
— about 3 percent in the training
group versus more than 9 percent
of the others.
The results are “startling,” said
a prominent researcher on sex
assault with no role in the study,
University of Arizona psychologist
Mary Koss.
“Universities should move right
away to figure out how they can
implement a program like this,”
she said. “We don’t have to look at
women as being so helpless and
vulnerable. There are tools to
empower women that can dramatically cut their risk of rape.”
The study involved about 900
students, ages 17 to 24, at the
universities of Windsor, Guelph
and Calgary. It was funded by the
Canadian Institutes of Health
Research and the University of
Windsor.
Results
are
in
Thursday’s New England Journal
of Medicine.
THE PROBLEM
Researchers say as many as 20
percent of women are sexually
assaulted during their college
years with the risk greatest the
first year. Women who have been
assaulted in the past are more
likely to be again, and about a
third of the women in this study
had such a history, partly
accounting for the high rate of
rape at one year.
Some universities try various
rape prevention or self-defense
programs, but many have not
been tested and some that were
tested didn’t help.
THE TRAINING
The study’s leader, psychologist
Charlene Senn at the University
of Windsor, developed the program — four, three-hour sessions
on recognizing danger, resisting
pressure to have sex, and physical self-defense.
As opposed to strangers,
“known men are responsible for
90 percent of the rapes on campus,” from dates to casual
acquaintances, she said.
Women
were
randomly
assigned to get either training or
the kind of advice and brochures
many colleges provide.
MEASURING SUCCESS
One year after training ended,
participants took an online survey largely developed by Koss, the
Arizona researcher, and widely
used by other researchers.
“It’s the best measure because
it doesn’t label, it doesn’t say,
‘have you been raped,’ but asks
about experiences such as penetration against the person’s will,”
Senn said.
Responses were grouped as
completed rape, attempted rape,
sexual coercion, attempted coercion or nonconsensual sexual
contact.
RESULTS
All types except coercion were
lower in the group given training.
Only 22 women would need to
take the program to prevent one
additional rape within a year, the
researchers calculated.
WHAT WOMEN IN THE
STUDY SAY
Bonita Loki Teixeira, 24, now a
senior at the University of
Windsor, said “knowing the cues,
how to avoid being in situations
where there can be the possibility
of harm,” and tips like keeping a
close eye on any drinks she has at
a party, were helpful. The proSee RISK, Page 36

Elder MDs prompt call for competency tests at AMA meeting
CHICAGO (AP) — With one
out of four U.S. doctors older
than 65, the American Medical
Association adopted a plan
Monday to help decide when
it’s time for aging senior physicians to hang up the stethoscope.
The nation’s largest organization of doctors agreed to
spearhead an effort to create
competency guidelines for
assessing whether older physicians remain able to provide
safe and effective care for
patients.
Doctors have no mandatory
retirement age, unlike pilots,
military personnel and a few
other professions where mistakes can be deadly. All doctors must meet state licensing
requirements, and some hospitals require age-based screening. But there are no national
mandates or guidelines on how
to make sure older physicians
can still do their jobs safely.
The AMA agrees it’s time to
change that. The plan it adopted is outlined in a report by
one of its councils, which notes
that the number of U.S. physicians aged 65 and older has
quadrupled since 1975 and
now numbers 240,000. In a
vote without debate, the AMA
agreed to convene groups to
collaborate in developing preliminary assessment guidelines, as recommended in the
report. The report says testing
should include an evaluation
of physical and mental health
and a review of doctors’ treatment of patients. It doesn’t
specify who would do the
assessing nor how often it
would take place.
“Unfortunate outcomes may
trigger an evaluation at any
age, but perhaps periodic
reevaluation after a certain age
such as 70, when incidence of
declines is known to increase,
may be appropriate,” the
report says.
It’s among more than 250
reports and resolutions prepared for the meeting, where
AMA delegates vote on which
proposals become official AMA
policy. The meeting ends
Wednesday.
The AMA’s Council on
Medical Education wrote the
report and says “physicians
should be allowed to remain in
practice as long as patient
safety is not endangered.”
Developing guidelines and
standards for monitoring and
assessing both their own and
their colleagues’ competency
“may head off a call for
mandatory retirement ages or
imposition of guidelines by
others,” the report says.
Typical age-related changes
in hearing, vision, memory
and motor skills all could
potentially affect physicians’
competence, the report says,
“I don’t myself have
any doubts about my
competency and I don’t
need the AMA or
anybody else to test
me.” — Dr. William
Nyhan, an 89-year-old
pediatrician, genetics
researcher
but notes there is no evidence
that directly links these
changes to worse outcomes for
patients.
While some physicians
think they will know when it’s
time to retire, the report says
evidence disputes that.
It’s a touchy topic for older
doctors, and not all welcome
the prospect of extra scrutiny.
“I don’t myself have any
doubts about my competency
and I don’t need the AMA or
anybody else to test me,” said
Dr. William Nyhan, an 89year-old pediatrician, genetics
researcher, runner and tennis
player who works with the
University of California, San
Diego and a children’s hospital
there.
“There are a lot of people
overlooking my activities”
already, he said. “This is a litigious society — if we were
making mistakes, we’d be
sued.”
Dr. Jack Lewis of Omaha,
Nebraska, turns 81 this week
and has worked as an internal
medicine specialist for half a
century — first with his dad,
who worked until age 83, and
now with his 41-year-old
physician son.
“My dad always told me to
watch to see if he was making
mistakes or losing it, and my
son is watching me the same
way,” Lewis said.
Lewis sees 25 to 30 patients
daily. While his “hands aren’t
as good as they used to be”
and he sometimes forgets
patients’ names, he doesn’t
think anyone should make
him leave the work he loves.
He agrees that some sort of
age-based assessment for
physicians is probably a good
idea, but said, “If I made a
mistake, I’d be the first one to
quit here.”
Dr. Louis Borgenicht, a Salt
Lake City pediatrician, was
forced by a hospital to take a
computer-based
mental
assessment test last year
before he turned 72. He decided recently to stop doing circumcisions because of a mild
tremor in his hands, but otherwise said his age doesn’t
affect his work.
“I was hoping to fail the test
so I could go to the American
Civil Liberties Union and say
this is ageism,” Borgenicht
said.
He said the test was based
on one given to airplane pilots
and wasn’t relevant to his
medical skills. Borgenicht said
he supports the AMA’s involvement in developing screening
assessments, “but it’s got to be
based on something that
makes sense.”
U.S. physicians must be
licensed to practice in the
state where they work and
requirements
generally
include an evaluation of medical education and training,
malpractice and discipline history. Licenses must be
renewed yearly or every two
years; but no competency
exams are required after initial
licensure, regardless of the
doctor’s age.
The Joint Commission, a
private accrediting group,
requires U.S. hospitals to periodically evaluate physicians’
performance. Most hospitals
do these evaluations every
nine months for physicians of
all ages, said Dr. Ana McKee,
the commission’s chief medical officer.
The University of Virginia
Health System and Stanford
Health Care, at Stanford
University, are among institutions that require additional
scrutiny of older doctors.
Stanford’s policy began last
year for physicians aged 75 or
older and requires a special
assessment every two years. It
includes a performance evaluation and a comprehensive
medical history and physical
exam, said Dr. Ann Weinacker,
a Stanford quality improvement specialist.
“It is not a pass-fail type of
screening. However, if concerns are raised, we require
the person to have further
evaluation,” she said.
The University of Virginia’s
screening began in 2011 for
doctors and some other medical staff starting at age 70 and
involves physical and cognitive
exams every two years.
“The vast majority of them
score very well,” said Dr. Scott
Syverud, chair of the university medical center’s credentials
committee.
Those who don’t “can choose
to cut down their practice or
even to retire,” Syverud said,
although he declined to say if
any have been deemed incompetent.
Syverud, 58, said the
screening began not because of
any incident, but because “we
are all aging practitioners,
including me. It’s good to have
an independent check that we
are still capable” of providing
competent care.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lyme
disease makes the headlines but
there are plenty of additional reasons to avoid tick bites. New
research highlights the latest in a
growing list of tick-borne threats
— a distant relative of Lyme
that’s easy to confuse with other
illnesses.
Monday’s study suggests a
kind of bacteria with an unwieldy
name — Borrelia miyamotoi —
should be on the radar when people in Lyme-endemic areas get
otherwise unexplained summertime fevers. It’s one of several
recently discovered diseases
linked to ticks in different parts
of the country, a reminder to get
tick-savvy no matter where you
live.
“People need to be aware of
what tick-borne diseases are in
their area,” says Dr. Peter J.
Krause of Yale University, a specialist who reviewed the research.
“And they should know how to
avoid ticks.”
WHAT’S THIS NEW
INFECTION?
The first U.S. case was reported in 2013 in New Jersey, an 80year-old cancer survivor who
over four months became
increasingly confused, had difficulty walking and lost 30
pounds. Doctors found spiralshaped bacteria in her spinal
fluid that looked like Lyme but
caused a relapsing fever more
closely related to some other tickborne illnesses. While treatable
by antibiotics — the woman
recovered — doctors know little
about B. miyamotoi.
Monday’s study offers some
clues. Researchers with Imugen
Inc., a Massachusetts testing lab,
tested blood samples from
patients in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New Jersey and
New York whose doctors suspected tick-borne illnesses and used
that lab. During the 2013 and
2014 tick seasons the lab found
97 cases of the new infection.
That’s roughly 1 percent of samples tested and close to the lab’s
detection of a better-known tick
disease named anaplasmosis,
researchers reported in Annals of
Internal Medicine. More research
is needed to determine just how
prevalent the disease is.
Researchers then analyzed
medical records from 51 of those
patients, and found symptoms
typically include a high fever,
severe headache, chills and blood
abnormalities — decreases in
infection-fighting and blood-clotting cells. About a quarter of
patients were hospitalized,
although Imugen medical director Dr. Philip Molloy cautioned
that’s probably because doctors
are seeking testing only for their
sickest, most puzzling patients.
The bacterium is carried by
deer ticks, also known as blacklegged ticks, which also can
spread Lyme and two other illnesses, babesiosis and anaplasmosis.
IT’S NOT THE ONLY
NEW WORRY
Two new tick-borne viruses
were recently discovered in the
Midwest, and neither has a specific treatment.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention has confirmed nine cases of
Heartland virus, and one
death, with other reports
under investigation, said
CDC entomologist Roger
Nasci. Symptoms include
fever, fatigue, headaches,
muscle aches, diarrhea
and low blood counts.
Identified in Missouri, the
virus also was reported in
Tennessee
and
Oklahoma, although the
Lone Star tick that
spreads it lives around
the East and Southeast.
Then
there’s
the
Bourbon virus, with simAP Photo ilar symptoms, discovIn thIs fIle Photo, a deer tick is ered last year after the

Cervical cancer vaccine might
work after just 1 shot, not 3
LONDON (AP) — Protecting
girls from cervical cancer might
be possible with just one dose of
the HPV vaccine rather than the
three now recommended, a new
analysis suggests.
The authors of the study
acknowledged it isn’t convincing
enough to change vaccination
strategies immediately. But if
their results are confirmed,
requiring just one dose of the vaccine could have a big impact on
how many girls around the world
get immunized.
Cervical cancer is the fourthmost common cause of cancer
death in women worldwide and is
estimated to kill more than
260,000 every year.
Researchers from the U.S.
National Cancer Institute and
elsewhere looked at data from
previous trials covering more
than 24,000 young women to see
how much protection they got
from one, two or three doses of
the HPV vaccine, Cervarix. They
estimated vaccine effectiveness
after about four years to be
between 77 percent and 86 percent for all the young women,
regardless of how many shots
they received.
If fewer doses could be used,
“the potential is huge to prevent
the deaths of millions of women,”
said Julia Brotherton, medical
director of the National HPV
Vaccination Program Register in
Australia.
The study was paid for by the
U.S. National Cancer Institute
and others including the vaccine’s maker, GlaxoSmithKline
PLC. It was published online
Wednesday in the journal Lancet
Oncology.
Brotherton
authored
an
accompanying commentary and
said in an email the results were
“really promising and so strong
that it is difficult to imagine”
there could be a confounding factor to explain the finding. She
said it wasn’t clear why one dose
appeared to be so effective, but
suggested the “virus-like” particle
used to make the vaccine might
have provoked a particularly
strong response from the girls’
immune systems.
Besides Glaxo’s Cervarix, a
similar vaccine, Gardasil, is sold
by Merck & Co. It’s unclear if that
vaccine would also work with
fewer doses, although experts
said that was possible since
Gardasil is also made with viruslike particles.
Glaxo welcomed the findings
but said in a statement “at this
time, we have no plans to file for
a single-dose license.”
Young girls typically start getting vaccinated around age 11 to
12 and each dose of the HPV vaccine costs about $100.

species.
HOW MANY DISEASES CAN
TICKS SPREAD?
The CDC counts 14 illnesses
linked to specific U.S. tick
species, not including the
Bourbon virus still being studied.
Lyme is the most common,
with about 30,000 cases reported
each year, although CDC has
estimated that the true number
could be 10 times higher. It’s too
early to know how widespread
the newly discovered illnesses
are. But people can be infected
with more than one tick-borne
illness simultaneously, complicating care.
NO REASON TO STAY
INDOORS
Health officials stress that it’s
important to enjoy the outdoors
and get physical activity.
Infections are more common in
some parts of the country than
others, and there are effective

cerned about any tick bite,” said
Nasci, who heads CDC’s arboviral diseases branch. “Not every
tick is infected.”
If you are bitten, remove the
tick as soon as possible.
PREVENTION IS BEST
No matter where you live,
CDC’s advice is similar.
—Shower soon after being outdoors to spot ticks more easily,
and check pets that can carry
ticks inside.
—If you’ve been in tick-infested
areas, carefully do a full-body
check, including under arms,
behind knees, ears and hair.
—When in the woods, walk in
the center of trails, avoiding
brush and leaf litter.
—Use bug repellent with DEET
on exposed skin, or wear long
pants and long sleeves.
—Discourage ticks around
homes by keeping grass cut;
removing leaf litter and brush;
and placing a barrier of wood
chips or gravel between lawns
and wooded areas.

According to USFlag.org, the
idea of an annual day specifically
celebrating the flag is believed to

schoolteacher, BJ Cigrand, in
Fredonia, Wis., arranged for his
pupils to observe June 14 (the
108th anniversary of the official
adoption of the stars and stripes)
as “Flag Birthday.”
In numerous magazines and
newspaper articles and public

years, Cigrand continued to
enthusiastically advocate the
observance of June 14 as “Flag

Georgia’s first flyer inspires
mountain Civil War novel
A retired newsman turned
author, Wally Avett says his latest novel was inspired by a littleknown bit of Georgia history.
“In the remote North Georgia
wilderness just a few years after
the Civil War, a backwoods
inventor flew primitive aircraft
from a steep, fence-rail launching ramp, years before the Wright
Brothers.
“‘Coosa Flyer’ is pure fiction,”
Avett continued. “But it’s based
on a fascinating story that is
pure fact. In Blairsville and
Union County, Ga., it’s fairly
well-known, but few folks outside
the area are aware of it.”
Micajah Clark Dyer was the
early airman who flew a craft,
most likely a glider, that eyewitnesses said resembled “a dragonfly.”
A resident of Cherokee, the
adjoining North Carolina county,
Avett said the Dyer story has fascinated him for years.
He wrote a newspaper column,
a factual piece on Dyer’s work,
which serves as a prologue for
“Coosa Flyer.” The fictional novel
then follows.
There is some folk humor and
a gentle love story, also frustration as the hero’s dream of powered flight is doomed by lack of a

Great gifts for dear old dad
(MS) — Father’s Day is right
around the corner, and the time
has come once again to begin
searching for a gift for dear old
dad.
Father’s Day gift shoppers have
long since abandoned the notion
that a new necktie is what dad
really wants, but finding a gift
that expresses your love and
appreciation for the old man can
still prove somewhat challenging.
Oftentimes, the best gifts are
the ones that fulfill a need or
want, and Father’s Day gifts are
no exception.
The following are a handful of
Father’s Day gift ideas for dads
whose hobbies run the gamut.
The Sports Nut
Dads who can’t get enough of
their favorite teams would no
doubt appreciate some new gear
or even tickets to see their
favorite teams play.
If you opt to buy tickets to a
ballgame, make it a family affair,
as dad would no doubt appreciate
an afternoon at the ballpark with
his kids and/or grandkids.
For a father who no longer lives
in the market where his teams
play, consider purchasing a
streaming service or television
package that allows the old man
to see his favorite team no matter
where he’s living.
The Movie Mogul
Some dads simply can’t get
enough of the silver screen, and a
streaming service that allows dad
to watch many of his favorite
movies on demand from the comforts of home might make the perfect gifts for film-loving fathers.
Services like Netflix and
Amazon Prime offer hundreds of
titles, and monthly or yearly subscriptions cost relatively little
money.
spending
time with dad
may be the
best gift.
The Doting Grandfather
Some men simply want to
spend more time with family,
especially grandfathers who
never tire of afternoons with their
grandchildren.
If dad has retired and moved
away, a trip to see his grandkids
might make the ideal gift this
Father’s Day.
Arrange the dates with mom so
you are not surprising dad with a
trip at a time when he already
has plans, and make sure to
schedule some fun activities for
those days when dad is in town.
The Outdoorsman
Fathers who love the great outdoors might appreciate some new
camping gear, a new fishing pole
or even some comfortable hiking
boots.
When shopping for the outdoorsman in your life, consider
which outdoor activity is his
favorite (i.e., boating, fishing,
kayaking, etc.) and try to find the
latest useful gadget or newest
product made for such enthusiasts.
If you don’t share the same
passion for the great outdoors
and are hesitant to buy something you’re unsure about, a gift
certificate to an outdoorsman or
sporting goods store will suffice.
Father’s Day is a time each
year when dads are told how
much they are loved and appreciated.
This year, a gift that implies
both those sentiments is sure to
make dad smile.

Earlier this year A-Argus

novel
“Rebel
Bushwhacker,” a fast-moving,
bloody tale based on actual
guerilla war incidents in the
mountainous
area
where
Georgia, Tennessee and the
extreme southwestern tip of
North Carolina join.
A key incident in “Rebel
Bushwhacker” was the Maddens
Branch
Massacre,
which
occurred in Tennessee’s Ocoee
River gorge just downriver from
what was to be the 1996 Atlanta
Olympic whitewater venue.
The slaughter of Union
recruits is now detailed on an
historic marker at nearby
McCaysville, Georgia.

NEW YORK (AP) — Professional
ranter Adam Carolla speaks volumes in the title of his latest
book: “Daddy, Stop Talking!”
The comedian and Guinness
World Record-holding podcaster
(for most downloads) is the father
of 9-year-old twins. He trash talks
tidbits in the book, out May 26
from HarperCollins, on just about
all aspects of parenting, from the
uselessness of ant farms to this
sage observation about young
adulthood: “Owning a house will
turn you into an a-hole.” Only he
used the real word.
In time for Father’s Day, the
newly minted 51-year-old talked
daddyhood in a recent interview,
but he predictably veered off
topic, suggesting birthdays
morph into Personal Achievement
Day, for instance, to avoid that
annual milestone for the world’s
losers and despots.
Carolla has made trips to the
best-seller lists with three previous books, including last year’s
“President Me: The America
That’s in My Head.” The new one
offers an often throwback vision
of fatherhood, as explained thusly
in the introduction:
“It used to be enough to feed,
shelter and clothe your kid. ... If
my dad had put down his cigar
and gotten off the sofa, he would
have been a saint. So this is a
book for all the other dads out
there like me, who yearn for the
days of a lower bar. You’re welcome.”
A conversation about fatherhood with Adam Carolla:
—Q: What usually happens for
you on Father’s Day? Do you get a
big Father’s Day?
Carolla: No, I’m not a big
Father’s Day guy. I’m not a big
birthday guy. I’m not a big anything guy. I sleep in and get to do
what I want for one day, probably.
Q: Why write about parenting?
Is that your last frontier?
Carolla: I’m always sort of head
on a swivel, ears wide open looking for things to talk about and
then you realize having twins,
especially, a boy and girl, bringing
them home from age 0 to now 9,
there’s a lot of observations and
there’s a lot to talk about.
Q: What do you like best about
being a dad?
Carolla: My favorite part about
being a dad is the way my kids
feel about me. I’ve been sort of
toying with this idea that I think
the moms, at least in my relationship, the mom needs to be there
and be hands on, and if they
scrape their knee the first thing
they want is mom. They need
mom full time, emotionally and
beyond.
But dad is more of a guy that
they need a really good idea of.
They know daddy’s making
money and providing their
lifestyle and keeping them safe by
getting them a safe car and a safe
house and a safe neighborhood,
so they know while mommy is
doing her things hands on,
daddy’s over here working, too,
for them but he’s just not there as
much as mommy, and then when
daddy comes home we’re going to
throw the ball around.
The idea of daddy is much more
powerful than the actual day-today of daddy. They don’t need me
there every morning making them
breakfast. They need to know that
I’m always there as an umbrella
that’s going to take care of them.
Q: What were some of the surprises when you became a parent?
Carolla: My biggest surprise as
a parent is just how these kids
are on a trajectory and we’re trying to steer this car from the
backseat. It’s sort of a narcissistic
thing to think that we could do
that much shaping. My daughter
is one personality. My son is a
completely different personality.
It’s not because she got too much
attention and he was deprived of
attention. They both got the exact
same thing: food, diet, whatever,
exposure to television.
All the nonsense you hear
about, you know, they have to listen to classical music when
they’re in their prenatal whatever.

AdAm CArollA speaks during and interview in New York.
Carolla, the father of 9-year-old twins, speaks volumes in the title of
his latest book, “Daddy, Stop Talking!”
It doesn’t amount to a hill of crap.
These kids do what they do. They
are who they are. You can screw
them up, don’t get me wrong. You
can neglect them and abuse them
and deprive them. You can screw
a kid up but as far as, ‘Oh, you’re
going to be an attorney’ or ‘You’re
going to be a rock drummer’ or
‘You’re going to be a doctor,’ at
least in my experience, they are
who they are.
Q: Tell me about your own
crappy childhood. You’ve written
about it.
Carolla: Yeah, I had a crappy
childhood in terms of my parents
were just, I don’t know, I always
kind of wonder why they had
kids. They just weren’t into it.
They weren’t into the good stuff or
the bad stuff. They just weren’t
into it. I suppose they were
depressed most of the time and
just didn’t feel like leaving the
house or doing anything for anybody.
I made sure that I wasn’t going
to make that mistake with my
kids, so I get up in the morning
and I hug them and I go, ‘Hey I’m
so glad you’re here. Isn’t this
great? I love being your dad. Isn’t
this awesome?’
My parents were just very laissez-faire so I’ve overcompensated
in that respect and try to be positive and happy.

It always seems like you never
know how allergic you are to poison ivy until you find yourself covered in it.
This was certainly the case
when working on the college farm,
when on one fenceline weedwhacking marathon I found blissfully obliterating a huge patch of
the stuff, trimming away without
noticing the flying bits of ivy I was
covered in.
You can bet that I noticed later
that evening, when the evidence of
my inattention appeared in large,
red blisters!
Now, with the summer sun
beating down on Bradley County,
many of the new poison ivy shoots
appear to be reaching right about
knee height, and many of the hairy
“climber”-type vines are covered in
their characteristic leaves.
I will assume that everyone
reading this has heard the saying,
“Leaves of three, leave them be” in
reference to avoiding poison ivy,
but an even better way to identify
this plant is to take a look at a picture (in fact, my column last week
ran right next to a picture of poison ivy — very helpful).
The dose makes the poison
Now, I wouldn’t recommend
anyone weed whacking poison ivy,
but its abundance in the landscape and unpleasant effect on
skin mean that I do occasionally
get calls from homeowners or gardeners who are interested in eradicating this noxious plant from
their landscape.
Poison ivy can appear as a
shrub or a vine, and depending on
how it presents itself in a garden,
yard or forested area the control
will be slightly different.
If the infestation is small, then it
can actually be dug by the root —
this means full protective gear
(long sleeves, pants, gloves, etc.)
and being careful of any oil
residues you pick up on your
clothes before you wash them.
Be wary — the toxic compounds
that cause reactions are found not
only in the leaves, but also in the
root and the stem.
For larger poison ivy “plantings”and vines, the treatment gets
a little more chemical.
UT Extension publications recommend cutting the stem of the
plant or a section out of the vine
and directly applying an herbicide
with the active ingredient
glyphosate (found in Roundup). Be
sure to read all the labels on the
herbicide you select and be aware
that glyphosate is “nonselective,”
meaning that it will kill all plants it
touches — both broadleaf and
grass.
Final steps
The key to much of poison ivy
eradication is caution — even
plants that are dead and dried can
cause an allergic reaction, and
should never be burned.
Interestingly, however, if poison
ivy is composted, then the reactive
oils break down over time, and can
actually contribute to a garden in
the form of organic matter. So if it’s
poison ivy that’s keeping you from
enjoying your lawn, garden or
woodlot, then know that you don’t
always have to “leave them be” —
just go prepared.

questions that you might be itching to ask about weed control in
gardens and lawns, please feel free

Kay McDaniel tennis clinics: ‘Where Dreams Come Alive’
The 24th annual Kay McDaniel
Summer Tennis Clinic was
another smashing hit. The popular tennis event had more than
400 registered participants this
year — the most in the history of
the event.
The week was filled with free
tennis lessons, prizes, certificates, group photos, and special
medals. Kids ages 6 to 13 came
from 25 cities in Tennessee and
Georgia to learn from director Kay
McDaniel and her staff of 45
instructors.
McDaniel is a former highly
ranked professional tennis player.
McDaniel captivated her audience every day by sharing inspiring personal stories of how she
overcame difficult obstacles to
reach the top echelon of professional world tennis.
From age 11, she dreamed of
becoming a professional tennis
player. Her first tennis racquet
was a Green Stamp racket that
McDaniel collected over 10,000
stamps to obtain. Her mother
sewed all her tennis clothes until
age 15 when top sponsors, such
as Fila, Adidas, TAIL and Nike
sponsored her tennis career. An
early setback was the death of her
tennis coach, and later an injury
threatened her pro career until,
she said, God miraculously
healed the injury.
McDaniel realized her dream by
competing at tennis Grand Slams
for six years against legendary
players such as Billie Jean King,
Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert
and Steffi Graf. She rose to the
top 35 in the world in singles and
held a No. 20 world ranking in
doubles.
This year’s clinic verse was
Exodus 6:7: “I’ll take you as my
own people and be God to you,”
with a theme of “Enter the faith
zone, not the safe zone.”
“The kids were so excited all
week, and it was a delight to
teach them not only the game of
tennis but the love God has for
them,” said McDaniel.
“My instructors were phenomenal. I had about seven instructors
per court and they kept the kids
moving and learning. Their hard
work, passion for my clinics, and
love for these kids deeply touch

One of the awards given at the
closing ceremony went to Zach
Bivens, a recent health and wellness
graduate
from
Lee
University. He who won the “Most
Inspiring Head Instructor” award
for his exceptional work with the
kids.
Amanda Evans received the
“Most
Inspiring
Junior
Instructor” award for her service
to the clinics.
Sophia McCready and Samuel
Sukhrobov received medals from
McDaniel for their “Most
Improved” tennis skills. Kollin
Kennedy and Lola Albarakat each
earned the “Most Christ-Like”
medals.
A special TAIL tennis skirt that
McDaniel wore while competing
at Wimbledon was given to
Sunshine Finnell for her “Most
Promising” talent. A new tennis
racquet was given to Parker
Davidson
for
his
“Most
Promising” tennis abilities.
The “Most Devoted Attendee”
award went to Jeremiah Burkey
who has attended McDaniel’s
clinics for eight consecutive
years.
After the award ceremony, a
parent commented “My son has
gained so much confidence, independence, respect for elders, and

Another couple said of the clinics, “This camp is by far the most
positive experience for children
to be involved in. It’s such a
blessing for our children and the
community.”

4-H members learn fashion and design lessons
The fashion industry is everchanging and some local girls
from Bradley County were able
to participate in a conference
focusing on fashion and design
during the first week of June.
4-H members Briar Rose
Blair, Lylia Guffey, Gabrielle
McAllister and Shelby Woods
attended the Eastern Region 4-H
Fashion and Design Conference
in Pigeon Forge from June 2
through 4. Lynne Middleton,
Extension agent, also attended
the conference.
Participants at the three-day
conference completed a number
of activities including sewing pillowcases and ear warmers,
designing and decoupaging
monogram letters, making glitter gift bags, holiday wreaths,
and bangle bracelets.
The youth shopped at the
Tanger Outlet Mall where they
also completed a smart-shopping scavenger hunt.
The 108 attendees ate one
night’s dinner at the Hard Rock
Café in Sevierville and visited
“Country Tonite” for an evening
show.
The “Country Tonite” staff did
a presentation on the costumes
and a lesson on how they design
and clothe the performers.
On the last day of the conference, the girls walked in a fashion show where they competed
in two categories. They made
their

The conference in Pigeon
Forge is held every June.
Participants pay $100 but the
remainder of the cost is offset
by the Juanita Fasola Grant

The youth attending the conference learn responsibility,
record-keeping, leadership and
citizenship skills, in addition to
fashion sense and selection of
garments.

that our flag be red, white and
blue with stars and stripes —
was officially established by the
proclamation of President
Woodrow Wilson on May 30,
1916.
While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for
years after Wilson's proclamation, it was not until Aug. 3,
1949, that President Harry S.
Truman signed an Act of
Congress designating June 14
of each year as National Flag
Day to officially celebrate Old
Glory.
What does the flag mean to
you?
To me, that Star-Spangled
Banner means freedom.
It
makes me think of the brave
Americans who have given their
lives to defend it. I feel strongly
about protecting and honoring
our flag for those reasons and
more.
If you have heard my opinion
concerning defacing or burning
our flag, you know I feel that is
a truly horrible act that is
uncalled-for and borders on
criminal behavior.
I know my feelings on the
matter are not “politically correct,” but I stand by my opinion.
Our flag has been fought for,
died for … and it should be protected. I see our nation’s flag
each time I drive up to my
office. It flies freely, just above
the Tennessee state flag.
I will always have a feeling of
pride in that flag. It represents
us all.
Our beliefs might differ on
many matters in life today;
however, I feel we should all
have respect for the Stars and
Stripes and all that it symbolizes.
I am proud to be your sheriff
and to live in the land of the
free and the home of the brave.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sip on all
the cappuccinos you want, hop
from one fitness class to the
next, catch a new flick at the
movie theater daily or rock out
at a concert every night — as
long as you pay a monthly fee.
That’s the idea behind subscription
services
Cups,
ClassPass, MoviePass and
Jukely. They’re like Netflix, but
for coffee shops, gyms, movie
theaters or concerts.
Subscribers pay a monthly
fee, and the companies work
with the venues, paying them
each time a member picks up a
coffee or catches a concert.
The services can help some
save money. ClassPass, for
example, charges up to $99 a
month for unlimited access to
fitness classes that can cost
$30 each.
But be aware, subscription
services also depend on members who pay but don’t end up
using it. So if you plan to sign
up, make sure you’ll use it.
ALL YOU CAN SWEAT
Name: ClassPass
For: Fitness fans that like to
try new classes or shake up
their workout routines.
How it works: Book a class
through the app or website and
your name will be added to the
gym’s list. There’s a big variety
of classes, including cycling,
yoga and kickboxing.
Cost: $79 a month or $99 a
month, depending on the city.
Available: In 32 cities, including New York, Los Angeles,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Las
Vegas, Houston and London.
Subscribers can go to classes in
different cities.
Restrictions: Can’t go to the
same gym more than three
times a month. There’s a $15
fee if you don’t cancel a class at
least 12 hours before it starts
and a $20 fee if you don’t show
up and don’t cancel. You can
only go to studios that are part
of the ClassPass network.
Breakeven: Going to at least
three classes a month will pay
for the subscription since fitness classes tend to cost about
$30 a pop, the company says.
BOTTOMLESS COFFEE
Name: Cups
For: Heavy coffee or tea
drinkers who prefer their caffeine fix from small cafes
instead of corporate chains.
How it works: Open the Cups
app and show to the barista.
Cost: $90 a month for unlimited basic hot coffee or tea of
any size or $120 a month for
any coffee or tea drinks at the
shop, including cappuccinos,
iced lattes or espressos.
Available: Only in New York,
but the company says it is
expanding to other major cities
this year.
Restrictions: Can only go to
coffee shops that have signed
up for Cups.
Breakeven: At least one $3
drink a day for the $90 plan or
one $4 drink a day for the $120
plan.
ROCK OUT EVERY NIGHT
Name: Jukely
For: Music lovers who want to
see under-the-radar artists or
discover up-and-coming talent.
Electronic music acts are most
popular with Jukely subscribers, followed by independent artists and bands, says
Jukely CEO and co-founder
Bora Celik. Recent shows available include rapper Q-Tip in
New York, DJ Ferry Corsten in
Austin, Texas, and hip-hop duo
Mobb Deep in San Francisco.
How it works: Each day at 11
a.m., concerts are added to
Jukely’s website and app for
shows in the next two days.
Select a concert, and your name
is placed on a guest list at the
venue.
Cost: $25 a month or $45 a
month for two tickets to bring a
friend to any show.
Restrictions: If you sign up
for a concert and can’t make it,
you must cancel ahead of time,
or your Jukely account will be
frozen for 48 hours for not
showing up.
Available: In 13 cities, includ-
ing Chicago, Denver, London,
Los Angeles, Philadelphia,
Toronto and Washington D.C.
Subscribers can go to shows in
any city.
Breakeven: Watching at least
one concert a month will pay for
subscription, since shows on
Jukely typically cost about $25
on average, the company says.
A MOVIE A DAY
Name: MoviePass
For: Film fans who want to
catch the latest release at the
theater.
How it works: Go to the movie
theater the day you want to
watch the movie, open the
MoviePass app and select which
film you want to watch. Use a
MoviePass-issued credit card to
buy the ticket.
Cost: $30 a month in most
areas. Its $35 in New York, Los
Angeles and some other locations where movie tickets tend
to be pricier.
Available: At any movie theater that accepts credit cards.
Restrictions: You can see only
one movie every 24 hours. You
can’t watch the same movie
more than once. Must commit
to subscribing to MoviePass for
12 months, though you don’t
have to pay for it all at once.
Can’t use on 3-D or Imax
movies.
Breakeven: Depending on
how much a ticket costs in your
area, watching at least three
movies a month will pay for the
subscription. That may sound
like a lot, but keep in mind that
it could also pay for itself it you
watch more movies in the summer months when studios
release their blockbusters, or in
the fall when more critically
acclaimed fare is released in
hopes of gaining some Oscar
attention.

Small town residents have mixed
feelings on No. 1 beach rank
WAIMANALO, Hawaii (AP) —
Many small-town residents
would get a kick out of their
communities being recognized
like Waimanalo recently was
when one of its beaches was
ranked No. 1 in the U.S. But
here, pride was mixed with
apprehension about visitors.
“My first reaction was ‘oh no,’”
said Dean Okimoto, founder of
Nalo Farms. “It is beautiful and
everything, but yeah, I was
thinking OK weekends — my
goodness.”
Just 4.35 square miles on
Oahu’s windward coast, about
65 percent of people in
Waimanalo are Native Hawaiian
— the second-highest concentration on the island. There’s a
scattering of businesses, some
horse stables and farms, one
supermarket and a main highway with one lane in each direction that’s become increasingly
congested over the past decade.
Waimanalo Bay Beach Park —
with its powdery sand, turquoise
water, cleanliness and convenient amenities — was named the
best beach last month on an
annual top 10 list compiled by a
coastal science professor known
as Dr. Beach. And some say the
number of visitors has already
picked up.
Stephen Leatherman, who
teaches at Florida International
University, said he was worried
about the reaction to his list.
“It’s kind of small, Hawaiian
locals mostly live there,” he said.
“People will say, ‘oh this is our
secret beach.’”
Sure
enough,
placing
Waimanalo Bay in the top spot
led to the most hate mail he’s
received. “You know what you’re
doing? You’re messing up this
beautiful Hawaiian place,” he
said was the sentiment of about
a dozen angry emails.
“It’s a beautiful place— we
want to tell everyone about it.
But how do we retain the small-
town feel and culture of
Waimanalo that’s so rooted in
Native Hawaiian culture and
practices,” said Randi Song,
spokeswoman for the Waimanalo
Health Center, in summing up
the range of emotions felt by the
beach distinction.
Beach visitors increased within a few days of the list’s release,
lifeguard David Loganbill said.
“It was an immediate impact, for
sure,” he said. “People even
telling us, ‘We heard this is the
No. 1 beach in the nation.’ They
came looking for it.” He estimates that weekday visits to the
beach have doubled.
Beaches that make it to the
top spot typically see tourism
increase by 10 to 20 percent,
Leatherman said.
Some Waimanalo residents
are banking on that.
Keoki Emond, owner of Ono
Steaks and Shrimp Shack, is
hopeful the Dr. Beach list will do
for Waimanalo what it did for
Kailua, which saw an increase in
business when it made the top
spot in 1998. Emond, who is
Native Hawaiian and a lifelong
Waimanalo resident, knows that
not everyone sees that as a good
thing. Change has been coming
to Waimanalo despite the list, he
said.
“You can’t stop the growth, no
matter what we try to do,” he
said, adding that Waimanalo’s
small size will prevent overdevelopment.
The restaurant started out as
a lunch wagon, with customers
being 75 percent local. Now it’s
an even mix of tourists and
locals. “The local people will
make business last, but the
tourists make business boom,”
he said.
Sunya Nardo doesn’t want to
see Waimanalo turn into Kailua.
“Not that long ago they were
the No. 1 beach and they got
bombarded with tourists,” she
said, watching from her front
yard as tour busses whizzed
along Kalanianaole Highway.
“Waimanalo is country. We just
want to leave it like that.”
Waimanalo
Neighborhood
Board Chairman Wilson Ho
joked about telling outsiders,
“the people are terrible, the
water is not so good.” But the
truth is, “all our lives, we knew
this was the most amazing
beach,” said Ho, who lives on
Hawaiian homestead land
across Waimanalo Beach Park.
“It is what it is. It’s nothing you
can push away.”
There’s
concern
that
Waimanalo’s size can’t accommodate an increase in tourists.
Even before the list came out,
there were instances of tour
buses pulling into the tiny
health center’s lot, taking up
patient stalls to marvel at native
plants, Song said. Busloads of
tourists taking pictures along
the highway’s median can be
dangerous for them, and lifeguards might become overwhelmed by visitors unfamiliar
with the power of the ocean, said
Waimanalo resident Louana
Kassebeer, whose family has
lived on a Hawaiian homestead
lot for five generations.
But Kassebeer said the concerns
shouldn’t
deprive
Waimanalo of its rightful spot at
the top of the beach list.
“I felt so proud,” she said.
“The beach made me what I am
today. ... My front yard was the
beach and the Koolau mountains was my backyard.”
For her, it’s more than a recreation spot —it’s a place to go
fishing or scatter ashes of loved
ones.
“It just has this soothing
view,” she said. “All you see is
blue. It just humbles you.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal appeals court ruling has
cleared the way for discount contact lens retailers to drop prices
while a legal battle is waged
between the state of Utah and
manufacturers who want to
impose minimum prices on their
products.
The decision handed down
from the 10th Circuit Court of
Appeals in Denver on Friday
comes after three of the nation’s
largest contact lens manufacturers sued to halt a hotly contested
law.
Supporters, including Utahbased discount seller 1-800
Contacts, say the newly enacted
legislation bans price fixing for
contact lenses. But opponents,
including Alcon Laboratories,
Johnson & Johnson and Bausch
& Lomb, say it’s a brazen overreach that allows discount sellers
to violate interstate commerce
regulations and skirt industry
price standards.
Utah’s attorney general has
said the companies are wrongly
driving up prices, and the law is
a legitimate antitrust measure
designed to enhance competition
and help customers. Attorney
General Sean Reyes’ office didn’t
have a comment on the decision
Friday.
The ruling allows the law to go
into effect while a legal battle
over the measure works its way
through the courts. The appeals
court did agree to fast-track the
case and new briefs are due in
the case later this month.
Donna Lorenson, a spokeswoman for Alcon, says the company is “extremely disappointed”
and maintains the law violates
interstate commerce rules.
Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman Carol Goodrich says the
company is moving ahead with
the appeal and the minimum
prices are legal.

taken for granted if you offer to do too

Col. Barry Melton takes command
of Civil Air Patrol’s Southeast region
Cleveland native
appointed to lead
largest CAP region
PEACHTREE CITY, GA. — In
front of a crowd of over 200
guests, Col. G. Barry Melton firmly grasped the flag staff held out
in front of him bearing the Civil
Air Patrol Southeast Region’s
Colors.
In speaking the words “I accept
command,” Melton began a journey of leading CAP Southeast
Region that follows in the footsteps of the 19 commanders who
have preceded him since 1948.
Following the change of command ceremony, Melton stepped
to the podium and addressed the
members for the first time as
region commander.
“I plan to continue the tradition
for the pursuit of excellence that
has been established by my predecessors,” said Melton.
“Southeast Region maintains
the highest operation tempo of all
the CAP Regions and it is important that we accomplish our mission in a safe and effective manner.”
Melton is a Cleveland native
and
graduate
of
Middle
Tennessee State University in
Murfreesboro. He earned his
bachelor’s degree in recording
industry management at MTSU
followed by his master’s degree
from Regent University in Virginia
Beach, V., for television production and programing.
The formal change of command
ceremony, a longstanding military tradition, was conducted
during the evening banquet at
the annual region conference
held on June 6 in Georgia.
CAP National Commander,
Maj. Gen. Joseph Vazquez,
selected Melton to replace outgoing SER commander, Col. Alvin J.
Bedgood, who has led the Region
since 2011.
Bedgood said, “Southeast
Region is the largest CAP Region
in terms of membership and
plays a leading role with many
CAP programs. It has been an
honor to lead the Region and its
members. We have made great
strides in improving our stewardship over the resources entrusted

CoL. G. BARRY MeLton addresses the troops for the first time
as the new CAP Southeast region commander.
to us by U.S. Air Force and the
American people. I am confident
that going forward, the CAP
Southeast Region is in capable
hands under the leadership of
Col. Melton.”
Prior to accepting the role of
region commander, Melton served
as Southeast region vice commander. His responsibilities
involved overseeing CAP activity
across the large operations area.
He joined CAP in 1986 as a charter member of the Cleveland
Composite Squadron. His distinguished CAP career includes
leadership assignments at virtually all levels of the CAP organization including service as a
National Board member and
Tennessee wing commander.
Melton said one of his goals as
incoming commander is to ensure
that tactical operations work
cooperatively between Wings.
“With the geographic diversity
we have in the region, it is vital
that we can coordinate efforts
along state borders and between
CAP regions.”
Southeast Region is comprised
of more than 9,000 members and
is one of eight that comprise the
Civil Air Patrol. The Southeast
Region includes the states of
Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi and Tennessee, as
well as the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico and United States
Virgin Islands.
Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a
nonprofit organization with
58,000 members nationwide,
operating a fleet of 550 aircraft.
CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary
role, performs about 85 percent
of continental U.S. inland searchand-rescue missions as tasked by
the
Air
Force
Rescue
Coordination Center.
CAP’s unpaid professionals
also perform homeland security,
disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of
federal, state and local agencies.
The members play a leading role
in aerospace education and serve
as mentors to more than 24,000
young people currently participating in the CAP cadet programs.

Polk County Hall
of Fame inducts
4 new members
The Polk County Hall of Fame
recently recognized alumni,
inducted new members and honored its Hall of Fame Award recipient.
Inducted into the Polk Hall of
Fame were Ronnie Davis, Danny
Rogers, the late Nancy Dorinda
Mercer Longley and the late
Blanche Inez Arthur McClary.
Ronnie Davis
Davis, who moved to the
Linsdale community when he was
5, was educated in the Polk
County Schools system. He is a
1964 graduate of Polk County
High.
Davis was a star player on the
Wildcats’ baseball and football
teams, with a little basketball
thrown in during his younger
years.
After graduating, he continued
his college education at Middle
Tennessee State University,
studying physical education.
In 1968, he returned to Polk
County to teach. His first teaching and coaching job was as girls’
basketball coach at Copper Basin.
“He didn’t know much about
girls’ basketball (at that time), but
set about learning all he could,
and especially stressing the fundamentals of the game,” noted his
nominee.
After eight seasons at Copper
Basin, he was hired by his alma
mater in Benton to coach girls’
basketball.
He was on hand when TSSAA
made the transition from the sixon-six-half-court style to the fiveon-five-full-floor style.
In his first year as the
Wildkittens’ head coach, he guided them to the school’s first
appearance in the state tournament. The Wildkittens made it to
the state tournament in five of his
first eight years, including 1981
when they won the state championship.
In his last year of coaching at
PCHS, the Wildkittens returned to
the state tournament for a sixth
time.
Davis retired from PCHS after
coaching for 42 years with a wonloss record of 933-443. He is now
coaching at Sequatchie High
School.
Danny Rogers
Born in Polk County in 1946,
Rogers
attended
Benton
Elementary and graduated in
1964 from Polk County High
School. He graduated in 1966
from Hiwassee Junior College
with an associated degree in business.
He graduated in 1968 from
Tennessee Wesleyan College with
a bachelor of science degree in
business education.
His first teaching job was at
Valley Point High School in
Dalton, Ga., as a business
teacher. He went to school during
the summer at the University of
West Georgia, in Carrollton, where
he earned a master’s degree in
administration and supervision.
He taught and served as assistant
principal at Valley Point from
1968 to 1977.
He served as principal of
Copper Basin High School from
1978 to 1984. In 1984 he was
elected superintendent of Polk
County Schools and was re-elected in 1988. He served eight years
as superintendent.
From 1992 to 2002, Rogers
taught economics at Copper
Basin, coached girl’s softball and
assisted with the girl’s basketball
team. In 2002, he moved to Polk
County High School to teach economics until his retirement in
2010.
During this time he coached
the girl’s volleyball team — winning three district championships. Even though he has
retired, he is still coaching the
team.
He is a preacher of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ serving as the
minister of the Patty Church of
Christ from 1982-88. He became
the minister of the Benton
polk County High School Hall of Fame members present at the 2015 Alumni Banquet included, from left front, Jasper Rogers, Ronnie

Nancy Dorinda Mercer
Longley
Born in 1926 in the Ocoee com-
munity, Longly attended schools
in Polk County from the first
grade through high school graduation in 1944.
Following graduation from high
school, she joined the U.S. Cadet
Nurses Corps and served from
1945-48. The Corps was a program created in 1943 to ensure
there were enough nurses to care
for the needs of U.S. residents at
home and abroad during World
War II.
After leaving the U.S. Cadet
Nurses Corps, Longley attended
Fort Sanders School of Nursing,
in Knoxville, and received her
degree as a registered nurse.

Land Between
the Lakes
logging plan
criticized
GILBERTSVILLE, Ky. (AP) —
U.S. Forest Service representatives and local residents are in disagreement over how to best preserve the Land Between the Lakes
National Recreation Area.
Residents criticized the Forest
Service’s plans during a public
meeting in Gilbertsville on
Thursday night, The Paducah Sun
reports.
The Forest Service, which manages the 170,000-acre area, says
practices such as logging and
burning should be used to convert
some of the area’s regions into
more open, savanna-like grasslands, also referred to as preEuropean landscapes.
But many local residents say
they want logging and burning to
stop. They say they would prefer
the agency improve roads, trails
and other regional attractions
instead.
Other residents favor some land
management but want the Forest
Service to change its approach to
the area.
Land Between the Lakes
spokeswoman Jan Bush said the
hearings are being held to improve
communication with residents. In
April, after several months of public outcry, the Forest Service temporarily halted new timber sales
projects on the land.
Lyon County Judge-Executive
Wade White, who has spearheaded
the campaign to halt the logging
and burning plans, said the Forest
Service had been using different
terminology and confusing the
public on the issue of landscape
change.
Responding to White’s question
of whether the Forest Service is in
fact proposing to create landscape
change, the agency’s area supervisor Tina Tilley confirmed that
notion and said the agency could
have used clearer language to better communicate its plans.
The youngest person to speak at
Thursday’s meeting was a 12year-old girl named Daily, who
broke into tears before she could
finish her prepared remarks.
“I love exploring and being deep
inside the forest,” she said. “One
day I hope to bring my children
here.”
A second meeting on the issue
is scheduled for June 16 in Dover.
Police: Woman reports
drug deal rip-off,
ends up charged
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP)
— Authorities say a South Florida
woman who called 911 to report
that she was getting stiffed in a
drug deal ended up reporting on
herself: She now faces charges
including drug possession.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office
reports that 19-year-old Daneshia
Heller told a 911 operator Tuesday
that she went to a Fort Lauderdale
home to buy marijuana, but a
man there took her $5 without giving her the drugs.
Officials say a deputy checked a
white substance in Heller’s pocket, which tested positive for alphaPVP, a psychosis-inducing street
drug known as flakka.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel
reports that Heller was charged
with drug possession and misusing the 911 system.
her family name. Aware of the
importance of preserving her family heritage, she submitted her
family story to the committee
gathering articles for ‘The Heritage
of Polk County,’ published in
1997,” her nominator said.
She was active in the Linsdale
and Benton Garden Clubs, the
American
Cancer
Society,
Mothers March of Dimes and the
4H Clubs.
From her childhood, she was
devoted to her church and held
memberships in Cookson Creek
Baptist, First Baptist, Benton
and Wetmore Baptist.
She was a contributing
founder of Pine Ridge Baptist
Church, and the organist,
pianist, and director of the
Children’s Choir at First Baptist
in l974.
She was the first licensed
Realtor in Polk County.
Even in making plans for her
passing, she was thinking of how
she could benefit others by making her body an anatomical donation to the UT Medical School in
Memphis.
She suffered from a rare disease and hoped the study of her
body would help lead to a cure or

Searching
for Earhart
Despite doubters, Ric
Gillespie continues quest
OXFORD, Pa. (AP) — Ric
Gillespie tells a story well. He
knows how to get people
intrigued and, in some cases, to
persuade them to give him
money, not unlike the legendary
pilot for whom he’s spent much
of his life searching — Amelia
Earhart.
At first, the man who looks a
bit like a weather-worn sea captain balks at the oft-repeated
notion that his ability to charm,
and maybe even his time on stage
in high school, helped get him
where he is. Then, Gillespie
shrugs and capitulates, with a
slight smile.
“No apologies for my charisma.
I put it, I hope, to very good use,”
he says, sitting on the back porch
of the old farmhouse in rural
Pennsylvania that is both his
home and office of the organization he and his wife, Pat
Thrasher, co-founded — The
International Group for Historic
Aircraft Recovery, or TIGHAR.
The group’s mission — and his
life’s goal for more than 25 years
— has been to solve the mystery
of Earhart and her navigator,
Fred Noonan, who disappeared in
the South Pacific on July 2,
1937, during what was supposed
to be a round-the-world flight.
The longstanding official theory is that the plane ran out of
gas, crashed and sank into very
deep ocean waters somewhere off
Howland Island, a tiny speck that
the pair missed.
Since 1989, Gillespie and his
team have been testing another
theory — and they’re headed
back to the South Pacific this
month. They surmise that
Earhart made an emergency
landing on a flat stretch of coral
reef off what was then known as
Gardner Island, southwest of
Howland. Gillespie and members
of TIGHAR have made several
treks to the distant atoll, now
called Nikumaroro. To do so, and
to keep the organization running,
they have raised millions of dollars in private funding.
Gillespie and his team left for
the island this past week, on a
boat from Fiji, and were scheduled to arrive this weekend.
Among other things, they want to
check an anomaly seen in sonar
imaging on an underwater cliff
where the reef drops off.
Could it be the fuselage of
Earhart’s Lockheed Electra 10E
airplane?
Gillespie makes no promises:
“There’s no guarantee of success.”
He’s far from the only person
with an idea about Earhart’s fate.
An Australian researcher
thinks wreckage spotted by
members of his country’s military
years ago deep in the remote
mountains of a Papua New
Guinea island could be Earhart’s.
Others are investigating local
island lore that Earhart and
Noonan crash landed on Mili
Atoll, 800 miles northwest of
Howland, and were taken prisoner by the Japanese and transported to the island of Saipan,
where they died in captivity.
Various teams who believe the
crashed-and-sank theory —an
explanation supported by curators at the Smithsonian’s Air and
Space Museum — have tried to
pinpoint the crash location using
sophisticated equipment to scan
the ocean floor and employing
computer models, based on the
strength of Earhart’s radio transmissions. No one has found a
verified plane part or bone fragment.
But Gillespie — whose confident, sometimes brash style has
made him a lightning rod among
searchers — says he and his
team are building their case,
slowly but surely.
He has his admirers. In 2012,
then Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton recognized Gillespie at a
reception honoring Earhart. A
photo of them together hangs on
his office wall, along with a
framed letter in which she said,

From Page 50
“It reads like a 911 call,” says
Gillespie, who has put scans of
her notebook on TIGHAR’s website.
The second indisputable
point, Gillespie says, is a purported castaway camp on the
island — though others argue
that it could have been made by
the crew of the SS Norwich City,
a ship that ran aground on the
island.
There are other puzzle pieces,
Gillespie says.
He says his team uncovered a
file in England that contained
measurements of bones found
on Nikumaroro and taken to Fiji
years ago. The bones themselves
are missing, but an original
assessment of them — that they
belonged to a short man, perhaps of mixed race — is disputed
by modern experts who say they
could have belonged to a woman
of European descent, Gillespie
says.
One of TIGHAR’s more controversial finds is a piece of metal,
likely from an airplane, that the
team found at Nikumaroro in the
early 1990s. First, Gillespie theorized that it could be part of
Earhart’s plane’s belly. At a 1992
news conference, he proclaimed
that his team had “recovered
artifacts that conclusively prove
this case.” Several experts came
forward to dispute that.
Critics also dispute his current
claim that the metal fragment
could be the patch that covered a
window on Earhart’s plane. They
say a stamp on the metal puts its
date of manufacture after 1937,
though Gillespie has at least one
notable supporter.
“In my opinion, you have a
very interesting artifact, and if I
had to vote today with all that I
know, I would say it is the real
thing,” wrote Thomas Eagar, a
professor of materials engineering and engineering systems at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, in a letter to
Gillespie. Contacted by the AP,
Eagar said he stood by that
statement.
And so, the search continues.
The TIGHAR team flew to Fiji
on June 6 and later boarded a
ship for a five-day journey to
Nikumaroro. They plan to be on
the island two weeks, with one
team using unmanned underwater exploration robots to scan
the reef cliff, while a land team
searches for more clues.
“They may find her on this
trip, but I think the odds are
huge against it,” says Tom
Crouch, a senior curator in the
aeronautics department at the
Smithsonian’s National Air and
Space Museum. He considers
Gillespie a friend and thinks
he’s done good work on the historic aircraft preservation
front.
“We’ve argued about this stuff
for 30 years.,” Crouch says. “I
just don’t think he knows where
Amelia wound up. That’s all.
“But,” he adds, “I could be
wrong.”

A 1972 PAPer and Indian ink artwork called “Crows” is displayed at the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Exhibition at the American
University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, in northwest Washington, Wednesday to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 1945
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The exhibition opened Saturday.
70th anniversary of atomic bombings
Japanese art recalls event, on exhibit in Washington
WASHINGTON (AP) — A pocket
watch that stopped at 8:15 a.m.
when the first atomic bomb
dropped. A sprawling picture of
twisted bodies and screaming
faces engulfed by the flames. The
school lunch box of a girl who
disappeared without trace.
As the 70th anniversary of the
end of World War II approaches,
American University Museum in
Washington is showcasing artifacts and art recalling the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
At a time of intensifying focus
on Japan’s reluctance face up to
its militaristic past, the exhibition provides a different perspective on the end of the conflict —
one in which Japanese were the
victims.
That has the potential to upset
American veterans. Defenders of
the use of the atomic bomb say it
alleviated the need for a land
invasion of Japan that would
have cost many American lives.
The precise death tolls from the
bombings are unknown, but it is
believed about 200,000 people
were killed.
On the 50th anniversary of the
bombings, a fierce controversy
surrounded an exhibit at the
Smithsonian Institution of the
Enola Gay, the B-29 that
dropped the bomb on Hiroshima,
Aug. 6, 1945. The 1995 exhibit
was dramatically scaled back
because of veterans’ protests
that it portrayed the Japanese as
victims rather than as aggressors.
That year, Peter Kuznick,
director of the university’s
Nuclear
Studies
Institute,
“Part of why we doing this is because
the danger has not really passed, and it’s important
that people focus on it again.”
— Peter Kuznick
responded to the controversy by
staging an exhibition of artifacts
the Smithsonian wouldn’t. Doing
so at a private institution, and
not a government-funded one,
made it less contentious.
He’s reprising that effort, 20
years on, with a display that
opens Saturday and runs until
Aug. 16. It includes six pictures
on folding screens by the late Iri
and Toshi Maruki, a husband
and wife whose powerful depictions of nuclear horrors, known
as the Hiroshima Panels, are
being shown in the U.S. capital
for the first time.
In an adjacent room are 25
artifacts collected from the
debris, among them a rosary, a
glass fragment removed from the
flesh of a casualty, container of
sake, a student’s cap and a student’s shoe. The Hiroshima
Peace Memorial Museum and the
Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum
have also provided an explanatory account of the bombings with
graphic photos, such as panoramas of the two levelled
cityscapes, and wrenching

images of the victims.
Kuznick said the primary aim
of the exhibition is to portray the
human suffering caused by the
atomic bombings that ushered in
an era in which absolute
destruction of the planet became
possible and “nobody’s future is
guaranteed anymore.”
He lamented that Americans —
including undergraduates he
teaches — have become less
aware since the end of the Cold
War about the devastating
impact a nuclear conflict would
have, although the rivalry
between India and Pakistan, and
the stand-off between the United
States and Russia over Ukraine,
mean the risk persists.
“Part of why we doing this is
because the danger has not really passed, and it’s important that
people focus on it again,” he said.
The exhibition shows not only
Japanese suffering. Two of the
Hiroshima Panels on display portray the death of American prisoners of war and Korean forced

The picture’s caption, a verse

Korean bodies “were left on the

“Not only are we portraying the
Japanese as victims, we’re also
portraying the Japanese as victimizers. That in no way mitigates the American responsibility
for using atomic bombs but it
does complicate the narrative a
little bit,” said Kuznick.
Jan Thompson, president of

American former prisoners of

bombs were a tragedy that no
one should celebrate. She said

the bombs was not justified.
“Virtually all of our former

historical contexts.”
Kuznick said he’s faced no
opposition so far to this year’s
exhibition. The opening will be
attended by two Japanese survivors of the bombings.
But a June 23 seminar associated with the exhibition that will
discuss
President
Harry
Truman’s decision to use the
bomb and its historical implications could raise hackles.
Panelists include prominent historians, including Kuznick, who
question whether the United
States needed to do so to end the
war with Japan, and whether it
was intended as a warning to the
Soviet Union, a wartime ally that
would emerge as a rival superpower.
Yoshiko Hayakawa, who has
brought the Hiroshima Panels
from the Maruki Gallery outside
Tokyo, said it had been difficult
to find a gallery or museum willing or able to display them in the
United States. They were last
shown in the U.S. in 1995, in
Minnesota, and she spent more
than four years trying to bring
them again to America.
“I really want the American
people to see the panels. They go
right to the heart of people who
wish for long-lasting peace and
for a ban on nuclear weapons,”
she said.

Federal regulators go after crowdfunding scam
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal
regulators are going after people who raise money online
through crowdfunding sites like
Kickstarter and GoFundMe but
don’t follow through on their
promises.
In its first case involving
crowdfunding, the Federal
Trade Commission announced
Thursday that it has settled
charges against a man who
raised
$122,000
through
Kickstarter to produce a board
game that never materialized.
According to the FTC, Erik
Chevalier canceled the project
and said he would refund the
donations, but used the money
instead to pay his rent and
move.
Crowdfunding has become a
popular way to donate money
directly to someone in need,
from independent filmmakers
to do-gooders. The donations
are often small, ranging from a
couple bucks to a couple thousand dollars.
In one case in Los Angeles, a
man’s crowdfunding campaign
received $60,000 in less than a
month after posting a YouTube
video showing how he built a
tiny, $500 wooden house on
wheels for a homeless woman
in his neighborhood. In another
case, a Maine man who wanted
to donate his kidney to a
stranger after seeing a sign in a
car window raised $49,000 to
defray medical costs.
While this week’s FTC settlement is a warning to online
scammers, it also reveals the
limits to which the government
can
protect
consumers:
Chevalier has been ordered to
repay the money, but the judgment is suspended because he
doesn’t have any. Otherwise,
the settlement prohibits him
from lying about future crowdfunding campaigns.

3. SHOP AROUND
Many homeowners reach out
to an insurance agent who recommends one or more insurers.
Another option is to search your
state insurance department website. It will typically list pricing
information for the biggest insurers.
When discerning which is the
lowest-cost policy, make sure
you’re comparing the same coverage from carrier to carrier.
Hunter of the Consumer
Federation of America also recommends finding a handful of
the lower-cost carriers and then
narrow them down further by
checking their track record of
consumer complaints on the
NAIC
website,
https://eapps.naic.org/cis/ .
“You don’t necessarily need to
talk to an agent,” Hunter said.
“You can start by talking to an
insurance company directly.”
Even after you’ve been in your
home a few years it pays to get
quotes from other insurers and
use it as a bargaining chip with
your insurer to give you a better
deal.
4. CONSIDER A HIGHER
DEDUCTIBLE
A
recent
study
by
Insurancequotes.com found that
raising the homeowners insurance deductible to $2,000 from
$500 can lower the annual premium in the U.S. by 16 percent,
on average.
A deductible is the portion that
is paid by the homeowner on a
claim before the insurance policy
kicks in. Still, don’t raise your
deductible unless you have
enough money saved to cover it
in the event you have to file a
claim.

Black film festival shifts focus to the Web
NEW YORK (AP) — As scrutiny
continues over diversity in film and
opportunities
for
African
Americans in Hollywood, some
black actors and producers are
looking to another avenue where
they see growth — the Web.
Success stories like Issa Rae,
whose “Awkward Black Girl”
Internet comedy series was so successful she received a development
deal with HBO, have opened the
door for others who may have
found more traditional avenues in
Hollywood closed. So as the
American Black Film Festival
opened in New York this week for
its 19th year, it has turned its focus
to the Web.
“Degrassi” star Andrea Lewis is
among those finding more exposure on the Internet. Used to being
the only black person on set, when
Lewis was not getting the roles she

wanted, she decided not going to
wait.
“Instead of wondering where the
next opportunity can come, I said, ‘I
am going to come up with it and do
it myself,’” Lewis said.
She took to the Web with her
comedy series “Black Actress,”
sharing the narrative of black
women trying to make it in the
industry. The 10- to 20-minute
episodes include the storyline of a
young women going on auditions,
woven in with real-life interviews
from actresses such as Tatyana Ali
and “Powers’” Naturi Naughton.
They discuss the lack of significant
roles offered, and the struggle to
live creatively.
Lewis said she created “Black
Actress” after she was introduced
as the “urban one” by a cast member.
“I was seen as the black one on
the set, not as a peer or another
actor who is trying to work,” she
said. “It was an uncomfortable
experience for me and also for the
others who were there.”
Now Lewis is writing, producing
and acting on her own terms. She
is working on three other Web
series and a feature film with
Jungle Wild Productions.
For her, the Internet offers “creative freedom and there is no gatekeeper on what you can put out
with your team.”
Her show is featured as a part of
the festival’s “2015 Web Originals”
panel. Other events at ABFF, which
runs until Sunday, include the New
York premiere of “Dope” and a conversation with ABFF ambassador
and “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson.
Jeff Friday, co-founder of the
ABFF, said using the Internet and
social media is an easy way for
young actors and producers to get
themselves out there and create
content.
“You’ve got to try to take your
own destiny in your own hands and
there is no excuse now,” he said.
Rae, the creator and star of
“Awkward Black Girl” and the
HBO-ordered pilot “Insecure,” is
joining Andrea Lewis and the creators of website BlackandSexy.tv,
Numa Perrier and Dennis Dortch,
for the panel “How to Create and
Monetize a Successful Web Series.”
Rae said events like these are
important at ABFF because “a lot of
people don’t know how to get started and how to make money.”
Rae’s success comes after creating multiple web series and producing other projects with her company, Color Creative.
“I got into this industry initially
as a fan and to be able to use my
platform to support other up-andcoming artists that I am a fan of.
That’s an ideal situation for me,”
she said.

(NewsUSA) — Don’t let concerns about complexity keep you
from the benefits of investing in
real estate.
The advantages of investment
properties include rental income,
value appreciation and equity
growth, and locating, buying and
managing property isn’t as complicated as most people imagine.

portfolio and amass wealth
today, but the best opportunities

Consider the current inventory
of property and whether the
property values will rise or fall in
the future. Other factors include
job creation and its effect on
local income levels and overall
economic growth.
Maximize potential income
Renting is rising in popularity,
and rental properties generate
