Burglary solving rate above state averageWatson credits moreofficers, communitysupplying information

By BRIAN GRAVESBanner Staff Writer

The Tennessee Bureau ofInvestigation will release a reporttoday showing the Bradley County

Sheriff’s office above the state andregional averages in solving bur-glary cases.

According to the report, theBCSO has solved 26 percent of itscases — almost double the staterate of 12 percent and the EastTennessee regional rate of 14 per-cent.

“I can account for that rate ofcrimes solved because five of the18 new employees we recentlyhired are assigned to the Criminal

Investigations Division,” saidSheriff Eric Watson. “There wereonly 18 CID officers and nowthere are 23.”

He said those officers now workaround the clock.

“There are detectives availableat night now and working on thestreet,” he said. “If there is a bur-glary that happens or theft thatoccurs, they can respond fromtheir car or the office instead offrom their house — meaning

response times are much faster.”Watson said he also gives much

credit to the community for help-ing solve those crimes.

“I think through social mediaand the newspaper, the ‘Top 10Most Wanted,’ and communityrelations we have increased ourability to communicate with thepublic much better,” the sheriffsaid. “We’ve worked to build thattrust factor up.”

He said the bridge to success is

through communicating with thepublic.

“I have never in my life seen a70 to 80 percent success rate on a‘Top 10’ list that is printed in thepaper,” he said. “I really believe ithas come from building the trustin the community.”

He said Bradley countians are“tired of thieves and tired of bur-glars.”

MoRE thAN 40 offIcERS from the Bradley County Sheriff’s office, Bradley County Fire-Rescue and Bradley County Emergency Management joined in Saturday’s search.

Local emergency workers launch‘intensive search’ for missing man


A combined team of more than 40 local emer-gency officers conducted what was described as“an intensive search” Saturday for a Clevelandman who has been missing for almost two weeks.

However, the efforts did not provide an answerto the mystery.

Brian Keith Smith was reported missing by hisfamily from the White Oak Valley Road area morethan 10 days ago.

BCSO Detective Brandon Edwards, lead detec-tive in the case, said Smith had recently beenreleased from Mocassin Bend and had shownsigns of paranoia.

He also said Smith’s last statements suggestedsuicidal tendencies.

Officers separated into several teams to coverone approximately one square mile of woodedarea.

A preliminary search was conducted April 7,

when Smith was reportedmissing, using K-9s andnine squad officers.

Sheriff Eric Watson said atrigger to increase the vol-ume of the search camefrom a lack of evidenceSmith had used any avail-able avenue to access itemshe would need to survivecombined with the state-ments from the family as to Smith’s frame ofmind.

“Although there are no signs of a homicide, thisis the way we have to treat a situation like thisbecause we just don’t know what has happened tohim,” Watson said.

The search involved members of the BradleyCounty Sheriff’s office, the Bradley County Fire-Rescue and the Bradley County Emergency

State funding concernsvoiced by Airport Authority

By JOYANNA LOVEBanner Senior Staff Writer

Funding was the focus for theCleveland Municipal AirportAuthority Friday.

Changes in funding at the statelevel have the board concernedthat projects may be delayed. Theneed for more T-hangars at the air-port led the Cleveland City Councilto approve funding assuming thestate portion would be approved.

Timing on the issue is what RonFitzgerald of PDC Consultantsdescribed as “the perfect storm.” The T-hangar bids have come inhigher than initial estimates at thesame time revenues at the statelevel are not coming in as project-ed.

Reducing the space between thehangars has been mentioned as away to reduce the cost of fire barri-

ers, but Fitzgerald said this wouldnot change the price much.

In addition to these challenges,specifications for the T-hangarshave changed since the last oneswere constructed on the site.Fitzgerald said fire barrier andasphalt standard requirementshave been amended.

Jetport director of operationsMark Fidler said he has talked withthe state aeronautics director anddiscussed options.

Fidler said he hopedstate fundswould be able to make up the dif-ference between the funds avail-able for the project and the project-ed costs. However, the state aero-nautics director was not able tosay anything definite.

Civil War ‘Silent Sentinels’ still on guard in North, South

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.(AP) — After the Civil War endedin April 1865, statues depictingUnion and Confederate soldierswent up across the country,from New England squares toSouthern courthouses. A centu-ry and a half later, these weath-ered “Silent Sentinels” still standguard, rifles at the ready, gazingoff in the distance.

For a war that pitted brotheragainst brother, many of thembear a strong family resem-blance.

Most of the statues weremass-produced by a handful ofNorthern companies that founda steady market selling to com-munities — North and South —eager to honor their fallen sol-diers and surviving veterans.

“They’re not meant to repre-sent one person or another,” saidSarah Beetham, an art historianwho teaches at the University ofDelaware and the PennsylvaniaAcademy of the Fine Arts. “Thisway, people could go and see inthem their sons or fathers whohad fought in the war.”

Known as the “SilentSentinel,” ‘’Single Soldier” orsimilar names, he tops many ofthe thousands of Civil War mon-uments to be found in morethan 30 states. Today, 150 yearsafter the guns fell silent to endthe nation’s bloodiest conflict,the ranks of the more than 3million citizen soldiers whofought on both sides are repre-sented by some of our mostubiquitous yet often overlookedpublic symbols.

“Before the Civil War, youwould never have had an imageof the common soldier to memo-rialize. You would have a generalor a biblical figure,” said EarleShettleworth, head historian forthe state of Maine. “After thewar, there was more of a demo-cratic way of memorializingthose who had participated.”

With untold thousands of wardead buried in graves on or nearbattlefields and encampmentsfar from their homes, some com-munities in the North and Southerected hometown monumentsto the fallen even as the fightingraged. Most were stone obelisksplaced in local cemeteries.

Within a couple of years afterGen. Robert E. Lee’s surrenderat Appomattox, Virginia, moreelaborate monuments werebeing commissioned from sculp-tors. By 1867, monuments fea-turing sculpted or cast metalsoldier statues were dedicated incemeteries in Cincinnati and

Boston. The version depicting asingle soldier at “parade rest” —hands gripping a musket at theend of the barrel, the stock rest-ing on the ground — became themost popular way to honor themore than 2 million men whofought for the Union.

But commissioning a monu-ment made of Italian marble ornorthern New England granitecould cost tens of thousands ofdollars, much too expensive formost small towns. Many turnedto the northern foundries spe-cializing in cast bronze or zincstatuary used to decorate ceme-tery markers. Firms such as theMonumental Bronze Co. ofBridgeport, Connecticut, did abrisk business selling soldierstatues. A life-size parade restmodel was listed in its sales cat-alog for $450, while the 8-foot-6-inch version sold for $750.

“It’s like going to Wal-Mart. It’sless expensive,” said Timothy S.Sedore, author of “An IllustratedGuide to Virginia’s ConfederateMonuments.”

Because they had lost the warand were economically shat-tered, Southerners got a laterstart erecting monuments. Bythe time the 20th centuryarrived, they were making up forlost time, with hundreds of sol-dier statues installed across theSouth, typically outside countycourthouses.

But old animosities died hard,and folks in the South didn’tusually publicize who was sup-plying the statues: mostly com-panies in Connecticut,Massachusetts and Ohio.

“The Southerners didn’t talkabout that, buying fromYankees,” Beetham said.

Versions of the Silent Sentinelstatue can be found fromAmarillo, Texas, to Kennebunk,Maine. The Northern version fea-tures a Union soldier wearing akepi and caped greatcoat, whilehis Southern counterpart typi-cally wears the iconic slouch hatand bedroll strapped diagonallyacross his chest.

An accurate number of CivilWar monuments is difficult topin down. Beetham, who wroteher dissertation on post-CivilWar citizen soldier monuments,estimates there are some 2,500across the Northern states, withthe Silent Sentinel versionbelieved to account for as manyas half of them. Estimates ofConfederate monuments rangebetween 500 and 1,000, includ-ing hundreds of the rebel versionof the solitary soldier.

Sibyl Flannery Sibyl Whitehead Flannery, 76, of

Colorado Springs, Colo., went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, April 8, 2015, after a courageous year-long battle with cancer.

She died peacefully at her home embraced in the love and warmth of her family.

Sibyl was born on Sept. 29, 1938, in Asheboro, N.C., and grew up in Ramseur, N.C. She received her bachelor of science degree from Lee University in Cleveland in 1972 and her master’s degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1975.

She taught in the Bradley County school system for 35 years.

Although she never fulfilled her personal dream of becoming a physician, as a biology teacher she influenced thousands of students over the years, many of whom went on to become successful doctors, nurses and other medical professionals.

In 1972 and 1973 she received the Outstanding Elementary Teachers of the America Award and the Bradley County Teacher of the Year Award.

Her love of helping others led her to become a CPR instructor in Cleveland, where she lived for 35 years.

The American Heart Association recognized her dedication and named her Tennessee Volunteer of the Year in 1979. She worked in the emergency room of two local hospitals in Cleveland and volunteered in local nursing homes.

She received training as an EMT and became one of the first female EMTs in the Cleveland-Bradley County area. She also worked for eight years as a deputy sheriff for the Bradley County Sheriff’s Department.

Throughout her life she belonged to multiple organizations and received many awards for her various occupations and activities. Remarkably, she accomplished all of this while teaching full-time.

In 2006, she moved from North Carolina to Colorado Springs, where she lived the remainder of her productive life. In that year, she married Darrell L Flannery. Sibyl and Darrell were happily married nine years. They were totally devoted to one another and were completely inseparable.

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, wife and friend. An exceptionally kind and thoughtful person, she genuinely cared for and loved all her family and friends and was loved by everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her son, James “Jimi” R. Flowers of Colorado Springs; and by her parents: Charles Raymond Whitehead and Dorothy Allen Whitehead of Ramseur, N.C.

She leaves behind her loving husband, Darrell L. Flannery of Colorado Springs; her son, Charles E. Flowers III of Asheville, N.C.; her granddaughters: Katherine A. Flowers and Sarah D. Flowers of Chapel Hill, N.C.; her daughter-in- law, Melanie “Sue” Flowers, and grandchildren: Samuel J. Flowers and Lauren A. Flowers of Colorado Springs; her brother, Charles “Mickey” Whitehead of Asheboro, N.C.; her niece, Cheryl Hollady of Lusby, Md.; and nephew, Michael Whitehead of Asheboro, N.C.

A memorial service was held at the Swan Law Funeral Home in Colorado Springs on Tuesday, April 14, 2015.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations may be made to Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care.

“We have a very good schoolsystem,” said the director ofschools. “We set high standardsfor ourselves. We believe we canalways get better. We target theright areas, and focus on the rightthings.”

“For us to get from ‘very good’ to‘great’ takes everyone realizingthat new paths must be forged,”he added. “We must remain curi-ous, and we must beat down thateasy feeling of settling for good.

“As we continue to angle ourschool system for the future andtackle major issue such as servinga rapidly increasing ESL popula-tion and creating success for ourat-risk population, we seek thestrengths of individuals to makethis happen,” Ringstaff continued.“I am proud to announce that in2015/2016 we have great individ-uals leading these charges.”

They include:— Debby Torres will be the

supervisor of AlternativePrograms and Education, and willfocus on at-risk programs andstudents.

— Christy Duncan will be coor-dinator of English as a SecondLanguage (ESL).

“As those two main dominoesfell, other leadership opportunitiesarose and we tapped into thestrengths of others,” Dr. Ringstaffadded.

— Kelly Kiser leaves MayfieldElementary School to take over assupervisor of FederalP r o g r a m s / P r o f e s s i o n a lDevelopment. This is the positionthat Torres is vacating.

He added tthe StuartElementary principal position willbe posted soon.

“We will meet with the facultyand staff at Stuart to discuss theprocess and procedures for hiringa new principal. We will also seektheir advice on their beliefs andculture,” he said.

Dr. Ringstaff said change canbe challenging, but exhilarating.

“When new people arrive inbuildings or positions, new and

greater expectations also enterwith them,” he said.

“I have the utmost respect forour leadership team. We have vet-ted these moves extensively.

“We have looked at timing andmaking sure leadership styles fitinto current cultures guide deci-sions,” he added. “We had 12interviews for the MayfieldElementary assistant principalposition.”

Dr. Ringstaff said outgoing prin-cipal Kelly Kiser shared with himthat it was the most impressivegroup (all 12) that he has had theprivilege to interview as principal.

JACKSON (AP) — Josh andJanna Ferrell said they could notimagine what raising a child withhealth problems would be like.

They watched “Teen Mom”together at their home in Milanand wondered how difficult itmust be. In May 2012, they gotfirsthand experience when theirsecond daughter, Aubrey, wasborn with a kidney disease.

Janna said the first signs theremight be an issue with Aubrey’skidneys came before she waseven born. She said the doctorsdid tests and found potentialproblems.

“They told us that it was possi-ble that she may have somethingwrong with her kidneys, that shemight have a kidney disease, andwe’d have to wait until she wasborn and do an ultrasound,”Janna said.

She said Aubrey was bornearly at 34 weeks and weighedthree pounds, 11 ounces. Shewas kept in the hospital for a fewweeks, and the ultrasound wasdone.

“They told us everything wasnormal,” Janna said. “We wenton with our lives thinking, wemade it through without anytrouble.”

Janna said over the next fewweeks, Aubrey stopped growingand gaining weight. Josh said hecould tell something was off withher development.

“It’s hard to explain; it justwasn’t quite right,” he said.

When Aubrey was threemonths old, the Ferrells decidedto take her to Le BonheurChildren’s Hospital in Memphis.Janna said after a week at thehospital, Aubrey was diagnosedwith congenital nephrotic syn-drome, a rare kidney disease.

“Le Bonheur had not seen herdisease in twenty-somethingyears,” Josh said. “That’s scarywhen the best children’s hospitalaround doesn’t know what to do.”

Janna said Aubrey had begunto swell and have difficultybreathing from fluid buildup inher body. Because of her disease,she was losing protein, and itwas affecting her thyroid,immune system and growth.

“Her kidney was filtering all ofthe good stuff as well,” Josh said.

The doctors determined thatAubrey needed to have a kidneyremoved. They did the surgeryand put in a feeding tube and acentral line for IV access. Sixweeks later, the Ferrells wenthome.

Josh said his insurance wouldnot pay for transplants outsideseven specific hospitals in thecountry. After some research,they decided to take Aubrey toBoston Children’s Hospital inMassachusetts.

“If we’re going to have to gosomewhere, we decided to go tothe best place in the UnitedStates,” Josh said.

The family moves back andforth from Boston wheneverAubrey needs specific care.

Josh said caring for Aubreytakes up almost all of Janna’stime. She had to quit her job as anurse to care for her. He saidbecause of all the things thathave to be done for Aubrey, theycannot hire a babysitter or sendher to daycare.

Janna said Aubrey’s immunesystem is compromised becauseof her disease, and she has beenhospitalized for pneumonia,dehydration and other sickness-es.

“You get normal stomach bug,and you have it for 24 hours,”

she said. “Aubrey will get it, andshe’ll be sick for three weeks.”

In January, Aubrey had tohave her second kidney removed.She now has a dialysis catheterin her abdomen and has to gothrough dialysis every night.Aubrey needs a kidney trans-plant for her body to work nor-mally.

“I was going to give her my kid-ney,” Janna said.

She said she went through thetests, but both of her kidneyshave two arteries, which wouldcreate a clotting risk in a baby.

“It would be fine for an adult,but not for her,” she said.

Janna said Aubrey is too smallto go through regular hemodialy-sis like an adult kidney patientwould. Instead, for 12 hourseach night, a solution flows intoher abdomen and soaks up tox-

ins typically removed by kidneys.Janna said the dialysis makes

Aubrey very tired.“Aubrey doesn’t know how to

walk,” Janna said. “She’ll be twoin May, and she can’t walk. Shecan’t crawl. She doesn’t eat ...She’s just not able to do the typ-ical things that she should do.”

Janna said it is sad to seeother kids do things that Aubreycannot do. She said Aubrey goesto physical therapy, occupationaltherapy and speech therapyevery week.

“She’s getting there,” Jannasaid.

Aubrey has another kidneydonor lined up who is goingthrough testing now. Josh andJanna said they are hopeful thatthe donor will be cleared, andAubrey can get a transplant inthe next few weeks.

NASHVILLE (AP) — A majorityof Tennessee prosecutors askedabout a new law that has drawncriticism for allowing assaultcharges against mothers ofdrug-addicted newborns say itis having a positive effect.

According to a statewide sur-vey done by the TennesseeDepartment of Safety, morethan half of state prosecutorssaid they were seeing positiveresults. The agency releasedresults last week showing that17 prosecutors thought thethreat of jail was deterring moredrug-dependent births, whileseven thought it wasn’t helpingand six didn’t respond, The

Tennessean reported.Meanwhile, data shows the

number of drug-addicted babiesborn in Tennessee is still on theincrease.

In a letter that accompaniedthe survey, Department ofSafety Commissioner BillGibbons said criminal chargeswere “used sparingly and selec-tively” in the six months the lawwas in effect last year.

Monroe County DistrictAttorney Steven Crump says hethinks the law is necessary, buthe doesn’t use it often.

“We’ve tried to be very sparingin the use of the statute,” hesaid. “We’ve tried to stay away

from cases where there was asignificant question in ourminds as to whether or notthere was the (drug depend-ence), or where we didn’t feellike we were going to accom-plish anything by charging themother in that set of circum-stances.”

Since the law went into effect,Crump’s office has chargedthree women, who were all givendiversion instead of jail time.

American Civil LibertiesUnion of Tennessee ExecutiveDirector Hedy Weinberg opposesthe law. She says it doesn’tentice women to get treatment;it drives them underground.

Miles Finley was friends withBrandon Vandenburg, who wasconvicted in January of multiplecounts of aggravated rape.

Finley testified at trial thatVandenburg sent him text mes-sages and videos of the assaultas it was happening. The 21-year-old said Vandenburg latercame to California and confiscat-ed his cell phone.

Finley originally was changedwith evidence tampering.

Defense attorney BernieMcEvoy said Finley pleadedguilty on Friday to attemptedaccessory after the fact.Appearing via Internet video fromPalm Desert, Finley was sen-tenced to 11 months and 29 daysunsupervised probation. Thecharge can be expunged if hestays out of trouble during thattime.

Man who went on 9-day killing

spree in 1977 denied paroleSANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A

convicted California serial killerwho went on a nine-day rampagethat claimed the lives of four peo-ple has been denied parole andcannot reapply for seven years.

Brett Matthew Paul Thomas,now 56, and his friend, MarkTitch, were convicted in 1977after committing the murdersduring robbery or burglaryattempts in Orange County.

Thomas, who was 18 at thetime, and Titch, who was 17,were both sentenced to life withthe possibility of parole. Titchdied behind bars last year.

The two were neighbors at aStanton apartment complex thatthe police had dubbed “The Zoo”because of the criminal activitythere, City News Service report-ed.

Their first victim was LauraStoughton, 20, who interruptedthe pair on Jan. 21, 1977, asthey were breaking into herhome.

They abducted her and droveto an abandoned field, whereTitch shot her at close range witha stolen .22-caliber rifle.

Three days later, the two killedEphraim Jacob Christian, 35,during a botched robbery atRockview Dairy.

Five days after that, Thomasand Titch followed the owner of abilliards hall to his home with aplan to rob him.

They gunned down AubreyDuncan at his home, and thenshot his 18-year-old daughter,Denise, in the heart after hermother opened the door to findout what was going on.

Fla. Panhandle police: Man with

gun fatally shot by officersPANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) —

Authorities in Florida’sPanhandle say a man has diedafter being shot by a police offi-cer.

Panama City Police say officersresponded early Saturday to areport of a man carrying “a longgun.” Police tell The News Heraldthat after the officers repeatedlyordered the man to put down hisgun, “the suspect engaged offi-cers and they returned fire.”

Police say the man was shotand taken to a hospital, where hewas pronounced dead. The sus-pect’s name has not beenreleased.

Charges dismissed against

Missouri officer in shootingKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —

Prosecutors have dismissedcharges against a Missouri policeofficer who was indicted in thenonfatal shooting of a man dur-ing an arrest last summer, sayingthey wouldn’t have been able toget a conviction.

The Jackson County prosecu-tor’s office said late Friday that itdropped the case against 31-year-old Jacob Ramsey, who wasindicted in February on chargesof first-degree assault and armedcriminal action in the June 24shooting of 37-year-old AnthonyContreras.

“Like all prosecutors, we havea duty to be convinced that evi-dence supports a defendant’sguilt beyond a reasonabledoubt,” Jackson CountyProsecutor Jean Peters Bakersaid in the news release. “Oursubsequent investigation con-

vinced us that burden could notbe met.”

Prosecutors say Contreras wassuspected in a string of 31 theftsfrom tractor-trailers when anofficer saw him on the porch of ahome. The officer yelled at him“Anthony Stop!” but Contreraswent inside. Contreras thenemerged from the back door,where Ramsey and another offi-cer were stationed. Ramsey saidhe ordered Contreras to show hishands.

According to a summary ofBaker’s findings, Ramsey said hefired on Contreras becauseContreras’ right arm dipped andhe thought he was reaching for agun. Ramsey’s shot struck theleft side of Contreras’ face, seri-ously injuring his jaw, teeth andtongue.

Teen girl to stay in adult jail

until trial in mom’s murderALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A

judge has ruled that an eighth-grade girl accused of conspiringwith her soldier boyfriend by textmessage to have her motherkilled will remain in adult jailwhile awaiting trial.

Lehigh County Judge MariaDantos on Friday denied adefense petition to return 14-year-old Jamie Silvonek to thejuvenile facility where she wasinitially sent after the body of 54-year-old Cheryl Silvonek was dis-covered last month, according toboth the prosecutor and defenseattorney.

District Attorney Jim Martinhad opposed the petition onbehalf of the teenager, who ischarged as an adult with homi-cide and criminal conspiracy.Her boyfriend, Caleb Barnes, 20,who is from El Paso, Texas, butwas stationed at Fort Meade,Maryland, is charged with homi-cide.

Cheryl Silvonek’s body wasfound with stab wounds in ashallow grave about 50 milesnorthwest of Philadelphia, andher vehicle partially submergedin a pond a few miles from thefamily home.

Authorities said Barnes andthe teenager met in October,when she was 13, but she toldhim she was 17. The teen’s moth-er found out about their relation-ship in early March and orderedthem to end it. A day later, theteen told Barnes in a text, “I wanther gone,” police said.

Defense attorney JohnWaldron, however, maintainsthat the teenager must have beenunder “some type of duress orcoercion,” citing the age differ-ence. He also said she wept andtold him how much she missedher mother and that she fearedfor her life and that of her father.

County officials say JamieSilvonek in the women’s housingunit, away from older inmates.

Attorneys seek dismissal of

charges in Islamic State caseCHICAGO (AP) — Attorneys for

a Chicago-area man chargedwith trying to join the IslamicState group in Syria are seekingthe dismissal of the charges.

Lawyers for 19-year-oldMohammed Hamzah Khan alsofiled a motion Friday in U.S.District Court in Chicago seekingto suppress statements he madeto law enforcement.

In seeking to dismiss thecharges, Khan’s attorneys con-tend the desire he expressed to“emigrate” to an “Islamic state”was just an expression of his reli-gious freedom. They say a letterto his parents is evidence of hisintent to emigrate, not to supplymaterial support to the group.

Khan’s lawyers also say hisstatements to investigators weremade prior to his receiving aMiranda warning. They say hispost-Miranda statements shouldbe suppressed because theyresulted from the previous state-ments.

Downtown business opportunities explored by CouncilBy JOYANNA LOVE

Banner Senior Staff Writer

Exploring options for new business in the down-town area is getting discussion by the Cleveland CityCouncil.

During a recent budget planning work session, theCleveland City Council discussed having a down-town hotel/convention center market feasibilitystudy conducted.

“This essentially would be a third-party review totell us if there is a market for this type of facility,”Doug Berry, Cleveland/Bradley Chamber ofCommerce vice president for economic development,said.

City staff included $20,000 from the sales taxbudget to fund the study in the 2015-2016 budgetproposal.

A proposal by Hotel & Leisure Advisors outlinestheir research plan. This would include traveling todowntown, developing objectives of the facility,speaking with community shareholders, local hotelowners and potential customers.

This company, based in Cleveland, Ohio, is onethat has worked with Whirlpool on projects in thepast.

A downtown hotel had been mentioned in previousmeetings as the CityCouncil discussed the possibilityof converting The Summit into a hotel. The building,which was once the Cherokee Hotel, is one of severalhistoric downtown buildings.

The company could also conduct an economicimpact study to outline how such a facility wouldimpact the downtown area, if the second phase of thestudy was approved.

Berry said there are options the City Council canconsider when deciding how to move forward. Heemphasized the importance of keeping the downtownarea successful.

“We are not achieveing full revenue earningspotential that we could on some of our existingassets that are already in the city. I think that is thestatement we need about redevelopment,” Berrysaid.

This can be accomplished by working with proper-ty owners of currently empty buildings, he said.Recently, some of these empty spaces have beenturned into apartments. Berry said incentives forredevelopment in the downtown area should also beconsidered.

“Incentivize the residential, which ... encouragesthe restaurants to stay open in the evenings,” Berry

said. The Old Woolen Mill was cited as a local example

of a building owner driving redevelopment of anabandoned site. Berry said effective partnerships arekey to success of redevelopment in downtown andsurrounding areas.

Councilman Bill Estes said redevelopment of thedowntown area had the potential to give the city a“better return on investment” than even the SpringBranch Industrial park.

“As we finish off this project (Spring BranchIndustrial Park) and we need to finish this project off,we need to turn our attention and efforts to the rede-velopment,” Estes said.

Berry said Whirlpool is willing to partner in thefuture of the site.

“I am happy to say that Whirlpool has jumped innow. Since they have vacated the site, they have ini-tiated their own review from the developer, land-scape, architecture standpoint to look at what theythink they can accomplish on behalf of their partner-ship with the community in redevelopment of thosesites,” Berry said.

He pointed to Benton Harbor, Mich., as a success-ful redevelopment of a former Whirlpool site. Mixeduse, not large manufacturing, is most likely what will

be coming to the site. Berry said the site does have some potential for

smaller “local, entrepreneurial” industries. Estescommented this kind of industry was a good fit withthe location’s proximity to downtown.

“The reality is we have 850 acres of potentialimpact area when you look at the adjoining neigh-borhoods,” Berry said. “We have a lot of environmen-tal assesments that have to occur in non-Whirlpoolareas.”

A 10- to 20-year plan would need to be drafted tofully make use of the Whirlpool site and surroundingareas, Berry said. Preliminary discussions havebegun.

“Every city I have been in all through this pastmonth it is all about this kind redevelopment,” Estessaid. “It’s not just the right thing to do, but I thinkthe return, the economic impact will be so muchgreater than just new construction out on the inter-state.”

He said these efforts in other areas have been driv-en by private investment, not government funding.

With recent state laws restricting how cities canannex additional land to grow their boundaries,Berry said redevelopment will be crucial to futuregrowth.

that were not crucial to the com-pletion that could be eliminatedto cut costs.

“As of today they are stillworking on the final figures, sowe are not going to be able tomake a recommendation,”Patten said. “What we hope to dois have that worked out in thenext week or two.”

State funding has beenapproved for the engineeringportion of the runway extensionproject. The Cleveland RegionalJetport is requesting $2 millionfor completion of the project.

Fidler said the state portion ofthis project likely would not befunded until the 2016 -2017 fis-cal year.

“Their (Tennessee departmentof Transportation Aeronauticsdivision) funds for the currentfiscal year are not coming in asthey had projected,” Patten said

The airport also has concernsabout how pending legislation atthe state level could impactfuture funding. House Bill1147and Senate Bill 0982 would set amaximum on how much tax onebusiness would pay on aviationfuel. FedEx currently pays morethan 50 percent of the aviationfuel taxes collected in the state.

Board member LeRoy Rymerand Fidler pointed out this tax isdirectly linked to something theyneed to operate, not simply anextra tax on the business.

Patten said this would mean“a tremendous cut” in the statefunding available for aviationprojects.

“I’ve talked to some of myfriends in the Legislature andthey think it is probably going topass,” Patten said.

The most recent amendmentto the bill would set the cap justover $21.3 million in the nextfiscal year and $17.7 million thefollowing year.

Patten said if the bill passes,FedEx would pay $12 millionless in aviation fuel tax in thefirst year. Patten said the situa-tion should be studied furtherbefore a bill is voted on.

“I think they are being shortsighted in pushing thisthrough,” Patten said.

Board member Steve Wrightsaid if the Legislature was going

to pass this, they should includea way to make up the differencein funding in the bill. Some areconcerned that if the bill doesnot pass, FedEx will move itsMemphis operations to an out ofstate location. Fidler said he didnot think that would happen.

Rymer said if the bill passed,it would have a long-term nega-tive impact on economic devel-opment, because municipal air-ports would not have the neces-sary funding to upgrade airportsto meet growing demands.

On Friday, the bill was placedon the Senate Regular Calendarfor consideration on Tuesday.The bill will be considered bythe House Finance Ways andMeans subcommittee on thesame day.

The sales tax on aviation fuelin Tennessee is 4.5 percent.

An anonymous letter sent tothe city has negatively impacted local revenue from the jetport.

The letter writer took issueswith the jetport allowing theSports Car Club of America tohold events on the tarmacbecause it was not an aviationrelated event.

Fidler said the meetings havebeen temporarily suspendeduntil Fidler receives a responsefrom the Federal AviationAdministration.

Fidler said he was writing aresponse to the letter for consid-eration by the FAA. He alsonoted there are other airports inthe country that allow similarevents on their property. Acontract for the club to holdmonthly events at the jetportwas approved by the board at aprevious meeting. The contractwas expected to bring in revenueof $19,800 at $1,800 per event.

The board approved a $1.2million budget for considerationby the Cleveland City Council.

Continual rain has postponedflights for the 10 studentsenrolled in the FBO’s flightschool.

Consideration of the ClevelandRegional Jetport as an extensionof the Chattanooga port hasbeen reviewed by the NewOrleans customs office and hasbeen passed on to the Memphisoffice for consideration.

almost mirrored each other.“Proven leader” was tops with

a score of 3.03 from the publicand 3.27 from the internal.

“Effective communication”was second on both with scoresof 2.83 from the public and 2.47from the internal.

Both surveys marked the sub-ject of experience as their thirdplace selection.

Public attitude toward theneed to be skilled in technologyand social media was slightlyhigher than that of those withinthe system.

Both surveys scored almostequally and highly it is impor-tant for the new director to havea proven record for improvingstudent achievement.

However, both surveys did notrate highly the need for priorexperience as a director with less

than 10 percent of the totalrespondents saying that qualifi-cation is “critical.”

Both surveys did rank highlythe need for a new director tohave served as a principal.

More than three-fourths of thetotal respondents ranked thatqualification as “critical” or“important.”

Those same rankings were alsoreflected in the importance of thedirector having prior experienceas a teacher.

Board members reading thesurvey will see some pointedremarks about their past actions— especially from the survey’sanswered from within the system.

Seventeen out of the 140 com-ments in the internal survey ref-erenced a dissatisfaction with theloss of former Director of SchoolsJohnny McDaniel.

There were two specific recom-mendations for director men-tioned in the comments.

Walker Valley High SchoolPrincipal Danny Coggins and cur-rent Interim Director ScottHumberd were both given highmarks on a few of the commentsto be elevated to the director’spost.

There were also suggestions theboard should go outside the cur-rent system.

“Sometimes an objective, fresh,unbiased view is what is neededto repair and bring unity,” onecommentator wrote.

Throughout the comments,there are some direct criticisms ofthe board itself.

While those criticisms were notin the majority, it was numerousenough to be notable.

“I find it funny that the board is

now interested in the teachers’input when then teachers werenot included in any of the discus-sion regarding what has recentlyoccurred on the board and in ourdistrict,” wrote one internal com-mentator. “The teachers are theglue holding the district together,yet our opinions never seem tomatter.”

“What I really want to see in adirector or a board of educationthat supports him/her withoutpersonal power control issuesand vendettas,” another wrote.

The 15th and last commentsubmitted from the public seemsto be a summary of all the others:

“The school board needs to hita home run with the next choicefor director of schools. Prove to usthat politics is not a factor andmake the best choice for BradleyCounty schools.”

Initial estimates put the costof the facility at $2.8 million andthe resolution calls for it to befunded for the next fiscal year.

Tenth District AttorneyGeneral Steve Crump and localjudges have all expressed theirsupport for the building.

Now, another part of the judi-ciary process has expressed itsvocal appreciation for the effortand hoped for result.

Alvin Word III, grand juryforeman, said in a letter to com-missioners this week it tookmonths of “dedicated time andeffort to bring together a con-sensus that our county is inneed of the workhouse and workrelease program.”

He noted the grand jury itself

recommended in 2012 the proj-ect be a priority “for the benefitof all Bradley County citizens.”

In his letter, Word wanted topersonally thank the workhousecommittee “for all their time andeffort spent in time and travel tomake this much need facility areality.”

“The commissioners, led byLouie Alford, and our CountyMayor, Gary Davis, have provid-ed great insight to the grandjury and to the workhouse com-mittee,” Word wrote.

“It is our belief and under-standing that this program willhelp with the overcrowding ofour current jail facility and givethose who are sentenced to thisprogram an opportunity, with anon-violent conviction to paytheir debt to society, keep a job,get a GED if needed to get a joband to be given a direction, ifwanted to find their moral com-pass for their life,” he continued.

“The vast majority of thesemen and women are good peoplewho have made one or more badchoices. I am glad to have beenpart of this program that overtime will be of great benefit andimportance to all of our commu-nity.”

Management Agency, the BradleyCounty EMS as well as ConstablesWayne Henry and Steve Anderson.

“We are not giving up,” Watsonsaid at the end of a long day. “Wewill keep trying — hoping to find alead that will help this man hometo his family.”

The sheriff asked that anyonewith any information that couldhelp to contact the sheriff’s depart-ment at 423-728-7300.

Volunteers from “Cleveland 100”provided food for the volunteers inthe search or the missing man.

Brenda Lawson, president of“Cleveland 100,” along withCleveland Mayor Tom Rowlandand his wife, Sandra, took the foodto the command post Saturdayafternoon. The food was courtesyof Cooke’s Food Store.

“Cooke’s has been extremelygenerous to the efforts of‘Cleveland 100’ and emergencyservices,” Rowland said.

“They call and report these peo-ple. They call and report crime,”he said.

Watson said one of the biggestburglary rings involving 128 casesin the county was solved with onephone call.

“A lady called. She knew a vehi-cle in her neighborhood didn’tbelong there,” he said. “It’sthrough that type of relationshipwith the community and buildingthat type of trust these cases arebeing solved.”

Watson said it is a reason hefeels the quarterly town hall meet-ings are so important.

“We want to hear the concernsof the community. We want toknow what we can do better toserve the people,” he said.

The sheriff also gave credit to“the hard work of our officers.”

“They are hard workers. Theydon’t complain to work or workovertime if needed to solve some-one’s burglary or theft. They gothe extra mile,” Watson said.

He noted there has been “timeafter time” when BCSO officershave fed people “out of their ownpocket.”

“There was a situation a fewweeks ago where two of our offi-

cers found a family with a 3-month-old baby living underneatha bridge,” he said. “They tookthem to a hotel and paid for themto stay out of their own pocketuntil we could get a church tohelp.”

“They don’t do it for fame andglory. I didn’t know anythingabout it until I heard it throughthe rumor mill. We did congratu-late and recognize their efforts inhelping those less fortunate,” hesaid.

Watson said the success therecent numbers show is because“everybody has come together” in

the department.“They have seen the goals of

this department,” he said. “I setsome pretty tough goals on dayone and a lot of sleepless nightsdetermining how to distribute thework load around the department,what kind of tools can make theofficers’ jobs better and have goodcommunication with the public.”

“We can have all the tools, cam-eras and forensic equipment inthe world. But, 80 percent of ourcrimes are solved through thepublic’s help,” Watson said. “Thenit’s up to the officers to put thosepieces together. That’s their job.”

legislative delegation than youhave on this subject.”

He said promoting the needsof those special people is “not aneasy sell.”

“These are not mandatoryservices,” Henry said. “We makelittle wins all the time that wecelebrate. I don’t think there hasbeen any group that has the earof the state legislature like peo-ple with disabilities.”

He said in tough budget yearsas it is currently “it’s very diffi-cult to remain with the moneyyou’ve got.”

“We’re always appreciative ofwhat the legislature does for us,”he said.

Henry also said the same forthe directors and staff of LifeBridges.

“Every community that hasfacilities like this is a reflectionof that community and how theyreally care about people who areless fortunate,” Henry said. “Iseem to think that people willcare if they know about it.”

He said dealing with theirson’s difficulties “is still fresh inour memories.”

“Everything we do has beenmolded around our relationshipwith John,” he said.

Henry said he started outteaching before going to the realestate business.

“If anybody had told me thenI’d be doing what I’m doingtoday, I’d never have believedthem,” he said.

He recalled his years as astate legislator and RepublicanHouse minority leader where hebecame the chief advocate forpeople with disabilities.

“For 12 years, that was mymain business because I gotthere and a state senator not ofmy party told me to learn some-thing no one else knows and Iwould be the resident expert,”he recalled. “I thought about itand became the champion forpeople with disabilities.”

Henry said this position willend his public service careerwhich allows him the luxury to

say what he thinks — even tothe governor.

“He’s been nothing but sup-portive,” he said.

Henry also mentioned thecontinuing debate over the gov-ernor’s Insure Tennessee pro-gram.

“Let me tell you something.That will make a difference inchildren’s lives in Tennessee. Itwill make a difference of peoplehere [at Life Bridges].”

He said for individuals to beable to get mental health servic-es who are struggling to keeptheir children “is huge.”

“I’ve just got a feeling some-where along the road, we’regoing to come up in the rightplace. I’ve not given up on it.We’ve just got to work on it,” hesaid. “It’s a very controversialissue, but I think we’ll be finewith it. It will open up someopportunities for people — espe-cially children with disabilitiesand people in state custody.”

Henry said he was apprecia-tive of the work Life Bridges hasdone during its 42-year history.

“This is really a special com-

munity,” he said.Henry will be honored in

Washington, D.C. on April 22 bythe organization ChildHelp.

The commissioner and hissenior staff will be honored withthe ChildHelp Voice of theChildren Award at theChildhelp National Day of Hopecelebration at the Nation’s capi-tal.

“The outstanding work thatJim and his team are doing forTennessee’s at-risk children andfamilies should be brought tothe forefront,” said SaraO’Meara, co-founder, CEO andchairman of the board forArizona-based organization.

Mrs. Henry noted that datewill be the anniversary of theirson’s passing.

“We think John had some-thing to do with it,” she said.

The presentation will be madeby U.S. Sens. John McCain andDianne Feinstein.

That fact made Henry joke, “Ifthey can agree on anything,that’s not bad.”

Life Bridges CEO DianaJackson said she was apprecia-

tive of the commissioner’s visitand recognized the support ofthe board and staff.

“We have a strong board withover 175 years of service whenyou combine the directors wehave,” said Life Bridges CEODiana Jackson. “We’re excited.Life Bridges has grown. We are astaff who is blessed to do whatwe love and get paid for it andbe able to something we feel is acalling on our lives. It’s turnedinto a legacy for us and howgrateful we are.”

The agency is the 13th largestemployer in the county with 500employees and serves 170 in dayprograms and 120 in residentialsettings including supported liv-ing and group homes.

Highway abuzz with millions of bees after big truck tipsLYNNWOOD, Wash. (AP) — A

tractor-trailer carrying millionsof honeybees overturned on ahighway north of Seattle earlyFriday, scattering hives andsending white-suited beekeepersscrambling to save as manyinsects as they could.

The truck had just mergedonto Interstate 5 around 3:30a.m. when it tipped on its side,dumping its load of 448 hives, or

about 13.7 million bees,Washington State Patrol TrooperTravis Shearer said. The driver, a36-year-old man from Idaho, wasnot hurt.

The company that owns theinsects, Belleville Honey andBeekeeping Supply ofBurlington, sent beekeepers torecover as many as possible, andbees covered their protectivesuits as they worked.

The bees became more activeas the sun rose and the weatherwarmed, and firefighters had tospray a layer of foam on some ofthe boxes, killing the insects forsafety.

Many of the hives were stillalong the highway more thanseven hours after the accident,when a front-end loader beganscooping them up and dumpingthem into a dump truck, Shearer

said. The majority of the hiveshad been crushed.

The bees were being transport-ed from Sunnyside, in centralWashington, to a blueberry farmin Lynden, a city near theCanadian border about 100miles north of Seattle, Shearersaid. Their job: pollinating crops.

First responders and reportersalike swatted at the bees as theytried to do their jobs.

CINCINNATI (AP) — And thenthere were two.

Although most of the “DoolittleTokyo Raiders” beat long odds 73years ago, surviving anti-aircraftfire, crashed planes and vengefulJapanese soldiers, time has beentaking its own toll. Since their70th anniversary reunion at theNational Museum of the U.S. AirForce near Dayton, three moreRaiders have died, two of themthis year.

Retired Lt. Col. Richard “Dick”Cole, 99, and Staff Sgt. DavidThatcher, 93, are the last of theoriginal 80 crew men from the 16B-25 bombers that attackedJapan, boosting American moraleand stunning Japan less than fivemonths after its attack on PearlHarbor brought the United Statesinto World War II. They returned tothe museum in Ohio for aSaturday event ceremony to pres-ent the Raiders’ CongressionalGold Medal for display.

“It just happens that way, Iguess,” Thatcher, of Missoula,Montana, said of being one of thelast survivors.

“Something’s just got to give,”said Cole, a Dayton native wholives in Comfort, Texas.

The museum’s director, retiredLt. Gen. Jack Hudson, acceptedthe medal, the highest honorCongress can give a civilian, forthem in Washington onWednesday. In a video message,Cole said it was an honor toreceive the medal “on behalf of 78fallen Raiders who we proudlyserved with on that famous raid.”

The latest Raider to fall was Lt.Col. Robert Hite, who died March29 at age 95 at a Nashville,Tennessee, nursing facility. Hitewas also the last of the eight

Raiders who were captured byJapanese soldiers. Three were exe-cuted and a fourth died in captivi-ty. Three other Raiders were killedsoon after the bombing run, asmost crash-landed or had to ditch.

Cole was the co-pilot for theirmission’s leader, James “Jimmy”Doolittle, in plane No. 1 of the 16.Thatcher was engineer-gunneraboard the 7th plane, nicknamed“The Ruptured Duck,” whosecrew’s crash-landing and evasionof Japanese troops in China wasdepicted in the movie “ThirtySeconds Over Tokyo.”

Thatcher, who was played byRobert Walker in the movie whileSpencer Tracy portrayed Doolittle,chuckled as he recounted how theRaiders had given little thought atthe time of the raid about earninga place in history.

“We figured it was just anotherbombing mission,” he said in aphone interview from his homethis week.

In the years afterward, though,he said, they realized: “It was animportant event in World War II.”

Thatcher, who said he uses acane and walker but otherwise is“getting around OK,” was lookingforward to weekend events includ-ing reunions with family members

of the other Raiders to share sto-ries and remembrances.

“You learn something new everytime,” Thatcher said.

Thatcher joined Cole and Lt.Col. Edward Saylor at the muse-um less than two years ago for apublic “Final Toast” in which theylifted specially engraved silver gob-lets for the traditional toast of theirreunions to those who have gone.He and Cole planned to do soagain this weekend at a privategathering, now saluting Hite andSaylor, who died in January at 94,among the fallen.

Their medal will go on display inthe diorama about their raid at themuseum, where the director,Hudson, has pledged their inspira-tional story “will live on.”

Lee University and its com-munity partners celebratedraising $74,147 for the CysticFibrosis Foundation with aluncheon Friday.

The funds were raised byteams participating in the 2015Great Strides Walk and 65Roses 5K.

The top team this year was ajoint venture by Garden Plazaof Cleveland and Life CareCenters of Cleveland. Togetherthey raised more than $6,000.

The top student team wasthe Lee U Student LeadershipCouncil raising $2,230.

Some of the teams that par-ticipate are family members ofsomeone who has been diag-nosed with cystic fibrosis. Thetop CF family team this yearwas Dalton’s Gang, whichraised more than $4,200.

“Dalton is a young boy in ourcommunity with CF,” VanessaHammond of Lee Universitysaid.

She said it means a lot tothose in the community whohave CF to see a group of peo-ple who care.

“I talked to another mom.She has a little boy namedLucas. She said, ‘It has been sosupportive to her and her fam-ily to know how many peoplecare and participate,’”

Hammond said.Lucas’ CF team was named

Lucas’ Avengers.There a total of 28 teams

that participated.“One of the goals of Great

Strides is to raise awarenessabout cystic fibrosis,”Hammond said.

According to the CysticFibrosis Foundation website,“Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic diseasethat primarily affects the lungsand digestive system.”

“Your community has trulyopened your arms andembraced the cause,” LeighEllington, director of develop-ment for the Tennessee CysticFibrosis Foundation, said.

She said because of theefforts “decades of life” havebeen added for CF families. Theultimate goal is a one-timetreatment cure.

“I am excited to say that it iswithin reach,” Ellington said.

Lee University’s studentcoordinator for the event wasAmy Marona. Debbie Meltonserved as community chair.

“It was wonderful to workwith you Debbie, and shehelped us tremendously withsponsorships,” Hammond said.

Hammond presented Meltonwith a plaque of appreciationfor her “generous service.”

On July 5, the FDA will makea decision on a new drug for

treatment of the disease. Ifapproved, this drug wouldshorten the treatment time toget the disease under control,she said.

“When we started this 15years ago, we knew it was agreat opportunity to partnerLee University with the com-munity,” Mike Hayes, vice pres-ident for Student Development,said. “Great Strides is everyonepulling together … despite allthe weather challenges (freez-ing temperatures) we had over200 walkers that day.”

In the past 15 years, theCleveland Great Strides hasraised more than $700,000 forthe cause.

“One of the reasons I thinkthat cystic fibrosis resonatedas a cause among our students… was Nathan. He was a youngman who grew up in our com-munity, went to Cleveland highSchool, graduated… came toLee, graduated … and was sowell loved and respected by theuniversity family and in thecommunity family,” LeeUniversity President Dr. PaulConn said.

“This is one of the ways thatthis cause was personalized forall of us.”

The Cleveland Great Stridesis the only event out of 600 thathas added a run to accompanythe walk.

Some victims of California explosion released from hospital

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — PacificGas & Electric Co. investigatorswere at the scene Saturday of anatural gas pipeline blast at asheriff’s gun range, as four of the11 people injured in the explosionwere released from the hospital.

The victims included twoFresno County sheriff’s deputies,a public works employee andeight jail inmates, according tosheriff’s spokesman Tony Botti.

The deputies and two of theinmates were released. The pub-lic works employee and anotherinmate were in critical condition,with the inmate’s condition con-sidered life-threatening, Bottisaid.

Friday’s explosion on a PG&Epipe occurred at the FresnoCounty sheriff’s gun range whilethe county employee was using afront-loader to build a dirt bermto confine gunfire to the range,

sheriff’s officials said.A group of county jail inmates

was doing cleanup work about 50feet away, Botti said.

The explosion sent flames tow-ering over Highway 99 andwarped 400 feet of nearby railwayline, shutting both down.

It was not clear whether thefront-loader was being used to digat the time of the explosion, fireand sheriff’s officials said.

PG&E’s natural-gas operationshave been under scrutiny since afiery 2010 PG&E pipeline blastkilled eight people in the SanFrancisco suburb of San Bruno.National Transportation SafetyBoard investigators blamed faultysafety practices by PG&E, and laxoversight by state regulators, forthe 2010 blast.

PG&E said the pipeline inFriday’s incident was buried andwas damaged by a vehicle. The

company was not notified inadvance of any work in the area,spokesman Nick Stimmel said.Such advance notice allowsPG&E to mark any gas lines.

Sheriff Margaret Mims saidPG&E had previously marked thelocation of gas lines in the con-struction zones.

PG&E crews planned to capthe line on Saturday so theycould remove the damaged sec-tion, Stimmel said.

Crews were expected to com-plete repairs and reopen thefreight rail line that was damagedon Saturday, Union Pacificspokesman Francisco Castillosaid.

The California Public UtilitiesCommission said it was alsoinvestigating the explosion incooperation with the federalPipeline and Hazardous MaterialsSafety Administration.

Ohio officer praised for restraint

NEW RICHMOND, Ohio (AP) —An Ohio police officer is beingpraised for holding his fire evenas a slaying suspect chargedhim, saying repeatedly, “shootme.”

WLWT-TV in Cincinnatireported (http://bit.ly/1EXuKaK) the tense moments were cap-tured Thursday on a body cam-era worn by New Richmond offi-cer Jesse Kidder.

The video shows Kidderrepeatedly backpedaling andtelling 27-year-old MichaelWilcox he doesn’t want to shoothim.

“Law enforcement officers allacross the nation have to dealwith split-second decisions thatmean life or death,” Kidder said.“I wanted to be absolutely surebefore I used deadly force.”

The New Richmond PoliceDepartment Web site says Kidderhad been sworn in to join the vil-lage police force last April 16,after serving in Iraq as a Marine.One year later, he found himselffacing his toughest police chal-lenge so far. Kidder said dis-patchers warned him Wilcoxcould try to force a “suicide bycop.”

“He jumped out and he sprint-ed toward me. I had my firearmalready drawn ... and I told himto put his hands up in the airand he was screaming ... ‘Shootme! Shoot me!’ “

Facsimile of first Elvis recording re-released

NASHVILLE (AP) — After anony-mously buying Elvis’ first-everrecording at a January auction,Jack White is offering a limited-run vinyl re-release of “MyHappiness” and “That’s WhenYour Heartaches Begin” at hisThird Man Records in Nashville.

The 10-inch, 78-rpm facsimileof the 1953 recording was digitallytransferred from the originalacetate onto new vinyl discs withno cleanup — pops, crackles andall.

“It’s exactly what came off thegrooves,” Third Man’s BenBlackwell said.

The record is being sold in aplain paper sleeve because that’s“what Elvis would have walked outof Sun with a record in,” Blackwellsaid.

“Sun” is, of course, SunRecords, the legendary Memphislabel operated by Sam Phillips.Presley paid $4 for the recording.Six decades later, White paid$300,000.

Super-fans camped out in frontof Third Man beginning Fridaymorning to make sure they couldget their hands on the Elvis recordand other goodies available onlyfor Record Store Day. That includ-ed the first commercially availablevinyl edition of “Get Behind MeSatan” from White’s former bandThe White Stripes. The originalElvis recording was on display atThird Man as well.

The first four people in line weremother-and-son teams fromCleveland and Indianapolis.

Christina Condor, said her loveaffair with White and his storebegan about three years ago whenshe saw him perform on“Saturday Night Live.”

“I fell in love with his music andstarted buying more and morealbums,” she said. She also intro-duced her 24-year-old son MaxxTrevino to the scene.

Although she and Trevino make

the 8-hour drive from Ohio everyfew months for special storeevents, she has glimpsed Whiteonly rarely on her trips toNashville.

“I drove into the curb the firsttime I saw him,” she said.

“She dented the bumper,”Trevino said. “And there was aBeatles school-girl scream.”

Nicholas Lynch, who was in linewith his mother, Mary Page, saidhe moderates a Facebook page forcollectors of Third Man’s records.He estimated that at least 100members of the group were in theline of about 700 people waitingfor the store’s 10 a.m. opening.

Lynch also was one of about 50customers who had been able tosign up online to relive the 18-year-old Elvis’ recording experi-ence by cutting his own single ona one-microphone, direct-to-acetate setup in Third Man’s BlueRoom.

He planned to play “Baby PleaseDon’t Go” and then morph into theWhite Stripe’s “Little Bird.”

Once inside the store, Page saidthat she, Lynch and Lynch’s girl-friend spent more than $500 onmerchandise. That included aRecord-Store-Day-only version ofthe White Stripes album with onered disc and one white disc. It alsohas a lenticular cover — one ofthose images that changes as youmove it around.

Nonexclusive versions of theWhite Stripes album and the Elvisrecord will be released to a wideraudience later this year, Blackwellsaid. Among the differences, theElvis recording will be cleaned upand “Get Behind Me Satan” will bestamped on standard black vinyl.

But for collectors like Condor,Trevino, Lynch and Page, waitingin line for 26 hours for the exclu-sive versions was worth it.

“Why do we do it? Our love ofJack White,” Condor said. “AndElvis too.”

HOUSTON (AP) — A Texassheriff said Saturday that hecould not arrest and charge a vet-erinarian shown in a Facebookpost bragging about killing a catwith a bow and arrow unless aninvestigation determines the pic-ture of the dead cat is genuine.

Austin County Sheriff JackBrandes said he was disturbed bythe image that shows KristenLindsey holding up what shedescribed as a dead feral tom cat.He has assigned two deputies andan investigator to the case.

“I’ve had people calling me fromall over the country expressingtheir concern,” Brandes said,speaking from a pasture whileinspecting his cattle. “I just wanteverybody to know several things.We can’t arrest and charge some-one like that based on a pictureon the internet. We have to makesure that is true and correct.

“Anybody can take a computerand alter a photograph.”

The operators of the clinicwhere Lindsey worked inBrenham, about 100 miles north-west of Houston, said Friday shewas fired after they learned of theposting earlier in the week, whichhas since been removed, alongwith her Facebook account. Theposting prompted hundreds ofphone calls also to theWashington Animal Clinic.

“We are absolutely appalled,shocked, upset, and disgusted bythe conduct,” the clinic posted onits web site. “We do not allow suchconduct and we condemn it in thestrongest possible manner.”

Bruce Buenger told Bryan-College Station television stationKBTX (http://bit.ly/1CWummO), which first reported the story,his clinic’s goal was to “try to fixour black eye and hope that peo-ple are reasonable and under-stand that those actions don’tanyway portray what we’re forhere.”

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — TheOklahoma City bombing thrustDiane Koch into the life of a crimevictim’s advocate for 13 years,until she realized she had to leavethe state to start a new chapter oflife.

Bud Welch said his ability toeventually forgive enabled him tosurvive emotionally after the deathof his daughter. For JannieCoverdale, though, there’s “nosuch thing” as moving on, evenafter two decades.

All three lost loved ones 20 yearsago Sunday, when TimothyMcVeigh blew up the OklahomaCity federal building with a rentaltruck laden with explosives.However, all three took differentpaths as they tried to come to gripswith a pain that never fully heals.

Koch initially sought justice forher husband and the 167 otherpeople killed in the attack, eventu-ally becoming an advocate for vic-tims of all crimes in a role at theOklahoma attorney general’soffice.

“It was my life for 13 years,”Koch said. “I just had a heart forthose who have been hurt by crime— and still do.”

But the intensity she threw ather job prevented her from lettinggo of the trauma of April 19, 1995.

“The first few years, I couldn’tsee beauty anywhere,” she said.“You can’t even see sunshine.You’re blinded to anything posi-tive, it seems like.”

McVeigh and Terry Nichols wereconvicted of conspiring to detonatea truck filled with more than twotons of ammonium nitrate and fueloil outside the Oklahoma City fed-eral building and of the deaths ofeight federal law enforcement offi-cers, including Koch’s husband,Secret Service agent Don Leonard.

McVeigh was eventually execut-ed and Nichols will spend the restof his life in prison.

For Koch, now 68, remarriedand living in another state, movingon meant moving away.

Finance officials see rising risks to economic recoveryWASHINGTON (AP) — World finance officials said

Saturday they see a number of threats on the hori-zon for a global economy still clawing back from thedeepest recession in seven decades, and a potentialGreek debt default presents the most immediaterisk.

After finance officials wrapped up three days oftalks, the International Monetary Fund’s policycommittee set a goal of working toward a “morerobust, balanced and job-rich global economy”while acknowledging growing risks to achievingthat objective.

The Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis,held a series of talks with finance officials on thesidelines of the spring meetings of the 188-nationIMF and World Bank, trying to settle his country’slatest crisis.

Mario Draghi, head of the European CentralBank, said it was “urgent” to resolve the disputebetween Greece and its creditors.

A default, he said, would send the global econo-my into “uncharted waters” and the extent of thepossible damage would be hard to estimate. He toldreporters that he did not want to even contemplatethe chance of a default.

Earlier in the week, IMF Managing DirectorChristine Lagarde had rejected suggestions thather agency might postpone repayment deadlinesfor Greece. On Saturday, she cited constructivetalks with Varoufakis and said the goal was to sta-bilize Greece’s finances and assure an economicrecovery and “make sure the whole partnershiphangs together” between Greece and its creditors.

In its closing communique, the policy-settingpanel for the World Bank expressed concerns aboutthe unevenness of global growth and pledged towork with the IMF to provide economic support forpoor nations that have been hit hard by fallingcommodity prices.

But international aid group Oxfam expresseddisappointment that the IMF and World Bank didnot devote more time to exploring ways to lessenwidening income gaps.

“Given that rising inequality continues to makethe headlines everywhere in the world, it is surpris-ing how the issue remained almost totally absentfrom these spring meetings,” said NicolasMombrial, head of the Washington office of OxfamInternational.

Greece is in negotiations with the IMF and

European authorities to receive the final 7.2 billioneuro ($7.8 billion) installment of its financialbailout. Creditors are demanding that Greece pro-duce a credible overhaul before releasing themoney.

The country has relied on international loanssince 2010. Without more bailout money, Greececould miss two debt payments due to the IMF inMay and run out of cash to pay governmentsalaries and pensions.

Fears that Greece could default and abandon theeuro currency group sent shockwaves throughglobal markets Friday. After being down nearly 360points, the Dow Jones industrial average recovereda bit to finish down 279.47.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said that aGreek default would “create immediate hardship”for Greece and damage the world economy.

In a speech Saturday to the IMF panel, Lewurged South Korea, Germany, China and Japan todo more to increase consumer demand in their owncountries instead of relying on exports to theUnited States and elsewhere for growth.

“We are concerned that the global economy isreverting to the pre-crisis pattern of heavy reliance

on U.S. demand for growth,” Lew said. “As we allknow, such a pattern will not lead to strong, sus-tainable and balanced global growth.”

The negotiations over Greece’s debt have provedcontentious but all sides have expressed optimismthat the differences can be resolved.

A number of countries directed criticism towardthe U.S. for the failure of Congress to pass thelegislation needed to put into effect IMF reformsthat would boost the agency’s capacity to makeloans and increase the voting power of suchemerging economic powers as China, Brazil andIndia.

Agustin Carstens, the head of Mexico’s centralbank and the chair of the IMF policy panel, saidthat “pretty much all of the members expresseddeep disappointment” that a failure of Congressto act is blocking implementation of the reforms.The IMF panel directed IMF officials to explorewhether any interim reforms could be put intoeffect pending congressional action.

The finance ministers urged central banksincluding the Federal Reserve to clearly commu-nicate future policy changes to avoid triggeringunwanted turbulence in financial markets.

KAylee KemP climbs on her father’s gravestone as her mother, Courtney, sits on a nearby bench inJonesville, La. Shortly before his unexpected death on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, Wyatt had askedCourtney to bury him with photos of Kaylee and her little sister, Maddison.

5 years on, empty graves, full hearts for Gulf survivors

JONESVILLE, La. (AP) —Courtney Kemp was gettingdressed for work when husbandWyatt walked in and sat down.He didn’t speak, but she couldtell something was weighing onhim.

She knew that things hadn’tbeen going well on the job, butWyatt never wanted to troubleher with details. They’d talkedoften about the risks of workingon an oil rig 41 miles out in theGulf of Mexico; Wyatt had alwaysinsisted that the most dangerouspart was the helicopter ride tothe Deepwater Horizon. In just afew days, the 27-year-old der-rickhand would be leaving for hisnext three-week hitch.

Courtney asked what waswrong.

“I just want you to know that ifsomething happened to me ... Idon’t want you to be by yourself,”he told her. “And I don’t want thegirls to grow up without some-body to be their father.”

“If something did, I wouldn’t beable to get over it,” she insisted.“I don’t know how I would go on.”

Courtney began to cry, andWyatt pulled her into a tightembrace.

“It’s all going to be OK,” heassured her.

In the five years since theDeepwater Horizon exploded andsank off the coast of Louisiana,the Gulf has shown remarkableresilience. So, too, have the fam-ilies of the 11 men who lost theirlives in the disaster.

But the shockwaves of April20, 2010, continue to send outripples across the gulf of time.

Children too young to have anyreal memories of their fathersask to hear stories and make pil-grimages to empty graves. Thefamily of one victim recently cele-brated the birth of his firstgrandchild; the mother of anoth-er is still coming to grips with thebitter fact that her youngest sonwill never give her grandkids.

These survivors are doing theirbest to balance the memory ofthe men they loved and the reali-ty that each of their own lives isan ongoing journey.

Consider the road traveled by ayoung widow named Courtney.

—-By the spring of 2010,

Courtney and Wyatt had beentogether nearly half their lives.

Shortly after high school grad-uation, they married and movedaway. But after just a couple ofyears, they were drawn back toJonesville, and to their comfort-

able “home” church.Wyatt found a job as a

roustabout on a land-based oilrig, then made the jump to theDeepwater Horizon, the “pride ofthe Transocean fleet.” They builta home amid the ironing board-flat pastures and croplands out-side town, and had two daugh-ters — Kaylee and Maddison.

Church remained a constantin their lives.

The Sunday before he left forhis last hitch on the rig, Wyattanswered the pastor’s invitationto approach the altar. WhenCourtney asked if everything wasOK, he replied simply: “Everyoneneeds prayer at some time oranother.”

He’d had just a few weeks withnewborn Maddison before it wastime to return to the DeepwaterHorizon.

Around noon on April 20,Wyatt called from theDeepwater’s tower. It had been arough hitch, and he was ready tocome home.

“I’ll see y’all tomorrow,” hesaid.

At 4:30 the next morning,Courtney was jolted awake by thetelephone. A woman fromTransocean said there had beenan accident.

The couple’s pastor was therewhen Courtney learned thatWyatt was dead. He asked if sheremembered the altar call.

“Wyatt told me that he wantedto be so close to God that hecouldn’t get any closer,” he said.

—-Ten days after the explosion,

Wyatt’s memorial was held atPleasant Grove Baptist Church.Roughneck Dustin Robertsonwas among those who came topay their respects.

The day of the accident,Robertson was working on BP’sThunder Horse platform, about30 miles from the Deepwater. Hewatched helplessly as the flamesshooting from the stricken rig litup the horizon.

At the church, Robertson lis-tened as family and friends eulo-gized the man who read the Bibleto his girls and would sing DollyParton’s “Nine to Five” as helaced up his work boots. Sittingthere, Robertson knew that itcould easily be his wife anddaughters crying in that frontpew.

As the investigations and law-suits dragged on, Wyatt’s insis-tence that she remarry keptechoing in Courtney’s mind. Sheasked God to “send me the right

guy.”Following the disaster,

Robertson had decided to start aBible study on his rig. He askedKemp’s widow if she would sharehis “testimony.”

In March 2011, Robertsoninvited her to lunch so he couldshow her how he’d workedWyatt’s story into his lessonplan.

When they parted, Robertson— who was separated from hiswife — asked if he could callCourtney from time to time; shesaid yes. He called later thatafternoon and asked if he couldtake her out on a date thatSaturday.

They drove all over Jonesvilleand down the road to Jena,Robertson’s hometown, forget-ting even to stop to eat.

“We talked for hours,” shesays. “And it was easy.”

Three months later, Courtneytold her father she thought“Dusti” was “the one.”

There was just one thing: Ifthey were going to be together,Robertson would have to leavethe oilfield.

—-The couple were married on

April 14, 2012. Robertson isnow youth minister at thechurch where he first sawCourtney.

They live in the spacioushome Courtney and Wyatt built.In November, Corbin GraceRobertson joined her older sis-ters, Kaylee, 8, and Maddison,5.

Wyatt is still very present.Photos of him with the girls siton shelves and in bookcases. Aminiature of a memorial statueerected at Transocean’sHouston headquarters standson the family room mantel. Abronzed hard hat with Wyatt’sname on the brim sits in a glassbox beside the dining roomtable.

Kaylee and Maddison callRobertson “Daddy.” Wyatt issimply “daddy in heaven.”

The ThreemAsTs of the 213

feet long frigateHermione sails at

La Rochelle, south-west France, as

part of preparationof a trip to America

on Wednesday.The replica of thefrigate Hermione,

which, in 1780,allowed La Fayette

the Americanrebels in their

struggle for inde-pendence aims tocross the Atlantic

and will sets off onSaturday.

French replica of revolutionaryfrigate sets sail for Boston

FOURAS, France (AP) — Withchampagne, fireworks and apresidential blessing, apainstakingly built replica of thefrigate once used to bringFrench troops and funds toAmerican revolutionaries set sailSaturday for the U.S. EastCoast.

With the celebratory sendoff,the 25 million euro ($27 million)Hermione began its voyage toretrace the 65-meter (213-foot)frigate’s trans-Atlantic journeyin 1780, when its namesakeunder the Marquis de Lafayette’scommand helped to lay the foun-dation of French-American rela-tions.

Lafayette persuaded FrenchKing Louis XVI to provide mili-tary and financial support toGeorge Washington’s troops.Lafayette set sail on the frigateon March 21, 1780, from thesouthwestern port of Fouras,arrived 38 days later in Boston,and played an important role inthe revolutionaries’ ultimatedefeat of Britain three years laterin the Battle of Yorktown withthe support of a French armyand fleet.

French President FrancoisHollande took a short trip on theship ahead of its official depar-ture Saturday night from thewaters off Fouras.

The Hermione is expected toreach Yorktown, Virginia, inJune, and then make severalother stops along the U.S. EastCoast, including Boston, andshould be in New York for theFourth of July.

The ship is the fruit of nearlytwo decades of brainstorming,fundraising and toil. Using cap-tains’ logs and manuscripts from

the era, maritime experts andhistorians ensured that workersused the same constructionmaterials and methods as thoseused to build the original.

Sailmakers sewed eyelets byhand on the 2,200 squaremeters (2,600 square yards) oflinen sails. Engineers replicatedthe pulley system. The vesseleven was built in the same ship-yard, in Rochefort in southwestFrance.

“It has been a very long proj-ect,” said Miles Young, presidentof the Friends of Hermione-Lafayette in America. “You don’tcreate an 18th century warshipvery easily these days. ... It tookenormous efforts to find enoughoak trees naturally shaped sothey could create the helm.”

Volunteer crew members fromFrance, the U.S. and other coun-tries are sailing the frigate, with“Hermione” carved across itsstern, across the Atlantic.

“Authority and respect for thehierarchy is what guaranteesour safety on board and ensuresthe boat runs smoothly,” saidcrewman Nicolas Masse. “Giventhat more than 70 percent of theship’s crew is made up of ama-teurs, never questioning the lineof command is something youhave to learn.”

A rigger, American WoodyWiest, praised the internationalcamaraderie aboard, and theunique experience of sailing inthe 21st century on a ship madeup of natural fibers and materi-als.

“When you put people side byside aboard a ship, they’re puk-ing together, they’re cleaning thetoilets together, they’re reallybonding,” he said. “It makes for

a very close and open relation-ship between people and it lastsforever.”

The relationship born ofLafayette’s journey has alsobeen lasting. Even in times ofmodern diplomatic tensions,American presidents routinelyrefer to France as “our oldestally.”

“If it hadn’t been for thatFrench intervention at thattime,” Young said, “the war ofindependence probably wouldn’thave been won.”

U.S. officials attendedSaturday’s events.

The U.S. had a chance toreciprocate for France’s supportin the American Revolution intwo World Wars. After the U.S.entered World War I, a seniorAmerican military officerdeclared “Lafayette, we are here”at the Revolutionary War hero’stomb in Paris.

Local resident IsabelleRousseau said of Saturday’svoyage, “France helped (theAmericans). They returned thefavor afterwards with the land-ing on the beaches in ‘44. ... It’sa magnificent journey.”

Among those aboard is AdamHodges-LeClaire, a volunteerapprentice tailor dressed in peri-od clothing.

“I wanted to push this experi-ment to its logical extreme, so Iprepared a full 18th centurywardrobe based on after-deathinventories I found in the Parisarchives and artwork from theperiod,” he said. “So I have a fullvalise of 18th century clothesand nothing else. The experi-ment doesn’t end until I get backto my house this fall and put onjeans again.”

ArchbishoP cesAre NosigliA presents the Holy Shroud, the 14 foot-long linen revered bysome as the burial cloth of Jesus, on display during a preview for the press at the Cathedral of Turin,Italy on Saturday. The long linen with the faded image of a bearded man, that is the object of centuries-old fascination and wonderment, will be on display for the public from April 19 to June 24. Pope Francissaid he is planning to visit the Holy Shroud during a pilgrimage to Turin next June 21.

Turin Shroud goes back on display for faithful and curious

TURIN, Italy (AP) — Turin’sarchbishop says interest in theShroud of Turin is so keen thatmany pilgrims who already sawthe burial cloth some believe cov-ered Jesus are returning to seethe linen again when it goes backon display starting Sunday.

The 4.3-meter-long (14-foot)cloth will be displayed April 19-June 24. Pope Francis will view iton June 21 on an overnight tripto the Turin area, which willinclude private time with rela-tives.

Public viewings of the clothwere last held in 2010.

“Many pilgrims who hadalready seen the shroud in pastshowings come back, eventhough some saw it just fiveyears ago,” Archbishop CesareNosiglia said on Saturday.

“That’s not a long time. And yetmany of the bookings we haveare people who have already seenthe shroud. That means there isa fundamental need in people’s

hearts to renew this incredibleexperience that they had the firsttime they saw it,” the prelate toldreporters.

Reservations are mandatorybut free of charge to see theshroud, displayed in a climate-controlled case, in Turin’s cathe-dral. Turin’s mayor said recentlythat more that 1 million peoplehad made reservations. In 2010,some 2.5 million people came,according to organizers of thedisplay.

The pope’s predecessor,Benedict XVI, has described thecloth as an icon “written with theblood” of a crucified man.Benedict said there was “full cor-respondence with what theGospels tell us of Jesus.”

When Pope John Paul II sawthe shroud in 1998, he said themystery forces questions aboutfaith and sciences and whether itreally was Jesus’ burial linen. Heurged continuous study.

Skeptics say the linen bearing

the figure of a crucified man is amedieval forgery.

Nosiglia said people of allfaiths will come to see theshroud, not just Christians.“Even non-believers will come.It’s an occasion that bringseverybody together and aims togive a precise response to the vio-lence in this world. It tells us thatthe way to build a fairer world isnot violence, but love,” he said.

Pope hopes Milan fair willhelp environmental effort

VATICAN CITY (AP) — PopeFrancis says Milan’s world’s fair,which opens on May 1, caninspire decision-makers to helpsave the “health of the planet thatGod entrusted to the care of thehuman race.”

Francis on Saturday praisedExpo’s theme of exploring waysthe planet can feed its people. Theexposition will run for sixmonths.

Islamic State blamed for Afghan suicide bombingFAIZABAD, Afghanistan (AP) —

A motorcycle-riding suicidebomber attacked a line of peoplewaiting outside a bank Saturdayin eastern Afghanistan, killing atleast 35 and wounding 125 in anassault the country’s presidentblamed on the Islamic Stategroup.

The accusation by PresidentAshraf Ghani, following localmedia reporting the Islamic Stategroup’s Afghan affiliate claimingthe attack, would mark a majorescalation in the extremists’ nas-cent campaign of violence in thecountry.

While nowhere near as powerfulas the Taliban, the affiliate’s abili-ty to strike at will would mark anew threat for the country to con-tend with as U.S. and NATO forcesended their combat mission at thestart of the year.

It also further stretches theIslamic State group’s influence farbeyond its self-declared caliphatestretching through a third of Iraqand Syria.

The attack in Jalalabad, thecapital of eastern Nangarharprovince, targeted a crowd of sol-diers and civilians gathered out-side the bank to receive theirmonthly salaries.

The blast killed at least 35 peo-

ple and wounded 125, saidAhmad Zia Abdulzai, aspokesman for the provincial gov-ernor.

Hours after the attack, Ghaniblamed the Islamic State group forthe bombing.

“In the horrific incident inNangarhar, who took responsibili-ty? The Taliban didn’t claimresponsibility. Daesh claimedresponsibility for it,” Ghani said,using an Arabic acronym for thegroup.

Local Afghan media quoted apreviously unknown man whoidentified himself as a spokesmanfor the Islamic State group’s affili-ate in the country, claimingresponsibility for the attack.

It’s not clear whether Ghanirelied on this for his remarks or ifhe had other intelligence at hisdisposal.

The Taliban denied it carriedout the bank attack and anotherelsewhere in the province thatkilled one civilian and woundedtwo.

“We condemn/deny involve-ment in both,” Taliban spokesmanZabiullah Mujahid tweeted.

The Islamic State group, cur-rently targeted by a U.S.-led coali-tion’s airstrikes and an Iraqiground offensive, has seen its

public image rise dramaticallysince it seized much of Iraq lastsummer. Its online videos andpropaganda, including scenes ofits mass killings and beheadings,have caught the attention of manyextremists.

In Libya, an Islamic State groupaffiliate has carried out attacksand beheaded 21 CopticChristians from Egypt. Insurgentsin Egypt’s strategic SinaiPeninsula also have pledged to thegroup, while another purportedaffiliate in Yemen claimed a seriesof suicide bombings in March thatkilled at least 137 people.

Ghani previously has warnedthat the Islamic State group wasstarting to establish a presence inAfghanistan. He used his visit tothe United States last month toreiterate his concerns.

“If we don’t stand on the sameline united, these people are goingto destroy us,” Ghani told a crowdof 600 people Saturday inFaizabad, the capital of northeast-ern Badakhshan province.

He called on the Taliban to joinwith the Kabul government, andsaid that any Taliban whoswitched allegiance to IslamicState group would earn thewrath of Afghanistan’s religiousleaders.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Getting thefirst victory in three weeks is nice.Beating the Chicago Blackhawksto avoid an 0-2 deficit before hit-ting the road is much, muchsweeter.

Craig Smith scored the first twoplayoff goals of his career andadded an assist, and the NashvillePredators beat the Blackhawks 6-2 on Friday night to tie theirWestern Conference opening-round playoff series at a gameapiece. It also was their first victo-ry since clinching a postseasonberth on March 28, and they did itin style with a postseason fran-chise-high six goals.

Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne,who was in net for six of the sevengames in the skid, called it a bigwin.

“It feels great. Winning is a lot offun, and at this point of the sea-son, it’s a high stakes and it’s a biggame and we come out like that,”Rinne said. “It’s fun to play athome. Obviously, second game athome and big, big, big tyinggaRinne made 24 saves for the winand even had an assist. FilipForsberg had a goal and an assist,and Colin Wilson, Roman Josi andMike Santorelli each scored a goal.Nashville lost captain Shea Weberto a lower-body injury nearly mid-way through the second period.

Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kanescored for Chicago, which is chas-ing its third Stanley Cup trophy insix years. Corey Crawford, yankedafter one period in Game 1, gaveup three goals in 2 minutes, 19seconds in the third period asNashville turned a tight game intoa rout late with the fastest three-goal spurt in the franchise’s playoffhistory.

“They stole some home ice here,”Nashville coach Peter Laviolettesaid. “We’ve got to go back intoChicago and get it back.”

Game 3 is Sunday in Chicago,and coach Joel Quennville has todecide whether to stick withCrawford or go with Scott Darling,who made all 42 saves in winningGame 1.

“We’ll see,” Quenneville said.“We’ll talk about it as we go alongtonight and tomorrow, and we’ll dowhat gives our best chance.”

Competitors muscle throughlocal Strongman competition

By SARALYN NORKUSBanner Sports Writer

Coming from near and far,28 bastions of strength gath-ered in Cleveland on Saturdayfor the True Grit StrongmanChallenge.

“This was our first event inSoutheast Tennessee for theUnited States Strongman. Ithink it went great and we hadpeople come from all over tocompete,” event organizerLarry Berry stated. “We had agood number (of competitors),a great crowd and the eventswent well — I really couldn’thave asked for anything bet-

ter.”Held at the Grit House gym

off Waterlevel Parkway, thefive-event Strongman competi-tion began at 9 a.m. and fin-ished up six hours later.

“The owners of this gym let-ting us use this place wereincredible. The volunteers wereawesome and we couldn’t havedone it without them.

They made this run smooth,”Berry declared. “The reactionfrom the competitors has beenvery, very good. They havepraised how well it ran andhow efficient it was.”

The 28 competitors weregrouped together based on

weight class (lightweight, mid-dleweight, heavyweight andsuper heavyweight) and com-petition level (novice or mas-ter). According to Berry, themen’s lightweight and mid-dleweight classes were themost competitive.

The competition was madeup of the axle clean and press,deadlift medley, tire flip, farm-ers carry and stones over bar.

Those competing in themen’s lightweight did the cleanand press with 200 poundsand the deadlift medley with a450-pound trapbar, 350-pound fatbar and 275-poundstandard bar. In the farmers

carry they had 200 pounds ineach hand and flipped a 500-pound tire. In the stones overbar event, they had to get a180-pound stone over a 48-inch high bar.

The middleweight men werebumped up to 225 pounds forclean and press, carried 240pounds in each hand for thefarmers carry and flipped the700-pound tire. In the deadliftmedley, they began with a 525-pound trapbar, 425-pound fat-bar and had 345 pounds onthe standard bar. A 240-poundstone was picked up and put

Jays beatBraves in10 innings

TORONTO (AP) — After waiting11 games for his first home runwith Toronto, Josh Donaldson isquickly making up for lost time.

Donaldson went deep for thethird time in two days, belting aleadoff shot in the 10th inningthat lifted the Blue Jays to a 6-5victory over the Atlanta Braves onSaturday.

It was the fourth game-endinghomer of Donaldson’s career.

“As a baseball player, as anycompetitor, you enjoy momentswhere you can win the game foryour team,” he said.

Donaldson’s drive into the sec-ond deck in left was his third hit ofthe afternoon. The slugger, whowas acquired in an offseason tradewith Oakland, had two homers inFriday night’s 8-7 loss to Atlanta.

Being in the spotlight is nothingnew for Donaldson, who hit 29homers and made the All-Starteam last year. But he feels any ofhis new teammates could havecome up with the big hit againstthe Braves.

“I think what’s great about thislineup is it can be anybody anygiven day,” he said. “We have a lotof guys in here that are very capa-ble of shouldering the load andtoday it was just my turn.”

Danny Valencia went 4 for 4 forToronto, and Jose Bautista con-nected for his third homer.Valencia matched his career highfor hits, accomplished three othertimes.

Voytik growing comfortable in new-look Pitt offensePITTSBURGH (AP) — Chad Voytik is prep-

ping for his second season as the startingquarterback at Pittsburgh, but in so manyways it seems like his first.

The impending junior knows what to expectonce the competition begins on September 5against Youngstown State, but it is the prepa-ration under the offensive staff that joined newhead coach Pat Narduzzi where Voytik needs tofind his way.

“It kind of feels the same with the newoffense,” Voytik said. “I am kind of back tosquare one. I kind of felt like a freshman. Asfar as my knowledge of the defense and overallIQ, it has helped me a lot this spring. I knowwhy we are running a certain concept if we seea certain coverage and I can attack that.”

Another concept that is new to Voytik: enter-ing Saturday’s Blue-Gold game as theentrenched starter. New coach Pat Narduzzibrought back the traditional spring wrap up —

with a twist — after former coach Paul Chrystopted for a series of scrimmages last year.Narduzzi brought in former Pitt stars LarryFitzgerald and Aaron Donald to serve as hon-orary coaches for the game, with teams select-ed during a live player draft.

Voytik will be surrounded by familiar facesin the huddle, with junior wide receiver TylerBoyd and running back James Conner joininghim on Fitzgerald’s team.

“It is going to be nice to be out there and geta crowd out there and have Fitzgerald andDonald come out,” Voytik said. “That will becool. It puts guys in a game situation. We havehad all spring to evaluate our play. This is kindof the grand evaluation. You see what you havelearned and how you can execute it.”

After a month of practicing, Voytik is readyto use his progressions and knowledge ofoffensive coordinator Jim Chaney’s playbookin a game setting.

“We installed a lot and learned a lot. It is hardto piece together your thought process and youremotions as well. If you think too much, youwill see a lack of accuracy,” Voytik said. “Thathas been the battle, to settle my mind.”

As for earning his spot and good graces withthe new coaching staff, Voytik proved to eachone of them he is ready for the challenge. Hegot to know Chaney when Chaney was work-ing at Tennessee trying to lure Voytik to theVolunteers. Voytik opted for the Panthersinstead, though Voytik feels their familiarity isspeeding up the process.

“It is nice to have known coach Jim Chaneybefore,” Voytik said. “We are just building offour previous relationship. It feels like theytrust me.”

Narduzzi has given his players plenty ofincentive to go hard. The winning team willdine on steak and lobster Saturday night,while it’s hot dogs for the losers.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — There wasno containing VladimirTarasenko this time around.

Held to an assist without ashot in a deflating Game 1 loss,Tarasenko responded with hisfirst career playoff hat trick, andthe St. Louis Blues beat theMinnesota Wild 4-1 on Saturdayto even their first-round series ata game apiece.

“You need to forget whatever itwas. Bad game, good game, does-n’t matter,” Tarasenko said.

“You need to make a next step.If you think about your success,you’ll stop playing.”

Tarasenko scored two goals inthe first period and an empty-netter with 17 seconds remaining

in an impressive performancemore in line with his play in theregular season. The dynamicwinger ran his playoff total toseven goals in nine games.

“We need him to rise up,”coach Ken Hitchcock said. “Forus to have success, our bestplayers have to be significant,and that was a big step today.

“We needed more of that andwe got it.”

Patrik Berglund stole the puckfrom Jordan Schroeder at centerice and beat Devan Dubnyk for atwo-goal cushion with 1:58 to go,sending the Central Divisionchampions to Minnesota with themomentum for Game 3 onMonday night. It was Berglund’s

fifth career playoff goal.“You lose a game and it’s frus-

trating, it’s disappointing,” Wildcoach Mike Yeo said. “We knewwe were going to face their bestgame.

“We’ll find a way to get better.”The Wild trimmed St. Louis’

lead to 2-1 when MarcoScandella scored on a slap shotthat broke his stick and snuckpast Jake Allen at 1:46 of thethird. Allen, the first rookie goal-tender to win a playoff game forthe Blues since 1990, survivedanother few close calls before thefinal flurry.

Minnesota had won 13 of itslast 14 road games, including a12-game streak that ended in theregular-season finale in St. Louisafter it had clinched a wild cardand several regulars were rested.

Defenseman KevinShattenkirk assisted on both ofTarasenko’s goals in the firstperiod, giving him four points inthe series.

The Blues made several slickpasses to set up Tarasenko’sdeflection of a shot from thepoint by Alexander Steen at13:18.

Tarasenko scored on theBlues’ next shot on a power playlate in the first. Dubnyk strayedjust enough from guarding thepost and the Blues’ top scorersnuck one in off the goalie’s padfrom a severe angle at 18:01.

“That’s just a mistake by me,”Dubnyk said. “It’s not a goodgoal. Make sure it doesn’t hap-pen again.”

Besides the empty-netter,Tarasenko had two more good

chances in the second period, alunging one-timer and a qualityshot on the rush near the buzzer.He set career highs with 37 goalsand 36 assists in the regular sea-son.

Thomas Vanek and CharlieCoyle assisted on Scandella’sfourth career playoff goal, withall three earning their first pointof the series.

Coyle hit the crossbar falling tohis knees with just under nineminutes to go, and Blues captainDavid Backes cleared the puckfrom the crease.

Allen used much of his body tomake a save midway through thesecond period after a dump-in byRyan Suter deflected off a seamin the glass. The puck bouncedinto the crease and ended upinches from the goal line afterAllen first tried to wedge it outwith a pad and then fumbledwith his glove before finallysecuring it, somehow, under thetop of his stick.

“We have some weird glasshere,” Allen said. “It hit my leftpad, hit my right skate and thenI turned around and honestly,just saw it and tried to pounce onit.”

Lightning rebound to evenseries against Red Wings

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The TampaBay Lightning flexed a little bit ofmuscle, then went to work onevening their NHL playoff seriesagainst the Detroit Red Wings.

Ben Bishop had 23 saves andTyler Johnson scored two goals,one on them on a power playwhile two teammates were in thepenalty box for roughing, and theLightning rebounded Saturdayfor a 5-1 victory Saturday inGame 2 of the opening-roundEastern Conference series.

The best-of-seven series shiftsto Detroit for Game 3 onTuesday, with the Red Wingssearching for answers on how togenerate more scoring opportuni-ties against Bishop.

“We played physical, we playedhard, and finally the hard workpaid off,” Lightning captainSteven Stamkos said.

A big scrum along the boardsin front of the Lightning benchled to Stamkos and teammate,Brian Boyle, in the penalty box,along with Detroit’s DannyDeKeyser and Kyle Quincey, whotussled with Stamkos and drew afour-minute penalty.

“We’re just sticking up for eachother. We’ve done that all year.That’s been a characteristic ofthis team,” Stamkos said.“Whether it had an effect on thegame, obviously, Johnny(Johnson) was nice to get it goingon the power play there.”

Johnson scored just over 3minutes into the game, givingTampa Bay its first lead of theseries. He beat goal Petr Mrazekagain to finish a three-goal flurrythat put Tampa Bay up 4-0 aftertwo periods.

“It was a little bit more physi-

cal, but that’s the way it’s sup-posed to be this time of year,”Detroit captain Henrik Zetterbergsaid. “Nothing really surprisedme.”

Bishop lost his bid for ashutout when Detroit’s TomasTatar scored at 5:49 of the thirdperiod. The 6-foot-7 goalie won acareer-best 40 games during theregular season and is one of thereasons the Lightning feel goodabout their chances of making adeep run in the playoffs.

“We thought we played wellenough in the first game to winand we didn’t, so it was impor-tant to come out and play like wedid,” Bishop said. “Obviously, it’sgoing to be a little tougher inDetroit, but we’re looking forwardto it. It should be fun.”

Serena Williams gets a rare testfrom Giorgi but holds on to win

BRINDISI, Italy (AP) —Nineteen Grand Slam titles.Nearly 20 years as a professional.An undefeated record this year.And not one career loss in theFed Cup.

Serena Williams’ vast experi-ence proved the difference duringan extremely tight first setagainst Italy’s Camila Giorgi in a7-6 (5), 6-2 win for the UnitedStates in a Fed Cup playoff.

Wearing red, white and blue,the top-ranked Williams was putto the test as she kicked off herclay season in front of a hostilecrowd Saturday. The end result,though, was quite familiar.

“I competed well,” the 33-year-old Williams said. “She playedvery, very well and I stayed inthere. I didn’t get negative. I

stayed positive and just did thebest that I could. I’ve been work-ing really hard my whole life, somaybe it was just experience.”

Neither player broke serve inthe first set, which was onlydecided when Giorgi missed twostraight forehands to end thetiebreaker.

“My game is very instinctiveand I made two key errors,” the23-year-old Giorgi said. “Twoerrors are not many but itdepends when you commit them.In a tiebreak, two points areworth gold. But I have no regretsfor how I played.”

Italy’s Sara Errani then evenedthe best-of-five series with theU.S. at 1-1 by routing 57th-ranked Lauren Davis 6-1, 6-2.

Williams improved to 19-0 this

year and 15-0 for her career inFed Cup. The only blemish onWilliams’ 2015 record camewhen she withdrew before theIndian Wells semifinals lastmonth with a knee injury.

Giorgi was an unexpectedchoice by captain CorradoBarazzutti for Italy’s second sin-gles spot over Brindisi nativeFlavia Pennetta but she showedsurprising poise and was evenable to match Williams’ power inthe opening set.

Giorgi and Williams had 17winners apiece in the first set —which lasted more than an hour— while Williams committed 18unforced errors to Giorgi’s 15.

Unable to impose her game,Williams appeared frustrated andkept shouting “Come on!” to her-self in angrier and angrier tonesas the first set wore on. Williamsconsistently applauded, puttingone hand to her racket, whenGiorgi blasted winners by her,prompting the capacity crowd of4,000 to break into chants of “I-TAL-IA, I-TAL-IA.”

But Williams played solidly inthe tiebreaker and Giorgi clippedthe top of the net on Williams’first set point.

“It was a great match. Giorgiplayed great throughout,” U.S.captain Mary Joe Fernandezsaid. “Serena did a good job toreally fight and play a solidtiebreak. She served really well inthe tiebreak, which I thought wasthe difference.”

In the second set, Williamstook control early on.

“I haven’t played that manypoints on the clay so I think thatfactored a little bit,” Williamssaid. “But it was also that sheplayed really well. She had agreat game plan and that’s theplayer she is. She just goes for alot.”

Barazzutti was pleased withthe score at the end of the firstday.

Game 2 of the series is Mondaynight in Oakland, where theWarriors have won 19 straight.

Davis shot 13 of 23 from thefloor and grabbed sevenrebounds in his playoff debut.Quincy Pondexter scored 20points and Eric Gordon added 16for the Pelicans, who shot 42.2percent.

That was due in large part toGolden State’s defensive stop-pers, Green and Bogut, whocame up big on both ends.Pelicans point guard TyrekeEvans also left in the first halfwith a bruised left knee and didnot return.

Green finished with 15 points,12 rebounds and seven assists.Bogut had 12 points, 14rebounds and five assists.

The Warriors won a franchise-record 67 games, going a league-best 39-2 at home. And just liketheir regular-season resume pre-dicted, they worked over thePelicans with all the pomp andpotency of a playoff powerhouse.

Fans chanted “War-ri-ors!”during warmups, an alley-oopfrom Thompson to Bogut gotthem roaring more and thencame Curry crashing through thelane for layups, sending theminto a chorus of “M-V-P!” for theman many believe will take homethe league’s most coveted individ-ual award.

All of it started from a swarm-ing defensive effort that keptDavis from doing much until thefinal quarter and, in turn, negat-ed everything New Orleans want-ed to do.

Golden State led 28-13 afterthe first quarter. In the final sec-onds of the second quarter, Curryraced up court and converted aleft-handed reverse layup off thetop of the glass, drawing a foul onDavis to start a three-point playand flexing his arms to thecrowd.

The basket put the Warriors up59-41 at the half, and they led82-57 late in the third quarter.Despite Davis’ late push, it wastoo much for New Orleans toovercome.

Curry finished 13 of 25 shoot-ing but just 4 of 13 from 3-pointrange. He also had five assistsand four rebounds.

The Pelicans’ Pondexter wascalled for a technical foul in thesecond quarter for shoving Greenin the face after the two got tan-gled up under the basket. JrueHoliday had five points and fiverebounds in 21 minutes inEvans’ place.

toronto rAPtors' kyle lowry fouls Washington Wizards’ Bradley Beal (3) during NBAplayoff action in Toronto, Saturday.

Pierce leads Wizards pastRaptors in OT in Game 1

TORONTO (AP) — Paul Pierce beat theRaptors with a veteran mix of brains and bas-kets.

Pierce scored five of his 20 points in overtime,Nene had 12 points and 13 rebounds, and theWashington Wizards beat Toronto 93-86 onSaturday in Game 1 of their first-round playoffseries.

Pierce hit a 3-pointer, his fourth of the game,to begin the extra session, further tormenting aRaptors team he eliminated with Brooklyn inlast year’s playoffs, then derided this week bysaying, “I don’t feel they have the ‘It’ that makesyou worried,” in an interview with ESPN.

Bradley Beal scored 16, while John Wall andKevin Seraphin each had 10 for the Wizards.

Amir Johnson scored 18 points and DeMarDeRozan had 15 points and 11 rebounds for theRaptors, who have yet to win the opening gameof a first-round series in seven postseasonappearances.

Toronto hosts Game 2 on Tuesday night.Badgered by taunts from a vocal sellout

crowd, Pierce also drew the ire of Toronto’s gen-eral manager. Masai Ujiri, who was fined$25,000 after he used a profanity about

Brooklyn at the start of last year’s series, usedanother profanity in a pregame speech to thou-sands of fans watching on a big screen outsidethe arena. This time, Ujiri’s off-color commentreferred to Pierce’s recent “It” remark.

Pierce may have never played it better,although he’s certainly had plenty of practice.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who attend-ed the game, told Canadian broadcaster TSNthat Ujiri’s comments were “not appropriate.”

Before the series, Wittman said he pickedPierce’s brain about what Brooklyn did to beatToronto last year, and Pierce’s experience inwinning an NBA title with Boston.

Washington held a double-digit lead in thesecond half, but Greivis Vasquez, who came onafter All-Star Kyle Lowry fouled out, tied it at 82-all by hitting a 3-pointer with 25 seconds left.

Neither team scored again until Pierce made a3-pointer 36 seconds into overtime, the firstbasket in a 7-0 Wizards run. Toronto missedseven straight shots before DeRozan’s dunkwith 29 seconds left.

The Raptors’ only Game 1 win came overPhiladelphia in the second round of the 2001playoffs.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Five yearsago, LeBron James left the floorafter Game 5 against Boston indisgrace. There were boos fromthe home fans, even some whis-pers he'd quit on the Cavaliers.

On Sunday, in his first playoffgame for Cleveland since 2010,James will take his first steptoward an NBA championship —toward the one that could topthem all.

James and the Cavaliers openthe playoffs against the Celtics, ateam he knows well and the onethat abruptly ended his first stayin Cleveland. Shortly before hisexit to Miami in the summer of'10, the Cavs were beaten in sixgames by the Celtics, and thatseries loss, perhaps as much asany other, scarred James.

This opening-round matchupappears to be a mismatch forJames and the Cavs, who rightedthemselves after a 19-20 start andare expected to easily dispatch theup-and-coming Celtics. In James,Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love,Cleveland has an updated versionof the "Big 3," while Boston tradedstar guard Rajon Rondo and fin-ished two games under .500.

The oddsmakers have tabbedthe Cavs co-favorites to win thetitle, but James knows well thatthere are no guarantees.

"Everyone's 0-0 when you get tothis point, so our whole game planright now is giving ourselves achance to win the game," saidJames, who has never lost a first-round series.

Since that defeat by Boston in2010, James has won two titles inMiami, and he's now hoping toquench a 51-year championshipdrought in a tortured city that did-n't take long to re-embrace him.

Cleveland and Boston split theseason series, with the Celticswinning twice last week — gamesin which Cavs coach David Blattrested starters to be fresh for thepostseason.

The only time both teams wereat close to full strength was March3, when the Cavs demolished theCeltics 110-79.

Boston guard Evan Turnerknows for the Celtics to have anychance, James must be slowed.

"You try to make it uncomfort-able for him, make him work(defensively), contest his shots,"Turner said. "I know he's going toget calls, and I know he's going tomake a lot of great plays."

There are some other sub-plotsto the Celtics-Cavs series:

Smooth transiiton: Celticscoach Brad Stevens knows hisway around the NCAATournament, but this is his firstdance with the big boys. In 2010and 2011, he guided Butler toconsecutive NCAA title games. Hetook over the Celtics last season,when they went 25-57 whilerebuilding.

JordAn sPietH hits out ofthe bunker on the ninth greenduring the third round of the RBCHeritage in Hilton Head Island,S.C., Saturday.

Merritt maintains edge through 3 rounds at RBC HeritageHILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) —

Troy Merritt felt the fear Saturday heexperienced during his successful ama-teur career. The third-round leader at theRBC Heritage expects another healthydose Sunday.

Merritt shot a 2-under 69 to take athree-stroke lead over defending champi-on Matt Kuchar, Brendon Todd and KevinKisner. Jim Furyk, No. 10 in the world,was four shots behind, with Masterschamp Jordan Spieth another stroke backand eager to win another jacket — thisone tartan.

Merritt finished at 14-under 199, twooff the 54-hole scoring record set byJustin Leonard in his 2002 victory.

Todd made the big move with a 63, theday’s lowest round. Kisner shot 67, and

Kuchar 68.Furyk led a group another stroke

behind after a 68, with Spieth five shotsback, also following a 68.

Brice Garnett and Branden Grace weretied with Furyk in fifth. Garnett shot 65,and Grace 66. Bo Van Pelt was 9 underalong with Spieth after a 67.

The pack of seven players at 8 underincluded 2013 winner Graeme McDowell,past British Open champ LouisOosthuizen and former world No. 1 LukeDonald.

All of them will have to chase downMerritt, the 54-hole leader for the firsttime in his career. His best finish on thePGA Tour is a second in Memphis lastyear.

Merritt moved to the top and built a

four-shot lead Friday with his course-record tying 61 at Harbour Town GolfLinks. He lost nearly all of that on thefront nine Saturday before regrouping.

Merritt explained how that fear calmshim and reminds him not to press andtake chances to keep the edge. “You go outthere, play solid golf, take care of yourbusiness and you see how the other guy isdoing,” he said.

That worked in the third round afterMerritt put a ball in the water on the par-4 eighth hole — “It was a spectacularsplash,” he said — leading to a doublebogey and reducing his lead to a stroke.

That’s when Merritt regrouped andresponded, making a birdie on the ninthto regain his rhythm.

Spieth thrilled the gallery with his

bounce-back 62 on Friday and it was afull house around the first tee when the21-year-old Texan got started. But Spiethplayed more like he did in Thursday’sopening 74 than in the second round,fighting to put shots close and make puttson the way to his 68.

Still, it was Spieth’s 18th time breakingpar in his past 19 rounds, a monthlongrun of success that included the ValsparChampionship title, seconds at Texas andHouston and that record-tying Masterswin from last week where he matchedTiger Woods’ mark of 18-under from 1997.

And the fans continued to celebrate thataccomplishment, shouting and applaud-ing Spieth wherever he walked. One moreround and Spieth can get some rest: He’snot playing the Zurich Open next week.

Hawks know from experiencethat eight seeds can be trouble

ATLANTA (AP) — There’s noth-ing to indicate the Atlanta Hawkswill have any trouble with theBrooklyn Nets in the openinground of the NBA playoffs.

The top-seeded Hawks won allfour regular-season meetings byan average of more than 17points. They finished a whopping22 games ahead of the Nets inthe Eastern Conference stand-ings.

But Atlanta knows from expe-rience that a No. 8 seed cancause plenty of problems.

A year ago, the Hawks were inthe same position when they tookon the Indiana Pacers. Atlantawon twice in Indianapolis, had achance to wrap up the series athome, and wound up losing in aseven-game thriller.

Now it’s the Hawks (60-22)with the target on their backsafter setting a franchise record

for wins and earning their firstNo. 1 seed since 1994.

“We understand that seedsdon’t really matter once you getin the playoffs,” Hawks center AlHorford said. “We were the per-fect example of that last year. Wepushed Indiana to the limit. Weunderstand we need to come outwith a sense of urgency.”

The Nets (38-44) didn’t clincha playoff berth until the finalnight of the regular season. Theyknow they’ll have their hands fulltrying to become only the sixthNo. 8 seed to win a series sincethe playoff format expanded in1984.

“They’ve played consistentlywell all year long,” Brooklyncoach Lionel Hollins said. “It’s atremendous challenge, but that’swhat competition is all about.”

Here are some things to watchfor when the Hawks take on the

Nets:TURNING IT BACK ON: After

building a huge lead in theEastern Conference, the Hawkscoasted down the stretch withthe idea of giving their startersplenty of rest and keeping every-one as healthy as possible. Theteam won only seven of its last 15games, including a pair of three-game losing streaks. Can Atlantaregain the form that led to a 19-game winning streak and a per-fect mark in January?

Lopez in the middle: CenterBrook Lopez might provide one ofthe best chances for Brooklyn topull off a huge upset. The 7-foot-er has really stepped up his playsince the All-Star break by aver-aging 19.7 points and 9.2rebounds, compared to 15.3 and6.2 over the first 42 games. Lopez AP photo

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) —Richard Childress Racing had theforesight to send an interim crewchief to a test session this weekwith Ryan Newman — a movethat may pay dividends thisweekend at Bristol MotorSpeedway.

RCR lost its bid to overturnpenalties levied againstNewman’s team for allegedlymanipulating tires at a race last

month at California. Although anappeals panel reduced some ofthe sanctions, the six-week sus-pensions for crew chief LukeLambert and two other teammembers were upheld.

Unsure if the organization willtake its case to NASCAR’s chiefappellate officer, team ownerRichard Childress sent ToddParrott to Bristol to crew chiefNewman.

Parrott attended a three-daytest this week at KentuckySpeedway with the No. 31 teamand got started working withNewman and the crew.

The decision to take the case toFinal Appeals Officer Bryan Mossmeans Lambert and the two sus-pended crew members can workthis weekend.

There was no immediate wordfrom RCR if Lambert will direct

Newman on Sunday, or if engi-neer Philip Surgen and tire spe-cialist James Bender wouldreturn to work.

Moss has not set a date to hearthe case and has deferred thesuspensions. Lambert missedpractice and qualifying Friday.

RCR’s decision to appeal couldbackfire: Moss, a formerGulfstream executive, could rein-state the original penalties.

The appeals panel reduced thepoints penalty to Newman andthe team from 75 to 50 pointsand Lambert’s fine from$125,000 to $75,000.

Unsure how the appeal processwould go, RCR had the foresightto send an interim crew chief to atest session this week withNewman. As the team debated onwhether it wanted to appeal fur-ther, it sent Parrott to Bristol onFriday in Lambert’s place.

Parrott, who is RCR’s directorof competition for the second-tierXfinity Series, gathered the crewin the team truck for a pep talk inKentucky in case the Thursdayappeal was unsuccessful.

“I sat them down up in thelounge of the truck and I said,‘I’m not sure what is going tohappen, but if it does happen andI do get the call to go to Bristoland work with you guys, is thereanything you need from me?What do you want? What do youlike?’” Parrott said Friday atBristol.

Parrott guided Dale Jarrett to

the 1999 title and has 31 Cupwins on his resume.

There had been speculationthroughout the garage that teamswere poking tiny holes in theirtires in a move called “bleedingtires” and NASCAR seized tiresafter races at Phoenix andCalifornia. Of the four teams whohad tires confiscated afterCalifornia, only Newman’s tirescame back as having beenmanipulated. Kevin Harvick’ andJoey Logano’s tires were taken atPhoenix and both passed aninspection.

RCR has maintained its inno-cence and Childress was gratefulthat the appeal committeereduced the points deductedfrom driver and owner from 75 to50, and cut Lambert’s fine from$125,000 to $75,000.

Newman has so far not beenmade available to comment onthe penalties.

Parrott, who will split his timebetween the Cup and Xfinitygarages this weekend, said hecame to Bristol to win in bothseries. Ty Dillon is currently lead-ing the Xfinity Series points forRCR and Parrott said he will not“lose sight of that” while guidingNewman.

“Ryan is an awesome talent inthis sport and one heck of a racecar driver,” he said. “I’m not outto get Luke Lambert’s job or anyof these guys. I’m just here to fillin and do the job they have askedme to do.”

Kenseth winspole at Bristol

BRISTOL (AP) — MattKenseth will try for his firstwin since 2013 when hestarts from the pole at BristolMotor Speedway.

Kenseth led a strong show-ing from Joe Gibbs Racing onFriday when he turned a lapat 128.632 mph to grab thetop starting spot.

But he wasn’t sure how hispole-run would help himSunday. Kenseth is winless in51 races since NewHampshire in September2013, but came close lastmonth at California until alate debris caution ruined hisday.

“Finishing up front is themost important part,”Kenseth said after qualifying.“The guy who’s on the polealways says it’s a big deal forSunday. Qualifying and rac-ing is different, I think every-where. Certainly getting onelap here is a lot different thanbeing good for 500 laps.”

It was Kenseth’s first poleof the season and 13th of hiscareer.

Brad Keselowski qualifiedsecond at 128.442 in a TeamPenske Ford.

He was followed by CarlEdwards as JGR drivers tooktwo of the top three spots,and three of the top five whenDenny Hamlin qualifiedbehind Kevin Harvick. DavidRagan, the interim driver forinjured Kyle Busch in thefourth JGR Toyota, qualified11th.

Logano gets flag-to-flag Xfinity winBRISTOL (AP) — Joey Logano

led flag-to-flag Saturday to winthe Xfinity Series race at BristolMotor Speedway.

Erik Jones started from thepole but was passed by Loganobefore he completed the first lap.Logano led all 300 laps in cruis-ing to his second Xfinity Seriesvictory of the season.

“I’ve never led every single lapin a race before,” Logano said.“Gosh this is fun. This is amaz-ing. You’re just waiting for some-thing to go wrong.”

In three starts in NASCAR’ssecond-tier series, Logano hasdriven his Ford to two wins and asecond-place finish for TeamPenske.

Daniel Suarez, a rookie for JoeGibbs Racing, finished a career-best second. He needed a bigsave of his Toyota about halfwaythrough the race, eventuallymoved into second, but neverhad a challenge for Logano.

“I just can’t believe it — I can’texplain to you in words right nowwhat I’m feeling in Spanish orEnglish,” said Suarez, who wasborn and raised in Mexico anddidn’t speak any English whenhe first visited North Carolinathree years ago to pursue aNASCAR career.

Chris Buescher was third in aFord for Roush Fenway Racingand moved into a tie with TyDillon for the series points lead.

He said he wasn’t looking too farahead at a potential champi-onship race.

“We recognize that we’re in avery, very good spot right nowand we’ve worked very hard toget to that point, but it’s early,”Buescher said. “We’re going tokeep going at these races andtrying to win. If we can keep thatmindset that we just need to gorun as well as possible and try towin these races, even if it meanstaking some chances, I think itwill pay off better for us in thelong run.”

Jones was fourth, followed byDillon, Chase Elliott, KevinHarvick and Brian Scott.

Brendan Gaughan, Elliott

Sadler and Brennan Poolerounded out the top 10.

Only 12 drivers finished on thelead lap.

Harvick appeared to beLogano’s biggest competition, buthe never could get aroundLogano for the lead. Then aspeeding penalty on pit road dur-ing the fourth caution sentHarvick to the back of the longestline on the ensuing restart.

Regan Smith, a championshipcontender, finished 30th afterlosing power in his car.

The race had a red-flag periodjust over 10 minutes when J.J.Yeley spun into the wall anddamaged a SAFER barrier thathad to be replaced.

Dietary groupmatches 2010UN report

To The Editor:Just in time for the 45th

anniversary of Earth Day thisWednesday, the U.S. DietaryGuidelines Advisory Committeehas made it official: consumptionof animal products is not envi-ronmentally sustainable.

Their conclusions match thoseof a massive 2010 United Nationsreport, which concluded that aglobal shift toward a vegan diet isvital to save the world fromhunger, fuel poverty and climatechange.

Carbon dioxide, the chiefgreenhouse gas, is emitted byburning forests to create animalpastures and by combustion offossil fuels to operate farmmachinery, trucks, refrigerationequipment, factory farms andslaughterhouses. The muchmore damaging methane andnitrous oxide are released fromthe digestive tracts of cattle andfrom animal waste cesspools.

Moreover, animal agriculturecontributes more pollutants toour waterways than other humanactivities combined. Principalsources are animal wastes, soilparticles, minerals, crop debris,

fertilizers and pesticides from feedcroplands. It is also the drivingforce in worldwide deforestationand wildlife habitat destruction.

In an environmentally sustain-able world, just as fossil fuels arereplaced by wind, solar and othersustainable energy sources, ani-mal foods must be replaced byvegetables, fruits and grains. Ournext trip to the supermarket is agreat starting point.

VIENNA (AP) — In selling the Iran nucleardeal to Congress and other skeptics,President Barack Obama said it is built on“unprecedented verification,” telling his radioaudience: “If Iran cheats, the world willknow it.”

Only time will tell if Obama is right. WhileIran could try to push back or cover up, itcertainly has little incentive for deceit.

Its negotiators returned home to jubilantcrowds hailing the prospect of an end to thecrippling economic sanctions that forcedIran to the negotiating table in the firstplace. Even the chief of Iran’s powerfulRevolutionary Guard joined in praising theirefforts.

Tehran thus is unlikely to risk theprospect of having the sanctions re-imposed— the penalty for cheating. More likely, Iranwill push for every loophole any agreementprovides but honor it, and wait out the strictrestrictions any deal will impose.

Still, hoping that Iran will toe the lineisn’t enough. Distrust about its intentionswill persist long after the fleeting good vibesgenerated around the negotiating table bylast week’s preliminary deal. It wasdesigned to at least temporarily cap suchpotential Iranian bomb-making nuclearactivities.

That has left the United States and itsnegotiating partners seeking tight controlsagainst potential Iranian deceit. The commit-ments Tehran has signed on to certainly gofurther than ever before to ensure that if itdoes try to clandestinely circumvent restric-tions on its nuclear program, it will not getaway with it.

Iran can afford to bide its time — it resis-ted efforts to demolish its nuclear infra-structure, leaving it intact. That allows it toquickly expand to dimensions dwarfing itspresent capacities once constraints are lift-ed, starting 10 years after any accord takeshold.

Obama acknowledged as much, telling

NPR News that Iran could have the capaci-ties to build a nuclear bomb within roughly13 years of the emerging nuclear deal.

As negotiators try to turn a sketchyunderstanding into a comprehensive deal byJune 30, Tehran’s nuclear history cannot beignored.

Iranian atomic activities that the U.S. andits five negotiating partners are now tryingto restrict were born of secrecy. Iran hasrepeatedly played for time since they wererevealed, blocking probes while drawing outnegotiations meant to curb the programs —and using the weeks, months or years wonto expand nuclear activities instead.

That means that Iran again could turn todelaying tactics to blunt sleuthing attemptsby the U.N’s International Atomic EnergyAgency — even though on paper at least,Iran appears to have little wiggle room.

The IAEA already has a presence in Iran.Yet it has been allowed to monitor onlyIran’s declared nuclear programs underagreements linked to Tehran’s ratification ofthe Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

That is to change under any June deal.Iran left the negotiating table in

Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday with acommitment to implement the AdditionalProtocol, IAEA’s most potent monitoringinstrument. In effect in nearly 150 coun-tries, that agreement is meant to allow IAEAexperts nearly unfettered access — normallywithin a day or two — to any site withinthose nations that the agency suspects maybe used for secret nuclear work.

For Washington, lessons learned fromIran’s nuclear past made such an agreementindispensable as part of any deal.

And although Tehran denies past, presentor future interest in the bomb, the IAEAbelieves it may have worked secretly on

nuclear arms — suspicions shared by theUnited States and other countries.

Iran’s willingness to hew to terms imposedby the Additional Protocol is by no means agiven.

While accepting an Additional Protocolbetween 2003 and 2006, Iran often balkedat the kind of intrusive inspections theagreement was supposed to guarantee. TheU.S. State Department says Tehran only“implemented it provisionally and selective-ly.”

Washington hopes to avoid a repeatthrough a “dispute resolution process” thatit could turn to if it wants a special inspec-tion of any site at any time. If cheating byIran is revealed, the preliminary deal allowsa “snap-back” of sanctions that were previ-ously eased to reward Tehran for goodbehavior.

But Iran may push back on any dispute.And that could give it plenty of potentialcover-up time.

Whether it’s IAEA’s 35-nation board or aspecially created U.N. panel, any arbiter isbound to be composed of multiple countries,including some with more sympathy for Iranthan harbored by the United States and itsWestern allies.

That means that consultations leading toany ruling that special inspections are nec-essary could take, days, weeks, even months— with Tehran fighting it all the way.

And while U.S. intelligence agencies willbe on sharpened lookout for cheating,they’re not infallible.

The intelligence community was wrong inassessing that Iraq had significant weaponsof mass destruction. As well, a 2007National Intelligence Estimate concludingthat Iran apparently halted nuclear weaponswork in 2003 has since been contradicted bythe IAEA, as well as U.S. allies includingBritain and Germany. All say Tehran mayhave continued such activities past thatdate.

Through the eyes ofteenagers and preteens,some of whom are asked

to endure challenged lives andtroubled homes, safe places likethe Boys & Girls Clubs ofCleveland are not just safeplaces ... they are godsends.

Several of the Cleveland andBradley County community’sprized young people have toldthis story before. Two whoquickly come to mind are MariaHernandez and Meeri Shin,each of whom won state andregional titles as Youth of theYear representing their belovedBGCC.

Most will remember youngMaria who became a walkingadvocacy for opportunity butmost of all for courage. In Youthof the Year, she went as far asthe national competition whereshe finished as runner-up.

Thanks in part to the foot-prints, and to the legacies, leftby Maria and by Meeri, anotheryoung star is born who has rep-resented our hometown in mar-velous fashion.

She is Gaby Ortiz, a BradleyCentral High School senior whoearlier was selected as Youth ofthe Year for the local organiza-tion, and who then representedher local BGCC in the statecompetition in Nashville.

There, she finished as secondrunner-up.

Some might mistakenly con-sider the young BCHS teen asbeing lost in the shadows ofprior success stories like Mariaand Meeri whose levels ofachievement carried them fur-ther in the annual competitionthan other locals from prioryears.

But this is not the case, norshould it ever be considered assuch.

Like Maria and Meeri, youngGaby Ortiz is a remarkableyoung woman. She will enroll atLee University and more thanlikely take up the cause of edu-cation. That’s because shewants to give back in a way thatthe kindness of others has givento her.

The Youth of the Year compe-tition is far more than winningthis award or earning that recog-nition.

It is about learning.It is about growing.It is about representing.It is about scholarships.It is about education and

understanding its value in life.It is about embracing the

ideals of being young and ofovercoming the sometimes hid-den obstacles of youth.

Like Maria and like Meeri,young Gaby has overcomemuch. She still is. But today, sheis a shining portrait of potential,and she is the epitome of thekind of difference that can bemade in the life of a teen who iswrapped in the bosom of an out-reach like that offered by theBoys & Girls Clubs.

Here’s an example of thatimpact. It was eloquently writtenin the lead of a front-page storypublished by our newspaper inthe edition dated April 2, 2015. Inthat opening paragraph com-posed by long-time journalistLarry Bowers — whose popular“Looking Back” columns arereminders of what it was like to beyoung — he wrote of young Gaby:

“Cleveland’s Gaby Ortiz didnot bring home the TennesseeYouth of the Year title this year,but she did gain newfound con-fidence, recognition and a hugecheck.”

The recognition and certainlythe check are nice, but it is the“newfound confidence” that webelieve young people like Gabyand Maria and Meeri wouldagree are the truest reward toparticipating in Youth of theYear.

We believe others wouldagree such as Embry Barks, asophomore at Polk County HighSchool, and Richard Burke, asenior at Cleveland HighSchool, and Cierra Diaz, a

freshman at Polk County HighSchool.

Embry, Richard and Cierracompeted against Gaby in thelocal Youth of the Year competi-tion. Each walked away a win-ner. As we said, it isn’t aboutpoints or trophies or prizes.Certainly, such awards are nice.Such kudos are appropriate foryoung models of excellencewho seek only to be acceptedand to be part of something fargrander.

But it is mostly about theexperience.

It is mostly about the chal-lenge.

It is mostly about the opportu-nity to stand before others anddeclare, “I am.”

This year’s Tennessee Youthof the Year is James Bennettwho represented the MurrayCounty Boys & Girls Clubs ofColumbia. The runner-up, whowas just ahead of Gaby by thecards of the judges, wasAlexondria McKinny who repre-sented the Tennessee ValleyBoys & Girls Clubs of Knoxville.

Other state finalists wereQueen McElrath, MiddleTennessee Boys & Girls Clubsof Nashville; Debria Tyler,Rutherford County Boys & GirlsClubs; and Whitney Andies ofElizabethton Boys & GirlsClubs.

Only one emerged asTennessee’s No. 1. But just bybeing there, and by having thecourage to step into the spot-light of scrutiny, should makeeach of these wonderful youngpeople a winner.

In our heart, and we know inthe hearts of their respectiveorganizations, their communi-ties and their families, all areNo. 1. This is as it should be.This is, we hope and pray, as italways will be.

Young women like Gaby Ortizwill do well in life as long as theyhave the love, the support andthe encouragement of others ...others like the Boys & GirlsClubs of Cleveland.

Thanks to the local organiza-tion, and to leaders like CharlieSutton and his staff who areknown for going the extra mile inthe lives of their young stew-ards, teenagers like Gaby willget the fair opportunity that lifeowes them.

It isn’t just about survivingtoday.

It is about reaching fordreams tomorrow.

None can say it better thanGaby herself. Of the influence ofthe Boys & Girls Clubs on her life,she offered, “It was an escapefrom reality. I was no longeralone in the world. Since then,I’m not a victim. I’m a survivor.”

She added, “I want to bringhope, as it was brought to me. Ihave a passion for children. Iwant to teach elementary chil-dren.”

Experience is truly the bestteacher.

Gaby’s troubled home life inher younger years, and her wel-comed inclusion in her newhome at the Boys & Girls Clubs,served only to make herstronger as a young woman.

We believe Gaby has themakings to be a great teacher.And certainly, she has thepotential to be a model of excel-lence — not because she’s anybetter than anybody else, butbecause she has walked thewalk of life. And she has learnedits lessons.

We credit Gaby’s opportunityat success to the Boys & GirlsClubs.

We credit Gaby’s willingnessto rise above the storm to Gaby.

Congratulations to this youngrising star, and a sincere thankyou to the organization thatlaunched her dreams.

As long as there are youngpeople like Gaby, and as long assupporters like the Boys & GirlsClubs stand in the wings, life willbe good.

And we will have them tothank.

Dear Annie: I have been mar-ried to “Tom” for 30 years, andwe’ve raised two successful chil-dren. Tom is a nice guy, but heis a binge drinker and has beenall the years I have known him.

I didn’t recognize this as alco-holism until 10 years ago. Tomhas been in therapy ever since. Ithas increased his awareness,but hasn’t stopped the bingeing.It seems to happen several timesa year at social events. He drinksso much that he blacks out,falls, vomits on himself, displaysother inappropriate behaviorand suffers countless humilia-tions.

As always, Tom is shockedwhen I tell him what he did thenight before and promises neverto drink again. Slowly things getbetter, I forgive him, and then ithappens again. This also hap-pens when he goes away with hisfriends, but I don’t know thedetails, so there is a trust issue,as well. I have been going to Al-Anon for years and am takinggreat care of myself. But I do feelsad sometimes.

Now that the children aregrown, I could leave him, but thevows “through sickness andhealth” stop me. And, of course,many people would be upset,including our kids. Any advice?— T.

Dear T.: Worry less aboutwhat others will think and moreabout what you can live with. IsTom a good candidate for med-ication to curtail his drinking?Would he be willing to do it? Talkto his doctor. Would it make abigger impression if you video-taped him when he’s drunk so hecould see for himself how hebehaves? Do it. Would he cooper-

Tears for a lost schoolmate and a day gone by“Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A

farewell is necessary before you canmeet again. And meeting again, aftermoments or a lifetime, is certain for thosewho are friends.”

— Richard BachAmerican writer

(b. June 23, 1937)Author, “JonathanLivingston Seagull”

———Last week I learned of the apparent

death of a friend and schoolmate frommy years at Collierville High School.

She died in 1984. I wasn’t madeaware of her passing until 31 yearslater.

Her name was Johnnie. I won’t giveher last name because I use the word“apparent” with purpose. It might ormight not have been her.

My information came from one ofthose online classmates websites. LikeFacebook, Twitter and who knows howmany others, its intent is to make theworld a smaller place.

In this case, it did. It also made minea sadder place.

The information seemed accurate,and it appeared to be far more thancoincidence. I didn’t research it in-depth because I didn’t want to registerwith half-a-dozen unfamiliar Internetsites.

But I did learn this much ...The name was the same.The high school was the same.The place of residence was almost

the same: Memphis, the metropolitanBluff City only about 20 miles awayfrom our little Collierville hometownback in the late 1960s and early ’70swhen I — and when Johnnie — livedthere.

We weren’t classmates, just school-mates.

I was a senior. Johnnie was a junior.I was the student athletic trainer for

the football and basketball teams dur-ing my junior and senior years.Johnnie was a cheerleader her junioryear. I cannot speak for her days as asenior for I had left home in September1973 to enroll at the University ofTennessee at Martin. Johnnie wouldhave graduated the following May.

I always thought Johnnie was ascute as a kitten. But back in thoseearly ’70s, it was taboo to speak ofsuch, much less think it.

In those sometimes tumultuous daysof the 20th century, it was frownedupon for a white teenaged boy in highschool to consider a black teenaged girlpretty; I suppose the reverse was just

as true. This was late in the Civil Rights era:

Court-ordered desegregation (known inthe day as integration), student busingand school consolidations. Olderschools, most of them predominatelyblack, were being closed and the stu-dents sent to white schools.

Collierville had been one of those lop-sided, mostly white institutions, butour racial diversity began to even outby my sophomore year.

The change had started in the ’60s,but by the early ’70s students were stillstruggling to come to terms with thisnew look of education ... and with eachother.

It wasn’t easy. Racial tensions flaredon some days more than others. Younever quite knew what to expect on anygiven morning. But this I still believe.The kids adapted better than the par-ents and the community. When it cameto tolerance, the young folks becamethe teachers; the parents were the stu-dents.

Looking back on life 42 years ago, Ican barely recall the first time I metJohnnie. It may, or may not have been,in a class called American Studieswhich then was a hybrid between liter-ature and history, and the classroommix included both juniors and seniors.

It was a textbook experiment togauge the effectiveness of dual academ-ics and merging students from twograde levels into the same classroom.

Johnnie and I were part of the exper-iment, not like lab rats ... just morelike advancing the cause of secondaryeducation.

One day early in the school season,Johnnie sat in the desk directly behindme. I turned to see who had taken theseat. Or, maybe I already knew.

Her eyes were the first thing I saw —big and brown. Her smile was the sec-ond — broad and warmer than themorning sun. Yet, she was timid. Thatmade two of us.

I had seen her before ... out in thehallways between classes, in the cafete-ria, on the sidelines at the games. Butthis time it was up-close and it waspersonal.

She met my gaze, perhaps a littlestartled at my actions, and she blinked.

“Hey,” I said. For a teenage boy whowas shy, white and Southern, that wasthe equivalent of, “Hello.”

“Hey,” she replied.Her voice seemed strained, slightly

raspy, but otherwise velvet soft andoddly enough Southern. Mine was,well, mine was just plain ... with a pro-nounced Tennessee twang.

“You’re ... Johnnie, right?” I asked.She smiled again.“Yes ... and you’re, Ricky?”I nodded, now all-too flattered. My

chest probably puffed.She added, “... But some of the boys

on the football and basketball teamscall you ‘Doc’ and ‘Professor.’ They callyou ‘Doc’ because you’re the trainer.They call you ‘Professor’ because you’rein the Honor Society.”

“... Yeah, but I think it’s mostlybecause of these glasses,” I chuckled,fumbling the heavy black rims withthumb and forefinger.

Frustrations with my geeky eyeglass-es dated back to sixth grade.

“So how’d you know all that ... Imean, the ‘Doc’ and ‘Professor’ stuff?” Iasked. “We’re not even in the samegrade.”

She laughed, “Well, I do talk to peo-ple ... and I listen.”

Being a junior, she probably hadbeen swapping tales with some of herown classmates in athletics for whomshe cheered on weeknights: RickeyJeans, the star tailback in football andforward on the basketball squad; orMorris, Roy, Otha Lee, Dave, John ...and the list went on and on ofeleventh-grade friends I had madethrough sports.

All were good guys. Most I had metthrough desegregation.

“Nice to meet you ... officially,Johnnie,” I managed. Far from suave,even as an overconfident senior, I triednot to stare. She was just so pretty.

“Nice to meet you, too,” she replied.On this day, if Collierville High

School could have granted me one wishit would have been to spend the after-noon talking to Johnnie. But it wasn’tto be. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Owens —who were two of my favorite teachers,except for this day — called class intosession and that ended the chat.

“Gotta go,” I said before turning inmy seat to face the front.

“Bye,” she whispered, suppressing agiggle along the way.

While swinging back around, I lockedeyes with two lanky basketball buddiestwo rows over — Rodney and Eddie,whose ankles I had taped far too many

times. Both were my teammates andoff-court friends. Both I met becausetheir schools had been closed. And onthis day, both were wearing grins aswide as the moon.

Realizing they had watched the entireconversation, I probably mouthed“What?” in their direction, my handsopen in perceived innocence.

It was just as well that class started.I was running out of things to say toJohnnie; yet, I had a thousand ques-tions.

Over time, most went unasked andequally unanswered.

And it remained that way.With her being a junior and me a

senior, our paths didn’t often cross. Wealways talked a little before the start ofAmerican Studies, but that darn schoolbell was forever getting in the way.

Now over four decades later, life’smuch easier. Surprises are few andexpectations are fewer.

We’re no longer hormone-driventeens and we don’t stumble over ourwords in the face of those who are dif-ferent; or at least, different from us.Diversity is the norm and people arethe friends we’ve made and thestrangers we’ve never met.

Johnnie was one such person.Johnnie was one such friend.But I wish I had known her better.When I saw that website text, “Died

1984,” I honestly thought I was goingto cry. And I can’t explain why.

Johnnie and I were friends, but notwhat you’d call especially close.

Johnnie and I were schoolmates, butnot social buddies who shared a mealor enjoyed a movie together.

Johnnie and I were two peas in agiant pod of racial interaction, one thatwas forced yet one far too long in itscoming.

The other day, I pulled out the old1973 Collierville High “Pathfinder,”wiped off the dust and turned to thejunior class. There she was.

I then turned to the cheerleadersquad picture, and there she was againdecked out in Dragon maroon, whitesocks and those funny two-tonedshoes. And she wore the same smile asthat early day in American Studies.

I called Johnnie my friend, yet ...I never knew her best subject in

school.I never knew her ambitions beyond

education.I never knew her favorite color.I never knew her parents’ names.I never knew her brothers and sis-

ters.

I never knew her opinion about ourschool.

I never knew her hobbies.I never knew her plans for college.I never knew her interests in guys.I never knew her circle of friends.I never knew her beliefs about

church, God or religion.I never knew her preferences in fash-

ion, hairstyle or make-up.I never knew her choices in music.I never knew her feelings about the

feelings of others.I never knew her feelings about me.I called Johnnie my friend, but there

was so little of Johnnie that I knew.But that was my fault. I had bowed totradition. I had conformed with thesocial norm. In school, there was toolittle time. In society, there was too lit-tle patience for those who dared to bedifferent.

I don’t remember the last time I sawJohnnie or heard her voice. I don’tthink I even saw her on the night of mygraduation.

But I know this. If the Johnnie onthat website is the Johnnie of my past,then Heaven welcomed a new angel ona heartbreaking day in ’84.

Life’s odd.As teenagers of the ’70s, we came to

grips with the color of another’s skin. Itwasn’t always simple. It wasn’t alwayspure. But when we looked deeply —and thankfully many did — we foundhearts that were just as open, just aswarm and just as willing to reach outinstead of pulling back.

Today, when I see news accounts ofracial hatred ... shootings and fightingand bigotry ... I am angered.

The kids of those early ’70s deservebetter than this. Their sacrifices gavebirth to America’s modern-day meltingpot.

They weren’t perfect. But then again,they were the children of an imperfectage.

They did the best with what theywere given. They gave when they justas easily could have taken. It is a les-son best learned, and most needed, bythose of the 21st century.

I miss Johnnie. Her skin was dark as the night and

her heart was pure as gold.If by God’s grace we ever meet again,

I will say, “Hey.” And I will ask, “You’re... Johnnie, right?”

ate with your setting a time limiton how long he spends at thesesocial events in the hope thatyou could get him out before it’stoo late? (We understand thatthis would be difficult.)

If Tom refuses to do any ofthese things, or if it makes nodifference in his drinking, youneed to determine whether ithappens often enough that youcan no longer tolerate it. Youmay benefit from some counsel-ing to help you figure it out.

Dear Annie: You printed a lotof responses about people whosenickname is “Dick.” But howdoes one get that out ofRichard? — K. in Hot Springs,Ark.

Dear K.: It is human natureto shorten names, both whenspeaking and when writing.Shortened versions of Richardhave been common for cen-turies, likely starting with “Rick”or “Rich,” which then producednicknames of their own, such as“Richie.” In England, whereRichard has been a familiarmoniker since the NormanConquest, people liked to rhymenames, which is probably how

“Rick” became “Dick.”(Apparently, there used to beanother rhyming nickname,“Hick,” which has since droppedfrom its early popularity in the13th century.)

Here’s a little additional infor-mation for you: Richard derivesfrom the old German and means“brave power” or “brave ruler,”which could explain whyEngland had three kings namedRichard, the last of whom wasrecently given a royal burial inLeicester Cathedral after hisremains were discovered under-neath a municipal parking lot.

Protect pets from ticks and fleas By Sue LittLe

Along with the lovely blossomsand lush green leaves thatspring brings comes the arrivalof tick and flea season.

Fortunately, we now havemany ways to prevent our petsfrom suffering from serious dis-eases, such as Lyme disease,which deer ticks can cause. andalso the itching misery that fleascan cause along with the anemiathat comes with blood loss dueto flea bites.

Numerous effective insect pre-ventives are now available fromveterinarians which are highlyeffective in keeping pets free ofticks, fleas and other insect par-asites.

On the advice of an expert, Ialso now spray the insect repel-lant, “Off!” on my shoes andclothes, which keeps me free ofticks and mosquitos when I amwalking with my dogs or enjoyingthe outdoors in other ways, sinceticks can also cause dreadedLyme disease in humans as wellas pets.

A friend of mine is now aimingher sights on increasing preven-tive measures after she said shehad to remove ticks from her legson four different occasions in thepast two weeks.

She was wondering whetherthis is going to be “a bad yearwith an abundance of ticks, evenin our well-kept yards.”

As Dr. Sally Poston of AnimalMedical Center urges in hermonthly newsletter, promptremoval of a tick is vital todecrease chances of tick-bornedisease being transmitted to apet or person.

“Regularly inspect your pet forticks, especially after being inwooded or tall grassy areas. If atick is found, use tweezers tocarefully pull up on the headuntil it detaches. Wipe areaswith alcohol and wash handsand the tweezers. Then place thetick in a sealed plastic bag andlabel the bag with the date incase it is needed for evaluation ifyour pet becomes ill.”

She strongly advises usingvet-recommended flea and tickpreventives on pets, “eventhough they are always indoors.Fleas can hitch a ride onhumans to get to their desiredmeal — our pets!”

While many flea and tick pre-ventives are sold in stores, sheurges getting our preventive froma veterinarian because “theseoften work better than store-bought brands.” Then, consultyour veterinarian “about theright preventive for your pet.”

Lyme disease is now regardedas the most common tick-borneillness in the United States,according to experts.

It was first recognized in 1975,“following an outbreak of whatappeared to be acute arthritis inseveral rural counties inConnecticut.”

Signs that a pet is infectedwith Lyme disease may appearwithin days, “or not show up forweeks or even months. Somesigns that a pet is infected maybe the appearance of walking ina different manner, which thencan develop, into paralysis oflimbs. Other symptoms may be

swollen lymph nodes, fever,lethargy, joint pain and appetiteloss.”

If a pet does not receive veteri-nary treatment, Lyme diseasecan cause major harm to theheart, lungs, liver and otherorgans. The good news is we cannow prevent our pets from get-ting this terrible disease.

If your pet is not on a heart-worm preventive, head to yourveterinarian right away for aheartworm test for the pet.

Then breathe a sign of relief ifhe/she is free of heartworms. Ifnot, several months of veterinary

treatments will be required inthe hope of restoring the pet'sgood health. As that old sayinggoes, “Prevention is easier thancure.” Let's spread the word!

Paws up this week to: Terryand Olive Templin; LeeannaBurrall; Evelyn Harbert; BarbScanion; and all who rescued apet with the assurance of provid-ing a long, wonderful life in a for-ever home.

see another packed arena inNashville with Predators fanskeeping the Chicago faithful wayoutnumbered.

The Predators felt like theyonly needed to make a fewtweaks to their game after out-shooting and outhitting Chicagoin Game 1. They jumped on theBlackhawks from the start, pick-

ing up their first man-advantage61 seconds into the game.Wilson, who scored two goalsWednesday night, roofed a wris-ter over Crawford’s shoulder forthe power-play goal.

Chicago managed only one shotmidway through the first, butmanaged to tie it at 1 when Sharplifted the puck over a sprawling

Rinne at 16:13. But Josi scoredon a wrister with 3.6 seconds leftin the period for a 2-1 lead.

On the ensuing faceoff, theteams scrapped, with roughingpenalties handed out to AndrewShaw and Bryan Bickell ofChicago and Paul Gaustad andTaylor Beck of Nashville. Gaustadhadn’t been out of the box longwhen he drew a double-minor forhigh-sticking Michal Rozsival,catching the Chicago defensemanwith his stick after pushing himaway.

Gaustad is one of Nashville’s bigpenalty killers, and he got helpfrom Rinne getting just enough ofSharp’s slap shot late to deflect itoff the crossbar.

Replay showed six Blackhawkson the ice during a line changewhen Kane managed to get thepuck alone and tie it with his wris-ter from the left circle slippingunder Rinne’s glove midwaythrough the period. Lavioletteyelled at officials over the missedcall and said it was a big momentin the game.

Then, Weber apparently gothurt when he was checked at theboards by Chicago forwardBrandon Saad, knocking the 6-foot-4 defenseman to the ice.Weber went to the bench and wentstraight to the locker room favor-ing his right leg. The Predatorshad no update on his status afterthe game.

had 250 pounds for the cleanand press, 275 pounds in eachhand for the farmer’s carry andan 800-pound tire to flip. Theylifted a 280-pound stone over the52-inch bar and in the deadliftmedley, began with a 575-poundtrapbar, then went to a 475 fat-bar and 395-pound standardbar.

Thirty-year-old Cleveland localJonathan Kist was one of sevencompeting in the middleweightmasters. Kist came into the TrueGrit Strongman Challenge withno background in the sport.

“I found out about this onWednesday and figured it wassomething that I would like totry,” Kist explained. “I came andpicked this stuff up for the firsttime (on Saturday) and it wasawesome. The most fun eventwas the deadlift. The clean andpress was the hardest — I hadnever done that before in my life,but I got one rep so I was happy.”

Kist finished fifth overall in hisweight class.

Competing in his first everStrongman competition was 18-year-old Tim Barrett out ofUnionville, Tenn., who is also apreacher. Barrett was the loneteen participating in the event.

“I think it was a success. Ibelieve that the Lord led me hereand I plan on from here on out,

furthering my strength, continu-ing to preach and doing feats ofstrength to show the power andabilities that God can give you,”Barrett commented. “I trainedwithin a 8-10 week window. Itwas really enjoyable and was agreat, memorable experience. Iplan on showing up again in thefuture really soon.”

Heavyweight competitorShawn Ustunel, whose towering6-foot-8 presence commandedthe crowd’s attention, travelledfrom San Antonio to compete inhis eighth Strongman event.

“I wanted to travel a little bitand had never travelled this far(for a competition) before. I want-ed to see how it felt after a longday of travel to do a competitionthat is this hard — that was oneof my challenges to myself actu-ally,” Ustunel explained. “It wentpretty good. It was a verysmoothly ran competition and Ibeat my own personal records,which is all that matters to me.”

Ustunel finished first in hisdivision, which included two oth-ers.

Out of the 28 competitors, fourof those were women. Of thosefour, only one competed outsideof the novice group.

Professional powerlifter andCleveland local SamanthaColeman decided to branch outtry something a little different.

“I found out that they were

doing this competition aboutthree or four months ago. I start-ed messing around with the tiresand flipped the 700 pound one,”Coleman explained. “This was areally fun atmosphere and every-one was really supportive.”

The 35-year-old was in thewomen’s super heavyweightclass. In the clean and press shegot one rep at 185 pound andwent through the deadlift medleywith a 315 pound trapbar, 250pound fatbar and did 28 repswith the 225 pound standardbar. Coleman flipped the 700pound tire and got the 240pound stone over the bar eighttimes. The only struggle for thepowerlifter came in the farmer’scarry, where she had 225pounds in each hand.

“The farmers carry was defi-nitely the hardest event for me.My grip was gone by the time Igot to it,” she explained.

In the men’s middleweightmasters, Bob Schwantz finishedfirst, while Pierre Suter and GregFields came in second and thirdrespectively.

Brian Chia finished first in thelightweight masters, ChrisSullivan finished second andSeth Hunter came in third.

These six individuals, alongwith Ustunel, have qualified forthe 2015 USS Nationals, whichwill be in Indianapolis on June27.

the season, particularly after los-ing three of four in the openingseries at home against TampaBay, Toronto manager JohnGibbons felt this kind of win wascoming.

“We’ve had some opportunitiesthis year at home to maybe makea run late, walk-off type thing,” hesaid. “We’ve been in a position todo it, but just couldn’t comethrough with it. So we definitelyneeded that.”

Donaldson connected on thesecond pitch from rookie SugarRay Marimon (0-1), handingAtlanta its first road loss of theseason. Brett Cecil (1-1) picked upthe win after working a scoreless10th.

Down 4-0 in the seventh inningafter home runs by FreddieFreeman and A.J. Pierzynski, the

Blue Jays rallied against AlexWood.

Bautista belted a two-run shotoff Jim Johnson in the eighth, giv-ing Toronto a 5-4 lead, but KellyJohnson hit a leadoff drive in theninth for Atlanta.

R.A. Dickey, who is still waitingfor his first win of the season afterthree starts, struggled with hiscontrol at times and was pulledafter the seventh inning. Theknuckleballer was charged withfour runs and four hits with fourwalks.

Braves RHP Shelby Miller (1-0)faces Daniel Norris (1-0) today. Inhis second career start in Toronto,Miller will be hoping to replicatelast year’s success, when hetossed a three-hit shutout as amember of the St. LouisCardinals.

was even better over the final 16games, averaging 23.2 points.The Hawks don’t have anyone tomatch up to Lopez physically, sothey’ll try to beat the Nets withspeed, quickness and lots of run-ning. Brooklyn, on the otherhand, would prefer a game that’splayed primarily in the half-court.

Millsap’s shoulder: Atlanta’sAll-Star forward, Paul Millsap,will be wearing a protective padon his right shoulder after miss-ing five games with a sprain.Millsap was able to return for theseason finale, playing 27 min-utes, but concedes the shoulderis still a bit tender. “Anybodycoming off an injury, they kind offavor their injury. They don’twant it to get hit,” Millsap said.“I’m going to try not to think

about it, but it’s tough.” Backupforward Mike Scott also wentdown with a bruised back in thefinal week, but he practicedSaturday and is expected to playfor the Hawks in Game 1.

Joe’s return: Brooklyn’s JoeJohnson was a perennial All-Starwhen he played with the Hawksfrom 2005-12. Now, he faces hisformer team. While Johnsonwould no doubt like to endAtlanta’s amazing season, heinsisted it’s not doing to be a soloeffort. Johnson will surely hearsome extra boos when he’s inAtlanta, where he was alwaysviewed as a guy who never quitefulfilled his potential by becom-ing one of the NBA’s elite players.The trade that sent him to theNets is considered the key movein the overhauling of the Hawks’

roster.No Thabo: The Hawks lost a

valuable player off the benchwhen Thabo Sefolosha sustaineda season-ending injury, which heclaims was caused by New YorkCity police during a much-debat-ed arrest with a week to go in theregular season. The 6-foot-7Sefolosha was the main backupto small forward DeMarreCarroll, providing another topdefender on the perimeter. KentBazemore will step up to fillSefolosha’s role, but he’s 2 inch-es shorter and may have troubleguarding bigger forwards.Sefolosha’s absence could reallyprove to be an issue if the Hawkswind up facing LeBron Jamesand the second-seeded ClevelandCavaliers in the conferencefinals.

Despite the loss, the RedWings return home feeling fortu-nate the series is tied one gameapiece. They did not play particu-larly well in the opener, butcoach Mike Babcock felt the teamelevated its play Saturday.

“I thought we were way better,for sure. You look up and you’redown 4-1, and you think you’vedone a lot of good things,”Babcock said. “But you can’tmake big mistakes. It just goes toshow you, you’ve got to keep itout of your net first and scoresecond.”

Mrazek was superb in his play-off debut with 44 saves in theopener, but couldn’t replicatethat success, stopping just 14 of18 shots in the first two periods.

The Red Wings said it wasn’tthe 23-year-old’s fault.

“I think Pete played prettygood. We gave up some slamdunks to them,” Babcock said.“You’ve got to give your goalie achance. You can’t make thosedefensive mistakes and thenthink your goalie’s going tomake those saves. If you givehim a chance to battle, he’ll bat-

tle.”Mrazek was pulled after

Tampa Bay’s three-goal secondperiod capped by Johnson’sbreakaway. He was replaced bythe struggling, but much moreexperienced Jimmy Howard, whogave up Tampa Bay’s final goal toValtteri Filppula on a power playin the closing minutes.

Babcock said Mrazek will startGame 3.

The Lightning ended a six-game postseason skid dating to2011. They dominated Game 1 —outshooting the Red Wings 46-14— but also went 0 for 7 on thepower play and yielded a short-handed goal that proved to be thedifference in a 3-2 loss.

Detroit was outshot 30-24 thistime, but still didn’t put enoughpressure on the Lightningdefense.

Kevin Cruz was the hittingstar for VSU with a solo homer inthe fourth as the Blazers put sixbig runs on the board. Cruz fin-ished the contest with two hitsand a pair of runs scored.Michael Gouge followed with adouble and a single and fourRBI. Hayden Jones and JaykGraham tripled for the winners,

who also tacked on four biginsurance runs in the fifth.

“I might have pulled Hill a littletoo quickly in the second game,”noted Brew. “Since we wererained out on Friday, I thoughtwe had plenty of help in thebullpen, but that didn’t work out.Also, Hill did not look comfortableon the mound after we had a briefrain shower in the third inning.”

Down 10-0, the Flames did notscore until the sixth inning of theseven-inning game. Josh Tatedoubled to start the rally. Adamsand Nelo got infield hits to loadthe bases and Hill ripped a double

off the left-center field wall thatscored all three runners. Adamscollected two of Lee’s six hits.

“Overall it was a good day,”concluded Brew. “MilitaryAppreciation Day went outstand-ing and I want to think everyonewho helped make this special daypossible. The rain finally stayedaway and our veterans and cur-rent servicemen and women real-ly seemed to enjoy themselves.”

Legislators observe ‘Hardwick Clothes Inc. Day’From Staff Reports

Hardwick Clothes Inc. recentlywas honored with its own day onCapitol Hill, compliments of stateRep. Kevin Brooks, R-Clevelandwho represents the 24thLegislative District.

The occasion came lastWednesday when Brooks invitedcompany representatives toNashville where they were hon-ored in the House ofRepresentatives. By legislativeresolution, April 15 was desig-nated as “Hardwick Clothes Inc.Day” in Tennessee.

“It is my honor to welcomeAmerica’s oldest tailored clothingmanufacturer and Cleveland,Tennessee’s very own HardwickClothes to Nashville,” Brookssaid from the House floor. “I amprivileged to represent thisesteemed organization, a 135-year tradition of Made inTennessee, USA. We proudlywelcome the Hardwick leadershipteam to the State Capitol: BruceBellusci, CEO; Jim Park, JakeCremer, Jabo Covert, Abby Jonesand Will Jones.”

Brooks added, "It’s a greathonor to represent America's old-est tailored clothing manufactur-er, but equally important, it is atremendous honor to representthe hard-working, truly excellentmen and women of HardwickClothes, who proudly sew 'Madein Tennessee, USA' into everygarment made."

House Joint Resolution 269, assponsored by Brooks, was offeredin support of the Cleveland man-ufacturer.

Calling Hardwick Clothes “... acredit to this state,” the resolu-tion described the company as an“... estimable organization thatevinces the greatest integrity andprobity in all its chosen endeav-ors.”

Brooks’ resolution also pro-vides a glimpse at HardwickClothes’ history. Excerptsinclude:

—“... Originally calledCleveland Woolen Mills, [it] wasfounded in 1880 in Cleveland byC.L. Hardwick, John Craigmiles,John Parker, P.B. Mayfield, andCreed Bates”;

—“... For the first half of thetwentieth century, HardwickMills was one of the largest man-ufacturers of wool fabric andmen’s clothing in the world”;

—“... In the 1920s, Hardwickevolved into a vertical operation,weaving the wool yarn at one endof the factory and assemblinggarments at the other”;

—“... In the 1940s, HardwickWoolen Mills contributed to thewar effort by manufacturing uni-

forms for the military”;—“... In the 1950s, Hardwick

Mills sold its woolen operationsto focus on the men’s tailoredclothing market and wasrebranded as Hardwick Clothes,Inc.”; and

—“... Hardwick once againmodernized its operation in1974, moving from its originalChurch Street factory to a new,175,000-square-foot manufac-turing plant on the outskirts ofCleveland. The expansive newfacility and modernized manufac-turing equipment helpedHardwick stay competitiveagainst an increasing supply ofcheap, offshore clothing.”

The resolution also points out,“Hardwick’s reputation forAmerican-made quality hashelped the company survive inthe face of outsourcing and cost-cutting, which led Hardwick tocontract with a wide range ofnational clients, such as the U.S.military and Major LeagueBaseball.”

Also recognized in the legisla-tive document is that in June2014, the company “... wasacquired by Allan Jones, aprominent Cleveland entrepre-neur who committed to anincreased investment in the com-pany to help it regain its rightfulstatus at the summit of theAmerican clothing industry.”

The resolution also points tothe naming of the new HardwickClothes leadership team; andspecifically to the hiring in July2014 of Bruce Bellusci as CEOand president who became theninth person to hold these posi-tions in the company’s history.

Brooks’ resolution specifies,“... For more than 130 years,Hardwick Clothes, Inc., proudly‘Sewn in the South,’ has enduredfactory fires, economic reces-sions, two World Wars, inflationand leisure suits. Despite thesechallenges, Hardwick Clothescontinued to produce unsur-passed suits, pants and jacketsfor men and women, operatingsuccessfully with pride and qual-ity.”

The state document acknowl-edges, and “celebrates,” theresurgence of the clothing manu-facturer as an employer of 240Tennesseans, “... and a manufac-turer of exquisite men’s suitsmade with top-quality fabricsand meticulous attention todetail that surpass anythingoffered by other clothing manu-facturers here in the States.”

A Hardwick Clothes productdisplay was set up at the Capitolas part of the day of celebration,and was visited by Gov. BillHaslam.

Peevish or loaded for bear — Obama getting tough on criticsWASHINGTON (AP) — Just as

Congress is hitting something ofa bipartisan stride on suchissues as Medicare, Iran andtrade, President Barack Obamaand his White House team havedecided to go after theirRepublican critics, picking fightsand scornfully calling them outby name.

In just the past week, thepresident and his spokesmanhave targeted Senate MajorityLeader Mitch McConnell andRepublican Sens. John McCainand Charles Grassley, on topicsfrom climate change to the Irannuclear deal. On Friday, he useda news conference to deliver tosenators a testy lecture aboutthe delayed confirmation ofattorney general nomineeLoretta Lynch.

This is a White Houseunleashed, forgoing niceties forthe kind of blunt talk some ofObama’s allies have beendemanding for some time. Butthe rhetoric carries risks ofsounding peevish and signalsthat a president who once ran on

the promise of changing the tonein Washington has fullyembraced its political combat.

Obama on Friday decried thelong wait Lynch has faced sinceshe was nominated in earlyNovember.

“Enough. Enough!” he said,addressing Senate Republicans.“This is embarrassing, a processlike this.”

Last Saturday, Obama hitMcCain especially hard, after his2008 presidential rival declareda major setback in the Irannuclear talks after Iran’ssupreme leader, the AyatollahAli Khamenei, demanded thatsanctions against Tehran had tobe lifted immediately after a dealwent into place. (The preliminarydeal says the sanctions will belifted as Iran proves it is comply-ing with limits on its nuclearprogram.)

Obama cast McCain’s criti-cism as an assault on the credi-bility of Secretary of State JohnKerry.

“That’s an indication of thedegree to which partisanship

has crossed all boundaries,”Obama said. “That’s a problem.It needs to stop.”

He went on: “We have MitchMcConnell trying to tell theworld, oh, don’t have confidencein the U.S. government’s abilitiesto fulfill any climate changepledge that we might make.”

On Thursday, White Housespokesman Josh Earnest singledout Grassley, declaring com-ments he made about the Lynchvote “duplicitous.”

Asked how harsh words mighthelp his cause, Earnest replied:“Being nice has gotten us a 160-day delay. So maybe after theylook up ‘duplicitous’ in the dic-tionary we’ll get a differentresult.”

It was the kind of “ouch”moment seldom heard from the

White House.Pat Griffin, who was legislative

director in the Clinton adminis-tration, said the tone from theWhite House dovetails with theaggressive strategy Obama hasset since his party lost control ofthe Senate in November and putCongress in Republican hands.

“I think the president since theelection has kept these guys ontheir heels,” Griffin said. Obamaand his aides “have come tounderstand that you don’t get theattention of these guys and theattention of the country withouthaving some edge.”

Republicans maintain Obamawould be better off working onbipartisan efforts, such as trade.Top lawmakers on Thursdayrevealed a bipartisan agreementto give Obama authority to nego-

tiate trade deals without havingto face delays in Congress. Butmany Democrats oppose suchdeals, fearing they will cost jobsor lower environmental stan-dards.

“Rather than spending so muchtime criticizing people like ChuckGrassley and myself, he ought tobe out there lining up theDemocratic votes for trade promo-tion authority,” McConnell said inan interview Friday. “This is atime for presidential leadership.”

On the White House needling,“We’re used it,” said McConnell,who frequently jousts withSenate Minority Leader HarryReid. “We used to get it from theDemocratic leader routinely.”

As for Lynch, McConnell said,“The cheap shots at Sen.Grassley were particularly inap-propriate.”

Lynch’s confirmation hasbeen delayed because McConnellhas wanted to pass a sexual traf-ficking bill through the Senatefirst. That bill has been held upbecause of Democratic objec-tions to anti-abortion language

in the bill. McConnell predictedthe dispute would be resolvednext week, opening the way for avote on Lynch.

For many Democratic allies ofthe White House, Obama’s con-frontational talk could have evencome sooner.

“If you’re sitting at the WhiteHouse looking at Republicans onCapitol Hill, especially on theHouse side, you can’t expecteither much respect from themor a willingness to get muchdone,” said Jim Manley, aDemocratic strategist and for-mer top aide to Reid. “Point two,as we move into the primary sea-son, the base is looking for amore combative tone from theWhite House as well.”

The last two years of a secondterm are especially liberating forpresidents. They don’t face re-election and they don’t feel theyhave much to lose legislativelyby going on the offensive.

“It feels good to do that whenyou have been bottled up,” saidMatt Bennett, a veteran of theClinton White House.

“Being nice has gotten us a 160-day delay. So maybeafter they look up ‘duplicitous’ in the dictionary we’ll get

a different result.”— White House spokesman Josh Earnest


Friday was “Publix Serves Day”in communities throughout theSoutheast. Publix Super Marketsassociates celebratined the com-pany’s 85th anniversary this yearby giving back to the communi-ties in which company employeeslive and work.

The Middle and EastTennessee projects took place inNashville, Franklin, Smyrna and

Cleveland. Publix volunteers created care

packages for returning militarytroops for Operation StandDown; sorted food for GraceWorks Ministries; created gar-dens for the Smyrna Boys andGirls Club and Impact Cleveland.

Publix founder GeorgeJenkins was a giving person andbelieved in supporting the com-munity.

The firm decided what betterway to honor his legacy than toencourage others to give back aswell.

He was affectionately called,“Mr. George,” and once he wasasked what he thought he would

be worth if he hadn’t given somuch away. He humbly respond-ed “Probably nothing.”

“Giving back is a part of thePublix culture and mission state-ment of being involved as respon-sible citizens in our communi-ties,” said Brenda Reid, mediaand community relations manag-er for Publix’s Atlanta Division.

BUSINESS WAS slowed this week in Hot Springs, Ark., because of the buffalo herd. The boyhoodhome of former President Bill Clinton had two buffalo on the run Friday after authorities failed to roundup all of an escaped herd. The herd of six escaped Thursday from a neighborhood farm, and tworemained loose overnight. They were able to avoid sheriff’s deputies, officers and volunteers. One animalwas hit by a car and three were tranquilized. They were left in a pasture to help attract the others. Nohuman injuries were reported in the resort community.

Enjoy fruits of your laborsDear Dave,My husband and I are 28 years

old. We’re completely debt-free,and we each have great jobs.

We don’t talk a lot about thiskind of stuff, because we’ve foundit causes other people to treat usdifferently. We realize how incred-ibly blessed we have been, so wealways try to give God the credit,save, tithe and give regularly, andnot brag about these things.

How would you recommendhandling a situation like ours?

— Amanda

Dear Amanda,When you start to win with

money, build wealth and achievesome of your goals, you discoverpretty quickly that there’s a verysmall group of people you cancelebrate with. It sounds likeyou’ve discovered this already.

A lot of times there are friends,and even family members, youcan’t celebrate with because itcomes off as bragging — even ifyou’re just happy you’ve reacheda milestone. So, you learn to keeplots of stuff private and not evenshare the good things.

Still, if you have a nice car or abeautiful home, these things canindicate that you’re successful.Even if they’re a small percentageof your financial world, it willsometimes generate feelings ofjealousy or envy in other people.

Jealousy is, “I want what youhave.” Envy is, “I don’t think I canhave what you do, so I don’t wantyou to have it either.” These aretwo really evil spirits, and they’reloose in our country today likenever before.

Part of the price of makingsmart decisions, and being wise

with your money, is that somepeople don’t understand whenyou win and don’t think it’s fair.

But the truth is that you guyshave every right to enjoy the fruitsof your labor. You’ve earned it.You’re generous, giving people,and you take care of your familyso the rest of us don’t have to payextra taxes to take care of themfor you.

That’s the truth about winningwith money. You guys are underno obligation to explain yourincome, net worth or the fact thatyou’re winning. And you’re notobligated to be ashamed of iteither!

— Dave

Pay it, but with caution

Dear Dave,I got a department store credit

card, using my real age at thetime, when I was 17. I ran up adebt of $150, and the balancehas grown to over $350.

This was 10 or 12 years ago,but a debt collection agencystarted calling again the otherday wanting the money. Hasn’tthe statute of limitations run outby now? What should I do?

— Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,There is a statute of limita-

tions, but there are a couple of

other things to consider, too.First, the debt is not collectiblebecause a minor alone cannotenter into a legally binding con-tract in any state.

The second thing is they canscrew up your credit report for avery long time, and it sounds likethey’re in the process of doingthat right now.

Here’s my advice. Call themand explain that they are past thestatute of limitations, and thatyou are considering suing them.After that, remind them that youwere a minor when someoneapproved you for the card, whichmeans the store you signed upwith can be sued as well.

However, since you did takestuff from the store, offer themthe original $150 to settle thedeal. Get it in writing that theaccount is settled in full by thisamount, and don’t give themelectronic access to your money.

When you get the settlementoffer in writing, keep a copy of theletter and a copy of the cashier’scheck you’ll use as payment.

It is rare to run into a personwho works on time machines,but that’s exactly what HarryHysni of Cleveland specializes in.The craftsmanship he displays inrepairing antique watches andclocks is becoming a lost art.Few, if any, have spent morethan six decades mastering histechniques, but Albanian-bornHysni has invested the time andtalent to be the best.

Raised in Italy as a child dur-ing the rise of communism inAlbania, Hysni and his familycould see that it was time toleave their native country andstart a new life.

“When we left Albania we left itduring communist times,” hesaid. “The communists were get-ting stronger and stronger, so wehad to get out of there to saveour skin. This was around 1941right before the war started. Itwas time to leave. So we left. Wewent to Italy, which was a neu-tral country. It wasn’t involvedwith any wars. I was only 6 yearsold then. I went to Italianschools. My father opened a littlebusiness there. I would stay withhim after school. I helped myfather a little bit. Of course, I hadmy mind to go outside and play,but I was kind of interested inwhat he was doing.”

That interest grew as Hysniand his family made a life in Italybefore moving to New York. Heeven lived in Syria and SaudiArabia for 10 years, duringwhich times he continued tohone his skills as a mechanic.

“It was a heaven there. It waspeaceful, nice,” he recalled.“People respected each other.They loved each other. Theynever harmed anybody. You did-n’t hear of crimes like you dohere. It was a peaceful countryback then. Now? Forget it. It’s amess! People have gone crazynow. Before I worked as a watch-maker I worked as a mechanic. Iwas a toolmaker. I worked withbig machines. I was a crackerjack! My boss used to love me forwhat I knew. Every time he had aproblem he used to come andask me. I solved the problems. Ilearned all of this on my own. Noschool. It’s all right here (point-ing to his head).

“Knowledge, knowledge,knowledge. If you have thebrains you can do anything. Youhave to have two things: Thebrains and the will. If you havethose two things you can do any-thing. Everyone has to make aliving and you have to choose inlife what you’re going to do. Myfather and grandfather was inthis business. It’s a tradition. If afather is a doctor, usually thechildren become doctors. If afather is a lawyer, usually thechildren become lawyers. Thatwas the tradition years ago. Now,children don’t have time.

“I learned my craft from myfather. At first I wasn’t too crazyabout it. I didn’t want to be tiedup inside. I wanted to be runningaround outside. But when I grewup I started realizing this was it.I gotta do something. I can’t bebumming around. My olderbrother was in the watch-makingbusiness too. So, naturally Istarted working with my brotherin New York. I was 21 then.”

According to the 80-year-old,there is a certain quality neededto specialize in watch repairs. Hesaid, “You have to have skillfulhands, good eyes and a lot ofpatience. It takes a lot ofpatience. This work is not onlytedious, it’s worse than being asurgeon. Worse! Surgery is noth-ing compared to this. It’s a pieceof cake!”

When Hysni invited theBanner behind the scenes at hislocal workshop in his store,Harry’s Watch and Clock onKeith Street, it became evidentthat the master craftsmanworked meticulously with verytiny parts called balance staffs,screws and jewels — parts thatrequired surgical precision toreplace and repair. The silverhaired senior uses professionaltweezers and a magnificationdevice called a monocular loupe,used to see small details moreclosely.

For some, the attraction ofmechanical timepieces lies in thetechnical complexities and preci-sion involved in displaying infor-mation about time using minus-cule gears and springs. Also,because these time machineswere made by hand, they can beunderstood and repaired by adedicated watchmaker likeHysni, who moved to Clevelandless than three years ago.

Although the wristwatchbecame common in the late1800s, particularly amongwomen, it was during the firstWorld War when artillery officerslearned that a watch worn on thewrist was more practical thanone carried in a pocket. Soonthereafter, the popularity ofwristwatches grew.

Today, however, quartz watch-es, iPhones that display time andthe latest smartwatches havethreatened the existence of tradi-tional wristwatches. When askedabout the latest technology inwatches — from quartz to thenewest Apple watch — Hysnipaused.

He reflected for a moment,then said, “When I think of thosenew watches it’s like how a riverruns through, then it drives upin the back. It don’t last. Youtake an old watch and it’s stillgood after 100 years old (holdingup an antique pocket watch).This watch was made during

railroad times. It still works, stillperforms and it’s still beautiful.Those kinds of watches are goodforever.

“You take a new watch — if itruns for 10 or 15 years, you’relucky. The technology todaystinks. It’s a fake. It’s made justto sell more things to people. Itdon’t last. You have everything inthem — to tell time, to tell theweather — sure, that’s fine. Buthow long is that phone going tobe around? The old telephoneswere strong. They still work. Oldcars, old homes — anything thatwas made years ago still standsup strong. Old people too! Thisnew generation — they’re ondrugs. They’re all doped up.They don’t know which waythey’re going. Many wind up injail. They need repairing too.”

While Hysni see similarities inthe declining qualities of ayounger generation and its prod-ucts in comparison to an oldergeneration and its more tradi-tional qualities and products,there is no question that a newchapter in the relationship peo-ple will have with technology isabout to begin with the AppleWatch.

Still, there is something to besaid about the durability andreliability of antique watchesand clocks that can not bematched by most of the dispos-able technology that keeps timetoday. Such antique watchesand clocks, passed down from

parent to child, can have greatsentimental value. Many peoplealso appreciate the skill, ingenu-ity and craftsmanship exempli-fied in mechanical watches andclocks.

So, let Apple unveil its most

personal product designed to beworn — the Apple watch. Let anew chapter in the relationshippeople have with technologybegin. Time stands still for noman and no one can stand in theway of progress. But for Harry

Hysni, a man who works on timemachines — who still has thewill to bring perfection to hiscraft — repairing and selling aquality product that outlivesmost human beings has its ownappeal — in fact, it’s timeless.

Speaking on respecting

death wishesA friend — I think he is a friend

— once sent me a Dr. Kevorkiangift certificate.

It was a joke, I think. I am one who hopes and prays

that I will never have a need forDr. Jack Kevorkian’s services. Iassume that most, if not all of us,want no part of a lingering, suf-fering death that drains the fami-ly emotionally, physically andfinancially.

Given a choice, it would be dif-ficult to believe any mentallyhealthy person would choose tosuffer and cause suffering toloved ones because of one’s con-dition. Of course, there are manyinstances when there is not achoice and it is these instances Iwould like to address. I knowthis is not a comfortable subjectfor many. We do everything pos-sible to avoid talking about suchissues. But even though painful,the issue of dying is a very realpart of life that needs to befaced.

My first intimate confrontationwith death came at the age of 23.Of course, I had been to a fewfunerals as a child, but no oneclose to me had died, so deathremained a distant reality.

During my second year of grad-uate school, I began a clinicaltraining program in a hospital.There, on my first day of training,I met Rosemary, a 24-year-oldblue-eyed blonde. Although onlya year older than myself, she hadtraveled quite a different road inlife.

She had married young, justout of high school, to a heavilyabusive man. He kept her, as istrue in many cases with abusers,isolated. They lived in the countrywhere she had no car, no tele-phone, no money. Whenever sheleft the house, he went with her.He was an extremely jealous manwho did not take any chancesthat his pretty, young blondewould leave him. Because histemper was not compatible withhis keeping employment, he even-tually turned to a life of crime.Repeatedly, he beat Rosemarywithout mercy.

Finally, on a day which formonths she had hoped wouldcome, her husband was to begone for a full day and night. Shetook a quarter that she had hid-den sometime before and walkedmiles to the nearest grocery,called her mother collect andpleaded for help.

Her mother’s response, “Youchose to marry this man, don’tcome to me begging for help” ...and hung up. Despondent,Rosemary returned home, andendured many more beatings.Slowly a tumor began growing onthe side of her neck. Her husband

refused to take her to the hospitalfor treatment, believing that hercondition was just a ploy to meetgood-looking male doctors.

Finally, hope arrived when thepolice came to their home inresponse to her husband beingcaught on film during an armedrobbery. Rosemary pleaded forhelp. They took her to the localhospital. Rosemary’s tumor wasnow the size of a baseball. Afterremoving the tumor, which unfor-tunately was cancerous, aggres-sive treatment began whichwould last the next 18 months.

I worked with her during thosemonths and watched her slowlybut surely put her life backtogether, physically, emotionallyand spiritually. Finally, the doc-tors told her she was on the lastlap of this race she had so coura-geously run. A return to a normallife looked imminent.

But, sadly, after returninghome her temperature spikedand an infection set in. The can-cer was back and her hope forsurvival was next to none. Herfaith had moved to a level whereshe no longer tried to bargainwith God.

As she told me on several occa-sions, “It really doesn’t matteranymore whether I live or die; itonly matters how I live today.”Over the next several weeks themedical technology that had beenher ally in her hope for recoverybecame her enemy that would notlet her die.

She begged me to pull the plug,to allow the suffering to end. Iwas confused and unsure of whatto do. If she had written somedirection, such as “Under________ circumstances, I wishmedication and procedures to bestopped,” it may have helped.Finally, she died despite medicalintervention.

When the dying processinvolves prolonged suffering,whether we are 24 or 94, theissues involved are many. But theprimary issue is what role weshould play as loved ones in thedying process. Taking a role isinescapable, because even if wedo nothing at all, we haveassumed a role.

So it is important, out of love,to think carefully about the roleswe play and the effect they have.The most important role shouldbe assumed by the person who isfacing a lingering death. Beforethe onset of any illness, provi-sions can be made to assure yourwishes are followed.

‘Entopreneurs’ feed growingappetite for edible insects

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Theyhop. They crawl. They squirm.And they could be coming to adinner plate near you.

An increasing number of “ento-preneurs” are launching busi-nesses to feed a growing appetitefor crickets, mealworms andother edible insects.

These upstarts are trying topersuade more Americans to eatbugs, which can be producedwith less land, food and waterthan other sources of animal pro-tein.

The United Nations has beenpromoting edible insects as a wayto improve nutrition, reducegreenhouse-gas emissions andcreate jobs in insect production.At least 2 billion people world-wide already eat insects as partof their diet, according to the2013 report by the UN Food andAgriculture Organization.

But it could be a tough sell forWesterners who are more likelyto squash bugs than savor them.

“Insects are viewed as whatruins food — a roach in yoursoup, a fly in your salad. That’sthe biggest obstacle — the ickfactor,” said Daniella Martin, the“Girl Meets Bug” blogger andauthor of “Edible: An Adventureinto the World of Eating Insectsand the Last Great Hope to Savethe Planet.”

Inside San Francisco’s LaCocina, a commercial kitchen forfood entrepreneurs, MonicaMartinez empties hundreds oflive mealworms, each about 2inches long, into a plastic con-tainer. She uses chopsticks topull out dead ones before pouring

the squirming critters on a trayand sliding them into an oven.

Martinez started Don BugitoPreHispanic Snackeria to enticeAmerican consumers with treatsinspired by popular snacks in hernative Mexico. Among her spe-cialties are spicy superwormsand chocolate-covered, saltedcrickets.

“The idea is to offer anothertype of protein into the food mar-ket,” said Martinez, an artist andindustrial designer who launchedDon Bugito as a street food proj-ect in 2011. “The biggest job thatwe have to do is to try to get morepeople to try our foods.”

Don Bugito snacks are soldonline or at a La Cocina kiosk inSan Francisco’s Ferry Building,where retail workers recentlyoffered free samples of chocolate-covered crickets and spicy super-worms.

“No!” said a young boy whenasked to try one.

But more adventurous eatersgave them a try.

“It doesn’t really taste like abug. It tastes like crunchyspices,” said Leslie Foreman, whoworks at a medical technologyfirm, after sampling a chili-limecricket. “I’m not sure this is goingto be my everyday snack, but Ithink it’s fun and I think it’scool.”

Across San Francisco Bayinside at a kitchen in Berkeley,Megan Miller and her assistantsshape clumps of orange-gingercookie dough, carefully arrangethem up on a tray and slip them inan oven. The key ingredient: flourmade from ground-up crickets.

Many choices, indecision with Apple WatchNEW YORK (AP) — Of the 13

Apple Watch models I tried overtwo sessions, the one I likedmost cost $15,000.

Oops — where’s my raise?Both sessions at the Apple

store began with indecision:What size do I want? Whichband do I prefer? I didn’t havegood answers as my AppleWatch try-on visits started — atfirst modestly, with models thatcost about the same as aniPhone.

The try-on session typicallybegins with making an appoint-ment online. If you’re looking fora luxury “Edition” made of 18-karat gold alloy, you specifythat. Only some stores offerthose, including the one I visitedon New York’s Upper West Side.I bypassed the appointmentsbecause Apple’s media reps inCupertino, California, hadarranged my sessions. Storeswill try to accommodate walk-ins, but appointments areencouraged.

As someone who can’t decidewhat to eat for lunch, I expectedto be told which watch I wanted.Sensing my indecision, theemployees in both cases pickedone just to get started.

I began with a smaller versionof the stainless steel case, witha brown leather band calledModern Buckle ($749). Theband looks like a leather strapyou buckle, but has magneticclasps. It felt loose, even at thetightest setting. I was told notevery band is going to fit everywrist.

I then tried a large stainlesssteel case with a black leatherloop ($699) — also clasped mag-netically, but without the holesyou normally see with a buckle.The band comes in two sizes,but only the large one was avail-able for trying. It was too long.

It turns out stores don’t haveall 54 configurations availablefor trying out. Most stationshave 18 watches to choose from,locked in a drawer that requiresa tap from the employee’s secu-rity device. You get a feel, butnot necessarily in your color orlength.

I tried the Modern Buckleagain, this time in black. Stillloose. That was followed by

large and small cases with aclassic buckle. The fit was muchbetter. I also tried models with asynthetic-rubber sports bandand a stainless steel linkbracelet.

Bands are easily interchange-able by pressing a release but-ton, and some are sold sepa-rately. I can use the sports bandfor running and a classic bucklefor regular wear. Likewise, indi-vidual links on the bracelet canbe removed without specialtools. But the try-on visits aren’tset up for that. Nor are they setup for lefties; everything willappear upside down in thewatches’ demonstration mode.You can change that — once youbuy it.

I returned several hours laterto meet with an Edition special-ist.

I wasn’t feted with chocolateand champagne, but I did get a

more personalized experience.You’re taken to a private roomin some stores, but mine didn’thave one, so luxury appoint-ments are done on the mainfloor, to the side.

As the specialist assisted me,another employee went into abackroom to bring out specificmodels on request — in niceboxes that give the watch a lux-ury feel, while doubling as acharger (there’s a charging portin the back). The process wasn’tas quick as I expected, butwhat’s the rush when you’reready to spend $10,000 to$17,000?

I tried one with a blue classicleather buckle ($15,000) andanother with a white sportsband ($12,000). The synthetic-rubber sports band looked outof place on a case made of goldalloy, but the gold clasp match-es. Likewise, the metal on the

buckle straps are also gold tomatch.

I tried four others from non-luxury lines. One also had aclassic buckle to get a feel forthe difference in weight. At 69grams, or 2.4 ounces, the goldmodel I tried is 38 percent heav-ier than stainless steel. I didn’tnotice it, though, until someonepointed it out.

Apple does offer six configura-tions for $17,000, but my spe-cialist says they are designed forwomen. The $15,000 blue buck-le I tried was one of the twopriciest for men. It fits nicely onmy wrist and looks sharp —possibly because it just feelsrich. I’m sure the other ones willwork just fine, including thecheapest ones at $349 for thesmall case and $399 for large.

So which of the others tochoose?

Urgh. Indecision.

A trick for keeping spring lamb burgers from tasting gameyBy MELISSA D’ ARABIAN

Associated Press

No meat says spring quite likelamb. When I lived in France, theseasonality of meats such aslamb was celebrated. Rarelyhave I tasted lamb so mild andsweet as the first cuts of springlamb from the South of France.

While healthier cooks tend tolimit red meat, happily there is aplace for lamb on the healthyplate! While animal proteinsbring saturated fats to the table,only about half of lamb’s fat issaturated. And lamb is full ofprotein, which means even a fewounces of it can be filling. A 4-ounce raw portion has justabout 200 calories, which meansit’s easy to celebrate spring withan evening of juicy, tasty lamb.

I love lamb that isn’t gamey, soI tend to do one of two things. Ieither buy tender baby lambracks, then season them withgarlic, mustard and herbs beforeroasting them, or I buy lessexpensive ground lamb andmake patties or burgers.

To keep the lamb burgersextra mild, I often mix in anothervariety of ground meat, usuallyturkey or lean beef. I add justenough to take the gamey edgeoff the lamb. The result is a per-fect flavor that reminds me of aFrench springtime supper.

Jon Dewey, the author of “The20-Foot Tomato Plant,” has writ-ten the second book about hisWaterStick invention.

In “The 20-Foot Tomato PlantII: The Next Season,”Dewey teaches thereader how to builda MultiplantWa t e r S t i c k ® ,which allows thegardener towater and fer-tilize multiples m a l l e rp l a n t s ,such asspinach, lettuce,Swiss chard, beets, radish-es, carrots, peanuts, small pota-toes and so forth over a muchlarger area while only using oneWaterStick.

The Multiplant WaterStick,Dewey said, is a different designthan the original WaterStick.

The book includes instructionson how to:

—Build cinder block gardens;—Build an easy and inexpen-

—Heat your winter garden foras little as 25 cents a day:

—Make three new variations ofthe original Bug Juice organicpest repellent/fertilizer;

—Practice sustainable garden-ing in states with drought.

Rabbits in the houseDear Heloise: I enjoy all of

your hints. Occasionally, youmention adopting dogs and catsfrom local animal shelters. Inaddition, however, shelters alsocare for RABBITS. They makewonderful pets. I hope youspread the word! — Barbara W.,Arlington, Va.

Happy to hop, hop, hop andspread the word. A rescued rab-bit can make a very charming,loving, fun and entertaining pet.Rabbits are NOT dumb bunnies(on the contrary — they are pret-ty darn smart!), and they justwant to be part of the family.However, they do need some spe-cial care, much different from adog, cat or bird. Here is a quickoverview to consider:

Your rabbit does need access to

a few things all the time. Ofcourse, fresh food, water and litterbox are the basics. They need hayto chew and a safe place to play.Think rabbit “playpen” so they aresafe and the house is safe, too.

Rabbits CHEW and CHEW —it’s their nature — so you MUSTbunny-proof wherever you letthem roam. Electric cords are thefirst priority to cover up, thendrapery, throw rugs, furniture,etc. Some need to have theirfront teeth filed, as these teethgrow ALL THE TIME! They arelike human fingernails. That’swhy they chew, to keep the teethsort of ground down. Rather likeus, with filing our nails.

Rabbits can develop healthissues (from chewing), so theyshould be groomed and brushedoften. Like cats, they tend to

ingest their hair when preening!Rabbits and pet dogs and cats

can get along, but you mustintroduce them to each otherslowly. Do find a veterinarianwho treats rabbits before youmake one a family pet. Do yourhomework and research first.The website www.rabbit.org isthe place to start. — HopalongHeloise

had back pain, and had surgeryfor a disk problem. His doctoradvised him to carry his wallet inhis FRONT pocket. A lumpy wal-let (in a back pocket) could throwyour back out of alignment. It’salso safer in the front pocket(harder for a thief to grab). —Janet in Texas

Save your back and wallet,too. This lumpy “walletitis” (whatI call it) is well-known in themedical field. Carry that bulkywallet somewhere else and see ifyour back feels better. — Heloise

Narrative of ‘Adult Onset’ feels intensely personal

Jon Dewey brings out secondbook on ‘WaterStick’ gardening

BOOK REVIEW

“Adult Onset” (Tin House Books)

By Ann-Marie MacDonald

Ann-Marie MacDonald’s latest novel, “Adult Onset,” tracks a weekin the life of Mary Rose MacKinnon.

A famous author of YA novels, Mary Rose is stalled on startingthe last book of a popular trilogy and taking care of her two youngchildren while her partner, who is focusing on her career, is direct-ing a play out of town.

To that end, it’s the most accurate description of solo parentingI’ve ever read, not so much juggling a number of tasks from theseemingly simple (answering one email) to crucial (keeping scissorsaway from a toddler) as trying to keep from drowning under them.

MacDonald nails both the hilarity and the crippling anxiety ofday-to-day life, revealing they are not necessarily mutually exclu-sive, as well as the internal struggle between needing help andbelieving one should be capable of handling all this without it.

The novel starts with an email from Mary Rose’s father, whichtriggers the memory of a childhood bone injury.

As her week progresses, Mary Rose comes to wonder how reliableher memories are, and her fear about what’s behind this memorycontinues to affect her relationships with her parents, siblings andchildren.

The narrative feels intensely personal, and in fact MacDonalddrew from her own experiences in writing “Adult Onset.”

Her writing is dizzying and brilliant and often disorienting, whichbeautifully supports the novel’s themes, perfectly capturing how itfeels to be unmoored and seemingly alone.

Equally moving are flashback passages centering on Mary Rose’smother, herself suffering through postpartum depression.

Less effective are excerpts from Mary Rose’s YA novels — they feelmore like interruptions but do serve to bridge the transitionbetween chapters and to break some of the rising tensions in themain story.

Both the external and internal pressures build slowly yet steadi-ly for Mary Rose, and the novel wades into very dark territory, butultimately bears a message of light and hope, remembrance andforgiveness.

The Magnolia Garden Clubheld its regular monthly meetingon March 26 at JenkinsRestaurant.

Chaplain Linda Crossarranged and hosted a buffetmeal and offered the blessingfrom Mark 3:24-26. Memberswere reminded of the importanceof standing united and workingtogether to accomplish commongoals. Incoming District IIIDirector Lelia Ware Johnsonattended as a very welcome spe-cial guest.

President Fredricka Lawsonreported on awards received forparticipation in the Deep SouthCommunity Garden Project. TheDay of Gardening on Feb. 28 waspronounced “a huge success.”

Club events included planting10 willow oak trees at a commu-nity park in Charleston to cele-brate Arbor Day and the upcom-ing placing of an informationtable to give advice to gardenersvisiting Ace Hardware on May 2.

Other community events andprojects for 2015 were dis-cussed.

A clever, entertaining andtouching induction of new offi-cers for 2015-2017 was deliveredby Patsy Bettis. She likened offi-cers and club members toProven Winners, the leadingbrand of high quality floweringplants in North America.Magnolia Garden Club, claimsBettis, has a 60-year history ofbeing a winning leader.

Lawson was compared to arose, queen of the garden, andpraised for her versatility, charm,class and ability to climb to newheights. She was implored tobring everyone together in a “pro-fusion of beauty and excellence.”

Chaplain and vice presidentLinda Cross’ role was comparedto that of the garden annual,whose role as planner of pro-grams and activities is like thenew “must have” annuals used tocreate massed plantings and

beauty throughout the changingseasons. She was asked to useher creativity to provide varietyand deliver programs that helpMagnolia Garden Club be thebest it can be.

Taylor’s role as treasurer wascompared to the techniques ofthe gardener who uses plantpropagation, seed collection andplant exchanges as frugal waysto guard funds. Similarly, herrole as treasurer serves the clubin cooperatively collecting andprotecting raised funds like awise gardener in a way thatincreases the range of the club.

Club activities are similar tothe immense variety of perenni-als available to the gardener.Club happenings are document-ed by the secretary, BrendaNakdimen, who was asked tokeep written record of the “color-ful happenings” of the MagnoliaGarden club.

Club parliamentarian LuAnnCarey was asked to remind mem-

bers of the use of the club consti-tution and bylaws, similar to theway the gardener uses the basicsof botany to enhance horticultur-al techniques.

The Bible tells us God createdthe heavens and the earth.Incoming chaplain Ginger Cloudwas entreated to remind mem-bers of the “joy in and responsi-bility to care for God’s creation”of land, water and sky and allthat He created.

Specimens presented includedflowering quince, euphorbiacyparissias, apple blossom,pussy willow and Nandina. Floralarrangements of marigold, cala-dium, verbena, petunia andcoleus were presented to speakerBettis and Officer Johnson.Individual plants were presentedto incoming officers.

Others in attendance includedAnnette Stanbery, Elsie Yates,Erma Brewer, Cecile Broz, SheilaCardin and guest Bonnie Bain,Nakdimen’s mother.

Patty and Andy Hunt greeted members andguests of the Cleveland Music Club in theirhome for the club’s meeting held on April 9.President Rick Donegan welcomed the group,and he thanked the host couple for once againextending their gracious hospitality.

Secretary Dortha Townsend conducted theroll call and read the minutes of the Februarymeeting. In the absence of treasurer TerryBarger, Donegan read the financial report thatBarger had submitted prior to the meeting.

Donegan announced the location listed inthe yearbook for the club’s meeting on May 7needs to be changed. Prior to that date, hewill notify all members about the site of thenew meeting place.

Music Scholarship Committee ChairmanPat Meagher, who was not present at themeeting, will be asked about her committee’spreparations for the next scholarship award.Donegan also stressed the need for a look atthe club’s bylaws to decide whether to changethem or start using them as they are written.For that purpose, he invited member partici-pation on a committee that would review thecurrent bylaws and discuss the issue with theexecutive committee when it meets for thesummer planning session.

Josh Wenger called attention to two studentchoir concerts at the Lake Forest Auditoriumto be held on April 16 and 21, both starting at7:30 pm. George Olin added a reminder abouta Woodwind concert at Lee’s Conn Center.Milteen Cartwright led the group in singingthe Hymn of the Month, “Praise God FromWhom All Blessings Flow.” She explained itwas written by the Englishman Thomas Ken(1637-1711), an ordained Anglican priest. Hehas been called “England’s first hymnist.” Hewrote many poems and hymns as well as the“Manual of Prayers.” When serving as chap-lain at Winchester College, he wrote for use byhis young scholars the morning, evening andmidnight hymns. All three of them end withthe same refrain that is referred to as “TheDoxology,” which was Cartwright’s selectionfor the evening.

Not only was Donegan conducting the meet-ing, he directed “Bach to Bach,” also, a pro-gram of instrumental music by JohannSebastian Bach.

Starting the program, Donegan talkedabout the German composer, who lived from1685 until 1750. He described him as thegreatest composer and musician of theBaroque era and explained that “Bachenriched established German styles throughhis skill in counterpoint, harmonic organiza-

tion of motives and the adaptation of rhythms,forms and textures from abroad. His composi-tions include the “Brandenburg Concertos,”the “Goldberg Variations,” the “Mass in Bminor,” two “Passions” and more than threehundred sacred cantatas of which nearly twohundred have survived.

“His music is revered for its technical com-mand, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth,”Donegan shared with his audience. “Bach wasborn into a musical family and his fatherprobably taught him to play the violin andharpsichord. After being orphaned by age 10,his brother, Johann Christoph, took him inand taught him the clavichord. His abilities asan organist were respected throughoutEurope during his lifetime, but he was notwidely recognized as a great composer until arevival of interest and performances of hismusic in the first half of the 19th century.Now he is generally regarded as one of thegreatest composers of all time,” Donegan said.

Pianist Karen Archer played Bach’s“Prelude No. 2 in C minor,” and George Olincontinued with a clarinet solo announced as“Solo for Unaccompanied Clarinet.” Heexplained for lack of finding a suitable clarinet

solo from a suite to fit into the program, heand a fellow musician adapted Bach’s “CelloSuite No. 2 in D minor” to be played as a clar-inet solo.

Bach’s “Minuet and March for TwoTrumpets” was played by the trumpet duo ofDonegan and guest performer Dan Knappen.

The Woodwind Trio with April Itson (flute),Sandy Donegan (oboe), and George Olin (clar-inet) presented Bach’s “Bourrée from Suite No.3 in D major.” Itson, likewise a guest per-former, is no stranger to the Cleveland MusicClub. She has been a frequent guest per-former with woodwind ensembles that haveplayed at previous club meetings.

Margaret Ann Randolph closed the programon the piano by playing “Gigue” from Bach’s“French Suite No. 5 in G major.”

Donegan reminded members he will callthem to let them know where the May 7 meet-ing will be held. He thanked all performers fortheir participation, the Hunts for their hospi-tality, and the Hospitality Committee chairedby the Donegan couple, who together withBrian and Andrea Lessig and George andMaurine Olin, had brought in refreshmentsthat were enjoyed by all after the meeting.

Do your homework before ordering plants by mailBy Lee Reich

Associated Press

You can buy trees, shrubs, andflower plants through the mailthat are as high-quality as thoseyou can get locally, and often ingreater variety.

Problem is: Not all mail-ordernurseries are equally reputable.And you can’t just drive your sick-ly plant back to the store to showit and complain.

It’s not always obvious whenyou open a packaged plant thatarrived by mail whether that planthas problems.

I once ordered a Green Gageplum tree from a mail-order nurs-ery that specializes in fruits. Mymouth was watering a few springslater as branches snowy in bloomforeshadowed delectable fruits forsummer. Alas, the ripe fruitlacked the green-gold color andheart shape of Green Gage, as wellas the delectable flavor. I calledthe nursery about the mislabeledplant and they offered to replaceit. Yeah, right. And wait anotherfew years to see if they got it rightthis time?

The lesson: Investigate beforeyou purchase. A website such ashttp://davesgarden.com/ or mag-azine articles are ways to sleuthout a nursery’s track record.

WORDS TO WATCH FORWinnowing through the word-

ing of plant descriptions can helpyou avoid disappointment. Toomany superlatives, for example,makes them suspect. I have infront of me a magazine advertise-ment in which almost every itempromises to be “carefree,” ‘’easy”and “blooming year after year.” Infact, hybrid tulips, one of theitems offered, bloom year afteryear for just a few years and then

typically lose steam.This ad also features a “fantas-

tically low-priced offer.” If pricesseem too cheap, the plants beingsold are likely low-quality. Tengladiolus bulbs might seem like abargain at $4.99 — until you readthe fine print stating their size.Any good nursery should specifythe size of their bulbs. High-qual-ity gladiolus bulbs are large,which means more and betterblooms.

Ah, you say, but the nurseryhas an ironclad guarantee. That’sgenerally a reliable indicator ofnursery quality, however. A nurs-ery may bank on the fact thatmany people won’t bother to con-tact it to make good on a guaran-tee, especially if the plants wereinexpensive in the first place.

And a guarantee for a freereplacement just brings youanother plant more worthy of yourcompost pile than your garden. Amail-order nursery once sent mewhat seemed like a stick droppedinto a sandwich bag — allegedly a

bush cherry that I had ordered.My replacement was the same.

Contrast this experience withthe one I recently had with a smallmail-order nursery that special-izes in nut trees and did not evenoffer guarantees. I noticed that achestnut tree I had planted lastspring had died, so I called toorder another. The nursery’sowner insisted on replacing it forfree.RESEARCH BEFORE ORDERING

Consult books and reliablewebsites for information aboutthe plants you’re seeking. Thefruit nursery I mentioned earlierbills Liberty apple as one thatresists “insects and apple dis-eases.” Not true! Liberty is adelectable apple and does resistdiseases, but it’s no more resist-ant to insects than a disease-susceptible McIntosh. And theirGranny Smith apple? Yes, it doeshave a “unique, spritely, crunchyflavor,” but there’s no mention ofthat fact that it won’t have timeto ripen in northern gardens.

TAmArA rusoff-Hoen, right, receives instructions about thevideo she will record for her mother, Louise Irving, from CharlotteDell, Director of Social Services at The Hebrew Home of Riverdale,in New York, Wednesday The nursing home in the Bronx has starteda pilot program in which relatives record video messages for patientsof Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The videos are playedfor them each morning to calm their agitation and reassure themabout their surroundings and their routines.

Videos made to reassurepatients with dementia

NEW YORK (AP) — For 94-year-old Louise Irving, who suffers fromdementia, waking up every day toa video with a familiar face and afamiliar voice seems to spark aflicker of recognition.

“Good morning, merry sun-shine, how did you wake so soon?”Irving’s daughter, Tamara Rusoff-Hoen, sings in a video playingfrom a laptop wheeled to hermother’s nursing home bedside.

As the five-minute video plays,with stories of happy memoriesand get-togethers, Irving beams abright smile before repeating thetraditional family send-off.

“Kiss, kiss ... I love you.”Such prerecorded messages

from family members are part ofan apparently unique pilot pro-gram at the Hebrew Home atRiverdale aimed at helping victimsof Alzheimer’s disease and otherforms of dementia break throughthe morning fog of forgetfulnessthat can often cause them agita-tion and fear.

It’s an idea borrowed from anunlikely place, the 2004 AdamSandler movie “50 First Dates,” inwhich a brain-injured womanplayed by Drew Barrymore losesher memory every day and a suit-or played by Sandler uses videosto remind her about him.

“It was fluff, but it made methink, ‘How could that translate toour residents with memory loss?’”said Charlotte Dell, director ofsocial services at the home.

“We’re looking to see if we canset a positive tone for the day”without using drugs, she said.“What better way to start the daythan to see the face and hear thevoice of someone you love wishingyou a wonderful morning?”

As in the movie, every day is anew day, and the video becomespart of the morning routine.Relatives who take part are urgedto say good morning, use memo-ry-triggering personal anecdotesand remind the residents thatattendants will be helping themget dressed and ready for theday.

Alzheimer’s disease and otherdementias afflict a growing num-ber of Americans as baby boomersage and people live longer. TheAlzheimer’s Association says morethan 5 million Americans haveAlzheimer’s.

The first-thing-in-the morningvideo visits appear to be a newwrinkle in dementia caretaking.

“Memory tools like videos andphotos get a lot of use, but to havea couple of minutes with a lovedone as a way to start out the day,I haven’t heard of anything quitelike that,” says Ruth Drew, direc-tor of family and information serv-ices for the association.

Robert Abrams, a geriatric psy-chiatrist at NewYork-PresbyterianHospital, called the program “bothinnovative and thoughtful.”

“You’ve got a group of peoplewith dementia who don’t reallygrasp the nature and purpose oftheir surroundings, or the cir-cumstances that compelled them

to be there,” Abrams says.“Consequently they’re alone andat sea, and feel frightened andeven abandoned by family.”

Experts cautioned, however,that Alzheimer’s patients varywidely, and that techniques thatmay work beautifully for one maynot work for another.

The program at the HebrewHome is limited to residents in theearly and moderate stages ofdementia who are likely to recog-nize the people in the video andunderstand what they say.

“Do we know for sure that theyknow, this is my daughter, this ismy son? No,” Dell said. “But theyrecognize them as somebody theycare about and love.”

The program is starting withresidents who are known to thestaff as difficult in the morningand refuse care, a description thatRusoff-Hoen acknowledged fitsher mother.

“Some of her agitation comesfrom, ‘Who the heck are thesepeople? Why am I here?’” shesaid.

Though Rusoff-Hoen, who livesa couple of hours away in Ghent,New York, visits her mother threedays a week, she said the videoprogram makes her feel, “I amthere with my mom, loving herand wishing her a wonderful dayand helping her to feel better,because there’s not a lot I can dofor her.”

The Hebrew Home plans toevaluate the program after thismonth and then may expand it tomore of the several hundred resi-dents in its memory-care “neigh-borhoods.” Dell said anecdotalevidence from the staff is “verypositive.”

Irving’s son-in-law, MihaiRadulescu, also made a video forIrving, in which he kids her aboutbeing “a delinquent” because sheonce worked for a bootlegger.

On the recording, he repeatedlyreminds Irving, “I know where youare. ... I will always find you,”because she has expressed a deepfear of being lost.

Other videos currently in useinclude a woman reminding hermother, in Spanish, to eat andtake her medications, then tearingup at the end and saying, “I loveyou, Mom.”

On another video, a manencourages his mother, saying,“You used to tell me that attitudeis everything. ... You said that it’sbest to start off on the sunny sideof the street.”

“Memory tools likevideos and photos get alot of use, but to have a

couple of minutes with aloved one as a way to

start out the day, Ihaven’t heard of

anything quite likethat.”

Many Medicare cataract patients given needless testsBy MarIlynn MarchIoneAP Chief Medical Writer

Millions of older people are get-ting tests they don’t need toprove they are healthy enough tohave cataracts removed, a newstudy finds. The excess testingbefore this quick, ultra-safe eyeprocedure is costing them andMedicare a bundle, and manypatients don’t know they canquestion it, doctors say.

“They should ask, ‘Is it reallynecessary?’” and how much itwill cost them in co-insurance —usually 20 percent underMedicare, said one study leader,Dr. R. Adams Dudley of theUniversity of California, SanFrancisco.

It’s amazing “how much harma doctor can do with the wiggle oftheir pen or a check in a box” toorder these tests, he said. “In

just seconds they can spend tonsof people’s time and money.”

Removing cataracts that cloudvision is the most common elec-tive operation for older adults,done 1.7 million times each yearin the United States. It’s an out-patient procedure that takesabout 18 minutes and requiresonly numbing eye drops, notgeneral anesthesia.

“This is one of the lowest-risksurgery procedures you canhave,” with less than a 1 percentrisk of major heart problems ordeath, said Dr. Catherine LeeChen, a UCSF anesthesiologistwho led the study.

Yet many doctors order preop-erative tests such as blood work,chest X-rays, electrocardio-grams and even advanced heartand lung tests to ensure apatient can withstand the proce-dure.

Major studies found thatabout half of Medicare recipientswere getting such tests beforecataract removal, and that rou-tine testing did not improve out-comes or safety. In 2002, severalmedical groups issued guide-lines advising against it.

Chen did the study to see ifthe situation had improvedsince then, and found it had not.Looking at Medicare records onmore than 440,000 patients whohad cataracts removed in 2011,researchers found that 53 per-cent had at least one test in themonth before surgery.

About 13 percent of patientswere given one test; 11 percenthad two, 10 percent had three, 7percent had four, and a whop-ping 13 percent had five or moretests.

The biggest factor in whethertests were ordered was the eye

doctor, not characteristics of thepatients or their health risks.About 36 percent of eye doctorsordered tests on three-fourths ormore of their patients, and 8percent did so for every patient.

“It could be the policy at theirsurgery center,” Chen said, yetresearchers found that whetherthe procedure was done at ahospital outpatient center ver-sus somewhere else made littledifference in testing rates.

The study is in Thursday’sNew England Journal ofMedicine.

The results are surprising,said Ellen Meara, a professor atthe Dartmouth Institute forHealth Policy and ClinicalPractice.

“It suggests a lot of unneces-sary testing,” and that patientsshould be questioning it, shesaid.

Intersex surgeries

Doctors move away from drastic treatment

AP Photo

Pidgeon PAgonis speaks at her home in Chicago. Pagonis doesn’t identify as female or male andworks as an artist and intersex activist against surgery.

CHICAGO (AP) — She was bornto a young Chicago couple, namedJennifer, and grew into a beautifullong-lashed child with wavy darkhair, big brown eyes and a yearn-ing, youthful desire to be just likeall the other girls.

Only she wasn’t. Doctors firstnoticed her slightly enlarged geni-tals, and then discovered she hadtestes inside her abdomen andmale chromosomes. And so begana series of surgeries to makethings “right.”

Jennifer Pagonis was bornintersex, an umbrella term forseveral conditions in which aninfant’s reproductive anatomydoesn’t conform to standard defi-nitions of male or female. Thephysical effects can be subtle, orvery obvious.

A century ago, intersex adultswere top draws at circussideshows. Then, as surgical tech-niques for ambiguous genitalsevolved, doctors began performingsurgeries on affected infants andencouraged parents to raise chil-dren as the sex they visiblyresembled. Many families kept theconditions hidden, fearing stigmaand shame.

Pagonis’ parents knew nothingabout the conditions — or aboutthe surgeries’ troubling risks,including damage to sexual func-tion, satisfaction and psyche lateron.

Now, efforts are underway tochange the way intersex childrenare treated.

“The way that we took care ofthings in the past ... where therewas a fair amount of secrecy,where there was surgery done inthe infant state, and potentiallyirreversible surgery, is probablynot the best way to go aboutthings,” said Dr. Earl Cheng, whoruns the 2-year-old sex develop-ment disorders program atChicago’s Ann & Robert H. LurieChildren’s Hospital.

The program is one of severalnationwide that employ a team ofspecialists including surgeons,hormone experts, genetic coun-selors, psychologists and ethi-cists. The team helps familiesweigh their options, includingwhether surgery should be con-sidered at all.

Intersex activists advise againstit and urge tolerance for affectedkids. There’s even an intersexcharacter on television, intro-duced on this season on MTV’s“Faking It” series.

It’s a fitful evolution and a signof the times, perhaps the naturalnext step in the gender-blurringevolution, with feminism and thegay- and transgender rightsmovements helping pave the wayfor more acceptance of people whodon’t fit the typical male or femalemold.

Intersex conditions are oftenconfused with gender identityissues, but they’re different.Gender orientation refers towhether someone identifies asmale, female, or something else;intersex involves reproductiveanatomy. Some affected childrenhave typical male or female chro-mosomes, but genetic glitchesand hormonal problems thatbegin in the womb, cause genitalsto resemble those of the oppositesex. Others have a male-femaleblend of sex chromosomes and

reproductive organs.Prevalence estimates vary,

from more than 1 in 1,000 new-borns, which includes conditionsthat involve mildly atypical geni-tals, to about 1 in 5,000 for moreobvious cases. Experts saythere’s no evidence numbers areincreasing, although risingawareness has led more familiesto seek treatment at specialtycenters like the one in Chicago.

The new treatment approachstems partly from a 2006 consen-sus statement on intersex disor-ders by U.S. and European med-ical specialists who advocatedagainst knee-jerk surgeries andsaid older patients should beinvolved in some decisions. Thatyear the American Academy ofPediatrics retired an old surgery-focused policy.

The evolution is part of a trendin U.S. medicine toward bettercommunication and morepatient-focused treatment. Withintersex conditions, these inter-actions can be fraught with emo-tion and controversy, and not allfamilies are ready to embrace thechange. Some still choose sur-gery, fearing that without it, theirchildren will be consideredfreaks.

“There was some angst aboutgetting surgery done when shewas an infant. I wouldn’t let any-one baby-sit for her or change herdiapers, other than my mom. Ididn’t want other people toknow,” says a suburban Chicagowoman who agreed to speak withThe Associated Press on condi-tion of anonymity to protect her8-year-old daughter from possi-ble public scorn.

The girl has congenital adrenalhyperplasia, an intersex condi-tion that caused boyish-lookinggenitals. It involves overproduc-tion of male hormones and can bedeadly unless lifelong hormonetreatment is started quickly.

Her parents agreed to a clitorisreduction.

“I definitely had secondthoughts about were we doing the

right thing,” her mom said. “I stillfeel like we made the right deci-sion. Time will tell.”

Pagonis has a different condi-tion involving male hormones —androgen insensitivity syndrome— but also had a clitoral reduc-tion, and more. Undescendedtestes were removed to preventthem from developing cancer;some doctors now think affectedchildren can be monitoredinstead. Pagonis was born with-out a uterus and a partial vaginathat surgeons later extended sothat as an adult she might havenormal sexual intercourse, butPagonis says she learned as ateenager that it was almostimpossible.

Pagonis knew her body was dif-ferent, but didn’t learn the fulltruth until a college instructordescribed the hormone syn-drome.

Pagonis phoned her mom afterclass to find out the name of hercondition.

“I was like, ‘Oh. My. God!That’s the thing the teacher wastalking about ... ,” said Pagonis,now 29. “And then I went into likea freefall.”

Pagonis struggled with depres-sion and angst until meetingyoung intersex adults who’veembraced their differences.Pagonis now uses the first name“Pidgeon,” doesn’t identify asfemale or male and works as anartist and intersex activist

against surgery.Pagonis’ advice for parents

with intersex infants? “Take them home and love

them ... just the way they are.”Alice Dreger, a Northwestern

University ethicist and author,says it makes sense for parents toraise affected kids as boys orgirls.

“But sometimes we get thatgender assignment wrong. And inthose cases it’s particularlyimportant that we’ve not doneunnecessary interventions.”

A Columbia, South Carolina,couple who adopted a child witha condition similar to Pagonis’sfiled a landmark medical mal-practice lawsuit over surgery per-formed after the birth parentslost custody.

Doctors and social servicesauthorities decided on operationsto make him look like a girl, the2013 lawsuit says.Representatives for the state anddoctors declined comment.

Pam and Mark Crawford, theadoptive parents, raised the childas a girl until he insisted he wasa boy.

The Crawfords worried that thegender switch “would offend peo-ple’s sensitivity in the Bible Beltbut that has not been the case atall,” Mark Crawford said. He saidtheir child, now 10, has been wel-comed as a boy at school andchurch, and is doing well.

An appeals court in Januarydismissed their federal complaintalleging the boy’s constitutionalrights were violated. TheCrawfords’ state lawsuit is likelyto go to trial later this year.

“What happened to our son issomething that is pretty devastat-ing. We feel like this is the onlyway we can have an influence onit not happening again,” PamCrawford said.

Michigan Avenue PTO raises more than $17,000Special to the Banner

The Michigan AvenueElementary School ParentTeacher Organization raisedmore than $17,000 for the schoolduring a recent event.

The PTO held its annual springauction April 10, with hundredsof parents, students, teachers,staff and community members inattendance.

This yearly event raised moneyfor teachers' classroom accounts,the school’s Reading InterventionProgram and the operationalbudget for the PTO. The PTObegan planning the event inSeptember, solicited over 500community businesses andacquired over 170 donations. Anadditional 60 items were donatedor made by those at the school.

The items that made the mostmoney were the school streetsigns which are named after fam-ilies and placed on the drives fora school year, along withGatlinburg cabin rentals, a dayon the Greenway child's bikepackage, a gorgeous adult bike,an American girl doll, and experi-ences like “Pizza, Pop and Play”with the SRO and “Principal forthe Day.”

"We can't thank the Clevelandand Chattanooga communityenough for their dedication toeducation and our community.Without the donations, this eventwould not have been as success-ful as it was," PTO PresidentBecca Brnik said. "We even had12 auction table sponsors thatdonated money on top of itemstowards the auction. We couldnot be prouder of these relation-ships with both large and small

businesses.” "We are proud to announce

that we grossed over $17,000 forMAS, with close to $4,000 direct-ly returning to classroom teach-ers’ accounts," added PTOTreasurer Angie Myers. "This isfar above our desired goal of$10,000 and just demonstratesthe incredible parental and com-munity support we have at MAS.”

"We couldn't be more excited!"PTO Secretary Rachael Swigertsaid. "It was a huge endeavor,and we are happy and blessed it

worked out so well!"The PTO had incentives for

attending. Elizabeth Clark'skindergarten class won a pizzaparty, and the entire kinder-garten cohort had the largestpercentage of registered biddersand won a popcorn party.

PTO Vice President JessicaWolfendon added that one high-light of the event involved throw-ing pies.

"MAS and the PTO are commit-ted to all children learning howto read well, and we were able to

celebrate Accelerated Readerachievement. Students who hadearned over 500 points wereallowed to throw a pie into ourSRO Aubrey [Rominger]'s face.We had seven students qualify,and five were able to attend theevent. Our SRO not only protectsour students, but she believes intheir hard work and achieve-ment."

"It was a fabulous evening, andwe are already beginning to thinkabout updates for next spring,"Brnik said.

It is still April … don’t be fooled!

It seemsas if thet e r m“fraud” or“scam” isused almostdaily in thenews thesedays.

In oneway or the other, there are people in this worldwho want to make a quick buck at yourexpense.

I know April Fool’s Day is passed, but thosewho seek to make “fools” of honest folks seemto operate every day of the year. Recently, Iwarned readers about burglars and thieves,who prey on homeowners, especially in springand summer, when we’re gone on trips, orwhen we are more likely to leave a doorunlocked or a window open. These criminalsare too lazy to seek useful employment, theywould rather steal from hardworking citizenswho buy what they want and need.

That is why the Bradley County Sheriff’sOffice is constantly on the lookout for burglarsand thieves of another sort … the scam artistor those who commit fraud.

There are all different kinds of swindles. Nodoubt, you have heard of the IRS scam, or thejury duty scam, both of which have swept ourarea recently. The IRS scam accuses honestresidents of owing money to the InternalRevenue Service … money they do not owe.

The jury duty scam can be even scarier, asthose involved allege honest residents havemissed a court date and will be jailed unlessthey pay a fee. These are just a couple of thefrauds, scams, swindles or whatever youchoose to call them.

Also, there are all sorts of home improve-ment frauds floating around this time of year.Do not be an April Fool, be ready and be sus-picious when people purporting to representroofing companies or lawn services roll intoyour neighborhood.

Some people are talked into paying the totalfee before services are rendered, then the serv-ices are never completed.

The “contractor” disappears with the money,never to be seen again.

Scarlett O’Hara outfit could fetch $100,000 at auctionDALLAS (AP) — Experts say an

Heritage Auctions is offering

the gray jacket and skirt, featur-ing a black zigzag applique, plusother items from the AcademyAward-winning film at auctionSaturday in Beverly Hills,California.

Dallas-based Heritage says

more than 150 items from themovie, including costumes andprops, are being offered byJames Tumblin. He formerly wasin charge of the hair and makeupdepartment at UniversalStudios.

There are a few items that Ialways keep in my car for when Igo on farm and garden calls.

I always bring my soil auger, sothat I can sample top- and sub-soil at the growing site, alongwith several soil analysis kits.

Second, I always bring a rain-coat so that I’m prepared if I getcaught in a storm.

Next, I always make sure I’vepacked my compendium ofSouthern Weeds in case I runacross something that I can’tidentify.

Lastly, I also make sure tohave a stain stick for if I spill cof-fee on myself during the drive tothe call — it’s true, some thingsyou have to learn the hard way.

For the past couple weeks,though, it seems like both theWeed book and my raincoat havebeen getting the brunt of thework. Between weeks of on-and-off rain and the rapidly warmingtemperatures, the weeds in near-ly every field and lot have beenthriving. In our little garden, vio-lets, wild onion and morning glo-ries have all been growing at anunbelievable rate and even in theExtension Office parking lot wecan see catchweed bedstrawclimbing out of every crack in the

pavement.

Strategies for ManagementIn light of the increasing vigor

of our unwanted plants, we’ll bediscussing strategies for gardenweed control in our next Mondaynight class at the ClevelandPublic Library. I’ll cover identify-ing problem garden weeds anddifferent management tech-niques that range from mechani-cal to cultural to chemical. Ifyou’re struggling with weedsalready, this may be a good placeto start.

Too often during mid-summerfarm visits I run across the pull-the-weeds-when-they-shade-out-the-tomato type of managementstrategy.

If this is you, then shouldknow that weeds actively com-pete with crop and ornamental-type plants, so a plan that waitsfor them to reach a vigorous,mature state has already let theweeds do their damage.

By focusing on controllingweeds when they are young andin the vegetative state (beforethey start dropping more seeds!)your garden or plantings canachieve their full productivepotential.

Why Are Weeds So Difficultto Kill?

This is a common questionthat I hear fairly often. Unlikecrop plants, weeds have evolvedto be competitive and fast grow-ing with extensive root systemsand tremendous numbers ofseeds. They easily adapt toremain competitive duringdrought and spend very little oftheir energy growing fruit or flow-ers, but rather seek to createdense, monoculture stands oftheir vegetation.

A farming strategy that takesthese aggressive characteristicsinto account will seek to kill weedseedlings as soon as they germi-nate or even before they have theopportunity to sprout.

If weeds have been a problemin your gardens or plantings, I’dencourage you to visit with us onMonday at 6 p.m. at theCleveland Public Library, or giveus a call at the CooperativeExtension Office a call at (423)728 7001.

Wet soils and weed seeds

NEW YORK (AP) — Audra Friishas already decided on a LongIsland day camp for her 7-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son.She’s confident her oldest will dojust fine after attending other daycamps, but she’s a tad worriedher first-timer will have troublesettling in.

“He doesn’t transition as easilyas his older sister,” Friis said. “It’sdefinitely a high-energy camp. Mywhole issue is really the highenergy and the overstimulation.Kids respond to that or theydon’t.”

While some kids prefer to knowall the details of a new experi-ence, she thinks a less-is-moreapproach to preparing herkindergartner is the way to go.With sign-ups for day and sleep-away programs under way, she’snot the only parent looking aheadto easing that transition.

“Instead of filling his head withall of the things that he’s going tobe doing that would ordinarily getsomebody excited, he might backaway and decide it doesn’t soundlike fun,” said Friis, who lives inCommack, New York. “It took hima few weeks to get used to theidea of a fire drill at school, withthe loud noises and everything,and now he’s OK because heknows what it is.”

Camp directors and consult-ants think there’s no one way toprep new campers since a child’spersonality and the care taken inchoosing a camp play key roles,but there are things parentsshould avoid doing and saying.

Never, for example, promise achild heading off to sleepawaycamp for the first time that they’llbe picked up early if they gethomesick.

“Kids shouldn’t go into it withthe feeling that they have an out.Start with an attitude of excite-ment and enthusiasm and confi-dence,” said Laurie Kaiden, whocalls herself a Campcierge for herwork connecting parents with theMaine Camp Experience, a groupof 32 camps there.

She’s also a mom. Her 9-year-old daughter went to sleepawayfor the first time last summerwithout a hitch and her 6-year-old daughter attends a day campthat requires a 45-minute busride each way. For the long busride, she recalls packing an extrasnack for the return trip home,assuring her daughter that shewas going to have a great time,and that’s about it.

“My kids didn’t have a transi-tion problem and I think the rea-son is because it’s all been a tran-sition. Before they went to theday camp that’s 45 minutes awaythey went to a local camp thatwas five or 10 minutes away, thatI drove them to.”

Kaiden’s oldest had the benefitof a “sleep week” at her day campbefore heading off to overnightcamp the following summer. Thefamily also stepped up her sleep-overs at friends’ homes.

Trial or introductory programsare a good idea for parents whoaren’t sure whether their kids willdo well in a day program or farfrom home. Many sleepawaycamps offer “taster” sessions ofone to two weeks.

David Seddon is a former campcounselor who trains staff andworks with parents as director ofthe Frost Valley YMCA sleepawaycamp program for younger kids,in Claryville, New York. He rec-ommends a one-week trial ses-sion for first-timers.

Whether it’s taking on a newactivity or trying a new food,Seddon said parents should talkwith kids before the season startsabout what they expect fromthem.

“What is it that you’re sendingthem to camp for? A lot of kidscome to camp and they reallydon’t know why they’re here,” hesaid.

Parents also should realizethat kids might end up likingthings at camp that they wouldn’ttry at home, Seddon said.

“Sometimes we get a camperinformation form that says hewon’t eat anything and then hegets to camp and he eats every-thing. They go home with a com-pletely different diet just becausethey’ve been away from their par-ents and tried new things,” hesaid.

Seddon agreed that “overtalk-ing” the details ahead of time —how many activities are crammedinto a day, say, or what the show-ers are like — might create undueanxiety.

Logistics will work themselvesout with the help of counselors,he said. And lots of camps try tocreate some familiarity for new-

comers through videos, home vis-its and group meet-ups.

Lindsay Davis, who works withsick kids and their families as acertified child life specialist at theChildren’s Hospital at Montefiorein the Bronx, has chaperonedyoung sickle-cell patients at acamp in Ashford, Connecticut,called Hole in the Wall Gang. Shesuggests that parents be asdetailed as possible on campforms that ask them to describetheir kids.

Perhaps most importantly, sheadvises: “Remind (kids) there isno right or wrong way to experi-ence camp. Their job is to justrelax and have fun.”

Kids going to camp for the first time? Don’t overtalk it

“What is it that you’re sending them to camp for? A lotof kids come to camp and they really don’t know why

they’re here.” — David Seddon

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — There aremany firsts to be discovered on atrip to the new YMCA summercamp at Horsethief Reservoir inthe mountains of central Idaho.

A first encounter with a camp-fire, perhaps. A first night inbunk beds with cabin-mates,telling ghost stories in the dark.That first plunge off the dock intothe cool waters of the reservoir.

And for many kids, the firstday without any electronicdevices, because they all had tobe handed over to the counselorswhen campers boarded the busto the mountains.

YMCA summer camps havebeen around for more than acentury, and they still providethe basics — the archery, canoe-ing, crafts and obstacle courses— that the organization believeskids need to grow into adultswho appreciate and love the out-doors.

“What we are here for is to getkids into an outdoor setting thatcan help them develop the skillsand tools they need to live,” saidLaura Mahan, executive directorof the Boise YMCA’s summercamp at Horsethief Reservoir.

She doesn’t mean wildernesssurvival skills, although thoseare also taught here.

“We are really focused on rela-tionships and character develop-ment, and we use the outdoorsetting for that,” Mahan said.

The 400-acre Horsethief,which opened in 2010 about 100miles northeast of Boise, is one ofmore than 300 overnight YMCAcamps around the country, andthe first new one west of theMississippi in 50 years. Boisehas had other YMCA campssince 1905.

Nearly 200,000 American chil-dren and teenagers attend YMCAcamps each summer, said JohnDuntley, senior camping special-ist at the YMCA of the USA inChicago. Most YMCA camps arein the Northeast. The averagecost is about $600 per week,Duntley said, and financial aid isavailable. (Horsethief Reservoir is$500 a week.)

Many YMCAs also offer daycamps.

All YMCA camps, Duntley said,are built around the values ofcaring, honesty, respect andresponsibility.

“Those values cross all reli-gions and ethnicities and areuniversal to all people,” said JimEverett, CEO of the TreasureValley Family YMCA and a forcebehind the creation of theHorsethief camp. “It’s about,‘What is my responsibility to thegreater good?’”

The YMCA’s Camp Dudley inMassachusetts lays claim to

being the oldest continuouslyoperating summer camp in theUnited States. It started in 1885,said Tom Holland, a spokesmanfor the American CampAssociation, which accreditsmore than 2,400 camps aroundthe country.

Everett said he enjoys seeingchildren from different back-grounds meet on equal ground atHorsethief Reservoir.

“You have children frommigrant worker families and kidswho live in a mansion,” he said.

“It gives kids an appreciationfor what others do have. It’s themost level playing field on theplanet.”

Another valued lesson is self-sufficiency.

“One of the first things we do isdismantle a bike, so if your chainpops off on the trail, you knowhow to put it on. You’re not like,‘My dad’s not here, what do Ido?’” said counselor TravisMiller, Horsethief’s adventurecamp coordinator.

Although many camps offerthe simple, traditional and elec-tronics-free activities offered by Ycamps, the YMCA name helpsparents know what they’re goingto get.

“They all have a curriculumthey adhere to,” said JillTipograph, a Manhattan-basedsummer-camp consultant whoworks with parents. “So there’san understanding for parentsthat if they send their child to a Ycamp they’re going to have kindof a classic experience. It’s abrand, so they can feel confidentthat their child will get that expe-rience.”

Electronics-free summercamps are “very much in vogueright now,” Tipograph said.

“I get calls from parents sayingto me, ‘I need to get my childunplugged, I need him to learnhow to communicate.’”

At Horsethief, electronicdevices are returned to kids atthe end of the stay, which is usu-ally a week.

“We do not usually have par-ents who object, although a par-ent has been known to hide a cellphone in a camper’s luggage ‘justin case’ they need to call home,”said Mahan. “Most parents see itas a great thing....

“The teens, on the other hand,are pretty crafty at trying tosneak them in,” she said. “Weconfiscate them as quickly as wefind them.”

To help develop cooperationand character, kids at Y campsshare small cabins where theycan learn to resolve personalitydifferences.

“When you’re living in a smallgroup setting and you have a dis-

agreement with another kid, youhave to talk about it. We help youwith the tools for resolving it,”Mahan said.

For Everett, Idaho’s wildernessalso plays a key role. He likes totake groups hiking at night to aplace where they can turn offtheir headlamps and lie on hugerocks, gazing at the stars.

“The kids are a little nervous atfirst,” he said. “Nobody is saying

anything; nobody wants to breakthat silence.

“How often do you get to justsit and look at the magnificentsky and think, ‘Wow’? To me,that’s part of counting yourblessings, which we do a lot atcamp.”

Camping and playingon Lake Ocoee

The Associated Press

For kids whose dream summercamp involves more coding thancanoeing, more technology thantennis and more science thanswimming, STEM summer camps— once considered a contradic-tion in terms — are popular andplentiful.

The camps, ranging from pri-vate half-day camps for youngerchildren to longer sleep-awaycamps for teenagers, cater to kidswho are passionate about STEMsubjects (science, technology,engineering and math) or whojust love immersing themselvesin projects involving thinking cre-atively and problem-solving.

“We’re definitely seeing a lotmore summer programs thatfocus on science, technology,engineering and math, and alsoprograms that combined thoseelements with art,” said KathyHeraghty, program director andfounder of Destination Science,based in Orange, California. Thegroup, which began in Californiain 2000, now runs summercamps for children ages 5 to 11in five states.

“The education system is slow-ly coming around to putting moreemphasis on the sciences, andparents are also beginning tochange some pretty old-fash-ioned ideas about summercamps and also about science,which is about way more thandata and Bunsen burners,” shesaid.

STEM-oriented summer campsoften include more traditionalsummer pursuits like swimmingand crafts, but the focus is on thefun of “thinking like a scientist”in more depth than is often pos-sible during the school year.

“We focus on things that areplayful and fun and that kids canconnect to, like building a reallycool car with a solar cell,”Heraghty said.

“This summer we are introduc-

ing a Super Heroes camp thattakes a closer looks at bats andspiders and things like warpspeed. And robotics and robotsare also always exciting to kids.”

The camps cost $379 per weekfor full day camp, with discountsavailable to those who registerearly and some scholarshipsavailable.

For older kids looking for asleep-away experience, optionsinclude BEAM Camp, in Stafford,New Hampshire, which offersthree-and-a-half-week camps forkids ages 10 to 17.

“We’re a camp about makingthings and bringing ideas to life,”said co-founder Brian Cohen,who shuns the STEM labelbecause, he said, the emphasisshould be on the human side ofthings and “fashioning physicalreality,” not on abstract con-cepts.

“We give kids the experience ofmaking a big idea happen ontheir own. Last summer, the kidsin one session built a 30-footkaleidoscope, and another ses-sion built a boat powered by ahuman-size hamster wheel,” hesaid.

In addition to building andproblem-solving, campers swimdaily and spend time with chefs,artists, architects and engineersto help broaden their ideas aboutcreative career options. Thecamps, open to boys and girls,have a hefty $5,200 price tag, butCohen said about 40 percent ofcampers receive partial or fullscholarships.

Emagination, a much largersummer camp focusing on cod-ing, game design and other com-puter skills, offers day camp andsleep-away options for kids ages8 to 17 in five major cities in theMidwest and on the East Coast.Camps range in price from $845per week for day camp to almost

Summer camp means colorwars, campfires and friendlycompetitions. But at manycamps, daily routines get a joltevery now and then with wackyevents, from pies in the face toapplesauce wrestling.

In addition to the surprise ele-ment and sheer fun, there’s apsychology behind these once-a-summer happenings. Campsnowadays are attended by kidsused to compelling forms ofentertainment, from videogamesto interactive theme park rides,so some try to make memoriesbeyond the silly traditions, cre-ative themes and daily activitiesthat have historically shaped the

camp experience.“How fun can you make camp?

How out of the box can it be?”says Lori Waldman, co-owner ofCamp Blue Ridge near Dillard,Georgia.

Here are a few examples of off-the-wall events staged now andthen to shake things up at sum-mer camps.

TAPED TO THE WALLOn Crazy Feats Day at Camp

Blue Ridge, campers are dividedinto teams and given supplies,including a few rolls of duct tape,along with a series of tasks.

They don’t get detailed instruc-tions — just a clue about what’sexpected. For example, theymight be told to create TobyMaguire’s protege — hint“Spider-Man”. If they’re smart,they’ll choose the lightest personon their team to tape to the walllike Spider-Man.

FESTIVUSFans of the TV show “Seinfeld”

will remember Festivus, an alter-native to celebrating Christmas.At Maine Teen Camp in Porter,Maine, it’s an alternative to colorwar.

“The idea is not for us to defineprecisely what needs to happen,but instead, allow staff andcampers to come up with a funtheme for a day-long carnivaland feast,” explained co-directorMatthew Pines. Themes haveincluded NASA, zombies andsuperheroes.

A “wheel of misfortune” offersrandom campers and staff “suchwonderful prizes” as a pie in the

face, getting drenched by awaterfall (water poured off a bal-cony) or a surprise party, withconfetti blown from a leaf-blower.You might be covered with choco-late syrup or paint — to bewashed off by a dunk in the lake— before taking part in sportsand game competitions, followedby an evening banquet of, whatelse?, lobster (this is Maine).

MUD BATH“Everyone likes playing in the

mud,” says Driftwood Day Campowner Mike Wagenberg. So oncea year, the camp fills an outdoorinflatable skating rink withtruckloads of dirt, adds water,and invites campers and staff tojump in. When it’s over, you gethosed down.

Related events at the camp,located in Melville, N.Y., haveincluded applesauce wrestlingand a “Tough Mudder” coursewith obstacles including a mudrun.

PIE IN THE FACEJodi Turk’s twins have sum-

mer birthdays. Here’s what soldthem on attending Camp Echo:On your birthday, you get to pieany counselor you want in theface while the rest of the campchants “Pie in the face! Pie in theface!”

Oh, and there’s also a cake foryour cabin, and the whole campsings “Happy Birthday.” But thepie’s the highlight, especiallysince the moment is recordedwith a photo that gets hung inthe dining hall. Those gettingpied can choose between

whipped cream or shavingcream.

“After a while, the staff beganto realize there’s no bigger com-pliment than getting picked for apie in the face,” said Jeff Grabow,director of the camp inBloomingburg, New York. “It’snot a vengeance thing. We cantell who the best counselors arebecause their pictures are onthat wall of fame.”

Those tear-stained letters home: How to handle homesickness

By Lisa FLamThe Associated Press

Attending overnight camp forthe first time last summer, 10-year-old Lily Becker longed to beback home in Chicago. Shemissed her parents and sister,wondering what they were doingand wishing she could hear theirvoices. She missed simply beingalone in her bedroom.

“I was really, really homesick,”Lily recalled of her “painful” firsthalf of a four-week session atSanborn Western Camps: HighTrails Ranch for Girls inFlorissant, Colorado. “It was kindof scary at first because I hadnever been away from homebefore for that long.”

Lily got through her homesick-ness with the help of friends,experienced campers who prom-ised it would get better, and hercounselors, and by pushing her-self to focus on having fun in thepresent rather than dwelling onhome.

“I set a goal for myself not tocry for five days,” she said. “Ikept thinking about my momand dad, and by thinking ofthem, I wasn’t having any funbecause I kept crying all thetime.”

Lily proudly held in her tearsand began having such a goodtime that by the last day, shedidn’t want to leave. “It was thebest experience after those twoweeks,” she said.

As hard as it may feel forcampers — and parents whoreceive their tear-stained lettershome — homesickness may be ascommon at sleepaway camp assunscreen and color war.

“Homesickness is a perfectlynormal human emotion,” saidclinical psychologist Dr. MichaelThompson, whose book“Homesick and Happy” (Random

House, 2012) reflects his beliefthat children can feel both whileaway at camp. “It means youhave a home worth missing.”

Overcoming homesickness andspending time away from parentshelps children gain self-assur-ance and independence, expertssay.

“It inoculates them againstfuture bouts of intense home-sickness, like freshman year incollege or the next year of camp,and it can teach them emotion-regulation skills that will be help-ful throughout their lives,” saysDr. Christopher Thurber, a clini-cal psychologist who hasresearched homesickness andworked at camps for threedecades.

Homesickness is often a long-ing for Mom and Dad, but canalso be for a pet or pillow, homecooking or an activity like screentime.

“Just about everybody missessomething about home,” Thurbersays.

His research found that about95 percent of kids who spent aweek or two at an overnightcamp felt homesick at least once,feelings so mild they might nothave even called them “home-sickness.” About 20 percent hadmoderate to severe homesick-ness, while 7 percent sufferedthe most intense homesickness,with possible signs of anxiety ordepression, he said.

“Most of the kids who are both-ered by it learn to cope with it —that’s a confidence-builder,”Thurber said. “For the few whoexperience it quite intensely, thestaff are there to coach them

through it.”There are steps parents can

take to reduce the risk.Before camp, talk with kids

about the possibility of home-sickness and offer ideas for feel-ing better, like talking to a coun-selor or writing a letter home.“Many parents don’t want tobring it up because they think itwill make it worse, but this isnaive,” said Thompson, also aconsultant to numerousovernight camps.

Lynda Bekore sent her 9-year-old son to camp in New Jersey forthe first time five years ago witha way to feel close to home if hewas homesick: Just before lightsout, she said, look at the moon,and she would do the same.

Her son sounded homesick inhis first letter, said Bekore, ofMerrick, New York: “I’m having agood time. At night I’m looking atthe moon.” Several weeks lateron visiting day, she was relievedthat he had forgotten all aboutthe moon and had needed to gazeupward only the first few nights.

Thurber suggests three moretips for parents:

— Let children practice beingaway from home by planningsleepovers with friends andgrandparents (no texting or call-ing).

— Get the kids involved inplanning and packing for campso they feel ownership over theexperience.

— Don’t agree to pick them upearly if they ask to be rescued atthe first pang of sadness.

“Parents need to say, ‘No.Absolutely not,’” Thurber said.“That might seem like tough love

but it’s the very message kidsneed to hear. ‘This is your experi-ence. You’re not going to be res-cued.’”

Some kids do leave camp early,and before that decision is made,Thompson suggests parents relyon the advice of the camp direc-tor. For these campers, their timeat camp should be celebrated,rather than viewed as a failure.

Lily wrote her parents askingto go home, but they had agreedbeforehand that was not anoption. Reassured by the campthat her daughter was havingfun, Lisa Becker, who attendedthe camp as a girl, was proud ofLily for sticking it out, and saidher daughter returned with anew sense of independence andappreciation for home.

“She had a lot to overcome,”Becker said. “She was super sad,and I think it was a big accom-plishment for her.”

Ariella Rogge, a director atSanborn, says that even kidswho are excited about being atcamp “are still going to havemoments they’re just blue,”Rogge said. “There’s thatmoment, and they write about it.Part of that coping skill is towrite about it.”

Making a friend, mastering askill and the simple passage oftime can help cure homesick-ness.

“They develop competence incamp living, which gives themconfidence in themselves andtheir ability to live without thehelp of their parents,” Roggesaid.

Dr. arLie tagayUna, left, and Devonte Coleman pose for aphoto after their Southern Sociological Society presentation.

Lee’s Tagayuna and Coleman present research at conference

Dr. Arlie Tagayuna, an assis-tant professor of sociology at Lee,and Devonte Coleman, a seniorsociology major, recently present-ed research at the 2015 meetingof the Southern SociologicalSociety. The meeting took placein New Orleans.

Their presentation, titled“From Rap to Lap: A DiscourseAnalysis of Rap Music in thePromotion of Sex Trafficking,”explored how the burgeoning ofcontemporary rap music facili-tates a culture of sexual exploita-tion of women, particularly in thefield of sex trafficking.

“I think this is a prime exampleof student-professor collabora-tion,” said Tagayuna. “I alwayscome to the table with my stu-dents knowing that they can beexperts on something, and Icould learn more in the process.”

Tagayuna and Coleman’sresearch delved into a discourseanalysis of 150 rap songs from1998 to 2014 in seeking agrounded theory from lyrics and

its presentation in music televi-sion. According to their research,since rap music’s creation in thelate 1980s, themes and subjectsof most of the lyrics have nowshifted to social deviance andcrime.

The project sought to answerthe question, “How does rapmusic facilitate the promotion ofsex trafficking?” Furthermore,the analysis ventured into thesubliminal mechanisms of differ-ent ways women are presented inthe media and how these inter-sect with race and social class.

“This project was engineeredwith Devonte’s expertise in rapmusic and my interest in humantrafficking,” said Tagayuna. “Ifirmly believe that pedagogicalpractice can be rewarding if youare able to motivate students inactive learning.”

The chal-lenge is that every team hasonly the month of February toimplement their campaign.

This year, the national clientwas Home Matters, a coast-to-coast coalition that seeks topartner with organizations thatstrive to promote the five foun-dations of a home, which areHealth, Education, StableEconomy, Individual Success,and Public Safety.

Jasper — The Tennessee riverGorge Trust, The Land Trust forTennessee, The ConservationFund, Harvey Cameron and Thesoutheastern Climbers Coalitionhave announced Castle rock,Marion County’s most iconic viewas well as a renowned rock climb-ing venue, will be protected andaccessible for generations tocome.

The Land Trust for Tennesseeholds a conservation easement onthe 30-acre Castle rock propertythat will protect it in perpetuitywhile allowing access for recre-ational use.

Through a lease agreement withthe Tennessee river Gorge Trust,The southeastern ClimbersCoalition will continue to managethe property for rock climbingenthusiasts and other recreation-al needs, which it has done since2005.

Castle rock sits atop theCumberland plateau in MarionCounty. The forested propertycontains nearly a half mile of bluffline, clearly visible from the valleybelow, which is popular amonglocal and visiting rock climbers.The south-facing sandstone turretforming the bluff offers breathtak-ing views of the scenic sequatchieValley.

The Castle rock property waspreviously jointly owned byHarvey Cameron, an attorneyfrom Jasper, and the late Bud(sam) Werner, an honored veteranand conservationist.

Werner’s ownership wasbequeathed to The ConservationFund, a national organizationdedicated to creating land andwater protection strategies thatbalance environmental steward-ship with economic vitality.

The “Pin the Patriot” programthis month was given by the chap-ter secretary John A. Clines hon-oring his ancestor, George Cline.This was very appropriate with 18members of the Clines family pres-ent at the meeting.

John said his patriot was bornas Hans Gorge Klein in 1740 inPostroff, Lorraine, in the northernGerman-speaking part of France.George Cline arrived with his par-ents and family in Philadelphia onthe ship Phoenix in 1744. They ini-tially settled in Berks County, Pa.

On 4 Nov.4, 1776, George enlisted in thecontinental army into the 12thPennsylvania Regiment. This wasalso the same day that his thirdson, Levi, was born.

With the 12th Regiment’s head-quarters at Amboy, Pa., they wereinvolved in battle engagements atBound Brook, Brandywine,Monmouth and Germantown.They wintered over at Valley Forgeas part of George Washington’sarmy in the winter of 1777-78.

George made corporal, and wasmade sergeant in Capt. Craig’sCompany of the 3rd Regimentunder Col. Thomas Craig.

His first enlistment was over inJanuary 1781 and his family thenmoved to Washington County, Pa.In early 1782 he re-enlisting intoWashington county, Pa., militia.His unit was believed to have beenassigned to defend Fort Henry.With his family in the fort, it wasattacked by Indians Sept. 11,

1782, by British and Indians.George’s third son was killed bythe Indians.

In 1795 the entire Cline familywas living in the GrandviewTownship of Ohio. George diedthere in 1801. The Cline familycomes through George’s secondson, John, who was born in 1772and married Mary Brown in 1791in Virginia. He has been recognizedas helping defend the fort at

Wheeling (now West Virginia)against the notorious Simon Girty.John was pretty active being aJustice of the Peace, a spy, afarmer of hemp, and with his homeserving as the site where the firstsermon was preached in Jericho,Benton Township, Va. The Clineline from this John to present livedprimarily in Indiana and Ohio andthen into Michigan for the pastthree to four generations.

He then presented Certificatesof Appreciations to President Bob

George for the chapter, and one toBill Hamilton (Perry Skates wasnot available to receive his). Henext presented the McCarthyDemere Membership award andplaque to President George.

This was awarded to the chap-ter that brought in the most newmembers in the past year, andthat was the Col. BenjaminCleveland Chapter. Stan Evansand Lynn Freeman, the two who

N.Y. woman tackles pothole problem by planting pansies thereSCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) —

An upstate New York womanhas taken on the post-winterpothole problem in her home-town by filling in the eyesoreswith pansies.

After months of severe weath-er left the streets ofSchenectady pocked with pave-ment craters and city publicworks crews scrambling to fixthem, some residents began fill-ing in the holes themselves.

Elaine Santore decided to takeit a step further by dumping dirtand pansies into potholes on twostreets. She told The DailyGazette of Schenectady that shedecided to plant the flowers tomake a statement about theproblem and to make peoplesmile after what she called “ahorrible winter.”

Of the 10 holes she filled withflowers over three days startingMonday, Santore told The

Associated Press on Friday thatshe believed all have now beenfixed by city crews. When shedrove past on her way to work,most of the holes had beenpatched over with blacktop, shesaid.

“I knew something would hap-pen to them,” she said. “Eitherpeople would take the flowers orthey would be filled in.”

Santore, the director of a localnot-for-profit organization that

helps retirees remain in theirhomes, said she wanted to dosomething different to addressher city’s annual pothole prob-lem, one that has been particu-larly widespread thanks to aharsh winter.

“The winter was so hard oneverybody and so depressing,”she said. “I wanted to do some-thing creative to solve a problemwe have every year and bring asmile to people’s faces.”

Gray began to discuss hiscareer in Cleveland. “I beganworking in the agency on the staffof Bill Creech and Jim Brown,who were partnering agents herefrom 1964 until 2001. I came towork with them in 1998. Theyretired in 2001 and I bought themout,” Gay said.

Gray explained he had beenleasing the building from Creechand Brown up until he bought itlast year.

Gray also said the building wasput in 1986 and was really begin-ning to show its age,

“We really ran out of space, wewere really crammed in, but therenovation gives not only theoprottunity to spread out andpresume a more professionalatmosphere, but we’re pretty wellplanned for if we have to addanother two, three, four employ-ees. So, it does allow for futuregrowth for years to come,” saidGray.

Don’t panic, college seniors: Jobs for grads likely to growWASHINGTON (AP) — The con-

sulting and accounting firm EY isaggressively recruiting on collegecampuses this spring. The com-pany formerly known as Ernst &Young plans to hire 9,000 gradu-ates from U.S. universities thisyear, up from 7,500 in 2014. Butrecruiting isn’t as easy as it usedto be.

“I’m seeing a lot more competi-tion” from rival employers, saysDan Black, EY’s Americasrecruiting leader.

That’s good news for collegeseniors and graduate studentspreparing to accept diplomas thisspring, and a sign that new grad-uates will fare better than theydid in 2014. The LaborDepartment reported onThursday that the unemploymentrate for Americans in their 20swho received a four-year oradvanced degree last year rose to12.4 percent from 10.9 percent in2013.

“This is a real breakout year,”said Philip Gardner, director ofMichigan State University’sCollegiate Employment Research

Institute.In a survey of employers last

fall, the employment center foundthat hiring of graduates withfour-year degrees will rise 16 per-cent this year.

“It’s led by the ones you wouldexpect — engineering and busi-ness,” Gardner said. “But thereseems to be a lot of room foreverybody... Even arts andhumanities are making a come-back.”

Employers have more openingsto fill because Baby Boomers areretiring and more workers arefeeling confident enough aboutthe economy to switch jobs.Overall, the United States gener-ated 3.1 million jobs last year, themost since 1999. The overallunemployment rate has fallen to5.5 percent in March from 6.7percent at the end of 2013.

Tyler Etten, 22, had a $54,000-a-year job in finance waiting forhim when he graduated fromIowa State University in May2014. Three months later, hebounced to an even better jobwith the investment firm Piper

Jaffray in Minneapolis. His 3.5grade point average helped. ButEtten says he set himself apart bygetting internships, participatingin campus clubs and spendinghis spare time learning financialmodeling and advanced Excelskills.

“A degree is not enough withrecord amounts of people gradu-ating from college,” he said.

In particular, employerdemand for so-called STEM grad-uates — in science, technology,engineering and mathematics —is high.

“We can’t graduate enoughengineers,” said Holly Proffitt,employer relations coordinator inthe career services office atArkansas State University.

Still, many recent college gradsare struggling and have yet toenjoy a full recovery from thedark days of the Great Recession.

In a report last year,researchers at the FederalReserve Bank of San Franciscofound that wages for recent col-lege graduates haven’t kept upwith overall wages since the

Great Recession. Between 2007and 2014, median wages for allfull-time workers rose 15 per-cent. For recent college grads,they rose just 6 percent. Thesame thing happened after the2001 recession: College grads’wages lagged behind everyoneelse’s as the economy recovered,the report said.

The Michigan State surveyfound that 62 percent of employ-ers were planning to keep start-ing wages flat for college gradscompared to last year; 37 percentplanned to increase startingsalaries. The increases tended torange from 3 percent to 5 per-cent.

Elizabeth Earl, 22, landed a jobat a health care trade publicationafter graduating from ColumbiaCollege Chicago in December. Thepay is low and the work tedious,but she’s relieved she has a job.

“By the time you get out, youassume you’ll be a barista,” shesaid. “It’s not idyllic nor at allwhat I want to do, but it is a jobfrom which I can be getting paidwhile I consider career paths.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: On April 19,1995, a former U.S. Army soldierparked a rented Ryder truckpacked with explosives outside afederal building in OklahomaCity. The blast killed 168 peopleand injured more than 500 oth-ers, and the attack is the worsthomegrown terror attack onAmerican soil.

The bombing came only twoyears after the first attack on theWorld Trade Center.

Former U.S. soldier TimothyMcVeigh was convicted on 11counts of murder, conspiracy andusing a weapon of mass destruc-tion in the blast, and was laterexecuted. Another ex-soldier,Terry Nichols, was convicted onsimilar charges for his role in thebombing and sentenced to lifewithout parole, because the jurydeadlocked on the death penalty.The two were motivated by con-tempt for government, the hatredsharpened by the 1993 federalraid on the Branch Davidiancompound in Waco, Texas.

Twenty years later, the AP ismaking the original story andphotographs available.

——OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A

car bomb ripped deep intoAmerica’s heartland Wednesday,killing at least 33 people andleaving 200 missing in a blastthat gouged a nine-story hole ina federal office building.

The dead included at least 12youngsters, some of whom hadjust been dropped off by theirparents at a day-care center.

The government had receivedcalls from six people saying theywere from different Muslimgroups, asserting they wereresponsible for the deadliestU.S. bombing in 75 years.

“But there is no way to knowif the calls are genuine,” said aJustice Department official, whodeclined to be identified byname. “They could be hoaxes.”

At least 200 people wereinjured — 58 critically, accord-ing to Fire Chief Gary Marrs.Scores were feared trapped inthe rubble of the Alfred P.Murrah Federal Building.

“I was in Japan for the Kobeearthquake and saw the devas-tation,” said James Lee Witt,director of the FederalEmergency ManagementAgency. “The area impacted hereis just as bad, if not worse.”

Three people were pulled fromthe rubble Wednesday night buttwo died a short time later, saidAssistant Fire Chief JonHansen. He said a 15-year-oldgirl was taken from the buildingin critical condition. He also saida woman trapped in the base-ment said there were two otherswith her. She didn’t know if theywere dead or alive.

The death toll was certain torise.

“Our firefighters are having tocrawl over corpses in areas toget to people that are still alive,”said Hansen.

The first of four urban searchand rescue units activated bythe federal government washeaded into the building earlyThursday, using dogs, acousticlistening equipment and tinycameras to look for victims.

Attorney General Janet Renorefused to comment on whomight have been behind theattack. President Clinton calledthe bombers “evil cowards,” andReno said the government wouldseek the death penalty againstthem.

A Department of Public Safetydispatcher in El Paso, Texas,

told the El Paso Times that analert had been issued from theDPS for two people who may bebloodied and may be trying tocross into Mexico at Laredo,Texas. The bulletin said theinformation was on the authori-ty of the FBI.

The bomb was believed to bein a minivan with Texas plates,owned by National Car Rental,said Oklahoma City Police Sgt.Kim Hughes. An axle of the vehi-cle was found about two blocksfrom the scene, said a policesource who requested anonymi-ty.

Their clothes torn off, victimscovered in glass and plasteremerged bloodied and cryingfrom the building, which lookedas if a giant bite had been takenout of it, exposing its floors likea dollhouse.

Cables and other debris dan-gled from the floors like tangledstreamers in a scene thatbrought to mind the car bomb-ings at the U.S. Embassy andMarine barracks in Beirut in1983.

“I dove under that table,” saidBrian Espe, a state veterinarianwho was giving a slide presenta-

tion on the fifth floor. “When Icame out, I could see daylight ifI looked north and daylight if Ilooked west.”

Mayor Ron Norick said theblast, which left a crater 30 feetlong and 8 feet deep, was causedby a car bomb. He said the vehi-cle had been outside, in front ofthe building.

“Obviously, no amateur didthis,” Gov. Frank Keating said.“Whoever did this was an ani-mal.”

Police Sgt. Bill Martin saidthat 12 of those killed were chil-dren.

Earlier in the day, paramedicHeather Taylor said 17 childrenwere dead at the scene, a figurelater disputed by police. Dr. CarlSpengler, one of the first doctorsat the scene, said the children,all at the day-care center,ranged in age from 1 to 7, andsome were burned beyondrecognition.

About 20 of 40 children in theday-care center were missinglate in the day.

The search continued afternightfall, with about 100Oklahoma Army National Guardsoldiers activated to help withrescue and security operationsin the downtown area.

The explosion, similar to theterrorist car bombing that killedsix people and injured 1,000 atNew York’s World Trade Centerin 1993, happened just after 9a.m., when most of the morethan 500 federal employees werein their offices.

The blast could be felt 30miles away. Black smokestreamed across the skyline,and glass, bricks and otherdebris were spread over a widearea. The north side of thebuilding was gone. Cars wereincinerated on the street.

People frantically searched forloved ones, including parentswhose children were in thebuilding’s day-care center.

Christopher Wright of theCoast Guard, one of those help-ing inside the building, said res-cuers periodically turned offtheir chain saws and pryingtools to listen for pleas for help,“but we didn’t hear anything —just death.”

“You’re helpless really, whenyou see people two feet away,you can’t do anything, they’rejust smashed,” he said.

Doctors had to amputate onewoman’s leg to free her.

“She was lying underneath abeam. It was obvious that shecould not be extracted alive,”said Dr. Andy Sullivan. “Theattempt to remove the concretebeams would have caused therest of the building to collapse.So at that point there was nodecision made other than tocrawl into the space and per-form the amputation to get thepatient out.”

The building, which opened in1977, has offices of such federalagencies as the Bureau ofAlcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,Social Security, Veterans Affairs,the Drug EnforcementAdministration and Housingand Urban Development, and afederal employee credit unionand military recruiting offices.

The bomb was perhaps 1,000to 1,200 pounds, said JohnMagaw, ATF director. As forwhether his agency suspectedterrorists, he told CNN: “I thinkany time you have this kind ofdamage, this kind of explosion,you have to look there first.”

Bob Ricks, agent in charge ofthe FBI in Oklahoma, said that

there were hundreds of leadsand that the bureau was treat-ing them all seriously. “At thispoint we do not speculate as towho is responsible,” he said.

Keating said he was told bythe FBI that authorities wereinitially looking for three peopleof Middle Eastern descent in abrown pickup truck.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrolput out an all-points bulletin forthe three, but Keating laterdownplayed the report, saying itwas one of many leads beingchecked.

Keating also said they werechecking whether the rental of avehicle in the Dallas-Fort Wortharea was tied to the explosion.Dallas is about 200 miles southof Oklahoma City.

The explosion heightened U.S.fears of terrorism. Federal build-ings in several cities were evacu-ated because of bomb threats,and the government orderedtightened security at federalbuildings throughout the coun-try.

In 1920, a bomb blast in NewYork’s Wall Street area killed 40people and injured hundreds.

Oklahoma City bombing images

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A cargo truck laden with more thantwo tons of explosives was detonated in front of Oklahoma City’snine-story federal building on April 19, 1995 — an act of terror-ism that at the time was the worst such attack ever committedon U.S. soil.

The blast killed 168 people, including 19 children, injuredhundreds more and caused hundreds of millions of dollars indamage to structures and vehicles in the downtown area.

President Bill Clinton led a memorial service for the victims asthe FBI launched a nationwide investigation to find thoseresponsible.

Within days, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were arrest-ed and accused of conspiring to destroy the federal building inretribution for the government’s handling of the siege of theBranch Davidian religious group at their compound in Waco,Texas, two years earlier.

McVeigh and Nichols were tried and convicted on federalcharges, and Nichols was convicted of murder following a sepa-rate trial in Oklahoma. McVeigh was sentenced to death and exe-cuted and Nichols received multiple life prison sentences.

A memorial to the bombing’s victims now sits on the formersite of the federal building, and a nearby building that was dam-aged in the bombing houses an interactive museum.

Each year on the bombing’s anniversary, family members ofvictims, survivors, rescue workers and others return to thememorial for a remembrance ceremony.

In thIs APrIl 21, 1995 file photo, Timothy James McVeigh is lead out of the Noble CountyCourthouse by state and federal law enforcement officials in Perry, Okla., after being identified as a sus-pect in the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal building. McVeigh was sentenced to death and exe-cuted.

OklahomaFrom Page 53

Authorities concluded it was thework of “anarchists” and cameup with a list of suspects, but allhad fled to russia.

After Wednesday’s blast,emergency crews set up a firstaid center near the federal build-ing, and some of the injured saton the sidewalks, blood on theirheads or arms, awaiting aid.

Carole lawton, 62, a HUD sec-retary, said she was sitting ather desk on the seventh floorwhen “all of a sudden the win-dows blew in. It got real darkand the ceiling just started com-ing down.” She then heard “theroar of the whole building crum-bling.” She managed to crawl

down some stairs and was notinjured.

The explosion occurred on thesecond anniversary of the fiery,fatal ending to the federal siegeof the Branch Davidian com-pound in Waco, Texas. That siegebegan with a raid by ATF agentsa month and a half earlier.

Oklahoma City FBIspokesman Dan Vogel wouldn’tspeculate if there was a connec-tion. The FBI’s offices are aboutfive miles away.

New York Peace Monument receives preservation facelift

FOrT OgleTHOrPe, ga. —The New York Peace Monumentat Chickamauga andChattanooga National MilitaryPark is currently receiving a longoverdue preservation facelift.

This iconic Civil War memoriallocated within Point Park, atoplookout Mountain, last receiveda thorough cleaning in 1988. Themonument was originally erectedin 1907.

gordon Ponsford, a conserva-tor from Acworth, ga., has beencontracted to conduct this cur-rent preservation work. His crewhas been busy washing all thestone surfaces, re-pointing joints,cleaning and waxing bronzeplaques, and inspecting the mon-ument for other repair needs.

On Monday, April 20, they arescheduled to bring in a lift towork on the 85-foot tall granitecolumn and bronze statue at thetop of the monument. The areasdirectly surrounding the monu-ment will be temporarily closed tothe public while the crew com-pletes their work. The staff wish-es to apologize for any inconven-ience these activities might causepark visitors.

The park is using Point Parkentry fee money to cover the$150,000 cost of preserving thisimportant piece of our nation’shistory. Money collected by feeshas also been used to rehabilitatethe Point Park Visitor Center andthe Ochs Museum on lookout

Mountain.This preservation work is time-

ly as the Chickamauga andChattanooga National MilitaryPark prepares to commemorateits 125th Anniversary later this

year, and the National ParkService looks forward to celebrat-ing its 100th Anniversary in2016.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — TimothyMcVeigh considered theOklahoma City bombing a failurebecause he left the buildingstanding and once suggested thegovernment should pay hisdefense attorneys $800,000.

Documents revealing thosethings are among the more than 1million pages the convictedbomber’s former lawyer donatedto the Briscoe Center forAmerican History at theUniversity of Texas. The schoolbegan assembling the collectionin 1998 but it only became fullyorganized late last year.

The executive director of themuseum says lawyer StephenJones wasn’t comfortable puttingthe material at an Oklahomainstitution, fearing it would beseen as a “shrine” to McVeigh.

McVeigh was executed by injec-tion in 2001 for the 1995 bomb-ing that killed 168 people. At thetime it was the deadliest terroristattack on U.S. soil.

Those puppy eyes can help a dog bond with its owner

NEW YORK (AP) — Oh, thosepuppy eyes.

Just by gazing at their owners,dogs can trigger a response intheir masters’ brains that helpsthem bond, a study says.

And owners can do a similartrick in return, researchers

found.This two-way street evidently

began when dogs were domesti-cated long ago, because it helpedthe two species connect, theJapanese researchers say.

As canine psychology expertsEvan MacLean and Brian Hare ofDuke University wrote in a com-mentary on the work, “When yourdog is staring at you, she may notjust be after your sandwich.”

The new work is the first topresent a biological mechanismfor bonding across species, saidresearcher Larry Young of EmoryUniversity.

Neither he nor the Duke scien-tists were involved in the study,which is reported in a paper fromJapan released Thursday by thejournal Science.

The brain response is anincrease in levels of a hormonecalled oxytocin (ahk-see-TOH’-sin). Studies in people and ani-mals indicate this substance pro-motes social bonding, such asbetween parent and infant orbetween two lovers.

One experiment in the newresearch involved 30 owners andtheir dogs. Oxytocin levels in theurine of both species were sam-pled before and after the ownersand their dogs spent a half-hourtogether.

Analysis showed that ownerswhose dogs looked at them longerin the first five minutes had big-ger boosts in oxytocin levels.Similarly, dogs that gazed longergot a hormone boost, too. That’sevidently in response to beingtouched by their owners duringthe session, one of the studyauthors, Takefumi Kikusui ofAzabu University near Tokyo,said in an email.

No such result appeared whenresearchers tried the experimentwith wolves. The animals werepaired with people who hadraised them, although not aspets. The difference suggests dogsstarted gazing at owners as asocial strategy when they becamedomesticated, rather than inher-iting it from their wolf ancestors,researchers said.

Another experiment with dogsfound they looked at their ownerslonger if they were given doses ofoxytocin, and that the hormone’slevels then went up in their own-

ers. But these results appearedonly in female dogs; the reasonisn’t clear.

An oxytocin researcher notconnected to the study said previ-ous work had provided bits of evi-dence that the hormone plays arole in bonding between species,but that the new work is morecomprehensive.

“It makes very good sense,”said C. Sue Carter, who directsthe Kinsey Institute at IndianaUniversity.

But Clive Wynne of ArizonaState University, a psychologistwho studies interaction betweendogs and people, said he thinksthe link to domestication is “bark-ing up the wrong tree.” The studydoesn’t provide convincing evi-dence for that, he said.

Emory’s Young, who studiesbonding behavior, said the rela-tionship between people and dogsis special. Human love can loseits initial exhilaration over time,he said, but he hasn’t seen thatwith the dogs he has owned for 10years.

“When I come home from workevery day, they are just as excitedto see me now as they were whenI got them,” Young said.
