Dothan officiallyapproves Ledbetter

By PAYTON TOWNS IIIThe Dothan City School Board revoted for its superin-

tendent's position and once again named Dublin Superin-tendent Dr. Chuck Ledbetter for that position.According to The Dothan Eagle, the school board ap-

proved Ledbetter by a 4-2 vote Friday morning.On May 18, the Dothan City School Board approved

Ledbetter 5-2. That vote was cancelled because the boardused a secret ballot, which is illegal according to the Al-abama Open Meetings Act."Everything is done correctly and everything is moving

forward," Ledbetter said. "I'm excited about the new op-portunities. Right now I'm thinking about all of the thingsthat needs to get done in Dublin and in Dothan. We've gotto start working on the transition."Ledbetter has been the Dublin superintendent since

DEARABBY: I'm a 48-year-old woman. I have known Iwas gay since I was 14. No oneknows because I never actedon it until I met "Bob," my cur-rent common-law husband of25 years. I fell in love with hissister, "Janelle," back then.We kissed a few times and felldeeply in love, but because wedidn't want to hurt Bob, weended what we had.

Bob and I raised my son,who is being married thisyear. Through all these yearsmy feelings and Janelle's havenever changed. We love eachother and want the chance tobe together that we were de-nied back then.

I have given Bob 25 faithfulyears. I love him, but I am notin love with him. We are liketwo ships passing in the night.He has a temper and is vindic-tive. I want out of this rela-tionship to be with his sister. Ihave asked her to marry me,and she agreed. We don't wantto hurt Bob, but we love eachother. Please advise me how totell my husband I want outand want to be with his sister.-- WANTS OUT BACK EAST

DEAR WANTS OUT: Con-sidering that Bob has a tem-per and can be vindictive, Isuggest you do it in stages.The first is to tell him that youare not happy in the marriageand haven't been for a longtime. Depending upon yourtalent as an actress for thelast quarter-century, he mayor may not be surprised.

Then it will be time to tellhim that you have known for along time that you were moreattracted to women than tomen. Because you can't pre-dict how he will react, do it inthe presence of someone else -- but NOT Janelle.

Because there can be legalramifications regarding acommon-law marriage, youshould discuss this with alawyer before telling Bob youwant a divorce. Only after youhave left him and severalmonths have elapsed shouldyou and his sister let it beknown that you plan to have alife together. I say that be-cause vindictive people withnasty tempers can be violent.

DEARABBY: My wife and Iare in our 50s and have legalcustody of three of our grand-children, who are between theages of 3 and 8 years old. Wehave been raising them since

birth.My wife is nearing the end

of her battle with cancer. Myfamily -- my mother, siblingsand son -- keep asking mewhat I'm going to do when mywife passes away. They saythey know people who wouldadopt the children. I don'twish to be nasty, but I need tolet them know that I am ableto take care of my grandchil-dren.

Can you please tell me howto tell my family that I canraise my grandchildren with-out hurting their feelings likethey have hurt mine whenthey mention adoption? --HURT GRANDFATHER INPENNSYLVANIA

DEAR HURT: Yes, thewords to use are: "When yousay that to me, it hurts medeeply, so please don't say itagain. I will raise these chil-dren just as I always have,and I do not plan to ever turnthem over to strangers." Peri-od. Expressing it this way isnot hurtful; it clarifies yourfeelings..

East Laurens names Frazier fourth football coach

Dr. Annie Yarboroughmay or may not have beenthe first African-Americanfemale dentist to practicedentistry in the State ofGeorgia, but she was certain-ly the second African-American woman ever to beawarded a license by thestate. Dr. Yarborough was thefirst woman ever to practiceher profession outside ofAthens, Georgia, where Dr.Ida Mae Hiram hung her outher shingle in 1910.

Born Annie E. Taylor onJuly 18, 1882 in Eatonton,Georgia, Dr. Yarborough wasthe mulatto daughter of theRev. Hilliard Taylor andAnna E. Pennaman. Hermaternal grandfather,Morris Penneman, was a suc-cessful farmer and mill rightand for his time a largelandowner among a smallgroup of former slaves whoowned land in post Civil WarGeorgia.Annie attended the public

schools of Eatonton. After shegraduated from high schoolin 1896, Annie enrolled at theAtlanta University. Life wasdifficult for Annie and herfamily after Rev. Taylor diedall too young. She was edu-cated in the field of educationand took her first job in herhometown. Miss Taylormoved out of town andtaught in the Putnam Countyschools before moving toJasper, Dodge and LaurensCounties. In her spare timeand between school terms,Annie was quite a successfuldressmaker and fancy seam-stress.

It was during her tenurein Laurens County thatAnnie met Dr. AdolphusYarborough. They fell in love

and married on February 22,1906. Adolphus Yarboroughlearned his dental skillswhile working as an officeboy. Before he enteredDental School, Adolphusworked as a porter. He wasregarded by many as the bestmechanical dentist of hisrace in Georgia. AdolphusYarborough, born inSeptember 1881, was a sonof Nelson and CharleyYarborough and was the firstAfrican American dentist topractice in Laurens County.When they first got married,Adolphus and Annie lived inhis father's home on MarionStreet in Dublin.

Annie longed to workbeside her husband.Adolphus' office hours andhome visits rarely allowedthe couple to see each other,so Annie made up her mindthat she was going to becomea dentist. There was only oneproblem. There were no blackfemale dentists and Georgiaand no black dental schoolsin the state either.Annie had to leave Dublin

and move to Nashville,Tennessee where she enrolledat Meharry Medical College.During her first year atMeharry, Annie was electedto teach sewing and domesticscience at Walden University.In another rarity, Annie was

both a student and a teacherat the same time.

In the spring of 1910,Annie Taylor Yarboroughwalked across the stage andaccepted her diploma as agraduate. Dr. Ida MaeHiram, credited as the firstfemale African-Americandentist in Georgia was also amember of Class of 1910.Later that same year Dr.Hiram passed the dentalboard examinations andjoined her husband in theirdental office in Athens. Itwould be another year beforeDr. Yarborough would be offi-cially licensed to practice inGeorgia.Dr. Yarborough was active

in the Baptist Church. Shewas an outstanding memberof the Household of Ruth andthe Court of Calenthe.

The onset of World War Iprovided new opportunitiesfor dental students and prac-ticing dentists as well. Blackdentists finally thought thismay be their chance toexpand their practicesbeyond their own race.Applications to the newly cre-ated Dental Reserve Corpspoured in. Annie Yarboroughwas one of the first to apply.On June 6, 1917, just twomonths after the UnitedStates officially entered thewar, Dr. Yarborough volun-

teered for service. Her twobrothers had served in the9th and 10th Cavalry duringthe Spanish American Warand at the age of thirty four,Annie believed it was herduty to serve her country.She informed the Army thatshe was one of the few femaledentists in her state (eitherblack or white) and had com-pleted four years of dentaleducation at MeharryCollege.Four weeks later, the office

of the Surgeon General of theArmy issued its standarddenial of all women appli-cants, though the offer wasappreciated. As the war pro-gressed, the policy of nowomen in the Dental Corpschanged.During, or shortly after the

war, the Yarboroughsdivorced. Annie, with no chil-dren, changed her name backto her maiden name and livedin a house at 626 SouthJefferson Street in Dublinwith her mother and her sisterLeola Smith and her husbandHenry.Following the 1920 Census,

Dr. Annie Taylor seems to van-ish from Dublin. I could findno records of her. Perhaps she,like her father, died young.Maybe she moved to anothertown. Who knows? If youknow, contact me immediately.Dr. Annie Taylor

Yarborough was a woman ofhigh integrity, high educationand one whom all of LaurensCounty can rightfully anddeservedly be proud of.

May 14Morning News,

Savannah, Georgia, on get-ting tired truckers off theroad:Investigators with the

Georgia State Patrol have yetto file charges in connectionwith the fiery crash onInterstate 16 in April thatkilled five Georgia SouthernUniversity nursing studentswho were on their way fromthe Statesboro campus to aSavannah hospital.That process could take

weeks.However, state troopers

have pinned down the cause ofthe April 22 accident in BryanCounty, just west of Savannah.They said a tractor-trailercame up on slow-moving trafficand did not slow down in time,triggering a seven-vehicle,chain-reaction-type wreck. Thestudents were traveling in twoof those vehicles.The tragedy continues to

reverberate. Just recently, ithas spawned lawsuits.Families of three of the

young victims have filed law-suits against a trucker fromLouisiana who was driving the18-wheeler, alleging negli-gence. Among others named asdefendants were two truckingcompanies, TotalTransportation of Mississippiand U.S. Xpress EnterprisesInc.Again, the Georgia State

Patrol has the final word on

charges and it has yet to give afull, formal report about whathappened almost a month ago.But the most recent lawsuit

alleges that the driver who wasbehind the wheel of the truckthat caused the chain reaction,John Wayne Johnson ofShreveport, Louisiana, "wasdrowsy or for some other inex-plicable reason" and struck thevehicles "at highway speed."What's more, they allege

that the truck was equippedwith a Collision AvoidanceSystem, which is designed towarn drivers as they approachobjects in the highway ...Regardless of what the

State Patrol determines andlawyers allege, there's no ques-tion that the federal govern-ment is deeply concernedabout truck safety, especiallydrivers who are fatigued.On Feb. 17, Journal of

Commerce senior editorWilliam Cassidy wrote that theFederal Motor Carrier SafetyAdministration is pursuingplans to study whether theway truckers are paid leads tounsafe driving habits, rule-breaking and deadly crashes.It's an important study. It's

one that could open the door tofederal regulations that deter-mine how drivers are paid, ifnot how much. And, more sig-nificantly, it could lead to saferhighways.Most interstate truck dri-

vers in the U.S. are paid by themile, Cassidy wrote. Some

safety advocates argue thatcompensation model encour-ages drivers to violate federalhours of service rules, whichlimit driving time, and workwhile fatigued in order to rackup miles and earn more pay.The federal agency plans to

survey managers at more than2,000 trucking companiesusing an online questionnaire.But truckers won't be included— an obvious gap that shouldbe filled, as long as respon-dents know that they won't bepunished for giving honestanswers.Cassidy wrote that regula-

tors in the U.S. aren't the onlyones interested how truck dri-ver pay — both the methodand the amount — may affecttruck safety. In Australia, theRoad Safety RemunerationTribunal, a regulatory bodycreated in 2012, is pursuing abroad review of truck driverpay in several industries,including long-haul trucking,waste hauling and portdrayage ...Australia already is much

farther down the road than theUnited States. Their govern-ment agency has the authorityto issue orders that set termsfor driver pay and even levelsof compensation. Last year, itimposed an order that requirestrucking companies to payowner-operators within 30days.The tribunal drew a direct

connection between late pay-

ments, fatigue and safety.Some of the steps taken by

Australia, including requiringtruck drivers be paid for non-driving, on-duty work time,have been considered by theObama administration,Cassidy wrote. The WhiteHouse included languagerequiring drivers to be paid atleast minimum wage for non-driving work hours in the"GROW America" infrastruc-ture spending bill it sent toCongress.Some U.S. trucking indus-

try executives have been argu-ing that the industry needs toraise driver pay substantiallyand improve working condi-tions before the federal govern-ment decides to step in,Cassidy wrote. One of thoseworked for U.S. XpressEnterprises — one of the com-panies being sued in the I-16crash. The company raised itsdriver pay by 13 percent in2014, he wrote."The fact that they might

start telling me how much Ihave to pay my drivers is pret-ty scary," U.S. Xpress chiefmarketing director JohnWhitesaid at a NASSTRAC LogisticsConference in 2012. "That'svery concerning to me."But more concerning are

tired truckers who need rest.They shouldn't be on the road.Let's hope this study leads theway to safer highways.

Guest editorial

Editorial Roundup...

By MYRA BLACKMONI almost choked on my cof-

fee when I read the AthensBanner-Herald’s account ofstate Sen. Frank Ginn’sremarks on public educationat a recent Athens-ClarkeCounty Republican Partymeeting.“Ginn was far more blunt

in his assessment,” thepaper’s account reads, “con-tending Monday that ‘primar-ily, those failing schools are inDemocratically controlledareas.’ He went on to say,though, that he, personally,would have a difficult timedeclaring Gaines Elementarya failing school, and suggestedthe problem for failing schoolsisn’t necessarily the schoolsthemselves, but ‘the break-down of the family.’”I sent Ginn — with whom I

have always enjoyed a cordialrelationship — this email: “Iwas surprised and distressedat your comments that failingschools are somehow concen-trated in Democratically-con-trolled areas and the result ofpoor family values. Can youexplain to me what you werethinking when you madethose remarks? And what youwanted your audience to takeaway from them?”He called and left a mes-

sage inviting me to look at thelist and see where the so-called failing schools arelocated. I don’t doubt theaccuracy of the assertion. It issimply a non sequitur.When we talked later, I

asked him if people in thecommunities with targetedschools start to voteRepublican, will their schoolsimprove? No, he said. Or didhe mean that since the areasvoted Democratic, we don’tneed to bother with them? Ofcourse not, he said.He explained that he was

saying the OpportunitySchool District legislationcould not have passed withoutsome Democratic votes, citingSen. Freddie Powell Sims, D-Albany. He characterized theeffort as trying to save thosekids who live with instabilityand poverty.I mentioned that

Republicans control educationpolicy and state educationallocations — on averageabout half the revenues forschool districts, so how is itthat local Democrats cansomehow cause schools to bebad?Ginn backpedaled, and

talked again about familyinstability, the number of chil-dren in or needing foster careand the issue of single-parenthomes.“We have to do something

for these children and wedon’t know if this [TheOpportunity School District]

will work, but we just have totry something different,” hesaid.I believe Ginn is a decent

man who wants good publicschools. But he is a classicexample of politicians on bothsides of the aisle who don’tlook at the long-term implica-tions. Independent profession-al research says statetakeovers of schools improvefinance and administration,but not academic perfor-mance.I asked him how taking

over their schools is going tohelp struggling families. I toldhim I thought if the problemis families — and I believethat’s where the roots of ourproblems with school perfor-mance lie — we ought to bedoing things to help families.One problem of many

working poor families is poorhealth and the risk of losingpay, or even a job, for takingsick time. Would you be will-ing to expand Medicaid toimprove health care for thesestruggling families? No, hesaid.Two adults working low-

wage jobs, in retail, for exam-ple, can’t support a family.Their stress and lack ofresources has a major impacton children’s ability to learn.Would you be willing to raisethe minimum wage so thosewilling to work can support afamily? No, he said.Many of these children in

so-called failing schools start-ed off way behind their moreaffluent peers. Why can’t weoffer day care and fund moreextensive pre-schools? Wouldyou support those efforts?Silence.If the schools are failing

because their families are fail-ing, that usually means theparents are struggling with amultitude of problems, don’thave enough money to livedecently and can’t provideeducational enrichment athome. So we’re going to takeover their schools and havethem run by someone in theGovernor’s office?We’ve got to do something

different, Ginn told me, whichI said was like my car beingbroken down and him tellingme he’ll send the governmentin to fix someone else’s truck.Taking over schools is

cheaper than addressing sys-temic poverty. It makes head-lines, but doesn’t address thereal problem. You don’t curelow income by giving peoplecash. And you don’t cure lowacademic achievement with astate takeover of schools. Whyis that so hard to understand?—Myra Blackmon, a local

Banner-Herald columnist,works as a freelance writer,consultant and instructionaldesigner.

Serving You

Regarding people on theright looking paranoid aboutbeing attacked: Any sane per-son knows we must preventany attack onAmerica. And allpotential enemies must bewatched carefully before theyget here.

How could I sit in an au-dience, struggling to makeends meet at $7.25 or $8.25 anhour, and listen to a Republi-can politician tell me that I’mbetter off like that, becausehe’s against the minimumwage increase? He must be amagician to get my vote.

The current East Lau-rens Middle School wasbuilt in 1956 because I attend-ed school there from third totwelfth grades. The school thatwas built in 1970 is the currentEast Laurens Elementary. Istarted teaching in 1969 andwe had to wait for that build-ing to be completed to movethe overflow crowd (from an-other building) to the new ELElementary School which isnow EL Middle School.

We have spent billionsand billions of dollars train-ing an Iraqi army that dropstheir weapons and runs likecowards. We can’t be the policefor Iraq if they won’t police

themselves. This is just a com-plete mess.

To the person who does-n’t care about anything inthe Middle East, you need tofind out something about theLord and accept Jesus Christas your saviour. There areChristians andAmericans whohave been murdered overthere. I care about the MiddleEast and I care about thesepeople.

Vote Republican andhelp save the Democrats fromthemselves.

East Laurens is stillcrammed in one little cornerof the county. I think we needtwo represntatives from theeastside and the westside ofthe river and one alternatewho could come from eitherside of the river. That waymaybe we’ll get a fair and de-cent chance of getting thesame quality schools that thewestside gets.

My hat is off to SouthwestLaurens Elementary SchoolPrincipal Kelland Waldrep. Heis the bomb.

President Obama’s aimis to destroy this country be-fore he leaves office.

I wish a Ford and aChevywould last 10 years likethey should. Are the goodtimes really over for good?

If the Doctor is going totake the solar panels withhim to Alabama -- how abouttaking that huge pile of junkon the other side of DublinHigh?

Twelve missing afterTexas flood sweepsaway vacation home

WIMBERLEY, Texas (AP)— Recovery teams were re-suming the search early Tues-day for 12 members of twofamilies who are missing af-ter a rain-swollen river inCentral Texas carried a vaca-tion home off its foundation,slamming it into a bridgedownstream.

The hunt for the missingpicked up after a holidayweekend of terrible stormsthat dumped record rainfallon the Plains and Midwest,caused major flooding andspawned tornadoes and killedat least eight people in Okla-homa and Texas.

More than 1,000 homeshave been damaged or de-stroyed in Texas, and thou-sands of residents are dis-placed.

Authorities were alsosearching for victims and as-sessing damage just acrossthe Texas-Mexico border inCiudad Acuna, where a torna-do Monday killed 13 peopleand left at least five unac-counted for.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott de-clared disasters in 37 coun-ties, allowing for further mo-bilization of state resources toassist.

"You cannot candy coat it.It's absolutely massive," Ab-bott said after touring the de-struction.

The worst flooding damagewas in Wimberley, where thevacation home was sweptaway, a popular tourist townalong the Blanco River in thecorridor between Austin andSan Antonio.

Trey Hatt, a spokesman forthe Hays County EmergencyOperations Center, said Mon-day night that the "searchcomponent" of the missionwas over, meaning no moresurvivors were expected to befound in the flood debris.

Witnesses reported seeingthe swollen river push thehome off its foundation andsmash it into a bridge. Onlypieces of the home have beenfound, Hays County JudgeBert Cobb said.

One person who was res-cued from the home toldworkers that the other 12 in-side were all connected to twofamilies, Cobb said. Youngchildren were among thosebelieved to be missing.

The Blanco crested above40 feet — more than triple itsflood stage of 13 feet. The riv-er swamped Interstate 35 andforced parts of the busynorth-south highway to close.Rescuers used pontoon boatsand a helicopter to pull peo-ple out.

Hundreds of trees alongthe Blanco were uprooted orsnapped, and they collectedin piles of debris up to 20 feethigh.

Flooding wreaked havoclate Monday afternoon inAustin, where emergencycrews responded to more than20 high-water rescues, andlater in Houston, where theNational Weather Service de-clared a flash flood emer-gency and an announcer atthe Houston Rockets gameasked fans not to leave be-cause of severe weather.

Harris County Flood Dis-trict, which includes Hous-ton, advised residents notleave their homes early Tues-day after the weather serviceissued a flash flood warningfor parts of the county.

Before the sun rose Tues-day, emergency crews usedhelicopters and boats to helpresidents evacuate theirflooded homes in Webberville,some 15 miles east of Austin.

The storm system alsoprompted reports of torna-does across the state and wasblamed for four deaths: a manwhose body was pulled fromthe Blanco; a 14-year-old whowas found with his dog in astorm drain; a high school se-nior who died Saturday afterher car was caught in highwater; and a man whose mo-bile home was destroyed by areported tornado.

The Oklahoma Depart-ment of Emergency Manage-ment also reported four fatal-ities between Saturday andMonday across the state,which also saw severe flood-ing and reported tornadoes.

In Ciudad Acuna, MayorEvaristo Perez Rivera said300 people were treated at lo-cal hospitals after the twister,and up to 200 homes hadbeen completely destroyed.

The government was talk-ing with families whosehomes had been damaged todetermine how much assis-tance would be needed to re-

build the city of 125,000across from Del Rio, Texas.

"We have never registeredin the more than 100 years inthe history of this city a tor-nado," he said.

By midday, 13 people wereconfirmed dead — 10 adultsand three infants. At leastfive people were unaccountedfor.

The twister hit a seven-block area, which VictorZamora, interior secretary ofthe northern state ofCoahuila, described as "dev-astated."

"There's nothing standing,not walls, not roofs," saidEdgar Gonzalez, a spokesmanfor the city government, de-scribing some of the de-stroyed homes in a 3-squarekilometer (1 square mile)stretch.

Mexican President En-rique Pena Nieto was expect-ed to travel to Acuna with of-ficials from government agen-cies.

Gonzalez said late Mondaynight that rescuers were look-ing for four members of afamily who were believedmissing, adding that therewere still areas of rubble thatremained to be searched.

Zamora said rescuers weresearching for an infant whowas missing after the tornadoripped the baby carrier thechild was in from its mother'shands.

Luis Antonio Hernandez,37, looked in disbelief Mon-day at what remained of hishouse. Three vehicles hadsmashed through the back,leaving a heap of twisted met-al and the smell of gasoline.

Hernandez and his threechildren had hidden in abathroom as the tornado sentthe cars passing over them."It's a miracle that we'realive," he said.

Residents retraced the tor-nado's path in trucks, hopingto salvage their mattresses,furniture and other belong-ings. But there was little leftintact.

Antonio Sanchez's homewas now nothing more thanan open shell strewn withrubble.

"We lost everything," hesaid. "But at least I didn'tlose my family."

County Memorial Day Pro-gram. After being introducedby Maryalice Morro, MedicalCenter Director, Kauzlarichthanked the veterans for theirservice.“You are surrounded by vet-

erans as well as those whomay not have served but sup-ported us,” Kauzlarich said.He thanked Meta Phillips

Monteleon for serving as anurse during World War II,and Lester Porter who servedin World War II. Both weresitting in their wheelchairs onthe front row.“What national treasurers

we have here,” Kauzlarichsaid. “Thank you for takingthe time today to share in thisoccasion. Memorial Daymeans so much to so many.”Kauzlarich said there have

been more than 1.8 millionmen and women who havedied for this nation.“There are people in this

room who know some of those1.8 million men and women,”Kauzlarich said. “MemorialDay is the one day each yearto remember those who havefallen. Today, I’m going toshare my story with you. ”Kauzlarich spent 14

months in Baghdad, Iraq. Onnine different occasions, Kau-zlarich stood before his sol-diers to remember soldiers helost. He also sat through 76other memorial ceremonieswhile in Iraq for other battal-ions.“As a battalion commander,

one does not think they are go-ing to go to combat and losesoldiers,” Kauzlarich said. “Itrained my battalion andknew every single one ofthem.”On April 6, 2007, which

was Good Friday, Kauzlarichheard a big explosion. Notlong after that, Kauzlarich’sexecutive officer informed himthat a vehicle had been hit byan explosively formed pene-

trator and he was needed inthe operation center.When he got there, Kau-

zlarich was told that Jay Caji-mat had been killed. He wasthe first man killed in his bat-talion.“I thought I had let my bat-

talion down,” Kauzlarich said.“I told them that we would allgo home together. At hismemorial ceremony, I stood infront of my battalion andtalked about courage, selflessservice and sacrifice.”That was a hard day, Kau-

zlarich said. On June 6, 2007,Shawn Gajdos, the companyclerk, was killed 20 minutesafter getting into a turret be-cause one of the men was sick.“When his buddy was

down, he stepped up for him,”Kauzlarich said.Cameron Payne, Andre

Craig Jr. and William Crow,Jr. all died later in the monthof June. Crow was serving inhis third deployment. JamesHarrelson died after a rocketexploded underneath his vehi-cle.On Sept. 4, 2007 Kau-

zlarich saw the first vehicle ina convoy get hit by an explo-

sively formed penetrator. Allfive of the soldiers were eitherkilled or wounded. Joel Mur-ray, David Lane and RandonShelton died immediately.A few weeks later on Sept.

22, 2007 Joshua Reeves, whois from Watkinsville, celebrat-ed the birth of his son abouttwo hours before going out ona mission.“Six hours later he was

dead,” Kauzlarich said. “Thatjust tore the heart out of ourbattalion, but we continued todo our mission.”A week later, James Doster

was killed the same wayReeves was. Then the fightingstopped for a while.“We thought we were done

sacrificing,” Kauzlarich said.Duncan Crookston, who

was one of the soldiers in theconvoy who was wounded onSept. 4, ended up at BrooksArmy Medical Center in SanAntonio, Texas. He had lostboth of his legs, his right arm,half of his left arm and wasburned badly.“I went home after Christ-

mas on leave and went to seeDuncan,” Kauzlarich said. “Ipresented him with the PurpleHeart and Combat Infantry-man’s Badge. A tear rolleddown his cheek. I told himthat his sole mission in his lifewas to get better. I thought hewas going to be all right andhis young wife, who was only17 years old, was with him thewhole time. What an incredi-ble family.”When Kauzlarich returned

to Iraq, he received an emailthat Crookston had passedaway on Feb. 25, 2008.With only seven days to go,

fighting broke out in theneighborhood where Kau-zlarich’s battalion was.“The previous February we

had 42 enemy contacts,” hesaid. “In our last week we had93 enemy contacts.”With two days left Patrick

Miller and Durrell Bennettwere killed.“When you look around the

room, you guys know what itmeans by courage, selfless ser-vice and sacrifice,” Kauzlarichsaid. “You joined up anddemonstrated those verytraits. On Memorial Day, wepay homage to those that paidwith their lives. They did notgive their lives for their coun-try. Their lives was taken from

them for their country. Theyknew the risk and they proud-ly did it."You, the veterans who sit

amongst us today, share thevery same things as my 14 sol-diers," he added. "Seven ofthem were married and four ofthem had children. Sitting ina group like this to payhomage to what they’ve doneis an incredible thing. We arespecial people. We understandcourage, which is standing inface of adversity. We knowwhat selfless service is, whichis putting others before youand protecting those you don’tknow. And sacrifice is to con-tinuously give to others. Thefamilies sacrifice happiness.Mothers, fathers and spousessacrifice happiness. We as apeople in America, have tocontinue to demonstratecourage, selfless service andsacrifice.”Kauzlarich ended by telling

the audience that the youngergeneration needs to knowwhat veterans are.“I challenge you to go to the

schools and read to the kids,”Kauzlarich said. “Continue toserve. It will make Dublin bet-ter and Georgia better. Thankyou for your time today. Pleasedo not forget my soldiers andyour service men and women.And do not forget our nation’s1.8 million that have served,fought and paid the ultimatesacrifice.”Dean Swan, Chief of Volun-

tary Services at the VA, talkedabout Memorial Day prior tothe program.

“For me, this gives us achance to pause and remem-ber those we’ve lost and to re-member the families who havealso sacrificed in the loss of alove one. We have MemorialDay, not to kick off the sum-mer, but to say that we re-member those who haveserved and we honor them.”Johnny Payne, master of

ceremonies and a VietnamVeteran in the Army, saidMemorial Day brings sorrowand heartache.“Over the last several

years, to see these heroes, itgives us so much pride to knowthat these men and womenwho gave their lives didn’t doit in vain. They did it so thatthese people can carry on. Itmeans a lot to me.”Payne’s father was a World

War II veteran.“My daddy was awarded

three bronze stars and themedal of Victory in World WarII,” he said. “Winning war isstill an American tradition.Those mean a lot to me.”The Carl Vinson VA Police

Department presented theflags and Brandon Mclean,from East Laurens HighSchool played ‘Taps.’ Brad andTiffany Lofton sang the Na-tional Anthem before HarriettClaxton led the audience inthe Pledge of Allegiance andthe American’s Creed.VA Chaplain Samuel

Scaggs led everyone in prayer.“We remember today all of

those who have come before usand have given the greatestgift to our nation,” Scaggs

said. “Their duty and theirhonor are precious gifts thatmust be given to the future ofour country and families. SoGod, we honor that service andsacrifice today. Today we standto honor those amongst us andcontinue to carry the burden oftheir sacrifice, lest we losesight of what true freedom is.”Dee Eastridge sang a song

before Payne recognizedguests. Jeff Brazell and TracieMorgan sang a song and werelater joined by the Loftons tosing two more selections.Toward the end of the pro-

gram, MSG Roderick McNeilpresented a memorial wreathwhile Mclean played ‘AmazingGrace.’Payne said it’s important to

remember our soldiers cur-rently in harm’s way.“We’ve got them out there

today, and hopefully none ofthem will be killed today,”Payne said. “They are outthere and that is what makesthis country what it is.”Before and after the event,

people were given a chance tosee a display of World War I,World War II and Vietnam col-lection, which belongs to Lau-rens County Board of Commis-sioner Buddy Adams. Adamssaid he has over 400 itemsthat he annually brings to theVA to be displayed duringthese types of programs.“I do it every Memorial Day

and Veterans Day,” Adamssaid. “I got here at 10 a.m. thismorning to start working onthis. It’s special to be showingthis on Memorial Day.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nick Masset hadn'tallowed an earned run in his previous six gamesthis month. Then came the eighth inning againstthe Los Angeles Dodgers.

He allowed four runs on three homers, and theAtlanta Braves lost 6-3 Monday night, ending theirtwo-game winning streak in the opener of a 10-game West Coast trip.

"It was definitely an embarrassment. I feel like Ilet the team down," Masset said. "I blew the leadand gave us a big fat 'L.'""I've had some good battles with these guys beforebut they put the big swing on it. Sometimes that'sthe way it goes."

Masset has a 10.71 ERA in 21 career appear-ances against the Dodgers.

Andre Ethier, Alex Guerrero and Jimmy Rollinseach homered in the eighth to help the Dodgers wintheir fourth straight at home against the Bravesand their seventh in eight games against Atlantasince the start of the 2014 season.

Williams Perez allowed one run and seven hitsin six innings of his second major league start forthe Braves. He struck out seven and walked one.

"I thought I mixed my pitches well," he saidthrough a translator. "I wasn't nervous at the start.I was too excited but I came back and made pitchesand got outs."

Ethier got things started, homering to snap a 2-all tie against Masset (0-1). Ethier's bases-loadedwalk in the first drove in the Dodgers' initial run.

Pinch-hitter Guerrero sent a 3-1 pitch into theleft-field pavilion, scoring A.J. Ellis, who walked, tomake it 5-2. With two outs, Rollins homered for a 6-2 lead.

It was the Dodgers' most runs scored since get-ting six on May 15 against Colorado. They lead themajors with 60 homers.

Adam Liberatore (1-0) got the victory, tossing11 pitches. Kenley Jansen got three outs in theninth for his fourth save.Los Angeles tied it at 2-all in the seventh on AdrianGonzalez's bases-loaded groundout to the pitcher.

Atlanta took a 2-1 lead in the fifth on FreddieFreeman's RBI single after tying the score 1-all inthe fourth on Pedro Ciriaco's RBI single with twoouts.

The Dodgers had a chance to extend their lead inthe third, but Scott Van Slyke grounded into a dou-ble play with the bases loaded to end the inning.

Dodgers starter Brett Anderson gave up tworuns and seven hits in seven innings. The left-han-der struck out three and walked two.

TRAINER'S ROOMBraves: INF Alberto Callaspo was scratched

before the game and replaced by Ciriaco. ... INFChris Johnson, recovering from a broken left hand,will play three minor league games before possiblyre-joining the team on Thursday in San Francisco.

Dodgers: C Yasmani Grandal, on the seven-dayconcussion disabled list, will do drill work and bethe designated hitter but won't catch during aminor league rehab stint lasting two or threegames.

UP NEXTBraves: Julio Teheran (4-1, 3.91 ERA) starts the

middle game of the series. He has yet to beat theDodgers in two career starts against them.

Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw (2-3, 4.32) alreadyhas as many losses as he did all of last season.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — LeBron Jameshurts everywhere, the King of Pain.

One win from taking the Cavaliers back to theNBA Finals, and one step closer to a title he covetsmore than any other, James leaned against apadded wall on Monday and hardly resembledbasketball's most undeniable force.

"I'm feeling all right," he said, forcing a smilethat showed he wasn't being entirely truthful. "I'vebeen better, but I've been worse. I think I've beenworse."

James moved slowly and not with his usualgrace one day after his brilliant performance inGame 3 lifted Cleveland to a 114-111 win over theAtlanta Hawks in overtime, moving the Cavs with-in a victory of their first Finals appearance since2007.

James wore a sleeve on his right calf, which

cramped so severely he asked to be taken outSunday night before re-considering. Instead, hepushed through the pain and delivered 37 points,18 rebounds and 13 assists — all after an 0-for-10shooting start — to help the Cavs take a 3-0 serieslead.

He's battered, not beaten. James isn't going tolet anything stop him. Not now. Not this close tohis fifth straight Finals or a championship.

"When you want to win, you've got to sacrificeyour body feeling good," he said. "That's just whatit's about."

With a win on Tuesday night, the Cavs canclinch the Eastern Conference title and get somerest before a Finals matchup presumably againstGolden State, which leads Houston 3-0 headinginto Monday's Game 4. James has been down thispath before, but never one so bumpy.

Cleveland's season has been strewn with obsta-cles: extreme expectations, chemistry issues,trades and injuries, including ones in the postsea-son to forward Kevin Love and All-Star pointguard Kyrie Irving, who has missed the past twogames with an injured left knee. James hasnever been on a team that's had to surmount asmuch.

Before the season began, James predicted this— molding a new team into a title contender —would be the greatest challenge of his career.

"I felt it would be, and it is," he said.The Cavs need one more win over the rising

Hawks, who showed resiliency in Game 3 by over-coming a 10-point deficit in the fourth when theyappeared done. One play here, one there andAtlanta wouldn't be in a 3-0 hole that no team inleague history has been able to climb from.

Despite overwhelming odds, the Hawks won'tquit.

"No matter what happens, we're still going tobe confident," forward Paul Millsap said. "Webelieve in our team. We believe in the guys that wehave. We feel like we can do something special,whether this year, next year, whatever. We'regoing to stick to this. It's not over 'til it's over."

For James, the only ending he can envision iswinning his third title and ending Cleveland's 51-year championship drought.

"It's been my goal since I got back here, not onlyto get back, but to win, win the whole thing," hesaid. "That's my goal. It's part of my drive. That'swhat it's about."There are some other subplots heading into Game

Hamilton has played in twoWorld Series, appeared in fiveAll-Star Games and won a MostValuable Player Award.

Yet he still had to fight offnerves in his return to the majorsMonday.

"It was good to get the first at-bat out of the way, I was a littlenervous up there," Hamilton saidafter the Rangers sixth straightwin, a 10-8 victory over theCleveland Indians. "It was justgood to be out there. It was goodto feel the energy in the dugout."

Hamilton, slowed this seasonby shoulder surgery, was 0 for 3with two strikeouts and a walkand scored a run. He also reachedon a key error in the seventhinning that led to the winning run.

The 2010 AL MVP came upwith runners on first and secondand two outs in the seventhinning with the score 8-all. He hitan easy tapper back to pitcherZach McAllister, whose throwwas well over the head of firstbaseman Carlos Santana for aerror. Prince Fielder scored.

Hamilton was traded from theAngels back to Texas in late April.He finished a minor league rehabassignment on Saturday.Hamilton batted fifth and startedMonday's game in left field.

HOUSTON (AP) — WhenGolden State's Stephen Currycrashed into Trevor Ariza'sshoulder, was upended and sentflying toward the court onMonday night against Houston, itfelt like forever before he landed.

"That was the worst (fallever) because you're in the airfor a long time," Curry said. "Andnot knowing how you're goingto hit the floor, knowing that it'sgoing to happen, it's inevitable,but you're up there just trying tobrace yourself."

The MVP was able to returnto Game 4 of the WesternConference finals after the spillbut the Warriors couldn't over-come a big deficit, as JamesHarden scored 45 points in theRockets' 128-115 victory.

Curry said he went throughthe concussion protocol beforereturning.

"It was all minor stuff com-pared to how it looked," Currysaid. "But I'll get some good rest(Monday night) and be ready togo ... since it happened to now,nothing has gotten worse."

The collision came whenCurry jumped in the air as Arizawas about to go up for a shotmidway through the secondquarter. Ariza saw him andstopped abruptly, causing thespill.

Curry's head hit the court andit propelled him up and backonto the floor, where heremained for several minutes.

Curry looked dazed as he wasattended to before slowly get-ting up and walking off thecourt.

"In the seconds afterward,it's just a scary feeling, hearingall those voices saying: 'Takeyour time,'" Curry said. "You justwant to gather yourself, regroupand trust the process."

It wasn't only frightening forhim. His coaches and teammateswere all worried when they saw

the hard fall."It was not a great feeling,"

Andrew Bogut said. "He's ourbest player and to see him take afall like that, it's a scary feeling."

Curry missed the remainderof the half with what theWarriors called a contusion, butafter undergoing a series of testshe returned to the game midwaythrough the third quarter.

Klay Thompson had 24 pointsand Curry added 23 for GoldenState, which moved a win awayfrom its first trip to the NBAFinals since 1975 after routingHouston 115-80 on Saturdaynight to take a 3-0 lead in theseries.

But the Warriors couldn't putthe Rockets away and will tryagain at home in Game 5 onWednesday night.

Houston bounced back from a3-1 deficit to the Clippers in theconference semifinals. But theyface a much bigger challenge inthis series, as no team in NBA

history has won a playoff seriesafter trailing 3-0.

Dwight Howard had 14 pointsand 12 rebounds, and received aflagrant 1 foul early in the thirdquarter after throwing an elbowat Andrew Bogut's head. Hewould be suspended by accumu-lation of flagrant foul points ifthe NBA upgrades it to a flagrant2 after review.

The Warriors made 20 3-pointers and Houston had 17 toset an NBA record for most 3-pointers combined in a playoffgame.

Houston led by 23 after oneand a basket by Howard to startthe second made it 47-22.

Four quick points byThompson got Golden Statewithin 55-36 when Curry wasinjured. He was called for a foulon the play and Ariza made bothshots to extend Houston's lead to57-36 with about six minutesuntil halftime.

Thompson picked up the

slack with Curry out, hitting four3-pointers in a 23-9 run that getthe Warriors within 66-59 withabout 30 seconds left in the firsthalf. But Terry hit a 3 as the shotclock expired to put Houston up69-59 at halftime.

The Rockets led by nine whenCurry re-entered the game mid-way through the third quarter.He shot an airball on his firstattempt after returning and hissecond try was blocked byTerrence Jones.

"It took me a couple minutesjust to get back in the rhythm ofthe game," Curry said.

The Rockets jumped out to a12-0 lead thanks to eight pointsby Josh Smith and five straightmissed shots by the Warriors tostart the game. Smith's hotshooting continued throughoutthe quarter and he made all fiveshots, including three 3-pointers,he attempted in the period.

The Rockets made 17 of 22shots overall in the quarter andwere an astounding 8 of 9 from3-point range to lead 45-22entering the second. Houston's45 points tied a franchise recordfor points in a quarter in theplayoffs that had stood since1980.

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAYFans were advised to remain intheir seats and not to leave thearena immediately after thegame because of severe thunder-storms and flash floods in thearea. The players were asked notto leave either. When someone'sphone beeped loudly with a flashflood warning during Howard'spostgame press conference heshook his head and said, "It's badoutside."

TIP-INSThe Warriors’ Shaun

Livingston started the secondhalf in place of Curry and fin-ished with four points.

Draymond Green had 21points before fouling out.

4:IRVING UPDATEWhile his teammates got

treatment and relaxed after adraining game, Irving wentthrough another vigorous work-out as Cleveland's coaching staffand medical team kept a closeeye on him.

Cavs coach David Blatt saidIrving remains a game-time deci-sion for Tuesday and the team'slead in the series has no bearingon whether he'll play.

"We need Kyrie on the court,and we're not really thinkingabout resting him as much aswe're thinking about him beinghealthy to play basketball," Blattsaid. "We need him on the court,whether we're up 1-0 or 2-1 or 3-0."

SILENT TREATMENTAfter making strong infer-

ences that they felt Cavs guardMatthew Dellavedova playsdirty, the Hawks were quietabout the subject.

The scrappy Dellavedova gotinvolved in a loose-ball scramblethat ended with Atlanta forwardAl Horford hitting him with anelbow and being ejected.Following Game 3, Horford saidDellavedova has "gotta learn" toplay with more restraint.

Earlier in the series,Dellavedova injured Kyle Korverwhen he dived on the floor androlled up on the Atlanta guard'sankle. Korver is out for the restof the playoffs.

Hawks coach MikeBudenholzer was careful with hiswords about Horford's ejection.

"The officials in our league

have a difficult job," he said. "Weobviously see it a little different-ly. But that's part of the gameand part of those difficult situa-tions. We're moving forward."

KING'S ENDORSEMENTForward Tristan Thompson's

value to the Cavs grows daily.With Love out, he's playing moreand the four-year veteran, whowill be a free agent this summer,has been almost unstoppable onthe boards.

"Tristan should probably be aCavalier for his whole career,"James said. "There's no reasonwhy he shouldn't. This guy is 24years old. He's played in 340-plus straight games, and he'sgotten better every single sea-son. It's almost like what morecan you ask out of a guy eventhough we ask for more out ofhim?"
