Summer is just around the corner, and Tidbits is taking the opportunity to bring you up to date on a few of June’s facts and historical events. • June is most likely named after the mythological Roman

goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter. Juno was the goddess of marriage, which explains why it is considered good luck to get married in June.

• The solstice occurs between June 20 and 22. In thenorthern hemisphere, it’s the summer solstice, while to those living in the southern hemisphere, it’s the winter solstice. At this time, the Earth is at a point in its orbit that the North Pole is leaning most toward the sun, as far north as the sun ever gets during the year. Everywhere northof the equator experiencesdays longer than12hours at the June solstice, while locations south of the equatorhavedaysshorterthan12hours.

Publisher's Corner by Sean AtheyHey everyone!!

I sure hope your week is going well. Things are busy as al-ways for Lynette and I around here, but I did want to get a few words in before we

ship this off to the press.First and foremost, thank you to ev-

eryone for picking up this week's issue and giving some of your precious time to reading it. From day one, Lynette and I wanted to make sure this was a free pa-per for people who like to read. After all, what we do is all about readership.

The Grill, The Garden & A Gun...

No, this is not a movie title about a distraught gardener fighting off an on-slaught of cute bunnies... let me ex-plain...

The GrillLast fall I went through some old stuff

out behind the garage and found my old Father's Day gift from many years ago - a gas grill.

The grill had seen better days so I proceeded to refurbish it and put it back into use, which I did. Now this particu-lar grill has a small triangle shaped hole in each side for a rotisserie attachment. I stepped out on the back deck a few days ago and popped it open to find the inside was full of little sticks. I cleared them out and went about my day, not thinking anything about it until the next day when I opened it again - the sticks were back.

Well, I had my suspicions of what was happening so I cleared it out and went into the garage and watched out the window. Within a few minutes there it was - a lit-tle brown wren... with another stick in its beak. It hopped into the little triangle hole, deposited the stick and flew off for more. As any bird watcher knows, wrens are very small birds and a "wren house" is usually on the smaller side of bird houses, with very small openings. This wren must have thought he had found the "Taj Ma Bird House". The poor thing looked like it was trying to build a wren apartment building in my grill. Now, I ap-preciate nature, but sharing my grill with a bird family just wasn't going to work. So, after debating what to do with my wife, Lynette, she remembered a small sunflow-er painted birdhouse we had gotten from a 2nd hand store. We tracked it down and set it on top of the charcoal grill which was next to the gas grill. I then left the hood open to discourage any further construc-tion. Sure enough, about twenty minutes later, I saw the wren hop into the little house with a stick in its beak. Mission ac-complished... but wait, it can't sit on the charcoal grill either. So, I moved it across the garden onto a log table next to one of my horseshoe pits. In a few minutes, here comes the little wren... looking for his home. Well, he looked at me, looked at where the bird house had just been, looked back at me, dropped the stick, and let off a series of what I can only imagine were

Corn: Summer’s Sweet Gift

Yesterday, my sister gave me half of the bag of fresh, sweet corn she’d purchased at the market. Corn is best eaten as soon as possible after har-vesting, as its sugar converts to starch. To show my thanks, I husked all of the corn. I decided I’d use my share in a variety of different ways: roasted on the cob, as creamed corn and shelled in recipes like my Zesty Chicken With Fresh Corn, Baby Spinach and Fettucine.

Corn was grown by N a t i v e A m e r i c a n s long before the arrival of C h r i s t o p h e r C o l u m b u s . Over thou-sands of years, Native Americans used special cul-tivation methods to transform maize into the domesticated plant and the wide varieties of corn that we eat today.

Sweet corn is sold by color, not vari-ety. Our colors are white, yellow and bi-color (white and yellow mixed). Sweet corn has been bred to have higher levels of natural sugars, one of the reasons it is so popular.

Sweet corn is one of the few vegeta-bles that is a good source of the kind of slowly digested carbohydrate that gives you long-lasting energy. It also is an excellent source of dietary fiber, and it contains vitamin C, along with

niacin and folate (two of the B group vitamins). It’s also a good source of potassium, and can help balance the body’s fluids if you eat salty foods.

Here are a few tips for selecting an ear of corn:

• Cobs should be fully filled, i.e. covered in corn kernels

• Kernels should be bright, plump and show no signs of wrinkling

• The leaves of the husk should be intact, fresh, green and not spotted or damaged

• Cobs should be free of disease and insects

• Sweet corn should be free of any foul odors.

Store corn in the husk in the vege-table crisper or in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Corn is best eaten within one day of purchase, which is a good excuse for eating one of summer’s sweet gifts right away!

ZESTY CHICKEN WITH PASTA AND FRESH CORN

12 ounces fettuccine (3/4 box) 3 tablespoons olive oil 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each) 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon sweet paprika 1 teaspoon ground sage 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper 4 green onions (white and green parts, roots discarded), cut into 1/4 inch pieces 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 tablespoon flour 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 cup corn kernels (from 1 to 2 ears, or frozen) 3/4 cup half-and-half cream 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (1 ounce) 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 cups baby spinach (1 1/2 ounces) 1 lemon, cut into wedges

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken on both sides with cumin, paprika, sage, 1/2 tea-spoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

3. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate, cover loosely to keep warm and set aside.

4. Meanwhile, add remaining table-spoon of oil to pan. Add green onions, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 tea-spoon each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Add flour and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and turn heat to high; stir until well-combined and liquid thickens slightly.

5. Turn heat down to low, and add the corn. Simmer until corn is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in half and half.

6. Add pasta and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the nutmeg and remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Fold in spinach. Top each serving with a chicken breast. Sprinkle with remain-ing Parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges. Serves 4.

TWO JUNE INVENTORSTwo famous inventions can trace their history to the monthofJune.Let’sexaminetheirinventorsandhowthese items came into use. • ChristopherSholeswasaprinterandnewspaperman

bytrade,editoroftheWisconsinEnquirerinGreenBay during the 1840s. He was also involvedin politics as a state senator and assemblyman, and served as a Milwaukee postmaster and a commissioner of public works.

• In1866,Sholesandafellowprinter,SamuelSoule,patented a paging and numbering device that automaticallynumberedthepagesofabook.Whenthey showed this invention to another local amateur inventor,CarlosGlidden,Gliddenwonderedifthemachine couldn’t be adapted to produce words and letters in addition to the numbers. Although another inventor had come up with a typewriter around that time,itwasverydifficultandcomplicatedtouse.Sholes,Soule,andGliddenweregrantedapatentfortheir“type-writer”in1868,andthisinventionwas the first typewriter to become commerciallysuccessful.

• Theteamcontinuedtomakeimprovementstotheirmachine, with Sholes developing the common keyboard layout still in use today, theQWERTYkeyboard. He ordered the letters in this manner so that typists would experience less typewriter jams. Sholes also developed the shift key for upper case letters, his final improvement before he sold thecopyright to the Remington Arms Company for$12,000.

• In June of 1890, theU.S. CensusBureau startedusing an automatic tabulating machine to count census returns. Itwas the brainstorm of a youngengineer named Herman Hollerith whose inventions were the foundation of our modern information processing.

• Ten years prior, as a recent college graduate, Hollerithhadworkedasastatisticianonthe1880census, and realized the need for a better way to tabulate data than hand-counting. He worked on his idea for the next seven years, the same amount of timeittooktomanuallycountthe1880census.

• Hollerithusedtheideaofpunchcardsthatwouldcount based on the location of the holes on each card. After several trials with paper tape, he switchedto3”x7”(7.6x17.8cm)cards,witheachcard holding all of one person’s data, and designed a tabulator and sorter to register the results.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: There is plenty of advice out there on outdoor and indoor plants that aren’t safe for your cat or dog. What plants can they be around? -- Gerry H., Mobile, Alabama

DEAR GERRY: There are plenty of plants, fruits and vegetables that you can grow indoors and out, without worrying that your pet will get into them.

The website dogsinthegarden.com lists hun-dreds of plants and flowers that are safe for dogs, and even points out a few that are useful, such as varieties of squash and cucumber. Indoors,

Pet-Friendly Plants

pet-friendly houseplants include bamboo, cactus, cast-iron plant and ponytail palms.

So, are there plants that you want to grow but aren’t sure if they’re safe for your pets? Do your due diligence: research whether or not a specific plant is toxic to pets, what parts of it are toxic and how severe the effects can be.

Grow such plants in an area that is inacces-sible to your pet. For example, if you’re growing plants indoors, do so in a separate room such as a sunroom and place them in hard-to-reach hanging baskets. Keep long fronds or branches trimmed back. Outdoors, place the plants in an area that is away from your dog’s normal roaming area, or fence them off.

Monitor your pets anytime they may be around plants that aren’t safe. If they ingest part of the plant, watch carefully for signs of toxicity (vom-iting, drooling, lethargy or listlessness, among other symptoms). If the plants are known to be very toxic -- such as lilies, for cats -- immediately take your pet to the veterinarian without waiting for symptoms to appear.

USS South Dakota (pt. 4 of 4)A short lull followed after which radar plot showed

four enemy ships, just clear of the left tangent of Savo, approaching from the starboard bow; range 5,800 yards. Searchlights from the second ship in the enemy column illuminated SOUTH DAKOTA. WASHINGTON opened with her main battery on the leading, and larg-est, Japanese ship. SOUTH DAKOTA's secondary batteries put out the lights; and she shifted all batter-ies to bear on the third ship, believed to be a cruiser, which soon gushed smoke. SOUTH DAKOTA, which had been under fire from at least three of the ships, had taken 42 hits which caused considerable dam-age. Her radio communications failed; radar plot was

demolished; three fire control radars were damaged; there was a fire in her foremast; and she had lost track of WASHINGTON. As she was no longer re-ceiving enemy fire and there were no remaining tar-gets, she withdrew; met WASHINGTON at a prear-ranged rendezvous; and proceeded to Noumea. Of the American destroyers, only GWIN returned to port. The other three had been severely damaged early in the engagement. WALKE and PRESTON were sunk. BENHAM had part of her bow blown off by a torpedo and, while en route to Noumea with the damaged GWIN as her escort, had to be abandoned. GWIN

then sank her by gunfire. On the enemy side, hits had been scored on TAKAO and ATAGO; KIRISHIMA and destroyer AYANAMI, severely damaged by gunfire, were abandoned and scuttled.

USS PROMETHEUS (AR 3) repaired some of the damage inflicted on SOUTH DAKOTA at Noumea, enabling the battleship to sail on the 25th for Tongatabu and thence for home. SOUTH DAKOTA arrived at New York on 18 December 1942 for an overhaul and the completion of repairs to her battle damage. She was back at sea on 25 February 1943 and, following sea trials, operated with USS RANGER (CV 4) in the North Atlantic until mid-April.

The battleship next operated with the British Home Fleet, based at Scapa Flow, until 1 August when she returned to Norfolk. On 21 Au-gust, SOUTH DAKOTA stood out of Norfolk en route to Efate Island, arriving at Havannah Harbor on 14 September. She moved to Fiji on 7 November and sortied from there four days later with Battleship Divi-sions (BatDiv) 8 and 9 in support of Task Group (TG) 50.1, the Carrier Interceptor Group for Operation Galvanic, the Gilbert Islands assault. The carriers launched attacks against Jaluit and Mili atolls, Marshall Islands, on 19 November 1943, to neutralize enemy airfields there. The force then provided air support for the amphibious landings on Makin and Tarawa, Gilbert Islands.

SOUTH DAKOTA, with five other battleships, formed another task group on 6 December to bombard Nauru Island. A joint aerial attack and shore bombardment severely damaged enemy shore instal-lations and airfields there. SOUTH DAKOTA retired to Efate on 12 December 1943 for upkeep and rearming.

Her next action occurred on 29 January 1944 when the carriers launched attacks against Roi and Namur, Marshall Islands. The next day, the battleship, along with sister ship USS ALABAMA (BB 60), and the fast battleship USS NORTH CAROLINA (BB 55), moved in to shell enemy positions on Roi and Namur. SOUTH DAKOTA then rejoined the carriers as they provided air support for the amphibious landings on Kwajalein, Majuro, Roi, and Namur.

SOUTH DAKOTA departed the Marshall Islands on 12 February with the Truk striking force which launched attacks against that Japa-nese stronghold on 17 and 18 February 1944. Six days later, she was

in the screen for the carriers that launched the first air attacks against the Marianas. The force was under constant enemy air attack, and SOUTH DAKOTA splashed four Japanese planes. She returned to Majuro from 26 February until 22 March when she sailed with the fast carrier forces of the 5th Fleet. Air strikes were delivered from 30 March until 1 April against Palau, Yap, Woleai, and Ulithi in the Western Caroline Islands.

SOUTH DAKOTA returned to Majuro on 6 April 1944 and sailed the following week, again accompanying the fast carri-ers. On 21 April, strikes were launched against Hollandia, New Guinea, and the following day against Aitape, Tanahmerah, and Humboldt Bays to support the Army landings. On 29 and 30 April, the carriers, with SOUTH DAKOTA still in the screen, returned to Truk and bombed that base. The next day, the battleship was part of a surface bombardment group that shelled Ponape Island in the Carolines. She returned to Majuro for upkeep from 4 May to 5 June when she got underway with TF 58 to participate in Op-eration Forager, the landings on Saipan and Tinian. The carriers began launching attacks on the 11th against enemy installations throughout the islands. On the 13th, SOUTH DAKOTA and six other battleships were detached from the fast carrier groups to bombard Saipan and Tinian. SOUTH DAKOTA shelled the north-west coast of Tanapag Harbor, Saipan, for over six hours with both her primary and secondary batteries.

On the evening of May 15, 1944, 8 to 12 enemy fighters and bombers broke through the combat air patrol and attacked the task group. SOUTH DAKOTA fired at four and splashed one; and the remaining 11 were shot down by fire from other ships. On 19 June, the battleship was again operating with the fast carriers. It was known that a major Japanese force was approaching from the west, and the American capital ships were placed so that they could continue to support the ground forces on Saipan and also intercept this enemy force.

At 1012, a large group of bogies was reported coming in from the west. At 1049, a "Judy" dropped a 500-pound bomb on SOUTH DAKOTA's main deck where it blew a large hole, cut


• On June 10, 1752, Benjamin Franklin flies a kite during a thunderstorm and collects a charge in

a Leyden jar when the kite is struck by lightning, dem-onstrating the electrical nature of lightning. Among the terms coined by Franklin are “battery,” “conductor” and “electrician.”

• On June 8, 1896, President Grover Cleveland calls for an investigation into the number of “aliens,” or for-eign nationals, employed in the federal government. An-ti-immigrant sentiment was widespread, as immigrants were blamed for increases in crime and for driving down wages.

• On June 14, 1909, folksinger Burl Ives is born in Il-linois. Ives is best known for his voiceover work as Sam the Snowman in the animated Christmas special “Ru-dolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

• On June 11, 1949, Hank Williams makes his Grand Ole Opry de-but, electrifying a live audience at Ryman Au-ditorium that called him out for six encores. Or-ganizers implored fans not to call him out for more so the rest of the show could go on.

• On June 9, 1954, Jo-seph Welch, special counsel for the U.S. Army, lashes out at Senator Joseph McCarthy during hearings on wheth-er communism had infiltrated the U.S. armed forces. Welch’s verbal assault marked the end of McCarthy’s power during the anticommunist hysteria.

• On June 13, 1971, The New York Times begins to publish parts of a top-secret Department of Defense study of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. The “Pen-tagon Papers” indicated that the government had been ly-ing for years about the war.


Publisher's Corner ontinued from page 2

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS

some pretty rank bird-language expletives. (something like "what are you doing, you blankety-blanking home-wrecking featherless freak?!!?)

The good news is that soon after that, the wren found the birdhouse again. Mission accomplished... but wait, it was just then, I realized that the birdhouse couldn't sit on that table, it would get knocked off by a wind storm. So, I had dug up some posts this Spring to expand the garden a bit, and I dug one in close to where the birdhouse was

and secured it to the top, and, for good measure, I added a dowel perch to the post so the bird had something to land on before hopping inside.

I would like to report that new location is working out well. I see there is a pair of wrens now and they are hap-pily "tweeting" away.

The GardenWell... work and weather has slowed our gardening

down a bit so far. We have a couple things in and a few thing to get yet. We are going to try some eggplants this year for something new, plus the standard beans, car-rots, onions, tomatos, peppers, etc. Hopefully I will have more to share in upcoming issues.

A GunAnother of my hobbies is woodworking. My father

has been into black powder rifles and pistols for a long time and I wanted to get one of my own. For a couple of years, I kept an eye out and just never came across the right deal, at the right time, with the right money. So I ended up getting a .50 caliber Kentucky Long Rifle black

powder kit to build my own. This was by far one of my favorite do-it-yourself projects I have ever done. The

kit came with the barrel, trigger mechanism and some vaguely gun-shaped pieces of wood. It took quite a bit of cutting, sanding and fitting to get it right, but it did all look good in the end. I then stained, sanded, stained again and then put 8 coats of gloss finish with sanding in between each one. It is the first and only one I have built

and I think it looked great and so did everyone else... but, the ultimate point is to make a gun that is accurate. The barrel came without the sights attached, so I had to tap them in and get as close as I could before test firing and adjusting. I took the rifle down to my folks place and my dad and I set up and old weather vane about thirty

yards out. There was an arrow on one end and about a 2" X 2" square on the other. I leaned against one of the porch posts and fired... ting! It was ready to go. I have hunt-ed deer with it since then, but that story will have to wait for another Publisher's Corner.

Take care everyone... we will talk to you soon!

• Need a patch for old wood-work? Try mixing paint (whatev-er color you are using) and flour. Make a paste, fill in the holes and let dry. It’s hard like cement, and can be sanded into shape if nec-essary.

• When you get near the end of a roll of paper towels, save it to put in your car. Put together a kit with the following items: a small bottle of Windex or other cleaner, a squeeze bottle of water, some wet wipes and the short roll of paper towels. Now you’ll always be ready for a quick on-the-road cleanup.

• Use baking soda to scrub away stuck-on food on your grill. Sprinkle it on the metal brush, and scrub away. If your grate is beyond the power of fire and baking soda, remove it and lay it on the ground on some newspaper. Spray with oven cleaner and let sit (keep pets and kids away from it). Rinse with a garden hose and replace on the grill.

• “I have a plastic cup that changes color when the drink is hot. Oddly enough, it changes at the perfect temperature for my baby’s bath. So, I fill the tub and toss in the cup. When the cup starts to change back to its original color (blue), I know the bathwater is not too hot.” -- P. in Idaho

• Sprinkle baby powder in dish gloves to help them slide on in an instant.

• “To remove muffins or rolls from a pan, set it on an old, damp towel for a minute. The steam must loosen the bot-toms, because they just slide right out. I thank my mom for this tip.” -- Janey R. via e-mail

• It was back in the 19th centu-ry that American author and phi-losopher Henry David Thoreau

made the following sage observation: “Men have become the tools of their tools.”

• Clinomania is an affliction that affects a large percent-age of the American population. If you suffer from an over-whelming desire to stay in bed, you’re one of us.

• If you’re like most parents, at one time or another you’ve been shocked by how quickly your kids outgrow things -- especially shoes. What may be an annoyance in a developed country is a major problem in undeveloped areas of the world; Kenton Lee is working on changing that. As a volun-teer in an orphanage in Kenya, he noticed that many children had the toes cut out of their shoes just so they could fit in their feet. After returning home, Lee developed an adjust-able sandal that can grow with a child, increasing up to five sizes via a system of snaps. Although the shoe is only made available to nonprofits for those in need, domestic demand is increasing. If you’re a parent sick of buying seemingly end-less pairs of new shoes, you’ll be glad to hear that Lee and his team are working on a commercial version.

• You might be surprised to learn that actor David Ducho-vny, best known for his role in “The X-Files,” was just a dissertation away from being awarded a doctorate in English literature.

• In 16th- and 17th-century Europe, it was considered fashionable to attend public dissections of human bodies. So-called anatomy days often included music, speeches and processions. Viewers could even pass around body parts for inspection, though taking the parts home was forbidden.

“No, we’re not going to come get you. You’re going to have to call 911, and you’ll have to pay for that.”

That’s what an emergency-room employee at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital told an in-jured veteran who’d managed to get himself to the ER but needed assistance making it the last 10 feet into the building. He asked for someone to come out with a wheelchair.

The veteran had stepped down off a curb the wrong way, felt a snap followed by significant pain, but managed to drive himself to the hospital. With no other options after the person in the ER hung up on him, the veteran did call 911, which sent EMTs to help him that final 10 feet into the emergency room. The veteran’s biggest concern was that he’d have to pay for the 911 service, but the kind 911 operator assured him he wouldn’t.

At first, hospital personnel claimed it was policy at all hos-pitals to make sure someone is brought in by EMTs because of li-ability. Not true. Under a law called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, anyone who gets within 250 yards of a hospital for treatment has to be seen. While the VA doesn’t specifically come under that law, Section 4.d of its Emer-gency Medicine Handbook says it will follow the EMTALA for those getting to the emergency room.

After press inquiries, the hospital changed its tune and said it didn’t do right by the veteran and that someone should have gone out to get him. Then the hospital’s chief of staff apologized. Lots of apologies all around. What I really want to know is whether that emergency-room employee was fired.

Quick Asparagus CrepesFor a quick but elegant lunch, dazzle guests with these cream

sauce-topped asparagus crepes.

2 pounds asparagus1 tablespoon olive or salad oil2 tablespoons all-purpose flour1 1/2 cups milk1/4 teaspoon salt1 package (10-ounce) flour tortillas, 6- to 7-inch (about 8 tortillas)1/2 pound Muenster or Swiss cheese, thinly sliced1/2 pound cooked ham, thinly sliced

1. Hold base of each asparagus stalk firmly and bend stalk; end will break off at spot where stalk becomes too tough to eat. Discard tough ends; trim scales if stalks are gritty.

2. In 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, in hot olive or salad oil, cook flour 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk and salt; over high heat, heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; simmer 1 minute. Keep sauce warm.

3. In 12-inch skillet over high heat, in 1/2-inch boiling water, heat asparagus to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook asparagus 3 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp; drain.

4. Top a tortilla with one-eighth of cheese slices, one-eighth of ham slices, and one-eighth of asparagus spears; roll up. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, ham, and asparagus, working quickly so tortillas do not dry out.

5. Place rolls on broiler-safe platter; pour sauce over rolls. With oven rack at closest position to source of heat, broil tortilla rolls 5 minutes or until sauce is lightly browned. Discard toothpicks. Serves 4.

PICKS OF THE WEEKJupiter Ascending (PG-13) — Jupi-

ter Jones (Mila Kunis) had a ho-hum life scrubbing tiles in Chicago, until the moment she found out she was actually the Space Empress! Jupiter gets set up with Space Warrior Caine (Channing Tatum, in pointy ears) as she is launched into a full-blown space opera of wacky aliens and visually overstimulating planetary vistas. As the Space Empress reborn, Jupiter has to look out for the scheming heirs to the throne — especially the one played by a pouty Eddie Redmayne, clearly recalibrating his acting muscles after his Academy Award-winning role in “Theory of Everything.”

This latest offering from Andy and Lana Wachowski (the sibling duo who gave us “The Matrix”) has a mind-blowing array of special effects in every frame. So many that they cease to be special. It seems like they wanted to throw in every cool flourish and nifty bit of sci-fi lore they could think of, but forgot to include a plot or dialog that audiences could care about.

McFarland, USA (PG) — A hot-headed football coach loses his job and winds up teaching at a high school in McFarland, California, one of the poorest places in the country. Many of the students are from immigrant families and must work in the fields in addition to school, family responsibil-ities and the general pressures of being a teenager in a rough place. Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) sees how the boys run from one place to the next, and decides the school should have a cross-country team — a sport he’s never coached.

The movie unfolds rather the way you’d expect an uplifting Disney sports flick would, in perhaps the best way possible. Director Niko Caro does a commendable job of managing the White Savior Syndrome present in many of these kinds of movies. It’s a by-the-book underdog story, but still manages to strike a chord.

The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (PG) — The indefatiga-ble sea-sponge returns for his second feature-length film, with even more fast-paced, off-kilter misadventures. An oddly familiar pirate named Burg-er-Beard (Antonio Banderas) steals the Krabby Patty formula — the cov-eted recipe to the best burgers in Bikini Bottom. The harmless and enthusias-tic Spongebob must team up with his pals and Plankton — the closest thing he has to an enemy — to track down the formula and save the day. Live action and animation collide. The ulti-mate absurdity will delight fans and confound those who still haven’t got onboard.

Camp X-Ray (R) — As a new guard assigned to Guantanamo Bay, PFC Amy Cole (Kristen Stewart) expect-ed something different. She didn’t expect it to be such a difficult job. She also didn’t expect to form a secret friendship with one of the detainees who’d been locked up for more than eight years. She has to refer to them as detainees, because prisoners are subject to the Geneva Convention. Through small moments and steady pacing, both Cole and Ali go through transformations. Stewart is right for the role; starting as a stone-cold mask of military detachment, slowly warm-ing up with cracks of vulnerability.

wiring and piping, but inflicted no other serious material damage. However, personnel losses were heavy: 24 killed and 27 wounded. The ship continued to fight throughout the day, as air attacks were continuous. This was the first day of the Battle of the Philippine Sea and was called the "Marianas Turkey Shoot" as the Japanese lost over 300 aircraft. The air battle continued throughout the 20th. When it ended, the badly mauled Japanese fleet no longer posed a threat to the American conquest of the Marianas. The task group returned to Ulithi on 27 June, and SOUTH DAKOTA sailed via Pearl Harbor to the west coast, arriving at Puget Sound on 10 July 1944.

The battleship was overhauled at the navy yard there; and, after sea trials, sailed on 26 August for Pearl Harbor. SOUTH DAKOTA was routed to Ulithi and, upon her arrival, was attached to TG 38.3; one of four task groups of formed Task Force 38, the Fast Carrier Task Force. The task force sortied on 6 October and, four days later, launched air attacks against Okinawa. On the 12th and 13th, attacks were flown against shipping and installations in Formosa. Three of the groups, including SOUTH DAKOTA's, retired and operated east of the Philippine Islands until 24 December. During the operation, carriers of the group flew strikes against targets on Manila and Luzon to support the landings on Mindoro. From 30 December 1944 through 26 January 1945, the fast carriers alternated strikes between Formosa on 3, 4, 9, 15, and 21 January; Luzon on the 6th and 7th; Cape San Jacques and Camranh Bay on the 12th; Hong Kong and Hainan on the 16th; and against Okinawa on 22 January.

SOUTH DAKOTA operated with the fast carriers in their strikes against the Tokyo area on 17 February 1945 and against Iwo Jima on the 19th and 20th in support of amphibious landings there. Tokyo again was the target on the 25th, and Oki-nawa's turn came on 1 March. After rearming at Ulithi, the task groups sailed toward Japan again and pounded targets in the Kobe, Kure, and Kyushu areas on 18 and 19 March. They launched strikes against Okinawa on the 23rd; and, on the 24th, the battleship joined a bombardment group which shelled southeastern Okinawa. She rejoined her task group which, after bombing Okinawa, struck enemy airfields in southern Kyushu on the 29th and then, from 31 March through 3 April, again pounded targets on Okinawa. On 7 April 1945, all fast carriers launched attacks against an enemy fleet off southwest Kyushu, sinking Japan's fast super battleship YAMATO, two cruisers, and four destroyers.

SOUTH DAKOTA once more participated in shore bombardment on southeastern Okinawa on 19 April in support of an all-out offensive by the XXIV Army Corps against enemy lines.

While re-arming from USS WRANGELL (AE 12) on 6 May, a tank of 16-inch high capacity powder exploded, causing a fire and exploding four more tanks. Turret No. 2 magazines were flooded and the fires put out. The ship lost three men killed instantly; eight more died of injuries; and 24 others suffered non-fatal wounds. The ship retired to Guam from 11 to 29 May when she sailed for Leyte, arriving on 1 June.

SOUTH DAKOTA departed Leyte on 1 July, supporting the carriers of TG 38.1 which attacked the Tokyo area on the 10th. On 14 July, as part of a bombardment group, she participated in the shelling of the Kamaishi Steel Works, Kamaishi, Honshu, Japan. This was the first gunfire attack on the Japanese home islands by heavy warships. From 15 through 28 March, SOUTH DAKOTA again supported the carriers as they launched strikes against Honshu and Hokkaido. On the night of 29 and 30 July, she participated in the shore bombardment of Hamamatsu, Honshu, and, on the 9th, again shelled Kamaishi. The battleship supported the carriers in strikes against northern Honshu on 10 August 1945, and in the Tokyo area on the 13th and 15th. The latter was the last strike of the war for, later that day, Japan capitulated.

She anchored in Sagami Wan, Honshu, on 27 August and entered Tokyo Bay on the 29th. SOUTH DAKOTA steamed out of Tokyo Bay on 20 September and proceeded, via Okinawa and Pearl Harbor, to the west coast of the United States. On 29 October, she moved down the coast from San Francisco to San Pedro. She sailed from the west coast on 3 January 1946 for Philadelphia and a yard overhaul. In June, she was attached to the Atlantic Reserve Fleet.

On 31 January 1947, she was placed in reserve, out of commission. The battleship remained in that status until she was struck from the Navy list on 1 June 1962. On 25 October 1962, she was sold to Lipsett Division, Luria Bros. and Co., Inc., for scrap.

SOUTH DAKOTA received 13 battle stars for World War II service.
