District Drug Court
gets $800,000 grant
to expand local work
By ALLEN MINCEY
Banner Staff Writer
The 10th Judicial District Adult Recovery Court, known by many as
the “Drug Court,” has received a grant of nearly $800,000 from the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The grant is an expansion and enhancement grant which will be
divided equally into three years, and will allow for growth of the program
from about 40 participants to 75, in the four counties that make up the
judicial district (Bradley, Polk, McMinn and Monroe). The exact amount
of the competitive grant received is $758,604.
The Recovery Court began operations on June 28, 2004, in response
to an increase concern regarding the impact of drugs on criminal activity within the 10th Judicial District. It promotes safer communities by
assisting drug abuse/addicted nonviolent criminal offenders in becomSee DRUG, Page 8

science project was to get the hot dog to
100 degrees Celsius.

Students ‘hot dog’ in the sun
CMS eighth-graders learn power of solar
in engineering project in the parking lot
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
The Cleveland Middle School eighthgrade class of Suzanne Gregory was able
to “hot dog it” outside in the hot sun
Tuesday. The science students completed
an engineering project by competing with
their solar-powered hot dog ovens.
The project offered a sense of planning,
construction and accomplishment, with a
delicious treat at the end.
Gregory challenged her students to construct solar-powered ovens to cook hot
dogs with the sun’s energy. On the way to
achieving that goal, they were to learn
about the engineering design process.
The process is a methodical series of
steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. Parts of the
process often need to be repeated, altered
or even changed altogether.
It is a process of construction, elimination and change to meet a specific goal.
The decision-making process is basic
“Hands-on opportunities give
students a better understanding
of how things work, and for
cooking hot dogs it can be tasty,
too — unless the experiment goes
wrong. I hope the students
enjoyed this challenge and
remember it for years to come.”
— Suzanne Gregory
sciences, mathematics and engineering
sciences applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among
the fundamental elements of the design
process are the establishment of objectives
and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing and evaluation.
The objective for Gregory’s class was to
create an oven which will cook hot dogs to
100 degrees Celsius, using only the power
of the sun.

Many children in impoverished countries who

The program ended on Tuesday and donated

“Boxing Party.” Adults and teens participated in

teacher said her eighth-graders came up
with a wide assortment of designs for their
hot dog ovens. The students then journeyed through several practice sessions,
and their teacher urged then to make
changes in their designs, or even change
them completely (if needed). Several made
changes on the final day of the project.
A number of lessons were learned along
the way, and not all of them to do with
building the ovens.
Gregory also had a back-up plan for the
students to enjoy the rewards of their
experiment. She had recruited parents to
grill additional hot dogs on the side (with
charcoal).
One student, Grace Maddox, participated in the oven making, but also took time
out for a journalistic chore. She put
together a press release, providing information about the project and all the steps
the students accomplished.
She said the students were challenged

The way is now clearer for
Bradley County’s plan to make
an interfund loan from the HCI
funds that were obtained
through the sale of Bradley
Memorial Hospital.
Local attorney and former
County Commissioner Ginger
Wilson Buchanan withdrew her
motion to intervene and object to
the plan, according to a filing
Tuesday with Chancery Court.
The county had filed a motion
with the court as a way to affirm
the plan which was worked out
with and approved by the state
attorney general and state comptroller.
Buchanan objected, citing
questions as to whether the
county’s plan went against the
terms of the original hospital sale
agreement.
In discussing her grounds for
withdrawal, Buchanan said the
county’s original motion before
the court “did not state the exact
purposes for which the funds
would be used for debt service by
the county.”
She also cited the Private Act,
which was signed into law on
April 7 and amended the
hotel/motel tax, committing
those funds for industrial development.
Buchanan also notes the
county has committed to funding
the new industrial park, and “it
was believed the funding source
for this commitment ... would be

Warren B. Mitchell
Warren Buckingham Mitchell,
89, died peacefully on Thursday,
Aug. 25, 2016, after brief hospice
care.
He was born June 8, 1927, in
Bridgeport, Conn. to Arthur
Merwin Mitchell and Margretha
Anderson Mitchell, and spent his
boyhood in Stratford, Conn., and
in Washington, Conn. at Painter
Ridge, site of the family-owned
Mitchell Dairy where he, his
brother, David, and his cousin,
Ritchie, engaged in as many
antics as they could get away
with while still looking out for his
younger sister, Elizabeth.
He played football for and
graduated from the Gunnery. His
family moved to Florida for a year
and then to North Carolina where
he attended North Carolina State
University before enlisting in the
U.S. Navy.
He married Grace Herndon of
Myrtle Beach, S.C., and had
three sons. During his career he
held financial management positions
for
Mitchell
and
Cumberland Dairies in North
Carolina and for Grant-Patten
Milk, Happy Valley Dairy and
Cooke’s Furniture Company in
Tennessee. He moved his family
to Charlotte, N.C. for several
years to work in his brother’s
company,
Personal
Money
Management Inc., before returning to Tennessee and establishing his own accounting firm,
Senior Services, which he managed until the time of his death.
He became a steadfast member of First Presbyterian Church
in Cleveland where he served as
a Deacon and an Elder of the
church. He was a resident of
Cleveland for more than 50
years. During that time, he developed a very large network of
friends, colleagues, and clients.
He loved people and treasured
their company daily. He was fond
of saying, “I never met a
stranger”, which was apparent by
the number of people who, in
turn, called him their friend. He
valued family and friends above
all else and his life revolved
around it. He was dedicated to
the lives of his children and
grandchildren and was delighted
when his family gathered from
near and far for a reunion to celebrate his 80th birthday. Seeing
all the children, cousins, grandchildren,
great-grandchild,
nieces, nephews and grandnieces, he marveled at the
breadth of his family. Some years
after the death of his devoted
wife, he was blessed once more
with the love and companionship
of Betty Herndon.
He was a person of no nonsense with solid ethics, a strong
voice and a kind heart. A fiercely
determined man, he lived independently, even driving himself to
the hospital for needed surgeries
and home again afterward. He
had an offbeat sense of humor
and enjoyed teasing family members and goading them, if he
could. He was an avid bridge
player and played duplicate
bridge until the week before his
death. Speaking with his brother
and cousin about a month before
his death, he remarked about the
good life he’d had.
In addition to his wife, Grace,
he was preceded in death by his
son, William Arthur Mitchell of
Cleveland; his sister, Elizabeth
Gay Quinn of Raeford, N.C.; and
his nephew, Wesley Warren
Mitchell of Charlotte.
He is survived by his son,
James David Mitchell and wife,
Melissa, and their children:
Katlyn, Zack and Matthew of
Brentwood; his son, Eliot
Meredith Mitchell and wife,
Becky, of Spring Hill, and their
children, Branden, Danielle, and
Eliot Jr. of the Washington, D.C.
area; his granddaughter, Patricia
Mitchell Linder; great-grandchildren: Jasmine, Daisha, Demonte
and Tanyia of Athens; his brother,
David Wesley Mitchell and wife,
Jinny; his niece, Sharon Ann
Mitchell and husband, Tom
Parker; his nephew, David Tilden
Arthur Mitchell and wife,
Catherine, of Charlotte; his
niece, Mary-Lynn Mitchell of
Davidson, N.C.; his nephew,
Kipling Nash Maroney and wife,
Rosalina, of Raeford, N.C.; his
Carla C. Pemberton
Carla C. Pemberton, 32, of
Rossville, Ga., died Tuesday,

Tropical weather system
spares N.C.’s Outer Banks
RODANTHE, N.C. (AP) —
North Carolina’s Outer Banks
apparently will be spared from a
tropical system that has been
moving toward the state for
days, threatening to drench the
state with up to 5 inches of rain.
The National Weather Service
said Wednesday morning that
the tropical depression was
moving away from the state.
Highest winds were still 35
mph. The system was about 75
miles east of Cape Hatteras and
was moving to the northeast at
35 mph.
A tropical storm warning for
the North Carolina coast was
dropped Tuesday night.
Only a few clouds were
reported and winds were only
about 5 mph on the Outer
Banks Wednesday morning.
Elsewhere, a powerful hurricane threatened to pass “dangerously close” to Hawaii, and a
tropical storm warning was
issued for parts of Florida’s Gulf
Coast because of a tropical
depression in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Heavy rainfall is expected
across much of Florida as a
tropical depression looms in the
Gulf of Mexico.
In North Carolina, business
owners on Ocracoke and
Hatteras Islands said they’ve
experienced a drop in foot traffic. But by late Tuesday, many
tourists had decided to stay and
brave the impending storm.
“Well, the sun has been shining and we’ve been hearing
about this storm for two days,”
Jennifer Bange, 43, of Painted
Post, New York, said Tuesday
afternoon. She was about to
drive onto the ferry from
Hatteras Island to Ocracoke,
determined to show her two
sons the small island.
The depression was centered
about 75 miles (120 kilometers)
east-southeast of Cape Hatteras
on Wednesday morning.
Coastal Carteret County
emergency officials issued an
advisory Tuesday saying wind
problems were likely to be
“mostly minor,” but advised residents in case trees topple or
lightweight objects are blown
around.
Crowds had thinned on Outer
Banks’ beaches ahead of the
storms. On Tuesday morning, a
slow stream of dozens of cars
from places including Maryland,
New York and Ohio headed
north toward a bridge to the
mainland — but other vacationers stayed and some surfers
dove in for taller waves.
Some beaches were all but
empty. Near Rodanthe, a couple
and their 11-year-old son had
the shore to themselves for a
morning stroll. Joe and Kelley
Walker of Markham, Virginia,
said their family plans to wait
out the rain with movies or card
games.
“We’re not worried about the
storm so much unless they say
there’s something to worry
about,” Joe Walker said.
In nearby Frisco, whipped-up
waves attracted out-of-town
surfers. A break in the rain
before more showers were
expected also brought families
out at midday.
Dog swims over 6 miles to find family
BEULAH, Mich. (AP) — A dog
swam more than 6 miles and
walked a dozen more to find its
family after falling overboard into
Lake Michigan during the weekend.
Edward Casas was boating on
the lake Sunday with his wife,
Kristin, and the family dog, a 10month old Belgian Malinois
(MAL’-ehn-wah) named Rylee.
Casas tells ABC News Rylee went
overboard while he was in the
engine room trying to figure out a
mechanical problem with the
boat and his wife was steering.
Casas says he sent out a mayday call on the radio and was
connected to a volunteer group
that searches for lost dogs.
Steven Kavika, a 58-year-old
surf instructor, said he relished
the opportunity.
“I saw it coming in last week
and kind of made a prediction of
what day would be best to come
down,” said Kavika, who drove
down with a friend from Virginia
Beach, Virginia.
At the same time, a tropical
depression in the Gulf of Mexico
prompted the U.S. National
Hurricane Center to issue a
tropical storm warning and a
hurricane watch for areas of
Florida’s Gulf coast. The tropical storm warning, issued
Wednesday morning, covers an
area from Anclote River to the
Walton County-Bay County line.
Forecasters say they expect
that system to turn to the
northeast toward Florida and
become a tropical storm sometime Wednesday. That depression was about 425 miles (680
kilometers)
southwest
of
Tampa,
Florida,
early
Wednesday and was moving
north near 2 mph (4 kph).
Heavy rainfall was expected
across much of Florida. Eric
Blake of the National Hurricane
Center said Wednesday morning
that the system will likely dump
around 5 inches of rain on
areas of central and north
Florida as it approaches the
state Thursday. Some areas
could see up to 15 inches of
rain.
Lonka, of the National
Weather Service, said the storm
in the Gulf was forecast to move
across northern Florida later
this week toward the Atlantic.
But he said it’s likely to stay
south of North Carolina. Still,
he cautioned its path was difficult to predict days in advance.
At Ride The Wind Surf Shop
on Ocracoke Island, owner Bob
Chestnut said he canceled all of
his kayak tours and other
rentals for Tuesday because he
was concerned about the wind.
Foot traffic was sparse.
“The amount of day-trippers
has been pretty minimal
because I think people were
worried they’d get down here
and not be able to get back,” he
said by phone, referring to people who take a ferry to the
island on the southern stretch
of the Outer Banks.
Byron Miller, manager of The
Ocracoke Harbor Inn, said one
person canceled because of the
forecast, and business is a little
slower than usual.
Thousands of miles away,
residents of Hawaii’s Big Island
were bracing for what could be
the first Pacific hurricane to
make landfall in that state in
decades.
Forecasters said Hurricane
Madeline weakened to a
Category 1 storm Tuesday
night. The forecaster said any
shift in the storm’s forecast
track could mean it would hit
land.
Meteorologist Chevy Chevalier
said the last hurricane to make
landfall
in
Hawaii
was
Hurricane Iniki in 1992, which
hit Kauai Island.
A second Pacific hurricane
called Lester is still far from
Hawaii.

Whirlpool cXc, Lake Forest
BEST benefit each other
For more than 24 years, the
Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of
Commerce has united businesses with local schools to benefit
both “best.”
BEST, an acronym for
Business and Education Serving
Together, is a workforce development initiative of the Chamber of
Commerce that seeks through
these partnerships to enhance
the quality of life for our community and provide business support for our educational programs. The ultimate goal is reinforcement of the education
process and strengthening of the
community’s workforce.
Recently,
Whirlpool
cXc
(Customer Experience Center)
and Lake Forest Middle School
joined forces to find ways to best
benefit each other through the
Chamber’s BEST partnership
program. These “almost neighbors” work and study in close
proximity on the south side of
Bradley County.
Lake Forest, a middle school
located in southern Bradley
County, serves over 1,100 students in grades 6-8. Students
have many opportunities to be
involved at Lake Forest through
academic and service clubs, fine
arts performance groups, and a
wide range of sports. As with any
public school, however, Lake
Forest welcomes additional support.
“I am extremely excited about
having our new friends at
Whirlpool
Customer
Care
Center,”
Principal
Ritchie
Stevenson said. “I look forward to
building a strong relationship
with this Whirlpool division and
consider it a blessing to have
their support for our students.”
Caring for customers has been
a longstanding tradition within
the company. Whirlpool deeply
understood that taking care of
consumers was crucial and, as
technology allowed, created what
is known now as the first (in the
industry) modern-day “1-800”
customer service number in the
United States, launched in 1967.
“This tradition of caring for our
consumers continues to be a part
of our overall company mission,
and being available for them is a
big differentiator within the
industry,” explained Jessica
Norris, U.S. Consumer Care
Team senior supervisor. “Based
on the customer’s needs, our
goal is to offer the right solutions,
including such things as troubleshooting, scheduling service
and product registration.”
One of two customer contact
centers for Whirlpool, the
Cleveland site aligns its strategy
to a broader Global Strategy and
Two more universities furl
Confederate-themed Miss. flag
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Two
more Mississippi universities have
stopped flying the state’s flag featuring the Confederate battle
emblem, decisions that drew
rebukes from the governor.
Mississippi State University and
the Mississippi University for
Women confirmed Tuesday that
they removed the flag from outdoor
flagpoles over the summer. The
universities’ actions came after
state lawmakers failed to act on
changing the flag this year.
“The university community supports a flag that unites everyone in
the state behind it,” said Jim
Borsig, president of the Mississippi
University for Women.
Delta State University is the only
public Mississippi university still
flying the flag. A statement from
that school Tuesday opened the
door to removing it if the university
cabinet votes to do so.
Gov. Phil Bryant told reporters
Tuesday that he disagrees with the
universities’ decision to remove the
flag. He cited a state law calling for
Mississippi’s flag to “receive all of
the respect and ceremonious etiquette given the American flag” if
displayed. The law doesn’t require
public agencies to fly the flag. K-12
schools are required to, but some
ignore it.
“Whether you like the flag or not,
the state law calls for it to be treated with equal respect,” Bryant
said.
In a 2001 referendum,
Mississippi voters strongly supported keeping the flag, which has
included the Confederate battle
emblem in its upper left corner
since 1894. But agitation against
the flag resumed following the
2015 massacre of nine black worshippers at a church in
Charleston, South Carolina. The
white suspect in that case posed
for photos with Confederate flags.
After the church shooting,
Bryant had said he wanted to give
voters another chance to decide
whether to change Mississippi’s
flag. He repeated that position
Tuesday.
“I believe the people have the
right to speak on this,” he said.
The changes at both schools
came quietly while many students
and faculty were away. MSU
spokesman Sid Salter said
Tuesday that President Mark
Keenum approved campus leaders’
requests to remove the flag from
five locations on the Starkville
campus in June and July. Salter
said the flags have been replaced
with larger American flags, to mirror the large American flag that has
flown alone in MSU’s central quad
for at least 15 years. He said
21,000-student MSU removed
Mississippi flags from athletic arenas several years ago.
Borsig said 2,700-student MUW
was expanding a driveway where
the only state flag stood. Borsig
said he acted after campus groups
discussed the flag last year and he
encouraged them to lobby elected
officials. He also cited the 50th
anniversary of the university’s integration and Mississippi’s 2017
bicentennial.
Mississippi flag opponents welcomed its removal.
“It was important to us to take it
down because it just reminded us
of the Civil War and people who
wanted to keep us slaves,” said
Deborah Frazier, president of the
Mississippi State campus branch
of the NAACP. “Now it doesn’t
remind us daily when we see the
flag of that oppression.”
Frazier, a junior English major
from Benton, was among students
who protested the flag in front of
Keenum’s office in April. At the
time, Keenum said taking the flag
down was “a symbolic gesture that
accomplishes nothing toward actually changing the state flag.”
Salter said Tuesday that
Keenum “has been outspoken in
expressing his heartfelt personal
support for flag change and has
maintained an open dialogue with
those representing diverse points
of view on the question of the state
flag.” Salter said Mississippi’s flag
remains part of a display of state
and international flags in the university’s main cafeteria.
The University of Mississippi,
MSU’s archrival, lowered the
Mississippi flag in October. The
University of Southern Mississippi
also removed state flags last year
and three historically black universities removed them earlier. Some
Mississippi lawmakers introduced
unsuccessful bills in 2016 to force
governments and schools to display the flag.
centers its approach around the
“4 Cs” (Consumer, Care Expert
[call agents], Company and
Community).
“The BEST partnership with
Lake Forrest Middle School is a
natural fit partnership for the
Whirlpool Customer Experience
Center in Cleveland because of
our focus on the families within
our community,” Norris noted.
Whirlpool cXc kicked off the
new school year by collecting
backpacks and teacher supplies
for the middle school. “[As the
school year unfolds], we look forward to working with Ritchie
Stevenson and the LFMS team.”
Sherry Crye coordinates the
BEST partnership program for
the Chamber of Commerce.
“We instituted this program
more than 24 years ago as a
workforce development initiative
to help our local schools do what
they do not have the staff or
funding to accomplish on their
own,” she explained.
“However, BEST partnerships
are not all about giving money to
the schools, although that is
often beneficial. They are also
about giving time and skills.
Long-term members of our business community, like Whirlpool,
demonstrate what it means to be
good corporate citizens through
our workforce development program.”
According to Crye, schools in
the Cleveland and Bradley
County school systems have one
or more local business partners
as part of the BEST program.
Private schools that are Chamber
members may also participate in
the program. For more information about becoming a BEST
partner, call 423-472-6587.

3 convicted in basketball rape case
SEVIERVILLE (AP) — One
Tennessee high school basketball
player was found guilty of aggravated rape and two others were
found guilty of aggravated assault
against a freshman teammate, a
person familiar with the juvenile
court case said Tuesday.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the
hearing Tuesday involving the
Ooltewah High School students
was closed to the public and no
ruling was publicly announced
immediately afterward. The defendants’ names haven’t been
released because they were in
juvenile court.
The case arose Dec. 22 while
the team from the Chattanooga
area was playing in a tournament
about 150 miles away in the resort
town of Gatlinburg. Police in
Gatlinburg said three Ooltewah
players assaulted a freshman
teammate with a pool cue.
Gatlinburg police charged three
players with the rape of one team-
mate, though the Hamilton
County District Attorney’s Office
has indicated four freshman players were assaulted during that
trip.
“Today was an incredibly sad
day for all the young men involved
here,” said Eddie Schmidt, a
lawyer representing a victim’s
family in this case. Based on testimony in the case, he said, “we can
only conclude that the coaches
involved in this case were either
clueless as to what was going on
or didn’t give a darn about what
was going on or implicitly encouraged what was going on.
Schmidt also said the family he
represents plans to sue the
Hamilton County Board of
Education in federal court.
“These events had been building
not just for a couple of weeks, not
just for a couple of months, but for
years,” Schmidt said. “This was
almost predictable, what happened.”
Hamilton County school offi-
cials didn’t immediately respond
to messages seeking comment.
An investigation commissioned
by Hamilton County officials
showed Ooltewah’s basketball
team had a “culture of hazing and
bullying” even before the Dec. 22
incident. But the investigation also
said there was “no evidence” that
Hamilton County school officials
or Ooltewah High administrators
knew or should have known such
an incident would occur.
The investigation results were
released Aug. 19.
The investigation by attorney
Courtney Bullard showed that
nine Ooltewah players said the
team participated in an activity
they called “racking in” before the
Gatlinburg incident. They said
upperclassmen would turn out
the lights in the locker room, grab
a freshman and punch him from
the neck down, without the intent
to cause injury.
Sevier County Judge Dwight
Stokes rejected prosecutors’
attempts in March to have one
defendant transferred to adult
court.
Sevier County Juvenile Court
Judge Jeffrey Rader ruled
Tuesday that the hearing for the
three players would be closed
“except to those persons having a
direct interest in the case.”
Rader also mentioned in his ruling that Gatlinburg police detective Rodney Burns “was unable to
testify” because of the aggravated
perjury charges he faces in
Hamilton County regarding the
case.
According to an indictment filed
against Burns in May, the detective testified there were no
“screams of anguish” during the
incident, even though his written
reports noted that witnesses said
they could hear the victim yelling.
The indictment also says there
was a discrepancy in Burns’ testimony about whether he tried to
call other officials and report the
case.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A
Christian woman in Alabama was
forced to remove her headscarf
for a driver’s license photo after
being told only Muslim women
could wear them in photos,
according to a lawsuit filed
Tuesday by the American Civil
Liberties Union of Alabama on
her behalf.
Yvonne Allen of Tuskegee said
in the lawsuit that when she
went to renew her license in
December, she was directed to
remove the headscarf she wears
in accordance with her religious
beliefs. She said the clerk insisted that only Muslim women were
allowed to cover their hair in the
photos.
“I was devastated when they
forced me to remove my headscarf to take my driver’s license
photo,” Allen said in a statement
released by the ACLU. “Revealing
my hair to others is disobedient to
God. I should have the same right
as people of other faiths to be
accommodated for my religious
beliefs.”
The lawsuit filed in federal
court named Lee County Probate
Judge Bill English and clerk
Becky Frayer as defendants.
Efforts to reach English by telephone were unsuccessful and a
message was not immediately
returned seeking comment.
The lawsuit asks that Allen be
allowed to take a new license photograph with her head covered.
“The government cannot discriminate between faiths in granting religious accommodations,”
said Susan Watson, executive
director of the ACLU of Alabama.
The lawsuit contends that
Allen’s religious rights were violated and the state was selectively
enforcing accommodations for
religious beliefs.

DICKSON (AP) — The
Tennessee Highway Patrol says
alcohol was involved in the wreck
of a firetruck that overturned on
its way to house fire.
The Tennessean reports that
the tanker truck carrying three
Vanleer volunteer firefighters
missed a turn on Saturday morning and ran off of the road.
Driver David Boutcher told
investigators that the air brakes
did not work at the time of the
crash.
The THP said Boutcher and
another of other firefighters had
been drinking alcohol before the
wreck. Both were suspended and
the THP said charges are pending.
The tanker had been on the
way to a fire caused by a lightning
strike. Another volunteer fire
crew was already on the scene,
but the house was a total loss.
OAK RIDGE (AP) — Demolition
workers have taken down the last
building in a massive Oak Ridge
uranium enrichment complex
built more than 70 years ago as
part of the top-secret Manhattan
Project.
The Knoxville News Sentinel
reports Sen. Lamar Alexander
was among those commemorating the milestone on Tuesday. He
says the demolition paves the
way for new economic development at the site now called the
East Tennessee Technology Park.
The cleanup of five gaseous diffusion buildings used to enrich
uranium at the site cost $1.7 billion.
The remaining cleanup at East
Tennessee Technology Park is
slated to be complete in 2020.

MEMPHIS (AP) — Prosecutors
say a Mississippi man has been
convicted and sentenced to life in
prison for the shooting death of a
Memphis minister.
The Shelby County district
attorney’s office said 25-year-old
Roger Reed Jr. was convicted
Friday of first-degree murder and
especially aggravated robbery in
the death of 57-year-old Don A.
Smith. Reed is scheduled to be
sentenced Sept. 22 on the robbery conviction.
Authorities say Smith was a
pastor at Prospect Park
Missionary Baptist Church in
Memphis. He was found shot to
death in November 2014.
Investigators say Reed, of
Greenville, Mississippi, and a
woman got into Smith’s car after
an agreement was reached for a
sexual transaction. Reed then
shot Smith in the head, and took
his watch and $40.
The pair was arrested in
Greenville four days later.

MEMPHIS (AP) — Federal prosecutors say 12 members of an
organization that trafficked
methamphetamine
from
California to Tennessee have
been sentenced to more than 83
years in prison combined.
The U.S. attorney’s office said
Monday that 12 defendants have
been sentenced to prison terms
ranging from 18 months to 18
years. Prosecutors say they are
from Arkansas, California and
Tennessee.
Prosecutors say the ring used
the U.S. Postal Service to ship
meth
to
Memphis
from
California. Members of the
organization also laundered
money from the drug sales.
The defendants pleaded guilty
to charges including conspiracy
to possess with the intent to distribute meth, and money laundering. They were indicted in
July 2015.

critical condition after she was
shot at a SunTrust Bank near a
mall on Tuesday. Rudolph says
the guard was either entering or
exiting the bank when she was
shot.
Police are searching for a man
in a black Acura with tinted windows. Rudolph says it is not
known if any money was taken.

Obama reduces sentences
of 111 more federal inmates

DeltA Air lineS employee Helen Evans places an RFID-enabled baggage tag on a passenger's
checked bag at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport in Linthicum, Md. Delta Air
Lines is rolling out new technology to better track bags throughout its system.
Delta launches new tracking
system to help end lost luggage
LINTHICUM, Md. (AP) — Victor
DaRosa stands under a scorching afternoon sun, loading bags
onto a jet heading to Detroit.
As each suitcase climbs up the
conveyor belt into the plane, a
small computer verifies that it
actually belongs on that flight. If
one bag didn’t, a red light would
flash and the belt would stop
until somebody acknowledges
the mistake and reroutes the luggage.
This is the future of baggage
handling. Delta Air Lines is
investing $50 million to soothe
one of air travel’s biggest
headaches: lost and delayed luggage.
Delta carried nearly 120 million checked suitcases last year,
collecting $25 in fees, each way,
for most domestic bags. For that
price, fliers expect their suitcase
to be waiting on the carousel
when they arrive. Delta already
has one of the airline industry’s
best luggage handling records —
just 1 out of every 500 bags
failed to arrive on time — but
hopes that by deploying a RFID,
or radio-frequency identification,
tracking system globally it can
improve further.
If the system works, other airlines are likely to follow.
Ultimately the bag tag might be
replaced with permanent RFID
readers in our suitcases, reducing the chances fliers in the
future will start a vacation missing their swimsuit.
“It’s a very smart move,” says
Henry Harteveldt, founder of
travel consultancy Atmosphere
Research Group. “It’s one that
will help increase customer confidence that their bags will arrive
with them.”
RFID wirelessly identifies tags
attached to items. The technology is widely used at warehouses
to track goods but Delta’s rollout
is the first global use for passenger bags.
To better understand the technology, think about your local
supermarket. If every grocery
item had an RFID tag, cashiers
wouldn’t have to scan each product at checkout. Instead, the
groceries would pass by a scanner and be instantly registered.
Shoppers could even leave everything in their cart, having it all
tallied at once.
The same principles apply to
checked luggage.
Most airlines today use barcodes on tags to identify each
suitcase — each tag has its own
unique 10-digit number — and
make sure it is loaded onto the
right plane. But reading each
barcode with a handheld scanner is time consuming. Often, a
bag or two aren’t scanned or
error messages are missed by
workers focused on getting
“It’s amazing
technology. It’s going
to totally eliminate a
bunch of careless little
errors.”
— Victor DaRosa
planes out on time.
Delta designed its system to
stop those errors. At the airline’s
84 largest airports — accounting
for 85 percent of its passengers
— Delta will have 1,500 special
belt loaders with RFID readers
built in. Those loaders — like the
one DaRosa was using — stop
when a bag for a different flight
is accidently placed on the belt.
“It’s amazing technology,” says
DaRosa, a ramp supervisor who
has been testing the technology
at
Baltimore
Washington
International Airport. “It’s going
to totally eliminate a bunch of
careless little errors.”
Replacing handheld scanners
allows ramp workers to use both
hands to lift bags, reducing
injuries and speeding up the
loading and unloading process.
RFID also shortens the time
needed to find and remove a bag
from a plane at the last second.
All of that means more on-time
flights.
Delta is also using RFID to
track bags through the labyrinth
of conveyor belts below terminals. If bags fall off a belt at a
particular curve or get suck at a
junction, Delta will now have
enough RFID readers — about
5,200 globally — to pinpoint the
trouble spot and fix it. The
Atlanta-based airline says it
plans to have the system online
in 344 airports by the end of
August.
The new tags look like traditional ones. But if held up to the
light, passengers can see a fingernail-size chip and a credit
card size antenna inlayed
inside.
By the end of this year, fliers
will be able to track their bags
through the Delta smartphone
app, getting push notifications at
each step of the journey. If a bag
misses its flight, passengers are
also notified instantly.
That way passengers “aren’t
standing at a baggage carousel
waiting for the last piece of luggage to come off to realize their
bag isn’t there,” says Sandy
Gordon, Delta’s vice president of
airport operations for the eastern
U.S.
Most passengers’ bags do
arrive on time. But there are so
hiccups, with 1 out of every 500
bags Delta carried last year failing to do so. It’s a record surpassed by only Virgin America
and JetBlue Airways, which both
have smaller and simpler route
networks. Twice as many were
delayed last year on American
Airlines, according to statistics
reported to the Department of
Transportation.
Bags often get delayed when
bad weather forces tight connections or passengers are rerouted
onto new flights.
Of the 245,000 bags Delta
mishandled last year, 208,000 of
them arrived within three hours,
according to the airline. Another
25,000 were reunited with passengers within 12 hours. The
remaining 12,000 were either
lost or took more than 12 hours
to be delivered.
Installing RFID isn’t going to
solve all of Delta’s baggage problems. But the airline estimates a
10-percent reduction in delayed
bags. That means about 25,000
fewer bags the airline has to
deliver to passengers’ homes,
offices or hotel rooms.
For the past five years,
Australian airline Qantas has
offered a permanent RFID bag
tag that fliers can purchase for
about $23 and use when flying
the airline domestically. Several
big airports, including those in
Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Milan
and Tokyo, use RFID to track
bags through parts of their systems.
But Delta, the world’s second
largest carrier by passenger traffic, is providing the most-comprehensive tracking the industry
has seen to date.
Airlines have long found RFID
too pricey but the cost has
dropped.
McCarran
International Airport in Las
Vegas says it currently pays 12
cents for each RFID tag, down
from 21.5 cents a decade ago.
Traditional tags cost the airport
3 cents. Delta refused to say how
much it’s paying for RFID bag
tags, except that it is less than
10 cents each.
The new tracking system won’t
follow every suitcase.
There are limitations.
It includes bags checked at the
gate and claimed at a baggage
carousel. But items like strollers
or bags checked at the gate for
regional jets — those picked up
at the arriving gate — currently
aren’t tracked with RFID.
If a Delta passenger connects
onto a flight with a Delta partner
like Air France, the traditional
barcode tag takes over for the
final leg of the journey. However,
an Air France passenger connecting to a Delta flight gets a
RFID sticker added to the traditional tag when their luggage
first enters Delta’s possession.
And nothing is preventing the
airline from losing your bag if
any of these tags get ripped off
along the way.
Yellowstone south entrance reopens after wildfire closure
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL
PARK, Wyo. (AP) — The south
entrance to Yellowstone National
Park reopened Tuesday after
being closed for more than a week
because of a wildfire in neighboring Grand Teton National Park.
“There’s probably been a lot of
people putting off a visit due to
the inconvenience of the extended
drive,”
Yellowstone
fire
spokesman Bill Swartley said.
“Now with that roadway open I
would expect more visitors to
come to the park.”
A 10-mile stretch of U.S.
89/191/287
leading
to
Yellowstone was shut down on
Aug. 22 when a wind-driven wildfire jumped the highway on the
northeast side of Grand Teton
park.
The closure forced visitors from
the Jackson Hole area in
Wyoming to take a detour, adding
about an hour of drive time to
reach Yellowstone through its
west entrance.
The fire burned along both
sides of a 5-mile stretch on either
side of U.S. 89/191/287 and it
took firefighters through Monday
to douse hot spots and clear
downed and dangerous burned
trees.
Fire officials say the blaze that
continues to burn in Grand Teton
aided firefighters in their efforts
to reopen the road.
“The smoke cloud that kicked
up in the afternoon provided
shade to the roadway and helped
firefighters in mopping up the hot
spots along the highway,” Grand
Teton fire spokeswoman Karen
Miranda said.
Miranda said motorists were
urged to drive with caution
because firefighters were still
using the road and the fire might
burn back over the highway.
The Flagg Ranch guest lodge
and cabin operation remained
closed. Grand Teton Lodge Co.,
which runs the facility, has
decided to close it early for the
winter and reopen it for the 2017
summer season next June 1.
The company’s other Grand
Teton lodges at Jenny Lake and
Jackson Lake and the Colter Bay
Village facility will remain open
this fall and are scheduled to
close for the winter in October.
The lightning-caused fire that
began in July has burned nearly
21 square miles and continues to
burn actively in remote areas.
The fire produced a large cloud of
smoke Monday.
“It was quite a show, it was
very dramatic and it was a very
large column, but it was not
threatening” any buildings or
tourist areas, Miranda said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President
Barack Obama cut short on
Tuesday the sentences of 111 federal inmates in another round of
commutations for those convicted
of nonviolent drug offenses.
Obama has long called for
phasing out strict sentences for
drug convictions, arguing they
lead to excessive punishment and
incarceration rates unseen in
other developed countries.
White House Counsel Neil
Eggleston said the commutations
underscored the president’s commitment to using his clemency
authority to give deserving individuals a second chance. He said
that Obama has granted a total of
673 commutations, more than
the previous 10 presidents combined. More than a third of the
recipients were serving life sentences.
“We must remember that these
are individuals — sons, daughters, parents, and in many cases,
grandparents — who have taken
steps toward rehabilitation and
who have earned their second
chance,” Eggleston said. “They
are individuals who received
unduly harsh sentences under
outdated laws for committing
largely nonviolent drug crimes.”
Eggleston noted that Obama
also granted commutation to 214
federal inmates earlier in the
month. With Tuesday’s additions,
Obama has granted the greatest
number of commutations for a
single month of any president.
Eggleston says he expects
Obama to continue using his
clemency authority through the
end of his administration. He said
the relief points to the need for
Congress to take up criminal justice reform. Such legislation has
stalled, undercut by a rash of
summer shootings involving
police and the pressure of election-year politics.
Two goals of the legislation are
to reduce overcrowding in the
nation’s prisons and save taxpayer dollars. In 1980, the federal
prison population was less than
25,000. Today, it is more than
200,000.
But the legislation’s supporters
have encountered opposition from
some Republicans who argue that
changes could lead to an increase
in crime and pose a greater danger to law enforcement.
Eggleston said Obama considered the individual merits of each
application to determine that an
applicant is ready to make use of
their second chance.
One of those granted relief was
Tim Tyler, who at 25 was sentenced to life in federal prison for
possession with intent to deliver
LSD as he followed the Grateful
Dead. He is now set to be released
on August 30, 2018, conditioned
upon enrollment in residential
drug treatment. Families Against
Mandatory Minimums, an advocacy group, said it had been
working on the Tyler family’s
behalf.
“We applaud the president for
using the clemency power to free
people who fully expected to die in
prison and for shining a light on
the excesses of federal drug sentencing.” said Julie Stewart, the
group’s president.
The release dates for the
inmates vary. Most are set to be
released December 28.
Legal groups supporting the
president’s actions have formed
an organization called Clemency
Project 2014 that has submitted
some 1,600 clemency petitions to
the Justice Department’s Office of
the Pardon Attorney. The group
said a prisoner must have served
at least 10 years of his or her sentence to be considered for a commutation grant and must be a
non-violent offender without significant ties to gangs or cartels.
The inmate also must have
demonstrated good conduct in
prison while serving a sentence
that likely would have been substantially lower if handed out
today.
“We are looking forward to
many more grants during the
remaining months of President
Obama’s term in office,” said the
group’s project manager, Cynthia
Roseberry.

Trump to make surprising trip to Mexico
EVERETT, Washington (AP) —
Donald Trump will make a quick
visit to Mexico on Wednesday,
meeting with the president of a
nation he derided as the home of
rapists and criminals. The trip is
a politically risky move for the
Republican presidential nominee
less than 10 weeks before the
election.
It is not clear how Trump will
be received in a country where he
is widely despised. Beyond his
disparaging comments about
Mexicans, Trump has promised,
if elected, to deport millions of
immigrants who are in the
United States illegally, force
Mexico to build a huge wall to
secure the nearly 2,000-mile
border, and renegotiate the
NAFTA trade agreement to make
it more favorable to the United
States.
Mexican
President
Enrique Pena Nieto has compared Trump to Adolf Hitler.
But it also offers Trump an
opportunity to appear more presidential as he makes his first foreign visit since winning the nomination. Polls show him trailing
Democrat Hillary Clinton in most
of the key states that will determine the U.S. election. He is
struggling to win over moderate
voters, including Republicans,
who are turned off by his brash
rhetoric and controversial proposals on immigration and other
matters.
Some
former
Republican foreign policy officials have warned that Trump is
unprepared to lead on the world
stage.
The trip will come hours before
Trump delivers a highly anticipated immigration speech. It’s a
defining issue for Trump, but
one on which he has appeared to
waver. After saying during his
primary campaign he would use
a “deportation force” to expel all
of the estimated 11 million people living in the United States
illegally,” Trump has suggested

rally at Xfinity Arena of Everett, Tuesday in Everett, Wash.
recently he might be open to
“softening” his stance.
Last week, Pena Nieto extended invitations to visit Mexico to
both Trump and Clinton, who
met with him in Mexico in 2014.
The Washington Post first reported Tuesday that Trump was considering making the trip to
Mexico.
The invitation to Trump puzzled Mexican analysts. It is not
clear why Pena-Nieto, who
already has low approval ratings,
would agree to a meeting that
might boost the candidacy of
someone so widely disliked by
Mexicans. The newspaper El
Universal wrote in an editorial
that Trump “caught Mexican
diplomats off guard” by accepting the invitation.
Trump took to Twitter on
Tuesday night to say he looks
“very much forward” to meeting
with Pena Nieto. The Mexican
leader’s office confirmed the
meeting with its own tweet, saying the two men would meet privately.
Pena Nieto has been sharply
critical of Trump’s immigration
policies,
particularly
the
Republican’s plans to build a
wall and have Mexico pay for it.
In a March interview, Pena Nieto
said that “there is no scenario”
under which Mexico would do so
and compared Trump’s language
to that of dictators Hitler and
Benito
Mussolini.
Former
Mexican Presidents Vicente Fox
and Felipe Calderon have also
alluded to Hitler in describing
the Republican nominee.
Pena Nieto cast a different tone
late Tuesday, tweeting, “I believe
in dialogue to promote Mexico’s
interests in the world and, principally, to protect Mexicans
wherever they are.”
Clinton’s campaign has urged
voters to not “be fooled” by what
it calls Trump’s attempts to disguise his immigration policies.
“What ultimately matters is what
Donald Trump says to voters in
Arizona, not Mexico, and
whether he remains committed
to the splitting up of families and
deportation of millions,” said
campaign
communications
director Jennifer Palmieri.
While Trump’s visit came as a
surprise, New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie, a close Trump adviser,
has been among those pushing
Trump to make the trip, according to a person familiar with their
conversations who spoke on the
condition of anonymity in order
to discuss them publicly.
Christie made his own successful
trip to Mexico City in September
2014 and has a warm relation-
ship with the Mexican president.
On NBC’s “Today,” Trump’s
campaign manager, Kellyanne
Conway, was asked if Trump
would change his rhetoric in his
meeting with Pena Nieto. She
said, “I think you’ll see a very
presidential Donald Trump.”
Asked if Trump planned to
stand by his campaign position
of forcing out people living in the
U.S. illegally, she said, “He’s
made very clear that he hasn’t
changed his position at all when
it comes to enforcing the law.”
She declined to say what Trump
might offer in his speech, except
to say he’ll repeat his opposition
to amnesty, his commitment to
building a wall along the U .S.
Southern border and his plan to
revoke
President
Barack
Obama’s executive orders on
immigration.
In meetings recently with
Hispanic supporters, Trump had
suggested he could be open to
allowing some people living in the
country illegally to stay. After one
such roundtable this month,
Conway, said Trump’s stance on
using a deportation force to expel
people was “to be determined.”
In the days since, Trump and
his staff have broadcast varied
and conflicting messages —
though on Wednesday Conway,
appeared to make clear that
Trump had decided against
allowing immigrants in the U.S.
illegally to stay.
Trump has spent much of his
campaign railing against the
U.S.’s trade imbalance with
Mexico and other countries and
promising that, if he’s elected
president, he will punish companies that try to move jobs overseas. During his announcement
speech, Trump accused Mexico
of sending its rapists and criminals across the border, and
vowed to build a giant wall to
stop them, along with the flow of
illegal drugs.
Clinton to stress American exceptionalism in Ohio
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) —
Hillary Clinton plans to stress
her support for American exceptionalism during a speech in the
battleground state of Ohio, while
arguing that Donald Trump has
rejected the concept.
Clinton’s midday address at
the American Legion’s annual
convention
in
Cincinnati
Wednesday comes as Trump
plans a last-minute trip to
Mexico in advance of a longawaited speech on immigration.
A Clinton campaign official said
the Democratic nominee plans to
use her first public event in days
to portray her Republican opponent as a questionable leader
who would “walk away from our
allies, undermine our values,
insult our military — and has
explicitly rejected the idea of
American exceptionalism.”
In contrast, the official said
Clinton “will make the case for
American exceptionalism and
call for maintaining America’s
military and diplomatic leadership in the world.”
American
exceptionalism
refers to the country’s elevated
standing and leadership in the
world. Donald Trump has
pledged to “Make America Great
Again” and restore the country to
a time when, in his view, the U.S.
was more prosperous and full of
opportunity
than
now.
Democrats, including President
Barack Obama, insist America is
already great, or “exceptional.”
To bolster her argument,
Clinton will talk about her experience, including serving on the
Senate
Armed
Services
Committee and as secretary of
state. She will also emphasize
the growing list of Republicans
who have backed her campaign.
A campaign official said that in
advance of her Wednesday
speech,
another
leading
Republican would back the campaign. James Clad, former
Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Defense under President George
W. Bush, will announce his support for Clinton, following a slew
of GOP endorsements. In a statement, Clad will say that “giving
an incoherent amateur the keys
to the White House this
November will doom us to second
or third-class status.”
Clinton’s remarks come on the
same day her Republican opponent is set to deliver a longawaited speech on immigration
where he is expected to provide
more clarity on his primary
pledge to deport all of the estimated 11 million people living in
the country illegally. While
Trump had said during the primary that he intended to accomplish that goal with the help of a
“deportation force,” in recent
weeks he has suggested in
closed-door meetings with
Hispanic activists that he might
be open to re-considering. He
and his aides have spent the last
week-and-a-half offering mixed
signals.
Trump is scheduled to speak
in Arizona in the evening.
Trump’s campaign said Tuesday
night that he will make a surprise trip to Mexico on

Wednesday to meet with Mexican
President Enrique Pena Nieto.
The Washington Post first reported the planned trip.
Responding to Trump’s Mexico
plans, Clinton communications
director Jennifer Palmieri said in
a statement that “what ultimately matters is what Donald Trump
says to voters in Arizona, not
Mexico, and whether he remains
committed to the splitting up of
families and deportation of millions.”
Clinton’s campaign says she
has also been invited by Nieto to
make a visit and that the two will
talk again at “the appropriate
time.”
Clinton’s speech in Ohio
comes after several days of bigticket private fundraisers in the
Hamptons, a wealthy community
on New York’s Long Island, where
she collected millions at waterfront mansions in preparation for
the fall campaign. The fundraising swing concluded in style
Tuesday night, with an event featuring performances from Jimmy
Buffett, Jon Bon Jovi and Paul
McCartney.
Though many national and
state polls show Clinton with an
edge, she has been stressing that
the campaign must not take anything for granted. At a fundraiser
on Monday she told supporters
she was “running against someone who will say or do anything.
And who knows what that might
be.”
Why It MAtters:
All will be
touched by
choice in
November
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Hillary Clinton and
Donald Trump offer voters distinct choices this
fall on issues that
shape everyday lives.
Actual ideas are in play,
as difficult as it can be
to see them through the
surreal layers of the
2016 presidential campaign.
Washington, even in
normal times, may feel
like a foreign capital far
removed from the places
politicians love to talk
about — the proverbial
kitchen table, Main
Street, your wallet.
But decisions to be
made by President
Trump or President
Clinton are going to
matter to home and
hearth. The tax bite, the
social safety net, the
social fabric, potholes,
prices, jobs, war, the air
we breathe, personal
debt and national debt
— all that and more are
touched in some way by
the ballots of Tuesday,
Nov. 8.
America’s place in the
world is in the balance,
too. So is the direction
of the Supreme Court,
tied between Republican
and Democratic
appointees. In a sense,
a vote for president is
also a vote to break the
court’s left-right divide.
Which side are you on?
Whichever side, voters are in the driver’s
seat, not the cheap
seats, for this election
spectacle.
Clinton brings some
predictability. She has a
public-service record
and an economic agenda rooted in the traditions of the Democratic
Party. Trump at the
core is a party of one.
The Republican nominee serves up ideas in
improvised explosive
tweets and broad
brushstrokes from the
stage.
That contrast is a
guide to what to expect,
not the whole story.
Both are known to have
shifted with the political
winds. And their plans
require the approval of
that famously ornery
place, Congress, to
become real.
Even so, they point to
divergent paths for the
country on immigration,
the economy, health
care, global warming
and any number of
other topics. They present, in short, discernible choices.
In this series,
Associated Press writers
who cover subjects at
stake in the election

policy landscape, summarize the positions of
the candidates and look

matter.
Bill Clinton eyes exit from charity that has shaped legacy
WASHINGTON (AP) — When
Bill Clinton told the staff of his
global charity he would have to
step down if Hillary Clinton won
the White House, he was vividly
clear about how that felt: Worse
than a root canal, he said.
For Clinton, the foundation
that bears his name has shaped
much of his post-White House
legacy, helping transform him
from a popular yet scandal-tainted former president into an international philanthropist and
humanitarian. But the Clinton
Foundation is also the focus of
election-year scrutiny — pushed
along by Donald Trump — about
the Democratic power couple’s
ability and willingness to separate the organization’s wealthy
contributors from past and possible future government roles.
The decisions surrounding the
foundation’s future are the latest
chapter in an unprecedented
partnership of personal and political ambitions. While presidential
spouses — Hillary Clinton among
them — often put aside their own
goals, never before has that been
required of a former president.
Friends and associates say
that while Bill Clinton knows his
role in the high-profile charity
has to change, settling on how
and when he might walk away
has been emotional. He’s also
said to be deeply frustrated with
the criticism shadowing his
potential exit.
“We’re trying to do good things.
If there’s something wrong with
creating jobs and saving lives, I
don’t know what it is,” he said
last week.
Mark Updegrove, the director
of the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential library and author of
“Second Acts: Presidential Lives
and Legacies After the White
House,” said that while the foundation has unquestionably done
good work around the world, the
former president has no choice
but to step aside if his wife wins
the White House.
“Bill Clinton is smart enough
to know that as much as the
Clinton Foundation might help to
augment his legacy, Hillary
Clinton becoming president will
be a far greater legacy than anything he himself can do as a former president,” Updegrove said.
The foundation made some
adjustments after she became
secretary of state, but it has still
faced numerous questions about
how rigorously firewalls were
upheld that were meant to separate donors from her government
work.
The Associated Press found
that more than half the people
outside the government who met
or spoke by telephone with
Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state had given money
— either personally or through
companies or groups — to the
Clinton Foundation. The AP’s
analysis focused on people with
private interests and excluded
her meetings or calls with U.S.
federal employees or foreign government representatives. Clinton
has said AP’s analysis was flawed
because it should have included
in its counts those meetings with
federal employees and foreign
diplomats.
AP’s report was based on
Clinton’s formal calendars and
daily schedules, the latter of
which covered only about half
her tenure as secretary. The AP
sued the State Department in
federal court to obtain the
detailed schedules, and the State
Department so far has released
only half of them.
For Trump and other
Republicans, the Clintons’ overlapping worlds are rife with ethical lapses. And for some
Democrats, even that perception
is worrisome in an election year
where control of the White House
and Congress are at stake.
Meanwhile, there’s an odd reality of modern American politics:
What presidents do after leaving
the White House can shape their
legacy almost as much as their
tenure in the Oval Office.
It can be an opportunity to bolster presidential successes and
try to make up for failures. And
those who leave office relatively
young — Clinton was 54 — can
spend many more years on these
legacy projects than they did in
the White House.
“For the last 15 years, it has
been his life,” said Tina Flournoy,
Bill Clinton’s chief of staff.
During the announcement of his
potential departure, she said he
noted that his role as head of the
foundation was “the longest job
he has held.”
Clinton’s post-White House
years built on the model
employed by Jimmy Carter, who
was seen by some as an ineffectual one-term president, but has
dramatically reshaped his image
with decades of work on global
issues. George W. Bush left office
deeply unpopular, but has been
applauded for dedicating his
post-White House years to HIV
programs in Africa and work with
wounded military veterans.
President Barack Obama has
been discussing plans for his
White House afterlife with confidants for months.

Politics, shootings undercut criminal justice overhaul
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hopes
for overhauling the nation’s criminal justice system have faded in
Congress this year, undercut by a
rash of summer shootings involving police and the pressure of
election-year politics.
Republicans,
including
Majority Whip John Cornyn of
Texas and Utah Sen. Mike Lee,
had joined forces with Democrats
in hopes of revising the 1980s
and ‘90s-era federal “tough on
crime” laws by reducing some
mandatory sentences for lowlevel drug offenders and giving
judges greater discretion in sentencing. The goal is to reduce
overcrowding in the nation’s prisons and save taxpayer dollars.
In 1980, the federal prison
population was less than 25,000.
Today, it is more than 200,000.
The bipartisan group encountered fierce opposition from some
Republicans who argue reform
could increase crime and pose a
greater danger to law enforcement. Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump hasn’t
commented on the pending legislation but has dubbed himself
the “law-and-order candidate” for
what he calls a country in crisis,
with terrorism in cities and
attacks on police.
With Republicans deeply divided, one man could break the legislative deadlock: Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
who has not indicated whether
he supports the effort. If inaction
is telling, McConnell so far has
declined to put the legislation to
vote, suggesting he doesn’t want
a messy intraparty fight before
the November election.
Unlike McConnell, House
Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,
strongly supports an overhaul
and may bring up a series of
bipartisan House bills in
September to reduce mandatory
sentences and boost rehabilitation programs.
An unusual coalition —
President Barack Obama, the
American Civil Liberties Union
and the conservative Koch
Industries — says the system is
broken and supports changes.
Obama has made it a priority in
his last year.
But Ryan and Obama have a
tough job in winning over
McConnell, who must deal with
opponents such as Arkansas
Sen. Tom Cotton, Texas Sen. Ted
Cruz and a handful of other
Senate Republicans.
Supporters are also battling
the calendar; Congress is only in
session a few weeks before
Obama leaves office. Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary
Clinton supports the effort, but if
she wins it’s unclear whether
there would be momentum for
the overhaul in her busy first
year in office.
Cotton calls the Senate bill “a
dangerous experiment in criminal leniency” that would let violent criminals out of prison.
Supporters say the legislation
would do the opposite, making
communities safer by focusing on
rehabilitation and preserving
police resources. Mark Holden of
Koch Industries, which has
backed the Senate and House
bills, points to states that have
successfully put similar reforms
in place.
Proponents argue that there’s
no direct connection between the
overhaul and this summer’s
shootings of black men in
Minneapolis and Baton Rouge —
or the shooting of police officers
in Dallas and Baton Rouge —
since the measures would primarily deal with incarceration of
low-level drug offenders and
rehabilitation
programs.
Opponents counter that reducing
mandatory minimum sentences
could further endanger law
enforcement.
“If you talk to actual officers on
the street, almost all of them will
tell you their job has gotten more
dangerous,” said the Hudson
Institute’s John Walters, who was
drug czar under President George
W. Bush. “The current debate
about this isn’t going to give them
a voice.”
The
House
Judiciary
Committee is looking at separate
action on policing and has created a bipartisan working group on
police accountability and aggression toward law enforcement.
After meetings in Detroit on
Tuesday,
Chairman
Bob
Goodlatte, R-Va., predicted criminal justice reform will eventually
pass.
On policing, Goodlatte said
mistrust between law enforcement and the communities will
not be solved overnight.
“However, this should not deter
us from devoting urgent attention
to this matter of national importance,” he said.
Republicans who back criminal justice overhaul point to the
support of several law enforcement groups and say they are
working the party’s grassroots,
bringing the message that
changes could save billions of
federal dollars and help criminals
from returning to prison.
“There’s no question that it’s
very hard to draw the lines on the
conservative movement and
where people are on this,” says
Republican Ken Cuccinelli, the
former Virginia attorney general
who is working with a group
called Right on Crime.
At the heart of the Republican
debate on the issue is a philosophical difference between advocates who say rehabilitation and
shorter sentences could lower
recidivism and opponents who
say it will let criminals out and
not do enough to stem crime.
Advocates point to a dip in overall
crime in the U.S., while opponents point to rising crime in
Comey: FBI wants
‘adult conversation’
on device encryption
Jeff Lampe/Peoria Journal Star via AP
In thIS fILe Photo, an alligator snapping turtle is
shown in Peoria, Ill. The U.S. government will decide over
the next several years if federal protections are needed for
the alligator snapping turtle, Northern Rockies fisher and
seven other species.
Settlement forces U.S.
to decide whether 9
species endangered
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The U.S. government agreed
Tuesday to decide over the next several years if federal protections are needed to help a small, fanged predator of the
Northern Rockies, massive alligator snapping turtles in the
South and seven other troubled species that in some cases
have awaited action for years.
Deadlines for the decisions were detailed in a legal settlement filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
The Center for Biological Diversity had sued the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service in March, alleging agency officials
repeatedly missed previous deadlines despite determining
protections may be warranted.
The settlement must be approved by Judge Emmet G.
Sullivan before it goes into effect.
One of the first species to be decided on, by October 2017,
is the Northern Rockies fisher. The cat-sized predator once
ranged across at least five states. It’s now limited to a much
smaller area straddling the Montana-Idaho border.
Montana allows the trapping of seven fishers annually —
activity banned elsewhere in the West.
“Alongside habitat loss, trapping is one of the primary
threats to Northern Rockies fishers,” said Andrea
Santarsiere, an attorney with the Center for Biological
Diversity. She said federal protections “are the only way to
curb this ongoing threat.”
The Fish and Wildlife Service rejected protections for fishers in 2011, concluding that trapping by humans did not
appear to be harming the overall population, though their
precise numbers are unknown. But the agency agreed to
take another look earlier this year after wildlife advocates
provided details on fishers killed by trappers seeking other
species.
That change followed a study that found the animals “are
more vulnerable for survival than previously thought, and
may still be impacted by trapping,” Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Serena Baker said Tuesday. She said the species will
be included in its upcoming endangered species list national
workplan for a decision in fiscal year 2017.
Fishers remain relatively abundant in parts of the Midwest
and New England.
A decision on the alligator snapping turtle is due in 2020.
The hard-biting, spike-studded a turtle can grow to more
than 2 feet long and top 200 pounds, making it North
America’s largest freshwater turtle.
Other species included in the settlement were the
California spotted owl, an Alabama mussel called the Canoe
Creek pigtoe and the Beaverpond marstonia, a tiny freshwater snail that advocates say is found only in one Georgia
creek.
Two fish were included — the Virgin River spinedace, a
desert minnow once common in the Virgin River basin in
northwestern Arizona, southeastern Nevada and southwestern Utah, and the Barrens topminnow in Tennessee’s
Barrens Plateau.
Welcome center becomes rescue
NEW BUFFALO, Mich. (AP) — A
Michigan Welcome Center doubled
as an animal rescue center, as
employees sought and saved a cat
that escaped from its cross-country bound family.
Milkie, a 14-year-old tabby, was
traveling in a moving truck with
Graham Skelly and his 10-year-old
son, Simon, from Seattle to
Arlington, Virginia. The father says
they stopped Aug. 21 at the travelers’ center in New Buffalo, near the
Indiana line.
Skelly says the leashed cat
became scared by a dog and ran
into woods. The Skellys searched
for two hours before leaving emptyhanded.
Center employee Alyson Payne
says workers finally safely trapped
Milkie on Friday.
Graham Skelly drove from
Virginia to reclaim the pet Sunday.
He says by phone — amid Milkie’s
meows — the family is “grateful.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI
Director James Comey warned
again Tuesday about the bureau’s
inability to access digital devices
because of encryption and said
investigators were collecting information about the challenge in
preparation for an “adult conversation” next year.
Widespread encryption built
into smartphones is “making more
and more of the room that we are
charged to investigate dark,”
Comey said in a cybersecurity
symposium.
The remarks reiterated points
that Comey has made repeatedly
in the last two years, before
Congress and in other settings,
about the growing collision
between electronic privacy and
national security.
The Justice Department decided within the last year to not seek
a legislative resolution, and some
of the public debate surrounding
the FBI’s legal fight with Apple Inc.
has subsided in the last few
months since federal authorities
were able to access a locked phone
in a terror case without the help of
the technology giant.
The FBI this year sought a court
order to force Apple to help it hack
into an iPhone used by one of the
San Bernardino, California shooters, a demand the tech giant said
would dramatically weaken security of its products.The FBI ultimately got into the phone with the
help of an unidentified third party,
concluding the court case but
leaving unresolved the underpinning legal questions.
Comey made clear Tuesday he
expects that dialogue to continue.
“The conversation we’ve been
trying to have about this has
dipped below public consciousness now, and that’s fine,” Comey
said at a symposium organized by
Symantec, a technology company.
“Because what we want to do is
collect information this year so
that next year we can have an
adult conversation in this country.”
The American people, he said,
have a reasonable expectation of
privacy in private spaces —
including houses, cars and electronic devices. But that right is
not absolute when law enforcement has probable cause to
believe that there’s evidence of a
crime in one of those places,
including a laptop or smartphone.
“With good reason, the people of
the United States — through
judges and law enforcement —
can invade our private spaces,”
Comey said, adding that that
“bargain” has been at the center of
the country since its inception.
He said it’s not the role of the
FBI or tech companies to tell the
American people how to live and
govern themselves.
“We need to understand in the
FBI, how is this exactly affecting
our work, and then share that
with folks,” Comey said, conceding the American people might
ultimately decide that its privacy
was more important than “that
portion of the room being dark” to
the FBI.
He also stood by the Justice
Department’s decision to bring
indictments against Chinese and
Iranian officials in major cyberattack cases in the last two years,
rejecting criticism from those who
call criminal charges meaningless
gestures unlikely to result in convictions.
“We want to lock some people
up, so that we send a message
that it’s not a freebie to kick in the
door, metaphorically, of an
American company or private citizen and steal what matters to
them,” Comey said. “And if we
can’t lock people up, we want to
call (them) out. We want to name
and shame through indictments,
or sanctions, or public relation
campaigns —who is doing this
and exactly what they’re doing.”
Those actions can make a foreign defendant think twice before
traveling overseas, and can deter
governments. He maintained that
there’s been progress with the
Chinese government since 2014
indictments that accused five
Chinese military officials of
siphoning secrets from American
corporations.

State Rep. Kevin Brooks told
the Rotary Club of Cleveland on

state Legislature reconvenes in
January, it will have much success on which to build.
“We truly live in the best state

Brooks said the economic

“People want a safe place not

“They shouldn’t have to worry

Tenth Judicial District Recovery
Court Director Jill Barrett, in
partnership with Assistant
District Attorney General Shari
Tayloe from the 10th Judicial
District Attorney General’s Office,
applied for the grant to address
the increased need to facilitate
more availability for participants
in the Recovery Court and the
growing need for co-occurring
Substance Abuse and Mental
Health treatment within the criminal justice system.
This grant award will allow the
Recovery Court to expand on cooccurring substance abuse and
mental health service. Thus, the
expansion of effective treatment
mechanisms and service options
will decrease cost and excessive
service utilization associated with
this group and ultimately, reduce
taxpayer burden within our four
county district.
Circuit Court Judge Andrew

involved in the Recovery Court are
excited, “doubling the size of the

We look forward to meeting these
challenges brought on by substance abuse in the community
through faithful adherence to our
recovery court treatment model.”
“We are really excited to be able
to expand the program to work
with the individuals we work
with,” said Melissa Arkin, CEO for
Parkridge Valley, which provides
counseling and outpatient treatment for those in the Recovery
Court.
Tayloe said that it will be helpful in providing services in areas
outside Bradley County, such as
Monroe County or eastern Polk
County. Those in the court have
had to travel to Bradley County
for the program, which the grant
will help alleviate by providing
services in closer proximity.
Barrett said that the program
has been successful, and operates without taxpayer money.
“This is an alternative sentencing program, so it will help us
keep these nonviolent offenders
out of jail,” she said.
Tayloe said when the program
started in 2004, Recovery Court
received about one-third of this
amount of money to get the pro-
gram started.
Freiberg also indicated being
selected to receive this award is
an honor, as only 30 to 50 similar
grants were awarded throughout
the United States.

United Way of the Ocoee
Region is kicking off Breast
Cancer Awareness month with
a benefit brunch at the
Museum Center at Five Points.
Dubbed “Brunch and Bubbly,”
it is a lunchtime event with a
simple objective: make mammograms more accessible.
Presented by Women United,
the event will be held
Thursday, Oct. 6, from 11:30
a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Funded in part by ticket
sales, the mobile mammography vehicle will be visiting the
Blythe Oldfield community this
fall to provide mammograms to
women who may not otherwise
be able to receive this type of
service. The Blythe Oldfield
community is the neighborhood of service for United
Way’s Impact Cleveland initiative.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention, about 220,000
women and 2,000 men are
diagnosed with breast cancer
each year, leading to more than
40,000 deaths annually in the
United States. The CDC also
states that mammograms are
the best method of early detection.
Women United is United
Way’s affinity group formerly
known as the Women’s
Leadership Council. Women
United is a diversified group of
women who come together to
impact the local community in
a positive manner, whether it
be literacy and early education
or access to potentially lifesaving health screenings like
mammograms.
“It is truly remarkable, the
driving force women can have
in affecting positive change,”
said Candice Natola, director of
Community Engagement at
United Way of the Ocoee
Region.
The group held a fundraiser
event earlier this year for early
education at Holly Hill, and
has had multiple volunteer
opportunities for women to get
involved in various capacities.
To purchase a ticket to the
brunch and join the fight
against breast cancer, contact
Ashlan Morelock at
AshlanMorelock@UnitedWayOc
oee.org or at 423-716-5725.
Other than table and ticket
sales, there will be no other
donation requests at this
event. Tables for eight are
$400, and tables for 10 are
$500. Individual tickets are
also available at $50 each. Men
and women both are welcome
to attend the event.
Women interested in receiving more information about the
services the mobile mammography bus provides may sign
up in the Impact Cleveland
office, located in the Blythe
Family Support Center.
United Way connects people
to community by bringing
stakeholders together to
address the crisis and chronic
issues the community faces.
United Way works to find
solutions to these issues in
health, education and stability
by connecting the community
to the needs and resources
available.

Emergency
From Page 1
“This year, in Tennessee and
across the nation, natural and
human-caused disasters have
taken lives, destroyed homes and
damaged roads and infrastructure,” said TEMA Director Patrick
Sheehan. “While we live in some
of the safest times in history,
these fires, storms, flash floods,
heat waves, tornadoes, accidents,
and active-shooter tragedies serve
as reminders of the importance of
being aware of the potential
threats around us and to prepare
ourselves and our loved ones.
This statewide EAS test message
will
recognize
National
Preparedness Month and emphasize the importance of emergency
preparedness.”
TEMA will send the voluntary
EAS and WEA test messages
through IPAWS, allowing TEMA to
assess its operational readiness
to alert and warn the public during statewide disasters and emergencies. The message will be as
follows:
“This is a statewide test of the
Emergency Alert System. This is
only a test. September is National
Preparedness
Month.
The
Tennessee
Emergency
Management Agency, Tennessee
Association of Broadcasters and
this station are reminding you
how important it is to be ready for
disasters and emergencies. Take
some time to prepare an emergency kit for your home, office,
and vehicle, and have an emergency plan so you and your family
are ready. Visit www.tnema.org
for information.”
The EAS test is designed to
have limited impact on the public
and there is no Federal
Communications Commission
regulatory liability for stations
that choose not to participate.
“TAB’s radio and television
membership is looking forward to
partnering with TEMA to help
bring awareness to families and
businesses getting ready for the
when, not if of an emergency or
disaster,” said TAB President
Whit Adamson. “This statewide
test is the perfect warmup for the
national test scheduled on Sept.
28, 2016, which will be coordinated with the FCC and Federal
Emergency Management Agency.”
“I think this has been going on
for about 17 years,” said one of
the persons in charge of this
year’s event, Bobbie Reagan,
who is one of many unpaid volunteers. “I said I would like to
do more, and when I became
disabled in 2007, the Lord said
‘So, what is your excuse now?’
and I got more involved.”
She said she began working
with local project founder Dave
Whitaker, and they were collecting around 900 shoes. Then,
Keith Gombash got involved, and
it grew even more.
“He’s a trooper,” Reagan said.
“This year he got 5,400 pairs of
socks donated.
“And our volunteers, they do
this not for any money, but
because they love the Lord and
because they want these shoes
and socks to get to those children,” she said.
Reagan said the local volunteers were told to cut their pickup date off a couple days early,
so there were fears that the collections would be less than normal. But, she said the community came through, and estimated
possibly 3,000 or so shoes were
donated.
She said as many as 30 businesses, churches and other
organizations in Cleveland, and
even some Polk County entities,
set up boxes for shoes. Reagan
said that Southern Heritage
Bank did “an awesome job this
year,” and also pointed out that
the Ocoee Utility District, which
has a small office on U.S.
Highway 64, collected many
more shoes than expected.
“Ocoee (Utilities) and Polk
County have really stepped up
this year, and we appreciate it,”
she said. Reagan noted that
three churches in Polk County
collected shoes and socks and
she hopes that continues, and
increases, in subsequent years.
“These people in Bradley and
Polk counties want these children to have these shoes and
socks. I always stress shoes,
because a child can go to school
wearing the shoes, but just
wearing socks is not what is best
for them,” she said.
Reagan said that having these
shoes will help those traveling to
countries where the children need
them. They will be a very important part of those mission trips.
“We would get to go in and
have Bible school and teach
them about Jesus, and that is
the No. 1 thing,” she said.
Reagan said she has never
been able to travel on the trips
with the donated shoes.
“I would love to just get down
on my knees and wash some little or big kids’ feet, then dry
them, put those socks on and
put those shoes on and then
love them and tell them, ‘Jesus
loves you and Jesus made this
happen,’” she said. “I know one
of the these days the Lord is
going to allow me to go.”
Reagan said no matter how
many shoes are donated, those
the children receive are greatly
appreciated.
“My motto is one pair of shoes
means that one orphan doesn’t
have to go barefoot. One pair of
shoes means that orphan gets a
chance to get out of poverty.
They get to go to school, they get
to get taught, they get the
chance to break that cycle of
poverty,” she said. “And we get
the chance to tell them about
Jesus — that’s the best part.”
Many different companies and
churches were involved in the
drive, and Reagan named several
but was afraid she would leave
out some so she said she would
hate to try to list the participants.
She did want to thank the
teens who came to the boxing
event, most of them coming from
Parkway Baptist Church, and
appreciated their assistance.
“You are never too young to
get involved, and to help others,”
Reagan said. “There are lots of
places that they could be
tonight, but you can see where
they are. They are here helping.”
A more exact total of donated
shoes and socks should be available later, prior to the boxes of
items being taken to
Chattanooga.
WHILE MOST OF THE SHOES donated to the Shoes for Orphan
Souls program were tennis shoes, there were some interesting items
donated, like these boots being held by one of the volunteers at the
boxing event Tuesday night.
Jewish ‘Avengers’ unapologetic for targeting Nazis

Two women on horseback ride near downtown in Norco, Calif.
The Southern California city has rejected plans for a proposed Hindu
cultural center partly because officials say the large, domed building
doesn’t fit in with its Old West-style motif. The decision last month by
the city of Norco has riled some Indian-Americans who say the move
was discriminatory.
Indian-Americans clash with
cowboy town over center
NORCO, Calif. (AP) — The
Southern California city of Norco
markets itself as “Horsetown
USA,” and it’s not unusual for
cowboy hat-wearing residents to
head out for lunch or run
errands on horseback in its Old
West-styled downtown.
Local leaders celebrate that
rural, equestrian lifestyle and are
protective of it. Those who build
must ensure their property
includes Western architectural
features such as a metal roof or
overhang.
But some Indian-Americans
are questioning the sincerity of
that standard after the City
Council rejected a proposal for a
Hindu cultural center on a hilltop
partly on grounds that the large,
domed building wouldn’t fit in.
They think the decision — which
came after residents urged the
city to keep its culture and questioned why proponents chose the
site — is discriminatory.
Dr. Krupali Tejura, a radiation
oncologist who grew up in nearby
Corona and works at an area
hospital, got involved in the
debate because she was offended
by those who argued the center
didn’t fit.
“How does a community or a
city decide it doesn’t fit in with
their lifestyle? How far does this
go?” she asked.
Mayor Kevin Bash rejected that
assertion.
“We turn down a lot of businesses. If they don’t want to
have a Western theme, guess
what? They don’t get built,” he
said, adding the center also was
too big for such a steep lot and
there were drainage concerns.
Norco’s 26,000 residents are
tucked among the vast suburbs
south and east of Los Angeles.
Once overwhelmingly white, the
area has seen a surge in
Hispanics and, more recently,
Asians.
Southern California’s Indian
population is relatively small —
accounting for only 1 percent of
the population in a four countyarea spanning Los Angeles and
its southern and eastern suburbs — and is spread out across
different cities.
But census data show the
community has grown in recent
years, especially in Riverside
County, where Norco is located.
There is a Sikh temple in Norco
inside a grange hall-turnedchurch and a Hindu temple in
the neighboring county, and
Indian movies are shown at a
Corona theater.
The controversy over the proposed cultural center has
focused attention on how Norco
can keep its Western theme and
rural lifestyle while incorporating newcomers, and how those
who arrive in the city can adapt
to their surroundings while
retaining their culture.
Manu Patolia, who proposed
the project, said he is willing to
ditch the domes and revamp the
design of the 25,000-square-foot
Swaminarayan Gurukul center,
which would host Indian lan-
guage classes for children and
yoga for the community at large.
“I went around and took some
pictures in Norco, and I showed
them: Please tell us which one is
the Western one that we can follow,” Patolia said.
Patolia started laying out the
changes for councilmembers but
was told a revised project would
need to go back to city planners
for review. He said he is now
weighing his options for the
property, which he bought in
the hopes of building the center.
City officials said the project
not only lacks Western-styled
architecture but could cause
drainage and parking problems.
They note they’ve pressured
businesses ranging from veterinarians to Bob’s Big Boy —
whose mascot dons a city-funded cowboy hat — to get Western
or get out.
Maintaining that look and feel
is critical to drawing visitors and
investments in horse-related
businesses, Bash said. Its rural
vibe is what drew many residents to the Riverside County
city in the first place. As the
suburbs grew more crowded and
urban, people sought a quieter
place where they could ride
horses and keep chickens in
their backyards.
Bonnie Slager, president of
the
Norco
Horsemen’s
Association, has nine horses
and a rooster on the lot where
she lives. The retired accounting
professor said the Hindu community is welcome but a big
domed building with potential
drainage problems is not.
“Not that things have to look
like a Western fort,” Slager said.
“We just really don’t want things
that are all glass and metal and
look kind of like something from
Disneyland’s Tomorrowland.”
What makes Norco a prime
spot for any community center
or hub is its proximity to freeways that cut across the region.
The Indian-American community’s diverse cultures and religious traditions add to the
demand for centralized locations
where people can congregate,
said Karthick Ramakrishnan,
associate dean of University of
California, Riverside’s School of
Public Policy.
Since the vote, Tejura said
she has been dismayed by residents’
comments
bashing
Hindus in online community
chat groups.
She remembers as a child
being shuttled by her father
more than 20 miles each way to
Indian dance classes and taking
Gujarati language classes in the
back of an area bowling alley.
Virtually the only local restaurant options were burgers and
Mexican food.
Dave Vadodaria, who lives in
nearby Orange County, said the
center would help keep alive
Hindu teachings and culture as
the children of Indian immigrants grow up American. Born
in Uganda, he said, he had to
work to reconnect with his Hindu
culture after attending school in
England.
“People are mingling with different parts of the world. People
are seeing different cultures. You
can’t just close your doors,” said
Vadodaria, who owns an electronics business.
“We are eating fusion food
these days, Indian-Chinese,
Indian
with
American.
Everything is becoming fusion,”
he said. “Why can’t it become a
fusion community?”
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) —
Seventy years after the most
daring attempt of Jewish
Holocaust survivors to seek
revenge against their former
tormentors, the leader of the
plot has only one simple regret
— that to his knowledge he didn’t actually succeed in killing
any Nazis.
Joseph Harmatz is one of the
few
remaining
Jewish
“Avengers” who carried out a
mass poisoning of former SS
men in an American prisonerof-war camp in 1946 that sickened more than 2,200 Germans
but ultimately caused no known
deaths. A recently declassified
U.S. military report obtained by
The Associated Press has only
added to the mystery of why the
brazen operation did not kill
Nazis, because it shows the
amount of arsenic used should
have been fatal to tens of thousands.
Still, the 91-year-old Harmatz
says the message echoed into a
rallying cry for the newborn
state of Israel — that the days
when attacks on Jews went
unanswered were over.
“We didn’t want to come back
(to pre-state Israel) without having done something, and that is
why we were keen,” Harmatz
said in a hoarse, whispery voice
from his apartment in north Tel
Aviv.
Despite a visceral desire for
vengeance, most Holocaust survivors were too weary or devastated to seriously consider it,
after their world was shattered
and 6 million Jews killed during
World War II. For most, merely
rebuilding their lives and starting new families was revenge
enough against a Nazi regime
that aimed to destroy them. For
others, physical retribution ran
counter to Jewish morals and
traditions. For even more, the
whole concept of reprisals
seemed pointless given the
sheer scope of the genocide.
But a group of some 50, most
young men and women who had
already fought in the resistance,
could not let the crimes go
unpunished and actively sought
to exact at least a small measure of revenge. The Nuremberg
trials were prosecuting some top
Nazis, but the Jewish people
had no formal representative.
There was a deep sense of justice denied, as the vast majority
of Nazis immersed themselves
back into a post-war Germany
that was being rebuilt by the
Americans’ Marshall plan.
While there were some isolated acts of Jews harming individual Nazis after the war, the
group, codenamed Nakam,
Hebrew for vengeance, sought a
more comprehensive form of
punishment.
“We didn’t understand why it
shouldn’t be paid back,” said
Harmatz, who was nicknamed
Julek, and lost most of his family in the Holocaust.
So the group set out with a
simple mission.
“Kill Germans,” Harmatz said
flatly.
How many?
“As many as possible,” he
quickly replied.
The first plan of action
described by Harmatz was
audacious. Initiated by the
resistance fighter and noted
Israeli poet Abba Kovner, the
idea was to poison the water
supply of Nuremberg, a plot that
could have potentially killed
hundreds of thousands.
But there were deep reservations even among the Avengers
that such an operation would
kill innocent Germans and
undermine international support for the establishment of
Israel. Either way, when Kovner
sailed for Europe with the poison, he drew suspicion from
British authorities and was
forced to toss it overboard
before he was arrested.
Following that setback, attention shifted toward Plan B, a
more limited operation that
specifically targeted the worst
Nazi perpetrators. Undercover
members of the group found
work at a bakery that supplied
the Stalag 13 POW camp at
Langwasser, near Nuremberg,
and waited for their chance to
strike the thousands of SS men
the Americans held there.
It came on Apr. 13, 1946.
Using poison procured from one
of Kovner’s associates, three
members spent two hours coating some 3,000 loaves of bread
with arsenic, divided into four
portions. The goal was to kill
12,000 SS personnel, and
Harmatz oversaw the operation
from outside the bakery.
While the mass death count of
the first plan would have been
disastrous for the Jewish people, the second’s more direct
route was easier to accept, since
its targets were the worst of the
worst, said Dina Porat, the chief
AP Photo /Tsafrir Abayov
JosePh hArmATz sits during an interview with the Associated Press at his apartment in Tel Aviv,
Israel. Harmatz is one of the few remaining Jewish "Avengers" who carried out a mass poisoning of former SS men in an American prisoner-of-war camp in 1946 after World War II. The poisoning sickened
more than 2,200 Germans but ultimately caused no known deaths.
“The terrible tragedy was about to be forgotten, and if
you don’t punish for one crime, you will get another. This
is what was driving them, not only justice but a warning,
a warning to the world that you cannot hurt Jews in
such a manner and get away with it.”
— Dina Porat
historian at Israel’s Yad Vashem
memorial. She has written a
biography of Kovner and is
about to publish another book
on the Avengers themselves.
“The terrible tragedy was
about to be forgotten, and if you
don’t punish for one crime, you
will get another,” she explained.
“This is what was driving them,
not only justice but a warning, a
warning to the world that you
cannot hurt Jews in such a
manner and get away with it.”
Even if they were ultimately
unsuccessful, she said, the
Avengers’ act was seeped with
symbolism for a burgeoning
state of Israel fighting for its
survival in a hostile region.
“What is Zionism? Zionism is
the Jews taking their fate in
their own hands and not letting
the others dictate our fate,” she
said. “This is what they wanted
to show. You cannot get away
with such a terrible deed.”
Under German regulations,
authorities in Nuremberg later
investigated Harmatz and
Leipke Distal, who worked
undercover in the bakery for
months, after they appeared in
a 1999 television documentary
and revealed details of the operation.
The prosecutors, in the
uncomfortable position of having to investigate Holocaust
survivors trying to kill Nazis,
eventually concluded that even
though there was an attempted
murder they would not file
charges because of the “extraordinary circumstances.”
According to previously classified files from the U.S. military’s Counter Intelligence
Corps, which investigated the
1946 incident and which the
Nuremberg prosecutors did not
have access to, the amount of
arsenic used should have been
enough to cause a massive
number of deaths. The files were
obtained by the AP through a
Freedom of Information Act
request to the National
Archives.
In one memo from 1947
stamped “confidential,” investigators write that at the bakery
they found “three empty hot
water bottles and a burlap bag
containing four full hot water
bottles.” An analysis of the contents “revealed that they contained enough arsenic mixed
with glue and water to kill
approximately 60,000 persons.”
Another confidential report
said a chemist called in to help
in the investigation had determined “10 kilo of pure arsenic
was present, mixed with water
and glue for adhesive purposes.”
Laboratory
investigators
found arsenic on the bottom,
top and sides of the bread, and
reported that doctors said the
SS men exhibited symptoms
“similar to cholera and included
vomiting, diarrhea and skin
rashes.” The report added that
the most amount of arsenic
found on a loaf was 0.2 grams —
which fell well within the range
of 0.1-0.3 grams that would be
‘in most cases lethal.”
To this day, it remains a mystery as to why the poison failed
to kill Nazis. The prevailing theory is that the plotters in their
haste spread the poison too
thinly. Another is that the Nazi
prisoners immediately sensed
something was off with the
bread and therefore no one
ingested enough of it to die.
After the attack, Harmatz,
Distal and others had to flee
quickly. At the border of
Czechoslovakia they were met
by Yehuda Maimon, an
Auschwitz survivor from Poland
who lost his parents in the
camps and decided to join
Nakam shortly after escaping a
death march. He was responsible for smuggling the group out
safely and bribing officials at
the border. From there, they
slipped into Italy before migrating for good to the Holy Land.
From the retirement home
outside Tel Aviv where his
grandchildren frequently visit
him, the 92-year-old Maimon,
who goes by the nickname
Poldek, fixes a steely gaze with
his piercing blue eyes. He looks
back with satisfaction at carrying out his “duty” for revenge
before starting anew in Israel.
“It was imperative to form this
group. If I am proud of something it is that I belonged to this
group,” he said. “Heaven forbid
if after the war we had just gone
back to the routine without
thinking about paying those
bastards back. It would have
been awful not to respond to
those animals.”

3 found dead inside Clayton
County apartment
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) —
Authorities say three people
have been found shot dead
inside an apartment in suburban Atlanta.
News outlets report that
police say the bodies were discovered Tuesday evening inside
a home at the Lakeview Trails
Apartments in Clayton County.
Clayton County Police Deputy
Chief Michael Register says
authorities were first called to
the scene for a report of a
domestic dispute.
Officers left after no one
answered the door. A couple of
hours later, officers were called
back out to the apartment by
family members who found the
three bodies.
Police say all three victims
appeared to have died from gunshot wounds. Their names have
not yet been released.
Register says that drug paraphernalia was also found inside
the apartment.
It is unclear what led to the
slayings.
Deadly chase with deaf man
reached 100 mph, included crash
(AP) — A deaf driver shot to
death by a North Carolina state
trooper drove up to 100 mph
during the chase and didn’t stop
even after the officer intentionally wrecked his vehicle, according to police radio traffic
released Tuesday.
The conversation between
Trooper Jermaine Saunders and
the dispatcher does not include
any
interaction
between
Saunders and Daniel Harris.
Saunders also doesn’t say why
he shot Harris when he turned
down the road leading to his
Charlotte home, jumped out of
the car and ran.
Saunders tried to pull Harris
over after clocking him going 88
mph in a 70 mph zone on
Interstate 485 around 6:15 p.m.
Aug. 18, according to the radio
traffic.
Saunders chased Harris
about 6 miles down the interstate with his lights on, reporting his speed at 100 mph, then
90 mph, before ramming Harris’
car with his cruiser to try and
end the chase before Harris left
the highway.
Saunders quickly radioed that
Harris drove off. Officers are
then heard discussing creating
a rolling roadblock to box
Harris’ car in on the two-lane
road he was driving, but Harris
made it to Seven Oaks Drive
where he lived with his family.
The
chase
ends
with
Saunders reporting a “jump and
run” and then repeating “shots
fired” several times before saying “I’ve got one person down.”
The
State
Bureau
of
Investigation is investigating.
Saunders has been placed on
administrative leave with pay.
Alabama officials testing 540
Hyundai workers for TB
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) —
An Alabama public health official says 540 workers are being
tested for possible tuberculosis
infection at the Hyundai automobile
plant
outside
Montgomery.
The tests and evaluations
Tuesday came after an employee
at the plant was confirmed to
have pulmonary tuberculosis.
Pam Barrett of the Alabama
Department of Public Health
says only co-workers who were
in close contact to the infected
employee were being tested.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is an
airborne disease that can be
spread when someone coughs or
even speaks. Symptoms include
a bad cough and chest pains.
Tuberculosis is treatable, but in
rare cases it can be deadly.
Hyundai
Motor
Manufacturing
Alabama
spokesman Robert Burns told
the Montgomery Advertiser that
workers were told about the
tests Monday and the plant was
cooperating with health officials.
Agriculture closes offices
in 5 states after threats
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Agriculture Department said
Tuesday it had closed offices in
five states after receiving anonymous threats that it considered
serious.
USDA spokesman Matthew
Herrick said in a statement that
the department had received
“several anonymous messages”
late Monday that raised concerns about the safety of USDA
personnel and facilities. He said
six offices were closed Tuesday
morning until further notice.
Herrick said the department
is working with the FBI and federal and local law enforcement
to determine whether the
threats are credible.
In an email to employees,
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack said USDA is closing the
offices “due to the serious
nature of these threats.” He did
not characterize the threats or
say how they were received, but
asked employees to be aware of
their surroundings and report
any suspicious activity.
White House Spokesman Josh
Earnest said the Department of
Homeland Security is working
with USDA “to ensure the safety
of their offices and the personnel that work there.”
The closed facilities are in
Fort Collins, Colorado; Hamden,
Connecticut;
Beltsville,
Maryland;
Raleigh,
North
Carolina; Kearneysville, West
Virginia and Leetown, West
Virginia.
They include offices for eight
USDA agencies, including the
Forest Service and the Food
Safety and Inspection Service.
Among the sites affected was
USDA’s sprawling agricultural
research center and library in
Beltsville, where employees were
informed of the threat Tuesday
morning and sent home.
Bentley appeals refugee
lawsuit dismissal
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) —
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley is
appealing the dismissal of the
state’s lawsuit against the federal government over refugee
placement.
The governor’s office said the
appeal was filed Tuesday with
the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Atlanta.
Bentley in January asked a
federal judge to block refugees
from coming to the state unless
federal officials provided a full
background check and medical
information on each refugee. A
magistrate judge said that there
was “nothing in the Refugee
Act” that required federal officials to give states that information.
A judge dismissed a similar
Texas lawsuit, ruling states had
no authority over resettlements
handled by the federal government.
Parent: Teacher threw daughter’s
shoes into the trash
SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. (AP) —
South Carolina school officials
are investigating after a parent
accused a teacher of throwing
away her 6-year-old daughter’s
shoes and making her walk
around barefoot.
The child’s mother, Chartrese
Edwards, tells WSPA-TV that
the incident happened last week
at
Simpsonville’s
Bryson
Elementary School.
Edwards says her daughter
told her the unidentified teacher
had thrown away her shoes
after repeatedly asking the child
to stop messing with them in
class. The girl says the strap
was bothering her.
The child said she was
embarrassed after having to
walk around barefoot before the
teacher told her to retrieve her
shoes from the trash and put
them back on.
Greenville County Schools
District said in a statement that
it doesn’t tolerate embarrassment or humiliation as a form of
punishment and is investigating
the matter.
Man uses sledgehammer
to rescue baby from hot car
HOWELL, N.J. (AP) — Police
say a man used a sledgehammer
to rescue a baby from a hot car
at a New Jersey shopping center.
Police say 53-year-old Steve
Eckel of Jackson and 30-yearold Sarah Mazzone of Howell on
Tuesday saw the 4-month-old
girl crying and sweating alone
inside the vehicle, which was
locked and its windows closed.
Temperatures were in the upper
80s.
Eckel broke the front passenger window, and Mazzone carried the infant into an air-conditioned store.
The
child’s
mother
approached the vehicle in a
panic and police determined the
baby was left in the vehicle for
about 40 minutes.
Police charged 33-year-old
Karen Gruen of Lakewood with
child endangerment. It’s not
known if she has a lawyer.
Police say the baby appeared
fine after she cooled down.
Judge to weigh objections to
closed church shooting hearing
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A
federal judge in South Carolina
will hear objections from news
organizations to closing a hearing in the Charleston church
shootings trial.
The defense wants to keep
some evidence out of Dylann
Roof’s federal death penalty trial
on hate crimes and other counts
stemming from the June 2015
assault that killed nine black
parishioners at Emanuel AME
Church.
U.S. District Judge Richard
Gergel has proposed reviewing
the evidence this week in a
closed hearing saying that
revealing it beforehand could
interfere with seating an impartial jury.
On Wednesday he hears
objections from attorneys representing The Post and Courier
newspaper and WCBD-TV.
Attorney Jay Bender represents the newspaper and says
that instead of closing the hearing, the evidence issue can be
handled by close questioning of
potential jurors before the trial
that begins in November.
24 heroin overdoses reported
in 1 day in Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —
Public health officials in
Louisville are warning of a spike
in heroin overdoses in the city.
According to WDRB-TV, officials at Norton Hospital say
there were at least 24 confirmed
overdose cases in Louisville on
Tuesday.
Dr. Robert Couch, an emergency physician at Norton, said
at a news conference that he
saw eight overdose patients
within five hours.
He calls it a “public health
emergency,” saying the heroin
on the street seems to be
unusually potent. He says
patients taking what would usually be a small amount are losing consciousness.
Couch says larger doses of
naloxone, a widely available
overdose antidote that many
first responders carry, are needed to reverse the drug’s effect.
The announcement comes
after recent overdose spikes in
communities in the neighboring
states of Indiana, Ohio and West
Virginia.
employee of the Manhattan
Kayak Company suffered the
most serious injury, his arm
was partially severed.
“His bone was exposed. He
had lost a lot of blood and he
was lapsing in and out of consciousness,” said Driscoll.
Authorities credited quick
action by New York Police
Department Officer Tommy Le
with possibly saving the man’s
life. The man was listed in stable condition late Thursday at a
hospital.
“He was lying on top of the
kayak and there was a pool of
blood,” said Le, who applied a
tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
Authorities do not yet know
what caused the crash, but said
they were investigating whether
sun glare played a role.
Woman sets herself on fire in
Chicago congressman’s office
CHICAGO (AP) — Police say a
woman walked into U.S. Rep.
Danny
Davis’
office
on
Chicago’s West Side, drank out
of a bottle of hand sanitizer,
poured the sanitizer over herself
and set herself on fire with a
lighter.
Authorities haven’t identified
the woman who was taken to a
hospital in serious condition
with burns. Police say her condition has stabilized.
Davis wasn’t in the office at
the time.
A news release from Davis’
office says the woman came in
around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Davis says he doesn’t know
why. He says the woman only
spoke with office staff briefly
before picking up the hand sanitizer. Staff responded with a fire
extinguisher, but the woman
ran out while still on fire.
Davis is a Democrat who was
first elected in 1996.
Believed python perplexing
Maine city actually an anaconda
WESTBROOK, Maine (AP) —
Wessie P. Thon might actually
be Wessie A. Conda.
A Texas scientist who ran
tests on a large snake skin
found in the Maine city of
Westbrook says Tuesday the
tests came back as “100 percent
from anaconda.”
A big snake caused a stir in
Maine when it was seen this
summer eating a beaver along a
riverbank. The discovery of a
10-foot snakeskin this month
indicates it’s still lurking locally.
Locals dubbed it Wessie. That
spawned a parody Twitter
account called Wessie P. Thon.
University of Texas at Tyler
biologist John Placyk (play-SIK’)
performed the skin test. He
says Wessie’s behavior corresponds with that of an anaconda. He’s says it’s possibly an
escaped pet.
The Wessie Twitter account
tweeted Tuesday that the news
was causing “a mid-life crisis”
for the reptile.
Cops: Man killed neighbor after
she put kids on school bus
HOLLAND, Ohio (AP) —
Authorities in Ohio say a man
shot and killed one of his neighbors and injured another just
after they put their children on
a school bus. They say he then
set fire to their home and shot
himself.
The suspect’s girlfriend told
media outlets in Toledo that she
saw him shoot the couple
Tuesday before he shot himself
in the head.
A coroner says a woman was
pronounced dead a few hours
later. The shooter’s condition
wasn’t clear.
Authorities say there had
been an ongoing dispute for several months between several
neighbors on the street.
The Lucas County sheriff’s
office says the couple was found
shot near the bus stop in the village of Holland.
The fire apparently was extinguished within an hour of a 911
call about the shooting.
Corrections officer charged in
death of K-9 left in hot car
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — A
Pennsylvania corrections officer
has been charged after a drugdetecting police dog in his care
died last month after it was left
in a hot vehicle for 2½ hours
during a training exercise.
State police said Tuesday that
Sgt. Chad Holland has been
charged with animal cruelty in
the July 7 death of 2-year-old
Totti at the state prison at
Rockview near Bellefonte in
Centre County.
PennLive.com reports dog
handlers tried to cool the yellow
Labrador with a water hose and
ice after they realized he was
locked in the car, but the dog
later died.
An online petition urging the
Department of Corrections to
fire Holland was started after
the dog’s death.
It’s unclear if he has an attorney who can comment on the
charges.
Arrests made near scene of
Milwaukee police shooting
MILWAUKEE (AP) — About 10
people have been arrested in
Milwaukee after dozens gathered near where a black man
was fatally shot by police earlier
this month.
Sgt. Timothy Gauerke said in
a statement Tuesday night that
Milwaukee police received complaints about crowds gathering
in the Sherman Park neighborhood where Sylville Smith was
killed Aug. 13, sparking two
nights of violence.
Gauerke’s statement didn’t
elaborate about why the crowd
had gathered. The Milwaukee
County Sheriff’s Department
said in a statement that neighbors complained about a rowdy
group “doing drugs and disturbing their neighborhood,” according to the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel.
Gauerke says police asked
between 30 to 40 people to disperse. When some refused,
police made arrests for disorderly conduct and resisting an
officer.
The state Department of
Justice is investigating Smith’s
shooting. Police say he turned
toward an officer with a gun in
hand before he was shot.

NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities

Court: Gays can seek
parental rights for
nonbiological kids
tionship ended.
“We have seen a trail of tears in
New York involving these types of
situations,” said Susan Sommer,
senior counsel at Lambda Legal
who worked on the case on
behalf of one of the women seeking parental rights. “Until now,
the court’s hands were tied. This
allows a far more humane New
York.”
The ruling will also apply to
heterosexual, unmarried couples
— meaning an ex-partner could
petition for visitation or custody
of a child created through artificial insemination if they can
show they and their former partner intended to co-parent the
child.
Sommer’s client, identified in
the court papers by the name
and initials Brooke S.B., began a
relationship with her ex-partner
in 2006 and the two soon
planned to have a child through
artificial insemination. In 2009,
Brooke’s partner delivered a baby
boy, who was given Brooke’s last
name and raised jointly by the
two women until 2010, when the
relationship ended. Brooke was
allowed to regularly see the child
until 2013, when Brooke’s expartner ended the visits. Lower
courts had ruled that Brooke had
no right to custody or visitation
because there was no biological
or adoptive relationship.
In the other case, the two
women agreed to have a child
and raise her jointly before
breaking up. The child remained
with the birth mother while the
two women filed legal actions
over child support and visitation.
Christopher Chimeri, the
attorney for the birth mother in
the second case, said that while
his client is personally disappointed, she accepts the decision.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New
York’s highest court expanded
the definition of parenthood
Tuesday by ruling that former
same-sex couples may seek visitation and custody of children
even when they aren’t the biological or adoptive parent.
The Court of Appeals decision
resolves two cases of former
unmarried same-sex couples in
which the biological mothers kept
the children and their ex-partners sought legal standing to see
them. In one case, lower courts
ruled the ex-partner had no
standing. In the other, the expartner pays child support and
was later granted visitation.
A 25-year-old definition of parenthood required a person seeking custody or visitation to have a
biological or adoptive connection
to the child. In its decision, the
court said the standard had
become “unworkable” in light of
society’s “increasingly varied
familial relationships.”
“Where a partner shows by
clear and convincing evidence
that the parties agreed to conceive a child and to raise the
child together, the non-biological,
non-adoptive partner has standing to seek visitation and custody
under Domestic Relations Law,”
reads the opinion written by
Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam.
New York began recognizing
same-sex marriages in 2011, and
children born into a marriage are
considered the children of both
parents. But the law was far
murkier when it came to samesex couples who had a child
before the law was enacted — or
who have foregone marriage.
Same-sex partners often found it
impossible to seek visitation or
custody of a non-biological child
they had not adopted if the rela-

Feds to distribute $53M to states to fight opioids
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Obama administration says it will
distribute $53 million to 44 states
in an effort to curb opioid abuse.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Sylvia Burwell says the
funding will focus on reducing
over-prescribing of pain killers,
increasing access to treatment
and making sure the antidote
naloxone is widely available.
The administration is also call-
ing on Congress to provide $1.1
billion in new money, saying legislation recently signed into law
didn’t do enough to expand treatment. That bill authorized $181
million in new spending.
Steve Williams, the mayor of
Huntington, West Virginia, said in
a conference call announcing the
funding that opioid abuse is so
common he carries an overdose
reversal kit with him.

No. 9 Vols say depth on defense will help preserve leads
AP photo
TENNEssEE is hoping to
rotate about six defensive ends,
which should prevent the Vols
from relying too heavily on Derek
Barnett.
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee believes
its defense has the depth that can enable
the Volunteers to avoid the blown leads
that haunted them in each of their losses
last year.
The depth is most notable up front,
where the ninth-ranked Volunteers have
accumulated so much talent that former
five-star recruits haven’t been able to work
their way atop the depth chart. Tennessee
opens the season Thursday by hosting
Appalachian State.
“Honestly, this is the most depth (at
defensive end) we’ve ever had since I’ve
been here personally,” senior defensive end
Corey Vereen said. “I’m not used to this.”
The Volunteers went 9-4 last season but
led in each game they lost. They were up at
least 13 points in losses to Oklahoma,
Florida and Arkansas. They fell to eventual
national champion Alabama by giving up a
go-ahead touchdown with 2:24 remaining.
Tennessee outscored teams 378-173 in
the first three periods but was outscored
87-79 in the fourth quarter and overtime.
“There have been times where we’ve had
guys out there who had already played 60
snaps,” defensive line coach Steve Stripling
said. “It’s hard to (have) what we term as
Superman efforts, closing a drive out, a
two-minute drive, making those efforts and
plays, that’s hard to do if you’ve been out
there 60 snaps.”
That shouldn’t be an issue this season.
Tennessee believes it has the elements in
place to be “dominant and disruptive,” the
buzzwords new defensive coordinator Bob
Shoop has consistently used to describe
his ideal defense since arriving from Penn
State.
“We’re deeper here at d-end than I’ve
probably been anywhere,” Shoop said.
The Vols’ depth is evident from a look at
some of the players who aren’t expected to
start Thursday’s opener. Defensive tackle
Kahlil McKenzie was rated as the nation’s
No. 1 recruit in his class by Scout in 2015,
yet he’s still listed as a second-teamer
behind senior Danny O’Brien and junior
Kendal Vickers. Sophomore defensive end
Kyle Phillips, a former five-star prospect,
isn’t on the first team or second team.
Both guys are still expected to play
Thursday. Tennessee is hoping to rotate
about six defensive ends into the game at
various points, which should prevent the
Vols from overworking anyone and relying
too heavily on defensive end Derek
Barnett, who has recorded 10 sacks each
of the last two seasons.
“This rotation we’re talking about is
going to put us in better position to close
games,” Stripling said.
Tennessee also is bullish on the rest of
its defense.
The linebacker corps features returning
starters Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Darrin
Kirkland Jr. Cornerback Cam Sutton,
entering his fourth year as a starter, headlines a secondary that features plenty of
guys versatile enough to play multiple
positions.
The Vols built their depth on defense by
signing two straight recruiting classes that
had consensus top-five rankings. The second of those classes arrived in 2015, which
means all those recruits have now been on
campus at least one year.
Tennessee also has received a boost this
year from the returns of Phillips, tackle
Shy Tuttle and defensive back Rashaan
Gaulden from injuries that caused them to

Bearettes come up short
against Lady Hurricanes
By SARALYN NORKUS
Banner Sports Writer
After coming away from their
weekend trip to Knoxville as the
Blood:Water tournament champions, Bradley Central had hopes
that the confidence boost would
show up on the
scoreboard
against
East
H a m i l t o n
Tuesday night.
Unfortunately,
the Bearettes’
District 5-AAA
opponent got the
better of them in
a 3-0 game.
“I think we knew that we were
going into another level of play,”
Bradley coach Chrissy McKinney
said. “For the most part, I’m really proud of the effort and the
unity that we showed.”
While in Knoxville, the Bearettes
played without one of their
stronger players, Anna Stouffer,
who was sick. Their coach felt their
confidence from that fact showed
in Tuesday’s game.
“We had to rally and do that
together. What I saw coming into
this game that the weekend
helped us with was their confidence, that everyone is as important as the other,” McKinney
explained. “I saw that from the
girls, I saw them really slowing
the ball down, trying to work it
around. I’m really pleased actually with the result, because I know
it could have been worse.”
East Hamilton scored two
goals in quick succession in the
first half, with their first goal
coming in the ninth minute and
the second following in the 10th.
After taking a
2-0 lead into
halftime,
the
Lady Hurricanes
were able to capitalize
on
a
Bearette
error
and score just 45
seconds into the
second half.
“That last goal was our error,
an oops I touched the ball and
now she can’t pick it up, so they
took advantage of that. (Other
than that), I think they did a really good job of trying to keep
everything out of our box, together,” McKinney explained.
Bradley’s varsity team has the
rest of the week off and will travel
to Walker Valley on Sept. 6. The
Bearettes and the Lady Mustangs
are no strangers, which will make
the District 5-AAA meeting even
more exciting.
“They are coming back the district champs, and we know their
strengths because we grew up
with those girls — I have lots that
played with them in the offseason
or in middle school,” McKinney
said.
Chubb ready
to go for No.

BRADLEY CENTRAL’s Reagan Harrold keeps the ball away
from an East Hamilton player during Tuesday’s District 5-AAA
matchup at Bradley.
Despite trailing just twice, after the opening
point of the first two sets, Cleveland High’s
sweep of East Hamilton Tuesday evening sounds
dominating, but in fact the Lady Raider victory
was a bit of a roller-coaster ride.
“We had moments where we played really well
and made some good runs, but then we had
moments where we got complacent and let them
(EH) come back on us,” assessed Cleveland head
coach Patricia Flowers of the 25-20, 25-21, 2517 tally.
“We had to earn the wins. Until we learn to
compete on every point, we’re not going to be
able to reach our goals for the postseason,” she
added. “We are passing the ball well, but we
need to create more points from them.”
Now 9-3 on the season and a perfect 4-0 in
district play, the Lady Raiders will make the
long trip to Soddy-Daisy Thursday evening.
Now just 1-3 in 5-AAA play, the Lady Trojans
are coming off a 3-1 loss to Walker Valley
Tuesday night.
Coach Judy Pruett’s Lady Mustangs are now
3-1 in district play after bouncing back from an
opening set 25-13 loss to win three straight —
25-13, 25-19, 25-18 — to claim the match.
Walker Valley will be back in action this
evening at “The Stable,” when 5-AAA powerhouse Ooltewah (10-4, 4-0) comes calling. The
varsity match will begin at 6 p.m.
After giving away the night’s opening point on
an unforced error, Cleveland took control after a
block by senior Morgan Moffett, a spike by junior Emma Flowers and an ace by sophomore
Anna Renshaw.
The Lady Raiders stretched their advantage to
9-2 and then 20-10 before the wheels fell off for
a spurt.
East Hamilton (1-3 in district play) ran off
seven straight points and was able to pull within
22-20 before Cleveland regained the serve and
sealed the first set on a kill by senior Amber
Morman and a block by classmate Regan Fuller.
Game 2 was a repeat of the opener, with the
hosts racing out to a 17-4 edge that included

Lady Mustangs defeat Tribe in penalty kicks
From Staff Reports
ATHENS — The Walker Valley
Lady Mustangs defeated the
McMinn County Lady Cherokees
Tuesday night for the first time
ever in regular season play.
After playing 100 minutes on
the pitch, the game was ultimately decided by penalty kicks,
and Walker Valley came away
with the 5-3 advantage.
“What a game,” declared
Walker Valley coach Nathan
Brown. “It was the most entertaining soccer game I have seen
in a long time — eight goals in
regular play.”
“Morgan Watson came up with
some huge saves to keep us in
the game, our defensive players
made some great tackles, and
obviously having our offense
score four goals against quality
opposition is a great thing.”
The Lady Mustangs got off to a
good start with Lauren Caylor
scoring with an assist from Mya
Patel.
According to Brown, when his
team started to “relax and take
their foot off the gas,” the Lady
Cherokees were able to come
back and score two quick goals,
from Breanna Gable and Morgan
Hutchinson.
Taylor Ellis stepped up and
tied the game up at 2-all, which
held into halftime.
In the second half Ellis once
again came up big for her team,
with what Brown referred to as a
“magical goal,” to give Walker
Valley a 3-2 lead over McMinn.
With 15 minutes left in the
game, Gable fired back to once
again tie it, this time at 3-3.
The Tribe took a 4-3 lead
thanks to a goal from Kabrina
Pascerla with four minutes left
in regulation. Not ready to concede defeat to McMinn, Kendall
Harris made a run down the left
side and switched the ball to
Patel, who scored with 3:12 left
on the clock.
Having played a full 80 minutes, the game went to overtime
with two 10-minute “golden
goal” periods. The teams went
back and forth throughout the
golden goal periods, but neither
was able to score.
In the PK shootout Patel, Ellis,
Jade Mayo, Summer Kile and
Harris were all able to beat the
Lady Cherokee goalkeeper to
snag the win. Senior keeper
Morgan Watson helped ensure
the win by giving up only three

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Less than
a year after a gruesome knee
injury, Nick Chubb is ready to
run again for the Georgia
Bulldogs.
His teammates expected nothing less.
“It was pretty frightening when
it happened,” center Brandon
Kublanow said. “But I know Nick.
He’s an incredibly hard worker.
So there was no doubt in my
mind that he’d be ready to go.”
Chubb was one of the nation’s
top running backs and being
touted as a Heisman Trophy contender when his sophomore season suddenly ended during an
Oct. 10 game at Tennessee.
This wasn’t just any injury,
either.
While being tackled along the
sideline, Chubb’s left knee buckled grotesquely in the wrong
direction. When video of the
injury was posted on Internet, it
usually came with a warning
label.
Chubb tore several ligaments,
leaving some to speculate that it
could be career-ending injury. If
nothing else, there seemed little
chance he’d be back on the field
some 11 months later.
But Chubb has defied the odds
every step of the way. And, from
all indications, he’ll be in a leading role Saturday when the No. 18
Bulldogs open the season against
No. 22 North Carolina in the
Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the
Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
“He’s even more physical than
he was before,” defensive tackle
DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle said.
“Nick Chubb has always been a
hard runner, but now he’s an
even harder runner.”
New coach Kirby Smart said
Chubb will play against the Tar
Heels, with no limitations on the
number of carries he might get or
how many hits he can take.
“He feels great,” Smart said.
“He’s ready to go.”
Chubb’s recovery is especially
timely for the Bulldogs, who have
taken some additional hits at
running back.
Sony Michel, who took over as
the starter when Chubb went
down, sustained a broken left
forearm in an ATV crash in early
July and still had not been
cleared for full-contact drills coming into this week. Freshman

Attention to detail has a rookie
receiver starting for the Titans

TITANs wide receiver Tajae
Sharpe reaches for a pass during
training camp, in Nashville. The
rookie led the nation in receptions
last
season
at
Massachusetts and will start for
Tennessee, despite not being
picked until the fifth round.
NASHVILLE (AP) — Marcus
Mariota says he probably
wouldn’t throw the ball again in
the same situation, not after seeing how close his pass came to
being intercepted.
Luckily, Tennessee rookie
Tajae Sharpe’s focus never
wavered.
Instead, Sharpe caught the
pass that Oakland cornerback
Sean Smith just missed and finished off a 60-yard run in what
Titans coach Mike Mularkey
called a very impressive play.
“He doesn’t know if the guy’s
cutting in front of him, or he’s
about to take his head off,”
Mularkey said.
“So to sit there and concentrate
on the football coming to you
when you probably don’t have
good vision on it is very impressive on his part.”
That kind of attention to detail
is what has turned a fifth-round
draft pick out of Massachusetts
into a receiver likely to start his
first NFL game Sept. 11 when the
Titans host the Minnesota
Vikings in their season opener.
Not bad for a wide receiver
whose small hands helped drop
him further than Sharpe thought
he should be drafted.
Leading the Football Bowl
Subdivision with 111 catches last
season couldn’t help the 6-foot-2,
194-pound Sharpe improve his
draft status past 104th overall
despite playing at the same
school that produced Giants wide

Teheran gets rare run
support to beat Padres
ATLANTA (AP) — Julio Teheran
never imagined it would take this
long to win a game at home.
“It sounds weird to say it’s my
first win at home at almost the
end of the August, but it is what
it is,” he said. “I’m glad I got it
today. I pitched a great game.”
Teheran won for the first time
in nine starts, rookie Dansby
Swanson drove in three runs and
the Atlanta Braves beat the San
Diego Padres 7-3 on Tuesday
night.
Teheran began the night with
the lowest run support in the
major leagues, but the two-time
All-Star used a rare offensive
outburst by Atlanta to earn his
first home victory since last Oct.
2, a span of 14 starts.
Interim manager Brian Snitker
appreciated Teheran’s steady
demeanor during the long
drought, particularly in not complaining when his teammates
couldn’t score runs.
The Braves averaged just 2.9
runs of support in Teheran’s first
23 starts.
“It’s unbelievable,” Snitker
said. “He’s one of those pros.
He’s our guy that people look to.
I like those guys that pitch every
inning as their single, little entity. He’s trying to win that
inning.”
The Braves, who rank last in
runs, used six hits to take a 5-0
lead off journeyman Edwin
Jackson in a five-run third.
Adonis Garcia, Freddie Freeman,
Jace Peterson and Swanson had
RBI singles. Tyler Flowers added
a sacrifice fly.
Teheran (4-9) allowed six hits
and two runs and struck out
eight in seven innings. The
Braves’ ace returned from the
disabled list two weeks ago after
missing 26 games with a right lat
strain. He gave up nine runs in
11 innings over his last two
starts.
Jackson (3-5) allowed seven
hits, five runs and three walks in
2 2/3 innings. The 14-year veteran, pitching for his 11th team,
has a 6.34 ERA in eight starts
and has given up 18 earned runs
in his last 11 2/3 innings.

AtlAntA’S tyler FlowerS hits a sacrifice fly to right field in
the third inning Tuesday against the San Diego Padres, in Atlanta.
“Coming out of the bullpen, I
had no clue the game would be
like it was tonight,” Jackson
said. “I felt pretty good and it didn’t transition over into the game.”
Swanson, the first overall pick in
the 2015 draft, had a two-run double in the fifth off Carlos Villanueva
to put the Braves up 7-2.
Teheran was coming off his
worst start of the season when he
allowed 11 hits and six runs in
six innings of a no decision at
Arizona last Wednesday.
His only mistake was a fastball
that Oswaldo Arcia hit for his
first homer with San Diego, and
seventh overall, to cut the lead to
5-2 in the fourth.
“A couple of games I didn’t
have my best stuff, but I battled
and I’ve been working in the
bullpen like I was at the begin-
ning of the year,” Teheran said.
“I’m glad I did today what I
could.”
The Braves improved to 20-44
at home, worst in the majors.
Travis Jankowski easily stole
his 29th base in the fifth, dropping catcher Flowers to 1 for 41
in caught-stealing attempts.
The Braves recalled RHPs Shae
Simmons and John Gant from
Triple-A Gwinnett, placing RHP
Arodys Vizcaino on the 15-day
disabled list with right shoulder
inflammation and optioning RHP
Brandon Cunniff to Gwinnett.
UP NEXT
Padres: RHP Paul Clemens (23) will face Atlanta for the first
time.
Braves: RHP Matt Wisler (5-11)
is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA in one
career start against San Diego.
Tebow shows power in MLB workout
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tim
Tebow crushed a batting-practice fastball with a confident lefthanded swing, sending it into the
trees next to the scoreboard
beyond right field.
The Heisman Trophy-winning
quarterback only paused an
instant to appreciate his shot,
and then he went right back to
work on the unlikely next chapter in his unique athletic story.
Tebow took his first big swings
at a baseball career Tuesday,
showing off a powerful bat and
other developing skills during a
workout in front of dozens of
major league scouts and
reporters.
The 29-year-old aspiring outfielder went through drills at the
University
of
Southern
California’s Dedeaux Field for
over an hour, confidently chasing
a dream deferred for 12 years.
Declaring his football career
essentially over, Tebow insists he
is serious about becoming more
than a baseball curiosity.
“The goal would be to have a
career in the big leagues,” Tebow
said. “I just want to be someone
to pursue what I believe in, what
I’m passionate about. A lot of
people will say, ‘But what if you
fail? What if you don’t make it?’
Guess what? I don’t have to live
with regret. I did everything I
could. I pushed it. I would rather
be someone that could live with
peace and no regret than what-if,
or being scared.”
Tebow’s heavily muscled, 255pound physique and 6.70-ish
time in the 60-yard dash were
impressive to the scouts. He also
showed undeniable hitting ability
with a series of line drives and
long homers during batting practice.
But Tebow also showed he still
needs baseball seasoning when
he faced live pitching from former big-leaguers David Aardsma
and Chad Smith, who repeatedly
fooled him with off-speed pitches. Tebow could only grin in frustration after he fanned on a
series of changeups and breaking balls.
“There is 100 percent nerves,
no question about it,” Tebow
said. “When you’re at the combine or a pro day, you have your
body of work for four years,
everything that you did, so it’s
not just that one day. Here, you
might have seen me when I was
17, but you haven’t seen me
since. A lot goes into it, so you’d
better show something. A lot of
nerves, a lot of pressure, for
sure.”
Tebow hasn’t played baseball
regularly since his junior year at
Nease High School in Ponte
Vedra, Florida. He left early to
enroll at Florida, beginning a
fabled college football career that
led to the 2007 Heisman and two
national titles for the Gators.
But 12 years ago, Tebow was a
.494-hitting, all-county outfielder who loved hitting a baseball
every bit as much as he loved
leading a huddle.
“The second-hardest decision I
ever made was giving up baseball
to go to the University of Florida
and play football,” said Tebow,
whose choice of Florida over
Alabama was the toughest.
AP photo
Former quArterbAck Tim Tebow takes batting practice for
baseball scouts and the media during a showcase on the campus of
the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. The Heisman
Trophy winner worked out for a big gathering of scouts Tuesday, in
an attempt to start a career in a sport he hasn’t played regularly since
high school.
“There wasn’t a season that went
by that it wasn’t something that I
thought about. When I felt like I
had this opportunity, I wanted to
take it and pursue it with everything I had.”
A few big-league teams talked
privately with Tebow after the
workout, and he seems unlikely
to have trouble finding an organization willing to give a chance to
a celebrity with clear baseball
ability, however rudimentary.
Tebow realizes he is still far
from the big leagues, but he
hopes to play in the instructional
league in Arizona next month
before heading into winter league
ball, perhaps even in Latin
America.
Tebow decided to pursue his
baseball aspirations in earnest
three months ago. He began
training at a baseball school in
Arizona run by Chad Moeller.
The former big-league catcher
saw daily improvements in
Tebow, from his bat speed to his
mental game.
“If I’m a team, I’m signing
him,” Moeller said. “I’m taking
him to instructional ball. I’d get
him to the Arizona Fall League
and get him matched up against
some good arms and see what
happens. I don’t think this is one
you’re going to take your time on,
because he’s not a young kid. So
you’re going to push him. For
him and for the teams, I thought
if he goes out and performs the
way he could and is capable of,
you could see it in a year, a year
and a half, definitely in the big
leagues.”
Tebow hasn’t played in the
NFL since 2012, becoming a
broadcaster
and
resisting
attempts to move him to another
football position as his quarterback career evaporated. Even
while he got an extended look
last year from the Philadelphia
Eagles, who cut him after the
preseason, Tebow said his mind
already had wandered back to
baseball.
“It’s not about publicity,”
Tebow said. “It’s definitely not
about money. It’s a pay cut to do
this. Just pursue what you love,
right? Regardless of what else
happens. Regardless of if you
fail, or if you fall on your face. If
that’s the worst thing that can
happen, that’s OK. When did
that become such a bad thing?
When did pursuing what you
love become a bad thing, regardless of the result? For me, yeah,
I’ll make all the sacrifices to be
the best I can.”

back-to-back aces by senior
libero Lauren Lee and an eightpoint service run by the younger
Flowers that included a trio of
kills by Morman.
After a short 5-1 Hurricane
run cut the lead deficit in half,
the visitors rolled off nine
straight points and eventually
cut the difference to 21-20 before
the Lady Raiders woke up behind
four kills by Flowers in the final
five points to win the second set.
Flowers continued her powerhitting display, opening the third
set with a half dozen spikes in
the first nine points, as the Lady
Raiders raced out to an 18-9
edge.
East Hamilton made a 5-2 run,
but that was as close as it would
come with Cleveland closing out
the sweep with a 5-3 spurt of its
own as Flowers put the cap on
the victory with her 23rd kill of
the night.
“Emma continues to hit the
ball well and we had a great night
from Amber Morman with seven
kills, three blocks and no errors,”
praised Coach Flowers. “Lauren
Lee had 22 digs and had a big
night, plus Hannah Longley
deserves a shout-out for a very
good job for us.”
The younger Flowers had 11
digs, a half dozen assists and 14
service points in the victory.
Lee served up 11 winners,
including her pair of aces to go
with 23 service receptions.
Longley helped out with seven
service points, seven receptions
and a half dozen digs.
Renshaw dished out 18
assists, returned 13 serves, plus
powered five kills, while Fuller
had 16 service points and five
digs.
Over in Soddy-Daisy Tuesday,
Hannah Grace Moore had a big
night with 40 overall points, 24
assists and 22 digs to lead the
Walker Valley victory.
Kaley Walker garnered 34
points with 18 service receptions,
18 digs and a pair of aces.
Carly Buckner helped out with
16 receptions, eight kills and
seven digs for 19 overall points.
Alice Woolson garnered 14
digs, a half dozen receptions and
an assist for 18 points, while
Megan Malone posted 10 digs
and five service receptions for 13
points.
Kate Essenburg dished out 13
assists, downed eight spikes and
had four digs, with Julia McGuire
collecting seven kills, five digs
and a pair of aces in the victory.
Aly Grace Lemons blasted 10
kills, a half dozen aces, a block
and two digs for the Lady
Mustangs.

“I told the girls that they

heart, grit and determination to
win this game. I’m so happy for
them; today showed resilience.
We came back from conceding

Ishmael ‘not quite ready’
to play against Jaguars
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga.
(AP) — The Atlanta Falcons
still expect Kemal Ishmael will
open the season as the fill-in
starter at strong safety even
though he’ll miss his third
straight preseason game this
week.
Coach Dan Quinn said
Tuesday Ishmael won’t play in
Thursday night’s final preseason game against Jacksonville.
Ishmael, returning from a
shoulder sprain, practiced on
Monday and Tuesday but won’t
be able to replace injured rookie starter Keanu Neal this week
as had been hoped.
Neal is expected to miss at
least the first two regular-season games after having arthroscopic surgery on his right
knee on Monday.
Quinn said Ishmael should
have no limitations next week.
“He practiced the last two
days and he’s just not quite
ready with the time off that
he’s missed,” Quinn said,
adding Ishmael would have
played this week “if it was a
regular game.”
Newly signed veteran safety
Deshon Goldson will play
against the Jaguars after
quickly learning the defense.
“He did a good job this week
in terms of learning and applying it,” Quinn said. “We won’t
overload him but we definitely
want to give him some work.”
Quinn stressed on Sunday
that Goldson, a 2012 All-Pro
selection with the 49ers who
started 15 games with the
Redskins last season, was
signed to play behind Neal and
Ishmael.
Ishmael said Tuesday he
was ready to play when needed.
“I’m feeling good, feeling real
comfortable out there on the
defense,” Ishmael said.
Ishmael, entering his fourth
season with the Falcons, is
preparing for a familiar backup role — assuming Neal
makes a full recovery from his
knee injury.
Ishmael made five starts in
2015 and a combined 15 in 36
games the last three years.
“It’s all about selflessness,”
Ishmael said of his role. “It’s
bigger than me. It’s a team
thing. ...Whatever role they
want me to fill, that’s what I’m
going to do and I’m going to be
happy with it.”
Wide receiver Julio Jones
(ankle), defensive end Adrian
Clayborn (shoulder) and running back Brandon Wilds
(knee) also won’t play this
week. Quinn said rookie wide
receiver Devin Fuller (shoulder) will be placed on injured
reserve.
Kicker Matt Bryant will
return after missing two
games with muscle tightness
in his leg. Running back
Terron Ward will return from
an ankle sprain to play behind
Devonta Freeman and Tevin
Coleman.
Quinn said the final preseason game will be a “really fun
night for the guys” as players
compete for the final roster
and practice-squad spots.
Such starters as quarterback Matt Ryan should have
extremely limited time as the
focus is on younger players.
“That’s why it’s a fun night
for us coaches to see the competitiveness,” Quinn said. “You
get a chance to see who wants
to go for it in the very biggest
way. It’s another opportunity

Bird Feathers: Quinn said
he talked in a team meeting
about the 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick’s decision to
sit for the national anthem

Quinn said he wanted to make
sure players consult teammates before taking any similar action “to make sure everything is about the team, especially when we’re at a ballgame
as a team.”
Petty, Hackenberg in
Jets’ preseason finale
NEW YORK (AP) — Jets
coach Todd Bowles says both
Bryce Petty and rookie
Christian Hackenberg will
“probably” play and backup
Geno Smith will sit out New
York’s preseason finale at
Philadelphia on Thursday
night.
Bowles had said on Monday
that he wasn’t sure if Smith
would also play, but ultimately
decided he wanted to see more
of the inexperienced quarterbacks in game action. Smith, a
former starter for the Jets, is
expected to back up Ryan
Fitzpatrick for the second
straight season.

receiver Victor Cruz.
“I kind of expected to drop a little bit coming from a smaller
school,” Sharpe said of a program
that moved up to FBS and didn’t
become bowl eligible until 2013.
“I’m not going to agree with it
myself. I feel like I deserve to be
up there with the rest of the top
receivers. But anybody has their
own opinions and decisions to be
made.”
Sharpe convinced the Titans
new general manager Jon
Robinson with his production
and precise route-running.
Sharpe started 43 of 47 games
in college and is UMass’ all-time
leading receiver with 277 catches
and 3,486 yards. As a senior, he
had 1,319 yards receiving.
Once in Tennessee, Sharpe has
worked his way up the depth
chart quickly. He has been with
the first-team offense since the
end of the offseason program, a
spot he hasn’t budged from since.
The native of Piscataway, New
Jersey, now is poised to start
along with veteran Rishard
Matthews.
“I’m just happy I wound up
here being a Titan,” Sharpe said.
“I wouldn’t rather be anywhere
else. I ended up in a place I was
supposed to be. I’m just thankful
for this opportunity and just go
out and make the most of it.”
The Titans went looking to give
Mariota, the No. 2 pick overall in
2015, more help at wide receiver
this offseason after tight end
Delanie Walker led the team in
both receptions (94) and yards
receiving (1,088).
That helped Walker get to the
Pro Bowl, but no wide receiver
had more than 36 catches.
Rookie Dorial Green-Beckham
led the group with 549 yards
receiving.
Robinson addressed the receiver group by signing Matthews
from Miami in March, drafting
Sharpe and then signing veteran
Andre Johnson at the start of
training camp. Those additions
allowed Tennessee to trade
Green-Beckham two weeks ago
for a backup offensive lineman.
Through three preseason
games, Sharpe has nine catches
for 163 yards, averaging 18.1
yards per reception, to lead
Tennessee (2-1) with the exhibition finale Thursday night at
Miami (2-1).
“From the moment he’s got
here, he’s been incredible,”
Mariota said. “I mean he’s
stepped on the field, he knows
what he has to do. He knows his
routes, and he consistently finds
separation.
“It makes it easier on us quarterbacks because he’s a pretty
wide target in terms of just his
ability to catch a football and his
ability to get open. Expectations
with us are high for him, and we
look forward to the season.”
which still feels a bit awkward
but gives him an added sense of
stability.
“I feel good when I have it on,”
he said.
Despite starting only eight
games as a freshman in the same
backfield with Todd Gurley,
Chubb finished his debut season
with 1,547 yards — ranking second in the Southeastern
Conference. He stretched his
streak of 100-yard games to 13
in a row, equaling Herschel
Walker’s school record, before
the injury at Tennessee ended
that run.
During his rehab, Chubb was
helped along by the Korean martial art taekwondo.
“A lot of kicking motions and
hopping on my legs and stuff like
that,” he said.
Chubb also learned just how
much the game meant to him
when forced to watch from the
sideline. Though never a very
vocal leader, he’s tried to pass
that message on to his teammates.
“If it’s taken away, you’re going
to miss it,” Chubb said. “So when
you’re out there, give it all you’ve
got.”
Given the severity of his injury
— even now, it’s difficult to
watch the replay without feeling
a bit queasy — Chubb conceded
that he’s a bit surprised to be
this far along,
“Then again,” he added, “I
don’t know because I haven’t
been in this situation before. I’ve
seen people come back from it,
but not as fast. I don’t know how
to feel about it.”
The Bulldogs are just glad to
have him back.

Reliving some history of town of Jonesborough
When I was growing up, especially in
my teen years, I spent considerable
time in North Greene County in the
communities of Chuckey and
Limestone, and even venturing into
Jonesboro, the oldest city in Tennessee.
At that time, I was more interested in
the pursuits of a normal teenager than
the history of the area. The history part
I’ve learned in my later years.
Jonesborough (or Jonesboro) was
founded in 1779, just 17 years before
Tennessee became a state and while
the area was still under the control of
North Carolina. It was named after
North Carolina legislator Willie Jones
who had supported the state's westward expansion across the Appalachian
Mountains.
The town was renamed "Jonesboro"
for a period of time, but it has been
changed back to the original spelling.
When I visited there, and during the
years I attended East Tennessee State
University in Johnson City, it was
Jonesboro.
According to Wikipedia,
“Jonesborough was originally a part of
the Washington District. In 1784, it
became the capital of the autonomous
state of Franklin (named ... after
Benjamin Franklin). Franklin, however,
was never recognized by Congress, and

the town was re-claimed, and renamed, by North Carolina in late
1788.”
Jonesborough was often considered
the center of the abolitionist movement
within the states that would join the
Confederacy during the American Civil
War.
Elihu Embree printed his publication, The Emancipator, from
Jonesborough. Publication began in
1820, making The Emancipator the
first American periodical to be dedicated exclusively to the issue of the abolition of slavery.
While Tennessee would later join the
Confederacy, a majority of East
Tennesseans had Union leanings. They
were generally subsistence farmers and
held relatively few slaves compared to
landowners in Middle Tennessee, or the
plantation areas of the Delta near the
Mississippi River in West Tennessee.
In the 1840s, Jonesborough became
the second hometown to the
Jonesborough Whig, a newspaper published by William G. "Parson"
Brownlow. Brownlow relocated the
paper from Elizabethton where it had
been in publication for approximately
two years.
Brownlow and rival editor/Methodist
circuit rider Landon Carter Haynes
brawled in the streets of Jonesborough
in May in 1840. “Over the next several
years, the two newspapermen bashed
one another in their respective writings,
each managing at times to thwart the
other's political ambitions,” according
to an online source.
Haynes left the newspaper business
in 1845, and Brownlow was eventually
elected governor. He moved the Whig to
Knoxville in 1849.
This newspaper squabble was well
before my time in the business, but my
interest in oldtime publications has led
me to read a lot of the history.
As Tennessee's oldest town,
Jonesborough attracts a significant
number of visitors, many with an interest in the area’s history.
Jonesborough’s museum describes the
local heritage of tobacco farming, which
I have an intense interest in. I spent
many, many years working on my
father’s tobacco allotment, and I
worked with cousins and uncles in
tobacco fields around Greene County.
Jonesborough today is the home to
the International Storytelling Center
which holds the annual National
Storytelling Festival on the first full
weekend in October. The Festival builds
on the Appalachian culture of storytelling, and has been drawing people
from around the world for more than
35 years.
Large tents are pitched in parks
around town and storytellers sit on
stages, or at the head of the main tent,
to perform. Occasionally, performances
are interrupted for a moment by passing railway trains.
My former school, ETSU where my
granddaughter Taylor is now a student,
has developed a successful storytelling
graduate-degree program.
Jonesborough is situated in an area
where the watershed of the Watauga
River meets the watershed of the
Nolichuckey River. In some of my previous columns I’ve written of experiences
along the Nolichuckey.
Jonesborough is surrounded by low
hills and elongated ridges that are
characteristic of the Appalachian
Mountains. The main crest of the
mountain range rises just a few miles
southeast of Jonesborough, around the
Limestone community on the border of
Greene and Washington counties.
Limestone is the birthplace of Davy
Crockett (1786), which is commemorated by the Davy Crockett State Park, a
replica of the Crockett’s family cabin,
and the Davy Crockett Museum.
Although I only spent limited time in
Jonesborough, I am familiar with one
old legend about former U.S. President
Andrew Jackson. The story claims the
ghost of Jackson appears occasionally
in the vicinity of a historic cabin in the
Jonesborough town park.
In 1788, future U.S. president
Jackson spent several months in
Jonesborough. During this time, he
lived in a cabin belonging to Major
Christopher Taylor which was located
about a mile outside of town.
In 1974, this cabin was removed
from its original spot and reconstructed
in the town's park. According to legend,
his ghost supposedly walks up to the
front door and disappears into the
building. He has also been seen walking down the street in the direction of
the old Jonesborough courthouse.
Jackson, and Davy Crockett, are
probably the two most notable former
residents of these Upper East
Tennessee communities. As legend
would have it, Jackson reportedly is
still hanging around.

SRF program a big aid
for Cleveland Utilities
C
ommunity growth, and
the maintenance of its
expanse, are not cheap;
anyone who would argue the
point merely needs to look at a
municipal utility company.
While cities expand in any or all
directions, opportunities for new
commerce are opened. But it’s
not as simple as just moving out
corporate city limits signage welcoming visitors to new and
vibrant lands of possibility.
To attract new businesses, to
lure innovative or relocating
industries, to entice existing manufacturers to expand local operations and to encourage exciting
residential development requires
a common mandate: utilities.
Growth requires electricity, and
electricity cannot be provided
without power transformers, substations, transmission lines and a
never-ending network of poles.
Growth requires clean, usable
water, and water requires miles
and miles of waterlines, as well
as costly filter plants to keep them
full and to guarantee their purity.
Growth requires sanitary
wastewater systems, and such
systems can operate only with
the proven and time-tested technology of treatment plants and
processes, and — just like water
— they require miles and miles of
underground lines.
Growth requires not only the
new, but a strategized, planned
and detailed maintenance of the
old. Lines, whether water or
sewer, submerged underground
for decades must eventually be
replaced, repaired or upgraded.
Plants that feed those water and
sewer mains must be revamped,
retooled and resurrected from
obsolete operations to more
modern techniques.
So imagine, in today’s evolving
world where new underground
lines, modern transmission
cables and massive plants are
being erected ... they, too, will
one day be replaced or upgraded.
In this age of modern utilities, it
is a never-ending cycle of
accommodating the next need.
And when cities grow, so too
do their needs.
Cleveland Utilities, now well
beyond its 75th birthday, is a
prime example.
Of Cleveland’s economic
boom over the past few years,
the good news is expansion is
creating opportunity. The bad
news is opportunity comes with a
cost: It’s a big cost and CU — like
any municipal utility company —
is being saddled with the financial responsibility.
But for the past few years, that
cost — although it’s still incredibly high — is being made a little
more manageable.
Coordinated by the Tennessee
Department of Environment and
Conservation, in partnership with
the
U.S.
Environmental
Protection Agency, this helping
hand is called the State
Revolving Fund program.
Essentially, it provides low-interest loans to utility companies and
their host municipalities to aid in
building, and modernizing, water
and wastewater infrastructure.
To date, CU has been on the
receiving end of these loans —
most with 20-year terms — at low
interest rates, ranging from 1.1
percent to about 1.5. Many have
included principal forgiveness,
meaning a certain amount of the
loans do not have to be repaid.
Collectively, the financial
impact on Cleveland Utilities has
been impressive. To date, on six
SRF loans, CU has saved
$1,669,622 in principal forgiveness. On the same loans, the
local utility company has saved
an estimated $5,291,220 thanks
to the low-interest rates.
Some of CU’s most recent,
and badly needed, water and
wastewater projects have been
made possible in part due to
SRF. Without the state program,
the local projects most likely
would have proceeded ... but, at
a much higher cost because of
conventional bond market rates.
While their names might not
serve as fodder for everyday discussion among the average
Cleveland resident, the truth is
these water and wastewater projects have received extensive
coverage in this newspaper.
Among them are the SCOPE 10
sewer rehabilitation project which
has received a $10 million SRF
loan at a 1.23 percent interest
rate; Phase 1 of the AMI water
meter replacement at $2.5 million
with a rate of 1.58 percent;
Phase 2 of the AMI transition at
$2.5 million and 1.34 percent
rate; and a $1.35 million project
for Westside Drive and Interstate
75 Exit 20 sewers at $1.35 million
and an interest rate of 2.91 percent.
Most recently, CU has received
a $3.725 million SFR loan at 1.1
percent for the final phase of a
massive waterline project that
will expand Cleveland’s water
supply. The total project involves
15 miles of 20-inch and 24-inch
water mains, and the third and
final leg will encompass five
miles the rest of the way to the
Hiwassee Utilities Commission
regional filter plant.
Municipal growth is big business. But the cost of recruiting
big business and expanded
housing is big money.
For any who might ask where
all those CU repayments go, the
checks go right back into the
SRF program, which then distributes money from repaid loans
back into new loans for different
cities.
Basically, it’s a state program
that replenishes itself ... thanks to
responsible borrowers like
Cleveland Utilities and the city of
Cleveland whose aim is to grow
and whose challenge is to find
ways to afford it.
Drug Take-Back program important
as a way of eliminating easy access
Prescription drug abuse has
been the fastest-growing drug
problem in the country.
The abuse of medicines by
teens often results in medical
emergencies or fatal overdoses.
Prescription and over-thecounter drugs are the most commonly abused substances by
Americans age 14 and older, after
marijuana and alcohol. Most
abusers of medicines, including
teens, get the drugs from a friend
or relative, often without their
knowledge and not from a drug
dealer.
Going Respectfully Against
Abusive Behavior has been
attempting to tackle this problem
since its inception. In 2010,
under the umbrella of the DrugFree Communities Support
Program, GRAAB focused on
three primary substances:
inhalant, prescription drugs and
over-the-counter abuse. At the
time of application, these were
the primary substances of abuse
among our student population.
We took on the issues surrounding these three substances
by implementing three key strategies:
1. Expand evidence-based programs to include awareness of
the dangers of inhalant and prescription drug abuse, targeting
middle and high school students.
2. Implement an inhalant
awareness program targeting
adult caregivers, schools and
retailers.
3. Implement a prescriptiondrug management and disposal
program providing education and
collection options, especially for
parents and seniors.
During this time an initiative
started gaining momentum
across the country: permanent
drug take-back boxes strategically placed within communities.
With these sites began an
increase of education and aware-

ness, which continue to this day.
It is the role of the GRAAB
Coalition to educate you on the
potential dangers of keeping such
substances simply lying around
your home.
A safe medicine take-back program gets potentially dangerous
leftover drugs out of our homes.
Unwanted medicines left in the
home endanger our children,
seniors and pets. Poisonings from
prescription and over-thecounter medicines are increasing.
Large amounts of medicines go
unused or are expired, and the
way we dispose of them makes a
difference for our water and our
environment. For years the
advice was to flush our drugs or
mix them with kitty litter and
throw them in the garbage.
Flushing drugs sends them
directly into our water, harming
the environment. Drugs thrown
in the garbage are available for
others to take and use, and can
still get into the environment.
Disposing of medicines to a local
take-back program is the only
environmentally sound method
for disposing of unused medicines.
Ongoing take-back programs
are the most convenient, costeffective and secure way to dispose of unwanted and expired
medicines.
Bradley County is very fortunate to have a permanent takeback box in our community. It is
located within the Criminal
Investigation Unit of the Bradley
County Sherriff’s Office and you,

Dear Annie: I’m wondering
whether you could settle a dispute between my friend “Laura”
and me. She thinks it’s rude to
“ghost” — leave parties without
saying bye. I think it’s fine.
For example, last weekend, our
mutual friend had a barbecue.
This particular friend is a social
butterfly, so there were probably
close to 75 people there. I knew a
dozen or so of the guests. I
enjoyed catching up with them
and meeting some new people,
but after a couple of hours, my
socializing meter was about up
and I was ready to go home and
get to bed.
I didn’t want to take the trouble
to say bye to everyone I knew
there, so I just said good night to
the people in my immediate vicinity and then stepped out quietly.
About an hour later, Laura texted
asking where I’d gone. When I told
her I was already at home, she got
angry and said it was rude for me
not to say goodbye.
I really have never thought of it
as rude. I think of it as a timesaver
for everyone. I hate awkwardly
interrupting the flow of conversations to tell people I’m leaving,
especially because then other people usually chime in, “Oh, I should
get going, too,” and I feel as if I’ve
killed the party. I just want to slip
out quietly and let everyone else
keep doing their thing.
What do you think, Annie? Is it
bad manners to ghost? —
Tiptoeing Toward the Exit
Dear Tiptoeing: People might
better like your vanishing act if it
came with a bang and a cloud of
smoke. Almost all the people
whom I’ve talked to about this
maneuver say it drives them
crazy. They’ll be out with friends
and suddenly have a “Home
Alone”-like moment in which they
realize they’re one short.
Though I don’t condone the
behavior, I get it; you don’t want
to interrupt conversations or
derail the party train. Plus,
there’s a frozen pizza at home
calling your name. (Admit it.)
I think a good rule of thumb is:
Don’t ghost the host. You don’t
have to make the rounds to say
bye to everyone you know, but at
the very least, seek out the host
to say thanks for having you.
Then you may spirit yourself
away and into some pajamas.

Vote on whether to remove president nears in Brazil’s Senate
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) —
Senators debated the fate of
Brazilian
President
Dilma
Rousseff into the wee hours of
Wednesday ahead of a planned
vote later in the day on whether
to remove Rousseff permanently
as leader of Latin America’s most
populous country.
Many of the 81 senators signed
up to speak Tuesday afternoon
on the fifth day of her impeachment trial and the session finally
adjourned around 2:30 a.m.
(1:30 a.m. EDT/0530 GMT).
Chief
Justice
Ricardo
Lewandowski, presiding over the
trial, said it would resume late
Wednesday morning for the final
vote on removing her.
Passionate closing arguments
by Rousseff’s accusers and
speeches by her allies appeared
to do little to tip the balance in
her favor on the eve of the
impeachment
decision.
Suspended by the Senate in May,
Rousseff
faces
permanent
removal for allegedly breaking fiscal responsibility laws in managing the federal budget.
Most of the senators making
statements attacked Rousseff,
blaming her for Brazil falling into
its deepest recession in decades
and saying she ignored signs of a
slowdown.
Janaina Paschoal, the lawyer
leading the case against Brazil’s
first female president, said that
Brazil’s first female president had
committed fraud when breaking
fiscal laws.
“We are not dealing with a little
accounting problem,” she said.
“The fraud was documented.”
Paschoal then broke into tears
as she asked for Rousseff’s forgiveness for making the president
suffer.
Rousseff’s defense attorney,
Jose Eduardo Cardozo, also got
emotional after closing his case
and called Paschoal’s teary comments “insulting.”
The presentations came in the
final phase of a political fight that
has polarized Brazil since the
impeachment measure was introduced in the lower Chamber of
Deputies late last year.
For Rousseff to be removed, at
least 54 of the 81 senators must
vote in favor. Local media have
reported that at least 52 senators
have said they will vote for ouster,
while roughly 18 are opposed and
11 have not said. In May, the
same body voted 55-22 to
impeach and suspend her.
Allies of Rousseff have signaled
that if she is removed from office,
they will take the case to the
Supreme Court. But several
motions filed to the country’s
highest court throughout the
impeachment proceedings have
failed.
Rousseff, a former guerrilla
fighter who was tortured and
imprisoned during the country’s
dictatorship, says she broke no
laws and notes that previous
presidents used similar accounting measures.
On Monday, she argued before

senators that she was forced to
make tough choices on the budget in the face of declining revenues and a refusal by opponents
in Congress to work with her.
“I know I will be judged, but my
conscience is clear. I did not commit a crime,” Rousseff told senators in a 30-minute address.
Rousseff had sharp words for
her vice president, Michel Temer,
who took over when she was temporarily suspended and will finish her term through 2018 if the
Senate permanently removes her.
She called him a “usurper” who
in May named a Cabinet of all
white men in a country that is
more than 50 percent non-white.
Temer’s Cabinet has been roundly criticized for its lack of diversity, with three ministers were
forced to step down within a
month of taking office because of
corruption allegations.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime
Minister Theresa May has firmly
rejected the notion of a second referendum on the country’s membership in the European Union,
insisting Wednesday that the U.K.
wouldn’t attempt a back-handed
effort to remain in the bloc.
May underscored her position
before chairing a Cabinet meeting
at her country retreat, Chequers.
She seemed intent before the ses-
sion — her first since returning
from summer vacation — to
squelch rumors that the government might be seeking a retreat
from the results of the June 23 referendum.
“We must continue to be very
clear that ‘Brexit means Brexit,’
that we’re going to make a success
of it,” she said. “That means
there’s no second referendum; no
attempts to sort of stay in the EU
by the back door; that we’re actually going to deliver on this.”
The meeting at the Chequers
retreat comes amid reports of
feuding among the three ministers
tasked with making the break
from the EU a reality.
“This really is a very significant
moment for the country, as we
look ahead to the next steps that
we need to take,” May said before
the meeting.

Elderly Japanese among 11
dead in typhoon onslaught
TOKYO (AP) — Heavy rain from
Typhoon Lionrock flooded towns
across Japan’s north and left at
least 11 people dead, most of
them elderly residents at a nursing home who could not escape
rising floodwaters, officials said
Wednesday.
The home in the town of
Iwaizumi, which only had the
ground floor, included people
suffering from dementia who
were in their 80s and 90s. Police
discovered nine bodies there on
Wednesday while checking
another facility in the inundated
neighborhood.
As floodwaters rapidly rose on
Tuesday night, all 85 elderly residents and staff at a three-story
facility next door were rescued
uninjured after evacuating to the
top floor, said Iwate prefectural
official Reiko Ouchi.
A caretaker at that facility
notified the town office about
their evacuation to the third
floor, noting that the nine residents next door were stuck, NHK
TV reported.
Ouchi said officials are looking
into if and how town officials
responded to the call. An evacuation order was not issued.
Hiroaki Sato, a senior official
at the company that runs the
nursing homes, said floodwater
poured into the compound in a
matter of 10 minutes, making it
impossible for the nine elderly
residents to escape. The water
was at chest-high Tuesday
evening.
Despite earlier warnings of the
approaching typhoon, only one of
the eight staff was on overnight
duty, Sato told Kyodo News,
adding that a telephone line was
cut off due to flooding and she
could not reach police or firefighters.
“An overnight staff attended
the residents, but in the end they
all died, including one in (her)
arms,” Sato told nationally televised NHK news. “I’m so sorry we
could not help any of the nine
residents,” he said, as he bowed
deeply in apology, his teary voice
trembling.
The identity of the victims and
other details, including the
whereabouts of their caretakers,
were not immediately known,
said Takehiro Hayashijiri, a prefecture disaster management
division.
Authorities found two more
bodies in Iwate — one in the
same town and the second in
another town of Kuji, according
to the Fire and Disaster
Management Agency.
Footage on NHK showed the
nursing home partially buried in
mud, surrounded by debris
apparently washed down in the
swollen river. A car by the home
was turned upside down.
At another nursing home, a
rescue helicopter was perched
atop a flat roof, airlifting residents, each wrapped in a blanket
and carried by their helpers.
“We’re making a governmentwide effort to assess the extent of
damage,”
Chief
Cabinet
Secretary Yoshihide Suga told
reporters. The government sent
troops to help in the rescue and
cleanup effort.
Farther north, on the island of
Hokkaido, at least two rivers
broke through their banks. The
disaster management agency
said at least one person went
missing in a car that went down
with a bridge torn away by the
flood.
Authorities in the town of
Minamifurano reported hundreds of people trapped in houses and shelters by flooding from
the Sorachi river, the agency
said. Hundreds of others were
also trapped in buildings and isolated in several towns in Iwate.
Typhoon Lionrock made landfall Tuesday evening near the city
of Ofunato, 500 kilometers (310
miles) northeast of Tokyo on the
Pacific coast and crossed the
main island of Honshu before
heading out to the Sea of Japan.
It was the first time a typhoon
has made landfall in the northern region since 1951, when the
Japan Meteorological Agency
started keeping records.
The scene of large parts of
northern Japan covered with
muddy water was a shocking
reminder of the major tsunami
that struck the same region five
years ago.
Iwate prefecture, the hardesthit by the typhoon, is one of the
areas still rebuilding from the
March 2011 tsunami and earthquake, which left more than
18,000 people dead along
Japan’s northeastern coast.
U.S. evaluating Taliban video of
captive couple in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —
The State Department said
Tuesday it is evaluating a video
released by the Afghan Taliban
showing a Canadian man and
his American wife warning that
their Afghan captors will kill
them and their children unless
the Kabul government ends its
executions of Taliban prisoners.
The video, which has not
been independently verified by
The Associated Press, shows
Canadian Joshua Boyle and
American Caitlan Coleman,
who were kidnapped in
Afghanistan in 2012, calling on
Canada and the United States
to pressure the Afghan government into changing its policy on
executing captured Taliban
prisoners. Coleman has told her
family that she gave birth to
two children in captivity.
“I would tell you that the
video is still being examined for
its validity,” State Department
spokesman John Kirby said in
response to a question at his
daily briefing.
“We remain concerned, obviously, about the welfare of
Caitlan and her family, and we
continue to urge for their immediate release on humanitarian
grounds.”
Taliban
spokesman
Zabihullah Mujahid told the AP
that the video was not new and
had in fact been recorded in
2015. Mujahid said Boyle and
Coleman and their two children
remained in captivity but in
good health. The AP could not
immediately verify the date of
the recording, however even if
the video was recorded in 2015,
it would mark the first time the
couple has appeared in a video
since 2013.
The video, which was
uploaded Tuesday on YouTube,
came to public attention
through the Site Intelligence
Group, which monitors extremist activity online.
In a statement Tuesday,
Global
Affairs
Canada
spokesman
Michael
O’Shaughnessy said the government was aware of the latest
video.
He said the government will
not comment further or release
any information that might risk
endangering the safety of
Canadian citizens abroad.
In the video, the scraggily
bearded Boyle said the couple’s
captors “are terrified of the
thought of their own mortality
approaching, and are saying
that they will take reprisals on
our family. They will execute
us, women and children included, if the policies of the Afghan
government are not overturned,
either by the Afghan government or by Canada, somehow,
or the United States.”
Coleman, wearing a black
headscarf, added: “I know this
must be very terrifying and horrifying for my family to hear
that these men are willing to go
to these lengths, but they are.”
A phone message left at a
number listed for Coleman’s
family
in
Stewartstown,
Pennsylvania, was not immediately returned.
The couple set off in the summer of 2012 for a journey that
took them to Russia, the central
Asian
countries
of
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and
Kyrgyzstan, and then to
Afghanistan.
Her parents, Jim and Lyn
Coleman, last heard from their
son-in-law on Oct. 8, 2012,
from an internet cafe in what
Josh described as an “unsafe”
part of Afghanistan.
In 2013, the couple appeared
in two videos asking the U.S.
government to free them from
the Taliban.
The Colemans received a letter last November in which
their daughter said she had
given birth to a second child in
captivity.
“I pray to hear from you
again, to hear how everybody is
doing,” the letter said.
In July, Jim Coleman, speaking to the online news service
Circa News, issued a plea to top
Taliban commanders to be
“kind and merciful” and let the
couple go.
“As a man, father and now
grandfather, I am asking you to
show mercy and release my
daughter, her husband, and
our beautiful grandchildren,”
Jim Coleman said.
“Please grant them an opportunity to continue their lives
with us, and bring peace to
their families.”

‘Retribution’ is Blair Howard’s best yet
Saga of Harry Starke’s murder mystery takes place in Cleveland
By BETTIE MARLOWE
Banner Staff Writer
This new book by Blair
Howard comes close to home, literally. First, it is about the kid
brother of protagonist Harry
Starke being murdered and
thrown into the Tennessee River.
Second, action occurs in
Cleveland — in the old Woolen
Mill, which is shown on an alternate cover of “Retribution.”
This Book 7 in the Harry
Starke series chronicles the
detective’s thoughts, emotions
and movements in the five short
days following the shock of seeing his kid brother lying on a
slab in the morgue.
The
first
chapter
in
“Retribution” lays the groundwork for all that follows during
the next week.
Starke’s week begins with a
relaxed Monday — he awakens
“feeling better than I had in a
long time,” he says. He had
enjoyed the weekend playing golf
and having lunch with his father.
His fiance, Amanda, has
almost finished with her renovations of their new house on
Lookout Mountain. With landscaping and the pool in place, it’s
perfect — “a thing of beauty” —
and Starke could certainly
appreciate it ... and her.
On Monday, Starke arose early
for a two-mile run. It was looking
forward to a good week.
But by late morning, everything crashed down. His 26year-old kid brother Hank has
been pulled from the Tennessee
River. The day which had begun
with so much promise had
“turned into a nightmare” — a
nightmare he couldn’t wake up
from ... until he had found his
brother’s killer.
Involved in the whole plot were
both higher-ups and low lives,
who were out to get Starke. But
perhaps,they had not counted on
his tenacity and determination.
Starke’s resolve ripened into
action. Against his friends’ arguments, he determined to find out
why, where and who. The attack
at his home, which got a few
thugs killed or on the run, didn’t
deter the decision. By mid-week
he pretty well knew whothe killer
was. And by Thursday, the angry
detective was prepared for retribution. This was not about police
or criminals— it was about Hank
and the family.
When things really burst open,
it was at the old Woolen Mill in
Cleveland. Part of the building
was being utilized for shops and
so forth, but the showdown was
in the abandoned four-story section.
He, some of his staff, and former co-workers from the police
force checked out the place on
Thursday. Locked up and forsakened, it was the perfect setting
for a hideout and covert operations.
In the wee hours of Friday
morning, Starke and his cohorts
drove to Cleveland. It was to be
the ultimate contest. The local
police had been pulled into the
fray, but it would be later when
they came on the scene. Those
inside the old building had detected their presence and were also
preparing. It would not be easy.
“Church Street turned into a
circus,” Howard writes. Starke
describes the scene that followed
as first responders came on the
fringe of the shootout: “Within
minutes, the great windows were
ablaze with flashing red and
blue, amber and white lights.”
Starke was wounded and landed in the hospital, however, the
hunted were either dead or
injured. But Shady Tree, the one
responsible for the killing of
Hank, got away.
He told his dad, “I kept my
word, Dad. I tried my best not to
kill, but...”
“I know you did, son.”
The doctor told Starke he
wouldn’t be playing golf for quite
a while.
A freelance writer for more
than 30 years, Howard has had
more than 4,700 of his articles
published in national and international newspapers, magazines
and online for 12 years — eight
with the New York Times. He has
some 25 e-books on Kindle.
Howard, a photojournalist,
also, has racked up more than 50
years’ experience and has written
four books on photography.
Contributed photos
Blair Howard, above, portrays Harry Starke standing on
the balcony of his home on
Lookout Mountain overlooking
Chattanooga and Moccasin
Bend. The “Retribution” cover is
an alternate showing the old
Woolen Mill in Cleveland, where
action takes place in the Harry
Starke novel.
No one can doubt his British
heritage — his English accent is
unmistakable. Howard was born
and raised near Stratford-onAvon,
near
the
English
Cotswolds. He met his wife, Jo,
when he came to the United
States in 1979 to visit Civil War
battlefields and they have lived in
Cleveland over 36 years..
He notes in “Retribution”:
“This one is for my wife, Jo. She
has to put up with a lot when I’m
writing these novels. Thanks, Jo.
I love you.”
His novel, “Harry Starke,” was
the first in a series of mystery
novels set in the Scenic City.
“Retribution” is his seventh,
which is set in Cleveland. Other
Harry Starke novels include:
“Two For the Money,” “Hill
House,” “Checkmate,” “Gone”
and “Family Matters.” His eighth,
Howard says, “will be a ‘whodun-it.’”

In-Town Gallery present Doug McCoy’s ‘Towers’ in September
Contributed photos
iN-TowN GallErY is featuring the unique art of Doug McCoy, whose “Men Of Industry,” above left, “Sticks And Stones,” center,
and “Time After Time,” above right, offer thought-provoking images for viewers to ponder throughout the month of September.
Doug McCoy’s unique canvases are featured for the
September show at In-Town
Gallery. “Towers” is a showing
of the highly detailed pen-andink drawings which are popular
with young and old alike. Bring
all ages to meet the artist at the
opening reception Friday beginning at 5 to 8 p.m. at 26A
Frazier Ave.
A native Chattanoogan,
McCoy began drawing at the
age of 2. He drew his own comic
books, wrote songs and storyboarded ideas for movies, and
later earned a bachelor of arts
degree at the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga.
“Studying art, music and theater simultaneously gives me a
unique perspective on the
world, which influences my art
through pop culture and the
relationship of man with
nature,” he explained. “I want
my paintings to convey a feeling, whether introspective or
whimsical, but it is important
that a work of art have an
impact on the viewer.”
Using canvases toned in
acrylic paint, McCoy then uses
archival ink, layering washes
and glazes, while erecting vertical symbols of fanciful architectural designs. From “Sticks and
Stones,” a possible nod to early
builders, we time travel to “Men
of Industry,” a tribute to those
who wield the levers of power
and the construction of civiliza-
tions to more contemporary
“Time After Time,” which illustrates sleek construction with
clock-like shapes in a sophisticated tower of its own.
“Art is primal — a basic need
of communication. After cavemen found food and water, they
began to draw,” said McCoy.
“Focusing on line and color, my
pieces mix the structured lines
of architecture with the organic
shapes of nature. To create different textures, I use thin layers
of ink, acrylics, and colored
pencils.”
His works are so intricate and
time consuming that viewers
can’t help but be drawn into the
process. One never walks away
from one of McCoy’s pieces
without wondering, “How does
he do that?”
A regular exhibitor at the
Chattanooga Sunday Market, he
has a large following and regularly exhibits in juried shows.
Among his awards is a piece on
permanent display in
Chattanooga’s sister city,
Hamm, Germany.
In-Town Gallery, located at
26A Frazier Ave., on the North
shore in Chattanooga, is open
every day year-round, except for
major holidays. Hours are 11
a.m. to 7 p.m. MondaySaturday; 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday;
and until 8 p.m. on First
Fridays, each month. Call 2679214 or visit

Gardening: growing blackberries without the blood
Wright Way
Let there be laughs!
By WILLIAM WRIGHT
Lifestyles Editor
Research shows laughter is a
great antidote to relieve stress.
Honestly, couldn’t you use a
good laugh right about now? Try
to ease into it. I hope one of
these jokes involving children
will be all the medicine you need
today!
The boss of a big company
needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem
with one of the main computers.
He dialed the employee’s home
phone number and was greeted
with a child’s whispered,
“Hello?”
The boss asked, “Is your
Daddy home?”
“Yes,” whispered the small
voice.
“May I talk with him?” the
man asked.
The small voice whispered
“No.”
Wanting to talk with an adult,
the boss asked, “Is your Mommy
there?”
The child whispered, “Yes.”
“May I talk with her?”
Again the small voice whispered “No.”
“Is there any one there
besides you?” the boss asked
the child.
“Yes,” whispered the child, “a
policeman.”
Wondering what a cop would
be doing at his employee’s
home, the boss asked, “May I
speak with the policeman”?
“No, he’s busy,” whispered the
child.
“Busy doing what?” asked the
boss.
“Talking to Daddy and
Mommy and the Fireman,” came
the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even
worried as he heard what
sounded like a helicopter
through the earpiece on the
phone the boss asked, “What is
that noise?”
“A hello-copper,” answered
the whispering voice.
“What is going on there?”
asked the alarmed boss.
The child answered, “The
search team just landed the
hello-copper.”
Alarmed and more than a little frustrated, the boss asked,
“Why are they there?”
Still whispering, the young
voice replied with a muffled giggle: “They’re looking for me.”
***************
A father passing by his son’s
bedroom was astonished to see
the bed was nicely made and
everything was picked up. Then
he saw an envelope propped up
prominently on the center of the
bed. It was simply addressed
“Dad” so with the worst premonition, he opened the envelope
and read the letter with trembling hands:
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had
to elope with my new girlfriend
because I wanted to avoid a
scene with Mom and you. I’ve
been finding real passion with
Joan and she is so nice even
with all her piercing, tattoos and
her tight motorcycle clothes.
But it’s not only the passion
dad, she’s pregnant and Joan
said that we will be very happy.
Even though you don’t care for
her as she is so much older than
I, she already owns a trailer in
the woods and has a stack of
firewood for the whole winter.
She wants to have many more
children with me and that’s now
one of my dreams too. Joan
taught me that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone and we’ll
be growing it for us and trading
it with her friends for all the
cocaine and ecstasy we want! In
the meantime, we’ll pray that
science will find a cure for AIDS
so Joan can get better; she sure
deserves it!!
Don’t worry Dad. Someday I’m
sure we’ll be back to visit so you
can get to know your grandchildren.
Your son,
Benjamin
P.S. Dad, none of the above is
true. I’m over at the neighbor’s
house. I just wanted to remind
you that there are worse things
in life than my report card that’s
in my desk, center drawer. Call
me when it is safe to come
home.
***************
A small boy is sent to bed by
his father.
Five minutes later, the boy
starts calling out, “Da-ad...”
“What?”
“I’m thirsty. Can you bring me
a drink of water?”
“No. You had your chance.
Lights out.”
cries out, “Da-aaaad...”
“WHAT?”
“I’m THIRSTY... Can I have a
drink of water??”
“I told you NO! If you ask
again I may have to spank you!!”
yells, “Daaaa-aaaAAAAD...”
“WHAT??!!”
“When you come in to spank
me, can you bring me a drink of
water?”
***************
After the church service a little boy told the pastor, “When I
grow up, I’m going to give you
some money.”
“Well, thank you,” the pastor
replied, “but why?”
“Because my daddy says
you’re one of the poorest
preachers we’ve ever had.”
***************
One summer evening during a
violent thunderstorm a mother
was tucking her small boy into
bed. She was about to turn off
the light when he asked with a
tremor in his voice, “Mommy,
will you sleep with me tonight?”
The mother smiled and gave
him a reassuring hug.
“I can’t dear,” she said. “I have
to sleep in Daddy’s room.” A
long silence was broken at last
by his shaking little voice: “The
big sissy.”
****************
Finally, Matt’s father picked
him up after school and asked,
“So how did the school play tryouts go? Did you get a part?”
Matt
enthusiastically
announced that he did indeed
get a part in the play.
“I play a man who’s been married for 50 years!” he said.
“That’s great, son,” the father
replied. “Keep up the good work
and before you know it ... you’ll
get a speaking part!” Ha!
Remember, life is better when
you’re laughing! Unless, of
course, you can't stop laughing.
Jekyll Island reminds tourists
of its alligator abundance
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) —
Known for sea turtles nesting
on its beaches, wading shorebirds in the surf and whitetailed deer that roam its maritime forests, Jekyll Island
has taken extra steps to make
sure visitors realize the state
park is also home an abundance of alligators.
The
Jekyll
Island
Authority, which manages
the island 70 miles south of
Savannah, in the last month
posted nearly 30 signs at the
edge of ponds, alongside
ditches and at entrances to
its four golf courses. The
signs urge visitors to “Be
Aware Alligators Are Common
in Lakes, Ponds and Ditches”
and tell them “Do Not Feed
Wildlife,” each printed with a
gator graphic.
It’s no coincidence the new
signage went up not long after
an alligator killed a toddler
this summer in a lake at Walt
Disney World, said Ben
Carswell, the island’s conservation manager. But he said
Jekyll Island staff had already
been working on notices to
discourage tourists from tossing food to alligators, particularly at a pond next to a picnic
area.
“We took a hard look at
what sort of information we
were getting out to people
about the presence of alligators on Jekyll Island,”
Carswell said. “We don’t want
people to be scared about
nature and wildlife on Jekyll.
But we want them to be aware
of it and what these animals
and their behaviors are.”
Once a remote getaway for
wealthy industrialists, Jekyll
Island became a state park
after the state of Georgia purchased it in 1947. State law
requires that two-thirds of the
island remain undeveloped,
ensuring people share the
park with a wide range of
wildlife.
By LEE REICH
Associated Press
For the past couple of weeks,
I’ve been picking and eating what
are arguably the best fruits I
have ever tasted (a belief I often
hold when a particular fruit is
ripe). They are blackberries, but
not just any blackberries:
Because my plant is a cultivated
variety and grown under garden
conditions, its berries are especially swollen with sweet, aromatic juice.
Wild blackberries grow abundantly throughout much of the
world, but these cultivated ones
have the edge in size, juice and
flavor.
—RIPENESS IS IMPORTANT
Most important is that each
blackberry hangs on the plant
just beyond its showy, glossy
black stage, until it is dead ripe.
At that point, blackberries are
dull black, as if sullenly crying
out to be plucked, an impression
reinforced by their readiness, at
the slightest suggestion, to part
from their stalks and stain the
fingertips.
To withstand the rigors of
shipping, commercial blackberries are picked when black but
still firm — and tart. Fruit
allowed to develop full flavor on
the plant cannot tolerate being
carried more than about 3 feet,
the distance from hand to
mouth.
—EASY TO GROW
Growing blackberries can be
intimidating because of their
thorns. Most blackberry plants
are thoroughly armed, even on
their leaves, with ferocious
thorns that grab, stab and hold
you.
Many gardeners are willing to
put up with the pain because the
fruit is so delicious.
Not I. I grow thorn-less varieties of blackberries, horticultural wonders with pretty much all
the qualities of their thorny relatives except the thorns. Some
good varieties of thorn-less
AP photo
THIS PHOTO provided by Lee Reich shows blackberries growing in New Paltz, N.Y. No need to fear
here; canes bearing this heavy crop of blackberries are thornless, so won’t “bite” you.
blackberries are Chester and
Doyle, the latter not cold-hardy
in the coldest regions, but making canes long enough to be laid
on the ground and insulated
under a blanket of leaves from
January to March. Other good
varieties include Triple Crown
and Hull, which are erect varieties like Chester, and Thornless
Boysen and Marion (thorny),
both with trailing canes.
Whether your blackberries are
thorn-less or thorny, growing
them well requires choosing a
good site and pruning the plants
annually.
As for site, don’t be fooled by
blackberries that grow wild along
the edges of woods. Blackberries
tolerate some shade but, like
blueberries and pawpaws, fruit
and grow better in full sun. The
best soils will be well-drained
and blanketed with an organic
mulch of leaves or straw to keep
them consistently moist and rich
in humus.
—PRUNING
There’s no art to pruning
blackberries, just a straightforward recipe: Remember that
individual blackberry canes are
biennial, fruiting and dying after
their second season, and fruits
are borne on side shoots.
Let’s make believe it’s late winter: Step 1 in pruning is to cut
away at ground level any cane
that fruited the previous summer. You’ll recognize these canes
by the remains of fruit stalks still
clinging to them.
Step 2 is to remove — again, to
ground level — some of the new
canes, which will fruit this summer. Too many canes results in
crowding, so limit each clump of
plants to about six new canes
annually.
That’s all that’s needed for the
long, willowy canes of trailing
blackberries. With a single-wire
trellis you can lift the remaining
canes and tie them to the wire,
while letting new canes, which
will fruit the following season,
trail along the ground.
For so-called erect varieties,
the third step in pruning is to
shorten side shoots on remaining
canes to about 18 inches each.
This limits the number of fruits
they can bear, but forces them to
pump more sweetness and size
into those that remain.
Now let’s jump back into summer for the fourth step in pruning erect varieties: Throughout
summer, whenever a young cane
reaches a height of 3 to 5 feet,
pinch out its growing tip. This
pinch stimulates the growth of
side branches on which will hang
next year’s luscious berries.
Year after year, all this pruning
keeps any blackberry planting
productive, healthy and easy to
harvest — and all the more fun if
the plants are thorn-less.
COOKING ON DEADLINE: Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Burrata
By CARRIE WORKMAN
Associated Press
If you want to end the summer
with a bang and be reminded
how the best and simplest ingredients produce the most magical
results, then this is the dish to
make before the leaves change
and thoughts turn to stew.
Burrata is a semisoft, white
Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. Imagine the
softest, creamiest fresh mozzarella ever, but the inside is
filled with buttery cream that
runs out when you cut it open.
It’s like the cheese version of a
molten chocolate cake (a brownie-like cake with warm chocolate
sauce in the middle).
Hopefully by now you’re ready
to jump in the car and find yourself some burrata.
It’s available at cheese shops
and well-stocked supermarkets;
if you can’t find it, get fresh mozzarella instead, but don’t give up
the search.
Roasting the cherry tomatoes
caramelizes them and brings out
even more natural sweetness.
You don’t need to have them on
the vine; this dish is also beautiful with an assortment of cherry
tomatoes in different colors.
You can make the (nut-free)
basil oil ahead of time and store
it in a covered container in the
fridge for up to three days.
—ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH BURRATA AND
BASIL OIL
Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 8 as an appetizer
—1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes,
on the vine if desired
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons
extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus
more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 balls burrata (about 1/2
pound each), at room temperature
Crusty bread to serve
—Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line
a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat it with nonstick cooking spray. Place the
tomatoes on the baking sheet
and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil (if they are on the
vine, just drizzle the tomatoes
with the olive oil, and use your
hands to make sure they are
nicely coated). Season with salt
and pepper. Roast for about 30
minutes, until they are wrinkly
and slightly collapsed.
Meanwhile, make the basil oil:
Place the basil, parsley, garlic,
lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt
and pepper in a food processor,
and pulse several times to roughly chop. With the motor running,
add 1/2 cup of the olive oil
through the top of the processor.
When the oil is added, scrape
down the sides of the food
processor and process again.

THIS PHOTO shows cherry tomatoes with burrata in New York.
This dish is from a recipe by Katie Workman.
Transfer the tomatoes to a
serving platter along with any
juices that they have released,
and let cool to barely warm or
room temperature. They will
release some of their juices as
they cool, which is not only OK
but desirable. When ready to
serve, cut each burrata in half
and nestle the cheese among the
tomatoes, making sure not to
lose any of the creamy filling. You
may want to add a bit more salt
and pepper. Drizzle about half
the basil oil over the tomatoes
and cheese and serve with the
crusty bread, and the rest of the
basil oil on the side for extra drizzling.

Fitbit makes exercise even more of a game
NEW YORK (AP) — Fitbit wants
to help you exercise more by making you think you’re hiking
famous trails instead of strolling
around your neighborhood.
The new motivational feature,
called Adventures, will be available to all Fitbit users through a
free app update Monday.
The feature tracks the distance
you’ve walked or run and maps it
against actual trails, starting with
three at Yosemite National Park in
California. The Fitbit app will
unlock badge-like images of trail
landmarks — say, a scenic waterfall at mile 5 — as you progress.
Other rewards include “fun facts”
and health tips along the way.
Fitbit will add other destinations,
including the ability to “run” the
course of the New York City
Marathon.
One of Fitbit’s most popular
features has been its ability to let
friends and family compare steps
they’ve taken throughout the day.
Fitbit says those who participate
in such challenges tend to take
30 percent more steps. The company says Adventures is designed
to offer similar challenges even if
people haven’t assembled real-life
groups.
The feature might help some
users stick with step tracking and
other fitness measures after the
novelty wears off. People who
keep using their Fitbits are more
likely to tell their friends about
them, and to upgrade to more
advanced models themselves,
analysts say.
Fitbit, the market leader in
wearable devices, is also updating
two older devices, the 2013 Flex
and the 2014 Charge, mostly to
bring them in line with what
newer devices and rivals offer.
Besides tracking steps and sleep,
the Flex 2 and the Charge 2 will
remind people to take moving
breaks throughout the day.
That’s coming to the Fitbit Blaze,
too, through a software update.
The Charge 2 will have a heartrate monitor, a feature previously
limited to the HR edition of the
Charge. It will guide users to take
deep-breathing breaks, something the Apple Watch will also
soon do. One new feature promises a quick snapshot of cardiovascular fitness based on a metric

known as VO2 max. While this
typically requires running on a
treadmill with an oxygen mask,
Fitbit estimates it using running
speed and heart rate instead.
There’s been no independent testing yet on the method’s accuracy,
though the company is confident.
Meanwhile, the Flex 2 will be
the first Fitbit with sufficient
water resistance for use during
swimming; Fitbit rivals like
Garmin already offer that on
some devices.
The Charge 2 is expected to

the Flex 2 will come in October for
$100.

Dollywood celebrates end of summer with Labor Day fun
PIGEON FORGE — Dollywood
plans an exciting Labor Day
weekend designed to help guests
send summer off with a bang —
literally.
Visitors will have plenty to
keep them entertained during
the three-day period with fireworks shows, a Christian rock
music festival, an annual promotion which is now a tradition for
East Tennesseans and the end of
the season for Dollywood’s
Splash Country.
The fun begins Saturday with
Rock the Smokies — a Christian
rock music festival— which features a number of top artists,
including
platinum-selling
Newsboys and Grammy winner
For King & Country. With hit sin-
gles and chart-topping music
from I Am They, We Are
Messengers, 7eventh Time
Down, and Stars Go Dim, the
performance lineup does not disappoint.
Festival tickets for the Rock
the Smokies concerts are going
quickly with three shows at 1, 4,
and 7 p.m. inside Dollywood’s
Celebrity Theater. Festival tickets
provide admission to Dollywood,
as well as concert entry at the
selected show time.
VIP packages also are available
and include assorted merchandise, early ride time on one of
Dollywood’s thrilling roller coasters, photos with the artists, and
much more! For more information, visit rockthesmokies.com or
Hints from Heloise
Pasta pointers
Dear Heloise: Does it matter
when you SALT THE PASTA
WATER — before or after boiling?
Also, when making multiple
pasta dishes, can one use the
pasta water twice? Since it’s
already hot, it would boil again
quickly. — Ed C., via email
Add salt to the water once it
comes to a rapid boil. Adding salt
before heating the water can
cause pitting in the bottom of
pots. The pasta will become seasoned with the salt water as it
cooks.
Do not use the same water to
make a second batch of pasta. As
pasta cooks, it releases starch
into the water (that’s what makes
the water look cloudy). You don’t
want to already have starchy
water when cooking new pasta,
which will release more starch as
it cooks. — Heloise
P.S. Remember not to rinse
the pasta after cooking, because
the starch helps sauces stick to
the pieces of pasta. Rinse only
pasta that you are using for cold
dishes.

Smaller containers
Dear Heloise: Today, I read
about a person’s olive-usage
dilemma. (Heloise here: The reader asked how to store black olives
once a can was opened.) I had the
same problem. They now make
black and green olives in a “togo” type of small container (pack
of four) that does not need refrig-
eration until opened. They are
the perfect size for one serving,
for not taking up space in the
refrigerator, and for taking with
you for meals away from home. I
love it when manufacturers make
easy, small packages. — D.P., via
email
These to-go packs are perfect
for smaller portions, but beware:
They are typically more expensive
than cans. — Heloise
Temporary pedestal place
Dear Heloise: A pedestal plate
makes an attractive addition to a
buffet table, but I’ve never
bought one because of my limited
storage space. My solution has
been to make a temporary one
when I want one.
I firmly attach the bottom of a
plate or platter to a stemmed
sherbet dish with sticky/tacky
wax, available in places that sell
craft materials and candles. The
improvised pedestal plate works
well for serving cookies, candies
and hors d’oeuvres. When the
event is over, it’s easy to disassemble the plate and remove the
wax. — Sandra M., Lexington, Ky.
Cherry pitting
Dear Heloise: When I was
picking the first cherries of the
season and pitting some for
church, I came up with this hint:
When I use my cherry pitter, I
always keep one hand under the
pitter and cherry to be sure the
stone comes out. The shaft has
slipped by the side of the stone
sometimes, or the pit has even
drawn back into the cherry. No
fun biting down on a cherry
stone. — Patty S., Irvine, Calif.

There are two documents of
paramount
importance
to
American
history:
the
Declaration of Independence,
which forged our national identity, and the United States
Constitution, which set forth the
framework for the federal government that is still in use today.
While Independence Day is a
beloved national holiday, fewer
people know about Constitution
Week, an annual commemoration
of the living document that
upholds and protects the freedoms central to our American
way of life. This year, the annual
celebration begins Sept. 17.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution initiated the observance in 1955, when the organization petitioned the U.S.
Congress to dedicate Sept. 17-23
of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week.
Congress adopted the resolution,
and on Aug. 2, 1956, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it
into Public Law No. 915. The celebration’s goals are threefold: to
encourage the study of the historical events that led to the
framing of the Constitution in
September 1787; to inform people that the Constitution is the
basis of America’s great heritage
and the foundation of our way of
life; and to emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect,
defend and preserve the
Constitution.
DAR has been the foremost
advocate for the awareness, promotion and celebration of
Constitution Week. This annual
observance provides innumerable opportunities for educational initiatives and community outreach, two mission areas of crucial importance to the National
Society’s work. By fostering
knowledge of and appreciation
for the Constitution and the
inalienable rights it affords to all
Americans, DAR helps to keep
alive the memory of the men and
women who secured our nation’s
independence, and whose bravery and sacrifice made possible
the liberties we enjoy today.
“The framers created a
Constitution that translated into
law the ideals upon which our
nation was built,” said DAR’s
president general, Ann Dillon.
“Their vision was so forward
thinking that their words still
guide us today. No American history education can be complete
without a thorough understanding of the impact the Constitution
has had on the lives of American
citizens, past and present.”
One of the largest patriotic
women’s organizations in the
world, DAR has more than
185,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters across the
country and even in numerous
foreign countries. DAR strives to
promote historic preservation,
education and patriotism via
commemorative events, scholarships and educational initiatives,
citizenship programs, service to
veterans, meaningful community
service, and more. For more

Neighbor churches, split on
race lines, work to heal divide
MACON, Ga. (AP) — There are
two First Baptist Churches in
Macon — one black and one
white. They sit almost back-toback, separated by a small park,
in a hilltop historic district overlooking downtown.
“We’re literally around the corner from each other,” said the
Rev. Scott Dickison, pastor of the
white church.
About 170 years ago, they were
one congregation, albeit a church
of masters and slaves. Then the
fight over abolition and slavery
started tearing badly at religious
groups and moving the country
toward Civil War. The Macon
church, like many others at the
time, decided it was time to separate by race.

money.
If you believe any of these five
money myths, it’s time to take a
closer look at the financial realities.
THe AnnuAl 4-H PoulTry Show and Sale will be held
Saturday, at 9 a.m., at the 4-H Show-barn in Benton. Thirtytwo 4-H members from across Polk County started their
poultry project last spring when they received 12 baby
chicks provided by the Polk County 4-H Clubs. The 4-H
members have been responsible for the care of the chicks
and will bring three pullets to the show and compete for
Grand Champion 4-H pullet. Other awards will also be
given. After the show the 90 pullets will be auctioned off,
with the money going to the 4-H clubs. 4-H members in the
project have worked hard this past summer raising their pullets for this Saturday’s event. The pullets, which are black
sex link pullets, are good layers and will produce high quality, farm fresh eggs for many years. The Polk County 4-H
Office encourages everyone interested in purchasing pullets
to come to the show and sale on Saturday. The Polk County
4-H program is open to all youth ages 9 to 19.
MYTH: EVERYONE NEEDS A
FAT EMERGENCY FUND
Certified financial planners
typically recommend clients have
enough savings to cover expenses
for three to six months. If you’re
living paycheck to paycheck,
though, it can take you years to
amass that much.
Say you spend $5,000 each
month and somehow manage to
trim your expenses by 10 percent. To accumulate three
months’ expenses ($4,500 times
three, or $13,500), you would
have to put aside every dime of
that $500 savings for 27 months.
Accumulating a six-month stash
could take nearly five years.
Either way, it’s too long to put off
other important goals, such as
saving for retirement and paying
off high-interest-rate debt.
A better course: Shoot for a
starter emergency fund of $500,
which would cover small car
repairs or an insurance
deductible. Once you’re on track
with retirement and debt repayment, you can focus on building
up your savings.
Meanwhile, identify other
sources of emergency money:
items you can sell, nonretirement
investments you can tap or lowcost ways to borrow, such as a
home equity line of credit.
MYTH: GETTING MARRIED
MEANS HIGHER TAXES
Many couples don’t pay a marriage penalty — and some get a
marriage bonus, meaning their
tax burden is lower because they
married. That’s particularly true
for couples with disparate
incomes; together they pay less in
tax than they would as singles.
Congress tried to eliminate
marriage penalties for most taxpayers by expanding the 10 percent and 15 percent federal
income tax brackets, which are
twice as wide for married couples
as for singles. In addition, the
standard deduction for married
couples is twice that for singles.
The couples most likely to pay
a marriage penalty are those at
the top and bottom of the income
scale. The higher tax brackets
aren’t twice as wide for married
couples as for singles. At the
lower-income end, couples that
combine their incomes through
marriage could lose some or all of
the valuable Earned Income Tax
Credit.
Even if you do pay a tax penalty, the cost is likely outweighed
by the many other financial and
legal benefits marriage provides.
MYTH: ROTH IRAS ARE A
GREAT WAY TO SAVE FOR
RETIREMENT
Withdrawals from a Roth IRA
are tax-free in retirement, and
there are no required minimum
distributions, which means you
can pass unused money to your
heirs, free of income tax. That
makes Roths a pretty good deal
for wealthier taxpayers and those
who expect to be in a higher tax
bracket when they withdraw the
money than when they con-
tributed it.
Many people, though, will be in
a lower tax bracket when they
retire. They’d be better off taking
a tax break now by making
deductible contributions to
401(k)s and regular IRAs.
Of course, no one knows what
future tax rates may be. If you
want to hedge your bets, you can
stash some money in a Roth IRA
or Roth 401(k) in addition to
making contributions to taxdeductible plans.
MYTH: YOU SHOULD ROLL
YOUR 401(K) INTO AN IRA
You definitely shouldn’t cash
out a 401(k) when you leave a
job, but rolling your account into
an IRA may not be the best
option, either. You may be better
off leaving your money in the old
plan if it’s a good one, or transferring it to a new employer’s plan if
that’s an option.
Financial
services
firms
encourage rollovers because that
means you’ll be investing in their
retail investment options, which
cost more than the institutional
funds found in many 401(k)s.
Your 401(k) account has other
advantages:
—You can withdraw money
penalty-free if you leave the company at or after age 55, while
IRAs typically make you wait
until 59 1/2.
—If you continue to work, you
can put off withdrawals from
your current employer’s 401(k),
while IRA withdrawals must start
after age 70 1/2.
—You can’t borrow money from
an IRA for more than 60 days
without the withdrawal being
taxed and penalized, but most
401(k)s offer loans that can last
five years — and sometimes
longer for a home purchase.
—Workplace plans also are
better protected against creditor
claims than IRAs if you’re sued or
go bankrupt.
If any of these issues might
affect you, consider leaving your
money in a 401(k).
MYTH: SCHOLARSHIPS
WILL HELP REDUCE
COLLEGE COSTS
Scholarships can reduce the
amount of financial aid students
get, leaving families no better off.
That’s because federal financial aid rules require colleges to
ratchet back need-based aid
when students win money from
“outside” sources such as corporations, nonprofits and fraternal
organizations.
Colleges have some leeway in
how they implement these rules.
The most generous may reduce
the amount students are expected to contribute from their own
earnings or lower the amount
they’ll have to borrow. Other
schools that don’t fully meet a
student’s financial need will allow
scholarship money to fill the gap.
Most, however, reduce grant aid
dollar for dollar.
Affluent families who don’t
qualify for financial aid tend to be
the ones who benefit most from
scholarships. If you have financial need, though, you’d be smart
to ask about a college’s “scholarship displacement” policy before
you spend too much time applying for supposedly free money.

Study: Did fall from tree kill
famous human ancestor Lucy?
Churches
From Page 24
One man said when you reach
out to someone from another
group, “you’re perceived as unpatriotic,” or disloyal.
A woman said fear often kept
people from crossing racial
divides. “What if you make it
worse?” she asked.
Another woman said she was
upset to see some disrespect of
the police. She compared law
enforcement officers to the Good
Samaritan, who helped a wounded stranger others had ignored.
“They rush toward danger when
others run,” she said.
Dickison acknowledged “fear is
powerful” in shaping reactions to
others. After more discussion, he
wrapped up the session by quoting King, who said the solution to
racism is the “willingness of men
to obey the unenforceable.”
“We can’t survive spiritually
separate,” the white pastor said.
That same morning, at the
service at the black church, the
congregation announced it would
host the city’s Black Lives Matter
vigil, marking the tragedies of the
preceding week.
The movement has been a
topic at meetings of a group
appointed by Goolsby and
Dickison, comprised of representatives of each church, to help
guide their new relationship.
“I think it’s an opportunity for
healing,” said Warbington-Ross,
who is part of the group. “It’s an
opportunity for us to just inform
the church that black lives matter also as it relates to inclusion
and exclusion, and to inform
them of some things that they
take for granted that we have to
endure, like racial profiling, like
police brutality, like racial
inequality, those kinds of things.”
At the vigil the next night,
police officers directed traffic as
people climbed the steep marble
church steps, where “God’s
Mighty Fortress” is engraved in
gold. Clergy from across the city
filled one side of the broad pulpit.
Cooke, the prosecutor, and the
county sheriff were among those
representing law enforcement;
community leaders and residents
nearly filled the pews.
A speaker wearing a Black
Lives Matter T-shirt explained
the movement “was not birthed
out of hate. It was birthed out of
hurt.”
Goolsby and Dickison sat sideby-side on the pulpit, swaying
along with the hymns, then stood
together to speak. Dickison compared racism to “a cancer that
roams inside the body of this
nation, and yes, even in the body
of Christ.” Goolsby urged people
to maintain hope “in spite of our
circumstances,” and he added,
“We know there will be change.”
Said both men: “Amen.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
famous human ancestor known
as Lucy walked the Earth, but it
was her tree climbing that might
have led to her demise, a new
study suggests.
An analysis of her partial skeleton reveals breaks in her right
arm, left shoulder, right ankle
and left knee — injuries that
researchers say resulted from
falling from a high perch such as
a tree.
Lucy likely died quickly, said
John Kappelman, an anthropologist at the University of Texas at
Austin, who published the findings Monday in the journal
Nature.
“I don’t think she suffered,”
Kappelman said.
But several other researchers,
including Lucy’s discoverer, disagree. They contend most of the
cracks in Lucy’s bones are well
documented and came after her
death from the fossilization
process and natural forces such
as erosion.
How Lucy met her end has
remained a mystery since her
well-preserved fossil remains
were unearthed more than four
decades ago. Her discovery was
significant because it allowed scientists to establish that ancient
human ancestors walked upright
before evolving a big brain.
Lucy was a member of
Australopithecus afarensis, an
early human species that lived in
Africa between about 4 million
and 3 million years ago. The earliest humans climbed trees and
walked on the ground. Lucy
walked upright and occasionally
used her long, dangling arms to
climb trees. She was a young
adult when she died.
Tim White, a paleoanthropologist at the University of
California, Berkeley, called the
study’s conclusion a “misdiagnosis.” The Texas researchers
“appear to have focused only on
the cracks that they could attrib-
The Gem Players Presents
A Drama by Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee
ute to an imagined fall, ignoring
the additional abundant cracks,”
White said in an email.
The split highlights the difficulty of pinpointing a cause of death
from
fossilized
remains.
Scientists rarely know how early
humans died because skeletons
are incomplete and bones tend to
get crushed under sand and
rocks.
Over the years, Lucy’s discoverer Donald Johanson has tried
to solve the mystery.
Lucy’s skeleton, which is 40
percent complete, was recovered
in Ethiopia in what was an
ancient lake near fossilized
remains of crocodiles, turtle eggs
and crab claws.
“There’s no definitive proof of
how she died,” said Johanson of
Arizona State University.
The Texas team examined
Lucy’s bones and used high-tech
imaging. Kappelman said the
scans revealed multiple broken
bones and no signs of healing,
suggesting the injuries occurred
around the time of death.
He reconstructed her final
moments: The 3-foot-6-inch
(1.06-meter) Lucy fell from at
least 40 feet and hit the ground at
35 mph. She landed on her feet
before twisting and falling. Such
an impact would have caused
internal organ damage. Fractures
on her upper arms suggest she
tried to break her fall.
Kappelman theorized that
Lucy’s walking ability may have
caused her to be less adept at
climbing trees, making her more
vulnerable to falling from heights.
Not everyone agrees that her
tree-climbing skills were lacking.
Other scientists point out that
there have been documented falls
by chimpanzees and orangutans,
which spend more time in trees
than Lucy’s species.
“Without a time machine, how
can one know that she didn’t just
get unlucky and fall?” William
Harcourt-Smith of the American
Museum of Natural History said
in an email.

looked like in life. A new study
based on an analysis of Lucy's
fossil by the University of Texas

falling from a tree. Several scientists, including Lucy’s discoverer,
reject that she plunged to her
death from a tree.

Sea turtles shatter nesting
records in Georgia, Carolinas
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Rare
loggerhead sea turtles spent a
busy summer laying eggs on
beaches in Georgia and the
Carolinas, where nest counts this
year smashed previous state
records by double-digit margins.
“We thought we’d have a lot of
nests, but we didn’t expect this big
of a jump,” said Mark Dodd, the
state biologist who heads the sea
turtle recovery program in
Georgia, where volunteers since
May have counted more than
3,250 nests dug in the sand by
giant loggerhead turtles.
That’s a whopping 40-percent
increase from Georgia’s previous
record of 2,325 nests tallied a year
ago. And neighboring states on the
Atlantic coast are reporting peak
nest counts of their own.
Preliminary figures for the nesting season, which runs from May
through August, in show South
Carolina and North Carolina each
saw loggerhead nests jump 21 percent above their prior state records
set 2013. The biologist who oversees nest counting in Florida, by
far the busiest U.S. state for sea
turtles, says 2016 is on track to be
a record-breaking year there as
well, though it’s too early to say for
sure.
“We have a pretty good feeling,”
said Anne Meylan, sea turtle nesting program coordinator for the
Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission. “What we’re seeing
so far is indicative of a really good
year.”
Loggerhead sea turtles, which
can grow up to 300 pounds, are
protected by federal law as a
threatened species. Each summer, adult females crawl from the
surf of the Atlantic Ocean onto
Southeastern beaches to dig
nests for their ping-pong ball
sized eggs.
During the nesting season, volunteers from North Carolina to
Florida comb the shoreline each
day around sunrise to catalog new
nests and cover them with protective screens to keep out wild hogs
and other predators until the eggs
hatch.
Dodd said he suspects loggerhead nesting has taken a big leap
in recent years because there are
more female turtles reaching sexual maturity, thanks to conservation efforts that began three
decades ago such as shielding
nests from predators and requiring shrimp boats to use nets
equipped with built-in escape
hatches for turtles.
“Loggerheads are a very longlived species and don’t start reproducing until they’re 30 years old,”
Dodd said. “If you let a population
like that decline, it takes a lot of
effort, time and money to recover
those populations.”
The work appears to be paying
off. With only a few days left until
nesting season officially ends
Wednesday, preliminary numbers
from the South Carolina
Department of Natural Resources
show a statewide count of more
than 6,300 loggerhead nests —
easily topping the state’s prior
record of 5,193 set three years ago.
Likewise, the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission
has reported 1,580 loggerhead
nests this year. That beats the
state’s previous peak of 1,304
nests from 2013.
Unlike other states, Florida
doesn’t keep a running tally of sea
turtle nests because of overwhelming numbers. Last year, 89,295
loggerhead nests were counted on
more than 200 Florida beaches.
Those beaches aren’t required to
report their nest counts to state
officials until the end of November,
Meylan said. But Florida also
tracks a smaller sampling of its
overall nest count — using numbers from 36 beaches — to get an
idea of how busy the overall nesting season looks. Meylan said
counts from those sample beaches
from May through July look promising enough that she suspects
Florida might surpass its record of
98,603 loggerhead nests from
2012.

Testimonial from
a Satisfied Customer
“My wife had been telling me for a very long
time that I had a hearing problem. I thought
the real problem was that she and others were
not speaking loud enough. I finally gave in
and at random chose Ahlberg Audiology to
have my hearing checked. After a hearing test
I realized that it was my problem. Tiffany
patiently worked with me to select the best
hearing aid for my situation. I am now
hearing better than I have in many years. She
is very knowledgeable and professional and yet
makes you feel comfortable. I am confident
that I made the best decision in choosing
Ahlberg Audiology. Did I mention Tiffany is
also a beautiful lady both inside and out.”
