He's Moving a 460-Ton Lighthouse
on Martha's Vineyard
By Tom Moroney
The New York Eagle News/ Bloomberg News
C
hewing a cheap cigar atop an old bulldozer, Jerry Matyiko
is at work in his office — the stunning, colorful and rapidly eroding cliffs of Gay Head on the island of Martha's
Vineyard. Matyiko is in town to rescue a local treasure.
The 68-year-old Navy veteran moves stuff — big stuff, like airport terminals and multistory office buildings — and he's come
to the Vineyard to do something he's done before: save an old
lighthouse from being lost to erosion and falling into the sea. This
time it's the red brick Gay Head Light built in 1856, a scenic attraction and still a functional beacon for sailors.
His craft, learned from his father, has been his life for 40 years.
"You're getting something done," says Matyiko, a Hungarian
name pronounced Ma-TEE-ko. "When you sit behind a desk, you
ain't done (expletive)."
This is Matyiko's sixth lighthouse rescue, and the work promises to be one of the resort island's top attractions as it heads into
summer on this Memorial Day weekend. In 1999 he moved the
208-foot Cape Hatteras beacon in North Carolina, the tallest in

A Beautiful Berry
Add-In for Italy's
Unsung Dessert
By Dorie Greenspan
Special to The New York

I
can usually predict
how dinner at my Italian friends' homes
will end. There might
be fresh fruit for a finish.
Or there might be cheese.
Or there might be fruit and
cheese. But there'll always be
an apology.
"I'm sorry," my friends will
say. "We Italians don't really
make desserts."
Untrue! Untrue! Never mind
all the wonderful crostatas,
those beautiful fruit tarts; cannoli; bomboloni, my favorite
doughnuts; and gelato, a gift
to the planet. What about tiramisu? And how about panna
cotta? If Italy had given us
nothing but the last two, we'd
still have a lot to thank the
country for.
Sadly, tiramisu (which you
and I will make together at
some point), with its layers of
espressoand-rums o a k e d
ladyfingers, mascarpone
and cocoa,
doesn't get
the respect
it deserves,
despite the
fact that it's
a marvel.

dessert many
think of as
"restaurantonly." Inexplicable.

Postal Service Releases Top Dog
Attack Rankings by City
Article Submitted
Rochester ranks
22nd with 18 dog
attacks
T
he U.S. Postal Service released
its top 30 dog-attack city rankings and offered tips to reduce
dog attacks to letter carriers. Nationwide, 5,767 postal employees were
attacked last year. Rochester ranked
22nd with 18 attacks. Carriers in all
of Western New York (ZIP Codes 140
through 149) were victims of 79 dog
attacks. Here are some of the other local Post Office statistics comprised in
the total:
Dansville - 1
Palmyra - 1
Penfield - 2
Penn Yan – 1
Perry - 2
Victor - 1
“There’s a myth we often hear at
USPS file photo.
the Postal Service: Don’t worry, my
dog won’t bite,” said Acting Western
NY District Manager of Safety Daniel
Welch. “Dog attacks are a nationwide
issue and not just a postal problem.
Any dog can bite and all attacks are
preventable through responsible pet
ownership.”
Of the 4.5 million Americans bitten
by dogs annually, half of all victims
are children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-
tion (CDC). The Postal Service, the
medical community, veterinarians
and the insurance industry are working together to educate the public that
dog bites are avoidable by providing
prevention tips during National Dog
Bite Prevention Week from May 16
through 22.
Welch offers the following tips for
dog owners:
• If a letter carrier delivers mail or
packages to your front door, place
your dog in a separate room and close
that door before opening the front
door. Dogs have been known to burst
through screen doors or plate-glass
windows to get at strangers.
• Dog owners should remind their
children about the need to keep the
family dog secured. Parents should
remind their children not to take
mail directly from letter carriers in
the presence of the family pet as the
dog may view the letter carrier handing mail to a child as a threatening
gesture.
• The Postal Service places the safety of its employees as a top priority.

If a letter carrier feels threatened by
a vicious dog or if a dog is running
loose, the owner may be asked to pick
up the mail at the Post Office until
the carrier is assured the pet has been
restrained. If the dog is roaming the
neighborhood, the pet owner’s neighbors may be asked to pick up their
mail at the Post Office as well.

A revised draft of a wide-ranging
plan to develop Steuben County’s
agricultural resources is now available online at http://farmplan.steubencony.org, and will be available for
review and comment until June 8.
Comments also may be sent to Steuben County Planning Director Amy
Dlugos at [email protected] or
at Steuben County Planning Department, 3 E. Pulteney Square., Bath NY
14810.
Dlugos said the revised plan is the
result of an April 14 informational
meeting, which looked for input on
the proposed 10-year 2015 Agriculture & Farmland Protection Plan.
“People had more they wanted to
say, so, of course, they should have a
chance to contribute,” Dlugos said.
The plan is the result of a fall 2014
survey of county residents, numerous
meetings, visits and interviews with
farmers, and intensive work by local
agricultural, economic and planning
groups.
Dlugos said organizers will take into
account additional public comments
in drawing up the final draft, which is
expected to be presented, following a
10 a.m. public hearing June 22, to the
county Legislature.
The county Legislature also will
meet in regular session at 10 a.m.
June 22.

A
fter years in a Boko Haram
camp, the children had forgotten their native language.
They couldn't even remember their
names.
They just stared past Christopher
Fomunyoh when he tried to engage
them. It was a rare glimpse at the human toll left by the extremists who
have been fighting to create an Islamic state in Nigeria and surrounding areas.
Fomunyoh, regional director at the
Washington-based National Democratic Institute, visited the children
recently at an orphanage in the city of
Maroua in northern Cameroon. They
had been rescued by the country's
military in November from a squalid
Boko Haram encampment near the
border with Nigeria.
This is what he saw:

Medical Mystery: It Seemed Like a Stroke,
But Symptoms Only Got Worse
By Sandra G. Boodman
Special to The New York Eagle
News/The Washington Post
B
raced by her partner, Suzanne
Tobin shuffled back to her
car parked in the cavernous
garage at Johns Hopkins Hospital
late on the evening of Oct. 22, 2013,
distraught about what might happen
next.
Tobin, then 60, had been driven
by her partner, James Rapp, from
their Germantown, Md., home to
the Hopkins ER in hopes that doctors there could determine what was
causing her relentless deterioration.
Three months earlier, Tobin had held
a full-time job as a copy editor at
AARP in Washington. She spent an
hour before work striding around the
National Mall for exercise. Now she
could no longer walk unassisted, her
speech was nearly unintelligible and
her left hand was so weak she could
no longer hold a book.
Doctors in suburban Maryland had
diagnosed a stroke — or possibly a
series of strokes — but were unable
to explain why Tobin kept getting
worse by the week. Her neurologist
counseled patience and offered to
prescribe antidepressants, drugs that
Tobin had told him she had taken for
years.
An occupational therapist she'd
been seeing had expressed alarm;
show an old one — nor
any other problem that
would require immediate hospitalization.
They advised her to follow up with her regular
doctors.
At that point, Tobin
recalled, "I was getting
so bad I wasn't sure
what was going to happen."
Less than two months
later, Tobin was back at
Hopkins, this time for
an intensive four-day
inpatient workup that
produced a far different outcome. Within a
day of her admission,
neurologists on her
medical team, headed
Suzanne Tobin and her partner, James Rapp, at a party with her
by Nicholas Maragakis,
sons, their wives and three grandchildren last July, after treatment
and rehabilitation enabled her to walk again. (Courtesy of Suzanne suspected a diagnosis both shocking and

focusing instead on test results that
advised Tobin.
Tobin and Rapp decided their best proved to be misleading.

no new stroke — an earlier MRI that Her internist diagnosed Bell's palsy, a
Rapp had brought along appeared to temporary paralysis of the facial nerve
that can be caused by a viral infection
or Lyme disease. Some cases are mild
and require no treatment; the problem simply resolves on its own after
several weeks. More severe cases are
often treated with prednisone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation.
After Tobin's problem did not improve, her internist prescribed prednisone as well as a short course of
physical therapy in the form of mouth
exercises to improve her speech.
But Rapp and several of Tobin's
co-workers grew concerned that her
symptoms signified something more
serious. Despite PT, she began having
problems moving her left hand and
her speech did not improve.
On her daily walk, Tobin, who formerly worked at The Washington
Post, said she noticed that her left
foot seemed to be "sticking"; several
times she nearly fell. The problem,
known as foot drop, can be a sign of
a pinched nerve, a stroke or a serious neurological illness, including
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS,
commonly known as Lou Gehrig's
disease.
Her internist sent her to a neurologist. In September, an MRI showed
evidence of lesions in the brain's
white matter, which controls overall function, suggestive of a prior
stroke. Most strokes are caused by a
blood clot, but doctors couldn't find
one. Tobin saw a cardiologist, who
ordered tests to determine whether
she had atrial fibrillation, an irregular
heartbeat that can cause a stroke. Although her heart rate was normal, Tobin began taking a drug to lower her
cholesterol, which was elevated, and
another to control her elevated blood
pressure, which had always been normal but was now rising ominously.
The neurologist had prescribed
physical and occupational therapy to
help her recover from her stroke. But
each time she arrived for a session,
therapists discovered that she had deteriorated or that new problems had
emerged. Sometimes her blood pressure was deemed too high for PT.
Most worrisome to Tobin was her
inability to function. Although she
could move her fingers, she was unable to grasp objects with her left
hand. Friends grew increasingly unable to understand her on the phone.
She had mood swings and cried often.
"My emotions felt completely out of
control," she recalled.
By November Tobin, who had
stopped working, was so disabled
that Rapp hired a part-time aide to
care for her while he went to his job
as a computer programmer. The trip
to Baltimore galvanized his search
for a new neurologist. Rapp made
appointments with two Montgomery
County specialists, one of whom sees
stroke patients at Suburban Hospital
in Bethesda, Md., which is affiliated
with Hopkins.
For Tobin, weekday afternoons between 2 and 4, after the aide left and
before Rapp came home from work,
were especially tough. "I remember
sitting on the couch waiting for Jim
to come one day and I started thinking, 'I can't live like this indefinitely
and I don't want to burden Jim or my
family,' " she wrote in an e-mail. The
thought of suicide flitted through her
mind. "That had to be the nadir for
me."
By early December, a new round of
brain MRIs showed additional white
matter lesions, a sign of further neurological injury. A spinal tap failed to
find an infection. Multiple sclerosis,
ALS, Lyme disease and lymphoma
had been ruled out. The neurologist
at Suburban, who strongly suspected
that her problem was not a stroke, referred her to Hopkins for an inpatient
workup.
After a round of specialized blood
tests, the Hopkins team quickly zeroed in on two diagnoses they considered most likely. The first was a
malignant brain tumor. Tobin's CD4
count, which measures a type of
white blood cell that fights infection,
was an alarmingly low 31; normal
counts range from 500 to 1,500. Her
level was equivalent to that of people
with AIDS before a new class of drugs
called antiretrovirals controlled the
virus, preventing its progression. But
tests showed that Tobin did not have
HIV or AIDS; something else had
decimated her immune system.
A second spinal tap revealed the
answer. Tobin's spinal fluid had high
levels of the JC virus. This common
virus, which affects most people in
childhood, usually lies dormant and
rarely causes problems — except in
people with weakened immune systems.
In immunocompromised people,
the CD4 cells that normally keep the
virus in check are vanquished and the
JC virus replicates and invades the
brain, attacking the central nervous
system by destroying the myelin coating that protects nerve cells. The result is a rare disorder called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
What appeared to be Bell's palsy and
then a stroke were actually the first
signs of PML.
The disease is life-threatening; if
left untreated, it kills 30 to 50 percent of those affected in the first three
months after diagnosis. In patients
who survive, the result is typically
significant permanent neurological damage. Tobin was immediately
given drugs to prevent infection and
bolster her immune system.
But one mystery endures: the underlying cause of Tobin's PML. In
addition to HIV, the condition can be
triggered by leukemia and lymphoma
as well as medications, including
chronic use of corticosteroids, such
as those taken for years after an organ
transplant to battle rejection. In some
cases, patients who have taken certain
drugs for multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis have developed it; in
2009, a psoriasis drug was withdrawn
from the market after it was linked to
several fatal cases of PML.
Doctors have combed through
Tobin's records and her medical history but have been unable to discover
what wiped out her immune system.
Her low CD4 count has been classified as idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia, or ICL. (Idiopathic diseases are
those whose causes are unknown.)
"They are both such rare conditions
that maybe 10 or 20 people have both"
ICL and PML, said Bryan Smith, a
neurologist at the National Institute
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
Smith treated Tobin at Hopkins last
year before moving to NIH. Now he

sees her in conjunction with a PML
study in which she is enrolled. (Tobin
is also part of an ICL study at NIH.)
The cause, Smith said, "may just be
random bad luck." Unknown genetic
factors also may play a role. Smith
said there is no way to know how long
Tobin's immune system had been deteriorating, a process that might have
taken months or even years. And the
five-month delay in diagnosis, he said,
probably did not have a negative impact, "except emotionally." The stroke
misdiagnosis, he said, is not surprising because both stroke and PML can
appear to be similar on brain scans.
But stroke patients, he noted, do not
deteriorate as Tobin did.
So far there is little effective treatment for PML. Tobin takes a cocktail
of drugs, including an antibiotic and
an antifungal to ward off infections as
well as mefloquine, an anti-malaria
drug that has shown mixed effectiveness in treating PML. Although her
CD4 count remains low, the level of
JC virus in her spinal fluid has steadily diminished.
After her diagnosis in December
2013, Tobin spent several weeks as an
7
nyeaglenews.com
inpatient at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington learning
how to walk and talk again. She then
entered an outpatient brain injury
program, returning to Hopkins periodically to see neurologists and rehabilitation specialists.
"She is doing remarkably well and is
so upbeat," Smith said.
Tobin can now walk and has regained some use of her left hand. Her
speech has markedly improved in the
past six months, and her e-mails are
thoughtful and detailed. She has resumed driving with special adaptive
equipment. But she is conscious of
her limitations. "I'm like a 2-year-old
in terms of the amount of help I still
need," she said. "I can't cook, and my
short-term memory is totally gone."
Among the hardest things about
coping with her condition and her
impaired immune system, Tobin said,
are her inability to work and the necessity of avoiding illnesses transmitted by her young grandchildren or
their parents.
Of her life now she says, "It's hope
for the best, plan for the worst." "

That's what an emergency-room employee at

an injured veteran who'd managed to get himself to the ER but needed assistance making it
the last 10 feet into the building. He asked for
someone to come out with a wheelchair.
The veteran had stepped down off a curb the
wrong way, felt a snap followed by significant
pain, but managed to drive himself to the hospital. With no other options after the person in
the ER hung up on him, the veteran did call 911,
which sent EMTs to help him that final 10 feet
into the emergency room. The veteran's biggest
concern was that he'd have to pay for the 911

Steuben Hosts Election
Reform Workshop
Those interested in running for local office in Steuben County will be
briefed on new state campaign finance reforms at a 9 a.m.-noon meeting June 2 at the Civil Defense Building in Bath.
The county’s Board of Elections
Commissioners, Republican Veronica
Olin and Democrat Kelly Penziul said
representatives from the state Board
of Elections Campaign Enforcement
Unit will meet with potential candidates and related officials from Steuben and surrounding counties to go
over the campaign finance requirements and how it affects them.
The enforcement unit is expected
to scrutinize the biannual campaign
financial disclosures reports required
by the state from each candidate.
Candidates receiving or spending
$1,000 or more on their campaigns
are required to file financial disclosures with the state.
“Last year they just sent out notices
to candidates, like ‘Hey, you’ve filed
this on the wrong line,’ or ‘We need
a complete address on this one,’” Olin
said. "This year is different."
Candidates could face fines of up
to $10,000 if they fail to file, or make
the required corrections, Olin said.
While failure to file will not prevent a
candidate from running, the state will
impose penalties, she said.
In some instances, each local party’s
treasurer files the disclosure reports,
and is personally accountable to the
state, Olin said.

Safety Monitoring
That Won't Embarrass
A show of hands, please: How many of us want
to wear an emergency-alert pendant around our
necks and announce to the world that we need
to be monitored by others?
Not many of us.
There is a gadget on the market that will allow us to be discreetly monitored in a number of
ways. The Lively 24/7 Emergency Medical Alert
System comes as a watch that can track whether
we take our medications, how often we open the
refrigerator and how many steps we take (to
make sure we're moving around), along with an
additional sensor that can be customized. Miss
taking a pill, and the watch will let you or your
service, but the kind 911 operator assured him
he wouldn't.
At first, hospital personnel claimed it was
policy at all hospitals to make sure someone
is brought in by EMTs because of liability. Not
true. Under a law called the Emergency Medical
Treatment and Labor Act, anyone who gets within 250 yards of a hospital for treatment has to
be seen. While the VA doesn't specifically come
under that law, Section 4.d of its Emergency
Medicine Handbook says it will follow the EMTALA for those getting to the emergency room.
After press inquiries, the hospital changed its
tune and said it didn't do right by the veteran
and that someone should have gone out to get
him. Then the hospital's chief of staff apologized. Lots of apologies all around. What I really
want to know is whether that emergency-room
employee was fired.

family know. If the battery gets low, the watch
will tell you.
The Lively has been around for a while, with
updates added regularly. A new feature that's
coming: The watch can be paired with your cellphone if you need help 24/7 while you're away
from home.
Setup is easy: Plug the sensor hub into the
wall, put on the watch and set up the account
online. You don't need an Internet connection
other than for that.
If you need help, press the button on the
watch. The display can be read in the dark, and
you can even wear the watch in the shower.
The cost of the equipment is $49.95, and
plans start at $27.95 a month, depending whether you pay monthly, yearly or every two years.

Then in September, electric carmaker Tesla announced that it would
build the world's largest battery factory, or "gigafactory," outside Reno,
Nevada, where with its partner Panasonic — which will manufacture the
lithium battery cells that Tesla will
bundle into battery packs to run its
cars — would hire 6,500 employees.
The phone calls poured in to Truckee Meadows. That first class grew to
14 people. The second has 45, with a
nearly 400-person wait list.
For Tesla and Nevada, success will
depend on quickly deploying a skilled
workforce of many more.
Tesla's agreement to a $1.3 billion
incentive package to build its factory
set off a frenzy to prepare Nevadans
for the jobs their taxes are now subsidizing at a rate of $190,000 per posi-
record 10,030 cars
in the first quarter.

ranked last in the country in the

The Tesla deal is one of the nation's percentage of its workforce that is

told Reuters, it's the "biggest thing" a 2014 Brookings Institution report.

"Our biggest concern is capacity,"
over 20 years it will create 20,000 jobs
and generate $100 billion for the state, said Jim New, dean of Truckee Meadows, who has twice toured Tesla's car
which suffered in the recession.
But the agreement also comes at a plant in Fremont, California, to get a
time when economists and academics better idea of its needs.
By fall, the school plans to renoare questioning the wisdom of making big-ticket bets on single compa- vate the warehouse to expand capacity, open on Saturdays and allow stunies.
For all the promises of jobs and dents to come in anytime between 7
growth, Tesla's founder, Elon Musk, a.m. and 9 p.m. "We're talking about
says the company isn't likely to be preparing thousands of people every
profitable until 2020, when he hopes semester, when normally it would be
to sell 500,000 cars a year. Tesla re- 50," New said.
Reno's biography is one of booms
ported in early April that it sold a
and busts: silver-mining in the 1850s,
divorces a half-century later, casinos
beginning in the 1930s and housing
during the real estate bubble, fueled
by cheap land and easy mortgages.
Nevada was dragged low by the
housing crash and recession, leading
to an unemployment rate of 13.7 percent late in 2010, four points above
the national average. As of January, it
still had the highest joblessness rate of
any state, at 7.1 percent.
The arrival of the stock market
darling has created optimism among
locals that Reno could be an outpost
of Silicon Valley, anchored by Lake
Tahoe and the Burning Man festival.
The median price of a single-family
home is one-third that of the Bay
Area. It boasts more than 300 days
of sunshine, and locals brag about
hitting the slopes nearby 30 minutes
after work. Apple co-founder Steve
Wozniak recently tweeted about his
ride through the mountains to Reno
— in a Tesla, of course.
Nevada secured the gigafactory
deal after intense competition from
California, Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona, all dangling hundreds of
millions of dollars in incentives. It
triumphed by providing 980 acres of
rocky, barren land — donated by a
private landowner — access to lithium deposits, tax breaks and proximity to Tesla's California auto assembly
plant.
When it selected Nevada for its factory, Tesla's stock had soared to more
than $280 a share. Twelve years after
Musk founded it, the company is valued at around $24 billion.
It was not the first tech firm to land
here, but the other big-name firms
mostly have back-office operations
that employ far fewer people. Apple
has a large data presence, and Microsoft's operations center is nearby. In
January, Switch, based in Las Vegas,
announced that it would build a $1
billion data center.
Tesla has largely promised Nevada
production work, not the high-minded stuff that leads Musk to call it a
"software company as much as it is a
hardware company." By 2020 Musk
said he would like to produce 35 gigawatts annually of battery power, the
accelerant to launch his cars into the
mass market.
It seems a far-off goal: The company
sold an estimated 18,750 of its Model
S roadsters in 2014, at a sticker price
of about $70,000. Tesla says the batteries will help it to bring the cost of a
future car, the Model 3, down to about
$35,000. No one really knows how big
the nascent, and competitive, market
for electric cars will be. And other
auto titans — Ford, Nissan, General
Motors — are making inroads.
Making sure that Nevadans land the
jobs and that Tesla gets the people it
needs will require expansive cooperation between the company, schools
and the government. Reno stakeholders are painfully aware of how close
the California border is, about 250
miles along the interstate through the
Tahoe National Forest, for engineers
or managers who would consider a
weekly commute.
"I think there is a real possibility
that there will be commuter workers,"
said Mark Muro, a senior fellow at
the Brookings Institution who co-authored the report on the state's workforce. "If the skills are not there, then
there will not be the quality of the battery product, and that will complicate
things both for Tesla and for the State
of Nevada."
A challenge for some educators
has been determining what types
of workers the companies need and
when they will be needed. In its application for subsidies, Tesla outlined
6,500 jobs created over eight years,
including 4,550 production associates, 460 equipment technicians, 360
quality technicians and 200 material
handlers making $22 to $28 an hour.
It also lists 930 jobs for engineers
and senior staff making an average of
$41.83 an hour, or $80,000 annually.
Since then, New, the dean of Truckee Meadows, was given a more specific breakdown of positions needed,
along with qualifications. Among the
jobs and descriptions listed are Paint
Robotics Technician (requirements:
"Expert in robot programming. Good
overall computer skills.") and Inventory Control Manager ("Knowledge
of change control processes is a
must.").
Officials also say they expect Tesla
to hire about 300 interns, and students who have interviewed said they
believed the jobs required working in
the Fremont facility and then returning to open the one in Reno.
Taylor Glasgow, 23, an engineering
student at the University of Nevada
at Reno, said he interviewed to be an
operations intern helping to expand
the Fremont facility. The school will
launch a minor in battery science this
fall. “They’re just going so fast," he
said. "I think everyone wants to start
off with them."
In March, Tesla set up at a career
fair at University of Nevada at Reno,
and more than 200 people got in line,
résumés in hand. "It was a three-hour
wait for a five-minute conversation,"
said engineering student Lander Kennedy, 24.
Tesla's agreement with the state requires it to make two contributions
to education — $1 million to the
University of Nevada at Las Vegas
for battery-related research and $37.5
million to improve K-12 education.
Ray Bacon, executive director of the
Nevada Manufacturers Association,
said it will take years for the state to
prepare the people needed for the
Tesla jobs.
"We don't have that technical experience, right now, today," he said. "No
one can argue that we do. And if they
do, they're smoking something. So it's
going to take some time to get up to
speed.
Interlopers are another concern.
"Forty-nine percent of the jobs
could be going to Californians, so to
us, California came out smelling like
roses," said Greg LeRoy, executive director the advocacy group Good Jobs
First. "They will get a lot of the benefits and none of the costs."
Steve Hill, who negotiated the deal
for Sandoval, said that the state had
protected itself in case Tesla's workforce falls below agreed totals or it
fails to invest the $3.5 billion it has
committed. Every quarter, an audit of
the jobs will be performed, Hill said,
and if at least half the hires aren't from
__________________

Nevada, all the subsidies come off the
table and Tesla would need to repay
any benefits it received, with interest.
In its first audit, Tesla said it had hired
455 people for construction jobs, 80
percent of whom were from Nevada.
"The $3.5 billion of investment and
the 50 percentage of Nevadans are
light switches," Hill said. "They either
go on or they go off. And if they ever
go off, it's over."
Like many software companies,
Tesla closely guards its secrets. Construction of the gigafactory itself can
be viewed by the public only by driving up a steep rocky trail, passing wild
horses and tumbleweed on the way. A
dirt berm has been raised on the perimeter, restricting the view, and Stan
Thomas, executive vice president of
the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, said he expected Tesla to acquire the surrounding ridge.
"They're going to buy the mountains around it so no can see in there,"
he said.
Officials for Tesla and Panasonic
declined to discuss gigafactory hiring
or workforce preparation.
"Right now, we're focused on building the gigafactory," spokesman Khobi Brooklyn said. "We're building in
phases and working with a number
of partners in our construction efforts. And because we are building in
phases, we are constantly modulating
resources based on the scope of work
at that time."
But some consider the company's
secrecy a hindrance to job prepara-

tion.
Ann Silver, executive director of
JOIN, a job training nonprofit group
funded by the Labor Department,
said that despite a visit from a Panasonic rep, she has been unable to get
the information she needs on job descriptions and skills from the companies.
"I don't want my clients to be the
9,000th person in a line of 10,000
people at a job fair with everyone
from North Dakota to Utah to Arizona standing in front of them," she
said.
Silver, a 25-year veteran of corporate human resources in New York,
said every company should know
what kind of people it will need, at
least six months out.
"I understand that priority is supposed to be given, but that means
nothing if we don't do the training
and preparation ahead of time," she
said. "How could it ever be too early
to train people for these jobs?"
Hill said he has another hedge in
case Tesla doesn't come through: The
lithium batteries built in Northern
Nevada could be packaged for other
electronics and devices.
"People tend to forget that the demand for batteries is more on the
renewable energy side than it will be
for Tesla's electric vehicles," Hill said.
"We certainly root for Tesla and hope
that works. But the opportunity for
both utility sale and distributed generation storage is really much bigger,
at least over the next five or 10 years,
than the Tesla demand will be."
There is some debate about that.
Richard Chamberlain, chief technol-
ogy officer of Boston-Power, a global
supplier of lithium-ion battery products, said the "18650" cells from Panasonic could "potentially be used in
many different applications."
Other experts have suggested that
there is already an overcapacity of
lithium batteries and that the market
for the Panasonic cells is drying up
as designs for laptop computers and
tablets evolve.
Either way, local officials have come
to believe that Tesla will do more than
build batteries. Mike Kazmierski,
president of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada,
said he is already seeing a trail of
companies following Musk to Reno.
"Four or five years ago, who would
ever want to say that they had a Reno
address?" he said.
In one of the manufacturing labs
at Truckee Meadows, a half-dozen
students tinkered with the machinery on a recent afternoon. There was
John Leniz, a 45-year-old who owned
a brewpub in a local mall that was
replaced by the Cheesecake Factory.
There was Jessica Irwin, 31, who after
a stint selling things on eBay decided
to try her hand at manufacturing instead.
And there was Terrence Nearn,
fresh off celebrating his 50th birthday, who read about the Tesla factory
in the newspaper while living in Orlando. He flew to Reno and moved in
with family before starting the course.
"There's a lot of opportunities for
jobs up here," Nearn said. "But Tesla
is the one that really made me take
notice."

Double-Strawberry Buttermilk Panna Cotta
Yield: 4 servings
MAKE AHEAD: The individual panna cottas (with jam underneath) need to be refrigerated for at least 2 hours and
up to 2 days in advance. Top with the fresh berries just before serving.
Ingredients:
For the jam
•1 pint (8 ounces) fresh strawberries, hulled, rinsed, dried and thickly sliced
•2 teaspoons honey
•1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
•For the panna cotta
•2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) unflavored gelatin
•3 tablespoons cold water
•1 cup heavy cream
•1/4 cup sugar
•2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
•1 cup whole or low-fat buttermilk, preferably at room temperature
For the topping
•1 pint (8 ounces) fresh strawberries, hulled, rinsed, dried and cut into quarters
•1 tablespoon sugar
•Freshly cracked black pepper or crushed pink peppercorns (optional)
Steps:
Set heatproof dessert bowls, small tumblers or canning jars on a baking sheet or plate lined with paper towels, parchment or wax paper. (This makes ferrying the glasses in and out of the refrigerator safe and easy.)
For the jam: Stir the berries and honey together in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until
the liquid that develops becomes syrupy, about 4 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and stir for 1 minute, then remove
from the heat.
Divide evenly among the bowls, glasses or jars; freeze for about 30 minutes or only long enough to firm up the jam
while you make the panna cotta.
For the panna cotta: Put the gelatin in a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup or spouted bowl that holds at least 3
cups. Pour in the cold water; let the mixture sit on the counter for about 3 minutes or until the gelatin is thoroughly
moistened.
Meanwhile, pour the cream into a small saucepan. Stir in the sugar and cook over medium heat just until the mixture
boils around the edges.
Heat the softened gelatin in the microwave on HIGH for 15 seconds or just until it has liquefied.
Pour the hot sweetened cream mixture over the gelatin, add the vanilla extract and stir to blend. (If your buttermilk is
cold, first pour it into the hot saucepan and stir it around to temper it.) Stir in the buttermilk.
Remove the bowls, glasses or jars from the freezer; divide the panna cotta mixture among them. Refrigerate until the
panna cotta is set, at least 2 hours, before serving.
For the topping: About 5 minutes before you're ready to serve, mix the strawberries and sugar together in a medium
bowl; let them sit for several minutes, just until the berries glisten and start to get juicy. Spoon the berries on top of each
panna cotta, and, if you'd like, sprinkle with cracked black pepper or a pinch of crushed pink peppercorns.

PANNA COTTA FROM COVER
_________________________
set you thinking about foods for the
faint and sickly. Resist! The dish is
kind of a custard, kind of a pudding
and kind of a wriggly jelled dessert. It
is basic — almost primal in the way
it satisfies — and yet elegant. Simple
things can be that way.
In this recipe (shown at left), the
cream is, indeed, cooked, but not
much. It's scalded — only until bubbles form around the border of the
pan — and then mixed with tangy
buttermilk and flavored with vanilla.
What makes it spoonable rather than
slurpable is the addition of powdered
gelatin, a much-maligned ingredient
that's actually magical. Here, it turns
the liquid into something almost velvety.
This panna cotta would be fine with
nothing more, but the addition of
strawberries, cooked and raw, makes
it even finer. For the base layer, there's
a quickly cooked jam of strawberries with a drizzle of honey. Once the
berries bubble and break, a matter of
minutes, you add a little balsamic —
just enough to restore the sweet-acidic balance that strawberries are prized
for. Also just enough to add a little
mystery (one of my favorite ingredients in any dish). To keep the jam in
its place, spoon it into the glasses or
bowls you're using for the dessert and
pop them into the freezer while you
make the panna cotta.
The berries that crown the dessert
are merely cut and sugared; leave
them alone until they glisten and get
juicy. Then, if you like, season them
with either freshly cracked black pepper or pinched-between-your-fingers
pink peppercorns.
You've got only one thing to watch
out for, and it's easy: Make sure the
gelatin is completely moistened and
then completely liquefied before mix-
ing it with the cream and the buttermilk. Pour the cold water over the
gelatin, let it rest until it has expanded
(or bloomed) and make sure there are
no dry spots; if there are, add a bit
more cold water and wait. The easiest
way to liquefy the gelatin is to put it
the microwave for 15 seconds.
I think of this recipe as a gateway
panna cotta. Use it to learn the basics,
and then andiamo! Infuse the cream
with different flavors. Heat the cream
with herbs (basil, thyme and lemon
grass are great with berries) or spices
(fresh ginger, cinnamon stick, cracked
cardamom) or swap the vanilla extract for a few vanilla beans, split,
their seeds and pulp scraped into the
pan. Once the cream is scalded, turn
off the heat, cover the pan and let it
sit for about 20 minutes. Reheat the
cream, strain it over the gelatin and
keep going.
Of course, you can play around
with the jam and fresh-fruit topping.
But I hope you'll try the berries: first,
because the combination is great;
and second, because May is National
Strawberry Month, and who doesn't
love a celebration?

Athletic Audi Q3 Quattro Brings
Unexpected Life Changes
The New York Eagle News/

B
eware the next car you buy.
If you like it enough, it'll
make you do weird things.
Things such as offering to pick up coworkers who live in far- flung places
on a Monday-morning commute.
Things like fetching a friend from
JFK Airport, even though he doesn't
land until 10 p.m. on a Thursday.
Such things as agreeing to a Sunday
drive through touristy Brooklyn, despite the wobbly brunch crowds.
If it has a sunroof that spans the
length of the car, that won't help
matters — especially on that Sunday
drive.
And if it happens to be the 2015
Audi Q3 Quattro — well, you're
done. It has that sunroof. It also has
a fresh, modern body and a spacious
interior made with the same thoughtful design as a pair of Nike trainers.
It's neither too big to park in the city
nor too small to fit several friends for
an impromptu road trip.
This is a car that could foist unexpected life changes upon you.
The Q3 is Audi's smallest crossover — shorter than the Q5 but taller
than the A3 Sportback. It comes with
a 200-horsepower turbocharged engine, a six-speed transmission, and
Audi's trademark "Quattro" all-wheel
drive. Speed-sensitive power steering

and an off-road mode come standard.
Driving the Q3 feels like a holiday
from the mundane crossovers that
litter suburban parking lots nationwide. (Lexus and Infiniti, I'm looking at you.) It handles corners with
the grace of a Balanchine dancer, and
it's as polite as a five-star hotel concierge when you brake. Its steering
is smooth and responsive, engaging
drivers rather than lulling them into
over-teched stupor, as some luxury
vehicles are wont to do.
The Q3 surges to 60 miles per hour
in just over seven seconds, with a
highway efficiency of 29 miles per
gallon. Those are not the best numbers in its segment, but they are commensurate with the size and price
of this vehicle. (The much- more-

expensive Porsche Macan Turbo gets
to 60mph in 4.6 seconds, but it costs
$73,900; the $31,200 BMW X1 gets
34mpg on the highway.
In short, the Q3 should land high
on your list when you're considering something spacious enough to
fulfill family needs, quick enough to
challenge sport sedans on the highway, and stylish enough to complement your cosmopolitan lifestyle.
The $32,500 price tag and Germanmarque cachet add to its appeal.
Which German for You?
In fact, the real question here isn't
whether or not the Q3 is a good car
— it is — but whether it fits your personality. More specifically, whether
it fits your personality better than its

the $41,100 Range Rover Evoque, and

ment deserves thoughtful attention
from those considering a purchase.
They're good cars — levels ahead of
what we saw in this price segment 10
years ago, just one generation in automotive aging.
So do you want the supremely precise steering and strict German drivetrain of the X1 or the superior technological advancements and cush feel
of the GLA? Do you like the fresh
athleticism and young creative image
of the Q3 or the British heritage and
off-roading bloodline of the Evoque?
For most people, choosing the Audi
— over, say, the Merc — comes down
to brand loyalty and image more than
anything else. Personality Profile.
Here's what the Q3 offers: bold
xenon headlights, sharp iridescent
wedge taillights, and 19-inch, 5-double-spoke, off- road-ready wheels.
This feat of design — which feels
elevated well past the height of a car
when you're behind the wheel, but
looks sedan-sized from afar — took
me a minute to find one morning as
my gaze swept the street for an SUVsized rig.
The Q3 has front and rear fog lights,
power-heated side mirrors, rear privacy glass, aluminum roof rails, and
a tailgate spoiler. And the large lateral grill that's unmistakable on every
modern Audi.
Along its sides, a straight body line
runs from the front lights to the high
rear hips. It creates a crisp and strong
profile. Each wheel, too, looks sharp
and bold, placed evenly from each
end of the car.
Inside, the unfettered elbow room
was a boon for my long limbs, and the
black leather, heated seats supported
my long back admirably. (Alright, I
may have fallen deep asleep one afternoon while waiting for a friend.) The
dashboard is minimal, without feeling
bare, and the entertainment system is
intuitive and ergonomically designed.
Ambient LED lights throughout add
to the luxe effect.
Audi's message here is that its driver
is educated, young, and thoughtful,
with an eye toward modest design.
If you do buy this car, I urge
you to choose the Prestige version
(just about $4,000 more, starting at
$36,400), where you'll find such necessary extras as the park assist system,
power tailgate, and 14-speaker BOSE
surround sound. You'll forget the
minimal additional cost in no time.
And yes, to some degree or another,
you can also find all these nice things
in the BMW X1 or the Mercedes GLA
Class. It means you're going to have to
decide what, specifically, you want to
feel the most when you drive — and
what you want your car to say about
you.
Better get started on those test
drives.

China Calls on Drivers to Be
'Civilized' After Woman Kicked in
Head in Fit of Road Rage
The New York Eagle News/
Bloomberg News
T
he horrific incident shocked
the nation when it went viral
in China earlier this month: a
woman dragged from her car, thrown
to the ground and kicked repeatedly
in the face and head in a case of road
rage in Sichuan.
And it was hardly an isolated event.
About 100 million road-rage incidents have been reported since January 2012, according to the Ministry
of Public Security. Incidents arising
from drivers forcefully changing
lanes or disrespecting the right of
way rose 10 percent in the first four
months of this year, compared with
the same period last year, it said.
"People are easily agitated nowadays, feel underappreciated and disrespected, and they take it out on the
road by being bullies on the road,"
Sun Xiaohong, a prominent female
observer of the auto industry for
more than a decade, said in an interview.
As a result of the public debate over
the video, the security ministry is-
sued a statement May 8 calling on
drivers to be "civilized," follow traffic
rules and manage their anger.
"Offensive driving caused by road
rage is a severe violation of law that
disrupts order and endangers traffic
safety," the ministry said in the statement. "Drivers should consciously
rein in their road rage."
The anger in China is rising in tandem with the 10-fold surge in vehicle
ownership over the past decade, causing motorists to fight for everything
from parking spaces to right of way.
Across the country, zebra crossings
are routinely ignored by motorists,
angry honking is epidemic and jaywalking is rampant. Road rage caused
about 82,000 car accidents last year,
a 2.4 percent increase over 2013, the
ministry said.
About one in three drivers surveyed
by the Chinese Academy of Social
Sciences in Beijing, Shanghai and
Guangzhou said they were part of a
"road-rage tribe," meaning they had
gotten into fights with other drivers,
according to the public security ministry.
"Driving etiquette hasn't kept up
with the number of cars and motorists," Sun said by phone.
In the Sichuan incident, which surfaced in early May, a man can be seen
getting out of his car after forcing a
female driver to stop in the road. He
opens her door, drags her out, and
flings her to the ground, repeatedly
kicking her in the face and head, then
throwing her to the ground again
each time she tries to get up.
Police in Chengdu issued a statement saying that a man called Zhang
was "taken into criminal detention"
in connection with the incident and
is suspected of the crime of picking a
fight and provoking trouble.
The man was incensed that the
woman had suddenly cut into his
lane, forcing him to brake hard and
scaring his wife and child, who were
in the car, according to a report by
China Central Television.
While sympathy poured in for the
woman after the beating video, public
opinion soon turned against her after
another video was released online
purportedly showing her cutting off
the man by switching abruptly into
his lane.
More than 10,000 commenters
posted on the police's microblog,
many in support of the beating and
using vitriol and offensive language
Virtual Crash, Real Injuries:
Now, That's a Simulator

ECHNOLOGY
". . . So Realistic It Can
Break Your Wrists," Popularmechanics.com
Is Grand Theft Auto not exciting
enough for you? For $54,000, you
can strap yourself into a virtual rig
that can emulate the feel of more
than 1,000 different race cars and put
you on real-life tracks projected on a
high-resolution screen. It then sub-
jects you to rocking, vibrations and
a force-feedback steering wheel that
so completely imitate real conditions
that you might actually get injured,
according to an article on the Web
site of Popular Mechanics magazine.
Eric Limer writes that CXC Simulation, maker of the Motion Pro II racing simulator, found that the "most
effective way to fool the brain into
thinking it was experiencing race-like
G-forces" was to target quick bursts of
motion at the head and torso, where
real drivers say they especially feel Gforces. When the Motion Pro II adds
in the jostling and vibrating, the re-
sult is potentially dangerous. Limer
quotes CXC founder and ex-racer
Chris Considine: "If you hit the wall
in an Indy car and don't take your
hands off the wheel, you'll break your
wrists. Our wheel is a one-to-one replication of that, but we don't turn it up
that high. It's the first time we've been
able to replicate racing forces so high
that it introduces liability questions."
The story is accompanied by a
video, seen from behind the driver,
showing the simulator's cockpit rocking as the raceway speeds past on the
wraparound screens. It's enough to
get your right foot itching to brake.
As Limer writes: "The toys out there
for pros are clearly totally insane.”

against the woman.
"Uncle policeman, I'd like to donate
100 yuan to the man to show appreciation for him enforcing justice on
behalf of the heavens," read one by a
poster using the name Romance Milk
Little Sister.
"That damn woman totally asked for
it," another poster called Yuki wrote.
The drastic turn in public opinion
led the woman to apologize.
"I am sorry for my rash and illogical driving," the female driver, identified as 28-year-old Lu Qin, wrote in
an open letter dated May 11 that was
first published by the Southern Metropolitan Daily and then picked up
by official media including the Xinhua News Agency. "My family and I
have felt the full force of online violence, and it has hurt my family badly,
which is why I don't wish for the same
to be inflicted on Mr. Zhang and his
family. We have all paid the price."
Neither Zhang nor Lu could be
reached for comment.
Autohome.com, a popular carinformation website, shut down the
comments function accompanying
an essay written by the commentator
Sun after she posted that Zhang was
wrong for physically attacking Lu.
The essay drew defamatory and violent postings as well.
Road rage may worsen. Official
forecasts are for 1 billion Chinese to
get their driving licenses in the next
10 to 15 years. More than 150 million
civilian vehicles were in use in China
as of last year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
China will start trials this year in
select cities to let license seekers take
a test without requiring them to enroll in a driver's learning program,
according to a posting on the website
of the police in Hebei province dated
April 16.
The Chengdu beating isn't even the
most violent case of road rage in China this month. CCTV also reported
on an elderly man who died in Yunnan after a Mercedes-Benz driver ran
him over and fled after they argued
over cutting in line.

Virginia Teen Kenney Is Ready to Break Out on
Boxing's Biggest Stage
By Brandon Parker
Washington Post
W
ith each jarring thud to
the midsection, Iesha
Kenney lets out a deep
groan. Hair in a frizzy bun with black
shorts dangling over her bright blue
socks, Kenney lies on the gym's floor,
surrounded by a circle of chiseled
male onlookers as she braces for punishing body shots from the 25-pound
medicine ball wielded by her trainer.
When Kenney wandered into the
gym at Charles Houston Recreation
Center in Alexandria, Virginia, six
years ago, it was supposed to be a
distraction from life's painful blows.
There, she wouldn't have to think
about why her father had bounced in
and out of her life, why her mother
had to support her family on welfare
during a year of unemployment or
why her older brother and best friend
died at the age of 18.
But now Kenney, a 17-year-old junior at T.C. Williams High School in
Alexandria, has become a legitimate
contender in the Olympics' newest
sport, women's boxing. She has won

Kenney's father had moved out
when she was 6, and with her mother,
Wanda, working long hours to make
ends meet for her, her brother and
three cousins, Kenney had grown
tired of watching television at home.
Soon after the remodeled Charles
Houston Recreation Center opened
in 2008, of all the rooms Kenney
toured, she and her friend chose the
boxing gym as the ideal place to camp
out in the corner and read books.
Kenney's friend soon began training with Dennis Porter, who has
headed the Alexandria Boxing Club
for more than 20 years. It wasn't long
before boxer-turned-trainer Kay Koroma took the quiet 11-year-old Kenney under his wing.
Koroma had been down this road
before, training a novice female
fighter, until instability at home and
an unplanned pregnancy derailed her
career.
"With Iesha it was like, do I want
to take this on again, to train another
girl and put my heart into it?" Koroma
said. "I saw that she was serious, and
when she first stepped into the ring to
spar, I said, this is not no girl. She's actually fighting the boys back, no eyes
closed or anything like that. She's actually doing what we told her to do,
and it was like, wow, maybe we got
something here."
Kenney's life wasn't completely devoid of the pitfalls that doomed Koroma's last female pupil. When Kenney
was 10, Wanda lost her job. As her
mother's unemployment stretched to
a year and one of her cousins had a
child, the family, receiving minimal
aid from Kenney's father, was forced
to go on welfare.
"Regardless of what her father does
or doesn't do, I'm going to make sure
she gets what she needs," said Wanda,
who works as a cashier at Safeway.
"When they was smaller, Iesha was
in a dance group, and he could never
show up. If he feel the need to, sometimes he'd show up. So it was habit
that we were used to him not showing
up. And when he do show up, it's not
good."
Kenney calls her relationship with
her father "complicated," a byproduct
of the many broken promises and infrequent visits, even though they live
about a mile apart on Alexandria's
west side. Her local boxing club family has filled the void.
Koroma serves as "her dad," stern
at times while coddling her at others, at least in the eyes of some who
enter the red, white and blue ropes
with Kenney. He knows how to motivate her, once shrewdly toggling with
Kenney's competitive spirit during
the last round of her fourth fight.
"Kay says, 'You're losing. What are
you going to do about it?' " said Kenney. "I'm like, 'Aaahh, I don't know,'
and I start crying and panicking because I hate to lose. So I went out
there and got a standing eight-count
on the girl."
The dread of defeat has served as a
driving force for Kenney, but staying
hungry can be a challenge in the wobbly world of women's boxing. Before
she qualified to compete for Team
USA by winning the first of three
titles at the junior and youth open
national championships in 2013, it
took nearly three years for Kenney to
find an age-appropriate opponent in
her weight class. And even then, she
had to bend the rules, settling for a
2011 New Jersey exhibition against a

seasoned 22-year-old. Kenney, only
14 at the time, won by second-round
stoppage.
"There are no girls in Virginia, like,
at all," Kenney said. "And there's
something about going to a tournament and not fighting. On one hand,
I don't have the time. And then you're
like, 'I did all this work for nothing.' "
With the sport's introduction at the
2012 Olympics, a new pinnacle was
created — one that many in the boxing community believe Kenney can
reach. But despite growing numbers,
a stigma still looms over the idea of
women boxing.
"One thing you have to accept as a
woman in a male-dominated industry, any time you go out there, you're
representing all women," said Dara
Shen, a USA Boxing national champion and Kenney's mentor at the
Alexandria Boxing Club. "If they see
a bad performance, they will think
women are bad. If they see us and see
good things, people will think women
are good. We carry that on our backs
every time we get in the ring, and I
think Iesha understands that."
In embracing that burden, Kenney
doesn't neglect who she is, a fun-loving teenager with a long imagination
and a promising future.
At events, many mistake her as a
fan, puzzled as to why a fighter would
pass the time between bouts burying her bespectacled face in a young
adult fiction book. She used to play
the violin, but she recently gave it up
so she could focus more on her desire to study chemical engineering.
And while other girls her age are into
wearing makeup, Kenney's accessories include a Pokemon belt, Batman
socks or her Superman outfit, red velcro cape included.
"I'm not even sure she's aware that
when she walks around, she's like a
cartoon character," Alexandria club
middleweight boxer Antoine Douglas
said with a laugh. "She's always joking, always happy. But when she's in

side. I couldn't throw my jab. Well, I
could, but there was nothing behind
it."
Her ability to absorb the pain just to
finish the fight is why she has earned
the respect of her peers. Kenney is
far from the quickest or most athletic fighter at the Alexandria Boxing
Club, but her drive, as much as her
heavy-handed jab, separates her from
the pack.
It's the same drive that's yielded a
3.9 GPA in Advanced Placement and
honors classes at T.C. Williams, where
she has maneuvered around her busy
schedule and endured her personal
heartaches to extend her potential far
beyond the ring.
"If she wins [an Olympic] gold medal, she'll be on top," Porter said. "But
she has education to fall back on, and
I actually think boxing is sometimes
a hobby for her because . . . she'll be
successful at whatever she does."
As this story was written last week,
Kenney's focus was on succeeding at
last week's tournament in Taiwan.
As was the case during her last appearance at the event, her shoulder
remained sore, threatening to jeopardize her quest for vengeance. Fortunately for Kenney, pain is a feeling she
has learned to stomach. She went on
to win bronze following an impressive
run through the tournament.
"You really see the heart of a boxer
when they have no gas left, and you
see what they do with what they've
got," Shen said. "Some people just
give up. But there's no hiding in the
ring; they show who they are with no
words. With Iesha, you can see the
heart in her."

Pet-Friendly Plants
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: There is plenty of advice out there on outdoor and indoor plants that
aren't safe for your cat or dog. What plants can
they be around? -- Gerry H., Mobile, Alabama
DEAR GERRY: There are plenty of plants,
fruits and vegetables that you can grow indoors
and out, without worrying that your pet will get
into them.
The website dogsinthegarden.com lists hundreds of plants and flowers that are safe for
dogs, and even points out a few that are useful,
such as varieties of squash and cucumber. Indoors, pet-friendly houseplants include bamboo,
cactus, cast-iron plant and ponytail palms.
So, are there plants that you want to grow but
1. Name the solo artist who had a solo hit
with "Sunshine."
2. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is the signature song of which duo?
3. Which country artist released "He'll
Have to Go" in 1959?
4. Where did the lyrics come from for
"Turn, Turn, Turn"?
5. Name the song that contains this lyric:
"Well I learned how to love, Even learned how
to lie, So you think I could learn, How to tell
you goodbye."
Answers
1. Jonathan Edwards, in 1971. Despite
having only the one hit, Edwards has been
busy all these years collaborating with other
artists, opening shows, doing session work
and touring.
2. Simon and Garfunkel, in 1970. The song
won five Grammys.
3. Jim Reeves. The song stayed at No. 11
for a whopping 14 weeks.
4. The Bible -- Chapter 3 of the Book of
Ecclesiastes.
5. "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" by Neil
Diamond (1977) and Barbra Streisand
(1978). A radio station program director
spliced together the two solo versions as a
present for his wife, whom he had just divorced, and played it on the air. The media
response was such that the record company
brought Streisand and Diamond back to the
studio to record a duet.

aren't sure if they're safe for your pets? Do
your due diligence: research whether or not a
specific plant is toxic to pets, what parts of it are
toxic and how severe the effects can be.
Grow such plants in an area that is inaccessible to your pet. For example, if you're growing
plants indoors, do so in a separate room such
as a sunroom and place them in hard-to-reach
hanging baskets. Keep long fronds or branches
trimmed back. Outdoors, place the plants in an
area that is away from your dog's normal roaming area, or fence them off.
Monitor your pets anytime they may be
around plants that aren't safe. If they ingest
part of the plant, watch carefully for signs of
toxicity (vomiting, drooling, lethargy or listlessness, among other symptoms). If the plants are
known to be very toxic -- such as lilies, for cats
-- immediately take your pet to the veterinarian
without waiting for symptoms to appear.

This Guy
Doesn’t Need
Solomon
A man and his wife are in court
getting a divorce. They are standing in front of a judge who is deciding which of them will get custody
of their children. The wife tells the
judge, "I'm their mother. I birthed
them and I should get to raise
them."
The judge then turns to the father and asks for his reasoning.
The man thinks for a while and
retorts, "If I put a $1.50 into a pop
machine and a coke comes out, the
does the machine get the coke?" ■
I Got a Part!
Thomas has tried out for every
school play since 2nd grade and he
finally gets a part. He rushes home

I got a part!"
His dad asks him, "Oh yeah? Who
do you play?"
His son replies, "I play a man
who's been married for 30 years
with 4 children."
The father says, "Oh, I'm sorry
son. Maybe next time you'll get a
speaking part." ■
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might not
like some people's idea of a surprise. But you
could be in for a pleasant shock when someone
finally sends a reply to a request you made so
long ago that you almost forgot about it.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It's a time to
expect the unexpected. So don't be surprised if
a decision that just recently seemed final suddenly opens up and leaves you with another
chance to make an important choice.

A Man Walks
Into a Bar
A man walks into the bar and
says, "Pour me a stiff one! Just got
into another fight with the old
lady."
The bartender asks him, "How'd
it end this time?"
The man replies, "She came
crawling back to me on her hands
and knees."
The bartender is surprised,
"Wow, that's a change. What'd she
say?"
The man says, "She said, 'Come
out from under there, you little
wimp.'" ■
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking a different tack on a work project might rankle some
colleagues. But the positive results of your innovative course soon speak for themselves. Celebrate with a fun-filled weekend.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Meeting new
associates can be awkward, even if you're in
a high positive phase right now. Best advice:
Make them feel comfortable, and you'll soon
forget your own discomfort.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) It's a good time
for you social Lions to blow-dry your manes,
polish your claws and look like the Fabulous
Felines you are as you make new friends and
influence the influential.
Kids' Maze Puzzle can be found on page 27
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expectations run especially high this week, and you
should feel confident in your abilities to take
advantage of what might be offered. A colleague
has some advice you might find helpful.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A recent flurry of activity leaves you in need of a
little breathing space, and you'd be wise to take
it. Close family members should have an explanation about an emergency situation that just
passed.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An
insensitive act makes a difficult situation more
so. But try not to waste either your physical or
emotional energies in anger. Move on and let
others fill the clod in on the facts of life.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December
21) It's a good time to look into that training
program or college course you've been considering. You might have a good place to use those
sharpened skills sooner rather than later.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
Education dominates much of your aspect during this week. You might want to start checking
out those summer session courses that could
help advance your career plans.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Progress often comes in fits and starts. But
at least you're moving straight ahead with no
backsliding. You should soon be able to pick up
the pace and reach your goals in due time.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be wary
of a deal that gives confusing answers to your
questions. Remember: It's always risky swimming in unknown waters, so you need all the
help you can get to stay on course.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of bringing people together and creating close friendships wherever you go.

Travel Q & A
Q
: I'm going on an escorted tour
of New Zealand and Australia,
including flights from LAX,
for a cost of over $6,000. I am thinking to buy travel insurance for canceling, delays, medical care and evacuation, loss of luggage, etc. Should I buy
a comprehensive policy, or should I
try to get just the coverage I think I'll
need, or should I not buy travel insurance at all?
A: I would consider insurance for
that kind of trip. You probably don't
need the gold-plated version, but get
something that covers cancellations,
medical evacuation and hospitalization, and make sure that it covers any
existing medical conditions.
— Christopher Elliott
Q: My husband and I are taking a
Viking river cruise down the Rhine
River in early June. The cruise starts
in Amsterdam in the evening. We
will arrive in the early a.m. We would
like to visit the Rijksmuseum and
the Anne Frank House. Will we have
enough time for both and should we
purchase tickets ahead of time or can
we wait until we get there.
A: You should have no trouble in
this compact city. It would take you
less than 40 minutes to walk from Rijksmuseum to the Anne Frank House
and then to the cruise ship. And the

airport is about a 20-minute drive
from the dock. You can usually board
the ship by 3 p.m., although it won't
sail until later. Check with the line to
find out how late they will be in Amsterdam.
— Carol Sottili
Q: We want to visit Savannah and
can go for a few days the first week of
June. No special reason, just haven't
ever been. Are we nuts for going then,
re: heat and humidity? We can deal
with some, but don't want to totally
wilt.
A: It'll likely be in the high 80s and
there is a good chance of afternoon
thunderstorms. Lots of walking is
necessary to properly visit Savannah,
so if you're bothered by heat, may be
better to go in a cooler month.
- Carol Sottili
Q: Is it realistic in five nights to do
both San Francisco and Yosemite for
an active family of three (teen kid)?
And is it too late to plan for late August? Airfares for nonstops seem to be
at $425 roundtrip, which seems pretty
good. I don't have a sense of how far
it is to Yosemite from the city. Thanks
for any guidance.
A: The national park is about 200
miles east of the San Fran area. I think
you might feel a bit rushed, especially
if your five nights includes travel from
the East Coast. But the trip is doable if
you get on the road early and know in
advance what you want to see and do.
One caveat: Lodging fills up fast in
the summer, so book your lodging as
soon as possible.
— Andrea Sachs
Q: A friend has advised me that
if you check airfares around 3 a.m.,
you can often find lower fares than
at other times of the day. I have never
heard of this before so I am wondering about its veracity.
A: Yes, I've heard the same thing.
Usually, it's tied to a day of the week,
too. You might find less expensive
fares early Tuesday morning — but
do you really want to get out of bed to
save a few bucks on an airline ticket?
Most of us would rather sleep.
Q: What's the best deal for a trip
to San Diego? Southwest has cheap
flights but why are they cheap? Bad
food? Bad planes? Lose luggage? Also
what website should I use to search
for flight and rental car? I'm traveling
in early June
A: Southwest is a discount carrier,
but its service is no better or worse
than many so-called legacy carriers.
No one serves food any longer unless
you pay for it. Southwest is one of the
few that still hands out free pretzels
and peanuts. And their planes are
fine (mostly 737-700s) and baggage
complaints are right in the middle of
the pack. To book Southwest flights,
you need to go to its website: https://
www.southwest.com/. You can also
book rental cars through Southwest.
To check other airlines, try Kayak,
which also does car rentals.

Q: My wife and I are celebrating
our 20th wedding anniversary this
year, and I need a little inspiration
on where to go. We are already taking a family trip in June (courtesy of
my parents) to Aruba. Another trip to
the tropics is not out of the question,
but I'm looking for something a little
different. We have a week mid-July
where the kids will be in their grandparents' care. Driving or flying is OK,
but minimizing the travel time will
allow us more time at the destination.
Any ideas?
A: Mid-July in the Caribbean is going to be hot. And getting to Europe
will be expensive and long. How
about a trip to Maine? Lots of nice
resort-like inns there, such as Inn by
the Sea near Portland or Nonantum
Resort in Kennebunkport. Or you
could go to San Diego and stay at the
Hotel del Coronado.
— Carol Sottili
Q: What day trips or overnight trips
shall we consider for the only two full
days that we will have while in Anchorage? We will have the afternoons
to do things locally (ferry to see the
glaciers, etc.) and one day we have
to go to Palmer, but besides that, any
out-of-Anchorage "must do" within
a two-day time frame a month from
now?
A: Even though Denali National
Park is about four hours from Anchorage, it's a must-see attraction.
If you can do an overnight there, I
would definitely recommend it. I understand spring is a beautiful time to
visit the park.
Q: We want to go on one of those
river barge trips but don't know
which to choose as the itineraries are
similar. Any difference between Uniworld, Vantage and Viking?

- Prices were verified at press time
last Thursday, but deals sell out and
availability is not guaranteed. Some
restrictions may apply.
A: I've cruised on both Vantage and
Viking and would recommend both
of them. These are nothing like ocean
cruises. The vessels are small, semiprivate, and the emphasis is on shore
excursions. I would select the itinerary you like the best and then pick the
cruise line that fits your desired ports.
The destination really is the destination, as opposed to an ocean vessel,
where the ship is the destination.
Q: We are a family of four (two
adults, two kids — ages 11 and 7) and
are usually obsessive travel planners.
But we've decided not to pre-plan
a summer vacation destination this
year. We have the week set aside in
August as vacation time but no specific location in mind. Our plan is to
look for a destination a week or two
ahead of time, in the hopes of getting
a great deal. What are some good sites
to look for last-minute travel packages — including airfare and hotel? We
are open to beaches, West Coast, even
Europe or Latin America if the price
is right. We're a little nervous about
being spontaneous but willing to give
it a shot! Thanks!
A: I've not found a fantastic site for
last-minute travel. Some purport to
do this, but often the deals are no better than what you'd find on regular
travel booking sites, such as Expedia
and Travelocity. The Caribbean may
be cheaper because August is hurricane season — look via Vacation
Express, CheapCaribbean and Apple
Vacations. For U.S. vacations, I'd
check airfares at Southwest and Kayak and then book hotels via the Hotel
Tonight app.
— Carol Sottili
Q: Austin or San Antonio — which
do you recommend for a long weekend in Texas? Any particular reason
why? Thank you.
A: I would say Austin. It has a bigger "everything" scene: arts, food,
fashion, music, lodging, outdoor activities, weirdness.

Prayerful Thoughts
Etcetera...
By Linda Childs
Exclusive to The New York Eagle News
Dear Father in Heaven,
I have heard people wonder why You never “speak” to them, when others
such as myself claim to hear from You often. In fact, it never ceases to amaze
me the myriad ways which You utilize to communicate with and guide us, if we
are receptive and paying attention.
First, of course, is the Bible, Your primary method of communication with
us, if only we would read it. Like many people, I used to think it was all old
world text with no current relevance, and I had difficulty understanding it. I
have since found that there are many ways in which we can unlock the wonders
of the Bible, such as the Amplified Bible, which makes it much easier to understand in current language and explains and expands the meaning of words
in the text by placing amplification in parentheses and brackets and after key
words or phrases. And of course, Bible study sessions with people more knowledgeable in the subject are most helpful.
But there are many ways in which You communicate with each of us directly,
such as the “still, small voice” inside each of us. We all have that, and I believe it
is the Holy Spirit speaking to or guiding us. This is what many Christians refer
to as “God put it in my heart” to do or say a thing. In other words, we feel that
we have “heard” from You, not with our physical ears but with our spiritual
ears. Indeed, this is the reason I write these columns—You put it on my heart to
do so. Furthermore, I find that the words I write often come to my mind when
I am praying and spending time with You (I have to keep a notebook handy at
all times for this reason, and have a hard time writing fast enough to get it all
down once it starts!). And many times, I don't know what I am going to write
until I sit down to do so, then the words just flow out of me. I know that they are
coming from You, dear Lord, and I am blessed and honored that You chose to
use me in this way. When I search for biblical examples or confirmation of what
I wrote, I always find it, even if I didn't know about it beforehand. Typically
researching in the Bible helps me to flesh out what was written, and I usually
learn something new or to a greater depth as I go through this process. Other
times, the message starts with a Bible verse and deals with how it is applicable
or has been demonstrated in our lives.
Then there is intuition, closely related or perhaps another manifestation of
the “still, small voice”. When we know in our gut that we should or shouldn't do
or say a thing, I believe that is the Holy Spirit guiding us. How awesome is that?!
I learned many years ago that every time my “gut” is telling me something and
I don't listen to it, I will regret it. Life is tricky, and we need all the help we can
get to be the best person we can, treat all those around us in a loving, charitable
way and to never let negative thoughts or impulses prevail in our behavior. The
age-old example of an angel sitting on one of our shoulders and the devil on the
other, both trying to influence our thoughts and actions, is actually spot-on in
my experience. This is part of the free will You gave each of us, Lord, that we
may choose in each instance which way we will proceed, speak, act or react. I
am extremely grateful that You are with me every moment of the day, encouraging me to turn to You for guidance in all things. Unfortunately, sometimes I
get it wrong, sometimes I misunderstand from which side a prompting came,
and yes, sometimes I choose what I want over what I know in my heart, if I am
honest with myself, You want. It’s quite easy to reason away such a choice with
one excuse or another, to allow a choice to be colored too much by our own desires. But we both know, don't we, in the end if not at that moment. Yet thankfully You forgive me and patiently work with me on it again, as many times as
it takes for me to learn and get it right.
Another method in which You guide us is through coincidence and occurrences which seem to be leading or pointing in a certain direction. I believe that
there is no such thing as happenstance or coincidence as most people think of
it; this is simply another way for You to show us Your chosen path for us, otherwise communicate with us or to bless us in some way. You know that we can
be rather thick headed, and require “remedial” guidance, so You get creative,
bless You!
I also believe that luck is just another word for blessing, and fate is what You
have planned for us since before we were born. This doesn’t mean that our actions and thoughts don't play a part in these occurrences and whether or not
they happen—again, free will—but You do bless us frequently, and also reward
us in this earthly life when we live as we ought, like the loving Father that You
are.
The key for us is that we have got to be aware, paying attention, sensitive to
the promptings of the Holy Spirit, lest we miss Your communication with us. I
have found over the years, that every time I follow Your promptings, regardless
of whether it makes any sense to me at the time, things always turn out exceedingly better than anything of which I could have conceived on my own. Thank
You God for being willing to spend so much time, attention, effort and love on
me, and on each of us who is willing to believe in and follow You!
LIGHTHOUSE FROM COVER

the United States, more than a halfmile from the encroaching ocean.
Crowds watching were so big that restaurant and shop owners asked him
to slow down the job so they could
continue to reap the rewards.
The Martha's Vineyard job has been
under way for a couple of months —
massive prep work that must be done
before the structure is moved an
inch. As with any of his jobs, Matyiko
doesn't take apart a structure and he
doesn't lift it off the ground with a
crane. He builds a network of giant
steel beams underneath and sends the
structures down twin rails — traveling on rollers only feet in an hour.
Once the Gay Head lighthouse starts
moving, it will take two or three days
to go 134 feet — a destination determined to safeguard its stability for a
minimum of another 150 years.
The current Gay Head Light replaced the first one built in 1799 and
is the only lighthouse in the United
States with a history of Native American lighthouse keepers. It weighs 460
tons, almost a million pounds. It is
located in the town of Aquinnah on
the island's remote western tip two
miles from Red Gate Farm, once the
summer home of Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis now owned by her daughter Caroline. It was off the waters of
Aquinnah that John Kennedy Jr.'s airplane went down in 1999.
The Wampanoag tribe considers
the entire area sacred ground. The
exposed veins of red, black and ochre
clay in the cliffs are the result of glacial upheaval.
The lighthouse sits 46 feet from the
edge of sharply eroded cliffs. Project
officials say they need at least 36 feet
to make the move, leaving a 10-foot
buffer that could disappear in two
years, three, nobody really knows.
"Who doesn't love a lighthouse?"
says Matyiko, whose beard and salty
language makes it easy to picture him
at the wheel of a ship, looking for help
from this navigational beacon.
Efforts to preserve lighthouses on
both U.S. coasts have never been
stronger, says Tim Harrison, founder
of Lighthouse Digest in East Machias, Maine. Harrison's doomsday list
names 45 in danger of being left to
crumble or taken by the sea, including Gay Head.
A local group called Save the Gay
Head Lighthouse has so far has
raised $3 million and needs another
$400,000 to complete the project. The
group's subcommittee charged with
the move itself is chaired by Len Butler, 66, an Aquinnah builder who coordinates the various teams hired for
the project.
Matyiko's company, Expert House
Movers of Maryland, was hired by
International Chimney Corp. of Williamsville, New York. No other twosome has more experience with lighthouses like Gay Head that are made
entirely of brick. More fragile than
those made of cast iron or granite
blocks, these lighthouses need specialized care, according to Richard
Pomroy, project manager who runs
his own Massachusetts engineering
firm.
One of Matyiko's strengths is the
ability to change his game plan as
conditions change, Pomroy said. "He
has the great ability to go by the seat
of his pants if he has to," he said.
Two weeks ago Matyiko began in-
stalling almost two dozen girders
weighing a total of 64 tons, all of it
hauled by his driver from Maryland
then onto a ferry in Woods Hole,
Massachusetts, and finally to the island.
The next step is what Matyiko describes as the most difficult part of
the job: using all that steel to construct what is known as the moving
frame. The process can take days or
even weeks.
First step at Gay Head: to get under
the lighthouse with a first set of steel
H beams. Matyiko has his crew dig
tunnels under the lighthouse base.
Into each of these tunnels are placed
crossbeams more than 40-feet long.
These beams are all jacked up, pushing the lighthouse two feet or so into
the air. Into the gap between lighthouse and ground goes a railroadtrack system of other beams pointed
toward the final destination. Hydraulic rams are attached to the track system and push the lighthouse on the
tracks to its endpoint.
Finally, a new foundation is built
around the lighthouse. The earth
initially removed from the clifftop is
returned and the area re-landscaped.
Matyiko's experience moving large
objects came early. The youngest of
four brothers, Matyiko was born and
raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Like his siblings, he went to work for

Summer
Fruit,
Vegetable
And Quinoa
Salad
By Angela Shelf Medearis
Summary: Quinoa takes this recipe
from a delicious salad to a complete
meal. The grain has been called a superfood because its protein content is
very high for a cereal/pseudo-cereal.
It's also a rich source of B vitamins,
thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B-6 and
folate, and the dietary minerals iron,
magnesium, phosphorus and zinc. It
is gluten-free and considered easy to
digest.

his father who, in 1955, began moving military housing. All four eventually took over the business.
Matyiko joined the Naval Reserve
at 15, telling recruiters he was 18. A
good defensive football player and
skilled wrestler, he graduated from
high school but never finished college. He eventually served six months
in Vietnam as a Navy Seabee constructing metal buildings and went
on to serve a couple of years in an
elite underwater demolition team today known as the SEALs.
By the early 70s, Matyiko moved
to Sharptown, Maryland, where he
established his own moving company. His skills have taken him to
Newark, New Jersey, where he moved
an old airport terminal for historical preservation. He has done jobs
in Peru, Chile and Malta. Five years
ago, he went to Saudi Arabia to bid
on moving an office building owned
by a brother of Osama bin Laden who
eventually decided not to move the
building, Matyiko said.
He and his wife, Joan, have been
married for 37 years and have three
children. His son, Gabriel, in business
with him, has been moving a fourstory building in Washington while
he's been on Martha's Vineyard.
His first lighthouse move came
in 1993. The Southeast Lighthouse
on tiny Block Island off the coast of
Rhode Island was in danger of tumbling off a cliff. In 1996, he moved
Highland Lighthouse in Truro, Massachusetts, for the same reason followed months later by Nauset Light
in Eastham, also on Cape Cod.
He moved the Cape Hatteras Light
in North Carolina in 1999 and then
Sankaty Head Lighthouse on Nantucket in 2007.
Back on the job site at Gay Head,
Matyiko moved the first giant girder May 15th. He spent most of the
morning measuring then coaxing the
beam into place under the lighthouse.
By noon, Matyiko was in his red
GMC Sierra, gobbling down a sandwich and talking about why the job is
still so much fun.

and I can't get up or when a house
falls on me. I just hope it's a big one."

Oliver has lots of experience in
designing flowers that have to look
their best for hours in
Washington's withering
heat and humidity. Here
are some of her do's and
don'ts for arranging and
displaying blooms outside.
• Choose hardy varieties. As long as you hydrate flowers, most will
do well. Roses, daisies,
Alstroemeria lilies and
carnations are among the
hardiest, Oliver says. A

inch and preferably a few inches off
the stems, and put the flowers in cool
water in a large container until you
are ready to arrange them.
• Test your arrangement for size.
Put it on the table after you set out
your place settings to make sure it
isn't dominating the landscape. Here
is a florist's standard rule for testing
the proper height of a centerpiece to
make sure it doesn't block guests on
the other side of the table: Put your elbow on the table and make a fist. Your
arrangement should not be taller than
the distance from your elbow to your
fist.
• Hold off putting them outdoors.
Keep your arrangement inside until
15 minutes before guests are due, so
the flowers will be at their most fresh.
Store in an out-of-the-way place, such
as a basement if you have one. If you

don't, put in an air-conditioned room,
but not directly in front of the unit or

bottle before placing it outside.
• After your party, don't leave your
flowers out all night. Bugs or other
creatures might nibble on them. Give
them away as gifts as guests depart.
Or bring them inside, where you
should get a few more days of enjoyment out of them if you change the
water daily.
