Burglary solving rate above state average
S U N D AY APRIL 19, 2015 160th yEAR • No. 300 Inside Today cLEVELAND, tN 60 PAGES • $1.00 Burglary solving rate above state average Watson credits more officers, community supplying information By BRIAN GRAVES Banner Staff Writer The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will release a report today showing the Bradley County Sheriff’s office above the state and regional averages in solving burglary cases. According to the report, the BCSO has solved 26 percent of its cases — almost double the state rate of 12 percent and the East Tennessee regional rate of 14 percent. “I can account for that rate of crimes solved because five of the 18 new employees we recently hired are assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division,” said Sheriff Eric Watson. “There were only 18 CID officers and now there are 23.” He said those officers now work around the clock. “There are detectives available at night now and working on the street,” he said. “If there is a burglary that happens or theft that occurs, they can respond from their car or the office instead of from their house — meaning response times are much faster.” Watson said he also gives much credit to the community for helping solve those crimes. “I think through social media and the newspaper, the ‘Top 10 Most Wanted,’ and community relations we have increased our ability to communicate with the public much better,” the sheriff said. “We’ve worked to build that trust factor up.” He said the bridge to success is The first-ever True Grit Strongman Challenge took place Saturday with 28 competitors from across the country gathering in Cleveland for the competition.

It is a subject close to the Henrys’ hearts. Their late son, John, suffered from the same malady as those who are helped by organizations such as Life Bridges. “We’re coming up on the three year anniversary of our son’s passing,” Henry said. “I just want you to know how very special we think this place is. I’ve known all the directors and have been here many times,” he said. Henry also noted Life Bridges has “members that really care” in the state legislature noting the presence of state Reps. Kevin Brooks and Dan Howell. “They are out front and not many people become champions for people with disabilities and kids with difficulties unless they have some experience with it or they’ve got some special connection to it,” Henry said. “You couldn’t have a better See HENRY, Page 9 Both the public and those associated with the Bradley County School System appear to be in agreement the next director of schools should be a “proven leader.” That bottom line comes from surveys conducted by the Bradley County Board of Education. The two surveys were conducted simultaneously and concluded Thursday at 5 p.m. An “internal” survey went out via a broadcast email to all Bradley county school emails and allowed unlimited responses from any device. A “public” survey was released to the media and only allowed single responses from a device. Board Chairman Nicholas Lillios released the final tallies along with comments added to the survey forms Friday afternoon. According to the figures, 29 participated in the public survey while 580 cast their opinions on the internal questionnaire. On the question of what attribute is most important in the next director of schools, both groups See LEADER, Page 8 State funding concerns voiced by Airport Authority By JOYANNA LOVE Banner Senior Staff Writer Funding was the focus for the Cleveland Municipal Airport Authority Friday. Changes in funding at the state level have the board concerned that projects may be delayed. The need for more T-hangars at the airport led the Cleveland City Council to approve funding assuming the state portion would be approved. Timing on the issue is what Ron Fitzgerald of PDC Consultants described as “the perfect storm.” The T-hangar bids have come in higher than initial estimates at the same time revenues at the state level are not coming in as projected. Reducing the space between the hangars has been mentioned as a way to reduce the cost of fire barri- ers, but Fitzgerald said this would not change the price much. In addition to these challenges, specifications for the T-hangars have changed since the last ones were constructed on the site. Fitzgerald said fire barrier and asphalt standard requirements have been amended. Jetport director of operations Mark Fidler said he has talked with the state aeronautics director and discussed options. Fidler said he hopedstate funds would be able to make up the difference between the funds available for the project and the projected costs. However, the state aeronautics director was not able to say anything definite. Board chairman Lou Patten said there were elements of the project See AIRPORT, Page 8 Around Town Nola Beth Greene painting rocks ... Bob Evans looking forward to a veterans get togethers ...

After nearly three years of discussions, the County Commission approved a resolution in March authorizing County Mayor D. Gary Davis to negotiate and execute an agreement with an architect for a workhouse which can house 128 minimum security inmates.

Local emergency workers launch ‘intensive search’ for missing man By BRIAN GRAVES Banner Staff Writer A combined team of more than 40 local emergency officers conducted what was described as “an intensive search” Saturday for a Cleveland man who has been missing for almost two weeks. However, the efforts did not provide an answer to the mystery. Brian Keith Smith was reported missing by his family from the White Oak Valley Road area more than 10 days ago. BCSO Detective Brandon Edwards, lead detective in the case, said Smith had recently been released from Mocassin Bend and had shown signs of paranoia. He also said Smith’s last statements suggested suicidal tendencies. Officers separated into several teams to cover one approximately one square mile of wooded area. A preliminary search was conducted April 7, when Smith was reported missing, using K-9s and nine squad officers. Sheriff Eric Watson said a trigger to increase the volume of the search came from a lack of evidence Smith had used any available avenue to access items he would need to survive Smith combined with the statements from the family as to Smith’s frame of mind. “Although there are no signs of a homicide, this is the way we have to treat a situation like this because we just don’t know what has happened to him,” Watson said.

Heavily populated areas with the highest risk of storms are San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Norman, Oklahoma, according to the National Weather Service. Reports of hail, some of up to quarter-size, were widespread Saturday afternoon along a line from central Nebraska through the plains of western Oklahoma and to the rolling plains of North Texas and Central Texas plateaus. One unconfirmed report of a tornado was received from the public in an unpopulated area of remote Edwards Plateau country, about 110 miles northwest of San Antonio. No damage or injuries were reported. The storms developed a day after at least five firefighters were hurt on Friday when their truck overturned on a rain-slick rural road in Central Texas and hit a tree. They were taken to a hospital. Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Harpin Myers said an ambulance crew responding to the wreck also was involved in a crash. The crews were responding to an initial accident after a vehicle hydroplaned on the wet road and collided with another. In Houston, some creeks and bayous filled to their banks and drivers in found water reaching nearly to car bumpers. The weather service reported Saturday that rain gauges at Reliant Park, the complex that includes the NFL Houston Texans football stadium, registered 5.32 inches over the previous 24 hours. Other readings topping 4 inches were common in parts of Houston. The Harris County Flood Control District recorded 3.6 inches of rain during a 30-minute period in Pasadena, southeast of Houston, and Center Point Energy said as many as 35,000 of its electric customers had been without power. South of Houston in Brazoria County, police reported hail the size of tennis balls in Angleton, and Needville received 4 inches of rain. The roof was torn from a home on Jamaica Beach in Galveston County. In La Porte, as many as 40 homes took in water. In South Texas, funnel clouds were reported near Victoria and Beeville and authorities said a tornado briefly touched down in a rural area of Matagorda County about 100 miles southwest of Houston.

THE COnfEDErATE Soldiers and Sailors Monument was dedicated May 30, 1894 on Libbie Hill terrace in Richmond, Va. Known as the “Single Soldier — Silent Sentinel” or similar names depending on the locale, he tops many of the thousands of Civil War monuments to be found in more than 30 states. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) — After the Civil War ended in April 1865, statues depicting Union and Confederate soldiers went up across the country, from New England squares to Southern courthouses. A century and a half later, these weathered “Silent Sentinels” still stand guard, rifles at the ready, gazing off in the distance. For a war that pitted brother against brother, many of them bear a strong family resemblance. Most of the statues were mass-produced by a handful of Northern companies that found a steady market selling to communities — North and South — eager to honor their fallen soldiers and surviving veterans. “They’re not meant to represent one person or another,” said Sarah Beetham, an art historian who teaches at the University of Delaware and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. “This way, people could go and see in them their sons or fathers who had fought in the war.” Known as the “Silent Sentinel,” ‘’Single Soldier” or similar names, he tops many of the thousands of Civil War monuments to be found in more than 30 states. Today, 150 years after the guns fell silent to end the nation’s bloodiest conflict, the ranks of the more than 3 million citizen soldiers who fought on both sides are represented by some of our most ubiquitous yet often overlooked public symbols. “Before the Civil War, you would never have had an image of the common soldier to memorialize. You would have a general or a biblical figure,” said Earle Shettleworth, head historian for the state of Maine. “After the war, there was more of a democratic way of memorializing those who had participated.” With untold thousands of war dead buried in graves on or near battlefields and encampments far from their homes, some communities in the North and South erected hometown monuments to the fallen even as the fighting raged. Most were stone obelisks placed in local cemeteries. Within a couple of years after Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Virginia, more elaborate monuments were being commissioned from sculptors. By 1867, monuments featuring sculpted or cast metal soldier statues were dedicated in cemeteries in Cincinnati and Boston. The version depicting a single soldier at “parade rest” — hands gripping a musket at the end of the barrel, the stock resting on the ground — became the most popular way to honor the more than 2 million men who fought for the Union. But commissioning a monument made of Italian marble or northern New England granite could cost tens of thousands of dollars, much too expensive for most small towns. Many turned to the northern foundries specializing in cast bronze or zinc statuary used to decorate cemetery markers. Firms such as the Monumental Bronze Co. of Bridgeport, Connecticut, did a brisk business selling soldier statues. A life-size parade rest model was listed in its sales catalog for $450, while the 8-foot-6inch version sold for $750. “It’s like going to Wal-Mart. It’s less expensive,” said Timothy S. Sedore, author of “An Illustrated Guide to Virginia’s Confederate Monuments.” Because they had lost the war and were economically shattered, Southerners got a later start erecting monuments. By the time the 20th century arrived, they were making up for lost time, with hundreds of soldier statues installed across the South, typically outside county courthouses. But old animosities died hard, and folks in the South didn’t usually publicize who was supplying the statues: mostly companies in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Ohio. “The Southerners didn’t talk about that, buying from Yankees,” Beetham said. Versions of the Silent Sentinel statue can be found from Amarillo, Texas, to Kennebunk, Maine. The Northern version features a Union soldier wearing a kepi and caped greatcoat, while his Southern counterpart typically wears the iconic slouch hat and bedroll strapped diagonally across his chest. An accurate number of Civil War monuments is difficult to pin down. Beetham, who wrote her dissertation on post-Civil War citizen soldier monuments, estimates there are some 2,500 across the Northern states, with the Silent Sentinel version believed to account for as many as half of them. Estimates of Confederate monuments range between 500 and 1,000, including hundreds of the rebel version of the solitary soldier.

Edward Robinson Sr. of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church for sharing wonderful memories of our loved one. Your kindness was much appreciated. Craigmiles/Whaley Families Sibyl Flannery Sibyl Whitehead Flannery, 76, of Colorado Springs, Colo., went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, April 8, 2015, after a courageous year-long battle with cancer. She died peacefully at her home embraced in the love and warmth of her family. Sibyl was born on Sept. 29, 1938, in Asheboro, N.C., and grew up in Ramseur, N.C. She received her bachelor of science degree from Lee University in Cleveland in 1972 and her master’s degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1975. She taught in the Bradley County school system for 35 years. Although she never fulfilled her personal dream of becoming a physician, as a biology teacher she influenced thousands of students over the years, many of whom went on to become successful doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. In 1972 and 1973 she received the Outstanding Elementary Teachers of the America Award and the Bradley County Teacher of the Year Award. Her love of helping others led her to become a CPR instructor in Cleveland, where she lived for 35 years. The American Heart Association recognized her dedication and named her Tennessee Volunteer of the Year in 1979. She worked in the emergency room of two local hospitals in Cleveland and volunteered in local nursing homes. She received training as an EMT and became one of the first female EMTs in the Cleveland-Bradley County area. She also worked for eight years as a deputy sheriff for the Bradley County Sheriff’s Department. Throughout her life she belonged to multiple organizations and received many awards for her various occupations and activities. Remarkably, she accomplished all of this while teaching full-time. In 2006, she moved from North Carolina to Colorado Springs, where she lived the remainder of her productive life. In that year, she married Darrell L Flannery. Sibyl and Darrell were happily married nine years. They were totally devoted to one another and were completely inseparable. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, wife and friend. An exceptionally kind and thoughtful person, she genuinely cared for and loved all her family and friends and was loved by everyone who knew her. She was preceded in death by her son, James “Jimi” R. Flowers of Colorado Springs; and by her parents: Charles Raymond Whitehead and Dorothy Allen Whitehead of Ramseur, N.C. She leaves behind her loving husband, Darrell L. Flannery of Colorado Springs; her son, Charles E. Flowers III of Asheville, N.C.; her granddaughters: Katherine A. Flowers and Sarah D. Flowers of Chapel Hill, N.C.; her daughter-inlaw, Melanie “Sue” Flowers, and grandchildren: Samuel J. Flowers and Lauren A. Flowers of Colorado Springs; her brother, Charles “Mickey” Whitehead of Asheboro, N.C.; her niece, Cheryl Hollady of Lusby, Md.; and nephew, Michael Whitehead of Asheboro, N.C. A memorial service was held at the Swan Law Funeral Home in Colorado Springs on Tuesday, April 14, 2015. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations may be made to Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care. Banner photo, LARRY C. BOWERS IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!

Banner photo, HOWARD PIERCE BILL NORWOOD, Korean War veteran and former POW, threw out one of the first pitches of the game for Military Appreciation Day at Lee University’s Olympic Field Saturday Cleveland Director of Schools Dr. Martin Ringstaff has announced a number of changes in leadership and plans for additional changes and/or new hires. “Walt Disney once said ‘Around here, we don’t look backward very long. We move forward, opening new doors and doing new things because we’re curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths,’” Ringstaff said. This past week, Cleveland Schools announced a few new paths for leadership within its school system. “We have a very good school system,” said the director of schools. “We set high standards for ourselves. We believe we can always get better. We target the right areas, and focus on the right things.” “For us to get from ‘very good’ to ‘great’ takes everyone realizing that new paths must be forged,” he added. “We must remain curious, and we must beat down that easy feeling of settling for good. “As we continue to angle our school system for the future and tackle major issue such as serving a rapidly increasing ESL population and creating success for our at-risk population, we seek the strengths of individuals to make this happen,” Ringstaff continued. “I am proud to announce that in 2015/2016 we have great individuals leading these charges.” They include: — Debby Torres will be the supervisor of Alternative Programs and Education, and will focus on at-risk programs and students. — Christy Duncan will be coordinator of English as a Second Language (ESL). “As those two main dominoes fell, other leadership opportunities arose and we tapped into the strengths of others,” Dr. Ringstaff added. — Kelly Kiser leaves Mayfield Elementary School to take over as supervisor of Federal Programs/Professional Development. This is the position that Torres is vacating. — Randall Stephens leaves Stuart Elementary School to take over the Mayfield Elementary School principal position that Kelly Kiser is vacating. From interviews this past week, Dr. Ringstaff said the assistant principal at Mayfield Elementary School will be Bob Pritchard, currently instructional facilitator at Cleveland High School. — Karen Hall will take over as instructional facilitator at Cleveland High School, vacating the instructional facilitator position at Stuart Elementary School. — Alicia Kahrs will be the instructional facilitator at Stuart Elementary School during the next school year. The director of schools said he is impressed by this list of leaders, and believes the system is setting up for its best year ever. He added tthe Stuart Elementary principal position will be posted soon. “We will meet with the faculty and staff at Stuart to discuss the process and procedures for hiring a new principal. We will also seek their advice on their beliefs and culture,” he said. Dr. Ringstaff said change can be challenging, but exhilarating. “When new people arrive in buildings or positions, new and greater expectations also enter with them,” he said. “I have the utmost respect for our leadership team. We have vetted these moves extensively. “We have looked at timing and making sure leadership styles fit into current cultures guide decisions,” he added. “We had 12 interviews for the Mayfield Elementary assistant principal position.” Dr. Ringstaff said outgoing principal Kelly Kiser shared with him that it was the most impressive group (all 12) that he has had the privilege to interview as principal. “We have an impressive group of aspiring administrators ready to take the helm of whatever is asked of them,” Ringstaff said. “We strive for ‘Every Child, Every Day,’ and I am very excited about where we are going.” Clean and Healthy Pools All Summer • SALES • SERVICE • SUPPLIES THERASAUNA FAR INFRARED HEALTH SAUNA TOTALLY AUTHORIZED SELECT DEALER • DEMONSTRATIONS IN STORE CALL US FOR YOUR POOL OPENING When We Say “Complete” – We Mean “Complete Pool Store” Owned & Operated By James & Linda Jones 5004 GEORGETOWN EORGETOWN RD D. 423-458-1557 FISH DAY!

BOWERS Banner Staff Writer Cleveland’s Bobby Greene was recently selected as the “Southeast Region Board Member of the Year” at the Boys & Girls Clubs’ Leadership Conference in Atlanta. Greene, a 35-year member of the Cleveland organization, received the award in the presence of his family, other Cleveland officials and officers from other Boys & Girls Clubs affiliates from across the nation. A number of Cleveland Chapter alumni were in attendance. “Bobby Greene is a past president and has truly been a friend and a comrade,” said Charlie Sutton, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland. “He loves all the youth of the club,” Sutton continued. Greene served the local Boys & Girls Clubs as the Board’s development chair from 2012 until 2014. He served on the “What do you mean I’m 40!!” Tennessee Alliance Board from 2009 to 2014, and was the organization’s secretary from 1998 to 2006. He served as president in 2007-08.

Greene has been a liaison to the Area Council, and served on the executive committee, Board Development Committee, Resource Development/Finance Committee and Program Committee. He has been instrumental on the board, attending 90 percent of its meetings. Attending the conference with the award recipient was his wife, Pam, sons Kyle and Brad, and daughter-in-law Amber.

Each year, the National Main Street Center and its partners announce the list of accredited Main Street programs, in recognition of their exemplary commitment to historic preservation and community revitalization through the Main Street Four Point Approach. “We congratulate this year’s nationally accredited Main Street programs for their outstanding accomplishment in meeting the National Main Street Center’s 10 Standards of Performance,” said Patrice Frey, president and chief executive officer of the National Main Street Center. “As the National Main Street Center celebrates its 35th anniversary, it is also important to celebrate the achievements of the local Main Street programs across the country, some of whom have been around since the beginning. “These local programs work hard every day to make their communities great places to work, live, play and visit while still preserving their historic character,” she said. The organization’s performance is annually evaluated by the Tennessee State Main Street Program, a division of the Department of Economic and Community Development, which works in partnership with the National Main Street Center to identify the local programs that meet ten performance standards.

HOPE Center to hold candlelight vigil Monday at the Courthouse By LARRY C. BOWERS Banner Staff Writer The 10th Judicial District’s Children’s Advocacy Center (or HOPE Center) will be involved in a number of activities during the final half of the April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The four staff members of the HOPE Center (Health, Opportunity, Protection and Encouragement), work with children who have been sexually and/or severely physically abused, or who are witnesses to a violent crime. One of the staff’s projects again this year is the establishment of a pinwheel garden outside the center’s offices in Executive Park, above the Mountain View Inn. There are 253 pinwheels in the garden, one for each of the children the agency worked with in 2014. The Children’s Advocacy Center works with local law enforcement agencies, the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services and the District Attorney’s Office in the 10th Judicial District. “We’re a multidevelopmental team,” said Kristen Bowers, the family advocate at the Children’s Advocacy Center. The center has four staff members in Cleveland and Athens, with its cases referred by area law enforcement agencies and/or the Tennessee Children’s Services staff. The week of April 20 is National Crime Victims Rights Week, and the Advocacy Center is having a candlelight vigil at the Bradley County Courthouse. The event will begin at 6 p.m. on April 20 in partnership with the Family Violence Program and the District Attorney’s office. Tenth District DA Stephen Crump will be the speaker, and T-shirts will be provided by the Victims of Family Violence’s Clothesline Project. On Saturday, April 25, the Advocacy Center will join in the “Healthy Kids Day” program at the Cleveland Family YMCA. 17 prosecutors say law helping deter drug-dependent births NASHVILLE (AP) — A majority of Tennessee prosecutors asked about a new law that has drawn criticism for allowing assault charges against mothers of drug-addicted newborns say it is having a positive effect. According to a statewide survey done by the Tennessee Department of Safety, more than half of state prosecutors said they were seeing positive results. The agency released results last week showing that 17 prosecutors thought the threat of jail was deterring more drug-dependent births, while seven thought it wasn’t helping and six didn’t respond, The Tennessean reported. Meanwhile, data shows the number of drug-addicted babies born in Tennessee is still on the increase. In a letter that accompanied the survey, Department of Safety Commissioner Bill Gibbons said criminal charges were “used sparingly and selectively” in the six months the law was in effect last year. Monroe County District Attorney Steven Crump says he thinks the law is necessary, but he doesn’t use it often. “We’ve tried to be very sparing in the use of the statute,” he said. “We’ve tried to stay away from cases where there was a significant question in our minds as to whether or not there was the (drug dependence), or where we didn’t feel like we were going to accomplish anything by charging the mother in that set of circumstances.” Since the law went into effect, Crump’s office has charged three women, who were all given diversion instead of jail time. American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee Executive Director Hedy Weinberg opposes the law. She says it doesn’t entice women to get treatment; it drives them underground. SKIN CANCER John Chung MD, FAAD & COSMETIC Victor Czerkasij, APRN, BC, FNP Board Certified Dermatologist Fellowship Trained Mohs Surgeon Dermatology Center ADULT & PEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGY “Your Total Skin Care Team” 2253 Chambliss Ave. NW - Suite 300 423-472-3332 Bradley Professional Building • Cleveland, TN • Accepting New Patients and Most Insurances Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner Amanda Thompson, FNP-C Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner Ashley Thurman, FNP-C Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner Catherine Ramsey Licensed Medical Aesthetician JACKSON (AP) — Josh and Janna Ferrell said they could not imagine what raising a child with health problems would be like. They watched “Teen Mom” together at their home in Milan and wondered how difficult it must be. In May 2012, they got firsthand experience when their second daughter, Aubrey, was born with a kidney disease. Janna said the first signs there might be an issue with Aubrey’s kidneys came before she was even born. She said the doctors did tests and found potential problems. “They told us that it was possible that she may have something wrong with her kidneys, that she might have a kidney disease, and we’d have to wait until she was born and do an ultrasound,” Janna said. She said Aubrey was born early at 34 weeks and weighed three pounds, 11 ounces. She was kept in the hospital for a few weeks, and the ultrasound was done. “They told us everything was normal,” Janna said. “We went on with our lives thinking, we made it through without any trouble.” Janna said over the next few weeks, Aubrey stopped growing and gaining weight. Josh said he could tell something was off with her development. “It’s hard to explain; it just wasn’t quite right,” he said. When Aubrey was three months old, the Ferrells decided to take her to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis. Janna said after a week at the hospital, Aubrey was diagnosed with congenital nephrotic syndrome, a rare kidney disease. “Le Bonheur had not seen her disease in twenty-something years,” Josh said. “That’s scary when the best children’s hospital around doesn’t know what to do.” Janna said Aubrey had begun to swell and have difficulty breathing from fluid buildup in her body. Because of her disease, she was losing protein, and it was affecting her thyroid, immune system and growth. “Her kidney was filtering all of the good stuff as well,” Josh said. The doctors determined that Aubrey needed to have a kidney removed. They did the surgery and put in a feeding tube and a central line for IV access. Six weeks later, the Ferrells went home. Josh said his insurance would not pay for transplants outside seven specific hospitals in the country. After some research, they decided to take Aubrey to Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts. “If we’re going to have to go somewhere, we decided to go to the best place in the United States,” Josh said. The family moves back and forth from Boston whenever Aubrey needs specific care. Josh said caring for Aubrey takes up almost all of Janna’s time. She had to quit her job as a nurse to care for her. He said because of all the things that have to be done for Aubrey, they cannot hire a babysitter or send her to daycare. Janna said Aubrey’s immune system is compromised because of her disease, and she has been hospitalized for pneumonia, dehydration and other sicknesses. “You get normal stomach bug, and you have it for 24 hours,” she said. “Aubrey will get it, and she’ll be sick for three weeks.” In January, Aubrey had to have her second kidney removed. She now has a dialysis catheter in her abdomen and has to go through dialysis every night. Aubrey needs a kidney transplant for her body to work normally. “I was going to give her my kidney,” Janna said. She said she went through the tests, but both of her kidneys have two arteries, which would create a clotting risk in a baby. “It would be fine for an adult, but not for her,” she said. Janna said Aubrey is too small to go through regular hemodialysis like an adult kidney patient would. Instead, for 12 hours each night, a solution flows into her abdomen and soaks up tox- ins typically removed by kidneys. Janna said the dialysis makes Aubrey very tired. “Aubrey doesn’t know how to walk,” Janna said. “She’ll be two in May, and she can’t walk. She can’t crawl. She doesn’t eat ... She’s just not able to do the typical things that she should do.” Janna said it is sad to see other kids do things that Aubrey cannot do. She said Aubrey goes to physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy every week. “She’s getting there,” Janna said. Aubrey has another kidney donor lined up who is going through testing now. Josh and Janna said they are hopeful that the donor will be cleared, and Aubrey can get a transplant in the next few weeks.

Miles Finley was friends with Brandon Vandenburg, who was convicted in January of multiple counts of aggravated rape. Finley testified at trial that Vandenburg sent him text messages and videos of the assault as it was happening. The 21year-old said Vandenburg later came to California and confiscated his cell phone. Finley originally was changed with evidence tampering. Defense attorney Bernie McEvoy said Finley pleaded guilty on Friday to attempted accessory after the fact. Appearing via Internet video from Palm Desert, Finley was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days unsupervised probation. The charge can be expunged if he stays out of trouble during that time. Man who went on 9-day killing spree in 1977 denied parole SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A convicted California serial killer who went on a nine-day rampage that claimed the lives of four people has been denied parole and cannot reapply for seven years. Brett Matthew Paul Thomas, now 56, and his friend, Mark Titch, were convicted in 1977 after committing the murders during robbery or burglary attempts in Orange County. Thomas, who was 18 at the time, and Titch, who was 17, were both sentenced to life with the possibility of parole. Titch died behind bars last year. The two were neighbors at a Stanton apartment complex that the police had dubbed “The Zoo” because of the criminal activity there, City News Service reported. Their first victim was Laura Stoughton, 20, who interrupted the pair on Jan. 21, 1977, as they were breaking into her home. They abducted her and drove to an abandoned field, where Titch shot her at close range with a stolen .22-caliber rifle. Three days later, the two killed Ephraim Jacob Christian, 35, during a botched robbery at Rockview Dairy. Five days after that, Thomas and Titch followed the owner of a billiards hall to his home with a plan to rob him. They gunned down Aubrey Duncan at his home, and then shot his 18-year-old daughter, Denise, in the heart after her mother opened the door to find out what was going on.

Panama City Police say officers responded early Saturday to a report of a man carrying “a long gun.” Police tell The News Herald that after the officers repeatedly ordered the man to put down his gun, “the suspect engaged officers and they returned fire.” Police say the man was shot and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The suspect’s name has not been released. A message left by The Associated Press for a police spokesman was not immediately returned. The News Herald reports that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating. Charges dismissed against Missouri officer in shooting KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Prosecutors have dismissed charges against a Missouri police officer who was indicted in the nonfatal shooting of a man during an arrest last summer, saying they wouldn’t have been able to get a conviction. The Jackson County prosecutor’s office said late Friday that it dropped the case against 31year-old Jacob Ramsey, who was indicted in February on charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the June 24 shooting of 37-year-old Anthony Contreras. “Like all prosecutors, we have a duty to be convinced that evidence supports a defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in the news release. “Our subsequent investigation con- vinced us that burden could not be met.” Prosecutors say Contreras was suspected in a string of 31 thefts from tractor-trailers when an officer saw him on the porch of a home. The officer yelled at him “Anthony Stop!” but Contreras went inside. Contreras then emerged from the back door, where Ramsey and another officer were stationed. Ramsey said he ordered Contreras to show his hands. According to a summary of Baker’s findings, Ramsey said he fired on Contreras because Contreras’ right arm dipped and he thought he was reaching for a gun. Ramsey’s shot struck the left side of Contreras’ face, seriously injuring his jaw, teeth and tongue. Teen girl to stay in adult jail until trial in mom’s murder ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A judge has ruled that an eighthgrade girl accused of conspiring with her soldier boyfriend by text message to have her mother killed will remain in adult jail while awaiting trial. Lehigh County Judge Maria Dantos on Friday denied a defense petition to return 14year-old Jamie Silvonek to the juvenile facility where she was initially sent after the body of 54year-old Cheryl Silvonek was discovered last month, according to both the prosecutor and defense attorney. District Attorney Jim Martin had opposed the petition on behalf of the teenager, who is charged as an adult with homicide and criminal conspiracy. Her boyfriend, Caleb Barnes, 20, who is from El Paso, Texas, but was stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland, is charged with homicide. Cheryl Silvonek’s body was found with stab wounds in a shallow grave about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, and her vehicle partially submerged in a pond a few miles from the family home. Authorities said Barnes and the teenager met in October, when she was 13, but she told him she was 17. The teen’s mother found out about their relationship in early March and ordered them to end it. A day later, the teen told Barnes in a text, “I want her gone,” police said. Defense attorney John Waldron, however, maintains that the teenager must have been under “some type of duress or coercion,” citing the age difference. He also said she wept and told him how much she missed her mother and that she feared for her life and that of her father. County officials say Jamie Silvonek in the women’s housing unit, away from older inmates. Florida gyrocopter pilot driving home to await next hearing RUSKIN, Fla. (AP) — A mail carrier is driving back to Florida to await his next hearing for flying his gyrocopter onto the U.S. Capitol lawn. Doug Hughes was charged with operating an unregistered aircraft and violating national airspace after landing his gyrocopter near Congress on Wednesday. The 61-year-old told the Tampa Bay Times on Friday that he was driving back to his Tampa Bay-area home. Hughes said he needs to arrive in Ruskin before Monday, when his house arrest begins. He will wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet until a May 8 court hearing in Washington, D.C. Hughes flew his gyrocopter onto the Capitol lawn to call attention to his belief that campaign finance laws are too week. His wife told The Associated Press on Friday that Hughes was a patriot. Travelers diverted from Denver get stuck on plane for hours COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — At least eight planes were diverted from Denver to Colorado Springs on Friday because of weather, and some passengers were left sitting on the tarmac for hours. One of those flights, from Kansas City, Missouri, kept passengers on the plane for more than six hours. Passengers on Flight 4934, operated by Republic Airlines, asked to be let off the plane, but were kept on the tarmac. They were later taken by bus to Denver International Airport. According to KOAA-TV, officials at the Colorado Springs Airport say they aren’t sure why the airline didn’t dock the planes at the gate to let the passengers off. It would have cost the airline $73. Republic Airlines says the plane had to stay on the ground because of lightning and weather disruptions at DIA. BMW recalling 91,800 Mini Coopers to fix air bag problem (AP) — BMW is recalling 91,800 Mini Coopers to fix a defect that may prevent the air bag on the front passenger side of the cars from deploying in a crash. The problem affects the 2005 to 2008 models of the Mini Cooper and Cooper S. BMW says the air bag may not work properly because of a flam that might prevent the vehicles’ mat detection system from sensing a passenger sitting in the front seat. BMW told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it has been notified of one minor injury linked to the defect. To repair the problem, BMW will replace the detection mat in the affected models for free. The recall will begin May 1.

Caged puppies on car roof trigger dozens of 911 calls AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Police finally caught up with a minivan carrying four caged puppies on its roof after dozens of calls poured in to 911 centers in northeast Ohio. Akron police say the driver didn’t realize he did anything wrong by leaving the mixedbreed puppies on the roof. He said Friday he was transporting them for his father, who couldn’t keep them. He was taking the 3month-old puppies to his wife’s family in Pennsylvania, some 300 miles away. He, his wife and their four children were inside the minivan. The Mennonite family from Nova, Ohio, turned over the dogs to police, who said they would be given to the Humane Society of Greater Akron. The Akron Beacon Journal reports police didn’t charge the man, but educated him on proper transportation of animals. The puppies appeared shaken, but fine otherwise. Police: Man shot, killed by Chicago officer CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police have shot and killed a man in the city’s South Shore neighborhood after officers said he pointed a gun at them. The Chicago Police Department Office of News Affairs said in a statement early Saturday that officers heard shots fired at about 10:10 p.m. Friday and saw a van driving away. A male passenger jumped out of the van and began running. Deputy Chief Dana Alexander told WLS-TV the man, whose identity and age were not released, pointed a gun at the officers and was told to drop it. She said one officer fired two shots. The news release said a weapon was recovered at the scene and no officers were injured. The shooting is under investigation. The Independent Police Review Authority could not be reached Saturday morning. Cleveland’s lifestyle neighborhood is a great place to Live. Work. Shop. Dine.

Attorneys seek dismissal of charges in Islamic State case CHICAGO (AP) — Attorneys for a Chicago-area man charged with trying to join the Islamic State group in Syria are seeking the dismissal of the charges. Lawyers for 19-year-old Mohammed Hamzah Khan also filed a motion Friday in U.S. District Court in Chicago seeking to suppress statements he made to law enforcement. In seeking to dismiss the charges, Khan’s attorneys contend the desire he expressed to “emigrate” to an “Islamic state” was just an expression of his religious freedom. They say a letter to his parents is evidence of his intent to emigrate, not to supply material support to the group. Khan’s lawyers also say his statements to investigators were made prior to his receiving a Miranda warning. They say his post-Miranda statements should be suppressed because they resulted from the previous statements.

(423) 476-2140 Www.springcreekinfo.com 8—Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015 www.clevelandbanner.com Downtown business opportunities explored by Council By JOYANNA LOVE Banner Senior Staff Writer Exploring options for new business in the downtown area is getting discussion by the Cleveland City Council. During a recent budget planning work session, the Cleveland City Council discussed having a downtown hotel/convention center market feasibility study conducted. “This essentially would be a third-party review to tell us if there is a market for this type of facility,” Doug Berry, Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce vice president for economic development, said. City staff included $20,000 from the sales tax budget to fund the study in the 2015-2016 budget proposal. A proposal by Hotel & Leisure Advisors outlines their research plan. This would include traveling to downtown, developing objectives of the facility, speaking with community shareholders, local hotel owners and potential customers. This company, based in Cleveland, Ohio, is one that has worked with Whirlpool on projects in the past. A downtown hotel had been mentioned in previous meetings as the CityCouncil discussed the possibility of converting The Summit into a hotel. The building, which was once the Cherokee Hotel, is one of several historic downtown buildings. The company could also conduct an economic impact study to outline how such a facility would impact the downtown area, if the second phase of the study was approved. Berry said there are options the City Council can consider when deciding how to move forward. He emphasized the importance of keeping the downtown area successful. “We are not achieveing full revenue earnings potential that we could on some of our existing assets that are already in the city. I think that is the statement we need about redevelopment,” Berry said. This can be accomplished by working with property owners of currently empty buildings, he said. Recently, some of these empty spaces have been turned into apartments. Berry said incentives for redevelopment in the downtown area should also be considered. “Incentivize the residential, which ... encourages the restaurants to stay open in the evenings,” Berry said. The Old Woolen Mill was cited as a local example of a building owner driving redevelopment of an abandoned site. Berry said effective partnerships are key to success of redevelopment in downtown and surrounding areas. Councilman Bill Estes said redevelopment of the downtown area had the potential to give the city a “better return on investment” than even the Spring Branch Industrial park. “As we finish off this project (Spring Branch Industrial Park) and we need to finish this project off, we need to turn our attention and efforts to the redevelopment,” Estes said. Berry said Whirlpool is willing to partner in the future of the site. “I am happy to say that Whirlpool has jumped in now. Since they have vacated the site, they have initiated their own review from the developer, landscape, architecture standpoint to look at what they think they can accomplish on behalf of their partnership with the community in redevelopment of those sites,” Berry said. He pointed to Benton Harbor, Mich., as a successful redevelopment of a former Whirlpool site. Mixed use, not large manufacturing, is most likely what will be coming to the site. Berry said the site does have some potential for smaller “local, entrepreneurial” industries. Estes commented this kind of industry was a good fit with the location’s proximity to downtown. “The reality is we have 850 acres of potential impact area when you look at the adjoining neighborhoods,” Berry said. “We have a lot of environmental assesments that have to occur in non-Whirlpool areas.” A 10- to 20-year plan would need to be drafted to fully make use of the Whirlpool site and surrounding areas, Berry said. Preliminary discussions have begun. “Every city I have been in all through this past month it is all about this kind redevelopment,” Estes said. “It’s not just the right thing to do, but I think the return, the economic impact will be so much greater than just new construction out on the interstate.” He said these efforts in other areas have been driven by private investment, not government funding. With recent state laws restricting how cities can annex additional land to grow their boundaries, Berry said redevelopment will be crucial to future growth. Airport Search From Page 1 From Page 1 that were not crucial to the completion that could be eliminated to cut costs. “As of today they are still working on the final figures, so we are not going to be able to make a recommendation,” Patten said. “What we hope to do is have that worked out in the next week or two.” State funding has been approved for the engineering portion of the runway extension project. The Cleveland Regional Jetport is requesting $2 million for completion of the project. Fidler said the state portion of this project likely would not be funded until the 2016 -2017 fiscal year. “Their (Tennessee department of Transportation Aeronautics division) funds for the current fiscal year are not coming in as they had projected,” Patten said The airport also has concerns about how pending legislation at the state level could impact future funding. House Bill1147 and Senate Bill 0982 would set a maximum on how much tax one business would pay on aviation fuel. FedEx currently pays more than 50 percent of the aviation fuel taxes collected in the state. Board member LeRoy Rymer and Fidler pointed out this tax is directly linked to something they need to operate, not simply an extra tax on the business. Patten said this would mean “a tremendous cut” in the state funding available for aviation projects. “I’ve talked to some of my friends in the Legislature and they think it is probably going to pass,” Patten said. The most recent amendment to the bill would set the cap just over $21.3 million in the next fiscal year and $17.7 million the following year. Patten said if the bill passes, FedEx would pay $12 million less in aviation fuel tax in the first year. Patten said the situation should be studied further before a bill is voted on. “I think they are being short sighted in pushing this through,” Patten said. Board member Steve Wright said if the Legislature was going Letter From Page 1 Initial estimates put the cost of the facility at $2.8 million and the resolution calls for it to be funded for the next fiscal year. Tenth District Attorney General Steve Crump and local judges have all expressed their support for the building. Now, another part of the judiciary process has expressed its vocal appreciation for the effort and hoped for result. Alvin Word III, grand jury foreman, said in a letter to commissioners this week it took months of “dedicated time and effort to bring together a consensus that our county is in need of the workhouse and work release program.” He noted the grand jury itself We’re online! Check us out: www. cleveland banner.com to pass this, they should include a way to make up the difference in funding in the bill. Some are concerned that if the bill does not pass, FedEx will move its Memphis operations to an out of state location. Fidler said he did not think that would happen. Rymer said if the bill passed, it would have a long-term negative impact on economic development, because municipal airports would not have the necessary funding to upgrade airports to meet growing demands. On Friday, the bill was placed on the Senate Regular Calendar for consideration on Tuesday. The bill will be considered by the House Finance Ways and Means subcommittee on the same day. The sales tax on aviation fuel in Tennessee is 4.5 percent. An anonymous letter sent to the city has negatively impacted local revenue from the jetport. The letter writer took issues with the jetport allowing the Sports Car Club of America to hold events on the tarmac because it was not an aviation related event. Fidler said the meetings have been temporarily suspended until Fidler receives a response from the Federal Aviation Administration. Fidler said he was writing a response to the letter for consideration by the FAA. He also noted there are other airports in the country that allow similar events on their property. A contract for the club to hold monthly events at the jetport was approved by the board at a previous meeting. The contract was expected to bring in revenue of $19,800 at $1,800 per event. The board approved a $1.2 million budget for consideration by the Cleveland City Council. Continual rain has postponed flights for the 10 students enrolled in the FBO’s flight school.

Burglary From Page 1 “They call and report these people. They call and report crime,” he said. Watson said one of the biggest burglary rings involving 128 cases in the county was solved with one phone call. “A lady called. She knew a vehicle in her neighborhood didn’t belong there,” he said. “It’s through that type of relationship with the community and building that type of trust these cases are being solved.” Watson said it is a reason he feels the quarterly town hall meetings are so important. “We want to hear the concerns of the community. We want to know what we can do better to serve the people,” he said. The sheriff also gave credit to “the hard work of our officers.” “They are hard workers. They don’t complain to work or work overtime if needed to solve someone’s burglary or theft. They go the extra mile,” Watson said. He noted there has been “time after time” when BCSO officers have fed people “out of their own pocket.” “There was a situation a few weeks ago where two of our offi- cers found a family with a 3month-old baby living underneath a bridge,” he said. “They took them to a hotel and paid for them to stay out of their own pocket until we could get a church to help.” “They don’t do it for fame and glory. I didn’t know anything about it until I heard it through the rumor mill. We did congratulate and recognize their efforts in helping those less fortunate,” he said. Watson said the success the recent numbers show is because “everybody has come together” in the department. “They have seen the goals of this department,” he said. “I set some pretty tough goals on day one and a lot of sleepless nights determining how to distribute the work load around the department, what kind of tools can make the officers’ jobs better and have good communication with the public.” “We can have all the tools, cameras and forensic equipment in the world. But, 80 percent of our crimes are solved through the public’s help,” Watson said. “Then it’s up to the officers to put those pieces together. That’s their job.” than 10 percent of the total respondents saying that qualification is “critical.” Both surveys did rank highly the need for a new director to have served as a principal. More than three-fourths of the total respondents ranked that qualification as “critical” or “important.” Those same rankings were also reflected in the importance of the director having prior experience as a teacher. Board members reading the survey will see some pointed remarks about their past actions — especially from the survey’s answered from within the system. Seventeen out of the 140 comments in the internal survey referenced a dissatisfaction with the loss of former Director of Schools Johnny McDaniel. There were two specific recommendations for director mentioned in the comments. Walker Valley High School Principal Danny Coggins and current Interim Director Scott Humberd were both given high marks on a few of the comments to be elevated to the director’s post. There were also suggestions the board should go outside the current system. “Sometimes an objective, fresh, unbiased view is what is needed to repair and bring unity,” one commentator wrote. Throughout the comments, there are some direct criticisms of the board itself. While those criticisms were not in the majority, it was numerous enough to be notable. “I find it funny that the board is now interested in the teachers’ input when then teachers were not included in any of the discussion regarding what has recently occurred on the board and in our district,” wrote one internal commentator. “The teachers are the glue holding the district together, yet our opinions never seem to matter.” “What I really want to see in a director or a board of education that supports him/her without personal power control issues and vendettas,” another wrote. The 15th and last comment submitted from the public seems to be a summary of all the others: “The school board needs to hit a home run with the next choice for director of schools. Prove to us that politics is not a factor and make the best choice for Bradley County schools.” Leader From Page 1 almost mirrored each other. “Proven leader” was tops with a score of 3.03 from the public and 3.27 from the internal. “Effective communication” was second on both with scores of 2.83 from the public and 2.47 from the internal. Both surveys marked the subject of experience as their third place selection. Public attitude toward the need to be skilled in technology and social media was slightly higher than that of those within the system. Both surveys scored almost equally and highly it is important for the new director to have a proven record for improving student achievement. However, both surveys did not rate highly the need for prior experience as a director with less recommended in 2012 the project be a priority “for the benefit of all Bradley County citizens.” In his letter, Word wanted to personally thank the workhouse committee “for all their time and effort spent in time and travel to make this much need facility a reality.” “The commissioners, led by Louie Alford, and our County Mayor, Gary Davis, have provided great insight to the grand jury and to the workhouse committee,” Word wrote. “It is our belief and understanding that this program will help with the overcrowding of our current jail facility and give those who are sentenced to this program an opportunity, with a non-violent conviction to pay their debt to society, keep a job, get a GED if needed to get a job and to be given a direction, if wanted to find their moral compass for their life,” he continued. “The vast majority of these men and women are good people who have made one or more bad choices.

I don’t think there has been any group that has the ear of the state legislature like people with disabilities.” He said in tough budget years as it is currently “it’s very difficult to remain with the money you’ve got.” “We’re always appreciative of what the legislature does for us,” he said. Henry also said the same for the directors and staff of Life Bridges. “Every community that has facilities like this is a reflection of that community and how they really care about people who are less fortunate,” Henry said. “I seem to think that people will care if they know about it.” He said dealing with their son’s difficulties “is still fresh in our memories.” “Everything we do has been molded around our relationship with John,” he said. Henry said he started out teaching before going to the real estate business. “If anybody had told me then I’d be doing what I’m doing today, I’d never have believed them,” he said. He recalled his years as a state legislator and Republican House minority leader where he became the chief advocate for people with disabilities. “For 12 years, that was my main business because I got there and a state senator not of my party told me to learn something no one else knows and I would be the resident expert,” he recalled. “I thought about it and became the champion for people with disabilities.” Henry said this position will end his public service career which allows him the luxury to Locally Grown Fruits and Vegetables Open: Monday - Saturday April 18 through November 28 Located on Urbane Road in the Bradley County Recreational Complex beside the YMCA 423-728-7105 An Evening with Tim Lovelace Banner photo, BRIAN GRAVES GAtHERING At LIfE BRIdGES during DCS Commissioner Jim Henry’s visit are pictured from left to right: Eddie Cartwright, Life Bridges board member; John Craven, East TN Regional Director of the Deptartment of Intellectual Disabilities; Diana Jackson, Life Bridges CEO; Sandy Holder - DCS Tennessee Valley director; Mrs. Jim (Pat) Henry; Nancy Bouroney, Commissioner Henry's sister; DCS Commissioner Jim Henry; state Rep.

Henry also mentioned the continuing debate over the governor’s Insure Tennessee program. “Let me tell you something. That will make a difference in children’s lives in Tennessee. It will make a difference of people here [at Life Bridges].” He said for individuals to be able to get mental health services who are struggling to keep their children “is huge.” “I’ve just got a feeling somewhere along the road, we’re going to come up in the right place. I’ve not given up on it. We’ve just got to work on it,” he said. “It’s a very controversial issue, but I think we’ll be fine with it. It will open up some opportunities for people — especially children with disabilities and people in state custody.” Henry said he was appreciative of the work Life Bridges has done during its 42-year history. “This is really a special com- munity,” he said. Henry will be honored in Washington, D.C. on April 22 by the organization ChildHelp. The commissioner and his senior staff will be honored with the ChildHelp Voice of the Children Award at the Childhelp National Day of Hope celebration at the Nation’s capital. “The outstanding work that Jim and his team are doing for Tennessee’s at-risk children and families should be brought to the forefront,” said Sara O’Meara, co-founder, CEO and chairman of the board for Arizona-based organization. Mrs. Henry noted that date will be the anniversary of their son’s passing. “We think John had something to do with it,” she said. The presentation will be made by U.S. Sens. John McCain and Dianne Feinstein. That fact made Henry joke, “If they can agree on anything, that’s not bad.” Life Bridges CEO Diana Jackson said she was apprecia- tive of the commissioner’s visit and recognized the support of the board and staff. “We have a strong board with over 175 years of service when you combine the directors we have,” said Life Bridges CEO Diana Jackson. “We’re excited. Life Bridges has grown. We are a staff who is blessed to do what we love and get paid for it and be able to something we feel is a calling on our lives. It’s turned into a legacy for us and how grateful we are.” The agency is the 13th largest employer in the county with 500 employees and serves 170 in day programs and 120 in residential settings including supported living and group homes. During their visit, the Henrys toured the Sheltered Employment Center where people are able to do work and learn how to adapt and be able to work in real-world circumstances.

Waterville Baptist Church 4555 Dalton Pike Highway abuzz with millions of bees after big truck tips LYNNWOOD, Wash. (AP) — A tractor-trailer carrying millions of honeybees overturned on a highway north of Seattle early Friday, scattering hives and sending white-suited beekeepers scrambling to save as many insects as they could. The truck had just merged onto Interstate 5 around 3:30 a.m. when it tipped on its side, dumping its load of 448 hives, or about 13.7 million bees, Washington State Patrol Trooper Travis Shearer said. The driver, a 36-year-old man from Idaho, was not hurt. The company that owns the insects, Belleville Honey and Beekeeping Supply of Burlington, sent beekeepers to recover as many as possible, and bees covered their protective suits as they worked. The bees became more active as the sun rose and the weather warmed, and firefighters had to spray a layer of foam on some of the boxes, killing the insects for safety. Many of the hives were still along the highway more than seven hours after the accident, when a front-end loader began scooping them up and dumping them into a dump truck, Shearer said. The majority of the hives had been crushed. The bees were being transported from Sunnyside, in central Washington, to a blueberry farm in Lynden, a city near the Canadian border about 100 miles north of Seattle, Shearer said. Their job: pollinating crops. First responders and reporters alike swatted at the bees as they tried to do their jobs. HOME LOAN CENTER at the Courthouse Square.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Pacific Gas & Electric Co. investigators were at the scene Saturday of a natural gas pipeline blast at a sheriff’s gun range, as four of the 11 people injured in the explosion were released from the hospital. The victims included two Fresno County sheriff’s deputies, a public works employee and eight jail inmates, according to sheriff’s spokesman Tony Botti. The deputies and two of the inmates were released. The public works employee and another inmate were in critical condition, with the inmate’s condition considered life-threatening, Botti said. Friday’s explosion on a PG&E pipe occurred at the Fresno County sheriff’s gun range while the county employee was using a front-loader to build a dirt berm to confine gunfire to the range, sheriff’s officials said. A group of county jail inmates was doing cleanup work about 50 feet away, Botti said. The explosion sent flames towering over Highway 99 and warped 400 feet of nearby railway line, shutting both down. It was not clear whether the front-loader was being used to dig at the time of the explosion, fire and sheriff’s officials said. PG&E’s natural-gas operations have been under scrutiny since a fiery 2010 PG&E pipeline blast killed eight people in the San Francisco suburb of San Bruno. National Transportation Safety Board investigators blamed faulty safety practices by PG&E, and lax oversight by state regulators, for the 2010 blast. PG&E said the pipeline in Friday’s incident was buried and was damaged by a vehicle. The company was not notified in advance of any work in the area, spokesman Nick Stimmel said. Such advance notice allows PG&E to mark any gas lines. Sheriff Margaret Mims said PG&E had previously marked the location of gas lines in the construction zones. PG&E crews planned to cap the line on Saturday so they could remove the damaged section, Stimmel said. Crews were expected to complete repairs and reopen the freight rail line that was damaged on Saturday, Union Pacific spokesman Francisco Castillo said. The California Public Utilities Commission said it was also investigating the explosion in cooperation with the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Great Strides Walk, 65 Roses raises $74,147 for CF Foundation Last 2 Doolittle Tokyo Raiders giving By JOYANNA LOVE Banner Senior Staff Writer Lee University and its community partners celebrated raising $74,147 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with a luncheon Friday. The funds were raised by teams participating in the 2015 Great Strides Walk and 65 Roses 5K. The top team this year was a joint venture by Garden Plaza of Cleveland and Life Care Centers of Cleveland. Together they raised more than $6,000. The top student team was the Lee U Student Leadership Council raising $2,230. Some of the teams that participate are family members of someone who has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. The top CF family team this year was Dalton’s Gang, which raised more than $4,200. “Dalton is a young boy in our community with CF,” Vanessa Hammond of Lee University said. She said it means a lot to those in the community who have CF to see a group of people who care. “I talked to another mom. She has a little boy named Lucas. She said, ‘It has been so supportive to her and her family to know how many people care and participate,’” Hammond said. Lucas’ CF team was named Lucas’ Avengers. There a total of 28 teams that participated. “One of the goals of Great Strides is to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis,” Hammond said. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation website, “Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lifethreatening genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system.” “Your community has truly opened your arms and embraced the cause,” Leigh Ellington, director of development for the Tennessee Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, said. She said because of the efforts “decades of life” have been added for CF families. The ultimate goal is a one-time treatment cure. “I am excited to say that it is within reach,” Ellington said. Lee University’s student coordinator for the event was Amy Marona. Debbie Melton served as community chair. “It was wonderful to work with you Debbie, and she helped us tremendously with sponsorships,” Hammond said. Hammond presented Melton with a plaque of appreciation for her “generous service.” On July 5, the FDA will make a decision on a new drug for treatment of the disease. If approved, this drug would shorten the treatment time to get the disease under control, she said. “When we started this 15 years ago, we knew it was a great opportunity to partner Lee University with the community,” Mike Hayes, vice president for Student Development, said. “Great Strides is everyone pulling together … despite all the weather challenges (freezing temperatures) we had over 200 walkers that day.” In the past 15 years, the Cleveland Great Strides has raised more than $700,000 for the cause. “One of the reasons I think that cystic fibrosis resonated as a cause among our students … was Nathan. He was a young man who grew up in our community, went to Cleveland high School, graduated… came to Lee, graduated … and was so well loved and respected by the university family and in the community family,” Lee University President Dr. Paul Conn said. “This is one of the ways that this cause was personalized for all of us.” The Cleveland Great Strides is the only event out of 600 that has added a run to accompany the walk. top teams Banner photo, JOYANNA LOVE TOP FUNDRAISING TEAM members for the local 2015 Great Strides, from left, David Dailey of Garden Plaza, Angie Stiltner of Life Care Center of Cleveland, Edna Leamon of Garden Plaza, Amy Mchone of Dalton’s Gang and Loren Otten of Lee University’s Student leadership council stand with community chair Debbie Melton and Leigh Ellington of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Although most of the “Doolittle Tokyo Raiders” beat long odds 73 years ago, surviving anti-aircraft fire, crashed planes and vengeful Japanese soldiers, time has been taking its own toll. Since their 70th anniversary reunion at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, three more Raiders have died, two of them this year. Retired Lt. Col. Richard “Dick” Cole, 99, and Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, 93, are the last of the original 80 crew men from the 16 B-25 bombers that attacked Japan, boosting American morale and stunning Japan less than five months after its attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II. They returned to the museum in Ohio for a Saturday event ceremony to present the Raiders’ Congressional Gold Medal for display. “It just happens that way, I guess,” Thatcher, of Missoula, Montana, said of being one of the last survivors. “Something’s just got to give,” said Cole, a Dayton native who lives in Comfort, Texas. The museum’s director, retired Lt. Gen. Jack Hudson, accepted the medal, the highest honor Congress can give a civilian, for them in Washington on Wednesday. In a video message, Cole said it was an honor to receive the medal “on behalf of 78 fallen Raiders who we proudly served with on that famous raid.” The latest Raider to fall was Lt. Col. Robert Hite, who died March 29 at age 95 at a Nashville, Tennessee, nursing facility. Hite was also the last of the eight Raiders who were captured by Japanese soldiers. Three were executed and a fourth died in captivity. Three other Raiders were killed soon after the bombing run, as most crash-landed or had to ditch. Cole was the co-pilot for their mission’s leader, James “Jimmy” Doolittle, in plane No. 1 of the 16. Thatcher was engineer-gunner aboard the 7th plane, nicknamed “The Ruptured Duck,” whose crew’s crash-landing and evasion of Japanese troops in China was depicted in the movie “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.” Thatcher, who was played by Robert Walker in the movie while Spencer Tracy portrayed Doolittle, chuckled as he recounted how the Raiders had given little thought at the time of the raid about earning a place in history. “We figured it was just another bombing mission,” he said in a phone interview from his home this week. In the years afterward, though, he said, they realized: “It was an important event in World War II.” Thatcher, who said he uses a cane and walker but otherwise is “getting around OK,” was looking forward to weekend events including reunions with family members of the other Raiders to share stories and remembrances. “You learn something new every time,” Thatcher said. Thatcher joined Cole and Lt. Col. Edward Saylor at the museum less than two years ago for a public “Final Toast” in which they lifted specially engraved silver goblets for the traditional toast of their reunions to those who have gone. He and Cole planned to do so again this weekend at a private gathering, now saluting Hite and Saylor, who died in January at 94, among the fallen. Their medal will go on display in the diorama about their raid at the museum, where the director, Hudson, has pledged their inspirational story “will live on.” DON’S FENCE CO.

Facsimile of first Elvis recording re-released NASHVILLE (AP) — After anonymously buying Elvis’ first-ever recording at a January auction, Jack White is offering a limitedrun vinyl re-release of “My Happiness” and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” at his Third Man Records in Nashville. The 10-inch, 78-rpm facsimile of the 1953 recording was digitally transferred from the original acetate onto new vinyl discs with no cleanup — pops, crackles and all. “It’s exactly what came off the grooves,” Third Man’s Ben Blackwell said. The record is being sold in a plain paper sleeve because that’s “what Elvis would have walked out of Sun with a record in,” Blackwell said. “Sun” is, of course, Sun Records, the legendary Memphis label operated by Sam Phillips. Presley paid $4 for the recording. Six decades later, White paid $300,000. Super-fans camped out in front of Third Man beginning Friday morning to make sure they could get their hands on the Elvis record and other goodies available only for Record Store Day. That included the first commercially available vinyl edition of “Get Behind Me Satan” from White’s former band The White Stripes. The original Elvis recording was on display at Third Man as well. The first four people in line were mother-and-son teams from Cleveland and Indianapolis. Christina Condor, said her love affair with White and his store began about three years ago when she saw him perform on “Saturday Night Live.” “I fell in love with his music and started buying more and more albums,” she said. She also introduced her 24-year-old son Maxx Trevino to the scene. Although she and Trevino make the 8-hour drive from Ohio every few months for special store events, she has glimpsed White only rarely on her trips to Nashville. “I drove into the curb the first time I saw him,” she said. “She dented the bumper,” Trevino said. “And there was a Beatles school-girl scream.” Nicholas Lynch, who was in line with his mother, Mary Page, said he moderates a Facebook page for collectors of Third Man’s records. He estimated that at least 100 members of the group were in the line of about 700 people waiting for the store’s 10 a.m. opening. Lynch also was one of about 50 customers who had been able to sign up online to relive the 18year-old Elvis’ recording experience by cutting his own single on a one-microphone, direct-toacetate setup in Third Man’s Blue Room. He planned to play “Baby Please Don’t Go” and then morph into the White Stripe’s “Little Bird.” Once inside the store, Page said that she, Lynch and Lynch’s girlfriend spent more than $500 on merchandise. That included a Record-Store-Day-only version of the White Stripes album with one red disc and one white disc. It also has a lenticular cover — one of those images that changes as you move it around. Nonexclusive versions of the White Stripes album and the Elvis record will be released to a wider audience later this year, Blackwell said. Among the differences, the Elvis recording will be cleaned up and “Get Behind Me Satan” will be stamped on standard black vinyl. But for collectors like Condor, Trevino, Lynch and Page, waiting in line for 26 hours for the exclusive versions was worth it. “Why do we do it? Our love of Jack White,” Condor said. “And Elvis too.” Sheriff: Cannot yet arrest woman bragging of killing cat HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas sheriff said Saturday that he could not arrest and charge a veterinarian shown in a Facebook post bragging about killing a cat with a bow and arrow unless an investigation determines the picture of the dead cat is genuine. Austin County Sheriff Jack Brandes said he was disturbed by the image that shows Kristen Lindsey holding up what she described as a dead feral tom cat. He has assigned two deputies and an investigator to the case. “I’ve had people calling me from all over the country expressing their concern,” Brandes said, speaking from a pasture while inspecting his cattle. “I just want everybody to know several things. We can’t arrest and charge someone like that based on a picture on the internet. We have to make sure that is true and correct. “Anybody can take a computer and alter a photograph.” The operators of the clinic where Lindsey worked in Brenham, about 100 miles northwest of Houston, said Friday she was fired after they learned of the posting earlier in the week, which has since been removed, along with her Facebook account. The posting prompted hundreds of phone calls also to the Washington Animal Clinic. “We are absolutely appalled, shocked, upset, and disgusted by the conduct,” the clinic posted on its web site. “We do not allow such conduct and we condemn it in the strongest possible manner.” Bruce Buenger told BryanCollege Station television station KBTX (http://bit.ly/1CWummO ), which first reported the story, his clinic’s goal was to “try to fix our black eye and hope that people are reasonable and understand that those actions don’t anyway portray what we’re for here.” NEW RICHMOND, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio police officer is being praised for holding his fire even as a slaying suspect charged him, saying repeatedly, “shoot me.” WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported (http://bit.ly/1EXuKaK ) the tense moments were captured Thursday on a body camera worn by New Richmond officer Jesse Kidder. The video shows Kidder repeatedly backpedaling and telling 27-year-old Michael Wilcox he doesn’t want to shoot him. “Law enforcement officers all across the nation have to deal with split-second decisions that mean life or death,” Kidder said. “I wanted to be absolutely sure before I used deadly force.” The New Richmond Police Department Web site says Kidder had been sworn in to join the village police force last April 16, after serving in Iraq as a Marine. One year later, he found himself facing his toughest police challenge so far. Kidder said dispatchers warned him Wilcox could try to force a “suicide by cop.” “He jumped out and he sprinted toward me. I had my firearm already drawn ... and I told him to put his hands up in the air and he was screaming ... ‘Shoot me! Shoot me!’ “ One Hundred Years of Growing Excellence 3355 S.

After finance officials wrapped up three days of talks, the International Monetary Fund’s policy committee set a goal of working toward a “more robust, balanced and job-rich global economy” while acknowledging growing risks to achieving that objective. The Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, held a series of talks with finance officials on the sidelines of the spring meetings of the 188-nation IMF and World Bank, trying to settle his country’s latest crisis. Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank, said it was “urgent” to resolve the dispute between Greece and its creditors. A default, he said, would send the global economy into “uncharted waters” and the extent of the possible damage would be hard to estimate. He told reporters that he did not want to even contemplate the chance of a default. Earlier in the week, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde had rejected suggestions that her agency might postpone repayment deadlines for Greece. On Saturday, she cited constructive talks with Varoufakis and said the goal was to stabilize Greece’s finances and assure an economic recovery and “make sure the whole partnership hangs together” between Greece and its creditors. In its closing communique, the policy-setting panel for the World Bank expressed concerns about the unevenness of global growth and pledged to work with the IMF to provide economic support for poor nations that have been hit hard by falling commodity prices. But international aid group Oxfam expressed disappointment that the IMF and World Bank did not devote more time to exploring ways to lessen widening income gaps. “Given that rising inequality continues to make the headlines everywhere in the world, it is surprising how the issue remained almost totally absent from these spring meetings,” said Nicolas Mombrial, head of the Washington office of Oxfam International. Greece is in negotiations with the IMF and European authorities to receive the final 7.2 billion euro ($7.8 billion) installment of its financial bailout. Creditors are demanding that Greece produce a credible overhaul before releasing the money. The country has relied on international loans since 2010. Without more bailout money, Greece could miss two debt payments due to the IMF in May and run out of cash to pay government salaries and pensions. Fears that Greece could default and abandon the euro currency group sent shockwaves through global markets Friday. After being down nearly 360 points, the Dow Jones industrial average recovered a bit to finish down 279.47. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said that a Greek default would “create immediate hardship” for Greece and damage the world economy. In a speech Saturday to the IMF panel, Lew urged South Korea, Germany, China and Japan to do more to increase consumer demand in their own countries instead of relying on exports to the United States and elsewhere for growth. “We are concerned that the global economy is reverting to the pre-crisis pattern of heavy reliance on U.S. demand for growth,” Lew said. “As we all know, such a pattern will not lead to strong, sustainable and balanced global growth.” The negotiations over Greece’s debt have proved contentious but all sides have expressed optimism that the differences can be resolved. A number of countries directed criticism toward the U.S. for the failure of Congress to pass the legislation needed to put into effect IMF reforms that would boost the agency’s capacity to make loans and increase the voting power of such emerging economic powers as China, Brazil and India. Agustin Carstens, the head of Mexico’s central bank and the chair of the IMF policy panel, said that “pretty much all of the members expressed deep disappointment” that a failure of Congress to act is blocking implementation of the reforms. The IMF panel directed IMF officials to explore whether any interim reforms could be put into effect pending congressional action. The finance ministers urged central banks including the Federal Reserve to clearly communicate future policy changes to avoid triggering unwanted turbulence in financial markets. Time plus distance help — See related story, Page 53 — AP Photo KAylee KemP climbs on her father’s gravestone as her mother, Courtney, sits on a nearby bench in Jonesville, La. Shortly before his unexpected death on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, Wyatt had asked Courtney to bury him with photos of Kaylee and her little sister, Maddison. 5 years on, empty graves, full hearts for Gulf survivors JONESVILLE, La. (AP) — Courtney Kemp was getting dressed for work when husband Wyatt walked in and sat down. He didn’t speak, but she could tell something was weighing on him. She knew that things hadn’t been going well on the job, but Wyatt never wanted to trouble her with details. They’d talked often about the risks of working on an oil rig 41 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico; Wyatt had always insisted that the most dangerous part was the helicopter ride to the Deepwater Horizon. In just a few days, the 27-year-old derrickhand would be leaving for his next three-week hitch. Courtney asked what was wrong. “I just want you to know that if something happened to me ... I don’t want you to be by yourself,” he told her. “And I don’t want the girls to grow up without somebody to be their father.” “If something did, I wouldn’t be able to get over it,” she insisted. “I don’t know how I would go on.” Courtney began to cry, and Wyatt pulled her into a tight embrace. “It’s all going to be OK,” he assured her. In the five years since the Deepwater Horizon exploded and sank off the coast of Louisiana, the Gulf has shown remarkable resilience. So, too, have the families of the 11 men who lost their lives in the disaster. But the shockwaves of April 20, 2010, continue to send out ripples across the gulf of time. Children too young to have any real memories of their fathers ask to hear stories and make pilgrimages to empty graves. The family of one victim recently celebrated the birth of his first grandchild; the mother of another is still coming to grips with the bitter fact that her youngest son will never give her grandkids. These survivors are doing their best to balance the memory of the men they loved and the reality that each of their own lives is an ongoing journey. Consider the road traveled by a young widow named Courtney. —By the spring of 2010, Courtney and Wyatt had been together nearly half their lives. Shortly after high school graduation, they married and moved away. But after just a couple of years, they were drawn back to Jonesville, and to their comfort- able “home” church. Wyatt found a job as a roustabout on a land-based oil rig, then made the jump to the Deepwater Horizon, the “pride of the Transocean fleet.” They built a home amid the ironing boardflat pastures and croplands outside town, and had two daughters — Kaylee and Maddison. Church remained a constant in their lives. The Sunday before he left for his last hitch on the rig, Wyatt answered the pastor’s invitation to approach the altar. When Courtney asked if everything was OK, he replied simply: “Everyone needs prayer at some time or another.” He’d had just a few weeks with newborn Maddison before it was time to return to the Deepwater Horizon. Around noon on April 20, Wyatt called from the Deepwater’s tower. It had been a rough hitch, and he was ready to come home. “I’ll see y’all tomorrow,” he said. At 4:30 the next morning, Courtney was jolted awake by the telephone. A woman from Transocean said there had been an accident. The couple’s pastor was there when Courtney learned that Wyatt was dead. He asked if she remembered the altar call. “Wyatt told me that he wanted to be so close to God that he couldn’t get any closer,” he said. —Ten days after the explosion, Wyatt’s memorial was held at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. Roughneck Dustin Robertson was among those who came to pay their respects. The day of the accident, Robertson was working on BP’s Thunder Horse platform, about 30 miles from the Deepwater. He watched helplessly as the flames shooting from the stricken rig lit up the horizon. At the church, Robertson listened as family and friends eulogized the man who read the Bible to his girls and would sing Dolly Parton’s “Nine to Five” as he laced up his work boots. Sitting there, Robertson knew that it could easily be his wife and daughters crying in that front pew. As the investigations and lawsuits dragged on, Wyatt’s insistence that she remarry kept echoing in Courtney’s mind. She asked God to “send me the right guy.” Following the disaster, Robertson had decided to start a Bible study on his rig. He asked Kemp’s widow if she would share his “testimony.” In March 2011, Robertson invited her to lunch so he could show her how he’d worked Wyatt’s story into his lesson plan. When they parted, Robertson — who was separated from his wife — asked if he could call Courtney from time to time; she said yes. He called later that afternoon and asked if he could take her out on a date that Saturday. They drove all over Jonesville and down the road to Jena, Robertson’s hometown, forgetting even to stop to eat. “We talked for hours,” she says. “And it was easy.” Three months later, Courtney told her father she thought “Dusti” was “the one.” There was just one thing: If they were going to be together, Robertson would have to leave the oilfield. —The couple were married on April 14, 2012. Robertson is now youth minister at the church where he first saw Courtney. They live in the spacious home Courtney and Wyatt built. In November, Corbin Grace Robertson joined her older sisters, Kaylee, 8, and Maddison, 5. Wyatt is still very present. Photos of him with the girls sit on shelves and in bookcases. A miniature of a memorial statue erected at Transocean’s Houston headquarters stands on the family room mantel. A bronzed hard hat with Wyatt’s name on the brim sits in a glass box beside the dining room table. Kaylee and Maddison call Robertson “Daddy.” Wyatt is simply “daddy in heaven.” We’re online!

Bud Welch said his ability to eventually forgive enabled him to survive emotionally after the death of his daughter. For Jannie Coverdale, though, there’s “no such thing” as moving on, even after two decades. All three lost loved ones 20 years ago Sunday, when Timothy McVeigh blew up the Oklahoma City federal building with a rental truck laden with explosives. However, all three took different paths as they tried to come to grips with a pain that never fully heals. Koch initially sought justice for her husband and the 167 other people killed in the attack, eventually becoming an advocate for victims of all crimes in a role at the Oklahoma attorney general’s office. “It was my life for 13 years,” Koch said. “I just had a heart for those who have been hurt by crime — and still do.” But the intensity she threw at her job prevented her from letting go of the trauma of April 19, 1995. “The first few years, I couldn’t see beauty anywhere,” she said. “You can’t even see sunshine. You’re blinded to anything positive, it seems like.” McVeigh and Terry Nichols were convicted of conspiring to detonate a truck filled with more than two tons of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil outside the Oklahoma City federal building and of the deaths of eight federal law enforcement officers, including Koch’s husband, Secret Service agent Don Leonard. McVeigh was eventually executed and Nichols will spend the rest of his life in prison. For Koch, now 68, remarried and living in another state, moving on meant moving away. “Peace was such a hard thing to access for so many years. It’s a wonderful thing to access now,” she said. “You can let go of it being the controlling thing in your life every day. There is life beyond April 19th, not that April 19th goes away. It’s still a part of each and every one of us. But you can focus on other things and have a wonderful life.” Welch’s slain daughter, Julie Marie Welch, was a 23-year-old Spanish-language translator for the Social Security Administration. He said his emotional journey has allowed him to become a resource for the families of other victims of terrorism, including relatives of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. ©2014 some Oklahoma City victims JEWELERS 1721 KEITH STREET • STUART PARK PLAZA( (Next to The Town Squire) 478-0049 • 478-0050 LAY-AWAYS WELCOME A special supplement from the Spring Home Improvement Spring is a great time for shaping up to look good and get healthy, and that includes the house and garden.

The replica of the frigate Hermione, which, in 1780, allowed La Fayette to cross the Atlantic to America and join the American rebels in their struggle for independence aims to cross the Atlantic and will sets off on Saturday. French replica of revolutionary frigate sets sail for Boston FOURAS, France (AP) — With champagne, fireworks and a presidential blessing, a painstakingly built replica of the frigate once used to bring French troops and funds to American revolutionaries set sail Saturday for the U.S. East Coast. With the celebratory sendoff, the 25 million euro ($27 million) Hermione began its voyage to retrace the 65-meter (213-foot) frigate’s trans-Atlantic journey in 1780, when its namesake under the Marquis de Lafayette’s command helped to lay the foundation of French-American relations. Lafayette persuaded French King Louis XVI to provide military and financial support to George Washington’s troops. Lafayette set sail on the frigate on March 21, 1780, from the southwestern port of Fouras, arrived 38 days later in Boston, and played an important role in the revolutionaries’ ultimate defeat of Britain three years later in the Battle of Yorktown with the support of a French army and fleet. French President Francois Hollande took a short trip on the ship ahead of its official departure Saturday night from the waters off Fouras. The Hermione is expected to reach Yorktown, Virginia, in June, and then make several other stops along the U.S. East Coast, including Boston, and should be in New York for the Fourth of July. The ship is the fruit of nearly two decades of brainstorming, fundraising and toil. Using captains’ logs and manuscripts from the era, maritime experts and historians ensured that workers used the same construction materials and methods as those used to build the original. Sailmakers sewed eyelets by hand on the 2,200 square meters (2,600 square yards) of linen sails. Engineers replicated the pulley system. The vessel even was built in the same shipyard, in Rochefort in southwest France. “It has been a very long project,” said Miles Young, president of the Friends of HermioneLafayette in America. “You don’t create an 18th century warship very easily these days. ... It took enormous efforts to find enough oak trees naturally shaped so they could create the helm.” Volunteer crew members from France, the U.S. and other countries are sailing the frigate, with “Hermione” carved across its stern, across the Atlantic. “Authority and respect for the hierarchy is what guarantees our safety on board and ensures the boat runs smoothly,” said crewman Nicolas Masse. “Given that more than 70 percent of the ship’s crew is made up of amateurs, never questioning the line of command is something you have to learn.” A rigger, American Woody Wiest, praised the international camaraderie aboard, and the unique experience of sailing in the 21st century on a ship made up of natural fibers and materials. “When you put people side by side aboard a ship, they’re puking together, they’re cleaning the toilets together, they’re really bonding,” he said. “It makes for a very close and open relationship between people and it lasts forever.” The relationship born of Lafayette’s journey has also been lasting. Even in times of modern diplomatic tensions, American presidents routinely refer to France as “our oldest ally.” “If it hadn’t been for that French intervention at that time,” Young said, “the war of independence probably wouldn’t have been won.” U.S. officials attended Saturday’s events. The U.S. had a chance to reciprocate for France’s support in the American Revolution in two World Wars. After the U.S. entered World War I, a senior American military officer declared “Lafayette, we are here” at the Revolutionary War hero’s tomb in Paris. Local resident Isabelle Rousseau said of Saturday’s voyage, “France helped (the Americans). They returned the favor afterwards with the landing on the beaches in ‘44. ... It’s a magnificent journey.” Among those aboard is Adam Hodges-LeClaire, a volunteer apprentice tailor dressed in period clothing. “I wanted to push this experiment to its logical extreme, so I prepared a full 18th century wardrobe based on after-death inventories I found in the Paris archives and artwork from the period,” he said. “So I have a full valise of 18th century clothes and nothing else. The experiment doesn’t end until I get back to my house this fall and put on jeans again.” FAIZABAD, Afghanistan (AP) — A motorcycle-riding suicide bomber attacked a line of people waiting outside a bank Saturday in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 35 and wounding 125 in an assault the country’s president blamed on the Islamic State group. The accusation by President Ashraf Ghani, following local media reporting the Islamic State group’s Afghan affiliate claiming the attack, would mark a major escalation in the extremists’ nascent campaign of violence in the country. While nowhere near as powerful as the Taliban, the affiliate’s ability to strike at will would mark a new threat for the country to contend with as U.S. and NATO forces ended their combat mission at the start of the year. It also further stretches the Islamic State group’s influence far beyond its self-declared caliphate stretching through a third of Iraq and Syria. The attack in Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province, targeted a crowd of soldiers and civilians gathered outside the bank to receive their monthly salaries. The blast killed at least 35 peo- ple and wounded 125, said Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, a spokesman for the provincial governor. Hours after the attack, Ghani blamed the Islamic State group for the bombing. “In the horrific incident in Nangarhar, who took responsibility? The Taliban didn’t claim responsibility. Daesh claimed responsibility for it,” Ghani said, using an Arabic acronym for the group. Local Afghan media quoted a previously unknown man who identified himself as a spokesman for the Islamic State group’s affiliate in the country, claiming responsibility for the attack. It’s not clear whether Ghani relied on this for his remarks or if he had other intelligence at his disposal. The Taliban denied it carried out the bank attack and another elsewhere in the province that killed one civilian and wounded two. “We condemn/deny involvement in both,” Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid tweeted.

The long linen with the faded image of a bearded man, that is the object of centuriesold fascination and wonderment, will be on display for the public from April 19 to June 24. Pope Francis said he is planning to visit the Holy Shroud during a pilgrimage to Turin next June 21. Turin Shroud goes back on display for faithful and curious TURIN, Italy (AP) — Turin’s archbishop says interest in the Shroud of Turin is so keen that many pilgrims who already saw the burial cloth some believe covered Jesus are returning to see the linen again when it goes back on display starting Sunday. The 4.3-meter-long (14-foot) cloth will be displayed April 19June 24. Pope Francis will view it on June 21 on an overnight trip to the Turin area, which will include private time with relatives. Public viewings of the cloth were last held in 2010. “Many pilgrims who had already seen the shroud in past showings come back, even though some saw it just five years ago,” Archbishop Cesare Nosiglia said on Saturday. “That’s not a long time. And yet many of the bookings we have are people who have already seen the shroud. That means there is a fundamental need in people’s hearts to renew this incredible experience that they had the first time they saw it,” the prelate told reporters. Reservations are mandatory but free of charge to see the shroud, displayed in a climatecontrolled case, in Turin’s cathedral. Turin’s mayor said recently that more that 1 million people had made reservations. In 2010, some 2.5 million people came, according to organizers of the display. The pope’s predecessor, Benedict XVI, has described the cloth as an icon “written with the blood” of a crucified man. Benedict said there was “full correspondence with what the Gospels tell us of Jesus.” When Pope John Paul II saw the shroud in 1998, he said the mystery forces questions about faith and sciences and whether it really was Jesus’ burial linen. He urged continuous study. Skeptics say the linen bearing the figure of a crucified man is a medieval forgery. Nosiglia said people of all faiths will come to see the shroud, not just Christians. “Even non-believers will come. It’s an occasion that brings everybody together and aims to give a precise response to the violence in this world. It tells us that the way to build a fairer world is not violence, but love,” he said. Pope hopes Milan fair will help environmental effort VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis says Milan’s world’s fair, which opens on May 1, can inspire decision-makers to help save the “health of the planet that God entrusted to the care of the human race.” Francis on Saturday praised Expo’s theme of exploring ways the planet can feed its people. The exposition will run for six months. public image rise dramatically since it seized much of Iraq last summer. Its online videos and propaganda, including scenes of its mass killings and beheadings, have caught the attention of many extremists. In Libya, an Islamic State group affiliate has carried out attacks and beheaded 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt. Insurgents in Egypt’s strategic Sinai Peninsula also have pledged to the group, while another purported affiliate in Yemen claimed a series of suicide bombings in March that killed at least 137 people. Ghani previously has warned that the Islamic State group was starting to establish a presence in Afghanistan. He used his visit to the United States last month to reiterate his concerns. “If we don’t stand on the same line united, these people are going to destroy us,” Ghani told a crowd of 600 people Saturday in Faizabad, the capital of northeastern Badakhshan province. He called on the Taliban to join with the Kabul government, and said that any Taliban who switched allegiance to Islamic State group would earn the wrath of Afghanistan’s religious leaders. 423.242.5318 Dignified Services at Realistic Prices! 2415 Georgetown Road, NE 473-2620 16—Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015 www.clevelandbanner.com THANK YOU for supporting Great Strides and the 65 Roses 5K!

He worked his way out of jams in the third, seventh and ninth innings. “Dustin did a great job again,” said Lee head coach Mark Brew. “He has really matured and was in control against an outstanding hitting team.” The Flames put two runs on the board in the second inning. Trent Hill singled and M.J. Brown reached on a fielder’s choice. Nate Wierzgac singled home Hill and Luke Toms’ onebase hit scored Brown.

WALKER, AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE (AP) — Getting the first victory in three weeks is nice. Beating the Chicago Blackhawks to avoid an 0-2 deficit before hitting the road is much, much sweeter. Craig Smith scored the first two playoff goals of his career and added an assist, and the Nashville Predators beat the Blackhawks 62 on Friday night to tie their Western Conference openinground playoff series at a game apiece. It also was their first victory since clinching a postseason berth on March 28, and they did it in style with a postseason franchise-high six goals. Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne, who was in net for six of the seven games in the skid, called it a big win. “It feels great. Winning is a lot of fun, and at this point of the season, it’s a high stakes and it’s a big game and we come out like that,” Rinne said. “It’s fun to play at home. Obviously, second game at home and big, big, big tying gaRinne made 24 saves for the win and even had an assist. Filip Forsberg had a goal and an assist, and Colin Wilson, Roman Josi and Mike Santorelli each scored a goal. Nashville lost captain Shea Weber to a lower-body injury nearly midway through the second period. Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane scored for Chicago, which is chasing its third Stanley Cup trophy in six years. Corey Crawford, yanked after one period in Game 1, gave up three goals in 2 minutes, 19 seconds in the third period as Nashville turned a tight game into a rout late with the fastest threegoal spurt in the franchise’s playoff history. “They stole some home ice here,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “We’ve got to go back into Chicago and get it back.” Game 3 is Sunday in Chicago, and coach Joel Quennville has to decide whether to stick with Crawford or go with Scott Darling, who made all 42 saves in winning Game 1. “We’ll see,” Quenneville said. “We’ll talk about it as we go along tonight and tomorrow, and we’ll do what gives our best chance.” With NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman in the stands, he got to Hill singled to load the bases. Brown cleaned the sacks with a long double (3RBI). Wierzgac posted his second hit before Luke Toms unloaded a three-run jack over the 375 mark in rightcenter field. The Flames added the final run in the eighth. Toms was hit by a pitch. Siosi Poti had a bunt single and Chris Adams delivered an RBI hit that scored Toms. banner photo, sArAlyn norkus sAMAnthA coleMAn begins to flip a 700 pound tire during the True Grit Strongman Challenge. The United States Strongman sanctioned event was held on Saturday at the Grit House. Competitors muscle through local Strongman competition By SARALYN NORKUS Banner Sports Writer Coming from near and far, 28 bastions of strength gathered in Cleveland on Saturday for the True Grit Strongman Challenge. “This was our first event in Southeast Tennessee for the United States Strongman. I think it went great and we had people come from all over to compete,” event organizer Larry Berry stated. “We had a good number (of competitors), a great crowd and the events went well — I really couldn’t have asked for anything bet- ter.” Held at the Grit House gym off Waterlevel Parkway, the five-event Strongman competition began at 9 a.m. and finished up six hours later. “The owners of this gym letting us use this place were incredible. The volunteers were awesome and we couldn’t have done it without them. They made this run smooth,” Berry declared. “The reaction from the competitors has been very, very good. They have praised how well it ran and how efficient it was.” The 28 competitors were grouped together based on weight class (lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight and super heavyweight) and competition level (novice or master). According to Berry, the men’s lightweight and middleweight classes were the most competitive. The competition was made up of the axle clean and press, deadlift medley, tire flip, farmers carry and stones over bar. Those competing in the men’s lightweight did the clean and press with 200 pounds and the deadlift medley with a 450-pound trapbar, 350pound fatbar and 275-pound standard bar. In the farmers carry they had 200 pounds in each hand and flipped a 500pound tire. In the stones over bar event, they had to get a 180-pound stone over a 48inch high bar. The middleweight men were bumped up to 225 pounds for clean and press, carried 240 pounds in each hand for the farmers carry and flipped the 700-pound tire. In the deadlift medley, they began with a 525pound trapbar, 425-pound fatbar and had 345 pounds on the standard bar. A 240-pound stone was picked up and put See STRONGMAN, Page 25 See PREDS, Page 25 TORONTO (AP) — After waiting 11 games for his first home run with Toronto, Josh Donaldson is quickly making up for lost time. Donaldson went deep for the third time in two days, belting a leadoff shot in the 10th inning that lifted the Blue Jays to a 6-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. It was the fourth game-ending homer of Donaldson’s career. “As a baseball player, as any competitor, you enjoy moments where you can win the game for your team,” he said. Donaldson’s drive into the second deck in left was his third hit of the afternoon. The slugger, who was acquired in an offseason trade with Oakland, had two homers in Friday night’s 8-7 loss to Atlanta. Being in the spotlight is nothing new for Donaldson, who hit 29 homers and made the All-Star team last year. But he feels any of his new teammates could have come up with the big hit against the Braves. “I think what’s great about this lineup is it can be anybody any given day,” he said. “We have a lot of guys in here that are very capable of shouldering the load and today it was just my turn.” Danny Valencia went 4 for 4 for Toronto, and Jose Bautista connected for his third homer. Valencia matched his career high for hits, accomplished three other times.

Voytik growing comfortable in new-look Pitt offense PITTSBURGH (AP) — Chad Voytik is prepping for his second season as the starting quarterback at Pittsburgh, but in so many ways it seems like his first. The impending junior knows what to expect once the competition begins on September 5 against Youngstown State, but it is the preparation under the offensive staff that joined new head coach Pat Narduzzi where Voytik needs to find his way. “It kind of feels the same with the new offense,” Voytik said. “I am kind of back to square one. I kind of felt like a freshman. As far as my knowledge of the defense and overall IQ, it has helped me a lot this spring. I know why we are running a certain concept if we see AP photo a certain coverage and I can attack that.” Pittsburgh quArterbAck chAd Voytik has a new quarAnother concept that is new to Voytik: enterterback guru in offensive coordinator Jim Chaney but the same old ing Saturday’s Blue-Gold game as the expectations heading into Saturday's spring game: take care of the entrenched starter. New coach Pat Narduzzi ball and get it to wide receiver Tyler Boyd whenever possible. brought back the traditional spring wrap up — with a twist — after former coach Paul Chryst opted for a series of scrimmages last year. Narduzzi brought in former Pitt stars Larry Fitzgerald and Aaron Donald to serve as honorary coaches for the game, with teams selected during a live player draft. Voytik will be surrounded by familiar faces in the huddle, with junior wide receiver Tyler Boyd and running back James Conner joining him on Fitzgerald’s team. “It is going to be nice to be out there and get a crowd out there and have Fitzgerald and Donald come out,” Voytik said. “That will be cool. It puts guys in a game situation. We have had all spring to evaluate our play. This is kind of the grand evaluation. You see what you have learned and how you can execute it.” After a month of practicing, Voytik is ready to use his progressions and knowledge of offensive coordinator Jim Chaney’s playbook in a game setting. “We installed a lot and learned a lot. It is hard to piece together your thought process and your emotions as well. If you think too much, you will see a lack of accuracy,” Voytik said. “That has been the battle, to settle my mind.” As for earning his spot and good graces with the new coaching staff, Voytik proved to each one of them he is ready for the challenge. He got to know Chaney when Chaney was working at Tennessee trying to lure Voytik to the Volunteers. Voytik opted for the Panthers instead, though Voytik feels their familiarity is speeding up the process. “It is nice to have known coach Jim Chaney before,” Voytik said. “We are just building off our previous relationship. It feels like they trust me.” Narduzzi has given his players plenty of incentive to go hard. The winning team will dine on steak and lobster Saturday night, while it’s hot dogs for the losers. 18—Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015 www.clevelandbanner.com SCOREBOARD oN AIR TV SportsWatch All Times EDT Sunday, April 19 AUTo RACING 10:30 a.m. NBCSN — Formula One, Bahrain Grand Prix, at Sakhir 1 p.m. FOX — NASCAR, Sprint Cup, Food City 500, at Bristol, Tenn. 3 p.m. NBCSN — Indy Lights, Long Beach (Calif.)

(AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning flexed a little bit of muscle, then went to work on evening their NHL playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings. Ben Bishop had 23 saves and Tyler Johnson scored two goals, one on them on a power play while two teammates were in the penalty box for roughing, and the Lightning rebounded Saturday for a 5-1 victory Saturday in Game 2 of the opening-round Eastern Conference series. The best-of-seven series shifts to Detroit for Game 3 on Tuesday, with the Red Wings searching for answers on how to generate more scoring opportunities against Bishop. “We played physical, we played hard, and finally the hard work paid off,” Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said. A big scrum along the boards in front of the Lightning bench led to Stamkos and teammate, Brian Boyle, in the penalty box, along with Detroit’s Danny DeKeyser and Kyle Quincey, who tussled with Stamkos and drew a four-minute penalty. “We’re just sticking up for each other. We’ve done that all year. That’s been a characteristic of this team,” Stamkos said. “Whether it had an effect on the game, obviously, Johnny (Johnson) was nice to get it going on the power play there.” Johnson scored just over 3 minutes into the game, giving Tampa Bay its first lead of the series. He beat goal Petr Mrazek again to finish a three-goal flurry that put Tampa Bay up 4-0 after two periods. “It was a little bit more physi- cal, but that’s the way it’s supposed to be this time of year,” Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg said. “Nothing really surprised me.” Bishop lost his bid for a shutout when Detroit’s Tomas Tatar scored at 5:49 of the third period. The 6-foot-7 goalie won a career-best 40 games during the regular season and is one of the reasons the Lightning feel good about their chances of making a deep run in the playoffs. “We thought we played well enough in the first game to win and we didn’t, so it was important to come out and play like we did,” Bishop said. “Obviously, it’s going to be a little tougher in Detroit, but we’re looking forward to it. It should be fun.” See RED WINGS, Page 25 AP photo tAmPA BAy lightning defenSemAn Nikita Nesterov (89) and Detroit Red Wings center Landon Ferraro battle for the puck in the first period of Game 2 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series Saturday, in Tampa, Fla. Blues whip Wild to even series at game apiece ST. LOUIS (AP) — There was no containing Vladimir Tarasenko this time around. Held to an assist without a shot in a deflating Game 1 loss, Tarasenko responded with his first career playoff hat trick, and the St. Louis Blues beat the Minnesota Wild 4-1 on Saturday to even their first-round series at a game apiece. “You need to forget whatever it was. Bad game, good game, doesn’t matter,” Tarasenko said. “You need to make a next step. If you think about your success, you’ll stop playing.” Tarasenko scored two goals in the first period and an emptynetter with 17 seconds remaining in an impressive performance more in line with his play in the regular season. The dynamic winger ran his playoff total to seven goals in nine games. “We need him to rise up,” coach Ken Hitchcock said. “For us to have success, our best players have to be significant, and that was a big step today. “We needed more of that and we got it.” Patrik Berglund stole the puck from Jordan Schroeder at center ice and beat Devan Dubnyk for a two-goal cushion with 1:58 to go, sending the Central Division champions to Minnesota with the momentum for Game 3 on Monday night. It was Berglund’s AP photo St. louiS BlueS' VlAdimir tArASenko, left, scores past Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk (40) as Blues' Jori Lehtera (12) and Wild's Ryan Suter watch in the first period Saturday, in St. Louis. fifth career playoff goal. “You lose a game and it’s frustrating, it’s disappointing,” Wild coach Mike Yeo said. “We knew we were going to face their best game. “We’ll find a way to get better.” The Wild trimmed St. Louis’ lead to 2-1 when Marco Scandella scored on a slap shot that broke his stick and snuck past Jake Allen at 1:46 of the third. Allen, the first rookie goaltender to win a playoff game for the Blues since 1990, survived another few close calls before the final flurry. Minnesota had won 13 of its last 14 road games, including a 12-game streak that ended in the regular-season finale in St. Louis after it had clinched a wild card and several regulars were rested. Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk assisted on both of Tarasenko’s goals in the first period, giving him four points in the series. The Blues made several slick passes to set up Tarasenko’s deflection of a shot from the point by Alexander Steen at 13:18. Tarasenko scored on the Blues’ next shot on a power play late in the first. Dubnyk strayed just enough from guarding the post and the Blues’ top scorer snuck one in off the goalie’s pad from a severe angle at 18:01. “That’s just a mistake by me,” Dubnyk said. “It’s not a good goal. Make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Besides the empty-netter, Tarasenko had two more good chances in the second period, a lunging one-timer and a quality shot on the rush near the buzzer. He set career highs with 37 goals and 36 assists in the regular season. Thomas Vanek and Charlie Coyle assisted on Scandella’s fourth career playoff goal, with all three earning their first point of the series. Coyle hit the crossbar falling to his knees with just under nine minutes to go, and Blues captain David Backes cleared the puck from the crease. Allen used much of his body to make a save midway through the second period after a dump-in by Ryan Suter deflected off a seam in the glass. The puck bounced into the crease and ended up inches from the goal line after Allen first tried to wedge it out with a pad and then fumbled with his glove before finally securing it, somehow, under the top of his stick. “We have some weird glass here,” Allen said. “It hit my left pad, hit my right skate and then I turned around and honestly, just saw it and tried to pounce on it.” Serena Williams gets a rare test from Giorgi but holds on to win BRINDISI, Italy (AP) — Nineteen Grand Slam titles. Nearly 20 years as a professional. An undefeated record this year. And not one career loss in the Fed Cup. Serena Williams’ vast experience proved the difference during an extremely tight first set against Italy’s Camila Giorgi in a 7-6 (5), 6-2 win for the United States in a Fed Cup playoff. Wearing red, white and blue, the top-ranked Williams was put to the test as she kicked off her clay season in front of a hostile crowd Saturday. The end result, though, was quite familiar. “I competed well,” the 33-yearold Williams said. “She played very, very well and I stayed in there. I didn’t get negative. I stayed positive and just did the best that I could. I’ve been working really hard my whole life, so maybe it was just experience.” Neither player broke serve in the first set, which was only decided when Giorgi missed two straight forehands to end the tiebreaker. “My game is very instinctive and I made two key errors,” the 23-year-old Giorgi said. “Two errors are not many but it depends when you commit them. In a tiebreak, two points are worth gold. But I have no regrets for how I played.” Italy’s Sara Errani then evened the best-of-five series with the U.S. at 1-1 by routing 57thranked Lauren Davis 6-1, 6-2. Williams improved to 19-0 this AP photo SerenA WilliAmS returnS A Shot to Italy's Camila Giorgi during their Fed Cup World Group playoff match in Brindisi, Italy, Saturday. year and 15-0 for her career in Fed Cup. The only blemish on Williams’ 2015 record came when she withdrew before the Indian Wells semifinals last month with a knee injury. Giorgi was an unexpected choice by captain Corrado Barazzutti for Italy’s second singles spot over Brindisi native Flavia Pennetta but she showed surprising poise and was even able to match Williams’ power in the opening set. Giorgi and Williams had 17 winners apiece in the first set — which lasted more than an hour — while Williams committed 18 unforced errors to Giorgi’s 15. Unable to impose her game, Williams appeared frustrated and kept shouting “Come on!” to herself in angrier and angrier tones as the first set wore on. Williams consistently applauded, putting one hand to her racket, when Giorgi blasted winners by her, prompting the capacity crowd of 4,000 to break into chants of “ITAL-IA, I-TAL-IA.” But Williams played solidly in the tiebreaker and Giorgi clipped the top of the net on Williams’ first set point. “It was a great match. Giorgi played great throughout,” U.S. captain Mary Joe Fernandez said. “Serena did a good job to really fight and play a solid tiebreak. She served really well in the tiebreak, which I thought was the difference.” In the second set, Williams took control early on. “I haven’t played that many points on the clay so I think that factored a little bit,” Williams said. “But it was also that she played really well. She had a great game plan and that’s the player she is. She just goes for a lot.” Barazzutti was pleased with the score at the end of the first day. Coming in Monday’s editon of the Cleveland Daily Banner 20—Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015 www.clevelandbanner.com Curry scores 34, Warriors beat Pelicans in Game 1 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry scored 34 points with an MVP-worthy performance, and the Golden State Warriors went up big before holding off the New Orleans Pelicans 106-99 in their playoff opener Saturday. Klay Thompson added 21 points, and Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut dominated down low as the Warriors looked every bit like the NBA’s top seed — at least for three quarters. They smothered Anthony Davis and the Pelicans with the league’s best defense, thrilling a gold shirt-wearing sellout crowd of 19,596 that rocked and roared all afternoon. The Warriors led by 15 after the first quarter, 18 at the half and 25 late in the third. The Pelicans pulled within four in the final minute behind Davis, who scored 20 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter, to make the contest seem closer than it really was. Game 2 of the series is Monday night in Oakland, where the Warriors have won 19 straight. Davis shot 13 of 23 from the floor and grabbed seven rebounds in his playoff debut. Quincy Pondexter scored 20 points and Eric Gordon added 16 for the Pelicans, who shot 42.2 percent. That was due in large part to Golden State’s defensive stoppers, Green and Bogut, who came up big on both ends. Pelicans point guard Tyreke Evans also left in the first half with a bruised left knee and did not return. Green finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. Bogut had 12 points, 14 rebounds and five assists. The Warriors won a franchiserecord 67 games, going a leaguebest 39-2 at home. And just like their regular-season resume predicted, they worked over the Pelicans with all the pomp and potency of a playoff powerhouse. Fans chanted “War-ri-ors!” during warmups, an alley-oop from Thompson to Bogut got them roaring more and then came Curry crashing through the lane for layups, sending them into a chorus of “M-V-P!” for the man many believe will take home the league’s most coveted individual award. All of it started from a swarming defensive effort that kept Davis from doing much until the final quarter and, in turn, negated everything New Orleans wanted to do. Golden State led 28-13 after the first quarter. In the final seconds of the second quarter, Curry raced up court and converted a left-handed reverse layup off the top of the glass, drawing a foul on Davis to start a three-point play and flexing his arms to the crowd. The basket put the Warriors up 59-41 at the half, and they led 82-57 late in the third quarter. Despite Davis’ late push, it was too much for New Orleans to overcome. Curry finished 13 of 25 shooting but just 4 of 13 from 3-point range. He also had five assists and four rebounds. The Pelicans’ Pondexter was called for a technical foul in the second quarter for shoving Green in the face after the two got tangled up under the basket. Jrue Holiday had five points and five rebounds in 21 minutes in Evans’ place.

LeBron back in playoffs with Cavs AP photo toronto rAPtors' kyle lowry fouls Washington Wizards’ Bradley Beal (3) during NBA playoff action in Toronto, Saturday. Pierce leads Wizards past Raptors in OT in Game 1 TORONTO (AP) — Paul Pierce beat the Raptors with a veteran mix of brains and baskets. Pierce scored five of his 20 points in overtime, Nene had 12 points and 13 rebounds, and the Washington Wizards beat Toronto 93-86 on Saturday in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. Pierce hit a 3-pointer, his fourth of the game, to begin the extra session, further tormenting a Raptors team he eliminated with Brooklyn in last year’s playoffs, then derided this week by saying, “I don’t feel they have the ‘It’ that makes you worried,” in an interview with ESPN. Bradley Beal scored 16, while John Wall and Kevin Seraphin each had 10 for the Wizards. Amir Johnson scored 18 points and DeMar DeRozan had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who have yet to win the opening game of a first-round series in seven postseason appearances. Toronto hosts Game 2 on Tuesday night. Badgered by taunts from a vocal sellout crowd, Pierce also drew the ire of Toronto’s general manager. Masai Ujiri, who was fined $25,000 after he used a profanity about Brooklyn at the start of last year’s series, used another profanity in a pregame speech to thousands of fans watching on a big screen outside the arena. This time, Ujiri’s off-color comment referred to Pierce’s recent “It” remark. Pierce may have never played it better, although he’s certainly had plenty of practice. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who attended the game, told Canadian broadcaster TSN that Ujiri’s comments were “not appropriate.” Before the series, Wittman said he picked Pierce’s brain about what Brooklyn did to beat Toronto last year, and Pierce’s experience in winning an NBA title with Boston. Washington held a double-digit lead in the second half, but Greivis Vasquez, who came on after All-Star Kyle Lowry fouled out, tied it at 82all by hitting a 3-pointer with 25 seconds left. Neither team scored again until Pierce made a 3-pointer 36 seconds into overtime, the first basket in a 7-0 Wizards run. Toronto missed seven straight shots before DeRozan’s dunk with 29 seconds left. The Raptors’ only Game 1 win came over Philadelphia in the second round of the 2001 playoffs. CLEVELAND (AP) — Five years ago, LeBron James left the floor after Game 5 against Boston in disgrace. There were boos from the home fans, even some whispers he'd quit on the Cavaliers. On Sunday, in his first playoff game for Cleveland since 2010, James will take his first step toward an NBA championship — toward the one that could top them all. James and the Cavaliers open the playoffs against the Celtics, a team he knows well and the one that abruptly ended his first stay in Cleveland. Shortly before his exit to Miami in the summer of '10, the Cavs were beaten in six games by the Celtics, and that series loss, perhaps as much as any other, scarred James. This opening-round matchup appears to be a mismatch for James and the Cavs, who righted themselves after a 19-20 start and are expected to easily dispatch the up-and-coming Celtics. In James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, Cleveland has an updated version of the "Big 3," while Boston traded star guard Rajon Rondo and finished two games under .500. The oddsmakers have tabbed the Cavs co-favorites to win the title, but James knows well that there are no guarantees. "Everyone's 0-0 when you get to this point, so our whole game plan right now is giving ourselves a chance to win the game," said James, who has never lost a firstround series. Since that defeat by Boston in 2010, James has won two titles in Miami, and he's now hoping to quench a 51-year championship drought in a tortured city that didn't take long to re-embrace him. Cleveland and Boston split the season series, with the Celtics winning twice last week — games in which Cavs coach David Blatt rested starters to be fresh for the postseason. The only time both teams were at close to full strength was March 3, when the Cavs demolished the Celtics 110-79. Boston guard Evan Turner knows for the Celtics to have any chance, James must be slowed. "You try to make it uncomfortable for him, make him work (defensively), contest his shots," Turner said. "I know he's going to get calls, and I know he's going to make a lot of great plays." There are some other sub-plots to the Celtics-Cavs series: Smooth transiiton: Celtics coach Brad Stevens knows his way around the NCAA Tournament, but this is his first dance with the big boys. In 2010 and 2011, he guided Butler to consecutive NCAA title games. He took over the Celtics last season, when they went 25-57 while rebuilding. Hawks know from experience that eight seeds can be trouble ATLANTA (AP) — There’s nothing to indicate the Atlanta Hawks will have any trouble with the Brooklyn Nets in the opening round of the NBA playoffs. The top-seeded Hawks won all four regular-season meetings by an average of more than 17 points. They finished a whopping 22 games ahead of the Nets in the Eastern Conference standings. But Atlanta knows from experience that a No. 8 seed can cause plenty of problems. A year ago, the Hawks were in the same position when they took on the Indiana Pacers. Atlanta won twice in Indianapolis, had a chance to wrap up the series at home, and wound up losing in a seven-game thriller. Now it’s the Hawks (60-22) with the target on their backs after setting a franchise record for wins and earning their first No. 1 seed since 1994. “We understand that seeds don’t really matter once you get in the playoffs,” Hawks center Al Horford said. “We were the perfect example of that last year. We pushed Indiana to the limit. We understand we need to come out with a sense of urgency.” The Nets (38-44) didn’t clinch a playoff berth until the final night of the regular season. They know they’ll have their hands full trying to become only the sixth No. 8 seed to win a series since the playoff format expanded in 1984. “They’ve played consistently well all year long,” Brooklyn coach Lionel Hollins said. “It’s a tremendous challenge, but that’s what competition is all about.” Here are some things to watch for when the Hawks take on the Nets: TURNING IT BACK ON: After building a huge lead in the Eastern Conference, the Hawks coasted down the stretch with the idea of giving their starters plenty of rest and keeping everyone as healthy as possible. The team won only seven of its last 15 games, including a pair of threegame losing streaks. Can Atlanta regain the form that led to a 19game winning streak and a perfect mark in January? Lopez in the middle: Center Brook Lopez might provide one of the best chances for Brooklyn to pull off a huge upset. The 7-footer has really stepped up his play since the All-Star break by averaging 19.7 points and 9.2 rebounds, compared to 15.3 and 6.2 over the first 42 games.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Troy Merritt felt the fear Saturday he experienced during his successful amateur career. The third-round leader at the RBC Heritage expects another healthy dose Sunday. Merritt shot a 2-under 69 to take a three-stroke lead over defending champion Matt Kuchar, Brendon Todd and Kevin Kisner. Jim Furyk, No. 10 in the world, was four shots behind, with Masters champ Jordan Spieth another stroke back and eager to win another jacket — this one tartan. Merritt finished at 14-under 199, two off the 54-hole scoring record set by Justin Leonard in his 2002 victory. Todd made the big move with a 63, the day’s lowest round. Kisner shot 67, and Kuchar 68. Furyk led a group another stroke behind after a 68, with Spieth five shots back, also following a 68. Brice Garnett and Branden Grace were tied with Furyk in fifth. Garnett shot 65, and Grace 66. Bo Van Pelt was 9 under along with Spieth after a 67. The pack of seven players at 8 under included 2013 winner Graeme McDowell, past British Open champ Louis Oosthuizen and former world No. 1 Luke Donald. All of them will have to chase down Merritt, the 54-hole leader for the first time in his career. His best finish on the PGA Tour is a second in Memphis last year. Merritt moved to the top and built a four-shot lead Friday with his courserecord tying 61 at Harbour Town Golf Links. He lost nearly all of that on the front nine Saturday before regrouping. Merritt explained how that fear calms him and reminds him not to press and take chances to keep the edge. “You go out there, play solid golf, take care of your business and you see how the other guy is doing,” he said. That worked in the third round after Merritt put a ball in the water on the par4 eighth hole — “It was a spectacular splash,” he said — leading to a double bogey and reducing his lead to a stroke. That’s when Merritt regrouped and responded, making a birdie on the ninth to regain his rhythm. Spieth thrilled the gallery with his bounce-back 62 on Friday and it was a full house around the first tee when the 21-year-old Texan got started. But Spieth played more like he did in Thursday’s opening 74 than in the second round, fighting to put shots close and make putts on the way to his 68. Still, it was Spieth’s 18th time breaking par in his past 19 rounds, a monthlong run of success that included the Valspar Championship title, seconds at Texas and Houston and that record-tying Masters win from last week where he matched Tiger Woods’ mark of 18-under from 1997. And the fans continued to celebrate that accomplishment, shouting and applauding Spieth wherever he walked. One more round and Spieth can get some rest: He’s not playing the Zurich Open next week. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015—21 RCR moving past penalties with interim crew chief BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Richard Childress Racing had the foresight to send an interim crew chief to a test session this week with Ryan Newman — a move that may pay dividends this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. RCR lost its bid to overturn penalties levied against Newman’s team for allegedly manipulating tires at a race last month at California. Although an appeals panel reduced some of the sanctions, the six-week suspensions for crew chief Luke Lambert and two other team members were upheld. Unsure if the organization will take its case to NASCAR’s chief appellate officer, team owner Richard Childress sent Todd Parrott to Bristol to crew chief Newman. Parrott attended a three-day test this week at Kentucky Speedway with the No. 31 team and got started working with Newman and the crew. The decision to take the case to Final Appeals Officer Bryan Moss means Lambert and the two suspended crew members can work this weekend. There was no immediate word from RCR if Lambert will direct AP photo teAM owner riChArd Childress chats with driver Ryan Newman, left, before qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Newman on Sunday, or if engineer Philip Surgen and tire specialist James Bender would return to work. Moss has not set a date to hear the case and has deferred the suspensions. Lambert missed practice and qualifying Friday. RCR’s decision to appeal could backfire: Moss, a former Gulfstream executive, could reinstate the original penalties. The appeals panel reduced the points penalty to Newman and the team from 75 to 50 points and Lambert’s fine from $125,000 to $75,000. Unsure how the appeal process would go, RCR had the foresight to send an interim crew chief to a test session this week with Newman. As the team debated on whether it wanted to appeal further, it sent Parrott to Bristol on Friday in Lambert’s place. Parrott, who is RCR’s director of competition for the second-tier Xfinity Series, gathered the crew in the team truck for a pep talk in Kentucky in case the Thursday appeal was unsuccessful. “I sat them down up in the lounge of the truck and I said, ‘I’m not sure what is going to happen, but if it does happen and I do get the call to go to Bristol and work with you guys, is there anything you need from me? What do you want? What do you like?’” Parrott said Friday at Bristol. Parrott guided Dale Jarrett to the 1999 title and has 31 Cup wins on his resume. There had been speculation throughout the garage that teams were poking tiny holes in their tires in a move called “bleeding tires” and NASCAR seized tires after races at Phoenix and California. Of the four teams who had tires confiscated after California, only Newman’s tires came back as having been manipulated. Kevin Harvick’ and Joey Logano’s tires were taken at Phoenix and both passed an inspection. RCR has maintained its innocence and Childress was grateful that the appeal committee reduced the points deducted from driver and owner from 75 to 50, and cut Lambert’s fine from $125,000 to $75,000. Newman has so far not been made available to comment on the penalties. Parrott, who will split his time between the Cup and Xfinity garages this weekend, said he came to Bristol to win in both series. Ty Dillon is currently leading the Xfinity Series points for RCR and Parrott said he will not “lose sight of that” while guiding Newman. “Ryan is an awesome talent in this sport and one heck of a race car driver,” he said. “I’m not out to get Luke Lambert’s job or any of these guys. I’m just here to fill in and do the job they have asked me to do.” Logano gets flag-to-flag Xfinity win BRISTOL (AP) — Joey Logano led flag-to-flag Saturday to win the Xfinity Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Erik Jones started from the pole but was passed by Logano before he completed the first lap. Logano led all 300 laps in cruising to his second Xfinity Series victory of the season. “I’ve never led every single lap in a race before,” Logano said. “Gosh this is fun. This is amazing. You’re just waiting for something to go wrong.” In three starts in NASCAR’s second-tier series, Logano has driven his Ford to two wins and a second-place finish for Team Penske. Daniel Suarez, a rookie for Joe Gibbs Racing, finished a careerbest second. He needed a big save of his Toyota about halfway through the race, eventually moved into second, but never had a challenge for Logano. “I just can’t believe it — I can’t explain to you in words right now what I’m feeling in Spanish or English,” said Suarez, who was born and raised in Mexico and didn’t speak any English when he first visited North Carolina three years ago to pursue a NASCAR career. Chris Buescher was third in a Ford for Roush Fenway Racing and moved into a tie with Ty Dillon for the series points lead. He said he wasn’t looking too far ahead at a potential championship race. “We recognize that we’re in a very, very good spot right now and we’ve worked very hard to get to that point, but it’s early,” Buescher said. “We’re going to keep going at these races and trying to win. If we can keep that mindset that we just need to go run as well as possible and try to win these races, even if it means taking some chances, I think it will pay off better for us in the long run.” Jones was fourth, followed by Dillon, Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick and Brian Scott. Brendan Gaughan, Elliott Sadler and Brennan Poole rounded out the top 10. Only 12 drivers finished on the lead lap. Harvick appeared to be Logano’s biggest competition, but he never could get around Logano for the lead. Then a speeding penalty on pit road during the fourth caution sent Harvick to the back of the longest line on the ensuing restart. Regan Smith, a championship contender, finished 30th after losing power in his car. AP photo The race had a red-flag period Joey logAno celebrates in just over 10 minutes when J.J.

Kenseth wins pole at Bristol BRISTOL (AP) — Matt Kenseth will try for his first win since 2013 when he starts from the pole at Bristol Motor Speedway. Kenseth led a strong showing from Joe Gibbs Racing on Friday when he turned a lap at 128.632 mph to grab the top starting spot. But he wasn’t sure how his pole-run would help him Sunday. Kenseth is winless in 51 races since New Hampshire in September 2013, but came close last month at California until a late debris caution ruined his day. “Finishing up front is the most important part,” Kenseth said after qualifying. “The guy who’s on the pole always says it’s a big deal for Sunday. Qualifying and racing is different, I think everywhere. Certainly getting one lap here is a lot different than being good for 500 laps.” It was Kenseth’s first pole of the season and 13th of his career. Brad Keselowski qualified second at 128.442 in a Team Penske Ford. He was followed by Carl Edwards as JGR drivers took two of the top three spots, and three of the top five when Denny Hamlin qualified behind Kevin Harvick. David Ragan, the interim driver for injured Kyle Busch in the fourth JGR Toyota, qualified 11th. Martinez, Heyward, Cardinals beat Reds for 4th win in row AP photo ChiCAgo Cubs stArter Kyle Hendricks delivers a pitch in the first inning against the San Diego Padres Saturday, in Chicago. Bryant gets first hit, reaches 5 times as Cubs beat Padres CHICAGO (AP) — Kris Bryant got a standing ovation for his first major league hit and reached base five times Saturday in the Chicago Cubs’ 7-6, 11-inning win over the San Diego Padres. A day after the prized prospect went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in his big league debut, Bryant went 2 for 3 with three walks. He allowed Wil Myers’ bouncer leading off the game to kick off his glove for his first major league error. Bryant walked against Tyson Ross in the first and fourth innings. With the Cubs trailing 2-1 in the fifth, Bryant hit a broken-bat single off the end of his bat into short center to drive in the tying run, earning a big cheer from the 33,958 fans at Wrigley Field. Bryant walked in the seventh, flied out in the ninth and reached on an infield single to shortstop in the 11th against Craig Kimbrel (0-1), moving Anthony Rizzo to third with one out. Pinch-hitter David Ross walked to load the bases, bringing up Starlin Castro. San Diego brought in Myers from center as a fifth infielder and, with all five playing in, Castro singled past third baseman Will Middlebrooks and into left field. Zac Rosscup (1-0) allowed one hit in two scoreless innings for his second major league win. Matt Kemp, who is batting .340 with nine RBIs, hit a tworun homer in the first off Kyle Hendricks, whio allowed two runs and three hits in six innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. Ross gave up three runs, five hits and five walks in 5 2-3 innings, striking out nine. Trailing 6-2, Chicago tied the score in the ninth, which began with singles by Yonder Alonso and Kemp off Phil Coke. Justin Upton greeted Hector Rondon with a run-scoring single, Middlebrooks hit an RBI double, Jedd Gyorko had a run-scoring groundout and pinch-hitter Yangervis Solarte tied the score with a two-out single. Rondon had converted 17 straight save opportunities since Aug. 5. ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jason Heyward wasn’t sure how to react after hitting his first home run as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals in a 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. The curtain call concept was new to him. “A couple guys in the dugout said, ‘They want you to go back out there,’” Heyward said. “So I did. It was a good feeling.” Heyward’s homer backed a strong six-inning pitching performance by Carlos Martinez as the Cardinals won their fourth in a row. Matt Carpenter drove in a pair of runs for the NL Central champions. Zack Cozart homered for the Reds, who have lost three in a row and six of seven. Cincinnati speedster Billy Hamilton left in the eighth inning after beating out an infield single. He is day-to-day with irritation in his right groin, manager Bryan Price said. Heyward was acquired from Atlanta in November to replace outfielder Oscar Taveras, who was killed in an automobile accident. Heyward homered in his 42nd at-bat of the season, connecting in the third inning. “He’s a big boy with a big swing,” said Carpenter, who had two hits. “Hopefully he’s got a lot more homers left in there for us.” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny has final approval on all curtain calls. “They usually look down towards my end of the dugout to see if it is appropriate or not,” Matheny said. Matheny gave the thumbs-up and the celebration was on. Martinez (1-0) allowed one run and three hits, striking out four and walking two. Trevor Rosenthal picked up his fourth save in as many opportunities. He struck out Joey Votto with two on to end the game. Homer Bailey (0-1) surrendered five runs and nine hits over 5 2-3 innings. He made his first start after beginning the season on the disabled list while recovering from surgery on a torn flexor tendon. “Early on, I felt I made some pretty good pitches that got hit,” Bailey said. “They put some pretty good swings on them. But it does feel good to get back out there.” Martinez picked up his first win of the season and need just 86 pitches. He retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced. “I tried to limit my pitches so I could last longer,” Martinez said. “It worked.” Carpenter, who has six successive multihit games, improved to 17 for 29 (.586) lifetime against Bailey. His two-run double in the sixth pushed the lead to 5-1 and chased Bailey. Matt Adams put St. Louis in front with an RBI single in the first. He drove in Matt Holliday, who doubled with two out. Holliday left the game after scoring with stiffness in his back. Holliday, who has hit safely in all 10 games this season, is day-to-day. Yadier Molina made it 3-0 with a run-scoring double in the fourth. Molina has eight hits in his last 15 at-bats. Cozart, who had three hits, pushed his hitting streak to seven games. “We kept coming at them, we hit some balls hard,” Price said. “But we weren’t able to string together the big inning that we needed.” Jhonny Peralta of the Cardinals had a nine-game hitting streak snapped. hit a grand slam, Adam LaRoche added a three-run homer and four RBIs and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers. Chicago, which set a season high for runs, scored 11 runs in the third and fourth innings combined and collected a season-high 17 hits for the game. Abreu and LaRoche had three hits apiece, and Melky Cabrera matched a career high with four hits and knocked in two runs. J.D. Martinez homered for Detroit, which lost for the second time in 11 games this season. Chris Sale (2-0) cruised to the win, allowing two runs on four hits in six innings. Anibal Sanchez (1-2) gave up nine runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings. INDIANS 4, TWINS 2 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Danny Salazar matched his career high with 10 strikeouts while pitching into the seventh inning of his season debut, leading the Cleveland Indians over Minnesota. Roberto Perez had a home run among his three hits for the Indians, and Jason Kipnis stopped an 0-for-16 slide with a two-out, RBI single in the seventh that prompted the Twins to pull starter Phil Hughes (0-3). Salazar (1-0) gave up two runs and six hits. Cody Allen pitched a hitless ninth for his third save in as many attempts. ORIOLES 4, RED SOX 1 BOSTON (AP) — Chris Davis hit a two-run homer, Chris Tillman rebounded from a rough start and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 Saturday. Adam Jones had three singles for the Orioles, who moved back over .500 at 6-5. David Ortiz went 3 for 3 with a double and two singles for the Red Sox, who lost for the third time in their last nine games. Brock Holt had three singles. Tillman (2-1) gave up one run and six hits in 5 1-3 innings, a turnaround from when he allowed seven runs in 2 2-3 innings in Sunday’s 10-7 loss to Toronto. Three Orioles pitchers combined for one-hit relief. Zach Britton threw a perfect ninth for his fourth save. Clay Buchholz (1-2) allowed two runs and 11 hits in six innings and is winless since beating Cole Hamels in Philadelphia on opening day. PHILLIES 5, NATIONALS 3 WASHINGTON (AP) — Odubel Herrera had three hits and scored twice, Aaron Harang pitched six innings and the Philadelphia Phillies snapped a six-game losing streak, beating Washington. Freddy Galvis had two RBI singles for Philadelphia, which had scored 13 runs over its last six games. Bryce Harper hit a long home run for Washington, which had won three straight. Ian Desmond added three hits, but the shortstop continued to struggle in the field, making his eighth error. Harang (2-1) gave up three runs and seven hits. Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his third save. Jordan Zimmermann (1-2) allowed two earned runs and four hits over 6 1-3 innings.

Several of the Cleveland and Bradley County community’s prized young people have told this story before. Two who quickly come to mind are Maria Hernandez and Meeri Shin, each of whom won state and regional titles as Youth of the Year representing their beloved BGCC. Most will remember young Maria who became a walking advocacy for opportunity but most of all for courage. In Youth of the Year, she went as far as the national competition where she finished as runner-up. Thanks in part to the footprints, and to the legacies, left by Maria and by Meeri, another young star is born who has represented our hometown in marvelous fashion. She is Gaby Ortiz, a Bradley Central High School senior who earlier was selected as Youth of the Year for the local organization, and who then represented her local BGCC in the state competition in Nashville. There, she finished as second runner-up. Some might mistakenly consider the young BCHS teen as being lost in the shadows of prior success stories like Maria and Meeri whose levels of achievement carried them further in the annual competition than other locals from prior years. But this is not the case, nor should it ever be considered as such. Like Maria and Meeri, young Gaby Ortiz is a remarkable young woman. She will enroll at Lee University and more than likely take up the cause of education. That’s because she wants to give back in a way that the kindness of others has given to her. The Youth of the Year competition is far more than winning this award or earning that recognition. It is about learning. It is about growing. It is about representing. It is about scholarships. It is about education and understanding its value in life. It is about embracing the ideals of being young and of overcoming the sometimes hidden obstacles of youth. Like Maria and like Meeri, young Gaby has overcome much. She still is. But today, she is a shining portrait of potential, and she is the epitome of the kind of difference that can be made in the life of a teen who is wrapped in the bosom of an outreach like that offered by the Boys & Girls Clubs. Here’s an example of that impact. It was eloquently written in the lead of a front-page story published by our newspaper in the edition dated April 2, 2015. In that opening paragraph composed by long-time journalist Larry Bowers — whose popular “Looking Back” columns are reminders of what it was like to be young — he wrote of young Gaby: “Cleveland’s Gaby Ortiz did not bring home the Tennessee Youth of the Year title this year, but she did gain newfound confidence, recognition and a huge check.” The recognition and certainly the check are nice, but it is the “newfound confidence” that we believe young people like Gaby and Maria and Meeri would agree are the truest reward to participating in Youth of the Year. We believe others would agree such as Embry Barks, a sophomore at Polk County High School, and Richard Burke, a senior at Cleveland High School, and Cierra Diaz, a freshman at Polk County High School. Embry, Richard and Cierra competed against Gaby in the local Youth of the Year competition. Each walked away a winner. As we said, it isn’t about points or trophies or prizes. Certainly, such awards are nice. Such kudos are appropriate for young models of excellence who seek only to be accepted and to be part of something far grander. But it is mostly about the experience. It is mostly about the challenge. It is mostly about the opportunity to stand before others and declare, “I am.” This year’s Tennessee Youth of the Year is James Bennett who represented the Murray County Boys & Girls Clubs of Columbia. The runner-up, who was just ahead of Gaby by the cards of the judges, was Alexondria McKinny who represented the Tennessee Valley Boys & Girls Clubs of Knoxville. Other state finalists were Queen McElrath, Middle Tennessee Boys & Girls Clubs of Nashville; Debria Tyler, Rutherford County Boys & Girls Clubs; and Whitney Andies of Elizabethton Boys & Girls Clubs. Only one emerged as Tennessee’s No. 1. But just by being there, and by having the courage to step into the spotlight of scrutiny, should make each of these wonderful young people a winner. In our heart, and we know in the hearts of their respective organizations, their communities and their families, all are No. 1. This is as it should be. This is, we hope and pray, as it always will be. Young women like Gaby Ortiz will do well in life as long as they have the love, the support and the encouragement of others ... others like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland. Thanks to the local organization, and to leaders like Charlie Sutton and his staff who are known for going the extra mile in the lives of their young stewards, teenagers like Gaby will get the fair opportunity that life owes them. It isn’t just about surviving today. It is about reaching for dreams tomorrow. None can say it better than Gaby herself. Of the influence of the Boys & Girls Clubs on her life, she offered, “It was an escape from reality. I was no longer alone in the world. Since then, I’m not a victim. I’m a survivor.” She added, “I want to bring hope, as it was brought to me. I have a passion for children. I want to teach elementary children.” Experience is truly the best teacher. Gaby’s troubled home life in her younger years, and her welcomed inclusion in her new home at the Boys & Girls Clubs, served only to make her stronger as a young woman. We believe Gaby has the makings to be a great teacher. And certainly, she has the potential to be a model of excellence — not because she’s any better than anybody else, but because she has walked the walk of life. And she has learned its lessons. We credit Gaby’s opportunity at success to the Boys & Girls Clubs. We credit Gaby’s willingness to rise above the storm to Gaby. Congratulations to this young rising star, and a sincere thank you to the organization that launched her dreams. As long as there are young people like Gaby, and as long as supporters like the Boys & Girls Clubs stand in the wings, life will be good. And we will have them to thank. www.clevelandbanner.com Nuclear deal with Iran a tough one But, loopholes could test some of the restrictions VIENNA (AP) — In selling the Iran nuclear deal to Congress and other skeptics, President Barack Obama said it is built on “unprecedented verification,” telling his radio audience: “If Iran cheats, the world will know it.” Only time will tell if Obama is right. While Iran could try to push back or cover up, it certainly has little incentive for deceit. Its negotiators returned home to jubilant crowds hailing the prospect of an end to the crippling economic sanctions that forced Iran to the negotiating table in the first place. Even the chief of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard joined in praising their efforts. Tehran thus is unlikely to risk the prospect of having the sanctions re-imposed — the penalty for cheating. More likely, Iran will push for every loophole any agreement provides but honor it, and wait out the strict restrictions any deal will impose. Still, hoping that Iran will toe the line isn’t enough. Distrust about its intentions will persist long after the fleeting good vibes generated around the negotiating table by last week’s preliminary deal. It was designed to at least temporarily cap such potential Iranian bomb-making nuclear activities. That has left the United States and its negotiating partners seeking tight controls against potential Iranian deceit. The commitments Tehran has signed on to certainly go further than ever before to ensure that if it does try to clandestinely circumvent restrictions on its nuclear program, it will not get away with it. Iran can afford to bide its time — it resisted efforts to demolish its nuclear infrastructure, leaving it intact. That allows it to quickly expand to dimensions dwarfing its present capacities once constraints are lifted, starting 10 years after any accord takes hold. Obama acknowledged as much, telling AP NEWS ANALYSIS NPR News that Iran could have the capacities to build a nuclear bomb within roughly 13 years of the emerging nuclear deal. As negotiators try to turn a sketchy understanding into a comprehensive deal by June 30, Tehran’s nuclear history cannot be ignored. Iranian atomic activities that the U.S. and its five negotiating partners are now trying to restrict were born of secrecy. Iran has repeatedly played for time since they were revealed, blocking probes while drawing out negotiations meant to curb the programs — and using the weeks, months or years won to expand nuclear activities instead. That means that Iran again could turn to delaying tactics to blunt sleuthing attempts by the U.N’s International Atomic Energy Agency — even though on paper at least, Iran appears to have little wiggle room. The IAEA already has a presence in Iran. Yet it has been allowed to monitor only Iran’s declared nuclear programs under agreements linked to Tehran’s ratification of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. That is to change under any June deal. Iran left the negotiating table in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday with a commitment to implement the Additional Protocol, IAEA’s most potent monitoring instrument. In effect in nearly 150 countries, that agreement is meant to allow IAEA experts nearly unfettered access — normally within a day or two — to any site within those nations that the agency suspects may be used for secret nuclear work. For Washington, lessons learned from Iran’s nuclear past made such an agreement indispensable as part of any deal. And although Tehran denies past, present or future interest in the bomb, the IAEA believes it may have worked secretly on nuclear arms — suspicions shared by the United States and other countries. Iran’s willingness to hew to terms imposed by the Additional Protocol is by no means a given. While accepting an Additional Protocol between 2003 and 2006, Iran often balked at the kind of intrusive inspections the agreement was supposed to guarantee. The U.S. State Department says Tehran only “implemented it provisionally and selectively.” Washington hopes to avoid a repeat through a “dispute resolution process” that it could turn to if it wants a special inspection of any site at any time. If cheating by Iran is revealed, the preliminary deal allows a “snap-back” of sanctions that were previously eased to reward Tehran for good behavior. But Iran may push back on any dispute. And that could give it plenty of potential cover-up time. Whether it’s IAEA’s 35-nation board or a specially created U.N. panel, any arbiter is bound to be composed of multiple countries, including some with more sympathy for Iran than harbored by the United States and its Western allies. That means that consultations leading to any ruling that special inspections are necessary could take, days, weeks, even months — with Tehran fighting it all the way. And while U.S. intelligence agencies will be on sharpened lookout for cheating, they’re not infallible. The intelligence community was wrong in assessing that Iraq had significant weapons of mass destruction. As well, a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate concluding that Iran apparently halted nuclear weapons work in 2003 has since been contradicted by the IAEA, as well as U.S. allies including Britain and Germany. All say Tehran may have continued such activities past that date. ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I have been married to “Tom” for 30 years, and we’ve raised two successful children. Tom is a nice guy, but he is a binge drinker and has been all the years I have known him. I didn’t recognize this as alcoholism until 10 years ago. Tom has been in therapy ever since. It has increased his awareness, but hasn’t stopped the bingeing. It seems to happen several times a year at social events. He drinks so much that he blacks out, falls, vomits on himself, displays other inappropriate behavior and suffers countless humiliations. As always, Tom is shocked when I tell him what he did the night before and promises never to drink again. Slowly things get better, I forgive him, and then it happens again. This also happens when he goes away with his friends, but I don’t know the details, so there is a trust issue, as well. I have been going to AlAnon for years and am taking great care of myself. But I do feel sad sometimes. Now that the children are grown, I could leave him, but the vows “through sickness and health” stop me. And, of course, many people would be upset, including our kids. Any advice? — T. Dear T.: Worry less about what others will think and more about what you can live with. Is Tom a good candidate for medication to curtail his drinking? Would he be willing to do it? Talk to his doctor. Would it make a bigger impression if you videotaped him when he’s drunk so he could see for himself how he behaves? Do it. Would he cooper- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dietary group matches 2010 UN report To The Editor: Just in time for the 45th anniversary of Earth Day this Wednesday, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has made it official: consumption of animal products is not environmentally sustainable. Their conclusions match those of a massive 2010 United Nations report, which concluded that a global shift toward a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and climate change. Carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, is emitted by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to operate farm machinery, trucks, refrigeration equipment, factory farms and slaughterhouses. The much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are released from the digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools. Moreover, animal agriculture contributes more pollutants to our waterways than other human activities combined. Principal sources are animal wastes, soil particles, minerals, crop debris, fertilizers and pesticides from feed croplands. It is also the driving force in worldwide deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction. In an environmentally sustainable world, just as fossil fuels are replaced by wind, solar and other sustainable energy sources, animal foods must be replaced by vegetables, fruits and grains.

A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.” — Richard Bach American writer (b. June 23, 1937) Author, “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” ——— Last week I learned of the apparent death of a friend and schoolmate from my years at Collierville High School. She died in 1984. I wasn’t made aware of her passing until 31 years later. Her name was Johnnie. I won’t give her last name because I use the word “apparent” with purpose. It might or might not have been her. My information came from one of those online classmates websites. Like Facebook, Twitter and who knows how many others, its intent is to make the world a smaller place. In this case, it did. It also made mine a sadder place. The information seemed accurate, and it appeared to be far more than coincidence. I didn’t research it indepth because I didn’t want to register with half-a-dozen unfamiliar Internet sites. But I did learn this much ... The name was the same. The high school was the same. The place of residence was almost the same: Memphis, the metropolitan Bluff City only about 20 miles away from our little Collierville hometown back in the late 1960s and early ’70s when I — and when Johnnie — lived there. We weren’t classmates, just schoolmates. I was a senior. Johnnie was a junior. I was the student athletic trainer for the football and basketball teams during my junior and senior years. Johnnie was a cheerleader her junior year. I cannot speak for her days as a senior for I had left home in September 1973 to enroll at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Johnnie would have graduated the following May. I always thought Johnnie was as cute as a kitten. But back in those early ’70s, it was taboo to speak of such, much less think it. In those sometimes tumultuous days of the 20th century, it was frowned upon for a white teenaged boy in high school to consider a black teenaged girl pretty; I suppose the reverse was just “Hey,” I said. For a teenage boy who was shy, white and Southern, that was the equivalent of, “Hello.” “Hey,” she replied. Her voice seemed strained, slightly raspy, but otherwise velvet soft and oddly enough Southern. Mine was, well, mine was just plain ... with a pronounced Tennessee twang. “You’re ... Johnnie, right?” I asked. She smiled again. “Yes ... and you’re, Ricky?” I nodded, now all-too flattered. My chest probably puffed. She added, “... But some of the boys on the football and basketball teams call you ‘Doc’ and ‘Professor.’ They call you ‘Doc’ because you’re the trainer. They call you ‘Professor’ because you’re in the Honor Society.” “... Yeah, but I think it’s mostly because of these glasses,” I chuckled, fumbling the heavy black rims with thumb and forefinger. Frustrations with my geeky eyeglasses dated back to sixth grade. “So how’d you know all that ... I mean, the ‘Doc’ and ‘Professor’ stuff?” I asked. “We’re not even in the same grade.” She laughed, “Well, I do talk to people ... and I listen.” Being a junior, she probably had been swapping tales with some of her own classmates in athletics for whom she cheered on weeknights: Rickey Jeans, the star tailback in football and forward on the basketball squad; or Morris, Roy, Otha Lee, Dave, John ... and the list went on and on of eleventh-grade friends I had made through sports. All were good guys. Most I had met through desegregation. “Nice to meet you ... officially, Johnnie,” I managed. Far from suave, even as an overconfident senior, I tried not to stare. She was just so pretty. “Nice to meet you, too,” she replied. On this day, if Collierville High School could have granted me one wish it would have been to spend the afternoon talking to Johnnie. But it wasn’t to be. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Owens — who were two of my favorite teachers, except for this day — called class into session and that ended the chat. “Gotta go,” I said before turning in my seat to face the front. “Bye,” she whispered, suppressing a giggle along the way. While swinging back around, I locked eyes with two lanky basketball buddies two rows over — Rodney and Eddie, whose ankles I had taped far too many INKSPOTS Rick Norton Assoc. Editor as true. This was late in the Civil Rights era: Court-ordered desegregation (known in the day as integration), student busing and school consolidations. Older schools, most of them predominately black, were being closed and the students sent to white schools. Collierville had been one of those lopsided, mostly white institutions, but our racial diversity began to even out by my sophomore year. The change had started in the ’60s, but by the early ’70s students were still struggling to come to terms with this new look of education ... and with each other. It wasn’t easy. Racial tensions flared on some days more than others. You never quite knew what to expect on any given morning. But this I still believe. The kids adapted better than the parents and the community. When it came to tolerance, the young folks became the teachers; the parents were the students. Looking back on life 42 years ago, I can barely recall the first time I met Johnnie. It may, or may not have been, in a class called American Studies which then was a hybrid between literature and history, and the classroom mix included both juniors and seniors. It was a textbook experiment to gauge the effectiveness of dual academics and merging students from two grade levels into the same classroom. Johnnie and I were part of the experiment, not like lab rats ... just more like advancing the cause of secondary education. One day early in the school season, Johnnie sat in the desk directly behind me. I turned to see who had taken the seat. Or, maybe I already knew. Her eyes were the first thing I saw — big and brown. Her smile was the second — broad and warmer than the morning sun. Yet, she was timid. That made two of us. I had seen her before ... out in the hallways between classes, in the cafeteria, on the sidelines at the games. But this time it was up-close and it was personal. She met my gaze, perhaps a little startled at my actions, and she blinked. times. Both were my teammates and off-court friends. Both I met because their schools had been closed. And on this day, both were wearing grins as wide as the moon. Realizing they had watched the entire conversation, I probably mouthed “What?” in their direction, my hands open in perceived innocence. It was just as well that class started. I was running out of things to say to Johnnie; yet, I had a thousand questions. Over time, most went unasked and equally unanswered. And it remained that way. With her being a junior and me a senior, our paths didn’t often cross. We always talked a little before the start of American Studies, but that darn school bell was forever getting in the way. Now over four decades later, life’s much easier. Surprises are few and expectations are fewer. We’re no longer hormone-driven teens and we don’t stumble over our words in the face of those who are different; or at least, different from us. Diversity is the norm and people are the friends we’ve made and the strangers we’ve never met. Johnnie was one such person. Johnnie was one such friend. But I wish I had known her better. When I saw that website text, “Died 1984,” I honestly thought I was going to cry. And I can’t explain why. Johnnie and I were friends, but not what you’d call especially close. Johnnie and I were schoolmates, but not social buddies who shared a meal or enjoyed a movie together. Johnnie and I were two peas in a giant pod of racial interaction, one that was forced yet one far too long in its coming. The other day, I pulled out the old 1973 Collierville High “Pathfinder,” wiped off the dust and turned to the junior class. There she was. I then turned to the cheerleader squad picture, and there she was again decked out in Dragon maroon, white socks and those funny two-toned shoes. And she wore the same smile as that early day in American Studies. I called Johnnie my friend, yet ... I never knew her best subject in school. I never knew her ambitions beyond education. I never knew her favorite color. I never knew her parents’ names. I never knew her brothers and sisters.

April 19, 1923 Children of the Confederacy The Summer Cunningham Chapter of Children of the Confederacy selected William Hall Rodgers as an honorary member of the chapter, and notified him of the honored appointment. That chapter was one of the youngest, yet one of the strongest of the Tennessee Division. William was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Will D. Rodgers. He was the grandson of Andrew M. Rodgers, who was a Confederate veteran, and George T. Hall. Both men died at that time. The boy was also the great-grandson of John Montgomery Hardwick and George Tucker. Friends congratulated him on his appointment. ——— Special Bible program The Berean Bible Class of the First Baptist Church had a special program Sunday morning. The class quartet opened the program with a special number, "He Included Me." A lesson taught by professor. W.K. Main followed. Then David North Jr., the talented young son of Cleveland's well-known jeweler, and assisted by Miss Grace Lambdin at the piano, rendered a selection on the violin. The Berean quartet then gave a closing number, "Memories of Gallilee." ——— April 20, 1923 Deserter brought back John Farris was brought back from Chattanooga on April 19, 1923, in the evening to answer the charge of deserting his two motherless children. His trial was held on April 21, 1923, before Judge W.L. Humphrey. Deputy Will Evans went after him, and was accompanied by Steve Plank, the grandfather of the two children he was charged with deserting. According to the story told by the I never knew her opinion about our school. I never knew her hobbies. I never knew her plans for college. I never knew her interests in guys. I never knew her circle of friends. I never knew her beliefs about church, God or religion. I never knew her preferences in fashion, hairstyle or make-up. I never knew her choices in music. I never knew her feelings about the feelings of others. I never knew her feelings about me. I called Johnnie my friend, but there was so little of Johnnie that I knew. But that was my fault. I had bowed to tradition. I had conformed with the social norm. In school, there was too little time. In society, there was too little patience for those who dared to be different. I don’t remember the last time I saw Johnnie or heard her voice. I don’t think I even saw her on the night of my graduation. But I know this. If the Johnnie on that website is the Johnnie of my past, then Heaven welcomed a new angel on a heartbreaking day in ’84. Life’s odd. As teenagers of the ’70s, we came to grips with the color of another’s skin. It wasn’t always simple. It wasn’t always pure. But when we looked deeply — and thankfully many did — we found hearts that were just as open, just as warm and just as willing to reach out instead of pulling back. Today, when I see news accounts of racial hatred ... shootings and fighting and bigotry ... I am angered. The kids of those early ’70s deserve better than this. Their sacrifices gave birth to America’s modern-day melting pot. They weren’t perfect. But then again, they were the children of an imperfect age. They did the best with what they were given. They gave when they just as easily could have taken. It is a lesson best learned, and most needed, by those of the 21st century. I miss Johnnie. Her skin was dark as the night and her heart was pure as gold. If by God’s grace we ever meet again, I will say, “Hey.” And I will ask, “You’re ... Johnnie, right?” ——— (About the writer: Rick Norton is an associate editor at the Cleveland Daily Banner.

He denied them, and was knocked down by the enraged grandparent. Farris carried a black eye that was said to be the result of the encounter. Plank claimed that Farris had deserted the children about a year before. ——— Women's Club meets The first meeting of the Literary department of the Women's Club met on April 20, 1923, at the home of Mrs. John W. Taylor. The subject for that afternoon was "Old Nature Writers John Burrough, John Muir and Henry Thoreau.” The discussion was led by Mesdames R.D. Baldwin, W.C. Nevin and Miss Jessie Gaut. ——— Warning to taxpayers Trustee Walter Kile issued final notices to delinquent taxpayers.

Dear Annie: You printed a lot of responses about people whose nickname is “Dick.” But how does one get that out of Richard? — K. in Hot Springs, Ark. Dear K.: It is human nature to shorten names, both when speaking and when writing. Shortened versions of Richard have been common for centuries, likely starting with “Rick” or “Rich,” which then produced nicknames of their own, such as “Richie.” In England, where Richard has been a familiar moniker since the Norman Conquest, people liked to rhyme names, which is probably how “Rick” became “Dick.” (Apparently, there used to be another rhyming nickname, “Hick,” which has since dropped from its early popularity in the 13th century.) Here’s a little additional information for you: Richard derives from the old German and means “brave power” or “brave ruler,” which could explain why England had three kings named Richard, the last of whom was recently given a royal burial in Leicester Cathedral after his remains were discovered underneath a municipal parking lot. ——— (About the writers: Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

In 1975, India launched its first satellite atop a Soviet rocket. In 1989, 47 sailors were killed when a gun turret exploded aboard the USS Iowa in the Caribbean. (The Navy initially suspected that a dead crew mem- ber had deliberately sparked the blast, but later said there was no proof of that.) In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; dozens of people, including sect leader David Koresh, were killed. In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh was later convicted of federal murder charges and executed.) Ten years ago: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected pope in the first conclave of the new millennium; he took the name Benedict XVI.

Fortunately, we now have many ways to prevent our pets from suffering from serious diseases, such as Lyme disease, which deer ticks can cause. and also the itching misery that fleas can cause along with the anemia that comes with blood loss due to flea bites. Numerous effective insect preventives are now available from veterinarians which are highly effective in keeping pets free of ticks, fleas and other insect parasites. On the advice of an expert, I also now spray the insect repellant, “Off!” on my shoes and clothes, which keeps me free of ticks and mosquitos when I am walking with my dogs or enjoying the outdoors in other ways, since ticks can also cause dreaded Lyme disease in humans as well as pets. A friend of mine is now aiming her sights on increasing preventive measures after she said she had to remove ticks from her legs on four different occasions in the past two weeks. She was wondering whether this is going to be “a bad year with an abundance of ticks, even in our well-kept yards.” As Dr. Sally Poston of Animal Medical Center urges in her monthly newsletter, prompt removal of a tick is vital to decrease chances of tick-borne disease being transmitted to a pet or person. “Regularly inspect your pet for ticks, especially after being in wooded or tall grassy areas. If a tick is found, use tweezers to carefully pull up on the head until it detaches. Wipe areas with alcohol and wash hands and the tweezers. Then place the tick in a sealed plastic bag and label the bag with the date in case it is needed for evaluation if your pet becomes ill.” She strongly advises using vet-recommended flea and tick preventives on pets, “even though they are always indoors. Fleas can hitch a ride on humans to get to their desired meal — our pets!” While many flea and tick preventives are sold in stores, she urges getting our preventive from a veterinarian because “these often work better than storebought brands.” Then, consult your veterinarian “about the right preventive for your pet.” Lyme disease is now regarded as the most common tick-borne illness in the United States, according to experts. It was first recognized in 1975, “following an outbreak of what appeared to be acute arthritis in several rural counties in Connecticut.” Signs that a pet is infected with Lyme disease may appear within days, “or not show up for weeks or even months. Some signs that a pet is infected may be the appearance of walking in a different manner, which then can develop, into paralysis of limbs. Other symptoms may be ChIChI, a 3-year-old female Chihuahua, came to the SPCA last week as an owner surrender. She was adopted five days later into her new forever home by Kim Cates, Chrystal Buckner, and Lindsey Bounds. The SPCA staff reports they are beginning to receive several puppies and kittens during this birthing season. If you are interested in adopting a young puppy or kitten, please check with the SPCA during normal operating hours for availability. The SPCA Shelter's operating hours are: Mondays, 3 to 5 p.m., for adoptions only, and Tuesday through Saturday 1 to 5 p.m., for adoptions and surrenders.

RalPhIE, a 6-week-old miniature pinscher/Rottweiler mix, was abandoned to fend for himself. Good fortune smiled on Ralphie when a Good Samaritan rescued him during a thunderstorm and brought him to the SPCA of Bradley County shelter. Good fortune smiled on him again the next day when he was adopted by Raymond Hagler. MCCloUD, a 3-year-old dachshund mix, was first brought to the SPCA in June 2014 as a stray. He was adopted 16 days later. However, his adoption did not work out and he was returned to the SPCA recently. The good news is the very next day, McCloud found a new home with Austin Coons. McCloud seems to be one lucky dog. KaThRINE MUsTaVa went to the Cleveland Animal Shelter when she decided the time was right to adopt a new four-legged family member. When she met this sweet male beagle-mix and spent time with him in a meet-and-greet room at the shelter, she felt he just might be "the right one." swollen lymph nodes, fever, lethargy, joint pain and appetite loss.” If a pet does not receive veterinary treatment, Lyme disease can cause major harm to the heart, lungs, liver and other organs. The good news is we can now prevent our pets from getting this terrible disease. If your pet is not on a heartworm preventive, head to your veterinarian right away for a heartworm test for the pet. Then breathe a sign of relief if he/she is free of heartworms. If not, several months of veterinary treatments will be required in the hope of restoring the pet's good health. As that old saying goes, “Prevention is easier than cure.” Let's spread the word!

New England Aquarium experts hope for a penguin romance BOSTON (AP) — The New England Aquarium hopes its endangered African penguins get a little steamy this spring. Aquarium experts are playing matchmaker behind the scenes to encourage eight pairs of African penguins to breed more chicks. Biologists say that will help a population that’s expected to be extinct in the wild by 2025 to continue to thrive in captivity. The Boston facility is giving its penguins “honeymoon suites” — cozy plastic igloo-style homes and other private nooks off the main exhibit designed to get them in the mood. Over the past 15 years, the aquarium has sent 28 birds to seven different zoos and aquariums around North America. World Penguin Day is April 25. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015—25 Strongman Lee From Page 17 From Page 17 over a 52-inch bar. Those in the heavyweight class had 250 pounds for the clean and press, 275 pounds in each hand for the farmer’s carry and an 800-pound tire to flip. They lifted a 280-pound stone over the 52-inch bar and in the deadlift medley, began with a 575-pound trapbar, then went to a 475 fatbar and 395-pound standard bar. Thirty-year-old Cleveland local Jonathan Kist was one of seven competing in the middleweight masters. Kist came into the True Grit Strongman Challenge with no background in the sport. “I found out about this on Wednesday and figured it was something that I would like to try,” Kist explained. “I came and picked this stuff up for the first time (on Saturday) and it was awesome. The most fun event was the deadlift. The clean and press was the hardest — I had never done that before in my life, but I got one rep so I was happy.” Kist finished fifth overall in his weight class. Competing in his first ever Strongman competition was 18year-old Tim Barrett out of Unionville, Tenn., who is also a preacher. Barrett was the lone teen participating in the event. “I think it was a success. I believe that the Lord led me here and I plan on from here on out, furthering my strength, continuing to preach and doing feats of strength to show the power and abilities that God can give you,” Barrett commented. “I trained within a 8-10 week window. It was really enjoyable and was a great, memorable experience. I plan on showing up again in the future really soon.” Heavyweight competitor Shawn Ustunel, whose towering 6-foot-8 presence commanded the crowd’s attention, travelled from San Antonio to compete in his eighth Strongman event. “I wanted to travel a little bit and had never travelled this far (for a competition) before. I wanted to see how it felt after a long day of travel to do a competition that is this hard — that was one of my challenges to myself actually,” Ustunel explained. “It went pretty good. It was a very smoothly ran competition and I beat my own personal records, which is all that matters to me.” Ustunel finished first in his division, which included two others. Out of the 28 competitors, four of those were women. Of those four, only one competed outside of the novice group. Professional powerlifter and Cleveland local Samantha Coleman decided to branch out try something a little different. “I found out that they were doing this competition about three or four months ago. I started messing around with the tires and flipped the 700 pound one,” Coleman explained. “This was a really fun atmosphere and everyone was really supportive.” The 35-year-old was in the women’s super heavyweight class. In the clean and press she got one rep at 185 pound and went through the deadlift medley with a 315 pound trapbar, 250 pound fatbar and did 28 reps with the 225 pound standard bar. Coleman flipped the 700 pound tire and got the 240 pound stone over the bar eight times. The only struggle for the powerlifter came in the farmer’s carry, where she had 225 pounds in each hand. “The farmers carry was definitely the hardest event for me. My grip was gone by the time I got to it,” she explained. In the men’s middleweight masters, Bob Schwantz finished first, while Pierre Suter and Greg Fields came in second and third respectively. Brian Chia finished first in the lightweight masters, Chris Sullivan finished second and Seth Hunter came in third. These six individuals, along with Ustunel, have qualified for the 2015 USS Nationals, which will be in Indianapolis on June 27. ing up their first man-advantage 61 seconds into the game. Wilson, who scored two goals Wednesday night, roofed a wrister over Crawford’s shoulder for the power-play goal. Chicago managed only one shot midway through the first, but managed to tie it at 1 when Sharp lifted the puck over a sprawling Rinne at 16:13. But Josi scored on a wrister with 3.6 seconds left in the period for a 2-1 lead. On the ensuing faceoff, the teams scrapped, with roughing penalties handed out to Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell of Chicago and Paul Gaustad and Taylor Beck of Nashville. Gaustad hadn’t been out of the box long when he drew a double-minor for high-sticking Michal Rozsival, catching the Chicago defenseman with his stick after pushing him away. Gaustad is one of Nashville’s big penalty killers, and he got help from Rinne getting just enough of Sharp’s slap shot late to deflect it off the crossbar. Replay showed six Blackhawks on the ice during a line change when Kane managed to get the puck alone and tie it with his wrister from the left circle slipping under Rinne’s glove midway through the period. Laviolette yelled at officials over the missed call and said it was a big moment in the game. Then, Weber apparently got hurt when he was checked at the boards by Chicago forward Brandon Saad, knocking the 6foot-4 defenseman to the ice. Weber went to the bench and went straight to the locker room favoring his right leg. The Predators had no update on his status after the game. Preds From Page 17 see another packed arena in Nashville with Predators fans keeping the Chicago faithful way outnumbered. The Predators felt like they only needed to make a few tweaks to their game after outshooting and outhitting Chicago in Game 1. They jumped on the Blackhawks from the start, pick- Braves From Page 17 the season, particularly after losing three of four in the opening series at home against Tampa Bay, Toronto manager John Gibbons felt this kind of win was coming. “We’ve had some opportunities this year at home to maybe make a run late, walk-off type thing,” he said. “We’ve been in a position to do it, but just couldn’t come through with it. So we definitely needed that.” Donaldson connected on the second pitch from rookie Sugar Ray Marimon (0-1), handing Atlanta its first road loss of the season. Brett Cecil (1-1) picked up the win after working a scoreless 10th. Down 4-0 in the seventh inning after home runs by Freddie Freeman and A.J. Pierzynski, the Blue Jays rallied against Alex Wood. Bautista belted a two-run shot off Jim Johnson in the eighth, giving Toronto a 5-4 lead, but Kelly Johnson hit a leadoff drive in the ninth for Atlanta. R.A. Dickey, who is still waiting for his first win of the season after three starts, struggled with his control at times and was pulled after the seventh inning. The knuckleballer was charged with four runs and four hits with four walks. Braves RHP Shelby Miller (1-0) faces Daniel Norris (1-0) today. In his second career start in Toronto, Miller will be hoping to replicate last year’s success, when he tossed a three-hit shutout as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Joe’s return: Brooklyn’s Joe Johnson was a perennial All-Star when he played with the Hawks from 2005-12. Now, he faces his former team. While Johnson would no doubt like to end Atlanta’s amazing season, he insisted it’s not doing to be a solo effort. Johnson will surely hear some extra boos when he’s in Atlanta, where he was always viewed as a guy who never quite fulfilled his potential by becoming one of the NBA’s elite players. The trade that sent him to the Nets is considered the key move in the overhauling of the Hawks’ roster. No Thabo: The Hawks lost a valuable player off the bench when Thabo Sefolosha sustained a season-ending injury, which he claims was caused by New York City police during a much-debated arrest with a week to go in the regular season. The 6-foot-7 Sefolosha was the main backup to small forward DeMarre Carroll, providing another top defender on the perimeter. Kent Bazemore will step up to fill Sefolosha’s role, but he’s 2 inches shorter and may have trouble guarding bigger forwards. Sefolosha’s absence could really prove to be an issue if the Hawks wind up facing LeBron James and the second-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the conference finals. From Page 20 was even better over the final 16 games, averaging 23.2 points. The Hawks don’t have anyone to match up to Lopez physically, so they’ll try to beat the Nets with speed, quickness and lots of running. Brooklyn, on the other hand, would prefer a game that’s played primarily in the halfcourt. Millsap’s shoulder: Atlanta’s All-Star forward, Paul Millsap, will be wearing a protective pad on his right shoulder after missing five games with a sprain. Millsap was able to return for the season finale, playing 27 minutes, but concedes the shoulder is still a bit tender. “Anybody coming off an injury, they kind of favor their injury. They don’t want it to get hit,” Millsap said. “I’m going to try not to think Red Wings From Page 19 Despite the loss, the Red Wings return home feeling fortunate the series is tied one game apiece. They did not play particularly well in the opener, but coach Mike Babcock felt the team elevated its play Saturday. “I thought we were way better, for sure. You look up and you’re down 4-1, and you think you’ve done a lot of good things,” Babcock said. “But you can’t make big mistakes. It just goes to show you, you’ve got to keep it out of your net first and score second.” Mrazek was superb in his playoff debut with 44 saves in the opener, but couldn’t replicate that success, stopping just 14 of 18 shots in the first two periods. The Red Wings said it wasn’t the 23-year-old’s fault. “I think Pete played pretty good. We gave up some slam dunks to them,” Babcock said. “You’ve got to give your goalie a chance. You can’t make those defensive mistakes and then think your goalie’s going to make those saves. If you give him a chance to battle, he’ll bat- THE MARKET IN REVIEW Dow Jones industrials 18,200 Close: 17,826.30 Change: -279.47 (-1.5%) 17,920 18,500 who also tacked on four big insurance runs in the fifth. “I might have pulled Hill a little too quickly in the second game,” noted Brew. “Since we were rained out on Friday, I thought we had plenty of help in the bullpen, but that didn’t work out. Also, Hill did not look comfortable on the mound after we had a brief rain shower in the third inning.” Down 10-0, the Flames did not score until the sixth inning of the seven-inning game.

Babcock said Mrazek will start Game 3. Coker delivers for Tide in Bama spring game TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Jake Coker threw a long touchdown pass and had an interception returned for a score in Alabama’s spring game. Coker was easily the most productive of the Crimson Tide quarterbacks on Saturday in his second bid to win the starting job after transferring from Florida State last summer. He led the White team featuring the first-team offense to a 27-14 win over the defense-led Crimson before 65,157 fans. Coker completed 14 of 28 passes for 183 yards, hitting ArDarius Stewart in the end zone for a 40yard touchdown. Coker is the only candidate to replace Blake Sims who has thrown a college pass. He had an interception returned 51 yards by Maurice Smith. David Cornwell passed for 110 yards but threw two of the quarterbacks’ six interceptions.

NE, Farmland Corner 476-4325 1053 Peerless Crossing 339-2885 26—Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015 www.clevelandbanner.com Legislators observe ‘Hardwick Clothes Inc. Day’ From Staff Reports Hardwick Clothes Inc. recently was honored with its own day on Capitol Hill, compliments of state Rep. Kevin Brooks, R-Cleveland who represents the 24th Legislative District. The occasion came last Wednesday when Brooks invited company representatives to Nashville where they were honored in the House of Representatives. By legislative resolution, April 15 was designated as “Hardwick Clothes Inc. Day” in Tennessee. “It is my honor to welcome America’s oldest tailored clothing manufacturer and Cleveland, Tennessee’s very own Hardwick Clothes to Nashville,” Brooks said from the House floor. “I am privileged to represent this esteemed organization, a 135year tradition of Made in Tennessee, USA. We proudly welcome the Hardwick leadership team to the State Capitol: Bruce Bellusci, CEO; Jim Park, Jake Cremer, Jabo Covert, Abby Jones and Will Jones.” Brooks added, "It’s a great honor to represent America's oldest tailored clothing manufacturer, but equally important, it is a tremendous honor to represent the hard-working, truly excellent men and women of Hardwick Clothes, who proudly sew 'Made in Tennessee, USA' into every garment made." House Joint Resolution 269, as sponsored by Brooks, was offered in support of the Cleveland manufacturer. Calling Hardwick Clothes “... a credit to this state,” the resolution described the company as an “... estimable organization that evinces the greatest integrity and probity in all its chosen endeavors.” Brooks’ resolution also provides a glimpse at Hardwick Clothes’ history. Excerpts include: —“... Originally called Cleveland Woolen Mills, [it] was founded in 1880 in Cleveland by C.L. Hardwick, John Craigmiles, John Parker, P.B. Mayfield, and Creed Bates”; —“... For the first half of the twentieth century, Hardwick Mills was one of the largest manufacturers of wool fabric and men’s clothing in the world”; —“... In the 1920s, Hardwick evolved into a vertical operation, weaving the wool yarn at one end of the factory and assembling garments at the other”; —“... In the 1940s, Hardwick Woolen Mills contributed to the war effort by manufacturing uni- forms for the military”; —“... In the 1950s, Hardwick Mills sold its woolen operations to focus on the men’s tailored clothing market and was rebranded as Hardwick Clothes, Inc.”; and —“... Hardwick once again modernized its operation in 1974, moving from its original Church Street factory to a new, 175,000-square-foot manufacturing plant on the outskirts of Cleveland. The expansive new facility and modernized manufacturing equipment helped Hardwick stay competitive against an increasing supply of cheap, offshore clothing.” The resolution also points out, “Hardwick’s reputation for American-made quality has helped the company survive in the face of outsourcing and costcutting, which led Hardwick to contract with a wide range of national clients, such as the U.S. military and Major League Baseball.” Also recognized in the legislative document is that in June 2014, the company “... was acquired by Allan Jones, a prominent Cleveland entrepreneur who committed to an increased investment in the company to help it regain its rightful status at the summit of the American clothing industry.” The resolution also points to the naming of the new Hardwick Clothes leadership team; and specifically to the hiring in July 2014 of Bruce Bellusci as CEO and president who became the ninth person to hold these positions in the company’s history.

Day.” Peevish or loaded for bear — Obama getting tough on critics WASHINGTON (AP) — Just as Congress is hitting something of a bipartisan stride on such issues as Medicare, Iran and trade, President Barack Obama and his White House team have decided to go after their Republican critics, picking fights and scornfully calling them out by name. In just the past week, the president and his spokesman have targeted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Sens. John McCain and Charles Grassley, on topics from climate change to the Iran nuclear deal. On Friday, he used a news conference to deliver to senators a testy lecture about the delayed confirmation of attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. This is a White House unleashed, forgoing niceties for the kind of blunt talk some of Obama’s allies have been demanding for some time. But the rhetoric carries risks of sounding peevish and signals that a president who once ran on the promise of changing the tone in Washington has fully embraced its political combat. Obama on Friday decried the long wait Lynch has faced since she was nominated in early November. “Enough. Enough!” he said, addressing Senate Republicans. “This is embarrassing, a process like this.” Last Saturday, Obama hit McCain especially hard, after his 2008 presidential rival declared a major setback in the Iran nuclear talks after Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, demanded that sanctions against Tehran had to be lifted immediately after a deal went into place. (The preliminary deal says the sanctions will be lifted as Iran proves it is complying with limits on its nuclear program.) Obama cast McCain’s criticism as an assault on the credibility of Secretary of State John Kerry. “That’s an indication of the degree to which partisanship “Being nice has gotten us a 160-day delay. So maybe after they look up ‘duplicitous’ in the dictionary we’ll get a different result.” — White House spokesman Josh Earnest has crossed all boundaries,” Obama said. “That’s a problem. It needs to stop.” He went on: “We have Mitch McConnell trying to tell the world, oh, don’t have confidence in the U.S. government’s abilities to fulfill any climate change pledge that we might make.” On Thursday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest singled out Grassley, declaring comments he made about the Lynch vote “duplicitous.” Asked how harsh words might help his cause, Earnest replied: “Being nice has gotten us a 160day delay. So maybe after they look up ‘duplicitous’ in the dictionary we’ll get a different result.” It was the kind of “ouch” moment seldom heard from the White House. Pat Griffin, who was legislative director in the Clinton administration, said the tone from the White House dovetails with the aggressive strategy Obama has set since his party lost control of the Senate in November and put Congress in Republican hands. “I think the president since the election has kept these guys on their heels,” Griffin said. Obama and his aides “have come to understand that you don’t get the attention of these guys and the attention of the country without having some edge.” Republicans maintain Obama would be better off working on bipartisan efforts, such as trade. Top lawmakers on Thursday revealed a bipartisan agreement to give Obama authority to nego- tiate trade deals without having to face delays in Congress. But many Democrats oppose such deals, fearing they will cost jobs or lower environmental standards. “Rather than spending so much time criticizing people like Chuck Grassley and myself, he ought to be out there lining up the Democratic votes for trade promotion authority,” McConnell said in an interview Friday. “This is a time for presidential leadership.” On the White House needling, “We’re used it,” said McConnell, who frequently jousts with Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. “We used to get it from the Democratic leader routinely.” As for Lynch, McConnell said, “The cheap shots at Sen. Grassley were particularly inappropriate.” Lynch’s confirmation has been delayed because McConnell has wanted to pass a sexual trafficking bill through the Senate first. That bill has been held up because of Democratic objections to anti-abortion language in the bill. McConnell predicted the dispute would be resolved next week, opening the way for a vote on Lynch. For many Democratic allies of the White House, Obama’s confrontational talk could have even come sooner. “If you’re sitting at the White House looking at Republicans on Capitol Hill, especially on the House side, you can’t expect either much respect from them or a willingness to get much done,” said Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist and former top aide to Reid. “Point two, as we move into the primary season, the base is looking for a more combative tone from the White House as well.” The last two years of a second term are especially liberating for presidents. They don’t face reelection and they don’t feel they have much to lose legislatively by going on the offensive. “It feels good to do that when you have been bottled up,” said Matt Bennett, a veteran of the Clinton White House. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015—27 Business SUNDAY Larry Bowers Business writer Phone 472-5041 or fax 614-6529 [email protected] Community Hospitals elevates Jim Coleman Special to the Banner PLANO, TEXAS – In response to a growing presence in the U.S. southeast region, Community Hospital Corporation (CHC) announces the addition of Jim Coleman as CHC senior vice president of Southeast Hospital Operations.

The boyhood home of former President Bill Clinton had two buffalo on the run Friday after authorities failed to round up all of an escaped herd. The herd of six escaped Thursday from a neighborhood farm, and two remained loose overnight. They were able to avoid sheriff’s deputies, officers and volunteers. One animal was hit by a car and three were tranquilized. They were left in a pasture to help attract the others. No human injuries were reported in the resort community. Enjoy fruits of your labors Dear Dave, My husband and I are 28 years old. We’re completely debt-free, and we each have great jobs. We don’t talk a lot about this kind of stuff, because we’ve found it causes other people to treat us differently. We realize how incredibly blessed we have been, so we always try to give God the credit, save, tithe and give regularly, and not brag about these things. How would you recommend handling a situation like ours? — Amanda Dear Amanda, When you start to win with money, build wealth and achieve some of your goals, you discover pretty quickly that there’s a very small group of people you can celebrate with. It sounds like you’ve discovered this already. A lot of times there are friends, and even family members, you can’t celebrate with because it comes off as bragging — even if you’re just happy you’ve reached a milestone. So, you learn to keep lots of stuff private and not even share the good things. Still, if you have a nice car or a beautiful home, these things can indicate that you’re successful. Even if they’re a small percentage of your financial world, it will sometimes generate feelings of jealousy or envy in other people. Jealousy is, “I want what you have.” Envy is, “I don’t think I can have what you do, so I don’t want you to have it either.” These are two really evil spirits, and they’re loose in our country today like never before. Part of the price of making smart decisions, and being wise Dave Says By Dave Ramsey with your money, is that some people don’t understand when you win and don’t think it’s fair. But the truth is that you guys have every right to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You’ve earned it. You’re generous, giving people, and you take care of your family so the rest of us don’t have to pay extra taxes to take care of them for you. That’s the truth about winning with money. You guys are under no obligation to explain your income, net worth or the fact that you’re winning. And you’re not obligated to be ashamed of it either! — Dave Pay it, but with caution Dear Dave, I got a department store credit card, using my real age at the time, when I was 17. I ran up a debt of $150, and the balance has grown to over $350. This was 10 or 12 years ago, but a debt collection agency started calling again the other day wanting the money. Hasn’t the statute of limitations run out by now? What should I do? — Elizabeth Dear Elizabeth, There is a statute of limitations, but there are a couple of other things to consider, too. First, the debt is not collectible because a minor alone cannot enter into a legally binding contract in any state. The second thing is they can screw up your credit report for a very long time, and it sounds like they’re in the process of doing that right now. Here’s my advice. Call them and explain that they are past the statute of limitations, and that you are considering suing them. After that, remind them that you were a minor when someone approved you for the card, which means the store you signed up with can be sued as well. However, since you did take stuff from the store, offer them the original $150 to settle the deal. Get it in writing that the account is settled in full by this amount, and don’t give them electronic access to your money. When you get the settlement offer in writing, keep a copy of the letter and a copy of the cashier’s check you’ll use as payment. Pay it because you owe it, Elizabeth. It’s a moral issue. And hopefully as a result you can get these kinds of people out of your life for good! — Dave (Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

Publix volunteers created care packages for returning military troops for Operation Stand Down; sorted food for Grace Works Ministries; created gardens for the Smyrna Boys and Girls Club and Impact Cleveland. Publix founder George Jenkins was a giving person and believed in supporting the community. The firm decided what better way to honor his legacy than to encourage others to give back as well. He was affectionately called, “Mr. George,” and once he was asked what he thought he would be worth if he hadn’t given so much away. He humbly responded “Probably nothing.” “Giving back is a part of the Publix culture and mission statement of being involved as responsible citizens in our communities,” said Brenda Reid, media and community relations manager for Publix’s Atlanta Division. On Friday, hundreds of Publix associates took to the streets to make a difference in their communities by volunteering to help organizations focused on youth, education, hunger and homelessness.

It is rare to run into a person who works on time machines, but that’s exactly what Harry Hysni of Cleveland specializes in. The craftsmanship he displays in repairing antique watches and clocks is becoming a lost art. Few, if any, have spent more than six decades mastering his techniques, but Albanian-born Hysni has invested the time and talent to be the best. Raised in Italy as a child during the rise of communism in Albania, Hysni and his family could see that it was time to leave their native country and start a new life. “When we left Albania we left it during communist times,” he said. “The communists were getting stronger and stronger, so we had to get out of there to save our skin. This was around 1941 right before the war started. It was time to leave. So we left. We went to Italy, which was a neutral country. It wasn’t involved with any wars. I was only 6 years old then. I went to Italian schools. My father opened a little business there. I would stay with Banner photos, WILLIAM WRIGHT him after school. I helped my HARRY HYSNI, a watchmaker and clock repairman with more than 60 years of experience is a meticulous craftsman with steady hands father a little bit. Of course, I had my mind to go outside and play, and an eye for perfection. The 80-year-old Albanian specializes in antique watches and clocks, using tiny balance staffs, screws and jewels but I was kind of interested in to repair or improve clocks and watches that keep running for decades. Below right, Hysni uses professional tweezers for precision while what he was doing.” working on instruments where low friction, long life and accuracy are important. Below left, Hysni stands beside a 100-year-old clock. That interest grew as Hysni and his family made a life in Italy before moving to New York. He even lived in Syria and Saudi Arabia for 10 years, during which times he continued to hone his skills as a mechanic. “It was a heaven there. It was peaceful, nice,” he recalled. “People respected each other. They loved each other. They never harmed anybody. You didn’t hear of crimes like you do here. It was a peaceful country back then. Now? Forget it. It’s a mess! People have gone crazy now. Before I worked as a watchmaker I worked as a mechanic. I was a toolmaker. I worked with big machines. I was a cracker jack! My boss used to love me for what I knew. Every time he had a problem he used to come and ask me. I solved the problems. I learned all of this on my own. No school.

Ph.D. Speaking on respecting death wishes A friend — I think he is a friend — once sent me a Dr. Kevorkian gift certificate. It was a joke, I think. I am one who hopes and prays that I will never have a need for Dr. Jack Kevorkian’s services. I assume that most, if not all of us, want no part of a lingering, suffering death that drains the family emotionally, physically and financially. Given a choice, it would be difficult to believe any mentally healthy person would choose to suffer and cause suffering to loved ones because of one’s condition. Of course, there are many instances when there is not a choice and it is these instances I would like to address. I know this is not a comfortable subject for many. We do everything possible to avoid talking about such issues. But even though painful, the issue of dying is a very real part of life that needs to be faced. My first intimate confrontation with death came at the age of 23. Of course, I had been to a few funerals as a child, but no one close to me had died, so death remained a distant reality. During my second year of graduate school, I began a clinical training program in a hospital. There, on my first day of training, I met Rosemary, a 24-year-old blue-eyed blonde. Although only a year older than myself, she had traveled quite a different road in life. She had married young, just out of high school, to a heavily abusive man. He kept her, as is true in many cases with abusers, isolated. They lived in the country where she had no car, no telephone, no money. Whenever she left the house, he went with her. He was an extremely jealous man who did not take any chances that his pretty, young blonde would leave him. Because his temper was not compatible with his keeping employment, he eventually turned to a life of crime. Repeatedly, he beat Rosemary without mercy. Finally, on a day which for months she had hoped would come, her husband was to be gone for a full day and night. She took a quarter that she had hidden sometime before and walked miles to the nearest grocery, called her mother collect and pleaded for help. Her mother’s response, “You chose to marry this man, don’t come to me begging for help” ... and hung up. Despondent, Rosemary returned home, and endured many more beatings. Slowly a tumor began growing on the side of her neck. Her husband refused to take her to the hospital for treatment, believing that her condition was just a ploy to meet good-looking male doctors. Finally, hope arrived when the police came to their home in response to her husband being caught on film during an armed robbery. Rosemary pleaded for help. They took her to the local hospital. Rosemary’s tumor was now the size of a baseball. After removing the tumor, which unfortunately was cancerous, aggressive treatment began which would last the next 18 months. I worked with her during those months and watched her slowly but surely put her life back together, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Finally, the doctors told her she was on the last lap of this race she had so courageously run. A return to a normal life looked imminent. But, sadly, after returning home her temperature spiked and an infection set in. The cancer was back and her hope for survival was next to none. Her faith had moved to a level where she no longer tried to bargain with God. As she told me on several occasions, “It really doesn’t matter anymore whether I live or die; it only matters how I live today.” Over the next several weeks the medical technology that had been her ally in her hope for recovery became her enemy that would not let her die. She begged me to pull the plug, to allow the suffering to end. I was confused and unsure of what to do. If she had written some direction, such as “Under ________ circumstances, I wish medication and procedures to be stopped,” it may have helped. Finally, she died despite medical intervention. When the dying process involves prolonged suffering, whether we are 24 or 94, the issues involved are many. But the primary issue is what role we should play as loved ones in the dying process. Taking a role is inescapable, because even if we do nothing at all, we have assumed a role. So it is important, out of love, to think carefully about the roles we play and the effect they have. The most important role should be assumed by the person who is facing a lingering death. Before the onset of any illness, provisions can be made to assure your wishes are followed.

Without question, making your wishes known is a powerful expression of love to those who love you most. ‘Entopreneurs’ feed growing appetite for edible insects SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — They hop. They crawl. They squirm. And they could be coming to a dinner plate near you. An increasing number of “entopreneurs” are launching businesses to feed a growing appetite for crickets, mealworms and other edible insects. These upstarts are trying to persuade more Americans to eat bugs, which can be produced with less land, food and water than other sources of animal protein. The United Nations has been promoting edible insects as a way to improve nutrition, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and create jobs in insect production. At least 2 billion people worldwide already eat insects as part of their diet, according to the 2013 report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. But it could be a tough sell for Westerners who are more likely to squash bugs than savor them. “Insects are viewed as what ruins food — a roach in your soup, a fly in your salad. That’s the biggest obstacle — the ick factor,” said Daniella Martin, the “Girl Meets Bug” blogger and author of “Edible: An Adventure into the World of Eating Insects and the Last Great Hope to Save the Planet.” Inside San Francisco’s La Cocina, a commercial kitchen for food entrepreneurs, Monica Martinez empties hundreds of live mealworms, each about 2 inches long, into a plastic container. She uses chopsticks to pull out dead ones before pouring the squirming critters on a tray and sliding them into an oven. Martinez started Don Bugito PreHispanic Snackeria to entice American consumers with treats inspired by popular snacks in her native Mexico. Among her specialties are spicy superworms and chocolate-covered, salted crickets. “The idea is to offer another type of protein into the food market,” said Martinez, an artist and industrial designer who launched Don Bugito as a street food project in 2011. “The biggest job that we have to do is to try to get more people to try our foods.” Don Bugito snacks are sold online or at a La Cocina kiosk in San Francisco’s Ferry Building, where retail workers recently offered free samples of chocolatecovered crickets and spicy superworms. “No!” said a young boy when asked to try one. But more adventurous eaters gave them a try. “It doesn’t really taste like a bug. It tastes like crunchy spices,” said Leslie Foreman, who works at a medical technology firm, after sampling a chili-lime cricket. “I’m not sure this is going to be my everyday snack, but I think it’s fun and I think it’s cool.” Across San Francisco Bay inside at a kitchen in Berkeley, Megan Miller and her assistants shape clumps of orange-ginger cookie dough, carefully arrange them up on a tray and slip them in an oven. The key ingredient: flour made from ground-up crickets. Hysni From Page 29 railroad times. It still works, still performs and it’s still beautiful. Those kinds of watches are good forever. “You take a new watch — if it runs for 10 or 15 years, you’re lucky. The technology today stinks. It’s a fake. It’s made just to sell more things to people. It don’t last. You have everything in them — to tell time, to tell the weather — sure, that’s fine. But how long is that phone going to be around? The old telephones were strong. They still work. Old cars, old homes — anything that was made years ago still stands up strong. Old people too! This new generation — they’re on drugs. They’re all doped up. They don’t know which way they’re going. Many wind up in jail. They need repairing too.” While Hysni see similarities in the declining qualities of a younger generation and its products in comparison to an older generation and its more traditional qualities and products, there is no question that a new chapter in the relationship people will have with technology is about to begin with the Apple Watch. Still, there is something to be said about the durability and reliability of antique watches and clocks that can not be matched by most of the disposable technology that keeps time today. Such antique watches and clocks, passed down from Banner photos, WILLIAM WRIGHT WATCHMAKER Harry Hysni uses tiny balance staffs, screws and jewels as precision instruments where low friction, long life and dimensional accuracy are important. Hysni has more than 60 years of experience as a third generation Watchmaker. parent to child, can have great sentimental value. Many people also appreciate the skill, ingenuity and craftsmanship exemplified in mechanical watches and clocks. So, let Apple unveil its most personal product designed to be worn — the Apple watch. Let a new chapter in the relationship people have with technology begin. Time stands still for no man and no one can stand in the way of progress. But for Harry Hysni, a man who works on time machines — who still has the will to bring perfection to his craft — repairing and selling a quality product that outlives most human beings has its own appeal — in fact, it’s timeless. Many choices, indecision with Apple Watch NEW YORK (AP) — Of the 13 Apple Watch models I tried over two sessions, the one I liked most cost $15,000. Oops — where’s my raise? Both sessions at the Apple store began with indecision: What size do I want? Which band do I prefer? I didn’t have good answers as my Apple Watch try-on visits started — at first modestly, with models that cost about the same as an iPhone. The try-on session typically begins with making an appointment online. If you’re looking for a luxury “Edition” made of 18karat gold alloy, you specify that. Only some stores offer those, including the one I visited on New York’s Upper West Side. I bypassed the appointments because Apple’s media reps in Cupertino, California, had arranged my sessions. Stores will try to accommodate walkins, but appointments are encouraged. As someone who can’t decide what to eat for lunch, I expected to be told which watch I wanted. Sensing my indecision, the employees in both cases picked one just to get started. I began with a smaller version of the stainless steel case, with a brown leather band called Modern Buckle ($749). The band looks like a leather strap you buckle, but has magnetic clasps. It felt loose, even at the tightest setting. I was told not every band is going to fit every wrist. I then tried a large stainless steel case with a black leather loop ($699) — also clasped magnetically, but without the holes you normally see with a buckle. The band comes in two sizes, but only the large one was available for trying. It was too long. It turns out stores don’t have all 54 configurations available for trying out. Most stations have 18 watches to choose from, locked in a drawer that requires a tap from the employee’s security device. You get a feel, but not necessarily in your color or length. I tried the Modern Buckle again, this time in black. Still loose. That was followed by AP photo A CUSTOMER looks at a line of Apple’s new watches displayed at a store in San Francisco, April 10. Apple has started taking orders for the watch on its website and the Apple Store app. Currently, that’s the only way Apple is selling the watch, with shipments scheduled to start April 24. large and small cases with a classic buckle. The fit was much better. I also tried models with a synthetic-rubber sports band and a stainless steel link bracelet. Bands are easily interchangeable by pressing a release button, and some are sold separately. I can use the sports band for running and a classic buckle for regular wear. Likewise, individual links on the bracelet can be removed without special tools. But the try-on visits aren’t set up for that. Nor are they set up for lefties; everything will appear upside down in the watches’ demonstration mode. You can change that — once you buy it. I returned several hours later to meet with an Edition specialist. I wasn’t feted with chocolate and champagne, but I did get a more personalized experience. You’re taken to a private room in some stores, but mine didn’t have one, so luxury appointments are done on the main floor, to the side. As the specialist assisted me, another employee went into a backroom to bring out specific models on request — in nice boxes that give the watch a luxury feel, while doubling as a charger (there’s a charging port in the back). The process wasn’t as quick as I expected, but what’s the rush when you’re ready to spend $10,000 to $17,000? I tried one with a blue classic leather buckle ($15,000) and another with a white sports band ($12,000). The syntheticrubber sports band looked out of place on a case made of gold alloy, but the gold clasp matches. Likewise, the metal on the buckle straps are also gold to match. I tried four others from nonluxury lines. One also had a classic buckle to get a feel for the difference in weight. At 69 grams, or 2.4 ounces, the gold model I tried is 38 percent heavier than stainless steel. I didn’t notice it, though, until someone pointed it out. Apple does offer six configurations for $17,000, but my specialist says they are designed for women. The $15,000 blue buckle I tried was one of the two priciest for men. It fits nicely on my wrist and looks sharp — possibly because it just feels rich. I’m sure the other ones will work just fine, including the cheapest ones at $349 for the small case and $399 for large. So which of the others to choose? Urgh. Indecision. A trick for keeping spring lamb burgers from tasting gamey By MELISSA D’ ARABIAN Associated Press No meat says spring quite like lamb. When I lived in France, the seasonality of meats such as lamb was celebrated. Rarely have I tasted lamb so mild and sweet as the first cuts of spring lamb from the South of France. While healthier cooks tend to limit red meat, happily there is a place for lamb on the healthy plate! While animal proteins bring saturated fats to the table, only about half of lamb’s fat is saturated. And lamb is full of protein, which means even a few ounces of it can be filling. A 4ounce raw portion has just about 200 calories, which means it’s easy to celebrate spring with an evening of juicy, tasty lamb. I love lamb that isn’t gamey, so I tend to do one of two things. I either buy tender baby lamb racks, then season them with garlic, mustard and herbs before roasting them, or I buy less expensive ground lamb and make patties or burgers. To keep the lamb burgers extra mild, I often mix in another variety of ground meat, usually turkey or lean beef. I add just enough to take the gamey edge off the lamb. The result is a perfect flavor that reminds me of a French springtime supper. ——— LAMB BURGERS WITH WATERCRESS AND CREAMY MINT SAUCE Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 4 3/4 pound ground lamb 1/2 pound 93 percent lean ground beef Kosher salt and ground black pepper Garlic powder 1/3 cup light mayonnaise 1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped 1 small shallot, roughly chopped 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 4 burger buns, toasted 6-inch segment of an English cucumber, thinly sliced 1 large tomato, sliced and salted 2 cups watercress In a large bowl, gently combine the lamb and ground beef until mixed. Form the mixture into 4 patties, then season them with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Heat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grill grates using an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs, or coat a grill pan with cooking spray. Add the burgers and cook for 8 to 10 minutes (for medium), flipping them after 4 minutes. Meanwhile, make the mint sauce. In a blender, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, mint, shallot and Worcestershire sauce. Blend until creamy. To assemble the burgers, divide the cucumber slices between the buns, then set a burger on top. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mint sauce onto each burger, then top with a tomato slice and watercress. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015—31 LIBRARY CORNER FOLA to feature Steven James in Spring Author Event April 30 The library is selling tickets to the Belk Charity Sale on May 2, 6 through 10 a.m. All proceeds go to support adult programs.

Narrative of ‘Adult Onset’ feels intensely personal “Adult Onset” (Tin House Books) By Ann-Marie MacDonald AP Photo Ann-Marie MacDonald’s latest novel, “Adult Onset,” tracks a week in the life of Mary Rose MacKinnon. A famous author of YA novels, Mary Rose is stalled on starting the last book of a popular trilogy and taking care of her two young children while her partner, who is focusing on her career, is directing a play out of town. To that end, it’s the most accurate description of solo parenting I’ve ever read, not so much juggling a number of tasks from the seemingly simple (answering one email) to crucial (keeping scissors away from a toddler) as trying to keep from drowning under them. MacDonald nails both the hilarity and the crippling anxiety of day-to-day life, revealing they are not necessarily mutually exclusive, as well as the internal struggle between needing help and believing one should be capable of handling all this without it. The novel starts with an email from Mary Rose’s father, which triggers the memory of a childhood bone injury. As her week progresses, Mary Rose comes to wonder how reliable her memories are, and her fear about what’s behind this memory continues to affect her relationships with her parents, siblings and children. The narrative feels intensely personal, and in fact MacDonald drew from her own experiences in writing “Adult Onset.” Her writing is dizzying and brilliant and often disorienting, which beautifully supports the novel’s themes, perfectly capturing how it feels to be unmoored and seemingly alone. Equally moving are flashback passages centering on Mary Rose’s mother, herself suffering through postpartum depression. Less effective are excerpts from Mary Rose’s YA novels — they feel more like interruptions but do serve to bridge the transition between chapters and to break some of the rising tensions in the main story. Both the external and internal pressures build slowly yet steadily for Mary Rose, and the novel wades into very dark territory, but ultimately bears a message of light and hope, remembrance and forgiveness.

President Rick Donegan welcomed the group, and he thanked the host couple for once again extending their gracious hospitality. Secretary Dortha Townsend conducted the roll call and read the minutes of the February meeting. In the absence of treasurer Terry Barger, Donegan read the financial report that Barger had submitted prior to the meeting. Donegan announced the location listed in the yearbook for the club’s meeting on May 7 needs to be changed. Prior to that date, he will notify all members about the site of the new meeting place. Music Scholarship Committee Chairman Pat Meagher, who was not present at the meeting, will be asked about her committee’s preparations for the next scholarship award. Donegan also stressed the need for a look at the club’s bylaws to decide whether to change them or start using them as they are written. For that purpose, he invited member participation on a committee that would review the current bylaws and discuss the issue with the executive committee when it meets for the summer planning session. Melanie Mallett Josh Wenger called attention to two student Chad akins choir concerts at the Lake Forest Auditorium to be held on April 16 and 21, both starting at A Bradley Central High School 7:30 pm.

He has been called “England’s first hymnist.” He wrote many poems and hymns as well as the “Manual of Prayers.” When serving as chaplain at Winchester College, he wrote for use by his young scholars the morning, evening and midnight hymns. All three of them end with the same refrain that is referred to as “The Doxology,” which was Cartwright’s selection for the evening. Not only was Donegan conducting the meeting, he directed “Bach to Bach,” also, a program of instrumental music by Johann Sebastian Bach. Starting the program, Donegan talked about the German composer, who lived from 1685 until 1750. He described him as the greatest composer and musician of the Baroque era and explained that “Bach enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic organiza- Mallett — Akins Mr. and Mrs. Craig Mallett of Cleveland, announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Melanie Mallett, to Chad Akins, both of Chattanooga.

His compositions include the “Brandenburg Concertos,” the “Goldberg Variations,” the “Mass in B minor,” two “Passions” and more than three hundred sacred cantatas of which nearly two hundred have survived. “His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth,” Donegan shared with his audience. “Bach was born into a musical family and his father probably taught him to play the violin and harpsichord. After being orphaned by age 10, his brother, Johann Christoph, took him in and taught him the clavichord. His abilities as an organist were respected throughout Europe during his lifetime, but he was not widely recognized as a great composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. Now he is generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time,” Donegan said. Pianist Karen Archer played Bach’s “Prelude No. 2 in C minor,” and George Olin continued with a clarinet solo announced as “Solo for Unaccompanied Clarinet.” He explained for lack of finding a suitable clarinet solo from a suite to fit into the program, he and a fellow musician adapted Bach’s “Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor” to be played as a clarinet solo. Bach’s “Minuet and March for Two Trumpets” was played by the trumpet duo of Donegan and guest performer Dan Knappen. The Woodwind Trio with April Itson (flute), Sandy Donegan (oboe), and George Olin (clarinet) presented Bach’s “Bourrée from Suite No. 3 in D major.” Itson, likewise a guest performer, is no stranger to the Cleveland Music Club.

The Magnolia Garden Club held its regular monthly meeting on March 26 at Jenkins Restaurant. Chaplain Linda Cross arranged and hosted a buffet meal and offered the blessing from Mark 3:24-26. Members were reminded of the importance of standing united and working together to accomplish common goals. Incoming District III Director Lelia Ware Johnson attended as a very welcome special guest. President Fredricka Lawson reported on awards received for participation in the Deep South Community Garden Project. The Day of Gardening on Feb. 28 was pronounced “a huge success.” Club events included planting 10 willow oak trees at a community park in Charleston to celebrate Arbor Day and the upcoming placing of an information table to give advice to gardeners visiting Ace Hardware on May 2. Other community events and projects for 2015 were discussed. A clever, entertaining and touching induction of new officers for 2015-2017 was delivered by Patsy Bettis. She likened officers and club members to Proven Winners, the leading brand of high quality flowering plants in North America. Magnolia Garden Club, claims Bettis, has a 60-year history of being a winning leader. Lawson was compared to a rose, queen of the garden, and praised for her versatility, charm, class and ability to climb to new heights. She was implored to bring everyone together in a “profusion of beauty and excellence.” Chaplain and vice president Linda Cross’ role was compared to that of the garden annual, whose role as planner of programs and activities is like the new “must have” annuals used to create massed plantings and beauty throughout the changing seasons. She was asked to use her creativity to provide variety and deliver programs that help Magnolia Garden Club be the best it can be. Taylor’s role as treasurer was compared to the techniques of the gardener who uses plant propagation, seed collection and plant exchanges as frugal ways to guard funds. Similarly, her role as treasurer serves the club in cooperatively collecting and protecting raised funds like a wise gardener in a way that increases the range of the club. Club activities are similar to the immense variety of perennials available to the gardener. Club happenings are documented by the secretary, Brenda Nakdimen, who was asked to keep written record of the “colorful happenings” of the Magnolia Garden club. Club parliamentarian LuAnn Carey was asked to remind mem- bers of the use of the club constitution and bylaws, similar to the way the gardener uses the basics of botany to enhance horticultural techniques. The Bible tells us God created the heavens and the earth. Incoming chaplain Ginger Cloud was entreated to remind members of the “joy in and responsibility to care for God’s creation” of land, water and sky and all that He created. Specimens presented included flowering quince, euphorbia cyparissias, apple blossom, pussy willow and Nandina. Floral arrangements of marigold, caladium, verbena, petunia and coleus were presented to speaker Bettis and Officer Johnson. Individual plants were presented to incoming officers. Others in attendance included Annette Stanbery, Elsie Yates, Erma Brewer, Cecile Broz, Sheila Cardin and guest Bonnie Bain, Nakdimen’s mother.

Education grants discussed at April meeting The Cleveland Bradley County Retired Teachers’ Association met for a luncheon meeting on April 9 at Westwood Baptist Church. Deborah Flower, president, called the meeting to order, welcomed members and recognized guests Valerie Helmstetter and Cheryl Ledford. Duane Schriver gave the devotion. After the luncheon, Mary Charles Blair, vice president, introduced the speaker, Lynn Voelz, director of the Bradley/Cleveland Public Education Foundation. The Foundation partners with the Cleveland and Bradley County school systems to raise community awareness, gain financial support and enhance teaching and learning. This partnership provides funds for supplemental programs and materials not covered in the regular school budg- et reaching 26 schools and more than 15,000 students. Ms. Voelz reviewed the mission, vision and beliefs of the foundation. She gave an update on the impact of the foundation through teacher grants and professional development. Jane Littlejohn, grant manager, shared information on grants awarded during the 2014-2015 academic year. She said 19 teacher grants were awarded to 10 different schools. The grants were used in the classroom by 40 teachers and affected 7,500 students. Voelz expressed the importance of financial support for the Bradley/Cleveland Public Education Foundation and distributed brochures on tribute giving and the legacy society. During the business portion of the meeting, the minutes of the February meeting were read and approved. Joy Yates presented copies of the treasurer’s report which was approved as presented. President Flower announced the scholarship committee will meet on April 10 to review applications received for the Ann Guthrie Martin Scholarship and select the recipient. Lois Glass asked members to remember the family of Gaynelle Humbred and the contribution she made to education. Gerald Lillard gave legislative updates regarding retired teachers. Flower announced a meeting of the East Tennessee Retired Teachers’ Association to be held on May 21 in Knoxville and a Tennessee Retired Teacher Association conference on June 9 in Murfreesboro. Duane Schriver and Cathy Elkins will serve on the nominating committee to prepare a slate of officers for the next twoyear term. The next meeting will be on June 11 at 11:30 a.m. at Westwood Baptist Church. Gerald Lillard will be the speaker and conduct the installation of officers. The Ann Guthrie Martin Scholarship recipient will be presented. The local association meets bimonthly and membership is open to any retired teacher. GET READY FOR SUMMER!

Do your homework before ordering plants by mail AP photo By Lee Reich In thIs Photo, though looking forlorn, these healthy, bareroot, mail-order nursery trees are ready to grow, their roots recently unpacked from moist sawdust and wet newspaper, and a wrapping of plastic film, in New Paltz, N.Y. Associated Press You can buy trees, shrubs, and flower plants through the mail that are as high-quality as those you can get locally, and often in greater variety. Problem is: Not all mail-order nurseries are equally reputable. And you can’t just drive your sickly plant back to the store to show it and complain. It’s not always obvious when you open a packaged plant that arrived by mail whether that plant has problems. I once ordered a Green Gage plum tree from a mail-order nursery that specializes in fruits. My mouth was watering a few springs later as branches snowy in bloom foreshadowed delectable fruits for summer. Alas, the ripe fruit lacked the green-gold color and heart shape of Green Gage, as well as the delectable flavor. I called the nursery about the mislabeled plant and they offered to replace it. Yeah, right. And wait another few years to see if they got it right this time? The lesson: Investigate before you purchase. A website such as http://davesgarden.com/ or magazine articles are ways to sleuth out a nursery’s track record. WORDS TO WATCH FOR Winnowing through the wording of plant descriptions can help you avoid disappointment. Too many superlatives, for example, makes them suspect. I have in front of me a magazine advertisement in which almost every item promises to be “carefree,” ‘’easy” and “blooming year after year.” In fact, hybrid tulips, one of the items offered, bloom year after year for just a few years and then typically lose steam. This ad also features a “fantastically low-priced offer.” If prices seem too cheap, the plants being sold are likely low-quality. Ten gladiolus bulbs might seem like a bargain at $4.99 — until you read the fine print stating their size. Any good nursery should specify the size of their bulbs. High-quality gladiolus bulbs are large, which means more and better blooms. Ah, you say, but the nursery has an ironclad guarantee. That’s generally a reliable indicator of nursery quality, however. A nursery may bank on the fact that many people won’t bother to contact it to make good on a guarantee, especially if the plants were inexpensive in the first place. And a guarantee for a free replacement just brings you another plant more worthy of your compost pile than your garden. A mail-order nursery once sent me what seemed like a stick dropped into a sandwich bag — allegedly a bush cherry that I had ordered. My replacement was the same. Contrast this experience with the one I recently had with a small mail-order nursery that specializes in nut trees and did not even offer guarantees. I noticed that a chestnut tree I had planted last spring had died, so I called to order another. The nursery’s owner insisted on replacing it for free. RESEARCH BEFORE ORDERING Consult books and reliable websites for information about the plants you’re seeking. The fruit nursery I mentioned earlier bills Liberty apple as one that resists “insects and apple diseases.” Not true! Liberty is a delectable apple and does resist diseases, but it’s no more resistant to insects than a diseasesusceptible McIntosh. And their Granny Smith apple? Yes, it does have a “unique, spritely, crunchy flavor,” but there’s no mention of that fact that it won’t have time to ripen in northern gardens. $ 55 OFFICE VISIT INCLUDES: 30 PILLS OFFER GOOD THRU APRIL 2015!

The videos are played for them each morning to calm their agitation and reassure them about their surroundings and their routines. Videos made to reassure patients with dementia NEW YORK (AP) — For 94-yearold Louise Irving, who suffers from dementia, waking up every day to a video with a familiar face and a familiar voice seems to spark a flicker of recognition. “Good morning, merry sunshine, how did you wake so soon?” Irving’s daughter, Tamara RusoffHoen, sings in a video playing from a laptop wheeled to her mother’s nursing home bedside. As the five-minute video plays, with stories of happy memories and get-togethers, Irving beams a bright smile before repeating the traditional family send-off. “Kiss, kiss ... I love you.” Such prerecorded messages from family members are part of an apparently unique pilot program at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale aimed at helping victims of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia break through the morning fog of forgetfulness that can often cause them agitation and fear. It’s an idea borrowed from an unlikely place, the 2004 Adam Sandler movie “50 First Dates,” in which a brain-injured woman played by Drew Barrymore loses her memory every day and a suitor played by Sandler uses videos to remind her about him. “It was fluff, but it made me think, ‘How could that translate to our residents with memory loss?’” said Charlotte Dell, director of social services at the home. “We’re looking to see if we can set a positive tone for the day” without using drugs, she said. “What better way to start the day than to see the face and hear the voice of someone you love wishing you a wonderful morning?” As in the movie, every day is a new day, and the video becomes part of the morning routine. Relatives who take part are urged to say good morning, use memory-triggering personal anecdotes and remind the residents that attendants will be helping them get dressed and ready for the day. Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias afflict a growing number of Americans as baby boomers age and people live longer. The Alzheimer’s Association says more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s. The first-thing-in-the morning video visits appear to be a new wrinkle in dementia caretaking. “Memory tools like videos and photos get a lot of use, but to have a couple of minutes with a loved one as a way to start out the day, I haven’t heard of anything quite like that,” says Ruth Drew, director of family and information services for the association. Robert Abrams, a geriatric psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, called the program “both innovative and thoughtful.” “You’ve got a group of people with dementia who don’t really grasp the nature and purpose of their surroundings, or the circumstances that compelled them “Memory tools like videos and photos get a lot of use, but to have a couple of minutes with a loved one as a way to start out the day, I haven’t heard of anything quite like that.” — Ruth Drew to be there,” Abrams says. “Consequently they’re alone and at sea, and feel frightened and even abandoned by family.” Experts cautioned, however, that Alzheimer’s patients vary widely, and that techniques that may work beautifully for one may not work for another. The program at the Hebrew Home is limited to residents in the early and moderate stages of dementia who are likely to recognize the people in the video and understand what they say. “Do we know for sure that they know, this is my daughter, this is my son? No,” Dell said. “But they recognize them as somebody they care about and love.” The program is starting with residents who are known to the staff as difficult in the morning and refuse care, a description that Rusoff-Hoen acknowledged fits her mother. “Some of her agitation comes from, ‘Who the heck are these people? Why am I here?’” she said. Though Rusoff-Hoen, who lives a couple of hours away in Ghent, New York, visits her mother three days a week, she said the video program makes her feel, “I am there with my mom, loving her and wishing her a wonderful day and helping her to feel better, because there’s not a lot I can do for her.” The Hebrew Home plans to evaluate the program after this month and then may expand it to more of the several hundred residents in its memory-care “neighborhoods.” Dell said anecdotal evidence from the staff is “very positive.” Irving’s son-in-law, Mihai Radulescu, also made a video for Irving, in which he kids her about being “a delinquent” because she once worked for a bootlegger. On the recording, he repeatedly reminds Irving, “I know where you are. ... I will always find you,” because she has expressed a deep fear of being lost. Other videos currently in use include a woman reminding her mother, in Spanish, to eat and take her medications, then tearing up at the end and saying, “I love you, Mom.” On another video, a man encourages his mother, saying, “You used to tell me that attitude is everything. ... You said that it’s best to start off on the sunny side of the street.” CHICAGO (AP) — She was born to a young Chicago couple, named Jennifer, and grew into a beautiful long-lashed child with wavy dark hair, big brown eyes and a yearning, youthful desire to be just like all the other girls. Only she wasn’t. Doctors first noticed her slightly enlarged genitals, and then discovered she had testes inside her abdomen and male chromosomes. And so began a series of surgeries to make things “right.” Jennifer Pagonis was born intersex, an umbrella term for several conditions in which an infant’s reproductive anatomy doesn’t conform to standard definitions of male or female. The physical effects can be subtle, or very obvious. A century ago, intersex adults were top draws at circus sideshows. Then, as surgical techniques for ambiguous genitals evolved, doctors began performing surgeries on affected infants and encouraged parents to raise children as the sex they visibly resembled. Many families kept the conditions hidden, fearing stigma and shame. Pagonis’ parents knew nothing about the conditions — or about the surgeries’ troubling risks, including damage to sexual function, satisfaction and psyche later on. Now, efforts are underway to change the way intersex children are treated. “The way that we took care of things in the past ... where there was a fair amount of secrecy, where there was surgery done in the infant state, and potentially irreversible surgery, is probably not the best way to go about things,” said Dr. Earl Cheng, who runs the 2-year-old sex development disorders program at Chicago’s Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital. The program is one of several nationwide that employ a team of specialists including surgeons, hormone experts, genetic counselors, psychologists and ethicists. The team helps families weigh their options, including whether surgery should be considered at all. Intersex activists advise against it and urge tolerance for affected kids. There’s even an intersex character on television, introduced on this season on MTV’s “Faking It” series. It’s a fitful evolution and a sign of the times, perhaps the natural next step in the gender-blurring evolution, with feminism and the gay- and transgender rights movements helping pave the way for more acceptance of people who don’t fit the typical male or female mold. Intersex conditions are often confused with gender identity issues, but they’re different. Gender orientation refers to whether someone identifies as male, female, or something else; intersex involves reproductive anatomy. Some affected children have typical male or female chromosomes, but genetic glitches and hormonal problems that begin in the womb, cause genitals to resemble those of the opposite sex. Others have a male-female blend of sex chromosomes and AP Photo Pidgeon PAgonis speaks at her home in Chicago. Pagonis doesn’t identify as female or male and works as an artist and intersex activist against surgery. reproductive organs. Prevalence estimates vary, from more than 1 in 1,000 newborns, which includes conditions that involve mildly atypical genitals, to about 1 in 5,000 for more obvious cases. Experts say there’s no evidence numbers are increasing, although rising awareness has led more families to seek treatment at specialty centers like the one in Chicago. The new treatment approach stems partly from a 2006 consensus statement on intersex disorders by U.S. and European medical specialists who advocated against knee-jerk surgeries and said older patients should be involved in some decisions. That year the American Academy of Pediatrics retired an old surgeryfocused policy. The evolution is part of a trend in U.S. medicine toward better communication and more patient-focused treatment. With intersex conditions, these interactions can be fraught with emotion and controversy, and not all families are ready to embrace the change. Some still choose surgery, fearing that without it, their children will be considered freaks. “There was some angst about getting surgery done when she was an infant. I wouldn’t let anyone baby-sit for her or change her diapers, other than my mom. I didn’t want other people to know,” says a suburban Chicago woman who agreed to speak with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to protect her 8-year-old daughter from possible public scorn. The girl has congenital adrenal hyperplasia, an intersex condition that caused boyish-looking genitals. It involves overproduction of male hormones and can be deadly unless lifelong hormone treatment is started quickly. Her parents agreed to a clitoris reduction. “I definitely had second thoughts about were we doing the “The way that we took care of things in the past ... where there was a fair amount of secrecy, where there was surgery done in the infant state, and potentially irreversible surgery, is probably not the best way to go about things.” — Dr. Earl Cheng right thing,” her mom said. “I still feel like we made the right decision. Time will tell.” Pagonis has a different condition involving male hormones — androgen insensitivity syndrome — but also had a clitoral reduction, and more. Undescended testes were removed to prevent them from developing cancer; some doctors now think affected children can be monitored instead. Pagonis was born without a uterus and a partial vagina that surgeons later extended so that as an adult she might have normal sexual intercourse, but Pagonis says she learned as a teenager that it was almost impossible. Pagonis knew her body was different, but didn’t learn the full truth until a college instructor described the hormone syndrome. Pagonis phoned her mom after class to find out the name of her condition. “I was like, ‘Oh. My. God! That’s the thing the teacher was talking about ... ,” said Pagonis, now 29. “And then I went into like a freefall.” Pagonis struggled with depression and angst until meeting young intersex adults who’ve embraced their differences. Pagonis now uses the first name “Pidgeon,” doesn’t identify as female or male and works as an artist and intersex activist against surgery. Pagonis’ advice for parents with intersex infants? “Take them home and love them ... just the way they are.” Alice Dreger, a Northwestern University ethicist and author, says it makes sense for parents to raise affected kids as boys or girls. “But sometimes we get that gender assignment wrong. And in those cases it’s particularly important that we’ve not done unnecessary interventions.” A Columbia, South Carolina, couple who adopted a child with a condition similar to Pagonis’s filed a landmark medical malpractice lawsuit over surgery performed after the birth parents lost custody. Doctors and social services authorities decided on operations to make him look like a girl, the 2013 lawsuit says. Representatives for the state and doctors declined comment. Pam and Mark Crawford, the adoptive parents, raised the child as a girl until he insisted he was a boy. The Crawfords worried that the gender switch “would offend people’s sensitivity in the Bible Belt but that has not been the case at all,” Mark Crawford said. He said their child, now 10, has been welcomed as a boy at school and church, and is doing well. An appeals court in January dismissed their federal complaint alleging the boy’s constitutional rights were violated. The Crawfords’ state lawsuit is likely to go to trial later this year. “What happened to our son is something that is pretty devastating. We feel like this is the only way we can have an influence on it not happening again,” Pam Crawford said. —Online: National Library of Medicine: http://tinyurl.com/26f7l5 Treatment guidelines: http://bit.ly/1CptvzA Many Medicare cataract patients given needless tests By MarIlynn MarchIone AP Chief Medical Writer Millions of older people are getting tests they don’t need to prove they are healthy enough to have cataracts removed, a new study finds. The excess testing before this quick, ultra-safe eye procedure is costing them and Medicare a bundle, and many patients don’t know they can question it, doctors say. “They should ask, ‘Is it really necessary?’” and how much it will cost them in co-insurance — usually 20 percent under Medicare, said one study leader, Dr. R. Adams Dudley of the University of California, San Francisco. It’s amazing “how much harm a doctor can do with the wiggle of their pen or a check in a box” to order these tests, he said. “In just seconds they can spend tons of people’s time and money.” Removing cataracts that cloud vision is the most common elective operation for older adults, done 1.7 million times each year in the United States. It’s an outpatient procedure that takes about 18 minutes and requires only numbing eye drops, not general anesthesia. “This is one of the lowest-risk surgery procedures you can have,” with less than a 1 percent risk of major heart problems or death, said Dr. Catherine Lee Chen, a UCSF anesthesiologist who led the study. Yet many doctors order preoperative tests such as blood work, chest X-rays, electrocardiograms and even advanced heart and lung tests to ensure a patient can withstand the procedure. Major studies found that about half of Medicare recipients were getting such tests before cataract removal, and that routine testing did not improve outcomes or safety. In 2002, several medical groups issued guidelines advising against it. Chen did the study to see if the situation had improved since then, and found it had not. Looking at Medicare records on more than 440,000 patients who had cataracts removed in 2011, researchers found that 53 percent had at least one test in the month before surgery. About 13 percent of patients were given one test; 11 percent had two, 10 percent had three, 7 percent had four, and a whopping 13 percent had five or more tests. The biggest factor in whether tests were ordered was the eye doctor, not characteristics of the patients or their health risks. About 36 percent of eye doctors ordered tests on three-fourths or more of their patients, and 8 percent did so for every patient. “It could be the policy at their surgery center,” Chen said, yet researchers found that whether the procedure was done at a hospital outpatient center versus somewhere else made little difference in testing rates. The study is in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. The results are surprising, said Ellen Meara, a professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. “It suggests a lot of unnecessary testing,” and that patients should be questioning it, she said. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015—35 SUNDAY Campus Christy Armstrong Staff writer Phone 472-5041 or fax 614-6529 [email protected] Banner photo, CHRISTY ARMSTRONG Banner photo, CHRISTY ARMSTRONG TENNESSEE Education Commissioner Dr. Candice McQueen, far right, visits with students in Cara STUDENTS in Kristin Stansell’s class at Michigan Avenue Elementary School demonstrate their work Rogers’ music class at Michigan Avenue Elementary School during her recent visit to Cleveland.

Michigan Avenue PTO raises more than $17,000 Special to the Banner The Michigan Avenue Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization raised more than $17,000 for the school during a recent event. The PTO held its annual spring auction April 10, with hundreds of parents, students, teachers, staff and community members in attendance. This yearly event raised money for teachers' classroom accounts, the school’s Reading Intervention Program and the operational budget for the PTO. The PTO began planning the event in September, solicited over 500 community businesses and acquired over 170 donations. An additional 60 items were donated or made by those at the school. The items that made the most money were the school street signs which are named after families and placed on the drives for a school year, along with Gatlinburg cabin rentals, a day on the Greenway child's bike package, a gorgeous adult bike, an American girl doll, and experiences like “Pizza, Pop and Play” with the SRO and “Principal for the Day.” "We can't thank the Cleveland and Chattanooga community enough for their dedication to education and our community. Without the donations, this event would not have been as successful as it was," PTO President Becca Brnik said. "We even had 12 auction table sponsors that donated money on top of items towards the auction. We could not be prouder of these relationships with both large and small businesses.” "We are proud to announce that we grossed over $17,000 for MAS, with close to $4,000 directly returning to classroom teachers’ accounts," added PTO Treasurer Angie Myers. "This is far above our desired goal of $10,000 and just demonstrates the incredible parental and community support we have at MAS.” "We couldn't be more excited!" PTO Secretary Rachael Swigert said. "It was a huge endeavor, and we are happy and blessed it worked out so well!" The PTO had incentives for attending. Elizabeth Clark's kindergarten class won a pizza party, and the entire kindergarten cohort had the largest percentage of registered bidders and won a popcorn party. PTO Vice President Jessica Wolfendon added that one highlight of the event involved throwing pies. "MAS and the PTO are committed to all children learning how to read well, and we were able to celebrate Accelerated Reader achievement. Students who had earned over 500 points were allowed to throw a pie into our SRO Aubrey [Rominger]'s face. We had seven students qualify, and five were able to attend the event. Our SRO not only protects our students, but she believes in their hard work and achievement." "It was a fabulous evening, and we are already beginning to think about updates for next spring," Brnik said.

In one way or the other, there are people in this world who want to make a quick buck at your expense. I know April Fool’s Day is passed, but those who seek to make “fools” of honest folks seem to operate every day of the year. Recently, I warned readers about burglars and thieves, who prey on homeowners, especially in spring and summer, when we’re gone on trips, or when we are more likely to leave a door unlocked or a window open. These criminals are too lazy to seek useful employment, they would rather steal from hardworking citizens who buy what they want and need. That is why the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office is constantly on the lookout for burglars and thieves of another sort … the scam artist or those who commit fraud. There are all different kinds of swindles. No doubt, you have heard of the IRS scam, or the jury duty scam, both of which have swept our area recently. The IRS scam accuses honest residents of owing money to the Internal Revenue Service … money they do not owe. The jury duty scam can be even scarier, as those involved allege honest residents have missed a court date and will be jailed unless they pay a fee. These are just a couple of the frauds, scams, swindles or whatever you choose to call them. Also, there are all sorts of home improvement frauds floating around this time of year. Do not be an April Fool, be ready and be suspicious when people purporting to represent roofing companies or lawn services roll into your neighborhood. Some people are talked into paying the total fee before services are rendered, then the services are never completed. The “contractor” disappears with the money, never to be seen again. Make sure the contractor has the required licenses, insurance, etc. — and be sure to See WATSON, Page 38 CSCC’S ChambeR Choir, from left front, incudes Gracie Cunningham, Logan Smith, Nacor Lantigua; middle, Cody Langford, Betsy Broersma, Piper Evans, Leah Smalley; and back, Emily Crawley, Sean Moran, Robert Wiggall and Josh Gardner.

Cleveland State choral emsembles to present concert on April 24 The choral ensembles of Cleveland State Community College will present a concert on Friday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in the George R. Carlos Rising and Logan Smith Johnson Cultural Heritage Center on the CSCC campus. The spring concert will be a mix of musical styles and genres. Works included in the program begin with the 1930s and the music of George and Ira Gershwin (“A Gershwin Portrait Opening”) and Harold Arlen (“Over the Rainbow.”) The Ladies of Vocal Rhapsody will carry it into the next decade with “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” and the Chamber Choir will sing the 1941 sacred choral composition by Mueller, “Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God.” Cody Langford will wrap up that decade with the 1949 song “Some Enchanted Evening” from South Pacific. The Chamber Choir will perform a lively medley from the 1950s, and the men of Vocal Rhapsody will share the 1957 hit, “Book of Love,” as well as an “Ode to Krispy Kreme,” the iconic doughnut chain. The ’60s will include the Chamber Choir’s rendition of “Rhythm of Life” from Sweet Charity, and an a cappella arrangement by the Vocal Rhapsody ladies of “When I’m 64,” with the men singing the 1969 No. 1 Temptations hit, “I Can’t Get Next to You.” The 1970s will feature Vocal Rhapsody with biology professor Penni Jo Wilson on solo singing “Come Sail Away,” and the ensemble singing a brief segment of its namesake song, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The 1980s will begin with the beautiful John See CONCERT, Page 38 38—Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015 www.clevelandbanner.com ‘Jane the Virgin,’ John Oliver among Peabody Award winners LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Jane the Virgin” and John Oliver’s satirical news show are among the winners in the first round of this year’s Peabody Awards. The Peabody panel deemed the CW sitcom “Jane the Virgin” a “smart, self-aware telenovela” and its star Gina Rodriguez “incandescent.” HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” is a “worthy addition to the news-as-comedy genre,” and offers “fresh, feisty investigative reports,” the panel said in announcing its entertainment awards this week. Others winners include “The Americans”; “Fargo”; “The Honorable Woman”; “Inside Amy Schumer”; “The Knick”; “Rectify” and “Black Mirror,” an English TV anthology of dark tales. Individual and institutional Peabodys are being awarded to David Attenborough, the veteran British nature documentarian, and “Afropop Worldwide,” a public radio series about African music and its international incarnations. Peabody news and radio winners will be announced Monday, followed on Thursday by honorees in the documentary, public service, education and children’s programming areas. Winners will receive their statuettes May 31 in New York as the awards take a step toward glamor with its first red-carpet evening ceremony, hosted by Fred Armisen (whose “Portlandia” comedy is a past Peabody recipient). The ceremony will be featured in a Peabody special airing June 21 on Pivot. The awards for the best in electronic media, in their 74th year, are decided by the board of the George Foster Peabody Awards at the University of Georgia. —Online: http://www.peabody awards.com/ Masterworks to be presented at Tuesday concert Program to include Handel’s ‘Messiah’ and Williams’ Serenade to Music’ Bernhardt ‘The Lee University Choral Union and Symphony Orchestra will present a concert of masterworks on Tuesday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Conn Center.

Watson From Page 37 Lee University Wind ensemble Lee Wind Ensemble to present concert Thursday The Lee University Wind Ensemble will perform its final concert of the season on Thursday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Conn Center under conductor Dr. David Holsinger, professor of music at Lee. The concert will consist of a number of the conductor’s “favorites” and will open with the march from “Symphonic Metamorphosis,” composed by Paul Hindemith. Graduate conductor Timothy Linley will conduct the “Pas Redoublé” by Camille SaintSaëns, which, according to Holsinger, was “a lively quickstep march originally written for four-hand piano” and later transcribed for band. Following a performance of Gustav Holst’s “First Suite in E-Flat,” Mrs. Winona Holsinger will take the podium to conduct several of her husband’s “gentle” pieces. A new edition of “The Globe and Eagle March” by John Philip Sousa, “East Wind” by William O. Smith, and “Festive Overture” by Dmitri Shostakovich will close out the night. The Lee Wind Ensemble is composed of 52 student musicians. Under the direction of Holsinger for the past 16 years, this group is committed to the highest level of performance of instrumental ensemble literature for winds and percussion, and performs for special con- certs on the Lee University campus. In addition to his university teaching, Holsinger spends time as a guest clinician, composer, and conductor throughout the United States, appearing at more than 60 major universities and colleges in the last decade and conducting high school honor bands in 37 states. The concert is free and open to the public. check references! Otherwise, you may end up paying for repairs, damages and more, after you thought the job was done.

Greater Cleveland Concert Band to perform at Lee’s Pangle Hall On Tuesday, April 28, the hallowed halls of Lee University’s Pangle auditorium will ring out with the most popular music of the Broadway stage and Hollywood movies. The free admission public concert will be conducted by Sarah Pearson and feature soprano Mary Beth Torgerson. The concert begins at 7 pm but early arrivals will be entertained from 6:30 to 6:50 with Pearson’s comments about the music. This preopening feature is a first for the band but is often presented by America’s premier bands and orchestras. The band returns to Broadway themes again from Diana Jackson, executive director of Life Bridges, was the guest speaker this week for the Cleveland Civitan meeting. Life Bridges has been serving the intellectually diagnosed community residents with grace, integrity and devotion since 1973. As Bradley County's 12th largest employer, their more than 500 professional employees deliver quality care, housing, therapy, educational, employment and community involvement opportunities for those that they serve. While giving a brief history of their accomplishments, she also explained how some new changes that future laws may effect their ability to help their community in need as they have in the past. their “Broadway, Just Off Broad Street” concert of April, 2013, with encores of “Phantom of the Opera”, “West Side Story,” and Fiddler on the Roof.”New presentations for this upcoming concert will be Paul Yoder’s arrangement of Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel,” with vocal by Torgerson. Her recent credits include performances in “Les Miserables,” “Titanic the Musical,” and “Cinderella.” Other first time offerings will be “My Fair Lady,” and Paul Lavender’s arrangement of composer John Williams medleys including “Theme From E.T.,” “The Mission Theme,” The Imperial March,” “Star Wars,” “Cantina Band,” “Olympic Spirit,” and the pulsating, “Theme from Jaws.” Band founder and current president, R.G. Wolf, resurrected one of his favorite boyhood selections, Karl King’s “Old Vienna Overture.” Pearson liked it and chose it for the 7 p.m. curtain raiser. King, like John Philip Souse, is best known for composing and directing marches, but both authored many other musical formats. This will be GCCB’s forst concert of 2015, with two more planned in June for Greenway Park, and two more after September.

Songwriter Alex North presented it to Bing Crosby in 1936, but he did not record it. Several instrumental versions were released, and in 1955, it was the theme song for the movie “Unchained.” The most popular version was recorded by the Righteous Brothers in 1965, and was popular once again in 1990 with the movie “Ghost.” Vocal Rhapsody will perform this timeless standard, and a medley from “Aladdin” (1992 movie/2011 musical) will also be performed. Carlos Rising and Logan Smith will sing the guitar/vocal song from the 1990s song “More than Words,” the Chamber Choir will light up the 2000s with the beautiful song, “Come in from the Firefly Darkness” leading into the 2009 Owl City hit, “Fireflies,” complete with flashlight “choreography” on the latter. Vocal Rhapsody will bring the concert up to date with Kendra Martin and Lydia Hill as soloists, singing Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” arranged for choir by Roger Emerson. The concert might also feature one or two brief scenes or songs from the Musical Theatre Workshop class, in addition to the two choral ensembles. Admission to the concert is free. Ohio panel OKs measure saying Connecticut is not 1st in flight COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio House panel has approved a resolution rejecting Connecticut’s insistence that one of its aviators beat the Wright brothers to the first successful airplane flight by two years. The Ohio House Transportation Committee OK’d the measure by an 11-0 vote Tuesday. The measure’s next stop is the full House. The measure repudiates Connecticut’s contention Gustave Whitehead successfully flew a powered, heavier-than-air machine of his own design on Aug. 14, 1901, “or on any other date.” A 2013 Connecticut law declared Whitehead’s 1901 flight as beating the Wright Brothers’ December 1903 flight off Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Aviation historians generally agree the Wrights won the race to flight. Lee University recently hosted its annual Lee Day geared toward prospective students and their families. As the final event of the weekend on April 11, eight students won scholarships from the annual scholarship drawing.

The ceremony was conducted by senior members of the Polk County 4-H Clubs. Monroe County 4-H member and Regional Area Scout Leslie Summitt, State 4-H All Star Scribe Abigail Firestone and state Rep. Dan Howell were the guest speakers at the event. Summitt and Firestone addressed the new initiates and challenged them to keep active in 4-H and take advantage of the many opportunities 4-H has to offer, while Howell encouraged the initiates to become leaders in their community while explaining to the group that their participation in 4-H would give them a greater chance to be successful in life. 4-H Members initiated came from 4-H clubs from Chilhowee Middle School, Copper Basin High School and the Polk County Home School Club. Each member earned over 200 points each on the State 4H Honor Club application and was accepted into Honor Club. The 4-H Honor Club is a statewide organization of outstanding junior high and senior 4-H members. Honor Club members are those who have shown exceptional 4-H project work and a willingness to share what they have learned with other 4-H'ers as a junior or teen leader. 4-H members initiated from Chilhowee Middle School were Shelby Boyd, Isaac Brown, Evan Carpenter, Emily Casteel, Jake Darnell, Travis Stewart and Meggie Woody. Initiates from Copper Basin High School were Ashlynne Cross, Emmyllie Cross, Sierra Deal and John Dublin. Initiates from Polk County High School were Scot Dalton, Autymn Dalton and Brianna Walraven. Honor Club is only the first step in Tennessee's recognition program for outstanding 4-H members. Senior members can earn a spot in All Stars through their citizenship and community service work. All Stars is the second step leading to the final step of recognition. Vol State is the highest recognition a Tennessee 4-H member can earn, and it all starts with the Honor Club. Polk County 4-H members initiated into honor club received a certificate and an Honor Club Pin.

Second, I always bring a raincoat so that I’m prepared if I get caught in a storm. Next, I always make sure I’ve packed my compendium of Southern Weeds in case I run across something that I can’t identify. Lastly, I also make sure to have a stain stick for if I spill coffee on myself during the drive to the call — it’s true, some things you have to learn the hard way.

Strategies for Management In light of the increasing vigor of our unwanted plants, we’ll be discussing strategies for garden weed control in our next Monday night class at the Cleveland Public Library. I’ll cover identifying problem garden weeds and different management techniques that range from mechanical to cultural to chemical. If you’re struggling with weeds already, this may be a good place to start. Too often during mid-summer farm visits I run across the pullthe-weeds-when-they-shade-outthe-tomato type of management strategy. If this is you, then should know that weeds actively compete with crop and ornamentaltype plants, so a plan that waits for them to reach a vigorous, mature state has already let the weeds do their damage. By focusing on controlling weeds when they are young and in the vegetative state (before they start dropping more seeds!) your garden or plantings can achieve their full productive potential. Winners of the Dairy Poster Contest were Esmerelda Granados and Autumn Miller. Autumn Miller was also the overall county winner. The winning overall poster winner from Bradley County will be sent on to the state competition. Receiving prizes for exhibits were Jacob Mooneyham, Emily Mooneyham and Logan Cross (Rabbit Exhibit) and Kylie Ehlers (Sewing Exhibit). Sponsors for this event were River Valley AG Credit, VFW Ladies Auxiliary Post No. 2598, Mrs. Wilma Goins, Old Fort Restaurant, Bradley Square Mall, Santa Fe Steakhouse and Town House Bake Shop. From the County Agent’s Desk By Patrick Sweatt TSU Extension Agent Bradley County Agriculture and Natural Resources Why Are Weeds So Difficult to Kill? This is a common question that I hear fairly often. Unlike crop plants, weeds have evolved to be competitive and fast growing with extensive root systems and tremendous numbers of seeds. They easily adapt to remain competitive during drought and spend very little of their energy growing fruit or flowers, but rather seek to create dense, monoculture stands of their vegetation. A farming strategy that takes these aggressive characteristics into account will seek to kill weed seedlings as soon as they germinate or even before they have the opportunity to sprout. If weeds have been a problem in your gardens or plantings, I’d encourage you to visit with us on Monday at 6 p.m. at the Cleveland Public Library, or give us a call at the Cooperative Extension Office a call at (423) 728 7001. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015—41 4-H offers youth number of camp opportunities Are there children in your house who would like to attend a 4-H camp somewhere in Tennessee?

Kids going to camp for the first time? Don’t overtalk it NEW YORK (AP) — Audra Friis has already decided on a Long Island day camp for her 7-yearold daughter and 5-year-old son. She’s confident her oldest will do just fine after attending other day camps, but she’s a tad worried her first-timer will have trouble settling in. “He doesn’t transition as easily as his older sister,” Friis said. “It’s definitely a high-energy camp. My whole issue is really the high energy and the overstimulation. Kids respond to that or they don’t.” While some kids prefer to know all the details of a new experience, she thinks a less-is-more approach to preparing her kindergartner is the way to go. With sign-ups for day and sleepaway programs under way, she’s not the only parent looking ahead to easing that transition. “Instead of filling his head with all of the things that he’s going to be doing that would ordinarily get somebody excited, he might back away and decide it doesn’t sound like fun,” said Friis, who lives in Commack, New York. “It took him a few weeks to get used to the idea of a fire drill at school, with the loud noises and everything, and now he’s OK because he knows what it is.” Camp directors and consultants think there’s no one way to prep new campers since a child’s personality and the care taken in choosing a camp play key roles, but there are things parents should avoid doing and saying. Never, for example, promise a child heading off to sleepaway camp for the first time that they’ll be picked up early if they get homesick. “What is it that you’re sending them to camp for? A lot of kids come to camp and they really don’t know why they’re here.” — David Seddon “Kids shouldn’t go into it with the feeling that they have an out. Start with an attitude of excitement and enthusiasm and confidence,” said Laurie Kaiden, who calls herself a Campcierge for her work connecting parents with the Maine Camp Experience, a group of 32 camps there. She’s also a mom. Her 9-yearold daughter went to sleepaway for the first time last summer without a hitch and her 6-yearold daughter attends a day camp that requires a 45-minute bus ride each way. For the long bus ride, she recalls packing an extra snack for the return trip home, assuring her daughter that she was going to have a great time, and that’s about it. “My kids didn’t have a transition problem and I think the reason is because it’s all been a transition. Before they went to the day camp that’s 45 minutes away they went to a local camp that was five or 10 minutes away, that I drove them to.” Kaiden’s oldest had the benefit of a “sleep week” at her day camp before heading off to overnight camp the following summer. The family also stepped up her sleepovers at friends’ homes. Trial or introductory programs are a good idea for parents who aren’t sure whether their kids will do well in a day program or far from home. Many sleepaway camps offer “taster” sessions of one to two weeks. David Seddon is a former camp counselor who trains staff and works with parents as director of the Frost Valley YMCA sleepaway camp program for younger kids, in Claryville, New York. He recommends a one-week trial session for first-timers. Whether it’s taking on a new activity or trying a new food, Seddon said parents should talk with kids before the season starts about what they expect from them. “What is it that you’re sending them to camp for? A lot of kids come to camp and they really don’t know why they’re here,” he said. Parents also should realize that kids might end up liking things at camp that they wouldn’t try at home, Seddon said. “Sometimes we get a camper information form that says he won’t eat anything and then he gets to camp and he eats everything. They go home with a completely different diet just because they’ve been away from their parents and tried new things,” he said. Seddon agreed that “overtalking” the details ahead of time — how many activities are crammed into a day, say, or what the showers are like — might create undue anxiety. Logistics will work themselves out with the help of counselors, he said. And lots of camps try to create some familiarity for new- comers through videos, home visits and group meet-ups. Lindsay Davis, who works with sick kids and their families as a certified child life specialist at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx, has chaperoned young sickle-cell patients at a camp in Ashford, Connecticut, called Hole in the Wall Gang. She suggests that parents be as detailed as possible on camp forms that ask them to describe their kids. Perhaps most importantly, she advises: “Remind (kids) there is no right or wrong way to experience camp. Their job is to just relax and have fun.” PAY NO JOINING FEE DURING APRIL!

Camps for the kid who loves science, tech, engineering and math The Associated Press For kids whose dream summer camp involves more coding than canoeing, more technology than tennis and more science than swimming, STEM summer camps — once considered a contradiction in terms — are popular and plentiful. The camps, ranging from private half-day camps for younger children to longer sleep-away camps for teenagers, cater to kids who are passionate about STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math) or who just love immersing themselves in projects involving thinking creatively and problem-solving. “We’re definitely seeing a lot more summer programs that focus on science, technology, engineering and math, and also programs that combined those elements with art,” said Kathy Heraghty, program director and founder of Destination Science, based in Orange, California. The group, which began in California in 2000, now runs summer camps for children ages 5 to 11 in five states. “The education system is slowly coming around to putting more emphasis on the sciences, and parents are also beginning to change some pretty old-fashioned ideas about summer camps and also about science, which is about way more than data and Bunsen burners,” she said. STEM-oriented summer camps often include more traditional summer pursuits like swimming and crafts, but the focus is on the fun of “thinking like a scientist” in more depth than is often possible during the school year. “We focus on things that are playful and fun and that kids can connect to, like building a really cool car with a solar cell,” Heraghty said. “This summer we are introduc- ing a Super Heroes camp that takes a closer looks at bats and spiders and things like warp speed. And robotics and robots are also always exciting to kids.” The camps cost $379 per week for full day camp, with discounts available to those who register early and some scholarships available. For older kids looking for a sleep-away experience, options include BEAM Camp, in Stafford, New Hampshire, which offers three-and-a-half-week camps for kids ages 10 to 17. “We’re a camp about making things and bringing ideas to life,” said co-founder Brian Cohen, who shuns the STEM label because, he said, the emphasis should be on the human side of things and “fashioning physical reality,” not on abstract concepts. “We give kids the experience of making a big idea happen on their own. Last summer, the kids in one session built a 30-foot kaleidoscope, and another session built a boat powered by a human-size hamster wheel,” he said. In addition to building and problem-solving, campers swim daily and spend time with chefs, artists, architects and engineers to help broaden their ideas about creative career options. The camps, open to boys and girls, have a hefty $5,200 price tag, but Cohen said about 40 percent of campers receive partial or full scholarships. Emagination, a much larger summer camp focusing on coding, game design and other computer skills, offers day camp and sleep-away options for kids ages 8 to 17 in five major cities in the Midwest and on the East Coast. Camps range in price from $845 per week for day camp to almost See STEM, Page 44 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — There are many firsts to be discovered on a trip to the new YMCA summer camp at Horsethief Reservoir in the mountains of central Idaho. A first encounter with a campfire, perhaps. A first night in bunk beds with cabin-mates, telling ghost stories in the dark. That first plunge off the dock into the cool waters of the reservoir. And for many kids, the first day without any electronic devices, because they all had to be handed over to the counselors when campers boarded the bus to the mountains. YMCA summer camps have been around for more than a century, and they still provide the basics — the archery, canoeing, crafts and obstacle courses — that the organization believes kids need to grow into adults who appreciate and love the outdoors. “What we are here for is to get kids into an outdoor setting that can help them develop the skills and tools they need to live,” said Laura Mahan, executive director of the Boise YMCA’s summer camp at Horsethief Reservoir. She doesn’t mean wilderness survival skills, although those are also taught here. “We are really focused on relationships and character development, and we use the outdoor setting for that,” Mahan said. The 400-acre Horsethief, which opened in 2010 about 100 miles northeast of Boise, is one of more than 300 overnight YMCA camps around the country, and the first new one west of the Mississippi in 50 years. Boise has had other YMCA camps since 1905. Nearly 200,000 American children and teenagers attend YMCA camps each summer, said John Duntley, senior camping specialist at the YMCA of the USA in Chicago. Most YMCA camps are in the Northeast. The average cost is about $600 per week, Duntley said, and financial aid is available. (Horsethief Reservoir is $500 a week.) Many YMCAs also offer day camps. All YMCA camps, Duntley said, are built around the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. “Those values cross all religions and ethnicities and are universal to all people,” said Jim Everett, CEO of the Treasure Valley Family YMCA and a force behind the creation of the Horsethief camp. “It’s about, ‘What is my responsibility to the greater good?’” The YMCA’s Camp Dudley in Massachusetts lays claim to Y Day Camp begins May 26 When school is out, the YMCA has day camps that can help “ignite” your child’s summer. The camp experience at the Y includes field trips, daily swimming, arts and crafts and outdoor educational opportunities. Th first day of Summer Day Camp is May 26. Designed for ages 5 to 10 and teen camp ages 11 to 15, the Day Camp will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Summer camps include: Ignite your Summer, May 2529, offers outdoor games, crafts, sports and a variety of “get to know you” activities. Pay it Forward, June 1 through 5, focuses on games and activities on the environment and its impact. Talent Week is June 8 through 12. World Traveler Camp is June 16 through 20. Attendees will be able to “let our imaginations run wild with fun outdoor games.” Mad Science Week is June 22 through 26. This week will feature adventures that include leaf collections, baking soda volcanoes and a Science Zone presentation. Great Outdoors Camp will be June 30 through July 3. See Y, Page 44 being the oldest continuously operating summer camp in the United States. It started in 1885, said Tom Holland, a spokesman for the American Camp Association, which accredits more than 2,400 camps around the country. Everett said he enjoys seeing children from different backgrounds meet on equal ground at Horsethief Reservoir. “You have children from migrant worker families and kids who live in a mansion,” he said. “It gives kids an appreciation for what others do have. It’s the most level playing field on the planet.” Another valued lesson is selfsufficiency. “One of the first things we do is dismantle a bike, so if your chain pops off on the trail, you know how to put it on. You’re not like, ‘My dad’s not here, what do I do?’” said counselor Travis Miller, Horsethief’s adventure camp coordinator. Although many camps offer the simple, traditional and electronics-free activities offered by Y camps, the YMCA name helps parents know what they’re going to get. “They all have a curriculum they adhere to,” said Jill Tipograph, a Manhattan-based summer-camp consultant who works with parents. “So there’s an understanding for parents that if they send their child to a Y camp they’re going to have kind of a classic experience. It’s a brand, so they can feel confident that their child will get that experience.” Electronics-free summer camps are “very much in vogue right now,” Tipograph said. “I get calls from parents saying to me, ‘I need to get my child unplugged, I need him to learn how to communicate.’” At Horsethief, electronic devices are returned to kids at the end of the stay, which is usually a week. “We do not usually have parents who object, although a parent has been known to hide a cell phone in a camper’s luggage ‘just in case’ they need to call home,” said Mahan. “Most parents see it as a great thing.... “The teens, on the other hand, are pretty crafty at trying to sneak them in,” she said. “We confiscate them as quickly as we find them.” To help develop cooperation and character, kids at Y camps share small cabins where they can learn to resolve personality differences. “When you’re living in a small group setting and you have a dis- Reuse the News Recycle this newspaper agreement with another kid, you have to talk about it. We help you with the tools for resolving it,” Mahan said. For Everett, Idaho’s wilderness also plays a key role. He likes to take groups hiking at night to a place where they can turn off their headlamps and lie on huge rocks, gazing at the stars. “The kids are a little nervous at first,” he said. “Nobody is saying anything; nobody wants to break that silence. “How often do you get to just sit and look at the magnificent sky and think, ‘Wow’? To me, that’s part of counting your blessings, which we do a lot at camp.” —To find a YMCA camp: http://www.ymca.net/find-ay-camp SUMMER CAMPS – AT – BAY VIEW RIDING ACADEMY 2015 Summer Camp Schedule: • Beginner Rider Camp (English & Western) June 1-5 • Beginner Rider Camp (English & Western) June 8-12 • All Abilities Camp for Riders with Disabilities June 23-25 • Western Camp July 6-10 • Intermediate Rider Camp/ Clinic July 13-17 Offered throughout the year, a variety of camps and clinics are available to all ages.

She missed simply being alone in her bedroom. “I was really, really homesick,” Lily recalled of her “painful” first half of a four-week session at Sanborn Western Camps: High Trails Ranch for Girls in Florissant, Colorado. “It was kind of scary at first because I had never been away from home before for that long.” Lily got through her homesickness with the help of friends, experienced campers who promised it would get better, and her counselors, and by pushing herself to focus on having fun in the present rather than dwelling on home. “I set a goal for myself not to cry for five days,” she said. “I kept thinking about my mom and dad, and by thinking of them, I wasn’t having any fun because I kept crying all the time.” Lily proudly held in her tears and began having such a good time that by the last day, she didn’t want to leave. “It was the best experience after those two weeks,” she said. As hard as it may feel for campers — and parents who receive their tear-stained letters home — homesickness may be as common at sleepaway camp as sunscreen and color war. “Homesickness is a perfectly normal human emotion,” said clinical psychologist Dr. Michael Thompson, whose book “Homesick and Happy” (Random “Homesickness can be intense, but it’s not lethal.” — Dr. Christopher Thurber House, 2012) reflects his belief that children can feel both while away at camp. “It means you have a home worth missing.” Overcoming homesickness and spending time away from parents helps children gain self-assurance and independence, experts say. “It inoculates them against future bouts of intense homesickness, like freshman year in college or the next year of camp, and it can teach them emotionregulation skills that will be helpful throughout their lives,” says Dr. Christopher Thurber, a clinical psychologist who has researched homesickness and worked at camps for three decades. Homesickness is often a longing for Mom and Dad, but can also be for a pet or pillow, home cooking or an activity like screen time. “Just about everybody misses something about home,” Thurber says. His research found that about 95 percent of kids who spent a week or two at an overnight camp felt homesick at least once, feelings so mild they might not have even called them “homesickness.” About 20 percent had moderate to severe homesickness, while 7 percent suffered the most intense homesickness, with possible signs of anxiety or depression, he said. “Most of the kids who are bothered by it learn to cope with it — that’s a confidence-builder,” Thurber said. “For the few who experience it quite intensely, the staff are there to coach them through it.” There are steps parents can take to reduce the risk. Before camp, talk with kids about the possibility of homesickness and offer ideas for feeling better, like talking to a counselor or writing a letter home. “Many parents don’t want to bring it up because they think it will make it worse, but this is naive,” said Thompson, also a consultant to numerous overnight camps. Lynda Bekore sent her 9-yearold son to camp in New Jersey for the first time five years ago with a way to feel close to home if he was homesick: Just before lights out, she said, look at the moon, and she would do the same. Her son sounded homesick in his first letter, said Bekore, of Merrick, New York: “I’m having a good time. At night I’m looking at the moon.” Several weeks later on visiting day, she was relieved that he had forgotten all about the moon and had needed to gaze upward only the first few nights. Thurber suggests three more tips for parents: — Let children practice being away from home by planning sleepovers with friends and grandparents (no texting or calling). — Get the kids involved in planning and packing for camp so they feel ownership over the experience. — Don’t agree to pick them up early if they ask to be rescued at the first pang of sadness. “Parents need to say, ‘No. Absolutely not,’” Thurber said. “That might seem like tough love but it’s the very message kids need to hear. ‘This is your experience. You’re not going to be rescued.’” Some kids do leave camp early, and before that decision is made, Thompson suggests parents rely on the advice of the camp director. For these campers, their time at camp should be celebrated, rather than viewed as a failure. Lily wrote her parents asking to go home, but they had agreed beforehand that was not an option. Reassured by the camp that her daughter was having fun, Lisa Becker, who attended the camp as a girl, was proud of Lily for sticking it out, and said her daughter returned with a new sense of independence and appreciation for home. “She had a lot to overcome,” Becker said. “She was super sad, and I think it was a big accomplishment for her.” Ariella Rogge, a director at Sanborn, says that even kids who are excited about being at camp “are still going to have moments they’re just blue,” Rogge said. “There’s that moment, and they write about it. Part of that coping skill is to write about it.” Making a friend, mastering a skill and the simple passage of time can help cure homesickness. “They develop competence in camp living, which gives them confidence in themselves and their ability to live without the help of their parents,” Rogge said. Parents of children struggling with homesickness should respond “in a positive, optimistic way,” Thurber advises, and avoid sharing their own anxieties. “Homesickness can be intense,” he says, “but it’s not lethal.” Wacky events shake up the daily routine at summer camp The Associated Press Summer camp means color wars, campfires and friendly competitions. But at many camps, daily routines get a jolt every now and then with wacky events, from pies in the face to applesauce wrestling. In addition to the surprise element and sheer fun, there’s a psychology behind these once-asummer happenings. Camps nowadays are attended by kids used to compelling forms of entertainment, from videogames to interactive theme park rides, so some try to make memories beyond the silly traditions, creative themes and daily activities that have historically shaped the Sports camps CSCC CAMPS Cleveland State Baseball Coach Mike Policastro will conduct the following summer Baseball Camps: Youth Skills Camp, June 1-4 for ages 5 - 12. Camp hours are 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Campers will participate in group instruction and participate in a game each day. The cost is $80 and includes a camp T-shirt. Youth Pitcher/Catcher Camp, June 8-10 from 911:30 a.m., and a Youth Hitting Camp, June 22-24 from 9-11:30 a.m. Both camps will be for ages 8See CAMPS, Page 44 camp experience. “How fun can you make camp? How out of the box can it be?” says Lori Waldman, co-owner of Camp Blue Ridge near Dillard, Georgia. Here are a few examples of offthe-wall events staged now and then to shake things up at summer camps. TAPED TO THE WALL On Crazy Feats Day at Camp Blue Ridge, campers are divided into teams and given supplies, including a few rolls of duct tape, along with a series of tasks. They don’t get detailed instructions — just a clue about what’s expected. For example, they might be told to create Toby Maguire’s protege — hint “Spider-Man”. If they’re smart, they’ll choose the lightest person on their team to tape to the wall like Spider-Man. FESTIVUS Fans of the TV show “Seinfeld” will remember Festivus, an alternative to celebrating Christmas. At Maine Teen Camp in Porter, Maine, it’s an alternative to color war. “The idea is not for us to define precisely what needs to happen, but instead, allow staff and campers to come up with a fun theme for a day-long carnival and feast,” explained co-director Matthew Pines. Themes have included NASA, zombies and superheroes. A “wheel of misfortune” offers random campers and staff “such wonderful prizes” as a pie in the face, getting drenched by a waterfall (water poured off a balcony) or a surprise party, with confetti blown from a leaf-blower. You might be covered with chocolate syrup or paint — to be washed off by a dunk in the lake — before taking part in sports and game competitions, followed by an evening banquet of, what else?, lobster (this is Maine). MUD BATH “Everyone likes playing in the mud,” says Driftwood Day Camp owner Mike Wagenberg. So once a year, the camp fills an outdoor inflatable skating rink with truckloads of dirt, adds water, and invites campers and staff to jump in. When it’s over, you get hosed down. Related events at the camp, located in Melville, N.Y., have included applesauce wrestling and a “Tough Mudder” course with obstacles including a mud run. PIE IN THE FACE Jodi Turk’s twins have summer birthdays. Here’s what sold them on attending Camp Echo: On your birthday, you get to pie any counselor you want in the face while the rest of the camp chants “Pie in the face! Pie in the face!” Oh, and there’s also a cake for your cabin, and the whole camp sings “Happy Birthday.” But the pie’s the highlight, especially since the moment is recorded with a photo that gets hung in the dining hall. Those getting pied can choose between whipped cream or shaving cream. “After a while, the staff began to realize there’s no bigger compliment than getting picked for a pie in the face,” said Jeff Grabow, director of the camp in Bloomingburg, New York. “It’s not a vengeance thing. We can tell who the best counselors are because their pictures are on that wall of fame.” Summer Art Camps at lil’ kids camp, fine art camp, and more! visit create-celebrate.com or call 339-4700 for more info. ning Center Waterville Baptist SELe•ar 476-0263 4555 Dalton Pike Now Enrolling Risin g K-12 year old Sum mer Camp 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Starts June 1 10 Week Camp Breakfast/Lunch/Snacks Provided Call for Details.

Lee’s Tagayuna and Coleman present research at conference Dr. Arlie Tagayuna, an assistant professor of sociology at Lee, and Devonte Coleman, a senior sociology major, recently presented research at the 2015 meeting of the Southern Sociological Society. The meeting took place in New Orleans. Their presentation, titled “From Rap to Lap: A Discourse Analysis of Rap Music in the Promotion of Sex Trafficking,” explored how the burgeoning of contemporary rap music facilitates a culture of sexual exploitation of women, particularly in the field of sex trafficking. “I think this is a prime example of student-professor collaboration,” said Tagayuna. “I always come to the table with my students knowing that they can be experts on something, and I could learn more in the process.” Tagayuna and Coleman’s research delved into a discourse analysis of 150 rap songs from 1998 to 2014 in seeking a grounded theory from lyrics and its presentation in music television. According to their research, since rap music’s creation in the late 1980s, themes and subjects of most of the lyrics have now shifted to social deviance and crime. The project sought to answer the question, “How does rap music facilitate the promotion of sex trafficking?” Furthermore, the analysis ventured into the subliminal mechanisms of different ways women are presented in the media and how these intersect with race and social class. “This project was engineered with Devonte’s expertise in rap music and my interest in human trafficking,” said Tagayuna. “I firmly believe that pedagogical practice can be rewarding if you are able to motivate students in active learning.” For more information about Lee’s sociology program, contact the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at (423) 6148125. The Lee University Bateman Team’s statewide campaign for Home Matters received an honorable mention as a part of the Public Relations Student Society of America’s (PRSSA) National Bateman Competition. The team, named “423 PR,” consisted of senior public relations majors Megan Ash, Allie Cable, Megan Jafari, and Katelyn Tresh. PRSSA holds the Bateman Team Competition every year. It is a competition in which approximately 70 universities and colleges select four or five students to participate to create a complete public relations campaign for a national client. The teams are required to research, plan, implement and evaluate their campaign during the school year, and turn in their submission to national PRSSA for judging. The challenge is that every team has only the month of February to implement their campaign. This year, the national client was Home Matters, a coast-tocoast coalition that seeks to partner with organizations that strive to promote the five foundations of a home, which are Health, Education, Stable Economy, Individual Success, and Public Safety. There have been nine Bateman teams from Lee since 2003 with one team winning a 4th place nationally and five receiving Honorable Mentions. "I am so proud to be awarded the fifth honorable mention in Lee’s history," Jafari said. “Our team worked extremely hard to implement a professional, successful campaign, and I’m so glad the judges recognized that.” The Lee team held a statewide public relations campaign titled “Be a Neighbor. Be a Volunteer. Be Tennessee.” They partnered with all five existing Home Matters affiliates in the state of Tennessee and obtained six more as a result of the campaign. This raised organizational Home Matters partnerships in Tennessee by 120 percent. The affiliates in Tennessee now include Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise in Chattanooga; Knox Housing Partnership and Restoration House in Knoxville; Affordable STEM From Page 42 $3,000 for some two-week programs. As with many science camps, some scholarships are available. “STEM summer camps are wilderness exploration, but in the wilderness of exploration and inquiry,” said Meg Kaufer, president of the STEM Alliance of Larchmont and Mamaroneck, New York, one of a growing number of grassroots organizations helping promote STEM activities in and out of schools. One of Kaufer’s sons attended a high-school-level summer sleep-away camp at Brown University involving 3D printers and bronze casting. One of her daughters attended an all-girls robotics day camp for seventh graders. “Do it yourself does not mean do it alone, and for a lot of kids who are used to tinkering solo, having a rare chance to explore science with people who think the same way really helps them form a social identity,” she said. “That can be truly transformational.” —www.ScienceBuddies.org lists a wide range of summer science Sports From Page 43 16.

Jasper — The Tennessee river Gorge Trust, The Land Trust for Tennessee, The Conservation Fund, Harvey Cameron and The southeastern Climbers Coalition have announced Castle rock, Marion County’s most iconic view as well as a renowned rock climbing venue, will be protected and accessible for generations to come. The Land Trust for Tennessee holds a conservation easement on the 30-acre Castle rock property that will protect it in perpetuity while allowing access for recreational use. Through a lease agreement with the Tennessee river Gorge Trust, The southeastern Climbers Coalition will continue to manage the property for rock climbing enthusiasts and other recreational needs, which it has done since 2005. Castle rock sits atop the Cumberland plateau in Marion County. The forested property contains nearly a half mile of bluff line, clearly visible from the valley below, which is popular among local and visiting rock climbers. The south-facing sandstone turret forming the bluff offers breathtaking views of the scenic sequatchie Valley. The Castle rock property was previously jointly owned by Harvey Cameron, an attorney from Jasper, and the late Bud (sam) Werner, an honored veteran and conservationist. Werner’s ownership was bequeathed to The Conservation Fund, a national organization dedicated to creating land and water protection strategies that balance environmental stewardship with economic vitality. Together, the Fund and Cameron donated Castle rock to the Tennessee river Gorge Trust. Thanks to the hard work of The southeastern Climbers Coalition, Castle rock, portions of which rise up to 120 feet, are now marked and equipped with nearly 100 sport and traditional climbing routes. The crag is known for having one of the hardest routes in Tennessee (apes on acid 5.13d) offering a challenge to even advanced climbers. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, April 19, 2015—49 George Gray Allstate has newly renovated office ALLSTATE’s newly renovated office is located on Keith Street near the Greenway. Open house planned Thursday, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. By TONY EUBANK Banner Staff Writer George Gray Allstate is gearing up for an open house on Thursday, April 23. The open house will be the debut of the recently remodeled office. The renovation began in October of last year, with S and J Construction contracted to the work. Owner and insurance broker, George Gray stated that when he bought the building in June of last year it was actually a commercial duplex. Gray said about 900 square feet of the building used to be a check cashing business and his office occupied the other 1200 of the 2,100 square foot building. “I’m about what I perceive to be, halfway through my career so it was just time to freshen up and get ready for the next half,” said Gray. Gray, whose office now occupies the Banner Photo, TONY EUBANK GEORGE GRAY and staffer Dawn Harp are ready to help clients with their insurance needs.

Benjamin Cleveland Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution held its Annual Meeting at the Elks Club at 235 2nd St, downtown Cleveland. At 6:30 p.m., President Bob George called the meeting to order. The Invocation was given by Chaplain Joe White, followed by the pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag led by Sam Allen, the pledge to the Tennessee flag led by John Clines Jr., and the pledge to the SAR flag led by Shawn Pritchett. The visitors were welcomed and recognized, among them Chaplain Joe White’s parents, Joe and Penny, and his daughter Whitney. Also the entire Clines family as follows: The below relationship is to chapter secretary, John A. Clines: John T. Clines, his uncle; Carl E. Clines, his uncle and uncle’s wife, Keiko Tachikawa; Warren L. Clines, his uncle; Earl W. Clines and Betty, his uncle and aunt; Chris Nummer and her daughter Alice Woodward, his aunt and cousin; Gerri Darling and her sons Chris and Noah, his sister and nephews; Cindy McDaniel and her son Adam Arant, his sister and nephew; and Troy Clines, his brother. Also present were regular chapter members John A. Clines and John A. Clines, Jr., and wives Vicki and Traci. Second Vice President Jerry Venable introduced the program which was a performance by the Ringgold (Ga.) High School Junior ROTC silent drill team. Their instructor, Sgt. 1st Class Joey Sisemore, spoke on the accomplishments of this drill team. Sisemore said when he took over the unit, the drill team hadn’t won any serious completion meets in over seven years, and told how he had turned the unit around to where they are now well respected, not just in the Saturday, MAY 9th, 2015 Beginning at 10:30 AM PREVIEW Sunday, May 3 from 1-3 Friday, May 8 from 10-4 Nice 3 Bedroom Home & Extra Lot on the Beautiful Hiwassee River in Bradley County 916 Eads Bluff Road NW Georgetown, TN 37336 Beautiful Home on River • Bradley County • Good Water • Covered Boat Dock • Boat Ramp • 3 Bedrooms • 3 Baths • Unfinished Basement with Garage • Hardwood Flooring • Granite Counter Tops • Roof & Central H&A, 2 years old • Sunroom with Beautiful River Views DIRECTIONS: From I-75, Exit 25, travel west onto Georgetown Rd (Hwy 60), turn right onto Eureka Rd, AUCTION PREVIEW travel 5.5 miles, turn left onto Lower River Rd, travel Sunday, May 3 from 1 to 3 pm less than one mile, turn right onto Eads Bluff Road.

The silent drill team consisted initially of three cadets performing together, Tavian Henson, Dawson Norfolk and Nick Woods, with the fourth, who is a national winner Eric Cromwell, performed singly. They performed outside the Elks Lodge on the grass, with the three initially performing as a group with their rifles, doing very difficult acts and getting much applause for their performance. Cromwell performed harder acts with his rifle than the others, which thrilled all present. SFC Sisemore said the team was scheduled to perform again in Daytona, and that a government agency has paid for them to the enter the competition, but not for transportation or other accommodations while there. President George had chapter treasurer Bill Hamilton pass the hat, in which members and guests contributed generously. President George recessed the meeting, for one of Chip Taylor’s fine meals.

They thanked all who assisted them becoming members, and told interesting facts and experiences about themselves. One interesting fact was that one of the new members, Dennis Purvis had been the winner of the NSSAR National Orations Contest back in 1993 at the National Congress in Phoenix, Arizona. Two prospective members of the Clines family, Earl W. Clines and Warren L. Clines, are still awaiting approval. They were honored by the chapter as being part of this fine family, and was told by Evans that they would be considered sworn-in as soon as they were approved. A Memorial program was conducted by Stan Evans for Jefferson D. Morelock Jr., father of member Jeff Morelock III. Evans read and then presented the Memorial Membership Certificate for his father. Jeff spoke about his father and thanked the chapter for this memorable occasion. Evans next presented Morelock a War Service Medal and certificate, honoring his father’s military service in World War I, and for being a member of Cleveland’s “last man club.” Jeff said the “last man’s club” was started with the founding of the American Legion post in Cleveland in 1913 with most of the members being WWI veterans. Evans presented the Military Service Veterans Corps “Certificate of Patriotism” to Claude T. Hardison Jr., and David L. Hicks. They had previously received the Military Service Medal for their military service. The “Pin the Patriot” program this month was given by the chapter secretary John A. Clines honoring his ancestor, George Cline. This was very appropriate with 18 members of the Clines family present at the meeting. John said his patriot was born as Hans Gorge Klein in 1740 in Postroff, Lorraine, in the northern German-speaking part of France. George Cline arrived with his parents and family in Philadelphia on the ship Phoenix in 1744. They initially settled in Berks County, Pa. George married Susannah Buck, another German immigrant, in 1770 in New York City. They moved to Sunbury, Northumberland County, Pa., and started raising a family. On 4 Nov. 4, 1776, George enlisted in the continental army into the 12th Pennsylvania Regiment. This was also the same day that his third son, Levi, was born. With the 12th Regiment’s headquarters at Amboy, Pa., they were involved in battle engagements at Bound Brook, Brandywine, Monmouth and Germantown. They wintered over at Valley Forge as part of George Washington’s army in the winter of 1777-78. George made corporal, and was made sergeant in Capt. Craig’s Company of the 3rd Regiment under Col. Thomas Craig. His first enlistment was over in January 1781 and his family then moved to Washington County, Pa. In early 1782 he re-enlisting into Washington county, Pa., militia. His unit was believed to have been assigned to defend Fort Henry. With his family in the fort, it was attacked by Indians Sept. 11, BILL HAMILTON received a certificate of appreciation from Claude Hardison for his major assistance with the Tennessee Society Sons of the American Revolution convention.

In 1795 the entire Cline family was living in the Grandview Township of Ohio. George died there in 1801. The Cline family comes through George’s second son, John, who was born in 1772 and married Mary Brown in 1791 in Virginia. He has been recognized as helping defend the fort at Wheeling (now West Virginia) against the notorious Simon Girty. John was pretty active being a Justice of the Peace, a spy, a farmer of hemp, and with his home serving as the site where the first sermon was preached in Jericho, Benton Township, Va. The Cline line from this John to present lived primarily in Indiana and Ohio and then into Michigan for the past three to four generations. Past State President Claude Hardison spoke on the different events of the recent Tennessee Society State Convention which was held in Cleveland March 2829 and among those present from a number of states six national officers, including President General Lindsey Brock and his wife, Billie. He then presented Certificates of Appreciations to President Bob George for the chapter, and one to Bill Hamilton (Perry Skates was not available to receive his). He next presented the McCarthy Demere Membership award and plaque to President George. This was awarded to the chapter that brought in the most new members in the past year, and that was the Col. Benjamin Cleveland Chapter. Stan Evans and Lynn Freeman, the two who made this happen, were recognized. Chapter Secretary John Clines announced the chapter now had its own Facebook page, and reflected a bit on it. President Bob George announced the next meeting will be held on May 14. Lynn Freeman led the Recessional with Chaplain Joe White giving the Benediction. Alzheimer’ Association, Brookdale team for legal, financial workshop THE BRADLEY MEMORIAL Hospital Senior Social Circle, which is made up of former BMH employees and their families, celebrated 15 years of bimonthly luncheons at the Golden Corral on April 8. David May, guest speaker, shared memories of the fire that occurred at BMH on April 5, 1976. AT the time, he was a firefighter with the Cleveland Fire Department. He noted the hospital employees calmly carried out the hospital’s fire plans. The patients were moved from the rooms nearest the fire into the newly constructed third floor, which had not yet been occupied by patients. The floor was scheduled to open April 11, 1976. He noted the fire was quickly extinguished. Eighteen of the 35 people at the luncheon were working at the hospital at the time of the fire. Everyone shared their memories. All former BMH employees are invited to attend the BMH Seniors Social Circle. For information, contact Tommie Vincent at 790-0907. N.Y. woman tackles pothole problem by planting pansies there SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York woman has taken on the post-winter pothole problem in her hometown by filling in the eyesores with pansies. After months of severe weather left the streets of Schenectady pocked with pavement craters and city public works crews scrambling to fix them, some residents began filling in the holes themselves. Elaine Santore decided to take it a step further by dumping dirt and pansies into potholes on two streets. She told The Daily Gazette of Schenectady that she decided to plant the flowers to make a statement about the problem and to make people smile after what she called “a horrible winter.” Of the 10 holes she filled with flowers over three days starting Monday, Santore told The Associated Press on Friday that she believed all have now been fixed by city crews. When she drove past on her way to work, most of the holes had been patched over with blacktop, she said. “I knew something would happen to them,” she said. “Either people would take the flowers or they would be filled in.” Santore, the director of a local not-for-profit organization that helps retirees remain in their homes, said she wanted to do something different to address her city’s annual pothole problem, one that has been particularly widespread thanks to a harsh winter. “The winter was so hard on everybody and so depressing,” she said. “I wanted to do something creative to solve a problem we have every year and bring a smile to people’s faces.” The Alzheimer’s Association and Brookdale Cleveland will host Martin Pierce, attorney and counselor at law, at Brookdale Cleveland to discuss legal and financial planning for area family caregivers of those with dementia. This educational program will be on April 27 at 5:30 p.m. “An Alzheimer’s diagnosis affects every part of a person’s life and planning for the future becomes vitally important,” shared Amy French, manager of programs for the Alzheimer’s Association. “Having the appropriate resources and support on how to plan financially and legally can be of great help to the person with dementia as well as their loved ones.” Topics for this program will include advanced directives, estate planning issues, conservatorships, special needs trusts and Tennessee Medicaid. Caregivers will be provided with resources from Martin Pierce and the Alzheimer’s Association. According to the 2015 Alzheimer’s Association Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, caregiving costs for Tennessee caregivers for those with Alzheimer’s equaled $245 million in 2014. With numbers like this, educational programs provided by the Alzheimer’s Association and local assisted living communities are needed. Embrey Ardis, community liaison for Brookdale Cleveland, is excited to offer this program and information to caregivers. “The goal of our program is to provide answers to caregivers who are concerned about how to plan for the care needs and financial needs of their loved one with dementia, while trying to plan for their own financial future,” Ardis said. Brookdale Cleveland is located at 2745 Executive Park Drive, Cleveland. Refreshments will be provided. This program is free to attend; however, due to limited seating please RSVP at 423-479-8899.

I came to work with them in 1998. They retired in 2001 and I bought them out,” Gay said. Gray explained he had been leasing the building from Creech and Brown up until he bought it last year. Gray also said the building was put in 1986 and was really beginning to show its age, “We really ran out of space, we were really crammed in, but the renovation gives not only the oprottunity to spread out and presume a more professional atmosphere, but we’re pretty well planned for if we have to add another two, three, four employees.

Institute. In a survey of employers last fall, the employment center found that hiring of graduates with four-year degrees will rise 16 percent this year. “It’s led by the ones you would expect — engineering and business,” Gardner said. “But there seems to be a lot of room for everybody... Even arts and humanities are making a comeback.” Employers have more openings to fill because Baby Boomers are retiring and more workers are feeling confident enough about the economy to switch jobs. Overall, the United States generated 3.1 million jobs last year, the most since 1999. The overall unemployment rate has fallen to 5.5 percent in March from 6.7 percent at the end of 2013. Tyler Etten, 22, had a $54,000a-year job in finance waiting for him when he graduated from Iowa State University in May 2014. Three months later, he bounced to an even better job with the investment firm Piper Jaffray in Minneapolis. His 3.5 grade point average helped. But Etten says he set himself apart by getting internships, participating in campus clubs and spending his spare time learning financial modeling and advanced Excel skills. “A degree is not enough with record amounts of people graduating from college,” he said. In particular, employer demand for so-called STEM graduates — in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — is high. “We can’t graduate enough engineers,” said Holly Proffitt, employer relations coordinator in the career services office at Arkansas State University. Still, many recent college grads are struggling and have yet to enjoy a full recovery from the dark days of the Great Recession. In a report last year, researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco found that wages for recent college graduates haven’t kept up with overall wages since the Ranger Brad Hamby will be at the amphitheatre at 2 p.m. to lead a program on Birds of Prey. He will point out the features of these predators that make them so good at what they do. This is an excellent and enjoyable class for all ages. The grand finale is a hike at 3 p.m. Interested individuals should meet at the Ranger Office. A 10-mile drive will be made to the John Muir trailhead, where hikers will proceed at a leisurely pace along the scenic Hiwassee River. This will give you an excellent opportunity to polish those new photography skills, or to get a little more time in with your plant identification. What type of bird just passed overhead? Armed with all of the knowledge gained throughout the weekend, this may be a completely different hike than any you have taken before. Police: Drunken woman arrested for letting 10-year-old drive MEMPHIS(AP) — Police in Memphis have arrested a woman who they say was drunk and allowed a 10-year-old girl to drive. The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports 35-year old Laura Eugenia Smith faces multiple charges, including DUI, child endangerment and public intoxication. In an affidavit, police say a witness noticed the girl driving Smith's car with Smith sitting in the passenger seat. The witness followed the vehicle into an auto parts store parking lot. The witness said Smith got out of her car and pepper sprayed him as he called police. Don’t panic, college seniors: Jobs for grads likely to grow WASHINGTON (AP) — The consulting and accounting firm EY is aggressively recruiting on college campuses this spring. The company formerly known as Ernst & Young plans to hire 9,000 graduates from U.S. universities this year, up from 7,500 in 2014. But recruiting isn’t as easy as it used to be. “I’m seeing a lot more competition” from rival employers, says Dan Black, EY’s Americas recruiting leader. That’s good news for college seniors and graduate students preparing to accept diplomas this spring, and a sign that new graduates will fare better than they did in 2014. The Labor Department reported on Thursday that the unemployment rate for Americans in their 20s who received a four-year or advanced degree last year rose to 12.4 percent from 10.9 percent in 2013. “This is a real breakout year,” said Philip Gardner, director of Michigan State University’s Collegiate Employment Research ty to see some of the fish that we share the river with and learn a little more about their world.

Between 2007 and 2014, median wages for all full-time workers rose 15 percent. For recent college grads, they rose just 6 percent. The same thing happened after the 2001 recession: College grads’ wages lagged behind everyone else’s as the economy recovered, the report said. The Michigan State survey found that 62 percent of employers were planning to keep starting wages flat for college grads compared to last year; 37 percent planned to increase starting salaries. The increases tended to range from 3 percent to 5 percent. Elizabeth Earl, 22, landed a job at a health care trade publication after graduating from Columbia College Chicago in December.

On 20th anniversary Original aP report of Oklahoma bombing EDITOR’S NOTE: On April 19, 1995, a former U.S. Army soldier parked a rented Ryder truck packed with explosives outside a federal building in Oklahoma City. The blast killed 168 people and injured more than 500 others, and the attack is the worst homegrown terror attack on American soil. The bombing came only two years after the first attack on the World Trade Center. Former U.S. soldier Timothy McVeigh was convicted on 11 counts of murder, conspiracy and using a weapon of mass destruction in the blast, and was later executed. Another ex-soldier, Terry Nichols, was convicted on similar charges for his role in the bombing and sentenced to life without parole, because the jury deadlocked on the death penalty. The two were motivated by contempt for government, the hatred sharpened by the 1993 federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. Twenty years later, the AP is making the original story and photographs available. —— OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A car bomb ripped deep into America’s heartland Wednesday, killing at least 33 people and leaving 200 missing in a blast that gouged a nine-story hole in a federal office building. The dead included at least 12 youngsters, some of whom had just been dropped off by their parents at a day-care center. The government had received calls from six people saying they were from different Muslim groups, asserting they were responsible for the deadliest U.S. bombing in 75 years. “But there is no way to know if the calls are genuine,” said a Justice Department official, who declined to be identified by name. “They could be hoaxes.” At least 200 people were injured — 58 critically, according to Fire Chief Gary Marrs. Scores were feared trapped in the rubble of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. “I was in Japan for the Kobe earthquake and saw the devastation,” said James Lee Witt, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “The area impacted here is just as bad, if not worse.” AP photo AP photo In thIs APrIl 19, 1995 file photo, an unidentified woman calls out to friends as she waits for treatment, following a car bomb blast at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. The blast killed 168 people — including 19 children — injured hundreds more and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to structures and vehicles in the downtown area. Three people were pulled from the rubble Wednesday night but two died a short time later, said Assistant Fire Chief Jon Hansen. He said a 15-year-old girl was taken from the building in critical condition. He also said a woman trapped in the basement said there were two others with her. She didn’t know if they were dead or alive. The death toll was certain to rise. “Our firefighters are having to crawl over corpses in areas to get to people that are still alive,” said Hansen. The first of four urban search and rescue units activated by the federal government was headed into the building early Thursday, using dogs, acoustic listening equipment and tiny cameras to look for victims. Attorney General Janet Reno refused to comment on who might have been behind the attack. President Clinton called the bombers “evil cowards,” and Reno said the government would seek the death penalty against them. A Department of Public Safety dispatcher in El Paso, Texas, told the El Paso Times that an alert had been issued from the DPS for two people who may be bloodied and may be trying to cross into Mexico at Laredo, Texas. The bulletin said the information was on the authority of the FBI. The bomb was believed to be in a minivan with Texas plates, owned by National Car Rental, said Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Kim Hughes. An axle of the vehicle was found about two blocks from the scene, said a police source who requested anonymity. Their clothes torn off, victims covered in glass and plaster emerged bloodied and crying from the building, which looked as if a giant bite had been taken out of it, exposing its floors like a dollhouse. Cables and other debris dangled from the floors like tangled streamers in a scene that brought to mind the car bombings at the U.S. Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983. “I dove under that table,” said Brian Espe, a state veterinarian who was giving a slide presenta- AP photo In thIs APrIl 19, 2005 file photo, people visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial site on the 10th anniverary of the federal building bombing where 168 people were killed.

He said the vehicle had been outside, in front of the building. “Obviously, no amateur did this,” Gov. Frank Keating said. “Whoever did this was an animal.” Police Sgt. Bill Martin said that 12 of those killed were children. Earlier in the day, paramedic Heather Taylor said 17 children were dead at the scene, a figure later disputed by police. Dr. Carl Spengler, one of the first doctors at the scene, said the children, all at the day-care center, ranged in age from 1 to 7, and some were burned beyond recognition. About 20 of 40 children in the day-care center were missing late in the day. The search continued after nightfall, with about 100 Oklahoma Army National Guard soldiers activated to help with rescue and security operations in the downtown area. The explosion, similar to the terrorist car bombing that killed six people and injured 1,000 at New York’s World Trade Center in 1993, happened just after 9 a.m., when most of the more than 500 federal employees were in their offices. The blast could be felt 30 miles away. Black smoke streamed across the skyline, and glass, bricks and other debris were spread over a wide area. The north side of the building was gone. Cars were incinerated on the street. People frantically searched for loved ones, including parents whose children were in the building’s day-care center. Christopher Wright of the Coast Guard, one of those helping inside the building, said rescuers periodically turned off their chain saws and prying tools to listen for pleas for help, “but we didn’t hear anything — just death.” “You’re helpless really, when you see people two feet away, you can’t do anything, they’re just smashed,” he said. In thIs APrIl 19, 1995 file photo, people injured in the car bomb blast at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City gather near the explosion site. The blast killed 168 people — including 19 children — injured hundreds more and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to structures and vehicles in the downtown area. Oklahoma City bombing images OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A cargo truck laden with more than two tons of explosives was detonated in front of Oklahoma City’s nine-story federal building on April 19, 1995 — an act of terrorism that at the time was the worst such attack ever committed on U.S. soil. The blast killed 168 people, including 19 children, injured hundreds more and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to structures and vehicles in the downtown area. President Bill Clinton led a memorial service for the victims as the FBI launched a nationwide investigation to find those responsible. Within days, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were arrested and accused of conspiring to destroy the federal building in retribution for the government’s handling of the siege of the Branch Davidian religious group at their compound in Waco, Texas, two years earlier. McVeigh and Nichols were tried and convicted on federal charges, and Nichols was convicted of murder following a separate trial in Oklahoma. McVeigh was sentenced to death and executed and Nichols received multiple life prison sentences. A memorial to the bombing’s victims now sits on the former site of the federal building, and a nearby building that was damaged in the bombing houses an interactive museum. Each year on the bombing’s anniversary, family members of victims, survivors, rescue workers and others return to the memorial for a remembrance ceremony. Doctors had to amputate one woman’s leg to free her. “She was lying underneath a beam. It was obvious that she could not be extracted alive,” said Dr. Andy Sullivan. “The attempt to remove the concrete beams would have caused the rest of the building to collapse. So at that point there was no decision made other than to crawl into the space and perform the amputation to get the patient out.” The building, which opened in 1977, has offices of such federal agencies as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Social Security, Veterans Affairs, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Housing and Urban Development, and a federal employee credit union and military recruiting offices. The bomb was perhaps 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, said John Magaw, ATF director. As for whether his agency suspected terrorists, he told CNN: “I think any time you have this kind of damage, this kind of explosion, you have to look there first.” Bob Ricks, agent in charge of the FBI in Oklahoma, said that there were hundreds of leads and that the bureau was treating them all seriously. “At this point we do not speculate as to who is responsible,” he said. Keating said he was told by the FBI that authorities were initially looking for three people of Middle Eastern descent in a brown pickup truck. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol put out an all-points bulletin for the three, but Keating later downplayed the report, saying it was one of many leads being checked. Keating also said they were checking whether the rental of a vehicle in the Dallas-Fort Worth area was tied to the explosion. Dallas is about 200 miles south of Oklahoma City. The explosion heightened U.S. fears of terrorism. Federal buildings in several cities were evacuated because of bomb threats, and the government ordered tightened security at federal buildings throughout the country. In 1920, a bomb blast in New York’s Wall Street area killed 40 people and injured hundreds.

This iconic Civil War memorial located within Point Park, atop lookout Mountain, last received a thorough cleaning in 1988. The monument was originally erected in 1907. gordon Ponsford, a conservator from Acworth, ga., has been contracted to conduct this current preservation work. His crew has been busy washing all the stone surfaces, re-pointing joints, cleaning and waxing bronze plaques, and inspecting the monument for other repair needs. On Monday, April 20, they are scheduled to bring in a lift to work on the 85-foot tall granite column and bronze statue at the top of the monument. The areas directly surrounding the monument will be temporarily closed to the public while the crew completes their work. The staff wishes to apologize for any inconvenience these activities might cause park visitors. The park is using Point Park entry fee money to cover the $150,000 cost of preserving this important piece of our nation’s history. Money collected by fees has also been used to rehabilitate the Point Park Visitor Center and the Ochs Museum on lookout Mountain. This preservation work is timely as the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park prepares to commemorate its 125th Anniversary later this year, and the National Park Service looks forward to celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2016. ——— www.nps.gov AP photo In thIs APrIl 21, 1995 file photo, Timothy James McVeigh is lead out of the Noble County Courthouse by state and federal law enforcement officials in Perry, Okla., after being identified as a suspect in the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal building.

Oklahoma From Page 53 AP photo In thIs Aug. 9, 2004 file photo, convicted Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, is led from the Pittsburg County Courthouse in McAlester, Okla., after his sentencing in the state’s murder case against him. McVeigh defense archive shows bomber viewed blast as failure AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Timothy McVeigh considered the Oklahoma City bombing a failure because he left the building standing and once suggested the government should pay his defense attorneys $800,000. Documents revealing those things are among the more than 1 million pages the convicted bomber’s former lawyer donated to the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas. The school began assembling the collection in 1998 but it only became fully organized late last year. The executive director of the museum says lawyer Stephen Jones wasn’t comfortable putting the material at an Oklahoma institution, fearing it would be seen as a “shrine” to McVeigh. McVeigh was executed by injection in 2001 for the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people. At the time it was the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Authorities concluded it was the work of “anarchists” and came up with a list of suspects, but all had fled to russia. After Wednesday’s blast, emergency crews set up a first aid center near the federal building, and some of the injured sat on the sidewalks, blood on their heads or arms, awaiting aid. Carole lawton, 62, a HUD secretary, said she was sitting at her desk on the seventh floor when “all of a sudden the windows blew in. It got real dark and the ceiling just started coming down.” She then heard “the roar of the whole building crumbling.” She managed to crawl down some stairs and was not injured. The explosion occurred on the second anniversary of the fiery, fatal ending to the federal siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. That siege began with a raid by ATF agents a month and a half earlier. Oklahoma City FBI spokesman Dan Vogel wouldn’t speculate if there was a connection. The FBI’s offices are about five miles away.

Just by gazing at their owners, dogs can trigger a response in their masters’ brains that helps them bond, a study says.

This two-way street evidently began when dogs were domesticated long ago, because it helped the two species connect, the Japanese researchers say. As canine psychology experts Evan MacLean and Brian Hare of Duke University wrote in a commentary on the work, “When your dog is staring at you, she may not just be after your sandwich.” The new work is the first to present a biological mechanism for bonding across species, said researcher Larry Young of Emory University. Neither he nor the Duke scientists were involved in the study, which is reported in a paper from Japan released Thursday by the journal Science. The brain response is an increase in levels of a hormone called oxytocin (ahk-see-TOH’sin). Studies in people and animals indicate this substance promotes social bonding, such as between parent and infant or between two lovers. One experiment in the new research involved 30 owners and their dogs. Oxytocin levels in the urine of both species were sampled before and after the owners and their dogs spent a half-hour together. Analysis showed that owners whose dogs looked at them longer in the first five minutes had bigger boosts in oxytocin levels. Similarly, dogs that gazed longer got a hormone boost, too. That’s evidently in response to being touched by their owners during the session, one of the study authors, Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University near Tokyo, said in an email. No such result appeared when researchers tried the experiment with wolves. The animals were paired with people who had raised them, although not as pets. The difference suggests dogs started gazing at owners as a social strategy when they became domesticated, rather than inheriting it from their wolf ancestors, researchers said. Another experiment with dogs found they looked at their owners longer if they were given doses of oxytocin, and that the hormone’s levels then went up in their own- ers. But these results appeared only in female dogs; the reason isn’t clear. An oxytocin researcher not connected to the study said previous work had provided bits of evidence that the hormone plays a role in bonding between species, but that the new work is more comprehensive. “It makes very good sense,” said C. Sue Carter, who directs the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. But Clive Wynne of Arizona State University, a psychologist who studies interaction between dogs and people, said he thinks the link to domestication is “barking up the wrong tree.” The study doesn’t provide convincing evidence for that, he said. Emory’s Young, who studies bonding behavior, said the relationship between people and dogs is special. Human love can lose its initial exhilaration over time, he said, but he hasn’t seen that with the dogs he has owned for 10 years. “When I come home from work every day, they are just as excited to see me now as they were when I got them,” Young said. —Online: Science: http://www.sciencemag.org # " + " $ ACCOUNTING CLERK Immediate opening for a Full-time Accounting Clerk.
