ORLANDO SHOOTING
A call for unity in

Gay, Muslim and Latino groups vow to work together,
as mourners gather at vigils held across Maryland
By Scott Dance, Jonathan

The Baltimore Sun
Hundreds of people gathered Monday
night on an empty lot in Baltimore’s
Station North to mourn the lives lost in a
shooting rampage at a gay nightclub in
Orlando, Fla.
“Today, we are all LGBT,” said Jabari
Lyles, president of a community center
that helped to organize the vigil. “It’s times
like these when pride is most important.”
The memorial capped a day when gay,
Latino and Muslim leaders in Maryland
pledged a united front against hatred and
violence. A wide spectrum of community
groups called on the nation to spurn both
the homophobia believed to have motivated the attack and the Islamophobia it could
inspire.
“We are not going to allow this massacre, which is not Islamic, to drive a wedge
between the Muslim and LGBT communities,” said Patrick Paschall, executive

Funding for public health services, libraries and housing inspections will be cut
in next year’s budget to free up more than
$4 million for youth programs, Mayor
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced
Monday.
Members of the Baltimore City Council
had threatened a government shutdown
unless the mayor included the money for
after-school programs and community
schools in her $2.6 billion budget proposal.
Rawlings-Blake released few details of
the new cuts, saying the administration
“sharpened our pencils and made even
more difficult budget cuts that will directly
impact city services” in response to council
leaders.
“Clearly there is little willingness on the
part of the City Council leadership to enter
into good faith negotiations to get things
done,” the mayor said in a statement.
“Instead they have relied on pointless
rhetoric versus meeting their fiscal obligaSee BUDGET, page 11

Porter was called as a

Prosecutors have said Goodson callously

They also allege Goodson gave Gray what’s
known as a “rough ride,” or an intentionally

Aquarium officials say they are looking at sites in Florida and the Caribbean for a
new home for their eight Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.
National Aquarium will move
dolphins to seaside sanctuary
By Lorraine Mirabella
The Baltimore Sun
Baltimore’s National Aquarium will
announce plans this morning to move its
colony of dolphins from its amphitheater pool to the nation’s first oceanside
dolphin sanctuary.
The decision comes after years of
protests by animal activists and others
who consider it inhumane to keep such
large, intelligent animals as performers
in captivity.
The aquarium said it has spent five
years weighing options for the animals,

CSX crews began uncoupling and removing train cars Monday evening from the
Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore, starting the process of clearing a derailment that
shut down freight traffic through the city
earlier in the day.
The Cumberland-bound train was carrying a volatile, flammable chemical when 13
cars went off the rails Monday morning, but
authorities said there were no reports of
leaks or injuries.
Work to clear the tunnel was expected to
take more than 24 hours.
“This is going to be a long operation,” said
Bob Maloney, the city’s emergency management director. “The Fire Department identified there was not an immediate threat to
the public. We still consider that to be the
case. We’re prepared if that changes.”

Suspect faces earlier stabbing charge
Woman accused of killing
mother awaits trial on
charges she stabbed husband
By Alison Knezevich
The Baltimore Sun
The woman accused of fatally stabbing
her mother outside Eastpoint Mall was
awaiting trial on charges she stabbed her
husband in the neck while he slept,
Baltimore County court records show.
Crystal Marie Wagner, 29, is charged
with first-degree murder in the death of
her mother, Malia Delores Wagner, 60, on
Saturday. She is also scheduled to go to
trial in September on charges of attempted
first- and second-degree murder in connection with the stabbing last October of
her husband.
Assistant State’s Attorney Francis Pilarski pointed to that case Monday at a bail
review hearing at District Court in Essex,
where a judge denied bond. Wagner is
being held at the county detention center.
“It’s undoubtedly a no-bail case,” Pilarski said in court.
A public defender representing Crystal
Wagner in the case involving her husband
could not be reached for comment Monday. Wagner does not have an attorney
listed for the case involving her mother.
County police say they have not been
able to determine a motive in the killing of
Malia Wagner.
“Crystal Wagner claims she suffers from
multiple personalities and cannot account
for what one personality does unless she is
‘tuned in’ to that personality,” police wrote
in charging documents. “She claims to be
on several medications for depression,
personality disorder, and being bi-polar.”
Investigators say the Wagners were
leaving the mall Saturday afternoon after
eating at Applebee’s when the daughter
attacked her mother with a knife, stabbing
her several times.
Surveillance footage from the parking
area does not show the entire sequence of
events, but it shows a silver Dodge
Durango appearing to run over Malia
Wagner, according to charging documents.
Police traced the Durango to Malia
Wagner’s home in the 400 block of 52nd
St. in the Colgate area. Blood was found on
the roof of the vehicle and in a wheel well.
Crystal Wagner, who also lived at the
home, was there with other people and
agreed to go to police headquarters in
Towson to be interviewed, charging documents state. During the interview, she
denied going to the vehicle with her
mother after eating at Applebee’s and
denied knowing what happened to her.
In October, she was accused of stabbing
her husband in the neck while he slept on
the couch, court documents show. The
husband told police at the time that she
“suffers from mental disorders and that
she has not been taking her prescribed
medications.”
In that case, Crystal Wagner had been
scheduled to be examined this Thursday
by the state Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene to help determine
whether she was criminally responsible
for her alleged actions and whether she
was competent to stand trial, court documents show.
According to court records, Malia Wagner paid $5,000 to bail her daughter out in
October when she was charged with
trying to kill her husband.

Memories and tears at vigil for
13-year-old victim of fatal shooting
Dozens gather where
DiAndre Barnes killed
By Jonathan Capriel
The Baltimore Sun
Between the two friends, DiAndre
Barnes was the better football player, said
Abdul Sannie.
“He had the best arm. He could throw
very far,” Abdul, 14, said in their West
Baltimore neighborhood. “We used to play
in a big field through those houses.”
But Abdul, who said he had known
DiAndre since he was 5 years old, will
never find out if he could ever match his
friend’s skills. The 13-year-old was gunned
down Saturday morning in West Baltimore, according to police.
Abdul, along with several dozen people
from the community and the Baltimore
Police Department, gathered Monday at
900 Pennsylvania Ave., where DiAndre
was shot, to honor the teen’s memory.
Abdul, who lives a few blocks from
where DiAndre was shot, said he has
become afraid of his own neighborhood.
DiAndre, who attended Booker T.
Washington Middle School, was killed less
than a half-mile from the school, which is
in the same building as Renaissance
Academy High School. He was shot about
1:30 a.m. Saturday, along with a 21-year-old
man who suffered injuries that were not
life-threatening.
Police would not discuss possible suspects or say whether DiAndre was the

target of the attack.
“This happened in a neighborhood that
was a highly populated neighborhood,”
police spokeswoman Detective Nicole
Monroe said. “We have gotten tips, but we
are asking for more.”
DiAndre’s father, Ronnie Barnes, organized the vigil. Standing with his older son,
Ronnie Barnes Jr., he wept as the crowd
prayed.
The killing is a devastating yet familiar
loss for the community.
Ananias Jolley, 17, was stabbed inside
Renaissance Academy in November and
died of his injuries. In January, Renaissance Academy student Darius Bardney,16,
was killed in what police described as an
accidental shooting. The next month, a
former Renaissance student, Daniel Jackson, 17, was killed less than two miles from
the school.

A $28 million renovation of Dumbarton
Middle School in Towson is scheduled to
begin this month — a project officials say
will transform a school that opened 60
years ago into a 21st-century facility.
“It’s an outstanding school,” said Baltimore County Councilman David Marks,
who represents Towson, “but it has these
lingering … issues.”
Dumbarton, built in 1956, occupies a
20.4-acre site in Rodgers Forge. A 2014
facilities audit conducted by the Baltimore
County public school system identified a
number of problems, including a lack of air
conditioning, and general wear and tear.
The renovation, expected to be completed by April 2018, will include installation of central air conditioning, a new
elevator and upgrades to plumbing, as well
as improvements to the health suite, art and
music classrooms, gym activity rooms,
computer labs and administrative offices.
While construction is underway, students will be moved around within the
school campus, said Pete Dixit, the school
system’s director of physical facilities.
Students will leave one part of the building
for a portable building while work is done,
then move back into the renovated section
upon its completion.
The project drew criticism last year from
some members of the Rodgers Forge
Community Association, who objected to
the planned removal of nine large trees on
the school site. That part of the project has
been changed, and the trees will stay.
Baltimore County schools Superintendent Dallas Dance said officials “worked with
the community to make sure the school
system’s needs and the community’s needs
were met.”
Dance said officials will work to minimize community disruption during the
renovation.
The lack of air conditioning in many
Baltimore County public schools has been a
controversial topic in recent months. Dumbarton has been scheduled get central air
conditioning for some time, but for Aimee
Freeman, president of the school PTSA, it
won’t come soon enough. The renovation
will be completed just months before her
son leaves the school.
“I think that it’s a shame that in this day
and age, in 2016, that so many of the schools
in Baltimore County are not air conditioned,” she said. “I think that’s a basic right
of every child.”
Still, Freeman said the administration at
Dumbarton has done a good job of keeping
parents informed about the project.
Schools officials plan to regularly update
the system’s website, bcps.org, with information on the project. Marks said he is
encouraging officials to hold an open house
this summer so residents can ask questions
about the project.
Chesapeake ‘dead zone’ projected at near-average size this year
By Christina Jedra
Scientists estimate the low-oxygen “dead
zone” in the Chesapeake Bay this year will
be roughly the volume of 2.3 million
Olympic-size swimming pools — about
average.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration announced Monday that
the hypoxic, or low-oxygen, zone will be
about 1.58 cubic miles in volume, close to
the long-term average since 1950.
Such low oxygen levels “are insufficient
to support most marine life and habitats in
near-bottom waters and threaten the Bay’s
production of crabs, oysters and other
fisheries,” NOAA said in a statement.
Nitrogen and phosphorus pollution,
which comes in part from sources such as
farm runoff and wastewater, contributes to
algae blooms that are a major cause of such
dead zones. The blooms deplete the water
of oxygen.
There has been a recent trend toward
less hypoxia later in the summer, which
may be the result of reductions in nutrient
pollution, said Donald Boesch, president of
the University of Maryland Center for
Environmental Science.
“But it’s no reason to be complacent — we
have a long way to go to finish the job,”
Boesch said.
The U.S. Geological Survey estimates
that the Susquehanna River contributed
66.2 million pounds of nitrogen to the bay
from January to May, 17 percent below the
average, NOAA said.
“The link between Susquehanna pollu-
tion and the dead zone underscores the
importance of reducing nitrogen pollution
from Pennsylvania,” said Beth McGee, a
senior scientist with Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
She said the foundation “believes that an
average-sized dead zone is still unacceptable. … Pennsylvania and the other bay
states must implement the plans they
developed to reduce pollution and restore
water quality in local rivers, streams and the
Chesapeake Bay.”

Incidents highlight city’s dirt-biker problems
Officials voice frustration
after two injury accidents
By Jesse Coburn
The Baltimore Sun
Wesley Ford heard their engines before
he saw them: a pack of dirt bikers tearing
down East Pratt Street at the Inner Harbor
on Friday night, heading directly for Ford
and his friend.
The light was red, but the riders were
traveling upward of 60 mph, Ford said, and
showed no signs of slowing down.
“I was extremely panicked,” said Ford, 17,
who remembered freezing in the middle of
the crosswalk and covering his head as the
pack raced through the red light.
He came out unscathed, but his friend
was not so lucky. She remained in the
hospital Monday, where she is being treated
for injuries suffered when one of the dirt
bike riders ran into her before speeding off.
In another incident Friday, a driver was
assaulted after colliding with a dirt biker in
Southwest Baltimore, according to police.
The pair of incidents highlight the city’s
continuing struggle to corral dirt bikers,
who regularly ride through the city in large
packs, popping wheelies and flouting traffic
laws.
Dirt bikes are banned on city streets.
City Council members voiced frustration
Monday about the weekend incidents, as
more details became available.
“The dirt bike issue is getting out of
hand,” City Council President Bernard C.
“Jack” Young said.
The woman, an 18-year-old high school
senior from Northern Virginia, suffered a
skull fracture and a traumatic brain injury,
according to her mother, Yvette Coffman.
Her daughter and Ford, who attend high
school together and expect to graduate this
month, were in Baltimore to attend the
Beyonce concert at M&T Bank Stadium.
Coffman, 58, said her daughter will make
a full recovery, but it will take time. She
asked that her daughter not be named for
privacy reasons.
“She has weeks ahead of her,” Coffman
37 Baltimore teens and young
adults to get GED certificates
Program serves students
who had problems in school
By Andrew Dunn
The Baltimore Sun
A city-funded initiative will graduate 37
teenagers and young adults Wednesday
from alternative education centers operated in East and West Baltimore.
The centers, run by the Mayor’s Office of
Employment Development, serve students
who faced challenges in a typical school
environment. The students will graduate
with Maryland high school diplomas
earned through the General Educational
Development exam, or GED, said Ernest
Dorsey, assistant director for youth services.
Some of the barriers this year’s graduates
faced included unstable housing, limited
support systems and early parenthood,
officials said.
Twenty-four students will come from the
Westside YO Center in the SandtownWinchester neighborhood, and13 will come
from the Eastside Center in the Broadway
East neighborhood.
The figure represents a return to typical
commencement figures for the school after
graduating just 16 in 2015 from the two
centers. The two centers had 36 graduates
in 2014, 34 in 2013 and 28 in 2012.
Dorsey said the drop in graduates in 2015
came after a major change to the GED
program.
“We’re just beginning to turn the curve
now in instructors beginning to understand
the new GED exam, and young people
beginning to understand the new GED,”
Dorsey said.
The centers were started through federal
funding from a Youth Opportunity Grant in
2000 from the U.S. Department of Labor.
The short-term grant was stretched into
funding for Baltimore for six to seven years,
said Brice Freeman, a spokesman for the
centers.
The students’ graduation is set for 6 p.m.
Wednesday at Shriver Hall on the Johns
Hopkins University’s Homewood campus.
Calvin G. Butler Jr., CEO of Baltimore Gas
and Electric Co., will be the main speaker.

said. “And she has really suffered this past
weekend.”
The teens had driven through traffic for
three hours to make it to the show, Ford
said, even skipping senior prom.
Instead, Ford spent the evening at the
hospital with his friend before his parents
picked him up to take him home.
“We’re really huge fans” of Beyonce, Ford
said. “It was really disappointing.”
Police spokesman Jeremy Silbert said
Monday that officers are still trying to
identify the rider.
Hours after the Inner Harbor accident,
police responded to the 1500 block of S.
Monroe St. in the Carroll-Camden Industrial Area, where they found the injured
driver and the dirt biker from the second
incident. The biker’s leg was broken, police
said.
Both were hospitalized, according to a
police statement. Police have not named the
dirt biker, who will face traffic charges.
Police said the dirt biker’s companion,
who has not been identified, assaulted the
driver.
Police have a “no-pursue policy” when it
comes to the riders, according to Detective
Nicole Monroe, a police spokeswoman. “It’s
just not worth it,” Monroe said, citing the
potential threat a police chase could pose to
pedestrians and property.
Instead, police use other tactics to curtail
the illegal rides, which have previously
included shutting down traffic lanes on
streets where bikers have congregated.
“We’re going to stay the course,” Monroe
said.
Young expressed shock at the violence
that accompanied the second incident
Friday night.
“This is what you think would happen in
places like Iraq,” he said. “Not in Baltimore,
not in the U.S.A. We need to send a clear
message that this is not going to be
tolerated.”
“It’s just sad and angering,” said Councilman Brandon M. Scott.

the scene, and a critically injured man was taken
to Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he was
pronounced dead. The victims were identified as
Jumal Rodale Dudley, 43, of the 2100 block of Williams Drive in Havre de Grace and Taneisha Chenay Smothers, 31, of the first block of Osborne
Road in Aberdeen. No suspects have been identified. Police have determined the victims knew

Court won’t hear
citizenship case
Suit had sought
status change for
American Samoans
By David G. Savage
Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — The
Supreme Court turned
down an appeal on Monday
from American Samoans
who said they deserved the
right to be U.S. citizens at
birth.
The court’s action leaves
in place a law adopted in
1900 that says people born
in American Samoa will be
considered “nationals”
who owe allegiance to the
United States but not citizens with the right to vote
and hold public office.
Acting without comment, the justices refused
to review a U.S. appeals
court ruling that said it is
up to Congress, not the
courts, to change the legal
status of American Samoans. Currently, all people
born in the 50 states and
the other U.S. territories,
including Guam and
Puerto Rico, become U.S.
citizens at birth.
The lawsuit brought by
five Samoan plaintiffs
pointed to the 14th Amendment adopted after the
Civil War, which declares
that all people “born or
naturalized in the United
States” shall be U.S. citizens.
During the 20th century,
Congress extended citizenship rights to the people of
the other territories, except
for the people of American
Samoa.
The timing of the appeal
may have played a role in its
dismissal. Since the death
of Justice Antonin Scalia in
February, the eight justices
have granted review of only
a handful of new cases, and
most of those arose because
the lower courts had split
on an issue of law.

Justices wouldn’t review a ruling that said it is up to Congress to change the legal status of American Samoans.
High court rules against Puerto Rico
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Monday
that Puerto Rico can’t restructure more than $20 billion
in public debt as it tries to overcome a decadelong economic crisis.
The 5-2 ruling said that federal bankruptcy law bars
Puerto Rico from enacting its own law to restructure the
debt of its financially ailing public utilities. The decision
means the U.S. territory must wait for Congress to pass
debt-relief legislation that would address its fiscal woes.
Puerto Rico lawmakers passed the law in 2014 to help
cash-strapped utilities meet obligations to bondholders
and creditors. Puerto Rico argued that it could enact its
own measures since the island is precluded from using
bankruptcy law. But the Supreme Court upheld lower
court rulings that struck down the law.
The commonwealth is mired in recession and cannot
pay $72 billion in public debt.
— Associated Press
On Monday, the court
said it had denied review in
more than 100 pending
appeals, including Tuana v.
United States, the Samoans’ case.
Separately Monday, the
court left in place the
Obama administration’s
anti-pollution rules that require power plants to
sharply restrict emissions
of mercury and other toxic
chemicals. The justices
turned away an appeal
from Michigan and 19
other Republican-led
states, which contended
the rules were too costly
and illegal.
Last year, Scalia spoke
for a 5-4 ruling that re-
buked the Environmental
Protection Agency for failing to conduct a costbenefit analysis before publishing the long-delayed
rules. That decision, however, stopped short of striking down the new rules,
which had just taken effect.
Earlier this year, the EPA
published its cost-benefit
analysis. Michigan’s attorney general appealed, arguing the rules should be put
on hold while further legal
challenges go forward.
But the court said Monday it would not hear the
latest appeal in Michigan v.
EPA.

Court vacates $1.8M award
to Ventura in ‘Sniper’ lawsuit
MINNEAPOLIS — A
federal appeals court on
Monday threw out $1.8
million in damages awarded to former Minnesota
Gov. Jesse Ventura, who
said he was defamed by the
late author Chris Kyle in
the best-selling book
“American Sniper.”
The 8th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals also sent
a portion of the case —
Ventura’s defamation
claim — back to the district
court for a new trial.
In “American Sniper,”
Kyle described decking
Ventura at a California bar
in 2006 after Ventura
made offensive comments
about SEALs, including
that the SEALs “deserve to
lose a few” in Iraq.
Ventura, a former SEAL,
sued. He testified that he
never made the statements
and that the confrontation
never happened. Kyle, who
was killed in 2013 by a
troubled veteran, gave
videotaped testimony before his death that his story
was true.
Karzai skeptical military action
can resolve Afghan conflict
The United States
should limit its military
mission in Afghanistan to
supporting local forces and
should intensify pressure
on Pakistan to jump-start
peace talks with the Taliban, Afghanistan’s former
president said.
Hamid Karzai, who
ruled Afghanistan with
Western backing from
2001 to 2014, sounded a
note of skepticism about
recent changes to the U.S.
military mission in Af-
ghanistan, which reflect
ongoing insecurity and the
strength of the Taliban.
“I don’t think military
means will bring us
(peace),” Karzai said. “We
did it for the last 14 years
and it didn’t bring us that,
so how do we know ...
military action will bring
us that now?”
U.S. officials say that
President Barack Obama
has approved more aggressive air and ground action
against the Taliban.
Sentencing hearing begins for
Oscar Pistorius in murder case
PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius is a
“broken” man whose mental state has deteriorated
over the last two years and
he should be hospitalized
and not jailed, a clinical
psychologist testified for
his defense Monday on the
opening day of the former
double-amputee track
star’s sentencing hearing
for murdering girlfriend
Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius is under house
arrest after serving one
year of a five-year sentence
after being found guilty in
2014 of manslaughter for
killing Steenkamp in 2013.
But the manslaughter conviction was overturned last
year by South Africa’s Supreme Court, which convicted Pistorius of the
more serious charge of
murder, which carries
longer jail sentences.
Pistorius’ lawyers are
arguing for some leniency
from a judge when she
decides his sentence.
NATO sending
4 battalions to
Poland and
Baltic nations
BRUSSELS — NATO’s
chief announced Monday
that the alliance will agree
this week to send four
multinational battalions to
the Baltic states and Poland to boost their defenses against Russia.
Jens Stoltenberg, the
NATO secretary-general,
said alliance defense ministers will formally approve the deployment
drafted by NATO military
planners at a meeting
Tuesday in Brussels.
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, four of
NATO’s members that feel
most threatened by Russia,
will each be reinforced by
“a robust multinational
battalion,” Stoltenberg told
a news conference.
There was no immediate reaction from Moscow.
The Kremlin has accused
NATO of moving more and
more military forces close
to its borders and vowed to
do what it takes to protect
Russia’s national security
and interests.
Student loan forgiveness: The Obama admin-
istration is trying to make it
easier for students who
have been misled or defrauded by colleges to have
their loans forgiven. A rule
proposed Monday would
lay out a clear relief process for borrowers who

in order to enroll in a
school.
Easing access to government records: Con-
gress on Monday sent
legislation making it easier
to obtain government records. The bipartisan bill
would require federal
agencies to consider release of info under a “presumption of openness” as
opposed to a presumption
the info is secret.

Migrants in Athens, Greece, wait to preregister Monday for a U.N. asylum program.
Greece clears refugee camps,
transports migrants to shelter
THESSALONIKI,
Greece — Police detained
34 volunteers in northern
Greece on Monday while
clearing makeshift migrant
camps along the border
with Macedonia.
Scores of riot police
were deployed as 1,065
Syrians and 58 Iraqis were
ordered out of where they
were living around a gas
station near the Greek border with Macedonia and
moved by bus to a shelter
near the northern city of
Thessaloniki.
The detained volunteers
— all non-Greeks who had
been helping migrants
with food distribution and
other basic needs — were
all released without charge
following identification
checks at a nearby police
station, authorities said.
Journalists were not allowed access to the site
during the police operation.
Greece has continued to
expand shelter space to
house stranded refugees
and migrants. Authorities
said a site previously used
to store grain had been
modified by the army and
was being used as a shelter
where the migrants were
being taken.
Around 3,000 refugees
and migrants were camped
at the border at three sites
after authorities cleared a
huge makeshift camp at
Idomeni last month.
More than 50,000 migrants remain stranded in
Greece after European
border closings and an
agreement reached in
March between the European Union and Turkey to
deport newly arrived migrants.
In the Greek capital,
refugees at government
shelters housed in a
sprawling former sports
complex for the 2004 Athens Olympics began registering for asylum Monday.
“They had not intended
to apply for international
protection in Greece, but
due to the circumstances
they have been, so to speak,
trapped,” a Greek Asylum
Service official said.
Armed man held in Calif. was on probation in Ind.
LOS ANGELES — An
Indiana man arrested over
the weekend in California
with three assault rifles
and ammunition in his car
was forbidden from leaving his home state as part
of probation stemming
from a case in which he
pointed a gun at neighbors,
according to authorities
and court records.
Investigators on Monday were trying to determine whether James Wesley Howell had any plans
to use the weapons. The
20-year-old told police
that he was in the area to
attend a gay pride event in
West Hollywood that
draws hundreds of thou-
sands of people.
Howell, of Jeffersonville, Ind., was arrested in
Santa Monica after residents called police to report suspicious behavior
by a man who parked his
car facing the wrong way.
When officers arrived,
they saw an assault rifle on
Howell’s passenger seat.

Why Haven’t Senior
Homeowners Been
Told These Facts?
Better read this if you own a home in
the U.S. and were born before 1954.
It’s a well-known fact that for
many senior citizens in the U.S.
their home is their single biggest
asset, often accounting for more
than 50% of their total net worth.
Yet, according to new data
from the National Reverse
Mortgage Lenders Association,
senior homeowners in the U.S.
are now sitting on more than
5 trillion dollars of unused home
equity.1 With people now living
longer than ever before and home
prices back up again, ignoring this
“hidden wealth” may prove to be
short sighted.
All things considered, it’s not
surprising that more than a million
homeowners have already used a
government-insured Home Equity
Conversion Mortgage or “HECM”
(more commonly known today as
a reverse mortgage loan) to turn
their home equity into extra cash
for retirement.
However, today, there are still
millions of eligible homeowners
who could benefit from this FHAinsured loan but may simply not be
aware of this “retirement secret.”
Some homeowners think HECM
loans sound “too good to be true.”
After all, you get the cash you
need out of your home but you
have no more monthly mortgage
payments.
NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE
PAYMENTS?2 EXTRA CASH?
FACT: In 1988, President
Reagan signed the FHA
Reverse Mortgage bill into law.
That’s a shame because HECM
reverse mortgages are helping
many senior homeowners live a
better life.
In fact, a recent survey by
American Advisors Group (AAG),
the nation’s number one HECM
lender, found that over 90% of
their clients are satisfied with their
reverse mortgages.
While these special loans are
not for everyone, they can be a real
lifesaver for senior homeowners
like Betty Carter, who recently took
out a HECM loan with AAG so that
she could finally get the extra cash
she needed to fix up her house.
“With the help of AAG, I have been
able to repair my home’s foundation
that I had been putting off for several
years, refinish the hardwood floors,
paint the interior and will have the
exterior painted within a few days. My
house is starting to look like my home
again and it feels good,” says Carter.
The cash from a HECM loan
can be used for any worthwhile
purpose. Many people use the
money to save on interest charges
by paying off credit cards or
other high-interest loans. Other
common uses include making
home improvements, paying off
medical bills or helping other
family members. Some people
need the extra cash for everyday
expenses while others simply use
it as a “safety net” for financial
emergencies.
If you’re a homeowner age 62
or older, you owe it to yourself to
learn more so that you can make an
informed decision. Homeowners
who are interested in learning
more can request a free 2016 HECM
Reverse Mortgage Information
Kit and free Educational DVD by
calling American Advisors Group
toll-free at 1-(800) 841-6741.
At no cost or obligation, the
professionals at AAG can help you
find out if you qualify and also
answer common questions such
as:
1. What is the government’s role?
2. How much money might I get?
3. Who owns the home after I
take out a HECM loan?
It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage
payments are required with a
reverse mortgage loan;2 the
homeowners only have to pay
for maintenance, property taxes,
homeowner’s insurance and, if
required, their HOA fees.
Another fact many are not aware
of is that HECM reverse mortgages
first took hold when President
Reagan signed the FHA Reverse
Mortgage Bill into law 28 years
ago in order to help senior citizens
remain in their homes.
Today, HECM loans are simply an
effective way for homeowners 62
and older to get the extra cash they
need to enjoy their retirement.
Although today’s HECM reverse
mortgages have been improved
to provide even greater financial
protection for homeowners, there
are still many misconceptions.
For example, a lot of people
mistakenly believe the home
must be paid off in full in order
to qualify for a HECM reverse
mortgage loan, which is not the
case. In fact, one key benefit of
a HECM is that it automatically
pays off your existing mortgage,
which frees up cash flow, a huge
blessing for seniors living on
a fixed income. Unfortunately,
many senior homeowners who
could benefit from a HECM loan

The aggregate value of homes owned by seniors increased their share of home equity to $5.76 trillion according to the
National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. Source: http://reversemortgagedaily.com/2015/12/27/u-s-seniors-homeequity-rockets-to-5-76-trillion/. 2If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your
existing mortgage(s). With a HECM/Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A reverse mortgage
increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). AAG
works with other lenders and financial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process your request for a reverse
mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer.
Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not
establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and
insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for
ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when
the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults
on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. NMLS# 9392 (www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org). American Advisors Group (AAG) is headquartered at 3800 W. Chapman Ave., 3rd & 7th Floors, Orange

ORLANDO SHOOTING
Gunman’s father known for rambling political videos
By Lynne O’Donnell
Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan —
The father of the Orlando
nightclub gunman came to
the U.S. from Afghanistan
more than 30 years ago and
has made a series of rambling political videos about
his former homeland, even
once describing himself as
its “revolutionary president.”
Seddique Mir Mateen
maintained a high profile on
social media in the U.S. but
is a mystery to Afghan
authorities. Some government departments ran
background and security
checks Monday and found
no trace of him, an official
said.
Mateen met with reporters Monday at his home in
Port St. Lucie, Fla., and
called the massacre by his
son, Omar Mateen, “the act
of a terrorist.”
The deadly weekend attack shocked the family, the
father said, and went
against what he had taught
TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS
Seddique Mir Mateen called
the attack by his son, Omar,
“the act of a terrorist.”
his son. The elder Mateen
also said that if he had
known what the 29-yearold was planning, he would
have arrested him himself.
In a Facebook video
posted after the killings,
Mateen said: “I don’t know
what caused him to shoot
last night.”
“On the issue of homosexuality, it can be punished
only by God, it is not the
business of a person. But he
(Omar) has killed those
people, and I am so saddened,” he added.
The elder Mateen is a life
insurance salesman who
started a group in 2010
called Durand Jirga Inc.,
according to Qasim Tarin, a
businessman from California who was a Durand Jirga
board member. The name
refers to the Durand Line,
the long-disputed border
established by the British
that is between Afghanistan
and Pakistan.
He apparently left Afghanistan after the 1979
invasion by the Soviet
Union.
With constant turnover
in Afghanistan government
departments in the past 15
years, there appears to be no
record of Mateen. Efforts
were made to find out about
his past, “but we haven’t
found a clue,” according to
an official in the Afghan
intelligence agency, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to reporters.
But Kabul-based political
analyst Ahmad Saeedi said
Mateen, who is about 70, is
from the eastern province
of Laghman and was living
in the capital when he left 31
years ago for the U.S.
FROM PAGE ONE
Porter says Gray was docile, could have been safely seat-belted
GOODSON, From page 1
Porter said on the stand Monday that he
told Goodson that Gray should be taken to a
hospital. But he also said he never observed
any serious injury to Gray. After the van’s
fourth stop — a time when the medical
examiner has determined Gray was already
seriously injured — Porter said, Gray used
his legs to support his weight as Porter
helped him up.
Prosecutors have previously accused
Porter of lying, and on Monday played clips
of Porter’s original statement to investigators to show that his account has changed.
Porter said he had merely clarified his
original comments and that there was no
fundamental change in his account.
The prosecution’s timeline alleges that
Gray was hurt between the second and
fourth stops the van made, and Schatzow
said in opening statements that Goodson
gave Gray a “rough ride,” a term for driving
the van in a way that tosses the detainee
around in the back.
Before the fourth stop, Goodson made an
unexplained stop and looked into the back
of the van at Gray. Then he radioed for
backup, prompting Porter to visit the scene.
Porter testified at his own trial that
Goodson gave no explanation for why he
summoned help, which Schatzow said
strained credibility. Porter reiterated Monday that the two officers had no discussion
before opening the doors to look in on Gray.
“What, if anything, did you ask him about
why he had sought assistance?” Schatzow
asked.
“I didn’t ask him,” Porter said.
Porter testified that Gray was face down
on the van floor, and Porter asked him,
turbulent transport.
Goodson is the only one of the six
Baltimore officers charged in Gray’s arrest
and death who never provided police
investigators with a statement, and he has
the right not to testify at his trial. In
compelling Porter to take the stand, prosecutors have sought to establish what he
and Goodson discussed regarding Gray’s
condition and his request for a medic.
They succeeded in getting Porter to
testify that Goodson, as the van driver, was
primarily responsible for Gray, and that
Gray was not combative — even docile — as
he requested help during a later stop.
“Did you have the opportunity to seatbelt him?” Chief Deputy State’s Attorney
Michael Schatzow asked Porter.
The officer sighed and paused before
responding: “I guess so.”
Gray died of his injuries on April 19, 2015,
a week after his arrest. His death touched
off citywide protests against police brutality, and rioting, looting and arson broke out
on the day of his funeral.
Goodson faces the most serious charges
of the six officers in the case. All have
pleaded not guilty.
Porter is the second officer charged in the
case to be called to testify against a fellow
officer with his own charges pending — a
rare move allowed after a review by the
state’s highest court. Porter was tried first,
in December, in a case that ended in a
mistrial after jurors failed to reach a
unanimous decision on any of the charges
against him. Porter is scheduled to be
retried this year.
“What’s up?” Gray responded, “Help,” and
asked to be helped up to the bench inside
the van. Porter said he climbed in and
helped Gray onto a bench.
Schatzow had Porter read portions of a
transcript of his interview with investigators last year, in which he did not say that
Gray was able to get up with Porter’s
assistance.
Porter testified Monday there was “no
possible way I could lift a 150-pound man in
that tiny compartment” alone, and said he
hadn’t been more specific in his initial
interview because he wasn’t asked.
One of Goodson’s attorneys, Matthew
Fraling, asked Porter why he didn’t call for a
medic for Gray.
“I didn’t see any immediate medical
distress from Mr. Gray,” Porter said.
But Porter’s testimony that Gray was
docile and cooperative and could have been
safely secured with a seat belt was a blow to
the defense, who in opening statements
described Gray’s earlier interaction with
police as making it too risky for officers to
get close enough to him to fasten a seat belt.
However, defense attorney Andrew Jay
Graham also said the use of seat belts in
transport vans was generally rare.
Prosecutors on Monday also called a
neurosurgeon, Dr. Morris Marc Soriano,
who said that Gray’s injuries between the
second and fourth stop, while catastrophic,
could have allowed him to continue communicating with police officers at the later
stops. At Porter’s trial, Soriano said accessory muscles would allow Gray to keep
breathing despite his rapidly deteriorating
physical condition.
Prosecutors also called Detective Michael Boyd, a member of the Baltimore
Police Department’s Force Investigation
Team that investigated Gray’s death. They
had Boyd walk through a series of city
surveillance videos from the day of Gray’s
arrest, identifying individuals and the path
of the van as it traveled through the city. At
one point, prosecutors played a video of
Goodson stopping the van and walking to
the rear before getting back in and driving
off — a stop that lasted seconds.
Boyd was still on the stand when Judge
Barry G. Williams excused him, to resume
his testimony at 9:30 a.m. today.
Before concluding the proceedings, Williams noted that prosecutors submitted
evidence Monday that they had not previously shared with the defense. The move
followed a motion filed by the defense last
week calling for dismissal of the case after
learning prosecutors had never turned over
evidence about a meeting they had last year
with a key witness in the case, Donta Allen.
Allen was the arrestee placed in the back of
the van with Gray during the final leg of
Gray’s transport.
Williams had excoriated prosecutors,
saying the evidence was clearly favorable to
Goodson and should have been turned over
to the defense. He stopped short of
sanctioning them but gave them until
Monday to deliver any additional evidence.
Defense lawyers are now reviewing the
latest information to see whether they need
to file any additional motions, Williams
said.

Dolphins headed for sanctuary
DOLPHINS, From page 1
tat where the dolphins still would be cared
for by humans.
“We now know more about dolphins and
their care, and we believe that the National
Aquarium is uniquely positioned to use that
knowledge to implement positive change,”
John Racanelli, the aquarium’s CEO, said in
the announcement.
The aquarium entered the debate over
the merits of keeping animals in captivity
when it said two years ago it was considering eliminating the popular Dolphin Discovery amphitheater exhibit and moving
the eight mammals to a sanctuary.
At the time, some visitors were surprised
to learn of a potential move for animals they
had grown up watching and brought their
children to see. The aquarium stopped
offering a stunt-filled dolphin show about
four years ago and instead allowed visitors
to observe the animals in the pool and
interacting with trainers.
The aquarium is one of Baltimore’s
biggest tourist attractions and draws 1.3
million visitors a year.
The facility launched a comprehensive
planning effort in 2013 dubbed BLUEprint
aiming to balance audience expectations
with a conservation organization’s responsibility to rescue, protect and care for
aquatic life. The aquarium’s staff and board
weighed whether to rebuild the existing
marine mammal pavilion in a more naturalistic style or move the dolphins to another
facility.
In an opinion piece appearing today in
The Baltimore Sun, Racanelli said the
decision is in the best interest of the
dolphins as well as of an institution that has
evolved from a sea life attraction to aquatic
conservation group. The nonprofit group
did not announce the sanctuary’s expected
cost but said it is seeking philanthropic
investments to fund the project.
“We would be obviously very supportive
of a decision that would result in the
1-800-SLEEPYS
dolphins being moved to a sanctuary,” said
Emily Hovermale, Maryland state director
of the Humane Society of the U.S. “We’ve
partnered on legislation with the aquarium
in the past and found them to be a great
advocate for animal welfare. This is a
positive step forward.”
Public opposition to keeping dolphins
and whales in captivity has grown, as more
attention has been focused on the issue.
Various dolphin movies and TV shows and
the 1993 move “Free Willy” about an orca
trapped at a theme park helped spark public
sympathy. Later documentaries, including
“The Cove” about the killing of dolphins in
Japan and “Blackfish” about orcas in
captivity after the killing of a Sea World
trainer in 2010, stoked the interest.
Just last month, protesters gathered
outside the National Aquarium for the
international Empty the Tanks Worldwide
event, in which protests were planned at 61
locations in 22 countries. Protesters held
signs that said “Captivity kills” and “Empty
the tanks.”
Sea World recently announced plans to
stop breeding orcas and to make changes to
allow animals to be kept in more natural
environment. And Ringling Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Circus sent its last
performing elephants into retirement in
May.
“That needs to continue,” Hovermale,
said. “There shouldn’t be things like
entertainment shows where animals are
forced to perform unnatural acts — things
they wouldn’t do in their natural environments. Continuous improvement in that
area is definitely essential.”
Though progress is being made, Hovermale said, abusive practices continue, such
as the smaller circuses that force elephants
to perform on cue.
Relocating the dolphins to a sanctuary
would be a groundbreaking step, said
Heather Rally, a veterinarian for the PETA
Foundation, who has been following the
•
Aquarium officials envision a first-of-its-kind protected, seaside habitat where the dolphins still would be cared for by humans.
aquarium’s years of study.
“We know we cannot keep these animals
happy and healthy in captivity,” Rally said.
Bottlenose dolphins are “highly intelligent,” she said, and can suffer psychological
damage and develop abnormal, repetitive
behaviors when inhibited by confined
spaces. That can lead to heightened aggression and bullying.
“We just know at this point in our
evolution we cannot keep them happy and
healthy in concrete tanks,” Rally said. “We
need to find another solution. ... Taking an
animal out of its natural habitat and putting
it in an unnatural enclosure where it’s
unhealthy and unhappy and putting it on
display for children is sending negative
messages for children.”
While the aquarium said it has not
identified a site for the sanctuary, it is
looking to build an outdoor, seawater
facility in a tropical year-round climate,
close to where dolphins exist in the wild.
The ideal site would be much larger than
the current home, with stimuli such as
marine plants and fish. A site selection team
will evaluate locations based on those
criteria and the potential for providing
lifetime customized care for each dolphin.
While many animals and fish thrive in
zoos or aquatic centers, large, social animals
such as elephants and dolphins run into
trouble in confined areas, said Temple
Grandin, a professor of animal science at
Colorado State University.
“They can’t form big social groups,”
Grandin said. “Their life is all about social
relationships — they form lifelong social
bonds. Lots of other animals are just fine. A
lot of small animals do fine in zoos.
Aquarium fish are just fine.”
But she believes a balance needs to be
struck between animal welfare and providing the public, especially children, with a
real connection to animals.
To encourage education about and interest in animals, “I think people actually need
to see animals to make a connection,”
Grandin said.

TAURUS April 20-May 20
Don’t make a mess with your moolah.
If you are in a rush to be a trendsetter or
give in to impulse buying you could
throw good money after bad. Sidestep
unnecessary expenditures and avoid
making crucial commitments.
GEMINI May 21-June 20
Someone may be swept off their feet
by your pure animal magnetism. It may
be tempting to dump an existing
relationship for a new playmate. Satisfaction may elude you if you start a new
relationship or sign a contract.
CANCER June 21-July 22
Make truth and beauty a reality. You
don’t need to tell a lie to put a positive
spin on your job, hobby, relationship or
financial situation. You will work best in
a quiet place where you can give free
rein to creativity.
LEO July 23-Aug. 22
Share and share alike. You may be
persuaded to chip in and contribute to
the group pot by the feeling it is a moral
obligation. Communication can be important to your career so don’t ignore a
phone call, email, or message.
VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Be a friend and others will be friendly.
At the same time, do not read too much
into anyone’s offer of undying love. If
you do not allow intimacy to develop too
quickly a new relationship can grow.
LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22

polishing. Even your closest companions may seem deliberately antagonistic
and could target a few of your sensitive
spots. Avoid making any crucial changes, promises or decisions.
SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Lounge around on your most com-
fortable laurels. Avoid initiating any

easily clash with the very people who
could help you the most.
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19

words and will drown out controversy.
Go all-out to make your sweetie proud
or to get recognition on the job for a job
well done.
AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Crying over spilt milk will not refill
the bottle. If the tried and true hasn’t
worked in the past you might be disloyal
to those who urge you to stick with the
tried and true. Try some new and less
traditional tactics.
PISCES Feb. 19-March 20
Work to dispel rumors of trust issues.
Boost your reputation by showing
others that you are committed to
helping them achieve their own happiness or success. Don’t be upset if
relevant facts and figures are briefly
obscured.
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:
Throughout the coming six to eight
weeks it will pay to remember that a
little acorn can grow to a mighty oak.
New connections and group activities
can open some doors for you and help
you widen your horizons. People who
have your best interests at heart will be
drawn closer. Take advantage of any
opportunity that sprouts up in August,
but don’t be extravagant. You may be too
restless for your own good and relationships may temporarily be rocky. Remain
rooted to the tried and true. Your best
bet is to wait until February to make a
major change or to break off an existing
relationship.

Bill Murray to get
Mark Twain Prize
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts announced Monday in Washington that Bill
Murray, 65, will be this year’s recipient of the Mark
Twain Prize for American Humor. The award goes to
those who influence society in the tradition of Samuel
Clemens, the writer, satirist and social commentator
better known as Mark Twain.
“I’m honored by the award and by its timing,” Murray said in a statement. “I believe Mark Twain has
rolled over in his grave so much for so long, that this
news won’t disturb his peace.”
Like past Twain prize recipients, including Tina
Fey, Will Ferrell and last year’s winner, Eddie Murphy,
Murray first gained prominence for his work on “Saturday Night Live.” He joined the cast in 1977, replacing
the beloved Chevy Chase, and he overcame audience
skepticism by creating the iconic character Nick the
Lounge Singer.
His first starring movie role was in “Meatballs”
(1979), and he scored a major hit the following year
with the anarchic golf comedy “Caddyshack.”
“Bill Murray has charmed us with unforgettable
performances from an eclectic cast of characters that
have become ingrained in our cultural vernacular,”
Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter said. “His
unique brand of humor seems to defy time itself —
always remaining relevant and relatable to new audiences — much like our award’s namesake.”
In 2003, Murray, in one of his many serious roles,
garnered the best reviews of his career and racked up
award after award — but not an Oscar — for his soulful
turn in Sofia Coppola’s “Lost in Translation.”
Murray will accept the prize, first handed out in
1998, at an Oct. 23 gala at the Kennedy Center.

ORLANDO SHOOTING
eNEWSPAPER UPDATE
What makes AR-type guns popular?
By Laura J. Nelson
and James Rufus
Koren
Tribune Newspapers
LOS ANGELES — Attackers who carried out
some of the most highprofile mass shootings in
U.S. history, including Sunday’s massacre at a gay club
in Orlando, Fla., have favored semi-automatic rifles
that fire as fast as the
shooter can pull the trigger.
The AR-15 and similar
military-style rifles have be-
come increasingly popular
in the U.S., where gun enthusiasts find them lightweight and easy to handle.
Semi-automatic rifles fire
one bullet each time the
trigger is pulled. But AR-15style rifles can be converted
into assault weapons, meaning one pull of the trigger
releases a continuous
stream of bullets. Police
have not said whether the
rifle used in Orlando had
been modified.
The mass shooters at
Newtown, Conn., in 2012
and San Bernardino, Calif.,
in 2015 used AR-15-style
rifles.
“It stays on target, it’s
very accurate and it’s devastatingly lethal,” said Jay
Wachtel, a retired Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives agent and a
lecturer at California State
University at Fullerton.
Some states limit the capacity of magazines that can
be used with AR-15 rifles,
but Florida does not.
On Sunday, Omar Mateen burst into the Pulse
club carrying what federal
authorities described as a 9
mm pistol and a “.223caliber AR type rifle.”
The forefather of the
AR-15 was designed in the
1950s by a former Marine,
who later sold the design to
Colt. The rifle, later dubbed
the M-16, was widely used
by the U.S. military during
the Vietnam War.
The rifle was modified
slightly and released to the
civilian market in the 1960s.
The rifle’s design was
tweaked during a 20-year

director of FreeState Legal
Project, a legal advocate for
low-income LGBT Marylanders.
Many victims of the Florida massacre were Hispanic
and gay.
“Not only is it the biggest
mass shooting in United
States history, but it targeted the Latin night, the
LGBT community,” said Lillian Amaya, a founder of
IRIS Baltimore, a Latino
LGBT group that formed in
February. “You’re talking
about a hate crime that has
multiple complexities. ... It’s
just so much.”
Orlando police said 29year-old Omar Mateen, a
New York-born resident of
St. Lucie County, Fla., called
911 and pledged allegiance
to the terrorist group
known as ISIS before he
turned an assault rifle and
handgun on revelers at a
Latin music-themed party
at Pulse, a popular club. He
killed at least 49 people and
wounded 53 others before
he died in a shootout with
officers, authorities said.
Nationally, calls for healing were joined by pitched
political sparring over security and gun control. Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump repeated
calls to ban Muslims from
entering the country, while
Democrat Hillary Clinton
stressed defeating “the bar-

barity we face from radical
jihadists.”
In Maryland, mourners
gathered at events around
the state, from churches in
Rockville and Columbia to
McKeldin Mall at the University of Maryland, College
Park.
At the Baltimore vigil,
Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake said the gathering
revealed “a ministry of support” for the LGBT community in Baltimore.
“Being here is speaking
volumes about who we are
as Baltimoreans,” the mayor
said.
Police Commissioner
Kevin Davis said Sunday’s
attack “targeted the LGBT
community in a horrific
way. ... We stand with you.
We’ll do our very best to
protect you.”
Davis also announced
Monday night that the department was offering security assessments for the
city’s LGBT bars and nightclubs. Officers can advise on
security plans and surveillance systems, Davis said.
There are no immediate
threats against clubs in Baltimore, Davis said. But after
the shooting in Orlando, he
said, “We are reminded of
our vulnerabilities and that
such evil acts can occur
anywhere.”
Businesses owners interested in an assessment may
contact Lt. Jeffrey Shorter:
[email protected]
Gays, lesbians and transgender people and their
allies found the attack particularly heinous because
clubs such as Pulse have
long been safe gathering
spaces.
“Frankly, many of us in
Baltimore are as numbed as
we are hurt, as we are
routinely forced to confront
hatred and violence every
day as other parts of our
identity interact with society’s systems,” said Lyles,
president of the GLBT
Community Center of Baltimore and Central Maryland.
The center and other
groups organized Monday
night’s vigil, at Charles
Street and North Avenue,
with a goal to unify people
who typically might have
little interaction but are
equally devastated by the
tragedy.
They expressed concern
not only about violence
against gays, lesbians and
transgender people, but
against Muslims because of
a backlash against Islamic
extremism.
Amaya and Alfredo Santiago were among the founding members of IRIS Baltimore seeking to build a
bridge between Baltimore’s
Latino and LGBT communities. In light of the tragedy
in Orlando, they sought to
also connect with local
Muslims.
“As a proud Latino gay
man, I don’t blame this on
my Muslim brothers and
sisters,” Alfredo Santiago
said at an event Monday
morning in Mount Vernon
with the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Sen. Richard Madaleno,
an openly gay member of
the Maryland Senate, joined
the groups in stressing that
neither the shooter nor ISIS
represent Islam or its followers. He said the attacks
should not shake ties the
LGBT community has with
the Muslim community.
“ISIS have killed far more
Muslims around the world
than Americans and other
Westerners,” Madaleno
said. “This is not about
Islam, this is a group of
sociopaths.”
Members of the Islamic
council also condemned the
massacre.
“The LGBTQ community has been one of the
strongest allies against Islamophobia,” said Zainab
Chaudry, council spokesperson. “For them to be
targeted by an individual
who is believed to be Muslim is especially horrific.
“We do not condone this
violence, and we are not
going to stay silent while
this type of homophobia is
taking place,” Chaudry said.
Organizations vowed to
continue helping communities heal in the coming days.
IRIS Baltimore invited people to come to the next
meeting of its monthly support group at 6 p.m. Friday
at Familia Adelante in Highlandtown.
At Chase Brexton Health
Care in Mount Vernon,
therapists attended Monday’s vigil to connect peoplewith mental health resources.
“What we’re going to try
to do for most of this week is
completely open up and
make ourselves available to
community members who
need an ear to listen, some
space to process everything
going on and need to not
feel alone,” said Nate Sweeney, executive director of
Chase Brexton’s LGBT
Health Resource Center.
Donna Yaffe, a psychologist for the health center,
said the unity displayed
Monday could help with the
grieving process.
“There are so many different kinds of groups of
people that are persecuted
and hated for their differences,” Yaffe said. “People
need to be embraced for
their differences and not
hated for their differences.”

Victims in Orlando mourned
FBI delves into
shooter’s history,
phone for clues
Tribune Newspapers
and news services
ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando mourned the 49 people killed in Sunday’s attack
on a gay nightclub, as the
White House and the FBI
portrayed the killer Monday
as an apparent “homegrown
extremist” who espoused
support for a jumble of
often-conflicting Islamic organizations.
Vigils and makeshift memorials to the victims of the
deadliest mass shooting in
U.S. history began to take
shape not just across Florida
and the United States but
around the world as well, as
counterterrorism authorities delved into gunman
Omar Mateen’s background.
Wielding a semi-automatic rifle and a handgun,
Mateen, a 29-year-old
American-born Muslim,
opened fire at the crowded
Pulse nightclub in Orlando
early Sunday.
He was killed in a gunbattle with a SWAT team
after police used explosives
and a small armored vehicle
to punch a hole in a wall and
allow dozens of clubgoers to
escape, police said.
The tragedy shocked the
nation and cast a pall over
Orlando, known around the
globe as the home of Walt
Disney World and other
theme parks.
“We will not be defined
by the act of a cowardly
hater,” Mayor Buddy Dyer
WILL DICKEY/FLORIDA TIMES-UNION
Mourners grieve during a vigil in Jacksonville, Fla., on Monday for the victims of the nightclub massacre in Orlando.
vowed. “We will be defined
by how we respond.”
FBI agents scrambled
Monday to recover data
from Mateen’s electronic
media — cellphones, computers and other devices —
hoping to find clues to what
sparked the massacre and
whether he has contacts
with any known extremists,
according to current and
former FBI officials.
This phase of the investigation — a deep dive
into Mateen’s planning, contacts, communications and
other evidence — will take at
least a few weeks.
FBI Tampa Special Agent
in Charge Paul Wysopal said
“hundreds” of leads were
being pursued.
President Barack Obama,
who will travel to Orlando
on Thursday, said the gunman appeared to be motivated by extremist propaganda
online, saying that authorities have not found any
links connecting this attacker with other radical
groups.
Obama called the shoot-
ing a case of “homegrown
extremism” on Monday, saying that the gunman appeared to be “inspired by
various extremist information that was disseminated
over the internet.”
“We see no clear evidence
that he was directed externally,” Obama said during
remarks in the Oval Office.
“It does appear that at the
last minute, he announced
allegiance to ISIL. But there
is no evidence so far that he
was in fact directed by ISIL,
and at this stage there’s no
direct evidence that he was
part of a larger plot.”
ISIL is one of the acronyms for the Islamic State.
FBI Director James Comey said that Mateen had
“strong indications of radicalization” and was probably inspired by foreign terrorist organizations.
He said Mateen had three
911 conversations during the
attack and not only pledged
loyalty to the Islamic State
but also expressed solidarity
with the Tsarnaev brothers,
who carried out the Boston
Marathon bombing, and a
suicide bomber who died in
Syria on behalf of the Nusra
Front, a group at odds with
the Islamic State.
A few years ago, Mateen
also expressed support for
both al-Qaida and Hezbollah, which is a bitter enemy
of Islamic State, Comey
noted.
As the investigation
moved forward, yellow police tape cordoned off the
Pulse club.
“There was blood all over
the street. You can see where
people were dragged,” said
Patty Sheehan, Orlando’s
first openly gay city commissioner, pointing toward the
building and grimacing.
Sheehan knows the
owner of the club and a
bartender who witnessed
the shooting and they described details to her.
“When the police went in,
they told people, ‘Raise your
hand if you’re alive,’ ”she
said. “Some of the living
covered themselves with the
dead.”
At least 53 people were
wounded during the rampage, with many still hospitalized Monday.
However, hospital officials said they are “very
optimistic” that victims being treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center will
recover.
The hospital said many
survivors had “multiple
high-velocity” gunshot
wounds but added that
many in the intensive care
unit no longer need ventilators to breathe and medical
staff no longer need to give
“major amounts of blood” to
shooting victims.
Stories of victims
told by loved ones
By Nomaan Merchant
and Tammy Webber
Associated Press
A gunman wielding an
assault-type rifle and a
handgun opened fire inside
a crowded gay nightclub in
Orlando, Fla., early Sunday,
leaving at least 49 people
dead in the worst mass
shooting in U.S. history.
Here are the stories of
some of the victims.
Mercedez Marisol Flores,
26, went to Pulse nightclub
almost every weekend, Flores’ sister-in-law said Monday, often with her best
friend, Amanda Alvear.
Both women died in the
shooting.
“She was very outgoing,”
Nancy Flores said of Mercedez, who worked at Target, studied at Valencia College and wanted to become a
party planner.
Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo
wanted to be a star.
The 20-year-old dancer
was working at Starbucks
while studying theater and
would have auditioned on
Tuesday for a play, said his
sister, Belinette OcasioCapo.
“He was one of the most
amazing dancers,” she said.
“He would always call me
and say, ‘I’m going to be the
next Hollywood star.’ He
really did want to make it
and be known.
“Now his name ended up
being all around the world
like he wanted — just not this
way.”
Jonathan Camuy , 25,
moved to Central Florida
from his native Puerto Rico
to work for the Spanishlanguage television network
Telemundo.
He was on the production
team for “La Voz Kids,” a
talent show for young singers in its fourth season.
He had previously
worked for the network in
Puerto Rico.
“Jonathan was an extremely hard-working individual, full of life, enthusiastic and with a great personality,” the network said in
a statement. “He will be
missed dearly.”
Peter O. Gonzalez-Cruz,
22, known among family and
friends as “Ommy,” was always the life of the party.
“Peter makes a difference
everywhere he goes,” said
his aunt, Sonia Cruz. “He
was a happy person. If Peter
is not at the party, no one
wants to go.”
Gonzalez-Cruz went to
Pulse on Saturday night with
his best friend, Gilberto Ramon Silva Menendez. After
news of the mass shooting
emerged, Cruz said she held
out hope for hours that her
nephew would turn up in a
hospital bed.
But late Sunday afternoon, she was told he was
among those killed.
Juan Ramon Guerrero, 22,
told his cousin, Robert Guerrero, he was gay about two
years ago, but he was worried about how the rest of his
family would react. He did
not tell them until just before
the beginning of this year.
“They were very accepting,” said Guerrero, 19. “As
long as he was happy, they
were OK with it.”
Guerrero said that his
cousin worked as a telemarketer and that in recent
months he started attending
the University of Central
Florida.
“He was always this
amazing person, (and) he
was like a big brother to me,”
he said of his cousin.
CAROLYN COLE/TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS
Danielle Irigoyen joins others Monday in mourning victims of Sunday’s shooting in Orlando,
Fla., where a gunman opened fire inside a gay nightclub and killed at least 49 people.
Tevin Eugene Crosby’s inspirational posts on Facebook — “2016 will be the best
year ever” — represented his
drive for success.
Chavis Crosby told the
Orlando Sentinel that his
brother was ambitious and
hard-working.
“Whatever goal he had in
mind, he worked hard,”
Crosby said. “Whether alone
or on a team, he worked on
that goal.”
Tevin Crosby, 25, was director of operations for a
Michigan marketing firm.
“He was definitely a good
person and a good brother to
me,” he said.
Stanley Almodovar III’s
mother had prepared a tomato-and-cheese dip for
him to eat when he came
home from his night out.
Instead, Rosalie Ramos
was awakened by a call at 2
a.m. Sunday telling her
something had happened.
Ramos told the Orlando
Sentinel her son, 23, a pharmacy technician, posted a
Snapchat video of himself
singing and laughing on his
way to Pulse. “I wish I had
that (video) to remember
him forever,” she said.
Kimberly Morris ,
37,
moved to Orlando just
months ago and had taken a
job at Pulse nightclub as a
bouncer, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
“She was so excited,” exgirlfriend Starr Shelton told
the newspaper. “She’d just
started working there and
told me how she was thrilled
to get more involved in the
LGBT community there.”
“I can’t think of a time
when I did not see a smile on
her face,” friend Narvell
Benning told the Orlando
Sentinel.
Florida attack prompts tale of two policies
By Noah Bierman
and Evan Halper
Tribune Newspapers
CLEVELAND — The candidates didn’t take the requisite timeout from the presidential campaign trail. They
didn’t announce that this
week was for healing only.
The body count, in fact, was
not even final before the
massacre in Orlando, Fla.,
had become as politically
charged as it was horrific.
The deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history became the
launching point Monday for
what was already expected
to be one of the country’s
nastier presidential campaigns, coming the week that
Hillary Clinton and Donald
Trump were set to turn their
attention entirely to each
other and building their
cases in battleground states.
Instead, the attack that
killed 49 people forced them
ANALYSIS
to confront the anxieties set
off by yet another gruesome
mass murder — and another
perpetrator who was of Islamic faith.
Trump focused relentlessly on immigration as the
root cause of the massacre,
saying that “the only reason
the killer was in America in
the first place was because
we allowed his family to
come here.” His unrestrained
broadsides on immigrants,
Muslim nations, even the
motivations of President Barack Obama — at one point
Trump seemed to question
whether the president had
terrorist affiliations — defied,
as usual, political convention.
Clinton delivered a nuanced speech with multiple
policy proposals, emphasizing the need for the country
to unite and avoid scape-
goating Muslims. “Our open,
diverse society is an asset in
the struggle against terrorism, not a liability,” she said,
while warning that installing
an unsteady hand with xenophobic tendencies in the
White House is among the
most dangerous things
voters could do.
Trump accused Clinton of
mismanagement, political
correctness and designing an
Obama administration immigration policy culpable for
the killings in San Bernardino, Calif., and now Orlando. He appeared to expand his proposed ban on
Muslims entering the country to an even bigger group of
people, those from any “areas
of the world where there’s a
proven history of terrorism”
against the U.S. and its allies.
“Why does Hillary Clinton want to bring people here
— in vast numbers — who
reject our values?” Trump
Trump revoking paper’s credentials
Donald Trump said Monday his presidential campaign
is revoking credentials provided to The Washington Post.
Trump wrote on his Facebook that the move was “based
on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the
record setting Trump campaign.”
He faulted the Post for a headline posted Monday that
he said read, “Donald Trump suggests President Obama
was involved with Orlando shooting.” The headline on the
article Monday afternoon read, “Donald Trump seems to
connect President Obama to Orlando shooting.”
asked, citing no evidence that
Clinton wants to do so. He
also suggested that Clinton,
who enjoys broad support
from LGBT groups and
women, is no friend of either.
“Clinton wants to allow
radical Islamic terrorists to
pour into our country — they
enslave women, and they
murder gays,” he said.
Clinton’s response since
Orlando has been measured.
In Cleveland, she delivered a
speech much like the ones
she gave following the attacks last year in Paris and
San Bernardino, in which she
soberly laid out a plan for
fighting Islamic State and
sought to rally voters to
embrace diversity in these
moments.
“Whatever we learn about
this killer and his motives ...
we know already the barbar-
ity we face from radical
jihadists is profound,” Clinton said. “The attack in
Orlando makes it even more
clear we cannot contain this
threat. We must defeat it.”
The candidates did attempt to take some semblance of a break from politics in deference to the victims of Orlando and their
families. Clinton postponed
fundraisers Monday and a
major campaign rally with
Obama in Wisconsin on
Wednesday. It was moved to
next week. Trump canceled
his Monday evening campaign rally.
But Clinton’s declaration
that “today is not a day for
politics,” hardly held true.
There was no avoiding it.

Manchester, N.H., and Evan
Halper from Cleveland.

Work starts to clear Howard Tunnel derailment
TUNNEL, From page 1
the tunnel’s north entrance at the Mount
Royal Station in Bolton Hill about 5:45 a.m.
Monday, authorities said. But they waited
until after the evening rush hour to begin
clearing the tracks.
Twelve of the derailed train cars were
empty “but possibly contained a residual
substance in them,” authorities said. The
13th carried acetone, a substance used in
paint thinner and nail-polish remover.
Other cars in the train were carrying
phenol, butane, liquefied petroleum gas,
scrap iron and acid, authorities said.
In the event of a chemical spill during the
clearing of the derailed cars, authorities
said, the Fire Department would use a
reverse 911 system to tell residents who live
within a quarter-mile radius of the incident
to shelter in place, officials said.
“Our meters show there’s no immediate
danger,” Assistant Fire Chief Mark Wagner
said.
Authorites are investigating the cause of
the derailment. It started about one-third of
the way through the train at car 47, one of
the 18 that were carrying loads, authorities
said.
The front of the train had entered the
tunnel when the cars derailed just north of
the tunnel, Maloney said. The derailed cars
continued into the tunnel, where they
stopped, he said.
The Philadelphia-to-Cumberland run “is
a regular, routine route for this train,” said
Brian Hammock, resident vice president of
CSX.
Hammock said he did not know when
the tunnel was last inspected. He said CSX
has full confidence in all of its tracks

throughout the city.
A day after the deadliest mass shooting in
U.S. history Sunday at a gay nightclub in
Orlando, Fla., Wagner called the FBI to help
investigate the derailment. “With everything going on, especially in Orlando, I
asked the FBI to be here because we want to
rule out foul play,” Wagner said.
Investigators determined it was not
caused intentionally.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin
Davis said his department, too, was assisting. “We want to be on the ground at the
very, very beginning in case a twist or turn

Bunny
(Hortense)
Bunting
Tegler passed away suddenly
on Friday, June 10, 2016 at the
age of 90. Born on April 17, 1926
in Pocomoke City, Maryland
to the late George Sydney and
Madelyn East Bunting, Bunny
attended the University of

she was a member of the Alpha
Delta Pi Sorority and received
the Abe Gattwals Award. She
completed Nursing School at
University Hospital in 1948, received her Bachelor
of Science and later that year married the late Paul
Alexander Tegler.
Bunny was very active in nursing for 46 years and
held many offices in the Nursing Association. Giving
back to her community was extremely important
and she was actively involved in the Baltimore Arts

University of Maryland Alumni Association, Baltimore
Club-University of Maryland, Baltimore Group of the
Terrapin Club, American Legion Auxiliary #183, and
Can Too.
Hortense stands for “Lady Gardener”. Like her late
brother, George S. Bunting, she enjoyed her award
winning garden immensely and was active in the
Greenbrier Garden Club.
Additionally, Bunny loved traveling, reading, knitting,
crocheting, cooking and socializing with her friends,
family and neighbors. No one she met remained a

occurs,” Davis said. “Twists and turns have
not occurred, but we’re nonetheless involved right now in this critical incident.”
Several roads were closed near the
tunnel Monday. They included a stretch of
Howard Street between North Avenue and
John Street.
The Maryland Transit Administration
announced it was suspending light rail
service between the Camden Yards and
North Avenue stations after10 p.m. Monday,
and would use buses to ferry passengers
between the two stops until midnight.
Freight rail traffic was stopped in the
area Monday. The line running through the
tunnel is used only by CSX freight trains;
Amtrak and MARC service was not affected.
The Howard Street Tunnel is considered
to be the most troublesome bottleneck for
north-south freight train traffic on the East
Coast.
For many years, transportation planners
have discussed replacing the tunnel, but the
estimated cost — $1 billion to $3 billion —
has stymied progress.
In April, the Hogan administration and
CSX announced a stripped-down, $425
million plan to expand the tunnel so that
double-stacked trains could pass through.
The state and the railroad pledged to kick in
$270 million for the project and applied for
a $155 million federal grant through the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s FASTLANE program.
Matthew A. Clark, a spokesman for Gov.
Larry Hogan, said the state is waiting for a
decision on its application. Federal officials
are expected to announce awards this
summer.
Since the spectacular tunnel derailment
and fire of 2001 halted freight traffic in the
corridor for almost a week, there have been
a series of smaller-scale incidents along the
approaches to the tunnels.
In 2005, a three-car derailment near the
site of the 2001 incident prompted thenMayor Martin O’Malley to call for a federal
inspection.
Environmental advocates and city residents have long voiced concern about
freight trains carrying hazardous chemicals
through and underneath Baltimore’s neighborhoods. The City Council held a twohour public hearing last summer on the
safety of shipping crude oil through Baltimore.
Keisha Allen, president of the Westport
Neighborhood Association, said her home
is within a block of freight tracks — well
within the “blast zone,” should a derailment
cause an explosion.
“That’s the issue, the fact that it’s highly
flammable,” she said.
Allen said she and her neighbors want
the city to require CSX and Norfolk
Southern to disclose what’s being shipped
on the freight trains and when.
Lawrence Mann, a Washington attorney
who specializes in railroad liability cases,
said the industry has generally been lax
about track inspections.
“The railroads have either fired or
furloughed thousands of track inspectors
around the country,” he said. “They just
don’t have the manpower to do the job
that’s required.”
The country’s major railroads spent $28
billion on capital expenditures and maintenance in 2014, the Association of American
Railroads reported Monday.
That investment increased to $30 billion
last year and is expected to hover around
$26 billion this year, said Edward Hamberger, president and CEO of the trade industry
group.
That has increased from the roughly $20
billion in annual infrastructure investment
between 1983 and 2011, as carriers work to
keep up with customer demands for
reliability and service, including new double-stack containers, he said.
The investments have also improved
safety, Hamberger said. The association
recently reported a 79 percent decline in
train accidents since 1980.

Youth funds restored; other cuts loom
BUDGET, From page 1
tions to the City.
“The City needs a balanced budget. Not
grandstanding. That is what we are elected
to do.”
By law, the City Council must approve a
balanced budget by June 26.
Rawlings-Blake’s action drew mixed
reactions.
City Council President Bernard C. “Jack”
Young said he was pleased to see the money
for the youth programs — which serve
thousands of children and teens — but
frustrated by Rawlings-Blake’s approach.
She announced her decision publicly before
speaking to Young and other council
members, he said.
“I’m dissatisfied with some of the cuts,”
Young said. “They should’ve included us
and not blindsided us.”
Other services that would be affected
include graffiti removal and tree maintenance. Art museums, management of grants
and merit pay for employees also would be
affected. If approved by the council, the
new budget will take effect July 1.
Carol Ott, a leading city housing advocate, said she couldn’t argue against
funding programs for young people but is
concerned about cuts to code enforcement.
Inspectors protect children by helping to
ensure they live in safe housing, she said.
“Cutting code enforcement is shortchanging the kids who are impacted by
blight and substandard housing,” Ott said.
“It’s a wonderful thing to put more money
toward youth programming, but these kids
have to go home at the end of the day. If they
are going home to substandard housing,
how is that a win for anybody?”
Ott said city leaders should have worked
more closely together to find cuts that did
not affect services. A closer analysis of
spending could have found areas where
money is wasted, she said.
The community group Baltimoreans
United in Leadership Development, or
BUILD, considered the mayor’s action a
victory after it rallied hundreds to push for
more funding for after-school programs
and community schools.
The Rev. Andrew Foster Connors,
BUILD’s co-chair, said the city “couldn’t go
back to business as usual” after the riots
spurred by the death of Freddie Gray from
injuries suffered in police custody.
“This will mean we can sustain programs
and keep promises to children,” he said.
The mayor said she originally cut $4.2
million in funding for youth programs to
help close a $60 million budget deficit. Her
budget proposal recommended allocating
$265 million for public school students
from kindergarten through high school.
City schools are largely funded by the state
of Maryland, which has dedicated $932
million to Baltimore’s schools next year.
Young and the council’s budget chairwoman, Councilwoman Helen Holton, said
this month that they would refuse to
approve the mayor’s spending plan without
the extra money for after-school programs.
That would leave the city without author-
ized funding for the fiscal year that starts
next month.
Rawlings-Blake has said she tried to
compromise with Young, and pointed to her
suggestion to sell some of the city’s parking
garages to raise money. Young has rejected
that plan.
Councilman Brandon Scott said the cuts
Rawlings-Blake proposed Monday could
have been avoided if the council had gone
along with her proposal to sell the garages.
“I am happy the money is being restored”
for youth programs, Scott said. “At the same
time, it is still unfortunate there has to be
cuts to make it happen. The city doesn’t
have a money tree.”
Young said he will continue to push to
save more youth programs. He wants the
city to pay $167,000 to keep day care open at
Waverly and Northwood schools.
Holton said she was “dissatisfied” with a
breakdown in communication between the
council and the administration.
“The thing about resolving differences is
staying engaged in the conversation,” Holton said.
“Honest minds can agree to differ, that is
the road to compromise. We were on a path
of compromise. … Once again, this is an
executive decision being made. This is not
the makings of a compromise.”
Rawlings-Blake said she has welcomed
“constructive dialogue.”
She said one of her major responsibilities
as Baltimore’s chief executive is to ensure
the city keeps a strong bond rating and
remains on sound financial footing. During
her tenure, the mayor said, she has
introduced a beverage tax to provide money
for new schools and increased funding for
summer jobs programs.
In her proposed budget, Rawlings-Blake
said she increased spending on the school
system by $10 million compared to the
current fiscal year. The increase came while
closing the budget gap, paying for police
body cameras and cutting $20 million from
the police budget.
“Let me be clear: I care deeply and am
passionate about the city’s children and to
imply otherwise is not based on the facts,”
she said.
In a related issue, a City Council
committee adjourned Monday without
approving the school system’s budget for
next year because the system said it
received $2.8 million less than it expected
from the city.
The state Department of Education is
evaluating whether the city owes the
schools the money. State officials are
expected to make a ruling in the coming
days.
The discrepancy stems from a 15-year
agreement under which the city agreed to
pay the schools $2.8 million annually
toward benefits. School officials told the
council committee that the money is
budgeted next year for per-pupil expenditures, charter school funding and other
general fund expenses.

Protect the public,
not the gun makers
Why was it so easy for the radical
domestic terrorist to obtain an AR-15-style
rifle, a weapon designed for military use
(“FBI: Orlando nightclub gunman had
‘strong indications of radicalization,” June
13)? The AR-15 is known as a semiautomatic assault rifle which accepts
large- capacity magazines that allow potential terrorists to quickly fire 60 or 100
bullets without reloading.
Assault weapons should never be allowed for sale to the general public. A
Federal Assault Weapons Ban, a subsection
of the Violent Crime Control and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994, was allowed by
Congress to expire more than a decade ago.
Congress needs to act now to keep
assault weapons out of the hands of
potential mass killers like the one who
killed nearly 50 people in Orlando or the
killer of 20 young elementary school kids
in Connecticut in 2012 or last year’s San
Bernardino killers.
U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin was quoted as
saying that Congress needs to be “working
to ensure guns made solely for the
battlefield stay out of the hands of
individuals within our borders.” Congress
needs to protect the people of the United
States, not the firearms industry.
Matt Fenton, Baltimore
Aftermath of a disaster
Imagine the horror as investigators
searched the Pulse nightclub after the
mass shooting there Sunday amid all the
bodies and debris, and the cellphones that
continued to ring as partners, friends and
families tried in vain to reach their loved
ones (“Across the world, shock and condemnation at Orlando massacre,” June 13).
Those calls will go unanswered forever.
For those in this country who continue to
advocate for access to military-style weapons like the one used in the Orlando
massacre, may you continue to hear the
endless cacophony of those ringing
phones.

Szeliga’s half-hearted stand
One of the first lessons I learned as a
child was based on Maya Angelou’s quote:
“When people show you who they are,
believe them the first time.” I am preparing
to vote in my first federal election this year,
candidates are showing us exactly who
they are, and I do not need to be shown
more than once.
Del. Kathy Szeliga is trying to tiptoe
around her party’s presidential nominee,
and it’s not working. Maryland voters
understand when a candidate is playing
both sides of an issue instead of standing
for what he or she believes (“Kathy Szeliga
says Trump statements on Judge Gonazlo
Curiel are ‘insulting,’ ” June 6).
Delegate Szeliga simply cannot disavow
Donald Trump one day and still support
his candidacy the next. Mr. Trump regularly makes inflammatory and bigoted
remarks, yet she still believes he is fit to be
our commander-in-chief. He proposes one
destructive and draconian policy after
another, yet she still believes he should be
leader of the free world.
Ms. Szeliga’s response to Mr. Trump’s
comments on Judge Curiel’s race was
nothing more than an attempt to sound
principled while failing to take a real stand.
She shouldn’t need more time to mull over
the presumptive Republican presidential
nominee’s comments and tone. If there is
one person who has shown us his true
colors already, it is Donald Trump,
whether he tries to change or not.
Like so many Republican candidates,
Ms. Szeliga is doing what Americans hate
about politicians — trying to have it both
ways and putting politics before principles.
If she truly believed that Mr. Trump’s
comments are as racist and insulting as she
asserts, then she wouldn’t support his
candidacy.

Horror in Orlando
Our view: The script for our reaction to mass shootings is now as tragically familiar
as the events themselves
A
re we so inured to mass shootings that when the worst
one in American history occurs on an early Sunday
morning in Orlando, Fla., we don’t bother to pause for
even a moment to consider the enormity of the tragedy and
horror? It’s not just Donald Trump’s self-congratulatory tweets
about his supposed wisdom when it comes to stopping terrorism
or his bizarre obsession with goading President Barack Obama
into referring to “radical Islam.” He is far from alone in reducing
the slaughter of more than four dozen innocent people to a
talking point in any number of overworn debates that won’t be
resolved by this event any more than they were by the dozens of
senseless mass shootings that came before.
We doubt the first thought of the mothers, fathers, friends and
others who endured the sickening wait in an Orlando hotel lobby
to hear whether their loved ones had lived or died was about the
efficacy of Mr. Obama’s policies to combat ISIS. We suspect they
were much more likely focused on whether the murderer was
motivated by homophobia — for all the advances gays have made
in public acceptance in recent years, the long legacy of bigotry and
hate has hardly been erased. Acquaintances and the father of the
killer reported that he was prone to anti-gay invective, and this
shooting occurred at the same time that authorities in California
reported the arrest of an Indiana man headed to the Los Angeles
gay pride festival with a car full of weapons and explosives,
though his motives were not immediately clear.
What could have been done to protect the young people who
were gunned down? Some of their loved ones said they had
moved in search of a more accepting community and had found it
in Orlando. But all it takes to shatter the peace is one deranged
man — or, rather, one deranged man and a cache of weapons with
no purpose other than killing.
Would better gun control laws have prevented the Pulse
nightclub killings? A familiar debate is already playing out about
the precise details of Omar Mateen’s purchase of the guns — both
bought legally within the last two weeks — and about his previous
encounters with the FBI and apparent history of domestic
violence. But all that is really beside the point. There is no earthly
reason not to adopt measures like universal background checks
and bans on assault weapons — checks and bans that the vast
majority of Americans want — whether they would have stopped
Mateen or not. We don’t need a tragedy like this one to remind us
of it, nor, unfortunately, does history suggest that such an event
will help the cause of sanity. If the Sandy Hook massacre of 20
children by an AR-15-wielding gunman didn’t prompt Congress to
act, it’s quite possible that nothing will. State assault weapons
bans like Maryland’s are important, to be sure, but of limited
effectiveness without federal action. And even if Congress came
to its senses, it would likely do nothing about the millions of guns

like the one Mateen used that are already in circulation.
If there is anything that is certain at this point, it is that no
amount of supposedly tough tactics against the so-called Islamic
State would have stopped this attack. No matter how many ISIS
commanders we captured and tortured, we never would have
learned about Mr. Mateen’s plans. We face an enemy that does not
need to provide targets, training or weapons in order to claim
credit for acts of terror around the world, nor does it need to pose
its agents as refugees to infiltrate this or any other country. A ban
on Muslims entering the United States not only would have made
no difference in this case — Mateen was born in New York state —
but would reinforce the notion of a religious war that ISIS is
trying to perpetuate.
What can we do in a terrible moment like this? Donald Trump
can call Mr. Obama’s response soft — or in some tinfoil-hatinspired lunacy hint that he is somehow complicit in this tragedy
— but the president’s words are the only ones that make sense. We
can stand together as Americans, as a people who reject hate and
bigotry of all kinds, who believe in freedom and the opportunity
to fully express ourselves. We can affirm, as President Obama did,
that an attack on one of us, “regardless of race, ethnicity, religion
or sexual orientation, is an attack on all of us and on the
fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us as a
country. And no act of hate or terror will ever change who we are
or the values that make us Americans.” We cannot always stop
those determined to lash out in hatred, but we can ourselves
reject hatred and the culture of violence that undergirds horrific
attacks like this one. We can honor the victims, support their
families and stay true to who we are as a nation.
Bernie’s exit strategy
Our view: Sanders needs a graceful way to bow out of the Democratic primaries
T
oday’s election in Washington, D.C., marks the official end
of the Democratic presidential primary season, though
Hillary Clinton already sewed up the nomination with big
wins in California, New Jersey and other states earlier this month.
Nonetheless, her only remaining rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders, still hasn’t exited the field. Now is the time for him to find a
graceful way to bow out.
Mr. Sanders’ reluctance to get off the stage may well be due to
more than mere stubbornness. He’s in the position of a man who’s
got a tiger by the tail. He needs to let go of the idea he will be the next
president, but he also needs to hang onto his millions of supporters
so they stay engaged on the Democrats’ side in November’s general
election. And he’s got to persuade them to do so despite the fact that
he’s spent the last six months lambasting Ms. Clinton as antithetical
to everything the progressive insurgency he leads stands for.
Still, over the weekend Mr. Sanders seemed to be coming to
terms with the inevitable. After meeting with President Barack
Obama at the White House on Thursday, he has dropped talk of a
contested convention in Philadelphia this summer, saying merely
that he wants to make sure his supporters’ concerns are addressed.
He’s no longer suggesting there’s a path for him to win the
nomination by “flipping” superdelegates who have signed on for
Ms. Clinton. But he still wants to have an impact on the party’s
platform on the issues important to his supporters. Ms. Clinton
should make every effort to oblige him on that score when the two
meet tonight to hash out a common agenda.
Granted, no one generally pays much attention to party
platforms. But this year could be an exception, because Mr. Sanders
could use any concessions from the Clinton campaign on
substantive matters to show his supporters that their movement has
been heard and that their efforts made a difference. Income
inequality? Ms. Clinton could easily afford a more robust stand on
things like Medicaid expansion and the Earned Income Tax Credit
for low-income workers. Free college tuition? Well, maybe not free,
but perhaps better repayment terms for college debt, or even debt
forgiveness for students who go into careers like teaching or who
participate in some type of national service program.
Ms. Clinton and Mr. Sanders already are in agreement on at least

80 percent of the issues Democratic voters support. They both want
to raise the minimum wage, protect Social Security, fight climate
change by restricting greenhouse gas emissions and create more
jobs. Most of their differences aren’t about whether the party
should support those goals but about how quickly it can achieve
them. The only real sticking point could be Mr. Sanders’ insistence
on changing the party’s delegate-selection process in ways that give
less weight to party insiders and that open up primaries and
caucuses to more of the independent voters who support
progressive candidates.
Mr. Sanders pledged last week to do everything he can to help
Democrats defeat Donald Trump. But he needs space to do that on
his own terms, so long as it doesn’t threaten to create even more of a
rift between the Democratic Party’s establishment and progressive
wings. Mr. Sanders surely knows the Democrats can’t win if the
party is divided and all the enthusiasm is on the GOP side. It needs
the 10 million young, independent and disaffected Democratic
voters Mr. Sanders mobilized who think the system is rigged against
them. It’s his job to persuade them to stick in the Dems’ camp in the
coming fight against Mr. Trump.
Many in the “Bernie or bust” faction in his own movement have
threatened to stay home on Election Day or even to vote for Mr.
Trump, saying they’re so sick of politics as usual that they would
vote for anyone who promised to shake up the system. Mr. Sanders
has got to show those supporters that despite their misgivings,
there’s a big difference between the Democratic and Republican
nominees. In 2000, Ralph Nader’s insurgent movement convinced
just enough progressive voters that there was no real difference
between Al Gore and George W. Bush, which helped Mr. Bush
squeak out a razor-thin margin of victory in Florida that won him
the presidency.
Mr. Sanders needs to remind his supporters that that can happen
again if progressives aren’t strategic in their thinking. And he can
rightfully claim that while the primaries are over, the “political
revolution” that he championed is alive and well and that the
country can look forward to the dawn of a new era in American
politics if he and his supporters will only keep faith in the larger
goals that have fueled his remarkable campaign.

COMMENTARY
We need to talk — about depression
By W. Daniel Hale
T
hree years ago, I stood in the pulpit
of the church where my family had
worshipped for more than three
decades to give the most difficult talk I
have ever had to give — offering reflections
on the life and death of my 36-year-old
daughter, Libby, who had passed away just
a few days before. As I prepared my
remarks, Libby’s sister and brother encouraged me to speak openly about the illness
responsible for her death. If she had died of
cancer, they noted, we would not be
reluctant at all to talk about her battles with
and eventual death from it. But it was not
cancer that took Libby from us. It was
another terrible disease — depression.
Depression was not unfamiliar to me. I
am a clinical psychologist and have devoted much of my research and clinical
work to mood disorders. And I have had
personal experience with depression as
well, having had two serious episodes that
required medical and psychological treatment.
As I looked out over the more than 300
people attending the memorial service that
evening, I didn’t know what type of
response to expect to my remarks about
Libby’s struggles with depression and how
she had eventually taken her own life. But I
felt strongly that I owed it to Libby and to
all those still suffering from depression. It
was time to use this dark moment in my life
to shed light on this crippling and often
lethal illness.
I must confess that I was surprised by
just how many people spoke to my children
and me after the service to express
appreciation for my remarks — their words
spoken with sincerity and purpose. The
refrain, “We need to talk about depression,”
was repeated over and over again in these
conversations. “We need to talk about
depression in our schools.” “We need to
talk about depression in the workplace.”
“We need to talk about depression in our
houses of worship.” “We need to talk about
depression in our homes.”
I was truly heartened by these comments, and especially moved over the next
few weeks when I learned that many of
these concerned individuals followed up
their words with donations to support the
production of an educational video on
depression that we chose to title, “We Need
to Talk.”
Since Libby’s death, I have had many
occasions to share this video and to speak
about depression in educational institutions, religious congregations and workplaces. I have used these opportunities to
encourage audiences to view depression as
an illness, just as they would diabetes or
hypertension, and to recognize that there
are effective treatments. I have focused
particularly on two of the major obstacles
that often interfere with depressed individuals seeking treatment: the stigma still
too often associated with depression and
the sense of hopelessness that is a central
component of depression.
As I have given these talks, I have
watched closely and listened carefully to
discern the information or examples that
have the greatest impact on my audiences.
There is usually some interest in the
research and clinical reports I provide, but
it is clear that the most impactful part of my
presentations is when I share my own
experience with depression. There is
something very powerful about having a
professional speak openly, without any
sense of shame or embarrassment, about
his own struggles with depression and
how, with treatment, he has been able to
return to a full, active life.
As gratifying as it is when I see that I
have helped people by talking openly about
my depression, I must confess that I know I
have passed up other opportunities where
it would have been entirely appropriate
and potentially quite beneficial for me to
share my own experience. And I have had
no reason not to. I know that I can speak
candidly in these situations without jeopardizing my career or my most important
relationships because my colleagues are
fully aware of my mental health history, as
are my wife, children and closest friends.
While it is true that not everyone who
has had a similar experience with depression can talk about it without concern for
their employment or relationships, undoubtedly there are individuals from
various walks of life — health care,
education, religion, government and the
business community — who, like me, have
been successfully treated for depression
and who could speak openly without fear
of harmful repercussions. Imagine the
impact we could have if more of those
suffering in silence with the pain and
despair of depression could hear our
stories of how we were able to emerge from
the dark, lifeless depths of depression and
discover that our lives could once again
include feelings of love, joy and hope.
What a powerful force we could be.

A healthy, humane future
The National Aquarium in
Baltimore plans to send its
dolphins to a seaside
sanctuary by 2020
By John Racanelli
I
was 17 when I met a dolphin named
Spock, the first of many that I’ve
known in my lifetime. As a scuba diver
at a marine park on San Francisco Bay, I
had the job of scrubbing algae off the
concrete walls of the dolphin tank —
Spock’s home — for hours at a time. I loved
it, of course, but even then, I wondered
what Spock’s previous life in the blue
vastness of the open sea must have been
like.
I left that marine park in the early1980s,
and it wasn’t until I came to the National
Aquarium 30 years later that I found
myself once again responsible for the care
of dolphins. By then, I had a very different
outlook. Times had changed, as had our
understanding of the unique welfare needs
of these intelligent animals.
With that knowledge, we at the National
Aquarium are today announcing our
decision to create the nation’s first seaside
dolphin sanctuary and to move our colony
of dolphins there before the end of 2020.
Our quest to find a new way to care for
the dolphins began five years ago. Working
closely with the aquarium’s board of
directors, an internal team weighed many
options, ranging from rebuilding our
existing pools in a more naturalistic style to
moving the dolphins to other accredited
facilities. In the end, we decided that the
best way forward was to create a protected, year-round, seaside refuge for the
dolphins. We didn’t make this decision
because it was the cheapest or easiest
option — it was neither — and it wasn’t a
decision we could have made quickly or
without thoughtful consideration. For us,
the belief that this is the right decision
came down to three things: the dolphins,
our community and our own mission.
It’s right for the dolphins.
We are committed to creating conditions for all of the animals in our care to
thrive. In the dolphins’ case, we know far
more today than 25 years ago, when the
aquarium’s Marine Mammal Pavilion, the
dolphin’s current home, first opened on
Pier 4. Emerging science and consultation
with experts have convinced us that
dolphins do indeed thrive when they can
form social groups, have opportunities to
express natural behaviors and live in a
habitat as similar as possible to that for
which nature so superbly designed them.
It’s right for the communities we serve.
We owe our very existence to the
broader public, and attitudes have evolved.

A tale of two
political parties
By Jules Witcover
W
ith their presumptive presidential nominees now in place,
the two major political parties
face starkly different, and critical, challenges. The Democrats have already taken
impressive steps toward internal unity
approaching the Hillary Clinton campaign. The Republicans, meanwhile, are
deep in disunity over the fallout of Donald
Trump’s selection and his divisive behavior.
The rapid response in Democratic
ranks to Ms. Clinton’s victories over Sen.
Bernie Sanders in four of last Tuesday’s six
state primaries, including California, was
breath-taking. Mr. Sanders quickly congratulated her, and while he pledged to his
faithful followers that he would remain a
candidate through the primary process
and into Democratic National Convention
late next month, he vowed he would do all
he could to make sure Mr. Trump never
reaches the presidency.
Upon returning from California, Mr.
Sanders paid a courtesy call to President
Barack Obama at the White House, where
Mr. Obama praised his strong campaign
effort that brought millions of new voters
to the party. Then the Obama staff swiftly
aired unequivocal remarks by the president endorsing Ms. Clinton in the most
effusive terms, as Mr. Sanders held a round
of cordial talks with Senate Minority
Leader Harry Reid and Vice President Joe
Biden. It was a political minuet worthy of a
master ballet impresario. And Mr. Sanders
is expected to meet with Ms. Clinton
tonight to see, as he told CBS’ John
Dickerson, “what kind of platform she is
going to support and in fact how aggressive she is going to be in addressing the
major crises that we face.”
All this time, the Republicans continue
to wallow in the mud of Mr. Trump’s
incredible campaign blunder that capped
his own successful nomination run
through the primaries. His pivot to a petty
fight with the federal judge presiding over
a civil suit alleging fraud by the defunct
Trump University immediately threw him
and his campaign onto the defensive.
Mr. Trump’s immense success in capturing the GOP nomination weeks before
Ms. Clinton cemented her own party’s
nomination has now been squandered,
and he is obliged to spend the weeks until
the Cleveland convention trying to recover campaign momentum lost by his
own undisciplined and politically suicidal
remarks.

Children watch the dolphins at the National Aquarium in Baltimore in this 2012 photo.
“Flipper,” for millennials it was “Free
Willy.” Through feedback painstakingly
gathered over 10 years, we have learned
that the American public is increasingly
uneasy with the notion of keeping dolphins and whales in captivity. These
beliefs matter to us.
It’s right for the National Aquarium.
We, too, have evolved — from an
entertaining sea life attraction to a nonprofit aquatic conservation organization.
We have built a remarkably talented team
of people who know how to tackle this
complex task, and their dedication to the
dolphins’ welfare is inspiring. We have
already begun imagining ways to repurpose the space the dolphins will vacate in a
few years, many of which will better
achieve our conservation goals. Ultimately,
both those new facilities and the sanctuary
itself can serve to advance our mission to
inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic
treasures.
While we have more work to do, our
research has identified several specific
criteria necessary for the sanctuary to
succeed. It will be an outdoor, seawater
facility in a tropical year-round climate,
ideally located where dolphins already
exist in the wild. The site we choose will be
significantly larger than the dolphins’
current living space, in a setting that
provides more natural stimuli for the
dolphins, such as fish and marine plants.
Humans will care for and interact with the
dolphins for their entire lives, and the
operating principle will be “dolphins first”
with emphasis on the individual needs of
the dolphins. An important function of the
sanctuary will be to allow qualified
scientists to carry out studies not feasible
in either an open-ocean or aquarium
setting, in fields like communication,
behavior, cognition and bioacoustics.
We face unique challenges in this
DOONESBURY BY GARRY TRUDEAU
endeavor, not the least of which is that all
but one of the dolphins in our care have
never lived in the ocean. They have never
before felt the rain on their dorsal fins,
chased a mullet along a mangrove shore or
teased a startled crab. They will need to
learn how to be ocean-dwelling dolphins,
in a place with its own set of risks like
pollution, noise, jellyfish and red tides, and
we will help them build those skills.
The aquarium team, which includes a
staff of 450 and 960 volunteers, is working
to overcome the challenges and advance
our understanding of dolphins, starting
with a set of principles and practices that
will guide the development and operation
of this sanctuary. Concurrently, a site
selection team is evaluating locations in
Florida and the Caribbean. We are studying things like microbiomes, immunology
and habitat enrichment to ensure that the
decisions we make are the right ones.
With today’s announcement, we are
taking the next step, and I am both
honored and humbled that our aquarium,
a Baltimore institution, is leading the way.
Although this decision is about a group of
dolphins, it is every bit as much about our
humanity; for the way a society treats the
animals with whom it shares this planet
speaks volumes about us.
I often think about how much we have
learned since those long-ago swims alongside Spock and his mates. Yet I am struck
by how much we have still to learn if we are
to secure a healthy future for dolphins,
whales and the natural systems that give us
all life. Building this dolphin sanctuary is
the right step to take, and now is the time to
take it.

quite a bit of capability to
carry out attacks in (Iraq
and Syria) as well as beyond, so this is going to be a
long, hard fight,” Brennan
said.
As the slaughter of 49
patrons at a gay nightclub
in Orlando early Sunday
made clear, the Obama administration is battling a
multifront war against Islamic State, with more
American casualties on the
home front than overseas.
“Everybody is focused
on the destruction of the
caliphate,” said Christopher Harmer, a former
Pentagon strategist now at
the Institute for the Study
of War, a nonpartisan public policy group in Washington, D.C. “But the more
daunting task will be combating their ideology to
inspire attacks, which is a
virtually impossible problem to solve.”
No evidence indicates
the Orlando gunman, Omar
Mateen, had contact with
or support from Islamic
State or any other terrorist
group, officials said Monday. He had professed allegiance to the leader of
Islamic State in a call to
police Sunday. He died in a
shootout with police.
Mateen’s self-radicalization, apparently from extremist websites and other
online material, is part of a
trend that has confounded
the Obama administration.
“Even as we hit their
leadership, even as we go
after their infrastructure …
one of the biggest challenges we are going to have
is this kind of propaganda
and perversions of Islam
that you see generated on
the internet,” President Barack Obama said Monday at
the White House.
The U.S. military portrays the domestic attacks
in part as a sign of the
growing pressure it is
putting on Islamic State in
Syria and Iraq.
“We know they continue
to look for opportunities to
make spectacular, headline
grabbing attacks, in part to
make up for their losses on
the battlefield in both Iraq
and Syria,” Col. Christopher Garver, spokesman
for the U.S.-led coalition in
Baghdad, wrote in an email.
But the evidence is
scanty.
Islamic State has urged
followers since 2014, when
it was at its peak, to mount
attacks in the U.S., Europe
and other regions.
Nothing suggests that
Mateen, or the couple who
gunned down 14 people in
San Bernardino, Calif., in
December, did so to avenge
Islamic State’s battlefield
setbacks.
While the militants remain entrenched in cities
and towns, by any measure
the group’s losses are substantial and growing.
At the same time, Islamic
State in Iraq has ramped up
a deadly series of suicide
bombings in Baghdad in an
apparent attempt to rekindle sectarian strife between Sunnis and Shiites
and to destabilize the central government.

BRITAIN
With tears, song and

London’s gay nightlife district, on Monday evening.
Bearing rainbow flags and

JFK’s Hangar 17
nearly empty after
giving out artifacts
By Vera Haller
Special to Tribune Newspapers
NEW YORK — A musty
smell hangs in the air as
pigeons swoop from the
rafters and rainwater pools
near a door. In the dim light,
a battered Port Authority
police cruiser sits abandoned — its twisted trunk
popped open, the windshield gone and the front
end bashed in.
Since the terror attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001, the relics of
the World Trade Center —
shafts of broken metal,
warped elevator doors, a
crushed taxi — have been
entombed here in Hangar 17
at John F. Kennedy International Airport. But its somber purpose, as a way station
for remembrances of 9/11, is
ending. The final few pieces
of that September morning
are being carted out of the
cavernous structure.
Soon Hangar 17 will be
empty, its mission complete.
The large, significant
items – such as the huge
steel tridents from the facade of the North Tower and
the damaged firetrucks and
ambulances that roared to
the scene only to be crushed
after they arrived – have
been placed in the National
September 11 Memorial &
Museum in lower Manhattan and in the state museums of New York and New
Jersey, said Steve Coleman, a
spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and
New Jersey, which owns the
World Trade Center site.
The rest has been parceled out to towns across the
country, U.S. military bases
and embassies and foreign
nations where they are required to be publicly displayed as part of smaller 9/11
memorials.
The numbers are staggering. Some 2,500 items have
been distributed to about
1,440
municipalities,

A Port Authority police car is one of the few 9/11 relics left in the soon-to-be-closed Hangar 17 at John F. Kennedy Airport.
schools, fire departments,
nonprofits and other groups
and foundations, said Amy
Passiak, the archivist who
has been supervising the
dissemination project since
2010.
“It’s been a very humbling
experience,” Passiak said as
she walked through the
hangar on a recent morning.
“I have met people from
every aspect and association
of this event — survivors,
family members (of victims),
emergency personnel, recovery personnel from all
over the country, representatives of other countries
whose civilians were killed.”
One of the few relics still
awaiting placement is a jumble of twisted steel, metal
mesh and concrete, a blob of
debris that looks as if it’s part
salvage yard junk and part
modern sculpture. It is, in
fact, material from what
came to be called “the pile,”
the ton upon ton of crushed
remains from the collapsed
towers.
For Passiak and officials of
the Port Authority, the goal
of distributing these relics —
even to places that might not
have a direct connection to
the terrorist attack — has
been to keep alive the memory of 9/11.
“Because it was such a
unifying event, I think that a
lot of smaller towns, emergency services and schools
really want to create a continuing knowledge about
what happened and find a
way of connecting it to U.S.
history,” Passiak said.
On this day, Passiak was
preparing for two rusted
train tracks recovered from
the commuter rail line
underneath the trade center
to be picked up by “the
Iowans,” as she called her
expected guests. Just before
11 a.m.,a white Chevy pickup
truck pulled into a lot next to
the hangar as a jet lifted off
from a nearby runway and
rumbled overhead.
Out of the truck stepped
Elaine and Tom Howard, a
retired couple from Hamburg, Iowa, who had arranged through a community booster organization,
Hometown Pride, to secure
the tracks for a memorial in
their town’s Heroes Park.
They had driven the
nearly 1,300 miles to New
York City to personally deliver the train tracks back to
Hamburg and its 1,187 residents. “What better place to
have a little piece of the
World Trade Center than
Heroes Park,” said Elaine
Howard, 67.
The tracks were not so
little. Each section, about 10
feet long, weighed approximately 600 pounds. The
Howards’ faces fell when a
Port Authority worker who
had transported the tracks to
their vehicle on a forklift
expressed doubt that they
would fit into the truck’s bed.
The tracks did, in the end,
fit, although a slightly longer
one jutted out a bit. They
were secured with heavy
chains for the drive home.
The fact that the hangar is
now nearly empty is gratifying to Amory Houghton, a
former Port Authority executive who first oversaw
Hangar 17, beginning in
2002, when it was filled to
the brim with steel beams,
damaged emergency vehicles and other debris
brought from the World
Trade Center site to save
them for posterity.
“The goal all along has
been to have some of this
steel in as many places as it
could possibly be,” said
Houghton, who left the Port
Authority in 2007.
He recalled bringing in
preservationists and archivists to begin the daunting
process of cataloging and
protecting the relics. “We
were part laboratory, part
historical archive and part
morgue,” he said.
Hearing that most of the
World Trade Center objects
now were placed elsewhere,
Houghton said, “I’m really
happy that this stuff has
been spread out all over the
place. … I think it just keeps it
alive given the inevitability
that the longer time passes
the more memory fades.”
The Howards’ was one of
the final pickups at Hangar
17, which the Port Authority
devices that teams of rangers could use on the ground.
Patrols will be launched
in Queen Elizabeth National Park in western
Uganda in the coming
months. Uganda is home to
some of the world’s most
threatened ecosystems. Andrew Plumptre, director of
the Albertine Rift Program
for the Wildlife Conservation Society in Uganda, said
he was eager to see the app
put to the test.
Plumptre said ranger patrols comprise the greatest
portion of the Uganda Wildlife Authority’s budget for
all of its parks and wildlife
reserves, and recent studies
show an average of 42
percent of households
around two of Uganda’s key
elephant strongholds admitted to hunting in the
parks in the past year.
In Malaysia, where
Tambe and his researchers
teamed with the wild cats
conservation group Panthera to test guided patrols
using the artificial intelligence technology, the program yielded positive outcomes.
A research paper written
by the USC team, Panthera
and other researchers noted
that PAWs was able to guide
rangers toward poaching
hot spots by suggesting feasible and detailed routes.
But they also found limitations.
For example, one of the
routes PAWS suggested for
rangers on foot patrol in
Uganda traversed a body of
water, forcing the wardens
to walk along the water’s
edge and slowing them
down. The technology was
also unable to provide detailed patrol routes in large
conservation areas, and
questions remain about
maintaining and upgrading
the software, Tambe said.
Sean Willmore, president
of the International Ranger
Federation that includes 71
member associations on six
continents, said that while
technology is important in
the fight to protect wildlife,
it is “not the silver bullet.”
“I don’t want to dismiss
the technology, but it is
pointless if we don’t have
rangers who are trained and
rangers who can use that
technology,” Willmore said.
He also stressed rangers’
expects to close later this
summer when the last of the
relics are cleared out. The
structure, dating to the
1960s, probably will be
razed, the space used for
other airport purposes, possibly aircraft parking, Coleman said.
The three biggest pieces
still left inside – concrete
slabs from the parking garage, a mangled elevator motor and a section of the
antenna (each estimated to
weigh about 20 tons) — are
to be picked up in the next
few weeks by representatives of the Stephen Siller
Tunnel to Towers Foundation of Staten Island, named
after a firefighter killed on
Sept. 11.
A set of steel beams was
going to an engineers’ union
in Queens. Still left were
additional train tracks and
the material from the pile,
which Passiak said she
hoped to place with organizations that had expressed
interest in obtaining relics.
Also unclaimed was the
lone Port Authority police
car, dust from the World
Trade Center debris still
coating its blue-and-white
paint.
“I think we’ll find a home
for it, too,” Coleman said.

POACHING
Artificial intelligence-driven app could help
rangers turn tide on animal slaughter
By Ann M. Simmons |
Tribune Newspapers
LOS ANGELES — The newest weapon in the fight against wildlife poaching and illegal
logging doesn’t rely solely on boots or bullets, but on a computer software application
driven by artificial intelligence.
Called Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security, or PAWS, the app uses algorithms –
similar to the mathematical models used to power computer games – to devise strategies
for defeating those who seek to destroy nature.
Thousands of animals are
illegally slaughtered each
year for their ivory, skin and
bones for use in traditional
medicines and feeding
black market demand,
while others meet their
death at the hands of trophy
hunters, in what the World
Wildlife Fund refers to as “a
global poaching crisis.”
Last year, around 30,000
elephants and a record 1,338
rhinos were killed in Africa,
while tens of thousands of
other animals were
poached and trafficked,
“feeding an illegal wildlife
trade that is increasingly
being driven by international organized crime,” the
conservation group said in a
recent statement.
Developed in 2013 and
still in the test phase, the
PAWS software analyzes
data on terrain, topography,
routes most frequently used
by animals and paths traveled by poachers, said Milind Tambe, a computer
scientist and professor of
industrial systems engineering at University of
Southern California who
developed the technology
with his doctoral students.
The Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation funded
the research.
“We can do pattern rec-
ognition, essentially building a model and predicting
poachers’ activity based on
their past actions,” Tambe
said. “We can build up
predictions of where
poachers may strike. Then
that allows us to generate
patrol strategies that would
be effective against those
types of poachers. “
For example, the system
can generate random patrol
routes for rangers in order
to keep potential poachers
guessing about the whereabouts of the wardens.
The technology has been
tested in Malaysia and
Uganda, where it was
loaded onto handheld GPS

figurines and rhino
horns in Nairobi, Kenya,

need for basic field equipment, such as wet weather
gear and mosquito nets.
In addition, technology
can do little to predict how
poachers might react when
discovered by rangers, Willmore said, and encounters
with poachers can prove
lethal. According to ranger
federation statistics, an estimated 100 rangers are killed
on the job each year.
Around 70 percent of them
were murdered by poachers, Willmore said.
PAWS researchers said
the technology was not intended to overshadow the
practical needs of rangers.
“We’re building a decision aid,” Tambe said. “We
are saying to the rangers
here is a tool that may
effectively help you.”

Evergreen sues
over ACA rule
Md. health co-op contends risk adjustment
program places it at an unfair disadvantage
By Sarah Gantz
The Baltimore Sun
AMY DAVIS/BALTIMORE SUN 2015
Evergreen Health Cooperative staff members are shown at work. The 3-year-old co-op
says the Obamacare rule requiring insurers with healthier members to make payments to
those with sicker, costlier members jeopardizes its future.
Evergreen Health Cooperative sued the
federal government Monday over a program that could force it to make a huge
payment to larger insurance companies and
compromise the 3-year-old company’s future.
The lawsuit marks a critical departure
for Evergreen CEO Peter Beilenson, a
longtime advocate for the Affordable Care
Act, President Barack Obama’s insurance
reform designed to extend health coverage
to more Americans.
The federal law requires insurers with
healthier members to make payments to
those with sicker, costlier members.
In the lawsuit filed Monday in U.S.
District Court, Evergreen says it expects to
owe between $18 million and $22 million
this year, or about a quarter of its $85
million premium revenue in 2015, under the
so-called risk adjustment program.

Lockers in area stores
cut shipping costs,
deter porch thefts
By Jonathan Capriel
The Baltimore Sun
Baltimore-area Amazon customers,
some frustrated by package theft, now have
another option for delivery than their front
steps and porches.
The online retail giant, which opened a
massive distribution center in East Baltimore last year, has brought its Amazon
Locker program to the region, setting up
nine self-service package pickup points.
Most of the nine Baltimore-area Amazon
Lockers are inside Shoppers Food and
Pharmacy stores.
Amazon emails a customer a unique
digital code that they can enter into a touch
screen on the high-tech cabinets, which
opens a compartment in the locker with
their package.
“I first thought, ‘Who is going to use
these?’” said Gino Polsinelli, store director
of the Shoppers on Fort Avenue in Riverside, where Amazon set up the locker two
weeks ago. “But they’ve really taken off. The
first day they were used, there was a line of
people coming to pick up their packages.”
The lockers are a smart move that serves
two goals for the retail giant — reducing

operations management at Loyola University Maryland.
Delivering to a single location is cheaper

Nominations sought for the
Baltimore region’s top workplaces
Most Americans spend roughly a third
of their working years on the job, so
shouldn’t we all aim to work somewhere
that challenges and rewards and feels
worthwhile?
At a time when the unemployment rate
in Maryland has fallen to 4.6
percent, below the national average, and competition for qualified
workers is heating up, many
workplaces are looking for an
edge in the hiring market.
For the past five years, The
Baltimore Sun Media Group’s Top
Workplaces has showcased those
companies in the region that
demonstrably can call themselves
the region’s top places to work.
Employees of these companies say they
enjoy going to work and use words like
“team” and even “family” to describe their
sense of belonging.
The Sun is seeking nominations for its
sixth annual list of the region’s top
workplaces.
Last year, 100 companies were recognized as Top Workplaces in the Baltimore
region, encompassing the city and Anne
Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford and
Howard counties.
Does your company have what it takes
to make the list or even top it in 2016?
Anyone can suggest a company —
employees, customers, executives, even
interns. It doesn’t matter if the workplace
is profit or nonprofit, privately
owned or publicly held. Companies must employ at least 35
people to qualify.
Employees of nominated
firms that choose to participate
will be asked to respond to a
short survey this summer by The
Sun’s partner, WorkplaceDynamics, which has conducted
Top Workplace surveys for more
than 30 news organizations
across the country.
The surveys will be used to rank the top
companies. Winners will be announced at
an event and featured in a special
magazine in early December.
To nominate a company, go to baltimoresun.com/nominate or call 410-779-9337.

Retailers from Best Buy to Target offer

The lockers also could be a response to
package theft, which some in Baltimore say
is a growing problem.
“When a package is stolen, Amazon has
to eat the cost and figure out a way to deliver
the product to the customer,” Srinivasan
said. “The lockers will reduce their overall
costs.”
About 23 million Americans have had
packages stolen from their doorsteps, according to a 2015 report from InsuranceQuotes.com.

LinkedIn, which lets members network with other professionals, will keep its name.
Microsoft says it will buy
LinkedIn for $26.2 billion
Network will
continue as an
independent unit
By Barbara Ortutay
Associated Press
NEW YORK — In a
surprise move, Microsoft
said Monday that it is
buying LinkedIn for about
$26.2 billion, a deal that
could bring subtle but significant changes for the
professional network’s
more than 430 million
members.
LinkedIn will remain an
independent unit of Microsoft. It will keep its name,
and current CEO Jeff
Weiner will stay on and
report directly to Microsoft
CEO Satya Nadella.
LinkedIn lets members
network with other professionals, upload their resumes, catch up on career
advice and search for jobs.
For Microsoft, the deal
presents an opportunity to
cement itself as the tech
company for the world’s
professionals, helping them
find jobs, learn new skills
and do their work.
Microsoft will also look
for ways to combine Microsoft’s software for workers
with the information
stored in LinkedIn’s online
professional network.
For instance, Nadella
said Microsoft’s digital assistant, Cortana, could
mine LinkedIn for helpful
data. “Cortana can wake up
before you go into a meeting and inform you about
all the people you are meeting for the first time and the
connections you have with
them,” he said.
Similarly, he said,
LinkedIn’s “news feed” —
which provides articles and
updates from your contacts
on the network — could
highlight information
that’s relevant to a project
you might be working on
using Microsoft Office 365
software. LinkedIn users
might see changes in the
first year after the deal is
closed, Nadella said.
Microsoft may also integrate its business software with LinkedIn’s
growing business of providing sales professionals
with contacts and information to help make sales to
large companies.
LinkedIn, based in
Mountain View, Calif. is by
far Microsoft’s largest acquisition. Microsoft Corp.,
which is in Redmond,
Wash., is paying $196 for
each share of LinkedIn
Corp., a 50 percent premium over the stock’s closing price of $131.08 on
Friday. The deal is expected to close this year.
LinkedIn shares soared
47 percent to $192.21 in
trading Monday. Microsoft
shares slipped nearly 3 percent to $50.14.
LinkedIn’s business and
share price have been rocky
recently.
In February, it gave a
surprise forecast for slower
growth that led to a big
sell-off, wiping out nearly
$11 billion in market value.
The company said at the
time that its adjusted earnings would be 55 cents a
share on revenue of roughly $820 million.
Its stock climbed higher
after it reported betterthan-expected results for
the first quarter, though not
enough to recover from the
earlier plunge.
Microsoft has a mixed
track record with acquisitions, having written off
more than $10 billion it
poured into companies
such as cellphone maker
Nokia. Nadella expressed
confidence that this one
will succeed, citing the
company’s more successful
takeovers of Skype and
Minecraft.

Apple introduces new iOS software Monday at its
annual developer conference in San Francisco.
Apple says it’s making Siri smarter
Apple kicked off its
annual software developer conference with an
artificial intelligence upgrade for Siri.
Apple announced
Monday that the voicecontrolled assistant will
work on Mac desktop and
laptop computers, where
it can locate files and
perform other feats.
Siri will also gain new
capabilities with Apple
TV, where it will let users
launch live TV viewing
with voice command and
search YouTube and the
iTunes store for videos.
Also, Apple is letting Siri
work with applications
made by other companies. The change will
open up new ways for Siri
to help iPhone owners
get things done more
quickly.
Such AI features are
emerging as a major new
tech battleground.
Dish drops Tribune TV stations
Dish Network dropped
Tribune Broadcasting’s
42 television stations
nationwide for 50 million
subscribers in a dispute
over carriage fees.
The blackout, which
began Sunday, pulled the
plug on WPIX in New
York among other stations. It also affected access to WGN America for
7 million subscribers.
“We want to reach an
agreement, just as we
have with every one of
our other cable, satellite
and telco distributors, but
Dish refuses to reach an
agreement based on fairmarket value,” Gary Weitman, spokesman for Chicago-based Tribune Media, said in a news release.
Dish Network provides satellite TV programming to about 14
million subscribers.
THE BOTTOM LINE
is the amount of flights on the largest 12 U.S. airlines that
84.5%
arrived on time in April, better than the previous month
and up from 81.8 percent in April 2015, the Department of Transportation said
Monday. Hawaiian Airlines and Delta Air Lines were the best at staying on schedule, while Spirit Airlines was last, arriving late more than one-fourth of the time.
As airlines do a better job of sticking to schedules, complaints are falling. Consumer complaints about U.S. airlines fell 20 percent to 870 from 1,083 in April 2015.
LOCAL STOCKS
U.S. stocks fell for a third day Monday as
investors wondered what the Federal Reserve
will do with interest rates later this week and
anxiously awaited the fate of Britain’s
membership in the European Union. The Fed

McDonald’s is moving
back to Chicago and into
the old home of “The
Oprah Winfrey Show.”
The world’s biggest
hamburger chain said
Monday that it signed a
lease to move its corporate
headquarters in 2018 from
the leafy suburbs of Oak
Brook, Ill., to downtown
Chicago.
McDonald’s was previously based in Chicago,
from 1955 to 1971.
McDonald’s is taking
over the space that once
housed Harpo Studios,
where filming of “The
Oprah Winfrey Show” took
place until 2011. Harpo
Studios sold the site to
developers in 2014 for
more than $30 million.
The fast food company
said the move is a way for it
to attract workers who
want to live in cities. Other
companies have announced moves from the
suburbs to cities, including
Kraft Heinz and General
Electric.
McDonald’s Corp. CEO
Steve Easterbrook said the
new site will encourage
innovation and ensure that
“great talent is excited
about where they work.”
The company said it
plans to turn the space into
a “modern setting that fosters collaboration and connectivity.” Its new headquarters will also house a
Hamburger University, a
learning center for future
executives and other employees.

| THE BALTIMORE SUN
Co-op sues over risk adjustment rule
EVERGREEN, From page 1
method for determining how much companies pay or receive under the program
favors older, more well-established companies and puts small firms, like Evergreen, at
a disadvantage. The suit against the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services
and U.S. Centers of Medicare and Medicaid
Services seeks to phase in payments over
several years or delay them temporarily.
While the charge won’t put Evergreen
out of business, it would be a big setback for
one of the most successful and one of the
few remaining health insurance co-ops
established by the health reform law.
The higher-than-expected fee could
wipe out nearly half of Evergreen’s reserve
cash, the suit said, putting the co-op’s
solvency at risk, and destroy plans to meet a
major milestone in 2016 — profitability.
“We’re quite confident we’ll survive,”
Beilenson said. “But this is an outrageous
sum of money being sent from one insurer
to another that doesn’t need it and doesn’t
deserve it.”
Beilenson said he was told by federal
regulators that CareFirst BlueCross
BlueShield, the largest insurer in the state,
would be the primary recipient of risk
adjustment payments in Maryland.
A spokesperson for the Centers of
Medicare and Medicaid declined to comment because litigation is continuing. CareFirst declined to comment.
The risk adjustment program was put in
place under the federal health reform law to
protect insurance companies that would be
taking on sicker members, as the law
prevented them from denying coverage to
people because of a pre-existing illness.
Regulators give a health plan’s members
a risk rating based on their age, gender,
medical history and other factors. Risk
ratings are compared against the state
average, and plans that have healthier-thanaverage members pay into the program,
while those with sicker-than-average and
riskier members receive money.
Evergreen argues in its lawsuit that, in
practice, the program means small companies must pay out sizable portions of their
revenue to some of the biggest insurers in
the business.
Large insurers who have been in business
for decades are better at estimating their
members’ health, while small companies
lack the technical sophistication and the
years of medical history to provide as
accurate an estimate and, as a result, appear
to have healthier members, the suit contends.
The payments are a significant burden
for small companies with relatively small
operating budgets and reserves, Beilenson
said. The hardship the payments create for
small companies contrast sharply to the
benefit they offer the large recipients,
Beilenson said. While $22 million represents about a quarter of Evergreen’s 2015
revenue, CareFirst has a reserve of about
$1.5 billion.
Co-ops, or consumer-oriented and -operated plans, are insurance companies
governed by a board of their members. The
health reform law offered loans that helped
create 23 co-ops nationwide. Lawmakers
saw the program as a way to inject more
competition into a market dominated by
large corporations.
These newcomers had to build a membership base from scratch, establish a
network of doctors and figure out the right
price for plans, all while competing against
larger insurers with deep-rooted reputations. Co-ops had been counting on new
online insurance marketplaces, also created
by the ACA, to boost early enrollment and
many suffered when these new exchanges
experienced technical problems.
Maryland’s launch problems were
among the nation’s worst, and Evergreen
shifted focus to the small-business market
to survive initially.
Other rules created by the health law to
spread the risk of covering more people,
who previously were denied insurance and
were expected to enroll in droves, also
challenged co-ops. One such program was
supposed to pay back insurance companies
for exorbitant costs. Some co-ops closed
when the federal government said it
wouldn’t deliver on that promise.
Only 11 co-ops remain operating.
“If you’re looking for the fundamental
flaw, it’s not the risk adjustment program,”
said Sabrina Corlette, a senior research
professor at the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at Georgetown University’s
Health Policy Institute. “It’s that they were
given very few resources to enter a market
that has notoriously high barriers to entry
and is expensive to enter.”
The charge will reduce Evergreen’s
reserves from $25.5 million to $13 million,
just above the $11 million required by the
state to cover the claims of its roughly
40,000 members.
The payment will leave Evergreen with a
266 percent risk-based capital ratio, a
complex formula the Maryland Insurance
Administration uses to determine a company’s financial stability. The state is
required to investigate if an insurer’s
risk-based capital ratio falls to 200 percent.
The payment blows the co-op’s chance of
turning a profit for the first time this year.
The company had expected a profit of
between $1 million and $2 million, but
instead would lose $11 million, about the
same as last year.

“You tend to think young, single, male,”
said Hank Boyd, a clinical professor of
marketing at Maryland’s Robert H. Smith
School of Business. “The group is becoming
more broad, more diverse. It’s become a
cultural phenomenon.”
Americans already spend more on video
games than on going to the movies — nearly
$17 billion last year, compared to a little
more than $11 billion on movies, according
to figures in a new report from PwC, a
global accounting and consulting firm. And
New York-based SuperData Research
projects global revenue for eSports in 2016
to reach $892.8 million.
On May 24, the website Twitch began
streaming live coverage of eLeague, a series
of professional tournaments created by
TimeWarner’s Turner Broadcasting and
talent agency WME | IMG. Games also are
televised Friday nights on TBS.
eLeague players compete in “Counter
Strike: Global Offensive” — a shooting game
that requires teamwork — and are based in
Turner’s 10,000-square-foot arena in Atlanta, which is equipped with 26 cameras
and features live studio audiences.
Teams of five players each, with names
like Ninjas in Pyjamas and Luminosity,
compete for a $1.4 million purse. The
players — sometimes shown in gladiator
poses and wearing eLeague shirts — are
interviewed during the coverage. Fans’
comments about the unfolding games fly up
the right side of the screen.
Turner said the live coverage on Twitch,
its distribution partner, generated 4.3 million video starts during the tournament’s
first four days. The coverage on TBS, a
Turner station, averaged 509,000 viewers
during its initial Friday prime-time broadcast.
“We’ve seen really rich engagement”

Members of the team G2 eSports take a
timeout to discuss strategy during their
competition against Ninjas in Pyjamas at
the eLeague Arena at Turner Studios.
from 18- to 34-year-olds, said Craig Barry,
chief content officer for Turner Sports.
Barry expects the audience to grow as
narratives are developed around popular
players. Ultimately, the network hopes to
develop a soap-opera like roster of heroes
and villains.
The new league may feel marginal to
some, Barry said, but it’s no more obscure
than some Olympic sports.
“You have a two-week period where
everybody tunes in to the Olympics.
They’re watching sports they don’t usually
watch,” he said. “I once found myself
watching curling because I was emotionally
connected to this one curling athlete.”
To make the eLeague more compelling,
the producers allow viewers to see images
hidden from players. For example, only the
audience might see a player hiding behind a
door — a device intended to create tension
for spectators.
A key to eSports’ fan attraction is their
social nature, Boyd said.
“You can have a live chat window and
talk to other folks and say, ‘I’m a gamer,
you’re a gamer,’” he said. “They can share
some of the nuanced points with you.”
The players, too, must interact frequently. It’s a much different experience
than playing games alone.
Andy Zhang, 18, a Maryland student and
former teammate of Alonso’s, likens the
teamwork to basketball.
“Basketball has roles like the point
guard,” he said. “In League of Legends there
are five roles, too, and there’s that feeling
you get when you make a really good play
and your whole team congratulates you.”
Some might wonder whether video
gaming should be considered a sport.
“I would absolutely define it as a sport,”
Alonso said. “It’s a lot like chess but a lot
faster, obviously. You have the mechanical
aspect of pointing the mouse and pressing
the buttons on the keyboard.”
The Big Ten Network is considering
adding coverage of video games involving
the conference’s college teams.
“We want to take the next step and
include all of the schools that are participating,” said Jordan Maleh, director of digital
and consumer marketing for BTN, which
broadcast an exhibition contest in April in
partnership with Riot Games, creator of
League of Legends. Ohio State defeated
Michigan State in the game.
“We’re talking about a whole new fan
base that, to be honest, may not even know
what the three letters [BTN] stand for,”
Maleh said. “It’s a whole new, youngerskewed fan base.”

Deliveries deter ‘porch pirates’
LOCKERS, From page 1
asked about the decision to roll out the new
lockers, which first launched in New York,
Seattle and London in 2011, but now can be
found in a growing number of cities. It
partners with grocery and convenience
stores to host the lockers, paying the
retailers a fee.
Aaron Toso, an Amazon spokesman,
declined to answer questions about package
theft and whether it played a role in the
locker program.
“Customers wanted more options for
delivery. We are adding lockers in cities all
over the country, including Baltimore, and
we’ll be looking for ways to expand the
service,” Toso wrote. “Customers like the
added convenience of a locker option.”
But for online consumers like Ben Foote,
35, the lockers are more of a necessary
inconvenience.
“Some people are happy because they’re
going to start using the lockers,” said Foote,
a father of two. “But that’s just another step
you have to go through to get your package.”
Foote, who lives in Canton, said he’s had
many package stolen from his doorstep.
“I’ve had a cellphone stolen, boxes of
diapers and just random stuff,” Foote said.
“I had a textbook stolen from when I was in
graduate school. I was laughing about that.
What are you going to do with a software
engineering textbook?”
Foote said he isn’t the only victim in his
neighborhood. Thieves often descend on
his part of the city, where rowhouses and
their front steps are close to the street
offering little cover for a delivered package,
Foote said.
Aside from anecdotal evidence and what
people post on Nextdoor and Reddit, it’s
difficult to quantify how big a problem
package theft is in Baltimore.
The city police don’t track package theft
separately from larceny.
An estimated 40 percent of Amazon
items are shipped through the U.S. Postal
Service, almost 150 million packages, according to an analysis done by Bernstein
Research in 2015.
More than 2,300 people were arrested
nationwide for mail theft in 2015, according
to Frank Schissler of the U.S. Postal
Inspection Service, the law enforcement
arm of the USPS. A little more than 2,000 of
those resulted in convictions.
There were 14,000 mail theft cases
initiated by postal inspectors, Schissler said.
Those cases include both parcel and
envelope thefts, and a single case could
encompass several individual claims of mail
theft.
A breakdown of Baltimore-area numbers
was not immediately available, but Schissler
said that the number of mail theft cases in
Baltimore was not higher than in other
major cities.
Some city residents who’ve lost packages
to so-called “porch pirates” hope to deter or
catch thieves with video surveillance.
Aaron Allen, 34, who lives in Waverly,
installed two porch security cameras after
his Amazon package was stolen in March.
“They sent out a replacement box with
all of the items I ordered,” Allen said. “I just
had them send it to a friend’s house who’s
home during the day, but I don’t want to do
that long-term. I hope that by setting up
these cameras, I can dissuade people from
doing it again.”

ASK AMY
AMY DICKINSON
DEAR AMY: I am the proud
big sister of my 18-year-old
brother “Baxter.”
His last day of high school
was yesterday, and he is set to
graduate in a few weeks. He
earned a 4.0 throughout high
school and has worked really
hard for four years.
He called me yesterday (I
live out of state) and told me
about his last day at school.
Then he dropped a bombshell on me, when he said,
“Don’t tell Mom, but I smoked a
lot of weed today!”
Amy, I was shocked! We grew
up in a no-alcohol, no-smoking
household. Now I don’t know
what to do. Do I keep his secret?
Do I spill to our mom?
I know he’s worked so hard,
so I think he was celebrating
and maybe rebelling a little bit,
since he was the “perfect”
student for so long.
I don’t want this to be a
steppingstone to more bad decisions for him. What should I
do? — Worried in Wisconsin
DEAR WORRIED: This is not
necessarily a binary choice between either telling or not
telling. You can choose to stay
quiet now, but change your
mind later.
It might be best for you to
communicate
your
next
thoughts in text form, rather
than talking to him about this.
You can write: “First, I want
you to know that I appreciate
your honesty. Secondly, please
don’t ever ask me to keep a
secret from our parents. That’s
not fair to me — or them — and I
will make my own choice about
what to do regarding your
decision to get toasted on the
last day of classes. I am naturally very protective of you. I
want you to know that there are
extreme risks to what you are
doing. You risk not graduating
(if you are caught), but you also
risk many other things you
have worked very hard for.
Soon you will be on your own
and I hope you will make
healthier choices. Your high
school record shows how smart
you are. I hope your future
behavior will demonstrate that
you are wise, too.”
After communicating directly with him, leave it alone. If
this is the worst thing this
young man ever does, he’ll be
OK.

ANIMAL KINGDOM Adapted from a critically acclaimed 2010 Australian feature
film, this edgy new drama revolves around a
spectacularly dysfunctional Southern California crime family headed by tough-asnails grandmother Janine “Smurf ” Cody

Breshad Perriman was seen by

as to the severity of the Ravens wide
receiver’s left knee injury.
The Ravens, though, will get a better
idea today about the extent of the injury
as Perriman will have arthroscopic
surgery. That was the plan all along.
The 22-year-old receiver, who missed
his rookie season last year with a
sprained posterior cruciate ligament in
his right knee, was hurt during the
team’s final organized team activity last
Thursday. A magnetic resonance imaging
test taken a day later revealed what the
Ravens believe to be a partially torn
anterior cruciate ligament.
However, the knee scope will
determine how significant the tear is in
the left knee of the 2015 first-round pick.
The Ravens are bracing for the worst,
which would be Perriman needing
reconstructive knee surgery and missing
his second consecutive season. But it’s
possible the damage won’t necessitate a

Perriman said he was 100 percent
healthy, and he certainly looked the part

Even though Orioles outfielder Joey
Rickard is finding his name on the lineup
card less often than he did at the beginning
of the season, the rookie is still finding ways
to contribute.
After Rickard’s coming-out party — when
he was hitting .444 after the first week, .304
after two and leading off every day — he
cooled off and saw much of his playing time
go to Hyun Soo Kim.
Rickard has preached sticking to a routine
and being consistent, which has made him
one of the Orioles’ better defenders and base
runners, even as his batting average has
dropped to .251 through Sunday’s game.
In fact, manager Buck Showalter still calls
his name often.
Though Rickard has only started six of
the past 19 games — after getting the nod in
40 of the first 43 — he has appeared in all but
three games, recently as a defensive substitute, pinch hitter or pinch runner.
When he walks into the clubhouse and
sees his name is not in the lineup, he knows
he can still be valuable that night.

“Extremely — I’ve been in there whether
I’m starting or not, pretty much every single

current road trip. “It just shows my
versatility a little bit.”
The players who have assumed his role
leading off and playing left field are
excelling.

PETER SCHMUCK/BALTIMORE SUN
Caves Valley Golf Club will host the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship
next year. “This is a fantastic venue,” 2016 winner Bernhard Langer said.
Champions Tour stars
play Caves Valley Golf Club
Owings Mills course to
host Senior event next year
By Peter Schmuck
The Baltimore Sun
Bernhard Langer had a busy weekend.
He won the wind-swept Constellation
Energy Senior Players Championship in
Philadelphia on Sunday, then joined 11
other members of the PGA Champions
Tour for an outing Monday at Caves Valley
Golf Club.
Caves Valley in Owings Mills will be the
site of the same event next July, so Langer
and the other senior stars came down to
play the course with potential suite
holders. They could not have picked a
better day to do it.
The morning was cool and breezy,
which was much in contrast to the hot,
windy conditions at Philadelphia’s Cricket Club, where Langer finished one stroke
over par but still won his third consecutive Senior Players title.
“It was totally different,” Langer said.
“This was a gorgeous day today, very little
wind and nice temperatures. Yesterday,
we had 20- to 30-mph gusts, and at times
it was almost unplayable because the
wind was so strong and it was just difficult
to putt or even hit certain shots because
the wind was blowing you off balance.”
Chances are it will be a bit warmer at
Caves Valley when Langer goes for his
fourth straight victory in this event 13
months from now, but he and the other
golfers gave the course high marks
Monday.
“This is a fantastic venue,” he said. “I’m
looking forward to coming here next year
and defending my championship.”
Three-time U.S. Open champion Hale
Irwin did not play in Philadelphia because
of a scheduling glitch, but he still flew into
Baltimore from Arizona just to take part in
Monday’s outing. He was already familiar
with Caves Valley and came away impressed.
“I think we’ve got a beautiful, spectacular place to play,” Irwin said. “The golf
course is a fairly stern test of golf. We had a
beautiful day today and I didn’t think it
was a pushover by any means. We’ve got a
major metropolitan area. We’ve got a
fabulous golf course. We’ve got everything
that is considered important for a major
championship and we’ve got it all right
here at Caves Valley.”
Two-time U.S. Open champion Lee
Janzen has more experience with the
course than any of the golfers he’ll be
competing against next July.
“I’ve been a member of Caves Valley
since 1993. It’s always an enjoyable trip
coming here, so I’m very excited about
playing a Champions Tour event here,”
Janzen said. “I don’t know how much
home-field advantage there will be, because as the tournament gets ready to go,
the course will be prepped in a certain
way — new greens, and I expect them to
be very fast. The greens are going to be
very difficult, I think, once they have
matured, but it’s a great setting and it’s
going to be a great week.”
Sandy Lyle, who won the British Open
in 1985 and The Masters in 1988, was
playing Caves for the first time Monday.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the
course,” Lyle said. “It’s very similar to
Augusta, I would say. You’ve got a lot of
undulations and very tall trees, white
sand, big green fairways in places. Very,
very similar to an Augusta-type golf
course. Enjoyable. Of course, if you play
well, you can get around with a reasonably
low number, but there’s trouble out there
as well.”
The Senior Players Championship will
be played at Caves Valley for the first time,
but it was played in Maryland from
2007-2010 — three times at the Baltimore
Country Club in Timonium and most
recently at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.
Caves Valley hosted the LPGA International Crown last summer and hosted the
U.S. Senior Open in 2002. It also was the
site of the 1995 U.S. Mid-Amateur, the
2005 NCAA Division I men’s championship and the 2009 NCAA women’s
championship and several other events.
“It’s one of [golf course architect] Tom
Fazio’s gems,” Champions Tour president
Greg McLaughlin said. “We want to play
great golf courses and we feel like this is
going to be a fabulous test of golf.”

Report: Ex-Ravens guard
Grubbs’ career likely over
Former Ravens Pro Bowl guard and first-round
NFL draft pick Ben Grubbs’ career is likely over
because of a neck injury, the NFL Network reported. Grubbs, 32, started seven games last season for the Kansas City Chiefs before he suffered
the season-ending injury. In March, the Chiefs
cut him with a failed physical designation. Grubbs
was one year into a four-year, $24 million contract. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2013 with
the New Orleans Saints, who traded him in March
2015 to the Chiefs for a fifth-round draft pick. The
Ravens took Grubbs No. 29 overall in the 2007
draft, two rounds before they selected five-time
All-Pro Marshal Yanda. Grubbs started 65 consecutive games for the team and made the Pro
Bowl in 2011, his final season with the Ravens,
before he agreed to a five-year, $36 million deal
with the Saints.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR LIZZIE COLSON, MANCHESTER VALLEY
COACH OF THE YEAR
CHRIS ROBINSON, MCDONOGH
Because of a nagging foot injury, Manchester
Valley senior Lizzie Colson moved from midfield to
attack this spring to cut down on her running. That
made her even more of a scoring threat.
She broke the Carroll County single-season
record with 108 goals and led the No. 2 Mavericks
(19-1) to their third straight Class 2A-1A title.
In the state final, she set a Class 2A-1A championship record with 12 points. She had eight goals and
four assists in the 22-3 victory over Fallston. She
finished her career with 300 goals, second in Carroll
County only to the 307 by former Century star Katie
Schwarzmann, who went on to win the Tewaaraton
Award twice while at Maryland.
“When the score’s close, Lizzie’s the one who
steps up and the team turns the corner because of
what she’s doing,” Century coach Becky Groves said.
In addition to her 108 goals, Colson had 39 assists
and 43 draw controls. A three-time Carroll County
Player of the Year, she finished her career with 396
points and 220 draw controls.
Colson, who will continue her career at Maryland,
is an Under Armour All-American and will play in the
Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Classic July 2 at
Towson University’s Johnny Unitas Stadium.

Coaching a seemingly unbeatable team posed
several challenges this spring for McDonogh coach
Chris Robinson, who not only had to mold a young
team but had to help the youngsters handle the
pressure when every opponent had its date with the
Eagles circled in red on the calendar.
It all came together in a 22-0 season that
culminated in No. 1 McDonogh’s running its nationalrecord girls lacrosse winning streak to 155 with their
eighth straight Interscholastic Athletic Association of
Maryland A Conference championship.
“I think our kids take pride in the fact that they’re in something special,
something unique that not many other people can ever take part in, and
that’s really brought us a close sense of community and bonding,” said
Robinson, in his 11th season with the Eagles.
While many in the local lacrosse community thought the streak might
end this spring, Robinson may have built his best team ever. The Eagles
won all but one game by at least five goals, won 15 by 10 or more and
cruised through the playoffs by an average margin of 11.3 goals.
Robinson gave a lot of credit to his assistant coaches: his brother Scott
Robinson, Nancy Love and Katie Love.
McDonogh, ranked No. 1 in every national poll, has gone 212-10 since
Robinson took over. Before coaching the Eagles, he coached Mount
Hebron to five state championships between 1997 and 2001. He has a
career record of 319-18-1 in 17 years with nine national No. 1 teams.

FROM PAGE ONE
Ravens’ minicamp has new significance this year
PRESTON, From page 1
though Perriman had been starting in
OTAs.
But in those same practices, Wallace has
looked good, and he’ll finally have a
quarterback who can get him the ball
downfield once Flacco returns. If Wallace
plays well and Smith returns to form, the
Ravens should have plenty of weapons
along with a good group of tight ends in Ben
Watson, Gillmore, Pitta and Maxx Williams. Right now, the key is Wallace, who
turns 30 this summer and appears to have
something left.
PASS RUSHER: This group was a major
problem last season, and we’ll see if the
Ravens can solve it. It will be interesting to
see if Suggs is in decent shape. He has been a
regular in rehabilitation sessions at “The
Castle,” but he has had weight problems in
the past. Elvis Dumervil can still provide
pressure, but he is more effective as a
part-time pass-rushing specialist going
against a right tackle than playing full time
like he did on the left side in 2015.
Second-year outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith appears ready for a good season,
especially after a strong offseason in the
weight room, but he has to become smarter
and play with more consistency. Two
rookies to keep an eye on are Kamalei

■ Jonas Shaffer on the Ravens’ Justin
Forsett saying Joe Flacco probably
wouldn’t make a good contestant on
“The Bachelorette”
Correa, the second-round pick out of Boise
State, and undrafted rookie free agent
Victor Ochi, another physical player from
Stony Brook. The Ravens have three they
will use consistently in Suggs, Dumervil and
Smith, but they’d prefer Correa as the No. 4
in the rotation and Ochi as a fresh pair of
legs they could use late in the season.
INSIDE LINEBACKER: The Ravens have
to find a replacement for former starter
Daryl Smith, now with the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. This could be difficult because
several of the players competing for the
starting job have had chances to play but
didn’t succeed. Third-year player Zachary
Orr was one of the Ravens’ most physical
performers in training camp last season, but
that didn’t carry over into the regular
season. Fourth-year player Arthur Brown, a
second-round pick out of Kansas State, has
been a disappointment even though he
started to emerge as a strong special teams
performer last season. This season will be a
make-or-break year for him.
The Ravens have moved Correa both
inside and outside during OTAs, but they
might want to use his ability as a pass rusher
during the regular season. Albert McClellan
is strong and versatile enough to play inside
or outside. The Ravens have used him in
previous years on short-yardage situations
because of his physical style and ability to
penetrate.
OFFENSIVE TACKLES: The Ravens used
their first pick in the 2016 draft to select
Ronnie Stanley, a left offensive tackle out of
Notre Dame.
He has the attributes — long body, long
arms and quick feet. But his lack of strength,
especially in the lower half, might hurt him
this season. It will be interesting to see how
Stanley plays this week, because even
though the players won’t be in full pads, the
tempo will be faster with more veterans on
the field.
Right tackle Rick Wagner also needs to
show that he is at full speed after battling an
ankle injury the past two seasons. Two
other tackles who will be observed closely
by the Ravens coaching staff are secondyear player De’Ondre Wesley and rookie
Alex Lewis, a fourth-round pick from
Nebraska. Wesley keeps making progress
and Lewis can play either guard or tackle.
He has a strong physical presence.
SECONDARY: There are always questions about this group. The Ravens improved on the back end by signing former
San Diego Chargers safety Eric Weddle, but
that might not be enough. His experience
will help the Ravens in alignments and
assignments, but not in one-on-one coverage. The Ravens are taking a gamble in
moving veteran Lardarius Webb from
cornerback to safety. It’s apparent Webb has
lost a step and can no longer play
cornerback, but he might be too slow to play
safety as well. Jimmy Smith probably won’t
participate in minicamp because of concerns about his ankle, so that means
Shareece Wright and Jerraud Powers (or
Kyle Arrington) will start at the corners.
Regardless, there are still too many
questions about this group and just as many
about the Ravens in general. But at least
they can start solving some issues on the
field and make the necessary adjustments in
personnel before training camp starts in late
July.
If not, 2016 might be as bad as 2015.

Collins ‘A-OK’ after tests at hospital
Newsday
NEW YORK — After spending
Sunday night in a Milwaukee
hospital, Mets manager Terry
Collins was released Monday, the
club announced. He’s expected to
be in uniform for the series
opener against the Pirates on
Tuesday at Citi Field.
Collins, 67, left Miller Park
about 30 minutes before the first
pitch Sunday. He had complained of feeling ill, though the
precise nature of his symptoms
were undisclosed.
When asked Monday about his
condition, Collins texted simply:
“A-OK.”
The Mets said Collins was
cleared to return after all tests
came back negative. Collins, the
oldest manager in the big leagues,
had been kept overnight for tests
and further observation.
The Mets had been encouraged, since Collins had not complained of any other symptoms
before falling ill before the game.
Even then, Collins was said to
have been in good spirits. He
walked out of the Mets clubhouse under his own power on
the way to a hospital.
Bench coach Dick Scott took
managerial duties during the
Mets’ 5-3 loss to the Brewers, a
sloppy affair in which the club
may have been distracted by
Collins’ absence.
Most players did not know that
Collins had fallen ill until Scott
abruptly called a brief clubhouse
meeting to make the announcement.
“Without getting into too
many details, he just didn’t feel
good,” Scott said after the game.
“The beauty of what we do is we
have guys like (trainers) Ray
Ramirez and Brian Chicklo right
across the hallway. They came
right in, followed protocol, and
took care of Terry right away. He
actually felt fine right before the
game, so we were all encouraged.
Hopefully that’s the case.”
the team in Oakland, Calif., over
the weekend and will probably
make his debut Saturday against
the A’s. Lincecum has had three
starts for Triple-A Salt Lake City.
... 3B Kyle Kubitza and LHP
David Huff were designated for
assignment. Right-handed relievers Al Alburquerque and A.J.
Achter were added to the roster. .
■ Yankees: 1B Ike Davis agreed to
a one-year contract, giving the
team more options after putting
four 1Bs on the DL. Davis gets
paid at the rate of a $1.5 million
salary while in the majors and at
the rate of a $120,000 salary
while in the minors.
■ Nationals: Max Scherzer retired the first 16 batters he faced
and threw seven innings of two-
hit ball, striking out 11 in a 4-1 win
over the Cubs. Scherzer’s bid for
his third career no-hitter ended
with one out in the sixth when
Addison Russell hit a 3-2 pitch
into the left-field seats.
■ Braves: LHP Eric O’Flaherty
was put on the 15-day DL because of a right knee strain.
O’Flaherty is 1-3 with a 6.52 ERA
in 27 games. He allowed three
runs in two innings against the
Cubs on Saturday. The team
recalled RHP Ryan Weber from
Triple-A Gwinnett before Monday night’s game against the
Reds. Weber is 1-0 with an 8.38
ERA in four games with the
Braves this season. He has a 2.81
ERA in 13 games, including four
starts, with Gwinnett.

ORIOLES NOTES
Davis named AL Player of the Week;
Hardy to begin rehab assignment today
By Eduardo A. Encina
The Baltimore Sun
Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, who
will go into this week’s three-game series in
Boston having homered in five consecutive
games, was named the American League
Player of the Week.
Davis hit .368 (7-for-19) with five home
runs, one double and10 RBIs over six games
to earn the award for the fourth time in his
career. His five homers were the most in the
majors over the course of the week, and he
also led the majors with a 1.211 slugging
percentage and 23 total bases.
He went into Wednesday’s game riding
his worst slump of the season — hitting .137
over his last 21 games, with just two homers
and four RBIs over that span and striking
out more than twice as many times (34) as
he walked (16).
Hardy to start rehab at Bowie: The
Orioles are closer to getting their Gold
Glove starting shortstop back.
J.J. Hardy, who has been out of action
since May1with a fractured bone in his foot,
will begin a minor league rehab assignment
today at Double-A Bowie.
Hardy, who has been on the disabled list
for nearly six weeks after fouling a ball off
his left foot, has been rehabbing the injury
at the team’s spring training complex in
Sarasota, Fla.
He’s been gradually working in all
baseball activities, including some simulated game action.
It’s not clear how many games Hardy
would need before he could be activated
from the DL, but manager Buck Showalter
indicated Sunday that Hardy might not
need much time.
Hardy was hitting .244/.291/.410 in 22
games before going on the DL.
Gallardo strong in rehab start: Right-
hander Yovani Gallardo is on track to
return from the disabled list this weekend
following an impressive minor league rehab
start pitching for Triple-A Norfolk on
Monday night.
Gallardo allowed just one hit over five
innings — a solo homer to Charlotte second
baseman Carlos Sanchez — yielding one
run while striking out five and walking two.
He threw 90 pitches, 52 of them strikes.
He is likely to be activated from the
disabled list to pitch Saturday against the
Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards.
Gallardo was 1-1 with a 7.00 ERA in four
starts before going on the DL with shoulder
tendinitis in late April.

Rickard adapts to his
new part-time role
RICKARD, From page 1
Adam Jones is hitting .271in the
leadoff position, and Kim is batting .333 after a torrid start to the
season. But Rickard’s spot on the
active roster is technically safe —
the Orioles can’t demote the Rule
5 pick this season without offering
him back to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Rickard said playing less regularly has required an adjustment.
“Just a little bit,” he said. “Your
mindset changes. You just gotta
continue to go about your same
business and get in that same
routine. Try not to change a lot,
and just go out there when your
name is called.”
Despite their relative scarcity,
Rickard’s plate appearances of late
have been valuable. He worked
just four walks in April before
drawing 11 in May, helping raise
his on-base percentage even as he
appeared to slump at the plate.
That patience can be an asset
on a team with so much power.
On June 5 against the New York
Yankees, even though he went
1-for-3 before Kim pinch-hit for
him in the seventh inning, Rickard
saw 29 pitches in three plate
appearances, helping wear out
starter C.C. Sabathia as the Orioles
chased him after five innings.
On the season, Rickard is seeing
a team-leading 4.44 pitches per
plate appearance.
On Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays, Rickard came in
as a pinch runner for Kim, who
had doubled to lead off the 10th.
Rickard moved to third on a
groundout and then scored the
winning run on Chris Davis’
sacrifice fly.
“That situation would not have
been present if it wasn’t great base
running by Joey Rickard,” Orioles
pitcher Tyler Wilson said. “Him
reading the ball off the bat and
getting to third with one out is the
difference in winning and losing
that ballgame.”
Those contributions won’t get
the crowd chanting his name like
his performance in the first week
did, but they do make him a good
option off the bench.
In a rare start Saturday against
Toronto, Rickard went 3-for-5
with a home run, raising his
batting average above .250 for the
first time since May 27.
“You just show up to the park
and do your stuff,” he said,
“whether you’re starting or not.”

STANLEY CUP FINAL
James, Irving keep Cavs alive
FINALS, From page 1
Game 4 tussle with Green
and reaction to what he
considered the Golden
State forward’s inappropriate words.
Cleveland handed Golden State just its fourth
defeat all season at Oracle
Arena, denying Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry
and the Warriors a chance
to celebrate this title with
their golden-clad supporters. Now, Curry and Co.
must try to win on the road,
just the way the Warriors
did last year and also in their
only other championship
season out West in 1975.
The Warriors will get
Green back Thursday as
they try again for that repeat title.
“I kind of like our position,” coach Steve Kerr said.
“ I like our position a lot
better than theirs.”
Banned from the arena,
Green watched from a baseball suite in the Oakland
Coliseum next door, joined
by Golden State general
manager Bob Myers.
The All-Star forward was
suspended Sunday for his
fourth flagrant point of the
postseason. He was assessed a retroactive flagrant
foul for his swipe at James
in the fourth quarter of
Friday’s Game 4.
“Obviously there’s a void
there with [Green] being
out,” guard Shaun Livingston said. “There’s no excuse. We have to be better.”
Tied at 61 at halftime, the
Warriors missed 14 of their
first 20 shots out of intermission and shot 7 for 24 in
the third as James and the
Cavaliers grabbed command by doing all of the
little things on both ends of
the floor — the very intangibles Golden State desperately missed without
Green’s presence on both
ends. James jumped in the
passing lanes to create defensive havoc, flipped passes around and got open.
Klay Thompson scored
37 points with six 3-pointers and Curry added 25

points with five 3s, seven
rebounds, four assists and
two blocked shots. But as
the game wore on, the
Splash Brothers shot airballs and clanked 3-point
tries off the front rim. The
Warriors often failed to get
a hand in the face of Cleveland’s shooters.
“We weren’t very good
defensively. We had to play
better and we didn’t,” Kerr
said.
James and Irving combined to shoot 33 for 54,
while the Warriors finished
36.4 percent from the field.

PITTSBURGH — When
the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in 2009, a dynasty
appeared to be in the offing.
It didn’t quite work out that
way. Injuries and inconsistent postseason play sent
the franchise into a fullfledged identity crisis.
The long, seemingly interminable wait for Sidney
Crosby and Evgeni Malkin
to bookend the championship they helped capture
seven years ago came to a
blissful, euphoric end Sunday night in San Jose, Calif.
Their six-game triumph
over the Sharks in the final
capped a meteoric sixmonth sprint under Mike
Sullivan, whose arrival in
mid-December provided
the wake-up call the talented but erratic roster
desperately needed.
“It’s not an easy win in
this league,” Malkin said.
“Every team in the league
deserves to win. We play
against San Jose and they
haven’t won in 25 years. It’s
not easy.”
Maybe, but for the Penguins the path might be
smoother than most. The
group that poured over the
boards and onto the ice
when the horn sounded at
the end of a 100-game-plus
marathon that spanned
from September to June
appears to be well-appointed for the future
thanks to a series of moves
by general manager Jim
Rutherford to build around
his two stars.
Oddsmakers made the
Penguins an early favorite
to win it all again next year,
heady territory considering
there hasn’t been a repeat
champion in nearly two
BRUCE BENNETT/GETTY
Penguins co-owner and chairman Mario Lemieux, right,
embraces star Sidney Crosby after Sunday’s clincher.
decades. Then again,
there’s reason to be optimistic the run at the top
that seemed a near certainty in 2009 could still
come to fruition, if later
than expected.
The core of Crosby, Malkin, forward Phil Kessel
and defensemen Kris Letang and Olli Maatta are all
30 or under and all signed
through at least 2022. Goaltender Matt Murray —
whose 15 wins in the playoffs tied an NHL rookie
record — turned 22 last
month. Young forwards
Bryan Rust, Conor Sheary
and Tom Kuhnhackl are in
their mid-20s. Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Patric
Hornqvist will be back.
So will Sullivan, who
began the season molding
prospects for the Penguins’
American Hockey League
affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton.
He ended it posing at
center ice with his sport’s
biggest trophy.

resale proceeds. The parties’ respective rights and obligations regarding the terms of sale and the conduct of the sale

equity shall be limited to the refund of the aforementioned
deposit, without interest thereon. Upon refund of the
deposit to the purchaser, the sale shall be void and of no

plus useful values.
West led the queen of hearts, and East overtook to lead the
queen of spades. Auken won and sandwiched three heart
ruffs in dummy around two spade ruffs in her hand (leaving
West with the defenders’ only high spade).
Auken then ran her trumps. When she led her last trump
at Trick 10, West could keep three cards. He had to save his
king of spades -- dummy still had a spade -- so he bared his
Q-J of diamonds. Auken discarded the spade from dummy,
took the A-K of diamonds and won the13th trick with the ten.
Well done!
DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ A ♥ J 7 6 4 ♦ A 4 3 ♣ A Q
10 6 2. You are the dealer. What is your opening call?
ANSWER This situation is awkward. If you open one
club, you will lack a good second bid if partner responds one
spade. A rebid of two clubs would suggest a six-card suit, a
"reverse" to two hearts would show more strength, and a bid
of1NT would be an underbid. Many players would open1NT.
I can’t recommend that action, but the problem has no good
answer.
