American Atheists lawsuit headed for mediation
By BRIAN GRAVES
Banner Staff Writer
The parties in the case of American
Atheists Inc., et al. vs Sheriff Eric
Watson, et al. is headed to mediation.
During a telephonic status conference Monday morning, attorneys Perry
Craft and Thomas LeQuire, representing the plaintiffs and defendants
respectively, informed U.S. District
Judge Thomas W. Phillips they would
proceed with the mediation process.
The minutes of the conference filed
with the court show the parties will be
contacted by Magistrate Judge
Christopher H. Steger.
Both counsels will have to schedule
the mediation with Steger. Those meetings are not held in a public forum.
Should the sides not come to terms, a
trial on the merits and preliminary
injunction remains set for Aug. 24 at 9
a.m., in Courtroom 1A in Knoxville
before U.S. District Judge Phillips.
Monday’s conference came within
hours after the plaintiffs filed a motion
to amend their original complaint to
include the two personal Facebook
pages posted by the sheriff.
The plaintiffs are asserting that
Watson, in his official role, is just “indirectly doing what he can't do directly”
when it comes to expressing faith-based
beliefs.
The argument by the atheist organization is as a government official, for
Watson to be espousing his religious
beliefs amounts to a violation of the sep-
aration of church and state clause of
the U.S. Constitution.
The plaintiffs failed last week in an
attempt to get a temporary restraining
order keeping Watson from posting
such faith-based messages; however,
the original complaint was about the
“BCSO Facebook page” which has since
been deactivated.
Their arguments also involve alleged
violations of the First Amendment — the
right to freedom of speech. They directly
accuse Watson of removing posts that
were critical of the sheriff’s postings as
well as their charge they were blocked
from being able to post comments on
what they say was a public site.
It is that First Amendment charge
that has led the attorney for the atheist
organization to request the addition of
Joshua Stephens as a co-plaintiff in the
case.
Stephens, who was identified as being
a resident of Bradley County, has not

THE OLD CLINGAN FAMILY cemetery is located in a small wooded area on the east
side of Georgetown Road in north Cleveland. There are less than 20 burial markers in
the small cemetery, dominated by a large marker for Bradley County’s first elected
sheriff, A.A. Clingan, and his wife, Martha. At right is a road sign marking the location
of the cemetery on the east side of the roadway near Cleveland Middle School.

Long-neglected Clingan cemetery gets
needed facelift and a new roadside sign
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
There’s a new road sign along
Georgetown Highway, near the split before
reaching Cleveland Middle School.
The sign marks the location of an old,
very small, family cemetery marking the
location of the burial of Bradley County’s
first elected sheriff, Alexander Adam “A.A.”
Clingan.
The burial plot is located on the right
side of Highway 60, northbound. It is up a
slight embankment alongside a residence.
Clingan served in office from 1837-38, a
year prior to the Cherokee Removal to
Oklahoma along the “Trail of Tears.” He
later served additional terms, from 1840
CLEVELAND
through 1846.
Clingan was not the county’s first sheriff. William James “Jimmy” Carter was
appointed sheriff of the just-formed
Bradley County in 1836, but died in office.
Clingan was then elected, in 1837.
The small cemetery suffered from neglect over the years, but recently descendants of the family discovered its location
and cleaned up the area. The sign was
then located along the nearby roadway.

Sheriff’s Wall of Fame

By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
Former Bradley Sheriff Dan Gilley initiated a Wall of Fame at
the Bradley County Justice Center when he was in office, and
the display has been maintained since that time.
The arrangement of plaques provides recognition and is a place
of honor for Bradley County’s 48 former sheriffs. It is located in
the lobby of the Justice Center.
Beginning with William James “Jimmy” Carter, who served
when Bradley became a county in 1836, a tribute to each sheriff
through former Sheriff Jim Ruth is displayed.
Carter was appointed by the governor, but died in office that
year.

The county giveth and the county may
taketh away — again.
Bradley County commissioners will vote
next week on whether to keep a piece of
property located off Westland Drive as a
potential site for a new Emergency
Management Agency communications
tower.
It is the same piece of property commissioners have voted to sell for back taxes,
then keep, then sell, and now may choose
to keep again.
The property was originally set to be sold
for delinquent taxes until 911 Board member David Benton addressed commissioners May 2, and asked them to hold on to
the property.
They voted to keep the property until
last week, when Commissioner Johnny
Mull reported he had spoken to EMA
Director Troy Spence, who had told him
the agency could do “with or without it.”
Mull also said, and County Mayor D.
See VOTE, Page 16
There have been a few sightings of black bears in Cleveland
and Bradley County during
these warm-weather months,
but according to authorities, no
more than are normal this time
of year.
The most recent reported
sighting was in the Oak Grove
area of Bradley County, though
an incident report was not filed.
According to Cleveland Police
Department Sgt. Evie West,
there have been no sightings
reported within the city of which
she has been made aware.
Communications
Director
James Bradford of the Bradley
County Sheriff’s Office echoed
West’s comments.
According to Mime Barnes,
public information officer for the
Tennessee Wildlife Resources
Agency, bears are not coming
out of the mountains searching
for food — yet.
“We are not hearing any more
reports on bears than we [normally] do as spring ends and
summer begins,” Barnes said.
“There are no problems with
food with the bears in the mountains, so they have no reason to
be coming into a populated
area.”
However, that still does happen, and food may be the reason
for the sightings.
“People have trash outside,
and those are easy calories for
these bears,” she said. “As I tell
children when I am speaking to
them about wildlife, and specifically about bears, would you
rather walk miles and miles and
miles for food, or take food that
is nearby.”
Barnes said bears sometimes
get into hummingbird feeders,
or eat ripe vegetables or fruits
that have fallen off their trees
and are lying on the ground. She
added that grills which have
fatty residue on them are attractive to bears and other wildlife
also.
But the food they most often
go after is inside garbage bags,
“They have an incredible sense
of smell, so they know there is
something in there,” Barnes
said.
She added that in many
cases, the smells from outdoor
grills, fruits and vegetables and
garbage also attract racoons and
skunks.
In some cases, TWRA officials
have to use tranquilizers to
remove bears from certain
areas. These officers do anything they can to avoid harming
the bears.
“Everyone who works here
loves wildlife,” Barnes said, “We
do everything we can to keep
areas safe without harming any
animals.”
She
suggested
keeping
garbage from outside areas
where bears may smell it.
“If you see a bear in your
neighborhood, contact the
authorities and the TWRA,”
Barnes said. “These places are
not their normal habitat, so we
will try to remove them and take
them where they belong.”

Man sentenced for distributing
child pornography
CHATTANOOGA (AP) — The U.S.
Justice Department says a 29year-old Chattanooga man has
been sentenced to serve nearly six
years in prison for distribution of
child pornography through the
online sales site Craigslist.
Authorities say U.S. District
Judge Harry S. Mattice Jr. sentenced Larry Vance to 70 months
in prison Monday and ordered him
to be supervised by the U.S.
Probation Office for 15 years after
his release from prison.
Vance pleaded guilty to distribution of child pornography in
December. A Justice Department

arrested after Texas law enforcement noticed that a Tennessee
man was sending images of child
pornography and discussing the
molestation of these children
through Craigslist.

to have sex with an unconscious
woman whom he had been dating.

Vandenburg, a prosecutor said the
former player even passed out condoms to three teammates before
the woman was raped.

The defense attorney said
Vandenburg had been drinking all
day long, and the 19-year-old

players he didn’t even know to help
him carry the unconscious woman
to his dorm. He said the others
were on the woman as soon as they
got her in the room.

Officials: French police commander slain by jihadi recruiter
PARIS (AP) — A Frenchman
once convicted of recruiting jihadi fighters stabbed a police commander to death outside his suburban Paris home, recording the
attack and posting it on
Facebook Live, French officials
said Tuesday. The commander’s
partner and the attacker were
found dead inside the home after
a three-hour standoff with police.
The couple’s 3-year-old was in
the house in Magnanville, about
35 miles (55 kilometers) west of
Paris, but was unharmed. A
police official said that at one
point in the video the attacker
puzzled over what to do with the
child.
The Islamic State’s Amaq news
agency cited an unnamed source
as saying an IS fighter carried
out the attack late Monday.
While the extremist group has
not officially claimed responsibility, French President Francois
Hollande said it was “incontestably a terrorist act” and that
France faces a threat “of a very
large scale.”
Two people close to the attacker, identified as 25-year-old
Larossi Abballa, were detained,
authorities said Tuesday. They
gave no details about them.
France has been on particularly high alert as it hosts Europe’s
top sporting event, the monthlong European Championship
soccer tournament, and is still
under a state of emergency after
the November IS attacks in Paris
that killed 130 people.
Hollande held an emergency
security meeting Tuesday.
“France is not the only country
concerned (by the terrorist
threat), as we have seen, again,
in the United States, in Orlando,”
he said.
Abballa was from the nearby
suburb of Mantes-la-Jolie and
was sentenced in 2013 to three
years in prison for recruiting
fighters for jihad in Pakistan,
according to two police officials.
The officials spoke on condition
of anonymity because they were
not authorized to be publicly
named discussing investigations.
A resident of the apartment
building where Abballa lived,
who did not want to give his
name, said police raided it early
Tuesday.
Neighborhood
resident
Henriette Yenge, who lives and
works near the building, said she
would say hello to Abballa when
he went to the mosque around
the corner.
“He was a neighborhood kid,”
she said. “I was surprised it was
him. It’s sad to see things like
that.”
Two other security officials
who also spoke on condition of
anonymity said Abballa recorded
a video during the knife attack.
One official said the assailant
posted the video on Facebook
Live, the social media site’s live
feed.
A Facebook profile bearing the
name Larossi Abballa — which
vanished from the internet early
Tuesday — showed a photo of a
smiling, bearded man. Two
recent posts featured videos critical of Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The last publicly available post
was a mock-up of the European
Championship logo, highlighting
what the poster said were
masonic and occult symbols.
“Some will say we see evil
everywhere!” Abballa said in a
message posted about 18 hours
before the attack.
On Tuesday, Interior Minister
Bernard Cazeneuve visited the
police station in the suburb of
Les Mureaux where 42-year-old
Jean-Baptiste Salvaing worked.
Police did not identify his partner
but said she was an administrator for police in Mantes-La-Jolie.
Cazeneuve said more than 100

Chinese lawyer not giving up despite torture
BEIJING (AP) — One of China’s
best-known dissident lawyers
said his newly launched memoir
is his latest act of resistance to
show he has not been silenced by
years of solitary confinement and
torture, accounts of which have
drawn international criticism of
Beijing.
In an exclusive interview with
The Associated Press, Gao
Zhisheng, 52, who has been living
under near-constant surveillance
by Chinese authorities since his
release from jail in 2014, said he
wrote his book “to expose the
truth and crimes of this regime.”
The Chinese-language book, titled
“Stand Up China 2017 — China’s
Hope: What I Learned During Five
Years as a Political Prisoner,” was
launched in Hong Kong on
Tuesday at an event attended by
Gao’s daughter.
“This book is my way of posing
resistance,” Gao said in Monday
night’s interview, which was conducted over a messaging app
instead of by phone to circumvent
surveillance and interruption. “I
wrote it secretly because I had to
hide from the minders who watch
me around the clock.”
He said he kept the book a
secret even from his family to
avoid endangering them.
In the book, Gao recounts the
torture he says he endured, as
well as the three years he spent in
solitary confinement. It was the
strength of his Christian faith and
his unwavering hope for China
that sustained him in that period
of isolation, he said.
A spokeswoman for China’s
Public Security Ministry, which
oversees the police, said the ministry hadn’t been directly involved
with Gao’s case and had no information about his treatment while
in custody or in prison. The
spokeswoman, who gave only her
surname, Wang, said only local
authorities were qualified to
answer questions about Gao’s
claims.
Gao Zhisheng
Gao’s interview and book come
as Chinese authorities wage what
rights groups say is one of the
most severe crackdowns on the
country’s rights-defending legal
community in recent memory.
Several Chinese rights lawyers
have been arrested on state subversion charges that carry potential life sentences. Activists say
the use of such charges indicates
that the ruling Communist Party
sees this group of lawyers as a
threat to its grip on power.
Authorities are also putting
lawyers on trial on other charges.
On Friday, Xia Lin, a rights
lawyer whose clients have included dissident artist Ai Weiwei, will
stand trial in Beijing for fraud.
Gao had won international
renown for his courage in defending members of the outlawed
Falun Gong spiritual movement
and fighting for farmers’ land
rights. After he was detained, he
upset the authorities by publicly
denouncing the torture he said he
had suffered.
When Gao was released from
prison straight into house arrest
in August 2014, the formerly outspoken lawyer could barely walk
or speak a full, intelligible sen-
tence, raising concerns that one
of the most inspirational figures
in China’s rights movement had
been permanently broken —
physically and mentally. Since
then, he has kept a low profile
while living in a small village in
Shaanxi province, several hundred kilometers (miles) from
Beijing, giving the AP his first
interview in five years early last
year.
International rights groups
have condemned Gao’s treatment
both in and out of custody, and
the U.S. government has urged
China to allow him to come to the
U.S. to be reunited with his family
if he chooses. His wife lives in San
Francisco.
Presenting Gao’s book in Hong
Kong on Tuesday was his 23-yearold daughter, Grace Geng, who
said it has been seven years since
she last saw her father. Geng said
her father was not well and that
his teeth in particular needed
urgent treatment that he has been
denied. She said she, her mother
and brother, who all fled to the
United States in 2009, have limited communication with him.
“At the very beginning, I did not
totally understand. I wondered
why our father couldn’t be with
us,” said Geng, sobbing with emotion. “But ... after some time, I
came to think of his decision as
truly great. He loves the Chinese
people so much that he put his
family in second place. I think
that what he thinks is very, very
great, so I am very proud of it.”
In a sign of the chill Beijing’s
influence has cast over Hong
Kong, Gao’s book is being published in Taiwan and will not at
first be sold in the semiautonomous Chinese-controlled
city, Hong Kong pro-democracy
lawmaker Albert Ho told the AP.
Books on sensitive political topics have increasingly been pulled
from mainstream Hong Kong
bookstores or consigned to the
back shelves.
LONDON (AP) — The price of oil
is unlikely to rise much further
after rallying almost 90 percent
since January, as the global market shows signs of stabilizing, the
International Energy Agency said
Tuesday.
The Paris-based agency, which
advises the world’s top oil consuming nations, nudged up its
estimate for global oil demand
this year in its monthly report. It
noted, however, that supply and
past inventories remain high.
“At halfway in 2016 the oil
market looks to be balancing,”
said the IEA in its monthly market report.
After touching a 13-year low in
January, the international price
of oil has rallied to trade above
$50 a barrel in recent days and
has struggled to advance any further. On Tuesday, the Brent
benchmark for international oil
was down 56 cents at $49.79 a
barrel.
In its report, the IEA raised its
forecast for world demand in
2016 to 96.1 million barrels a
day, up 0.1 million barrels from
its previous prediction. It expects
demand to grow next year by 1.3
million barrels a day, the same as
this year.
However, the IEA noted that
large volumes of production
remain affected by shutdowns.
That’s true particularly in Nigeria,
where regional militants have
blown up pipelines, and Libya,
which is struggling to emerge
from conflict. When that oil starts
returning to market, it would
boost supply, weighing on prices.
Inventories are also high globally after three years of overproduction, the agency said. “This is
likely to dampen prospects of a
significant increase in oil prices,”
its report concluded.
year, including in recent weeks.
France, like other countries in
Europe, has seen a series of
stabbings aimed at police officers
or soldiers and carried out by
Muslim radicals. IS has encouraged its supporters to stage such
attacks.

Trump, Clinton offer different visions in Orlando response
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald
Trump and Hillary Clinton outlined dramatically different proposals for combating terrorism
and gun violence following the
deadly
Orlando
nightclub
attacks, with the presumptive
Republican nominee vowing to
suspend immigration from countries with a history of terrorism
and the Democratic candidate
warning against demonizing
Muslims.
The candidates’ back-to-back
speeches Monday underscored
the clear choice Americans face
in the November election.
Clinton’s vision builds on
President Barack Obama’s campaign against the Islamic State in
Iraq and Syria and expands on
his gun control executive orders,
while Trump is calling for a drastically different national security
posture.
The cornerstone of Trump’s
anti-terror plan was sweeping
changes to the nation’s immigration rules, despite the fact that
the Orlando shooter was born in
the U.S.
He redoubled his previous call
for a temporary ban on Muslims
coming to the U.S., saying that
policy would stay in place until
the government can “properly
and perfectly” screen immigrants. Going further, he also
said he would use presidential
discretion to “suspend immigration from areas of the world
where there’s a proven history of
terrorism against the United
States, Europe and our allies.”
The businessman did not
specify what countries would be
affected or whether the suspension would apply regardless of
religion.
Clinton said such proposals
would only make it more difficult
for law enforcement to work with
Muslim communities.
“Inflammatory anti-Muslim
In remarks at the ceremony,
Kerry called the war “an indelible
but an increasingly distant memory.”
“And for most, it’s not a memory
at all,” he noted. “Certainly, the
students who are going to enroll at
this university are far more interested in plugging into the world
economy than in being stuck in
the past or reliving memories of
events that took place long before
they were born.”
Though news of Kerrey’s
appointment set off criticism
among some Vietnamese in the
press and on social media, Nguyen
Thi Ha, a 23-year-old third-year
university student in Hanoi,
shares Kerry’s sentiment.
“It’s a desire for most students
including myself to study in a university that offers good education
with affordable expenses,” she
said in an interview with The
Associated Press. “We will not forget the past, but the past should
be put aside and look forward to
build better future for both countries.”
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Congress on Monday sent
President Barack Obama
legislation making it easier
for Americans to obtain
government records.
The bipartisan bill would
require federal agencies to
consider release of government information under a
“presumption of openness”
as opposed to a presumption the information is
secret. Supporters of the
shift said it would make it
harder for agency officials
to block release of government records.
The House approved the
bill Monday on a voice vote,
three months after the
Senate acted.
Obama is expected to
sign the measure, which
aims to reduce the number
of exemptions the government uses to withhold
information from the public
and news media. It also
would create an online portal for individuals to submit
a request under the 50year-old
Freedom
of
Information Act. Such
requests currently are handled by separate agencies
in different ways.
The legislation was sponsored by Sens. John
Cornyn, R-Texas and
Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont.
Leahy said he could “think
of no better way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary
of FOIA than by passing the
FOIA Improvement Act.”
Cornyn said the legislation will “build on what our
Founding Fathers recognized hundreds of years
ago: that a truly democratic system depends on an
informed citizenry to hold
their leaders accountable.
If the public doesn’t know
what government is doing,
how can they consent” to
actions taken by the government on their behalf?
Members of Congress
have long complained that
the White House and executive-branch agencies have
not been fully transparent
in sharing records with
lawmakers and the public,
while Obama and previous
presidents have criticized
Congress for exempting
itself from the requirements. FOIA does not apply
to Congress.
“Problems with FOIA
have persisted under both
Republican and Democrat
administrations, but under
President Obama, things
have only worsened and
his commitment to a ‘new
era of openness’ has
proven illusory at best,”
said Sen. Charles Grassley,
R-Iowa, a frequent Obama
critic.

rhetoric and threatening to ban
the families and friends of
Muslim Americans, as well as
millions of Muslim business people and tourists from entering
our country, hurts the vast
majority of Muslims who love
freedom and hate terror,” she
said.
Clinton called for increasing
the U.S.-led air assault on the
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria,
and pointedly blamed American
partners in the Middle East —
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar
— for not stopping terror funding
emanating from their countries.
She also called for tougher gun
control legislation in the U.S.,
including outlawing assault
weapons like one used by the
Orlando shooter.
“I believe weapons of war have
no place on our streets,” Clinton
said. Though she drew implicit
contrasts with Trump, she never
mentioned him by name, saying
“Today is not a day for politics.”
Trump clearly disagreed, criticizing Clinton harshly and often.
The Republican pledged to
protect all Americans “wherever
they come from, wherever they
were born,” but he repeatedly
referred to Muslims in a negative
context.
Though the Orlando shooter —
29-year-old Omar Mateen — was
born in the United States, Trump
noted that he was “born to
Afghan parents who immigrated
to the United States.” He said
Muslim communities must turn
over to law enforcement “people
who they know are bad,” adding
“they do know where they are.”
He also said gays and lesbians
are often discriminated against
in the Muslim world, and said
Clinton could not claim to be an
ally of the LGBT community if
she supports immigration from
such countries.
“Ask yourself, who is really the
friend of women and the LGBT
community: Donald Trump with
actions, or Hillary Clinton with
her words?” Trump said.
However, the businessman has
said he opposes gay marriage —
the official position of the
Republican Party — while
Clinton and Democrats back
same-sex unions.
The Republican did not repeat
suggestions he’d made in earlier
television interviews that Obama
may not be taking tougher action
against terrorism because he
may sympathize with the perpetrators.
“He doesn’t get it or, or he gets
it better than anybody understands,” Trump said on Fox
News Channel’s “Fox and
Friends.” ‘’It’s one or the other.
And either one is unacceptable.”
Clinton said her anti-terror
efforts would center on identifying “lone wolf” attackers — those
who may be radicalized but not
connected to a broader network
or carrying out plans on behalf of
any group. Obama said Monday
that the Orlando attacker
appeared to fall into that category.
Clinton also reiterated her call
for tougher gun control measures, a policy proposal that has
been a centerpiece of her presidential campaign. In addition to
her support for an assault
weapons ban, she also said
Americans should be able to
agree that “if the FBI is watching
you for a suspected terrorist link,
you shouldn’t be able to just go
buy a gun with no questions
asked.”
The FBI said Mateen had twice
come to its attention, but the
investigations did not reveal any
definitive links to terror groups
or plots. Mateen purchased at
least two firearms legally within
the past week or so, according to
federal authorities.
War record of Vietnam university’s U.S. chairman angers some
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — The
limits of forgiving and forgetting
are being tested by the former U.S.
senator picked to be board chairman of the new Fulbright
University Vietnam: Bob Kerrey,
who has described how his squad
killed civilians including women
and children during the Vietnam
War.
It’s an unusually sensitive point
in a relationship between two
nations that in many ways have
put the war behind them. While a
top Vietnamese Communist Party
official has expressed support for
Kerrey’s appointment, and many
people interviewed by The
Associated Press were pragmatic
or forgiving, others find his role
upsetting.
Ton Nu Thi Ninh, a former
Vietnamese ambassador to the
European Union, wrote in an article published this month in the
state-run online newspaper Zing
that when she learned of the
appointment she was “extremely
stunned and could not understand.”
Whether Kerrey truly felt
remorse for his wartime actions
was something only he could
know, she wrote, but “taking a
leadership role in the university
with ambitions like Fulbright
University should not be considered to atone for the wrongdoing
in the past.” Ninh declined to comment further when contacted by
telephone in Ho Chi Minh City.
Fulbright University Vietnam,
partially funded by the U.S. government, will be the first private
nonprofit university in the country. Hoped-for corporate sponsorship and planned programs in
management and public policy
hint strongly at a capitalist academic agenda, but this is no cause
for controversy, because the
Communist Party has jettisoned
most aspects of a command economy for the type of freewheeling
entrepreneurship that is a hallmark of modern Asian culture.
During a visit to Vietnam last
month, President Barack Obama
announced the university would
open this fall in Ho Chi Minh City.

For some, the announcement of
the university’s board chairman
sent old animosities rushing back.
Kerrey, a former Democratic
governor and senator from
Nebraska and former president of
The New School in New York, was
a Navy SEAL during the war. He
lost part of a leg in a combat
engagement for which he received
the Medal of Honor.
Earlier in his war service, on
Feb. 25, 1969, he led a seven-man
squad in a nighttime raid on
Thanh Phong, in Vietnam’s
Mekong Delta, to eliminate
Vietcong officials. They ended up
shooting dead at least a dozen
women and children.
Those details came to light only
in early 2001, shortly after Kerrey
retired from the Senate.
Kerrey and five members of his
squad issued a statement saying
the civilians were caught in crossfire as the men fought their way
out of the village. One member of
his squad and two surviving villagers painted a darker picture,
saying the civilians were executed

to ensure the squad could make a
safe exit without the local Vietcong
being alerted.
In his 2002 book “When I Was a
Young Man,” Kerrey said, “I saw
women and children in front of us
being hit and cut to pieces. I heard
their cries and other voices in the
darkness as we made our retreat
to the canal.
“The young, innocent man who
went to Vietnam died that night.
After that night, I no longer had
illusions or objectivity about the
war. I had become someone I did
not recognize.”
Controversy over Kerrey’s revelation flared for a while, then
eased off. The United States had
little inclination to recall such old
battles when facing the challenges
of 9/11.
Fulbright University Vietnam
had been gestating since 2013 and
finally cleared all hurdles to be
inaugurated on May 25 this year
in a ceremony attended by U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry, a
former Senate colleague of
Kerrey’s and fellow Vietnam vet.

There is still an opportunity
available for youth interested in
being part of a new career skills
program for rising high school
juniors and seniors.
Local nonprofit organization
The Refuge has announced it still
has spots available for its inaugural Youth Career Connection
program,
which
begins
Wednesday, June 22.
Youth Career Connection is a
program for rising high school
juniors and seniors who might
like to get a jump-start on developing their career skills.
“It’s a great opportunity for
them to get ready for the workforce,” said Kelli Kyle, vice president of The Refuge.
The Youth Career Connection
program is a new version of The
Refuge’s
existing
Career
Connection program.
Career Connection classes
cover such areas as decisionmaking skills, job interview
skills, resume writing, money
The Youth Career Connection program is set to take
place at The Refuge from Wednesday through Saturday,
June 22-25. Optional Industrial Skills in Mechatronics
training will be offered at Cleveland State June 27-29,
while Customer Service training will be offered June 29
to July 1.
management,
beginning
Microsoft Word and Microsoft
Excel skills. The Refuge also
partners with Cleveland State
Community College to offer
optional training in customer
service or industrial mechanical
skills.
“We’re still going to teach the
same information to these students,” Kyle said. “But this is
going to be tailored to where they
are in life.”
The Refuge decided to partner
with Boys & Girls Clubs George
Johnson Teen Center and the F.I.
Denning Center of Technology
and Careers, Cleveland City
Schools’ alternative school, to fill
its first Youth Career Connection
class.
Bailey Parker, director of the
BGC’s George Johnson Teen
Center, said earlier this year she
was excited this program would
be giving youth the opportunity
to build their work skills during
the summer, a time when they
are out of school and may not
have much to do.
Derek Morris, the work-based
learning teacher at the F.I.
Denning Center, said the Youth
Career Connection program will
help reinforce what he is already
teaching students.
Morris explained he and his
fellow educators have been trying
to get the school’s at-risk students to see they can make positive changes for their futures.
“We’re trying to build success-
es for them and give them the
building blocks they need to be
successful,” Morris said.
Though youth with both
organizations were given the
opportunity to be part of the program, there were additional
spots left over after the interested
students registered.
Now, the first session of the
program is being made available
to any student in Bradley County
or Polk County who will be a high
school junior or senior this fall.
A total of six spots remain,
Kyle said.
Each community participant is
being asked to pay a $25 registration fee, but Kyle said the program will provide training valued
at more than $2,000.
Students who complete both
the program at The Refuge and
one of the programs at Cleveland
State can receive two completion
certificates, 2.5 college credit
hours and an ACT National
Career Readiness Certificate.
“It’s a huge opportunity for
them to enhance their career
skills while still in high school,”

EMPOWERING
YOUR BUSINESS
Marketing to Existing
Customers
By Tennessee Small Business Development Center
at Cleveland State Community College
Business owners
often place a lot of
effort attracting new
customers. Existing
customers, though,
typically make up the
majority of most
business’ revenue. So
how can you reach out
to existing customers
and convince them to
buy more?
Gather current data
on your customers
about what they buy,
when, and how much
they spend. This will
allow you to craft
personalized marketing
campaigns based on
customer preferences.
Also make sure you
are staying in regular
contact with customers
through print or email
This is the second year of the
event along the historic
Cleveland street. All proceeds
from the benefit sale, sponsored
by local residents, will go to the
Museum Center.
newsletters ensuring
they are aware of new
products, services or
offers.
Host customer
appreciation events
such as after-hours
sales or luncheons. Be
sure to follow up after
a sale to get feedback.
This will allow you an
opportunity to address
any questions or
problems. You may
also find this to be a
chance to sell
complementary
services or products.
Retaining existing
customers can help
those marketing
dollars stretch and
provide a better return
on your marketing
investment.

Happy Birthday: Alter the way you
look or strive to improve your emotional
situation. Making changes will help you
move forward. Associate with people
By Ned Classics
By Conrad Day
and groups that share your beliefs and
you will gain the courage required to
implement what you need to achieve
greater happiness. Make your own
decisions instead of bending to someone else's will. Your numbers are 9, 15,
22, 23, 35, 41, 46.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take
advantage of any time you get to spend
with someone special to you. The conversations or interaction you have will
change the way you move forward.
Make vacation plans. Taking action will
impress someone you love.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will
get what you ask for. Pay attention to
details and you will exceed expectations. A professional or financial gain is
possible, but don't spend money before
you have received what's owed to you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look for
signs to guide you in one direction or
another. Once you make up your mind,
make your choices clear to avoid any
interference. A change is overdue and
will encourage and motivate you to follow your heart.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look
for a unique way to present what you
have to offer. It's OK to be different,
and doing so will help you capture
interest that can make your life easier.
A new venture looks promising.
Consider forming a partnership with
someone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Consider
what you can contribute to something
or someone you believe in. You can
bring about change if you feel passionate about a cause, concern or belief.
Taking control will lead to new opportunities. A romantic connection will flourish.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep a
close watch on the way others
respond. Someone will take advantage
of you if you aren't careful. An opportunity to learn will present itself. Don't rely
on others for information. Network and
negotiate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Look outside your normal surroundings and you
will discover a new way to deal with old
problems. Business trips will help you
see what needs to be done in order to
advance. The information you pick up
will lead to personal gains.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Donate possessions you no longer
need, or have a garage sale to bring in
extra cash. Use your imagination and
you will find an innovative way to market something you enjoy. Keep your
emotions hidden and personal matters
a secret.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Concentrate on stabilizing your relationships with others. Bring about
changes that will keep the peace and
give you leeway to work at something
that makes you happy. Romance is in
the stars.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Close deals, complete projects and
make plans to spend time with family or
friends. Your downtime will give you the
break you need to regenerate and will
provide the incentive to invest in something that will free up more time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Don't let peer pressure stop you from
heading in a direction that appeals to
you. Bringing about change may not
please everyone, but it will give you
the boost you need to do your own
thing. Celebrate with someone you
love.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look
for alternatives rather than giving in to
someone who is offering you a poor
deal. Someone who has advised you in
the past will be able to help you out
again. Favors will be granted and partnerships look promising.
Birthday Baby: You are engaging,
popular and impressive. You are inventive and dynamic.

8 p.m. on (WRCB)
America’s Got Talent
Earning the Golden Buzzer — which means
being sent straight through to the liveperformance phase — has to be especially
sweet for anyone at this early stage of the
competition, and that possibility exists as
the season’s “Auditions” continue here.
Getting that affirmation from the notoriously
choosy Simon Cowell would have to be
even sweeter, but it also can come from
any of his fellow judges: Mel B, Heidi Klum
or Howie Mandel. Nick Cannon is the host.
8 p.m. on (WTVC)
To Tell the Truth
One of several classic game shows being
revived by ABC this summer begins its run,
with Anthony Anderson spending his hiatus
from “blackish” as both the host and an executive producer here. The format still has
several people claiming to be the individual
in question, with a panel having to determine who indeed is telling the truth. Notable
among the guessers: tireless genre veteran
Betty White. NeNe Leakes, the NBA’s Jalen
Rose and guest panelists also participate.
9 p.m. on (WNGH)
The Draft
The process of selecting Americans for
military duty is considered by this special,
which notes controversies that the draft
has generated — encompassing President
Franklin Roosevelt’s creation of a peacetime draft. Those chosen to serve often
have had long tours of duty in foreign lands,
with protests on home turf being among the
results, certainly during the Vietnam War.
Interviews also trace reforms that have
been applied to the draft over the years.
9 p.m. on (WTVC)
Uncle Buck
The premise is the same but the veneer
has been changed up as the 1989 John
Candy movie yields this sitcom, premiering
with back-to-back episodes, “Pilot” and “L’il
Scarface.” Now played by Mike Epps, the
title character still becomes the unlikely sitter for the children (Iman Benson, Sayeed
Shahidi, Aalyrah Caldwell) of his brother
and sister-in-law (James Lesure, Nia Long).
As offbeat as Buck’s approach is, he proves
to be a good match for the kids.
9 p.m. on (TNT)
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-as-nails grandmother
Janine “Smurf” Cody (Ellen Barkin). Into
this world moves a teenage grandson,
Joshua (Finn Cole, “Peaky Blinders”), after
his mother dies of a heroin overdose. Scott
Speedman (“Underworld”), Shawn Hatosy
(“Southland”), Ben Robson (“Vikings”) and
Jake Weary (“Pretty Little Liars”) also star.

NATIONAL BRIEFS
Defense to review information
from state in officer trial
BALTIMORE (AP) — The
defense team for an officer facing
a murder charge stemming from
the death of a 25-year-old black
man in custody will determine
whether to file motions after the
state was forced to turn over a
packet of information to them.
Forty-six-year-old
Caesar
Goodson, who is black, is charged
with second-degree murder stemming from Freddie Gray’s death.
Gray died in 2015, a week after he
suffered a critical spinal injury in
Goodson’s van. Goodson’s trial
began Thursday.
Last week Baltimore Circuit
Judge Barry Williams admonished the state for failing to disclose information to Goodson’s
defense team and gave prosecutors until Monday to turn over
anything that could be considered
helpful to the defense. On
Monday, prosecutors produced a
packet.
Testimony
will
resume
Tuesday.
National Aquarium to move
dolphins into refuge
MIAMI (AP) — Eight dolphins
that have spent their lives swimming in tanks will be retired from
the National Aquarium in
Baltimore into a seaside sanctuary.
By announcing plans to move
its dolphins into a protected habitat by the end of 2020, the aquarium sails into uncharted waters
for the marine mammal industry.
SeaWorld, which earlier this year
ended its orca breeding and hinted at similar changes for its dolphins someday, has balked at
similar proposals from activists
who want its animals released
into natural waters.
“There’s no model anywhere,
that we’re aware of, for this,”
aquarium CEO John Racanelli
told The Associated Press in an
interview ahead of Tuesday’s
announcement. “We’re pioneering
here, and we know it’s neither the
easiest nor the cheapest option.”
Potential sites in the Florida
Keys and the Caribbean have
been explored, Racanelli said.
The Atlantic bottlenose dolphins won’t simply be released
into open seas. The aquarium’s
criteria for a sanctuary include a
full-time staff, “excellent water
quality” in a temperate climate,
isolation pools for medical care or
temporary refuge from harmful
conditions and barriers to stop
breeding among the dolphins or
mingling with wild dolphins,
Racanelli said.
Only the oldest dolphin in the
group has ever swum in ocean
water: a female captured in 1972.
Six were born at the aquarium
and one was born at SeaWorld in
Orlando.
Trial to begin for officer charged
with murder in shooting
CHESTERFIELD, Va. (AP) —
The trial is set to begin for a
Virginia police officer charged with
murder in the off-duty shooting of
an 18-year-old at a car wash.
Richmond police officer David
Cobb’s trial is expected to begin
Tuesday at the Chesterfield
County Circuit. It’s supposed to
last three days.
A grand jury indicted Cobb in
February on charges including
second-degree murder in the
death of Paterson Brown Jr. in
October.
Officials say Brown got into the
officer’s vehicle at the car wash
and drove it out of the washing
bay. They say Cobb told him to get
out and later shot Brown during
an altercation. Cobb wasn’t on
duty.
Surveillance video from the car
wash showed the officer and
Brown struggled briefly before a
shot was fired.
Both men are black.
Virginia man to be sentenced
in church attack plot
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A
Virginia man accused of plotting
to shoot up or bomb synagogues
and black churches is set to be
sentenced in federal court.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled Tuesday for Ronald Chaney
III. Chaney pleaded guilty in
March to robbery conspiracy and
firearm charges.
Prosecutors say Chaney and a
co-conspirator, Robert Doyle, are
white supremacists who bought
guns and explosives from undercover agents. Officials say the two
men and another defendant conspired to rob a silver and coin
dealer and use the money to
finance a race war.
Prosecutors are asking for 12 ½
years in prison. Chaney’s attorney
is arguing for a lower sentence,
saying there’s no evidence he
agreed to carry out specific acts of
violence.
Doyle was sentenced to 17 ½
years in prison.
Indiana man arrested in LA area
wasn’t allowed to have guns
CHARLESTOWN, Ind. (AP) — A
man arrested in Southern
California with three assault rifles
who told police he was headed to
a gay pride event had earlier been
ordered by a judge in his home
state of Indiana to give up all his
guns.
But authorities there said
Monday that they didn’t make any
surprise checks on James Wesley
Howell to confirm he was following the probation requirement.
Howell has a California court
appearance tentatively scheduled
for Tuesday, but it wasn’t yet clear
what charges he’ll face, if any.
He was arrested early Sunday
in Santa Monica with the weapons
and explosives in a car he apparently drove from Indiana. He told
police he was headed to a gay
pride event in West Hollywood
that attracts hundreds of thousands of people.
It’s unclear whether Howell, 20,
intended any violence at the LA
Pride event, but the timing of the
arrest — hours after the massacre
at a gay nightclub in Orlando,
Florida — put police and event
organizers on heightened alert.
An Indiana probation officer
met with Howell of Charlestown,
Indiana, three weeks ago, rated
him a low-level offender, and had
yet to schedule the in-home visit,
said James Hayden, chief probation officer in Clark County.
Howell didn’t have permission
to leave Indiana after pleading
guilty to a misdemeanor intimidation charge. Authorities there are
seeking to have him returned as a
probation violator.
Court records in Indiana and
friends depict Howell as a gun
enthusiast with a quick temper.
Jury to decide whether ‘Stairway
to Heaven’ riff is lifted
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Generations of aspiring guitarists
have tried to copy the riff from Led
Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.”
Starting on Tuesday, a Los
Angeles court will try to decide
whether the members of Led
Zeppelin themselves ripped off the
riff.
The band’s guitarist Jimmy
Page and singer Robert Plant are
named as defendants in the lawsuit brought by the trustee of guitarist Randy Wolfe from the band
Spirit. Attorneys for the trustee
contend that 1971’s “Stairway to
Heaven” copies music from the
Spirit song “Taurus,” which Wolfe
wrote in either 1966 or 1967.
Wolfe died in 1997, drowning
while saving his son in Hawaii.
Page, Plant and their bandmate
John Paul Jones are all expected
to testify at the trial, though Jones
has been dismissed as a defendant in the case.
Led Zeppelin and Spirit performed at some concerts and festivals around the same time, but
not on the same stage.
U.S District Judge R. Gary
Klausner ruled in April that evidence presented in hearings made
a credible case that Led Zeppelin
may have heard “Taurus” performed before their song was created.
Francis Alexander Malofiy,
attorney for Wolfe’s trustee
Michael Skidmore, said while
many copyright cases are an
uphill battle, Klausner’s ruling
brings his client one step closer to
getting Wolfe credit for helping
create one of the most recognizable song introductions in rock history.
Protesters want to nix Confederate
sign on Miss. flag
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) —
Protesters plan to gather outside
the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday to say
the Confederate battle emblem on
the Mississippi flag is a vestige of
slavery and Congress should
erase it.
Among the scheduled speakers
for the Flag Day rally is Aunjanue
Ellis, an actress who lives in Pike
County, Mississippi, where she
grew up. One of the stars of the
ABC series “Quantico” and the
2011 movie, “The Help,” Ellis said
the Mississippi flag is a national
issue because Americans shouldn’t spend tax dollars on a symbol
tied to slavery and the Ku Klux
Klan.
“This country presents itself as
this beacon of hope and opportunity and equality and race-transcendence to the world,” Ellis told
The Associated Press last week.
“We can’t say that and, ‘Well, with
the exception of Mississippi.’”
U.S. House Republican leaders
last week blocked Democratic
Rep. Bennie Thompson of
Mississippi from trying to ban
Confederate symbols from the
House side of the Capitol.
Thompson, the only black member of Mississippi’s congressional
delegation, responded that the
House “will continue to sanction
and glorify relics of bondage, big-
otry and oppression.”
Nearly 38 percent of Mississippi
residents are black — the highest
percentage of any state. It is the
only state with a flag that still
includes the Confederate battle
emblem. The symbol has been
there since 1894, and voters
chose to keep it in 2001.
Supporters of the flag, including
Sons of Confederate Veterans, say
it represents their heritage.
Vigil held in New Jersey
hometown of slain ‘Voice’ singer
EVESHAM TOWNSHIP, N.J.
(AP) — Family, friends and fans
gathered for a candlelight vigil in
the New Jersey hometown of a
singer who was shot dead as she
signed autographs for fans following a Florida concert.
Hundreds paid tribute to 22year-old Christina Grimmie
Monday night in Evesham
Township at the town’s Memorial
Complex, where photos of her
graced the field.
“It doesn’t seem real,” close
family friend Hope Compton told
the Courier-Post. “But we’ll see
her again in heaven.”
Compton told the newspaper
that she flew to California to be
with Grimmie’s mother after the
shooting and flew back with her
Monday afternoon.
Authorities said Grimmie was
gunned down by Kevin Loibl
Friday night as she signed autographs after performing at a show
in Orlando. A motive for the
shooting has not been determined. Authorities said she had
no personal connection to Loibl,
who fatally shot himself after
being tackled by her brother.
“She loved this town, Marcus
Grimmie told the crowd. “She
loved this state. She loved singing.
She loved the Lord and she loved
me. She was my baby sister.”
Grimmie was a YouTube star
who was widely known from her
appearances on NBC’s “The Voice”
two years ago. She lived in
Evesham, a small community
about 20 miles from Philadelphia,
before moving to Los Angeles in
2012.
Earlier Monday pop star Adam
Levine, who mentored Grimmie
when she finished third on “The
Voice,” offered to pay funeral
expenses. Spokeswoman Carleen
Donovan confirmed that Levine
made the offer.
since his teens had performed in
numerous circuses, including the
Ringling Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey Circus.
He had also appeared in films,
including “Big Top Pee-wee” and
“Freaked,” as well as on TV. He
was best known costumed as the
extraterrestrial title character of
“ALF,” which aired from 1986 to
1990. (Otherwise, ALF was a puppet operated and voiced by Paul
Fusco.)
Police: Suspect in death of
wife, 4 daughters in custody
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) —
The search for a man charged in
the deaths of his wife and four
daughters in the United States
ended in the hills of a northern
Mexico town where authorities
say the suspect threatened to take
his life as officers closed in on
him.
Juan David Villegas-Hernandez
was taken into custody by Sonora
state police on Sunday — a day
after police in Roswell, New
Mexico, said the 34-year-old shot
and killed his wife, Cynthia
Villegas, and their four daughters
— ages 14, 11, 7 and 3.
The mother, who also was 34,
was a well-respected employee of
the Eastern New Mexico Medical
Center, said Roswell Mayor
Dennis Kintigh, who spoke with
the CEO of the hospital on
Sunday.
“This rippled through town
quickly,” he said. “Candidly, it’s
hard to get your mind around the
deaths of small children. It’s hard
for law enforcement; it’s hard for
family members and the whole
community.”
He described Roswell, a desert
town in southern New Mexico, as
a community that can often feel
isolated from much of the rest of
the state. It’s home to about
50,000 people.
Records show that nearly 10
years ago the Villegas purchased
their home in Roswell, where the
shooting happened. Before that, it
appeared Villegas-Hernandez had
lived in Sierra Vista, Arizona.
He is originally from Arizpe, a
city in the Mexican state of Sonora
where he was arrested. It lies
southeast of the border crossing
nearest Nogales, Arizona.
Villegas-Hernandez has dual
citizenship in the United States
and Mexico, which means he can’t
be deported and is subject to
Mexico’s often-lengthy extradition
process, said Victor Felix, of
Sonora state police.
Roswell police haven’t released
a possible motive for the killings.
But according to court documents
obtained Monday by the
Albuquerque Journal, Cynthia
Villegas had just asked her hus-
band for a divorce.
Prosecutor: FedEx knew suicide
linked to illegal pharmacy
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — FedEx
delivered packages containing illegal prescription drugs for internet
pharmacies even after it noticed
that authorities were cracking
down on the businesses and was
told that one had shipped drugs
to a woman who committed suicide, prosecutors said Monday as
a trial began over drug trafficking
charges against the shipping
giant.
FedEx knew that drugs in millions of packages it delivered over
a decade were illegally prescribed
but shipped them anyway
because it did not want to lose
millions of dollars in revenue to
rival UPS, Assistant U.S. Attorney
John Hemann said during his
opening statement.
“They faced a choice, and the
choice is to stop or go, and time
and time again, they went,”
Hemann said at the trial in San
Francisco.
The government plans to rely
on FedEx’s emails to make its
case.
FedEx has denied the charges
and says it only shipped what it
believed were legal drugs from
pharmacies licensed by states
and registered with the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration.
Albuquerque police say shooter
scare may have been hoax
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) —
Albuquerque police conducted a
floor-by-floor search Monday
night of City Hall after getting a
flood of frantic calls about a possible shooter and hostage situation,
but they said there was no evidence any shots were ever fired or
that anyone was held against
their will.
Authorities set up a wide
parameter around the government office complex in the heart
of downtown Albuquerque after
the first calls for help came.
Albuquerque police spokesman
Tanner Tixier said one man was
being detained and investigators
believed that person was “the initiator” who spurred calls from
employees inside the building.
The man, who was not immediately identified, had previous contact with the police department’s
crisis intervention unit and was
known to have issues, Tixier said.
Police had received reports of a
man running through the halls
and yelling that there was a
shooter in the building.
Police believe the situation may
have been the result of a hoax,
but they were not taking any
chances.
“We’re going to make sure we do
a very thorough and systematic
search. We’re going to make sure
we don’t miss anybody in any
offices that may be hiding,” Tixier
said, noting that officers were not
working an active hostage situation.
The search of City Hall, which
houses both city and county government offices, was expected to
take a couple of hours, Tixier said.
Albuquerque police Chief
Gorden Eden was at the scene
along with Bernalillo County
Sheriff Manny Gonzales.
Employees were escorted away
from the building by officers in
tactical gear. No injuries were
reported.

James, Irving each score 41
Cavs stay alive in NBA Finals
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Booed
every time he touched the ball,
LeBron James cut through
Golden State’s defense and made
layups look easy. Dunks and 3pointers, so smooth, too.
And Kyrie Irving also completely had his way with the
Warriors.
King James and Irving thoroughly overpowered the defending champions from every spot
on the floor, and the Cavaliers
are still alive to chase that elusive championship.
The unflappable, determinedas-ever James had 41 points, 16
rebounds and seven assists,
Irving also scored 41 points and
Cleveland capitalized on the
absence of suspended star
Draymond Green, staving off
NBA Finals elimination with a
112-97 victory in Game 5 on
Monday night.
“We had a mindset that we
wanted to come here and just
extend our period and have
another opportunity to fight for
another day,” James said. “That
was our main concern, and we
were able to do that.”
James and Irving became the
first teammates to score 40
points in an NBA Finals game as
the Cavaliers pulled within 3-2
and sent their best-of-seven
series back to Ohio.
Afterward, sitting side by side
on the podium, they offered
back-and-forth shoutouts, with
James noting of Irving, “It’s
probably one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen live.”
Take that, haters. James has
much more to say about these
playoffs before he’s done — and
not with his mouth, even as the
criticism came from all directions following his Game 4 tussle
with Green and reaction to what
he considered the Golden State
forward’s inappropriate words.
James was booed again as the
Cavs left the court for their locker room, but thousands of fans
had already made for the exits
minutes earlier.
“Now, mind you, to repeat a
performance like this would definitely be tough, but whatever it
takes to win,” Irving said.
Cleveland handed Golden
State just its fourth defeat all
season at sold-out Oracle Arena,
denying MVP Stephen Curry and
the Warriors a chance to celebrate another championship
with their golden-clad “Strength
In Numbers” supporters. Now,

Reds get real ‘walk off’
from Braves pitchers

Oakland, Calif., Monday. 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-1 for his swipe at
James in the fourth quarter of
Friday’s Game 4.
Tied 61-all at halftime
Monday, the Warriors missed 14
of their first 20 shots out of
intermission and shot 7 for 24 in
the third as James and the Cavs
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 high-energy
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,” Kerr said. “We obviously
knew
we
were
without
Draymond, so there’s no point in
harping on that. We had to play
better, and we didn’t.”
James and Irving combined to
See NBA FINALS, Page 11
ATLANTA (AP) — Five Braves
pitchers, from starter Aaron Blair
to closer Arodys Vizcaino, made it
too easy for the Cincinnati Reds.
Vizcaino walked three batters in
the ninth, including a basesloaded free pass to Tyler Holt that
forced in the tie-breaking run, and
Atlanta lost to the Reds 9-8 on
Monday night.
Braves pitchers combined for
eight walks, including three
straight by Blair in the third
inning. His third walk also forced
in a run.
“You can’t defend it,” said
Braves interim manager Brian
Snitker of the walks by Blair. “You
can’t do anything with it. And he
ended up, what, retiring the last
nine out of 10. Seemed like he got
tired of it and got aggressive but
that’s kind of the way you’ve got to
start the game.”
Blair allowed six runs on four
hits and four walks in five innings,
leaving his ERA at 7.59.
“It’s kind of been a roller coaster
from inning to inning but hopefully in five days I can make it
smooth,” Blair said.
Reds closer Tony Cingrani
restored order in the ninth with
three quick groundouts by Freddie
Freeman, Nick Markakis and
Adonis Garcia.
Cingrani said he was determined he wouldn’t add more
walks to the daunting collection
by the two teams. He said aggressive approaches by Atlanta’s hitters helped him record quick outs.
“I wanted to come in and throw
strikes and quality strikes,”
Cingrani said earning his seventh
save in 12 chances.
“Freeman swings at the first
pitch and Markakis was up there
swinging at two pitches and he
grounds out. Garcia seemed like
he wanted to swing it so just
throw it in there and let them get
themselves out. A nice, easy
inning.”
Ross Ohlendorf (5-5) allowed
one run in the eighth on Garcia’s
tying homer.
Freeman drove in three runs
with three hits, including a tworun homer off JC Ramirez in the
fifth.
Adam Duvall hit a two-run
homer and drove in three runs for
the Reds.
Joey Votto hit a leadoff bloop
double into shallow left field to
lead off the ninth. The ball fell off
third baseman Garcia’s glove as
he ran with his back to the infield.
Vizcaino (1-2) struck out
Brandon Phillips before issuing an
intentional walk to Jay Bruce.
Duvall popped out before Eugenio
Suarez walked to load the bases
for Holt, who walked on a 3-1
pitch.

Waterdogs now 3-0 in CASL white division
By SARALYN NORKUS
Banner Sports Writer
It may have been hot outside,
but the real scorching action was
in the local pools as both the
Waterdogs and Aqua Tigers hosted swim meets on Monday.
The Waterdogs were able to
improve their record to 3-0 after
defeating the Fort Oglethorpe
(Ga.) Marlins 423-324. CAT (0-3)
battled, but fell to the Signal
Mountain Green Giants 458-312.
According to Waterdogs coach
Tony Womac, the meet between
his new team and his former
team was very tight.
“We won by 99 points. It was a
great meet and was very close —
it was back and forth for most of
the meet,” Womac said. “Our kids
did a great job. They are improving every week, and it was great
to hear them come up to me and
tell me how they had dropped
time.”
While the swim meet was back
and forth for the majority of the
night, the number of swimmers
on the Waterdogs’ roster proved
beneficial in the long run.
“We really had numbers on
them, so that kind of helped during the relays,” the Waterdog
coach explained. “They had a lot
of great individual swimmers, but
overall we could win some events,
but we’d also come in second,
third and fourth — we were very
solid across the board. That really shows up in the relays, when
you have four strong swimmers
Banner photo, SARALYN NORKUS
WATERDOG SWIMMER Katie Estes is cheered on by younger teammate Maddy Dauphinais as she makes the turn during Monday’s
meet against Fort Oglethorpe (Ga). going up against maybe only one
or two that are strong.”
Juliet Bryant and Davina
Sharma both finished with the
max amount of high points, at 19
each. Coming in with 17 points
was Maddy Dauphinais and
Martin Shapoval.
Maya Sharma, Josephy Arnett,
Andrew Ruckman and Brendon
Ruckman all finished with 13
points each, while Katie Estes,
Audrey Torchick and Grace
Dauphinais had 12 points each.
Ashley Bryant, Mason Cross
and Micah Hicks swam for 11
points a piece.
Rounding out the high point
scorers
were
Pollianna
Moshenskiy, Noah Thornton,
Simon Hummelsberger and Ridge
Asble with 10 points each.
The Waterdogs will be back in
action on June 23, when they
travel to Red Bank.
“I’m looking forward to a good
week and a half of practice,”
Womac commented. “Getting
started late, we’ve been looking
forward to some time away from
swim meets so that we can really
concentrate on improving our
techniques and getting faster.”
Swimming in the top division
has proven quite a challenge for
the Aqua Tigers.
“Signal is a solid team and we
did lose, (but) that’s just how it’s
going to be this year, swimming
in the top division. A lot of the
other teams are extremely deep
and we’re a little thin in some age
groups,” CAT coach Matt Huff
explained. “We’re making a lot of
improvements and progress, so
we’re just going to ‘keep on keeping on,’ regardless of the win-loss
records.”
Those improvements were evident on Monday night.
“[Monday] night we really cut
down on the disqualifications,
which was really nice. We had a
lot of good swims from pretty
much every age group,” the coach
continued.
Peter Falcone led the Aqua
Tigers in high point scoring with
19 points, while Alexia Jackson
and Grayson Payne finished with
17 points each.
Jacob McDaniel swam for 16
points and Lauren Thompson
had 14 points
Finishing with 13 points were
Benjamin Cooper and Rebecca
Nolen, with Grayson Office and
Luke Bixler following closely with
12 points each.
Trey Parris rounded out the
high point scoring with a total of
10.

Spieth on ‘major’ roll
going into U.S. Open
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Jordan Spieth feels confident about his game, typical talk from most top players going into a major.
Unlike so many others at this U.S. Open, however,
Spieth speaks from experience.
Not since Tiger Woods a decade ago has anyone
had this kind of run in golf’s biggest events. From
the time he missed the cut at Valhalla in the 2014
PGA Championship, Spieth has not finished worse
than fourth in his last five majors. He won the
Masters and U.S. Open, missed a playoff at the
British Open by one shot, was runner-up at the PGA
Championship, and he tied for second at this year’s
Masters.
He made it sound Monday as though form were
secondary to sheer belief.
“Is my game always (good) ... no,” he said, answering his own question before he finished it. “The
Masters this year, tee to green, I felt much worse
than I did at events where I finished 25th at a tour
event. But because I just felt that we were ready and
that we could do it and I could draw on past experience — especially at that event — we got into contention. I willed the putts in. I couldn’t really
describe it to you other than it just being kind of a
mental state of being confident at the majors.”
Such streaks are rare.
In the last 60 years, only Jack Nicklaus (three
times), Woods (twice) and Arnold Palmer have gone
at least five straight majors in the top five. Nicklaus
went seven straight majors from the 1971 PGA
Championship through the 1972 British Open, while
Woods’ longest stretch of top 5s was six majors from
the 1999 PGA Championship through the 2001
Masters. He won five of those six majors.
Whether the 22-year-old Texan can extend his
streak depends largely on Oakmont.
The course has lived up to its reputation as the
toughest championship test in golf over the last couple of days of dry weather. Spieth was among those
who predicted no one will finish the week under par,
as was the case in 2007 at Oakmont when Angel
Cabrera won at 5-over 285.
Rain could change that. But rain won’t make the
rough shrink.
The density of the grass is as fearsome as the
speed of the greens. Graeme McDowell had a bet
with his caddie on Sunday in which the former U.S.
Open champion would get $30 for every birdie, and
he would lose $10 for every bogey. He played the
back nine and lost $50.
The wind was so strong Sunday that Spieth said
he would have shot somewhere around 75 or 76 at
best, and he would have been happy with it.
“But today, with less wind, I thought that it was
more playable,” he said. “Still extremely challenging,
where par is a great score, but I thought if you hit
the ball where you were looking you could have
birdie opportunities on quite a few holes. At the
same time ... I’d sign for even par. I don’t think anyone is going to be in the red come 72 holes. So it will
be a challenge. But I’m looking forward to it.”
Spieth is coming off a stretch of playing four
straight weeks, with one very important tournament.
He missed the cut at The Players Championship,
his first tournament back since losing a five-shot
lead on the back nine at the Masters. He lost a good
chance to win in his hometown at the AT&T Byron
Nelson when he shot 74 in the final round. The
important week was Colonial, where Spieth birdied
his last three holes to win. He started well at the
Memorial until fading badly on the weekend, but
that win in Texas was big for his morale.
And it eased some of the sting from Augusta.
“That was a huge week for us, especially to win
before any of the next majors,” he said. “If we can get
ourselves in contention here, I can draw back on
Colonial, what happened at the end there. I think it
would have been that much harder.”
The really hard part is winning at Oakmont — not
just because it’s Oakmont, but the history against
him. Curtis Strange is the only player in the last 65
years to win the U.S. Open in back-to-back years.
Strange won in 1988 and 1989.
No one has come particularly close, either. Retief
Goosen was defending champion in 2005 and took a
three-shot lead into the final round at Pinehurst No.

Nats’ Scherzer allows just 2 hits to dominate Cubs
WASHINGTON (AP) — Max
Scherzer retired the first 16 batters he faced and threw seven
innings of two-hit ball, striking
out 11 in a pitching masterpiece
that carried the Washington
Nationals past the Chicago Cubs
4-1 Monday night.
Scherzer’s bid for his third
career no-hitter ended with one
out in the sixth when Addison
Russell homered on a 3-2 pitch.
The only other batter to reach
against Scherzer (8-4) was
Anthony Rizzo, who doubled in
the seventh.
Facing the team with the best
record in the majors, Scherzer
became the 26th pitcher in baseball history to have 40 games
with at least 10 strikeouts. He
has won three straight starts,
allowing only three runs over 22
innings.
Shawn Kelley got five outs for
his first save.
Wilson Ramos hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning for
the NL East-leading Nationals,
who have won four straight and
seven of eight.
Kyle Hendricks (4-6) gave up
four runs and six hits in 5 1/3
innings.
ROYALS 2, INDIANS 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Whit Merrifield hit his first career
homer, Edinson Volquez tossed
seven scoreless innings of twohit ball and Kansas City beat
Cleveland to end a five-game skid
against the Indians.
Alcides Escobar also drove in a
run for the Royals, who have won
three in a row after an eightgame losing streak. They also
won their seventh consecutive
game at Kauffman Stadium.
Volquez (6-6) walked the bases
loaded in the first inning before
settling down, allowing only a
double to Jason Kipnis and a
single to Lonnie Chisenhall.
Kelvin Herrera allowed a leadoff homer to Kipnis in the eighth.
Wade Davis earned his 18th
save.
Carlos Carrasco (2-2) gave up
both Kansas City runs and 10
hits over six innings.
WHITE SOX 10, TIGERS 9,
12 INNINGS
CHICAGO (AP) — Adam Eaton
singled home the winning run in
the 12th inning for his fourth hit
of the night, and Chicago rallied
from seven runs down in a wild
victory over Detroit.
J.B. Shuck led off the 12th with
a double down the first-base line
and advanced on Tim Anderson’s
sacrifice. With the infield playing
in, Eaton bounced a grounder up
the middle against Anibal
Sanchez (3-7).
Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer
for Chicago, and Dioner Navarro
had a solo shot. Zach Duke (1-0)
pitched a scoreless inning for the
win, long after White Sox manager
Robin Ventura was ejected for
arguing balls and strikes.
The White Sox trailed 7-0 in the
third after another shaky outing
from James Shields in his second
start since he was acquired from
San Diego. They faced a 9-7 deficit
in the ninth before they got to
Francisco Rodriguez for two runs
with two outs, snapping a string
of 19 straight successful save
opportunities for the veteran closer.
Brett Lawrie and Avisail Garcia
delivered consecutive RBI singles
to tie it.
Ian Kinsler homered for the
third straight game for Detroit,
which had won seven of nine. J.D.
Martinez had three hits while subbing for designated hitter Victor
Martinez, sidelined by right knee
irritation.

41st consecutive save, 13th this
season. He escaped a basesloaded jam in the eighth with the
help of a diving catch by Bourn.

Martin Prado homered for the
Marlins, who rested sore slugger
Giancarlo Stanton. Still, they built
an 8-1 cushion by the third inning
and eased to their third win in five
games.
Wei-Yin Chen (4-2) allowed four
solo homers and seven hits in six
innings. He struck out seven and
won for just the second time in
eight starts.
Colin Rea (3-3) was battered for

Ramos allowed eight runs in 3
2/3 innings. He pitched in place
of Darvish, who had been scheduled to start this game before
experiencing shoulder discomfort.
Daniel Coulombe (1-0) won in
relief of starter Sean Manaea, who
exited after 4 1/3 innings with a
strained left forearm.
Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo

second victory since April 21 for
Minnesota, which won consecutive games for the second time in

Editorial
Understanding 13 folds
in our American flag
A
s patriots from corner to
corner of this proudly
diverse land called
America pause today in observance of Flag Day, we thought
it appropriate to share some
information that might be only
vaguely familiar to many men
and women of our nation.
Its message is no secret.
Access to it is as simple as
logging on to the Internet.
Many veterans, and the widows and widowers of
America’s veterans, probably
keep it framed in prominent
locations on a living room wall.
Truth is, the first time we
published this information as
an editorial — back on June
14, 2013 — we were surprised
at the number of phone calls
and emails, and comments
made in person, that we
received afterward from
Cleveland and Bradley County
residents, many of whom are
our newspaper’s readers and
did not know this story.
For this reason, we’ve made
it a point — on Flag Day — to
revisit the story’s telling. We
trust it will be just as beneficial
to a new audience three years
later, as well as to any who
need to clip a new copy for
their refrigerator door or other
areas of prominent household
viewing.
We refer to the symbolism
behind the 13 folds of the
American flag. Explanations
we came upon — in the editorial’s first printing — on an
array of websites commonly
preface the information by
posing this question, “Have
you ever noticed how the
Honor Guard pays meticulous
attention to correctly folding
the American flag 13 times?
Truly, it comes with purpose.
From this point on, we will
quote from already established
narrative, which, based on our
online research, is titled “The
Meaning of the 13 Folds of the
American Flag.”
It reads:
“The 1st fold of our flag is a
symbol of life.
“The 2nd fold is a symbol of
our belief in eternal life.
“The 3rd fold is made in
honor and remembrance of the
veterans departing our ranks
who gave a portion of their
lives for the defense of our
country to attain peace
throughout the world.
“The 4th fold represents our
weaker nature, for as
American citizens trusting in
God, it is to Him we turn in
times of war for His divine
guidance.
“The 5th fold is a tribute to
our country, for in the words of
Stephen
Decatur,
‘Our
Country, in dealing with other
countries, may she always be
right; but it is still our country,
right or wrong.’
“The 6th fold is for where our
hearts lie. It is with our heart
that we ‘... pledge allegiance to
the flag of the United States of
America, and to the republic
for which it stands, one Nation
under God, Indivisible, with
Liberty and Justice for all.’
our Armed Forces, for it is
through the Armed Forces that
we protect our country and our
flag against all her enemies,
whether they be found within
or without the boundaries of
our republic.
the one entered into the valley
of the shadow of death, that
we might see the light of day.
womanhood, and Mothers. For
it has been through their faith,
their love, loyalty and devotion
that the character of the men
and women who have made
this country great has been
molded.
the Father, for He too, has
given His sons and daughters
for defense of our country
since they were first born.
“The 11th fold represents the
lower portion of the seal of
King David and King Solomon
and glorifies in the Hebrews’
eyes, the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob.
“The 12th fold represents an
emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians’ eyes,
God the Father, the Son and
Holy Spirit.
“The 13th fold, or when the
flag is completely folded, the
stars are uppermost reminding
us of our nation’s motto, ‘In
God We Trust.’
“After the flag is completely
folded and tucked in, it takes
on the appearance of a cocked
hat, ever reminding us of the
soldiers who served under
Gen. George Washington, and
the sailors and marines who
served under Capt. John Paul
Jones, who were followed by
their comrades and shipmates
in the Armed Forces of the
United States, preserving for
us the rights, privileges and
freedoms we enjoy today.”
For those who still fervently
cling to the uncompromised
ideals, and to the original values of our America — whether
they are written or merely
understood — the above passages carry great meaning
and incredible weight in determining our balance in life.
We agree, without condition,
with this narrative’s final
reminder, “In the future, you’ll
see flags folded and now you
will know why. Share this with
the children you love and all
others who live the symbol of
‘Liberty and Freedom.’”
God Bless America.
She is not a perfect country.
But she is our country.
She has stood tall when others have fallen.
She has fought for what is
right when others have cowered.
She has defended the
defenseless when others have
turned away.
She has spoken for those
without a voice when others
have kept their silence.
She has shown without condition why she is the land of
the free and the home of the
brave.
She has pursued the cause
of America even as some
might believe America has lost
her cause.
In today’s eyes of some, the
American flag is just a fabric
and her colors denote what is
now a time of the past and a
past long forgotten.
To these naysayers and
other proponents of such
belief, we say this. America is
still America. Yes, sometimes
we are bruised. Yes, sometimes we bend. Yes, other
times we might stagger. But
we never break.
And the colors of our
America, and of our American
people ... remain the icon of
freedom and the symbol of
unending hope.
May the red, white and blue
of America’s rippling flag forever fly in the face of any who
would oppress and all who
would turn a deaf ear to the
precious doctrine of human
rights.
We are America. Our flag
defines our people. Our people
defend our flag.
Balancing a budget similar to beating
Murphy’s Law, but it takes some work
Have you ever been given a task to complete that consumes your every waking
hour? Have you ever noticed that Murphy’s
Law (Anything that can go wrong, will go
wrong) has a way of entering in to this equation?
If you have, you are not alone!
Many who attempt the completion of any
task soon find that there are, or will be,
many detractions and obstacles to overcome
before the finish line is crossed. How we
respond to these life interruptions is what
makes us who we are, and either ensures
victory or allows us to accept defeat.
I am not immune from these opportunities either. Those who know me best understand that budget time is a time of intense
debate, conversation and meetings that
leaves little time for anything else.
This time is a time in which my schedule
is full and time for anything else is limited,
at best. These two to three months are
spent in finding the best use of limited
funds for maximum impact.
This year you may have seen me recently
with an eye patch covering my left eye, due
to eye surgery that added a new dimension
of empathy, and also determination, to my
process.
Missing sleep, overcoming health limitations during recovery and adapting are
items that many do each day. To those who
meet these obstacles and make them opportunities, please know that I salute, and
value, your positive contributions even more
today than before. And in doing so I hope
that you appreciate my efforts to present not
only a balanced budget to the Bradley
County Commission for a vote, but one in
which we continue to live within our means.
You may have read previous news articles
concerning the budget for 2016-17. The
goals and highlights are:
OUR
COUNTY
Bradley County
Mayor
D. Gary Davis
1. No tax increase;
2. A 2 percent raise for employees, if possible;
3. Maintain fund balance of approximately
15 percent; and
4. Capital Project Fund created, with
growth dollars, to pay the extra $2.5 million
for Lake Forest Middle School (over three
years).
After a very difficult budget process this
year, we have one that is fiscally sound and
based on conservative estimates. Most
departments did as we asked and requested
no increase. Some departments requested
even less and, of course, a few requested
more.
I reminded our Bradley County commissioners that they asked me to put every
penny possible into the “other capital project
fund” for the additional $2.5 million for Lake
Forest Middle School. Needless to say, I
have made minor cuts throughout to get
this proposed budget balanced and presented to the Commission.
The result after all expenditures is a $7.5
million, or 14.9 percent, fund balance. With
this budget, every single department in the
General Fund will continue to provide the
level of service that our citizens have come
to expect and deserve. The Road Fund meets
the 5-year average required by law and the
schools are funded about the same. And a 2
percent raise for full-time employees is
included in this budget proposal.
Debt Service includes $3 million in industrial park bonds with hotel/motel tax revenue to cover cost; and $2 million in bonds
for the work-release addition (Bradley
County Workhouse), with revenue from
operations to cover cost.
In the Community Development Fund,
this year we pay the balance of our commitment for the APD 40 interchange/connector
road, and the purchase of the industrial
park property. Most of our veterans home
commitment is in this fund this year. This is
also where I put the Santek Waste Services
donation to help fund the industrial park
purchase.This is something that benefits the
city as well as the county.
Other Capital Projects is a new fund, following the request of the Finance
Committee. It was created by consolidating
the General Capital Project Fund, the
Education Capital Project Fund and a few
fractions of a penny moved from most all
others. This is what was meant when you
have heard me say, numerous times, “We
will re-allocate every single dollar possible to
this new fund to pay for the additional $2.5
million that this Commission approved for
Lake Forest.”
A 400-plus page budget request document, covering over 70 departments, has
now been reduced to 100 pages with the
help of every department, elected official and
employee of Bradley County working together to reach this significant achievement.
I appreciate the opportunity to work
together in our efforts to not only present
this budget, but to also serve those who call
Bradley County our home.
This extra effort by all, and the defeat of
Murphy’s Law, is not only appreciated, it is
one of the reasons Bradley County is
Tennessee at its Best!

TODAY IN HISTORY
(AP) — Today is Tuesday, June
14, the 166th day of 2016. There
are 200 days left in the year. This
is Flag Day.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 14, 1777, the
Continental Congress, meeting in
Philadelphia, adopted the original design of the Stars and
Stripes, specifying a flag containing thirteen red and white stripes
and thirteen stars.
On this date:
In 1775, the Continental
Army, forerunner of the United
States Army, was created.
In 1801, former American
Revolutionary War general and
notorious turncoat Benedict
Arnold died in London.
In 1922, Warren G. Harding
became the first president heard
on radio, as Baltimore station
WEAR broadcast his speech dedicating the Francis Scott Key
memorial at Fort McHenry.
In 1934, Max Baer defeated
Primo Carnera with an 11th
round TKO to win the world
heavyweight boxing championship in Long Island City, New
York.
In 1940, German troops
entered Paris during World War
II; the same day, the Nazis began
transporting prisoners to the
Auschwitz concentration camp in
German-occupied Poland.
In 1943, the U.S. Supreme
Court, in West Virginia State
Board of Education v. Barnette,
ruled 6-3 that children in public
schools could not be forced to
salute the flag of the United
States.
In 1954, President Dwight D.
Eisenhower signed a measure
adding the phrase “under God” to
the Pledge of Allegiance.
In 1967, the space probe
Mariner 5 was launched from
Cape Kennedy on a flight that
took it past Venus.
In 1972, the Environmental
Protection Agency ordered a ban
on domestic use of the pesticide
DDT, to take effect at year’s end.
In 1982, Argentine forces surrendered to British troops on the
disputed Falkland Islands.
In 1985, the 17-day hijack

In 1990, the U.S. Supreme
Court upheld, 6-3, police checkpoints that examined drivers for
signs of intoxication.
Ten years ago: President
George W. Bush, just back from a
surprise visit to Iraq, dismissed
calls for a U.S. withdrawal as
election-year politics and refused
to give a timetable or benchmark
for success that would allow
troops to come home.
Five years ago: President
Barack Obama made a four-hour
visit to Puerto Rico, becoming the
first president since John F.
Kennedy to make an official visit
to the U.S. territory. The longdelayed, problem-plagued musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the

Dear Readers: Today is Flag
Day. We promised to print some
of the patriotic poems that readers have been sending in for July
4, but we thought this one would
be perfect for today. The author is
Audrey Bashlor.
“Honor our flag of red, white
and blue,
remembering our war heroes
brought freedom to you.
Men and women of today and
years past
fought with valor so our freedoms would last.
The colonials bravely fought
the British redcoats;
our warriors fought the Nazis
and their U-boats.
Many wars have been fought
through the ages
filling our history books with a
great many pages.
So very long ago our independence was declared;
something for over 200 years
we have all shared.
Raise the flag, rejoice this day,
strike up the band,
people of many races enjoy
freedom in this land.
Remember our brave men and
women who fought
giving their lives to keep the
freedoms we sought.
Give thanks to those in our
armed forces today
Respect our flag and to them a
‘thank you’ say.”

On FBI’s radar: Shooter
was investigated before
WASHINGTON (AP) — He
didn’t come out of nowhere.
The Orlando shooter came
under suspicion three full
years ago, after boasting of
mutual acquaintances with
the
Boston
Marathon
bombers and making statements to co-workers that
suggested he had radical, violent intentions. But after a
10-month investigation the
FBI closed the case, finding
no criminal charge to pursue.
Omar Mateen was scrutinized again in 2014 as part of
a separate probe into a suicide bomber who attended
the same Florida mosque and
was a casual acquaintance.
Again, agents found no significant radical ties and shifted their focus away.
Did investigators miss
something they should have
seen? A look at how law
enforcement makes these
life-and-death judgments:
—DOES THE GOVERNMENT
BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE DONE
ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY?
“So far, the honest answer
is, I don’t think so,” FBI
Director James Comey says.
But he also says the FBI will
continue examining its past
actions.
Mateen’s behavior and
contacts were enough to
prompt surveillance, the use
of confidential informants
and three direct interviews
with him. But his was just
part of a huge volume of
investigations that has only
grown in an era of prolific
Islamic State propaganda
and its advocacy of do-ityourself terrorism.
President Barack Obama
on Monday lamented the difficulty of tracking “lone
wolves” who operate without
ties to known terror groups,
and Comey said the FBI
opens “hundreds and hundreds” of investigations
across the United States
just like the one Mateen
faced.
Most conclude without
any basis for arrest or further monitoring, and once
that happens, there’s no
mechanism for keeping perpetual watch on those subjects — or preventing them
from buying weapons.
Mateen was added to a terror watch list when he came
under investigation in 2013
but was removed once that
matter was closed.
Discerning whether someone under scrutiny will
commit violence, or even
who should be scrutinized,
is more than just finding
the proverbial needle in a
haystack, Comey said. “It’s
which pieces of hay are likely to become a needle.”
—HOW BIG IS THAT HAYSTACK,
REALLY?
Obama said Monday it’s
concerning when radical
groups are promoting violence “very effectively over the
internet.” In the U.S., he
said, “out of 300 million,
there are going to be some
individuals who find for
whatever reason that kind of
propaganda enticing.”
—WHAT’S THE PROTOCOL
FOR FBI COUNTERTERROR
INVESTIGATIONS?
Guidelines set by the attorney general spell out different
levels of investigation that
permit agents to use progressively more intrusive methods depending on the circumstances.
Mateen’s 2013 examination was a preliminary investigation, a type of inquiry that
requires a supervisor’s
approval and can go on for
six months, with an extension if warranted. This one
lasted 10 months before
being closed. In a preliminary
investigation, agents may
track phone calls and obtain
Internet
communications
and bank records.
Investigators looking into
Mateen’s statements to coworkers introduced confidential informants, followed him
and recorded his conversations, among other methods.
Mateen admitted making
the statements reported by
his coworkers, but explained
that he did it in anger
because he thought they
were discriminating against
him and teasing him because
he was Muslim, Comey said.
“The evidence developed
during the investigation was
consistent with his explanation that he had said these
things to try to freak out his
co-workers,” Comey said.
Agents ultimately accepted
that explanation.
More serious, longer-term
terrorism investigations can
employ invasive techniques
such as obtaining an order
from the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court to conduct electronic surveillance
and physical searches.
—HOW OFTEN DO PEOPLE
PREVIOUSLY KNOWN TO THE
FBI GO ON TO COMMIT
VIOLENCE?
It’s certainly not unheard
of.
A notable example is
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who
along with his brother carried
out the 2013 Boston
Marathon bombings. The FBI
interviewed Tsarnaev and relatives in 2011 following a tip
from a Russian intelligence
security service that he was a
follower of radical Islam. The
FBI did not find any domestic
or foreign terrorism activity.
More recently, Elton
Simpson, one of the two men
fatally shot during an
attempted attack last year on
a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland,
Texas, had previously been
prosecuted in Arizona in a
terrorism-related case. He
was given probation for lying
to a federal agent. But soon
before the May 2015 violence,
he re-emerged onto the FBI’s
radar because of postings on
social media.
ize I was normal and so much like
everyone else.”
Some, including Jason Primar,
who lost two friends in the massacre, released balloons that flew
high above the downtown skyscrapers.
Primar went to Pulse at 2 a.m.
Sunday, hoping for a good time
with friends. Instead, he was greeted with gunshots and worries
about those inside.
“I felt like I was over in Iraq,” he
said. He called his two friends
inside; they never answered. He
later discovered they died.
Comey said the FBI also was trying to determine whether Mateen
had recently scouted Disney World
as a potential target, as reported by
People.com, which cited an
unidentified federal law enforcement source.
“We’re still working through
that,” Comey said.
He defended the bureau’s handling of Mateen during two previous investigations into apparent
terrorist sympathies. As for
whether there was anything the
FBI should have done differently,
“so far, the honest answer is, I
don’t think so,” Comey said.
Wielding an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and a handgun, Mateen
opened fire at Pulse early Sunday
in a three-hour shooting rampage
and hostage siege that ended with
a SWAT team killing him. During
the attack, he called 911 to profess
allegiance to the Islamic State
group.
At the White House, President
Barack Obama said there is no
clear evidence so far that Mateen
was directed by the group, calling
the attack an apparent example of
“homegrown extremism.” Obama
will traveling to Orlando on
Thursday to pay respect to the victims and stand in solidarity with
the community, according to the
White House.
More details of the massacre
emerged, with Orlando police Chief
John Mina saying Mateen was
“cool and calm” during phone calls
with negotiators. But Mina said he
decided to send the SWAT team in
and bash through a wall after
Mateen holed up with hostages in a
bathroom and talked about bombs
and an explosive vest.
“We knew there would be an
imminent loss of life,” Mina said.
As it turned out, Mateen had no
explosives with him.
The tragedy hit the city’s gay and
Hispanic communities especially
hard. Sunday was Latino Night at
the club.
“As the names come out, they
are overwhelmingly Latino and
Hispanic names,” said Christina
Hernandez, a Hispanic activist.
“These were not just victims of the
LBGT community, but of the
Hispanic community, as well. This
was senseless bloodshed.”
Five of the wounded were reported in grave condition, meaning the
death toll could rise. A call has
gone out for blood donations.
Mateen’s grasp of the differences
between Islamic extremist groups
appeared shaky.
During three calls with 911 dispatchers, Mateen not only professed allegiance to the Islamic
State but also expressed solidarity
with a suicide bomber from the
Syrian rebel group Nusra Front,
and a few years ago he claimed
connections to Hezbollah, too —
both ISIS enemies, according to
Comey.
The FBI became aware of
Mateen in 2013 when co-workers
reported that the private security
guard claimed to have family connections to al-Qaida and to be a
member of Hezbollah, too, Comey
said. He was also quoted as saying
he hoped law enforcement would
raid his apartment and assault his
wife and child so that he could
martyr himself.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — As thousands in Orlando turned out to
mourn 49 people killed inside a gay
nightclub, federal investigators
examined possible motives for the
gunman who committed the worst
mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
The White House and the FBI
said 29-year-old Omar Mateen, an
American-born Muslim, appears to
be a “homegrown extremist” who
had touted support not just for the
Islamic State, but other radical
groups that are its enemies.
“So far, we see no indication that
this was a plot directed from outside the United States, and we see
no indication that he was part of
any kind of network,” FBI Director
James Comey said Monday. He
said Mateen was clearly “radicalized,” at least in part via the internet.
Despite Mateen’s pledge of support to the Islamic State, other possible explanations emerged. His exwife said he suffered from mental
illness. His Afghan-immigrant
father suggested he may have
acted out of anti-gay hatred, and
said his son got angry recently
about seeing two men kiss. But
questions also emerged over
whether Mateen was conflicted
about his own sexuality.
Jim Van Horn, 71, said Mateen
was a “regular” at the popular
Pulse nightclub where he’d later
take hostages and leave 49 dead.
“He was trying to pick up people.
Men,” Van Horn told The
Associated Press late Monday outside the Parliament House, another
gay club.
Van Horn, a retired pharmacist,
said he met Mateen once, and the
younger man talked about his exwife. But Van Horn said his friends
soon “told me they didn’t want me
talking to him, because they
thought he was a strange person.”
Van Horn acknowledged that he
didn’t know Mateen well, but said
he suspects that the massacre was
less about Islamic extremism and
more about a man conflicted about
his sexuality.
“I think it’s possible that he was
trying to deal with his inner
demons, of trying to get rid of his
anger of homosexuality,” said Van
Horn, who lost three friends in the
shooting. “It’s really confusing to
me. Because you can’t change who
you are. But if you pretend that
you’re different, then you may
shoot up a gay bar.”
The Orlando Sentinel and other
news organizations quoted other
regulars from Pulse who said they
had seen Mateen there a number
of times.
“Sometimes he would go over in
the corner and sit and drink by
himself, and other times he would
get so drunk he was loud and belligerent,” said Ty Smith, who
remembered seeing Mateen inside
at least a dozen times.
On Monday night, just about a
mile from Pulse in downtown
Orlando, thousands gathered for a
vigil to support the victims and
survivors. The names of the dead
were read aloud. It was held on the
lawn of Orlando’s main performing
arts venue, where mourners created a makeshift memorial of flowers,
candles and notes for the victims.
Many said they felt compelled to
attend because of the role Pulse
played in their lives.
“It was a place that a young 20year-old who wasn’t openly gay felt
safe for the first time,” said
Cathleen Daus, now 36, who
worked at Pulse in her 20s. “Pulse

Making no promises, Obama
struggles for solution on violence
WASHINGTON (AP) — Was it
homegrown terrorism, bigotry or
random gun violence?
Americans searching for
answers after the Orlando
shootings are finding no easy
solutions from President Barack
Obama, who is conceding that a
deadly mix of extremism and
easy gun access have made
future tragedies almost a foregone conclusion.
In the days after the deadliest
shooting in modern U.S. history,
Obama has offered no simple
prescriptions or promises for
new action — even as the candidates vying for his job put forward aggressive plans of their
own. Instead, the president has
suggested the root causes
behind a “disturbed” man’s
actions are difficult to determine
and may be less important than
a sort of “soul searching” about
what to do about it.
“We know that at some point
there are going to be, out of 300
million, there are going to be
some individuals who find for
whatever reason that kind of
horrible propaganda enticing,”
Obama said Monday. “And if that
happens, and that person can
get a weapon, that’s a problem.”
The comments were Obama’s
most direct acknowledgment yet
that the attacks like the one in
Orlando may be a new fixture of
American life — the sort of
observation that could only be
delivered by a second-term president with seven months left in
office. Obama’s two-prong message, delivered with weary resignation to reporters, was unlikely
to quell the fears of those hoping
such attacks will never happen
again.
But the president has seemed
to embrace his end-of-term role.
He’s also mindful that his
administration has overseen the
dawn of a new era of domestic
attacks and it is incumbent to
try to explain the forces at play.
The White House began pointing in various directions on
Monday, defending the administration at each turn while
announcing Obama would travel
to Orlando on Thursday to
“stand in solidarity with the
community.”
There appeared to be no missteps at the FBI, which had
interviewed presumed shooter
Omar Mateen in the past,
Obama said. Although Mateen

Rising premiums rattle consumers paying their own way
WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions
of people who pay the full cost of
their health insurance will face the
sting of rising premiums next year,
with no financial help from government subsidies.
Renewal notices bearing the
bad news will go out this fall, just
as the presidential election is in
the homestretch.
“I don’t know if I could swallow
another 30 or 40 percent without
severely cutting into other things
I’m trying to do, like retirement
savings or reducing debt,” said
Bob Byrnes, of Blaine, Minnesota,
a Twin Cities suburb. His monthly
premium of $524 is already about
50 percent more than he was paying in 2015, and he has a higher
deductible.
President Barack Obama’s
health law provides income-based
subsidies for consumers who buy
individual
policies
on
HealthCare.gov and state insurance markets. About 10 million
people get assistance, helping
reduce the uninsured rate to a
historically low 9 percent.
But there’s no subsidy for those
making more than $47,520 for an
individual and $97,200 for a family of four — cutoffs that represent
four times the federal poverty
level. Also, subsidies are not available for consumers at any income
level who purchase outside of
HealthCare.gov or a state marketplace. Those who remain uninsured risk fines.
Premiums are expected to climb
next year in many areas because
major insurers have taken significant financial losses under the
health law. Enrollment has been
lower than anticipated, new customers were sicker than expected
and a government system to stabilize the markets had problems.
“People receiving subsidies can
protect themselves from premium
increases, but others who buy
their own coverage don’t have that
option,” said Larry Levitt, who
tracks the health law for the nonpartisan
Kaiser
Family
Foundation. He estimated 5 million to 7 million consumers
nationally may be paying full
freight.
Byrnes, a manager for a medical
courier service, says he supports
the law’s goal of expanded coverage, but he hasn’t found his policy
particularly affordable.
In the small East Texas city of
Lufkin, Kirk Smith buys his policy
from the only insurer available,
which also happens to be the
state’s largest.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas
is seeking an average premium
increase of nearly 60 percent for
2017, and Smith says his monthly
bill of about $350 is already about
as much as a car payment.
Moreover, he’s had to drive to a
neighboring county for medical
care because he couldn’t get an
appointment close to home.
“I’ve got a problem when you
can’t see somebody in the county,
and they want an increase?” said
Smith, who works for a contractor
installing telecommunications
equipment. He said the government should subsidize everyone in
rural communities with no insurer
competition.
Michelle Scarola of Queens, a
borough of New York City, said she
has received notice that her 2017

premiums will be going up in a
range of 8 percent to 25 percent.
Scarola, who’s in the midst of a
career transition from advertising
to interior design, isn’t happy that
her insurer dropped the hospital
network she’s interested in.
“For people like me who are in
the middle, there is very limited
choice, and now that limited
choice is going to get more expensive,” she said.
Insurance broker Liz Gallops in
Raleigh, North Carolina, says she
tries to let customers vent about
large increases. Some see insurance bills that surpass their mortgage payments. The state’s biggest
insurer is proposing average
increases of nearly 19 percent.
“I’ve had people yell on the
phone,” she said. “I’ve had people
curse.”
Back in 2010, the Obama
administration used public anger
about premium increases as leverage to win passage of the health
law. It now says worries about
next year’s premiums are premature because final rates have not
been approved. Officials say people who don’t receive subsidies
still have options.
For example, some people buying directly from an insurer might
find that they qualify for subsidies
if they go through HealthCare.gov.
Those who make too much for a
subsidy still can shop for lower
premiums. Under the health law,
insurers have to accept consumers with health problems.
People are no longer locked into a
plan indefinitely.
Another wrinkle is that people
who pay their own premiums may
be able to later deduct the cost on
their income taxes. But the rules
are complex, and it’s not the same
as getting an upfront subsidy.
It may seem counterintuitive
that premium increases for health
law policies also hit people who get
no financial assistance. It’s happening because the law created
one big insurance pool in each
state for consumers buying individual coverage, whether or not
they go through markets such as
HealthCare.gov.
Many people respond to premium hikes by switching to skimpier
coverage, yet that leads to bigger
medical bills if they need treatment. Some insurance brokers
encourage customers to get plans
linked to a health savings account.
But rising premiums can cut into
how much people stash away.

Fame once he leaves office.
The concept of setting aside a
place of honor for former office
holders grew out of a visit by
Gilley to another law enforcement agency where he viewed a
similar display.
One account reads, "He wasted no time getting his ideas
underway, using the county’s
historical records to compile a
list of sheriffs. Other sources,
including publications, historical records, and descendents,
added pictures of many of these
legendary lawmen.”
Sheriff’s Office personnel who
helped with research quickly
learned the earliest sheriffs did
not like to be photographed.
That compounded efforts to
locate photographs of the county’s earliest lawmen.

In a January, 2016, issue of
the Roark-Conner Family News
publication, a longtime official of
the organization printed an article about the “Neglected
Cemetery.”
The story says Gene F.
Johnson of Harrison and Connie
Perrin of Chattanooga located the
cemetery after extensive “private
research and geographical investigations.”
The highlight of the discovery
was the headstone for A.A.
Clingan, who was closely associated with the Roark and Blythe
families in early settlement of the
“Ocoee District.”
The cemetery contains the
graves of 11 members of the
Clingan family, plus three graves
for three infants of the Spriggs
family.
Research shows Clingan
homesteaded in the Ocoee
District, and was hugely involved
in the formation of Bradley
County in the 1830s.
He was born Feb. 20, 1801, in
Hawkins County, the son of
Edward and Jeanette Clingan.
He met and married Martha
“Patsy” Blythe in 1828.
They started their family in
Sale Creek, but moved to a log
cabin just north of present-day
Cleveland in 1834 — in the
Candy’s Creek community.
According to historical documents, the family later constructed a large home place a half mile
east of Candy’s Creek, along
“I was in the process
of giving up hope, when
I stopped and asked a
woman outside her
house if she knew
anything about the
cemetery. She pointed to
her side yard, and said,
‘There it is.’”
— Gene F. Johnson
Candy’s Creek Ridge.
The home was a two-story,
three-chimney structure with
twice as many fireplaces, and a
long front porch.
The Clingans had 16 children,
with three buried in the recently
discovered family cemetery with
their parents. A.A. Clingan died
on Feb. 1, 1864, and his wife followed on Aug. 6, 1868.
There was an intermingling of
the Clingan family with the
Blythe and Roark families
through the early years. There
were also several marriages
involving Cherokee heritage.
Many from the white families
cast their lot with the Cherokees
at the time, many raising their
children in the Cherokee
Culture.
Martha Clingan’s Blythe family
had earlier founded Blythe Ferry
on the south side of the
Tennessee River, and had dedicated ties to the Cherokee. Many
moved west with the Cherokee.
Martha Clingan remained in
Cleveland with her husband,

Gary Davis confirmed, there may
potentially be an upgrade to the
tower on Johnson Road.
He added the developer for the
subdivision there had plans to
put several homes there and
expressed concerns a cell tower
would make it difficult to sell
homes located adjacent to the
property.
The developer had placed a
winning bid for the property of
less than $860.
Benton spoke again Monday,
asking that the move to sell the
property be reconsidered once
again.
“I’m concerned about this
asset Bradley County had in its
possession, and I came up here
to talk to you about this on May
2 [to argue] that the county
should retain this asset that was
set aside for a cell tower in the
1990s for future use by the
Bradley County EMA, and this
Commission voted unanimously
to do so,” Benton said.

Phillips ruled last week the
“Jane Doe” associated with the

The “Jane Doe” co-plaintiff in
the lawsuit has apparently been
identified already in previous
Cleveland Daily Banner articles
as Bradley County resident Lois
Crawford.
The apparent identification
came about when the plaintiffs’
attorney erred in posting a county phone log requested by the
Banner. The phone log apparently showed the identity of “Jane

prideful of her Cherokee ancestry.
A.A. Clingan became connected with the Roark family through
a niece, Jane, who was taken in
by Joseph and Juda Ann Roark
after her parents had died within
a few weeks of each other in
1830.
This was when Clingan and his
wife were in a log cabin with eight
kids of their own. He asked the
Roarks to consider taking in his
niece, after he had assumed
guardianship of her and four siblings.
The Roarks raised her as one
of their own, although Juda was
only 17 when Jane’s parents had
died.
Through this family arrangement, Clingan remained close to
the Roarks through the remainder of his life, and during his
terms as sheriff.
Johnson, who located the old
Clingan cemetery in 2014, has
related his experience to RoarkConner family members.
“I was in the process of giving
up hope, when I stopped and
asked a woman outside her
house if she knew anything
about the cemetery,” Johnson
said. “She pointed to her side
yard, and said, ‘There it is.’”
Since that time, the ancient
cemetery has been reclaimed and
cleared. The dominating feature
is the tall A.A. Clingan marker,
surrounded by the smaller markers designating the resting place
of other members of the 19th
Century family.

Senate to vote on defense bill
as White House warns of veto
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate is scheduled to vote
Tuesday on a $602 billion
defense policy bill that the White
House has said President Barack
Obama will veto over numerous
objections, including a prohibition on shuttering the prison at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In addition to the ban on closing Guantanamo, the White
House is opposed to provisions
that would limit the size of the
president’s National Security
Council staff and block a new
round of military base closings.
The bill must be reconciled
with a version the House passed
earlier this year.
Debate over potential amendments to the Senate legislation
came to a halt late last week due
to procedural disputes. The gridlock has left in doubt the future
of a program that allows Afghan
civilians in danger of being
harmed or killed by the Taliban
to resettle in the United States.
A measure that would have
stripped a provision from the bill
that compels young women to
register for a potential military
draft also was sidelined. The
requirement has roiled social
conservatives, who fear the mandate is another step toward blurring gender lines.
The
National
Defense
Authorization Act is an annual
piece of legislation that often
serves as a vehicle for a broad
array of subjects, not all of which
are specific to the Defense
Department. More than 600
amendments were filed to this
year’s bill. But only a handful
have been considered because of
what a senior lawmaker lamentthere is some concern by ed as a breakdown in the way the

Colleges, one of the largest forprofit college companies.
“A college degree remains one
of the best investments anyone
can make in his or her future,”
Education Secretary John B.
King Jr. said on a call with
reporters. “But that’s only true if
it’s a meaningful degree that
helps you land a better job, not
if it’s a worthless piece of paper
that’s an artifact of deception
rather than proof of accomplishment.”
Undersecretary Ted Mitchell

Judge Christopher H. Steger with a new robust federal stan-
Senate is supposed to operate.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, said Friday
he’d become so frustrated that he
would consider supporting
changes to the Senate’s rules so
that “one individual out of 100
can’t bring everything to a
screeching halt.”
The difficulty started last week
when Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah,
demanded a vote on his measure
that would prevent the government from detaining indefinitely
U.S. citizens apprehended on
American soil for being suspected of supporting a terrorist
group.
Lee refused to allow a vote on
two other amendments, including one to extend and expand a
program that gives visas to
Afghans who defied the Taliban
and sided with the American-led
coalition, unless senators agreed
to a vote on his.
But Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C., a retired Air Force lawyer,
objected to Lee’s amendment. He
said it could lead to terrorists
being treated as criminals
instead of enemy combatants.
That would prevent U.S. intelligence officials from getting critical information because the suspects’ attorneys likely wouldn’t
allow them to be interviewed.
The resulting stalemate effectively shut down debate on all
amendments, leading McCain to
warn of life-or-death consequences if the Senate failed to
take up the Afghan visa program.
“By not allowing them to come
to this country, they’re going to
die,” McCain said.
The Afghans worked for the
coalition as interpreters, fire-
fighters and construction laborers. Without the option to leave
Afghanistan, they and their families risk being harmed or killed
by militants, the top American
commander in Afghanistan has
warned.
An amendment authored by
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.,
would extend the so-called special immigrant visa program
through 2017 and authorize an
additional 2,500 visas for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 to
meet the growing demand.
In the House version of the
defense bill, lawmakers refused
to provide additional visas. The
House extended the program for
a year, but also narrowly restricted eligibility to Afghans whose
jobs took them outside of a military base or secured facility.
The measure to expand the
draft to women has sparked disagreement.
Women have never been
required to register and have
never been part of a large-scale
draft. But McCain’s committee
said any justification for barring
them was erased last year, when
the Pentagon lifted all genderbased restrictions on front-line
combat units.
But Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb.,
wants to replace the provision
with a study of whether a draft is
even necessary. Sasse’s amendment also would do away with
the Selective Service in three
years unless a compelling case is
made to preserve the draft.
“Why are we now fighting
about drafting our sisters, our
mothers, and our daughters
into a draft that no one anywhere is telling us they need?”
Sasse said.
Rule aims to protect students
dard that will allow easy use by
students.”
The proposal would streamline debt relief for groups of students if they all experienced the
same misconduct by a school,
such as instances of wide misrepresentation — meaning they
all wouldn’t have to file individual applications for loan forgiveness.
The new provisions also would
bar schools from forbidding students from class-action lawsuits
as part of enrollment agreements, something Corinthian
had done.
A whistleblower raised concerns about Corinthian in early
2011, alleging that employees of
the for-profit chain fabricated
employers to make it appear as
though unemployed graduates
had secured good jobs in their
careers of study. California’s
attorney general filed a lawsuit
in 2013, alleging rampant lies to
students about job placement.
Corinthian filed for bankruptcy
protection last year, closing
schools and leaving thousands
of students with hefty debt and
frustrated their efforts to earn
degrees.
