original dog of war
fought bravely on
the Western Front — then
helped the nation forget the
Great War's terrible human
toll.
1. A Dog Has His Day
On July 6, 1921, a curious
gathering took place at the
State, War, and Navy Building on Pennsylvania Avenue
in Washington. The occasion
was a ceremony honoring veterans of the 102nd Infantry of
the American Expeditionary
Forces' 26th "Yankee" Division, who had seen action in
France during the Great War.
The hall was packed with dozens of members of the 102nd
— field clerks, infantrymen,
generals — but one soldier
in particular commanded
the spotlight. The attention
seemed to bother him; The
New York Times reported that
the soldier was "a trifle gun
shy, and showed some symptoms of nervous excitement."
When photographers snapped
his picture, he flinched.

Smithsonian National Museum of America History/ Slate.)
The ceremony was presided
over by Gen. John J. Pershing,
commander of the American
forces in Europe during the
war. Pershing made a short
speech, noting the soldier's
"heroism of highest caliber"
and "bravery under fire." The
general solemnly lifted an engraved solid gold medal from
its case and pinned it to the
hero's uniform. In response,
the Times reported, the solider
"licked his chops and wagged
his diminutive tail." Sergeant
Stubby, a short brindle bull
terrier mutt, was officially a
decorated hero of World War
I. The award was not a formal
U.S. military commendation,
but it symbolically confirmed
Stubby, who'd also earned
one wound stripe and three
service stripes, as the greatest
war dog in the nation's history.

n May 29th the Bath Rotary
Club saw its Bath Beautification Project come to fruition
when the twenty-three wrought iron
hanging baskets, purchased by the
local club last year for the light poles
along Liberty Street, were filled with
colorful flowers.
The floral arrangements in both the
baskets and barrels throughout the
downtown area were done by TNT
Greenhouses in Bradford. Bath Rotarians helped hang the baskets and
position the barrels that day with the
assistance of personnel from the Bath
Village Department of Public Works.
Funding for the flowers was provided
by the Bath Rotary Club and the Bath
Beautification Trust. In addition,
flower beds were planted in front of
the Bath Village Hall by MaryAnn
Robinson and Rhonda Billmeyer, two
members of the Bath Village Watering Team
In April, the local Rotary Club held
a Stearns’ Chicken Barbeque to fund
this project and would like to thank
those who purchased tickets for this
fundraiser.
Becky Stranges, Bath Rotarian, remarked, “Flowers say to residents
and visitors that people care about
the community. While the flowers enhance the appearance of historic Liberty Street and are an asset

Liberty Street. Left to right are Rotarians John Stranges, John Gould and Becky Stranges. (Photo by Al

to businesses along the street, the
beautiful blooms are also enjoyed by
everyone in the Village of Bath. The
flowers are maintained by the village
watering team, a group of volunteers
who water and care for the baskets
and barrels. Each team takes care of
the flowers for one week of the summer.” Stranges, who is in charge of organizing this volunteer group, urges
anyone interested in helping with the
project to contact her at bstranges@
gmail.com.
Rotary Clubs exist to improve communities at home and abroad through
a wide array of humanitarian, intercultural, and educational activities.
The planning and working together
to accomplish goals is the mainstay
of Rotary; every member’s help is
needed in some way to realize these
goals. Each Rotarian is encourage
to participate in at least three of the
local club’s activities or projects each
year. Indeed, Rotary is a service club:
its business is mankind, and its product is service. The best reason for
becoming a Rotarian is the chance
to do something for somebody else
while experiencing self-fulfillment
and friendship in the process. The local Rotarians will feel great pride and
joy as residents and visitors enjoy the
flower baskets and barrels throughout
the summer and into the fall. ■

Honoring My Dad on Father’s Day
By Steve Barnhoorn
Special to The New York Eagle
News
O
n this Father's Day, I remember my father Bart J. Barnhoorn (1930-1996) with deep
appreciation and admiration.
He grew up in Holland in World
War II during the Nazi occupation.
My late father once told our family
the story how the Barnhoorn family
outsmarted the Nazis under frightening conditions.
In December 1944, the Nazis conducted razzias in the town where
Dad’s family lived. SS troops searched
homes, rounding up teenage boys to
send to labor concentration camps in
Germany. For several days, my Dad
and my Uncle Simon hid underneath
the floor in the house, with steel lids
over their heads. If the Nazis suspected they were misled, they had orders
to shoot through the floors. Thankfully, no family member was harmed.
After the war, my father went to
trade school to learn how to repair
electric motors. In order to realize his
dream to come to America, he knew
he had to have a good skill to get a
Steve Barnhoorn's late father, Bart J. Barnhoorn, on the shore of Honeoye Lake with dog Peppy in the
spring of 1961. The photo taken by Steve's mother Rebecca, when the family lived in the Times-Union
Tract (now Honeoye Lake Park) near the lake.
good job. After arriving in America
on February 28, 1957, when my Dad
was only 26 and with no family to fall
back on here, he took night classes at
a high school in Rochester to learn
English.
The first job my Dad landed was a
machine operator. Not long after that,
he got a job at the General Motors
Delco Products Division in Rochester
where he worked for 30 years.
My fondest childhood memory of
my father was when I was 3 years old.
I had a stuffed Yogi Bear that I literally loved to death. When Christmas
1965 rolled around, Dad was determined to replace my worn out bear.
He made several shopping trips to
find my favorite bear, with no luck.
He tried one last store and there it
was.
On Christmas morning, I opened
one of my presents and there was my
new Yogi Bear. I didn't care about any
other presents after that. My father
was so touched by my attachment to
the new bear that he had a tear in his
eye.
While working at Delco, with a
family of five kids, my father needed
more money, and decided to become
a local trash hauler, when we lived in
the Times-Union tract on Honeoye
Lake. I was 8 years old when Dad got
his trash route.
For the next 7 years, on and off, I
would go with my father on his route.
Most of his customers lived on the
lake. I loved going and spending time
with him, and helping out as much as
I could. I am sure it took a lot of patience on my Dad's part but he always
made me feel special.
Working with my father is one of my
warmest recollections. Through him,
I learned to appreciate my neighbors
and the people in my hometown. He
taught me to respect other people and
to respect myself.
By sharing these memories, I wanted to honor my Dad this year to all
who didn't get the chance to know
him. He was kind, gentle, loving father, with a strong work ethic and
quiet strength. And I owe a lot of who
I am today to him.

member of the Richmond Town Board.

The World
Coal-fired Plant in Kosovo
Tests World Bank Clean-Air Pledge
By Sandrine Rastello
Bloomberg News
T
he smokestacks at Kosovo's
oldest power station tower
over decaying buildings and
a tangle of rusty pipes, polluting the
Balkan countryside and posing the
first test of the World Bank's pledge to
avoid coal.
The half-century-old plant near
the capital, Pristina, produces a third
of the nation's electricity by burning
lignite, a type of coal that emits more
greenhouse gases than any other fossil fuel and is blamed for hundreds of
premature deaths a year in Kosovo.
Chronic power outages hobble the
country's $7 billion economy, the
poorest in Europe after Moldova.
Kosovo's government is asking the
World Bank to help finance a new
plant that would provide a reliable
power supply while still tapping the
nation's lignite reserves, the world's
fifth largest. The proposal is forcing
the lender and its biggest shareholder, the U.S., to make an exception in
their clean-energy commitments and
concede that burning coal can be the
fastest route out of poverty.
"We're going to avoid coal except in
the most exceptional circumstances,
and in this case, it is one of the exceptional circumstances," World Bank
President Jim Yong Kim said in a May
30 interview. "It's a dilemma, not just
as the World Bank -- it's a dilemma all
over the world."
Boosting growth and attracting
foreign investment while agreeing to
close the old plant means the country
of more than 1.8 million people needs
new sources of electricity. The debate
with environmentalists is whether
that can be achieved without coal,
an abundant resource that's been a
source of pride in the former province of Yugoslavia.
"All these years, we have not been
able to think about anything else,"
said Visar Azemi, who coordinates
Kosid, a coalition of nonprofit organizations, media and research institutes
that oppose a new plant, in an interview in Pristina. "To talk to people
about shifting this mindset to renewables, to something else besides coal,
was not an easy task to do."
Containing less energy and more
carbon, lignite is cheaper than hard
coal and has seen a recent revival
in Europe as policymakers allowed
mines to be expanded to drive down
power prices.

600-megawatt plant that would be fed

coal from nearby state-owned mines
-- is estimated by the government to
cost less than 1 billion euros ($1.4 billion). It would be built with private
funds and sit next to Kosovo's second
power plant, which dates back to the
1980s and needs upgrades.
U.S. and European companies are
lining up to bid on the project. New
York-based ContourGlobal LP and
Sithe Global Power LLC, which is
owned by funds managed by Blackstone Group LP, were pre-approved
as bidders, along with Turkish company Park Holding AS, according to
Economic Development Minister
Fadil Ismajli. Public Power Corp SA,
Greece's largest electricity company,
is partnering with Sithe Global, he
said in an interview earlier this year.
To lure investors and their financiers spooked by political or credit
risks, the World Bank would offer
about $60 million in loan guarantees
that would kick in if the government
failed to meet obligations such as
supplying coal or purchasing electricity. Such guarantees ensure the bank
gets involved early on in disputes and
helps avoid such crises.
Years without investment have curtailed the two plants' capacity, making
outages part of daily life in Kosovo
and forcing the state-owned utility
to import more expensive electricity.
More than a third of the power available is lost during transmission and
distribution or is never billed.
On winter nights, the smell and
haze from wood-burning stoves
waft through the streets of Pristina,
a city of more than 200,000 inhabitants where Ottoman-era monuments
sit beside concrete-block tenements
built during the Cold War.
The country has "obsolete technologies which are highly polluting
and are not sufficient to meet even
the basic demands for growth and
development of the economy," Ellen
Goldstein, the World Bank's country director for Southeast Europe,
Europe and Central Asia, said in a
phone interview.
The
Washington-based
bank
looked at all options before concluding that the best way to meet current and future demand is to build a
new, more efficient coal-fired plant
and complement it with renewable
sources, which the government has
pledged to expand, Goldstein said.
The bank also plans to fund efforts to
insulate government buildings.
For Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008 and is
not recognized by Russia or China,
coal also means security of supply,
Ismajli said in an e-mail.
Russia's annexation of Crimea earlier this year and the instability engulfing Ukraine "demonstrate the
importance of developing indigenous
resources," he said. "Kosovo has an
abundance of high-quality lignite that
is cheap and easy to extract."
Kosid and its international allies,
which include the U.S.- based environmental group Sierra Club, say a
new lignite-fired plant is avoidable.
"There are better, cheaper, smarter
options, which also happen to be
lower emitting," said Bruce Buckheit, a former official at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency who
worked as a consultant on Kosovo for
the Sierra Club. Among the potential
sources of energy is natural gas from
Azerbaijan, he said.
Opponents of the plant also promote a renewable-only proposal
crafted by Daniel Kammen, who
heads the Renewable and Appropriate
Energy Laboratory at the University
of California at Berkeley, and spent
a year advising the World Bank on
the issues. His low-carbon scenario
uses more optimistic assumptions for
wind-, solar- and biomass-generated
power than the bank.
Kosid, which has financial backing
from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund,
has campaigned against the government plan, citing the bank's own estimates that air pollution causes more
than 800 premature deaths in Kosovo
each year.
"The high cost of building a new
coal plant will go into your energy
bills," Kosid says in an animated television advertisement released last
month in Kosovo. "And the healthcare treatment for thousands that will
fall sick from the pollution, that's also
an economic cost of coal."
The goal for the activists is ultimately to dissuade the bank from
supporting the project. The bank has
become a bigger advocate for clean
energy development during two years
under Kim, a physician and anthropologist by training.
"We just cannot tell them that they
can't have energy because we can't
invest in coal," Kim said in the interview. "We're going to at least make
this coal-power plant the cleanest it
could possibly be."
Last year, the lender said it would
stop financing coal projects except in
rare cases "where there are no feasible
alternatives available to meet basic
energy needs and other sources of financing are absent."
Kosovo's future with coal is "a test
of the ambiguity they've left on the
table," said Scott Morris, a former
deputy assistant secretary for development finance and debt at the U.S.
Treasury Department. "It's a dilemma
for the bank in that there's no doubt
that any coal project has a climate impact."
The lender last financed a coal-fired
plant four years ago, in South Africa.
While the project was approved, several countries, including the U.S., abstained from the board vote.
This time, the bank's largest member-nation appears more supportive,
with officials from the U.S. Agency
for International Development recommending the project in a September report.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said
during a May 8 congressional hearing that "for the poorest countries, we
continue to have an exception for coal
facilities."
Treasury Department spokeswoman Holly Shulman said the U.S. won't
make a final decision until the project
is brought to the bank's board, which
has yet to schedule a review.
The timing is less than ideal for
President Barack Obama as he makes
a case for acting on climate change.
The EPA on June 2 proposed cuts in
greenhouse-gas emissions from the
nation's power plants by an average of
30 percent from 2005 levels, the boldest single step the U.S. has taken to
fight global warming. The move drew
immediate Republican opposition.
The U.S. and Kosovo have a close
relationship that dates to the war of
1998-99, when the U.S. pushed the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
to conduct air strikes to end an ethnic
conflict between Serbs and Kosovar
Albanians.
In Pristina, a statue of Bill Clinton
welcomes visitors driving from the
airport on a boulevard that bears the
former U.S. president's name. It intersects with a street named for George
W. Bush, Clinton's successor, who
supported the country's independence.
Kosovo's government, which will
retain ownership of the mine supplying the proposed plant, in April asked
the companies to start the bidding,
the economic ministry said in an email.
The older of the two main plants
may remain open through 2021 or
2022, until a new one is operating,
said Ismajli, the economic development minister.

Women with Pre-Cancer Tumors Urged
to Reconsider Surgery
By Michelle Fay Cortez and
Shannon Pettypiece
Bloomberg News
J
ackie Fox and Peggy MacDonald
share a diagnosis. Both were told
by doctors they had a cluster of
abnormal cells in one of their breasts
that may turn into cancer. Each reacted in vastly different ways to their
bad news.
Fox, 57, diagnosed five years ago,
had her breast removed. MacDonald,
49, got her news last year. She opted
against surgery. Their decisions were
highly personal, driven by unique
circumstances and long-held feelings about cancer, the women said in
separate interviews. Both believe they
made the right decision.
"Some people can bash a woman's
choices," said Fox, of Omaha, Neb.
"They can tell you it isn't likely that
anything is going to happen, but they
can't tell you you're not going to live
in fear."
That wasn't the issue for MacDonald, of Portland, Ore. After her
diagnosis for the same condition —
ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS —
McDonald felt as if her doctors put
her on a "cancer conveyor belt" that
moved too quickly: a mammogram,
a biopsy, and then a breast surgeon
discussing the intricacies of surgery.
How to slow down and, when necessary, stop that process is at the core
of a report released last year by a National Cancer Institute panel of physicians.
The report has kicked off a debate on how best to make use of the
surge of early warnings unleashed
from powerful new tests for breast,
prostate and other forms of cancer.
Journal of the American
Medical Association.
What's more, while
science has developed
increasingly sensitive
tests to find abnormal
cells, there still remains
no clear way to determine when or if the
cells will become cancerous, said Jennifer
Litton, an oncologist at
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
That's left doctors and

more valuable, she said.
MacDonald was diagnosed in
March. Two doctors said her only
options were to either remove the abnormal tissue and have radiation or
undergo a mastectomy. Neither suggested simply monitoring the cells for

their growth.
"I was starting to have all these little
red flags," she said. "My instinct was

As with MacDonald, no one discussed watchful waiting with Fox,
who recalled her doctor telling her
that the condition wasn't life-threatening, then quickly speaking of a
mastectomy. Her growth was described to her as not "real cancer" or
"stage zero" cancer.
"I was thinking, wait a minute, why
are we talking about mastectomies?"
recalled Fox, who works for an engineering company. "I kept thinking,
why are we looking at this option?"

for something that doesn't sound so

While she was waiting for the results from a genetic test that would
tell her if she was predisposed to cancer, her sister told her about Laura Esserman, a doctor at the Carol Franc

and the lead author of the journal

Under Esserman's care, MacDonald

had a 50 percent chance of developing

She doesn't regret her decision to
have a mastectomy. She has since
written a book on DCIS, "From Zero

Women Veterans
React Differently
to TBI
Treatment of veterans with Traumatic Brain
Injury has been difficult because of the many
symptoms that the illness presents. Now add
another barrier ... there are differences in
symptoms between men and women.
Women veterans with TBI suffer from chronic pain, joblessness, PTSD, homelessness and
depression in greater numbers than male veterans. They are more likely to suffer from anxiety, neurological problems and sleep disorders.
Additionally, women veterans are more likely
to suffer from multiple symptoms. If PTSD is
part of the package, women likely take longer
to heal.
Odette Harris, associate professor of neurosurgery at the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs Health
Care System) studied the effects of TBI on
women veterans. She began with the fact that
women veterans are more likely to be single
parents and more likely to suffer from harassment and assault related to gender, both of
which add to stress of TBI.
York Times describes how Conroy
eluded the ship guards by concealing
Stubby in his Army-issue greatcoat.
He then spirited the dog down to the
hold and hid him in the ship's coal
bin.
At some point during the turbulent Atlantic crossing, Stubby was
found out. Here the lore of Stubby,
as reported by various newspapers,
takes on a suspiciously cutesy cast:
The story goes that the dog charmed
his way into the good graces of the
officers who discovered him by lifting his right paw in a salute. Out of
hiding and free to roam the freighter,
Stubby proved popular with the crew.
A machinist onboard fashioned Stubby his own set of metal "dog tags." By
the time the troops disembarked in
the port of Saint-Nazaire on France's
western coast, Stubby was the 102nd
Infantry's unofficial mascot.
3. Dogs in the Trenches
The story of dogs in warfare is an
old one, stretching back to antiquity.
Persians, Greeks, Assyrians, and Babylonians all used dogs in battle. Dogs
were part of Attila the Hun's forces in
his fifth-century European conquests.
In the Middle Ages, knights outfitted
dogs with canine armor; Napoleon
used trained dogs as sentinels in the
French campaign in Egypt.
Many of the countries involved in
World War I had war dog training
schools in place prior to the conflict.
France, Britain, Belgium, Germany,
and Russia all recognized the value
of trained dogs on the battlefield. The
conventional wisdom favored pedigreed dogs: Jack Russell terriers for
chasing rats out of trenches; German
shepherds, Chiens de Brie, and Alsatian sheep dogs for sentry duty. Airedale terriers were considered good
Her research concluded that women veterans
with TBI are:
--Four times more likely than male veterans
to have substance-abuse problems.
--Seven times more likely to be homeless, and
2.7 times more likely to be unemployed.
--30 percent more likely to also have PTSD.
(The good news here is that women are more
likely to ask for help and respond to treatment
as well as men, if not better.)
Harris produced video narratives of women
veterans describing their conditions in the
hope that fresh approaches to treatment will
come out of the new paradigm: men and women
who have TBI need different care because they
have different symptoms.

Dogs were also a key part of the Red

called sanitary dogs, or Sanitätshunde

Keep Your Cool
Everyone needs to take steps to stay safe
in hot weather, but seniors especially need to
be careful. Our internal "temperature gauge"
doesn't work the way it used to, and becoming
overheated can sneak up on us, with dehydration right on its heels.
Here are a few ways to stay cool in
summer:
• If you have air conditioning, use it. Keep
an eye on the heat index (temperature plus
humidity) on the weather news. The higher the
humidity, the less we're able to sweat and let air
evaporation cool us.
• Go somewhere cool in the middle of the day,
such as the library or a nearby coffee shop that
has air conditioning. Find out from your senior
center if there are cooling centers in your area
where you can go for a few hours.
• Drink plenty of water. Some of our drugs
can be dehydrating; ask your doctor if your prescriptions mean you should drink more water.
Ask him how much liquid you should drink during hot weather, especially if your intake is limited because of water retention. Remember that
drinks with caffeine (such as tea or coffee) can
be dehydrating, as well as alcoholic beverages
or sugary drinks like sodas.
• Dress in lightweight clothing. Wear a hat if
you go outside.
• Put a cool, damp washcloth on pulse points,
like wrist and neck. Take a cool shower.
• Sign up with a seniors phone service that
will check on you, or arrange with friends
and family to stay in close contact during hot
weather.
• Keep an eye on the symptoms of heat exhaustion: clammy skin, fainting, nausea, muscle cramps and weakness. Call for help if you
experience any of these, because they can lead
to heat stroke if not taken care of.

Opponents of Health Law Turn to Nonprofits to Avoid Regulated Insurance Plans
By Sandhya Somashekhar
The New York Eagle News/ The
Washington Post
S
usan Tucker is one of millions
of Americans who dislike the
health law and want nothing to
do with it. But the 54-year-old Venice,
Florida, homemaker took her opposition a step further: She opted out.
Tucker dropped the private health
plan she had carried for more than a
decade and joined Christian Healthcare Ministries, a faith-based nonprofit in which members pool their
money to pay for one another's medical needs — and promise to adhere
to biblical values, such as attending
church and abstaining from sex outside of marriage.
"When all this came up with the
ACA, I just realized, I don't want to
be a part of any of this," said Tucker,
who views the Affordable Care Act
as the government meddling in her
personal health care. The Christian
Healthcare program is not as comprehensive as insurance — she has to pay
for her preventive care, for example
— but the monthly payment of $150
can't be beat, she said.
Tucker is part of a small but growing group of Americans whose opposition to the Affordable Care Act
is spurring them to seek out alternatives, choosing once-fringe methods
to pay for their medical care in an
have to pay the penalty
for not carrying adequate coverage. In other
cases, the options are
not sanctioned by the
law, leaving people on
the hook to pay the fine.
But some critics of the
law say that even with
the penalty, the alternatives are worth it.
Advocates and healthpolicy experts say there
are risks in addition to
the penalty. The programs typically do not
carry the law's consumer protections, such as a
ban on insurers refusing
to cover pre-existing

specific diseases, such as cancer.
Critics of the health-care law counIn some cases, such as Tucker's, the
options are permitted by the health ter that these options can be a good
law; the people who sign up don't deal for consumers — even if they
have to pay the penalty. Because
many of the plans do not include
mental health or maternity coverage,
they can be cheaper than the policies
offered by the new online marketplaces. And since the plans often do not
create networks of doctors, patients
are free to choose the physicians they
want.
There is a "parallel free market that
exists alongside the conventional
market" for health insurance, said
Sean Parnell, a public policy consultant who has become a guide for the
opt-out crowd with his blog and book
called "The Self-Pay Patient." "What I
tell people is, there are alternatives."
The Affordable Care Act was intended in part to standardize individual policies to ensure that people
were buying comprehensive coverage
— and not plans that, for example, refused to cover unexpected pregnancies. The law established categories
of medical care that must be covered,
including contraception. But those
requirements have sparked a backlash
among people who oppose the idea of
paying for others' birth control and
those who consider the requirements
onerous and costly.
One alternative has already been
swatted down by the Obama administration. "Fixed-benefit" plans
give beneficiaries a predetermined
amount for injuries and illnesses —
for instance, $1,000 a day for a hospital stay or $30 for a doctor visit. But
those amounts could leave patients
on the hook for potentially thousands
of dollars if the actual costs exceed
those payments.
Some companies had promoted
these plans, which are typically used
as an extra layer of coverage on top of
standard health insurance, as a substitute for traditional insurance. Last
month, federal health officials banned
the sale of most such plans as standalone policies beginning in January
2015.
Some other alternatives, however,
are tolerated or even encouraged by
the health-care law — to promote
innovation or religious freedom, or
because it was not expected that large
numbers of people would enroll.
People who sign up for certain
health-care ministries are exempt
from the law's penalty for people who
lack insurance. Direct primary-care
clinics, which provide around-theclock access to doctors for a monthly
fee, can apply to the federal government on a case-by-case basis to be
considered acceptable coverage under the law.
There are short-term plans that can
be purchased for part of a year and
are often cheaper than the policies
sold via the online marketplaces. But
in these cases, the insurers can still
reject those with pre-existing conditions. The short-term plans often do
not cover mental health or maternity
care. And people who sign up may
have to pay the penalty, just as if they
were uninsured.
Parnell, the blogger, joined one of
the Christian health-care sharing
ministries, which have been around
for years but are flourishing. They do
not consider themselves insurance,
nor do many state insurance departments. Conservative lawmakers have
encouraged the ministries, with 28
states passing laws that explicitly exclude the ministries from state insurance regulations.
All of the ministries work slightly
differently. One of the oldest, Samaritan Ministries, based in Peoria,
Illinois, has members send monthly
checks not to a central office but directly to people in need. It not only
requires people to sign a pledge to
adhere to Christian values, but it
also asks for an annual sign-off from
a deacon or pastor attesting that the
person is being truthful.
"Beyond that, we just leave it up to
spirit to convict that person if they
decide to lie," said Joel Noble, public
policy manager for Samaritan as well
as the Alliance of Health Care Sharing
Ministries.
Noble has been a member of Samaritan for 13 years. "I'm expecting
my fourth child in July," he said. "I
probably have 21 checks sitting on my
desk at home waiting to be cashed."
He said Samaritan is adding about
1,000 families a month — up from
about 700 a month a year ago.
Christian Healthcare Ministries,
which Tucker joined, has existed
since the 1980s, but membership has
surged — growing by 60 percent to
more than 80,000 members — since
the health-care law was passed.
The most popular plan costs $150 a
month per person and covers medical bills up to $125,000 for any single
illness or incident. People with higher
bills are covered if they belong to a
special program in which members
split the cost. This "brother's keeper"
program typically costs less than $100
a year, according to the group.
While Tucker is a member, her husband is not because he smokes, which
the ministry forbids. He pays Blue
Cross Blue Shield $840 a month for a
plan he purchased independently of
the marketplaces, which he did not
use because of the couple's opposition
to the health law.
Experts warn that there is significant risk in joining these ministries.
Dissatisfied consumers often cannot
turn to state insurance departments
to resolve disputes — and they may
be limited in their efforts to pursue grievances through the courts.
Members of the ministries also are
expected to negotiate with hospitals
to reduce their bills, something hospitals often do for uninsured patients.
Disputes have arisen in Montana,
Illinois and elsewhere between ministries and their members over unpaid
bills. But longtime members say the
ministries work, even when it comes
to serious illnesses such as cancer.
Norma Beech, 67, has been a member of Christian Healthcare Ministries since 1991. The retired secretary
from Port St. Lucie, Florida, used the
program for her husband and two
children. She underwent chemotherapy and a costly bone marrow transplant when she was diagnosed with
non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
She negotiated with her doctors
and hospitals, who agreed to reduce
the amount she owed from more than
$1 million to closer to $350,000, she
said. Christian Healthcare Ministries
then sent her checks for the rest. "You

Best State in America: New York, For
Its Shrinking Carbon Footprint
By Reid Wilson

T
he Environmental Protection
Agency announced plans June
2nd to require big reductions
in carbon output from coal-fired
power plants. It may sound drastic,
but advances in technology mean that
some states are well on their way to
meeting the administration's goals.
No state has made more progress than
New York.
The proposed EPA rules would require states to cut emissions 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. As
of 2011, the last year for which data
from the Energy Information Administration are available, New York's
carbon emissions were 23.5 percent
below its 2005 levels. (The EPA rules
would require New York to reduce
carbon levels by a total of 44 percent
by 2030.)

Alexander Allan, a Scotsman living
in Alaska, to provide its army with
sled dogs. Heavy winter snows in
the Vosges Mountains were holding
back French supply lines; mules and
horses couldn't breach the impasse
to move artillery and ammunition.
Allan managed to transport, in secret, more than 400 sled dogs from
Alaska to Quebec, where he and the
dogs boarded a cargo ship bound for
France. Once there, the dogs hauled
ammunition, aided soldiers in the
work of laying communication lines,
and helped transport wounded soldiers to field hospitals. "It was enough
to make one forget all about the war,"
Allan recalled later. "Even when the

Unlike insurance companies bound
by the health law, these ministries
typically do not pay for contraception, abortion or treatment for most
mental illnesses. An injury arising
from what is considered non-Christian behavior, such as a drunken driving accident, may not be covered.

auctions to sell emissions allowances
and invest the proceeds in energy efficiency, renewable energy and other
programs to cut emissions. Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New

most-improved states.

a senior fellow at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions.

Germany had a long tradition of
military dogs and had the war's besttrained canine force. In the 1870s, the
German military began coordinating with local dog clubs, training and
breeding dogs for combat. They established the first military dog school
in 1884, and by the start of the Great
War, they had almost 7,000 trained
dogs. At the peak of the war, Germany's dog forces numbered more than
30,000: messengers, Sanitätshunde,
draught animals, guards.
Among the allies, France had the
largest and most diverse dog units. At
one point, the U.S. Army borrowed
French-trained dogs for sentry duty,
but the plan was eventually aborted
because the dogs only responded to
commands in French. At the start of
the war, the United States was one of
the few participants in World War I
that did not maintain a canine force.
War dogs weren't the only area in
which the U.S. military was wanting.
The Army lagged behind its allies in
both recruiting and preparedness.
"We came into this war without an
army … so now must build an entire
new organization," said Gen. Pershing in 1917. Stubby, the foundling
mutt, was thus an apt mascot for the
U.S. forces: unpedigreed, untrained,
an underdog.
4. Stubby in Action
In October 1917, one month after landing in France, the American
Expeditionary Forces entered the
Western Front. The raw troops of
the 26th Division were brought to
Neufchâteau, in the Lorraine region
of northeastern France, to train with
more experienced French forces. The
26th would end the war as one of
America's most battle-scarred. They
took part in four major offensives —
Aisne-Marne, Champagne-Marne,
Saint-Mihiel, and Meuse-Argonne —
cate. "It's really important that people
really believe in this and are committed to this. If you have a bunch of people sign up who are doing this only to
[avoid the health-care law], the whole
thing can collapse."
At least one ministry has taken a
more liberal approach to the religious
aspect. Liberty HealthShare, which
is based in Ohio, accepts non-Christians as long as they adhere to certain
values, including the belief that "it is
our fundamental right of conscience
to direct our own healthcare, in consultation with physicians, family or
other valued advisors, free from government dictates, restraints and oversight."
It is an option that appeals to Anthony Wilson, 56, a southeast Indiana
engineer who never warmed to the
health law and planned to stick with
his old health plan — until Anthem
said it would be raising the rate for
him and his wife to more than $1,400
a month.
He said that the Liberty plan has
shortcomings but noted that it is
cheaper than the Anthem policy and
aligns with his Catholic faith. And he
is happy that he is not participating in
the health-care law. "I would prefer to
not be a part of that if I can," he said.

bought old coal power plants,
federal rules required them to
make costly changes or switch

most opted to move to gas,
contributing to a decline in
emissions over the subsequent
decade.
The Empire State emits less
carbon dioxide per capita than
any other state, 8.1 metric tons
per person, according to data
from the EPA. Only the District
of Columbia emits less per capita, though D.C. has been slower
to cut its carbon emissions.
On the other end, emission
levels in energy-producing
states and Midwestern states are
increasing. Nebraska's carbon
emissions rose 21 percent from
2005 to 2011. And Wyoming creates
112.8 metric tons of emissions per
capita, far higher than any other state.
The EPA's proposed rules would
require each state to cut its emissions even further. Already on its
way to that goal, the Empire State can

and 17 engagements. They saw more
fighting than any other American
infantry division: 210 days in total.
Stubby was there for the duration.
The regiment's leader, Col. John Henry Parker, was a gruff, intimidating
man, a veteran of the Spanish-American War and an expert machine gun
tactician who eventually received a
Silver Star for extraordinary heroism.
It was Parker who gave special orders
that Stubby remain with the 26th. The
dog, it was said, "was the only member of his regiment that could talk
back to [Parker] and get away with it."
Stubby remained with the 102nd
throughout the training period in
Neufchâteau. Initially, he didn't serve
in an official capacity, but the dog was
allowed stay with Conroy, even when
he went on assignment as a dispatch
rider delivering messages to command posts on horseback. By February 1918, the 102nd was bunkering

Nightmare Scenario:
Computer Data Lost
All the data on your computer is only one glitch
away from being lost. Be it a hard-drive crash, virus,
electrical storm or power surge, everything you
have on your computer could vanish in an instant.
While most newer computers have internal
backup features, those are only as good as the condition of your computer. In a catastrophe, it won't
do you any good. But there are steps you can take
to safeguard your data.
Manually backing up your files:
• Use a storage device. A thumb drive is the easiest way to transport a file elsewhere, but don't use
thumb drives for long-term storage.
• CDs are handy and hold a lot of data, but they're
not forever. One scratch and the whole collection
of data could be lost. If you save to CD, save to two
of them, and spring for the hard plastic cases.
• External drives are a good bet and come in all
sizes and prices. However, if a glitch takes out your
computer, it could affect the external hard drive as
well. In the event of a catastrophe (tornado, fire),
you can grab the drive and go.
• If you're on a home network, moving all your
data to another computer is easy enough, but
again, if a glitch hits the first computer, it also
might strike your second computer.
• Remember to do your backups. If you make a
habit of backing up at the end of each day, in a crisis
situation you'll only lose what you've done that day.
Automatic backing up of your files:
• Cloud services are distant locations that will
save your data for you. These are paid-for services,
but beware you don't sign on with a startup company to get a lower price. Go with the tried and
true. You'll pay for both storage and download fees
should you need your files back.
• If you go with an external hard drive, many of
them come with software that will automate your
backups. Schedule it to copy your files daily and
then check once a week to be sure those downloads happened and that you can reacquire a file or
two. If your data is for work (or if you're writing a
thesis or novel), schedule more frequent backups.
Every five minutes is not too much.
Best bet: Back up your data via two methods,
one of which stores your data in a different location.

Western Front, nervously anticipating the Germans' launch of a spring
offensive. On St. Patrick's Day, bells
and klaxons, the signal of a poison gas
attack, rang out along the hillside in
the Marne where Stubby and Conroy
were stationed. For a full 24 hours,
German gas shells rained down.
Somehow, the dog and his master
survived. (Perhaps gas masks were
to thank — man and dog alike were
issued masks, though The New York
Times reported that "Stubby's physiognomy was of such peculiar contour
that no mask could afford real satisfaction.")
It was at Chemin des Dames that
Stubby reportedly saved the 102nd
from a gas attack. The Times describes how one morning, while most
of the troops were sleeping, the division was assaulted by an early morning gas launch. Stubby first smelled
the gas then ran up and down the
trenches barking and biting soldiers,
working to rouse them from slumber
and getting them to safety. On April 5
Stubby became a private first class, his
first military rank.
The 26th Division soon moved from
Chemin des Dames to nearby towns
of Saint-Mihiel and Seicheprey. The
102nd Infantry headquarters were
set up near a dangerous spot 1 1/2
miles north of Mandres-aux-QuatreTours. Known as "Dead Man's Curve"
because the hazardous turn required
oncoming vehicles to slow down, the
location made easy prey for the German artillery. Stubby and company
were placed in support positions to
wait for a German breakthrough.
On April 20, near Seicheprey, the
Germany infantry led one of its first
attacks against American troops.
Almost 3,000 German Stoßtruppen (shock troops) fired on, and
overwhelmed, a small contingent
of 600 American soldiers from the
26th. Fighting was so intense that
Maj. George Rau, commander of the
102nd, ordered his cooks, truck drivers, and even the marching band into
the fray. The Germans claimed victory, leaving 81 Allied troops killed,
424 wounded, and 130 captured.
Seicheprey sustained the heaviest losses in the Saint-Mihiel sector. Stubby got his first war wound
at Seicheprey, when a German shell
fragment lodged in his left foreleg.
By June, however, Stubby had recovered and was back in action. When
the 102nd reached Chateâu Thierry
in July, the dog had evidently learned
to distinguish a khaki doughboy uniform from gray serge Germany garb:
He recognized a uniformed enemy
soldier. Stubby's rage at the sight of a
German was reportedly so "savage,"
in the words of an Associated Press
account, that "it was found necessary
to tie him up when batches of prisoners were being brought back, for fear
that trouserless Germans would be
reaching the prison pens."
In the Argonne, Stubby sniffed out a
lost German soldier hiding in nearby
bushes. The dog gave chase, eventually dragging the soldier back to the
102nd. To the victor go the spoils:
The Iron Cross medal that had been
pinned to the German's uniform
thereafter adorned Stubby's Army
"coat."
Stubby later took part in the brutal offensives of Saint-Mihiel, AisneMarne, and the Champagne-Marne.
When the war ended on Nov. 11,
1918, Stubby was in Meuse-Argonne.
The process of demobilization was
protracted, and troops stayed on
for several months after Armistice.
While waiting out the trip home from
France, Stubby met his first of three
presidents, Woodrow Wilson, on
Christmas Day 1918 in Mandres en
Bassigny. According to Bausum, the
two reportedly shook "hands." Four
months later, on April 29, 1919, Stubby and Conroy were demobilized at
Camp Devens, Massachusetts.
5. The Perfect War Hero
After the war, Stubby was ubiquitous. He attended the 1920 Republican National Convention, which
culminated in the nomination of
Warren G. Harding. Harding officially received Stubby at the White House
in 1921; in 1924, the dog passed review for Harding's successor, Calvin
Coolidge, three times. When Conroy
went to study law at Georgetown,
Stubby became the university's official mascot, a predecessor to the Hoya
bulldog of the present day.
Usually closed doors were flung
open for Stubby. In December 1922,
The New York Times reported that
for the first time, the exclusive Hotel
Majestic on Central Park had broken
its own rules and allowed the dog
to stay overnight. Stubby was made
a member of the Red Cross and the
American Legion. The YMCA conferred a lifetime membership on the
dog, stipulating that he was entitled
to "three bones a day and a place to
sleep" for as long as he lived.
In the division of armed forces history at the Smithsonian National Museum of America History in Washington, there is a fascinating artifact,
a testament to Stubby's fame and the
swath he cut across American popular culture in the immediate postwar
years. It is a leather-bound scrapbook,
kept by Conroy. The book is crammed
with documents and ephemera: fan
letters, poems, drawings, an invitation to the White House from President Wilson. And there are newspaper clippings, the closest we have to a
comprehensive anthology of the press
coverage of Stubby. The accounts collected in Conroy's scrapbook broadly
sketch the narrative of Stubby's service that became familiar in the immediate postwar years.
The clippings in Conroy's scrapbook conflict on many particulars
of Stubby's story: Was he wounded
in the chest or in the left foreleg in
Seicheprey? Was he mostly a Boston
bull terrier or a bulldog or a fox terrier? The stories are mostly written in
a breathless tabloid tone that suggests
the truth was less important to their
authors than a good yarn:

atmosphere.
The applications of the project are
wide-ranging, but the science is easy
enough to understand.
During photosynthesis, a plant
absorbs light, then immediately reemits it at a different wavelength.
This is known as fluorescence. In a
laboratory setting, botanists can measure the intensity of fluorescence to
estimate how actively a plant is photosynthesizing. A satellite could, in
theory, detect the light emitted by the
world's plants to estimate how much
carbon the plants are absorbing. But
there has always been a big, fiery
problem: the sun.
The sun is, in most ways, a nice
thing to have around. It makes life
possible by supplying energy to our
planet. From an observational standpoint, though, it can be a major pain.
There are huge swaths of the universe
that we simply cannot see because the
brightness of the sun obscures our
view.
In much the same way, the sun was
thought to make it impossible to measure global photosynthetic fluorescence. The signals we want to observe
are subtle and represent a narrow slice
of the electromagnetic spectrum. The
sun's broad-spectrum rays were presumed to overwhelm the wavelengths
of plant fluorescence, making them
virtually impossible to detect.
That's where NASA's Joanna Joiner
of the Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Md., and Christian Frankenberg of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., came in, with
their innovative use of an electromagnetic phenomenon known as Fraunhofer lines. In the early 19th century,
German optician Joseph Fraunhofer
noticed that, in between the beautiful
bands of colored light that emerged
from a prism, several dark lines appeared. That's because, by the time
sunlight reaches Earth, molecules in
the atmosphere have absorbed certain wavelengths of light. In other
words, our atmosphere blocks out the
sun in certain wavelength bands of
the electromagnetic spectrum.
Joiner and Frankenberg realized
that they could look for plant fluorescence in the bands of the electromagnetic spectrum where the sun's light
has been dimmed. Data from the Japanese Greenhouse Gases Observing
Satellite, which was launched in 2009,
confirmed their hunch. Although the
OCO-2 project was already in motion
by the time Joiner and Frankenberg
made their breakthrough, adding
fluorescence readings will massively
amplify the satellite's ability to carry
out its carbon-measuring mission.
A detailed map of photosynthetic
activity and carbon absorption will
better inform conservation efforts. It
is widely believed that tropical forests
absorb approximately 20 percent of
global carbon emissions from fossil
fuel combustion. But where else is
carbon absorption highest? If the satellite data detect other areas of intense
photosynthetic activity, we ought to
be working hard to preserve them.
The carbon-uptake map should
also help settle some long-running
disputes. Conventional wisdom once
held that old-growth forests were bad
at carbon sequestration, because they
seemed to be finished growing. Some
analysts suggested that turning those
trees into houses or furniture would
make room for newer trees to absorb
more carbon.
More recent findings, however, suggest that old trees continue to breathe
in carbon at high rates. OCO-2's data
will shed light, so to speak, on the
relative photosynthetic activity of old
and new forests.
The data will also provide an early
warning system. In 2005, for example, a drought severely hampered the
Amazon rain forest's ability to absorb
carbon, but scientists didn't realize
the full scale of the impact for several years. Satellite fluorescence data
could have identified the situation almost as it was happening.
There may not be much we can do
to stave off a drought in the Amazon,
but there are other ways the data can
be used. A decline in photosynthesis
rates, as identified by falling fluorescence, could alert farmers to crop
failure much earlier. It could help
planners manage irrigation resources,
as well as alert global relief organizations to potential famines before they
happen.
Managing a garden from space
sounds a bit futuristic, but horticulture is about to enter the space age.
From now on, you're not just trying
to impress the neighbors with your
green thumb.

necessary for families in times of loss.
Kam was a proud Rotarian with connections in both Mt. Morris and Dansville, where he and his former wife
Sue (Scardilla) Vernam were enthusiastically and civically involved and
where they raised their two children
Kevin and Jennine.
Kam will long be remembered for
his raucous gift of humor, his fearless
sense of adventure and his adherence
to living life on his own terms without
apology. For all who loved him, the
world will be a little less colorful and
exciting without him. He is predeceased by parents, Nelson and Barbara Mason and brother Kevin. Surviving family include: Jennine (Mason)
Fabiani and grandsons Joseph and
Anthony of Boca Raton, Florida; son
Kevin Mason of Rochester; brother
Kirk (Danuta) Mason of Dunedin

Wrong: Quinoa
By L.V. Anderson
The New York Eagle News/ Slate
All We Are Saying is Give Peas
a 2nd Chance
By Barbara Damrosch
Special To The New York Eagle
News/The Washington Post.
Q
uinoa has been described as a
"superfood," "miracle grain,"
"powerhouse seed." I never
really got what all the fuss was about,
honestly. I mean, yeah, sure, it's high
in protein and gluten-free, but when
you cook it, it resembles every other
grain: fluffy, starchy, bland. It's filler,
something there to take up space between more interesting stuff. Quinoa
is the edible equivalent of Tim Carleton's "Opus No. 1," one of the most
popular pieces of telephone hold music.
Which is to say that the key to
making quinoa taste good is to add
good-tasting things to it. There's
only so much you can do to enhance
quinoa's natural flavor and texture:
Use the right amount of water, don't
cook it too long, don't forget the salt,
etc. (Lots of people tell you to rinse
it before you cook it to remove bitter
compounds, but most quinoa is prerinsed, so it's usually not necessary.)
Sautéing the seeds in oil or butter before you add water is always a good
idea — it leads to a fluffier end product by preventing the grains from
sticking together — but the most important thing is what delicious things
you add to flavor the quinoa.
Here is a blueprint for making a
good quinoa pilaf (or any other kind
of pilaf, for that matter). You do not
need to add all of these types of ingredients every single time, but you
should definitely add most of them if
you want to protect yourself from the
vexatious fate of tedious quinoa.
First you need an allium. Onion,
scallion, shallot, leek or garlic will do.
Slice or chop it and cook it in oil or
butter until it's soft.
Then, add the quinoa, toast it in the
oil for a few minutes, and throw in
some nuts or beans along with some

Jiménez Jaramillo.)
dried fruit. The dried fruit does not
have to be a super-sugary dried fruit
— in the below recipe, for instance, I
use sun-dried tomatoes — but a little
sweetness to counterbalance savory
flavors is always nice. Some fruit-nut
combinations are obvious (raisinwalnut, cranberry-pecan, apricotalmond), but by all means mix things
up.
After you've added water and
cooked the grains thoroughly, turn
off the heat and toss in some cheese
and fresh herbs. For pilafs, I prefer a
crumbly cheese, like feta, ricotta salata or gorgonzola, which is less likely
to get gluey than a grated cheese. As
for herbs, anything goes — parsley,
cilantro, basil, mint, dill, rosemary,
thyme, oregano. Be careful not to
overdo it with the more powerful
herbs; rosemary, for instance, can
easily overpower a dish.
These five categories of ingredient
will guide you on your quest to make
quinoa that kinda-sorta lives up to
the moniker "superfood."

Quinoa
Pilaf with
Chickpeas,
Feta and
Sun-Dried
Tomatoes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Time: About 1 hour, partially unattended
Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil
• 1 leek, white and light green parts
only, chopped
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups quinoa
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped sundried tomatoes
• 1/2 cup drained cooked chickpeas
• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Steps:
1. Put the olive oil in a medium pot
over medium-high heat. When it's
hot, add the leek and season with salt
and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Add the quinoa and stir until it
dries out and begins to stick together,
about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes,
the chickpeas and 3 cups of water.
Raise the heat to high and bring to a
boil, then cover the pot and adjust the
heat so the mixture simmers gently.
Cook until the quinoa has absorbed
all the liquid and is tender, 15 to 20
minutes.
3. Remove the pot from the heat and
let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the feta
and dill, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve hot, warm or at room
pring-planted peas are a choice
crop for the kitchen gardener,
but it's easy to miss the boat.
Well, two boats, actually. The first one
sailed this spring when the ground
thawed, warmed up a bit and was finally dry enough to be worked. If you
didn't get those seeds in promptly,
the plants will still grow, but they will
struggle increasingly as spring temperatures yield to summer ones.
Heat is the enemy of a good pea.
So is maturity — that second boat, if
you will. Garden peas that have filled
out their pods are good for one day,
maybe two, before they turn starchy
and lose their delectable, just-picked,
sweet taste. By the time the pods lose
their green smoothness and are pale
and rough to the touch, they are beyond eating.
If you are filling your freezer with
your pea harvest now, or are about to,
bravo for you. If not, consider planting some for fall eating, even a small
plot.
Just as with the early crop, the timing is tricky at both the germination
end and the picking end. You'll need
to start them anywhere from midJuly to early September, depending
on how late the first frost is expected
in your zone or microclimate, and
how many days to harvest are noted
for any given variety. (Store seed peas
in the fridge until sowing time.) Yes,
peas are a cool-weather crop, but unlike winter warriors such as spinach
and kale, they are not frost-proof.
The vines tolerate a few below-freezing nights, but the blossoms and pods
will not. And sowing in summer's
heat is a challenge, too.
But give it a try. Lots of empty spaces appear in the garden in late summer, so when lower temperatures
are at least on the horizon, spread a
mulch of hay, straw or newspaper on
an empty bed to make it more cool
and moist. Then start pea seeds indoors or in cool spots, in soil blocks
or plug trays. (If you have saved any
little plastic six-packs from purchased annuals, you can also re-use
those.) The minute you see that bump
temperature. (Store leftover quinoa
pilaf in an airtight container in the
refrigerator for up to several days.)

recipe section on pages 24-25. ■

of green, pop them in the ground.
Starting them this way will get them
off to a quicker start and will avoid
gaps in the row where seeds might
have failed to germinate because of
heat stress.
Choosing a quick variety is also
a good strategy, but heat tolerance
might be an even more important
factor. Lincoln is a time-honored
heirloom for warm-climate gardens,
although it's tall and you'd need to
support it with a trellis. Wando, Maestro and Top Pod are shorter heat-resistant varieties that can more or less
support themselves, or can be allowed
to sprawl on the ground. You might
also grow a Sugar Snap type such as
the super-quick Sugar Ann, or a snow
pea such as Oregon Sugar Pod II.
As days grow cooler and shorter,
growth will slow down a bit. If frost
threatens, just drape some floating
row cover over your trellis — if you're
using one — so that it becomes a tent.
Dwarf, ground-hugging vines will be
less exposed to the cold, but these,
too, might need covering on cold
nights if you're racing with frost. I
find an old blanket works fine, as long
as I remember to remove it promptly
in the morning. At that point I'm in
battle mode. I want those peas on my
table, and I won't take no for an answer.

The Oprah-Endorsed Happiness Guru & Me

among the site's 20 most popular lectures, beating out a talk by Steve Jobs.
Yet long before all that, the man
whose expert counsel is now sought
by Fortune 500 companies lived upstairs from me in a dorm. And happiness, whatever that means, seemed
very far away.
I first met Shawn my freshman year
in college, in the fall of 2000, when
he was a divinity school graduate

Happiness guru Shawn Achor on Oprah’s “Super Soul Sunday.” The man whose expert counsel is now
sought by Fortune 500 companies lived upstairs from the author in a dorm. (George Burns/courtesy of
Harpo Studios Inc.)
In the promo for this episode of her
"Super Soul Sunday," the talk-show
impresario promised in trademark
sing-song that this would be part one
of a two-week conversation "that's
gonna make ya happier!"
Because that is what Shawn Achor
does. Before setting out to lift the
spirits of Oprah's viewers — the second installment aired June 1st on the
OWN network; check listings for
re-runs — he wrote two best-selling
books on happiness. His TED talk on

and social counsel as first-year students adjust to independent life in the

hosted study breaks. With cookies.
I hung out at some of those study
breaks. And Shawn and I chatted regularly in the halls. Yet, that year, I was
floundering.

Home Front:
The Collector's Edition
Washington Post
M
ary Randolph Carter, author of "Never Stop to
Think . . . Do I Have a Place
for This?," was the guest last month
on Post staff writer Jura Koncius'
Home Front online chat. Here is an
edited excerpt.
Q: Now that I am finally through
the winter doldrums, I am going to
attack the beautiful sunroom in my
new house. I have collected a decent amount of Mexican art (statues,
paintings, vases) and need some ideas
on how to best display them. I also
will use decorative ceramic pots for
the plants. I would appreciate any display tips and paint color suggestions.
A: Collecting is always associated
with memory, and you have some
great ones. With a sunroom you
start with the most valuable asset of
all, beautiful light. The ceramic pots
sound so exotic for your plants. For
those Mexican art treasures, perhaps
find a wonderful hanging wooden
shelf in a great color to display them.
I'm not sure how many walls you have
in the sunroom, but I love pedestals
for showing off a special statue or
clustering them all together on a little
table, an altar to your love of these
things. For texture, you could find a
great old raffia rug or several. I would
keep the background colors simple so
your plants and collections stand out.
Every wall in my house is white but
covered with paintings and photos
and maps and prints — all the things
that I love!
Q: What constitutes a collection?
A: There are probably as many answers to this question as there are
collectors, but I'll take a stab and say:
once you've got three of anything
you're on your way.
Q: When is money a roadblock to
owning something that you think you
can't live without?
A: Oh that wretched subject —
money. Thank goodness there's so
much great stuff out there that if you
fall in love with something you can't
(or shouldn't) afford, just wait a while
and you'll find something just as good
that fits your pocketbook. There was
once an amazing serape that I fell for
at the Washington Flea years back. I
left it behind and went on my way,
and sure enough, there on another
dealer's table just minutes away was
another for $15 that was even more
extraordinary. So love what you love,
but don't be too impulsive. On the
other hand, sometimes if it's worth it
to you, save up or have a tag sale and
go for it.
Q: How have the Internet and eBay
changed collecting?
A: The Internet has changed the
world at large, and in particular, junk-
ing and hunting
for the things we
love. My friend
and fellow collector Tom Judd
(featured
in
my new book)
swears by the online hunt. He has
had great luck
finding
handwritten recipes,
diner menus, old
botanical prints
and fragments
of vintage wallpaper. He layers
them into his
beautiful collages
and never looks
back. Have fun,
Tom, but I'll have
more fun mucking around in the In her book “Never Stop to Think . . . Do I Have a Place for This?” Mary
mud and rain at Randolph Carter offers ideas and inspiration on how to accessorize and
a good old-fash- display items and collections. (Photo Courtesy of Rizzoli.)

"There is currently no other viable option" to making the car sustainable.
Aside from the ability to drive on
electric power, both i models feature

Early response to the i8 shows that
it is doing what BMW hoped for: that
is, turning heads. During recent testing in California, the car had enough
star power to gain paparazzi-like attention from passersby on Beverly
Hills' Rodeo Drive, where exotic cars
are commonplace.
"People were jumping into the street
with their smartphones to get a picture," Carsten Breitfeld, project manager for the i8, said in an interview.
"It's not easy to get that kind of attention on Rodeo Drive."

Clean Hydrogen Advances Amid
Fuel Cell Technology Gains
By Christopher Martin
Bloomberg News
O
nce relegated to the realm of
science projects, hydrogen
fuel cells are starting to displace fossil fuels as a means of powering cars, homes and businesses.
On June 10, in the latest addition
to mainstream fuel-cell use, Hyundai
began deliveries of a consumer SUV
in Southern California. The technology is already producing electricity
for the grid in Connecticut. AT&T is
using fuel cells to power server farms,
and Wal-Mart Stores uses hydrogenpowered forklifts. Later this, summer FedEx will begin using hydrogen
cargo tractors at its Memphis air hub.
"This is the most exciting time for
fuel cells in my career," said Daniel Dedrick, head of hydrogen and
combustion technologies at Sandia
National Laboratories in Livermore,
California. The hydrogen market "is
starting to accelerate."
Fuel cells produce electricity from
hydrogen in a process that dates back
to the 1830s, yet high costs have historically made the technology better
suited for Apollo space missions and
Soviet submarines. In recent years,
the technology has made big strides,
and prices are falling. And because
the process produces little or no
greenhouse gases, hydrogen power
stands to get a boost in the wake of
President Barack Obama's recent call
for tighter controls on carbon emissions.
It's still early days for hydrogen
power. Prominent skeptics, including
former Energy Secretary Steven Chu
Once relegated to the realm of science projects, hydrogen fuel cells are starting to displace fossil fuels
as a means of powering cars, homes and businesses. A Daimler Mercedes-Benz F-Cell vehicle is fueled
at a public hydrogen pumping station in Fountain Valley, California, in February. (Bloomberg News

and Tesla Motors Chief Executive
Officer Elon Musk, have questioned
whether the technology will ever
catch on.
Hydrogen currently provides less
than 1 percent of power worldwide,
while coal and gas produced 67 percent of U.S. electricity in 2012, according to the Energy Information
Administration. Chu, who was appointed by Obama, called for a 44
percent reduction in funding for hydrogen research.
"People have been working to improve fuel cells for over 150 years,
and it's still not commercially viable,"
said Joseph Romm, a senior fellow at
the Center for American Progress, a
Washington-based think-tank.
Only about 1,000 cars and buses
using hydrogen technology operate
today worldwide. There are nine hydrogen filling stations in California,
with 48 more under development.
California promises to boost that
number to about 100 over the next
several years. By comparison, there
are 160,000 traditional filling stations
across the country.
Advocates argue the hydrogen landscape could quickly evolve as corporations' use of hydrogen spreads. The
infrastructure for corporate fuel cells
has been quietly spreading. Across the
U.S., there are now tanks of hydrogen
and fueling systems for fleet vehicles
and forklifts. There are pipelines delivering the fuel to refiners that use it
to make gasoline. As more companies
adopt hydrogen power, the needed
equipment will come, said Andy
Marsh, chief executive officer of Plug
Power Inc. in Latham, New York.
Yet even industry leaders say that,
without a national pipeline network,
it will be a long time before the nascent industry will enjoy widespread
development.
"You have to get critical mass to
build a business case," said Ed Kiczek,
Driver’s License Photo
When I went to get my driver’s license renewed, our local motor-vehicle bureau was packed. The line inched along
for almost an hour until the man ahead of me finally got his license.
He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, “I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture.”
The clerk looked at his picture closely. “It’s okay,” he reassured the man: “That’s how you’re going to look when the
cops pull you over anyway.” ■

global business director for hydrogen
at Air Products and Chemicals in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the world's
largest supplier of hydrogen. "That
could be 30 years away."
For now, local pockets of hydrogen
use are flourishing. Plug supplies fuel-cell powered forklifts for customers including Wal-Mart, the grocery
chain Kroger and Bayerische Motoren
Werke. Plug also provides hydrogenfueling systems. Once a company has
a flock of its forklifts at a warehouse,
it's a short leap to installing larger fuel
cells that can produce both hydrogen
on site and electricity for the entire
building, Marsh said.
The company is supplying the systems for FedEx's airport tractors in
Memphis, another location where
stationary fuel cells might eventually
become either a primary or back-up
source of electricity.
AT&T is the largest non-utility fuel
cell customer in the U.S.. It has 17.1
megawatts of fuel cells operating at 28
sites in California and Connecticut.
The systems offer cleaner power that's
more consistent than electricity supplied by the grid, said John Schinter,
the company's assistant vice president
of energy and smart buildings.
"For us, reliability is so critical and
these help us ride through power disruptions," Schinter said. "We deploy
fuel cells in our high-cost markets,
so these actually reduce our operating costs. We're definitely planning to
expand."
Proponents of hydrogen say all this
activity will soon spill over to the auto
market, and it's already happening in
Southern California. Hyundai was set
to begin deliveries of its fuelcell Tucson SUV this week. Honda already offers one there and Toyota will follow
next year.
"The shift to hydrogen is inevitable,
and it's happening faster than we expected," said Amory Lovins, founder
of the Rocky Mountain Institute, a
non-profit clean energy research organization based in Snowmass, Colorado.
Not everyone agrees. Elon Musk, a
longtime critic of fuel cell technology,
particularly in automobiles that compete with Tesla's Model S, revisited
his opposition to the power- generating devices earlier last week.
"I'm not the biggest fan of fuel cells,"
Musk said at the company's annual
meeting in Mountain View, California, on June 3. "I usually call them
'fool cells.' "
Even so, California is participating
in an eight-state effort to get 3.3 million zero-emission cars on the road by
2025, powered by either fuel cells or
batteries. Also participating are Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and
Vermont, which together account for
25 percent of all U.S. auto sales.
Some analysts are predicting steady
if modest growth. Automakers may be
selling 1.76 million fuel-cell vehicles a
year worldwide by 2025, according to
Deloitte Tohmastsu Consulting.
Cars that run on hydrogen can
typically go more than 250 miles
(400 kilometers) on a tank of the gas
and then must be refilled. They differ from battery electric vehicles like
Tesla's Model S or the Nissan Leaf,
which use lithium ion batteries to
store electricity. When those batteries
are drained, they must be recharged.
After decades of losses, fuel cell
makers are finally closing in on profits. Ballard Power Systems Inc. expects to report break-even earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization for 2014, after posting one profitable year since 1992.
The Vancouver-based company supplies power systems used in buses and
Plug's forklifts.
FuelCell Energy, a supplier of large
stationary systems that run buildings
and factories, said June 4th it will
have break-even EBITDA by the end
of this year. The company's systems
are running the world's biggest fuelcell power plant, a 59-megawatt facility in South Korea, and the first utilityscale plant in the U.S., in Bridgeport,
Connecticut.
Investors are taking note. Plug is up
more than 1,000 percent in the past
year, the best performer on the Nasdaq Composite Index. Ballard has
doubled and FuelCell has gained 49
percent, compared with a 23 percent
gain for the broader market index.
In the future, suppliers may tap excess power from wind and solar farms
to make hydrogen, reducing the carbon emissions that come when it's
derived from gas, said Michael Beckman, vice president of hydrogen fueling at Linde AG, the world's largest
industrial gas supplier.
"In three to five years you will see
that become more prevalent," Beckman said. "Wind and solar can make
hydrogen cheap when the grid doesn't
need the power."

In a Romp, Virginia 10-Year-Old Sets AgeGroup World Record in Half-Marathon

heinhardt Harrison is such a
typical, hyperactive 10-yearold suburban Washington
boy -- loves basketball and Xbox,
grossed out by onions and girls --that
it's easy to overlook that he is one of
the fastest 10-year-old distance runners in the world, ever.
It's no guarantee of fame and fortune when the 2028 Olympics roll
around. But in April in Washington,
the Falls Church, Virginia, runner
set the world record for the 10-mile
run for 10-year-olds (yes, they keep
records for every age). Then on May
25th at the Alexandria (Va.) Running
Festival, he set the world record for
the half-marathon by a full 2 minutes,
running a steady pace of 7:15 per mile
to finish in 1:35:02.
That was the first time he had ever
run either distance.
And when he was done with the
13.1-mile course, he went on the
moon bounce with his friends near
the finish line.
"It was fun and hard at the same
time," Rheinhardt said of his first
half-marathon. "At mile 10, I had a
shoulder cramp. My dad had to massage it." When it was over, he added,
"I was tired. But it was fun after," partly because of the moon bounce and

encomiums and ceremonial pomp,
something was being glossed over:
the grim details of life in the trenches,
poison gas attacks, debilitating war
injuries, death.
It is a truism that World War I was
the first modern war, but it's
easy to forget what that meant
100 years ago. The scale
and nature of World
War I was unprecedented, shocking
even to Americans who had
lived through
the Civil War a
half-century earlier. Many veterans
were haunted by
their experiences
in the trenches,
but American
and
military
culture did
not encourage the airing
of battlefield
traumas.
Shellshock
was regard-
Over the top he went with the boys
on many occasions, and the sight of
the enemy was like a red flag to a bull.
On one trip "over" he sank his teeth in
the seat of a fleeing Hun's trousers
and did not let go. "Kamerad,"
howled the Hun; but Stubby
paid no attention, hanging on
until the foe laid down and
gave up to the Yanks.
We can feel confident about
certain details that emerge
from the journalistic record:
Stubby served in France, he
was the beloved mascot for
the 102nd, he was wounded
at Seicheprey. There are
sepia-toned photographs
showing the dog in the
French countryside,
surrounded by soldiers on a wooden
Ford Model T ambulance. Another
photo,
dated
February 1919,
captures Stubby
in the town of Mandres-aux-Quatre-Tours,
in Lorraine in Baldy of Nome, famed Alaskan sled dog, and his owner Allan
n o r t h e a s t e r n "Scotty" Allan. Baldy sired 28 of the sled dogs sent to France
by Allan during WWI. (Project Gutenberg/Slate.)
France. The dog
sits in dappled
sunlight, in a reflective pose on a
wooden chair against a brick wall
backdrop. But given the documentation that has survived, it is difficult
at times to separate the actions of
the real dog from the mythology that
sprung up around him upon his triumphant return with the victorious
American Army.
But the very fact of Stubby's celebrity itself enlightens our understanding
of the war and its aftermath. Surely
some measure of his popularity in the
postwar period was due to the novelty of a canine hero. But the dog was
also the perfect mascot for a war that
had introduced human carnage on
a scale never previously seen. While
Stubby was hailed with newspaper
ed as a
m e nt a l
illness,
the result of cowardice, a shameful
disease. In this environment, Sergeant Stubby was an ideal World War
I hero, because he was ideally stoic.
He was the jaunty little creature who
could be trotted out for parades, appear with politicians and military
brass in photo opportunities, and was
guaranteed to stay on message.
It's impossible to say if Stubby's celebrity was cultivated by the U.S. government or if it was the result of an
organic groundswell. While there is
very little written record about Stubby's keeper, J. Robert Conroy, we do
know that from 1913 on, his life was
very much intertwined with the U.S.
government. After the war, he worked
as a bureaucrat, first for the Bureau of
Investigation (predecessor to the FBI)
at the Justice Department, then with
military intelligence and finally on
Capitol Hill as secretary for a Connecticut congressman.
Still, not everyone was captive to
Stubby's charms. The most revealing
page in the Stubby scrapbook may
be the one in which we find a note,
inscribed in Conroy's handwriting:
"Criticism of Stubby which proves
he is famous." It is a single page, but
its contents show that Stubby-mania
wasn't embraced by all Army veterans. And much of the criticism illustrates that commemorating Stubby
did often mean neglecting the story of
human veterans.
The page includes an infuriated letter to the editor by Richard L. Richardson, a Great War veteran from San
Angelo, Texas. Richardson writes:
If this Boston bull did so much and
the boys didn't do anything, why not
send an army of bull pups the next
time and see who is entitled to these
honors? I think the whole thing is nothing but a disgrace to the U.S. Army. I
feel that I am insulted … the thousands of real heroes, the red-blooded

American boys who left gallons of their
blood and maybe an arm or a leg on
the battlefields don't get these honors
bestowed on them. They didn't do anything to receive a medal or the name "a
real hero." But a dog did.
Stubby died in his sleep in Conroy's
arms in 1926. Today, he may be the
last decorated World War I veteran
that you can still see in the flesh. His
taxidermied remains are on view at
the Smithsonian, in a crowded display case alongside a mannequin
doughboy and another World War
I military animal celebrity, the carrier pigeon Cher Ami. Stubby's ears
are pointed up, and he wears a gruff
expression. He looks like a ramrod
sergeant: tough, unsmiling, no nonsense, with a coat covered in medals.

6-Year-Old Wants to Train
Elephants
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My 6-year-old son,
after a class trip to the circus, has informed me
that he wants to be an elephant trainer when
he grows up. I'm personally against keeping any
animal in captivity, particularly endangered elephants, and certainly against training them to
perform. When I told my son "no way," he got
upset and ran to his room. How can I make him
understand that elephant trainer is a horrible
career choice?
-- Jayne L., via email
DEAR JAYNE: OK, first, remind yourself that
your son is 6 years old. Kids at that age cycle
through a lot of exciting career choices: fireman, policeman, trapeze artist, cowboy -- a lot
of things capture their fancy.
1. What was the title of George Benson's
first No. 1 single on the R&B charts? Hint:
The name was the same as the album.
2. "A Little More Love" was on the "Totally
Hot" album by which artist?
3. Elvis topped the charts in 1956 with his
"Don't Be Cruel." Which artist released a
song by the same name in 1988?
4. Which country song did Engelbert Humperdinck make a pop hit in 1967?
5. Name the song that contains this lyric:
"I can't sleep nights because I feel so restless, I don't know what to do, I feel so helpless, And since you've been away, I cry both
night and day."
Answers
1. "Give Me the Night," 1980.
2. Olivia Newton-John in 1978. The song
was used in the film "Monster House."
3. Bobby Brown. His version also topped
the charts and appeared in the "Grand Theft
Auto: San Andreas" video game.
4. "Am I That Easy to Forget?"
5. "I Don't Know Why But I Do," by Clarence "Frogman" Henry in 1961. The song
was resurrected in the film "Forrest Gump"
in 1994. He got the nickname from his croaking voice, best heard on "Ain't Got No Home."
nyeaglenews.com
While I respect your stance on performing
animals, I think saying a flat "no" to your son
isn't the best way to go about it. At 6, he's old
enough for you to have a conversation with him
about your opposition to trained elephants.
You also can encourage him to explore other
ways to work with animals while he's still fascinated with the subject. Take him to visit a local nature preserve or conservation center, and
join a tour group or talk with one of the staff
about the work they do with local animals. Look
for age-appropriate kids' programming -- DVDs,
cable TV or on services like Netflix -- that discusses efforts to protect endangered elephants
and other wild animals.
In short, your son is beginning to explore the
world and his place in it. You can figuratively
slam the door on career options that you abhor,
or you can be his guide and help him think
through certain issues and learn more about
ways to help animals.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Try using that
Aries charm to warm up the usual set of workplace naysayers, and then back it up with a solid
block of facts and figures to sell your idea to your
colleagues.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) While nothing
can deter a determined Bovine from following
a course you believe in, it helps to have some
supporting data and statements by trusted colleagues to make your case.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Take advantage
of new information that could help make your
career transition easier. The weekend is a good
time to re-establish relationships with people
you haven't seen in a while.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal matters demand your attention as once-stable
situations begin to shift. Quick action to shore
things up is called for in order to avoid more
problems down the line.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Although your financial picture begins to brighten, "thrift" and
"caution" are still the watchwords for fiscally
astute Leos and Leonas to live by. Expect news
about a family matter.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Before
you try to blame a colleague for a workplace
problem, make sure you have the proof to back
you up. Make some quiet inquiries on your own
to try to solicit more information.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to cheer up a depressed friend or downcast
family member can be difficult. But keep at it,
and your efforts should soon pay off in ways you
might have never expected.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Taking a new look at an old and frequently recurring problem might lead you to consider making
some surprising changes in the way you had
been handling it up till now.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December
21) Despite what the naysayers might say, setting your sights on a new goal could be one of
the smartest things the typically sagacious Sagittarian has done in a long time.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
Rebuilding an unraveling relationship won't be
easy. But you can do it, if you really want to. Just
remember to keep the lines of communication
open between the two of you.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A
new friendship could develop into a close relationship. Meanwhile, reassure an old friend
who might be feeling neglected that he or she
is still an important part of your life.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might
be feeling that you're still in over your head as
you continue trying to adjust to your new situation. But the pressures ease by week's end, giving you time to come up for air.

Travel Q & A
Q
: My family (two adults and
two kids under 8) is considering taking Amtrak from
Washington to Montreal this summer.
What do you think?
A: I say do it! My boys loved the
train when they were younger. It's
much less confining than a plane, plus
there's this great thing called the club
car, where you can buy them food
(c'mon, Mom, at least a bag of chips!).
With today's world of hand-held devices, they can while away the time
no problem (my kids actually read
books). Plus there's that wonderful
pastime of looking out the window.

Q: I'm looking at an SAS flight from
Warsaw to Newark with a 50-minute connection time in Copenhagen.
Is this feasible or is it cutting it too
close? If I miss the connecting flight,
what are the airline's obligations to
me?
A: The Copenhagen airport site
indicates that 45 minutes is the minimum connection time, so if the planets align, you should be able to make
it. The airline's obligation is to put
you on its next flight or, at its discretion, the next flight of another carrier.

Q: We're looking for a decent hotel
or bed-and-breakfast in Annapolis,
Md., where we can walk to restaurants, etc. If it's a bed-and-breakfast,
we'd prefer that it not to be a Victorian-grandmother-bric-a-brac-explosion. Any ideas?
A: Stay at the Maryland Inn (now
part of Historic Inns of Annapolis).
It's right downtown; just walk out the
door, and you're in the middle of the
shops and restaurants. It's very historic and charming and bills itself as
a boutique hotel. The other two members are the Governor Calvert House
and the Robert Johnson House, also
very nice. No Victorian bric-a-brac,
and rates are reasonable.

through the years, but with overhead
space filling immediately these days,
I'm nervous that they'll try to make us
check it.
A: How valuable is the guitar to
you? If you think you're going to
spend too much time worrying about
it, then I wouldn't risk it. But if you
really want to take it, I'd urge you to
arrive early and sweet-talk the gate
agents and then the flight attendants,
impressing on them how much you
value it and don't want to see anything bad happen to it. The TSA does
suggest that if you check any instrument, you "include short written instructions, where a security officer
will notice them, for handling and
repacking your instrument."
If the guitar is worth a lot (monetarily and otherwise) and it's crucial to have it for the vacation, you
might consider a private service that
specializes in shipping delicate items,
such as Amerijet.

Q: My son needs to travel to Genoa,
Italy, but the return date is very openended. Is it better to buy a one-way
ticket, or is it possible to buy a roundtrip with no actual return date?
A: You can't buy a round-trip ticket with no return date. If you get a
round-trip ticket, you'll have to pay
the penalty for changing the return
date, which will be steep, plus the
difference in airfare. But one-way
INVASIVE FROM COVER
_________________________
wildlife officials often do when it
comes to invasive species. The state
is being overrun by animals, insects
and plants that should not be there,
costing Floridians half a billion dollars each year in everything from
damaged orange groves to maimed
pets and dead fish in water depleted
of oxygen by plants.
Florida spends $50 million a year
just to eradicate invasive weeds from
fields, pastures and canals. Yet, the
problem is getting worse.
"What have we learned?" said Linda
Friar, a spokeswoman for Everglades
National Park. "What strategy do we
have in place for stopping these species from being brought here? Are we
educating the public well enough? I
don't know."
Native Florida alligators are already
in a death match with giant Burmese
pythons and other python species to
sit atop the food chain. On top of that
is a rogues gallery of bad-to-the-bone
lizards, fish and frogs. They include
the Argentine tegu, which eats sea
turtle eggs; the Nile monitor lizard,
which kills house pets; the Cuban tree
frog, which dines on other frogs; and
the greedy lionfish, which is eating
scores of native fish.
Last year, Florida organized a
month-long hunt, called the Python
Challenge, and enlisted volunteers to

out both ways. Some just buy roundtrip tickets and don't use the second
portion, but most airlines have rules
prohibiting this and reserve the right
to cancel your flight if you get caught.

Q: When do you suggest booking a
room for the 4th of July weekend in
New Orleans?
A: Most likely, prices will only rise
for the holiday weekend. You could
always book and, if the price drops,
call the hotel and ask if they will reimburse you for the difference. Or, if
they have a flexible cancellation policy, you can cancel and rebook at the
cheaper rate. But I wouldn't wait too
long to reserve, especially if you plan
to stay in one of the main neighborhoods. Some hotels may also require
minimum-night stays.

parent and three kids ages 8, 12 and

be reasonable proximity to a historic

Both are near Gettysburg.
help remove its top-priority invasive
species from the Everglades. When
it was over, the state fish and wildlife commission and other experts
came to this conclusion: Evicting the
snakes is impossible.
Up to 100,000 pythons are estimated to be living in the Everglades, and
more than 1,500 thrill-seekers, amateurs and skilled hunters who flocked
to the event from across the country
caught only 68.
Pythons are excellent at stealth.
Trackers with the U.S. Geological
Survey have stood a few feet from
them — with radio transmitters —
and failed to see them. In the challenge, 24 hunters with permits caught
42 snakes. More than 1,500 others
caught 26.
"That was the key . . . result, and
shows why we have such a serious
problem," said Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida ecology and biology
professor. "How do you win a war if
you can't find your enemy? You really have to know what you're doing
to even have a low level of detection."
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ruled out a
second challenge this year, partly because pythons are so hard to spot, let
alone catch.

that better-trained people are going

coordination. Officials are not sure of
the next step. "If we did it again, what
would it look like?"
Critics called the challenge a flop,
but Mazzotti and a team of biologists who conducted necropsies on
the snakes disagreed. At a university
lab in Lauderhill, Fla., they faced dissecting a huge pile of giant snakes,
more than any of them had seen at
one time.
For the first time, they examined
animals as if on an assembly line —
one person slicing snakes open, another examining stomach contents, a
third studying sex organs.
It was "the same thing Henry Ford
did for making automobiles," said
Mazzotti, who oversaw the work.
"Instead of putting them together, we
took them apart."
They were looking for signs that pythons are behind the disappearance of
animals in the Everglades. For a 2012
study, researchers who counted Everglades National Park mammals found
that 99 percent of raccoons have
disappeared since pythons became
established. Marsh rabbits and foxes
completely vanished.
Over a decade ending in 2009, federal and state agencies spent $100
million on the recovery of wood
storks, a staple of the python's diet.
But the necropsies did not find
evidence that the 68 pythons ate such
animals. Caught throughout the Everglades, except in the national park,
where their capture for monetary
gain is forbidden, they feasted largely
on cotton rats.
Still, the commission wants to evict
as many snakes as possible, and it
would like to provide some type of incentive to groups such as Florida Python Hunters, led by Ruben Ramirez,
who caught 18 snakes to win the challenge's top prize.
But there is no money in the budget
to pay them, Sommers said. The commission has turned to a Python Patrol of enthusiasts who are trained to
identify and possibly remove snakes.
As for criticism of the Python Challenge, federal and state wildlife officials dismissed it. "Our measure of
success wasn't the same as what the
public had," Sommers said.
Raising public awareness was the
main priority, "and we did that," she
said. "Eight million people worldwide
read or saw something related to it."
And the necropsies already answered one odd question from Floridians: Is it OK to eat snake meat?
Mercury levels varied in the dead
snakes and were lower, on average,
than levels in pythons captured earlier in Everglades National Park.
But no, Sommers said, don't eat the
pythons.

HAPPINESS FROM PAGE 13
_________________________
happiness front. In my early 20s, I
went to see a life coach. At one point
I said the following sentence out loud:
"Well, maybe I want to be a midwife."
Which is a noble profession but also,
in my case, a very specific cry for help.
The life coach offered to see me pro
bono — the way immigration lawyers
offer to help people fleeing genocidal
regimes. Or me, just trying to figure
things out.
When the future happiness guru
and I were living in the same building, my problem had a lot to do with
college itself. I'd grown up near a college campus, and living among polarfleeced collegiate idealists, as they
tossed Frisbees and discussed the
good they would do in the world, had
led me to romanticize the college experience. Through my awkward slog
of adolescence, I imagined that in
college, everything would make sense
and that I would become a better version of me.
Of course, the reality turned out to
be rather different.
I knew enough to seek some professional help. I told one counselor
that, among the things that made me
feel like I was drowning, I found the
dining hall overwhelming and was
having trouble with out-of-control
eating.
Her advice: "Have you tried using a
smaller plate?"
Reading Shawn's books and watching his TED talk recently, I began
to wonder whether, if only he had
known then what he knows now, and
had been able to tell me about it when
I was 18, I might have been a little less
lonely, a little more healthy, a little
less certain that happiness was some
unknown destination in the future,
certainly not attainable in the present.
In his first book, "The Happiness
Advantage," he defines happiness as
"the joy we feel striving after our potential." (When he repeated this idea
to Oprah, he prefaced it by saying that
its roots are in the work of the Greek
philosophers he studied. She called it
a "tweetable moment," no doubt gratifying Aristotle.)
His definition is a savvy one, skirting ineffable notions of euphoria.
Potential is more PowerPoint-ready,
good for the Google executives and
Swiss bankers he has coached in his
consulting career.
After getting a master's from divinity school, Shawn worked with positive psychologists as a research and
teaching assistant. His writing is easy
to understand, peppered with jokes
and anecdotes from his travel, and his
work essentially synthesizes scientific
research while providing practical
advice:
Write "gratitudes" — things you are
grateful for — on a daily basis, and
you can retrain your brain to look for
the positive.

I
Can We Be The Change?
awoke this morning, turned on
the news channel only to find the
same dissension in the world that
was present the day before. We live in
a world today with much anger, pain
and distrust of one another. We find
that natural, or shall I say the new
normal of world conditions, disasters
of fires, floods, hurricanes, tornado
and much more that are making the
lives of so many people disrupted and
painful.
I found the need to seek out answers as to what part of all this I have,
and what I might do to help make
this world of ours a better place. The
only place I could find the answer
would be The View From Within. So
I entered the world of silence within
and here is what I found. I found that
GOD in all wisdom has made all life
forms, humans, trees, flowers, the animals large and small, insects, and all
the other life forms of our world with
pure perfection. You see the God of
my understanding does not make imperfect life.
Then where would all the imperfections come from? This became a very
large question with a rather short answer. We humans are the ones who
create our own problems of this magnificent world in which we live. Perhaps we are not all aware of this. We
talk of all the bad conditions many
times. I wonder how many of us take
the time to understand that we come
into this world as pure perfection of a
divine creation. Our separation from
this higher being is the ego that lets
us believe we are much less then we
are. Sure the ego is important to us.
It allows us to live, day to day in the
life of our choosing and get from here
to there. Perhaps we should visit that
quiet place within all of us more frequently so that we might understand
the pure HIGHER potential we are
capable of? Would we not make a
more peaceful and loving world if we
could understand the divine nature of
a higher order? Could we make our
world a better environment for our
children and grand children? Could
we be the generation that would allow higher wisdom from within to be
greater than that of lower self ignorance? Could we say that we are the
generational shift to make a better
world ?
MAY THIS BE SO!
Be still and know of your greater
view from within.
if you are trying to concentrate.
But do write nice e-mails to people, praising them for their work or
thanking them for their help. That
can give you a boost.
Eliminate small obstacles to your
goals. The examples he gives from
his own life include a time when he
went to sleep in gym clothes so he was
workout-ready in the morning and
when he kept a guitar out in his room
instead of in the closet so he was more
likely to practice.
It all does seem relatively doable.
The real problem, Shawn explains in
his writing, his talk and to Oprah, is
that we have to understand that happiness comes before success, not after.
Because success is a moving target.
Being successful doesn't make you
happier; but being happier does make
you more successful.
Oprah's response to this insight: "I
love it, I love it, I love it."
One thing I have learned in the
years since college is not to let regret
fester. So I decided to call Shawn. To
congratulate him on his accomplishments and to catch up a bit. Beyond
that, I also wanted to say, as politely
as possible: I feel cheated. Now you're
this expert, and I missed out. What
could you have done to help me be
happier in college?
"One of the things Oprah said to
me, which is a crazy sentence — " he
started by saying, allowing that quoting Winfrey wisdom as delivered in
person is indeed not something everyone gets to do. Oprah told him,
possibly quoting someone else, in an
aphorism echo-chamber: "Forgiveness is giving up hope that the past
would be different."
Okay. So I didn't learn to be happy
from the happiness expert when I
knew him. Fine. Now what? The cure
for that, Shawn said, is this: "What
we have in the present is the ability
to change how we thought about the
past."
I asked him what he would do differently now, if he were to go back in
time and be in charge of a group of
college freshmen again.
He said he'd try to have a "gratitude
wall." And to "encourage people to do
meditation, tell students when they're

Prayerful Thoughts
By Linda Childs
Special to The New York Eagle News
Dear Father in Heaven,
Over the last several years I have worked in earnest to develop good spiritual
habits, to constantly grow in my relationship with You, Lord, to put You first and
foremost in everything I do, and in all areas of my life. In doing this I have found a
great deal of “rest” in You, and have relished the “peace that passes all understanding” I feel in my soul each and every day as we spend time together. I couldn’t have
made through all that I had to without this. Yet recently I found myself getting
stressed out over the health issue of a family member, not even realizing that I was
allowing it to affect me that way. A friend reminded me that I should “cast my
care into God’s hands and He would help me through it if I put my faith in Him”.
I was surprised to find that I wasn’t automatically doing that. Of course, when I
did put the issue in Your hands, indeed You did help me through it and relieved
me of the stress and burden.
In thinking about this, I have come to the conclusion that it wasn’t a matter
of unbelief or my not having enough faith but rather that I simply forgot in this
particular situation to bring it to You. Somehow, even though I pray every day
that the Holy Spirit fill my soul with Your peace, I still forgot to turn to You in this
case. I wonder how often this has happened that I was not aware of. I know that
You are in EVERY thing, every arena of our lives, in every issue, every problem,
always there ready and waiting to help. I just have to remember that. Sometimes
this can be more difficult than having faith. Please help me Lord to always think
of You first in all things. I realize that this is a habit which is not as fully formed
in me as I had thought, and I ask You to help me and anyone else who needs it,
to improve in this area.
Philippians 4: 6-7 - Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the
peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 5: 6-7 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth
for you.
Amen ■
down to journal about a positive experience."
I began to feel less cheated. I don't
think I would have been able to take
gratitude-writing seriously at age 18.
("I'm grateful there are cookies at this
meeting, because are you kidding me
with this?")
But most of all, he said, "I wish I
had known at the time and could have
verbalized to students: Happiness is
more of a choice than we think it is."
When Shawn and I were living in
the same dorm, we actually had more
in common than I thought. Specifically, the future happiness guru and I
were both unhappy.
Shawn told me that he was going
through depression himself in 2001
while attempting to counsel students.
He mentioned this to Oprah in the
final moments of what was supposed
to be a one-hour interview. They talked for another hour — it turned out
that depression was something Oprah
had struggled with, too.
Part of what got him out of his depression, he said, was using the tools
of positive psychology (a useful coincidence for someone who now makes
a living talking more than 100 times
a year about positive psychology).
Journaling, exercises in gratitude —
"it taught me that our behaviors actually matter," he told me.
Of everything Shawn said on the
phone, and in the two books of his
that I read, and in the TED talk that
I've now watched half a dozen times,
the most useful story he told me was
about what happened when he met
Oprah.
"She put up her hands — to be like
'Hi, Shawn' — but I couldn't tell if she
meant to give me a high-five or — "
Or a hug? Was Oprah hugging him?
"I did this awkward — I grabbed
her hands and didn't know how to
let go, so did this weird high-five hug
that I couldn't extricate from," Shawn
says, and I can picture it, a smiling
man grasping Oprah's hands, maybe
swaying a bit in the California breeze.
Mortified.
"It was hard to bring thoughts fully
together," he said, merely mortal, and
awkward, and fumbling in Oprah's
presence, no matter how many gratitudes one practices.
As we all would be.

seeded and coarsely chopped;
or one 28-ounce can quality
not too thin.
3. Cover bowl and refrigerate soup
until very cold, at least a couple of
hours or up to 2 days. Stir gazpacho
and ladle into bowls, or pour it at
the table from a wide-mouth pitcher.
Garnish with Avocado and Bell Pepper Relish. Serves 6 to 8.

Barbie's
Birthday
Now, at long last some NEW Barbie
dolls to coincide with her aging gracefully. These are a bit more realistic...
1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with
her own set of blended-lens fashion
frames in six wild colors half-frames
too!), neck chain and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart
Living.
2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's
bellybutton and watch her face turn
red! With hand held fan and tiny tissues.
3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's
hormone levels shift, see her whiskers
grow! Available with teensy tweezers
and magnifying mirror.
4. Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new,
roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news
on the tummy front, too: muumuus
with tummy support panels are included!
5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco
dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty
arched feet. Soothe her sores with the
pumice stone and plasters, then slip
on soft terry mules.
6. No More Wrinkles Barbie. Erase
those pesky crow's-feet and lip lines
with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle,
from Barbie's own line of exclusive
age-blasting cosmetics.
7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really
paying off as Barbie dusts off her old
high school megaphone to root for
Babs and Ken, Jr. With minivan in
robin’s egg blue or white, and cooler
filled with doughnut holes and fruit
punch.
8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time
to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change
and Fred (her personal trainer) is just
what the doctor ordered, along with
Prozac. They're hopping in her new
red Miata and heading for the Napa
Valley to open a B&B. Comes with
real tape of "Breaking Up Is Hard to
Do."
9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for
$199.99. Comes with Ken's house,
Ken's car, and Ken's boat.
10. Single Mom Barbie. There's not
much time for primping anymore!
Ken's shacked up with the Swedish au
pair in the Dream House and Barbie's
across town with Babs and Ken, Jr., in
a fourth-floor walkup. Barbie's selling
off her old gowns and accessories to
raise rent money. Complete garage
sale kit included.
11. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the
ultimate party girl. Now she does
twelve steps instead of dance steps!
Clean and sober, she's going to meetings religiously. Comes with a little
copy of The Big Book and six-pack of

and says that having this certification
not only furthers her dance education but also allows her to keep up
with new teaching methods and techniques to enhance her students’ dance
education. Though she is currently
employed at two studios, Samantha
says, “It’s always been a dream and
goal in life to own and operate my
own studio/studios—it would truly
be a dream come true! I love to create
a friendly, encouraging atmosphere
that will allow my students to succeed above and beyond. There's nothing more gratifying than to watch the
kids you’ve taught conquer one basic
step, and be so proud of themselves.”
If you have dance shoes from previous classes feel free to bring them
otherwise sneakers and moveable
clothing are recommended. Samantha says, “I look forward to meeting
all of you! Come have some dance
fun!” ■

special years together.
Charles served as Fire Chief of
the Perkinsville Fire Dept in the late
1940s, then spent many years working at Atlantic Refining Company
and Shay’s Service as a truck mechanic before retiring in the early 1980s.
Charles had many friends and loved
his local surroundings. He loved
keeping abreast of local happenings
at Shep’s Hardware and the American
Legion Hall. Charles also spent his
time pursuing his interests in gardening, baseball and Notre Dame Football.
Charles was predeceased by his parents Stephen and Irene Morsch; his
son, Gerry Morsch; his brothers, Vincent, Robert and Norman Morsch;
and his sister, Mary Kame.
Charles is survived by his oldest daughter Jeanne Hunt and husband Leslie of Wayland; son Donald

You are probably thinking of more

of collecting I love. And, no, it doesn't
matter that there's no brass in your

Q: Can you recommend a wall

A: Are we in the kitchen? I'm guessing we are. If you have subtle-colored
