What was to be a short routine city commission meeting
Wednesday evening lasted a bit
longer.
Hearing of the possibility
that full time recreation director
Tom Gennette, who is retiring,
might not be replaced, a number of people took their turns
during public comments to
voice their opposition.
Coaches, former coaches and
parents of children involved in
sports programs all gave their
reasons why the Gennette position should remain full time.
Safety, the need for someone to
organize programs, tournaments and provide direction
were among the reasons stated.
Those making comments
were Ashley Carlgren, Scandia;
Becky Kendall, Charity Brown,
Shirley LeDuc, Kenny Allen,
Concordia; and Kathleen Miller,
Aurora.Also during public comments, Amanda Jeardoe, who
lives in the 300 block of West
13th Street in Concordia, and
her father, Rod Hine, spoke to
the commission about a sewer
backup problem which led to
$2,472 in expenses some of
which were caused because a
manhole was covered by concrete. Later in the meeting commissioners
discussed
the
problem and found their complaint to be justified.
They voted unanimously to
pay
for
half
of
the
expense.Arlene
Clayton,
Belleville, also addressed the
commission, talking about earlier days at the Silver Arrow
School house west of town,
which Larry Blochlinger has
been restoring, when children
didn’t have ball fields or equipment but still had fun with
games and other activities.
In other business, the commission approved two requests
for improvement matching
grants to the Concordia BladeEmpire and El Puerto Mexican
Restaurant, which were presented by CloudCorp executive
director Ashley Hutchinson.
The Blade received $1,115.32 to
be used toward repair of its
awning. Total project cost is
$2,478.50.
El Puerto received $1,852.23
to be used for painting. Total
project cost is $4,116.07.
Following discussion on the
proposed ordinance establishing hours during which discharge of fireworks is permitted
within the city which would
have banned discharging fireworks after midnight, commissioners voted 3-2 against the
ordinance. Sam Sacco and Tim
Parker voted to approve the

Boy dies while
swimming in
Kansas lake
SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) - Family and
friends have gathered to remember a teen
who drowned at a neighborhood lake in
suburban Kansas City.
The Kansas City Star reports that more
than 100 friends, family members and fellow classmates of 17-year-old Treyvon
Mays met Wednesday night for a vigil at
Lakeview Estates in Shawnee.
Mays was at small lake there Tuesday
night when his friends lost track of him.
They weren’t sure whether he was still in
the water or had gone up to a house. After
reporting him missing, a dive team was
called, and crews quickly recovered his
body.
During the gathering, friends told of
Mays’ kindness to strangers and his passion for life. Mays’ cousin, Precious
Swygert, said what happened was “horrible” and described May as “a wonderful
man.”
Brownback endorses
reversing medicaid cuts
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Gov. Sam Brownback said Wednesday that he endorses
reversing a cut to Medicaid reimbursement
rates that he ordered earlier this year.
The announcement came a day after the
state cancelled a number of public meetings
that had been scheduled to discuss the 4
percent cut to providers in KanCare, the
state’s privatized Medicaid system, The
Topeka Capital-Journal reported . The
meetings had been scheduled Aug. 22-26 in
Topeka, Wichita, Pittsburg, Dodge City and
Overland Park.
Brownback said he wants lawmakers
next year instead to hike a tax on providers.
“At the end of the 2016 legislative session, we worked with health care organizations to find a solution to offset proposed
cuts to KanCare reimbursement by implementing an increase in the provider tax.
Those negotiations were not successful,
resulting in implementation of a 4 percent
cut in reimbursement rates,” Brownback
said.

ordinance and L yle Pounds,
Christy Hasch and Charles
Lambertz voted against it.
Commissioners
also
approved an ordinance recommended by the planning commission for a zoning change at
339 West 3rd where the property owner requested a zoning
change to allow for the removal
of a blighted house and replacement with an attached garage
on the existing house.
Larry Uri, city manager, said
in his comments toward the
close of the meeting that the
Gennette replacement situation
is being addressed and the city
is not looking at dropping or
changing any programs. He also
said the hospital is one of the
city’s main concerns right now.
Commissioners had an executive session to discuss nonelected personnel prior to
adjournment.

Trump makes first
battleground state ad buys
WASHINGTON (AP) - With his new leadership team promising a sharper message,
Donald Trump on Thursday moved to invest
nearly $5 million in battleground state
advertising.
The investment over the coming 10 days
in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania marks the Republican presidential
contender’s first major general election
expenditures in the swing states, which are
considered critical to his narrowing path to
the White House.
The advertising plans, confirmed by Kantar Media’s political ad tracker, come a day
after Trump announced another senior
staffing shakeup. Weary Republican leaders
hope the new leadership team can reverse
the New York businessman’s struggles even
as some worry it’s too little too late.
The Republican nominee tapped Stephen
Bannon ‚Äî a combative conservative media
executive with no presidential campaign
experience ‚Äî to serve as CEO of his White
House bid.
Pollster Kellyanne Conway, who has
known Trump for years and gained his trust
during her brief tenure working for him, will
serve as campaign manager.
“I think we’re going to sharpen the message,” Conway told CNN. “We’re going to
make sure Donald Trump is comfortable
about being in his own skin ‚Äî that he doesn’t lose that authenticity that you simply
can’t buy and a pollster can’t give you. Voters
know if you’re comfortable in your own skin.”
The Republican National Committee has
already conceded it may divert resources
away from the presidential contest favor of
vulnerable Senate and House candidates if
Trump’s standing does not improve in the
coming weeks. RNC chief strategist Sean
Spicer called Trump’s staffing changes the
“healthy growth of the campaign at a senior
level at a key point.”
He also urged caution as Trump’s new
team contemplates whether the fiery populism and freewheeling style that won him
the Republican nomination will give him a
better shot at the White House than uniting
his party and rallying moderate voters.
“I think people want him to be authentic,”
Spicer said. “They appreciate he’s not a
scripted politician, but there’s a recognition
that words do matter.”
The staffing changes are aimed in part at
marginalizing campaign chairman Paul
Manafort, a longtime Republican operative
who pushed Trump to moderate his tone and
improve relations with skeptical Republican
officials. In breaking with that approach,
Trump appears set on finishing the race on
his own terms - win or lose.
Trump’s divisive tone and weak poll numbers have triggered a rash of Republican
defections in recent weeks. Party loyalists
have grown increasingly frustrated with
Trump’s inability to stay focused on Democrat Hillary Clinton amid a series of self-created distractions.
“I don’t care if Donald Duck is running the
campaign,” said Henry Barbour, a Republican National committeeman from Mississippi. “If he can make this thing about Hillary
Clinton’s record and getting the country
back on track, that’s what’s going to win this
election.”
Despite the new advertising investment,
Trump is woefully behind: Clinton’s campaign has spent more than $75 million on
ads in the weeks since she effectively locked
up the nomination in early June, according
to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker.
Trump frequently boasts that his rival is
spending heavily while he’s put nothing into
advertising, banking so far on free wall-towall media coverage to carry his message.
While his campaign has been silent
through paid media, he’s had some assistance from outside political groups, Kantar
Media shows. One, called Rebuilding America Now, has spent about $9 million in the
past few weeks. The National Rifle Association’s political arm has also put more than
$4 million into anti-Clinton messages.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - A Brazilian police
official is telling The Associated Press that
American swimmer Ryan Lochte fabricated
a story about being robbed at gunpoint in
Rio de Janeiro.
The official, who has direct knowledge of
the investigation, spoke on the condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized
to speak about an ongoing probe.
He said that around 6 a.m. on Sunday,
Lochte, along with fellow swimmers Jack
Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen,
stopped at a gas station in Barra da Tijuca,
a suburb of Rio where many Olympic venues are located. One of the swimmers tried
but failed to open the door of an outside
bathroom.
A few of the swimmers then pushed on
the door and broke it. A security guard
appeared and confronted them, the official
said.
The official says the guard was armed
with a pistol, but he never took it out or
pointed it at the swimmers.
According to the official, the gas station
manager then arrived. Using a customer to
translate, the manager asked the swimmers
to pay for the broken door. After a discussion, they did pay him an unknown amount
of money and then left.
The official says that swimmers Conger
and Bentz, who were pulled off a plane going
back to the United States late Wednesday,
told police that the robbery story had been
fabricated.
Lochte first lied about the robbery to his
mother, Ileana Lochte, who spoke with
reporters, the police official said. That led to
news coverage of the incident and prompted
police attention.
A police news conference was scheduled
for Thursday afternoon.
Lochte’s lawyer, agent and father did not
immediately return messages seeking comment from the AP.
USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said
late Thursday morning that Lochte’s teammates were scheduling a time and place to
meet with authorities.
“All are represented by counsel and being
appropriately supported by the USOC and
the U.S. Consulate in Rio,” Sandusky said.
Mario Andrada, a spokesman for the Rio
organizers, said he was glad the facts about
the case emerged.
“Everybody saw and the story turned
around. So we are obviously relieved,”
Andrada said. “And we might even make
internal jokes about the fact. It’s so clearly
obvious that we had done nothing wrong in
that particular case.”
The situation escalated Wednesday when
Conger and Bentz were pulled from a flight
at the Rio de Janeiro airport amid uncertainty over what truly took place during the
late-night outing after Olympic swimming
wrapped up at the Rio Games.
Court officials had called for the four
swimmers’ passports to be seized, but
Lochte already had returned to the United
States before authorities could enforce the
decision.
Representatives from the U.S. consulate
arrived at the airport shortly after the swimmers were stopped from leaving the country
Wednesday night.

pauses task force

A baby born today has
a Sun in Leo and a Moon
in Aquarius if born before
12:34 p.m. (EST). Afterward,
the Moon will be in Pisces.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016:
This year will be exciting,
if nothing else. You’ll discover many new perspectives as
you become more and more
open. As a result, your ability to respond to others will
be heightened. A dynamic
quality becomes increasingly associated with you.
If you are single, the person
you attract today might not
be right for you in several
months because of your internal transformation. If you
are attached, you often feel
as if there is a push and
pull between you and your
sweetie. Accept and respect
your differences. AQUARIUS is always an important
friend to you.
The Stars Show the
Kind of Day You’ll Have:
5-Dynamic;
4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April
19)
**** You might want to
make a key person wake up
to certain facts. Emphasize
novel thinking. Reach out
to a friend who seems to be
wavering from one decision
to another. Help this person to relax and let go of the
need to declare his or her
view. Tonight: Make it an
early night.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20)
*** You’ll try to juggle
several different interests
all at once. A boss might
steal the show, but your
mind will be on a personal
matter anyway. You could
have difficulty attempting to
look as if you are involved.
What would make you happy in the long run? Tonight:
Share news.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20)
**** Reach out to a loved
one or dear friend at a distance. A conversation could
revive your energy and/or
offer you a unique perspective. You might change your
opinion on a key matter as
a result. Some research will
open up your mind. Tonight:
Treat yourself to some mind
candy.
CANCER (June 21-July
22)
**** One-on-one relating
will point to many different
possibilities. A higher-up
could be more irritable than
he or she has been in the
recent past. Don’t allow others to get to you, especially
if it involves a risk. Air your
feelings, and ask for what
you want. Tonight: Play out
a fantasy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
***** Relating directly to
others could be more provocative than usual. Some
people will be challenging,
no matter what you do or
say. One-on-one relating
forces you to detach and
see the situation from both
perspectives. Tonight: Let
someone else pick up the
tab.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
*** Take good care of
yourself, no matter what is
happening. Handle a problem directly. A partner who
does the unexpected might
stop you in your tracks. Tap
into your imagination in order to come up with a creative solution to a problem.
Tonight: Accept an offer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
***** Your imagination
takes the lead when you’re
making decisions. Others
could react to you in a way
that you might not have
anticipated. A friendship
seems to be transforming
into a more intimate relationship, or so it seems.
Share your feelings. Tonight: Get some work done.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21)
**** Getting going could
take some effort, as today’s
eclipse is very likely to drain
you. Your playfulness will
emerge in the afternoon,
when you feel re-energized
and much better. Allow your
lightness to shine through.
Tonight: Think about starting the weekend early.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21)
**** You might want to
rethink a decision you recently made, as you hear
unexpected news or new information. Others seek you
out, and you might feel as if
you are being pulled in two
different directions at once.
Tonight: Head home early if
possible.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19)
**** A financial matter is
still being debated back and
forth. You might have difficulty making a decision. A
family member could be less
than supportive. Be aware
of what others want. Open
up discussions to make
sure that you are on the
same page. Tonight: At a favorite place.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18)
**** You could be responding to the eclipse in
your sign. You seem to be
in the limelight right now,
but try not to step on others’ toes during a manic moment or two. Recognize the
power of a lunar eclipse and
how you might feel drained.
Tonight: Schedule a massage in the afternoon.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20)
**** Listen to others’
words. A lot has gone on
behind the scenes, and you
might need some time to digest what is happening. You
could be pushed to make a
decision. Don’t feel as if you
have to come up with an answer right away; sit on this
matter for now. Tonight: All
smiles.

GENEVA – Frustrated
and unhappy, the U.N. envoy for Syria abruptly cut
short a Thursday meeting
of its humanitarian task
force because aid convoys to besieged cities and
towns have been impeded
this month amid a surge
in fighting in the country’s
5-1/2-year civil war.
Staffan
de
Mistura
hoped to ratchet up pressure on world powers – notably the United States and
Russia – to help produce a
long-sought 48-hour pause
in fighting in the northern
city of Aleppo, in the face of
a recent government offensive. He said he suspended
the weekly meeting of the
task force after only eight
minutes because dozens of
U.N. priority areas for aid
shipments haven’t received
any for weeks.
“Not one single convoy
in one month has reached
any of the humanitarian
besieged areas – not one
single convoy,” de Mistura, who chairs the task
force, told reporters. “And
why? Because of one thing:
Fighting.”
His office later clarified
that some U.N. convoys
had been able to reach besieged, “hard-to-reach” or
other priority areas in the
past month, but none so
far during the month of August.

The Father of
the Orphan Train
Blade-Empire, Thursday, August 18, 2016 3
PEOPLE
By: Shaley K. George
“When a child of the
streets stands before you
in rags, with a tear-stained
face, you cannot easily forget
him. And yet, you are perplexed what to do. The human soul is difficult to interfere with. You hesitate how
far you should go.” Reverend
Charles Loring Brace
Charles Loring Brace was
born in Litchfield Connecticut in 1826. He was named
for his uncle, lawyer Charles
Greeley Loring, defender of
fugitive slave Thomas Sims.
His parents, John Brace and
Lucy Porter were from two
exceptional families. Both
families were multi-generational Americans with ties
to the Revolutionary war.
One of Brace’s ancestors,
Rufus King, signed the Declaration of Independence.
When the pair met, John
was the chief instructor at
the Litchfield Female Academy, one of the first secondary schools for girls in the
United States. The Academy
had been founded by John’s
aunt in 1792. One of John’s
most famous students, Harriet Beecher (Stowe), was
also the daughter of Lucy’s
brother-in-law, who she
happened to be in town visiting. The joining of the Brace
and Beecher families would
go much deeper than marriage. Although Harriet’s father, famed preacher Lyman
Beecher, moved to Boston
the year Brace was born, he
left behind the possibility of
making a career out of activist-ministry. A possibility
that Brace would embrace
for himself.
When
Charles
Loring
Brace was seven his family
moved to Hartford, Connecticut after his father became
the principal at Catharine
Beecher’s Hartford Female
Seminary. Brace’s education
truly began here as a young
boy surround by female students. This uncommon education’s influence shines
through Brace’s work later
in life with his dedication
for equal education for both
boys and girls. As a young
boy he was fascinated with
history, especially Roman
and Greek, and was constantly asking questions on
the subject. His father was
always happy to answer his
questions even at the most

of New York.
inopportune times. At one
point, Charles took to asking a long list of questions at
a series of dinners and his
father would not begin dinner until all the questions
had been asked. After one to
many dinners had gone cold
the girls threatened to kiss
Charles if he ruined another
dinner with his questions.
Unsurprisingly, little Charles
began asking his questions
at a better time.
Charles
Loring
Brace
would graduate from Yale in
1846 and received his graduate degree from the Union
Theological
Seminary
in
New York City in 1849. After graduation he left for Europe. It was in Europe that
his life’s mission took a dramatic turn. While traveling
in Hungary he was arrested
under the suspicion that he
was a spy. He was held, in
what he later described as
dungeon like conditions, for
weeks. It was during his imprisonment that he made a
deal with God. If he were he

home to work to better the

lives of those less fortunate.
That he would never allow
others to be treated so poorly. Brace made good on his
promise. Brace returned to
New York in the early 1850’s
and set out on his new mission to help the poor.
Brace began working at
the Five Points Mission, located in the Lower East Side
of Manhattan, under Reverend Pease. The area was the
poorest, most crime stricken
area of the city. Brace’s father was not pleased. John
Brace expected his son to become a city preacher, to live
a comfortable life and to influence the upper crust from
behind a pulpit. His son had
other ideas. In 1852, Brace
writes to his father, “If I am
only a city missionary with
two hundred dollars a year,
or anything else mean, but
really doing good, you should
be contented. I don’t care
a straw for a city pastor’s
place. I want to raise up the
outcast and homeless, to go
down among those who have
no friend or helper, and do
something for them of what
Christ has done for me. I
want to be true – true always.
Not orthodox, or according to
any one school or sect, but to
follow my own convictions of
truth. So did Christ…I bear
in mind that there was never,
apparently, a greater failure
than Christ’s own life.” (The
Life and Letters of Charles
Loring Brace) One year later
Brace would found the Children’s Aid Society of New
York City.
Brace’s long line of influential, strongminded family members would create
the building blocks for his
future. During his lifetime,
Reverend Charles Loring
Brace would oversee the
placing out of thousands of
children. He would tirelessly
defend a child’s right to exist outside orphanage walls.
He spent years lobbying for
the first child labor laws in
the country in the New York
State Capitol. Under Brace’s
leadership the Children’s Aid
Society opened both traditional and trade school for
students of every gender,
race, and ability. They created the first school nurse programs and had dental clinics
in every school they opened.
They offered the first free
school lunch programs. Children’s Aid Society branches
would open to help children
in need across the United
States. The embrace of the
CAS was felt not only in every
corner of New York City but
across the nation. After nearly forty years of service, Reverend Charles Loring Brace
passed away in 1890 at the
age of 64. The Children’s Aid
Society would continue on in
the capable hands of his two
sons, Charles and Robert.
Brace, of course, was
only human. He had many
faults. He was idealistic to a
fault, although he strived to
be non-denominational he
was partial to Christianity,
and he overlooked the grave
mistakes of others in his organization. Yet, faults and
all, Reverend Charles Loring
Brace left behind a legacy
that continues to influence
the lives of children even today. To Brace, children were
children. No matter where
they came from, who their
parents were, or their social
standing. Children deserved
a chance in life regardless of
their circumstances.

us whether we would pay for
the rehearsal dinner. Thinking this would consist of the
wedding party and 20 to 30
additional people, we agreed.
Well, now this "rehearsal
dinner" is about 70 folks,
including numerous "close
relatives" on the bride's side.
We are told that these people
are to be included, that there
is no room for negotiation
and that it shouldn't be an
issue because Jill's parents
are paying for the wedding.
I feel as if Jill has hijacked
the so-called rehearsal dinner for a pre-wedding family
dinner that is basically out
of our control. Is this what
weddings have come down
to these days? How should
my wife and I handle this?
— Budgeting Father of the
Groom
Dear Budgeting: A) Pick a
more affordable venue and/
or dining option. Buffets are
great for this situation, as
they're not billed per person.
Or B) ask Jill's family members to chip in. If they're truly that married to the idea
of having so many relatives
included, they ought to be
willing to help.
Dear Annie: Being the
dutiful husband that I am, I
drive my non-driving wife to
work every day, and I pick
her up after work. At her request, I also have been giving
a lift home in the evenings to
one of her co-workers. It's
not far out of our way, and
the fellow is pleasant and
likable — well, with the exception that he smells like
a farm animal and is totally
oblivious to that fact.
It seems to me this man
seldom bathes or changes
his clothes. I drive with the
windows open in the dead of
winter, and in the summer,
the odor is even more horrific. My wife acknowledges
this issue but doesn't want
to confront him or address
it. I have no problem talking
to this guy diplomatically
and letting him know what's
going on, but my wife has
strongly asked me not to. So
I suffer in silence.
How do I get out of this
pickle without upsetting my
wife or causing anyone any
further embarrassment? —
Need Oxygen
Dear Oxygen: It's time to
put this animal out to pasture. Your wife isn't considering the matter from your
nose's perspective. It's nice
enough you give them both
rides; you shouldn't have to
hold your breath the whole
way. Tell your wife that either she needs to come up
with a polite excuse for why
you can't give this man rides
anymore or you're going to
have a frank discussion with
him about personal hygiene.
If she doesn't like it, they can
both catch a lift on the hayride.
Dear Annie: I'd like to
reply to your recent correspondence with the son
struggling with what to do
after discovering his father
smoking again. Nicotine
Anonymous (once known
as Smokers Anonymous),
with support groups based
on the book "Twelve Steps
and Twelve Traditions," is a
resource for people seeking
freedom from nicotine addiction. Its website (http://
nicotine-anonymous.org)
has literature — including
a pamphlet that might be
helpful to your nonsmoking
reader, titled "Are You Concerned About Someone Who
Smokes or Chews Tobacco?"
Nicotine Anonymous support groups are free and ongoing. A person can join at
any time, and the only requirement is to have a desire
to stop using nicotine. There
are face-to-face meetings,
as well as daily internet and
telephone meetings, for any
member to connect with other members to offer and receive support. Thank you for
your understanding about
this highly addictive substance. — Former Smoker

EARLY HISTORY OF
CLOUD COUNTY
AN
ADVENTURE
BY
RAIL
BY H.E. SMITH
Now, it seemed to me, I
should have disclaimed at
the outset all knowledge of
Miss Herbert or her escort,
and so have spared her the
mortification that was sure
to ensue when she discovered her mistake. Should I
do so now? I glanced at her
as she sat, leaning her head
against the side of the car,
with a placid, rapt smile
lighting up her face, while
floating from her lips across
to me came a low, soft humming of that tender ballad,
“Then you’ll remember me.”
Instantly I decided
“No.” If I were to lean
over and say, “Miss Herbert,
there has been a mistake
made. I am not the friend
you expected to meet, but a
total stranger,” all that happy look would fade away,
and in its stead would come
a startled, frightened one.
Instead of being merry and
chatty, she would grow icy
and forbidding.
On and on the train flew,
like some fabled fiery monster. The gray twilight was
fast merging into more somber night, when far in the
hazy distance gleamed the
myriad lights of B.
A little further on, and
with a hoarse shriek we shot
into the depot, and our journey was an accomplished
fact. “Now, Miss Herbert,” I
said, lifting down her shawls
from the rack, “if you will
wait here until I secure a
carriage, I will return and
take you to the final end of
your journey.”
“Why,” she answered,
“won’t the carriage be here
to meet us? Mr. Austin said
expressly, in Mary’s letter,
that if by any accident you
were prevented from coming to me, I would be sure to
find the carriage in waiting.”
“To be sure. That is another of my stupid blunders.
I am unaccountable absentminded. Of course the carriage is here! And off I started
in search of it, quite elated
that at last I had learned
the name of Miss Fanny’s
friend; knowing that all else
was easy. The carriage was
found, and very soon my
companion and I were snugly ensconced with it.

Wildfire brings
destruction and
uncertainty
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.
(AP) – A ferocious wildfire had
swallowed up many homes
as it spread across 40 square
miles of mountain and desert
east of Los Angeles. Exactly
how many, however, and
to whom they belonged, remained uncertain.
Firefighters were faced
with the difficult task of tallying that damage while still
battling the huge, unruly
blaze.
That left evacuees in a
cruel limbo, forced to spend
another
night
wondering whether anything they
owned was still intact.
They included Shawn
Brady, who had been told by
a neighbor that flames had
raged down their street. But
he was waiting for official
word.
“What I’ve been told is that
flames are currently ripping
through my house,” said
Brady, a dockworker who
lives on the outskirts of the
evacuated town of Wrightwood with his mother, sister
and a dog.
“I’m trying to remain optimistic,” Brady said as he sat
outside a shelter for evacuees in Fontana. “It’s the not
knowing that’s the worst.”
San Bernardino County
fire officials could only confirm that dozens of structures had burned, and that
big numbers are likely.
“There will be a lot of families that come home to nothing,” county Fire Chief Mark
Hartwig said Wednesday after flying over a fire scene he
described as “devastating.”
“It hit hard. It hit fast. It
hit with an intensity that we
hadn’t seen before,” he said.
Firefighters had at least
established a foothold of control of the blaze the day after
it broke out for unknown reasons in the Cajon Pass near
Interstate 15, the vital artery
between Los Angeles and Las
Vegas. The fire was 4 percent
contained on Wednesday.
The California Highway
Patrol reopened I-15 late
Wednesday night, while the
southbound side remained
closed.
Those assessing damage
were also looking for dead
and injured, but none had
been reported yet. Cadaver
dogs were searching the ruins for anyone who was overrun by the flames.
Five years of drought have
turned the state’s wildlands
into a tinder box, with eight
fires currently burning from
Shasta County in the far
north to Camp Pendleton
just north of San Diego.
Residents like Vi Delgado and her daughter April
Christy were also among
those wondering whether their home was intact,
though they had found out
that their pets and the shelter animals they take care of
had been saved. They had
been through earlier wildfires, but nothing like this
one.
“No joke, we were literally being chased by the
fire,” Christy said in a voice
choked with emotion in a
minivan outside the Fontana
evacuation center. “You’ve
got flames on the side of you.
You’ve got flames behind
you.”
More than 34,000 homes
and about 82,000 people
were under evacuation warnings as firefighters concentrated their efforts on saving homes in the mountain
communities of Lytle Creek,
Wrightwood and Phelan.
They implored residents not
to think twice if told to leave,
but it appears many were
staying.
“From reports that we
were hearing, possibly up to
half didn’t leave,” said Lyn
Sieliet, a U.S. Forest Service
spokeswoman.
“It does change the way
that we can fight fire,” she
added, “Now we have to worry about the people in there
as well as trying to protect
the structures and trying to
build a line of defense as the
fire comes toward that area.”
A fleet of 10 air tankers
and 15 helicopters and an
army of 1,500 firefighters
took on the blaze, many of
them coming fresh from other wildfires around the state.
Another large fire, north
of San Francisco, was fading. The 6-square-mile blaze
was 50 percent contained
after destroying 268 structures, including 175 homes
and eight businesses, in the
working-class community of
Lower Lake over the weekend.
Damin Pashilk, 40, is
charged with starting the
blaze along with more than a
dozen other counts of arson
and one of attempted arson
in connection with fires dating back to July 2015. He appeared in court on Wednesday, but he did not enter a
plea.
Looking Back
Today is Thursday, Aug. 18, the 231st day of 2016.
There are 135 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Aug. 18, 1846, during the Mexican-American War,
U.S. forces led by Gen. Stephen W. Kearny occupied Santa
Fe in present-day New Mexico.
On this date:
• In 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child of English
parents to be born in present-day America, on what is now
Roanoke Island in North Carolina. (However, the Roanoke
colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.)
• In 1838, the first marine expedition sponsored by the
U.S. government set sail from Hampton Roads, Virginia; the
crews traveled the southern Pacific Ocean, gathering scientific information.
• In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Proclamation of Neutrality, aimed at keeping the United States out
of World War I.
• In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing all American women’s right to vote, was ratified as
Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it.
• In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian
Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the
Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and
Canada.
• In 1954, during the Eisenhower administration, Assistant Secretary of Labor James Ernest Wilkins became the
first black official to attend a meeting of the president’s Cabinet as he sat in for Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell.
• In 1958, the novel “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov was first
published in New York by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, almost three
years after it was originally published in Paris.
• In 1963, James Meredith became the first black student
to graduate from the University of Mississippi.
• In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel,
New York, wound to a close after three nights with a midmorning set by Jimi Hendrix.
• In 1976, two U.S. Army officers were killed in Korea’s
demilitarized zone as a group of North Korean soldiers wielding axes and metal pikes attacked U.S. and South Korean
soldiers.
• In 1983, Hurricane Alicia slammed into the Texas coast,
leaving 21 dead and causing more than a billion dollars’
worth of damage. The Kansas City Royals defeated the New
York Yankees, 5-4, in the completion of the “pine-tar” game
in just 12 minutes.
• In 1988, Vice President George H.W. Bush accepted the
presidential nomination of his party at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans.
Ten years ago: President George W. Bush criticized a federal court ruling the day before that his warrantless wiretapping program was unconstitutional, declaring that opponents did not understand “the nature of the world in which
we live.” Financially struggling Ford Motor Co. said it would
temporarily halt production at ten assembly plants.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama and European
leaders demanded that Syrian President Bashar Assad resign, saying his brutal suppression of his people made him
unfit to lead. Vice President Joe Biden met with Chinese Vice
President Xi Jinping in Beijing. A storm swept through a
popular open-air music festival in Hasselt, Belgium, killing
five people.
One year ago: The Food and Drug Administration approved Addyi, the world’s first prescription drug designed to
boost sexual desire in women. Bud Yorkin, a director and
producer who helped forge a new brand of topical TV comedy
with the 1970s hit “All in the Family,” died in Los Angeles at
age 89.

More Highlights in History
• In 1976, the first of eight shootings ascribed to the serial killer known as “Son of Sam” occurred on a street in The
Bronx, New York, as a gunman killed 18-year-old Donna
Lauria and wounded her friend, 19-year-old Jody Valenti.
(In a yearlong reign of terror, the shooter also known as the
“.44 Caliber Killer” would claim five more lives and wound
six more people until the arrest of David Berkowitz, who is
serving a life prison sentence.)
• In 1588, the English attacked the Spanish Armada in
the Battle of Gravelines, resulting in an English victory.
• In 1890, artist Vincent van Gogh, 37, died of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound in Auvers-sur-Oise,
France.
• In 1900, Italian King Humbert I was assassinated by an
anarchist; he was succeeded by his son, Victor Emmanuel
III.
• In 1914, transcontinental telephone service in the U.S.
became operational with the first test conversation between
New York and San Francisco. Massachusetts’ Cape Cod
Canal, offering a shortcut across the base of the peninsula,
was officially opened to shipping traffic.

Royals’ Hosmer finishes dramatic night with 9th-inning homer
DETROIT (AP) - Eric
Hosmer has been trying to
find his way out of a long
slump, and coming to
Detroit may have done the
trick.
A night after homering in
a win over the Tigers, Hosmer spent most of Wednesday torturing the Comerica
Park crowd.
He walked in the fifth
inning to break up Anibal
Sanchez’s perfect game,
doubled in the seventh to
end Sanchez’s no-hit bid,
then hit a tie-breaking tworun homer in the ninth to
lead the Kansas City Royals
to a 4-1 victory over Detroit
and a three-game sweep.
“I don’t think we’ve
swept a series here in my
career - we haven’t even
won more than a couple,”
he said. “I’ve been struggling for about a month
now, but it has started to
come around, and tonight
felt really good.”
Sanchez threw seven
shutout
innings
after
allowing eight runs in four
innings in his previous
start. He struck out six and
walked two Wednesday.
“That’s as good as I’ve
ever seen Anibal Sanchez
throw the ball,” Royals
manager Ned Yost said. “I
had seen what he had done
in his last start, but I know
that when he’s on, he has
ridiculous command of his
fastball and a phenomenal
changeup. That’s what he
had tonight.”
Sanchez agreed.
“Today, everything was
coming out good,” he said.
“I felt good all game, and I
just wanted to keep the
score at 1-0. I wasn’t thinking about the no-hitter.”
The Tigers have lost
eight of their last 10 games.
“I’m not whining - we
have to come out and win a
game tomorrow,” Tigers
manager Brad Ausmus
said. “They came up with
big hits late tonight and we
didn’t. That was the difference.”
Justin Wilson replaced
Sanchez for the eighth with
a 1-0 lead and allowed a
tying homer to Alex Gordon
on his first pitch.
In the ninth, Shane
Greene (2-3) allowed a oneout single to Lorenzo Cain
before Hosmer’s line drive
into the right-field stands.
Drew Butera added an RBI
single later in the inning.
“I made a bad pitch to a
good hitter,” Greene said.
“It was a cutter and I tried
to get too perfect with it. It
happens.”
Matt Strahm (1-0) got
his first career win with 1
2/3 scoreless innings of
relief, and Kelvin Herrera
pitched the ninth for his
sixth save.
Victor Martinez gave the
Tigers a 1-0 lead in the second with a homer over the
365-foot sign in right-center field. Detroit had 11
more baserunners, but hit
into two double plays and
stranded nine.
The Royals didn’t come
close to getting a runner in
the first four innings, but
Hosmer and Gordon both
drew walks in the fifth.
Sanchez got through the
inning without a hit, but
was already at 80 pitches,
and he came into the game
having allowed a 1.080
OPS after his 75th pitch.
Sanchez got through the
sixth on eight pitches, then
retired the first two batters
in the seventh without
trouble, but Hosmer lined a
first-pitch curveball into
the left-center field gap to
end the drama.

“Awesome Hour” nets US six olympic medals
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Tianna Bartoletta kicked
off her country’s whirlwind
run of medals on the night.
So, by all rights, she
should get to name it.
Fittingly,
the
newly
crowned Olympic long
jump champion went with
“Awesome Hour.”
In a span of about 60
minutes Wednesday night,
U.S. athletes hauled in a
bevy of medals: Bartoletta
and Brittney Reese went 12 in the long jump, Tori
Bowie captured a bronze in
the 200 and Brianna
Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi
Castlin swept the medals in
the 100-meter hurdles - a
feat that’s never been
accomplished in that event.
A banner evening, for
sure. The nation entered
the night with 13 medals
and left the track with a
total of 19 - five gold, seven
silver, seven bronze.
“It was an awesome
hour,” Bartoletta said.
She started things off by
unseating
Reese,
the
defending Olympic champion, in the long jump.
Moments later, Bowie won
her second medal in Rio by
taking bronze in the 200
meters. Not long after that,
the hurdlers made history.
This was the seventh
medals sweep by the U.S.
track team in the Olympics
and the 23rd for U.S.
women in the history of the
Summer Games.
And yes, they realized
what their fellow Americans were up to. Ali
watched Bowie, her suitemate in Rio, bring home
another medal as the hurdler waited to take the
track.
That fired Ali up. And
then her hurdles teammates did the same thing.
“They smiled at me and
were like, ‘It’s time. Do your
part,’” Ali said. “I need to go
out there and do my part.
For Team USA, I knew it
would be a great thing.”
How about this for an
early birthday present:
About an hour after the
race Rollins turned 25.
“I tried to feed off all the
positive energy from Team
USA,” Rollins said. “We
were able to come out here
and fulfill our dreams. It
was an amazing opportunity. I was trying to enjoy
each and every moment.
I’m just happy to share the
moment with Kristi and
Nia.”
And
to
think,
the
evening got off on the
wrong foot when Justin
Gatlin surprisingly went
out in the semifinals of the
200.
There went a good shot
at an Olympic medal. There
went another showdown
with Usain Bolt.
An ankle injury hampered
the
34-year -old
Gatlin, who won a silver
medal Sunday in the 100.
“For me, it has been an
honor to be able to come
out here,” Gatlin said. “At
the end of the day, seeing
all of these young guys and
young ladies out here doing
a great job, it’s an honor to
be able to be a part of the
team and run for my country.”
Earlier in the day, Evan
Jager earned silver in the
3,000-meter steeplechase
- America’s first medal in
that event since 1984. A
hint of things to come.
“Every single time I saw
someone on the (medal)
stand, I tried not to get
emotional,” Castlin said. “I
was like, ‘I could get on the
stand.’ It always feels good
to see your teammates
doing well.
“We’re from all different
states and universities. It
feels good to come out and
do a great job.”
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) ‚Devastated. Unable to
sleep. Cursing and crying
and blaming herself after
falling short of her goal to
win a fourth consecutive
Olympic gold medal.
Staggered by her firstever loss at the Summer
Games, behind by one set
in the bronze medal match
and trailing in the second,
Jennings
Kerri
Walsh
pulled herself together on
the Copacabana sand to
become the most-decorated
beach volleyball player in
the sport’s Olympic history.
“It’s crazy what 24 hours
can do,” Walsh Jennings
said after she and April
Ross beat Brazil’s Talita
and Larissa 17-21, 21-17,
15-9 on Wednesday night.
“This is a highlight of my
athletic career, without a
doubt.”
Walsh Jennings struggled with her passing
throughout
the
medal
round, including on Tuesday night when the pair lost
to Brazil’s second-seeded
team. But the three-time
champion delivered a pair
of blocks for the final two
points to clinch the bronze.
After hugging their opponents, Walsh Jennings
slapped hands with some
courtside volunteers and
then found a U.S. cheering
section in the corner of the
12,000-seat arena built on
the beach that serves as the
sport’s spiritual home.
Wrapping themselves in
an American flag, the partners gave each other another long embrace.
“Devastating is a pretty
huge word, but it pretty
much captures how I felt
last night,” Walsh Jennings
said. “We came here to be
our best, and I was subpar.”
The victory left Walsh
Jennings with three gold
medals and a bronze,
breaking a tie with former
partner Misty May-Treanor
as the most successful
player in Olympic beach
volleyball history.
“I think she’s the best
player that we have for
beach volleyball for all
(time),” Talita said. “If you
ask everybody, everybody
will say ‘Kerri.’”
With the win, the Americans avoided a medal
shutout in a sport it invented and - with Brazil - has
dominated since beach volleyball was added to the
Olympics in 1996.
The United States have
won six of a possible 12
gold medals in the sport
and 10 overall. Brazil has
clinched 13 medals - only
two gold, with a chance to
add two more in Rio.
But with her perfect
Olympic record - Walsh
Jennings and May-Treanor
only lost one set while
sweeping to three gold
medals - the loss on Tuesday night left the three-time
champion in a funk.
Walsh Jennings, Ross rebound to win bronze medal
US basketball routs Argentina, moves into semifinals
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) The nail-biters ended for the
U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team.
So did a golden era of
international basketball.
Emphatically stopping a
stretch of three straight close
games,
the
Americans
advanced to the semifinals
by sprinting past Manu
Ginobili and Argentina, 10578 on Wednesday night.
In front of a chanting, flagwaving crowd of Argentines
who came to throw a raucous
farewell party for their Golden Generation, the Americans delivered their most
complete performance in
Rio.
“What a remarkable run
by Argentina and so we knew
we had to match that energy
tonight. I thought we did,”
U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski
said.
Turning a slow start into
an early ending with a 27-2
run in the first half, the
Americans put away one old
rival and set up a meeting
with another. They will play
Spain on Friday in a rematch
of the last two gold-medal
games. Australia meets Serbia in the other semifinal.
Kevin Durant scored 27
points for the Americans,
who had played three
straight close games for the
first time under Krzyzewski,
setting off a round of questions at home and in Rio de
Janeiro about what was
wrong with them.
The answer might be
nothing. At least there wasn’t
against Argentina.
“We wanted to come out
and our whole thing was
dominating,”
forward
Carmelo Anthony said.
The Americans eliminated
Argentina for the third
straight Olympics, this time
ending not only a tournament run for the Argentines
but also a couple careers.
Ginobili, 39, and longtime
36-year-old
teammate
Andres Nocioni retired from
international competition
after the game, 12 years after
winning gold in Athens.
“We had a chance to grow
up together and do some
good things, win some games
together. It was fun. It’s a lot
of years,” said Luis Scola,
who is also 36 but plans to
keep playing. “We formed
part of something unique we
did for our country and it’s
going to be there. Sometimes
we’re not going to win, like
today, sometimes we won
but we fought together for
many years.”
Ginobili scored 14 points
in his final game in Argentina’s blue and white, tearing
up after receiving applause
from his fans and warm
wishes from his opponents.
“They congratulated me
and I’m very proud of their
words,” Ginobili said. “They
were very kind, very respectful and when legends of the
game showed their respect, it
has an extra value.”
John surgery, was scheduled to start Wednesday
night for Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

strained left biceps. He didn’t look entirely comfortable, shaking his arm after
swings, but hit a 112 mph
groundball in the third
inning, per Statcast. ... LF
Tyler Collins left the game
after seven innings with a
right-knee contusion. He
had been hit by Yordano
Ventura’s 99 mph fastball
in the sixth, and Ausmus
said he’s expected to miss a
few games.
FORGIVING FANS
Erick Aybar got a loud
cheer from the Comerica
Park crowd when he batted
for the first time as a Tiger
- a change from his usual
greeting in Detroit. In
2011, Aybar bunted to try
to break up Justin Verlander’s no-hitter in the eighth
inning, drawing an angry
response from both the
Tigers ace and the fans.
Verlander joked that the
Tigers trading for Aybar on
Tuesday made him glad he
didn’t retaliate.
“I told him I was going to
hit him, but I never did,”
Verlander said. “So that
will make things easier in
the clubhouse.”

Sports in brief
OLYMPICS
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - It’s no easy thing to push Usain
Bolt, even in an Olympic warm-up race. Might be even
tougher upstaging him.
That happened on a wild night in track that began with
the Jamaican star wagging his finger at a brash up-andcomer who dared challenge him in the 200-meter semifinals. It kept going with another Jamaican, Elaine
Thompson, completing the first 100-200 women’s double
since 1988. And it closed with an American sweep of the
hurdles to put the cherry on top of a seven-medal day for
the United States on the track.
PRO FOOTBALL
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - Long-time New York Jets
fan Larry David made a cameo appearance at the team’s
training camp practice, and the creator of “Seinfeld” and
“Curb Your Enthusiasm” got to meet his favorite cast of
characters.
That included quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, whom
David recently begged during a radio interview to shave his
bushy beard. Well, Fitzpatrick actually has trimmed it
since then and he was eager to see what David thought.
Fitzpatrick chatted with David, who also has said he
thinks he could be an NFL offensive coordinator, and mentioned his appearance in 2012 on the FX sitcom “The
League,” which was about a group of friends and their fantasy football league.
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians
was released from the hospital after an overnight stay and
pronounced the stomach problem that sent him there “no
big deal.”
He planned to heed doctors’ advice to take it easy, he
said before the team held another joint practice with the
San Diego Chargers. Arians left the practice after about a
half hour.
The 63-year-old coach was taken to the hospital Tuesday night after complaining of stomach pain as the Cardinals prepared for a joint practice with the Chargers at
Qualcomm Stadium.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Nancy Bidwill, wife of Arizona Cardinals owner William “Bill” Bidwill, has died after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 84.
Her son, Cardinals President Michael Bidwill,
announced her passing in a statement, saying she died
Wednesday morning surrounded by close family members.
The Bidwills were married for nearly 56 years.
Eighty-five-year-old Bill Bidwill retains the title of owner
but Michael has been in charge of daily operation of the
franchise for several years. Michael became president of
the club in 2007.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Three Miami Dolphins and
nearly two dozen other VIPs simultaneously smashed guitars in the end zone to christen Hard Rock Stadium as the
new name for the team’s home.
Wide receiver Jarvis Landry, defensive tackle
Ndamukong Suh, safety Reshad Jones and rapper Pitbull
were involved in the ceremonial smashing. It came at the
end of a news conference to announce the naming-rights
deal that is for nearly $250 million over 18 years.
The agreement will help pay for a nearly completed $500
million stadium renovation that includes a canopy over the
stands and new scoreboards.
BASEBALL
HOUSTON (AP) - Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner says
monitoring social media has convinced him New York fans
are ready to embrace a Baby Bombers team that includes
young players mixed with veterans.
Speaking at a major league owners meeting, Steinbrenner says the last week before Alex Rodriguez’s retirement
“was unfortunate at times” and the departures of A-Rod
and Carlos Beltran, who was traded, were necessary to
clear a path for rookies Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and
Tyler Austin.
He praised veteran catcher Brian McCann, who has lost
some playing time to Sanchez, and said of McCann’s
future: “We’ll cross that bridge in the offseason when we
come to it.”

Lava cascades into sea in vivid display
VOLCANOES NATIONAL
PARK, Hawaii (AP) – For the
first time in three years, lava
from a volcano on Hawaii’s
Big Island has crept down
miles of mountainside and
is dripping into the Pacific
Ocean – where it’s creating
new land and a stunning
show for visitors.
Thousands
of
people
from around the world have
swarmed Volcanoes National
Park by land, sea and air to
view the lava. They’re also
hearing and smelling it.
The billowy, bright-orange lava crackles and hisses, and reeks of sulfur and
scorched earth, as it oozes
across the rugged landscape
and eventually off steep,
seaside cliffs. When the hot
rocks hit the water, they expel plumes of steam and gas
– and sometimes explode,
sending chunks of searing
debris flying through the air.
The 2,000-degree molten
rock is from Kilauea, one of
the world’s most active volcanoes. Its Puu Oo vent began erupting in the 1980s
and periodically pushes
enough lava seaward that
people can access it.
Reaching the flow requires a boat, a helicopter
or strong legs – the hike to
the entry point, where the
lava meets the sea, is 10
miles roundtrip on a gravel
road surrounded by miles of
treacherous, hard lava rock.
Pablo Aguayo, of Santiago, Chile, took a sunrise
boat tour of the flow earlier
this month.
“It’s pretty amazing,” he
said. “You start in the middle of the ocean in the darkness, and you end up in this
beautiful lava falls.”
Aguayo said he could

feel the lava’s heat, and it
smelled “super funny.”
“It’s like welding something,” he said. “We have
many volcanoes back home
in Chile. We have plenty.
But nothing like this.”
His tour boat was a 42foot aluminum catamaran
operated by Lava Ocean
Tours owner Shane Turpin,
who said he navigates to
within a few yards of the entry point for the best view.
On Aug. 9, a second
branch of lava started to
spill into the ocean, giving
Turpin’s passengers a look
at two lava flows about 200
yards apart.
“Just to have one drip (of
lava) touching the ocean is
awesome,” Turpin said as
people snapped photos of
the dual flows. “But to get a
show like you’re getting this
morning, well, it sets the
bar pretty high for a second
trip.”
Volcanoes National Park
has seen an increase of
about 1,000 to 1,500 visitors per day since the current lava flow reached the
sea, boosting attendance to
about 6,000 people daily, officials said.
Park spokeswoman Jessica Ferracane warns the area
can be dangerous.
Hikers can get close
enough that the soles of
their shoes get hot. Also, the
area is flanked by hardened
lava rock as sharp as glass.
Many people have suffered
lacerations while trying to
cross the jagged landscape,
Ferracane said.
“Everybody wants to see
the lava flow, but not everybody should be hiking out
there,” she said.
Additionally, when the
lava reaches the ocean, it
reacts with the saltwater

and produces harmful hydrochloric acid, which wafts
into the air, said Janet Babb,
a U.S. Geological Survey geologist at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
As it streams into the water, the lava creates a new
landscape in a matter of moments. According to the U.S.
Geological Survey, the Puu
Oo flow alone has created
about 500 acres of new land
since it began erupting. The
flow that began in May has
created about 8 new acres.
Most of Kilauea’s activity
has been nonexplosive, but
a 1924 eruption hurled ash
and 10-ton rocks into the
sky and left a man dead.
The 1983 Puu Oo vent
eruption resulted in lava
fountains soaring over 1,500
feet high. In the decades
since, the lava flow has buried 48 square miles of land
and destroyed many homes.

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks
are holding steady Thursday
as health care stocks skid but
the continuing rebound in oil
prices gives energy companies
a lift. Investors have resisted
making big moves in recent
days. Retail giant Wal-Mart is
rising after it reported strong
second-quarter results and
raised its annual estimates.
KEEPING SCORE: The
Dow Jones industrial average gave up 24 points, or
0.1 percent, to 18,550 as of
12:45 p.m. Eastern time. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 was
unchanged at 2,182. The
Nasdaq composite added 1
point to 5,229. Stocks have
bobbed up and down for more
than a week and they finished
a bit higher Wednesday after
the Federal Reserve released
minutes from its late July
meeting. Stocks made small
gains as investors felt the Fed
is in no hurry to raise interest
rates again.

Self-absorbed. It’s all about me. I am the center of the
universe.
All of these words come to mind when today’s endless stream of motorists talk, tweet and Face-book while
speeding down the boulevard. This recent phenomenon
has become epidemic and it’s spreading.
Harsh words?
Certainly, but there are also harsh consequences in
lives lost, maimed and injured permanently in traffic accidents caused by those who place their own need to continually talk or text on the phone before focusing on the
task at hand – driving safely and consciously.
In 2014, 3,179 people were killed and an estimated
431,000 more were injured in motor vehicle crashes
involving distracted drivers, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Association. Ten percent of all
drivers 15-19 years of age involved in fatal crashes were
reported as distracted at the time of the crashes.
At any given moment across America, approximately
660,000 drivers use cell phones or manipulate electronic
devices while driving. Those who aren’t calling or texting
are distracted while driving by something else in one or
both of their mitts. You know a mascara brush, a hamburger, a liter of water or a tablet while they steer with
their knees.
Recent research at Virginia Tech revealed an almost
3-fold increase in the odds of crashing or nearly crashing
when dialing a hand-held phone while driving. Risk associated with text messaging may be much higher based on
a new study of truck drivers. The main finding here was a
23-fold increase in the odds of crashing, nearly crashing
or drifting from a travel lane among truckers who texted
while driving.
This list continues.
Whatever happened to the conscientious and courteous driver of yesteryear?
How many motorists today continually scan the road
and sidewalks in front of them for kids biking or walking
down the sidewalk? How about a watchful eye for the elderly couple out for an early morning stroll? Or someone
else walking his or her dog?
Such conduct while driving today has become the exception rather than the rule. Did I mention before that
driving today is all about me getting where I need to go?
What we need on our streets and highways today are
motorists with the intelligence to understand that driving a car, pickup, motorcycle, bus, van, SUV or anything
you crawl behind the wheel and drive requires your undivided attention.
With the ever-growing number of people on roads today, driving must be tuned in to the business of driving.
This means no phone calls, no meals, no makeup. Just
drive.
There’s seldom a phone in my car. When I carry one, I
never call or answer it when I’m behind the wheel. I conduct calls when I leave the car after I arrive alive.
I have no desire to talk on the phone while I drive. If
I had my druthers, I wouldn’t carry a phone in my vehicle. My car functions the way it was intended without
one. Anyway, I prefer to be ever vigilant looking out for
all those motorists who are doing everything else in their
cars but driving.
Used to be one of the last bastions of individual freedom was cruising in your car with the windows down,
the radio playing your favorite song and the wind whistling through your hair. Every so often, you’d raise your
index finger to signal, “Hey” to an upcoming motorist
who’d reply in kind.
Doesn’t happen much today. More than likely the
only finger you’ll see in 2016 is the middle one and it
ain’t raised to say hello.
Still I can dream, but not behind the wheel – that’s
where I drive.
