Memorializing all
who keep us safe
As the Cleveland and Bradley

Memorial Day today, it is important to understand why it is done,
for whom and the importance of
keeping the holiday sacred. See

today’s edition.

The Bill Norwood Service Award was
presented to Robert Lee Goins today
at Bradley County’s annual Memorial
Day ceremony on the Courthouse
Plaza.
Goins was nominated for his 19
years of volunteer service in caring for
the veterans area of Fort Hill
Cemetery.
Award committee member Cid
Heidel said the recipient was selected
based on the type and duration of
service to veterans or their families.
“There was consistent agreement
that this was the best one,” Heidel
said of the committee’s decision.
Heidel said Goins levels the graves,
cleans headstones, trims shrubbery,
removes old flags and sets the headstones.
Goins’ father is one of many veterans buried in the fenced-in area of the
cemetery designated for local veterans.
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland also
recognized Goins for his efforts in
2006.
Goins was recommended by
Bradley County Veterans Affairs
Director Larry McDaris.
In a previous interview with the
Cleveland Daily Banner, Goins said
taking care of the Veterans Cemetery
was a way to honor the veterans.
“I do this now because I feel like I
should do something for these guys.
It’s the least I can do since I didn’t get
to serve,” Goins said.
Goins had received a draft notice in
1968, but was in the hospital recoverSee GOINS, Page 9

Woman observes
her 30th in honor
of deceased vets
By CHRISTY ARMSTRONG
Banner Staff Writer
On a cold and rainy March 4, Heather Lucas found herself
walking through a cemetery.
Wrapped in a raincoat and boots, she trudged among the
tombstones clutching a handful of yellow roses and letters she
had carefully tucked into plastic baggies to keep dry.
It was her 30th birthday, and she had chosen to celebrate by
commemorating the lives of who did not live to see the age of
30, specifically 30 military servicemen and servicewomen who
died protecting their country.
“Thirty is, for the most part, kind of a hard age,” Lucas said.
Just before she was to hit the milestone, she came to the
realization she was dissatisfied with where she was in life.
Her career and other aspects of it had simply not gone to

A time to remember — that’s what
Memorial Day is all about.
For one Cleveland family, the information on their patriarch’s service in
World War II is limited.
Richard Tanksley did not talk about
his service when he came back from
World War II, except to pass on to his
children and his grandchildren that he
had indeed contributed to the cause.
Daughter Ruth Ann Jones thought he
had simply been a clerk for the U.S.
Army Air Corps.
“Whenever I called to get him some
help through the Veterans
Administration, one of the guys in
Nashville said … he was a gunner on a
B-29, and I thought, ‘Are you serious?’”
Jones said. “Because Dad never talked
about anything. A lot of this stuff I
found out in trying to get him help
through the Veterans Administration.”
Tanksley cannot tell the tales of his

service now, as Alzheimer’s disease has
begun to take its toll.
Tanksley was born in Bradley County
on Dec. 2, 1945. Before joining the military, he worked as a farm hand.
Tanksley joined active service at Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga. on Jan. 8, 1943. His
honorable discharge lists his military
occupation as a clerk non-typist. On
Dec. 8, 1943, Tanksley received his
sharpshooter rifle qualification. He
served in the 878th Bombardment
Squadron.
Tanksley was deployed on Aug. 13,
1944, and arrived in the Asia Pacific on
Sept. 18. He served in the Eastern
Mandates campaign and the Air
Offensive on Japan in the Western
Pacific.
The Japanese officially surrendered
on Sept. 2, 1945 and the 878th
Bombardment Squadron was demobilized.
“I just never knew, because Dad
never said anything about it,” Jones
said. “And when I’ve talked to other
people, that’s just the way that era
was. They didn’t talk about it a whole
lot.”
A visit to Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor provided the backdrop for Tanksley to tell
a bit about his time in the service.
“I had never seen him cry except for

Madeline Warren finds closure
50 years after brother’s death
By WILLIAM WRIGHT
Lifestyles Editor
Every Memorial Day carries
precious and painful memories
for Madeline Warren about her
beloved brother, Pvt. John E.
Galyon. It took 50 years for the
Cleveland resident to receive
the flag the U.S. government
sent to her family when her 19year-old brother died in World
War II, the first and most profound loss of her life.
Born in Roane County,
Warren was one of six children
who felt a special bond with
her brother that she did not

experience with anyone else.
Despite the fact that he was 10
years older, John took time to
teach his little sister lessons
that she cherishes to this day.
Although he was a teenager,
Warren said John was an intelligent and tenderhearted brother who was familiar with several home remedies that he
shared with his baby sister,
like putting juice from a green
walnut peel on an abrasion or
eating burnt toast to calm a
stomach ache.
“All of my life he was really
good to me and that was
unusual in our house,” she
said. “I was only 5 years old
when John decided to leave
home in 1941. He was only 15.
He hitchhiked his way to
Mount Pleasant, Texas, to start
his own life.”
Missing her older brother
was a pain the child had to
bear. Still, brief conversations

Cleveland Police find cash and
drugs; assist woman in seizure
By TONY EUBANK
Banner Staff Writer
During a routine traffic stop,
Cleveland Police Department officers discovered a large amount of
cash and drugs.
According to CPD reports, John
Dewy Jr. was pulled over for a
seat belt violation on North Ocoee
Street, when officer Edwin Millan
noted Dewy seemed nervous and
that he had multiple sores on
both arms.
Millan reportedly asked Dewey
if he was on any medication, and
Dewey said he was not. The officer observed that Dewey’s eyes
were unresponsive to light. While
running a check on Dewey’s driver’s license, info came back that
he had a prior arrest for illegal
possession of a Schedule II drug.
Millan then observed a crystallike substance on the car floorboard.
According to reports, Dewey
was asked to get out of the vehicle
and allegedly would not cooperate
with being frisked, and as a result
was cuffed and detained. While
searching the vehicle, Millan
allegedly found two stacks of $20
and $10 bills amounting to
$2,400. Officers also reportedly
found, in plain sight, three clear
plastic bags with residue and
small amounts of methamphetamine.
Dewey stated he didn’t know
anything about the drugs or the
money, and was arrested and
charged with possession. Both
the vehicle and the cash were
seized.
n CPD officers recently
responded to a possible domestic
disturbance in progress on
Aurora Avenue. When officers
arrived, they spoke with the complainant, a neighbor who stated
that he had heard a commotion
and what sounded like the voice
of an injured woman.
According to police report, officers Nicholas Lorenzano and
Anthony Cochran could hear a
faint female voice. Officers also
heard a moan. Lorenzano reportedly called for the woman several
times, but could not get a
response. The officers also reportedly heard the sound of falling
objects inside the residence.
The officers concluded the
woman was likely in danger, and
Lorenzano made a forced entry.
Cochran cleared the residence
and they discovered the woman
on the bathroom and unresponsive. According to the police
report her breathing was shallow
and EMS was called. As officers
where speaking to her, she
remained unresponsive and
stopped breathing.
Officers began chest compressions and the woman began
breathing. The victim again
stopped breathing and the officer
began compressions again. This
time the woman began breathing
and was alert.
According to reports, the
woman was unaware of her surroundings and visibly upset. After
she calmed down she was able to
relate to officers that she had a
seizure. EMS arrived but the
woman reportedly refused to go to
the hospital or receive any further
treatment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For
viewers of last year’s Scripps
National Spelling Bee, one of the
most surprising results came
courtesy of a test nobody saw.
Vanya Shivashankar was one
of the stars of the show, heavily
promoted in ESPN’s coverage.
Her older sister, Kavya, won the
bee in 2009, and the smiling,
telegenic Vanya was participating
for the fourth time, coming off a
fifth-place finish in 2013.
Vanya breezed through the
preliminary rounds and spelled
both words correctly in the semifinals. But when the finalists
were announced — factoring in
scores from a computerized
spelling and vocabulary test —
Vanya was eliminated. ESPN’s
cameras cut to her, but she
didn’t show much emotion.
Two years after vocabulary
became part of the bee for the
first time, the integration of the
test remains a work in progress.
While participants and bee officials say it’s made the competition fairer — everyone is tested
on the same words — it has
taken some of the drama away
from the semifinal rounds.
Vanya still loves the bee, but
she misses the simplicity of the
old format, when the semifinals
would continue for as necessary
for the field to be narrowed to
about 10 finalists.
“Lots of people would like to
see people going up and spelling
words and seeing how they used
to do it, just to spell until everyone drops,” Vanya said. “I’m fine
with anything, but spelling till
you drop is kind of cool.”
Vanya, who’s from Olathe,
Kansas, wasn’t entirely surprised
she didn’t make the finals last
year. She knew her test score
could have been better.
Spellers were given their own
scores, but neither they nor the
audience knew how they stacked
up.
That’ll change this year as bee
officials continue to tweak the

and bee officials say the competition is fairer now that kids are tested on what words mean.
format. The test scores will be
announced and spellers will be
ranked heading into the semifinals.
Tim Weinkauf, the lead producer of ESPN’s coverage, said
he’ll take advantage of that
change by showing golf-style
leaderboards and highlighting
the spellers who can work their
way into the finals if someone
ahead of them falters.
“I think it allows for more dramatic moments because there
will be those certain kids that are
on the bubble,” Weinkauf said.
One important thing that hasn’t changed: If you miss a word
on stage, the bell rings and
you’re out.
There were drawbacks to what
Vanya calls the “spelling till you
drop” approach.
In 2010, the semifinals were
stopped in the middle of a round
because too many spellers got
words wrong and there was a
chance of having too few finalists
to fill the 2-hour broadcast window.
The bee’s executive director,
Paige Kimble, heard plenty of
complaints that ending the semifinals that way was unfair.
“We’ve certainly had some
white-knuckle moments,” Kimble
said. “You just don’t know when
you go into a round how the kids
are going to do.”
The vocabulary test, Kimble
said, plays a much more important role than making the semifinals more predictable.
“I think it’s making the most
profound impact exactly where
we wanted it to, and that is at the
school and local spelling bee levels,” she said. “We’re finding that
teachers and students and parents are embracing the acquisition of vocabulary along with the
memorization of words for a
spelling bee.”
Kimble also said she didn’t
think the vocabulary test has
ultimately had much influence
over who advances to the finals.
The 285 participants in this
year’s National Spelling Bee have
already proven they’re better
spellers than 11 million other
kids — and to spell at that level,
it’s essential to at least have
some idea what the words mean.
The best spellers can figure out
words they’ve never heard before
by understanding Greek and
Latin roots and languages of origin.
In addition to 13-year-old
Vanya, this year’s bee has two
other siblings of past winners —
12-year-old Jairam Hathwar,
whose brother, Sriram, was a cochampion last year; and 11-yearold Srinath Mahankali, whose
brother, Arvind, was a popular
winner in 2013.
Jairam and Srinath will get
another shot if they fall short.
Vanya is in 8th grade, which
means this is her last chance.
She insists she doesn’t feel any
added pressure.
“I’ve been having the time of
my life,” she said. “This is something that not many people get to
do and I’ve been able to do it so
many years, so definitely no
regrets.”

RogeR AlvARAdo cries while sitting on the back of his truck
outside of a funeral home during a public viewing of blues legend
B.B. King on Saturday in Las Vegas. King died May 14 at age 89.
B.B. King memorial more
cheers than tears in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A standing
ovation for B.B. King and more
cheers than tears marked a family-and-friends memorial of the
late blues great’s life and legacy
Saturday in Las Vegas.
“B.B. was energetic, Amen?”
Pastor Pamela Myrtis Mason said
to open the service that drew
more than 350 to the Palm
Mortuary chapel.
“Amen,” they said.
King’s closed casket lay framed
by an array of floral arrangements, two of his guitars named
Lucille and a tapestry showing
him in eyes-clenched reverie
picking a note from a section of
the guitar frets dubbed by followers the “B.B. King Box.”
“Why don’t you put your hands
together for the King of the Blues,
B.B. King!” the pastor said.
As the applause ended, granddaughter
Landra
Williams
dubbed him “the backbone of our
family King.”
More than 10 of King’s 35
grandchildren and eight of the
blues icon’s 11 surviving adult
children spoke during a two-hour
service that was distinct for its
intimacy and notable for its lack
of acrimony.
Several sang a cappella versions of King classics. From
daughter
Claudette
King
Robinson, it was, “(Someone
Really Loves You) Guess Who?”
Williams, who lives in Houston,
remembered her grandfather
calling every woman in the family
“pretty girl,” and spoiling them
all, while making himself their
confidante and protector.
“To everyone else, he was a legend,” she said. “But for us, he
was love.”
King’s generosity was recalled
by grandson Leonard King Jr.,
who remembered being onstage
when people praising the B.B.
King show got a prideful earful
from his grandfather about his
kin.
“His humility was almost as
legendary as his music,” the
grandson said.
Rock
superstars
Carlos
Santana and Richie Sambora
attended, although Santana left
early.
“Buddy Guy and B.B. let me
into the blues,” said Sambora,
longtime guitarist with of the
band Bon Jovi. “That’s why I’m
here. He made me family.”
Other music notables are
expected to attend memorials in
coming days in Memphis,
Tennessee, and King’s hometown
of Indianola, Mississippi.
King’s onstage drummer for 37
years, Tony Coleman, provided
another upbeat note on a day full
of them.
“He fired me five times,”
Coleman said, drawing laughter.
“But he hired me six times. He
said, ‘Once you’re with me, you’re
always with me.’”
Coleman promised to go on
playing blues “with class, with
dignity, with humanity” — just
like B.B. King taught him to do.
King was inducted into the
Blues Hall of Fame in 1990 and
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
1987. He won 15 Grammys and
sold more than 40 million
records worldwide.
The spirit of B.B. King will be
in the air again on Sunday at the
previously scheduled 35th annual B.B. King Homecoming
Festival in Indianola.
That will be followed by a procession on Wednesday on Beale
Street in Memphis before the last
leg of what Landra Williams, the
granddaughter, has dubbed “The
Road to Mississippi Tour” — the
last leg of Riley B. King’s trip to
Indianola for burial May 30.

Defense chief’s criticism of Iraqis raises policy questions
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Islamic State group’s takeover of
the Iraqi provincial capital
Ramadi has prompted criticism
from Defense Secretary Ash
Carter and raised new questions
about the Obama administration’s strategy to defeat the
extremist group.
The Islamic State group,
which had already seized a
strategically important swath of
the Middle East, seized Ramadi
in central Iraq a week ago, which
has revived concerns about U.S.
efforts to fight the group.
The Obama administration’s
approach in Iraq is a blend of
retraining and rebuilding the
Iraqi army, prodding the Shiitedominated
government
in
Baghdad to reconcile with the
nation’s Sunnis and bombing
Islamic State group targets from
the air without committing
American ground combat troops.
President Barack Obama’s
strategy is predicated on
Baghdad granting political concessions to the country’s alienated Sunnis, who are a source of
personnel and money for the
Islamic State group. But there
has been little visible progress
on that front. Baghdad has continued to work closely with
Shiite militias backed by Iran,
which have been accused of
atrocities against Sunnis, a religious minority in Iraq that ruled
until Saddam Hussein fell from
power.
The U.S. has sought to reach
out on its own to Sunni tribes
and is training some Sunni fighters, but those efforts have been

limited by the small number of
American troops on the ground.
Carter said in an interview
aired Sunday that Shiite-led
Iraqi forces did not show a “will
to fight” in the battle for Ramadi,
a Sunni city.
Although Iraqi soldiers “vastly
outnumbered” their opposition
in the capital of Anbar province,
they quickly withdrew a week
ago without putting up much
resistance from the city in Iraq’s
Sunni heartland, Carter said on
CNN’s “State of the Union.”
The Iraqis left behind large
numbers of U.S.-supplied vehicles, including several tanks,
now presumed to be in Islamic
State hands.
“What apparently happened is
the Iraqi forces just showed no
will to fight,” Carter said. “They
were not outnumbered; in fact,
they vastly outnumbered the
opposing force. That says to me,
and I think to most of us, that
we have an issue with the will of
the Iraqis to fight ISIL and
defend themselves.”
The White House declined to
comment on Sunday.
Iraqi lawmaker Hakim alZamili, the head of the parliamentary defense and security
committee, called Carter’s comments “unrealistic and baseless,” in an interview with The
Associated Press.
“The Iraqi army and police did
have the will to fight IS group in
Ramadi, but these forces lack
good equipment, weapons and
aerial support,” said al-Zamili, a
member of the political party
headed by radical Shia cleric
Muqtada al-Sadr, who is stridently anti-American.
American officials say they are
sending anti-tank weapons to
the Iraqi military. But they also
noted that Iraqi forces were not
routed from Ramadi— they left
of their own accord, frightened
in part by a powerful wave of
Islamic State group suicide
truck bombs, some the size of
the one that destroyed the federal building in Oklahoma City two
decades ago, said a senior State
Department official who spoke to
reporters last week under
ground rules he not be named.
A senior defense official said
that the troops who fled Ramadi
had not been trained by the U.S.
or its coalition partners. The official was not authorized to
address the matter publicly and
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Carter defended the use of
U.S. airstrikes, but he said they
are not a replacement for Iraqi
ground forces willing to defend
their country.
American intelligence officials
have assessed for some time that
Iraq is unlikely ever again to
function as the multi-ethnic
nation-state it once was, and
that any future political arrangement would have to grant significant local autonomy to the three
main groups— Sunnis, Shiites
and Kurds. But the Obama
administration has continued to
pursue a “one Iraq” policy, routing all assistance through
Baghdad.
Over the past year defeated

‘Ugly’ potential fallout from Supreme Court health care case
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
Supreme Court ruling due in a
few weeks could wipe out health
insurance for millions of people
covered by President Barack
Obama’s health care law. But
it’s Republicans — not White
House officials — who have
been talking about damage control.
A likely reason: Twenty-six of
the 34 states that would be most
affected by the ruling have
Republican governors, and 22 of
the 24 GOP Senate seats up in
2016 are in those states.
Obama’s law offers subsidized
private insurance to people without access to it on the job. In the
court case, opponents of the law
argue that its literal wording
allows the federal government to
subsidize coverage only in states
that set up their own health
insurance markets.
Most states have not done so,
because of the intense partisanship over “Obamacare” and in
some cases because of technical
problems. Instead, they rely on
the federal HealthCare.gov website.
If the court invalidates the subsidies in those states, an estimated 8 million people could lose coverage. The results would be “ugly,”
said Sandy Praeger, a former
Kansas insurance commissioner.
“People who are reasonably
healthy would just drop coverage,” she said. “Only the
unhealthy would keep buying
health care. It would really exacerbate the problem of the cost of
health insurance.”
Praeger, a Republican who
retired this year, called it “a classic death spiral,” using a term for
market collapse.
Oral arguments on March 4
revealed a divided court. Chief
Justice John Roberts and Justice
Anthony Kennedy seemingly are
key to the outcome, which won’t
be known until late June.
If the subsidies survive, the
Affordable Care Act will look like
settled law to all but its most passionate opponents. But if they are
overturned, the shock could carry
into next year’s elections. Some
potential consequences:
—BAD TIMING
Around the time when the court
announces its decision, insurers
will be working to finalize premiums and plans for the coming
year. Contracts with the government for 2016 health law coverage
have to be signed by early fall. If
the subsidies are overturned,
insurers would have to tear up
their projections about markets in
more than half the states.
Populous states such as Texas,
Florida, Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey,
Georgia and Pennsylvania would
be among those affected.
State lawmakers could mitigate
the impact by setting up their own
insurance markets, or exchanges.
But that can’t be done overnight.
States might try authorizing an
exchange, and then contracting
with the federal government to
run it. But that sort of end run
might prompt lawsuits from opponents of the law.
In any case, most state legislatures will be out of session by the
summer.
During arguments, Justice
Samuel Alito raised the possibility
that the court might be able to
delay the effective date of its decision. Even a delay through the
end of this year wouldn’t buy
much time. Enrollment for 2016
health law plans is scheduled to
start Nov. 1.
—HOUSE OF CARDS
The health law was designed as
a balancing act. Insurers can’t
turn people away because of
health problems, but most
healthy people are required to
contribute to the insurance pool,
and the government subsidizes
most of the premium for low- to
middle-income households.
Take away subsidies, and the
other two parts become unstable.
The law’s requirement to carry
insurance, never popular, would
probably become the biggest target for repeal.
“My guess is there would be
overwhelming political support for
the elimination of the individual
mandate if people can’t afford the
premiums,” said former Sen. Tom
Daschle, D-S.D., who was an
influential Obama adviser on
health care.
Insurers would demand relief
from provisions of the law intended to limit premium increases, or
they might drop out of the insurance exchanges.
—STICKER SHOCK FOR SELFPAY CUSTOMERS
Many people still buy individual
health care policies directly from
an insurance company, bypassing
the law’s markets and paying the
full cost. They tend to be smallbusiness owners, self-employed
professionals and early retirees.
But even they would not escape
the tumult in states losing subsidies.
The health law created one big
insurance pool in each state, combining customers who purchase
their policies directly with those
who buy through the government
market. If healthy people exit the
insurance exchanges in droves,
premiums for those buying directly would go up. Some may be
unable to afford the higher cost.
“It would set off cascading
events,” said Larry Levitt of the
nonpartisan
Kaiser
Family
Foundation. “The individual market would empty out as premiums
rise significantly.”
—REPUBLICANS TO THE RESCUE?
Leading
congressional
Republicans have been walking a
fine line, opposing the law in the
Supreme Court case while pledging to protect consumers if their
side wins.
If the subsidies are overturned,
Republicans will first try blaming
Obama and the Democrats for
writing flawed legislation and then
trying to paper over problems with
regulations. Then they’ll move
ahead with a patch to appease
angry constituents.
A bill introduced by Sen. Ron
Johnson, R-Wis., would continue the subsidies for existing customers only on the federal
exchange until Sept. 2017. That
would open a window for states
to act, but it would ultimately
leave the problem for the next
president and Congress. Senate

Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., is a co-sponsor.

which the U.S. has targeted in

number of armored personnel

Jones said. “But when we went over
there and we went where all the ships
were sunk in the harbor and all that,
Dad was just weeping … I knew something had to go on there that touched his
heart.”
Tanksley said when he was deployed, a
ship took his squadron to Pearl Harbor.
Other clues came when Jones found
black-and-white photos with captions
reading “Saipan USMC Photo” and
“Tinian USMC photo.” Both battles were
a part of the Mariana Islands campaigns.
They depict various elements of the war,
from carrying causalities to interacting
with locals.
Other photos had no official markings,
but show Tanksley with his comrades.
These photos chronicle everything from
aircraft art (created by plane crew members) to explosions.
Jones said even though the snapshots
do not list a place or date, she said they
show similar surroundings as the Saipan
photos.
Very few of the photos contain any
information, and those that do have only
a simple note on the back identifying
some of the people in the image.

to look for some photos of her, and

then the devastation of the people, the

me so hard.”
She said she could not look through
them all the first time. Later, she realized the small photos of her father
seemed to fit with the USMC photos.
When she started working to get her
father his veterans’ benefits, she took a
greater interest in the photos.

would later honor his sacrifice with her commemorative project.

plan.
Lucas said she began to feel sorry for herself until one day, “out of nowhere,” she had
another realization. Some do not get the
chance to live to see their 30th birthday.
“It’s a privilege denied to many,” Lucas
said.
Since the infamous Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, she said she has carried with
her the knowledge war is real, and the
United States keeping the freedoms it has
today has required the sacrifices of many
military personnel.
With those sacrifices in mind, the
Cleveland native and Walker Valley High
School graduate later set out to launch a
counseling career to help those people and
their families cope with the results of those
sacrifices, the kind of battles which happen
in the States rather than just overseas.
Having earned a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Trevecca
Nazarene University in Nashville, she had
not yet begun practicing her trade in the
way she had hoped.
Still, she said her faith in God meant she
still felt “called” to help military families in
one way or another.
Working as a case manager and hospital
liaison for veterans in Nashville, her mind
went back to the veterans when she was
busy lamenting what she had not accomplished before 30.
She then decided she would celebrate her
birthday by paying her respects to 30 veterans who didn’t live to see 30.
The 30 were chosen after she searched
the Internet and found a website with information about deceased veterans, narrowing
it down by age, location and other factors.
She said she wasn’t certain she could find
the families of those individuals to thank
them and let them know their sacrifices
were not forgotten, but she could find their
final resting places.
Selecting the gravesites of Tennessee veterans stretching from her current Nashville
home to Chattanooga, she made a list, wrote
letters thanking the late troops and their
families and set out with those and the
roses in the de facto support-the-troops
color, yellow.
On a rainy day in the cemetery, a woman
in a car pulled up to Lucas and asked why
she was out in the elements with roses and
letters.
Lucas told her, and tears started to well
up in the woman’s eyes. The driver revealed
she was the mother of U.S. Marine Corps
Lance Cpl. Richard A. Buerstetta. His was
one of the graves Lucas had been to visit the
same day.
“We just embraced and held each other
for a few minutes,” Lucas said.
In a teary conversation, she learned the
mother had on a whim decided to visit her
son’s grave, still mourning his loss after
almost 10 years.
After she left the letters for all of them,
she received several responses from the
service personnel’s loved ones, allowing her
to learn even more about the lives of the 30
who made the ultimate sacrifice before they
turned 30.
On April 8, the mother and grandparents
of forever 23-year-old Woodlawn native
Army Pfc. Jonathon Hall visited his grave in
Chattanooga National Cemetery. It was the
fifth anniversary of Hall’s death. He was hit
by an improvised explosive device in
Afghanistan on April 8, 2010.
The once-fresh yellow rose was wilted and
faded after having kept vigil by Hall’s tombstone for a month, but it and Lucas’ letters
remained for the family to find.
“This was very unusual, because fresh
flowers are not allowed to remain at the
gravesite for any length of time,” said his
grandmother Jan Priddy. “It was evident
that the flower had been at the site for a few

weeks, but the caretakers of the cemetery
had allowed it to remain.”
Still resting in the plastic baggies meant
to protect them from the rain, the letters the
family found were addressed to the “hero”
and to the “family of the hero.”
“I cannot begin to tell you how this act of
kindness and recognition of our ‘hero,’
Jonathon, encouraged us on this particular
day,” Priddy said.
Hall’s tombstone reads in part, “It is well
with my soul. I rest in Jesus.”
Though their loved one now rests away
from them, the family was on the anniversary of his death able to rest assured he
was not forgotten.
Another mother, Cathy Odle, found one of
Lucas’ letters while visiting her son’s grave.
It was Mother’s Day, and she was there to
remember her son, Manchester native U.S.
Army Cpl. Brian J. Schoff.
Having moved up to Michigan in 2010
after her son’s 2006 death, Odle had moved
back to Tennessee in 2014, where her son
was interred.
“Being back stirred up a lot of emotions
once again at particular holidays, with his
birthday, which fell on Thanksgiving that
year, and Mother’s Day always being the
hardest for me,” Odle said. “So the letters
happened to be extra special for me.”
Jan Edens, the stepmother of U.S. Army
Spc. Jason Edens of Franklin, also
described finding the letters as being special.
It was about a month after Lucas had
placed them, but the letters and the rose
remained intact, only a little bit wilted.
“I sat in the chair I had carried to read
them. With tears rolling down my cheeks, I
felt warmth in her words,” Edens said. “I
told Jason that we had a new friend. I was
so proud of the letters, and I shared them
with our family and friends.”
Also on Lucas’ visitation list was fellow
Cleveland native U.S. Army Sgt. David T.
Weir, who lost his life on Sept. 14, 2006, at
the age of 23, after sustaining serious
injuries the day prior while serving in Iraq.
He is interred in Chattanooga National
Cemetery, one of Lucas’ stops throughout
the state.
Weir was the second young man
Cleveland had lost in conflict in two years,
as Army Pfc. James W. Price had passed
away on Sept. 18, 2004, at the age of 22.
It took her a few weeks after visiting the
first graves on her birthday, but Lucas eventually made her way to all 30 of them.
Along the way, she did what she could to
learn about the lives of the fallen so she
could get an idea of who they were — and
who they might have been able to become
had they lived.
Each stop became a time for quiet and
sometimes tearful contemplation as she
paid her respects to the 30 young men and
women whose lives were cut short at a
young age.
“Not a day goes by that I do not think
about these 30 veterans,” Lucas said. “All I
could think was that was somebody’s son,
somebody’s brother and so on.”
Some of the individuals whose graves she
visited were as young as 19 and 20.
She said she found herself wondering if
they had ever had the opportunities to do
things like fall in love.
“I’m even more grateful for them now,”
Lucas said. “It has been with a very heavy
heart that I’ve visited these veterans. ...
These parents would give anything to have
their kid back for another day.”
It is easy, she added, to look at the statistics of those who perished while serving
their country and not feel the full weight of
what those numbers mean.
But statistics don’t always tell the kind of
stories families hold in their hearts.
All had hoped for stories to continue;
some had made plans.
For example, Lucas said she later learned
the lone female soldier on her list — U.S.
Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Billie J.
Grinder of Gallatin — had planned to help
her sister pick out a wedding dress just two
weeks after her unexpected death.
The days following the deaths of those 30
who died before 30 have left their families
pondering what could have been.
Some on the receiving end of the gifts
Lucas gave away on her birthday have said
it has been a comfort to know their loved
ones are not forgotten.
Though many do not mean to, Lucas said
many people tend to forget the pain of losing a loved one in combat does not go away
after the funeral flowers have died.
It can last for years and years, with every
special day serving as a reminder there is
one less person there to join the celebration
— like the mother missing her son on
Mother’s Day.
“No one wants their loved ones forgotten,
but I think it's especially hard when it is
your child because other people will talk
about their children’s life, which is as it
should be,” Odle said. “When you can only
talk about your child’s past and not their
present or future ... well, it's just hard. ...
Knowing that people continue to honor him
and care about his family helps.”
Priddy also described how her daughter,
Hall’s mother, “is always concerned ... people will forget the sacrifice of her son.” She
added actions like Lucas’ can still be a
comfort even years after the death of a veteran.
Lucas said she didn’t perform her tribute
for the recognition, and all it took was a little thought and money for things like gas
and roses. It mostly just took an idea, a
desire to do what she could to help remember the fallen members of the military.
“It does not take a lot to be kind and
thoughtful to others,” Lucas said. “It’s my
hope to inspire people to do the same — not
just on a holiday but in the days between.
“Be a source of comfort for those families
that are out there. ... Live out the words,
‘You are not forgotten.’”

stepfather and talk of written letters made it clear John was alive
and well.
“I heard he hitchhiked into
Mount Pleasant on a milk truck,”
Warren said. “When the driver
asked him where he was going
he said he’d know when he saw
the house. Sure enough he saw
a house that he felt drawn to.
They were the Montgomery family. John told them, ‘The Lord
sent me.’ Mr. Montgomery said,
‘If God sent you, we’re not sending you away.’ John worked on
that ranch and became part of
their family until he joined the
Army during World War II.”
Not long after that, the 9-yearold Madeline experienced something she did not discuss with
anyone until her senior years.
“It was strange. I’ll never forget
it. I was running across a playground and I heard John call my
name,” said Warren. “I looked
around but he wasn’t there. The
very next day I was out raking in
the yard when a black limo
pulled up. Men got out and
walked up on our porch. They
handed Mom a telegram. John
was dead.”
Details became fuzzy as
Warren heard the news of the
most painful moment of her
young life. She said she kept
asking herself, “What am I going
to do? What am I going to do?”
“This was the first time I had
known real, deep sadness,”
Warren admits. “I still have the
telegram. It was Feb. 26, 1944. I
kept remembering hearing him
call me and wondering, maybe I
was the last person he thought
“I finally found the closure I was looking for. It was so
satisfying. I never knew where John was — what his
grave looked like or if anyone even took care of his
gravesite. I left there so pleased. The trip was absolutely
worth it. Years ago I felt my brother was the only one
who cared for me. God has given me my son and
grandson who cares for me. I feel so blessed. The void has
been filled.” — Madeline Warren
of? We were so close.”
Warren would never see her
brother again. He was killed in
action and buried in a military
cemetery in Italy.
The family decided not to
speak of the incident. Warren
saw no grave, no memorial service, no American flag to symbolize his sacrifice, no photos —
nothing to remember her beloved
brother by except her cherished
memories.
No one could possibly imagine
how this lack of closure would
affect Warren throughout her
adolescent years and into adulthood. She admitted, “I went for
years thinking about him, missing him.”
In 1984, Warren’s mother
died, leaving her an old foot locker that she took home and
stored away for the next 10 years
before she ever opened it. In
1994, she opened her mother’s
dusty old locker and the answers
to a lifetime of questions were
awaiting her to fulfill her final
journey with John.
“I was so amazed,” Warren
confessed. “Here were all of these
letters from my brother, a picture of him and a card postmarked Oct. 5, 1944.”

gone to support local causes, the
club’s gala has also funded international projects like missions to
provide clean water to impoverished people in countries like
Togo and Honduras.
Including money raised so far
from this year’s gala, Munford
said the club has made “over a
half million dollars” from its
galas over the years. This marks
the fifth the club has hosted
such an event.
“It’s so wonderful to be able to
raise money and give it away,”
Munford said.
All the good the club has been
able to do has been the result
from the support of the Cleveland
community and its generosity,
the club president added.
He explained this is the one
time of year the club does “big
work” to “make big ideas happen,” which will hopefully lead to
“big rewards” as thousands of
dollars make their way to charitable efforts.
Still, he noted the club is in
continued need of support as it
raises funds to provide resources
to organizations helping everyone
from homeless families to children and adults with disabilities.
That’s where Glavine comes
into the picture.
On Saturday, June 6, at 6 p.m.
at the Cleveland Country Club,
select guests will be able to join
Glavine for a meet-and-greet
reception while all attendees are
able to bid in a silent auction.
Then, at 7 p.m., the main
event begins. It will feature a sitdown dinner, a live auction and a
speech by Glavine himself.
The former pitcher retired from
professional baseball in 2009
and was inducted into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame a
few years later, in 2014.
The accomplished left-handed
pitcher boasts a Major League
Baseball career spanning more
than 20 years.
Best known for his work with
Atlanta, Glavine led his teams to
305 victories over the years.
According to the Hall of Fame,
only three other left-handed
players in history can say they’ve
won as many games.
He pitched for the Braves from
1987 to 2002, contributing as a
key starter to multiple division
championships and four berths
in the World Series. In 1995 he
was named the World Series
Most Valuable Player, and was
the winning pitcher in Atlanta’s
championship-clinching Game 6.
In 2002, Glavine joined the
New York Mets, a team for which
he won 61 games in five seasons.
During that stint, he earned his
300th win.
In 2008, at the age of 42, he
rejoined the Braves. However, he
left the team the next year after
he suffered injuries.
Overall, his career included
2,607 strikeouts, 10 All-Star
Game appearances, two Cy
Young Awards and four Silver
Slugger Awards. The 682 games
he started over the course of his
career rank Glavine 12th overall
among professional baseball
players, according to the Hall of
Fame.
Though his pitching accolades
made him worthy of the Hall of
Fame, Munford said Glavine is
also an ace when it comes to supporting charitable efforts.
Now a color commentator for
Braves TV broadcasts, Glavine
has used his influence to promote causes like Volunteers of
America’s “Operation Backpack”
program, the Rally Foundation,
the CURE Childhood Cancer
organization and the Georgia
Transplant Foundation.
“Tom Glavine is an outstanding baseball player and an outstanding person,” Munford said.
“He likes the club’s mission. ...
And I think we’ve got a great
event.”
He added there are still “several individual seats” left for the
gala, and there may be an opportunity left for someone to sponsor
a table.

That 1944 postcard was a
notification by the government
that the flag had arrived at the
Rockwood post office and could
be picked up, some 50 years ago.
Half a century later and Warren
was on her way to the post office
to see if, by some modern miracle, that flag was somehow still
there. She gave the postmaster
the 50-year-old faded postcard.
“The postmaster had been
there for 18 years at the time,”
Warren said. “He said he had
seen a little box laying on top of
a wire rack shelf when he first
came to the post office, but never
climbed up there to look at it.
That was it. That flag had been
in that box for 50 years!”
Warren had letters revealing
her brother earned the Purple
Heart and three other medals of
distinction for making the
supreme sacrifice for his country, but no one had ever received
them.
In December 1996 Warren
took her case to the Oak Ridge
office of U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp,
who made the matter a top priority.
On Feb. 26, 1997, the president of the Veterans Support
Group at the Department of
Energy had them framed and on
March 15, 1997, Wamp had the
privilege of presenting them to
Warren as the guest of honor
during a special ceremony in
Roane County.
Wamp later wrote, “Few things
I have done as a Congressman
have meant more to me. Few
moments have been as emotional. It is times like that night ...
that all of us who enjoy the precious liberties our country offers
should remember the sacrifices
of Americans like John Galyon.
They gave of themselves to the
fullest measure so that we might
be free.”
“Finally, somebody has done
something for him,” Warren said.
The honor Wamp showed her 19year-old deceased brother who
served in the Army with the
Tank Destroyer Battalion was
something Warren said she will
never forget.
As she read letter after letter,
held her only photo of her
beloved brother (with the
Montgomery’s granddaughter on
his lap), grasped the American
flag sent half a century ago and
embraced medals of honor in
recognition of a brother who had
earned a place in the heart of his
country and countrymen,
Warren tearfully found her long
overdue closure.
“When the article ran I got letters from people telling me they
knew him as Tennessee John,”
said Warren.
“I received phone calls from
people who said they remembered him because he smiled all
the time, he was kind to everybody and he whistled all the
time. One young man called to
say his parents and grandparents remembered Tennessee
John and wanted him to call me.
“I even received a phone call
from that little girl in the photo
with John. Her name is Ann.
She said she was 3 years old in
the picture and she was in her
60s. The legacy he left of his
kindness and how he was filled
with love for people is still
remembered decades later — he
had to be outstanding to be
remembered that way.”
In 2010, Warren traveled overseas to honor her brother who
was buried in Italy and to seek
closure after more than 66 years
of enduring a traumatic loss.
Standing over his gravesite for
the first time after longing to be
near her brother for decades was
“a wonderful” experience,
according to Warren who traveled with her son John, daughter-in-law Yulia and their son,
John.
“It was overwhelming,” Warren
said. “I wasn’t going to cry, but it
really was overwhelming. It was
so beautiful.”
From the yellow roses with
petals trimmed in red to the 21gun salute during the Memorial
Day celebration at the SicilyRome American Cemetery in
Nettuno, Italy, Warren said the
celebration, the friendly people
and the hospitality of the U.S.
Embassy were everything she
hoped they would be and more.
“I finally found the closure I
was looking for. It was so satisfying. I never knew where John
was — what his grave looked like
or if anyone even took care of his
gravesite. I left there so pleased.
The trip was absolutely worth it.
Years ago I felt my brother was
the only one who cared for me.
God has given me my son and
grandson who cares for me. I feel
so blessed. The void has been
filled.”
With an old wound healed,
Warren described her journey
from childhood to finally stand-
ing over her brother’s grave some
5,000 miles from home as a closure she never expected to have
but, thanks to her son, has been
resolved.
Warren, now 80, said she will
honor the memory of her precious brother and every veteran
who sacrificed their lives as long
as she lives, adding, “This is
something we should always

Happy Birthday: Keep a close tally
on expenses and do the best job possible, and you will avoid being labeled
By Ned Classics
By Conrad Day
or misled by those you deal with. You
don't have to follow what your friends
or idols do to gain popularity. Being
who you are and presenting an honest
and authentic approach to life will help
you excel. Your numbers are 5, 8, 14,
23, 38, 44, 46.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Problems will arise, but that doesn't
mean you should quit. Don't get frustrated; get moving in whatever direction opens up. Try to make sure you
are heading down a productive path.
Once you reassess, you will also
reconsider.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Sticking to a budget and keeping life
simple should be your focus. Put more
effort into your home, family and plans
to help raise your standard of living.
Keeping domestic matters a priority
will lead to family improvements.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Bring
about the changes that will help the
people you care about most. Don't
waste your time arguing when you
should be trying to improve your surroundings. A proposal will turn out to
be full of empty promises. Proceed
with caution.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Rely
on your intuition and emotions to lead
you in the right direction. Don't let
bureaucracy get the best of you. Look
for loopholes and you will find a way to
pursue your plans. Knowing what you
are up against is half the battle.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An emotional situation must not be allowed to take
up your valuable time. Anger will not
solve issues, but making changes that
are good for you will. Stop putting
things off. Once you get started, you
will have no trouble getting things
done.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There
will be opposition and accusations flying around. Your best defense will be
to do a good job and offer a just and
practical approach to whatever you do.
Follow your heart.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take
control and get things done. Refuse to
let a jealous colleague make you feel
inadequate. Take it as a sign that you
are on the right path and strive to do
even better. Don't retaliate -- it will only
make you look bad.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Money
matters are improving, but that isn't a
license to overspend. Look for a safe,
long-term investment, or better yet,
invest in your appearance, skills or
future. Love and romance will improve
your relationship with someone special
as well as your personal life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Don't share your ideas. Wait until your
plans are underway and you have
something concrete to offer. A change
at home will give you a new lease on
life. It's time for new beginnings. Chart
your course and do not look back.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Bide your time and wait for someone
else to make the first move. Once you
have a clear picture of the situation
that is unfolding, you will be in a better
position to make the best choice for
you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Check out the job market. Pursue what
you enjoy doing. You can turn a chore
you do for your family into a service for
others in your community. Don't sell
yourself short. You've got talent that
should help you earn extra income.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be
careful what you say and how you
react. Not everyone will be as forgiving
as you are. Do your best to avoid getting involved in an argument. Focus on
personal gains, love and finding happiness.
Birthday Baby: You are imaginative and inventive. You are loyal, giving
and diplomatic.

8 p.m. on (WRCB)
American Ninja Warrior
Who has the right stuff to endure obstacle
courses in various localities across the
country, then in Las Vegas for the finals?
The quest begins in California with “Venice
Qualifying,” the series’ Season 7 premiere.
Returning hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar
Gbaja Biamila have a new on-air partner
this time, Kristine Leahy of CBS Sports.
Baltimore Ravens veteran Brendon Ayanbadejo and current Seattle Seahawks
player Jon Ryan make their debuts as contenders.
8 p.m. on (WTVC)
500 Questions
After starting last week, the new game
show continues its run nightly through
Thursday, putting contestants to the test of
answering you-know-how-many questions.
The catch is that if someone misses three
in a row, he or she is out of the competition.
CNN newsman Richard Quest is the host of
the program, which intends to be challenging — but not so much that viewers will feel
the queries are so far over their heads that
they can’t play along.
9 p.m. on (WNGH) (WTCI)
The Homefront
It’s a given that while members of the
military are performing their duties, others
are affected — very particularly, the loved
ones they leave to serve America. This
new two-hour special profiles a number of
families connected to the various branches
of the Armed Forces, with enlisted men and
women talking about finding and keeping
the balance between the patriotic and the
personal. Spouses and children are among
others who also give their perspectives.
9 p.m. on (HIST)
Texas Rising
Following a brutal defeat at the Alamo, the
fearless Texas Rangers under the command of Gen. Sam Houston (Bill Paxton)
wage a battle for revenge against the
Mexican troops of the ruthless Gen. Santa
Anna (Olivier Martinez) in this epic five-part,
10-hour historical miniseries premiering tonight. The huge cast also includes Brendan
Fraser, Ray Liotta, Jeffrey Dean Morgan,
Thomas Jane, Crispin Glover, Jeff Fahey,
Rob Morrow and Kris Kristofferson.
10 p.m. on (WRCB)
The Island
If you’re on a show involving Bear Grylls,
you know you’d better be in good shape for
it. His new, unscripted series has elements
of “Survivor,” but leaves it to the 14 male
participants to record the events themselves. They’re placed on a deserted island
and left to their own devices — and any
others they can find — to generate a new
existence for themselves. A trauma surgeon
and a criminal defense attorney are among
those challenged in the premiere, “Man Up.”

David Letterman drives into retirement with Indy 500 tribute
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — David
Letterman has a new No. 1 on his
personal Top Ten list of reasons he
loves the Indianapolis 500.
The freshly retired Letterman
was all grins early Sunday as his
IndyCar team paid tribute to the
former “Late Show” host by putting
a gap-toothed, smiling caricature
of his face and #thanksdave on
driver Oriol Servia’s yellow car for
the big race.
“With everything that’s happened, it’s the highlight of my
career,” Letterman said. “It’s crazy
it’s the Indianapolis 500.
Regrettable my face, but also my
name on that car. It’s just delightful.”
Letterman was dressed in a red
shirt with a race sponsor “Steak ‘n
Shake” logo. He promised Servia
he would buy the burgers with an
Indy win, but he can save his cash
for retirement: Servia was knocked
out of the running with an accident
just past the halfway point of the
race.
But the race wasn’t a total bust
for the team, with Graham Rahal
finishing fifth in the Indy 500.
“He assured me he would be
around the track a lot more,”
Rahal said of his usually absent
owner. “At this stage in his life, he
can enjoy himself a little bit and
hopefully that means enjoying
IndyCar racing.”
Letterman was born and raised
in Indianapolis, spending his
younger years in the Broad Ripple
section of town. He went to Ball
State in Muncie, Indiana, and early
in his career served as a pit
reporter for ABC; search on
YouTube for his interview of Mario
Andretti after the former champion
crashed out of the 1971 race.
Letterman got into team owner-
ship in the 1990s with former Indy
500 champion Bobby Rahal, and
businessman Mike Lanigan came
aboard to form what is now Rahal
Letterman Lanigan Racing.
Letterman struck a friendship
with Rahal after the retired driver
appeared on his show after winning the 1986 Indy 500.
Letterman could have filled an
Indy 500 starting grid with all the
series drivers he had on the show.
Graham and Bobby Rahal were
guests on “The Late Show” and the
Indy 500 champion usually
brought along the Borg-Warner
Trophy.
“I’m just really pissed off
because he finished this week,”
Servia joked. “He couldn’t wait
until next week? Because usually
the winner goes to his show.”
Not this time, not after a that
crash marred what had been a fun
morning for the former host.
It was easy to find the Rahal
Letterman Racing spot in the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway paddock: There was a red “Late Show
with David Letterman” sign and
the same grinning caricature that
was featured on Servia’s car.
Team members wore gray Tshirts with their own “Top Ten” list
of reasons they love Letterman.
Among them: Cries on the parade
lap.
Letterman was relaxed as he
strolled through Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, even inviting one
fan over a barrier to sign autographs.
“Are you nervous?” Servia
asked.
“No, I won’t be nervous until
they start ‘em up and then I just
get crazy nervous,” Letterman said.
Not wanting to get left out of the
father-son bonding of the Rahals,
AP photo
DAviD LettermAn, who
ended his 33-year career as a
late-night TV host Wednesday,
waves to fans as he walks
through the pit area before the
99th running of the Indianapolis
500 at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway in Indianapolis on
Sunday. Bottom: Graham Rahal,
a member of the Rahal
Letterman Lanigan racing team,
poses wearing a Letterman tribute T-shirt before the start of the
race. Letterman's IndyCar team
paid tribute to the former "Late
Show" host by putting a caricature of his face and a Twitter
tribute on driver Oriol Servia's
yellow car for Sunday's race.
Letterman claimed Servia as his
own offspring.
“Yes, I sent away to one of those
genetic testing places where they
do the swab and it turns out he is
in fact my son,” Letterman
cracked. “Bobby and Graham are
father and son. Oriol and I are the
same.”
Letterman ended his 33-year
career as a late-night television
host Wednesday. He presided over
6,028 broadcasts on CBS and
NBC, making Top 10 lists and
ironic humor staples of television
comedy. Letterman joked that he
needed “some kind of intravenous
medication” to recover from the
grind of the final weeks of his
show.
“Then the next day you feel a little bit better, and the next day you
feel a little bit better,” said
Letterman, whose team won the
race in 2004 with Buddy Rice.
“Now here we are. This is the pressure-cooker.”
Letterman said he would watch
the race from pit lane. At least he
could find a seat, unlike the ones
that were stripped from the Ed
Sullivan Theater. Parts of
Letterman’s set from his show’s
home were quickly dumped in the
trash and scooped by fans.
“Not only did they take the set
and tear it up, they took all the
seats out of the theater two days
later,” Letterman said. “What that
does is remind you that it’s show
business. It’s just show business.
Thirty-three years, what do I care.
Let them take the seats out, let
them do anything they want. I wish
Stephen Colbert nothing but the
best.”
Q&A: Boston Pops maestro Keith Lockhart on music, tech
BOSTON (AP) — Keith
Lockhart was just 35 and a
musical wunderkind when he
took over as conductor of the
Boston Pops in 1995.
Now in his 20th season,
Lockhart has raised his baton
1,700 times to lead the group
nicknamed
“America’s
Orchestra.” Along the way, he’s
shared the stage with more than
250 guest artists as diverse as
Aerosmith, Robert DeNiro and
Big Bird.
The Associated Press caught
up with Lockhart in his office at
Symphony Hall, dominated by a
well-worn Hamburg Steinway
piano that once belonged to
Russian
composer
Serge
Koussevitzky. Animated and
fast-talking, the now 55-year-old
maestro — free of his trademark
tuxedo in a blue polo shirt and
jeans — talked about the late
B.B. King, the importance of
making concerts interactive, and
his past penchant for jumping
out of cakes and coffins at
Halloween and kids’ concerts.
—AP: You’ve been at this for a
while. What’s the best part of the
job?
Lockhart: It’s the instant
recognition and affinity that people have for the ensemble. It’s
kind of fun to be in an organization that has so much man-onthe-street recognition and
appeal. We do a Fourth of July
concert that has more people in
attendance live than most
orchestras see in their entire
audience for a year.
AP: You’ve made the music so
accessible. How does your new
“By Popular Demand” live voting
thing work? Your audiences get
to pick the music?
Lockhart: I’m a total technical
Luddite. I have a cellphone and I
know how to use my email and
get online, but that’s about it.
The Pops has always been, to
some extent, about what people
want to hear. I thought it’d really
be great if we could find some
way to have the audience in real
time choose the concert we’re
going to do.
AP: So you give them some
choices and then they vote?
Lockhart: Right. We’ve got 30
pieces of music, so they get three
choices in each of 10 categories.
We tried it the first time by asking the audience to pick their
favorite “Bugs Bunny” musical
moment. And as they vote on
their smartphones or by sending
a text, there’s a screen that displays the percentages. You see
two going neck and neck, one
pulling ahead, people yelling for
their candidate, and eventually I
call the vote and we play that
piece for them. I expected this
would be a fun little novelty.
What I didn’t expect is the
incredible enthusiasm and
investment that people felt about
being asked what they’d like to
hear. It was electric. People were
shouting for their candidates;
booing the candidates they didn’t
like; dancing in the aisles to the
piece that won.
One of the things in the live
performance arts that we’re
missing is this feeling of investment. We’re asking people to be
there and passively accept what
we give them. People feel a real
need to be involved and to have
people hear their voices. I think
we’re on to something.
AP: How do you navigate criticism from symphonic snobs that
this is conduct unbecoming a
conductor?
Lockhart: American orchestral
culture was starchy and elitist a
century ago. But now I think it’s
quite the opposite: You have traditional ensembles trying to find
ways to be responsive to the
needs of their audiences.
AP: It’s quite astounding how
many guest artists you’ve invited
to share your stage. It’s such an
eclectic list. Looking back, any
favorites?
Lockhart: I always hesitate on
that. How do you say whether,
you know, Martin Short or
Steven Tyler was a better guest?
I think some of the favorites were
people who never worked in this
world before. Someone like
Buckwheat Zydeco — someone I
don’t even think had ever seen
an orchestra, much less performed live onstage with an
orchestra. And some who were
just so unabashedly nutty and
fun. Steven Tyler does come to
mind for that. And Cyndi Lauper.
AP: Isn’t it a little like Bill
Belichick inviting Jay Z to help
him coach the Patriots? I
couldn’t imagine that.
Lockhart: Jay Z could imagine
that.
AP: Sadly, you’ll never get B.B.
King.
Lockhart: We almost worked
with him. This was maybe a
decade ago. He was all set to go
to the Pops and he got ill, pulled
out. We have a whole set of B.B.
King charts in the library that
were never used. I’m actually
thinking we should find somebody who does a great B.B. King
tribute and do a B.B. King
moment.
AP: So after all this, what do
you do for an encore?
Lockhart: There is no real
encore to this job. On the limb of
the tree I have chosen to walk
out on, there is nothing further
out. There’s no doubt that if you
want to stay happy as a musician, you have to keep doing
things that push you as a musician. The time to leave is when
you feel like you’re running out
of things to give.
AP: No more jumping out of
cakes?
Lockhart: (Laughs.) That stuff
is so funny. I’ve jumped out of a
cake. I’ve come out of a coffin.
I’ve rollerbladed onstage. I’ve
entered the stage on an elephant.
(Pause.) A real elephant. You
know, everything’s appropriate to
its place and time.

United Arab Emirates launches
national space agency strategy
ABU DHABI, United Arab
Emirates (AP) — The United
Arab Emirates on Monday laid
out a strategic framework for a
newly created space agency
that aims to integrate various
arms of the Gulf federation’s
burgeoning space industry.
The seven-state federation,
perhaps best known for its oil
wealth and extravagant attractions like Dubai’s Palm-shaped
islands and record-breaking
Burj Khalifa skyscraper, is fast
establishing itself as the Arab
world’s leader in the space sector.
The UAE Space Agency, created last year by presidential
decree, aims to regulate and
support the country’s space
sector, which includes existing
Earth-orbiting satellite programs and plans for a mission
to Mars in 2020.
Agency Chairman Khalifa
Mohammed Thani al-Rumaithi
said the space industry will
help diversify the country’s
economy and create highly
skilled jobs for a growing youth
population.
“The United Arab Emirates is
seeking to confirm its status as
a spacefaring nation in which
the industry plays a key role in
sustainable economic development,” he told a gathering at an
event rolling out the federal
body in the capital, Abu Dhabi,

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The
chief of an elite unit in Iran’s
Revolutionary
Guard
has
accused the U.S. of having “no
will” to stop the Islamic State
group after the fall of the Iraqi
city of Ramadi, an Iranian
newspaper reported Monday.
The comments by Gen.
Qassem Soleimani, the head of
the Guard’s elite Quds unit,
come just after U.S. Defense
Secretary Ash Carter accused
Iraqi forces of lacking the “will
to fight” in an interview aired
the day before.
It wasn’t clear whether
Soleimani’s remarks came as a
direct response to Carter’s,
though tensions remain high
between the two countries amid
negotiations over Iran’s contested nuclear program.
The report in the daily newspaper Javan, which is seen as
close to the Guard, quoted
Soleimani as saying the U.S.
didn’t do a “damn thing” to stop
the extremists’ advance on
Ramadi.
“Does it mean anything else
than being an accomplice in the
plot?” he reportedly asked, later
saying the U.S. showed “no will”
in fighting the Islamic State
group.
Soleimani said Iran and its
allies are the only forces that
can deal with Islamic State
group,
“Today, there is nobody in
confrontation with (the Islamic
State group) except the Islamic
Republic of Iran, as well as
nations who are next to Iran or
supported by Iran,” he said.
U.S. officials, including
Carter, have said Iraqi forces
fled the Islamic State advance
on Ramadi without fighting
back, leaving behind weapons
and vehicles for the extremists.
So far, the American approach
to the conflict has been to
launch airstrikes as part of an
international coalition it leads,
as well as equipping and training Iraqi forces.
Iran has offered advisers,
including Soleimani, to direct
Shiite militias fighting against
the extremists. Iran has said it
does not have combat troops
fighting in Iraq, though some
Revolutionary Guard members
have been killed there.
Meanwhile in Syria, activist
said government warplanes
conducted more than 15 air
raids on the historic central
town of Palmyra and nearby
areas, leaving some dead or
wounded.
The air raids on Palmyra
came a day after the government said that Islamic State
fighters have killed more than
400 state employees, troops and
pro-government gunmen since
they captured the town
Wednesday.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
and Osama al-Khatib, an
activist from Palmyra who is
now in Turkey, said the warplanes also struck near a building where archaeological pieces
were placed before they were
moved to safe areas.
The activists said the air
raids were mostly inside the
town and far from the famous
archaeological sites that are
among the Middle East’s most
spectacular.

French president revives political duo with his ex
PARIS (AP) — Someone has
been appearing more and more
often alongside French President
Francois Hollande on official visits abroad and in high-level
meetings in Elysee Palace. It’s no
ordinary someone — it’s Segolene
Royal, the president’s ex-partner
and mother of his four children,
and one of his most prominent
government ministers.
As minister for Ecology,
Sustainable Development and
Energy, Royal is playing a key
role in France’s preparations to
host a landmark U.N. conference
on climate later this year. But her
new omnipresence at Hollande’s
side is rankling critics who say
she’s playing an outsize role in
presidential politics.
Royal, 61, draws her special
status from her personal relationship with the president —
but also from her high-level political career.
While Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign followed her
husband’s presidency, in the
Hollande-Royal political couple,
it was Royal’s star that rose first.
A heavy hitter in the Socialist
Party, she ran for president in
2007, coming in second to
Nicolas Sarkozy —the same year
she announced her split from
Hollande, after almost three
decades together. Hollande then
beat Sarkozy for the presidency
in 2012.
Royal’s nomination as minister
came soon after Hollande’s separation from ex-first lady Valerie
Trierweiler, who was said to be
firmly opposed to seeing Royal
enter the government.
Following his tumultuous
breakup with Trierweiler in
January 2014 amid reports that
he was having an affair with
actress Julie Gayet, Hollande has
made a point of keeping his sentimental life private.
Hollande has never denied a
relationship with Gayet, who
remains invisible at the Elysee,
though French media report that
she secretly visits him. She has
never accompanied the president
on any official trip.
On the contrary, Royal now
appears at the French presi-
dent’s side with increasing regularity.
At a meeting this week with
former U.S. Vice President Al
Gore about climate change,
Hollande greeted his American
guest, then waited for Royal to
arrive, so that she could join the
photo op.
French
weekly
Nouvel
Observateur called her “The Vice
President” in a cover story — a
title that doesn’t officially exist in
France.
Such omnipresence prompted
reaction from the ex-first lady.
“They are inseparable. It goes
beyond their children. They both
share an immoderate taste for
politics. Power is their reason for
living, their mutual obsession,”
Trierweiler told Le Parisien newspaper earlier this month.
There’s no sign that Royal and
Hollande are together again
romantically. They take care to
keep their relationship formal in
public appearances.
In a rare exception, Hollande
evoked their former life together
when Royal accompanied him on
a long trip this month to the
French Caribbean, Cuba and
Haiti.
Royal “made me believe for a
long time that she was from
Martinique,” he said in a speech
to local politicians of the French
island, where Royal lived for a
few years as a child. The joke
prompted loud applause by the
audience — and knowing smiles
exchanged between the president
and his minister.
Royal’s position is “rather
incongruous,” said Vanessa
Schneider, a Le Monde journalist
and author of a book called “The
Enigmatic Mr. Hollande: In the
Corridors of the Elysee.”
“Clearly, they share rather
great complicity. We feel that
they have great pleasure to see
each other,” Schneider told The
Associated Press.
Away from photographers’
eyes, they kiss each other hello
on the cheeks, in the French
style, and chat a little bit before
Cabinet meetings.
Whenever she wants to talk to
the president, Royal simply
sends him text messages — a
privilege shared by only a few
close friends of Hollande.
“She has a direct line to him.
But at the same time, he’s not
under her domination: I attended
some situations where she made
some demands and he answered
no,” Schneider said.
Polls routinely show Royal’s
popularity is much higher than
Hollande’s. Political commentators observe that the unpopular
Hollande —who may seek a second term in 2017— may try to
use Royal’s leverage in the perspective of the presidential race.
She is especially “very popular
in certain categories of the leftwing political base: youth and
working-class people,” deputydirector of French poll institute
Ifop Frederic Dabi said. “She
could be a real asset.”

Gordon says
he will never
run Indy 500
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The closest Jeff Gordon will ever come to
leading the Indy 500 will be in the
pace car.
Despite retiring from NASCAR at
the end of this season, the fourtime Sprint Cup champion said
that “The Greatest Spectacle in
Racing” will remain for him a
dream, one he fulfilled in part by
winning the Brickyard 400 and
now by driving the pace car for
Sunday’s race.
“Would I have liked to at least
run one Indianapolis 500, knowing
what it’s like? Sure,” he said. “It
won’t be happening, but I’d have
liked to know what it’s like.”
Gordon was chosen to lead the
field of 33 cars to the green flag by
Chevrolet, which makes the
Corvette pace car. But it took some
flexibility and understanding from
his sponsors and NASCAR team
owner Rick Hendrick to pull off his
own version of “the double.”
Gordon returned to drive in the
Coca-Cola 600 in North Carolina
on Sunday night after watching
the first few laps of the Indy 500
with his family before flying south.
Gordon didn’t lead any laps at
Charlotte Motor Speedway and finished 15th.
“We’ve seen guys compete in this
race and still make it to Charlotte,”
Gordon said. “I have my wife and
kids here. I want them to see how
fast these cars go through the corners. I want them to see at least a
few laps.”
Gordon made it back in plenty of
time for the mandatory driver’s
meeting in Charlotte and was
eager to chase his fourth CocaCola 600 title in what’s expected to
be the final Memorial Day weekend
race of his NASCAR career.
“It was a lot of fun up there” in
Indianapolis, Gordon said before
the Sprint Cup race. “But it’s great
to be back here in Charlotte.”
Gordon grew up in nearby
Pittsboro, Indiana, and remembers
watching the 500 and thinking to
himself that there was always
someone important pacing those
high-tech cars to the start-finish
line.
“I remember when I was living in
Indiana, pursuing other kinds of
racing, and IndyCar was on the
radar,” he said. “I went to several
IndyCar races to be introduced to
car owners and drivers and tried to
get in my foot there. NASCAR was
Juan’s World!
Montoya beats Power for
second Indy 500 victory
AP photo
CArL edwArds does a back flip from his car after winning the Sprint Cup Coca-Cola 600 at
Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., Sunday.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — His
career at a crossroads, his confidence shot, Juan Pablo Montoya
received a lifeline from The
Captain.
Roger Penske called the driver
in late 2013, when Montoya found
himself without a job after seven
frustrating seasons in NASCAR
that had turned one of the baddest drivers on the planet into a
struggling also-ran.
The catch? Penske’s offer was a
return to Indy cars, which
Montoya had left behind years
ago. The Colombian jumped at the
opportunity and cashed in on it
Sunday with his second
Indianapolis 500 victory.
The first one was 15 years ago
and a stepping stone to Formula
One.
The second one came for a 39year-old man who proved JPM is
back.
In a moment of sincerity following his win, flanked by Team
Penske President Tim Cindric,
Montoya briefly suggested how
much this one meant to him.
“I’m glad I am proving them
right, that they made the right
choice,” he said, pausing and lowering his eyes. “I’m loving racing
right now.”
Oh, that was evident for two
weeks at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, where Montoya confidently boasted to his three teammates that he’d win the race.
On Sunday, he twice drove from
the back of the field and fearlessly
charged into the final few laps as
the leader in a race where few
wanted to be out front with the
checkered flag looming, and held
off teammate Will Power.
That 2000 victory was easy, he’s
always said so, and when a driver
leads 167 of the 200 laps, it clearly
was a relaxed Sunday drive.
Win No. 2 was a battle from the
very beginning. Montoya started
15th but an accident on the first
lap brought out the caution and
Montoya was hit from behind by
Simona de Silvestro under yellow.
He had to pit to repair the damage
and restarted second-to-last in the
field.
After working his way back
through the field, he was penalized for running over his air hose
during a pit stop — and again was
sent deep into the pack.
“Montoya coming from all the
way in the back — I’ll tell you, you
give that guy the bit and put it in
his mouth ... he doesn’t give up,”
Penske said.
His victory gave Penske his 16th
Indianapolis 500 win, and first
since Helio Castroneves in 2009.
Penske also joined Chip Ganassi
as the only owners to win the
Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis
500 in the same year. Ganassi did
it in 2010; Joey Logano won the
Daytona 500 for Penske in
February.
The 15 years between Indy 500
victories are a record for a driver,

Edwards races to first
victory for new team
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Even a master strategist like Joe Gibbs wasn’t sure his team made
the right call.
The Super Bowl-winning coach, owner of Joe
Gibbs Racing, had followed driver Denny Hamlin
who was on top down the stretch in the CocaCola 600. But when Hamlin went to the pits to
fix a wheel vibration, Gibbs saw team newcomer
Carl Edwards was out front as his fuel was
dwindling down.
“I turned around with nine to go and said, ‘We
can’t make this, can we?’” Gibbs said.
Yes, they could. Edwards outlasted Greg Biffle
over the final 20 laps to win the Coca-Cola 600
and take his first victory since joining JGR this
season.
“I just had this feeling that we were gearing up
for some really great stuff,” Edwards said. “I
guess for me, it’s relief because I don’t have to
worry about the points.”
Edwards is the third Gibbs racer with a victory this season, joining Matt Kenseth and Denny
Hamlin as likely entrants for the 10-race, endof-the-season championship chase.
Still, it took crew chief Darian Grubb’s call to
pit earlier than most and stay out on the track

Foltynewicz pitches into 8th
in Braves’ win over Brewers
ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta rookie
Mike Foltynewicz had command of
his pitches, and that gave him the
edge he needed to top Jimmy
Nelson and the Milwaukee
Brewers.
Foltynewicz threw three-hit ball
for 7 2-3 innings, leading the
Braves over Nelson and the
Brewers 2-1 Sunday.
Foltynewicz (3-1) allowed one
run in his longest start in the
majors. He struck out seven with
only one walk.
“He was dominant, really, the
whole game,” Braves manager
Fredi Gonzalez said. “It was a nice
AP photo start to build on.”
AtLAntA’s AndreLton simmons drives in a run with a base hit against the Milwaukee Brewers,
Nelson (2-5) couldn’t overcome
five walks, including two in the
in the sixth inning Sunday at Atlanta’s Turner Field.
Braves’ two-run sixth.
“Terrible,” Nelson said. “My
command was bad and I didn’t
make pitches when I needed to.”
Jason Grilli struck out three in
the ninth for his 13th save.
Nelson matched Foltynewicz
through five scoreless innings but
couldn’t keep pace in the sixth,
when the Braves scored two runs
on two walks and two hits, including Andrelton Simmons’ RBI single.
Foltynewicz kept his pitch
count down early, throwing only
52 through five innings.
“We just couldn’t get anything
going against him,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “He’s got
a good fastball and we were hav-
ing quick at-bats. He was just
good.”
The three hits and one run
allowed were career lows for
Foltynewicz, who said, “I’ve felt
better in previous starts.”
The Braves (22-21) won three of
four in the series to move over
.500 for the first time since April
27.
The 23-year-old Foltynewicz
was one of three players acquired
by Atlanta in the offseason trade
that sent Evan Gattis to Houston.
He was called up from Triple-A
Gwinnett on May 1. He lowered
his ERA from 5.32 to 4.25.

LeBron’s triple-double helps Cavs top Hawks in thriller
CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron
James dropped to his knees and
slapped the floor with his hand.
He was exhausted and exhilarated — and one win from the
NBA Finals.
James shook off an atrocious
shooting start and withstood
Atlanta’s gritty comeback to
record a triple-double, and the
Cleveland Cavaliers took a 3-0
lead in the Eastern Conference
finals with a 114-111 win in overtime on Sunday night over the
Hawks.
James missed his first 10
shots, but finished with 37 points,
18 rebounds and 13 assists. The
Cavs needed every single one of
them to hold off the top-seeded
Hawks, who fought Cleveland
until the final seconds despite
being without injured shooter
Kyle Korver and losing Al Horford,
who was ejected in the first half.
James, who favored his right
leg for most of the fourth quarter
and OT, hit a 3-pointer with 36.4
seconds left to put the Cavs ahead
by one, and the superstar
dropped a runner with 12.8 left to
make it 114-111.
“He just wouldn’t let us lose,”
coach David Blatt said.
Atlanta had two chances to tie
it in the final seconds, but Shelvin
Mack missed two 3-pointers.
When the final horn sounded,
James collapsed to the floor and
had to be helped to his feet by his
teammates. It was their turn to
carry him.
“Started out the game just out
of character, out of rhythm. But I
had to make a difference,” James
said. “It’s a great feeling to be able
to make plays for your teammates. I’m happy I was able to
make a few.”
James will have just one day to
rest up before the Cavs try to earn
their second Finals trip — and the
fifth in a row for James — in
Game 4 on Tuesday night.
Jeff Teague scored 30 points
and Paul Millsap 22 for the
Hawks, who scratched and clawed
for 53 minutes.
Down 10 in the fourth, the
Hawks showed championship
toughness and nearly pulled off a
win that would have guaranteed
them another home game on
Thursday. They’ll have to dig deep
again, and they are facing long
odds to win the series as no NBA
team has ever overcome a 3-0
deficit.
“I’m very proud of the way our
guys competed,” coach Mike
Budenholzer said.
Teague dropped a nasty, stepback jumper with 55 seconds left
to put the Hawks up 111-109, but
James answered — following an
offensive rebound by Tristan
Thompson — to knock down a
corner 3 like the one he made at
the buzzer to beat Chicago in the
second round, making it 112-111
with 36.4 seconds left.
James then hit his runner over
Millsap and the Cavs and 20,000
fans held their breath as Mack
took two cracks at the rim.
The Cavs were again missing
All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, sidelined for his second straight game
with an injured left knee.
But Cleveland has James, and
even on a night when his shot
wasn’t falling, he carried the Cavs,
who can earn their first trip to the
Finals since James took them
there in 2007.
Matthew Dellavedova and J.R.
Smith added 17 points apiece for
Cleveland.
The Hawks took a one-point
lead into third quarter when
James decided to seize control of
the game. He recorded 15 points,
six rebounds and six assists in
the period as Cleveland went
ahead by 10.
Already in a bind, the Hawks
were dealt another major blow
when Horford was ejected in the
final minute of the first half for

there, we came out in front.”
Edwards hadn’t won in 31
races since June 2014 at
Sonoma. He ended his long association with Roush Fenway
Racing this past offseason, hoping for bigger things with JGR.
He got it at Charlotte Motor
Speedway after shuffling in front
as most of his competitors needed green-flag pit stops close to
the end. Most figured Edwards
would have to stop, too, but he
remained on the track and
cruised to his first victory at
Charlotte.
Greg Biffle was second, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr.,
pole-sitter Matt Kenseth and
Martin Truex Jr., who had his
11th top-10 finish in 12 events
this season.
Edwards parked his car, did
his signature back flip and
rushed into the waiting arms of
his crew, all jumping around in
celebration. He climbed into the
stands to grab the checkered flag
before heading to victory lane.
The win gave JGR a Charlotte
sweep after Denny Hamlin won
the All-Star Race on May 16th.
Hamlin looked like he might
gain the sweep on his own, leading the pack with less than 50
laps remaining. But Hamlin felt a
vibration in a wheel and had no
choice but to head to the pits to
straighten out — costing him his
chance at the victory.
Hamlin finished eighth, then
went to the care center to get
checked out of complaining of
migraine
headaches.
He
returned
to
congratulate
Later, as Montoya began the traditional victory lap around the 2.5mile track in a convertible,
Ganassi stopped the car to give
Montoya a hug, smile and thumbs
up.
“We’re still good friends. He
made a business decision and
that’s what it was,” Montoya said
of his former boss. “He brought
his A-game, and we did as well.”
It was thought that the leader
on the final lap would be a sitting
duck, but Montoya didn’t care as
he charged past Power with three
laps remaining and stayed out
front when it counted.
“Montoya got that last run and
maybe I was a bit nice to him into
(turn) 1 and lifted,” said Power.
“That was some serious racing
there, a lot of fun.”
Montoya, sometimes a surly
and scowling veteran, grinned
ear-to-ear Sunday as he reveled in
his return to relevance. He’s the
IndyCar Series points leader and
now has two wins this season.
“This is what racing in IndyCar
is all about — awesome racing all
the way down to the wire,” said
Montoya, who won just two Sprint
Cup Series races in seven seasons
driving for Ganassi in NASCAR.
Montoya led just nine total laps
— far fewer than the race-high 84
by pole-sitter Dixon — but he only
had to be out front for the one that
mattered.
Chevrolet, which has dominated both the entire month at
Indianapolis and this IndyCar
season, took the top four spots
and eight of 10. Graham Rahal
and Marco Andretti finished fifth
and sixth to represent Honda,
which grossly underperformed
the entire month in the speedway
debut of the new aerokits.
The body work designs by the
two manufacturers have been
under scrutiny since three cars —
all Chevys — went airborne during practice last week. The driver
James Hinchcliffe suffered a lifethreatening leg injury in an unrelated crash and he has been hospitalized since Monday.
With a genuine concern about
cars taking flight lingering over
the race, IndyCar wasn’t sure that
a quick fix a week ago had truly
solved the problem.
But, the race had no issues
aside from typical racing accidents, including one that gave
Sebastian Saavedra a contusion
to his foot. There were some pit
road incidents involving crew
members, and one of Dale Coyne
Racing’s crew members went to a
local hospital with an ankle injury
after he was struck by James
Davison during pit stops.
Castroneves, one of the drivers
to go airborne last week, said the
final 15 laps of racing was too
dangerous.
“I’d rather go airborne than get
to the last 15 laps of this race just
to see the level of aggressiveness,”
he said. “I am not happy with
these guys. I don’t care if they
crash each other they can go
ahead and hurt themselves, but
when they put me into that scenario that is when I get upset.”

while others scrambled to tank
up and get fresh tires.
“We were not going to win this
race on pure speed. That was
obvious the first 550 miles or so,”
Edwards said. “So (Grubb) put
us in a position to win. Those
guys were definitely fast and
Darian beat them to it.”
“It may be a fuel mileage win,
but it’s still whoever gets from
the start-finish line to the startfinish line over 600 miles the
fastest,” Grubb said. “So it doesn’t really matter how we get

surpassing A.J. Foyt, who needed
10 years between his third and
fourth wins. That first win for
Montoya? It came when he drove
for Ganassi.
This victory was almost certainly going to go to a Team Penske or
Chip Ganassi Racing driver. With
a combined nine cars in the field,
the two owners showed over the
last two weeks that their organizations are head-and-shoulders
above the competition and
Indianapolis is their own personal
playground.
Penske and Ganassi drivers led
the majority of the laps on Sunday
— 193 of the 200 — and turned
the final restart with 15 laps to go
into a three-car thriller between
Penske teammates Montoya and
Power, and Ganassi driver Scott
Dixon.
Power finished second and
Ganassi driver Charlie Kimball
was third, ahead of teammate
Dixon. The two team owners
embraced on pit road as Montoya
headed to grab his bottle of milk.
Edwards, feeling better after taking fluids.
The fourth Joe Gibbs racer,
new father Kyle Busch, was 11th
in his first points race since
breaking his right leg and left in
a crash at Daytona three months
ago.
Edwards capped racing’s
biggest day. It began when Nico
Rosberg got his third straight win
at the Monaco Grand Prix. It continued in Indianapolis when onetime NASCAR driver Juan Pablo
Montoya won the Indy 500 for
the second time.
Edwards joins Hamlin and
Kenseth with wins this season,
all figuring to make the Sprint
Cup season-ending chase for the
championship.
Biffle had his highest finish of
the year after struggling to crack
the top 10 all season. He said he
tracked down Edwards despite
his crew telling him to save fuel.
“I got pretty close to him with two
to go, but then the fuel light
came on that the pressure was
low,” Biffle said.
Earnhardt had gambled on
fuel again as he had here in 2011
when he famously ran out of
juice on the final lap as Kevin
Harvick passed him for the win.
“I was hoping the guys in front
of me would run out of gas,”
Earnhardt said. “We tried to go
for a win. We didn’t have a fast
enough car so we had to do
something different. I like the
gamble.”
Truex, of the one-horse
Furniture Row Racing operation,
led the most laps with 131. He,
too, got shuffled back after having to pit late.
“They gave me an awesome
race car. I’m so proud of them. It
hurts to come home fifth and run
that hard and lead that many
laps,” he said. “But at the same
time it’s pretty awesome to run
like that. Sooner or later we are
going to get a little luck on our
side.”
Ryan Newman was sixth, followed by Brad Keselowski,
Hamlin and points leader
Harvick. Kurt Busch, who dominated the early part of the race
with 118 laps led, ended up
10th.
Jeff Gordon had hoped for a
strong showing in his final CocaCola 600, yet could not find a
rhythm at the end of a long day
that began in Indianapolis as he
drove the pace car for that race.
Gordon’s hopes faded quickly
as he got shuffled back to 29th
and never found the right groove
to get back into contention. He
finished 15th.
Gordon’s teammate, six-time
Sprint Cup champion Jimmie
Johnson, is accustomed to waving his arms in celebration at 1
1/2-mile layouts — he’d won
three of the four previous events
at that distance this season —
instead of watching the action
from the pits. But the defending
Coca-Cola
600
champion
couldn’t overcome a racecar that
had not handled to his liking
much of the night.
He spun out while racing alone
on lap 90 and survived that as he
slid without hitting anything. He
wasn’t so lucky later on, sliding
near the same spot and this time
striking head on with the inside
pit wall. Johnson took the No. 48
car quickly to the garage for
major repairs.
“I could have driven a little
easier and tried not work so hard
through traffic, but we said we
were going to come in and swing
for the fences,” Johnson said.
“We did and I hit the fence.”

Cleveland Daily Banner—Monday, May 25, 2015—17
Clutch final par gives Kirk the
win at Colonial, denies Spieth
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —
Chris Kirk was prepared to need a
putt for a playoff at Colonial.
No extra holes were necessary
Sunday for Kirk to get his fourth
PGA Tour victory.
Kirk made up for an errant tee
shot at No. 18 with a par-saving
and winning 7-foot putt after
playing
partner
Brandt
Snedeker’s birdie try slid by the
hole.
“My first three wins on tour
have all been little tap-ins on the
last hole,” Kirk said. “So to step
up and make a putt that I knew
was to win is something I’ll never
forget.”
With his closing 4-under 66,
Kirk got to 12-under 268, one
ahead of Snedeker, local Masters
champion Jordan Spieth and
Jason Bohn.
Bohn had a 63 that included
six consecutive birdies on the
front nine. Spieth shot 65, with a
near-birdie that became a bogey
at the par-3 16th hole.
When Kirk got in trouble at No.
18, Bohn and Spieth went to the
nearby No. 1 tee and were hitting
balls in preparation for a potential
playoff. Spieth was already back
near the green when Kirk got
ready to putt.
Kirk hooked his tee shot at No.
18 into the left rough, then hit his
approach from 155 yards over the
green. A nice chip set up the winning putt after Snedeker’s miss
from 12 feet after a similar tee
shot to finish a 67.
“Close friends with Brandt, and
play a lot of golf with him, and he
doesn’t miss very many of those
putts,” Kirk said. “Once he didn’t
make it, then I was able to change
my mindset.”
Spieth was only a few minutes
removed from a 20-foot birdie putt
at the closing hole, where more
than an hour earlier Bohn had a
28-footer that lipped the cup and
left him lifting the putter over his
head in frustration.
“I thought it was in, that’s why
I started running. I think it just
straightened out,” Bohn said.
“The second round set me
back,” Spieth said, referring to the
73 he had Friday after opening
with a lead-tying 64.
Spieth has finished as the runner-up in all three PGA Tour
events played in Texas this season.
As a junior at Georgia in 2006,
Kirk was the runner-up for the
Hogan Award given by Colonial to
the nation’s top college player. He
decided then to return for his senior year for a chance to win the
award — and did.
He now has a plaid jacket and a
$1.17 million check, which will be
plenty to cover the new home he is
buying in Georgia, after winning
on the PGA Tour at a saturated
Hogan’s Alley. The sun finally
came out late in the final round
after heavy rain overnight and
throughout tournament week.
After have the best round
Saturday with a 65, Kirk started

of the Colonial, in Fort Worth, Texas, Sunday.
the final day with an eagle. His
only bogey came after hitting his
drive at No. 7 into the rough.
Kevin Na, the outright leader
after the second and third rounds,
shot 72 and finished in an eightway tie for 10th at 9 under. He
was part of a leading four-way tie
that included Spieth after the first
round.
A 54-hole leader hasn’t won
Colonial since Phil Mickelson in
2008.
Spieth was making a bid to win
the first of consecutive tournaments at home in the North Texas
for the 21-year-old Masters champion from Dallas.
Like all week, Spieth got a rousing ovation when he got to the
18th green. That got even wilder
when he finished by draining the
long birdie, which was almost
good enough for a playoff.
“I wanted to give them something to cheer about,” Spieth said.
“It was nice to have that one just
to give myself an outside chance.”
When he saw that year’s race,
which Tom Sneva won, Gordon
says he was “just a kid watching
and aspiring to be out there.”
Gordon has come close to driving an IndyCar.
He was offered a ride by team
owner Barry Green in the late
1990s but declined. Then in 2003,
Gordon
was
invited
to
Indianapolis Motor Speedway to
test a Formula One car on the
road course along with Juan
Pablo Montoya, who would later
move to NASCAR and then return
to IndyCar. Montoya won
Sunday’s race for his second Indy
500 trophy.
Gordon won the first time
NASCAR came to Indianapolis in
1994, the young driver taking the
lead late when Ernie Irvan got a
flat tire. Gordon won three more
times over the next decade, and
then won his fifth Brickyard 400
after taking the lead on the final
restart last July.
“I accomplished more than I
ever hoped to in racing, but one
thing that eluded me that we pursued — my dad, my mom and
myself — was getting a chance to
race the Indianapolis 500,”
Gordon said. “And I’ve said before,
winning the inaugural Brickyard
400 fulfilled that dream.”
That doesn’t mean that Sunday
didn’t fulfill more dreams.
Gordon spent time hanging out
with veteran Johnny Rutherford,
then got to spend some time with
Rick Mears, the four-time Indy
500 that he still considers his racing idol.
“I certainly had plenty of opportunities to make laps around this
track, but never have I had an
experience like today,” he said. “It
has been a thrill already.”

AP Was There: Muhammad
Ali-Sonny Liston rematch
Editor’s note: On May 25,
1965, Muhammad Ali defeated
Sonny Liston in the first round
of a heavyweight bout that produced one of the strangest finishes in boxing history as well
as one of sports’ most iconic
moments — photos of Ali hovering over Liston on the canvas,
shouting at his opponent to get
up.
After the fight, the 23-yearold Ali called the punch that
dropped Liston his secret: “It
was a phantom punch.”
“It was lightning and thunder
— fast as lightning and booming as thunder from the heavens,” Ali said.
Liston, who was a slight
favorite going into the fight, said
afterward that when he got up,
he thought the fight was still
on.
“No, I didn’t hear the count,”
said Liston, who lost on a 12
count according to the timekeeper. “Didn’t you see us start
the fight again? When (the referee) stepped in I thought the
bell had rung.”
Fifty years later, the AP is
making the original story and
photos of the fight available,
including the black-and-white
shot by AP photographer John
Rooney of Ali standing over
Liston, which won the World
Press Photo award for best
sports photo in 1965. The same
moment was famously captured
in color by Neil Leifer of Sports
Illustrated, one of the most wellknown sports photos of all time.
——
Who blew the count in the
bizarre Cassius Clay-Sonny
Liston heavyweight title fight?
Was it Jersey Joe Walcott, the
battered old ex-champion who
served as referee?
Was it timekeeper Francis
McDonough of Portland, Maine?
Was it Liston who lay
sprawled on the canvas, got up,
fell again and then became in
one minute flat the quickest
knockout victim of all time in
heavyweight fighting?
Or is the argument all academic — punctuated with a
resounding
period
by
Muhammad Ali, the worshipper
of Allah, who conquered with
what he called his precious
secret — the anchor punch
which Jack Johnson took to his
grave?
The controversy of the quickest and strangest heavyweight
fight in history continued to
rage today while some stunned
spectators — those who saw it
live and the millions who
watched on closed TV — yelled
“fix!” and “fake!”
From the $100 seats, men
who only got a minute’s entertainment for their outlay let out
a howl that rocked the St.
Dom’s Youth Center.
“Fix, fix,” yelled scores in the
sparse crowd in the matchbox
arena.
“That’s the end of boxing,”
grumbled another $100 patron.
It was a strange climax to a
fight that was implausible from
the beginning — staged in this
obscure town in the Maine
woods before a handful of blase
Down Easterners more interested in how the trout were mating
in the Androscoggin River.
The fight started normally,
with Clay moving like a butterfly and stinging like a bee and
the grim, scowling Liston stalking and moving in.
Then suddenly, Clay lashed
out with an overhand right that
traveled only a few inches.
The massive, 215 1/4 pound
Liston thumped to the canvas
like a stricken ox. He lay there a
moment, then tried to get to his
feet only to fall back again.
Walcott appeared confused.
He looked around dazedly for
the timekeeper. Then he hovered over Liston.
When Liston fell back a second time, Walcott walked to the
edge of the ring. Liston rose and
the fight continued — in a state
of chaos. Clay belted the challenger three times before
Walcott rushed in to end the
fight.
Then Johnny Addle went to
the
microphone
and
announced: “The winner and
still champion — Muhammad
Ali. The time: One minute.”
There was wild confusion
about the official time. It was
important because at one
minute it became the quickest
knockout in heavyweight history.
Many said it was 1 minute,
45 seconds.
“It was one minute,” said
George Russo, the chairman of
the Maine Boxing Commission.
“There was nothing suspicious
about the fight.”
Liston complained afterward
that he was waiting to hear
Walcott’s count. He never heard
it.
“I could have got up, but I
didn’t hear the count,” he complained.
The timekeeper, McDonough,
said Walcott was looking at the
crowd and never at him.
Walcott contended he was
trying to get Clay into a neutral
corner and he expected the
timekeeper to continue the
count while he performed these
chores.
But he couldn’t find the timekeeper.
Under boxing rules, the timekeeper is supposed to start the
count at the time of a knockdown. The referee’s duty is to
get the fighter to a neutral corner, pick up the count from the
timekeeper and continue it
aloud over the knockdown victim.

Gordon said Sunday was his
first Indy 500 visit to the speedway since 1983, when he was 11.
Hawks
From Page 15
rolled up on Horford’s right leg
and the Atlanta big man responded by bringing his right arm down
hard and appearing to connect
with the side of the scrappy
Australian guard’s face.
The three officials took their
time watching a review of the play
before assessing Horford a
Flagrant 2 and tossing him. At
that point, Horford had been the
Hawks’ best player with 14 points.
“I did think he went at me, but I
should have handled it better,”
Horford said. “Shouldn’t have gotten caught up in that and it’s
something I’ll definitely learn
from.”
Braves
From Page 15
rooting for the Braves, faced
Atlanta for the first time.
It was scoreless in the sixth
when Cameron Maybin singled for
a nine-game hitting streak. After
Nelson made a wild pickoff throw,
he walked Freddie Freeman and
Nick Markakis to load the bases.
One out later, A.J. Pierzynski hit
a liner that was dropped by second
baseman Hector Gomez, who
recovered to throw out Markakis at
second base as Maybin scored.
Simmons’ single chased Nelson.
PAINFUL TWO-HIT DAY
Brewers star Carlos Gomez, who
was hit in the helmet by a fastball
last Sunday, had a rough afternoon.
While standing on deck in the
sixth, he was hit and knocked
down by Gerardo Parra’s foul ball.
Gomez appeared to be struck in
his hip or side, and lost his helmet
when he hit the ground. Gomez
bounced up, waved his arms at
Parra in mock indignation and
pointed toward the field as if to say
“Hit it that way!”
Gomez then was hit by a pitch
on his right hand from Foltynewicz
to open the seventh. He slowly
walked to first base after being
checked by a trainer. After advancing to third on a single by Khris
Davis, Gomez scored on Elian
Herrera’s sacrifice fly.
Brewers RHP Kyle Lohse, who
gave up seven runs in 5 2-3
innings in his only start against
San Francisco last season, will
face the Giants in the opening
game of a three-day series today.
The Braves open a 10-game
road trip when RHP Williams Perez
faces Dodgers LHP Brett
Anderson. The trip also will take
the Braves to San Francisco and
Arizona.
James went 0 for 9 from the
field in the first quarter and didn’t
score his first point until he rolled
in a free throw with 8:05 left in the
second. His first field goal came 61
seconds later, and with his shot
not falling, James seemed more
intent on setting up his teammates than trying to score.
Without Korver, the Hawks were
missing one of their most reliable
offensive weapons, though the
dead-eyed shooter had been off
the mark during much of this
postseason. He was replaced in
the starting lineup by Kent
Bazemore, who earlier in the day
stood by his comments that he
believed the Hawks were the better team.
The Hawks started well, getting
eight points from Horford while
taking a 12-4 lead. But his ejection was costly and the Hawks are
now one loss from having their
season end.
PARIS (AP) — Fourthseeded Tomas Berdych
eased into the second round
of the French Open on
Monday with a 6-0, 7-5, 6-3
win over Japanese qualifier
Yoshihito Nishioka.
Taking on a player looking for a first ever win on
clay at a big tournament,
Berdych used his powerful
groundstrokes to overwhelm
Nishioka from the start.
The hard-hitting Czech
broke for a 2-0 lead and
never looked back, sealing
the first set in 27 minutes.
The Japanese teenager
offered a better resistance in
the second set but his lack
of experience was flagrant in
the 12th game when
Berdych applied more pressure with a series of good
returns and broke with a
backhand down the line
that Nishioka returned
wide. Another break in the
third set was enough for
Berdych to improve his
record on the Parisian clay
to 18-11.
Berdych saved all three
break points he faced and
hit a total of 32 winners.
The Czech is playing at
Roland Garros for the 12th
consecutive time and has
reasons to believe he can
match his best result in the
French capital — a semifinalist spot he achieved five
years ago. After hiring Andy
Murray’s former coach Dani
Vallverdu, Berdych has
been in consistent form this
year, reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open
and finishing runner-up in
Doha, Rotterdam and, more
recently, at the Monte Carlo
Masters.
On a cool and breezy day,
the hot-tempered Fabio
Fognini kept his cool as the
28th-seeded Italian dispatched another Japanese
player, Tatsuma Ito, 6-3, 62, 6-2.
On women’s play, eightseeded
Carla
Suarez
Navarro continued her good
run of form, advancing to
the second round with a 62, 6-2 win over Monica
Niculescu. The Spaniard,
who was runner-up to
Maria Sharapova in Rome,
could face the Russian
defending champion in the
quarterfinals.
“I’m much more confident
indeed compared to last
year,” said Suarez Navarro,
who lost in the last-eight
last year. “One of the big differences between this year
versus last year is mentally.
I know what I’m doing.”
Local favorite and No. 29
seed Alize Cornet rallied
past Roberta Vinci 4-6, 6-4,
6-1 while former Wimbledon
finalist
Sabine
Lisicki
breezed past Monica Puig 63, 6-2.

For some, a common thought: ‘If I could go back?’
If you are least 50 years of age, when
you see the condition the world is in
today do you ever wish you could go
back to a time when life was much simpler, and much safer?
There was a time, right here in our
country, when you could walk down
the streets of our major cities alone, at
night, and not have to fear for your
safety.
Even in the more recent past, there
was a time when you did not have to
get to the airport two hours early so
they could search your luggage and
your person, and the vast majority of
our citizens were honest and trustworthy.
America is still the best place on
earth to be, and to be from, but I
believe any rational person would agree
that the erosion of our traditional values has caused all of us in the older
generation to wonder where we are
headed as a nation.
These are just some of the thoughts
that came to my mind a while back
when I heard a wonderful gentleman by
the name of Joe D. Ward, read something he had written titled, "If I Could
Go Back."
GUEST
ColUmniST
Jim
Davidson
Several years ago, he and some of his
siblings and their families formed a
musical group, called The Ward Family
Singers, and they are good, really good.
In fact, I have one of their CDs in my
player at this very moment. The children of this family have deep spiritual
roots, as their father Roy was a minister and their mother Mamie was a great
influence in their lives as well.
Like so many families back then,
they didn't have much, but they had
love and parents who taught character
values by example. The old home place
where they were reared came to be
known affectionately as "Old House,"
and here are some of the things that
Joe recalls from those days:
"What I would really like to do today
is go back to the farm to Mother and
Dad's house and this is what I would
do. I would greet them as always, but
this time it would be different.
“I would place my hands on their
shoulders and look them straight in the
eye so they could not fail to understand
what I said. Then I would say, ‘I love
you, I respect you and I appreciate the
way you raised me. You taught me
right from wrong, what a family is supposed to be, and what makes character
in a person. You taught me that everyone's important, and Mom, you taught
me not to be critical of people because
there are things I don't know about
which causes them to act the way they
do.
“‘You taught me loyalty, responsibility, honor, integrity and honesty, and
you worked to build those character
traits into my life.’
"To Mom I would say, ‘You gave me
your always-present optimistic attitude
that no kind of circumstances could
dampen, and also taught me to love the
little wildflowers at the first of springtime.’
“To Dad I would say, ‘You taught me
sportsmanship, the love of the outdoors, hunting and fishing, the thrill of
finding game or catching fish and you
also taught me the fun of simply being
in the outdoors whether we found game
or not. I can't name all the things you
taught me, but the most important
thing of all was that there is a God,
that He loves me, and how to trust
Him. You taught me by your faith how
important it is in my life.’"
There is more, but due to space limitations, I can't share it all. When I
heard Joe Ward read this, it was along
about the time the state of Florida was
experiencing the hurricane season of
2004, the worst ever in the history of
this state. Like millions of other people
across our country, I was deeply saddened by the loss of life and the billions
of dollars of property damage these
hurricanes caused and the months or
even years of disruption in people's
lives.
A disaster of this type always brings
out the best in people, but sadly it also
brings out the worst in some people as
well. When thousands of people had to
flee their homes and seek shelter in a
more secure location, it was necessary
for many of them to check into hotels
and motels.
When the word came to me that
many of these hotels and motels were
jacking up rates three or four times
what they normally charged, it just
blew my mind. Do these people have no
compassion for others? Do they never
stop to think that someday the shoe
could be on the other foot, and they
could be the one who needs help? I
hope you will keep this column and if
you ever hear or know of anyone doing
this, send it to them with my simple
words, "Shame On You."
When I had time to think about what
Joe Ward had said, obviously the people in our country who would rip others
off, who steal, who take advantage of
the misfortune of others, did not have
parents who taught them values, real
values like kindness, love and compassion.
I was always taught, and you probably were too, that when people are
down and out and hurting, you don’t
take advantage of them, you go the
extra mile to help them.

May
25,
1965,
Muhammad Ali knocked out
Sonny Liston in the first round
of their world heavyweight title
rematch in Lewiston, Maine.
(Ali’s victory generated controversy over whether he’d truly
connected when he sent Liston
crashing to the canvas with a
right to the head, or whether it
was a “phantom punch,” implying that the fight had been
fixed.)
On this date:
In 1787, the Constitutional

Jordan) became a kingdom as it
proclaimed its new monarch,
Abdullah I.
In 1959, the U.S. Supreme
Court, in State Athletic
Commission v. Dorsey, struck
down a Louisiana law prohibiting interracial boxing matches.
(The case had been brought by
Joseph Dorsey Jr., a black professional boxer.)
In 1961, President John F.
Kennedy told Congress: “I
believe that this nation should
commit itself to achieving the
goal, before this decade is out,
of landing a man on the moon
and returning him safely to the
earth.”
In 1968, the Gateway Arch in
St. Louis was dedicated by Vice
President Hubert Humphrey

Manhattan.
In 1985, more than 11,000
people were killed as a cyclone
and tidal surge devastated
Bangladesh.
In 1992, Jay Leno made his
debut as host of NBC’s “Tonight
Show,” succeeding Johnny
Carson.
Ten years ago: Texas
Supreme Court Justice Priscilla
Owen won Senate confirmation
as a federal appeals judge after
a ferocious four-year battle.
The defense rested in the
Michael Jackson child molestation trial without calling the
pop star, who ended up being
acquitted. Carrie Underwood
was crowned the winner of the
fourth season of “American
Idol” on Fox TV over Bo Bice.
Ismail Merchant, half of the
prestigious
Merchant-Ivory
filmmaking team, died in
London at age 68.
Five years ago: President
Barack Obama ordered 1,200
National Guard troops to boost
security along the U.S.-Mexico
border. NFL owners voted to
hold the 2014 Super Bowl at
Meadowlands Stadium in East
Rutherford, New Jersey. Nicole
Scherzinger of The Pussycat
Dolls and her professional
dance partner, Derek Hough,
won the 10th season of ABC’s
“Dancing with the Stars.”
One year ago: President
Barack Obama slipped into
Afghanistan for a surprise visit,
making clear the U.S. would
likely maintain a limited role
there even after its combat mission ended later in the year.
Pope Francis arrived in
Bethlehem where, in a symbolic
nod to Palestinians’ aspirations
for their own state, he called
the stalemate in peace talks
“unacceptable” and stopped
briefly to pray at the Israeli separation barrier surrounding the
biblical West Bank town. Josh
Beckett pitched the first no-hitter of his career and the first of

Dear Readers: Memorial Day
has become a three-day holiday of
picnics and cookouts. But there is
a reason for this commemoration,
so please remember the servicemen and women who died serving
their country. Consider visiting a
veterans hospital or military cemetery and paying your respects. At
3 p.m. local time, the National
Moment of Remembrance asks for
60 seconds of silence to remember
U.S. service members who gave
their lives in the line of duty. And
if you have a flag, it is appropriate
to display it at half-staff until
noon.
“Last Monday in May”
by John T. Bird
Birmingham, Ala.
We pause to remember those
who died
with so much courage
so much pride.
They’ll never come back
but memories endure
to remind us of freedom: fragile,
pure.
We’re worthy of their sacrifice
if we pause each day
not just on the last Monday in
May.
Dear Annie: I met someone
with whom I would like to be
friends. However, she has a repulsive habit. She constantly sticks
her thumb in her nose. How do I
tell her to stop without being
offensive? I otherwise enjoy her
company a great deal. — HFAR
Dear HFAR: Your friend probably has no idea she is doing this
and would be appalled to know
that others are bothered by it.
She most likely has some type of
irritation that makes her reach to
her nose frequently, and it may
have become a habit.
The next time she puts her
thumb there, and every time
thereafter, you can ask very nicely whether she needs a tissue. If
she says it itches (or anything
similar), you can suggest she talk
to her doctor or an ENT because
you’ve noticed that it obviously
bothers her frequently and could
indicate something more serious.
Don’t be snarky about it. Be sincerely concerned. At the very
least, she will be more aware of
what she is doing with her
thumb.

Traffickers’ camps had 139 suspected graves
WANG KELIAN, Malaysia (AP)
— Malaysian authorities said
Monday a cluster of abandoned
jungle camps used by human
traffickers contained 139 suspected graves as well as barbedwire pens likely used to cage
migrants, shedding more light on
a regional trade that preyed on
some of Southeast Asia’s most
desperate people.
National police chief Khalid
Abu Bakar said forensics experts
were exhuming the suspected
graves found at 28 vacated
camps in the hilly jungle area on
the border with Thailand where
trafficking syndicates were
known to operate.
“It is a very sad scene,” Khalid
told reporters at a police outpost
in the town of Wang Kelian several kilometers (miles) from the
camps, one of which appeared
large enough to hold about 300
people. “I am shocked. We never
expected this kind of cruelty.”
At one forest camp, police
found several parts of a decomposed body inside a wooden pen.
The parts were placed into white
bags and brought to Wang
Kelian, and district police chief
Rizani Ismail said they would be
examined by forensics experts.
Police said they would begin digging up other suspected graves
— mounds of earth, covered with
leaves and marked by sticks —
on Tuesday.
“We have discovered 139 of
what we believe to be graves,”
Khalid said. “We believe they are
victims of human trafficking.”
Prime Minister Najib Razak, in
Tokyo on an official visit, vowed
to find the perpetrators. “I am
deeply concerned with graves
found on Malaysian soil purportedly connected to people smuggling. We will find those responsi-
ble,” he said on Twitter early
Monday.
The finding in the northern
Malaysian state of Perlis follows a
similar discovery earlier this
month by police in Thailand who
unearthed dozens of bodies from
shallow graves on the Thai side
of the border. Thai police Maj.
Gen. Puthichart Ekkachan said
36 bodies had been found there
in seven abandoned camps.
The discoveries have exposed
hidden networks of jungle camps
run by human smugglers, who
have for years held countless
desperate people captive while
extorting ransoms from their
families. Most of those who have
fallen victim to the trafficking
networks are members of
Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya
Muslim community or impoverished migrants from Bangladesh,
part of a wave of people who have
fled their homelands to reach
countries like Malaysia, where
they hope to find work or live
freely.
As Southeast Asian governments have launched crackdowns in recent weeks amid
intensified international pressure and media scrutiny, traffickers have abandoned camps
on land and boats at sea to avoid
arrest.
Khalid said at least two of the
camps found in Malaysia
appeared to have been abandoned within the past few weeks,
based on the condition of items
left behind such as vegetables,
rice and almost new cooking
utensils. Scattered personal possessions included a pink teddy
bear and white children’s sandals, he said, indicating the possible presence of children at the
camp.
On three large whiteboards,
police pasted dozens of pictures
taken at the camps, which
ranged in size, with the largest
capable of holding about 300
people and smaller ones just a
few dozen. Some of the pictures
showed large, crudely built pens
made from wooden sticks and
barbed wire that were believed to
be used as cages.
“We think the migrants were
imprisoned in these wooden
pens,” Khalid said. “They were
not allowed to move freely and
traffickers kept watch at sentry
posts.”
Other items left behind included a rifle pouch, used bullets and
bullet casings, he said. Police
also found white muslin cloth,
used by Muslims in Malaysia to
wrap dead bodies, and a wooden
stretcher believed to have carried
bodies.
The findings were the result of
an operation Malaysian authorities conducted from May 11-23,
during which they combed the
steep jungle area along 50 kilometers (30 miles) of the border
with Thailand. Due to the difficult terrain, Khalid said the
investigation and forensics
analysis could take a few weeks.
Human rights groups and
activists say the area on the
Thai-Malaysia border has been
used for years to smuggle
migrants and refugees, including
Rohingya Muslims, a long-persecuted minority in predominantly
Buddhist Myanmar.
In many cases, they pay
human smugglers thousands of
dollars for passage, but are
instead held for weeks or
months, while traffickers extort
more money from their families
back home. Rights groups say
some have been beaten to death,

UK airport expansion threatens entire villages
LONDON (AP) — With its classic red phone booth, pub, and
medieval
church,
Harmondsworth’s center looks
quintessentially British. But the
search for a twee English village
isn’t what brings millions of people within a stone’s throw of its
boundaries.
The attraction is neighboring
Heathrow Airport, which served
73 million travelers last year.
Now Europe’s busiest airport is
proposing to build a runway
roughly through the center of
town, leveling the ivy-covered
brick
walls
of
the
Harmondsworth Hall guest
house and two-thirds of its
homes. A village that traces its
history to the 6th century would
be forever altered, and some
argue even what’s left would be
uninhabitable.
“There’s no compensation
package that would interest me,”
said Neil Keveren, who chairs a
local community group opposed
to the expansion. “We have a historic village with buildings that
go back 600 years. You cannot
replace that. You cannot buy
memories.”
Harmondsworth is under
threat because London and
southeastern England need
more airport capacity to meet the
growing demands of business
travelers and tourists. Heathrow
and rival Gatwick, 30 miles (50
kilometers) south of central
London, have offered competing
projects that will cost as much
as 18.6 billion pounds ($29.1 billion). Whichever proposal is
selected, homes will be destroyed
and surviving neighborhoods will
have to cope with increased
noise, pollution and traffic.
The issue is so toxic that
politicians created an independent commission to weigh the
options. Government officials
then postponed a decision until
after the May 7 election, effectively taking the matter off the
political agenda, if but briefly.
The commission is set to make
its recommendation as soon as
next month. It will then be up to
political leaders to make the final
decision. A furious public relations battle has raged in
advance, with placards all over
London’s subway system, for
example, extolling the virtues of
Heathrow or Gatwick. The commission has already rejected
other options, including Mayor
Boris Johnson’s proposal for a
new airport in the Thames
Estuary.
According to the commission,
all three remaining proposals,
including two different plans to
expand Heathrow, would meet
the region’s needs, though the
costs and potential benefits
would vary. Gatwick, for
instance, would cost an estimated 9.3 billion pounds and boost
Britain’s gross domestic product
by as much as 127 billion
pounds. The most expensive
Heathrow project would cost
twice as much and boost GDP by
up to 211 billion pounds, the
commission estimates.

JUSTINE BAYLEY stands in the front garden of her home in
Harmondsworth in London. Residents of the village close to
Heathrow Airport are campaigning against the expansion of the airport, which they claim will decimate their community.
Making the right decision is
crucial as London seeks to retain
a competitive edge.
In a globalized world, airports
offer the opportunity for investment bankers, lawyers, consultants and engineers to make faceto-face connections in major
markets where deals are made,
said John Kasarda, director of
the center for air commerce at
the
University
of
North
Carolina’s
Kenan-Flagler
Business School.
“This is contact sport, particularly at the global level,” Kasarda
said. “This isn’t done over the
net.”
And the ability to move — and
connect — faster makes a country and its economy more competitive. Opting not to expand is
a tacit acknowledgement that
the government is willing to have
some of those jobs go to a competitor,
such
as
Paris,
Amsterdam or Dubai.
“It’s the survival of the
fastest,” Kasarda said. “It’s no
longer the big eating the small. It
is the fast eating the slow.”
But there is a human cost, as
communities
like
Harmondsworth and others that
might be affected know all too
well.
Heathrow external relations
director Nigel Milton said he
understands that some people
are very upset, though he claims
there
are
residents
in
Harmondsworth who support
the project but might not want to
come forward to support the
idea. He acknowledges the local
impact, but said the company
would offer compensation packages — even to those whose
homes would not need to be leveled but who would find themselves living next to a runway.
“We believe we are being fair,”
he said.
Countries like Britain have
struggled with the notion of balancing national gain with local
pain. Harmondsworth and the
nearby village of Sipson are “stylized examples of the challenge all
big societies face: progress meets
obstacles,” said Tony Travers, a
professor of government at the
London School of Economics.
Britain has sought to strike a
balance between growth and
safeguarding its heritage, and
grassroots conservation movements have grown up to protect
cultural landmarks. Unlike communities such as Venice in Italy,
Britain hasn’t allowed beauty to
hamper progress — but that
doesn’t mean it isn’t taken into
account.
“If Harmondsworth were not
this beautiful village, this decision would be that much easier
to make,” Travers said.
Local campaigners say they’ve
been told the latest proposal
would avoid landmarks like St.
Mary’s Church, which traces its
history to the mid-11th century
and the Great Barn, a 15th century oak-framed behemoth —
192 feet long, 37 feet wide and
39 feet high — dubbed the
“Cathedral of Middlesex” by the
late poet laureate John
Betjeman.
But opponents say the proposed runway would be so close
to what’s left of the village that
no one would be able to stand to
live there because of the noise
and the bad air. In other words,
there’d be a church but no congregation, said archaeological
scientist Justine Bayley.
“They have no concern that
they are screwing up the lives of
hundreds of thousands of people
for their shareholders,” she said
of her village and others along
the flightpath and in west
London who are affected by the
noise.
Keveren nods. His fury is evident as he waves a 2010 election
leaflet in which Prime Minister
David Cameron’s Conservative
Party pledged to fight Heathrow
expansion. Keveren says he feels
deceived.
“My grandparents worked this
land. I have war dead in the
cemetery of the church. This is
my home and if I am forced to
leave here, who will it be for?
Foreign investors,” he said spinning with outrage. “The message
I would give to the world is that
the British government can be
bought.”
documented other cases in which
people have been enslaved on
fishing boats.
Since May 10 alone, more than
3,600 people — about half of
them from Bangladesh and half
Rohingya from Myanmar — have
landed ashore in Indonesia,
Malaysia
and
Thailand.
Thousands more are believed to
be trapped at sea in boats abandoned by their captains.
Malaysia
and
Indonesia
announced last week that they
would provide temporary shelter
for up to one year for migrants
recently found or still stranded at
sea. The U.S. has said it will settle some of them permanently.
The Rohingya, numbering
around 1.3 million in Myanmar,
have been called one of the most
persecuted minorities in the
world. Long denied basic rights,
they have been driven from their
homes in mob attacks in
Myanmar’s Rakhine state several
times since 2012.
More than 140,000 were displaced and are now living under
apartheid-like conditions in
crowded camps. More than
100,000 others have fled by sea.

Aquino: Philippines to fly usual
routes over disputed reefs
MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
Philippine aircraft will continue
to fly their usual routes over disputed reefs in the South China
Sea, the country’s president said
Monday, defying China’s challenges to its planes and those of
the United States.
President Benigno Aquino III
told reporters there is no
declared air defense identification zone over the area and “we
will still fly the routes that we fly
based on international law.”
“We will still exercise our rights
over our exclusive economic
zone,” he said, adding that the
“bottom line is, it has to be clear,
we will defend our rights to the
best of our abilities.”
Aquino pointed to the disparity
in the military strength of China
and the Philippines, saying
China should not bully a smaller
country because it would hurt its
image as it tries to create goodwill with its trading partners.
The Philippines is pursuing
international arbitration and
diplomatic efforts to try to resolve
the territorial dispute with
China.
When asked about what coordination the Philippines is having
with the United States, a key military ally, to address the problem, Aquino said the two countries are helping each other but
that he could not reveal details.
Defense Secretary Voltaire
Gazmin told reporters he will
meet with U.S. Defense Secretary
Ash Carter at the U.S. Pacific
Command in Hawaii on
Wednesday to discuss concerns
over China’s apparent attempt to
impose an ADIZ in the area.
“We will ask the extent of help
they can give us ... because right
now we are the one being bullied,” he said. “Let us see what
assistance they can give us to
more or less keep us safe from
harassment.”
Gazmin said Filipino and
Japanese defense officials were
also discussing the possibility of
transferring Japanese military
equipment to the Philippines,
which has one of the most ill-
equipped armed forces in the
region.
China said Thursday that it is
entitled to keep watch over airspace and seas surrounding artificial islands it created in the
South China Sea, following an
exchange in which its navy
warned off a U.S. surveillance
plane. The United States said
that its own aerial patrolling was
in accordance with international
law and that it will seek to preserve the ability of not just the
U.S. but all countries to exercise
freedom of navigation and flight.
Philippine military officials
have said China has challenged
its air patrols at least six times
since last month, with a recording asking the planes to leave the
Chinese military area to avoid
misunderstanding.
China’s construction has
intensified frictions in the South
China Sea, where Beijing’s
expansive claims to the waters
and reefs overlap with those of
the Philippines, Taiwan, Brunei,
Malaysia and Vietnam.

Journalism students aim to dispel myths about veterans
DETROIT (AP) — Wishing living U.S. military veterans a
“Happy Memorial Day” might be
well-intentioned but misses the
mark on an occasion meant for
remembering those who lost
their lives.
That and other timely
reminders can be found in a new
book researched and written by a
Michigan State University journalism class with assistance
from former servicemen and
women. “100 Questions and
Answers About Veterans” is
aimed at clearing up myths and
misunderstandings held by some
civilians.
“A day of mourning doesn’t
square with ‘happy,’” instructor
Joe Grimm said. “They’re thinking, ‘I’m still here. My day is coming in November (on) Veterans
Day.’”
The book, available in print
and digital versions, is the eighth
that Grimm’s classes have published. Others have covered
Hispanics and Latinos, Native
Americans, East Asians and
Muslim Americans.
“Given the similarities between
vets and other groups of people
who are frequently stereotyped,
this would be a place we could do
some work,” Grimm said.
Veterans told students they
can feel similarly conflicted when
civilians thank them for their
service. People mean well,
Grimm said, but some veterans
say kind words can ring hollow if
the person doesn’t know how,
when or why they served.
The book’s content was
reviewed by veterans of the
Army, Navy, Air Force and
Marines, including Jeff Barnes,
director of the Michigan Veterans
Affairs Agency.
Joe Brigman, whose 11-year
stint in the Army included three
overseas tours, said the guide is
both helpful and necessary.
“There really isn’t a whole lot
out there,” said Brigman, who
works in the state agency’s
employment section but wasn’t
involved with the veterans’ guide.
“You’ve got to get rid of some of
the myths and rumors out
there.”
Another issue raised by the
book is the widespread association of veterans and homelessness.
Although there are many
homeless vets, the guide points
out they are more likely than the
civilian population to start businesses or assume leadership
roles in companies.
Brigman said part of his job is
working on reducing unemployment among vets, which is 7.2
percent nationally for those who
people out.
Dallas also faced severe flooding from the Trinity River, which
was expected to crest near 40
feet Monday and lap at the foundations of an industrial park.
The Red and Wichita rivers also
rose far above flood stage.
Heather Ruiz returned from
work early Sunday to ankle-deep
water and a muddy couch inside
her home in San Marcos. She
wasn’t sure what to do next.
“Pick up the pieces and start all
over I guess. Salvage what can
be salvaged and replace what
needs to be replaced,” Ruiz said.
This May is already the
wettest on record for several
cities in the southern Plains
states, with days still to go and
more rain on the way.
So far this year, Oklahoma
City has recorded 27.37 inches
of rain. Last year the state’s capital got only 4.29 inches.
The reasons include a prolonged warming of Pacific Ocean
sea surface temperatures, which
generally results in cooler air,
coupled with an active southern
jet stream and plentiful moisture from the Gulf of Mexico,
said Meteorologist Forrest
Mitchell at National Weather
Service office in Norman,
Oklahoma.
“It looks like the rainfall that
we’re getting now may actually
officially end the drought,” that
has gripped the southern Plains
states for years, Mitchell said,
noting that moisture now reaches about two feet below the surface of the soil and many lakes
and reservoirs are full.
Wichita Falls was so dry at
one point that that it had to get
Texas regulatory approval to
recycle and treat its wastewater
as drinking water dried up.
By Sunday, the city reached a
rainfall record, nearly 14 inches
so far in May.

have served since Sept. 11, 2001.
Still, he adds, the cumulative
effect of media, movies and other
popular culture leave an impression the figure is much higher,
along with rampant homelessness, addiction and post-traumatic stress.
“That’s a very small slice that’s
out there — there are plenty of
other vets doing many other
things,” he said.
Introductory essays were written by J.R. Martinez, a wounded
veteran, actor, speaker and
champion of ABC’s “Dancing
with the Stars,” as well as Ron
Capps, founder of the Veterans
Writing Project.
The guide includes six video
interviews from Detroit Public
Television’s “Veterans Coming
Home” project, which involved
Michigan State students.

Five San Marcos police cars

rooftops, toppling trees, blowing

The weather service said the tornado struck with winds of about
100 mph at around 6:30 a.m.
Sunday. Fire officials said 10
apartments were heavily damaged and 40 others sustained
lesser damage.
Some 50 miles north of the

ground for kitty videos to a $20
billion visual menagerie. Along
the way, it’s also become an incubator for a new type of celebrity —
a digital Brat Pack that’s leveraging smartphone stardom to write
books, drop albums, design products and break into Hollywood.
“It’s the most powerful marketing platform in the world for millennials,” said Graham. “If you’re
trying to reach that audience of
girls
gathered
downstairs,
YouTube is the venue to do that.
Look at an artist like Fred (Lucas
Cruikshank). He went off to
Hollywood, created some films,
neglected his channel, came back
to YouTube and ... crickets. No
one was there anymore. You can’t
abandon it.”
In recent years, YouTube,
which is celebrating its 10th
anniversary this month, has
propped up YouTubers like
Franta — “creators,” the site calls
them — who attract millions of
subscribers that regularly watch
their online videos and the advertising attached to them.
Their popularity is still eclipsed
by music videos, which continue
to account for YouTube’s most
watched clips. Yet the fandom
that creators are inspiring, and
the ad revenue they’re bringing
in, can’t be ignored.
With his playful grin and doe
eyes, Franta currently boasts
more than 4.4 million devotees to
his personal YouTube channel,
where he speaks to viewers about
life, dating, candy, whatever at
least once a week. He began posting videos in 2010 while still
attending high school in La
Crescent, Minnesota. Now, he’s
releasing music compilations and
a line of locally grown coffee.
For every Justin Bieber or Psy,
perhaps YouTube’s biggest success stories, there are dozens of
Frantas. It’s a form of celebrity
that didn’t exist 10 years ago,
when YouTube was born and
made it simple to post video
online. Franta, who continues to
upload videos despite his other
endeavors, is young enough to
have been inspired by the
YouTube vloggers that came
before him.
“There are guys like Shane
Dawson and Phillip DeFranco
who I was a fan of, and now we’re
friends,” said Franta, sequestered
from fans behind racks of his
book, “A Work in Progress,” in the
Barnes & Noble stockroom. “Do
you know how awkward it would
be to tell some of my friends that
I watched them on YouTube in my
bedroom before I knew them? It’s
weird to think of it like that.”
The creators’ importance to
YouTube is evidenced by the
Google-backed site bankrolling
marketing campaigns the past
two years featuring such famous
(on the Internet) faces as Bethany
Mota, Hannah Hart and Grace
Helbig. While such creators vlog
about very different topics, they
usually share a similar aesthetic:
improvised delivery, quirky editing and personalities that jump
off screens.
Google has opened production
facilities in London, Los Angeles,
New York, Tokyo and Sao Paulo
for creators who have more than
5,000 subscribers to film videos.
The studios are equipped with
sets and equipment that transcend most YouTubers’ living
rooms and webcams. The spaces
also serve as social hubs for creators. Several of them will host
10th anniversary parties on
Wednesday.
“For us, creators are the lightbulb of the ecosystem,” said Kevin
Allocca, YouTube’s head of culture and trends. “Sure, YouTube
was originally known for viral
videos, and that was great and
still is, but if you want to be able
to build a business, you need to
be able to create a following. I
think it’s a very different model
than traditional media. It’s about
maximizing the connection with
an audience.”
That’s not so different from the
genesis of YouTube, which
entered its beta phase in May
2005. The first-ever video posted
on the site was a crude 19-second
clip titled “Me at the Zoo” that featured YouTube co-founder Jawed
Karim speaking directly to the
camera about the “cool” elephants at the San Diego Zoo.
It’s been a decade, and while
video lengths are longer and resolutions are higher, the sentiment
is the same: watch me.
The next evolution for online
video has seemingly already
arrived, with such sites and apps
as Twitch, Periscope, Meerkat
and YouNow making it easier
than ever to stream live video.
That’s a feature YouTube has in
its arsenal but the streaming
video giant has yet to solidify itself
as a live video destination.
“There’s a ton of opportunity for
innovation there,” said Allocca.
“As it becomes easier to stream
and take advantages of audiences
built on YouTube, there’s going to
be some interesting stuff. It’s
another one of those things that’s
really hard to predict what will be
next. I definitely think live experiences and people gathering
around singular moments will
continue to grow.”
If the rise of YouTube over the
past decade is any indication, so
will the lines to meet creators.

YouTube, which redefined celebrity, celebrates decade online
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s a
meet-and-greet worthy of an Alist star.
Outside the three-story bookstore at the outdoor shopping
mecca known as The Grove, hundreds of mostly young women
have formed a line that stretches
past trendy clothing stores and
spills out onto a nearby street.
They’re waiting to have Connor
Franta, an affable 22-year-old
Internet personality best known
for delivering diary-like monologues on YouTube, sign a copy of
his new memoir.
The irony of a YouTube star
drawing a massive crowd at a
bookstore isn’t lost on talent
manager Andrew Graham.
“A year ago, I went to New York
and tried to get a book publisher
to take a meeting with me,” said
Graham, who represents Franta
and
other
mega-popular
YouTubers. “I had one meeting,
and they laughed at me. Here we
are a year later at Barnes & Noble
in Los Angeles with a New York
Times best-selling author who is
a client. I think that says it all. It’s
a 180-degree turn.”
Franta isn’t a singer, chef,
comedian or athlete. He’s a
YouTube star angling to be the
Oprah Winfrey for millennials.

Storms flood Plains, Midwest, killing 3, forcing evacuations
SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) —
Record rainfall wreaked havoc
across a swath of the Plains and
Midwest on Sunday, causing
flash floods in normally dry
riverbeds, spawning tornadoes
and forcing at least 2,000 people
in Texas from their homes.
Tornadoes struck, severely
damaging an apartment complex
in Houston, Texas. A firefighter
in Oklahoma was swept to his
death while trying to rescue people from high water and a
woman in Tulsa died in a trafficrelated crash. In Texas, a man’s
body was recovered from a flooded area along the Blanco River,
which rose 26 feet in just one
hour and left piles of wreckage
20 feet high, authorities said.
“It looks pretty bad out there,”
said Hays County emergency
management
coordinator
Kharley Smith, describing the
destruction in Wimberley, a
community that is part of a fastgrowing corridor between Austin
and San Antonio. “We do have
whole streets with maybe one or
two houses left on them and the
rest are just slabs,” she said,
noting late Sunday that three
people from Wimberley still
weren’t accounted for.
From 350 to 400 homes were
destroyed in Wimberley, many of
them washed away, Smith said.
In nearby San Marcos, flooding
had damaged about 300 homes,
she said.
Authorities also warned people to honor a night-time curfew
and stay away from damaged
areas, since more rain was on
the way, threatening more floods

the eternal sources of the American spirit and from the generations of American youth.
