Greenway Park stage completion
expected soon, board chair says
By JOYANNA LOVE
Banner Senior Staff Writer
The Greenway Park stage is taking
shape.
The large wooden trusses to support
the roof of the stage are being
installed, and the back wall has been
completed.
“They are making good progress,”
Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway
board chair Cameron Fisher said.
Fisher said he is thankful for the
expertise and time that Men and
Women of Action have lent to the program.
“They are doing all those things that
we would have had to hire an artisan
to do, like cutting those trusses,”
Fisher said.
He explained that without the organization’s participation, the cost of the
project would be “untold thousands of
“Things moved a lot faster
than we thought they would.
When we first talked about
having the stage in by spring
2015, everybody just kind of
laughed, now here it is almost
a reality, thanks to the
generosity of our donors.”

dollars more.”
“They seem pretty confident that
they can have it done by next month,”
Fisher said.
He said a specific date has not been
determined.
When completed, the stage will have
a look similar to the pavilion, with
stacked stone and a green roof.
Even though it has not been com-
pleted, the stage had its inaugural use
during this year’s “Groovin’ on the
Greenway” last month.
Fisher said response from attendees
“was all positive.”
“The sound and projection of sound
was great,” Fisher said.
The location of the stage is a deviation the originally selected site.
However, Fisher said he likes this
location better. He said the position of
the stage allows for multiple events to
be held in Greenway Park without
them overlapping.
A concert could be playing at the
stage, while someone has a picnic in
the pavilion and children play on the
playground, all without disruption.

as PROPERTy OWNERs clear out fallen trees and broken limbs from last winter’s snow and ice events, many are eliminating the
dried-out leftovers by burning brush piles. With the recent dry conditions in the Cleveland and Bradley County community, it is important to remember the requirement to secure burn permits before proceeding. If precautions are not taken, wildfires such as this one
are more likely.
Burning the ruins of winter?
Don’t forget to secure a state permit
By RICK NORTON
Associate Editor
A neglected impact of last winter’s heavy
snows and ice storms across Tennessee —
including the Cleveland and Bradley County
community — is the volume of felled trees and
broken limbs whose dried remains are now
being reduced to rubble by chainsaws everywhere and readied for brush piles.
And that means burning by landowners on
private land, one of the leading causes of wildfires.
About this time every year, the Tennessee
Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry
issues reminders, and repeat reminders, that
outdoor burning requires a permit through
May 15.
Given the recent dry conditions that have hit
the Southeast Tennessee area, securing burning permits is more important now than ever.
While state authorities are canvassing communities with fire alerts, fire departments
across the state are issuing their own
reminders about safe procedures in controlled
burns. The Cleveland Fire Department and
Bradley County Fire-Rescue are no exception.
According to a Division of Forestry news
release, much of the state endured a tough
cold season, one that left layers of snow and

a FiREFiGHTER GauGEs the approach of a wildfire before setting into action
to tackle the blaze. Dry conditions, which could lessen by week’s end, are creating
more of a threat of such fires as property owners burn winter-damaged trees and
brush.
Several projects are planned for
the 25th Street/State Route 60
area this year.
Even before the last plant is in
the ground on the 25th Street
beautification project, another
project has started just up the
road at Interstate 75’s Exit 25.
This Tennessee Department of
Transportation project will affect
the section of State Route 60 from
Candies Lane to Georgetown
Road.
“What they are doing is adding
lanes to the ramps themselves. In
the past, during peak hours there
have been issues with traffic backing up on the ramps to the interstate,” said David Sheely,
Cleveland Transportation Project
manager. “It is improving traffic
efficiency [for vehicles] getting
onto the ramps, traffic trying to
turn onto the interstate from 25th
Street.”
The project will cause some traffic delays throughout the course of
the project, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Mondays through Saturdays.
“From time to time there will be
temporary lane closures, but
nothing permanent. They just
have to provide themselves with a
safe working area,” Sheeley said.
The project will also address
grading, drainage and the addition
of retaining walls, and is expected
to be completed in September.
A major paving project for State
Route 60/25th Street is anticipated to begin this summer.
The project will resurface the
roadway from Crown Colony Drive
to Spring Creek Drive. The project
is in the advertising and soliciting
bid phase. The bids for contractors will be opened on May 15.
The contractor will then be
chosen so the project can move

U.S. inconsistent in pressing China’s banks on secrecy
SHANGHAI
(AP)
—
Counterfeiters use several of
China’s largest state banks as
safe havens, relying on them to
process credit card payments or
move money beyond the reach of
law enforcement in the United
States, where many fake products
are sold online. But the U.S. government has not taken a clear
stand on whether to push
Chinese banks to be more cooperative in tracing and seizing counterfeiters’ money.
On one hand, the U.S. Justice
Department has sued Chinese
banks, seizing the assets of counterfeiters under a law that gives
the government the power to do
so. On the other hand, the Justice
Department, under pressure from
China, has argued that U.S.
courts should more carefully consider China’s sovereign interests
before ordering Chinese banks to
freeze counterfeiters’ funds on
behalf of private companies.
Geoffrey Potter, a partner at
New York’s Patterson Belknap
Webb & Tyler law firm, said brand
owners should lobby Congress to
let private companies have
greater power to seize counterfeiters’ funds, like the government
does.

Cleveland Daily Banner—Monday, May 11, 2015—3
Long-delayed nuclear plant in Tennessee nears completion
SPRING CITY (AP) — Tom
Wallace started working at the
Watts Bar nuclear plant as a
young man in 1979, hoping he
could eventually become a reactor operator.
It remains a work-in-progress
for the Tennessee Valley
Authority. Wallace, 55, is still
finishing that plant 36 years
later, one of the longest building
projects in U.S. history. In a
bizarre turn, what could soon
become the newest U.S. nuclear
plant is a piece of 1970s-era
technology.
In the time it took to build it,
Wallace raised two daughters
and now has grandchildren.
Meanwhile, the nuclear industry has designed a generation of
entirely new plants now being
built in Georgia and South
Carolina.
“I would never leave this plant
until it’s running,” Wallace said,
standing outside the plant’s
turbine building in Spring City,
about
60
southwest
of
Knoxville. “This is an important
part of my career and life.”
If nothing else, the second
reactor at the Tennessee River
site is a cautionary tale for the
power industry. When it’s finished, it will provide enough
electricity to power about
650,000
homes
in
the
Tennessee Valley. The cost of
running a nuclear plant is relatively steady, and it does not
produce greenhouse gases and
other air pollutants.
But they are enormously
expensive and complicated to
build. The project ran decades
late. In the early years, workers
struggled to meet safety rules
and ran up billion-dollar cost
overruns.
TVA vastly overestimated the
demand for electricity decades
ago. In 1966, it announced
plans to build 17 nuclear reactors in Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi. By 1985, TVA canceled plans for almost half those
reactors because of a slumping
economy and spiraling construction costs.
The construction of Watts Bar
1 proved a big mess. Regulators
approved construction in 1973.
A dozen years later, TVA officials
requested permission to load
the plant’s radioactive fuel.
However, whistleblowers raised
concerns about construction,
prompting lengthy delays and
inspections. In a 1995 summary, NRC inspectors reported
they found poorly welded metal,
electrical cables that were damaged during installation, and
quality assurance records with
missing or incorrect information.
It took until 1996 to get the
first reactor running.
TVA deferred work on its second reactor, which sat unused
and was cannibalized for parts.
A contractor, Bechtel Power
Corp., estimated in 2007 that
finishing it would cost $2.5 billion over five years. The estimate badly missed the mark.
The latest projections show the
costs will be around $4.3 billion
— more expensive than a natural gas plant, but cheaper than
building a nuclear plant from
scratch.
The utility says its electrical
demand is relatively flat.
Starting the nuclear plant will
allow it to shutter dirtier coalfired plants. It’s also a longterm hedge in case natural gas
prices rise in the future, TVA
President Bill Johnson said.
“This is going to be a very
effective, economic proposition,”
he said.
Federal safety regulators will
decide in the coming weeks
whether to grant the plant an
operating license. Johnson said
the facility expects to load its
nuclear fuel toward the end of
the summer and gradually start
operations.
Construction got off to a
rough start, with an audit by
TVA’s Office of the Inspector
General accusing program managers of being ineffective, failing
to provide enough oversight and
not disclosing budget problems.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission fined the utility
$70,000 in 2013 for failing to
verify all parts purchased for
the plant met quality rules. TVA
officials said they tracked down
every single part, and none of
them proved defective. After a
management shakeup, construction appears to have
improved.
The Union of Concerned
Scientists wants the commission to make the utility monitor
the plant for aging since the
facility is not brand new.
“It’s going to be the brandnew eight-track tape player in
the fleet,” said David Lochbaum,
director of USC’ nuclear safety
project. He also sits on a TVA
community action board, an
unpaid position. “I think they
can do that homework and show

Why homebuyers face a tough spring
Eager to buy your first home
this spring? Already own, but
want to trade up? Be warned:
there’ll be plenty of competition
Bidding wars have broken out
in hot real-estate markets like
Denver and Los Angeles, where
there aren’t enough houses to
meet demand. The lack of supply is a key reason home sales
nationwide have yet to return to
healthy levels following the
housing collapse in 2008.
“Inventory is still fairly low in
a lot of markets across the country,” said Skylar Olsen, senior
economist at real estate data
firm Zillow. “Buyers are not
going to have the easiest time
out there.”
Further tilting the market in
favor of sellers are low mortgage
rates, which have ratcheted up
pressure on buyers to wrap up
deals before borrowing becomes
more expensive.
Then there’s the matter of
price. While the overall rise in
home prices has slowed this
year, fierce competition in many
cities and markets will make the
cost of buying much harder this
spring. Prices are peaking or
coming close in roughly half the
country. Seven states set highs
in March, including Colorado,
New York, Tennessee and Texas,
according to real estate data
provider CoreLogic.
Homebuyers this spring will
need to pay attention to six
major factors:
— SUPPLY IS TIGHT
There just aren’t enough
homes for sale in many parts of
the country, and properties are
moving fast. In March, one
measure showed it would take
fewer than five months to sell all
the homes on the U.S. market.
Normally, it should take six.
Among the toughest markets
for buyers: San Jose, San
Francisco and Los Angeles, as
well as Seattle, Denver, DallasFort Worth, Texas, Nashville and
Boston, according to Zillow.
Homes in those areas are selling an average of 48 days faster
than properties in markets
where buyers have the edge.
“The same day the house gets
listed, it’s not unusual to get
four, five or six offers,” said
Brian Callahan, an agent for real
estate brokerage Redfin in
Madison, Wisconsin, where
homes take fewer than four
months to sell, on average.
Homebuyers are likely to find
more listings and pay less than
asking price in Philadelphia,
Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and
Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Markets with a bigger inventory of homes tend to have weaker
job growth and more construction. In cities with tighter inventory, job growth tends to be
stronger.
— A PREMIUM ON LOWPRICED HOMES
There’s heavy demand for
houses at the lower-end of the
market, and that means people
hunting for those homes are seeing prices rise faster.
Homes valued at $135,000 or
less climbed 9 percent in price
for the 12 months ending in
February, according to data
from CoreLogic.
“This is the hottest home price
appreciation prior to the spring
selling season in nine years,”
said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic.
By comparison, homes that
priced for $226,800 or more rose
5 percent.
— LOW MORTGAGE RATES
Long-term mortgage rates
remain near historic lows. The
latest national average for a 30year fixed-rate mortgage was
3.80 percent, compared with an
average of 4.21 percent a year
earlier.
Those cheaper rates are good
news for some homebuyers, who
will get better houses for lower
monthly payments.
How long rates will remain
this low, however, is a source of
much speculation.
The Federal Reserve has
opened the door to begin raising
its key short-term interest rate
from near zero sometime this
year. That would likely lead to
higher mortgage rates.
“The reason we see so much
competition is people have an
incentive to get in there before
that interest rate goes up,”
Olsen said.
Even with low rates, rising
home prices and stagnant wages
have made it tougher for many
people to save for a down payment.
Many buyers are choosing
adjustable-rate
mortgages,
which accounted for 16 percent
of all home purchase loans so
far this year, according to the
Mortgage Bankers Association.
Popular before the housing bust,
ARMs have interest rates that
are initially lower than a traditional 30-year, fixed-rate loan,
but the rate can jump after a few
years.
— FEWER CASH OFFERS
When housing prices bottomed in 2012, institutional
investors
such
as
The
Blackstone Group started buy-
ing troubled properties in ways
that fueled their recovery.
As prices rose by roughly 20
percent over the next three
years, these investors backed
away. Now they account for 3.4
percent of single-family home
sales, down from a peak of 8.7
percent in early 2013, according
to the housing data firm
RealtyTrac.
“The reason investors aren’t in
the market is prices are so
high,” said Glenn Kelman, CEO
of Redfin. “The smart money has
left the building.”
That means traditional buyers
— with a mortgage and a desire
to live in the homes — won’t
have to compete with as many
all-cash offers from investors
who want to rent or flip.
All-cash purchases have hit a
four-year low, accounting for 26
percent of single-family home
and condo sales at the start of
this
year,
according
to
RealtyTrac.
Metropolitan areas around
Boston, San Jose, California,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and
Jackson, Mississippi, are markets where there’s the least competition from institutional
investors.
In some cases, investors who
bought a few years ago are looking to sell the properties to traditional buyers, Kelman said.
Still, bidding wars between
investors and traditional buyers
are strong possibilities in places
like Memphis, Charlotte, North
Carolina,
Atlanta
and
Jacksonville, Florida. Those are
markets where institutional
investors bought up the most
single-family homes between
January and March, according
to RealtyTrac.
— FEWER FORECLOSED
HOMES
After the housing boom, a
widespread surge of foreclosures
helped push down prices. A rash
of short sales, when an owner
sells their home for less than
what they owe on their mortgage, also contributed to the
drop.
Fire sales still happen, but not
as many as before. The reason?
The number of homes in some
stage of foreclosure is down 12
percent from a year ago, and
bank-owned homes are down 34
percent,
according
to
RealtyTrac.
“Distressed sales are dropping
precipitously,” said Daren
Blomquist, vice president at
RealtyTrac.
Buyers will be hard pressed to
find such bargains in Salt Lake
Ex-CIA agent convicted of leaks could face long prison term
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A
former CIA officer convicted of
leaking details of a secret mission to thwart Iran’s nuclear
ambitions is making his final
pitch for a lenient sentence.
Jeffrey Sterling of O’Fallon,
Missouri, is scheduled for sentencing Monday afternoon in
federal court in Alexandria.

PetersburgClearwater.
— VACATION HOMES
Buyers are snapping up vacation homes, thanks to stock
market gains and a wave of baby
boomers searching for a pleasant spot to spend their golden
years.
Vacation homes accounted for
21 percent of sales last year, the
highest share ever measured by
the National Association of
Realtors. The number of purchases shot up 57 percent in 2014.
Those sales are expected to
hold steady this year, although
prices might increase as more
baby boomers cash out of
stocks, said Lawrence Yun, chief
economist at the Realtors.
With the stock market at alltime highs, Yun says, “this is
benefiting the top 10 percent
and one percent of the families
in the country and they’re in a
good position to buy vacation
homes.”

“These events challenge us to
do better and to work harder for
progress through both dialogue
and action,” he said at the session’s opening. He added that the
government has the authority to
prosecute officials who “wilfully
use excessive force,” and that
criminal charges have been

Several countries including
Brazil and Kenya voiced concern
over the extent of U.S. surveillance in the light of reports about

responded that “U.S. intelligence
collection programs and activities are subject to stringent and
multilayered oversight mechanisms.” He added that the country doesn’t collect intelligence to
suppress dissents or to give U.S.
businesses a competitive advantage, and that there is “extensive
and effective oversight to prevent
abuse.”
Faced with widespread calls
for a moratorium on executions

A recent tornado took out two

add more trees to the college campus.
Robert Brewer, Sustainability
Committee member, said, “One of
our past presidents had the redwoods planted, and these were the
only two coastal redwoods east of
the Mississippi River at the time.”
Brewer continued, “Since our
campus runs east to west, the
plan is to plant trees on the west
part of campus that are found in
the western part of the state and
plant trees that are found in the
eastern part of the state on the
east side. So, the campus will
mimic the change in tree types in
the state.”

forward.
A project for the intersection of
Georgetown Road and 25th
Street, which has been discussed
for some time, received funding
from the Cleveland Urban Area
Metropolitan
Planning
Organization this year.
“It’s been in the design phase
for quite a while now. It is just
now advancing to right-of-way,”
Sheely said.
The project will add an additional
left-turn
lane
to
Georgetown Road to keep cars
from backing up as they wait to
turn. Adding this lane will require
widening Georgetown Road from
the intersection to Clingan Ridge
Drive.
“There is a limited amount of
time that the signal can give each
movement to keep it from getting
congested, so this one lane, it
tends to back up to the south,”
City Engineer Brian Beck said.
“So, what we are doing … is
adding a left-turn lane and basically what that will allow is in the
same amount of time that one
lane flushes out, we have another
lane, so we have double the volume.”
Beck said he was unsure how
long securing the land needed to
expand the road and the construction easement will take.
“As soon as the right of way
phase is complete and TDOT
approves that, it can move in the
advertisement and bidding
phase,” Sheeley said.
The project is expected to begin
toward the end of this year or the
beginning of 2016. Beck said he
hopes to bid the project this fall.
The project will take about five or
six weeks once it begins.
“This project will help tie in
with traffic moving through this
general area,” Beck said, commenting that the project was “very
important.”
The project will be funded
through federal, state and local
funds. The local portion is 20 percent with the remaining 80 percent coming from federal and
state funding.
Beck encouraged those driving
in the project areas to pay attention and be aware of workers in
the area.

BURNING BRUSH, especially after a long winter whose snow and ice storms left some of Bradley
County and most of Tennessee covered in felled trees and broken limbs, is a leading cause of wildfires.
Area landowners who have been busy clearing brush with their chainsaws, and who now plan to burn it,
are reminded they are required to secure a burn permit.
Burning

ice in different corners of the
state at different times of the
winter. Putting it mildly, the
division statement pointed out,
“The recent winter storms were
hard on Tennessee’s landscape.”
With warmer temperatures
and generally drier conditions,
many Tennesseans — and
Bradley Countians — are resorting to one of the fastest, and
most convenient tools for eliminating excess brush from their
property ... the match, or
lighter.
“Burning woody debris from
the ice storms is an efficient way
of getting rid of such material,”
according to State Forester Jere
Jeter. “However, it is very important that citizens be safe when
conducting a debris burn.”
He added, “Obtaining a burn
permit in advance of outdoor
burning is our way of making a
landowner aware of when,
where and how it is safe to
burn.”
The rules are simple. They
just have to be remembered,
and followed.
One, area residents burning a
leaf or brush pile that is smaller
than 8 feet by 8 feet in size
should log on to www.burnsafetn.org to secure a permit.
Two, area residents conducting a larger burn should apply
for a permit by calling the local
Division of Forestry burn permit
phone number Monday through
Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The
number for Bradley County residents is 423-478-0337.

Bradley County’s immediate
neighbors include:
1. Hamilton County East,
423-478-0337;

County West, 423-332-3228;
2. McMinn County, 423-2637181;
3. Meigs County, 423-7455729;
4. Monroe County, 423-4427401;
5. Polk County: 423-3388395 for the Benton area; and

area; and
6. Rhea County, 423-7750151.
Phone numbers for all other
counties across Tennessee can
be found by visiting www.burnsafetn.org.
Burn permits are free.
The Division of Forestry also
reminds state residents to check
with their local government
jurisdictions for any burn
restrictions. Within the municipal limits of the city of
Cleveland, it is illegal to burn
brush. However, in areas of
Bradley County not inside the
city, it is legal to burn brush.

THIS SILHOUETTE shows two firefighters in the middle of fighting
an uncontrolled wildfire. Area residents are reminded of the need for
burn permits, at least through May 15.
“Burning woody debris from the ice storms is an
efficient way of getting rid of such material. However, it
is very important that citizens be safe when conducting a
debris burn. Obtaining a burn permit in advance of
outdoor burning is our way of making a landowner
aware of when, where and how it is safe to burn.”
— State Forester Jere Jeter
But, a burn permit is required.
The size of the burn will determine whether the permit can be
obtained online or by calling the
Division of Forestry.
Area county residents who
plan to burn brush, and who
have received their burn permits, are also reminded of several safety tips.
These include:
1. Develop a bare-soil perimeter around the fire.
2. Notify neighbors and local
fire departments in advance.
3. Have a leaf rake and access
to water for fire control.
4. Be aware that wind can
blow the fire in the wrong direction.
5. Stay with the fire until it is
extinguished; it is illegal to leave
an open fire unattended.
A few other safety reminders,
most of which are common
sense, include keeping children
away from controlled burns;
keeping flammable materials
far away from the burn site;
refrain from controlled burning
too close to homes or other
structures and vehicles as well;
do not start fires with accelerants or combustibles like gasoline, kerosene or paint thinner;
and keep a watchful eye for ash
and embers floating away from
the burn site that could potentially ignite surrounding brush,
tree canopies, roof shingles
and other products or materials.
“In 2014, debris fires that got
out of control were the leading
cause of wildfires in Tennessee,”
the Division of Forestry reports.
“[These fires] burned 5,366
acres statewide.”
Here’s another important reason to remember those burn
permits. Burning debris without
a permit is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine
and jail time, the state division
stressed.
Here are some additional reasons for following the rules.
“Arson was the second leading
cause of wildfires last year, but
accounted for the most acreage
damaged, with 7,800 acres
burned,” state forestry officials
stressed. “Wildland arson is a
Class C felony punishable by up
to 15 years in prison and up to
$10,000 in fines.”
Anyone with information
about suspected arson activity
should call the state Fire
Marshal’s Arson Hotline toll-free
at 1-800-762-3017.

Mississippi city mourns officers slain in shooting
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) —
With lowered flags and prayers,
a southern Mississippi city is
mourning two police officers,
while the four people arrested
after their shooting deaths
await an initial court appearance Monday.
Red roses decorated a chainlink fence Sunday near the spot
where officers Benjamin Deen
and Liquori Tate were killed,
and worshippers remembered
the men in a small brick church
just a few dozen yards from the
scene.

Curtis Banks, was charged with
two counts of being an accessory to murder after the fact, and
28-year-old Cornelius Clark
was arrested on a charge of
obstruction of justice.
A preliminary investigation
indicated Deen had pulled over
a vehicle for speeding and then
called for backup, which is
when Tate arrived. Gunshots
erupted in the road near the
Hattiesburg Housing Authority
office.
Warren Strain, a spokesman
for the Mississippi Department
of Public Safety, said it was too
early to say who shot the officers or how many shots were
fired, and it wasn’t clear what
prompted the gunfire.
Strain said Marvin Banks
also was charged with one
count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and with grand
theft for fleeing in squad car
after the shooting.
“He didn’t get very far, three
or four blocks, and then he
ditched that vehicle,” Strain
said.

Deen, 34, is a former “Officer of

In a statement, Mississippi

to thank all law enforcement for
their unwavering service.”
Gulf nations seek security commitments from Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaders
of Gulf nations unnerved by
Washington’s nuclear talks with
Iran and Tehran’s meddling
across the Mideast look to
President Barack Obama to
promise more than words and
weapons at Thursday’s Camp
David summit.
They want commitments from
Obama that the United States
has their backs at a time when
the region is under siege from
Islamic extremists, Syria continues to unravel, Iraq is volatile
and Yemen is in chaos.
“I think we are looking for
some form of security guarantee, given the behavior of Iran in
the region, given the rise of the
extremist threat,” said Yousef
al-Otaiba, the United Arab
Emirates’ ambassador to the
United States.
“In the past, we have survived
with a gentleman’s agreement
with the United States about
security. I think today, we need
something in writing. We need
something institutionalized.”

Weapons sales. A renewed call
for a coordinated missile
defense system. More joint military exercises. Better cooperation on cybersecurity, as well as
maritime or border security.
Making the countries’ defense
systems work in concert.
“I don’t believe there’s a single
country (in the council) that
doesn’t think a defense shield
for the region is a bad idea,”
Otaiba said. “The challenge is
how do you turn on a regional
defense system when different
countries are purchasing differ-
ent equipment and at different
paces? How do you link it? How
do you get the radars to talk to
each other?”
A high-level Saudi official told
The Associated Press in Riyadh
that his country wants a
defense system and military
cooperation similar to what the
U.S. affords Israel. The official,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he wasn’t
authorized to disclose details of
the Saudis’ wish list at the summit, said they also want access
to high-tech military equipment,
missiles, planes and satellites,
as well as more technology and
training cooperation with the
U.S.
The U.S. and five other
nations are working to complete
a deal intended to stop Iran’s
pursuit of nuclear weapons in
exchange for easing penalties
that are choking the Iranian
economy. The White House says
the Gulf countries would be better off with an agreement that
blocks Iran’s path to an atomic
weapon.
But the nuclear deal is not
the only source of unease.
Arab allies feel threatened by
Iran’s rising influence and they
fear a nuclear pact will embolden Tehran. They worry that the
deal would unlock billions of
dollars that Iran might decide to
use to further intrude in countries or support terrorist proxies.
In the midst of such palpable
tensions, Saudi Arabia’s foreign
minister said Sunday that King
Salman will not attend the summit as had been expected. Adel
al-Jubeir explained said the
summit coincides with a
humanitarian cease-fire in the
conflict in Yemen, where a
Saudi-led coalition is fighting
Shiite rebels known as Houthis,
and Crown Prince Mohammed
bin Nayef would lead the Saudi
delegation next week instead.
Obama had planned to meet the
king one-on-one a day before
the gathering.
Sen. John McCain, chairman
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, said Obama will
have to work hard to convince
the Arab allies that they do not
need to fear fallout from any
nuclear deal.
“Right now they feel that they
have no support from this
administration so he has a steep
hill to climb,” said McCain,
pointing to Saudi Arabia’s decision to act unilaterally in
Yemen.
McCain said that’s why the
Saudis gave Gen. Lloyd Austin,
head of the U.S. Central
Command, only “an hour’s
notice they were going to strike
Yemen.” Saudi Arabia has led
airstrikes against Iranianbacked rebels who have toppled
the Yemeni government.
Secretary of State John Kerry
declines to say exactly what
kind of reassurances Obama is
prepared to offer at Camp
David.
In general terms, Kerry said
Friday in Paris, the U.S. wants
to strengthen its “security-military relationship” with its Gulf
allies and tackle a variety of
problems, “foremost of which is
the Iranian interference in the
affairs of the countries of the
region.”
He said U.S. officials were
fleshing out commitments that
will create a “new security
understanding, a new set of
security initiatives.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham of
South Carolina, chairman of the
Senate panel overseeing foreign

in Sanaa, Yemen, Sunday.
aid, warns against the U.S.
offering a massive arms package
in exchange for Gulf nations’
support of a nuclear deal.
Graham said he isn’t opposed to
upgrading the military capabilities of Arab allies, but “if it has
a hint of being connected to the
Iran deal, I will do everything I
can to make sure they never get
one bullet or one plane.”
Jon Alterman at the Center
for Strategic and International
Studies in Washington wonders
if there is anything the United
States can do that would reassure the Gulf states when it
comes to Iranian expansionism.
“It seems to me that where
they most want reassurance is
where the U.S. is both least able
and most unwilling to provide
it,” he said. “My guess is that
the summit is going to leave
everybody feeling a little bit
unsatisfied.”
“May God keep them all in the
hollow of his hand,” he said.
The U.S. flag flew at half-staff
outside the Hattiesburg Police
Department after the shootings,
and red roses placed on a concrete sign wilted in the afternoon sun.
For many in the community,
the first death of an officer in
three decades while on duty
was a shock. The pain hit particularly close to home for Erica
Sherrill Owens, whose mother,
Sgt. Jackie Dole Sherrill, was
killed in 1984 while trying to
serve a warrant on a suspect.
When Owens heard that two
officers had been killed, she
said she hoped it wasn’t someone she knew.
“Then when I heard one of the
names, my heart just sank
because I went to high school
with him,” Owens said, who had
gone to Sumrall High School
with Deen and graduated a year
after him in 1999.
“We were great friends in high
school. He married his high
school sweetheart and he’s got
two kids and a great family,”
she said. “It’s just heartbreaking.”
Tate grew up in Starkville,
150 miles north of Hattiesburg.
Strain said he was a 2014 graduate of the law enforcement
academy.
He was known to his friends
as “CoCo,” said his stepfather,
B. Lonnie Ross of Jackson,
adding that Tate was 12 when
they met and already wanted to
be a policeman.
“He was the most respectful
young man you would meet. It
was a pleasure to meet someone
so gentle and nice,” Ross said.
“Everybody who met him liked
him.”
Jarvis Thompson, who knew
Tate from childhood, said he
wanted to be a policeman to
make a difference in the black
community.
“He wanted to become an officer because we’ve seen so much
of our peers get killed or end up
in jail,” said Thompson, 24, of
Starkville. “He was talking all
the time about how he wanted
to do better and make the place
better.”
Alberta Harris, who heads the
Briarfield
Neighborhood
Association near the shooting
site, said she both of the officers were humble.
“They cared about the people
that they were serving and protecting,” she said.
Police arrest 10 to 12 people
in suburban Boston brawl
REVERE, Mass. (AP) — Police
have arrested between 10 and 12
people after a large disturbance
broke out at a suburban Boston
beach.
Dozens of police cruisers from
surrounding areas made their
way to Revere Beach at about
6:15 p.m. Sunday in response to
a large-scale brawl that resulted
in several road closures.
State Police Lt. Dan Richard
says those involved in the fight
were “pushing and shoving and
throwing bottles.” He says the
bottles were likely plastic soda
bottles.
Police say between 100 and
200 people were at the scene
when the fight broke out among
several individuals. It is unclear
how the disturbance began.
No injuries were reported.
Richard says between 10 and
12 people were charged with disorderly conduct. They will likely
be arraigned Monday at Chelsea
District Court.

Happy Birthday: Be creative, use
your imagination and ask yourself "how
hard can it be?" Step up, be counted
By Ned Classics
By Conrad Day
and give back. It's how you feel about
yourself and what you have contributed
that will make a difference this year.
Strive for quality, not quantity, and you
will please everyone, including yourself.
Live life fully and appreciate what you
have. Your numbers are 3, 14, 21, 26,
33, 39, 48.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't be
fooled by an empty promise. Stick to
what's familiar even if it's boring. Selfdeception will lead you down the wrong
path. Ask a trusted friend for his or her
thoughts regarding your current situation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A fast
talker will try to take advantage of you.
Don't be gullible. If something sounds
too good to be true, it probably is. Make
a concerted effort to improve personal
relationships with talk, not cash. You
can't buy love.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will
have to compromise if you want to
accomplish anything today. Avoid
senseless disputes and focus on making money. It's important to work toward
greater security and a stable future.
Less talk and more action will pay off.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Bring
your ideas into the open and begin the
process of making them a reality. You'll
be surprised by the returns you get from
the effort you make. Love is on the rise
and a promise can be made.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Money can
be made, but not through a fast-cash
scheme. Make a change to your current
situation that is geared toward a higher
income. Steady progress can be made
if you are disciplined and willing to do
the work yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep
your thoughts to yourself if you don't
want to be called out by a colleague
waiting for you to make a mistake.
Focus on what you do best and you will
outmaneuver any competition you face.
Let your intuition guide you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take
action. This is not the day to sit back
and let others take the lead. Use your
common sense, expertise and knowledge to get what you want. Don't argue
or make a fuss; do whatever it takes to
bring about positive change.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Things
are looking up. Let your imagination
lead you in a new direction. Love is in
the stars, and joining forces with someone special will lead to a better home
environment. Develop your dreams,
hopes and wishes, and you will succeed.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Don't waffle or take someone's word as
gospel. Do your due diligence, ask
questions and make decisions based
on your findings and your needs.
Personal or professional changes will
be necessary in order to keep the
peace.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Don't feel obliged to take part in something that doesn't interest you. Time
spent doing your own thing will pay off.
A different approach to an old idea will
turn out better than anticipated. Follow
your heart and your dreams.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Consider making a residential move or
upgrade your current environment.
Talks will lead to positive changes and a
workable plan. Begin a project that has
potential, and it could become profitable. Speak your mind.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Uncertainty will cloud your vision. Step
back and consider what you want
before making promises you may not
want to deliver. Make your personal life
and self-improvement your priority.
Don't be fooled by what someone tells
you. Do your own research.
Birthday Baby: You are determined,
spontaneous and imaginative. You are
aggressive and inquisitive.

The Voice
It’s down to the “Live Semi-Final Performances” in this new two-hour episode, as
the last five contenders for this season’s
title put their sounds to the test again.
Judges Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine,
Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams offer
their pronouncements, and those opinions
— plus viewers’ votes — will play out in
Tuesday’s results show, which will leave
only four in the contest. Carson Daly is the
host.
8 p.m. on (WTVC)
Dancing With the Stars
What happens here will determine which
celebrities and their partners are still standing in next week’s Season 20 finale. Here,
it’s the semifinals, with the competition
guaranteed to be tough among the couples
who have made it this far in the contest.
One duo will be eliminated in Tuesday’s
results show. Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Julianne Hough and Len Goodman
are the judges — along with viewers who
cast votes. Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are the hosts.
8 p.m. on (WDSI)
The Following
More determined than ever to find Theo
(Michael Ealy), Ryan (Kevin Bacon) throws
caution to the wind as two new episodes
are combined in the two-hour presentation
“The Edge/A Simple Trade.” At the same
time, Mark and Daisy (Sam Underwood,
guest star Ruth Kearney) are close to
wreaking fresh havoc on the FBI — and on
Mike (Shawn Ashmore) in particular. After
an attempted deal goes awry in a drastic
way, Ryan makes a determination about his
future.
9 p.m. on (A&E)
Bates Motel
Granted, it would be a very short trip, but
the Season 3 finale, “Unconscious,” finds
Norma (Vera Farmiga) being driven to the
breaking point over Norman’s (Freddie
Highmore) psychological issues. Meanwhile, Emma (Olivia Cooke) reacts in a
surprising way to what would appear to be
good news, and Romero (Nestor Carbonell)
seals his fate in White Pine Bay as he finally chooses sides. Caleb (Kenny Johnson)
also makes a decision that brings about
major life changes. Max Thieriot also stars.
10 p.m. on (TRAV)
Time Traveling With Brian Unger
In the new episode “Pocahontas & Death
Valley Scotty,” host Brian Unger travels to
Jamestown, Va., in 1607, where the first
English settlement was built. In a complete
change of pace, Brian and his guests
then venture to Death Valley to encounter
a scam artist who sheds light on why so
many flocked to this unforgiving climate in
the late 1900s.

Dozens injured, 2 dead after tornadoes hit Texas, Arkansas
VAN, Texas (AP) — Emergency
responders searched the wreckage of communities in northeast
Texas and southwest Arkansas
early Monday, after a rash of tornadoes slammed the area, killing
at least two people and leaving
dozens injured.
Howard County Sheriff Brian
McJunkins said two victims who
lived in adjoining mobile homes
in Nashville, Arkansas, died after
several tornadoes were reported
in the area late Sunday.
McJunkins told KLSA-TV that
two other people in the town
about 50 miles north of
Texarkana
were
critically
injured.
In neighboring Texas, a likely
tornado pummeled the small city
of Van in Van Zandt County
around 8:45 p.m. Chuck Allen,
the Van Zandt County fire marshal and emergency management coordinator, said about 30
percent of the city was damaged
in the storm.
Allen said in an email early
Monday that a triage area was
established at a church and
about 26 residents were taken to
hospitals. The extent of their
injuries was not immediately
clear.
“Damages range from completely destroyed homes, damaged homes, to trees and power
lines down,” Allen wrote.
Allen said authorities were
going door to door in the city
about 70 miles southeast of
Dallas, hunting for injured people. Van has about 2,500 residents.
Utility companies are working
to restore “vital infrastructures,”
and road and bridge crews are
working to open streets and
highways to allow for first
responder access, he said.
The American Red Cross
planned to open a shelter at First
Baptist Church in Van, Allen
said. Calls to the church rang
unanswered early Monday.
The Van Independent School
District said on its website
schools would be closed Monday.
The National Weather Service
believes at least one tornado hit
Van on Sunday night, senior
meteorologist Eric Martello said.
Weather service crews were surveying the area Monday.
The storm was part of severe
weather that stretched across
North Texas on Sunday.
Further north, in Lake City,
Iowa, a suspected tornado tore
the roof from a high school as
about 150 students, family and
faculty attended a baccalaureate
and senior awards ceremony
inside Sunday night.
South Central Calhoun girls’
basketball coach Dave Birks said
they were able to evacuate to the
school’s basement and locker

If Clinton wins, foundation faces uncertain future
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary
Rodham Clinton’s family foundation, already the subject of
intense scrutiny in the early
days of her White House campaign, faces an uncertain future
if she is elected president.
Among the unresolved questions: Who would be able to
raise money for the Clinton
Foundation? Could it begin new
projects, both at home and overseas? Is there any way it could
operate unburdened by conflicts
of interest, real or perceived,
while one of its founders sits in
the Oval Office?
“I’m not sure the rules have
been invented to apply to this
situation,” said Diana Aviv,
president of Independent Sector,
a network of nonprofits, foundations and corporate giving programs.
While Clinton stepped down
from the foundation’s board
after launching her 2016 campaign, husband Bill and daughter Chelsea still hold leadership
roles. They currently have no
plans to stop their fundraising
and management activities during the campaign, nor is there a
blueprint for their involvement if
Hillary Clinton wins the election, people close to the foundation said.
Options being considered
include Chelsea Clinton taking
the helm, with her father playing a more behind-the-scenes
role; fully banning the acceptance of donations from abroad;
and implementing a more rigorous vetting process for domestic
donors.
Neither the foundation nor
Clinton’s campaign will pledge
publicly to give voters answers
about the organization’s future
before the November 2016 election, but some people close to
the Clintons want decisions
made before Election Day.
The people close to the
Clintons and the foundation
spoke on condition of anonymity, because they were not
authorized to speak publicly
about internal planning.
Campaign officials are also
pushing the Clinton Foundation
to be more aggressive in
answering the criticism of its
high-dollar fundraising. The
organization has raised more
than $2 billion since former
President Bill Clinton left office,
money it uses to run 11 initiatives focused on global health,
climate change, economic development, wellness and opportunities for women and girls.
That aggressive fundraising is
currently the subject of intense
scrutiny, as Republicans and
others look for potential conflicts of interests and signs that
donors to the foundation sought
to influence the Obama administration
during
Hillary
Clinton’s four years as secretary
of state.
The Clintons deny any improprieties. But the former president has started to hint that if
his wife wins the White House,
he may have to step down from
the organization to avoid blurring the lines between U.S. government policy and the interests
of donors.
“I might if I were asked to do
something in the public interest
that I had an obligation to do.
Or I might take less of an executive role,” Clinton said in a

University in Washington as part of the launch of the inaugural
National Action Plan Academy, a joint initiative of the Georgetown
Institute for Women, Peace and Security, The Institute for Inclusive
Security and the No Ceilings initiative of the Clinton Foundation. The
charitable foundation run by Clinton’s family faces an uncertain future
if she is elected president, with unresolved questions about who
would be authorized to fundraise for the organization and whether
new foreign and domestic projects could be started during that period.
recent interview with NBC News.
“But we’ll cross that bridge
when we come to it.”
Some people close to the
Clintons and the foundation say
it’s unlikely the former president could continue directly
raising money if his wife wins
election. But they say that could
be a slow and difficult realization for him to come to, given
how much of his post-White
House legacy is linked to the
foundation’s work.
“The challenge isn’t necessarily the organization surviving
the founders — it’s the founders
letting go of the organization,”
said Steven Lawrence, the
research director at the
Foundation Center, an organization that collects data on philanthropic organizations.
There is far less certainty
about the role Chelsea Clinton
might play in the foundation’s
future. The 35-year-old has
taken on a more direct role in
recent years and is an obvious
choice to take over from her
parents. But despite being wellliked by donors, some question
whether she would be able to
raise the same level of money as
her popular father.
Clinton Foundation officials
have discussed how to sustain
the organization financially if
the former president can no
longer directly raise money. The
conversations with donors and
others have focused not just on
the prospect of Hillary Clinton
becoming president, but also
the possibility that Bill Clinton’s
health leaves him unable to
keep up his role as chief
fundraiser.
A drive launched in 2013 has
endowed a $250 million fund to
help keep programs running
under those circumstances.
Donna Shalala, the former
Health and Human Services secretary and University of Miami
president who takes over as the
foundation’s president and chief
executive next month, is expected to do her own accounting of
its activities. Her appointment is
also seen as a signal to donors
that there would be continuity
in leadership if the Clinton family becomes less involved in its
operations.
The foundation is also weighing whether new projects, both
in the U.S. and abroad, could
start during a Clinton presidency, or whether worry about
potential conflicts of interest
would limit it to its existing
work. While the foundation says
there were no conflicts during
Clinton’s four years as the
nation’s chief diplomat, the
potential for such conflicts is far
greater should she become president.
The foundation has already
agreed to stop taking money
from most foreign governments
during her campaign, with
exceptions for six Western
nations.
Campaign officials suggested
additional changes to foundation activities are not imminent.
Spokesman Brian Fallon said
that for now, Clinton is “proud
of the foundation’s work and
glad that her husband and
daughter continue to lead its
day-to-day mission.”

Rickie Fowler delivers major
performance to win Players
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — After a record-setting finish and captivating victory at
The Players Championship,
Rickie Fowler could have
thanked a number of people.
His mom. His sister. His girlfriend. His caddie. His friends.
His fans.
He went in a different direction.
“Big thanks to 17,” he said. “It
was a big help this week.”
Indeed, the famed island
green at TPC Sawgrass was
Fowler’s biggest ally. Fowler
played the treacherous hole six
times and walked away with five
birdies, including three in three
attempts in the final round.
And when he faced that
daunting shot for the last time
Sunday, he was as good as ever.
Overrated? More like overdue.
Facing a five-shot deficit with
six holes to play, Fowler produced the greatest finish in the
tournament’s 34-year history at
Sawgrass. In a three-man playoff on three of the most visually
intimidating holes in golf, he
never backed down.
He notched his second PGA
Tour victory and probably put to
rest all that talk about an
anonymous survey that questioned his ability to win.
“I laughed at the poll,” he
said. “But yeah, if there was any
question, I think this right here
answers anything you need to
know.”
Fowler closed out his final
round with a birdie-eagle-birdiebirdie finish for a 5-under 67.

Lady Flames enter NCCAA World Series as No. 3 seed
From LEE SPORTS INFORMATION
When Lee opens play in the
NCCAA Softball World Series at
the Botetourt (Va.) Sports
Complex on Wednesday at 2:30, it
will face an old Southern States
Athletic Conference rival in
Southern Wesleyan University.
The Lady Flames, fresh off a
sweep of Mississippi College in
the NCCAA Mid-East Region, will
carry a 33-17 record into the
Series and will be the No. 3 seed.
Southern Wesleyan (23-19) is the
sixth seed. Both Lee and SWC are
transitioning from the NAIA to
NCAA Division II. The Lady
Flames have been a member of
the Gulf South Conference for two
years and Southern Wesleyan is a
first-year member of the
Carolinas Conference.
Judson University (Ill.) is topseeded followed by Simpson
University (Calif.), Lee, Oklahoma
Christian, Grace College (Ind.),
Southern Wesleyan (S.C.), Central
Baptist (Ark.), Mississippi College,
Oklahoma
Wesleyan
and
Cedarville University follow in the
10-team field.
If the Lady Flames get past the
Warriors, they will return to
action on Thursday and face one
of three squads. Central Baptist
will challenge Cedarville in a playin game on Wednesday morning.
The winner of that contest will be
pitted against Simpson later in
the day. Lee could see the club
that advances after those two
contests. The semifinal round of
the winner's bracket is planned

Drew heads into the NCCAA
Softball World Series with 17
home runs. She is hitting .420
with 14 doubles and 55 RBIs.
Dean is also hitting over the .400
mark while Lynn has stolen more
than 30 bases and carries a .362
average. Hannah has been a
standout for Lee coach Emily
Russell for the past four years
and continues to produce big hits
in key situations.

own.
For the first time, The Players
went to a three-hole aggregate
playoff starting on the par-5
16th, where earlier Fowler hit a
3-wood into the breeze to 30
inches for an eagle that made
this moment possible.
They all made pars on the
16th.
Kisner rolled in a breaking 10foot birdie putt on the islandgreen 17th to keep pace with
Fowler, who hit his tee shot to 6
feet and converted the birdie.
Garcia, who in regulation made
a 45-foot birdie to give him new
life, failed to repeat the putt
from about the same range in
the playoff. All three players
made par on the final hole,
which eliminated Garcia.
Fowler and Kisner, who closed
with a 69 and lost for the second
time in a month in a playoff,
headed back to the 17th hole for
the third time. The great shots
kept coming. Kisner barely
cleared the mound and the ball
settled 12 feet away. Fowler
answered by taking on the right
side of the green and sticking it
just inside 5 feet.
Kisner finally missed.
It was the second time in a
month that Kisner, winless in
102 starts, lost in a playoff
despite making clutch putts.
“Golf is a hard and cruel
game,” Kisner said. “But hats
off. I mean, shoot, these guys
are good, I’m telling you. Don’t
give up on anybody.”
Fowler never seemed to miss
over the final two hours, and he
calmly clutched his fist to celebrate his first tour victory in
three years.
“I’ve been waiting a long time
for this,” Fowler said. “Back in
the winner’s circle.”
Garcia, who had a two-shot
lead heading to the back nine,
closed with a 68. He had a 20foot birdie putt to win in regulation that missed badly to the
right. And he faced a crowd that
was increasingly hostile to the
Spaniard, perhaps remembering
the tiff he had with Tiger Woods
two years ago.
His caddie was asking for
security when he made the turn.
In the three-hole playoff, a small

Nationals beat Braves for sweep
WASHINGTON (AP) — While
Bryce Harper was putting together an impressive home run
streak, one of his Washington
teammates was swinging the bat
pretty well, too.
Wilson Ramos extended his
hitting streak to 13 games and
delivered a tiebreaking double to
cap a two-run rally in the eighth
inning that sent the Nationals
over the Atlanta Braves 5-4
Sunday for a three-game sweep.
Harper doubled, singled and
drove in another run — but
didn’t homer. He had hit six
home runs in his previous three
games. Harper doubled home a
run, giving him 13 RBIs in four
games, and also scored once.
Ramos and Ryan Zimmerman
each had a double, single and
two RBIs, sending the Nationals
to their 10th win in 12 games.
“I’ve always said I want to see
what that guy can do with 120,
130 games, because he’s obviously a great catcher, but offensively he’s very talented,”
Zimmerman said of Ramos,
who’s been hampered by injuries
each of last three seasons.
Sammy Solis (1-0) pitched one
inning for his first major league
win and Drew Storen closed for
his ninth save.
After the game, manager Matt
Williams
said
Stephen
Strasburg, who left his last start
after three innings with an alignment issue under his shoulder
blade, will pitch Tuesday in
Arizona instead of Monday. Max
Scherzer moves up to Monday on
full rest after an off-day last
Thursday
Ian Desmond singled to open
the eighth off Cody Martin (1-2)
and Jayson Werth walked. After
Harper popped out, Zimmerman
hit a tying single, but Werth was
tagged out after rounding second
and falling. Ramos then hit an
opposite-field double to the deep
right.
“He’s got a knack for driving
runs in, because he stays in the
middle of diamond and goes the
other way so well,” Williams said
of Ramos, who’s hitting .420 (21
for 50) during the streak.
Freddie Freeman had two hits
and scored twice for Atlanta, and
pitcher Alex Wood had three hits
and an RBI.
“Woody was a bulldog on the
mound and he was in line to get
the win,” manager Fredi
Gonzalez said. “We’ve got to mix
and match out of the bullpen
and we haven’t been able to do
it.”
With Freeman on first and no
outs in the seventh, pinch hitter
Jonny Gomes lifted a fly to right
center. Harper was lining up for
the catch near the warning
track, but lost the ball in the sun
and it fell in for a single.
Freeman made it to third and
scored the go-ahead run on
Alberto Callaspo’s flare to short
right.
Washington starter Jordan
Zimmermann allowed three runs
on eight hits over six innings.
Wood gave up three runs in
the first. Looking for his first win
since April 7, he gave up eight
hits, struck out seven and

Draymond Green (23) and Andrew Bogut (12) in the first half of Game 3 of their Western Conference
playoff series Saturday, in Memphis. Grizzlies take 2-1 lead over Warriors
MEMPHIS (AP) — Steve Kerr
says his Golden State Warriors
are going through a learning
process as a very young team.
The Memphis Grizzlies are
using their hefty postseason
experience to make the lesson
as painful as possible.
Zach Randolph scored 22
points and Marc Gasol added 21
points and 15 rebounds as the
Grizzlies beat the Warriors 9989 on Saturday night to take a
2-1 lead in their Western
Conference semifinal.
“This was a huge win for our
franchise, a huge win for our
team,” Memphis coach Dave
Joerger said. “The crowd was
fantastic.”
Mike Conley and Courtney
Lee both finished with 11 points
for Memphis, which has yet to
lose this postseason with Conley
in the lineup.
MVP Stephen Curry finished
with 23 points for Golden State
but was 8 of 21 from the field,
including 2 of 10 outside the
arc. Klay Thompson had 20
points, and Harrison Barnes
added 16.
“I have to play better for us to
win games, especially on the
road,” Curry said. “I hold myself
to a high standard. I haven’t
reached it yet. So looking forward to the challenge of getting
that level in Game 4, setting the
tone and (it) could be a different
outcome.”
For a second straight game,
the Grizzlies made the Warriors
look nothing like the team that
was the NBA’s best home or
away during the regular season.
The Warriors missed seven
straight 3s during one stretch,
several wide-open looks, and the
Grizzlies harassed them into a
handful of ugly turnovers.
The Warriors went just 6 of 26
from 3-point range, tying their
season-low at 23.1 percent, and
19 of 28 at the free throw line.
“They’re learning,” Kerr, the
first-year coach, said of his
Warriors. “It’s part of the
process. You see teams go
through this all the time in the
playoffs. It’s the only way to fig-
ure it out, to go through the pain
of losing a game like tonight.”
The Grizzlies improved to 7-2
overall in Game 3s since 2011
and 6-1 when playing that game
on their home court. With Game
4 at home on Monday night, the
Grizzlies have their sights set on
ousting the West’s No. 1 seed for
the third time in their five-year
playoff run as they try to reach
their second conference final in
three years.
“We understand what our
strengths are, and of course at
the end of games we’re not going
to panic,” Gasol said. “We might
not play great or we might not
make the shot or we might make
mistakes or we might get really
slow. But we’re going to stay in
the moment. We’re going to play
the next possession always, and
we got to try to get stops.”
Memphis outscored Golden
State 46-32 in the paint and
outrebounded the Warriors 44-
39. The Grizzlies forced 17
turnovers they turned in 22
points, offsetting the Warriors’
22 fast break points.
Golden State trailed by as
many as 19 points in the fourth
quarter and tried to recreate its
big comeback after being down
20 in Game 3 of its opening
series at New Orleans. The
Warriors got within 88-84 on a
fast-break layup by Barnes with
3:16 left.
Lee hit a 3, then Gasol beat
the shot clock with a long
jumper changed from a 3 after
review. Green turned it over,
and the Grizzlies finished the
win.
The Warriors were up 15-10, a
lead that didn’t last long as the
Grizzlies put together a 25-9 run
spanning the first quarter and
into the second for a 35-24 lead.

Top seeds in both East, West in trouble trailing semis 2-1
MEMPHIS (AP) — First-year
coach Steve Kerr knows a crucial
moment in the playoffs, so he
understands exactly the test his
Golden State Warriors face trailing Memphis 2-1 in their Western
Conference semifinal.
If his Warriors adapt and correct their mistakes mid-series,
then the team that posted the
NBA’s best record in the regular
season can continue its dream
season. Keep rushing while turning the ball over and missing too
many 3s, and those growing
pains will hurt until this time
next year.
“This is that moment for us, so
we’ll see how we respond,” Kerr
said Sunday, a day after the
Warriors dropped their second
straight with a 99-89 loss in
Game 3.
The Atlanta Hawks find themselves in the same spot as the
Warriors, and these No. 1 seeds
have become the first to trail 2-1
in a conference semifinal since
the NBA went to the current
playoff format in 1984. The
Hawks couldn’t take advantage
of Washington playing without
All-Star guard John Wall and fell
behind by 21 points before a
103-101 loss Saturday.
“They had their way with us for
three quarters,” Hawks guard
Kyle Korver said. “They were
more physical and just kind of
pushed us around. We didn’t
respond well. ... The bottom line
is we’ve got to play with more fire
in a playoff game.”
Golden State won 67 games,
while Atlanta dominated the East
with 60 victories. Now both No. 1
seeds risk falling behind even
further tonight in Game 4 of each
of their best-of-7 series.

Pineda gets career-high strike outs in win over Baltimore
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael
Pineda struck out a career-high
16 in seven dominant innings
and
New
York
downed
Baltimore.
Pineda (5-0) matched David
Cone and David Wells for the
second-most strikeouts in a
game by a Yankees pitcher. Ron
Guidry fanned 18 in 1978.
The 16 strikeouts were the
most by the Orioles against one
pitcher in a nine-inning game,
according to STATS. Baltimore
struck out against 18 times
overall, a club record for a nineinning game.
Bud Norris (1-4) took the loss.
The Orioles dropped five of six
during their week in New York
against the Yankees and Mets.
ROYALS 2
TIGERS 1, 10 INNINGS
DETROIT (AP) — Greg
Holland worked out of a basesloaded, nobody-out jam in the
bottom of the 10th inning, and
Kansas City held on to beat
Detroit in a game that was
delayed 103 minutes by rain.
Omar Infante’s sacrifice fly in
the top of the 10th put the
Royals ahead, but Holland
allowed a single and two walks
to start the bottom half. Hernan
Perez — batting because Miguel
Cabrera had been removed for a
pinch-runner the previous
inning — bounced into a 5-2-3
double play, but another walk to
Victor Martinez loaded the
bases again.
Holland then struck out
Yoenis Cespedes for his sixth
save in six chances.
Jason Frasor (1-0) got the
win, working out of a basesloaded jam of his own in the
ninth after the rain delay in the
middle of the inning.
Angel Nesbitt (0-1) took the
loss.
DODGERS 9, ROCKIES 5
DENVER (AP) — After 4 inches of snow were cleared from
Coors Field, the Los Angeles
Dodgers used Justin Turner’s
tiebreaking homer in the eighth
inning to send the Colorado
Rockies to their ninth straight
loss, 9-5 Sunday.
The series finale began on
time after the first two games
were affected by the wet weather
that has socked Colorado for a
week. The gametime temperature was 41 degrees and it
dropped to 39 degrees in the
ninth.
Turner’s two-run homer highlighted a four-run burst in the
eighth. Adrian Gonzalez hit two
doubles and drove in four runs
as the Dodgers beat Colorado
for the eighth straight time dating to last season.
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw
failed in his fourth bid for his
100th regular-season win. The
reigning NL MVP and Cy Young
Award winner gave up five runs
on eight hits and four walks in 5
2-3 innings.
It was 5-all in the eighth
when Turner connected off
Scott Oberg (1-1) for his fifth
homer.
Pedro Baez (1-0) pitched 1 13 innings for the win.
RED SOX 6, BLUE JAYS 3
TORONTO (AP) — Mike Napoli
hit a three-run homer, Pablo
Sandoval added a two-run shot
and Boston beat Toronto to
avoid a three-game sweep.
Clay Buchholz (2-4) allowed
three runs in 6 1-3 innings for
his first victory in six starts. The
last-place Red Sox won for just
the second time in nine games.
Carl Willis joined the Red Sox
for his first game as their new
pitching coach. He replaced
Juan Nieves, who was fired
Thursday.
Junichi Tazawa pitched 1 2-3
innings and Koji Uehara finished for his sixth save.
R.A. Dickey (1-4) lost for the
third time in four starts.
BREWERS 3
CUBS 2, 11 INNINGS
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Martin
Maldonado singled over the
Cubs’ drawn-in outfield with
one out in the 11th inning, lifting Milwaukee.
After a 7-18 start, the
Brewers went 4-3 in Craig
Counsell’s first week as manager since taking over for the fired
Ron Roenicke.
Chicago went to a five-man
infield and brought in their
remaining two outfielders with
the bases loaded. Maldonado,
who homered earlier, hit a deep
fly off Jason Motte (1-1).
Michael Blazek (3-0) pitched a
perfect top of the 11th.
WHITE SOX 4, REDS 3
CHICAGO (AP) — Gordon
Beckham hit a game-winning
single against Aroldis Chapman
in the ninth as Chicago beat
Cincinnati.
Chapman (1-1) got the first
two outs of the inning, then
gave up back-to-back singles to
Avisal Garcia and Alexei
Ramirez. They advanced to second and third on a wild pitch,
then on a 2-2 pitch Beckham
singled to center to end the
game, breaking the tie.
It was Chapman’s first earned
run of the season in 12 2-3
innings.
White Sox closer David
Robertson (3-0) couldn’t hold a
3-1 lead in the ninth. He gave
up back-to-back singles to start
the inning to Devin Mesoraco
and Bryan Pena. After a pass
ball by Geovany Soto to advance
the runners to second and third
Zack Cozart doubled down the
left-field line to tie the game.

SEATTLE (AP) — Felix
Braves
From Page 11
walked one in 6 2-3 innings.
His three hits doubled the
three he collected in 68 at-bats
before Sunday.
With two outs and a runner on
second, manager Fredi Gonzalez
elected to have the left-handed
Wood pitch to the lefty Harper in
the first. The result was a shot to
center that Cameron Maybin
couldn’t haul in on the warning
track.
Zimmerman followed with a
double, Ramos singled, and
Washington led 3-0.
The Braves got two runs back
in the second and tied it in the
third.
STANDING PAT
Gonzalez produced 30 different lineup cards (not including
the pitcher’s spot) over the first
30 games. On Sunday, the
Braves became the last team to
repeat a lineup as Gonzalez went
with the same top eight he used
Saturday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: Gonzalez said RHP
Jason Grilli was unavailable
Sunday and has been battling
back spasms.
Nationals: OF Nate McLouth
(right shoulder surgery) has
started hitting as part of his
rehab work in Viera, Florida. .
Williams said 3B Yunel Escobar,
who left the game after three
innings, had “a stomach bug.”
ON DECK
Braves: Shelby Miller (4-1,
1.66), coming off a three-hit
shutout against the Phillies,
pitches the opener of a series at
Cincinnati.
Nationals: Scherzer (2-3, 2.11)
makes his second career start
against the Diamondbacks, and
first since 2010, on Monday
night in Arizona.
Grizzlies
From Page 12
time, the second straight game
the Grizzlies held Golden State
below 40 points in the opening 24
minutes. Golden State had been
held to 40 points or less only
once all season.
Warriors: Marreese Speights
strained his right calf in the
fourth quarter and did not
return. ... Curry, who had six
assists in the game, handed out
his 200th career assist in the
postseason in the second quarter. He became the fifth player in
Golden State history with at
least 200 playoff assists.
Grizzlies: Tony Allen had four
more steals, giving him 16 in his
past four games. ... Memphis is
4-1 when outshooting their
opponent this postseason.
The swelling has eased
enough in Conley’s face that he
switched to a new mask for a
more snug fit. He didn’t shoot
nearly as well as he did Tuesday
night. Officials did take a timeout early in the third quarter for
Conley to get some blood wiped
away from his left eyebrow after
popping some stitches loose. He
didn’t miss a second and even
took a charge from Leandro
Barbosa late in the third quarter.
QUOTABLE
“It’s not a must win, but it’s
pretty
freaking
close,”
Thompson said of Game 4.
“We know what’s at stake,”
Grizzlies center Kosta Koufos
said. “They are a very good
team. They can come back no
matter what lead we have.”
Hernandez became the fourthyoungest player to reach 2,000
career strikeouts while giving
up two runs over seven innings
to lead Seattle to a win against
Oakland.
Hernandez, at 29 years, 32
days old, is behind only Bert
Blyleven, Sam McDowell and
Walter Johnson, who were all 28
when they reached 2,000 strikeouts.
The right-hander started
Sunday’s game against the
Oakland Athletics with 1,995
strikeouts. In the fifth inning,
Hernandez fell behind leadoff
batter Sam Fuld 3-1 before
striking him out looking at a
fastball for No. 2,000.
Hernandez (6-0) added one
more strikeout on his final batter, getting Eric Sogard swinging
to end the seventh inning.
Marcus Semien hit two solo
home runs off Hernandez for
the first multi-homer game of
his career.
Fernando Rodney pitched the
ninth and earned his ninth save
10 chances.
Oakland starter Jesse Chavez
(1-3) didn’t give up a hit in the
first three innings before running into trouble.
GIANTS 3, MARLINS 2
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Matt
Duffy singled in Gregor Blanco
with two outs in the ninth
inning to cap a two-run rally off
closer Steve Cishek and lift San
Francisco over Miami.
The Giants had been quiet
offensively most of the game
until breaking out against
Cishek (1-2), who had not
allowed an earned run in 13
previous appearances against
the defending World Series
champs.
Cishek struck out Justin
Maxwell to open the ninth
before getting into trouble.
Andrew Susac singled and
Blanco doubled. Joaquin Arias
pinch-ran for Susac and stayed
at third when pinch-hitter
Buster Posey was intentionally
walked to load the bases.
After pinch-hitter Angel
Pagan struck out, Cishek
walked Nori Aoki to force in the
tying run. Duffy, hitless in his
previous four at-bats, followed
with the first game-ending hit of
his career.
Santiago Casilla (4-0) retired
two batters for the win, helping
the Giants split the four-game
series.
PIRATES 4, REDS 3
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jung Ho
Kang went 2 for 4 with a home
run and two RBIs and
Pittsburgh beat St. Louis.
The Cardinals dropped two of
three in Pittsburgh, their first
series loss of the season.
With the game tied 3-3, Kang
hit a go-ahead RBI single in the
seventh inning.
Kang hit his second home run
of the season in the first inning,
a shot to left field off a 0-2 fastball left over the middle of the
plate from St. Louis left-hander
Tyler Lyons. Kang’s home run
gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead.
Jared Hughes (1-1) got the
final out of the seventh for the
victory.

left off Mitch Harris to give
Pittsburgh a 4-3 lead.
Harris (1-1) gave up a run on
a hit and walked two in the seventh.
Mark Melancon earned his
seventh save with a scoreless
ninth.
METS 7, PHILLIES 4
PHILADELPHIA
(AP)
—
Bartolo Colon became the first
pitcher in the majors with six
wins, and Curtis Granderson hit
a two-run homer to lead New
York over Philadelphia.
Colon (6-1) won again despite
giving up a homer to opposing
pitcher Chad Billingsley (0-2).
The right-hander, who turns 42
this month, allowed four runs
with six strikeouts and no walks
in six-plus innings.
Colon extended his streak
without a walk to 40 1-3
innings, pulling closer to the
franchise record of 47 set by
Bret Saberhagen in 1994. The
2005 AL Cy Young Award winner has 40 strikeouts and one
walk this season.
Daniel Murphy had three hits
and pinch-hitter Johnny Monell
delivered a two-run double for
the Mets, who have won nine of
10 series against Philadelphia
since 2012.
Jeurys Familia pitched a
scoreless ninth for his NL-leading 13th save in as many opportunities.
INDIANS 8, TWINS 2
CLEVELAND (AP) — Danny
Salazar retired 21 straight batters after giving up a home run
to start the game, and Cleveland
defeated Minnesota.
Salazar matched his career
high with 11 strikeouts, including six in a row. He was
removed after throwing 102
pitches in seven innings.
Brian Dozier’s leadoff homer
was the only hit Salazar (4-1)
allowed. The right-hander
struck out the side in the fifth
and sixth.
Lonnie Chisenhall hit a threerun homer off Trevor May (2-3).
Carlos Santana drove in three
runs, Jason Kipnis had three
hits and two RBIs, and David
Murphy went 4 for 4 for the
Indians.
Zach McAllister and Cody
Allen finished the two-hitter.
Cleveland pitchers combined for
16 strikeouts.
Minnesota had its four-game
winning streak snapped and
lost for the second time in 11
games.
RANGERS 2, RAYS 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)
— Adrian Beltre homered and
drove in two runs, and Wandy
Rodriguez gave Texas a recordsetting pitching performance
against Tampa Bay.
Beltre’s tiebreaking single off
Kevin Jepsen (0-2) came in the
eighth inning following a couple
of walks.
Keone Kela (3-1) got the win
after Rodriguez established a
franchise mark for consecutive
batters retired.
The 36-year-old lefty set
down the first 15 Rays before
Tim Beckham led off the Tampa
Bay sixth with a line-drive single. Following the 19 straight
hitters Rodriguez retired in his
previous start at Houston, he
broke the team record of 31 in a
row set by Ken Hill in 1996.
Rodriguez gave up two hits
and struck out six in six
innings. Neftali Feliz earned his
fifth save.

tice Sunday, instead watching all
of Saturday night’s loss together
to see exactly where they kept
rushing. They now have shot 6 of
26 outside the arc for a second
straight game, a measly 23.1 percent.
League MVP Stephen Curry
missed the only shot he took in
the fourth quarter, and he was 4 of
21 on 3-poitners the past two
games combined after knocking
down 20 in four games against
New Orleans in the first round.
That leaves a team that won 45
games by double digits is trying to
avoid its first three-game skid this
season.
“It’s unfamiliar territory, so it’s
something that we’re looking forward to and looking forward to
respond to adversity,” Warriors
forward Draymond Green said.
The Grizzlies did practice and
spent Sunday trying to recover
from a second straight emotional
game. Mike Conley’s first game
back Tuesday from surgery to
repair facial fractures was
thrilling, and they turned in
another defensive show Saturday
night.
Coach Dave Joerger gave them
a history lesson on past playoffs
like last year when the Grizzlies
lost their first-round series to
Oklahoma City after leading 2-1.
“We’ve been on the other end of
it we’ve been on the other end of it,
so we know no lead is safe,”
Conley said. “You’re playing
against the best team in the world
and anything can happen.”
Hawks at Wizards, Wizards lead
2-1, 7 p.m. EDT, TNT
The Hawks expect to get forward Paul Millsap back in the
starting lineup Monday night after
flu-like symptoms limited him to
eight points and two rebounds off
the bench Saturday. But the
Hawks have more issues with Jeff
Teague shooting only 5 of 15 from
the floor, and Korver took just five
shots as he finished with six
points.
Only a rally by the bench that
tied it up late, setting up Paul
Pierce’s winning shot, kept Atlanta
from being routed as the Hawks
looked lethargic and disjointed for
three quarters.
“We’ve got our backs against the
wall, it’s do or die,” Atlanta guard
Kent Bazemore said.
The Wizards are 3-0 at home
and 6-1 this postseason. More
importantly, they now are 1-1
without Wall.
“We were able to show, especially for the first three and half quarters, what we was capable of even
without John if we play the right
way,” Wizards guard Garrett
Temple said. “We’ve just got to
play that way for the whole game.
The swelling in Wall’s broken
left wrist and hand had eased
Sunday, though not enough for
him to test dribbling a ball yet.
“It’s heading to a situation
where hopefully he can get a ball
in his hands (again), see how that
feels,” Wizards coach Randy
Wittman said. “There’s still some
(swelling) in there. There’s no
sense doing anything with a ball
while it’s swollen.”
The Mustangs’ 4x800 relay
team posted a time of 8:46.71
for second place and the 4x400
relay team finished third with
their time of 3:37.88.
CyCy White came in third in
both the high jump and shot
put. White cleared 4 feet, 10
inches in the high jump and had
a throw of 31 feet, 6 inches.
Haley Wattenbarger finished
fourth in discus with her throw
of 86 feet, 8 inches.
Bradley Central saw Rhyne
Howard’s time of 1:04.96 earn
her a first place finish in the
Los Angeles scored all its runs
in the fifth en route to a victory
that secured a four-game split
with AL West-leading Houston.
Richards (3-1) walked his first
batter of the day, then retired
15 in a row. The right-hander
walked his first two in the seventh before striking out Colby
Rasmus, but Jason Castro lined
a clean single to left field to
break up the no-hit bid.
Fernando Salas retired pinchhitter Evan Gattis with the
bases loaded to end the seventh.
Huston Street got his 10th save
in 12 attempts, following backto-back blown saves Wednesday
and Thursday.
Richards struck out 10 and
walked four to win his third
straight decision.
Scott Feldman (2-4) allowed
three runs and six hits in seven
innings.

PHOENIX (AP) — Aaron Hill
and A.J. Pollock homered to
back five pitchers who carried
Arizona to a tight victory over
San Diego.
Daniel Hudson, making his
first major league start since
June 2012, was limited to 56
pitches in 3 1-3 scoreless
innings. He’s been used out of
the bullpen since returning late
last season from two Tommy
John surgeries.
J.C. Ramirez (1-0), just called
up from Triple-A, pitched out of
two bases-loaded jams to earn
his first career win. He allowed
a run and four hits in 2 2-3
innings.
Oliver Perez, Evan Marshall
and Addison Reed combined for
three innings of scoreless relief.
Reed earned his second save of
the season.
Hill and Pollock homered off
Andrew Cashner (1-6), who
went seven innings.
400m dash, Kailey McRee finish
first in discus with a throw of 94
feet, 9 inches and Amber
Bigham jumped 16 feet, 2 inches to claim first in the long
jump.
Ty Beavers finished third in
the high jump after clearing 5

group of fans yelled, “U-S-A!” as
he took the putter back.
It marred what was other
sheer brilliance, a most unforgettable final hour in a tournament that has a history of them.
For Fowler, the timing couldn’t
have been better.
One of the questions in SI
Golf’s annual player survey —
players do not give their names
— was to pick the most overrated player on the PGA Tour.
Fowler and Ian Poulter shared
first place at 24 percent. Fowler
has never faced this level of criticism. He is a favorite among
fans and most players for his
considerate behavior.
“I don’t know if you can get too
caught up in that whole deal,”
Kisner said. “I really don’t know
that whole story, but I heard the
remnants of it this weekend.
Obviously he’s not overrated.
The guy finished — what did he
finish? Top five in all four majors
last year? Anybody that can do
that, as you can see, if you’re in
that position, you’re playing
pretty danged well.
“What is he supposed to be
rated? What’s the threshold here
on who calls what’s overrated? I
wouldn’t get too worried about
that. But I’m sure he was fired
up to get that — whoever said
that — off his shoulder.”
Maybe that’s who Fowler
should have thanked.

It’s looking like we’re being ‘granted’ to death
No one likes to have their parade
rained on.
However, when that parade is headed
in the wrong direction, a little moisture
to dampen the enthusiasm might not be
a bad thing.
Over the past several decades, a situation has developed in America that could
lead to our demise as a nation. What I
am talking about is the endless number
of grants; that is, "free money" from the
public treasury, that does not have to be
paid back and are funded by the
American taxpayer.
If you think I’m all wet, here is something to think about. About the time our
original 13 states adopted their new
Constitution, in the year 1787,
Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinborough)
had this to say about "The Fall of The
Athenian Republic" some 2,000 years
prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in
nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the
time that voters discover they can vote

themselves generous gifts from the
public treasury. From that moment on,
the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits
from the public treasury, with the
result that every democracy will finally
collapse due to loose fiscal policy,
(which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
This reminds me of what the Irish
philosopher George Bernard Shaw once
said, "The government that robs Peter to
pay Paul, will always have the support of
Paul."
Tyler continues, "The average age of
the world’s greatest civilizations from the
beginning of history has been about 200
years. During those 200 years, these
nations have progressed through the fol-
lowing sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great
courage; from courage to liberty; from
liberty to abundance; from abundance to
complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from
dependence back into bondage."
Before I continue, here is a question
you might want to ponder for a few
moments. Where do you think America
is today in this sequence? You will have
to answer that question for yourself, but
I see the proliferation of grants or "free
money" as a sure sign that we have
become more dependent on our government than on ourselves.
When I was doing research for this
column, I went to the Internet and typed
in the words, "Government Grants" and
up popped more information than I really wanted. The first article I came to was
developed by an individual who was
charging a fee to teach people how to
apply for and get "free" government
money. You will note he was getting a
fee.
When I downloaded this article, it was
16 pages long. In part, here is what it
said, "Each day, millions of dollars in
Free Government Grants is given away
to people just like you for a wide variety
of business and personal needs."
You may be thinking, "How can I get
some of that ‘free’ grant money?"
He goes on to say, "Anyone can apply
for a grant from 18 years old and up.
Grants from $500 to $50,000 are possible. Grants don’t have to be paid back,
EVER. Claim your slice of the FREE
American pie.”
Another point he makes is that this
money is not a loan that requires a lot of
paperwork.
These government agencies don’t have
to operate under the same stringent
requirements that banks do.
Not to belabor the point, but here is
the story in a nutshell.
Over 20 million people get government
money every year. Over one million
entrepreneurs get money to start or
expand a business. Four million people
get money to invest in real estate. Six
million people get money to go to college
and 10 million get free help and training
for a better job.
The point I want to make here, and
you may or may not agree, is that grants
are somewhat like lawsuits. Some are
necessary and serve a useful purpose,
but most are frivolous. The same is true
for grants. Some grants do serve a useful
purpose and are in America’s best interests, but the vast majority are not.
What we must keep in mind is that
grants or "free money" has to come from
somewhere. The bottom line is that this
money comes from taxpayers who not
only fund the grants, but also pay the
salaries and overhead of the people who
are giving the money away.
The people who should be the most
concerned are those who have a legitimate and valid reason for a grant,
because the rest are actually getting
your money.
Let’s teach our kids what we know is
right. Get a loan and pay it back. That’s
always been the American way.

Insure Tennessee
deserves a chance
J
ohn worked hard for decades
to support his family. Through
the years, he’s held labor jobs
for hourly wages and suffers with
chronic knee pain.
He’s now in his mid-50s and
needs knee replacement surgery,
since he can no longer “work like a
young man.”
He pushes through the pain
and never misses a day on the
job. Yet, he can only find part-time
work which offers no health insurance.
When Insure Tennessee
appeared on the horizon, John
was hopeful that he would finally
have access to affordable health
insurance.
This plan, crafted by Gov. Bill
Haslam, would be funded by federal dollars and not cost Tennessee
taxpayers an extra dime. The federal government would pay for the
largest share — $2.7 million per
day! This number alone would
boost our state’s economy. The
remaining costs would be paid by
Tennessee hospitals.
Many citizens, including John,
wondered why hospitals would
agree to this expense.
The main reason is that uninsured patients come to emergency
rooms for care, and the hospitals
have to absorb these costs.
Four hospitals in rural areas of
Tennessee have already closed
due to the expenses of uncompensated care; and, 54 of the 121
remaining hospitals in the state are
at risk. In Bradley County, the hospitals employ 837 people.
Insure Tennessee could reverse
this alarming trend and create a
predicted 15,000 new health carerelated jobs across the state.
These financial and economic
facts form a solid foundation for
Insure Tennessee, which has
earned the public support of the
Chamber of Commerce, the
Tennessee Medical Association,
former U.S. Senate Majority
Leader Bill Frist and Sens. Lamar
Alexander and Bob Corker, among
others!
John is one of 280,000
Tennesseans who does not have
access to affordable health insurance; and 24,000 veterans are
part of this group in the “coverage
gap.”
In Bradley County, 6,875 of our
family members, friends and
neighbors would qualify under
the Insure Tennessee program.
Across the state, an estimated
two people die every day who
could have benefited from
access to affordable health insurance.
Insure Tennessee, on its journey
to the floor of the Legislature for a
full vote, was considered by two
committees. As part of the legislative process, it needed to pass with
a majority of “yes” votes. It was
“voted down” both times.
Two members of the first committee were Bradley County Sens.
Todd Gardenhire and Mike Bell.
They both voted “no.” When Insure
Tennessee was then considered
by a second committee,
Gardenhire voted “no” again. Bell
was not a member of the second
committee.
As John listened to the facts
about Insure Tennessee, he
asked, “Why would they vote
against this program? I want to
keep working. I don’t want to be a
burden on anybody.”
Stand with John and the
280,000 other Tennesseans who
need for our legislators to vote with
reason and compassion to pass
Insure Tennessee.
Get involved by contacting state
Sen. Gardenhire (615-7416682)/[email protected]) and state Sen. Bell
(615-741-1946/sen.mike.bel

your church and civic organizations with accurate information
about Insure Tennessee.
Greece makes its IMF payment
amid signs of bailout progress
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Cashstrapped Greece scraped together a 200 million-euro ($222 million)
repayment
to
the
International Monetary Fund
last week amid signs its longstalled bailout negotiations were
making some progress.
The payment came as Greek
government officials continued
their whirlwind European tour
and Prime Minister Alexis
Tsipras spoke to French
President Francois Hollande on
how to push matters forward.
Greece has a much larger
commitment of about 770 million euros to make to the IMF
Tuesday. All indications are it
will struggle to make that payment as well as meet some pensions and salaries due later that
week.
A potential Greek debt default
could set off a chain reaction
that jeopardizes its membership
in Europe’s joint currency and
roils the global economy.
Hence the importance of
reported progress in Greece’s
talks with representatives from
the European Commission,
European Central Bank and IMF
that could spill into Monday’s
meeting of the eurozone’s 19
finance ministers.

required to unlock the remaining

In Brussels, technical talks
that started last week were
extended beyond Wednesday
amid hopes for a breakthrough.
A eurozone official, who asked
not to be identified because the
negotiations were ongoing, confirmed there was now visible
progress after the talks had been
bogged down for weeks.

saying the two discussed
“progress made in the talks ...
over the last few days” and spoke
of details of the reforms Greece
needs to implement.
According to the statement,
those include modernizing the
pension system “so that it is fair,
fiscally sustainable and effective
in averting old-age poverty.”
They also discussed “the need for
wage developments and labor
market institutions to be supportive of job creation, competitiveness and social cohesion.”
The EU and IMF also sought to
downplay talk that they are at
loggerheads over the approach to
Greece following criticism by
Greek officials. In a statement,
they said they “share the same
objective of helping Greece
achieve financial stability and
growth.”
Facing an acute liquidity problem, the Greek government has
already ordered state enterprises, including municipalities and
schools, to transfer their
reserves into a Bank of Greece
account where they can be used
as a loan by the state.
Last week’s repayment of
interest on IMF’s loans was
made without any problems.
“The payment is proceeding normally,” a finance ministry official
said, on condition of anonymity
in line with government regulations.
TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Monday, May 11, the
131st day of 2015. There are 234
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 11, 1945, the aircraft
carrier USS Bunker Hill was
attacked and severely damaged by
two kamikaze aircraft off
Okinawa; according to the U.S.
Navy’s official website, 346 men
were killed, 43 were left missing,
and 264 were wounded.
On this date:
In 1647, Peter Stuyvesant
arrived in New Amsterdam to
become governor of New
Netherland.
In 1858, Minnesota became the
32nd state of the Union.
In 1862, during the Civil War,
the Confederate ironclad CSS
Virginia was scuttled by its crew
off Craney Island, Virginia, to prevent it from falling into Union
hands.
In 1927, the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences was
founded during a banquet at the
Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.
In
1935,
the
Rural
Electrification Administration was
created as one of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal
programs.
In 1944, during World War II,
Allied forces launched a major
offensive against Axis lines in
Italy.
In 1953, a tornado devastated
Waco, Texas, claiming 114 lives.
In 1960, Israeli agents captured
Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann
in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In 1973, the espionage trial of
Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony
Russo in the “Pentagon Papers”
case came to an end as Judge
William M. Byrne dismissed all
charges, citing government misconduct.
In 1981, legendary reggae artist
Bob Marley died in a Miami hospital at age 36.
In 1985, 56 people died when a
flash fire swept a jam-packed soccer stadium in Bradford, England.
In 1996, an Atlanta-bound
ValuJet DC-9 caught fire shortly
after takeoff from Miami and
crashed into the Florida
Everglades, killing all 110 people
on board.
Ten years ago: More than
1,000 demonstrators rioted and
threw stones at a U.S. military
convoy in Afghanistan as protests
spread over a Newsweek report
that interrogators had desecrated
Islam’s holy book at the U.S.
prison at Guantanamo Bay.
(Newsweek later retracted the
story.) Actor Macaulay Culkin
took the stand at Michael
Jackson’s trial to denounce the
molestation allegations against
the pop star as “absolutely ridiculous.” (Jackson was acquitted.)
Five years ago: Conservative
leader David Cameron, at age 43,
became Britain’s youngest prime
minister in almost 200 years after
Gordon Brown stepped down and
ended 13 years of Labour government. Italian designer Giuliana
Coen Camerino, credited with
making handbags a fashion item,
died in Venice at age 89.
Dear Annie: Many years ago,
“Hazel” sat next to me in high
school and apparently had a
crush on me. (I had no clue.) She
married someone else, and her
husband passed away 20 years
ago. Four years later, she met
“Larry,” who is married and says
he can’t divorce because of his
religion. He tells Hazel he loves
her and often drops by with gifts.
She told him she loves him, but
just as a friend. She thinks he is
wonderful but says there is nothing physical between them.
My wife died a year ago. A few
months later, Hazel contacted me.
We hit it off right away. She lives
three hours away, so we take
turns visiting every two weeks. We
get along very well, except when
the subject of Larry comes up.
Hazel says her relationship with
him is over now that I’m in the
picture, but I discovered that he
had stopped by again with a gift.
She said she didn’t let him in the
door. The other day, she slipped
and called me “Larry.” She apologized, but you can imagine how
that made me feel. I’m starting to
believe I’m her rebound guy. I
think she is crazy about Larry and
if his wife should die, she’d be at
his door in a heartbeat.
Is it possible for Larry and
Hazel to be such good friends
without something more going
on? He even told her about his
erectile dysfunction, but I worry
that may have come from firsthand knowledge. Hazel says she
loves me and has for years, but
the “green-eyed monster” has
taken over my heart, and I don’t
know how to get rid of these jealous feelings. — Very Confused
Dear Confused: Your jealousy
is not completely unfounded.
Hazel rejected Larry not because
she dislikes him, but because he
is married. If that obstacle didn’t
exist, there is indeed the possibility that she would be more interested in him, especially since he
seems to be quite interested in
her. Their relationship is friendship mixed with flirting, and that
is why you react so negatively
toward him.
You are not the rebound guy.
You’re the backup. Hazel needs to
tell Larry to pay more attention to
his wife — no more gifts, no more
surprise visits, no more intimate
confidences, and the friendship
must include you. If she is unwilling to do this, her attachment to
him is stronger than it should be.
Either give her time to see
whether she becomes more connected to you, or let her go.
Dear Annie: “Like Pregnant Not
Fat,” I am amazed at how rude
people can be to pregnant women.
I am pregnant with my second
child and have been asked, “Was
this pregnancy planned?” It is
such a personal and nosy question, it stuns me. Any suggestions
on how to respond? — Expecting
Mom in the Midwest
Dear Expecting: The default
response to nosy, intrusive questions is, “Why do you need to
know?” But if any of our readers
has a better one, we’ll be happy to
print it. And by the way, we now
have

Moroccan warplane downed before Yemen cease-fire
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Shiite
rebels in Yemen claimed Monday
to have shot down a Moroccan F16 fighter jet taking part in a
Saudi-led coalition targeting
them and their allies, just a day
before a five-day humanitarian
cease-fire was set to begin.
Morocco’s military, however,
only would say that the jet had
gone missing around 6 p.m.
(1500 GMT, 11 a.m. EDT)
Sunday.
The purported downing of the
jet fighter came as a Saudiowned news channel, al-Hadath,
aired live footage of tanks and
armored personnel carriers
loaded onto giant trucks, saying
they were part of a “strike force”
deploying to the kingdom’s border with Yemen. There have been
no signs to suggest that a ground
offensive
was
imminent,
although the coalition has not
ruled one out.
Photos purporting to show the
wreckage of the Moroccan aircraft on social media networks
had armed tribesmen and children posing next to wreckage
that bore the North African kingdom’s national colors of red and
green. A corpse also was seen.
A video clip also posted on
social media purported to show a
reporter from the rebels’ mouthpiece television station alMaseera visiting the site of the
crash in the northern Saada
province and tribesmen posing
with parts of plane’s fuselage or
triumphantly punching the air
with their fisted hands. “This
plane was downed by God,”
shouted one tribesman.
It was al-Maseera that first
claimed the downing of the aircraft in Saada, birthplace and
stronghold of the movement of
the rebels known as Houthis.
Saada also borders Saudi Arabia.
The rebels and their allies in
Yemen’s splintered armed forces
routinely fire anti-aircraft guns
at warplanes launching strikes
in the country since the Saudiled campaign began March 26.
Morroco’s state news agency
MAP, citing a military statement,
said the pilot of a second jet said
he didn’t see the pilot of the
missing fighter eject. The military
said it had launched an investigation into the incident, without
elaborating on a cause.
Morocco has six F-16 jets stationed in the United Arab
Emirates taking part in the
Saudi-led coalition, which
includes a group of other Sunni
Arab countries. The West says
regional Shiite power Iran backs
the Houthis militarily, something
both the Islamic Republic and
the rebels deny.
If confirmed, the Moroccan F16 would be the second jet fighter to go down in the conflict.
During the early days of the air
campaign, a fighter jet crashed in
the Arabian Sea off Yemen’s
southern coast, but the pilot and
co-pilot were picked up by a
nearby navy vessel. Technical
problems were said to have
caused the crash.
The raging conflict in Yemen
has killed over 1,400 people —
many of them civilians — since
March 19, according to the
United Nations. The cease-fire,
scheduled to begin at 11 p.m.
(2000 GMT, 4 p.m. EDT)
Tuesday, would help ease the
suffering of civilians in the Arab
world’s poorest country, who
have endured shortages of
power, water, food and medicine
as a result of a Saudi-led naval,
air and land blockade.
On Monday, Human Rights
Watch said the blockade is keeping out fuel needed for the survival of the Yemeni population,
contending that it was a violation
of the “laws of war.”
Yemen, it said, urgently needs
of fuel to power generators for
hospitals overwhelmed with
wounded and to pump drinking
water. The coalition, it added,
must urgently “implement measures for the rapid processing of
oil tankers to allow the safe,
secure, and speedy distribution
of fuel supplies to the civilian
population.”
All sides in the conflict have
warned they will resume hostilities if the cease-fire is violated.
Yemen was expected to be discussed at a Camp David summit
later this week between the
United States and leaders of six
Gulf, U.S.-allied Arab nations,
but the kings of Saudi Arabia
and Bahrain have said they
would not attend.
Meanwhile, the extremist
Islamic State group’s branch in
Yemen has released a video purportedly showing the killing of at
least 11 Yemeni army soldiers,
who it called “apostates,” in the
southern province of Shabwa.
While it could not be independently verified by The Associated
Press, the video corresponded to
others released by the extremists
and supporters of the group
shared it online.
Yemen is home to what the
U.S. considers to be the world’s
most dangerous al-Qaida affiliate, but a branch of the Islamic
State group has recently surfaced in the country, taking
responsibility for a wave of suicide bombings in Sanaa earlier
this year that killed at least 137
people.
The emergence of an Islamic
State branch in Yemen adds yet
another layer to the chaos gripping the country and threatens
to give an even deeper sectarian
slant to the conflict there.
Zaydis, followers of a Shiite doctrine that is exists almost exclusively in Yemen, account for just
under a third of Yemen’s estimated 25 million, mostly Sunni people. The Houthis are Zaydis.
And in Malaysia, the army
issued a statement Monday saying it wasn’t sending ground
troops to support the Saudi-led
U.S. secretary of state to meet Putin
MOSCOW (AP) — U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry
will travel to Russia on Tuesday
to meet with Russian President
Vladimir Putin for talks aimed at
mending relations driven to new
post-Cold War lows by disagreements over Ukraine and Syria.
It will be Kerry’s first trip to
Russia since the start of the
Ukraine crisis and only his second since taking office.
Kerry will meet Putin and
Russian
Foreign
Minister
Sergey Lavrov at the Black Sea
resort of Sochi, the U.S. State
Department said Monday.
Russia’s foreign ministry said
in a statement that it hopes
Kerry’s visit will “normalize
bilateral relations on which
global
stability
largely
depends.”
Ukraine has served as the
main source of discord in dialogue between Moscow and
Washington.
Ukraine continues to be
embroiled in a sporadic conflict
between government and separatist rebel forces in its eastern
regions of Donetsk and
Luhansk despite a cease-fire
agreement sealed in midFebruary.
Western
nations
have
accused Russia of supporting
the separatists with arms and
manpower — a claim that
Moscow has denied.
Russia’s foreign ministry on
Monday instead blamed the
United States for the unrest in
Ukraine and said Washington
was pursuing a policy of trying
to isolate Russia on the international arena.
Russia has bristled at
Washington’s pledge to provide
Ukraine with military assistance in the form of hardware
and training.
In late April, troops from the
United States and Ukraine
kicked off joint training exercises intended to help bolster
Ukraine’s defenses. The exercises, dubbed “Fearless Guardian2015,” sparked an enraged
reaction from Russia, which
described them as a potential
cause of destabilization.
During a visit to Moscow on
Sunday, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel urged Russia to
use its influence to persuade
separatists in Ukraine to abide
by the oft-violated cease-fire.
Ukraine says more than
8,000 people have died in the
conflict that began in April
2014.
Russia has stuck firmly to the
line that the Ukrainian government retains the bulk of
responsibility for bringing about
a settlement.
“We will use all the influence
we have on the leadership in
Donetsk and Luhansk to ensure
the process proceeds at the
required pace and attains the
necessary level,” Putin told
Merkel on Sunday.
Diplomats in Moscow and
Washington remain at odds over
a range of other international
issues.
Russia last month announced
it would lift a five-year ban on
delivery of the S-300 air defense
missile system to Iran, drawing
a hasty rebuke from the United
States.
The White House said the missile system would give the
Islamic republic’s military a
strong deterrent against any air
attack. The Kremlin argues that
the S-300 is a purely defensive
system that will not jeopardize
the security of Israel or any other
countries in the Middle East.
On Syria, Russia has defied a
chorus of international condemnation to remain fast to the
embattled regime of President
Bashar Assad.
Airbus shares fall after plane crash in Spain
MADRID (AP) — Investors
pushed Airbus shares down
Monday on Paris’ stock exchange
after a military turboprop troop
transporter plane undergoing
final flight testing in Spain
crashed, killing four aboard and
injuring two.
Airbus shares were down 2.6
percent to 61.76 euros ($68.97)
as authorities investigated what
caused the A400M to crash into
a farm field Saturday after taking off from the southern city of
Seville, where the planes are
assembled.
Also Monday, German officials
said their military’s A400M has
shown numerous “shortcomings”
during testing following delivery
last December but none to indicate it was not flightworthy.
The company held a moment
of silence at all of its installations around the world for the
dead — the two pilots and two of
the four flight test engineers
aboard.
The voice and flight data black
boxes were recovered on Sunday
and delivered to a Spanish judge
in Seville investigating the case,
Spain’s presidency said in a
statement.
The media office for the judge
said Monday it could not immediately provide any information
about analysis of the black boxes
or the investigation. Spain’s
Development Ministry is also
investigating the crash.
The plane had been due to be
delivered to Turkey after test
flights.
German Defense Ministry
spokesman Uwe Roth said the
Bundeswehr’s first and only
A400M, grounded in the wake of
the accident, was in a test phase
and had shown a “large number
of shortcomings” so far —
though nothing to make it be
deemed unflightworthy.
The German military had
logged 750 flight hours on the
plane. When the test plane
would go back into service
depends upon what is revealed
in the Spanish investigation,
Roth said.
A further five A400M aircraft
were due to be delivered this
year, but Roth said Airbus had
notified the German government
that there would be delays and
that they would only know in the
second half of the year how
many could be expected and
when. Germany has ordered 53
of the new planes.
Malaysia on Monday confirmed that it was grounding its
A400M plane pending results of
the crash probe. Although
Malaysia only has one of the aircraft, it is scheduled to receive
three more.
The country’s decision came
after Britain, Germany and
Turkey grounded theirs over the
weekend and France said it
would only use A400M aircraft in
urgent operations.
Airbus in January dismissed
the head of its military program
after governments including
Germany, France and Turkey
complained about delays in the
20-billion-euro A400M program.
The program has also been
plagued by cost overruns.
France was the first country to
take delivery of an A400M in
2013.
The program was started so
governments could replace their
aging military Transall C-160s
and C-130 Hercules transporter
planes.
Twelve A400Ms have been
delivered and the company has
received 174 orders for the
planes from eight countries.

A mAn loyal to former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh stands guard at Saleh’s house destroyed
by a Saudi-led airstrike in Sanaa, Yemen, Sunday. Yemen’s Shiite rebels and their allies in the country’s
splintered armed forces said Sunday they would accept a five-day humanitarian cease-fire to allow aid
to reach civilians after more than a month of daily Saudi-led airstrikes. Saleh and his forces back Shiite
rebels also known as the Houthis, who are also backed by Iran.
coalition. On Sunday, the staterun Saudi Press Agency reported
that a contingent of Malaysian
troops arrived at Saudi air bases,
without elaborating.
In its statement, the Malaysian
military said it based two C-130
transport planes in the kingdom
only to “facilitate the safe and
smooth evacuation of the
remaining Malaysian citizens in
Yemen.”
Most Gulf rulers to skip U.S. summit
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
(AP) — It is not just the Saudi
king who will be skipping the
Camp David summit of U.S. and
allied Arab leaders. Most Gulf
heads of state won’t be there.
The absences will put a
damper on talks that are
designed to reassure key Arab
allies, and almost certainly
reflect dissatisfaction among
leaders of the six-member Gulf
Cooperation
Council
with
Washington’s handling of Iran
and what they expect to get out
of the meeting.
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel
al-Jubeir announced late on
Sunday that newly installed
King Salman will not be attending. The ostensible reason was
because the upcoming summit
on Thursday coincides with a
humanitarian cease-fire in the
conflict in Yemen, where a
Saudi-led coalition is fighting
Shiite rebels known as Houthis.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Nayef, who is also interior minister, will lead the Saudi delegation and the king’s son, Deputy
Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman, who is defense minister, will also attend.
President Barack Obama had
planned to meet King Salman
one-on-one a day before the
gathering of leaders at the presidential retreat but the White
House did not take his decision
to skip the summit as a sign of
any substantial disagreement
with the United States.
The king, who took power in
January after his brother King
Abdullah died, has not traveled
abroad since his ascension to
the throne.
The tiny island kingdom of
Bahrain said separately that its
delegation would be headed by
the country’s crown prince,
Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
Bahrain, whose leadership
has close ties to the Saudis, is
an important military ally of the
U.S. It is the longstanding host
to the Navy’s 5th Fleet, which is
responsible for operations
around the Arabian Peninsula
and northern Indian Ocean, and
is Washington’s main naval
counterbalance to Iran.
At the summit, leaders of Gulf
nations will be looking for
assurances that they have
Obama’s support at a time when
the region feels under siege from
Islamic extremists and by Iran’s
rising influence. The Gulf states
worry the nuclear pact taking
shape with the U.S., Iran and
other nations may embolden
Tehran to intrude more aggressively in the region.
Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, a professor of political science at
Emirates University, said Gulf
leaders were staying away to
signal their displeasure over the
nuclear talks.
“I don’t think they have a deep
respect, a deep trust for Obama
and his promises. There is a
fundamental difference between
his vision of post-nuclear-deal
Iran and their vision,” he said.
“They think Iran is a destabilizing force and will remain so,
probably even more, if the sanctions are lifted. ... They’re just
not seeing things eye to eye.”
The sultan of Oman, Qaboos
bin Said, is among those staying
away. The sultanate will be represented instead by the deputy
prime minister, Sayyid Fahd bin
Mahmoud Al Said, and other
officials, the country’s official
news agency announced.
The sultan’s absence comes
as little surprise. The long-serv-
ing monarch, whose country
maintains cordial relations with
Iran and has served as a gobetween for Tehran and
Washington, returned home in
March after spending several
months in Germany being treated for an undisclosed illness.
Health issues are also expected to keep the president of the
United Arab Emirates, Sheikh
Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
from attending. He suffered a
stroke in January last year and
has not been seen publicly
since.
Crown
Prince
Sheik
Mohammed bin Zayed Al
Nahyan, the president’s halfbrother, held talks with Obama
at the White House last month
and is expected to lead the
Emirati delegation.
Abdullah, the Emirati professor, said the Gulf ties with the
United States remain strong,
but they have been strained
during Obama’s tenure.
He said Obama is seen within
the region as impersonal compared to his predecessors. He
also noted that recent comments to The New York Times in
which Obama warned that dissatisfaction at home was perhaps a bigger threat than Iran
came across as unnecessary
“lecturing.”
“You just pre-empted the
whole meeting with this kind of
statement,” he said.
Among those who will be at
the summit is the Kuwaiti emir,
Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah. He
arrived at Andrews Air Force
Base on Monday, the official
Kuwait News Agency reported.
Also, Qatar’s emir, Sheikh
Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is
scheduled to depart Monday to
take part in the meeting.
China sees rise in plane-door opening incidents
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese air
travelers have tried opening
emergency doors without authorization 12 times in barely four
months on planes that were taxiing or at a standstill, and one
man was put on trial in the country’s first such legal case, the
Civil Aviation Administration of
China said Monday.
There is no immediate explanation for the apparent spike in
the behavior this year, although
Chinese are traveling in record
numbers, many of them flying for
the first time and lacking basic
aviation safety knowledge.
The man, identified only by his
family name of Piao, stood trial
Monday on the charge of endangering public safety in the northeastern city of Yanji, the administration said in a statement.
Piao opened an emergency
door on an Asiana Airlines flight
on Feb. 12 when the plane was
taxiing, causing the emergency
slide to eject and prompting the
flight crew to take emergency
measures to halt the aircraft, the
administration said.
His act caused the flight to be
delayed for four hours and
severely disrupted the airport
operations, the administration
said. Earlier media reports said
Piao mistakenly raised the handle of the emergency door and
was administratively detained for
10 days.
Passengers have opened emergency doors without authorization 11 other times in 2015 at
airports throughout the country,
the administration said.
The acts “have severely hurt
aviation safety, disrupted flight
operations and caused ill social
impact,” the statement said.
There is no data available for
previous years, but the attention
paid in China to the current incidents suggest such acts were
rare or non-existent in the past.
Authorities appear to be publicizing recent cases as a way to educate the public and stop such
acts.
Last week, tourism authorities
publicly shamed Beijing resident
Zhou Yue by putting him on a
national blacklist for rude behaviors. Upset with flight delay,
Zhou forcibly opened two emergency doors on a domestic flight
in January, and he was late
administratively detained for 15
days.
In one case last year, a man
pulled the handle to open an
emergency door to let in fresh air
while passengers were boarding
the plane in the eastern city of
Hangzhou, according to media
reports.
Piao is the first person in
China to face a criminal charge
for the wanton act, the Civil
Aviation Administration of China
said. No verdict was announced
on Monday.
Powerful southern Indian politician cleared of corruption
NEW DELHI (AP) — An appeals
court in southern India acquitted
powerful regional politician
Jayaram Jayalalitha of corruption
charges Monday, clearing the way
for her to return to public office.
Supporters from Jayalalitha’s
party cheered, set off fire crackers
and danced in the streets of the
Tamil Nadu state capital of
Chennai, her hometown, after the
Karnataka High Court in
Bangalore delivered its verdict.
The 67-year-old Jayalalitha, a
film star in her youth, said the
verdict showed the case had been
“foisted (on me) by political enemies.”
“It has confirmed that I have
done no wrong,” she said in a
statement issued from Chennai.
In throwing out the case,
Justice C.R. Kumaraswamy said
the prosecution had failed to
prove Jayalalitha was guilty. He
also
acquitted
three
of
Jayalalitha’s aides in the same
case.
Jayalalitha was forced last year
to step down as the highest elected official in the southern state of
Tamil Nadu, after a Bangalore
court in September convicted her
of possessing wealth disproportionate to her income and sentenced her to four years in prison.
She spent 21 days in jail before
the Supreme Court granted her
bail, after she argued that she
needed medical attention for diabetes and high blood pressure.
Meanwhile,
her
lawyers
appealed the conviction stemming
from 1996 accusations of amassing 660 million rupees ($11 million) at a time when she was taking a token 1 rupee as her monthly salary. They said the rival party
in office, the DMK, had inflated
the value of her assets, which
they said had been obtained legally.

NYC jail health provider
fails at better rating
NEW YORK (AP) — Overall performance of the private health
care provider for New York City’s
jails failed to improve last year
amid heightened scrutiny over
inmate deaths that put the company’s contract under review,
according to an evaluation
obtained by The Associated Press.
Corizon Health Inc., whose
three-year, $126 million contract
expires Dec. 31, received an
overall rating of “fair” in 2014 for
the second straight year after
being downgraded from “good,”
according to the annual review
conducted by the city health
department.
Officials noted the Brentwood,
Tennessee-based
company
improved its care of mentally ill
inmates, who make up about 40
percent of the roughly 10,000inmates in New York’s sprawling
Rikers Island jail complex. But
the company did a “subpar” job
prioritizing the sickest inmates to
be seen in jail health clinics, the
evaluation shows.
A spokeswoman for Mayor Bill
de Blasio said in a statement that
the Corizon contract is still under
review. In March, the mayor said
administration officials were taking “a hard look” at the contract.
The city health department,
which is charged with providing
health care to the jail, has not
issued any formal requests for
proposals to solicit new bids.
But a person with knowledge of
the administration’s discussions,
who spoke to AP on condition of
anonymity because no final
determination has been made on
a contract, said it was likely the
city’s public hospital system
would take over inmate care.
Corizon’s flat ratings come
amid heightened scrutiny of the
jails in the wake of a series of AP
revelations last year about gruesome deaths of mentally ill
inmates at Rikers — including
one left alone for hours in a cell
that sweltered to 101-degrees
because of malfunctioning equipment and another left unchecked,
covered in feces, in his cell without medication for days, during
which time he sexually mutilated
himself.
Another AP report last year,
based on hundreds of city and
state documents, found that the
timeliness and quality of jail
health care was a factor in at
least 15 inmate deaths deemed
medical in nature since 2009.
Lawmakers subsequently held
an oversight hearing to question
Corizon executives, suggesting
the city adopt a new model for jail
health care.
“Big cities across the country
are dropping contracts with
Corizon because of its underperformance,”
said
City
Councilwoman
Elizabeth
Crowley, adding that the city’s
public hospital system, the
Health
and
Hospitals
Corporation, should take over
care. “You’re an inmate in jail, but
when you’re in that clinician’s
space you are a patient and you
deserve the best quality health
care for whatever your ailment
is.”
In a seven-page response to the
city, Corizon officials said the
company deserved a higher rating, noting it has improved the
treatment of seriously mentally ill
inmates in two therapeutic units
for inmates who have broken jailhouse rules or are susceptible to
doing so.
Company officials also noted
that factors out of their control,
such as the ability of jail guards
to bring inmates to health clinics
on Rikers Island, impacts the
treatment inmates receive.
Facilities are often locked down
for security reasons, such as cell
searches, and staffing limitations
can affect how many correction
officers are available to escort
sick inmates to clinics. The city’s
contract evaluation notes that in
some cases, only 50 percent of
inmates in need of care are actually brought to clinics by guards.
Jail health care at Rikers and
nationwide is notoriously difficult
to provide. Experts say inmates
come into lockups suffering from
higher rates of diseases, such as
hepatitis C, and chronic health
conditions. In New York, nearly
90 percent of inmates have a substance abuse disorder.
The contract evaluation also
comes as a report by state investigators on 37-year-old inmate
Alan Williams’ May 2013 death
found problems with the care
provided by Corizon workers. The
report was made public this
month.

Asia have reached land and relative safety in the past two days.
But an estimated 6,000
Bangladeshis and Rohingya
Muslims from Myanmar remain
trapped in crowded, wooden
boats, migrant officials and
activists said Monday. With food
and clean water running low,
some could be in grave danger.
Worried that vessels will start
washing to shore with dead bodies, the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees, the United States
and several other foreign governments and international organizations held emergency meetings
in recent days, but participants
say there are no immediate plans
to search for vessels in the busy
Malacca Strait waterways.
One of the problems was determining what to do with the
Rohingya if a rescue was
launched, participants said on
condition they not be named.
Seven boats were rescued
Sunday after human traffickers
abandoned the ships and left
passengers to fend for themselves, officials said. Nearly 600
migrants were brought to shore
in western Indonesia and just
over a thousand others to
Malaysia’s Langkawi island.
Denied
citizenship
in
Myanmar, the Rohingya are effectively stateless.
“At this point, I’m not sure
what the concrete next steps are
or should be,” said Vivian Tan,
the UNHCR’s regional press officer in Bangkok, Thailand. “There
is a real sense of urgency, but
there doesn’t seem to be a clear
mechanism in this region for
responding to something like
this.”
Moreover, she said, the location of the boats and the number
of people on board needed to be
clarified.
Some weak and hungry survivors waded to shore, others
swam.
The Rohingya, who are
Muslim, have for decades suffered from state-sanctioned discrimination in Buddhist-majority
Myanmar, which considers them
illegal settlers from Bangladesh
even though many of their fami-
lies arrived generations ago.
Attacks on members of the religious minority, numbering at
around 1.3 million, have in the
last three years left up to 280
people dead and forced 140,000
others from their homes. They
now live under apartheid-like
conditions in crowded camps just
outside the Rakhine state capital,
Sittwe, where they have little
access to school or adequate
health care.
The conditions at home — and
lack of job opportunities — have
sparked one of the biggest exoduses of boat people since the
Vietnam War.
Chris Lewa, director of the
non-profit Arakan Project, which
has been monitoring boat departures and arrivals for more than a
decade, estimates more than
100,000 men, women and children have boarded ships since
mid-2012.
Most are trying to reach
Malaysia, but recent regional
crackdowns on human trafficking
networks have sent brokers and
agents into hiding, making it
impossible for migrants to disembark — in some cases even after
family members have paid $2,000
or more for their release, she
said.
Lewa believes up to 7,000
Rohingya and Bangaldeshis are
still on small and large boats in
the Malacca Strait and nearby
international waters, some after
more than two months at sea.
“I am very concerned about
smugglers abandoning boatloads
at sea,” she said.
Tightly confined, and with limited access to food and clean
water, their health is deteriorating, Lewa said, adding that
dozens of deaths have been
reported.
Police found a big wooden boat
late Sunday night trapped in the
sand in shallow waters at a beach
in Langkawi and have since located 865 men, 101 women and 52
children, said island deputy
police chief Jamil Ahmed. He
added many appeared weak and
thin and that at least two other
boats have not been found.
He said a Bangladeshi man
told police the boat handlers gave
the passengers directions on
where to go once they reached
Malaysian shores before abandoning the group and escaping
into other boats.
“We believe there may be more
boats coming,” Jamil said.
When the four ships neared
Indonesia’s shores, some passengers jumped into the water and
swam, said Steve Hamilton, of the
International Organization for
Migration in Jakarta, Indonesia’s
capital.
They have been taken to a
sports stadium in Lhoksukon,
the capital of North Aceh District,
to be cared for and questioned,
said Lt. Col. Achmadi, chief of
police in the area, who uses only
one name.
Some were getting medical
attention.
“We had nothing to eat,” said
Rashid Ahmed, a 43-year-old
Rohingya man who was on one of
the boats. He said he left
Myanmar’s troubled state of
Rakhine with his eldest son three
months ago.
Thailand has long been considered a regional hub for human
traffickers.
The tactics of brokers and
agents started changing in
November as authorities began
tightening security on land — a
move apparently aimed at
appeasing the U.S. government
as it prepares to release its annual Trafficking in Persons report
next month. Last year, Thailand
was downgraded to the lowest
level, putting it on par with North
Korea and Syria.
Rohingya packing into ships in
the Bay of Bengal have been
joined in growing numbers by
Bangladeshis fleeing poverty and
hoping to find a better life elsewhere.
Up until recently, their first
stop was Thailand, where they
were held in open pens in jungle
camps as brokers collected “ransoms” from relatives. Those who
could pay continued onward,
usually to Malaysia or other
countries. Those who couldn’t
were sometimes beaten, killed or
left to die.
Since May 1, police have
unearthed two dozen bodies from
shallow graves in the mountains
of southern Thailand, the apparent victims of smuggling rings,
they say.

temporary shelter in Lhok Sukon, Aceh province, Indonesia, today. Boats carrying nearly 600
Bangladeshis and long-persecuted Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar washed to shore in western
Indonesia, some after captains and smugglers abandoned the ships, leaving passengers to fend for
themselves, survivors and migrant experts said. Thousands more are believed to be stranded at sea.
Markets fall as hopes low at
Greece bailout deal meeting
BRUSSELS (AP) — Hopes for a
deal between Greece and its
European creditors at a key
meeting Monday are slim,
weighing on the region’s stock
markets as the country struggles to make upcoming debt
repayments.
Ahead of a meeting with his
counterparts in the 19-country
eurozone,
Greek
Finance
Minister Yanis Varoufakis said
Greece and its creditors have a
“moral and political responsibility” to swiftly reach a deal.
Athens will not, however, budge
from its key negotiating positions, he said.
Stock markets fell in the eurozone, led by Athens’ index,
which dropped 2.8 percent.
Despite three months of talks,
Greece and its creditors have
failed to agree on further
reforms and savings Athens
needs to qualify for a 7.2 billion
euro ($8 billion) loan installment. Without the cash, Greece
could go bankrupt within
weeks.
It is expected to be able to
make a 770 million euro repayment to the IMF on Tuesday,
but only after scraping together
enough reserves from local governments and state entities like
hospitals.
Without more bailout loans,
Greece will have trouble paying
pensions and state salaries at
the end of the month, as well as
more debt obligations in July
and August.
In a sign of how the pressure
is growing, Varoufakis is scheduled to meet German Finance
Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble —
one of the toughest negotiators
in the talks with Greece —
ahead of the wider meeting on
Monday.
Varoufakis says Greece’s leftled government will reject any
deal that doesn’t guarantee a
credible prospect of ending
Greece’s economic crisis. The
Greek government came to
power in January on a pledge to
end budget cuts that it blames
for focusing too much on reducing debt, at the expense of the
economy.
Monday’s meeting in Brussels
will include representatives
from international creditor
institutions — the European
Commission, the European
Central
Bank
and
the
International Monetary Fund.
The ministers will take stock
of the institutions’ assessment
of whether Athens has made
enough progress on its reform
plans to secure the sorely-needed payment.
After a shaky start, talks
between Greece and the institutions have improved but no final
agreement to secure the bailout
money is likely on Monday, and
it remains unclear whether one
will come before June 30, when
Greece’s European bailout program expires.
