Chronic poverty can be addressed
‘Toxic Charity’ author says to create opportunities
By JOYANNA LOVE
Banner Senior Staff Writer
“Everyone has something to
contribute, and no one is so poor that
they have nothing to give.”
— Robert Lupton
How can charities do better in eliminating poverty in the United States?
Robert Lupton, author of “Toxic Charity,” said
the best thing they can do is to change programs
that create dependence and create opportunities for
those living in poverty to work for what they need.
Lupton works in Focused Community Strategies
Urban Ministries, located in Atlanta. He believes
that to really understand what a neighborhood
needs, one has to live in the neighborhood and listen.
He shared what he has learned with a packed
room of Cleveland nonprofit and church leaders at
a United Way-sponsored event Wednesday.
When Lupton moved into the neighborhood, he
said, it “changed everything.”
The nonprofit had already established a
Christmas gift-giving program, clothes ministry and
a food pantry before he moved into the neighbor-
hood it was serving.
“The thing that generated the most excitement
was the adopt-a-family program at Christmastime,”
Lupton said. “We would take the names of those
who weren’t going to get anything for Christmas
and give them to caring people around the city,
who would then go shopping and deliver those toys
to the homes of those who were in need. … The
first year that we were living in the city … I was in
the homes of some of the families when the giftbearing family arrived, and I saw something that I
had just never seen before.”
While the children were excited and the mothers

A season of Summer Splash
Churches, partners unite for children’s camp

It’s part sports camp, part art instruction, mixed with daily Bible lessons.
That is Summer Splash.
This seven-year strong event in
Cleveland is providing young people who
cannot afford sports or art camps to
enjoy those activities.
While similar activities may be offered
other places, what makes Summer

Library board chair seeks
matching funds by public
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
John Hagler, president of the ClevelandBradley County Public Library board, is making a plea for the Library Foundation.
The foundation is seeking monetary gifts
dedicated exclusively for extensive renovations to the Historic Branch of the library. If
the foundation can get $75,000 in community donations, the Tucker Foundation, established by the Johnston Family, will provide a
matching grant of $75,000.
Hagler said, “This is the largest project ever
undertaken (locally) to preserve the historic
property and enhance its value.” Hagler

WASHINGTON (AP) — If honeybees are busy pollinating large,
blooming croplands, farmers
wanting to spray toxic pesticides
will soon have to buzz off, the
Environmental Protection Agency
is proposing.
A federal rule to be proposed
Thursday would create temporary pesticide-free zones when
certain plants are in bloom
around bees that are trucked
from farm to farm by professional
beekeepers, which are the majority of honeybees in the U.S. The
pesticide halt would only happen
during the time the flower is in
bloom and the bees are there,
and only on the property where
the bees are working, not neighboring land.
The rule applies to virtually all
insecticides, more than 1,000
products involving 76 different
chemical compounds, said Jim
Jones, EPA’s assistant administrator for chemical safety and
pollution prevention. It involves
nearly all pesticides, including
the much-debated class of pesticides called neonicotinoids, he
said.
The idea is “to create greater
space between chemicals that are
toxic to bees and the bees,” Jones
told The Associated Press.
This is part of a new multi-part
push by the Obama administration to try to reverse dramatic
declines in bee populations. A
new federal survey found beekeepers lost more than 40 percent of their colonies last year,
although they later recovered by
dividing surviving hives.
Scientists blame many factors
for bee declines: pesticides, parasites, pathogens and poor bee
nutrition because of a lack of
wild plants that bees use as food.
The new rule only deals with the
Regulators are moving toward
operating license for Watts Bar
SPRING CITY (AP) — Federal
regulators have voted to grant an
operating license for the Unit 2
reactor at the Tennessee Valley
Authority’s Watts Bar nuclear
plant as long as regulatory
requirements are met.
A Chattanooga newspaper
reports the critical step by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
will keep the Watts Bar Unit 2 proj-
ect on schedule to become the
nation’s first new nuclear generating plant of the 21st century. The
Tennessee Valley Authority has
said it plans to complete the reactor by December 2015.
The project at the Watts Bar
plant near Spring City, Tennessee,
will add 1,100 megawatts of electricity, providing enough energy for
approximately 650,000 homes.
Regents name leaders to 4 institutions
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Tennessee Board of Regents has
appointed three new community
college presidents and a
Tennessee college of applied
technology director.
The board oversees six state
universities, 13 community colleges and 27 colleges of applied
technology.
Flora Tydings will assume the
leadership role at Chattanooga
State on July 13. Also that day,
Tracy D. Hall will become the
president
of
Southwest
Tennessee in Memphis, and
Anthony G. Kinkel will take over
as president of Motlow State in

pesticide part; last week, the federal government came up with a
plan to create more and varied
food for bees on federal land.
The new rule “doesn’t eliminate
(pesticide) exposure to honeybees, but it should reduce it,”
said University of Illinois entomologist May Berenbaum. “It
may not be ideal, but it’s the best
news in about 120 years. In concept, in principle, this is a big
policy change.”
The EPA proposal doesn’t
apply to residential pesticide use,
nor home beekeeping. This is just
for areas where professional beekeepers haul in their hives. These
trucked-around hives now
account for about 90 percent of
honeybees in the U.S., according
to the University of Maryland’s
Dennis van Englesdorp.
This method of managed hives
is the insect equivalent of handling livestock and is “a fairly
intensive
process,”
said
Pennsylvania State University
professor Diana Cox-Foster. “I
think it’s much more work than
raising cows.”
Jones estimates that at least 2
or 2.5 million acres of cropland
will be affected by the new rule. It
only applies to spraying pesticides on leaves, not seed or
ground applications.
“The acreage may not be large,
but the impact is,” Jones said.
“It’s really a function of where the
bees are.” So when bees are pollinating almonds in February and
March, the temporary bans
would be near almond trees.
They would apply near apple
trees in April and May and melons in late spring, he said.
The rule is focused on the time
when scientists can document
the highest risk for bees, Jones
said.
The proposal needs public
comment, then will be finalized. If
all goes according to plan, new
rules and new pesticide labels
will be ready for spring 2016,
Jones said.

Military mistakenly shipped live anthrax samples
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention said Wednesday it is
investigating what the Pentagon
called an inadvertent shipment
of live anthrax spores to government and commercial laboratories in as many as nine states, as
well as one overseas, that expected to receive dead spores.
“At this time we do not suspect
any risk to the general public,”
CDC
spokeswoman
Kathy
Harben said.
A Pentagon spokesman, Col.
Steve Warren, said the suspected
live anthrax samples were
shipped from Dugway Proving
Ground, an Army facility in
Utah, using a commercial deliv-
ery service.
Warren said the government
has confirmed one recipient, a
laboratory in Maryland, received
live spores. It is suspected, but
not yet confirmed, that anthrax
sent to labs in as many as eight
other states also contained live
spores, he said. Later he said an
anthrax sample from the same
batch at Dugway also was sent to
a U.S. military laboratory at
Osan air base in South Korea; no
personnel there have shown
signs of exposure, he said, and
the sample was destroyed.
“There is no known risk to the
general public, and there are no
suspected or confirmed cases of
anthrax infection in potentially
exposed lab workers,” Warren
said.
The anthrax samples were
shipped from Dugway to government and commercial labs in
Texas, Maryland, Wisconsin,
Delaware,
New
Jersey,
Tennessee, New York, California
and Virginia.
The Defense Department, acting “out of an abundance of caution,” has halted “the shipment
of this material from its labs
pending completion of the investigation,” Warren said.
Contact with anthrax spores
can cause severe illness.
Harben said one of the laboratories contacted the CDC to
request “technical consultation.”
It was working as part of a
Pentagon effort to develop a new
diagnostic test to identify biological threats, she said.
“Although an inactivated agent
was expected, the lab reported
they were able to grow live
Bacillus anthracis,” she said,
referring to the bacteria that
cause anthrax disease.
The CDC is working with state
and federal agencies on an investigation with the labs that
received samples from the
Defense Department, she said.
Harben said all samples
involved in the investigation will
be securely transferred to the
CDC or other laboratories for
further testing.

Firefighters treat woman
and pets after house fire
By TONY EUBANK
Banner Staff Writer
The Cleveland Fire Department
rescued a sleeping woman and
her pets from a house fire
Wednesday afternoon.
According to reports, at
approximately 2 p.m., firefighters
responded to a residence in the
2000 block of Hickory Drive on a
report of an automatic fire-alarm
activation.
As crews arrived on the scene,
they reportedly detected an odor
of smoke coming from the residence. Firefighters gained entry
and found a moderate amount of
smoke.
Upon searching the residence,
a woman was found asleep in a
bedroom. She was immediately
removed from the residence and
treated by fire department personnel until the arrival of Bradley
County EMS.
The cause of the smoke, a
small fire in the kitchen, was
found and quickly extinguished.
Additionally, two of the homeowner’s pets were removed and
treated at the scene. The patient
was treated on the scene and
chose not to be transported to a
hospital.
n Cleveland Police have
responded to two more car burglaries in which high-priced
items where taken from in front
of a residence.
The first occurred on Grove
Avenue. Upon arrival, CPD officers spoke with the female complainant, who related to them
that all three of the vehicles in
her driveway had been entered
and had items removed from
them.
Several items including sunglasses, fishing rods and a
designer purse with a total value
of over $700 were taken.
The victim told officers all
three vehicles were unlocked at
the time.
The second car burglary took
place on Centenary Avenue.
Upon arrival, CPD spoke with a
female complainant who related
to them that when she went out
to her vehicle, she noticed items
that had been in her center console were on the front seats.
She saw her revolver was
missing from the center console.
There was no forced entry and
the woman related to officers that
she had forgotten to lock the
doors on the previous evening.
The gun, valued at $300, had two
rounds in the barrel according to
the owner.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
American education landscape
is shifting.
More U.S. school-age kids live
in poverty and need Englishlanguage services, according to
a report released Thursday by
the National Center for
Education Statistics.
Enrollment in public schools
is up, including in charter
schools that have grown in popularity. At the same time, smaller numbers of children attend
private schools.
Fewer students are dropping
out of high school.
And, while more undergraduate students seek financial aid
to obtain a four-year degree,
college graduates continue to
earn more than their peers.
Here’s a by-the-numbers look
from the report:
—1 in 5: Proportion of schoolage kids living in poverty in
2013, compared with 1 in 7 in
2000.
—65: Percentage of 3- to 5year-olds enrolled in preschool
in 2013 — about the same as a
year earlier.
—49.8 million: Number of students enrolled in public schools
in 2012-13, up from 49.5 million a year earlier.
—2.3 million: Number of students in 2012-13 attending
charter schools, compared with
2.1 million a year earlier.
—9.2: Percentage of Englishlanguage learners in the 201213 school year, compared with
9.1 percent a year earlier.
—5.3 million: Number of students enrolled in a private K-12
school in the 2011-12 school
year, down from 5.5 million two
years earlier.

7: Percentage of 16- to 24year-olds not enrolled in school
who did not have a high school

Jazz up your grilled chicken routine with Greek yogurt sauce
Hints from Heloise
By ALISON LADMAN
Associated Press
It’s pretty unlikely that we’ll
ever get bored with burgers on
the grill. But chicken? Yeah...
That actually happens pretty
early in the season every summer.
Because as much as we like
all manner of chicken on the
grill, after a while it all starts to
taste the same. Yet another
chicken breast marinated in
this or that and tossed over the
flames. Doesn’t matter whether
you put it on a bun or a bed of
greens... It’s chicken.
So we decided to create a
recipe to brighten our summer
chicken landscape. We wanted
easy. We also wanted something friendly to the do-ahead
crowd. And most importantly,
we wanted delicious.
These grilled Greek chicken
pitas were just right. The chicken thighs can be marinated in
the cumin- and garlic-rich
yogurt sauce overnight for dinner ease. The rest of the ingredients prep in no time, and the
chicken itself is on and off the
grill in under 15 minutes.
The result? An easy chicken
that eats like a burger and
won’t leave you wishing for
something more exciting.
—GRILLED GREEK CHICKEN
PITAS
Start to finish: 30 minutes
plus marinating
Servings: 6
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Kosher salt and ground
black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped

fresh oregano
2 pounds boneless, skinless
chicken thighs (about 6),
trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons sugar
1 English cucumber, thinly
sliced
6 small pita bread pockets,
to serve
Feta cheese, to serve
Chopped tomato, to serve
In a medium bowl, combine
the cumin, garlic, 2 tablespoons
of the red wine vinegar, the
yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the oregano.
Whisk until smooth. Set half the
mixture aside in a small bowl.
Cover and refrigerate until
ready to assemble the pitas.
Leave the remaining yogurt
mixture in the medium bowl
and add the chicken. Turn to
coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up
to overnight.
In another bowl, stir together
the remaining 4 tablespoons
red wine vinegar with the
sugar. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt
and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until the sugar and
salt are dissolved. Add the
cucumber, cover and refrigerate until time to assemble the
pitas.
When the chicken has marinated, heat the grill to medium-high. Using an oil-soaked
paper towel held with tongs,
coat the grill grates with oil.
Place the chicken on the
grill, discarding excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6
minutes per side, or until the
chicken reaches 170 F.
Transfer to a serving platter.
Drain the cucumber slices. Fill
each pita pocket with a few
pieces of chicken, a few of the
marinated cucumbers, a drizzle
of the reserved yogurt sauce, a
sprinkle of feta cheese and
chopped
tomatoes.
Serve
immediately.

Dear Heloise: Fist bump versus handshake? Due to the
spread of GERMS, I find touching
distasteful, yet it continues, especially in large social gatherings,
and especially at church. It seems
to me that the Japanese had it
right all along: A slight bow or
curtsy would be a much better
means of showing respect. And if
this doesn’t work, the fist bump is
far more hygienic. — A Reader in
Cincinnati
A handshake is really a form of
greeting, or when leaving to signify
friendship.
A curtsy is a little out of my
ballpark, unless I’m meeting royalty! You can always decline to
shake hands by simply saying so.

Hook ’em
Hello, Heloise, from Spokane,
Wash.
One Saturday, my husband
volunteered to do the laundry. I
told him to hook my bras together
so they wouldn’t snag anything
else in the load.
He brought me the finished
load, and I began folding. When I
got to the bras, I pulled one out.
To my surprise, that bra was
hooked to the next bra, and that
one was hooked to the next one to
form a circle.
Well, I did tell him to hook them
together! Although I meant INDIVIDUALLY, I guess he did what I
told him. We had a good laugh! —

Don’t ask, don’t tell
DIY ice cream that’s almost as easy as eating an entire pint
But what if there was an easier
way to have homemade ice
cream? Two recent ode-to-ice
cream cookbooks suggest there
is.
For the most fun take on ice
cream ever, you need to check
out Bryan Petroff and Douglas
Quint’s “Big Gay Ice Cream”
(Clarkson Potter, 2015), a hilariously over-the-top book inspired
by the duo’s soft serve ice cream
trucks and shops of the same
name. These are the men who
dreamed up crazy delicious cones
like the “Salty Pimp” (vanilla ice
cream, dulce de leche, nuts and
salt) and Mountain Dew sorbet.

By J.M. HIRSCH
AP Food Editor
We all think we’re going to do
it. Many of us even go out and
buy the pricey special equipment
for it. Because when summer’s
heat hits, it’s hard not to fall for
the cool, creamy romance of doit-yourself ice cream.
Except that most of us will
actually make ice cream at home
all of about once... Maybe.
Because while making ice cream
isn’t difficult, it tends to be fussy.
And most of us don’t do fussy all
that well. Particularly when it’s so
much easier to just flip on Netflix,
grab a spoon and down an entire
pint of purchased ice cream on
the couch.

best thing to do for your pet. You
may not be aware of many factors
that the vet knows. It’s not an easy

years of experience and vast
knowledge these professionals
have. Once you have as much
information as you want, yes, it’s
your decision, of course. Having
had many, many beloved animals

think in terms of what is best for
my pet, not what is best for me. My

Swollen rivers cause Texas cities to worry about flooding
HOUSTON (AP) — While the
barrage of deadly thunderstorms
that hit Texas has tapered, many
cities remain in danger, and officials have warned about the possibility of more flooding from
rain-swollen rivers as the week
goes on.
In suburban Houston, the
rains have pushed the San
Jacinto River above flood stage,
and its waters were expected to
cover streets in subdivisions
along the west fork of the river,
possibly stranding people in
their homes for days if they don’t
leave.
In Wharton, about 60 miles
southwest of Houston, the mayor
asked residents to voluntarily
evacuate about 300 homes on
the west side of the city due to
the predicted rise of the Colorado
River. In the Parker County town
of Horseshoe Bend in North
Texas, officials asked about 250
residents to leave their homes as
the Brazos River was expected to
rise above its flood stage of 21
feet on Thursday.
Meanwhile, in Central Texas,
crews continued searching for
nine people feared dead after the
swollen Blanco River smashed
through Wimberley, a small
tourist town between San

IRS believes identity thieves from Russia
WASHINGTON (AP) — IRS
investigators believe the identity
thieves who stole the personal tax
information of more than
100,000 taxpayers from an IRS
website are part of a sophisticated criminal operation based in
Russia, two officials told the
Associated Press.
The information was stolen as
part of an elaborate scheme to
claim fraudulent tax refunds, IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen
told reporters. Koskinen declined
to say where the crime originated.
But two officials briefed on the
matter said Wednesday the IRS
believes the criminals were in
Russia, based on computer data
about who accessed the information. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to publicly
discuss the ongoing criminal
investigation.
An IRS spokeswoman said
Wednesday the agency couldn’t
comment on the investigation.
The revelation highlights the
global reach of many cyber criminals. And it’s not the first time
the IRS has been targeted by
identity thieves based overseas.
In 2012, the IRS sent a total of
655 tax refunds to a single
address in Lithuania, and 343
refunds went to a lone address in
Shanghai, according to a report
by the agency’s inspector general.
The IRS has since added safeguards to prevent similar
schemes, but the criminals are
innovating as well.
The information was taken
from an IRS website called “Get
Transcript,” where taxpayers can
get tax returns and other tax filings from previous years. In order
to access the information, the
thieves cleared a security screen
that required detailed knowledge
about each taxpayer, including
their Social Security number,
date of birth, tax filing status and
street address.
The IRS believes the criminals
originally obtained this information from other sources. They
were accessing the IRS website to
get even more information about
the taxpayers, which would help
them claim fraudulent tax
refunds in the future, Koskinen
said.
The thieves have already used
some of the information to claim
as much as $50 million in fraudulent tax refunds, Koskinen said.
“We’re confident that these are
not amateurs,” Koskinen said.
“These actually are organized
crime syndicates that not only we
but everybody in the financial
industry are dealing with.”
The IRS believes the thieves
started targeting the website in
February. Technicians discovered
the breach about two weeks ago,
when they noticed an increase in
the number of taxpayers seeking
transcripts. The website was shut
down last week.
Congress
is
demanding
answers about how identity
thieves were able to steal the
information.
The Senate Finance Committee
has scheduled a hearing for
Tuesday. Koskinen and J. Russell
George, the Treasury inspector
general for tax administration,
are scheduled to testify.
“When the federal government
fails to protect private and confidential taxpayer information,
Congress must act,” said Sen.
Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, chairman
of the Finance Committee.
“Taxpayers deserve to know
what happened at the IRS
regarding the data theft, and this
hearing will be the first step of
many that the committee takes
to determine what happened and
how the government can prevent
such attacks from happening
again.”
Hatch also requested a confidential briefing by IRS officials.
He said he wants to know where
the scheme originated, and
whether the IRS can link it to any
other breaches at other organizations.
New rules on stream protection hailed, criticized
WASHINGTON (AP) — New federal rules designed to better protect small streams, tributaries
and wetlands — and the drinking
water of 117 million Americans
— are being criticized by
Republicans and farm groups as
going too far.
The White House says the
rules, issued Wednesday, will
provide much-needed clarity for
landowners about which waterways must be protected against
pollution and development. But
House Speaker John Boehner
declared
they
will
send
“landowners, small businesses,
farmers, and manufacturers on
the road to a regulatory and economic hell.”
The rules, issued by the
Environmental Protection Agency
and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, aim to clarify which
smaller waterways fall under federal protection after two Supreme
Court rulings left the reach of the
Clean Water Act uncertain. EPA
Administrator Gina McCarthy
said the waters affected would be
only those with a “direct and significant” connection to larger
bodies of water downstream that
are already protected.
The Supreme Court decisions
in 2001 and 2006 left 60 percent
of the nation’s streams and millions of acres of wetlands without
clear federal protection, according to EPA, causing confusion for
landowners and government officials.
The new rules would kick in
and force a permitting process
only if a business or landowner
took steps to pollute or destroy
covered waters.
EPA says the rules will help
landowners understand exactly
which waters fall under the
Clean Water Act. For example, a
tributary must show evidence of
flowing water to be protected —
such as a bank or a high water
mark.
President Barack Obama said
that while providing that clarity
for business and industry, the
rules “will ensure polluters who
knowingly threaten our waters
can be held accountable.”
There is deep opposition from
the Republican-led Congress and
from farmers and other landowners concerned that every stream,
ditch and puddle on their private
land could now be subject to federal oversight. The House voted
to block the regulations earlier
this month, and a Senate panel
is planning to consider a similar
bill this summer.
House Speaker Boehner called
the rules “a raw and tyrannical
power grab.”
EPA’s McCarthy has acknowledged the proposed regulations
last year were confusing, and she
said the final rules were written
to be clearer. She said the regulations don’t create any new permitting requirements for agriculture and even add new exemptions for artificial lakes and
ponds and water-filled depressions from construction, among
other features.
These efforts were “to make
clear our goal is to stay out of
agriculture’s way,” McCarthy and
Assistant Secretary of the Army
for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy
said in a blog on the EPA website.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation has led opposition to
the rules, saying they could
make business more difficult for
farmers. The group said
Wednesday that it would wait to
review the final rules before
responding.
The agriculture industry has
been particularly concerned about
the regulation of drainage ditches
on farmland. The EPA and Army
Corps said the only ditches that
would be covered under the rule
are those that look, act and function like tributaries and carry pollution downstream.
Another farm group, the
National Farmers Union, said it
still has some concerns about
the impact on farmers but is
pleased with the increased clarity
on ditches, “removing a gray area
that has caused farmers and
ranchers an incredible amount of
concern.”
Since the rules were originally
proposed last year, the EPA has
been working to clear up some
misconceptions, putting to rest
rumors that puddles in your
backyard would be regulated, for
example. Farming practices currently exempted from the Clean
Water Act — plowing, seeding
and the movement of livestock,
among other things — will continue to be exempted.
Environmentalists praised the
rules, saying many of the
nation’s waters would regain federal protections that had been in
doubt since the Supreme Court
rulings.
Margie Alt, executive director
with Environment America,
called the rules “the biggest victory for clean water in a decade.”
Antonio and Austin, over the
Memorial Day weekend. In
Houston, residents whose homes
were flooded by torrential rains
on Monday and Tuesday also
continued their cleanup efforts.
The storms and floods in Texas
and Oklahoma this week have
left at least 21 people dead and
about a dozen others missing.
While the Houston area got a
respite from rainy weather for
most of Wednesday, the heavy
rains from earlier in the week
were still making their way
downstream. By late Wednesday,
the San Jacinto was at 52 feet,
nearly three feet above its flood
stage, said Kim Jackson, a
spokeswoman for the Harris
County Flood Control District.
“We’re advising residents to
take any measures that they
deem appropriate for their safety
as the river continues to rise,”
she said.
Joey Shedd, 23, didn’t plan on
evacuating his home in the
Moonshine Hill neighborhood
located along the San Jacinto.
Shedd said his home is safe
because it stands on stilts, but
he expected his parents’ home
next door to flood as it is on the
ground.
“It hasn’t been this bad since
Hurricane Ike (in 2008). This
barely makes it to my house,” he
said of the all-terrain vehicle he
was using to ride across the
flooded roadway that leads to his
neighborhood in a rural area
northeast of Houston.
Chuck Bayne was among
those who decided to follow the
advice of officials and leave his
North Texas home in Horseshoe
Bend, about 70 miles west of
Dallas. On Wednesday, Bayne,
owner of the Brazos RV Resort,
headed to his second home in
Arlington.
“Everybody on the river is leaving — except you have a couple
dozen who aren’t leaving. They’re
afraid of looters, and some are
just plain stubborn,” he said.
In Wharton, the Colorado
River is expected to crest at 45.8
feet, which is nearly seven feet
above its flood stage, by Friday.
“Our main concern was getting
residents ahead of the game and
giving them notice to voluntary
evacuate,” said Paula Favors,
city secretary in Wharton, which
has more than 8,800 residents.
In Houston, between 800 and
1,400 homes have already been
damaged by the flooding.
Thousands of homes were also
damaged or destroyed in the central Texas corridor that includes
Wimberley — 744 of them in San
Marcos alone.
This has been the wettest
month on record for Texas, even
with several days left. The state
climatologist’s
office
said
Wednesday that Texas has gotten an average of 7.54 inches of
rain in May, breaking the old
record of 6.66 inches, set in
June 2004. While rain is in the
forecast the next couple of days
for many of the affected areas,
the chances for showers are
greater during the weekend.
On the banks of the Blanco in
Central Texas, Brian Martinez
and his wife, Pam, continued
Wednesday to clean up their
home after it was swamped when
the river crested Sunday.
“I’ve cried all day,” said Pam
Martinez. “Every time I opened a
drawer and saw there was more
water. It was too much for me.”

when he walked across the
street to ask another children’s
pastor if he would be interested in partnering for a summer
camp. As the pastors began to
plan, they invited other
churches to join.
“We just set up a meeting
and invited other children’s
pastors to come,” Shumate
said.
They also approached
Cleveland Net about providing
backing and leadership support for the program.
Shumate said donors in the
community make it possible
for the event to be free to the
children who participate.
The camp had 200 children
attend in its first year. This
number quickly grew to 1,000.
“We have kind of restructured over the years. This year
our focus is 500, and we are
really focusing on … kids from
more at-risk areas,” Shumate
said.
In planning the camp, the
children’s pastors wanted to
create something that would
appeal to all students who had
just completed kindergarten up
through rising sixth-graders.
“It’s neat to look back now
and see kids that were going to
it six years ago are now serving, so we make an avenue for
them to volunteer and learn
how to give back to the community,” Shumate said.
Shumate said they wanted to
offer opportunities for the children who were interested in
sports but could not afford the
established sports camp in the
area.
“So what we did was we
partnered with local coaches
from Lee (University) and from
local schools, and they run our
sports program,” Shumate
said.
Some of these coaches’ players have also gotten involved
as volunteers.
A local drama teacher volunteers time to provide performing arts activities throughout
the week.
Partnerships have also
allowed the camp to offer
dance and visual art.

The old home place was the

more than six decades. As the
Historic Branch, it now houses
the community’s geneaology and
archival records, readily available
to the public.
The Tucker Foundation donated $150,000 earlier this year to
kick off the renovation project,
and has now offered the matching
grant to confirm local support for
the project.
If the Library Foundation can
raise the $75,000, it would be
about 60 percent of what is
desired to renovate and maintain
the house with a private foundation endowment.

bracelets and other things,”
Shumate said. “We didn’t want
it to be just sports, because we
knew that would reach a certain group of kids, but like my
kids, they want to do the art,
so we wanted to provide an
array of things.”
Planning for the week begins
in January.
Partnerships have changed
over the years, but the goal of
the camp remains the same.
“Not only do they have the
activities, but they come back
to what we call Big Splash,
and Big Splash is where we
give them the evangelist message of the gospel,” Shumate.
“It’s truly the reason why we
started the camp — to share
the Gospel with children. …
Most people that make a decision for Christ, it happens
between the ages of 8 and 13,
studies have shown.”
Shumate said he enjoys seeing the teams from different
churches and organizations
come together.
“It is truly a joint community
effort,” Shumate said.
Shumate said he has also
enjoyed seeing the children in
the community after the camp
when they recognize him.
“My heart’s for the city, my
heart’s for the community,”
Shumate said.
Westwood Baptist Church
will serve as the host site this
year as it has for the past few.
Before that, Westmore Church
of God’s Candies Lane property
had been used.
Shumate said finding a place
with enough space and the
needed road access to make
child pickup and dropoff safe
has proved challenging to the
program through the years.
The camp also partners with
the Bradley County Summer
Feeding program to provide
lunch for the children who
attend.
One change this year is
instead of bringing in a “big
name speaker,” the Big Splash
time will feature ministries
from participating churches,
including speakers and drama
teams.
“There is so much talent and
gifting within our community,
in our group,” Shumate said.
The camp ends on a high
note with a water-themed day.
This year the camp will be
offered June 1 to June 5.
Registration for campers for
this year has closed and volunteers are gearing up for a week
full of fun.

Commission approved the railings because they replace existing, similar railings.
“This would be covered primarily by the landscaping we

Sarah Coleman did not vote

follow the driveway and then
proceed to run parallel to
Church Street and make a connection to the existing fence
next to the Cleveland Public

“The driveway would be
spanned by a 14-foot gate. On

school attendance. A representative from the school will also provide for the court a child’s grades,
along with attendance records and
any disciplinary issues.
Then, if all parties can agree on a
plan for resolving the issue, the
mediator will present a pre-trial
agreement for approval.
If a resolution cannot be found,
then the mediator will end the
hearing and the SRO may file a
petition to the Juvenile Court, at
which point all of the court costs
and expenses for the petition will
be charged to the parent or
guardian.
Juvenile Court Director Terry
Gallaher and Kim Goins, special
programs coordinator and Campus
Court mediator, sat down to discuss the policies and procedures
that drive the program, stating that
there is not a another program like
this in the state of Tennessee.
“It is designed to intervene at an
early age and deal with the first
signs or indication that a child was
going to have problems,” Gallaher
said. “If you were to go to the state
penitentiary and tracked all those
people back to the very beginning,
the first indication that those individuals would have any kind of
legal problems in their life was truancy. Almost 100 percent of those
people had truancy issues.”
He said the court has learned
there is usually something going on
in the home that is keeping the
child from attending school.
“It could be a number of things,
but usually, and especially at the
elementary level, it’s the parent,”
Gallaher said. “It could be drug
abuse, it could be marital problems, physical abuse, divorce,
mental illness, it could be all kinds
of problems. Even legal issues —
the father or mother could be
incarcerated.”
Gallaher went on to explain that
the Campus Court is not meant to
be punitive, but is instead designed
to be service-oriented and allow
some wiggle room to make it easier
for parents to comply.
The goal is to keep families out of

the Family and Juvenile Court and
to help them create and meet goals,
while guiding them to resources
that will assist them to that end.
“We try to do assessments and
educate the parents,” said
Gallaher.
Goins explained the mediator’s
role in more detail.
“The school officials will bring in
any disciplinary issues and grades,
along with the truancy, so that we
can look at the whole picture of the
child’s issues,” she said.
“We discuss with the parent
behavioral issues, and if the grades
are suffering, we try to find out if
they’re aware that school offers
tutoring, or if they’re aware of the
community services that are
offered,” Goins said. “We also have
a behavioral unit here at Juvenile
Court, where we try to get them
plugged into counseling services if
we feel like that’s a good option for
that family.”
“I am here to help parents, not to
instill fear,” said Goins.
Goins explained the Campus
Court is mostly about truancy,
“But truancy is just an opportunity
to try and intervene and see if
something that we can recommend
that can help and prevent future
truancies.”
Gallaher added that what the
Campus Court is really trying to do
is provide rehab and try to do
something to restore the family
unit at some level.
He also explained most of the
cases deal with middle school and
younger children.
He said many times when children are truant in high school it’s
usually not the parents’ fault.
“If a parent drops their child off
at the front door of the school and
they walk in and walk right out the
back door, what can they do?”
Gallaher asks.
Last year, the Campus Court
heard a total of 1,138 cases and
only 184 of those ended up going to
the Juvenile or Family court. Goins
explained that cases usually don’t
get sent to the Juvenile Court
unless a parent is completely uncooperative or hostile.
Between January and April of
this year, Campus Court has heard
393 cases, of which 82 have been
resolved or closed out, while only
sending 27 to the Family or
Juvenile Court.
General Sessions Court Judge
Daniel Swafford, who also presides over the Family and
Juvenile courts, discussed the
work done by the Campus Court,
saying that the Campus Court is
an opportunity to establish a
relationship with and a dynamic
with the schools and is designed
to be more of an intervention program.
“Campus Court is an informal,
voluntary forum,” Swafford said.
“We’re looking to try and resolve
attendance issues and minor
behavioral issues there. If the family can’t deal with it or doesn’t want
to deal with it in that way, then we
send them on up to a more formal
setting.”
Swafford offered some praise for
the work done at the Campus
Court.
“It’s been a really good program.
The majority of the cases are remedied at the school and the family
isn’t caught up in having to miss
work for court, and there’s no filing
fees or court costs,” said Swafford.
Poverty

seemed comfortable with the situation, if
a father was home Lupton said he
would always disappear as the children
opened the gifts.
“It dawned on me what was happening. These parents, in front of their own
kids, were being exposed for their inability to provide,” Lupton said. “The moms
would endure that indignity for the sake
of the kids, but it was just more than a
father’s sense of pride could handle … it
was very disturbing to me, and it made
me wonder: ‘The other programs that we
have, are they diminishing the very
neighbors we are trying to serve?’”
Lupton said he found giving away
clothes created friction between the
staff, who tried to limit how much people took and those who were there to
receive the clothing.
“In no time, we are acting like the
temple police, guarding the very
resources of the kingdom from the people we are there to serve,” Lupton said.
As he watched the food ministry, he
noticed that though the people were
grateful, they were also downcast, and
the ministry was not building up the
person.
He pointed out he noticed giving a
person something once brought gratitude, twice brought anticipation, three
times brought expectation, four times
brought entitlement and “by the fifth
time, it is just plain dependency.”
“It was a spiral I saw over and over
again in the way we were doing our
charity,” Lupton said.”It was a toxic system that instead of leading them out of
poverty led them into a deeper level of
poverty.”
Service projects were also seen with a
new eye.
“One Saturday morning Virgil … said
something that really shocked me: ‘You
know Rob, I just hate it when those volunteers come.’”
While Virgil was appreciative for the
volunteers who built his house, he said
they insulted him without even realizing
it.
One raved about how neat and clean
the house was, while another praised
his well-behaved children. Virgil said he
knew they meant them as compliments,
“but I know what’s behind that.” Virgil
said the expected a “black family living
in the inner city” to be rowdy and
messy.
These comments led Lupton to reevaluate, not only the programs offered
but his personal reasons for participating in them.
“I enjoyed the position of privilege, the
position of being able to give things out
to folks. There is a lot of ego satisfaction
in that,” Lupton said. “I cloaked that in
a facade of humility ... I certainly wouldn’t have wanted to trade places with
anyone.”
Lupton came to the conclusion that
their model of giving things away actual-
“A crisis demands an
emergency response ... but as
soon as the crisis has passed ...
now it’s time to shift into
development, helping people
rebuild their lives, rebuild
their homes. If you address a
chronic need with an
emergency response, a crisis
response, people are harmed.”
— Robert Lupton
ly disempowered those served rather
than empowering them to live beyond
poverty.
The programs were changed to limit
free items to true emergency situations.
“A crisis demands an emergency
response ... but as soon as the crisis
has passed ... now it’s time to shift into
development, helping people rebuild
their lives, rebuild their homes,” Lupton
said. “If you address a chronic need
with an emergency response, a crisis
response, people are harmed.”
He gave the example of hunger being
a chronic situation in poverty. Lupton
said he has never seen a starving person in Atlanta. He said the way this
need is traditionally addressed is continuing to create dependency and keep
some people in poverty.
Part of the restructuring of Focused
Community Strategies Urban Ministries
was narrowing the focus to serving the
immediate neighborhood.
“So you have increased accountability
and you know what the real needs are,”
Lupton said.
A shift also came in how those in
poverty were seen by the organization.
Instead of teenagers painting graffiti
being seen as troublemakers, they were
seen as aspiring artists and given a
mural project. Clients were seen as
potential employees.
“Everyone has something to contribute, and no one is so poor that they
have nothing to give,” Lupton said.
The Christmas toy giveaway became a
store where donated toys were sold at a
low cost to parents who could not otherwise afford them. Those who did not
have any money were hired to work in
the store. Lupton said this gave dignity
to the parents. The money raised
through the event created an employment-readiness program for unemployed parents.
“Parents would a whole lot rather
work to earn to purchase that toy,
those toys, that they knew they would
delight their kids ... they would rather
do that then to stand in the free toy
lines with their proof of poverty to
accept toys that somebody else picked
out,” Lupton said.
The clothes ministry became a store
that employed people from the community. The food ministry became a food
co-op where members pay $5 to buy
food at the Atlanta Food Bank through
the nonprofit. The members of the co-op
have meetings, a secretary and make
decision for themselves on how the
group should operate.
The model has been successfully
implemented in three communities.
Lupton outlined the oath that those
at FCS Urban Ministries follow:
1. “I will never do for others what
they have the capacity to do for themselves.”
2. “I will limit my one-way giving to
emergency situations, and seek always
to find ways and means for legitimate
exchange.”
3. “I will seek ways to empower the
poor through hiring, lending and investing, and use grants sparingly as incentives that reinforce achievements.”
4. “I will put the interests of the poor
above my own (or organizational) selfinterest, even when it may be costly.”
5. “I will take time to listen and carefully assess both expressed and unspoken needs, so that my actions will ultimately strengthen rather than weaken
the hand of those I would serve.”
6. “Above all, to the best of my ability,
I will do no harm.”
Those present were challenged to follow this promise in their own nonprofits
and ministries.

Cleveland Daily Banner—Thursday, May 28, 2015—7
WASHINGTON (AP) — Those
automated phone calls during
the dinner hour, late at night or
to your wireless phone can be so
frustrating — and the government is taking note.
The head of the Federal
Communications Commission
circulated a proposal Wednesday
designed to close loopholes, reaffirm current anti-robocall rules,
and encourage wireless and wireline carriers to do more to fight
against unwanted telemarketing
calls and spam text messages to
consumers.
A key part of the plan: clearing
up any confusion over whether
the phone carriers can offer
blocking services — so-called
robo-blocking technology that
could help people stop the
unwanted calls.
“We are giving the green light
for robocall-blocking technology,” FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler
wrote in a blog-post on the commission website.
Phone companies have said
that they worry that automatic
call-blocking might run afoul of
laws requiring them to connect
phone calls.
In his blog, Wheeler said the
technology can be offered without violating the rules. “The FCC
wants to make it clear: telephone
companies can — and in fact
should — offer consumers robocall-blocking tools,” he said.
Another part of the plan aims
to make it easier for consumers
to say “no” to robocalls and texts.
People would simply be able to
say “stop” and cannot be told
that they need to fill out a form
and mail it in to get the calls to
cease. And for people who switch
phones and inherit a new phone
number, the Wheeler proposal
says they should not be subjected to unwanted calls that the
previous owner consented to.
Unwanted robocalls, robotexts, and telemarketing calls are
the biggest source of consumer
complaints at the FCC, with the
agency receiving more than
215,000 complaints last year
alone.
Consumer groups praised the
Wheeler plan, which the commission will vote on at its June 18
meeting.
“This should clear the way for
companies to offer the call-blocking tools that people want to stop
robocalls from invading their
homes morning, noon and
night,” said Delara Derakhshani,
policy counsel for Consumers
Union.
An industry group, US
Telecom, said it was studying
Wheeler’s proposal. “USTelecom
supports the FCC’s efforts to provide consumers with options to
mitigate unwanted phone calls,
and to take strong enforcement
actions against illegal robocallers,” spokeswoman Anne
Veigle said.
She declined to say specifically
whether the group supports
Wheeler’s plan to allow or
encourage the phone companies
to offer the blocking technologies
to consumers.
Another group, CTIA-The
Wireless Association, said there
are a number of apps and features available to consumers to
help stop robocalls and other
intrusions. “While we are still
reviewing the details of the chairman’s proposals, we remain committed to working with all interested parties to help protect consumers while preserving choice
and promoting innovation,” the
association’s statement said.
A spokeswoman for AT&T
referred a reporter to US Telecom
for comment. Representatives of
Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile didn’t immediately have a comment.
Some lawmakers questioned
parts of the proposal.
Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass.,
a member of the Commerce,
Science and Transportation
Committee, expressed concern
about an exception in the proposal that would allow free calls or
texts in some circumstances,
such as to alert a consumer to
possible fraud on a bank account
or to remind a person about an
important prescription refill.
The proposed exemptions, he
said in a statement, “will result in
an increase in unwanted calls
and texts to consumers without
their consent.”
The commission had received
more than 20 petitions from companies — including bankers, debt
collectors, app developers, retail
stores, and others — seeking
clarity on rules pertaining to
robocalls. Dozens of state attorneys general also had asked the
FCC to weigh in on whether
blocking robocalls might violate
any
telecommunications
statutes.

Ethiopian fossils indicate
new forerunner of humans
NEW YORK (AP) — A fossil
find adds another twig to the
human evolutionary tree, giving further evidence that the
well-known “Lucy” species had
company in what is now
Ethiopia, a new study says.
A lower jaw, plus jaw fragments and teeth, dated at 3.3
million to 3.5 million years old,
were found in the Afar region of
northern Ethiopia four years
ago.
That shows a second human
ancestor lived in about the
same area and time frame as
Lucy’s species, researchers
said. But not everyone agrees.
In a paper released
Wednesday by the journal
Nature,
the
researchers
announce the new find and
assign it to a species they
dubbed Australopithecus deyiremeda (aw-strah-low-PIH’thuh-kus day-eh-REH’-mehdah). In the Afar language the
second name means “close relative,” referring to its apparent
relationship to later members
of the evolutionary tree.
But nobody knows just how
it’s related to our own branch of
the family tree, said Yohannes
Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland
Museum of Natural History,
who led the discovery team.
Our branch, which includes
Homo sapiens and our closest
extinct relatives, arose from the
evolutionary grouping that now
Jobless aid
applications rise
WASHINGTON (AP) — More
Americans sought unemployment
benefits last week, though the
overall level remains low and
points to a healthy job market.
Weekly applications increased
7,000 to a seasonally adjusted
282,000, the Labor Department
said Thursday. The four-week
average, a less volatile measure,
rose 5,000 to 271,500. The average had fallen to a 15-year low
two weeks ago.
Applications are a proxy for
layoffs. They have remained
below 300,000, a historically low
number, for 12 weeks. That suggests Americans are experiencing
solid job security. It also indicates
that employers are confident

to hold onto their staffs.
includes the new creature as
well as Lucy’s species. The new
arrival, and the possibility of
still more to come, complicates
the question of which species
led to our branch, he said.
Previously, fossilized foot
bones found in 2009 near the
new discovery site had indicated the presence of a second
species. But those bones were
not assigned to any species,
and it’s not clear whether they
belong to the newly identified
species either, Haile-Selassie
said. If they don’t, that would
indicate yet another species
from the same time and region
as
Lucy’s
species,
Australopithecus afarensis
Bernard Wood of George
Washington University, who
didn’t participate in the new
work, said the discovery provides “compelling evidence”
that a second creature lived in
the vicinity of Lucy’s species at
the same time. The next question, he said, is how they
shared the landscape.
As evidence that the new
fossils represent a previously
unknown species, the researchers cite specific anatomical differences with known
fossils. But Tim White, a
University of California,
Berkeley, expert in human
evolution, thinks the fossils
actually come from Lucy’s
species.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) —
Nebraska abolished the death
penalty on Wednesday over the
governor’s objections in a move
pushed through the Legislature
with unusual backing from conservatives who oppose capital
punishment for religious, financial and practical reasons.
Senators in the one-house
Legislature voted 30-19 to override the veto of Gov. Pete
Ricketts, a Republican who supports the death penalty. The vote
makes Nebraska the first traditionally conservative state to
eliminate the punishment since
North Dakota in 1973.
The override vote — passed by
the narrowest possible margin —
drew a burst of applause from
death penalty opponents in the
gallery above the legislative
chamber.
“Whenever anything historic
occurs, it’s never the doing of one
person,” said Sen. Ernie
Chambers, an Independent who
introduced a repeal measure 38
times. “I’ve been pushing for this
for 40 years, but all of this time
it’s never been done. If it could be
done by one man, it would have
been done a long time ago.”
Nebraska joins 18 other states
and the District of Columbia in
banning the ultimate punishment. Shortly after the vote,
Ricketts issued a statement condemning the Legislature.
“My words cannot express how
appalled I am that we have lost a
critical tool to protect law
enforcement and Nebraska families,” Ricketts said in a statement. “While the Legislature has
lost touch with the citizens of
Nebraska, I will continue to stand
with Nebraskans and law
enforcement on this important
issue.”
Nebraska’s action to repeal the
death penalty is unusual
because of its traditionally conservative leanings. Maryland was
the last state to end capital punishment, in 2013. Three other
moderate-to-liberal states have
done so in recent years: New
Mexico in 2009, Illinois in 2011
and Connecticut in 2012.
Some senators said they philosophically support the death
penalty but became convinced
the state will never carry out
another execution because of
legal obstacles. Nebraska hasn’t
executed an inmate since a 1997
electrocution, and the state has
never done so with its current
lethal injection protocol.
Nebraska lost its ability to exe-
cute inmates in December 2013,
when one of the three lethal
injection drugs required by state
law expired. Many senators were
swayed by the fact that state officials have repeatedly failed to
administer the punishment, calling the death penalty a poorly
managed and inefficient government program.
“The taxpayers have not gotten
the bang for their buck on this
death penalty for almost 20
years,” said Sen. Colby Coash, a
Republican and death penalty
opponent. “This program is broken. How many years will people
stand up and say we need this?”
Other Republican senators
said they listened carefully to
leaders in the Catholic church
who opposed capital punishment.
Sen. Jeremy Nordquist of
Omaha, a Democrat and death
penalty
opponent,
said
Republican support was critical
in the override effort.
Millions of people have placed
their phone numbers on the federal Do Not Call Registry, which
bars telemarketers from calling
the numbers on the list. But
scammers pay no attention to
the registry, contributing to the
many complaints about telemarketing calls to the FCC and the
Federal Trade Commission.
Often, it’s hard to track down the
scammer making the automated
calls since current technology
allows them to fake or “spoof”
caller ID information, so the
number you see on your caller ID
isn’t the real number and usually
leads to a disconnected number
or something other than the
source of the original call.

have to offer. You'll do better than
you anticipate if you stick to what
you know and keep working hard.
Be proud and move forward with
confidence and you will reach the
destination that will bring you the
highest returns. Don't let negativity
By Ned Classics
By Conrad Day
or poor behavior hold you back or
bring you down. Your numbers are
9, 12, 24, 29, 34, 42, 46.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Refuse to let emotional stress
cause you to make a poor decision.
Back away and let things settle
before you make promises or sign
papers. Haste will lead to waste and
regret. Concentrate on bringing
money in, not on spending it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Someone will give you the wrong
impression. Question the motives
behind an offer. Look for ways to
make personal improvements within
your budget. Romance will improve
your personal life and brighten your
future.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don't
give in to someone's emotional
manipulation. Stand tall, communicate honestly and move in whatever
direction suits you best. Explore job
prospects and you will get ahead
professionally and make financial
gains. Strategize and follow
through.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Don't let anyone at home get your
dander up. Be diplomatic and you
will avoid an argument. An idea you
have should be fleshed out and presented to someone you can count
on for support.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Talk to
anyone who can offer insight into
something you want to pursue. A
trend that interests you is on target.
Develop and promote what you
believe in, but don't let anyone take
advantage of you. Do your own
research before you commence.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do
things for yourself and you won't be
disappointed. A positive frame of
mind will be all it takes to get your
ideas started. Don't offer too much
information or time to someone who
tends to take advantage of you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Push
to get everything done so you can
have some fun with friends or family. A trip, conference or event that
interests you will open your eyes to
all sorts of new possibilities.
Embrace change, and accept that
sometimes it's better to move on.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You
can wheel and deal as long as you
stay in control. Money can be made
and contracts signed. Simplicity will
be the key to getting things done
and staying within budget. Practical
ideas will bring the best results.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): The more outgoing you are, the
more attention and support you will
attract. Make alterations to the way
you live and to the relationships you
cherish. A new beginning will take
you by surprise and lead to an interesting journey.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
You will face obstacles if you pressure others. Take care of your
responsibilities and stay out of
everyone's way. Don't let criticism
set you off. Avoiding a confrontation
will give you a chance to rethink
your strategy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Get things done at home. Put money
and muscle into improving your surroundings. Evaluate proposals and
negotiate on your own behalf. You
will come out ahead if you have suggestions and solutions to offer.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Don't assume that everyone is
being honest with you. Get the lowdown on a situation firsthand before
you get involved in something that
sounds uncertain. Make time for
romance late in the day. Strive to
never become bitter.
Birthday Baby: You are compassionate, intelligent and progressive.
You are creative and helpful.

500 Questions
After a run of just over a week, the new
game show reaches its conclusion, with
contestants still vying to answer the most
general-interest queries without getting
three in a row wrong ... which gets them
ejected from the proceedings. CNN newsman Richard Quest is the host of the competition, developed by television titan Mark
Burnett (“Survivor,” “Shark Tank”) and Mike
Darnell, who was the chief of unscripted
series at Fox for many years.
9 p.m. on (WRCB)
Aquarius
A return to “The X-Files” is in his future, but
first, David Duchovny will spend the summer on a collision course with an infamous
figure — Charles Manson, played by Gethin
Anthony (“Game of Thrones”) — in this new
suspense drama. The premiere episode,
“Everybody’s Been Burned,” casts Duchovny as an L.A. homicide detective circa
1967. His search for an ex-flame’s missing
daughter involves an undercover peer (Grey
Damon). Another episode follows.
9 p.m. on (WDSI)
Wayward Pines
Ethan (Matt Dillon) struggles to come to
terms with Kate’s (Carla Gugino) actions
against Beverly (Juliette Lewis) in the new
episode “Our Town, Our Law.” Things only
get worse for him from there, thanks to his
latest encounter with Sheriff Pope (Terrence Howard). Theresa and Ben (Shannyn
Sossamon, Charlie Tahan) continue their
quest to find Ethan. Justin Kirk (“Weeds”)
guest stars as a realtor. Melissa Leo, Toby
Jones and Reed Diamond also star.
9:01 p.m. on (WDEF)
Mom
At times when things are at their worst,
it can be a real challenge to find a sunny
side — but Christy (Anna Faris) strives to
do just that, even though she and her family
are pretty much without a home, in “Figgy
Pudding and the Rapture.” Bonnie (Allison
Janney) tries to make her see the reality
of their situation, though. Jamie Pressly
continues her guest role, and Kevin Pollak
returns as Christy’s father Alvin.
10 p.m. on (WDEF)
Elementary
A double murder makes Holmes and Watson (Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu) sleuthing
partners again in “The Five Orange Pipz.”
Problems are generated by Kitty (guest
star Ophelia Lovibond) when she becomes
jealous of her mentor Holmes’ history and
plainly evident comfort with Watson. Sonya
Walger (“Lost”) and Zak Orth (“Revolution”)
also guest star. Aidan Quinn also stars.

Ford recalls 423K vehicles
for power steering problem
NATIONAL BRIEFS
Toddler stable after falling from
Brooklyn apartment window
NEW YORK (AP) — A 2-year-old
girl is in serious but stable condition after falling from a third-floor
window in Brooklyn.
Police say it happened around
7 p.m. Wednesday on 44th street
in the Borough Park section.
The child, Nyjeana Civil, fell 30
feet and landed on the sidewalk.
WCBS-TV says the window she
fell from had a guard and screen
on it, but appeared to have a hole
in it.
Fire officials say she suffered
head and neck injuries. First
responders found her alert and
conscious.
The girl’s mother was home at
the time. Police do not suspect
any criminality, but the investigation is continuing.
Man arrested for massive
downtown Los Angeles blaze
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man
has been arrested on suspicion of
starting a massive inferno that
destroyed an unfinished apartment building and damaged adjacent office towers in downtown
Los Angeles, authorities said.
Dawud Abdulwali, 56, of Los
Angeles, whose name may be an
alias, was arrested Tuesday on a
traffic warrant and only later was
booked on suspicion of aggravated arson and arson of a structure,
potential charges that could lead
to a life sentence, fire officials
said.
He was being held Wednesday
on more than $1 million bail and
was expected to be charged on
Thursday.
The arrest culminated a sixmonth investigation involving the
Los Angeles Fire Department,
LAPD and the federal Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives, but officials would not
say what evidence led them to
Abdulwali.
Investigators believe he acted
alone and had no connection to
the complex that burned, said
Carlos A. Canino, special agent in
charge of the ATF Los Angeles
Field Division.
Abdulwali was renting a room
in South Los Angeles last year, his
landlord, Poleth Chavez, told the
Los Angeles Times. In December,
around the time of the fire, he
paid two months’ rent up front
and left, saying he was heading to
San Francisco.
Tropical depression forms
in Pacific; first of season
MIAMI (AP) — The first tropical
depression of the eastern Pacific
hurricane season has formed far
from Mexico’s coast.
The depression formed early
Thursday and has maximum sustained winds near 35 mph (55
kph). But the U.S. National
Hurricane Center says the
depression is expected to
strengthen to a tropical storm
later in the morning and could
become a hurricane by late
Friday.
The depression is centered
about 685 miles (1,105 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo,
Mexico, and is moving westnorthwest near 15 mph (24 kph).
The depression is not currently
threatening any land.
Georgia man pleads guilty to
seeking to join Islamic State
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Leon
Nathan Davis had a family and a
sales job — and says he left them
behind last fall with a one-way
ticket overseas and a plan to join
the Islamic State group.
The 37-year-old Augusta,
Georgia, man pleaded guilty
Wednesday in U.S. District Court
to a charge of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization. Davis faces up to
15 years in federal prison and a
fine of up to $250,000 when a
judge sentences him at a later
date.
During his 30-minute plea
hearing, Davis told a judge he
bought a one-way ticket to fly
from Atlanta to Turkey last
October.
“I was to be smuggled into
Syria and at that point in time
join ISIS,” said Davis, a stocky,
pale man with a shaved head.
What isn’t clear is why. Davis
never spoke about his motivations in court, and the judge
never asked about them. But
Davis did mention that he married within the past two years and
has a stepdaughter. Before his
arrest Oct. 24 while checking in
for his flight at Atlanta’s
Hartsfield-Jackson International
Airport, Davis said, he worked as
a salesman for a company that
sells mail-order medical supplements.
Davis’
defense
attorney,
Michael Loebl, declined to comment further after the plea hearing, as did prosecutors. A woman
who
answered
the
door
Wednesday evening at a listed
address for Davis’ mother
slammed the door shut when a
reporter introduced himself.
Davis is among several dozen
people charged in the past year
with trying to fight alongside the
Islamic State and other militants
or with lending them material
support. Federal charges against
him were filed Wednesday just
before his plea hearing.
9th arrest made in deaths
of 2 Mississippi police officers
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) —
Authorities say a ninth person
has been arrested in connection
with the shooting deaths of two
Mississippi police officers who
were killed during a traffic stop.
Spokesman Warren Strain with
the Mississippi Department of
Public Safety said in a statement
Wednesday night that 25-year-old
Brodrick Kendell Varnado of
Hattiesburg was arrested and
charged with accessory after the
fact of capital murder.
No further details about the
allegations against Varnado were
immediately available.
Strain says Varnado is being
held in Forrest County jail. It wasn’t clear if Varnado has a lawyer
who could comment on the
charge.
Police say 29-year-old Marvin
Banks shot Hattiesburg Police
Department patrolmen Benjamin
Deen and Liquori Tate on May 9
after Deen pulled over a speeding
car driven by Banks’ girlfriend.
The officers died at a hospital.
SkyWest flight diverts to Boise for
medical emergency
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A
SkyWest Airlines spokeswoman
says a flight from Eugene,
Oregon, to Denver that diverted to
Boise, Idaho, because of a medical emergency couldn’t resume
its journey because the plane
required an inspection.
The Canadair Regional Jet 700
landed in Boise at 7:30 a.m.
Wednesday. Airline spokeswoman
Marissa Snow says it had to be
inspected because it landed
“overweight” due to the fuel that
was still on board. She says the
inspection found no damage.
Snow says some of the 68 passengers were put on other flights.
The airline also dispatched another plane that was scheduled to
leave Boise on Wednesday
evening with the rest of Flight
6391’s passengers.
Snow says the passenger with
the medical problem was transported to a hospital. She declined
to provide additional information
about that person.
Tracy Morgan settles suit with
Wal-Mart over fatal crash
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Actorcomedian Tracy Morgan has settled his lawsuit against Wal-Mart
over a highway crash that killed
one man and left Morgan and two
friends seriously injured.
Morgan’s lawyer, Benedict
Morelli, said he and Walmart
worked diligently to reach the settlement for the plaintiffs and their
families.
“Walmart took full responsibility for the accident, which we
greatly appreciate,” he said
Wednesday in a statement.
In the same statement, Morgan
said Wal-Mart “did right by me
and my family, and for my associates and their families. I am
grateful that the case was
resolved amicably.”
Bentonville, Arkansas-based
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. called it an
“amicable settlement.”
A filing in federal court in
Newark referred to a confidential
settlement reached by the two
sides, and details weren’t disclosed.
A Wal-Mart truck slammed into
the back of a limo van carrying
Morgan and the others back from
a show in Delaware last June.
Comedian James “Jimmy Mack”
McNair was killed. Morgan suffered head trauma, a broken leg
and broken ribs and is still recovering.
Wal-Mart reached a settlement
with McNair’s two children in
January. McNair, of Peekskill,
New York, grew up with Morgan
in New York City and was a friend
and mentor to him over the years.
Wal-Mart had said earlier this
year it was working toward settlements with the victims of the
crash.
Wounded woman testifies in
Nevada about trespass killing
RENO, Nev. (AP) — A female
trespasser who survived a shooting in a vacant Nevada duplex
testified Wednesday that the
property owner entered the unit
and opened fire without provocation, wounding her three times
and killing a man on the floor
next to her.
Janai Wilson testified in
Washoe District Court in Reno
before prosecutors rested their
case against Wayne Burgarello on
charges of murder and attempted
murder.
Wilson broke into tears as she
recalled hearing at least six gunshots in the rundown rental unit
in Sparks while she huddled
beneath a comforter, fearing the
shooter would kill her, too.
“It seemed like just one after
another — bang, bang, bang,
bang,” Wilson said. “There was a
slight break, nothing very long,
but a slight pause in between.”
Burgarello, 74, has said he
fired in self-defense when he
killed 34-year-old Cody Devine
and seriously wounded Wilson on
Feb. 13, 2014.
Neither trespasser had a gun,
but Burgarello told police
Devine’s arm “came up like a
gun.” His defense attorney said
Burgarello may have mistaken a
black flashlight found at the
scene for a firearm.
Two
neighbors
testified
Wednesday that Burgarello told
them years earlier that he might
arm himself and wait for people
responsible for repeatedly vandalizing and burglarizing the vacant
duplex.
“He told me, ‘I’m going to be
waiting inside with a gun,’” Kevin
Morgan said.
The defense is scheduled to call
witnesses Thursday, with closing
arguments planned Friday in the
case that highlights Nevada’s
“stand your ground” law. It allows
deadly force against attackers
who pose an imminent threat,
regardless of whether they are
armed, but specifies the shooter
cannot be the initial aggressor.
Wilson, 30, said she met
Devine the night before the shooting at a casino. She said he
offered to give her a ride to pick
up a discarded table to take to the
abandoned duplex, where she
had lived off and on for three
years and was trying to establish
squatter’s rights by listing the
address on her driver’s license.
per day than the entire transit

or
Washington, D.C.
“This is the first time we’ve seen
vast private investment to
improve mass-transit access,”
said Mitchell Moss, a professor of
urban planning at New York
University.
The partnership could be a prototype for the future, allowing the
debt-burdened
Metropolitan
Transportation Authority, which
runs the city’s subway system
and commuter rails, to offload the
cost of improving its aging infrastructure onto private developers.
And it will transform the stodgy
East Midtown area, where the
average building is 75 years old
and saddled with outdated structural features such as interior
columns and low ceilings.
Anchored by tenant TD Bank,
the building is expected to house
about 8,000 workers when fully
occupied. It will join a parade of
new skyscrapers — many of them
in the west 50s near Central Park,
including the Nordstrom Tower
on 57th Street — that will soon
soar above Midtown Manhattan
and irrevocably alter the skyline.
DETROIT (AP) — Under pressure from U.S. safety regulators,
Ford is recalling nearly 423,000
cars and SUVs in North America
because the power-assisted
steering can fail while they’re
being driven.
The recall covers certain Ford
Flex and Taurus vehicles, as well
as the Lincoln MKS and MKT
from the 2011 through 2013
model years. Also covered are the
Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ
from 2011 through 2012 and
some 2011 Mercury Milans.
Ford says an intermittent electrical connection can cause the
power steering to stop. That
sends the steering into manual
mode, making the vehicles harder
to control. The company says it
knows of four crashes due to the
problem but no injuries.
Dealers will either update
power steering control software or
replace the steering gear depending on the problem with individual vehicles. A new steering gear
eliminates the electrical issue.
In October, the National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration began investigating complaints of power-steering
failures on three Ford Motor Co.
midsize car models. The probe
covered 938,000 Ford Fusion and
Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010
through 2012 model years, as
well as the 2010 and 2011
Mercury Milan.
According to a class-action
lawsuit filed in June about the
matter, the problem could affect
more Ford models, including the
compact Focus.
NHTSA said at the time that it
received 508 complaints alleging
that the cars lost power-assisted
steering, causing increased steering effort.
Ford said it was unsure if the
agency would close its investigation because of the recall. A message was left Wednesday for a
NHTSA spokeswoman.
The company also is recalling
19,500 2015 Mustangs with 2.3Liter engines due to high underbody temperatures that could
degrade the fuel tank and fuel
vapor lines, increasing the risk of
a fire. No fires have been reported. The heat also can damage the
parking brake cable. Dealers will
replace a heat shield and add
insulation.
Parents charged with murder in
death of malnourished child
PHOENIX (AP) — A suburban
Phoenix couple was formally
charged Wednesday in the death
of their 3-year-old daughter who
authorities said weighed just 15
pounds and had numerous
injuries when she died last weekend.
Carlos Cruz, 28, and Rosemary
Velazco, 36, now are each
accused of first-degree murder
and felony child abuse, according
to the Maricopa County attorney’s
office. The couple from Surprise
had previously been jailed only on
suspicion of one count of child
abuse.
Surprise police said the child
showed signs of being beaten and
sexually abused when she was
taken to a hospital and pronounced dead Saturday, a week
shy of her fourth birthday.
Neither Cruz nor Velazco has a
lawyer yet. But in a jailhouse
interview with a Phoenix TV station Tuesday, Cruz denied sexually and physically abusing his
daughter.
“I’m not guilty of what they’re
investigating,” Cruz told KTVK.
“My conscience is clean. ... She’s
my blood. She’s my daughter.”
The girl showed signs of
extreme malnourishment, had
injuries all over her body that
were in various stages of healing
and had a 1-inch cut on her forehead that exposed her skull,
police said.
Cruz said his daughter only
weighed 15 pounds “because she
ate very little.”
Arizona Department of Child
Safety officials said the girl was
removed from the home in 2011
when she and her mother tested
positive for amphetamines at her
birth.
Cruz and Velazco remain jailed
on bail of $500,000 apiece.
The couple’s 6-year-old son
and an infant are in foster care,
according to authorities. Cruz
said he hopes he can put the allegations behind him and regain
custody of the two children.
NYC approves skyscraper in
exchange for transit hub work
NEW YORK (AP) — City officials
cleared the way on Wednesday for
construction of a new, 65-story
Manhattan skyscraper after the
developer made an unusual
tradeoff: a promise to make
sweeping upgrades to nearby
Grand Central Terminal that
would allow more rush-hour
trains on the subway’s busiest
lines.
New York City Council members unanimously approved a
change to zoning law that will
allow One Vanderbilt to rise
alongside the historic transit hub.
In exchange for getting more
square footage, developer SL
Green Realty Corp. will invest
about $220 million in critical
improvements to Grand Central,
allowing more trains to run during rush hour on the clogged 4-56 lines, which carry more people

Pressure on Titans’ offensive
linemen to protect rookie QB
NASHVILLE (AP) — Nobody
faces more pressure to keep the
Titans’ new investment in quarterback Marcus Mariota safe
than Tennessee’s offensive linemen.
And it’s not like anyone will
let them forget that either.
Titans center Brian Schwenke
said know that they have to protect the quarterback, especially
when it’s a rookie and the No. 2
selection overall in the draft.
That’s something a player tucks
away in the back of his mind so
he can focus on playing hard.
“You hear more people talking
about it than you’re actually
thinking about it,” Schwenke
said Wednesday. “You hear
coaches, ‘We got a rookie back
there. You better block for him.’
I just personally go out there
and do my job.”
Protecting Mariota is only part
of the pressure facing a unit
that endured a slew of injuries
last season and will feature two
new tackles from a year ago.
Three starters wound up on
injured reserve, forcing the
Titans to play seven different
tackles while going 2-14.
“We need more stability with
the whole group, more consistent play with the whole group,”
coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “As
an offensive line, we had too
many breakdowns.”
Changing lineups led to miscommunication.
Starting only five linemen for
16 games together is what
coaches hope they can do each
season. Tennessee didn’t get
that chance, instead starting 10
different players at least three
games each on the offensive
line. Six of those were at left and
right tackle combined.
Left tackle Michael Roos, who
retired in February, started only
five games before a knee injury
ended his season. Schwenke
started the first 11 games before
a knee injury put him on injured
reserve. Right tackle Michael
Oher started 11 games before a
toe injury put him on injured
reserve, and the Titans cut him
in February despite three years
left on his contract.
Taylor Lewan, the 11th draft
selection overall in 2014,
replaced Roos and started six
games before an injured left
ankle kept him out the final five
weeks. Will Svitek had three
starts at left tackle, Jamon
Meredith started once at right
tackle and twice at left tackle,
and Byron Stingily had four
starts at right tackle.
Terren Jones even played in a
game five days after being
signed last December.
So the Titans tried to revamp
the unit this offseason. They
signed veteran Byron Bell giving
him the first chance at right
tackle this offseason and drafted
Jeremiah Poutasi in the third
round out of Utah. Center Andy
Gallik was a sixth-round pick
out
of
Boston
College.
Whisenhunt says Poutasi and
Meredith will get a chance to
show what they can do at right
tackle as well.

pitcher Zack Greinke in the third inning Wednesday, in Los Angeles.
Maybin, Simmons help
Braves avoid L.A. sweep
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Atlanta Braves
were eager to avoid a sweep at the hands of the
Los Angeles Dodgers.
With a few timely hits and contributions
from a wide cast of characters, the Braves
managed to do just that.
Andrelton Simmons had two hits and scored
the go-ahead run on Adam Liberatore’s wild
pitch in the eighth inning, Cameron Maybin
homered to continue his hot month and the
Braves beat the Dodgers 3-2 on Wednesday
night to avoid a three-game sweep.
“It’s a huge win,” Maybin said. “Those guys
are playing great baseball this month. To leave
here getting a win, we got to be excited about
it. It was a good team win and it was a good
way to finish up.”
With the game tied 1-1, Simmons led off the
eighth with a single against Chris Hatcher (14) and, after making his way to third base,
came home when Liberatore uncorked a wild
pitch over the head of catcher A.J. Ellis with
two outs.
Maybin had two hits to raise his average to
.306 in May and Nick Markakis added an RBI
double in the eighth that proved to be the winning margin for the Braves (23-23). Juan Uribe
went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts in his Atlanta
debut.
Alex Wood (3-2) gave up one run in seven
innings for the win and Jason Grilli pitched
around an Alex Guerrero homer in the ninth
for his 14th save.
It was just the seventh loss for the Dodgers
(28-18) in 28 home games.
“It was a good ballgame, a nice pitching performance all around,” Braves manager Fredi
Gonzalez said. “It was nice to get one here in

BERN, Switzerland (AP) — For
months, American and Swiss
investigators worked in secret to
prepare for the raids that would
shake the soccer world.
They knew that the moment to
strike would come when FIFA,
the sport’s governing body, held
its annual congress in Zurich,
gathering all of its top officials —
including the main suspects in a
far-reaching U.S. corruption
probe.
Any leak could have given the
game away, allowing international soccer officials to scramble out
of Switzerland or time to destroy
important
evidence
before
authorities could seize it.
“It was a months-long planning. It was quite intense to try
to find out what is the best
moment,”
Andre
Marty,
spokesman for the Swiss attorney general’s office, told The
Associated
Press
late
Wednesday, hours after the
raids. “It was exactly today that
most of the people of interest to
the U.S. investigation and to the
Swiss investigation are still in
Switzerland.”
The dual investigations have
shaken FIFA, which has been
dogged by corruption claims.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has
sought to manage the allegations, going so far as to file a
criminal complaint against
“unknown
persons”
last
November. That move followed
then-FIFA ethics prosecutor
Michael Garcia’s protest at how
FIFA handled his investigation
into wrongdoing during the votes
to host of the 2018 and 2022
World Cup — which went to
Russia and Qatar.
Marty insisted that FIFA
wasn’t tipped off that law
enforcement officials would
strike on Wednesday, conducting
dawn arrests at the luxury Baur
au Lac Hotel and raiding FIFA’s
Zurich headquarters to seize
electronic and paper documents.
“It was quite important to have
this coordination between the
arrests on the one side for the
American procedure, and the
other side to get into FIFA and
get all of the interesting data and
information that we are looking
for,” he said.

Freeman makes opening bid
to be Falcons’ starting RB
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP)
— Devonta Freeman believes he
is next in line to be the Falcons’
starting running back.
He has made an early statement that he won’t be outworked for the job.
The team released veteran
Steven Jackson, the starter the
last two years. Backup Jacquizz
Rodgers signed with the Bears.
Freeman is the leading
returning rusher with 248 yards
and one touchdown as a rookie.
Following the Falcons’ first
day of organized team activities,
new coach Dan Quinn said “I
love the competitive attitude
that Devonta brings.”
Freeman said he worked
through the offseason to be
ready for this opportunity.
Quinn has noticed.
“To me, having the best offseason you’ve ever had, he’s one
of the guys who is like ‘Here
coach, I’m ready,’” Quinn said.
“He wanted to be the first at
doing everything. That told you
the competitor he is.”
The first at everything?
That includes being the first
back to take a handoff from
Matt Ryan.
Atlanta drafted running back
Tevin Coleman from Indiana in
the third round. Only minutes
after being drafted, Coleman
said “I’m going to come in there
and I’m going to get the starting
spot.”
Coleman also said “whoever is
in the starting spot, they’re
going to have to work because
I’m coming in there and working
right away.”
Too late. Freeman already
was working to protect his place
in line as the leading returning
rusher.
“I take a lot of pride in that,”
Freeman said. “This means a lot

Atlanta Hawks point to a bright future, even after playoff rout by Cavaliers

Mozgov in Tuesday night’s game
in Cleveland.
ATLANTA (AP) — The season didn’t end
like they wanted.
Not even close.
But, despite the sting of a humiliating
playoff defeat, the Atlanta Hawks seem
closer than ever to winning a championship.
“We grew up faster than we thought,”
forward DeMarre Carroll said, looking for
the bright side after getting swept by
LeBron James and the Cleveland
Cavaliers.
The Hawks went farther than anyone
expected this season. They won 60
games for the first time in franchise history and claimed top seed in the Eastern
Conference. They set another team
record by winning 19 in a row. They
became the first team in NBA history to
go 17-0 in a calendar month. They had
four players selected for the All-Star
Game, not to mention Mike Budenholzer
earning Coach of the Year honors. They
won two playoff series for the first time
since moving to Atlanta in 1968 to reach
the conference final.
That’s where Atlanta’s season came to
a crashing halt. The Hawks were completely overwhelmed by James and the
Cavaliers, who finished off the series
with a 118-88 blowout in Game 4
Tuesday night.
“It’s clear that we have some work to
do as a team,” center Al Horford said.
“We will all learn from this process and I
know it will make us a better team. We
have a group that’s resilient. We have a
group with a lot of high-character guys,
guys that I’m willing to go to war with
any day.”
The Hawks’ season was even more
remarkable given what happened last
summer.
Owner Bruce Levenson conceded writing an email that complained about the
racial makeup of the fan base, forcing
him to put the team up for sale. As it
turned out, the email was discovered
during an investigation of racially
charged comments by general manager
Danny Ferry during a conference call
with the owners.
Ferry, the architect of the team’s turnaround, wound up taking a leave of
absence that lasted all season. Early in
the playoffs, the Hawks announced a
deal to sell the team to a group led by
Antony Ressler for $850 million. Ferry’s
future will be determined by the new
owners once they are approved by the
NBA, which is expected to happen
around mid-June.
Whether Ferry returns as GM or
Ressler’s group decides to go a different
route, the Hawks have some major decisions this summer. The first priority is
finding room within the salary cap to resign free-agents-to-be Carroll and twotime All-Star forward Paul Millsap.
Both came to Atlanta in 2013 with
bargain-rate deals (Millsap signed for two
years at $19 million; Carroll got a two-
year, $5 million contract). Both far
exceeded expectations over the last two
years and will surely get hefty raises, giving the Hawks a lot less flexibility within
the cap.
“Looking at different options, looking
at this team, looking at what we’ve built
thus far, I’m weighing my options,”
Millsap said. “But we’re family. This
team is close, and it will play a lot into
the decision.”
Carroll, who bounced around to four
teams his first four years in the NBA and
even did a stint in the D-League, really
blossomed after coming to Atlanta. He
lived up to his reputation as a high-energy, defensive-minded player, but also
made huge improvement at the offensive
end.
Carroll made it clear he wants to
return to Atlanta if the price is right.
“Since we know how it feels to get here,

BLeAchers hAve been installed for golf fans attending the Northwest’s first U.S. Open, at
Chambers Bay in University Place, Wash. The 5,000-plus volunteers who’ll work at the event next
month will be coming from 45 states and 10 countries. About 80 percent are Washington residents.
U.S. Open is the most
democratic of majors
DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
The names of golf’s two oldest
championships are similar, and
so are the concepts.
The British Open and the U.S.
Open are open to anyone who
wants to qualify. The difference
between them, other than the 35
years of history and the turf on
which golf is played, was evident
Monday when the final exemptions were awarded through the
world ranking.
The U.S. Open took the top 60
in the world who were not
already eligible, adding 24 players to the field at Chambers Bay
in three weeks. That brought the
number to 74 players who do not
have to qualify, and it brought a
smile to the face of the USGA.
For the ninth straight year, at
least half of the 156-man field
will have to qualify for the right
to play in the U.S. Open. That
includes seven players who
earned over $2 million on the
PGA Tour last season, and three
players who already have cleared
$2 million this year. It includes
Thomas Bjorn, who was in the
Ryder Cup last September.
It’s not easy to get into the
major known as the toughest test
in golf.
It’s not unreasonable, either.
U.S. Open champions are
exempt for 10 years. The Masters
and PGA Championship give
their winners a lifetime pass.
British Open champions can
play until they’re 60.
Winners of the other three
majors get a five-year exemption
to the U.S. Open, while The
Players Championship winner
gets three years. The top 10 and
ties from the previous U.S. Open
don’t have to qualify, nor do the
30 players who make it the Tour
Championship.
Everyone else — except for
amateurs and the Senior U.S.
Open champion — has to qualify
if they’re not among the top 60 in
the world. There is one more cutoff for the top 60 the week of the
U.S. Open, though no more than
two players typically get through.
Monday also was the cutoff for
the British Open.
It took the top 50 in the world
who were not already eligible
from a long list of criteria that
recognizes the quality of golf
being played around the world.
That’s how it should be. The
proper name of golf’s oldest event
is “The Open Championship.” It
is the most global of majors,
which is why the winner of the
claret jug is introduced on the
18th green as the champion
golfer of the year.
But it’s not as open as it used
to be.
The Open has similar exemptions for major champions, and it
recognizes its European roots by
giving a three-year pass to the
BMW PGA Championship winner
and to the top 30 from the Race
to Dubai.
It also takes the money winner
from tours in Australia, Asia and
South Africa, and the top two
from the money list in Japan.
The list goes on.
Five more PGA Tour players
can get in through the FedEx
Cup standings a week after the
U.S. Open. Two more from the
Japan Golf Tour can get in
through a special money list.
There’s a spot for the Japan
Open champion, and for everyone on the last Ryder Cup team
(that covers Bjorn).
There’s still room for qualifying
— as many as 44 spots, or
roughly 28 percent of the field.
All but 12 of those are in the
“Open Qualifying Series.” Those
are part of an existing event,
such as the Irish Open this week
or the Greenbrier Classic next
month. The top three or four
players, provided they finish no
worse than 12th in the tournament, get into the British Open if
they haven’t already qualified.
R&A chief Peter Dawson said
last year that it effectively is a
72-hole qualifier, which would
seem to be a more rigorous test,
just like 36 holes is a better
measure than 18. Except that
players don’t set out to get into
the Open. They’re trying to win a
tournament.
It’s different when its 36 holes
against a field of players with the
same objective. That’s where
golf’s oldest championship loses
some of its romance.
That’s what the U.S. Open gets
right.
Joe Ogilvie is an interesting
case study. He retired last year,
but not before making it through
U.S. Open qualifying three
straight years. A year ago, he
missed three straight cuts and
then tied for third in the qualifier.
In 2013, he missed eight cuts
and finished no higher than 46th
in two other events. And then he
finished fourth in the qualifier.
He had the same bad form and
same good result in 2012.
Think he would have stood a
chance in the British Open qualifying system?
“I treated qualifiers differently,” Ogilvie said. “There was no
scoreboard watching. I played
the golf course. I didn’t try to
win. I didn’t try to shoot 62. Just
keep the ball in front of me, take
all the big numbers out and go
from there. Admittedly, if I treated my career like that I would
have gone better.”
Luke Donald is not eligible for
the U.S. Open or British Open for
the first time in a decade.
Depending on how he fares at the
Irish Open this week, he will play
a 36-hole qualifier on June 8
against a field of players not eligible for the U.S. Open. His odds
are probably better than the
British qualifying system, especially considering it has been
three months since he last finished better than 15th.
Manning adjusting to new offense in Denver
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) —
Shortly after the Denver
Broncos received new orange Tshirts reading “Keep Your Feet,”
the most expensive ones on the
field got tangled.
When Peyton Manning took
the snap and turned to hand
off, the quarterback and the
football both hit the turf.
Manning is getting used to
being under center again as he
adapts to coach Gary Kubiak’s
run-oriented,
play-action
offense with all its rollouts,
handoffs and mobile pockets.
As for the fall, “I don’t
remember that happening,”
Manning feigned through a
mischievous grin Wednesday,
saying video director Steve
Boxer had already erased the
evidence.
“That’s the advantage of
being tight with your video
guys,” Manning said.
Kubiak had a hard time getting the image out of his mind.
“The one thing the league
always wants you to do is keep
players off the ground. So, we
preach it, we preach it, we give
out T-shirts today saying ‘Keep
Your Feet’ — he’s the first one
to hit the ground,” Kubiak said.
“So, yeah, we’re giving him a
hard time.”
Manning, who has been
much more comfortable operating from the shotgun late in his
career, is coming up to the line
of scrimmage on almost all of
his snaps right now.
“We know the other end of
the stick is fine. It’s something
he’s been doing forever,”
AP photo
Denver Broncos quArterBAck Peyton Manning throws
during drills at an organized team activity Wednesday in
Englewood, Colo.
Kubiak said. “So, we’re going to
spend a lot of time under center
initially. ... He’s been very
responsive and he’s working
extremely hard.”
After what he called the
Broncos’ “first real day of practice in shoulder pads,”
Manning said he’s eager to
smooth out the roughness in
this new hybrid offense, saying,
“I feel I can do whatever they
ask me to do.”
Manning ended 2014 on a
down note, affected by both a
thigh injury and the old coaching staff’s wholesale shift at
midseason in both his pocket of
protection and run/pass ratio.
As he contemplated his
future over the winter, pundits
said Manning’s arm strength
wasn’t what it used to be.
He looked strong and sharp
Wednesday, whistling throws
whether short, medium or long.
He looked quick on his feet, too
— save for the one tumble —
and also appears to be in top
condition, especially at 39.
Strength and conditioning
coach Luke Richesson recently
mentioned at a clinic that
Manning was hitting personal
bests in all his weightlifting
numbers, high praise that
quickly found its way through
Twitter.
Conventional wisdom suggests that quarterbacks are
more cozy in the shotgun
because they don’t have to take
their eyes off the pass rush,
have more time to react and
can more easily decipher
defenses.
Not necessarily, Manning
said.

Cleveland Daily Banner—Thursday, May 28, 2015—13
Warriors eliminate Rockets, end 40-year Finals drought
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — After a
generation of wishing and waiting, the Golden State Warriors
have finally arrived on basketball’s biggest stage again.
Stephen Curry had 26 points
and eight rebounds, Harrison
Barnes added 24 points and the
Warriors advanced to the NBA
Finals for the first time in 40
years with a 104-90 victory over
the Houston Rockets on
Wednesday night.
“Why not us?” Curry said to a
roaring, golden-yellow shirt wearing crowd after the Warriors
received the Western Conference
trophy from Alvin Attles, the
coach of their last championship
team in 1975.
“The Bay Area’s been waiting
for 40 years,” Curry said later. “I
think it’s time.”
The Warriors shook off a slow
start and sweated out a shaky
finish in Game 5 to close out the
Rockets and set up a matchup
with LeBron James and the
Cleveland Cavaliers beginning
June 4.
It was hardly the prettiest performance — but one they’ll savor
nonetheless.
Yellow streams and confetti fell
from the rafters when the final
buzzer sounded. The Warriors
shared hugs and handshakes,
and the crowd chanted “M-V-P!”
for Curry.
He relished the moment on the
court with his 2-year-old daughter, Riley, who joined him in his
postgame news conference —
laughing, playfully interrupting
him and walking around the
room again.
“I think she’s taking advantage
of the moment for sure,” Curry
quipped.
Dwight Howard led Houston
with 18 points and 16 rebounds.
But MVP runner-up James
Harden had a forgettable finale,
with a playoff-record 13
turnovers and 14 points on 2-of11 shooting.
“Tried to do a little bit too
much and turned the ball over
and gave them easy baskets in
transition,” Harden said. “This
isn’t where we wanted to end at.
It’s a really good season for us.
Next year we want to be better,
and we will.”
It was a tough way for the
Rockets’ run to end. They overcame a knee injury that sidelined
Howard half the season to finish
second in the West, played without starters Patrick Beverley and
Donatas Motiejunas in the playoffs and rallied from a 3-1 deficit
to beat the Los Angeles Clippers
in the second round.
The Warriors were one obstacle
Houston couldn’t clear.
“The guys fought hard,”
Rockets coach Kevin McHale
said. “One thing about the team
is that they were battlers, and a
lot of guys in that room you feel
pretty comfortable going to war
with.”
Curry said he had no lingering
effects from his frightening fall in
Game 4 that left him with a
bruised head and right side. The
MVP wore a protective yellow
sleeve on his right arm, which he
shed in the third quarter after
shooting 4 for 12 and the
Warriors clinging to a 52-46 half-
time lead.

Maybin’s solo homer in the
third opened the scoring, but
Dodger starter Zack Greinke
settled into a groove immediately after and came away with a
no-decision.
Greinke retired 11 straight
after Maybin’s homer, six via
strikeout, before giving way to
Yimi Garcia in the top of the seventh. He finished with three hits
and one run allowed, two walks
and nine strikeouts.
Greinke also legged out an
infield single and stole a base,
the fourth steal in his 12-year
career.
“The last three or four games I
actually feel like I’ve been doing
a little worse,” Greinke said.
“There were some situations
where I didn’t execute.”
The Dodgers tied it in the
fourth when Justin Turner’s
grounder to the right side
bounced off the glove of diving
second baseman Jace Peterson
in shallow right field, allowing
Jimmy Rollins to score from second.
That was all they’d manage off
Braves lefty Wood. He gave up
seven hits, walked two and
struck out six.
“Mechanically and in terms of
all my stuff it was no doubt the
best I’ve been,” Wood said. “Now
it’s just about going out my next
start and repeating it.”
Liberatore entered with one
out and runners on the corners
in the eighth and, after inducing
Maybin to fly out, let fly the wild

Lacob and co-owner Peter
Guber, sitting courtside next to
rapper Kanye West, have turned
the franchise into a contender
since they bought the team in
2010. General manager Bob
Myers, the NBA Executive of the
Year, has constructed a talented
roster around Curry that has
exceeded all expectations. And
first-year coach Kerr blended it
all together beautifully after
Mark Jackson’s messy firing last
May.
“I always think of Pat Riley’s
great quote when you’re coaching
in the NBA, ‘There’s winning and
there’s misery.’ And he’s right,”
Kerr said. “It’s more than relief.
It’s joy. Our players are feeling it.
I know our fans are.”
Jackson watched the celebration from the ESPN table at center court, saying on the broadcast
he was proud.
The Warriors rolled to a franchise-record 67 wins in the regular season and had little trouble
dispatching
New
Orleans,
Memphis and Houston in the
playoffs. Now they’re in the finals
for the first time since winning
the title in 1975 behind Rick
Barry and coach Attles, who
enjoyed the game sitting in his
usual spot at the top of the
arena’s lower bowl.
The Warriors and Cavaliers
split two games this season, with
each winning on its home floor.
James sat out Golden State’s
112-94 win on Jan. 9 in Oakland,
and he scored a season-high 42
points in the Cavs’ 110-99 win in
Cleveland on Feb. 26.

For their part, Swiss prosecutors decided to act after the

minute before walking to the
locker room. He came back to the
bench after receiving stitches on
his right ear.
The Warriors initially said
Thompson could’ve returned
after passing a concussion test.
The team said he began not feeling well after the game and started to show concussion-like
symptoms. He will continue to be
evaluated.
The Warriors did just fine without him, starting the fourth on a
13-4 run and holding off
Houston’s last-ditch efforts on
free throws.
Barnes highlighted the decisive
spurt with a dunk that gave
Golden State an 87-72 lead with
7:10 remaining. He flexed his
muscles to the sellout crowd of
19,596, which spent the final
quarter on its feet in anticipation
of a long-awaited celebration.
Now it’s LeBron vs. Curry.
King James vs. the Baby-Faced
Assassin.
The four-time NBA MVP vs. the
newly crowned MVP.
The hype has already started
for two of the most popular and
entertaining players in the world
to take center stage for the championship, and it has a week to
build even more before starting at
rowdy Oracle Arena.
“I can’t wait for June 4,” smiling Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob
said in the locker room.
The conference title is the
biggest accomplishment yet in
what has been a rapid rise for a
Warriors team that is beloved in
the basketball-united Bay Area
obtained in recent months.
“This led to the fact that we
were convinced that we have to
proceed with these criminal procedures,” he told the AP.
Prosecutors planned on
Thursday to interview 10 members of the FIFA executive committee who were already members in 2010, when the vote on
who was to host the 2018 and
2022 World Cups occurred, he
said. Marty declined to name
them, but a review of the FIFA

“I didn’t really take a break,”
he said. “I went hard. ... I just

Quinn said he knew Freeman
had “terrific hands” when he was
drafted out of Florida State.
“Now to add what he is doing
in the run game, I can’t wait to
watch him work,” Quinn said.
“He doesn’t back down from anything. That’s one of the things I

Unlike their U.S. counterparts, Swiss prosecutors aren’t
yet investigating the possibility
of bribery in the allocation of the
2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Instead, their probe — dubbed
‘Darwin’ — is examining
whether members of the executive committee acted in the best
interest of FIFA.
Blatter isn’t one of those
under investigation in the Swiss
probe, Marty said.
“As we are speaking Mr. Sepp
Blatter is neither under investigation nor is he one of the persons we would like to talk to
tomorrow,” he said. But he
added that this could change.
Switzerland has been trying in
recent years to shed its reputation as a location for secret
financial dealings; for example,
it now cooperates with other
countries investigating alleged
tax cheats suspected of hiding
money in Swiss accounts.
“Be assured that the office of
the attorney general won’t hesitate to investigate (anyone),”
said Marty.
“With these criminal procedures we are trying to underline
the efforts of the Swiss authorities in the fight against corruption — international corruption
even — and money laundering,”
he said.

Whisenhunt said Levitre has

Schwenke also says he’s
healthy, and he’s wearing a

he stays that way after having
someone roll up on his knee last

“It’s worth it just to stay on

Schwenke said.

Stephen Curry and LeBron
James, this season’s brightest
stars taking basketball’s
biggest stage.
The NBA Finals start June 4
with the Golden State Warriors
against
the
Cleveland
Cavaliers, two teams who have
little experience playing this
time of year.
James does, getting ready to
appear in his fifth straight
finals. He won two titles in
Miami before coming back
home to Ohio, and now Curry
wants what the four-time MVP
has.
“He’s been here plenty of
times before, five straight
finals appearances, I think, so
we’ve got to bring our A game if
we’re going to beat a great
team and a great player like
that four times,” Curry said.
“We’re excited about the challenge. He had to win his first
one at some point, and nobody
on our team has experienced
that, so we’re going to be fighting like crazy every night.”
Not for a while, though.
Both teams were so good in the
conference finals that they
won too fast, the Cavaliers finishing a sweep of top-seeded
Atlanta in the East on Tuesday
and the Warriors completing
their five-game victory over
Houston a night later.
The lengthy layoff will benefit banged-up players on both
teams, and provide plenty of
time to hype the Curry-James
duel.
They started in the same
place, born in the same Akron,
Ohio hospital, but couldn’t
have been more different upon
arriving in the NBA. James
was the can’t-miss Chosen
One taken with the top pick in
the 2003 draft, a perfect 6-for8 combination of size and
speed.
Curry had the sweet shot
but a small stature, considered by many not big enough
for NBA super stardom when
he was drafted out of Davidson
in 2009. Yet he put together a
season-long highlight package
this season with his brilliant
ballhandling and smooth
stroke and was voted MVP, finishing two spots ahead of
James.
Curry averaged 31.2 points
and shot nearly 50 percent
from 3-point range in the West
finals, while James nearly
averaged a triple-double in the
Cavs’ four-game romp.
The Warriors have homecourt advantage after winning
a league-best 67 games. But
the Cavaliers, despite a difficult start to the season and
the loss of Kevin Love, have
been even better in the postseason, with a 12-2 record.
“No matter what happens
from here on out, to see what
we’ve accomplished being a
first-year team together that’s
had
different
changes
throughout the course of the
season, that’s faced so many
obstacles throughout the sea-

finals against Houston in
Oakland, Calif., Wednesday.
son — injuries here, transactions here, lineups here — it’s
something we can be very
proud of to this point,” James
said.
This will be his second crack
at trying to help the Cavs win
their first title. They got there
in 2007 but were swept by San
Antonio. The Warriors are
seeking their first championship since 1975.
Here are some things to
watch in the finals:
New kids on the block: The
Warriors’ Steve Kerr and the
Cavaliers’ David Blatt — who
nearly signed on to work under
Kerr before getting the
Cleveland job — make this the
first time since the league’s
first championship series that
both coaches are rookies.
No place like home: Golden
State is 46-3 at Oracle Arena
this season. The Cavaliers
have become just as unbeatable on their home floor, winning 26 of their last 28 games
at Quicken Loans Arena,
including 18 by double digits.
Sore stars: Kyrie Irving has
been MVP of the All-Star Game
and the Basketball World Cup
— where he started in the U.S.
backcourt alongside Curry.
Now he gets his chance in the
NBA Finals, with plenty of time
to rest the knee and foot
injuries that caused him to
miss two games in the conference finals. The time off will
also benefit fellow All-Star and
world
champion
Klay
Thompson, who began experiencing concussion symptoms
after being kneed in the head
in the series clincher against
Houston and will have to pass
the league’s concussion protocol before returning to action.
Containing the king:
Kawhi Leonard turned in a
solid defensive effort against
James last year when San
Antonio beat Miami. Among
the options for the Warriors
against James is Draymond
Green, the runner-up to
Leonard this season for
Defensive Player of the Year.

Patriotic ‘Spirit’ is alive and well in Cleveland
Some day soon, pause and read a
name or two on the War Memorial
Monuments at the Bradley County
Courthouse Plaza in downtown
Cleveland.
Some of the names may already be
familiar to you. Those names represent stories of bravery shown by people from our community who made
the ultimate sacrifice for us all.
Last Monday, many of us gathered
at the Courthouse Plaza to remember
those heroes. The names, from World
War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam
and Iraq echoed through our city once
again, as they should each year on
Memorial Day.
The number of young people either
attending or participating in this
annual event is especially encouraging. The U.S. Naval Sea Cadets presented the colors. Drummers and
OUR CITY
Cleveland
Mayor
Tom
Rowland
buglers from the Cleveland High
School Band provided the musical
inspiration. Several days earlier Boy
Scouts placed American flags at each
grave in the veterans section of Fort
Hill Cemetery.
The presence of our youth at events
like this is a good indication for our
nation's future.
The ladies of the Aldersgate Garden
Club read the names of our fallen. It
was my honor to read aloud the
names of our veterans on the Last Roll
Call — names of those who passed
away since the last Memorial Day.
Our congratulations go to Robert
Lee Goins, recipient of this year's Bill
Norwood Veterans Service Award. He
was recognized for his tireless maintenance work at the veterans section at
the cemetery.
The award was presented by the
Southeast Tennessee Veterans Home
Council. The award pays tribute to
Bill Norwood, one of our hometown
heroes who was a prisoner of war.
Today, he and his wife, Liz, devote
their lives to helping other veterans
and their families. It is an award honoring a great man and this year was
given to one who values our veterans
and assures their gravesites are maintained and respected.
A survey made several years ago for
the Cleveland City Council indicated
there are thousands of veterans who
live in or near our city. Many of our
sons and daughters are serving our
country this day. The Spirit of ’76 is
certainly alive and well in “The City
With Spirit.”
This is one reason why our community continues to plan for the day we
will have a veterans home here to
serve Southeast Tennessee. A sign is
now in place at the location on
Westland Drive off APD 40 announcing
the future home for veterans. Last
month, the Southeast Tennessee
Veterans Home Council was shown an
architect's conceptual drawing of how
the home will look.
The land has been donated and
local funds have been committed.
When federal funds become available,
we will be able to make this community dream come true.
One request I made this year is to
ask that people consider contributing
to and supporting the Wounded
Warrior Project. Watching the National
Memorial Day Observance over the
weekend, held at the nation’s Capitol,
reminded me how important this project is.
There are so many families who suffer because veterans came home with
disabilities that changed their lives
forever. We should never forget these
veterans as they struggle from day to
day due to their injuries. The
Wounded Warrior Project is well worth
our support. Learn more about it at
www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
It is an honor to be part of a community that continues to honor our
veterans, both past and present. And
Cleveland does this in the true “Spirit”
of patriotism.

Adolescents need five
skills for more success
T
eenagers spend a good
chunk of their learning
time immersed in such
subjects as algebra, history,
biology and geography.
But the march toward a successful and satisfying adulthood
involves more than the ability to
add numbers or read and analyze
complex material.
Equally vital are skills that help
young people develop character
and give them the courage and
fortitude to deal with the many
challenges life will throw at them.
During the physical, emotional
and intellectual explosions of the
adolescent years, it’s critical that
teenagers develop a belief in their
own ability to succeed. People
who truly believe they can perform well are more likely to view
difficult tasks as something to be
mastered rather than something
to be avoided.
Skills and values that help lead
adolescents to a more satisfying
life can range from respecting
their parents to understanding
that making mistakes is part of
life. Here are just five of the many
skills that can make a difference.
1. Learn to listen. The willingness to listen is a direct reflection
of how much we value each
other, and being listened to
reduces stress. Nothing teaches
young people more about how to
become good listeners than having a mentor or other adult who
consistently and intently listens to
them. The ability to listen with
intention and compassion creates
and enhances qualities like
curiosity, empathy and altruism.
2. Understand and manage
stress. It’s essential that young
people understand the role stress
plays in their lives and the difference between healthy and
unhealthy outlets for handling
that stress. Healthy outlets for
stress include exercise, talking,
creative pursuits and venting
anger through words and exercise in safe environments.
Unhealthy outlets include withdrawing and bottling up feelings,
overeating or restricting food, violent behavior, relying on passive
activities like TV and video
games, alcohol and drug use,
premature sexual activity and
blaming others.
3. Embrace anger. Young people (and perhaps adults as well)
who want to achieve success
often try to keep a lid on negative
emotions. For inner-city students,
that instinct is especially understandable, because acting on
angry impulses raises the risk of
getting hurt in the neighborhood
or can be a threat to fragile relationships at home. Yet, having
worked as a psychiatric nurse, I
have seen despondent patients
find relief when they are given
permission to appropriately vent
their anger and frustration. They
consistently feel better when their
mentors help them talk about
rather than swallow their frustrations.
4. Reject the victim mentality.
Many young people struggle at
times with feeling like victims.
That especially can be the case
for those growing up in poverty. In
truth, they often are victimized.
They may live in a dangerous
neighborhood
with
highly
stressed and single-parent families, and every day they are confronted with the harsh realities of
poverty. The challenge is for
young people to separate their
experience of literally being a victim from the tendency to develop
a victim mentality. They can’t control the former, but they can control the latter.
5. Value humor. Adolescents
are turned off by sarcasm from
adults, but they have a great
appreciation for humor. If a mentor and a student can start poking
fun at each other, the friendly
teasing can lead to a closer and
more trusting relationship.
Learning to laugh at oneself is an
important skill for us all.

North Carolina unemployment
rate up to 5.5 percent in April
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A continuing stream of sidelined workers who have resumed looking for
jobs caused North Carolina’s
unemployment rate to tick up to
5.5 percent in April.
It marked the first time in 11
months that the state’s jobless
rate was higher than the national average, the state Commerce
Department
reported
Wednesday.
The North Carolina rate rose to
5.5 percent in April from 5.4 percent in March. The national average dropped by an identical
amount to April’s 5.4 percent.
The last time the national jobless
average was lower than North
Carolina’s mark was June.
Between March and April, an
additional 25,712 people joined
North Carolina’s workforce and
nearly 7,500 said they were looking for jobs, the report said.
Those two groups — the number
of people who have jobs and
those who say they are looking —
are described as the overall labor
“People are coming
back into the labor force
after being discouraged.
That unemployment is
rising is an indication of
people newly back in the
job market and still
looking for work. I
interpret that in a
positive way.”

force.
North Carolina’s labor force
rose by 65,000 between February
and April while the entire country
grew by about 70,000 in that
period, said Patrick Conway,
chairman of the economics
department at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The rapid growth in the number
of people looking for work caused
the small unemployment rate rise
last month, he said.
“People are coming back into
the labor force after being discouraged,” Conway said. “That
unemployment is rising is an
indication of people newly back in
the job market and still looking
for work. I interpret that in a positive way.”
In the past year, the number of
North Carolina residents who
reported
being
employed
increased by more than 143,300.
That growth in jobs outstripped
labor force growth, causing the
state’s unemployment rate to fall
by 0.9 percent since April 2014.
But worrying elements of the
monthly report show up in the
estimates of jobs are being created, Conway said.
Leisure and hospitality jobs
like those in restaurants and
hotels have been among the big
gainers behind construction over
the past year. Manufacturing
jobs, which paid an average of
$16.86 an hour in April, declined
last month and have been among
the slow-growing sectors of North
Carolina’s economy.
TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Thursday, May 28, the
148th day of 2015. There are 217
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 28, 1945, the Evelyn
Waugh
novel
“Brideshead
Revisited” was published in
London, by Chapman & Hall.
On this date:
In 1533, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer,
declared the marriage of
England’s King Henry VIII to Anne
Boleyn valid.
In 1892, the Sierra Club was
organized in San Francisco.
In 1912, the Senate Commerce
Committee issued its report on
the Titanic disaster that cited a
“state of absolute unpreparedness,” improperly tested safety
equipment and an “indifference to
danger” as some of the causes of
an “unnecessary tragedy.”
In 1929, the first all-color talking picture, “On with the Show!”,
produced by Warner Bros.,
opened in New York.
In 1934, the Dionne quintuplets
— Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie

Dionne at the family farm in
Ontario, Canada.
In 1937, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt pushed a button in
Washington signaling that vehicular traffic could begin crossing the
just-opened Golden Gate Bridge in
California. Neville Chamberlain
became prime minister of Britain.
In 1940, during World War II,
the Belgian army surrendered to
invading German forces.
In 1959, the U.S. Army
launched Able, a rhesus monkey,
and Baker, a squirrel monkey,
aboard a Jupiter missile for a suborbital flight which both primates
survived.
In 1961, Amnesty International
had its beginnings with the publication of an article in the British
newspaper The Observer, “The
Forgotten Prisoners.”
In 1977, 165 people were killed
when fire raced through the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Resident
praises local
bank worker
To The Editor:
I would like to write this note of
“thanks” to my bank, and those
who work there. It is United
Community Bank.
I consider them “No. 1”
because they go every step of the
way to help you with your needs.
There is one outstanding person in particular. She is Detra
Lovelady and she is a customer
service representative.
She is one of the most profes-
sional persons I have ever met in
my life. She is there for her customers and she works to find any
possible way to help you.
She is very friendly, and when
customers come in they immediately become happier because
she has a knack for making them
feel that way.
Obviously, as you can tell, I’m
very happy with this bank and its
staff. They, like Detra, have a way
of making you feel special ... whoever you are!
I know Cleveland has many
great banks, but I just wanted to
write this about the one I use.
Thank you for this opportunity!

Dear Annie: My father was in
prison for my entire childhood. I
am now 23 and have managed to
build a good relationship with him
since he was released two years
ago.
Recently, Dad became very ill
and stopped breathing. He was on
life support for a week. Because I
am his closest relative, I am in
charge of his health care. I was
told the damage was too severe
and he would never recover. They
expect him to die within weeks.
When Dad woke up, I was given
the option of making him “comfortable” with medicine that would
eventually stop his breathing.
I want Dad to be happy in his
last days, so I asked him what he
wanted. He said he wanted to live
with me, so I brought him home,
and he is in hospice care. Now his
brothers are furious that I didn’t
put him in a nursing home. They
think he would get rehab there
and be able to live a normal life
again.
When my father was incarcerated, no one in his family made any
effort to be in my life. Dad told his
brothers that he is prepared to die
and wants to spend his last days
with his daughter and his grandchildren. Plus, a nursing home
won’t treat him if he refuses treatment, and it isn’t likely to help
him in any event. He suffered terrible brain damage when he
stopped breathing.
But, Annie, his brothers are
making my life terribly stressful. I
have tried to explain to them that
they can’t make him fight this
battle, and sadly, they cannot
fight it for him. I feel so overwhelmed. I am thinking of forcing
Dad to go to a nursing home so
his brothers will know he had
every chance. But if he dies there
(and he probably would), I will
hate myself for not letting him live
his remaining days the way he
wants. I don’t want to regret this
decision forever. What do I do? —
Your Happiness or His?
Dear Happiness: As long as
your father is capable of making
this decision, please respect him
enough to allow it. His brothers
feel helpless, and that is why they
are badgering you to put him in a
nursing home. We urge you to
have Dad’s doctors and someone
from hospice speak to your uncles
directly and explain the situation
so they will understand more
clearly what is at stake. Our condolences.
Dear Annie: May I add to the
comments on chewing gum during exercise class and sports
activities?
When I was a senior, in 1959, I
attended a high school facultysenior basketball game in front of
the entire student body. Our
wrestling coach ran up the court
and suddenly stopped and
dropped to his knees. Everyone,
including the other coaches,
thought he was having a heart
attack. He lay there and died.
I wrestled for four years under
his coaching. We later found out
he had been chewing gum and it
got stuck in his windpipe, and
that’s what killed him. It was one
of the saddest days in the school’s
history. True story. I can’t say it
more strongly: No gum chewing
during sports. — Still Sad

Lawyer: Confinement of chimps
for research akin to slavery
NEW YORK (AP) — A lawyer
seeking to free two chimpanzees
from a state university told a
judge Wednesday that their confinement for research purposes is
akin to slavery, the involuntary
detention of mentally ill people
and imprisonment.
Steven Wise, an attorney with
the Nonhuman Rights Project,
told Manhattan Supreme Court
Judge Barbara Jaffe in a nearly
two-hour hearing that Hercules
and Leo are “autonomous and
self-determining beings” who
should be granted a writ of
habeas corpus and be moved
from Stony Brook University on
Long Island to a sanctuary in
Florida.
“They’re essentially in solitary
confinement,” Wise told the judge
before a crowd of about 100 people packed into the Manhattan
courthouse’s ceremonial courtroom. “This is what we do to the
worst human criminal.”
The 8-year-old chimps, who
did not attend the hearing, are
used for locomotion studies at
Stony Brook.
Christopher Coulston, an
assistant state attorney general
representing the university,
argued that the case was meritless on procedural grounds
because the venue was improper
and because granting the chimps
personhood would create a slippery slope regarding the rights of
other animals.
Much of the proceeding
focused on centuries-old legal
principles including the social
contract, the writ of habeas corpus and the equal protection of
laws.
Wise repeatedly cited legal
decisions that granted the writ of
habeas corpus to groups historically denied it — including to
Native Americans and blacks
during the 1800s.
Coulston said that it was
improper for a court to decide
whether the animals are entitled
to a writ of habeas corpus and
that doing so would be unprecedented, telling Jaffe it is up to the
legislature to define personhood
in this case.
“The reality is these are fundamentally different species,” he
said. “There’s simply no precedent anywhere of an animal getting the same rights as a
human.”
He also argued that removing
the chimps from Stony Brook
and sending them to an island
sanctuary is essentially trading
one type of confinement for
another, further complicating the
law.
“They have no ability to partake in human society, the society that has developed these
rights,” he said.
Wise pointed to a hundred
pages of affidavits by legal and
scientific experts that he says
support his claim that chimpanzees are cognitively advanced
beings that — not unlike elephants, dolphins, bonobos and
orangutans — should be granted
personhood status under the law
in cases of confinement.
The rights project has filed
similar cases before. In October,
an attorney with the group
argued before a state appeals
court over Tommy, a 26-year-old
chimp in upstate Fulton County.
The court ruled against the
group.
Two other cases are pending in
state court.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE
Compelling questions ...
and maybe a few actual answers

3 questions we
had to ask — ourselves
NASCAR
CLEVELAND
TIRE CENTER
THINGS WE LEARNED
AT CHARLOTTE
YOUR
DEALER
4699 N. LEE HWY.
472-3396
Will this kick-start
Carl Edwards into
title contention?
ROB’S RAMBLINGS:
Title contention, no.
But wasn’t it kind of
cool to see that back
flip again?
KEN’S CALL: Fuelmileage victories don’t
kick-start anything,
except debates on the
worthiness of fuelmileage wins.
Associated Press/JOHN RAOUX
Will Mark Martin finally climb
into the Hall of Fame next year?
Gotta ask, is 600 miles too much?
Almost was for Denny Hamlin, who
drove the last 100 miles feeling like he
was gonna puke. As we ponder what
that’d be like if you were wearing a
full-faced racing helmet ... Ugh ... where
were we? Let’s move on.
Who’ll be next firsttime winner?
Shorter races?
ROB’S RAMBLINGS:
Truex is the obvious
answer with 11 top-10s
in 12 races, but rooting
for Jeff.
KEN’S CALL: It’s gotta
be Martin Truex, right?
Eventually, right?
Right?
This week they’re at Dover, where
races were shortened from 500 to 400
miles in the late-’90s. Even Pocono
was eventually convinced to lop off
100 miles. The coming years will likely
see plenty of changes, including race
lengths. At some places, less will be
more.
Will Jeff Gordon be
a good broadcaster?
Never too early. I really thought Mark
Martin and Rick Hendrick were going in
with last week’s voting, so that should
make them my two favorites for next
year. Make Benny Parsons the third
favorite.
Too early to handicap next HOF?
Associated Press/GERRY BROOME
3. Daddy Kyle is back
Carl Edwards snapped a 31race winless streak, even if
it was a fuel-mileage victory.
But he still has it when it
comes to his signature back
flip. Maybe this win could be
what jump-starts Edwards,
who has struggled this season
with just one top-10 and an
average finish of 18.8.
No matter how intense Denny
Hamlin’s migraine was Sunday, he leaves Charlotte loving the track and his car setup. After winning the All-Star
Race on May 16, he nearly
pulled off another win at the
track. If not for a vibration in
a wheel that forced him into
the pits late, he had a legitimate shot at the double.
There was some question
about Kyle Busch’s ability to
handle a 600-mile race after
a long layoff stemming from
a crash in the season-opening
Xfinity race at Daytona. The
new father — his son was
born May 18 — answered with
an 11th-place finish in his first
points race since returning.

DID YOU KNOW?
Jeff Gordon’s most recent Sprint Cup Series win
came in September at Dover, where he dominated.
He led the final 71 laps and was 4-plus seconds
ahead of runner-up Brad Keselowski at the end. It
was the 92nd win of Gordon’s career, and presumably not his last. We think.

Yes, two new Hall of Famers (Jerry
Cook, Bobby Isaac) received less than
50 percent of the vote, yet they’re Hall
of Famers. Yes, standards should be
higher. But remember, the Hall is a
business. Put more people in, potentially draw more paying customers.

Fairness: Lack of favoritism toward one side or another (Merriam-Webster Dictionary);
Without cheating or trying to achieve unjust advantage (Bing.com); Agreeing with what is
thought to be right or acceptable (i.word.com).
Fairness
A standard of excellence
Ocoee Middle School
Explanation Compilation
Following the rules ... Living up to a standard of excellence ... Being true to yourself and others ... To not pick
favorites ... Giving someone else or you another chance ...
Making an outcome even between yourself and others ...
Giving things more attention when deserved. Some things
aren’t always even or equal, but if you earn it then you
deserve it ... Good consequences for good choices and bad
consequences for bad choices is fair ... It’s hard, but fair, to
admit I did something wrong, even if someone else did it too
but didn’t get caught ... Every person is unique with different
talents and skills, but everyone should get an equal opportunity to do something special and be unique.
What! Jack gets a new bed! I want one too!
Have you looked in his room? I’ve seen cleaner zoos!
Mom, really, this is so unfair!
OK, you’re right, I’ve acted like a bear,
I’m just upset, but I know now you care
— Erin Kelly, sixth grade
Fairness is something that affects everyone’s lives.
We all should know it’s something for us to strive
Whenever we wake up every single day,
We should think about how we can show fairness in every single way.
— Megan Tillis, sixth grade
Once when I was seven
I had a friend named Devin
He gave me some advice
And it was very nice
He said “always be fair”
I smiled and took him on his dare,
When I look back on that day
I remember being fair is always the way
— Lane Miller, sixth grade
To be fair to my mom, she is a great role model
From now to when I drank out of a bottle.
She’s always been there for me and my brothers.
I believe I have the best mother!
To be fair to my father
I admit, he is honestly fun to bother
Though he is tall and has no hair
I can’t help but think of him everywhere
— Claire Chiles, sixth grade
In fairness to my good dog I always give him a treat
He eats it like a fat hog
Then he dances to a beat
— Kody Norwood, seventh grade
In fairness to all my video games
I admit, I favor some more than others
And since some of them are lame
I give those to my brothers
— Noah Gann, seventh grade
In fairness to my friend, she’s reasonable and polite
Despite our disagreements, our friendship is a delight
She may think that our opinions will never blend
But what really matters is that we’re friends til the end
— Kelsey Mabry, seventh grade
In fairness to my friend
She’s sometimes there to comprehend
And even though our friendship could descend
She’s always there right around my life’s bend
— Kayla Weaver, seventh grade
In fairness to my Mom
She tells me what to do, but she’s still the bomb
When she tells me what to do I know to do it
Even though I don’t like it one little bit
— Zachary Wisti, seventh grade
I was sitting in class, thinking about fairness
I admit that my attention was quite poor
I guess I wasn’t being fair to Sausville,
So I told him about it before I walked out the door
He told me my honesty was great,
But I needed to gain a sharper awareness.
—Shelby Hammonds, eighth grade
I was sitting in Mr. Sausville’s
thinking about being fair,
I was so unaware
But his class opened up my eyes
To a world that isn’t just lullabies
— Bailey Norris, eighth grade
In fairness to my teacher, I admit
sometimes I think about how boring class can be
Even though the class is supposed to benefit me
In the long run, it’s not so bad
This is one of the best years I’ve ever had
— Andrew Payne, eighth grade
To be fair to my Mother
She is strong and able to take hit upon hit
She takes care of us when we’re ill
And above all shows a very strong will
— Olivia Cummings, eighth grade
To be fair to my Dad
I admit that I am bad
It makes me sad
Because I really do love my Dad
— Ethan Bates, eighth grade
To be fair to my brother, I’ll keep being patient
And try not to explode or be complacent
Sometimes I can’t stand him, but I do enjoy him really
Even though he’s Benny, I love him very dearly
— Michael Garner, eighth grade
My brother pushed me down the stairs
I came back and pulled his hair
Up to Mom to punish us both this time
Fair judgment helped the penalty fit the crime
— Rachel Burgess, eighth grade
To be fair to my sister, I must admit,
That she is a very good sibling, and those are hard to get
Most times she’s nice, sometimes she’s mean
But regardless of the situations,
she’s the coolest person I’ve ever seen
— Carly Yarber, seventh grade
Last night the thought of fairness was circling in my head
So I brushed my teeth and went to bed
Today I started talking to my brother
I told him I’m sorry for being such a bother
— Jordan Lumpkin, eighth grade
To be fair to my Mom
I admit that you do many things for me
Always getting me where I need to be
You are the best ever mom, you are the bomb!
— Jack Essenburg, eighth grade
In fairness to my brother
He’s funny like no other
Sometimes he makes me frown
But always cracks me up when I’m down
— Abigail Holden, eighth grade

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fewer students say they are being bullied at
school. Those who are bullied are more
likely to be girls than boys and more
likely to be white than minority students.
The Education Department
announced survey results Friday that
found 22 percent of students age 12 to
18 said they were bullied in 2013.
The figure, down 6 percentage points
from 2011, is the lowest level since the
National Center for Education
Statistics began surveying students on
bullying in 2005.
Bullying has spread from school
hallways and bathrooms to social
media, raising awareness in recent
years of what was once largely an
underground issue.
The focus has resulted in an aggressive effort to tackle it from local school
officials on up to the federal government.
Among the survey findings:
—About a quarter, or 24 percent, of
girls said they were bullied compared
to 20 percent of boys.
—A higher percentage of white students — 24 percent — said they were
bullied than black, Hispanic or Asian
students.
Twenty percent of black students
said they were bullied compared to 19
percent of Hispanic students and 9
percent of Asian students.
Among respondents, 9 percent of
girls and 5 percent of boys said they’d
experienced cyberbullying either in
school or outside of school.
Unwanted text messages was the
most common way students said they
were cyberbullied followed by hurtful
information posted on the Internet.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan
praised the news of an overall decline
but with a caveat: “Even though we’ve
come a long way over the past few
years in educating the public about
the health and educational impacts
that bullying can have on students, we
still have more work to do to ensure
the safety of our nation’s children.”
Students bullied are more likely to
struggle in school, skip class, face substance abuse and commit suicide, the
department said research has found.
Being made fun of, called names or
being insulted was the most common
way the surveyed students said were
bullied. Being the subject of rumors or
threatened with harm was also common.

WeIMeR MAcuRI-espInozA, a graduate of McCallie School, will continue his
pursuit of knowledge at Harvard University in the fall. This is just another step in
his plans for the future, which he established as a 9-year-old student at Michigan
Avenue Elementary School. In an interview with Larry Bowers of the Cleveland
Daily Banner from Dec. 12, 2007, Weimer said, “I want to go to Harvard; I want to
find a cure for cancer and diabetes and I want to win the Nobel Prize for
Medicine.” His goals seem to be coming true — first a scholarship to McCallie
and now to Harvard. When Weimer came to America from Peru, he could not
speak English — he now speaks three languages fluently. He says he feels
prayer has been a factor in his academic performance and is appreciative for the
encouragement and help from his parents, Saul and Milka Macuri-Espinoza,
along with Michigan Avenue Elementary School Principal Sheena Newman.

BrAd McdonAld holds a scrapbook dedicated to his uncle, Bert Jacobson, in Cary,
N.C. Jacobson died in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but he’s still listed as missing in
action because his remains were never positively identified.
7 decades on, Pearl Harbor kin seek new ID tests and closure
CARY, N.C. (AP) — Dawn Silsbee and her
siblings never knew their Uncle Bert — he
died years before they were born. But they
saw what his loss did to their family.
“Our grandmother openly wept, every year
— every Dec. 7,” the North Carolina woman
said. “And I think part of it was because she
really didn’t know where Bert was.”
Bert Jacobson’s family has always known
the details of his death: That he went down on
the USS Oklahoma during the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor. But his remains —
and those of more than 400 other sailors and
Marines who died on the battleship that day
— were never identified, but were instead
commingled in a dormant volcanic crater a few
miles from Pearl.
Now, nearly three-quarters of a century
after that day of “infamy,” their families might
soon get the closure Bert Jacobson’s mother
was denied.
Last month, the Department of Defense
announced plans to exhume the Oklahoma
remains at the National Memorial Cemetery of
the Pacific in Honolulu, commonly known as
the Punchbowl. Work is expected to begin in a
few weeks, after the state health department
issues the permits.
“We now have the ability to forensically test
these remains and produce the identifications,” says Debra Prince Zinni, a forensic
anthropologist and laboratory manager at the
Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency in
Hawaii. “They just did not have the same
capabilities back in the ‘40s when these
remains were recovered.”
Past attempts to identify casualties of the
Dec. 7, 1941, attack have ended in failure.
And this renewed effort has spawned a debate
over how best to honor their sacrifice and, in
effect, whether these men belong to the families or to the nation.
In a way, Silsbee and her siblings —
Bradley McDonald and Colleen Williams —
owe their Uncle Bert everything.
During boot camp at Great Lakes Naval
Training Station, Jacobson became fast
friends with O.C. McDonald, an orphan from
South Dakota. During a visit to Bert’s home in
Grayslake, Illinois, “Mac” fell in love with
Jacobson’s sister, Norma.
“If he hadn’t brought my dad home to meet
his sister, my mother, we — the three of us —
would not be here,” Williams said as she balanced in her lap a scrapbook dedicated to Bert
and her father.
At Navy tech school, Jacobson and
McDonald formed one half of a group of buddies that called themselves “The Four
Musketeers.” The others were Henry Ford II,
grandson of the car magnate, and Chet
Jankowski.
When training was through and assignments were handed out, Jacobson and
Jankowski couldn’t believe their luck — and
couldn’t wait to rub it in.
“They came up waving their orders in their
hand and waving them in the face of my father
saying, ‘We got paradise. We’re going to Pearl
Harbor in Hawaii,’” says Brad McDonald. “And
my dad was stuck with a set of orders for the
North Atlantic during the winter, which wasn’t
too nice.”
Jacobson and Jankowski ended up on the
USS Oklahoma, a Nevada-class battleship
commissioned in 1916.
The Japanese attacked on a Sunday.
According to shipmates the siblings met at a
USS Oklahoma reunion, Jacobson had spent
the hours before the attack helping ferry men
to shore for liberty. He’d been up all night and
had likely just turned in when the Japanese
planes struck.
“Poor Bert died before he knew there was a
war going on,” says McDonald.
When the first torpedo hit, Harold Johnson,
who worked in the powder handling room for
No. 4 turret, was four levels down, preparing
to go ashore for a date with a local woman.
“I’d just got out of the shower and was in
my skivvies and I was shining my shoes,” he
says, when suddenly an alarm went off.
“Everybody growled,” thinking it was a drill on
a Sunday — until the division officer’s voice
came booming over the horn.
“It’s the real thing,” he shouted.
As he rushed to his battle station, Johnson
could feel the ship begin to list. He got up the
ladder and out the hatch just as the sea began
rushing in.
The following day, several of Johnson’s gun
crew were cut out by rescue workers. Other
survivors’ tapping on the hull could be heard
for more than two weeks, but they could not
be reached.
The Oklahoma was hit by at least nine torpedoes. A total of 429 men on the ship that
day lost their lives.
Engineers didn’t refloat the battleship until
November 1943. Remains recovered during
the salvage operation were initially interred as
unknowns at two nearby cemeteries.
The Oklahoma graves were reopened in
1947, and dental comparisons conducted on
the remains. But after proposed identifications
for 27 of the unknowns were disapproved, all
the remains were re-interred at the
Punchbowl.
Soaked in oil and exposed to the elements
for two years, the remains were bundled in
military blankets and placed into caskets.
Many gravesites have multiple sets of remains
in them, a typical stone reading: “12
Unknowns, USS Oklahoma, Pearl Harbor,
December 7, 1941.”
In 2003, about 100 sets of Oklahoma
remains were dug up as part of another identification effort, but it was unsuccessful. In a
letter to families last year, the Department of
the Navy signaled its opposition to any further
exhumations.
“The sailors and Marines of USS Oklahoma
would be outside the sanctity of the grave for
a third time following their heroic sacrifice at
Pearl Harbor,” wrote Russell Beland, deputy
assistant secretary for military manpower and
personnel.
Last month, however, the Department of
Defense pulled rank and said the dis-interments would proceed.
“The secretary of defense and I will work
tirelessly to ensure your loved one’s remains
will be recovered, identified, and returned to
you as expeditiously as possible, and we will
do so with dignity, respect and care,” Deputy
Secretary Bob Work told relatives.
With dental and medical records, genetic
material from relatives, and modern techniques and equipment, the government lab “is
prepared to begin this solemn undertaking,”
said Rear Adm. Mike Franken, the agency’s
acting director.
Over the next several months, workers will
open 45 graves containing a total of 61 caskets. The agency says the forensics could take
up to five years, with a success rate of 80 percent.
Of the roughly 60,000 people who survived
the attack, only around 2,000 are estimated to
still be alive. Chet Jankowski is one of them.
At 93, the Swansea, Illinois, man has difficulty remembering his old buddy, Bert
Jacobson. “I had a lot of friends that lost their
life,” the old sailor said during a recent interview, his voice barely audible.
“They were all together, and they died
together,” he says. “And I think they should be
buried together.”

ArNold MeMoriAl eleMeNtAry’s second-grade students all worked together to
present a “Wax Museum” to the other classes and parents. Students chose different people
of historical significance, did research on them and prepared a speech. On the day of the
museum, the students dressed up in a costume for each person and sat (like wax) in the hallway until an observer came by and activated them for a speech. The students did a fantastic
job, and we appreciate all their hard work!

82-year-old woman graduates from South
Pittsburg High School — after 66 years
SOUTH PITTSBURG (AP) — An 82-yearold woman was among the graduates to
receive a diploma from South Pittsburg High
School this week.
WRCB-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1HuuCl4)
Peggy Tate Reeves should have graduated
from high school back in 1949 but was prevented first by an illness then by a job.
She was only a half-credit short of earning her degree. It was something she
thought about for years, but didn’t tell any-
one about until last October. With the help
of her son-in law, the school system granted
her a half-credit in civics for life experience.
Reeves said receiving the diploma fulfilled
a life-long dream and gave her self-confidence.
She said she now plans to continue her
education.
