By SANDY ALDRIDGEA balanced budget of just

over $43 million was adoptedlast night for the city ofDublin's upcoming fiscal year.The action took place duringregular meeting of the citycouncil and following a secondreading and public hearing atcity hall. All seven councilmembers were present andvoted in favor of the budget.

According to Mayor PhilBest, the budget is based on es-timates of revenues that willbe available beginning July 1,2015 and ending on June 30,2016. He said it contains nosignificant differences fromlast year's budget.

"We are always proud to an-nounce that there will be notax increase for the next year,"said Best.

In other action, the mayorand city council recognized re-tiring fireman Mike Hill for 37years of outstanding service tothe city. He was presentedwith a Bulova watch, accoladesfor his performance and dedi-cation, and thanks from themayor, council, and others inattendance.

In making the presentationto Hill, Mayor Pro Tem BillBrown said, "Mike's integrityand honesty have always beenoutstanding....If I could havemy pick of 10 people I'd like tohave work with me every day,Mike would definitely be one ofthem. He will be greatlymissed."

Hill responded with humili-ty and gratitude to the city andeveryone he has worked withduring his employment. Hesaid, "It has been a great 37years because we are like a

NEW YORK (AP) — A 7-year-old boy was killed and hislittle sister and father were in-jured when an SUV plowed in-to a fast food restaurant in theBronx, police said.It happened at about 5:30

p.m. Thursday at Kennedy'sChicken and Sandwiches.A Mercedes SUV driven by

a 73-year-old man reversed in-to the restaurant's front win-dow, striking three patronsseated inside, a 34-year-oldman, his 7-year-old son and a5-year-old daughter, accordingto police.“We came running over

here, you see the little boy onthe table with glass all overhim, you see the little girl cry-

ing for her mom and every-body was going crazy likewhat just happened," eyewit-ness Giovanni Martinez toldWABC-TV."The little girl was pinned,

so pedestrians, staff members,NYPD, rescue workers unbolt-ed the table from the floor tounpin the little girl," saidSheila Clark.All three were taken to a lo-

cal hospital. The boy, identi-fied as Ethan Villavicencio, of

the Bronx, was pronounceddead, police said. The fatherand daughter were listed instable condition.Police said the driver — 73-

year-old Kwasi Oduro — fledthe scene but was stopped ashort time later by traffic en-forcement. He was arrestedand charged with leaving thescene of an accident, policesaid.

BOSTON (AP) — A Bostonman shot to death by terror-ism investigators showed nosigns of radicalization, and hisfamily was completelyshocked by allegations that heplanned to kill police officers,the family's attorney said.Ronald Sullivan, a Harvard

Law professor, said UsaamaRahim's family consideredhim "an energetic young mantrying to make his way in thisworld" and saw no behavior orchanges in demeanor thatwould lead them to suspect hewould espouse violence.Surrounded by Rahim's

brothers, mother and wife onthe sidewalk where Rahimwas shot, Sullivan said Thurs-day that they hope to work"productively and cooperative-ly" with investigators in a"joint effort to search for thetruth.""Let me be clear: The fami-

ly is not making any substan-tive claims at this time aboutwhat happened in this case,"Sullivan said.The family and Sullivan

met with Suffolk County Dis-trict Attorney Daniel Conleylater Thursday and viewedvideo of the shooting.In deference to their wish-

es, the video will not be re-leased publicly until afterRahim's funeral, Conley saidin a statement.Conley promised a "thor-

ough, impartial and unbiasedinvestigation," into the shoot-ing.

Sullivan did not immedi-ately respond to an email ear-ly Friday.Rahim, 26, was fatally shot

Tuesday after investigatorssaid he refused to drop a mili-tary-style knife as they soughtto question him about "terror-ist-related information." Po-lice have said the video showsofficers backing up and Rahimmoving toward them beforethey fired.Sullivan said Rahim's

brother Ibrahim Rahim, awell-known imam in Boston,regrets posting a Facebookmessage based on incorrect,third-hand information claim-ing that his brother had beenshot three times in the back."We now know we simply

did not have all the facts atthat time," Sullivan said.Police Commissioner

William Evans said Rahimhad talked about beheadingblogger Pamela Geller beforedeciding to target police offi-cers. "There was some men-tion of that name," saidEvans, who dismissed the ideaas "wishful thinking" whilespeaking on the "Today" show.A Muslim leader said

Thursday that his killing byBoston Police and the FBI wasreckless and unnecessary.Imam Abdullah Faaruuq, whois close to the Rahim family,said he believes they wantedhim dead."You can capture elephants,

lions and tigers withoutkilling them," Faaruuq said.

"The intent was not to capturehim and keep him alive."Rahim will be buried Fri-

day, but the family is keepingit private.Geller is a combative per-

sonality known for provokingMuslims by campaigningagainst a mosque near theWorld Trade Center site, spon-soring inflammatory adver-tisements and organizingProphet Muhammad cartooncontest in Texas"They want to make an ex-

ample out of me to frightenthe rest of the US into silenceand submission," Geller wrotein an email to the AP onThursday. "This is not aboutme. This is about whether theUS will stand for freedom orsubmit and cower before vio-lent intimidation."The FBI said Rahim and

his nephew, David Wright,plotted to commit some kind ofattack, and that Rahim or-dered three large knives onAmazon.com a week earlier.The FBI said police con-

fronted Rahim after he toldWright Tuesday that he hadchanged his mind about be-heading an out-of-state victim,and instead planned to kill lo-cal police officers either Tues-day or Wednesday.

DEAR ABBY: I am 32 andneed advice on setting person-al boundaries in my relation-ships. Simply put, I have aguy friend who has feelings forme that I don't have for him.We dated briefly. I broke it off,and we have continued asfriends for two years.He knows I'm not interest-

ed in an intimate relationshipwith him. However, he hasmade it clear through wordsand behavior that he's in lovewith me, almost to the point ofobsession.I feel he doesn't respect my

personal space. We argue -- es-pecially if he ends up crashingat my house after a night atthe pub. I firmly tell him hecan only sleep on my couch,but he'll weasel his way intomy bed. I feel I'm enablinghim in his clingy behavior be-cause I don't want to hurt hisfeelings.I want to be able to act as-

sertively with him and others.I want to stop being so pas-sive, especially with men.Please advise me how to workon this. -- PUSHOVER INVANCOUVER, CANADADEAR PUSHOVER: The

man you describe appears tobe under the impression thathe can wear you down if hekeeps at it long enough. He is-n't interested in being your"friend"; he wants to be yourlover.Because you aren't inter-

ested in him that way, quit al-lowing him to sleep at yourplace. If he becomes so drunkhe can't drive himself home,get him a taxi. Allowing him tosleep over and weasel himselfinto your bed sends him amixed message, and that's amistake.To create effective bound-

aries, you must be clear aboutthe messages you send to oth-ers. What you appear to needto work on is the ability to sayno. Try it. You'll like it.

DEAR ABBY: I'm having ahard time with my dad. Hetreats me like a little kid andrefuses to recognize that I'man adult who can make myown decisions. It makes it dif-ficult for us to get along, and Ihave been spending less timewith him because of it.Abby, I am 40. I haven't

lived at home for more than 20years. I'm married with kidsand hold a responsible job, buthe still sees me as a little girl.

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,M.D.Gamora (Zoe Saldana) in

"Guardians of the Galaxy"and Black Widow (ScarlettJohansson) in "Avengers: Ageof Ultron" are female super-heroes who, we'd guess, arefueled by a potassium-rich di-et. Gotta be, to keep theircool and have such grace andstrength.Potassium definitely is a

superhero among nutrients.It builds muscle strength,and that, in turn, buildsstronger bones. A study inBone shows that a 10 percentboost in muscle strength inkids just 6 years old can post-pone osteoporosis decadeslater by up to 13 years. An-other study in JAMA Pedi-

atrics found that young girlswho get the most potassium(2,400 mg a day or more) arefar more likely to havehealthy blood pressure asthey get older. And makingsure potassium levels arehealthy may help prevent di-abetes.The recommended intake

for girls 9 and older is be-tween 4,300 and 4,500 mgdaily. But few get that much,because 40 percent of the av-erage North American teen'sdiet is filled with empty calo-ries from soda, fruit drinks,dairy desserts, pizza and sol-id fats.So if you want your girls to

grow up to be superwomen,make sure they get plenty ofpotassium-rich foods. The top10 sources: beet greens,

Swiss chard, spinach, bokchoy, beets, Brussels sprouts,broccoli, cantaloupe, toma-toes and asparagus. Othergood sources: raspberries,strawberries and watermel-on. There's got to be someitems on that list your kidlikes! And a smoothie is al-ways a great way to blendsome super-nutrients into ateen's diet.

An example: He will tell mehow to do everyday tasks andremind me not to touch thestove or leave the lights on. Inhis mind, I never grew up.It has always been this way

with him. I have tried talkingto him about it, but all he doesis roll his eyes like I'm ateenager.Dad is in his late 60s and

I'd really like to have a rela-tionship with him while he isstill alive and healthy. Is thereanything I can do to make himunderstand his perspective isskewed and he needs tochange his behavior? -- DAD-DY'S GIRLDEAR DADDY's GIRL: At

his age, you aren't going tochange your father. Yourchances of improving your re-lationship with him will bebetter if you change the wayyou react to what he's doing,and realize he says the thingshe does because it's part ofwhat he thinks is a parent'sjob. Once you see the humor init, you'll stop feeling defensiveand resenting him. Trust me,it will go a long way towardyour having the adult relation-ship with him that you crave.

WILLIAMS

Family of man shot by terrorinvestigators shocked by claims

Boy killed when SUV plowsinto restaurant; driver arrested

Last week, I wrote aboutmy “community,” my contribu-tion to it and how I behavewithin it. But I wasn’t talkingabout the community at large;there are established ways tointeract with that communitythrough church activities,school events, sports, andeven the St. Patrick’s festival.What I mean by “communi-

ty” is the group of people I amclosest to: my family, friends,co-workers and neighbors. I’vebeen thinking about things Icould do to enhance those re-lationships, like getting agroup of creative women to-gether once a month to makeart and share ideas. Howfun—and enlightening—thatwould be! It’s the way I feelevery month when I’m withmy book club.My first book club was in

Augusta. It was organized bya local bookstore owner whothought a group of womenwould make an interestingmix; she invited 10 of her bestcustomers, all about the sameage, and we all joined enthusi-astically. None of us kneweach other when we beganthat book club, but we quicklybecame the closest of friends.We met in the bookstore oncea month after hours and tookturns bringing refreshments. Iwrote a monthly newsletterfor the group. We met everymonth for eight years and thatgroup continued after I movedback to Dublin.Just after I moved back

home and started my job atMiddle Georgia College, I sentout an email to the facultyasking if anyone would be in-terested in forming a bookclub. Three people responded;at our first meeting, we decid-ed to form a group of four cou-ples, meet monthly, and taketurns hosting in our homes.Once again, I did not knowanyone when we formed thisgroup, but they have becomemy dearest friends. We meetat 6 p.m. for appetizers, fol-lowed by dinner, and then ad-journ to the living room wherewe talk about the read for themonth. We are usually doneby 9 p.m. We haven’t missed asingle month in almost seven-teen years.It’s easy to start a book

club. First, you have to recruitmembers. You could do like Idid and send out a blanketemail at work. You may getfolks you don’t know but whoturn into good friends becauseyou share a common interest.

Perhaps you already have peo-ple in mind that like to readand that you know would getalong well. Maybe you want tomake it same sex, like my Au-gusta book club, or couples,like my Cochran book club. Amother/daughter group mightwork. Important factors toconsider are: Will they showup consistently? Are they like-ly to read the book? Are theyopinionated? Do they have asense of humor?Decide how big you want

the club to be. Having a biggroup might be fun, but you’vegot to have a space to accom-modate a large group, it iscostly to feed lots of people,everyone will not have an op-portunity to speak and voicean opinion, and a large groupis not conducive to formingclose friendships, which is oneof the objectives of doing this.Plus, a large group is not co-hesive and is more likely tofall apart over time. I suggestlimiting your group to eight to10 members. That’s a size eas-ily accommodated in some-one’s home. It’s easy to feedthat number. And everyonegets a chance to speak aboutthe book.At your first meeting, you

can decide when and whereyou’ll meet. You can also de-cide whether to have refresh-ments or a full meal. You coulddo potluck and have eachmember contribute somethingat every meeting. Let themonth’s book inspire the meal.Or if you meet after dinner,you could serve dessert.You’ll want to discuss how

you’ll choose the books. Someclubs select titles for an entireyear. Will the host pick thebook or will the membersvote? Will you read only pa-perbacks? Our group picks thebooks for the next two or threemonths. We try to choosebooks that are in paperback orthat can be obtained from thelibrary to keep down costs.Determine the discussion

format. Will the host lead thegroup or will there be an in-formal exchange of ideas? Willyou take turns offering feed-back or will it be a casual free-for-all? This is not a problemin a small group as long as oneperson does not dominate thediscussion. Will someone re-search the author, period, andsubject matter? Set groundrules, including how to get thegroup back on track if it di-gresses. And don’t let thegroup degenerate into a gossip

fest.Don’t read? How about a

knitting circle? Once again,decide how many membersyou want in the club. If youdon’t know anyone, place a no-tice where you work or even ina church bulletin.Decide if the group is open

to novices or only to seasonedknitters. New knitters willneed instruction; considerasking an expert to join you onoccasion to give basic instruc-tions, as well as tips andpointers from time to time. Orcall a senior center or nursinghome to see if someone is in-terested in giving lessons.Have a preliminary meet-

ing to determine when andwhere you’ll meet. Establishclub policies, including whowill be responsible for refresh-ments and if guests and chil-dren will be allowed. Youmight even want to discusshaving theme meetings, suchas knit-a-scarf night or knit-ting for a cause, like breastcancer.Perhaps you have an inter-

est in quilting, scrapbooking,or other craft. Why not form aclub around your own hobby.But who says you have tobuild a club around a hobby?Everyone loves to eat—whynot let food be the focus. Cre-ate a dinner club and taketurns hosting dinner in yourhomes. Or have each memberbring something. You couldhave theme night.How about a bowling club.

Or a monthly “jam night”where everyone sits aroundplaying their musical instru-ments after a great dinner atsomeone’s home?

The most important thingabout any club is commit-ment. Members have to com-mit to being there everymonth. Something happenswhen members find excusesnot to be there—it sends amessage to the others that theclub is not important. Prettysoon, the group falls apart. Soaim for a club with a fewmembers who are dedicated tomaking it work. Don’t beafraid to form a club with peo-

ple you don’t know well—those people will expand yourhorizons, make you think dif-ferently, and they just mightend up being your bestfriends.The dictionary defines

“community” as “sharing, par-ticipation, and fellowship.”Those words perfectly de-scribe what happens when agroup of people with commoninterests get together. Amonthly meeting gives you

something to look forward toand gives you a purpose. Ihope you have fun. Drop me aline—I’d love to hear aboutyour experience with thegroup you create.

Organizing a group enriches our lives

Organizing a book club is an easy way to surround yourself with a sense of “community.”

Seventy-one years agotoday, Gen. Dwight DavidEisenhower was beginningthe countdown for the Alliedinvasion of Normandy. He wasspending long hours with hisstaff as they made plans toleave the shores of Englandfor the coast of France on June5, 1944.

Heavy rains would force aone-day postponement, theactual departure coming onJune 6. Even then, weatherforecasts were not favorable,but Eisenhower’s instinctsbrought about a bold decision.Early on D-Day morning, hegave the order, “Let’s go!”History reminds us that theWestern world should honorthe Supreme AlliedCommander with the mostgenerous of toasts. D-Day wasthe beginning of the end forNazi Germany.

Eisenhower organized twostatements, one for the suc-cess of the landings and onefor failure to get ashore atNormandy. Fortunately, thecourage of the Allied soldiers,particularly the Americans atOmaha Beach, enabled thefuture president of the UnitedStates to announce to theworld that the Allied invasionof Normandy was successful.

It has been my good for-tune to meet and interviewseveral dozens of the heroes ofthe invasion, along with manywho were directly linked tothe Battle of Normandy,including GeorgetteVerhaeghe and her sisterArletta who, along with theirparents, the Gondrees, were

liberated by the British at theOrne River Canal — whichfamously became known asPegasus Bridge. TheGondrees were the firstFrench family liberated dur-ing the war.

One summer while atPegasus Bridge, an Englishsoldier by the name of KnobbyClarke joined us for lunch andshared his story. His hand wasshot off in the Battle ofNormandy. The nurse whowas his attendant duringrecuperation became his wife.Then there was Col. Hans vonLuck, a German Panzer com-mander who, after the war,became close friends withmany of his former adver-saries. He made a memorablecomment:

“To forget is great. To for-give is better. Best of all is rec-onciliation. As a professionalsolder, I have to take responsi-bility for what happened, butas a human being, I have no

hate.”We became friends with

Maureen and Jasper Knight,an English couple whom westill visit in the summer.Jasper was too young forenlistment, but Mo will forev-er be linked to the dastardlywar. Her father was a courierin London. A bomb landeddirectly in his path one daywhile he was riding his bike tomake a delivery, snuffing outhis life in an instant. TheKnights are well-traveled andhave enjoyed many trips toGermany, but Mo says, “Ittook me a long time to get overmy hate for the Germans.Anybody who was in Londonin World War II when thesenseless bombing was sosevere had a hard time withreconciliation.”

Over the years, I havefound my way to Normandy atleast a half-dozen times.There have been visits to bat-tlefields and cemeteriesthroughout Europe along witha tour of Portsmouth,England, where Eisenhowerand his staff planned the inva-sion. Countless books, alongwith newspaper and magazinearticles about the war, havefound their way to my library.The war fascinates our societytoday as much as it ever has.The books and movies wenever tire of, although itwould be difficult forHollywood to come up with anew story that would grip ouremotions as did classics like“A Bridge Too Far.”

One of the most interestingveterans I have known (and I

have recorded conversationswith him for the University ofGeorgia Library) was HowardManoian. Howard, a para-trooper with the 82ndAirborne, landed at the cornerof the cemetery at Sainte-Mère-Église. After the warand eventual retirement, hebought a home at Sainte-Mère-Église and always spenthis summers there, becomingsomething of a celebrity. Manynetworks and writers soughthim out to hear his story. Thecity fathers appreciated hisloyalty to the town.

For years, many touristspaid little attention to theexpansive German cemeteryat La Cambe, which is nearBayeux. Interestingly, thereare many poignant messagesabout war at the museumthere. One has to do with aGerman girl whose father waskilled at Normandy. Hermother became pregnantwhile her father was on leavebefore coming to Normandy.He never returned. Hisdaughter left this message athis grave: “On my third triphere, I still cannot meet you.How many more daughterswill never know their fathersbecause of war?”

Ruthless murderers werenot stamped out when Hitlerended his life in the bunker inBerlin. There are many ruth-less despots out there today.We must find a way to keepthem from gaining traction.Perhaps we can help achievethat goal by remembering his-tory and the retelling of WorldWar II stories.

Editorial Roundup...May 29The Times, Gainesville,

Georgia, on obesity:What's one of the greatest

dangers facing Americatoday? Is it the Islamic State?Is it our government's deficit?Is it climate change or reli-gious freedom bills or gaymarriage? It's an issueresearchers at the NationalCenter for Weight & Wellnessat George WashingtonUniversity said costs thecountry $305.1 billion annual-ly. And according to the FiscalTimes in an analysis byNerdWallet, this threat coststates -- on average -- $2.9 bil-lion last year. What could itbe?

Look down at your midsec-tion and more likely than notyou'll see the culprit: Obesity.According to Gallup,Mississippi has the highestobesity rate in the country at35.2 percent. West Virginiacomes in second at 34.3 per-cent. (See the top 10 highestand lowest at gallup.com).Rounding out the top 10 are:Louisiana, Arkansas,Oklahoma, Alabama,Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa andMissouri (all have obesityrates over 30 percent). Before

we all shout "Thank God forMississippi," let's not gloat.As a nation we are growing --and not in a good way. Ournational obesity rate is higherthan ever before at 27.7 per-cent. We are doing somewhatbetter in Georgia. In 2012, thestate was ranked 37. In 2013,33. In 2014, the ranking was21 among the 50 states. Still,our obesity rate is north of 25percent.

Why is all of this impor-tant? Carrying too muchweight leads to a multitude ofhealth complications, fromdiabetes to high blood pres-sure to increased incidents ofstrokes and heart attacks.Gallup's "Well-Being Index"links rates of low obesity withhigher rates of well being.Hawaii has the lowest obesityrate (19) followed by Coloradowith only 20.3 percent.

What do we have to do tolower our obesity numbers?Easier said than done. Adjustour diets, eat less and exer-cise more. We will feel betterand live longer -- and accord-ing to a UC Davis study,reduce our public health costby $92,000 a person over ourlifetimes. Such a deal.

Morning News,Savannah, Georgia, onPatriot Act:

The following editorialappeared in The Seattle Timeson Thursday, May 28:

The Patriot Act's trouble-some Section 215 finallyexpired Monday unless itsdwindling supporters inCongress engineer a miracu-lous, last-minute recovery.

It's time to say goodbye andgood riddance to governmentcollection of Americans' elec-tronic communications data.

There is now ample evi-dence that Section 215 gavegovernment spies a too-longleash and that oversight mea-sures within the act failed tokeep them in check, compro-mising Americans' liberty andprivacy.

Adding insult to injury, thebulk gathering of communica-tions data under the authorityof the act had little to no bene-fit in preventing terrorist plots.

The National SecurityAgency went too far and ille-gally rounded up details ofelectronic communicationsregardless of whether theywere part of an investigation.

This wholesale data grabnever made a concrete differ-

ence in any counterrorisminvestigation or contributed tothe discovery of any previouslyunknown terrorism plot,according to the bipartisan,federal Privacy and CivilLiberties Oversight Board.

Political maneuvering lastweek by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul,R-Ky., appropriately highlight-ed concerns about the act andits significant trade-offs.

The importance of thisdebate was called out by theU.S. Court of Appeals for the2nd Circuit in New York, whichruled May 7 that the NSA over-stepped its Section 215 autho-rization with its mass collec-tion and storage of detailsabout phone communications.

Congress should let thedeadline for renewing Section215 pass so lawmakers cancontinue discussing, under lesspressure, how to proceed andbalance the demands of nation-al security with the protectionof privacy and civil liberties.

But don't let Section 215completely fade away. Its mis-use should continue to remindAmericans of the importance ofstanding firm on principleseven in uncertain times.

Serving You

The definition of the word hero is a personadmired for courage.

Seventy-one years ago this Saturday, Alliedforces were faced with a mission that manywould be afraid to take.

The men trained for what was originallyplanned for 71 years ago today - June 5,1944. But the weather forced Gen. Dwight D.Eisenhower to push the invasion back by oneday.

The Allies, made up of American, Canadianand British forces, began the during earlymorning of June 6, 1944. Allied forces jumpedinto France behind enemy lines while, laterthat morning, Allied forces landed on thebeach. According to reports, on the first dayof the battle, more than 10,000 people died.

What happened that day has been writtenabout in many books. The mission has alsobeen portrayed in hit movies like "TheLongest Day" and "Saving Private Ryan" aswell as the television mini-series "Band ofBrothers."

These programs give us an example andinsight to how tough and difficult that cam-paign was.

Only those who were there in the middle ofthat battle know what it was like.

Today we should take the time to thankthose courageous men who made it back andremember and honor those who were killedon the beaches of Normandy as well as thosewho never reached land alive.

People's lives were changed that day.History was changed, thanks to our heroesand the courage they displayed.

— Payton Towns III

A mission unlikeany other shouldnever be forgotten

CHICAGO (AP) — Jetlin-ers roared down O'Hare'snewest runway as Chicago of-ficials cheerfully touted thelatest piece of a decade-longoverhaul as a tipping point

that could cut delays in halfand dramatically improve thereputation for bottlenecks atone of the nation's busiest air-ports.

But in the year and a halfsince that celebratory event,delays have been even morecommon than in the five yearsbefore the strip opened, ac-cording to an analysis by TheAssociated Press.

"It just shows the problemis bigger than concrete," avia-tion consultant Michael Boydsaid. "It's like building moreon-ramps to a freeway that'salready congested."

From the runway's openingin October 2013 through thispast March, nearly 28 percentof departures have been de-layed, compared with 22 per-cent over the five previousyears, according to the latestavailable data from the Bu-reau of Transportation Statis-tics. Arrival delays tracked asimilar 6 percentage point in-crease, hitting 26 percent. Thejump was double the nationalincrease.

The poor results raise theprospect that the complexityand enormity of O'Hare, com-bined with its vulnerability toproblems originating else-where in the nation's air sys-tem, will sometimes swampwhatever performance gainscome from the more efficientdesign that planners are etch-ing into the 72-year-old air-field.

Other U.S. airports, includ-ing the nation's busiest, in At-lanta, are also seeking morecapacity by adding concreteand are seeing some improve-ment. O'Hare's $9 billion pro-gram, funded in large mea-sure by fees passed on to thepublic in flight tickets, ulti-mately envisions eight run-ways, six of them parallel,compared with seven criss-crossing runways before.

Passenger advocates sayChicago officials might haveset the stage for disappoint-ment by making specific, boldpromises on delays.

"It's easy to hype and raiseexpectations, and the unfortu-nate thing is that the people

who make these promises arenot the ones actually doing thework and may not even knowjust how hard the work is,"said Douglas Kidd, director ofthe National Association ofAirline Passengers.

As O'Hare prepares to openyet another parallel runwaythis October, the data pointsto the risks of attachingpromises to costly improve-ments at airports when per-formance depends to a largedegree on a multitude of fac-tors beyond anyone's control.

The winter that followedthe runway's opening broughtthe polar vortex and extremetravel disruptions. In May2014, a malfunctioning ceilingfan led to the evacuation of asuburban air traffic site.Then, four months later, therewas another crippling shut-down when an FAA contractorset fire to sensitive communi-cations equipment in an act ofsabotage.

However, the AP's reviewfound delay figures were stillworse even when excludingthe worst weather month andthe three months affected bythose air traffic stoppages.

Then, there were everydayproblems such as too manyplanes and not enough avail-able gates. The persistent dis-ruptions have meant pain forindividual travelers — some-times stranded on tarmacsand in terminals for hours —and accelerating waves of airtravel disruption from coast tocoast.

"It was all the worlds collid-ing into what turned out to bethis really miserable experi-ence," said trade associationexecutive Ellen Davis of Ar-lington, Virginia, describing aFebruary night stranded atO'Hare by multiple gate prob-lems and having to sleep on acold bench with her 4-year-oldson.

In another troubling sign,flights out of O'Hare arrivedon schedule at their destina-tions less than 68 percent ofthe time last year, the worstresult out of the last sevenyears. A standard industrymetric on delays — and the

one the city promised wouldplummet — also worsenedsince the runway opened, ap-proaching a level that aviationexperts label as "very signifi-cant congestion."

Karen Pride, a spokes-woman for the city's AviationDepartment, said she still be-lieves the delay-reductionforecast from the new runwayis achievable and pointed toan initial drop in disruptionsfollowing the modernizationprogram's first runway pro-jects in 2008.

Yet the weaker perfor-mance recently comes despitethe fact that the airport is alsounder far less strain today,with around 110,000 fewertakeoffs and landings lastyear, compared with a peak adecade earlier.

And the 2013 runway wassupposed to bring the steepestdrop in delays yet becausethat was the tipping pointwhere air traffic shifted to aprimarily east-west pattern,allowing for more landingsand takeoffs even in low visi-bility.

Some of the trouble was di-rectly related to the modern-ization work, which is shiftingthe airport's footprint to amore-efficient side-by-sidelayout now that modern air-craft are equipped to handlethe crosswinds that once madecrisscrossing runways a neces-sity. O'Hare's busiest depar-ture runway was closed for sixmonths over the summer andfall of last year because oftaxiway construction linked tothe project.

But there were monthswhen the runway closure byitself was evidently not muchof a roadblock. Last July, oneof the busiest travel times ofthe year, had a smaller per-centage of delays than theyear before, despite the run-way shutdown.

There have been somesigns of improvement, includ-ing the fact that even in poorvisibility controllers are some-times able to land the maxi-mum 100 or so arrivals perhour thanks to the safer airpattern.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Sis-ters Barbara ThompsonHutchinson and JoyceThompson Vallone have longknown that their distantcousin Carroll Heath died inthe Philippines during WorldWar II and his remains werenever recovered.

What they didn't know un-til recently is that the youngArmy private from westernNew York died while in cap-tivity, one of thousands ofAmericans to die in Japanesehands after the fall of thePhilippines in 1942. It was arevelation that broughtHutchinson to tears.

"He needed help, and itwasn't there," said Hutchin-son, who lives in Gowanda,where Heath graduated fromhigh school in 1940. "I can on-ly trust that he had faith inGod and it sustained him."

The new informationemerged thanks to the effortsof a Gowanda-born father-sonteam of veterans seekingrecognition for Heath, whosename was left off the WWII

memorial in Gowanda.Robert Mesches, a WWII

veteran, was a high schoolclassmate of Heath's.Mesches' son Alan, a Viet-nam-era veteran, has spentmonths researching Heath'sschool and military record tofill the blanks in the life of amissing soldier who was es-sentially forgotten by hishometown and was lost dur-ing the chaotic early stages ofthe fighting in the Pacific.

A Memorial Day weekendstory by The Associated Presson the Mesches' efforts result-ed in Hutchinson and Thomp-son coming forward with newinformation on Heath's frac-tured family life and Armyservice. Heath's father wasn'taround and his mother was apatient at the state psychi-atric hospital in Gowanda.Before enlisting in the Armyin 1941, Heath lived with hismother's sister, Nellie Colvin,near Gowanda. There hefound plenty of support, Val-lone said.

"The fact that Carroll des-

ignated Aunt Nellie as hiscontact and named her hisbeneficiary when he regis-tered for military service is aclue to the love and gratitudehe must have felt for herkindness to him," Vallone,who lives outside Phoenix,said in an email.

The sisters said they knewvery little about Heath whilegrowing up, other than thathe died in the Philippinesduring the war. Colvin died in1979, and the sisters' motherdied a few years ago, passingdown to them a scrapbookColvin had kept. It wasn't un-til the sisters learned aboutthe AP story that Vallone dugout the scrapbook from amongtheir mother's things andchecked its contents. Insidewere two documents they did-n't know existed.

One was a Western Uniontelegram from the Army datedNov. 23, 1945, informingColvin that Heath died on Lu-zon Island on Dec. 31, 1942.No other information was pro-vided. But in a letter dated

Jan. 1, 1946, the commanderin chief of U.S. Army forces inthe Pacific, Gen. DouglasMacArthur, offered Colvin hiscondolences on the death ofher nephew "while a prisonerof war of the enemy."

It's still unknown whereand how Heath died, or wherehe was buried. Several thou-sand Americans died inJapanese captivity during themonths after U.S. forces inthe Philippines surrenderedin May 1942, including hun-dreds who perished duringthe infamous Bataan DeathMarch. A U.S. military reportfrom 1950 determinedHeath's remains were "unre-coverable.'"

Heath was 22 or 23 whenhe died. The new informationon Heath's POW status beforehis death adds another layerto the man's life story that'sstill being written more than70 years after his death.

"It paints a clearer pic-ture," Alan Mesches said. "Ei-ther way, he died in service tohis country."

CITY OF DUDLEY - 2014 ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORTFor a full copy of this report, contact Dudley City Hall at 478-676-3495

Water Quality Data TableIn order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in your water. All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided the definitions below the table.

US employers add solid 280kjobs; rate inches up to 5.5 pct.WASHINGTON (AP) —

U.S. employers added a robust280,000 jobs in May, showingthat the economy is back ontrack after starting 2015 in aslump.The Labor Department said

Friday that the unemploymentrate ticked up to 5.5 percentfrom 5.4 percent in April. Butthat occurred for a good reason:Hundreds of thousands morepeople began seeking jobs inMay, leading to the slight in-crease.Last month's strong job

growth suggests that employ-ers remained confident enoughto keep hiring even after theeconomy shrank during thefirst three months of the year.The government also revisedup its estimate of job growth inMarch andApril by a combinednet 32,000.Construction, health care

and hospitality companiesdrove the May job growth. Onthe negative side, persistentlycheaper oil led energy compa-nies to shed workers for a fifthstraight month.

Average hourly wages rose2.3 percent from a year earlier,showing some pick-up. Still,pay is barely rising faster thaninflation, a persistent problemfor the economy that has limit-ed growth.Over the past three months,

the economy has added an av-erage of 207,000 jobs. That's adecent gain, though lower thanlast year's average of 263,667.Prices for the benchmark

10-year Treasury note fell,pushing up its yield to 2.42percent from 2.35 percent justbefore the jobs figures were an-nounced. U.S. stock futuresheld steady.While employers continue to

hire, consumers, the main dri-ver of the U.S. economy, re-main fairly cautious. Factoryorders have dropped. But Fri-day's solid jobs report confirmsthe economy's vitality.Over the past 12 months,

around 3 million jobs havebeen added. Those additionalpaychecks helped increasespending on housing and au-tos. Sales of newly built homes

have surged 23.7 percentthrough the first four monthsof 2015 compared with a yearago, government data show.Rising demand for new homesled construction firms to hire17,000 workers in May.Americans bought 1.64 mil-

lion cars and trucks inMay, themost since July 2005. Manu-facturers added 7,000 jobs lastmonth, primarily in the autosector.Retailers hired 31,400 new

employees. The health caresector added 57,700 workers,and the leisure and hospitalityindustry, which includesrestaurants, hired 57,000.Employers seem to be envi-

sioning a healthier economy.The weekly number of peopleapplying for unemploymentbenefits — a proxy for layoffs— has remained under a his-torically low 300,000 for morethan four months. By holdingon to nearly all their workers,businesses are ensuring thatthey will have the capacity torespond to greater customerdemand.

By CLAY REYNOLDSKids at Erik Walden’s Dublin

camps never fail to treat himlike a hero.

During the events he’s puton each of the past three sum-mers, the Dublin High Schoolfootball star-turned-Colts line-backer has always gotten plen-ty of attention from flocks ofcampers who want a chance totalk to him and get his auto-graph.

“They can tell me about acertain play in one of mygames,” Walden said, describ-ing some of his conversationswith campers in years past.“That’s always a specialmoment.”

He’ll return Saturday morn-ing for a fourth consecutiveyear to hold his “Camp ofChampions” at OconeeCommunity Center. The event isfree and open to boys and girlsof any age. It will run from 8a.m. to noon.

Walden, who completed off-season OTAs with the Colts onThursday, will offer thecampers basic coaching on foot-ball fundamentals, but his larg-er purpose is to provide someinspiration for communityyouth who stand in the sameplace in life he did at their age.

“It’s a great opportunity towork with the kids and showthem that as long as they con-tinue to work hard, anything ispossible,” he said. “I was in the

same shoes as a lot of thesekids... You don’t know when itgets hard, that it’s not the end.You can’t give into adversity.You have to be able to with-stand it and know that every-thing you go through is onlygoing to make you stronger.”

His message will encouragethem to stay committed to pur-suing success wherever theychoose to go in life, even when

faced with trouble. “If things don’t work out for

you when you’d like them orexpect them to doesn’t meanthat what you’re trying toachieve is not possible,”Walden said. “Everybody takesdifferent paths. As long as youbelieve, your faith is strong andthen you’re willing to takeadvantage of the opportunities,then the sky is the limit.”

Walden said he’s happy forthe opportunity to come backhome this weekend, along withthe chance to catch up withsome old friends ... and sign afew autographs.

“It’s an exciting time for me,my family and my kids,” he said.“They look forward to it. It’sexciting to unite with a lot ofpeople you haven’t seen in awhile.”

NFL’s Walden returns home for another free football clinic

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech and BostonCollege are heading to Ireland to open the 2016college football season.

The announcement was made Thursday byIrish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and other offi-cials in Dublin.

The Atlantic Coast Conference game will beplayed Sept. 3, 2016, at 51,700-seat AvivaStadium, with Boston College serving as the hometeam.

"I know the young men on our team willremember this experience for a lifetime, and I'mso excited for them," Boston College coach Steve

Addazio said."They will get to explore a new country, be

immersed in a new culture, and then play the firstgame on the opening Saturday of the college foot-ball season."

Boston College will be playing in Ireland for thesecond time, defeating Army 38-24 in 1988 at theold Lansdowne Road stadium in Dublin.

This will be the first international game forGeorgia Tech, though not for coach Paul Johnson.He was Navy's offensive coordinator when theMidshipmen played Notre Dame at Croke Park in1996, losing 54-27.

"I'm excited for our guys to have the opportuni-ty to experience playing in Ireland," Johnson said."Our players really enjoyed it at Navy when weplayed in Dublin in 1996. It'll be something theyremember for the rest of their lives."

Aer Lingus College Football Classic will markthe ninth college football game to be played inIreland, and the sixth involving FBS schools. Mostrecently, Penn State defeated Central Florida 26-24 at Croke Park last season.

The game will be televised by ESPN2. For fanswho wish to attend the game, both schools areoffering travel packages.

"This is great news for Irish tourism and theeconomy," Kenny said. "In 2012 and again lastyear, we witnessed a huge surge of U.S. visitors toour shores for the Emerald Isle Classic (whenNotre Dame routed Navy 50-10 at Aviva Stadium)and the Croke Park Classic, and I have no doubt,particularly given Boston College's close links withthis country, we will see another spectacular suc-cess in 2016."

The 2016 opener will be the first meetingbetween the ACC schools since 2012, whenGeorgia Tech won 37-17 in Atlanta.

The Yellow Jackets hold a 6-2 lead in the series.

MessaGe for the KidsWalden stresses ‘anything is possible’ with hard work.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Afteran eight-day break, the NBA's topteams and biggest stars put onquite a show.

Only one kept it up for 53minutes.

And only one survived with-out a serious injury.

Stephen Curry had 26 pointsand eight assists, and the GoldenState Warriors held off LeBronJames and the ClevelandCavaliers for a thrilling 108-100overtime victory in Game 1 of theNBA Finals on Thursday night.

"It was just a classic five min-utes that we needed to get thatwin," Curry said of the overtime.

In the finals for the first timein 40 years, the Warriors gavetheir long-suffering fans quite atreat. They rallied from an early14-point deficit, absorbed afinals-best 44 points from Jamesand shut down Cleveland in theextra session.

James shot 18 of 38 from thefield and had eight rebounds andsix assists in 46 minutes. But thefour-time MVP missed a longjumper at the end of regulation,and Cleveland missed its firsteight shots of overtime — and 12straight going back to the fourthquarter.

"We got to do more aroundhim," Cavs coach David Blattsaid.

Adding to the Cavs' frustra-tion, point guard Kyrie Irvinglimped to the locker room afteraggravating his troublesome leftknee in overtime. He did notreturn.

With Kevin Love already out,the Cavs obviously need Irving.He missed two games in theEastern Conference finalsbecause of knee and foot injuriesand sounded unsure of his statusfor Game 2 on Sunday inOakland.

"Obviously you can see in thetone of my voice I'm a little wor-ried," said Irving, who buried hishead in his hands at his lockerand left on crutches.

Warriors coach Steve Kerrsaid he hopes Irving is able toplay the remainder of the series.

"I mean that," Kerr said. "Youprobably don't believe me, but Imean that."

There were 13 lead changesand 11 ties in a game tightly con-tested across the board. Therewas little edge in shooting(Warriors 44.3 percent,Cavaliers 41.5 percent),rebounding (Warriors 48,Cavaliers 45) or assists(Warriors 24, Cavaliers 19).

The biggest difference mighthave been the benches. TheWarriors' reserves outscored theCavs' 34-9, with J.R. Smith theonly Cleveland reserve to score— and he was 3 of 13 from thefield.

In the end, it came down tothe biggest stars making plays —or not.

James and Curry carried theirclubs through the fourth quarter,trading scores and assists in aback-and-forth duel in front of asellout crowd of 19,596 — mostwearing those blinding, goldenyellow shirts. Both also had achance to win the game in regu-lation.

Curry, the current MVP, beatIrving off the dribble and movedin for the go-ahead layup.Instead, Irving blocked Curryfrom behind, Smith came up withthe rebound and the Cavs calleda timeout with 24.1 seconds left.

James, trying to endCleveland's 51-year champi-onship drought, dribbled downthe clock and missed a contestedjumper over Andre Iguodala justinside the left arc, and ImanShumpert's desperation shotnearly went in at the buzzer,sending a collective sigh throughthe crowd.

The Cavs never came so closeagain.

"I got to where I wanted toget, step back, made thembefore," James said. "It's a make

PAUL NEWBERRYAP Sports WriterWhile sidelined by an NCAA

investigation that threatened hislife's work, Jack Bauerle tried tomake the best of it.

He caught up on his reading. Hespent more time with family andfriends. He went on the surfing tripof a lifetime off the coast ofSumatra.

Yet, there was never any doubtwhere Georgia's longtime swimcoach really wanted to be.

Back on deck."This sport envelopes you," he

said. "You live and breathe whatthe kids do. Yeah, you're coaching

them, but they also become reallyimportant to you day to day. Youworry about them like your ownkids."

Bauerle is one of the nation'smost prominent swim coaches,

leading the U.S. women's team atthe 2008 Beijing Olympics. He hascoached the Georgia women since1979 and the men's program since1983, guiding the Lady Bulldogs tosix national championships.

There's a big blemish on thatimpeccable resume, however.

In early 2014, the school beganan investigation into whether hebroke NCAA rules by making spe-cial arrangements for star swim-mer Chase Kalisz to take an inde-pendent study class to maintainhis eligibility. For the better part ofa year, Bauerle was barred fromhis coaching job.

Finally last December, the

NCAA ruled that Bauerle "did notpromote an atmosphere for com-pliance," issued a public repri-mand and censure, and put restric-tions on recruiting.

It was a tough decision forBauerle to accept, but at least hegot to resume his job.

"No matter how secure youthink you are or how well youthink you're doing, you're only astep away from a whole differentscenario," Bauerle said ruefully.

Since returning as Georgia'scoach, Bauerle seems to havepicked up right where he left off.His women's team was runner-upto Missy Franklin's Cal Bears at the

NCAA championships. Over thenext year, he'll be getting ready forthe biggest meet of all — the 2016Rio Olympics.

"I know it's been tough witheverything he went through," saidAllison Schmitt, who won fivemedals at the 2012 London Gamesand swam for Bauerle during hercollege career. "I'm glad it'sresolved now and he's back ondeck coaching. It's something heloves and something he's great at."

Bauerle's troubles caught manypeople off guard, considering howwell his athletes have traditionallydone in the classroom. He is quickto recite some of the most impres-

sive achievements, such as havingmore post-graduate scholarshipwinners than any other school andconsistently having one of the topGPAs.

Clearly, he's still bothered bythe way the NCAA investigationwas handled, though reticent to gointo too much detail.

"It was pretty upsetting,"Bauerle said in a recent interview."It got pretty offensive in someways, being questioned aboutthings when people know whatI've stood for my entire life."

But he concedes there are

NEW YORK (AP) — Like a lotof athletes, American Pharoahhas his quirks.

The brown colt is easy to pickout on the racetrack: he's theone with the shortest tail.

American Pharoah will try tobecome horse racing's 12thTriple Crown winner and firstsince Affirmed in 1978 when heruns in the Belmont Stakes onSaturday.

Trainer Bob Baffert describesthe Kentucky Derby andPreakness winner as "a reallykind, sweet horse." That's anunusual temperament amongracehorses, most of which areaggressive due to their high-strung nature. The colt's favoritesnack is carrots, and he'll eatthem out of anyone's handaround the barn.

His sidekick is Smokey, themild-mannered stable pony thataccompanies American Pharoahto and from the track duringtraining.

Owner Ahmed Zayat bredAmerican Pharoah, the productof sire Pioneerof the Nile anddam Littleprincessemma, namedfor Zayat's youngest daughter.Zayat put American Pharoah upfor sale and then bought himback for $300,000. TheKentucky-bred colt has six winsin seven career starts and earn-ings of $3,730,300.

He stands 16.1 hands, or theequivalent of 5 feet, 3 inches atthe withers, and weighs 1,170pounds.

American Pharoah's runningstyle is on or near the lead, mak-ing him versatile for the grueling1 ½-mile Belmont, a distancemost 3-year-olds have never runand won't again.

Here are some more quirks toknow about American Pharoah:

EAR PLUGSYep, he's sensitive to sound.

Baffert found that out inAmerican Pharoah's first careerrace at Del Mar, where he gotagitated in the paddock. Now thecolt doesn't leave his stall unless

he has his ear plugs in. Baffertinitially stuffed white cottonballs in his ears, but it didn'tlook good so he purchased a setof plugs used on show horsesthat resemble a furry, brownmouse. Unless you look veryclosely, you won't see them.Baffert thought the plugs wouldget soggy during the rain-soakedPreakness, but they actuallyhelped keep water out of thehorse's ears.

LEFT FRONT SHOEAmerican Pharoah wears a

protective plate on the sole ofhis left front foot while racingand training. The plate, whichgoes under the horseshoe, pro-tects the triangular frog in hishoof and acts as a shock

absorber when his foot hits theground. Baffert said he startedusing the plate after AmericanPharoah bruised the frog inFebruary. In the Rebel Stakes inMarch, the colt lost his rightfront shoe, and in the ArkansasDerby in April, he bent his leftfront shoe leaving the startinggate. Neither incident affectedhis results; he won both races bya combined 14 ¼ lengths.Baffert downplays any issuewith the foot. "He has a very effi-cient, fluid stride," the trainersaid. "He's a very sound horse."

SHORT TAILAs the story goes, another

horse chewed the end ofAmerican Pharoah's tail off dur-ing his days on a farm near

Ocala, Florida, where he lived asa 2-year-old. The result was atail that is much shorter thanmost thoroughbreds. A YouTubevideo spoof set to the hit song"All About That Bass" highlightsthe colt's tail.

MISSPELLED NAMEThe Zayat family likes involv-

ing fans in the naming of theirnewborn thoroughbreds. Afemale fan submitted the nameAmerican Pharoah through anonline contest, the family liked itand never noticed the mis-spelling of Pharoah until it wastoo late. The correct spelling ispharaoh, which is an Egyptianruler. Zayat is from Egypt andliked the name because it refer-enced his heritage.

things he should have done differ-ently. Specifically, he shouldn'thave called a professor directly todiscuss Kalisz's status, since theNCAA considers that an extra bene-fit not afforded other students.

"If I could go back in time ...maybe I would have encouragedhim to do it on his own," Bauerlesaid. "But that's really difficult forme. I'm not being flippant, butmany of my very best friends areprofessors. I speak with some ofthem every day. It's natural stuff.The biggest thing you have to real-ize, at no time was I trying to getsomething without doing the work.We were going to hold our stu-dent's feet to the fire."

Bauerle gets a gleam in his eyewhen he talks about what his ath-

letes have done in the classroomsince he returned. Maddie Locuswas picked as the SoutheasternConference's female scholar-ath-lete of the year. Another Georgiaswimmer, Nicolas Fink, was a final-ist for the award. The women'steam finished with a 3.5 overallgrade-point average, while themen's squad was not far back at 3.2.

"Yeah, there was a little bug inme to make sure we were at ourvery best academically this year,"the coach said. "I was pushing themhard."

Kalisz will be taking a year offfrom school to prepare for theOlympics but will return to Georgia to complete his degree insports management as soon as he'sfinished in Rio.

He knows Bauerle will insist onit.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A judge threw out a lawsuit over $1.65million in gambling debts against the owner of Kentucky Derbyand Preakness winner American Pharoah on Thursday, clearingthe issue days before the horse attempts to claim the first TripleCrown in 37 years.

A federal judge ruled the lawsuit against Ahmed Zayat was filedafter a six-year statute of limitations had expired in New Jersey.

"Justice always prevails," Zayat said in a phone interview withThe Associated Press. "I have said before these are all lies from Ato Z. And the judge ruled in our favor. Could not have happened ata better time."

In horse racing's biggest week, Zayat's colt is chasing the firstTriple Crown since 1978 when he races in the Belmont Stakes onSaturday.

Florida resident Howard Rubinsky sued Zayat last year, claim-ing Zayat owed him $1.65 million advanced for gambling betsplaced at offshore casinos.

According to court papers, Rubinsky and Zayat entered into apersonal services contract in 2003 and Rubinsky said he advancedZayat credit at a couple of casinos under the agreement that he'dbe paid back.
