McNutt, 90 DJFS seeks summer program participation Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services (DJFS) is looking to follow-up on a very successful year for their summer youth employment program and is encouraging interested youth to participate in this year’s program. The summer youth employment program allows area business to hire local low-income youth, ages 15-24, for the summer and to be completely reimbursed for the wages expended for the youth involved. According to Jamie Eplin, who works on youth services programs through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) at DJFS, while the department is seeking to place a total of 75 youth with the area’s employers invested in the program this year, DJFS is encouraging all needy individuals, age 15-24, to apply. “There are going to be kids that don’t qualify, there are going to be kids who change their minds, there always is,” Eplin said.”When we get down to the nitty-gritty and actually start hiring, there are kids who change their minds and decide that they don’t want to spend their summer working, so we need a lot of kids.” According to Eplin, the older youth who apply in the program, may start as early as May 15, while others can begin work at the end of the school year. All participants will maintain their employment through August 31. Deadline for applications is May 16, and, Eplin reported that See DJFS ‌| A3 Deputies, CPS investigate community drug tips Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com Stephanie Filson | Daily Tribune Baxter Harley Davidson will celebrate its new location near the Gallia County Industrial Park with a grand opening Saturday, May 11.

See OPENING |‌ A2 MEIGS COUNTY — Deputies have been busy this week investigating several children’s services tips. Meigs County County Sheriff Keith Wood reports that his office, along with Child Protective Services, responded to a call in Dexter on Monday, April 22, resulting in the arrest of Shane Caudil. Child Protective Services received information stating that Caudil had been collecting the materials needed to produce methamphetamine and intended to produce it at his home where his wife and two children reside. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Caudil had attempted to produce methamphetamine but stated he was unable to do so successfully. Caudil also stated he had burnt the vessel used to mix the materials in his wood stove causing his home to be contaminated. Caudil was arrested and charged with assembly of meth making materials with other charges pending. Deputies also responded to a call on Dexter Road earlier in the week. The complaint came through children’s services by an anonymous caller stating that the home of Junior Campbell and Amanda Moore, along with their two children, contained a meth lab and a large amount of marijuana growing under the trailer. Upon investigation, Deputies discovered a small grow room hidden under the trailer containing 19 marijuana plants. Deputies also found a container containing what is believed to be methamphetamine.

The new service area will give the employees more room to work on bikes and it also has more equipment for the different projects. Repair work is a key part of the business, as customers come from all across Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, and some from as a far away as Michigan to have their bikes serviced at Baxter’s Harley Davidson. Owner Ben Baxter and the other employees do excellent work on the bikes, and they also are accessible to the customers, Kathy Baxter said.

Marion told students her life as a child before the war was a good life, a normal life which included a mother, father, brother and two grandparents. Her family, which were Jewish, lived in Bremen above the shoe store her father owned but they lived during a time of growing, statesanctioned discrimination and outright hatred of Jews. Her grandparents both passed away at different times in 1938 - a year Marion, and countless other Jews in Europe, can never forget. Marion was four years old on Nov. 9, 1938 which was Kristallnacht, or “Night of Broken Glass” — a series of attacks on Jews and Jewish-owned businesses, synagogues and other establishments. Kristallnacht is viewed by some historians as the beginning of the Nazi’s “final solution” to eliminate the Jews. Marion’s father, who had been awarded the military Iron Cross from the German army for his service in World War I, was forced to leave the country he served for Holland, his family in tow. This was the beginning of a journey of uncertainty for the Blumenthals which would go on another six years. In Holland, the family lived in a deportation camp to await extradition to America. Tickets were purchased to make passage across the Atlantic but in May 1940, one month before being deported to the United States, the Germans invaded Holland. Those who were in the Guess Who Turned the Big "50" on April 27th 60412447 deportation camp had the majority of their belongings burned, and they were then to be transported to a German concentration camp. Marion recalled being placed on the train for the camp with German guards shouting at them and what she called “vicious” German Shepherds at their sides, guards in the towers and electrified fence surrounding it all — surrounding an “area of complete misery.” Her family eventually ended up at the BergenBelsen concentration camp. She said women were on one side of the camp, men on the other which meant she and her mother were separated from her brother and father. Marion recalled sleeping in crude, wooden barracks which were made for 100 people though 600 were sharing them during bitter cold German winters — winters with only a blanket and some straw to bed down on. The toilets were long, wooden benches with no privacy, and there was no soap, no water, no trees, flowers or grass either, as she recalled. Each morning at the concentration camp, all prisoners were forced to line up — a process which could take hours. There was no medical care, and people were forced to use their own urine to try and sterilize wounds. Food consisted of a soup made of turnips, potato peels and bread once a week — sometimes prisoners saved their bread for special occasions, like birthdays. Then, once a month, Marion said they were taken to shower, and there was an uncertainty as to whether water or gas would come pouring out of the shower heads. She said there was no way to really describe the filth, the odor, the horror and the fear of being surrounded by death each day — she called it “indescribable.” She told the students she could recount her story to them because it was like relaying a “bad dream”, and that’s how she dealt with it. She also spoke about how she dealt with the despair and uncertainty of life in the camp as a child. She created her own games and used her imagination to survive. One particular game she played every day with determination. The game required she search for four perfect pebbles of almost exactly the same size and shape to represent her four family members. If she found these four pebbles each day, she knew it meant her family would stay alive, and she said she made it her business to find those pebbles without fail. The game gave her hope. One day, Marion’s mother had secretly gotten some potatoes from the kitchen where she worked and brought them back to the barracks. In hiding, the two created a soup and just as it was beginning to boil, guards burst into the barracks, and the ruckus caused the soup to spill, scolding Marion’s leg. Marion knew if she cried out, it would cost them their lives, so she remained silent, hiding the soup and the pain. It was soon after this that prisoners in the camp were loaded up on to three trains en route to the gas chambers. Marion and her family were amongst 2,500 people who were on the last of the three trains. A trip that should’ve taken several hours ended up taking two weeks due to the Allies advancing on German troops to end the war. These two weeks, Marion and her family went without food or water, and her leg became severely infected. Malnourishment, dehydration, lice and typhus were running rampant. Then, one day, the German soldiers started asking prisoners on the train for their clothing to disguise themselves from the Allies. Soon after, the Russian army liberated the train and Marion and her family. Marion was 10 years old and weighed 35 pounds. Her mother weighed 60 pounds. Six weeks after liberation, in the spring of 1945, Marion’s father died of typhus. Eventually, Marion, her mother and brother were able to use the tickets purchased 10 years earlier for their boat ride to America. She recalled to the students how she, along with countless others on the boat, stood on the ship’s deck as they passed the Statue of Liberty; how to this day, when she’s traveling near her home in New York, she always turns her head on the Verrazano Bridge to get a glimpse of Lady Liberty. Marion and her family eventually ended up in Peoria, Ill. She couldn’t speak English, and at 13 years old, she was placed in a classroom with fourth graders. She said she worked hard to catch up with her peers and graduated high school at age 18. She went on to attend Bradley University, worked in the medical field, married her husband Nathaniel Lazan and had a family — a family which includes children, grandchildren and a great-grandchild. Marion began speaking about her Holocaust experiences in 1979, and then in 1996 her memoir “Four Perfect Pebbles” was published. In addition, a PBS documentary on her experience, “Marion’s Triumph” has been made. “Despite all the terrible things, my life today is full and rewarding,” Marion told the PPJ/SHS students this week. She held up the yellow Star of David patch she wore on her sweater for all those years in the camps. She said the Star of David was a beautiful symbol that was instead used by the Nazis to denigrate and isolate Jewish people — to “set us apart.” This led into her message of showing tolerance towards one another despite our differences. “It must begin in our own home,” she said about tolerance. She asked the students to be true to themselves, to be kind to others, to not generalize or judge others and to “prevent our past from becoming our future.” She then retrieved a photo of her late mother who died at the age of 104 this past December. She placed the photo on a chair behind the podium where she gave her speech — as if her mother was in the audience with her, bearing witness. “God gives us beautiful minds to allow us to choose right from wrong, good from evil,” she said. “Be kind, good, respectful and tolerant of one another — this is the basis for peace.” For more on Marion’s story, go to Fourperfectpebbles.com or find Marion on Facebook.

Member SIPC. Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A3 Local Boston Strong Run set for Sunday Register Staff PPRnews@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT —Local runners will honor the victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon tragedy with a Boston Strong Run on Sunday, April 28. The informal run starts at 2 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church in Point Pleasant. Organizers are encouraging all local runners in the tri-county area to join them for what’s been called the “Boston Strong Mason, Gallia, Meigs Run.” The Boston Strong Run is part of a movement across the country to remember and honor the victims of the recent tragedy. The run will also serve as a way to honor all of the Boston police and first responders that worked countless hours in dealing with the Boston Marathon events. The Boston Strong Run is a way for the local running community to show Boston it stands behind them. Participants are encouraged to wear blue and yellow, the colors of the Boston Marathon as well. Donations will not be collected at the run, but organizers encourage everyone to donate to One Fund Boston. More information on the fund can be found here: https://onefundboston. org/. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino announced the formation of The One Fund Boston, Inc. to help the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013. With several cities across the country already having organized informal Boston Strong runs, local runners felt they needed to do something for the tri-county area. Judge dismisses portions of lawsuit against Athens County 911 Parts of a lawsuit filed against Athens County 911 by a former employee have been dismissed, but the case will move forward on other portions of her complaint. In February, Crystal Richards filed a lawsuit in Athens County Common Pleas Court against Athens County 911 Communications, claiming that she had been fired without due process and that she was fired because of her gender and past efforts at unionizing 911’s parttime employees. She also asserts that “baseless” allegations of sexual harassment were made against her, and that she has been defamed. Richards was hired as a parttime employee of 911 in 2010, and became a fulltime employee in 2011. She was fired less than six months later. In a recent ruling, Judge Michael Ward dismissed parts of the case in response to a motion to dismiss from the defense. Richards claims in the lawsuit that her firing violated public policy, but also says in the court case that she was a classified public employee. “…The court … holds that a classified public employee is not an at-will employee and (Richards) may not avail herself of the public policy-based cause of action,” Ward ruled. Richards also makes an allegation of malicious discharge, but Ward agreed with the defense argument that in Ohio malicious discharge by itself is not a claim for which relief can be granted. DJFS From Page A1 all youth who have been accepted into the program must go through a short orientation in early June where they will learn job preparedness skills, such as dressing for success and resume writing, as well as application skills and interviewing techniques. This “mini job fair” for the youth participating in the program will help them prepare for the application and interviewing process that they will be directed to go through with each respective business this summer, as in a real-world situation, specifically for the learning experience. “They go through the whole process just like they were applying for a job out in the ‘real world,’” Eplin said. “They need to know what the process is like. So, even if I may know that this kid is going to be hired by this employer when I send them, they still have to go through an interview, so they know what it feels like and they don’t know if they are going to get it.” Additionally, Eplin stated that there are a myriad of jobs in which the youth who participate in the program may be hired, including office and receptionist work to mowing lawns and some farm-type jobs. Eplin further reported that, even though DJFS currently has several employers participating in this year’s program, they are always seeking new employers interested in the program. “We have plenty of employers this year and we have several new large employers that we are very, very excited about, but we are always looking for more employers, so if there are any that are interested, they can contact me,” she stated. Children and young adults who participate will receive wages ranging from $7.85 to $10 per hour and employers participating in the program will be reimbursed for these wages by DJFS on a monthly basis. Employers are also encouraged to hire their summer worker full-time, according to Eplin. “I encourage full-time, especially for the older kids,” Eplin said. “The really young ones, the 15-year-olds, we don’t really push more than 30 hours or so per week.” In addition, Eplin reported that participants in the program, especially those who participate during multiple summers, have the opportunity to not only experience several different types of jobs, but also the opportunity to actually get hired by the employer on more than just a temporary basis. “We lose kids because the employers will just keep them, especially the older ones. It is a good chance for them,” she stated. To be eligible in the program, kids age 15-17 must be a minor child in a needy family and in school. Youth who are age 18 and still in school can also qualify. Young adults ages 1824, who are not in school, are eligible as long as they are in a needy family that also has a minor child or have a minor child and are considered a needy family. Eplin further reported that nearly all foster children will qualify in the program, and, in addition, non-custodial parents may also have their children qualify in the program if they are considered needy and have a minor child. “Needy” families in this particular program are defined under the 200 percent federal poverty level. The 2013, 200 percent federal poverty level rates are as followed and are based upon monthly income: household of one — $1,915; household of two — $2,585; household of three — $3,255; household of four — $3,925; household of five — $4,595; household of six — $5,265; household of seven — $5,935; household of eight — $6,605. While Eplin reported that she cannot guarantee that all the youth who participate in the program will be a great fit for each respective employer, but, overall, the response to the program has been positive. “I can’t guarantee that the kids are going to be great workers. We try to get them ready and let the kids know what they are getting into and what they are going to be dealing with, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out, just like any job, but ultimately the employer has the final say in who they hire,” Eplin stated. “We do, how- ever, have employers who literally ask for kids back because they’ve had such a good experience with them. So, that makes us feel good.” The program is funded through the TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) funds, and, while summer youth employment program funding has been awarded to Gallia County over the past several years, funding is not guaranteed. However, Eplin reported that she is hopeful that such a successful program will continue in the coming years. “It such a good program and it really gives them a lot,” Eplin said. “A lot of these kids are really low income kids and a lot of them are so tickled and whenever we talk at the end of the summer they are so excited about getting to take a paycheck and go shopping for school clothes on their own. That means so much. It’s pretty cool to see it. “As long as we have money, we will hire kids,” she said. Interested youth can pick up an application Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services, 848 Third Avenue, Gallipolis.

Page A4 Sunday, April 28, 2013 Letters to the Editor: Reader pleased with Portman’s stance on gun control Dear Editor, I am an Ohioan and am proud of Rob Portman voting against having a debate in the senate on the issue surrounding violence and gun control. Our elected officials should represent the people who elected them. They are there to represent the people not a party line. As for background checks, why go to the waste of time writing them or gun or any kind of laws. Since the ones we have never get used to the fullest to prosecute violators. Also I have not been able to find this overwhelming percentage of people in favor of gun control and bans. Not sure where the media and people find them. Our founding fathers wrote the citizens have the right to bear arms and were referring to ones of the times. Now is just a different time which has different arms but that’s technology. Our founding fathers were ahead of their times, and I think they are still ahead of what the world has to offer now. There is good in the world and also bad. Let’s prosecute and punish the bad to the fullest so there will be an incentive to be good. Carl Saunders Gallipolis, Ohio NRA member addresses the ‘big lie’ Dear Editor, In Sunday’s paper, a writer from Columbus expressed his shame and had to hang his head because he couldn’t believe that Sen. Rob Portman had the nerve to vote against the gun control debate in the U.S. Senate. He adds in his letter that 90 percent of Americans, gun owners and NRA members are in favor of “universal” background checks. I have to wonder who supplied him with his poll numbers. Perhaps it was Sarah Brady, or Dianne Feinstein or Chuck Schumer. I have been an NRA member for 35 years and a life member for a good part of that time. The only NRA member that I know of that is in favor of passing more regulations on law abiding Americans is Joe Manchin. When someone helps to spread the “big lie”, such as the aforementioned poll numbers, it’s up to someone else to refute the numbers. That is what I’m doing because the more times a lie gets told and goes unchallenged, it becomes believable to a lot of people. Check out 1930s Germany for an example. At the end of his letter, he wonders how Portman would vote if his son had been killed with an assault rifle at the age of 6. That is just about the most asinine, stupid statement ever made. Parents just lost their children in the Boston Marathon bombing. None more heartbreaking than the loss of an 8-year-old boy. Should those parents feel better because their kids died as a result of bombs instead of gunfire? You know better. Bryan Shank Pomeroy, Ohio More than a character Aimee Wilson Special to Point Pleasant Register Every small town has their “characters” that stand out due to their quirky habits. Our town has several. One in particular I would categorize more like a celebrity than just a character. Rodney Bonecutter, aka Speedy, is the sort of fellow that you might fear when you first see him. However, looks can be deceiving, you know. Yes, he’s different. Regardless of weather conditions, he wears a camouflage army jacket and hat. When he walks down the street he looks like a man on a mission as he quickly darts down the sidewalk (hence the nickname Speedy) and he is careful not to step on cracks. When he reaches his destination, which is usually the corner of Sixth and Viand Streets, he raises his imaginary “Elephant Gun” and begins to shoot cars which he claims are wild animals. When you speak to Rodney you may notice that he looks at the ground or maybe he doesn’t speak back to you, but you shouldn’t take it personally. I have known him for 17 years and he just started speaking directly to me eight years ago. Rodney is a shy fellow and is very cautious of others he doesn’t know. Once he gets to know you, you will be surprised to find that underneath that Great White Hunter Exterior he is a sweet, kind soul with a great sense of humor. He has a childlike voice and an enthusiasm for life much like a young kid. He loves camo, candy, Christmas presents and elephant hunting.

In reality, Rodney has a place to live but feels most at home in our building. Even though he sometimes comes inside, he mostly sits on the back steps under the shelter of the awning surveying the people that come and go. Occasionally, he even enjoys his meals from his perch. He is protected and cared for by the wonderful people in the Mason County Sheriff’s Department and with some help from all of us that work in that building. Let me rephrase that statement. Rodney is actually protecting and caring for us and I personally feel a little safer with him standing guard, not to say that our security guards aren’t doing a good job. As I said before, Rodney can be a tough nut to crack. It took a long time before he would initiate conversation with me. It started off with just a sheepish “Hi” in response to “Good Morning Rodney.” Then one day I offered to buy him a soft drink from the soda machine. After that when he’d see me coming near that same soda machine, he’d look at it and back at me, trying to telepathically plead with me to buy him another Coke. Then it developed into him, conversing with me but briefly because Rodney is a man of few words. One blustery, winter day he shocked me. As I headed up the back steps to go into work, I jokingly said “Rodney why did you have to make it so cold out here?” That’s when I heard it - his giggle. It melted my heart. From then on that was my goal, to make Rodney laugh. I did it again a Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. few days ago. Actually he made me laugh first. It was quite warm outside and as I came back from lunch, there was Rodney on the steps wearing that thick camo coat, but he had taken off his socks and shoes to get cool. I couldn’t help but find the humor in it. I said “Rodney, all you need out here now is your own pool.” I don’t know why he thought that was funny but he belly laughed and I felt like I had accomplished Rodney Bonecutter something big in life.

Stocks stall on tepid US economic growth NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market stalled Friday after the U.S. economy didn’t grow as much as hoped and earnings from a handful of big companies failed to rev up investors. The economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, the government said. That was below the 3.1 percent forecast by economists. The shortfall reinforced the perception that the economy is grinding, rather than charging, ahead. Investors have also been troubled by reports in the last month of weaker hiring, slower manufacturing and a drop in factory orders. Many economists see growth slowing to an annual rate of around 2 percent a year for the rest of the year. U.S. government bonds, where investors seek safety, rose after the report. “There are some concerns as we head into the summer,” said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist for TD Ameritrade. “In the last three weeks, we’ve seen numbers that weren’t exactly what you’d love to see.” Corporate earnings this week have also contained worrisome signs. Many companies missed revenue forecasts from financial analysts, even as they reported higher quarterly profits. Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A5 For example, Goodyear Tire slipped 3.3 percent to $12.51 Friday after revenue fell short of analysts’ estimates, hurt by lower global tire sales. Of the companies that have reported earnings so far, 70 percent have exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, compared with a 10year average of 62 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ. But 43 percent have missed revenue estimates. Just over half of the companies in the S&P 500 have reported quarterly results. The S&P 500 index dropped 2.92 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 1,582.24. The Dow rose 11.75 points, or 0.1 percent, to 14,712.55. The index got a big lift from Chevron. Profit for the U.S. oil company beat expectations of financial analysts in the first quarter, pushing shares up 1.3 percent to $120.04.

Boston suspect officially moved; FBI searches landfill BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhohkar Tsarnaev was moved from a hospital to a federal prison medical center while FBI agents shifted the focus of their investigation to how the deadly plot was pulled off and searched for evidence Friday in a landfill near the college he attended. Tsarnaev, 19, was taken from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was recovering from a throat wound and other injuries suffered during an attempt to elude police last week, and was transferred to the Federal Medical Center Devens, about 40 miles from Boston, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The facility, at a former Army base, treats federal prisoners. “It’s where he should be; he doesn’t need to be here anymore,” said Beth Israel patient Linda Zamansky, who thought his absence could reduce stress on bombing victims who have been recovering at the hospital under tight security. The FBI’s investigation of the April 15 bombing has turned from identification and apprehension of suspects to piecing together details of the plot, including how long the planning took, how it was carried out and whether anyone else knew or was involved. A federal law enforcement official not authorized to speak on the record about the investigation told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Friday that the FBI was gathering evidence regarding “everything imaginable.” FBI agents picked through a landfill near the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where Tsarnaev was a sophomore. FBI spokesman Jim Martin would not say what investigators were looking for. An aerial photo in Friday’s Boston Globe showed a line of more than 20 investigators, all dressed in white overalls and yellow boots, picking over the garbage with shovels or rakes. U.S. officials, meanwhile, said that the bombing suspects’ mother had been added to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the deadly attack — a disclosure that deepens the mystery around the Tsarnaev family and marks the first time American authorities have acknowledged that Zubeidat Tsarnaeva was under investigation before the tragedy. The news is certain to fuel questions about whether President Barack Obama’s administration missed opportunities to thwart the marathon bombing, which killed three people and wounded more than 260. Tsarnaev is charged with joining with his older brother, now dead, in setting off the shrapnelpacked pressure-cooker bombs. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. Investigators have said it appears that the brothers were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Two government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, said the CIA had Zubeidat Tsarnaeva’s name added to the terror database along with that of her son Tamerlan Tsarnaev after Russia contacted the agency in 2011 with concerns that the two were religious militants. BURIED in CREDIT CARDDEBT? Advocates eye legalizing marijuana in Alaska JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska, known for its live-andlet-live lifestyle, is poised to become the next battleground in the push to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. The state has a complicated history with the drug, with its highest court ruling nearly 40 years ago that adults have a constitutional right to possess and smoke marijuana for personal use in their own homes. In the late 1990s, Alaska became one of the first states to allow the use of pot for medicinal reasons. Then the pendulum swung the other direction, with residents in 2004 rejecting a ballot effort to legalize recreational marijuana. And in 2006, the state passed a law criminalizing possession of even small amounts of the drug — leaving the current state of affairs somewhat murky. Supporters of recreational marijuana say attitudes toward pot have softened in the past decade, and they believe they have a real shot at success in Alaska. The state is reviewing their request to begin gathering signatures to get an initiative on next year’s ballot. The proposal would make it legal for those 21 and older to use and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, though not in public. It also would set out provisions for legal grow operations and establish an excise tax. It’s a significantly different version of the failed 2004 ballot effort that would’ve allowed adults 21 and older to use, grow, sell or give away marijuana or hemp products without penalty under state law. “The whole initiative, you can tell, is scaled down to be as palatable as possible,” said one of the sponsors, Bill Parker. If the initiative application is accepted, backers will have until January, before the next legislative session starts, to gather the more than 30,000 signatures required to qualify the measure for the primary ballot. The effort could determine whether the pendulum swings back. The Alaska Supreme Court, in its landmark 1975 decision, found possession of marijuana by adults at home for personal use is constitutionally protected as part of their basic right to privacy, though the court made clear it didn’t condone the use of pot. The laws tightened again with a 2006 state law criminalizing marijuana possession. The American Civil Liberties Union sued, saying the law conflicted with the 1975 ruling. The state maintained marijuana had become more intoxicating than in the 1970s, a point disputed by ACLU. But the high court, in 2009, declined to make a finding, concluding any challenge to the law must await an actual prosecution. Parker said the lack of clarity regarding marijuana possession is a problem, but he noted police aren’t exactly peeking into people’s homes to see if they have the drug. Deputy Attorney General Richard Svobodny said in an email that home-use marijuana cases in Alaska are few because authorities have no reason to get a search warrant unless something else is going on inside a house that attracts their attention. The proposed initiative includes language that says it’s not intended to diminish the right to privacy interpreted in the 1975 case. But it notes that case is not a “blanket protection for marijuana possession,” said Mason Tvert, a spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project. “In order to have a system where individuals can go to a store, buy an ounce of marijuana, drive home, and enjoy it at home, it is necessary to make up to an ounce of marijuana entirely legal,” Tvert said. Alaska is one of many states mulling changes to marijuana laws. Last fall, voters in Colorado and Washington state passed initiatives legalizing, taxing and regulating recreational marijuana. This year, bills were filed in more than half the states to enact a medical marijuana law, decriminalize or reduce penalties for simple possession, or to tax and regulate marijuana for adult use, according to the Marijuana Policy Project. However, many of those proposals died, stalled or will be carried over. Tvert said his group is working to promote initiatives allowing recreational marijuana in a handful of other states, including California, Oregon, Maine and Nevada. He thinks those states will be ready to pass such a measure in 2016. “Ultimately we are starting to see the marijuana policy debate shift away from whether marijuana should be allowed or prohibited and toward how we will treat it,” Tvert said. The U.S. Justice Department has not said how it will respond to the laws in Washington and Colorado. A bipartisan group of congressmen, including Alaska’s lone U.S. House member, Don Young, recently introduced legislation that would ensure the federal government respects stat e marijuana laws. For the Republican Young, it’s a states’ rights issue, his spokesman said by email. Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell, who consistently has fought the feds when he believes they’ve overstepped their bounds, supports a state’s right to establish its own laws and appreciates Young’s effort, Parnell spokeswoman Sharon Leighow said. But he also considers marijuana a “gateway drug that can lead to more serious patterns of substance abuse and criminal offenses,” she said by email. He has not stated his position on the proposed initiative. ANNUAL SOCCER SHOOT! sponsored by: Elks Lodge #107 & The University of Rio Grande Soccer Program Saturday, May 4th 9am - noon O.O.

The Point Pleasant softball team avenged its only home loss of the regular season Thursday night during a 9-5 victory over host Sissonville in a non-conference matchup in Kanawha County. The Lady Knights (15-7) — who were 6-1 at home this spring — never trailed in the contest, as the guests broke a five-all tie with four runs in the top of the fifth to secure the four-run triumph. The decision also allowed PPHS to avenge a 6-5 setback to the Lady Indians (12-12) back on March 28 in Point Pleasant. The Lady Knights led 3-2 after an inning of play, then extended their lead to 4-2 through two before each squad tacked on a run in the third for a 5-3 contest. SHS, however, answered with two runs on two hits and an error in the bottom of the fourth — tying the game up at fiveall. Bekah Darst led off the top of the fifth with a triple and Karissa Cochran was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners, then Makenzie Higginbotham delivered a two-RBI single to give PPHS a permanent lead at 7-5. Kaci Riffle singled in Higgin- botham one batter later for an 8-5 edge, and Riffle later scored on an RBI double by Madison Barker to complete the scoring at 9-5. The Lady Knights outhit the hosts by an 11-7 overall margin and committed all three errors in the contest. Both teams stranded six runners on base. Barker was the winning pitcher of record after allowing five runs (two earned), seven hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out nine. Rebekah Baldwin took the loss for SHS after surrendering nine runs, 11 hits and two walks over seven frames while fanning six. Cochran, Higginbotham and Riffle each had two hits apiece for the Lady Knights, who have won three straight decisions. Darst, Barker, Kelly Belcher, Megan Davis and Kaitlin Liptrap added a safety apiece to the winning cause. Cochran scored a team-best three times in the decision, followed by Higginbotham with two runs scored and a team-high two RBIs. Davis also hit a solo home run with two outs in the second inning. Katelyn Linville and Alexee Haynes each had two hits to lead Sissonville, followed by Baldwin, Karli Pinkerton and Jamie Holmes with a safety apiece. Pinkerton scored twice in the setback.

Point Pleasant vanquishes Vikings, 12-1 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com RIPLEY, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant baseball team claimed its second straight victory and also managed a season sweep of host Ripley in the process Friday night during a 12-1 victory in a non-conference matchup at Ray Swisher Field in Jackson County. The visiting Big Blacks (15-9) outhit the Vikings by a sizable 15-1 overall margin and claimed an insurmountable 11-0 advantage through three innings of play. PPHS added an insurance run in the fifth for its biggest lead of the night at 12-0, but Ripley plated its only run in the bottom of the fifth — thanks to an error and a ground out. The Vikings — who committed four of the five errors in the contest — stranded just three runners on base, while the guests left a total of eight on the bags. Point Pleasant led 2-0 after an inning of play and were up 3-0 through two complete. The Big Blacks then sent a dozen batters to the plate in the third frame, which resulted in eight runs on eight hits, a walk and an error. PPHS started that rally with seven hitters reaching base safely before the first out of the inning was made. Levi Russell provided a oneout single in the fifth and later scored on Ripley’s final error of the night making it a 12-0 contest. Issac Koontz led off the bottom of the fifth by reaching on an error, then later scored on a ground out to first by Alex Hambrick to pull the hosts to within 11. Evan Potter was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one unearned run, one hit GRAND OPENING and two walks over five innings while striking out four. Trevor Tucker took the loss after surrendering three runs (one earned), four hits and zero walks over 1.2 frames while fanning zero. Lukas Layhew worked one-third of an inning of relief and Jared Bumpus threw three frames of relief for RHS. Russell and Kodi Stranahan each led Point Pleasant with three hits apiece, followed by Alex Somerville and Trevor Porter with two safeties apiece. Potter, Austen Toler, Tylun Campbell, Josh Hudson and Jacob Gardner also had a hit each for the victors. Somerville and Stranahan each drove in two RBIs for the guests, while Toler, Campbell, Russell and Porter added an RBI apiece. Somerville, Hudson and Porter also scored two runs each for Point Pleasant. Trevor Tucker provided the lone Ripley hit with a leadoff single in the fourth. The Vikings managed only five baserunners in the contest, three of which came in the bottom of the fifth inning.

When comparing the number of enemy’s taken captive and killed and the number of enemy settlements abandoned, Cornstalk’s campaign has been stated to have been one of the most successful of all American Indian operations in western Virginia. His experience from this campaign reportedly sharpened his war and alliance buildings skills, which later made him a formidable opponent in Dunmore’s War, an excellent peacemaker following that war, and an American ally during the beginning of the American Revolution. Kicking off the series from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., on May 4 will be an event at Kanawha State Forest near Charleston, featuring a tour led by an interpreter who will discuss the Shawnee knowledge of native plant uses, highlighting medicinal uses, edible plants, or other uses. The tour will also highlight the treatment of prisoners on the campaign trail, as well as long-distance traveling, since the campaign circuit was between 300 and 500 miles long. Interpreters will also discuss the various Civil War strategies and practices as they were passed on from Shawnee to Virginians. Next up on the agenda will be the event at TuEndie-Wei State Park in Point Pleasant, from 10 Photos by Nathan Jeffers | Daily Tribune Pictured are two of the memorial monuments at Tu-Endie-Wei State Park. a.m. to 3 p.m., on June 1. Here, re-enactors will highlight Shawnee women’s and men’s social roles, with a special focus on Cornstalk’s sister, Nonhelema, and her role following the 1763 campaign. There will also be a PowerPoint presentation at Fort Randolph Terrace, which will include information on Shawnee culture and history, and interpreters will also lead a walk along the Point Pleasant Riverfront Park floodwall, and discuss the historical events depicted in the frescoes. It was also reported that on June 1 at Fort Randolph there will be the Eastern Woodland Indian Gathering, where there will be demonstrations of East Woodland Indian skills, which is open to the public all day. The final part the “UnCivil War” series will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 7, at Hawks Nest State Park, near Ansted in Fayette County. Finishing off the series, this event will also feature interpreters focusing on the different Shawnee social roles, as well as agriculture, gathering practices, and a walk discussing various plant uses. Prisoner treatment will also Pictured is Cornstalk’s gravesite at Tu-Endie-Wei State Park. be highlighted, as well as inherited war tactics. According to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, this series will be an “once-in-alifetime opportunity to learn of the cultural differences leading to conflict between the Shawnees and Trans-Allegheny Virginians in 1763. The opportunity to interpret Cornstalk’s Raid in an audience-interactive, multifaceted manner, with an unbiased treatment of all sides in the conflict, will never be better.” For more on this series of events, visit www. wvstateparks.com. Events are also set for 7-9 p.m. on June 19, at Lake Sherwood Recreation Area, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sandstone Visitor Center of the New River Gorge National River. For more on these events, contact Lake Sherwood at 304-5362144 or the National Park Service at 304-466-0417. In addition to these events, other annual events featuring Cornstalk and other local history are also set throughout the summer. For more information and a schedule of events, visit www. masoncountytourism.org. Tu-Endie-Wei State Park will be one of several parks hosting part of “The Roots of Un-Civil War” series this summer, commemorating the 250th anniversary of Cornstalk’s campaign. Pictured are statues of Cornstalk and General Andrew Lewis at the Point Pleasant Riverfront Park, with the history depicting frescoes behind them on the flood wall.

SD museum adds Elvis’ guitar to vast collection VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — A 16thcentury Amati violoncello displayed in the National Music Museum has long been nicknamed “The King,” but the ghost of a legendary rock ‘n’ roller has arrived in South Dakota to reclaim his regal moniker. A slightly smashed acoustic guitar played by Elvis Presley on his final tour in 1977 now greets visitors in front of the museum’s main galleries. The Martin D-35 was tossed aside by “The King” during a St. Petersburg, Fla., concert after suffering a broken strap and string, said Robert Johnson, a Memphis-based guitarist who donated the item. “He broke the strap and at the same time he broke a string,” said Johnson, noting Presley’s frustration. “He tosses it straight up in the air and it just comes down.” Johnson, who played with singer Isaac Hayes and the band John Entwistle’s Ox in the 1970s, donated the Elvis guitar and four other celebrity items to the National Music Museum, which is tucked away in an old Carnegie library building on the University of South Dakota campus. The museum’s trustees also purchased Johnson’s 1967 Gibson Explorer Korina wood guitar, formerly owned by Entwistle, who’s best known as a member of The Who. Johnson, a longtime collector, also donated a Chet Atkins hollow body guitar given to country pianist Floyd Cramer and later played by Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley, a 1966 custom Grammer guitar made for Johnny Cash, a 1961 Kay Value Leader guitar signed by blues legend Muddy Waters and one of Bob Dylan’s Hohner Marine Band harmonicas. “These instruments probably make the biggest splash of any celebrity things that we’ve had before,” said museum director Cleveland Johnson. “We have some nice things, but this is a degree of magnitude higher.” Cleveland Johnson, who is not related to Robert Johnson, took over as director in November after the retirement of Andre Larson, who’d been at the helm since it was established in 1973. The museum’s holdings grew out of a private collection owned by Larson’s father, Arne B. Larson, who continually added items while serving as a public school music director. Robert Johnson said he owns some 600 guitars and another 2,000 to 3,000 artifacts, so he began discussions with Andre Larsen in 2010 to get involved with the museum. “I was trying to find a place to hoard the rest of my stuff so it could be in place,” said Johnson, 61. “It gets to be an overwhelming, oppressive burden to keep up with all this stuff.” The museum’s 800 or so instruments on public display are the superstars of a broader collection of more than 15,000 pianos, harpsichords, guitars, horns, drums and other musical items. It includes a rare Stradivarius violin with its original neck, saxophones built by inventor Adolphe Sax, and the earliest French grand piano known to survive, an ornate green and gold instrument built by Louis Bas in Villeneuve les Avignon in 1781. Cleveland Johnson said it has always been easy to drop names like Stradivari and Amati (whose centuries-old violins are considered the finest ever made) when he talks to people in classical music circles, but the new items will help the museum reach a different demographic. “The motorcycle guys rolling across the state on their way to Sturgis, this would be a nice detour,” he said. “Or a bus tour going from Sioux Falls to Memphis or down to Branson, this would be a perfect stop off on the way.” A $15 million expansion plan calls for tripling its 23,000 square feet of gallery space, improving the entrance and revamping the vast archives where music scholars can peruse the thousands of instruments and documents not on public display. The limited space has not only prevented instruments from getting their proper display, but also has hampered curators’ efforts to find creative and hands-on ways to program and teach visitors and school groups. Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C2 Area students awarded BREC scholarships RIO GRANDE — This spring Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative (BREC) judges met to conduct interviews with various seniors in high school to determine this year’s scholarship winners. Each year, the Cooperative holds their annual scholarship competition which allows students whose parents or legal guardians receive electric service from BREC to compete. Any boy or girl high school graduate of the 2013 class may participate. Contestants were judged in the areas of scholastic record, personal achievement, and school/community activities. The judges selected one boy and one girl with an alternate for each. Each first-place winner receives a $1,000 scholarship, while the alternate receives a $750 scholarship. BREC had an excellent field of entrants this year, which challenged the judges in selecting the recipients of the $1,000 and $750 scholarships. The first place $1,000 winner in the girl’s category was Megan Dyer of Meigs High School. Caleb Holderby of Symmes Valley High School won first place and a $1,000-scholarship in the boys division. The recipients of the $750 scholarships and alternates for the statewide contest were Brianna Shepherd of Wellston High School and Jacob Gilmore of River Valley High School. The 2013 Touchstone Energy ‘Special Achievement Scholarship’ winner was Kenneth (LB) Remy of Vinton County High School. Kenneth received a scholarship award of $1,000 towards his college education. The state-wide competition took place on Monday, April 8 in Columbus, Ohio. There, each student was interviewed by a panel of judges that consisted of business leaders throughout the state. Students were interviewed on their knowledge of the cooperative model and academic excellence. All of the students that competed did a wonderful job of represented themselves and Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative. Caleb Holderby from Symmes Valley High School placed fourth among the students and received an Ohio Rural Electric Cooperative scholarship award of $1,650 towards his college education.

Lars Bystrom, spokesman for the Stockholm police, told The Associated Press a small amount of drugs and a stun gun were discovered during a search of the bus, which had been parked under the Globen concert venue in Stockholm, where Bieber was performing Wednesday. Bystrom declined to identify the drug, saying that it was sent to a lab for analysis. He said no one was arrested since the bus was empty at the time of the search. Swedish police decided to act after smelling marijuana coming from inside the bus while it was parked outside the hotel where Bieber was staying in the Swedish capital. The drug squad searched the bus during the concert, Bystrom said. The incident is the latest in Bieber’s tumultuous European tour, which has included a monkey detention, a Holocaust museum furor and a health scare. In Britain, the 19-yearold singer struggled with his breathing and fainted backstage at a London show. He was taken to a hospital, only to be caught on camera clashing with paparazzi. In Germany, the Canadian teenage idol had to leave his monkey in quarantine since he didn’t have the necessary papers for the animal. In the Netherlands, Bieber became the focus of intense criticism for writing an entry into a guestbook at the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam, saying he hoped the Jewish teenager, who died in a Nazi concentration camp, “would have been a Belieber” — or fan of his — if her fate had turned out differently. The comment provoked a flood of comments on the museum’s Facebook page, with many people criticizing the singer for gross insensitivity. Anne Frank hid with her family in a small apartment above a warehouse during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Her family was caught and deported, and Anne died of typhus in BergenBelsen in 1945. She was 13 years old when she began keeping her diary in 1942. Like many teenage girls, she made a collage of the celebrities of her day — movie stars, dancers, and royalty — and kept it on her bedroom wall. In Norway, where Bieber enjoys enormous popularity, education officials in a remote district rescheduled midterm exams for high school students so that the singer’s fans could attend the concert in the capital and not have to worry about missing the tests. By Thursday afternoon, Bieber had left Sweden and was in Finland, where he is due to play in the capital Helsinki on Friday evening. Royals William, Kate and Harry have magic day out WATFORD, England (AP) — Britain’s young royals are having a magical day out with a visit to the studio where the “Harry Potter” movies were filmed. Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry are touring Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden near London, home to the Making of Harry Potter studio tour. The royals, accompanied by 500 children and adults from charities they support, are getting a wand lesson, visiting Hogwarts’ Great Hall and seeing props, costumes and models from the Potter series. William seemed taken with props from “The Dark Knight” Batman trilogy. “I’m a very happy man,” he joked after exploring the Batmobile and sitting astride Batpod motorcycle. Friday is the studio’s official opening, although it has already been used for films including “All You Need is Kill” with Tom Cruise. �Sunday, 28,28, 2013 SundayApril , april 2013 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 29, 2013: This year, you often are concerned about key people in your life.

US tourists survive ship sinking near St. Lucia SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The fishing trip off the rugged north coast of St. Lucia was supposed to last all day, but about four hours into the journey, the boat’s electric system crackled and popped. Dan Suski, a 30-year-old business owner and information technology expert from San Francisco, had been wrestling a 200-pound marlin in rough seas with help from his sister, Kate Suski, a 39-year-old architect of Seattle. He was still trying to reel in the fish when water rushed into the cabin and flooded the engine room, prompting the captain to radio for help as he yelled out their coordinates. Thus began an ordeal in which the siblings swam 14 hours to reach land. They lived to tell about it back in St. Lucia, safe but shaken. They recalled that the waves kept pounding the boat they had chartered from the local company “Reel Irie” in the eastern Caribbean island. It was April 21 around noon, and the trip was supposed to be a highlight of their sunny vacation. As more water flooded the boat, the captain threw life preservers to the Suskis. “He said, ‘Jump out! Jump out!’” Kate Suski recalled in a telephone interview Thursday with The Associated Press. The Suskis obeyed and jumped into the water with the captain and first mate. Less than five minutes later, the boat sank. The group was at least eight miles (13 kilometers) from shore, and waves more than twice their size tossed them. “The captain was telling us to stay together, and that help was on its way and that we needed to wait,” Kate Suski said. The group waited for about an hour, but no one came. “I was saying, ‘Let’s swim, let’s swim. If they’re coming, they will find us. We can’t just stay here,’” she recalled. As they began to swim, the Suskis lost sight of the captain and first mate amid the burgeoning swells. Soon after, they also lost sight of land amid the rain. “We would just see swells and gray,” Dan Suski said. A plane and a helicopter appeared in the distance and hovered over the area, but no one spotted the siblings. Several hours went by, and the sun began to set. “There’s this very real understanding that the situation is dire,” Kate Suski said. “You come face-to-face with understanding your own mortality … We both processed the possible ways we might die. Would we drown? Be eaten by a shark?” “Hypothermia?” Dan Suski asked. “Would our legs cramp up and make it impossible to swim?” the sister continued. They swam for 12 to 14 hours, talking as they pushed and shivered their way through the ocean. Dan Suski tried to ignore images of the movie “Open Water” that kept popping into his head and its story of a scuba-diving couple left behind by their group and attacked by sharks. His sister said she also couldn’t stop thinking about sharks. “I thought I was going to vomit I was so scared,” she said. When they finally reached in exhaustion within 30 feet (9 meters) of land, they realized they couldn’t get out of the water. “There were sheer cliffs coming into the ocean,” she said. “We knew we would get crushed.” Dan Suski thought they should try to reach the rocks anyway, but his sister disagreed. “We won’t survive that,” she told him. They swam until they noticed a spit of sand nearby. When they got to land, they collapsed, barely able to walk. It was past midnight, and they didn’t notice any homes in the area. “Dan said the first priority was to stay warm,” she recalled. They hiked inland and lay together, pulling up grass and brush to cover themselves and stay warm. Kate Suski had only her bikini on, having shed her sundress to swim better. Dan Suski shed his shorts, having recalled a saying when he was a kid that “the best-dressed corpses wear cotton.” They heard a stream nearby but decided to wait until daylight to determine whether the water was safe to drink. They heard a stream nearby but decided to wait until daylight to determine whether the water was safe to drink. As the sun came up, they began to hike through thick brush, picking up bitter mangoes along the way and stopping to eat green bananas. “It was probably the best and worst banana I’ve ever had,” Dan Suski recalled. Some three hours later, they spotted a young farm worker walking with his white dog. He fed them crackers, gave them water and waited until police arrived, the Suskis said. “We asked if he knew anything about the captain and mate,” Kate Suski said. “He said he had seen the news the night before and they hadn’t been found at that time. I think we felt a sense of tragedy that we weren’t prepared for.” The Suskis were hospitalized and received IV fluids, with doctors concerned they couldn’t draw blood from Kate Suski’s arm because she was so dehydrated. They also learned that the captain and mate were rescued after spending nearly 23 hours in the water, noting that their relatives called and took care of them after the ordeal. St. Lucia’s tourism minister called it a miracle, and the island’s maritime affairs unit is investigating exactly what caused the ship to sink. Marine Police Sgt. Finley Leonce said they have already interviewed the captain, and that police did not suspect foul play or any criminal activity in the sinking of the ship. A man who answered the phone Thursday at the “Reel Irie” company declined to comment except to say that he’s grateful everyone is safe. He said both the captain and first mate were standing next to him but that they weren’t ready to talk about the incident. The brother and sister said they don’t blame anyone for the shipwreck.

Japan allows airlines set to resume 787 flights TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s transport minister said Friday the government will allow Japanese airlines to resume flying grounded Boeing 787s once they complete installation of systems to reduce fire risk in problematic lithium ion batteries. The ministry gave the official approval Friday evening following a formal safety order from U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. “We have reached a conclusion that there is no problem with the judgment by the FAA,” Transport Minister Akihiro Ohta told reporters. “We believe all possible safety measures would be taken to prevent recurrence of similar problems.” The 50 Dreamliner jets in service worldwide were grounded in mid-January after incidents with smoldering batteries occurred aboard two different planes. Japan’s All Nippon Airways was the launch customer for the technologically advanced airliner and has 17 of the jets. Japan Airlines has seven. The groundings have led to hundreds of canceled flights and big revenue losses. A resumption of Dreamliner commercial flights would be around June, as safety improvements are expected to take several weeks to finish, airline officials said. The FAA posted a safety order online Thursday allowing 787 flights to resume once the batteries are replaced with a revamped system that manufacturer Boeing Co. says sharply reduces the risk of fire. Japan is requiring ANA and JAL to take additional safety measures, including installation of a system that allows monitoring of battery voltage on the ground and test flights of all 787 aircraft. A first test flight is expected Sunday. ANA said Friday it plans to complete the safety improvement work, which would require about one week per aircraft, by the end of May for its entire 787 fleet. Engineering crews are working to retrofit new systems on each of its 17 Dreamliner aircraft, ANA said. The measures involve replacing existing batteries with new ones, installing new chargers, containment boxes and a venting system. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
