Trans Mission: Transgendered client Toni Choate says she suffered extreme emotional distress after having a sexual love affair with her therapist, first as a man and then, after her surgery, as a woman.
Doctor Strange Love
Nationally known sex therapist Mildred Brown paid off a former client to drop a $2.5 million lawsuit that alleged a personally damaging and ruinous sexual affair. But the field of sexology may never be quite the same.
By Jim Rendon
TONI CHOATE REPEATEDLY REACHES into a royal-blue bag of bite-sized Almond Joys, unwrapping each candy and holding it with delicate poise before placing it in her lipsticked mouth. They help calm her nerves, she says, and she needs that today, talking about all the things which were secret for so long, things with giant ramifications, things which embarrass her still.
Even with a manicure, Choate's hands are large and callused from years of working as a building contractor and the four decades she lived as a man. And each time she reaches for a nerve-calming candy nugget, she exposes something else: raised, pale scars crisscross the inside of her forearms, stacked atop one another like a pile of pickup sticks.
Though born a boy, Larry Dillon Choate, in Visalia, Calif., in 1953, Choate struggled all her life with the belief that she was a woman. It took two marriages, numerous bouts with drinking and drugs and eventually years of therapy for Choate to arrive at sex reassignment surgery. But Choate says the one person who was her bedrock of support and trust through all of that was the world-famous Santa Clara County sex therapist specializing in gender issues: Mildred Brown.
"One of the biggest things growing up was trust," Choate says in her quiet, methodical way. "I only trusted two people in my whole life, my grandmother and my sister. I didn't trust doctors or lawyers; I didn't trust anyone," she says and looks up. "But I trusted Dr. Brown."
ALL HER LIFE, Choate was ostracized. Any glimmer of her inner female identity led to rejection and abuse. In grade school, other children called her a sissy. In high school the school doctor gave her injections of testosterone because he detected elevated levels of estrogen, the female hormone, in her system. Choate says nothing ever felt right.
"Every day people get out of bed and look at themselves in the bathroom mirror and they don't think anything. I would wake up and look in the mirror and say, 'Who is this?' "
When Choate began seeing Mildred Brown, in 1994, she had reason to believe she was in good hands. Brown had made a name for herself locally by providing therapy and group sessions for transgender patients. In 1996 Brown published True Selves, an in-depth look at the challenges faced by transsexuals which was filled with lengthy quotes from her local patients. Brown was profiled in Metro when her book was published, and has been regarded as an expert on transgender issues in local papers and TV documentaries.
With Brown's help, Choate began working toward her goal--sex reassignment surgery--that would transform her from a man to a woman. But in 1995, her relationship with her therapist changed.
One day, a year into therapy, Brown asked Choate to fix a broken bracket in her closet. It seemed like a small request, Choate remembers, and given Choate's decades of contracting experience, perhaps not unreasonable. In the private closet in Brown's master bedroom, Choate pushed aside her therapist's clothes. When she looked down, she couldn't help but notice a box of sex toys. "I felt special--there was nothing I wouldn't do for her," Choate says. "But it was also like the first time that your parents tell you they have sex. You don't really want to know about it."
In May 1995, Brown went further. She asked Choate to remodel her kitchen. Choate took the job.
During a therapy session in June 1995, Choate began to cry. Tears flowed for a long time as Choate let go decades of pent-up anger and frustration. Though the reason for those tears escapes her now, she cannot forget what happened next. Rather than keep her professional distance, Choate says her therapist got up from her easy chair and sat down on the couch next to Choate. Brown held her hand, Choate says, and then hugged her.
On July 30, 1995, Choate says she had finished her day's work on the kitchen when Brown encouraged her to spend the night in her guest room, rather than drive over the hill to Santa Cruz. Brown's husband, Bernard, had already gone to bed. Brown asked Choate to join her on the couch in the living room. Sitting side by side on the couch, Choate says her therapist stroked her face; then, she says, Brown kissed her.
In August, Choate moved in with Brown and her husband. The two stayed up late watching TV, painting their nails and eating M & M's, Choate says. Choate even has a tattoo on her leg of two M & M's--under one is inked Mildred and under the other Mandi, Mildred's middle name, which Brown insisted on using.
They did everything together, shopping, going to movies and plays. Choate loved to cook and often prepared meals for the couple. At night Choate slept in a small guest room, she says, but after Bernard left for work, she would join her therapist in the master bedroom.
Perhaps most damaging, Choate says, was Brown's desire for Choate to use her penis during their sexual encounters. It was an organ which she planned to remove and which she says she never identified with. Choate always felt she was a woman; she had no desire to be a man or to be with one. But when Brown asked her to use her penis, Choate complied, leaving her feeling confused and disturbed.
AS THE MONTHS ROLLED BY, Brown made it clear that no one was to find out about their affair, Choate says. The sexologist told her that if anyone found out, it would ruin her career and destroy her family.
Choate needed Brown in order to make her transformation complete. According to the internationally recognized guidelines for treating transgender patients, surgeons must receive two letters of recommendation, at least one from a licensed therapist, before performing sex reassignment surgery. Brown devotes a number of pages to the guidelines in her book, and Choate says she preached about them to her patients.
One reason so much care is required is because the procedure, especially for males, is nearly irreversible. In surgery, the penis' erectile tissue is removed. The skin is inverted and placed in a cavity created between the patient's rectum and urethra. Part of the top of the penis is used to create a clitoris, and the scrotum is used to sculpt the labia. Most patients can be orgasmic following surgery. But reversing the procedure is nearly impossible.
Though Choate asked Brown for her letter again and again, the therapist just put it off. When she finally confronted Brown, Choate says that the sexologist, who had been Choate's only counselor for more than a year, told Choate that she did not want to do it.
Instead, Choate says, Brown merely called the surgeon and promised to send the letter at a later date. The letter was never sent, Choate says.
Since Brown was not a lesbian, Choate worried that her therapist would reject her once she recovered from her surgery. But instead, she says, the relationship only intensified. She did more work for the Browns, fixing family cars and remodeling many of their properties, including Mildred's home office. She went with Brown to Portland, where Brown had a face lift, and she planned elaborate parties for Brown's birthday and book release. Choate says she had fallen in love with her therapist.
"Every part of my life revolved around Millie," Choate says. "She controlled where I made my money, where I lived, she was my sex partner, I cooked for her, I went everywhere with her."
At the same time, Choate says she could not slow the creeping guilt she felt every time she looked at Bernard. Even now she has trouble talking about it. "At the time this was going on there was a lot of chaos inside because I was--" she says, pausing, closing her eyes. "They treated me nicely and I feel guilty about--" she stops again and takes a deep breath and holds it, exhaling slowly. "I don't like hurting people, and in the back of my mind I knew I was hurting Bernard."
There was no one she could talk honestly with about her guilt, her changes, her relationship with Brown. "Looking back," Choate says, "I stepped out of one closet and was placed right into another one after I fought so hard to get out."
Cross Purposes: Like most sex therapists, Mildred Brown has no state-issued license to practice sexology. In California, psychiatrists, psychologists, and marriage and family counselors are regulated by the state, but not sexologists.
IN JANUARY 1997, after living with the Browns for almost a year and a half, the Browns and Choate formed a corporation. They called it Milberton, for Millie, Bernard and Toni, and they purchased the Savoy, a lesbian bar in San Jose. Toni and other women in the gay community renovated the bar and Toni managed it.
Though Choate had a history of alcoholism and substance abuse that Brown, her therapist, was well aware of, Brown nonetheless chose to put Choate in charge of the bar. And not surprisingly, Choate began to drink and take pills. Saddled with her secret relationship, and turning to drink, she became increasingly unstable, and increasingly dependent on Brown.
On June 6, 1997, in Brown's home office, Choate gave her therapist a surprise. She handed Brown a small felt-covered box. As Brown opened it, she began to cry, Choate says. Inside was a wedding ring. Brown slipped the ring on her finger, accepting it without pause.
Choate says that Brown had often talked with her about leaving her husband and running off with her client. The Browns had planned a trip to Europe at the end of the month. Choate was making her play for Brown. And the therapist agreed that she would back out of the trip and move away with Choate while her husband was gone.
Then she changed her mind. In the days before the trip, Choate and Brown made frantic calls back and forth. But by the end, Choate could tell that Brown was backing out.
Crushed by abandonment, Choate told Brown she would kill herself. She says she drove to Mission Beach in Carmel, where she had often scuba dived, near where she had spent time with Brown. At sunset, Choate washed a fistful of painkillers down with half a bottle of tequila and swam into the setting sun. She clung onto a kelp bed, turned her head to the sky and waited for the tide to drag her out to sea.
When she came to, she was face down in the sand. The surf was breaking over her back as she puked up her suicide cocktail.
The following day, Choate drove back to Brown's home. It was quiet--empty. Mildred had left her a note. "I love you, we'll talk when I get back. I hope you are OK," it read. Choate snapped. She tore pictures of Brown and her husband off the refrigerator and ripped them in half. Then she packed to leave.
But on her way out, Choate passed the master bedroom. Seeing the bed where she and Brown had made love so often filled her with rage. In lipstick, on the bathroom mirror, she scrawled, "You don't sleep in my bed." Then, with her handgun, she unloaded 10 .38 caliber bullets into the bed. Choate put the smoking gun to her own head. She pulled the trigger. It clicked. She had run out of bullets.
BEHIND BARS in Santa Clara County Jail, Choate had plenty of time to think over what had happened. Her defense team hired Dr. Jules Burstein, a forensic psychiatrist, to evaluate her. Burstein was appalled by what Choate told him about her relationship with Brown.
"Apart from seriously injuring or killing a patient it is hard to imagine a form of betrayal more violative than to enter into a sexual relationship with them," Burstein says.
Burstein has worked with many patients who have had sexual relationships with their therapists and says the impacts are tremendous. "There is an incredible experience of violation of trust and professional betrayal. Anyone who goes into therapy, there is a common knowledge that you don't have sexual relationships with your clients."
When Burstein evaluated Choate he was hardly shy about what he saw as Brown's responsibility for Choate's mental deterioration. "[T]here were clear indications of moderate to severe psychological problems of a long-standing nature which have been geometrically exacerbated by the sexual relationship between the client and her former therapist," he wrote in his letter to the court. Nonetheless, Choate served eight months in county jail.
Burstein points out that boundary violations are considered so damaging that any licensed therapist, whether a psychiatrist, psychologist or marriage, family and child counselor, will immediately lose his or her license once a sexual relationship with a client is disclosed. And in California it is against the law, punishable by jail time and fines. But only if the therapist is licensed.
Brown, however, is not licensed. In California, psychiatrists, psychologists and marriage and family therapists and others are regulated by the state. Even barbers have licenses--but not sexologists. Sexology is only regulated in one state: Florida.
According to her biography, Brown's only advanced degree is a Ph.D. in human sexuality from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. Brown is certified by two professional organizations, the American Board of Sexology and the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. Both groups have requirements for certification which include an advanced degree and a certain number of hours of clinical work. The later group has a detailed code of ethics that strictly forbids any kind of dual relationship between therapist and client, including a sexual one. The American Board of Sexology, on the other hand, has no ethical guidelines at all. But Bill Easterling, director of the organization, says that if verifiable allegations of a sexual relationship were reported to his organization, the member would most certainly lose certification.
BUT LOSING CERTIFICATION does not mean losing the ability to practice. Without state licensing, there is nothing stopping Brown from continuing her practice as long as she can continue to bring in patients.
Ted McIlvenna, who wrote a jacket quote for Brown's book, is president of the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. He says that psychology and sexology are completely different professions and there is little need for state licensing of sexologists. "The strange thing is that I've never known a clinical sexologist to fuck their patients. They don't do that. Generally people in other fields have the magic cock theory," he says.
Part of the reason that McIlvenna doesn't worry about long-term relationships between sexologists and their clients is because he does not see the work as long-term psychotherapy that confronts deeper issues. Much of that work is done by people who are already licensed mental heath professionals who specialize in sexology. Many students at his school are pursuing a specialty in addition to their clinical background and are already regulated by various state agencies. Those sexologists with no license for any mental health practice generally have short-lived relationships with their patients, some totaling only two or three visits, he says.
But that is not how Brown conducted herself. Choate saw her several times a month for three years. Other patients also have had long-term therapeutic relationships with Brown. Given the kind of sensitive, moving materials she uses in her book, and that appear in her notes from sessions with Choate, she was doing far more than conveying technical information about sex reassignment. Choate's attorneys say she was, in effect, counseling people who were going through dramatic changes in their lives.
"There is a lot of danger with a sexologist who is not licensed," says John Winer, one of Choate's attorneys. There is a tendency to compartmentalize the mind, he says--to go to a drug counselor for drug use, a sexologist for sex issues--but most problems run much deeper than that, requiring someone more qualified. "Alcohol abuse is more than just having too many drinks," he says.
HIDDEN BEHIND the Billy DeFrank Center is a place called "Carla's" where the transgendered community can come to meet, spend time together and shoot a few games of pool. Many of Brown's patients have spent at least a little time hanging out in Carla's. Jennifer Woolcott and Connie Place, two of Brown's patients, want to talk about how important Brown has been to them. Enveloped by the room's pink walls and fading flowers, Woolcott explains that Brown saved her life.
Woolcott tried to run her car off the road into a pylon and end her life rather than explain her gender identity to her family, her children. She missed, and survived unscathed. She began reading Brown's book and called the therapist before she'd even finished it. Brown agreed to see her. In less than a year, Woolcott says, Brown's expertise, warmth and compassion helped her find her way again. "If I had not found Millie, there is no doubt in my mind that I would have finished the job soon," she says.
There are hundreds if not thousands of others who feel the same way, they say. Though Brown was not licensed, no one has alleged that she ever claimed otherwise, they say. Both Woolcott and Place say that Brown was professional but compassionate, and that she always provided referrals to mental health professionals, physicians, whatever her patients needed. Both have been to many mental health professionals, licensed and not, and say that Brown was unquestionably the best.
In 1996, the community had a chance to show Brown how much she had helped. At the Billy DeFrank center, 250 of Brown's friends and clients gathered to celebrate the publication of her book, True Selves. One woman told the group that Brown had saved her life. Brown told Metro in 1997, "He asked how many people in the room felt their lives had been saved because they met me. Forty or 50 hands went up, and the whole room burst out in tears."
Woolcott and Place are not surprised that Brown hired Choate to help around the house, even that she went into business with the patient. Most people who go through sex reassignment surgery lose their jobs, homes and family. The surgery itself costs more than $30,000 and is not covered by insurance. Many people in the community lend a helping hand. Place says that Brown has even waived her therapist fee when Place was down on her luck. Her generosity has helped to make the transgender community here generous, they say.
JUST OFF MERIDIAN AVENUE in west San Jose, Mildred and Bernard Brown's home, with its two-car garage and manicured lawn, blends perfectly into its winding, tree-lined suburban neighborhood.
Brown did not return calls from Metro, but instead referred them to her attorney, Steven Fink, who refused to comment on the case, or on the settlement reached last month.
Choate's attorney Linda Scaparotti said that keeping the dollar amount paid to Choate by the Browns private was a condition of the settlement. She would not say whether it approached the $2.5 million sought.
"You saw the [seven-volume] file [at the courthouse]," she said. "We would not have gone through all of that for nothing" was all she would say. Also as part of the settlement agreement, all the countersuits were dropped.
"Our argument was that there is a standard of care that everyone needs to live up to," Scaparotti says. "She [Brown] was acting as a psychotherapist. She called herself a therapist in her book and therefore she should be held to the same standard of care as a psychotherapist."
Ultimately, licensing and state regulation for sexologists may be the best way to curb the kind of abuse that Choate says she suffered. And this case may help to spur that cause.
"We hope that ... it will cause sexologists to tighten up the standard of care with firm boundaries," Winer says. "We hope this case could cause the Legislature to want to regulate this field."
Howard Ruppel, director of AASECT, agrees that licensing is important. "It's on our agenda for the next century," he says. "But it is a huge task to undertake. It's going to take awhile."
As Choate stands up from the table in the conference room, she twists a ring perched at the end of her index finger. Letters punched into the thick silver band read "Woman in Love." "It's a gift from my daughter," Choate explains. Her teenage daughter has been living with her for a year now, and Choate says that the teenager has recharged her entire life, giving her the strength to move forward, the strength to dredge up all the pain she experienced with Brown. She knows she is doing the right thing. "If there is someone else out there in a similar situation, I know they will hear about this and know that they can get out," Choate says, turning to walk away. "That is worth everything for me."

"At the end of the day, boys, you don't tell me how rough the water is, you bring in the ship." – Steve Stone | |||
• Wrigley Rooftop Directory
Walker's defense, Maddux' buntingSunday, April 25, 2004I watched the Cubs game (almost in full), and am really excited! Matt Clement threw an eight inning two-hit gem today, and the Cubs won 4-1. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, which he lost when he gave up a home run to Karim Garcia. (I was at the grocery store for half an inning and just missed it... shouldn't have left the couch.) Anyhow, he looked a bit flustered and gave up another hit to the next batter. Then, he got a pop-up and threw another perfect inning. He looked great the whole game, struck out 13, and when he walked a guy in the second, I thought to myself... darn he coulda had a perfect game. Anyhow, nothing terribly remarkable in the stat box, but a great game from Clement, who has put some spring-training struggles behind himself. A few other things of note: I am now a big Aramis Ramirez fan! I hope the Cubs ink him to a long-term deal. I could see him playing at Wrigley for the next 10-15 years. Although our win streak is now at six, and our error-free streak at eight, I saw some troubling things today. (First a note, Ramon Martinez dropped a ball on the transfer from glove to throwing hand today, which could have been an error if errors were allowed for failing to turn a double play.) Ok, troubling things: The Cubs are having a terrible time getting down sacrifice bunts. I have been noticing this for a while now, and was rather peturbed when Greg Maddux failed to get down a bunt April 18th against the Reds. In the 4th inning, with Paul Bako on first, Maddux <error> at second. Todd Walker followed with a double getting Maddux to third, where he was stranded. If Maddux would have gotten the sacrifice down, Bako would have scored from second and the Cubs would have won. Instead, the Cubs ended up losing the game in extra innings. In his next start, April 23rd, Maddux again failed to advance the runner in a sacrifice attempt in the seventh inning. Although the Cubs won that game, the failure to accomplish the "little things" in a game, will eventually cost this team some more games. The reason that this is making it into today's space is that in the third inning today, Clement popped up a sacrifice bunt that nearly cost the Cubs a run. (After a would-be sacrifice fly from Ramon Martinez, Corey Patterson got a two-out single to score Michael Barrett from second.) The other thing that is bothering me is Todd Walker's propensity for lazy underhand flip's/tosses from the second base position. So far, nothing horrible has happened yet, but everytime he weakly flips a ball to first makes me cringe. So far, in the early season, I am much more concerned about Todd Walker's defense than Aramis Ramirez' (who by the way showed off his rifle of an arm today...). If you can, I definitely recommend watching this game again. Posted by Byron at April 25, 2004 12:00 AM | |
1 CommentHi my 7 yr old son would like to e-mail todd walker would you know where I can get his e-mail address. We may be related and that would be really cool for a 3rd base playing 7 yr old. Thanks KLA Leave a comment |

Messi plumped for Pep, Del Bosque and Mou, in that order
Iker Casillas, the Real Madrid and Spain captain, voted for his club boss José Mourinho ahead of Vicente Del Bosque in his picks for the Ballon d'Or. His third choice was Roberto Di Matteo, who led Chelsea to Champions League glory. As for the players' award, he gave Sergio Ramos 5 points, Cristiano Ronaldo 3 and Xavi 1.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi gave maximum points to Pep Guardiola, with Vicente Del Bosque and José Mourinho his second and third picks. In the player category, the Barça star went for Iniesta ahead of Xavi, reserving his last point for his compatriot, Sergio ('Kun') Agüero.
Portugal vice-captain Bruno Alves gave 5 points to Cristiano Ronaldo, while totally overlooking Messi. Falcao was his second choice, with Van Persie in third. Meanwhile, the Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella picked Messi, Agüero and Falcao, in that order.
During the Ballon d'Or Gala, Ronaldo claimed that injury prevented him from voting in the capacity of Portugal captain. "I didn't vote. I took a blow at a Portugal training camp and was sent home", he explained. "Who would I have voted for? That's a secret", he added.

Breaking Local News
Poca Shooting Victim Identified
A man shot last weekend in Institute has been identified. Kanawha County Sheriff's deputies say 51-year old Richard Lee Saunders of Poca was shot in the face with a .380 caliber handgun. Detectives have persons of interest in the case, but anyone with information should call with leads.
Bond May Be Possible To Finance New Coonskin Bridge
A new bridge at Coonskin Park might be financed with a bond. If state officials close off Coonskin Drive to the public, the bridge would be necessary for access to the park, and it would cost around $9 million. Retired adjutant general of the West Virginia National Guard, Allen Tackett, says federal funding for the bridge project doesn't appear to be an option, but it may be possible to acquire a bond. The Charleston Gazette reports since National Guard aircraft are kept at Yeager Airport, Tackett will suggest National Guard officials ask the Yeager airport board, the Kanawha County Commission and the city of Charleston to each contribute $100,000 a year to help pay off the bond. The National Guard will pay for the rest. We reported earlier this week Tackett's estimate that the $9 million Coonskin bridge could help save the economic impact of an $89 million facitlity. The details lie in the balance.
Whistleblower Suits Can Continue
A motion by the state Department of Health and Human Resources to dismiss a whistleblower lawsuit has been rejected. Attorneys Susan Perry and Jennifer Taylor filed the suits in October, citing damage to their professional reputations, among other things after they raised concerns over the way a multimillion-dollar advertising contract was awarded. Perry and Taylor, along with DHHR communications director John Law, were placed on administrative reassignment initially. Then Law and Taylor were later fired. Perry is still on reassignment. Given the latest action by the judge, those lawsuits will continue.
Man Accused of Rape Turns Himself In
A man accused of a child abduction and rape has turned himself in. Police say Bradley Price turned himself in Wednesday afternoon, after an incident April 10th where a 13-year old girl was kidnapped near a bus stop at Central Avenue and Russell Street. The criminal complaint says the girl was driven around for hours, then taken to the Knights in in Kanawha City and sexually assaulted. Price was charged with two counts of sexual assault in the first degree and one count of abduction.
State Lawmakers Approve Online Voter Registration
It will be easier for West Virginians to register to vote for the next election. And the list of who can vote should be more accurate because of two bills recently passed at the urging of Secretary of State Natalie Tennant. You'll be able to register to vote online if you have a digital signature on file with a state agency, like the Division of Motor Vehicles. Another bill makes it easier for county clerks to clear those who have passed away from voting lists. Currently a clerk needs an official obituary, a death certificate or a sworn statement from a family member to remove someone from a voting list. Clerks will now be able to use "other writings" like a newspaper article or a message from the post office.
Former Multifest Leader Sentenced to Prison
The former director of Multifest will spend nearly two years behind bars after admitting to stealing more than $300,000 while she was in charge of revenue and expenses. According to a news release from U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin, 55-year old Deborah Starks of Cross Lanes, admitted that she failed to report more than half a million dollars of income on her taxes. More than $300,000 of that unreported income was money she stole from Multifest," according to Goodwin. The news release says Starks admitted the embezzlement happened between 2005 and 2010 through personal checks to herself and to other people. She also used cash and ATM transactions from MultiFest bank accounts. In addition to the two-year prison term, Starks was ordered to pay restitution to MultiFest and back taxes to the IRS.
Flags At Half Staff to Honor Boston Victims
Flags are at half staff again today, after the order from President Obama. Flags at the White House and all government buildings are to be flown at half-staff in honor of the Boston Marathon explosion victims, effective through sunset Saturday. The President signed the order as a "mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence" perpetrated in Boston the previous day.
Local Man Faces Prison Sentence for Child Pornography
A Kanawha County man is going to prison on child pornography charges. 42-year old Michael Lee McCormick was sentenced earlier this week in Federal Court, to two years behind bars. McCormick pleaded guilty back in November, admitting that he downloaded images and sent them to other people. Police say there were more than 600 pornographic images. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
Rand Home Invasion Under Investigation
The Kanawha County Sheriff's office is seeking tips on a home invasion style robbery that happened early Monday. It happened in the 5300 block of Raven Drive in Rand, and Corporal BD Humphreys says four people were inside the home at the time. All sustained minor injuries and some said they were struck with pistols. Deputies interviewed victims and witnesses, and said three suspects - possibly two males and one female - were wearing ski masks and dark clothing, and were armed with guns. They left with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact him at the Kanawha Bureau of Investigation at 304-357-0156 or submit a tip on our agency's website, www.kanawhasheriff.us. Tips can be submitted anonymously.
Local Runners Shaken by Boston Marathon Tragedy
Local Kanawha Valley runners took part in yesterday's Boston Marathon, and all are apparently okay after the horrific explosion near the finish line just over four hours into the race. WCHS TV reports Adam Coon, the cross country coach at Sherman High School in Boone County took part in the race and finished 107th out of 27,000 runners, and had finished and was back at the hotel when the explosions happened. The Boston Marathon's website said there were 46 runners from West Virginia competing in the race.

This is silliness, to be sure, but it's criticizable more because it's silliness passing itself off as high drama than because it's unintentional propaganda for heroin. There has been some fretting that Trainspotting "glamorizes" heroin use. Does it? The short answer is yes: When Renton and three pals exit a train (the only one I noticed in the film, except for those in the wallpaper in Renton's bedroom) and stand framed in a low angle on the station platform, they look like a rock band. This type of imagery becomes even more overt late in the film, when Renton's gang crosses the street in London on the way to its one attempt at a big drug transaction, and suddenly it's the Beatles crossing Abbey Road. Sure, some fool out there is going to find this enviable.
But to a hipster-wanna-be desperately stupid enough to buy the idea of heroin addiction as glam, there's probably not much help anyway. Show a junkie reduced to diving headfirst into a toilet to such a person, and he or she will likely regard it as the highest of endorsements.

Senior wing Terrell Penney scored 16 of his 18 points in the third quarter to help the Class 6A Generals of Portland (18-3) march past the Class 5A Roughriders (1-21) and extend their winning streak to five games.
Roosevelt's starting point guard, senior Christian Wilson, went down with an injury two minutes into the game and did not return. The Roughriders were held to seven points in that first quarter and could not catch up.
Roosevelt will host Franklin on Friday and Grant travels to South Eugene.

My juvederm was injected too superficial giving me a bluish tint and a huge puffy under eye. The doctor kept injecting more and more until I was left whit big puffy under eye.

"Juvederm Under Eyes- Wasn't..."
This was a far more intensive procedure than I had expected. I got to the doctors office. The nurse put numbing cream under my eyes. I waited a while for the doctor to come in. He then told me that he was going to be putting Novocain in my mouth and using a technique similar to what the dentists do to get the Novocain up to my eye area to help numb the area. Luckily that wasn't that bad... more
"Really Didn't Get the Results I Wanted"
My main problem was two lines running from under my nose to the top of my top lip. I was getting Botox injections that helped, but did not rid me of the problem areas. The nurse suggested a filler injection to achieve the desired result. I got juvederm injected into my lips and the two problem areas above as well as slight creases at the corners of my mouth.

A corruption scandal in which retired Philippine generals and their wives were accused of living lavishly off funds skimmed from one of Asia's weakest armies took a dramatic turn Tuesday with the apparent suicide of a former military chief.
Retired Gen. Angelo Reyes, 65, was pronounced dead on arrival at a Manila hospital from a single gunshot wound to the chest after visiting his mother's grave, Health Secretary Enrique Ona said. Reyes, a prominent figure, had been accused along with two other former Philippine military chiefs of embezzling at least $1 million from the armed forces.
Mr. Ona refused to immediately confirm that Reyes had committed suicide, saying he was awaiting autopsy results.
Witnesses interviewed by DZBB radio station at the cemetery said they saw Reyes send his children to his car before a single shot rang out.
The powerful military expressed shock at Reyes' death and urged Congress to expedite its probe into military corruption. President Benigno Aquino III, elected last year on the promise to prosecute corrupt officials, sent his condolences while his predecessor praised Reyes as a good soldier.
Corruption, an explosive issue
Corruption is an explosive issue in the Philippines' inadequately equipped and poorly paid 120,000—strong military. It has sparked several insurrections in the last two decades by disgruntled soldiers.
In startling testimony last month, retired military budget officer Col. George Rabusa claimed that huge amounts had been diverted from key military units into a kitty for all kinds of illegal payoffs.
Among the recipients of the unaudited payoffs, Col. Rabusa said, were three ex—military chiefs of staff who each month collected millions of pesos (tens of thousands of dollars) for personal use plus huge "send—off" payments when they retired.
Col Rabusa alleged that Reyes, who served from 2001 to 2003, was among the recipients of the payoffs, including more than $1 million when he stepped down that had to be converted into dollars because the peso equivalent was too bulky.
A stunned Reyes at the time denied pocketing funds but also declared "I'm not a saint." He later filed graft charges against Col. Rabusa and a senator he accused of conspiring to malign him.
Emotions ran high when Reyes tried to confront Col. Rabusa at the January 27 hearing but was restrained by senators, including Antonio Trillanes IV, a former navy officer who was detained for more than seven years for alleged involvement in failed coups against former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Reyes was among Mr. Arroyo's most loyal backers.
"I'm just trying to protect my reputation here," Reyes said during the Senate hearing in what would be his last public appearance. "I have served this government for 48 years."
"No, no, no, you don't have any reputation to protect," Mr. Trillanes responded. "I believe this is the time of reckoning. ... You better find very good lawyers."
Wives also used military payoffs to purchase U.S. real estate
Col. Rabusa's allegations were disturbing. Aside from the ex—military chiefs and two comptrollers, he testified that their wives also used military payoffs to purchase U.S. real estate and finance foreign trips, shopping sprees and parties. He said the money was illegally taken by cutting Congress—approved funds, including those for troop salaries, ammunition and a military hospital.
The magnitude of the accusations against Reyes and two other retired military chiefs shocked many in this Southeast Asian nation, which has grappled with government corruption scandals for decades but produced few convictions.
"Death is not a graceful exit to such a distinguished officer," Sen. Kiko Pangilinan said.
"A more honourable way would have been to come out with the truth and win back the admiration of his fellow soldiers," he said, urging other generals accused of graft to cooperate with a government investigation.
Reyes known for his temper, lighter side too
Reyes was among the country's most prominent generals. He had led counterinsurgency battles and was in charge of the departments of defence, environment, energy, interior and local government affairs and other top posts under several presidents. He was known for his temper but revealed a lighter side too, as part of a three—member soprano group in which the macho general sang and danced in charity shows.
Col. Rabusa grieved over Reyes' death, saying they were close friends until the congressional investigation. Col. Rabusa also said he feared for his life.
"I'm really sad and I don't know why he did that," Col. Rabusa told DZBB radio, his voice cracking. "I know his children, they treated me like a second father. ... We ate together. He served me meals."

Well all I know is I paid with my cc and if they don't send the items in a reasonable time frame then I do a charge back thats the beauty of CC
What type of metal are these paperweights made of?
Aluminum and they still haven't sent them out. many people are talking that are guns is pulling a scam saying everything is in stock to nail people with a $100 cancellation fee. I'm starting to think this is true.
ewwwwww i was about to buy some upper receivers from them, but they have a crappy rep online. I'm glad I passed on them.
Yeah it seems they have everything in stock for "ONLINE ORDERS ONLY" And not in their retail store ? HHHMMM well Monday I am cancelling my orders and to bad rgun no $100 cancel per order on my cc because guess what if in stock you only have 1 week to ship items. And the mistake they are making is if over 20 charge backs in 1 month that eliminates your cc accepting account forever as a loss prevention safety for consumers. I'm wondering whats up with them this weekend is the Princeton gun show and rgun has been to that show before i may need to go and ask them if those are my cgs and paper weights for sale on their table ? or are mine better since they are online orders ?

Sewers, roads and water lines have always been concrete indicators of growth. The two sewer bond issues on Tuesday's ballot — one proposed by the city and the other by the Boone County Regional Sewer District — are no exception.
Officials from both the city and sewer district say that the main purpose of the bond issues is not to add a significant amount of capacity to either system.
Instead, the $21 million in sewer district bond money would pay almost entirely to update facilities so that they would meet new state Department of Natural Resources fecal coliform limits. E. coli, a well-known example of the fecal coliform group, is a bacteria harmful to humans.
New water regulations are also a big driver of the $77 million city bond issue. About $33 million of the bond money would pay for two new treatment trains, or a series of tanks, that are needed both to remove ammonia and ensure plant reliability. Ammonia is a chemical toxic to fish and wildlife.
The rest of the improvements — $43.9 million — include updating aging equipment that dates to the plant's opening in 1983; updating the grit handling system and sludge removal that would increase wastewater plant efficiency and save costs in the long term; adding an odor control system; and making improvements to the collection system, including $3 million for sewer extensions for future employment centers.
Aside from the ammonia treatment, the proposed improvements are not state-mandated for stream quality, but Steve Hunt, the city's environmental services manager, said the updates are just as necessary. They would not add a significant amount of capacity, but rather make sure the plant can keep running as is, he said.
The $3 million piece of the city bond issue for future employment centers is reserved for a project in the Bear Creek watershed, Hunt said.
"It's so we can attract some industry, some job centers," Hunt said. "We want to be able to have capacity available."
Hunt added that the city serves as a support role for growth, while private groups like Regional Economic Development Inc. seek to encourage businesses to come to Columbia and Boone County.
If the bond issue passes, and the City Council later approves the specific proposal, the money would be used to switch a certain amount of sewer flows from the Bear Creek watershed sewer system to the Hinkson Creek watershed system.
This is because, Hunt said, a lot of developments in the Bear Creek watershed — for example, the Vanderveen subdivision, Arbor Point subdivision, developments north of the Boone County Fairgrounds, the industrial park on Rangeline Road, industry on Prathersville Road and even part of the Route B corridor — are filling up sewerage.
Hunt said that relief sewers would be needed for this area down the line anyway.
"(Bear Creek is) getting developed to the point where we need to be looking at those areas and keeping on eye on it," Hunt said. The growth is not unexpected, he added.
Hunt said he sees the economic development portion of the bond issue as a way for the city to get ahead of the growth curve.
"It's recognizing what's going on and more getting out in front of the trend," Hunt said.
"The section of sewer that I'm worried about was probably installed in the '50s or '60s," Hunt added, referring to the Bear Creek system.
Now, it needs to be replaced. But Hunt said the pipe replacement is being driven by the past 50 years of growth, not the past five years.
For the sewer district, the issue of growth is a bit more complex. The district has about 6,100 customers, spread out across Boone County, while the city has about 40,000.
Add to that: Many of the new developments are on the fringes of Columbia, which means they are sometimes annexed to receive city sewers and sometimes served by the sewer district. One example is the South Route K corridor, where developer Jose Lindner has amassed about 1,000 acres of land, as reported by the Missourian in 2007.
Under the bond issue, several facilities in this corridor will be updated: Arrowhead Lake Estates wastewater treatment plant and University Estates lagoon will be closed and connected to the Columbia system; the South Route K Wastewater treatment plant will receive ultraviolet light disinfection and the lagoon will be replaced with a second treatment facility; and the Spring Park lagoon closed and connected to the city system.
In the district's 2007 capital improvements plan — from which much of the planning for the bond issue was done — there are either three options for new facilities or the option to connect to the Columbia system. These steps are planned for after 2013, after the funding from this bond issue would run out.
The three options are to build a wastewater treatment plant either near West High Point Lane, which would cost about $7 million; near Woodie Proctor Road, which would cost about $9 million; or near the confluence of the Missouri River, which would cost about $10 million.
Why not include these plans in Tuesday's bond issue?
"I'd basically say, it's because of the price tag," said Tom Ratermann, the sewer district's manager. "We're doing what we think is absolutely necessary to stay in compliance with law," he said, referring to water quality regulations. "To look at options that are so much more expensive — and are almost 20-year plans — just doesn't make sense."

A man prays on the stone floor of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher during the Easter Vigil Mass.
EDMONTON — The involvement of one of the Church's shepherds in "a heinous sexual crime" goes against everything the Catholic Church stands for, says Archbishop Richard Smith.
Catholics have a deep sense, "almost in our genes," of the beauty, sacredness and dignity of the sacrament of Holy Orders, Smith said in reaction to Bishop Raymond Lahey's guilty plea to a charge of importing child pornography.
OTTAWA — Bishop Raymond Lahey pleaded guilty to the importation of child pornography May 4 and asked to go directly to jail, even though a date has not been set for his sentence hearing.
The former bishop of Antigonish, N.S., faced two child porn charges, but the Crown and defence counsel agreed to drop the more serious charge of possession of child pornography for the purpose of transmission.
The May 2 federal election was an overwhelming vote for a government that gets down to work and leaves the bickering and antagonism of recent years behind.
The election was, of course, an historic realignment of political parties in the country — the emergence of the NDP as Canada's alternative party, the annihilation of the Bloc Quebecois and the pushing aside — at least for now — of the Liberals. But the realignment was the symptom of a desire for serious government without the gridlock of the past seven years.
Theologians sometimes try to simplify the meaning of the resurrection by packaging its essence into one sentence: In the resurrection, God vindicated Jesus, his life, his message and his fidelity. What does that mean?
Jesus entered our world preaching faith, love and forgiveness but the world didn't accept that. Instead it crucified him and, in that crucifixion, seemingly shamed his message.
The dark valley is, as everyone knows, a symbol of difficult times we all encounter sooner or later in our lives. I have yet to meet someone who managed to skip this stage, although individual valleys seem to differ in length and degree of darkness.
For some of us, the valley is an illness or some disability, for others a loss of work and status. Aging is certainly one of the valleys, and not an easy one either, what with the trembling hands, dimmed eyesight and memory that fails in the most embarrassing way.
It amazes me that in the 21st century people still pose the ridiculous question: "When do you think life begins?" Quite frankly, it does not matter when you or I think life begins: Biology established long ago — before abortion on demand became legal in Canada — that human life begins at conception.
People who pretend otherwise must rely on sophistry and public ignorance about the reality of prenatal life to make abortion seem acceptable.
In his inaugural homily in St. Peter's Square, Pope Benedict concluded, "At this point, my mind goes back to Oct. 22, 1978, when Pope John Paul II began his ministry here in St. Peter's Square. His words on that occasion constantly echo in my ears: 'Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors to Christ!'"
Indeed, the whole Church will look back to Oct. 22, 1978 — that's the new feast day for Blessed John Paul. For the feast day's Office of Readings in the breviary, an excerpt from the day's "Be not afraid" homily has been chosen.
Where does the devotion to Our Lady of Good Counsel originate and why is she the patroness of the CWL?

Want to eat heart healthfully, but don't quite know what staples you should keep in your home? Start stocking up on nutritious foods to help reduce your risk of heart disease. Having these items on hand will also make menu and meal preparation a snap!
We've created a grocery store walk-through to provide you with some hints and tips to choosing more healthful foods.
Choose from a variety of the following foods to toss into your favorite family recipe:
These foods contain heart-protective mono- and polyunsaturated fats and can compliment many recipes to enhance the nutritional value of the meal.
The dairy section can be a tricky one; choose low-fat and nonfat dairy foods or dairy food alternatives on most occasions. Enjoy the variety of textures and tastes these convenience foods can add to recipes and snacks.
These oils contain heart-protective mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Use these while cooking your favorite recipes
Use these sweeteners when you need to add a bit of sweetness into your drinks or recipes.
Soaking and then preparing dried beans can be time-consuming and difficult for the novice cook. Canned varieties of beans, bean dishes, soups, bean and vegetable-based sauces are a much more convenient alternative.Be food label savvy and watch out for the sodium and fat content in these foods. Enjoy the many flavors and textures these foods can add to your menu.
Make smart choices when adding dressings or sauces to your dish. Read labels and choose dressings low in sodium and fat.
The foundation of a healthy diet begins with whole grains. These foods provide you with dietary fiber, B-vitamins, folic acid and a variety of other heart and health protective nutrients. Many boxed convenience foods are available in this group; just be aware of the amount of sodium per serving provided.
Choose more fish, poultry and lean cuts of meat. Try to Increase your intake of plant sources of protein such as tofu or meatless protein options.
The frozen food section contains the largest variety of convenience foods available in the market today. As a health-conscious consumer you must be food label savvy as some can be quite unhealthful. Taking the extra time on the next few grocery visits to read labels will help save you a lot of food preparation and shopping time in the future. Choose frozen entree/meal/burrito/soup with no more than 600mg sodium and single serving food (vegetable, bread) with no more than 140mg sodium. Below are ideal convenience food choices for the health-conscious:
Although not all items found in the bulk food section are necessarily 'convenience' foods, they can still fit well into a healthy eating plan. A benefit to these foods is that they contain little to no added sodium, fat and other preservatives. Here are some good choices:
Grocery stores and markets around the world now have pre-cooked convenience foods available for purchase. Unfortunately almost all of them lack a Nutrition Facts panel, which provides calories, total fat, saturated fat, sodium, etc. Read the ingredients carefully to point out any high-fat, high-sodium contents. Ingredients are listed by weight, so those listed first make up the majority of the food. For example, if mayonnaise is the second ingredient in a tuna salad dish, you can bet the meal or entree is high in total fat and saturated fat. Use caution when choosing these foods and follow some hints and tips below:

I am trying to follow a low-fat diet but am having problems understanding the food label. Could you explain the best approach to food label reading for fat?
You are not alone in your quest for understanding food label jargon. Here are a few quick tips to follow when trying to watch your total fat intake as well as the cholesterol-raising fats.
Depending on your cholesterol level, most healthy individuals should limit total fat intake to around 25 – 35% of total energy (total calories eaten) each day. While it is important to watch each individual food's fat content, remember that this 25 – 35% fat range is your overall dietary goal; you'll always encounter foods that are under or over this percentage. Your goal is to keep most foods you eat within this desired fat range.
You can determine the fat level of a food in a few different ways:
Divide the calories from fat by total calories to determine the percentage of calories from fat.

Here are a few quick tips to follow when trying to watch your total fat intake as well as the cholesterol-raising fats.
Depending on your cholesterol level, most healthy individuals should limit total fat intake to around 25-35% of total energy (total calories eaten) each day. While it is important to watch each individual food's fat content, remember that this 25-35% fat range is your overall dietary goal; you'll always encounter foods that are under or over this percentage. Your goal is to keep most foods you eat within this desired fat range.
Divide the calories from fat by total calories to determine the percentage of calories from fat. For example:
Calories 160 - Fat Calories 30
Divide 30 by 160 = 19% calories from fat. This is a low-fat food.
If the label does not provide fat calories you can do the math on your own. Simply multiply the grams of total fat by 9 (there are 9 calories for every gram of fat). This will provide you with calories from fat. Divide this by total calories.
Example: A food contains 120 calories and 5 grams of fat. 5 (g of fat) x 9 (9 calories per g of fat) = 45 (total calories from fat). Dividing 45 into 120 gives you 37.5%. This would not be considered a low fat food.
Please note: unless you are following a 2,000 calorie diet plan (which is usually higher than most women or sedentary men require) do not look to the percent Daily Values for fat. This is the percentage of fat based on 2,000 calories and won't be helpful to you if you are only eating 1,400 calories a day.
In excess, both fats can raise your bad cholesterol. Most of us should limit our daily saturated fat intake to 12 grams or less. Choose foods that claim to be "low in saturated fat" or that contains 2 grams or less saturated fat per serving.
Trans fat is a trickier one: the Nutrition Facts panel of the food label does provide grams of trans fat yet. This means it is up to you to limit foods that contain the words partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated in the ingredients list. Baked goods like donuts, cookies, crackers and pies as well as fried foods are high in trans fats.
Make an effort each week to read a new food label. Practice over time will help you feel more comfortable with food label reading.
Some food labels make claims such as "low cholesterol" or "low fat." These claims can only be used if a food meets strict government definitions.
Here are some of the meanings of nutrient claims on food labels:
Example: Fat free or nonfat, cholesterol free, sugar-free.
Example: Reduced sodium, reduced fat.
For sodium: must have at least 50% less sodium and must be low in calories and fat.
For calories: must have at least 1/3 fewer calories and must contain less than 50% of calories from fat.
Low cholesterol: 20 milligrams or less and no more than 2 grams saturated fat.
Low saturated fat: 1 gram or less.
Low sodium: 140 milligrams or less.
Very low sodium: 35 milligrams or less.
Low calorie: 40 calories or less.
Fiber: 5 grams or more.
Potassium: 700 milligrams or more.
Vitamin A: 1000 International units or more.
Vitamin C: 12 milligrams or more.
Folate: 80 micrograms or more.
Iron: 3.6 milligrams or more.
Fiber: 2.5 to <5 grams.
Potassium: 350 to <700 milligrams.
Vitamin A: 500 to <1000 International units.
Vitamin C: 6 to <16 milligrams.
Folate: 40 to <80 micrograms.
Iron: 1.8 to <3.6 milligrams.
Less than 10 grams total fat.
Less than 4.5 grams saturated fat.
No more than 95 milligrams dietary cholesterol.
Meat, poultry, seafood or game meat that, per 3 ounces, has the following:
Less than 5 grams total fat.
Less than 2 grams saturated fat
Less than 95 milligrams cholesterol.

Zubiri disowns bogus website
MANILA, Philippines—Rep. Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri really threaten to file a bill punishing people who would get infected with the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)?
It's a hoax, said Zubiri, who was roundly ridiculed on social media over the alleged proposal.
"I completely deny the statement on making AIDS illegal," he said in a statement, a copy of which was also posted on his wife Audrey's Instagram account.
"I am currently on vacation with my family. I'm out of politics. Please respect my privacy." Zubiri, who resigned as senator in 2011, following allegations of fraud in his 2007 election. He ran again in the last election and lost.
The United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) likewise disowned the bogus website where the fake statement attributed to Zubiri was first posted.
"We do not want anyone to be deceived by this website providing false and inaccurate information to mock, hurt, malign and embarrass people for the amusement of others," UNA on Wednesday said in a statement.

Gear Review
great for regular headlamp users
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Unlike some other reviewers, I haven't done any kind of extensive research on this product. However I've used it a fair bit and I've been really pleased with the life-span of the battery so far. Over the summer I work as an outdoor educator and use a headlamp probably an average a half-hour a day, everyday, for about three months. I was able to make it through the full season only having to charge this battery twice.
Cost-wise, you may have to use this battery quite a lot, and for extended periods of time, to make it worth the money. But if you are a regular head-lamp user and you're tired of throwing away AAAs, this thing is the solution.
