The president asked Kit to read the minutes from the last meeting at the Seaford Fire Department - they were approved and accepted.
Barbara Connelly, the treasurer, distributed LIEVT jackets and backpacks to the members who had not received them. She presented our past president, Bill D'Alessandro with a plaque and gift in recognition of his service to the organization. She gave our webmaster, Nate Berry a thank you gift from the group.
The president introduced David Gindlesperger of Akron Brass to let our members get to know their new SAM system. David described SAM, a pump control system, what it does, and how it works. In a nutshell it promises to simplify pump operation and manages the Hale pump through control of integrated Akron electric valves as well as providing engine information and warnings. David brought a demo tabletop system with the three main pump panel components: a larger "control center" touch display, a smaller "pump controller" governor display, and the separate "twister" (an electronic throttle). He fielded a lot of questions about function, operation, service, and cost from the membership. There was a lot of excitement when he mentioned IDEX's stated plans to bring pump manufacturing back to the states possibly as soon as September of this year.
The president presented David Gindlesperger and the Wantagh Board of Fire Commissioners with framed certificates of appreciation.
The officers and members surprised Barbara Connelly with a birthday cake, a card signed by the members and balloons.
A raffle followed with a donation from Coastal Fire Systems.

Penn State Hershey Movement Disorders Center is home to a research study focused on the early diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (PD) and a program for measuring the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment in advanced cases of the disease.
Associate Professor of Neurosurgery James McInerney, M.D., states, because PD symptoms can be mistaken for other disorders, an accurate PD diagnosis often does not occur until up to 80 percent of dopamine neurons have died. His colleague, Vice Chair for Research and Professor of Neurosurgery Xuemei Huang, M.D., Ph.D., leads a team that studies the dynamics of arm swing coordination during walking in both PD patients and controls, to identify any marked differences.1 Continue reading

text: Most parents would like their kids to have more than what ever they had growing up, but with the desire to give more to this generation of kids our expectations of them becomes more demanding. We expect them to perform better which adds to complications to their already filled up lifestyles. The more kids do, the less time they have being kids and then self discovery is left for a later stage of their adulthood. Undesired pressure is forced on a generation of kids who are forced to be better than us because we have given them more but our intention to make life better for them just puts undesirable pressure and sometimes unreachable expectations in motion which will eventually lead to disappointment because of our belief that with our support and time given to our kids lifestyle that it should lead them to excellence or even a privileged life.

In 1969, South African popular author Credo Mutwa argued that the Bantu do not forgive and forget. Unlike Jesus who taught that "If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also," the Bantu will wait until you look the other side before striking your cheek twice as hard, so the prophetic Mutwa argued. Based on this theory, he predicted the Rwanda genocide in which the Hutu tribe rose against the Tutsi in 1994.
The 2015 election clearly showed how the ghost of tribal mistrusts over 50 years ago still haunts us. Kenneth Kaunda's rise to power and subsequent defeat of Harry M. Nkumbula is definitely behind the ill tribal feelings between the Southerners (Westerners) and Northerners (Easterners).
Until 1973, these provinces voted for their own—wako ni wako—the caliber of the leader mattered less.
Let us face it–the 2015 elections shamefully exposed the ethnic divisions in our beloved nation—people voted based on tribal stereotypes. In fact, many Bembas denied HH their votes simply because he is Tonga. Similarly, the Tongas saw and come 2016 will see nobody on the ballot but their own–HH. So unless we change, Zambia's future is very precarious.
I predicted President Edgar Lungu's victory based on the number of candidates, the tribal nature of Zambian politics, limited voters and other advantages the PF enjoyed; and for sure, the UPND lost. But the biggest loser in this election is not HH but the MMD and the nation—raising critical questions as to how the Mumba led Party will reorganize for the 2016 elections. Is this the death of the MMD as a political party? Kaya!
our electoral rules are anti-voter friendly, anti-student, and disqualify many people from casting their ballots.
It is too early to conclude that the UPND has penetrated Zambia since the MMD dissolved – it voted for either PF or UPND. While both parties maintained their strongholds, they benefitted from the MMD votes—making the election so competitive. In fact, the minimal gains for the PF in the UPND strongholds and vice versa were mostly due to the MMD votes. So unless the MMD permanently dissolves and joins PF or UPND, the outcome of 2016 elections is any one's guess.
The small "margin" of the PF victory can suggest that HH will easily win the 2016 elections. Nonetheless, unlike the 2015 elections, the 2016 tripartite elections will introduce new voters while Councilors, MPs, and the President will be campaigning for their jobs. Thus, we expect much higher voter turnout than 2015. Besides, as the adoption of MPs draws near, some rebel MPs who endorsed EL or HH may be forced to switch sides in 2016, or go independent if they are not adopted. And if we demand 50 + 1, small parties will play a critical role in the outcome of the 2016 elections.
Justice Irene Mambilima was right—if the election was stolen from HH, UPND was part of it. This does not mean HH must concede. But if his case rests solely on the Muvi TV and Zambian Watchdog pollsters, then he should fire his strategists. In our 50 years history, no presidential candidate has won by 82%. Frankly, normal social scientists would have dismissed such polls with ultimate contempt.
Relatedly, the 2015 elections exposed the inanity of Zambia's electoral rules. The Zambian soccer team, for example, is flying the national flag at the Africa Cup of Nations. However, the entire entourage was denied the right to vote. Similarly, all those in diplomatic positions or resident in other parts of the world were disqualified from casting their votes. As we move towards the 50 + 1 vote in 2016, one vote can make a difference between losing or winning the election.
Justice Mambilima's request for extra powers for the Electoral Commission of Zambia needs supporting, but so does the electorate. Post-jubilee Zambia needs to make voting easy. Out of 5,166,084 registered voters, less than a third (1,671,662) voted. In Raised Hopes, Shattered Dreams, I argue that our electoral rules are anti-voter friendly, anti-student, and disqualify many people from casting their ballots. The country does not allow early or absentee voting, but requires people to vote in person and to go back to where they registered to cast their votes. Besides, why should we continue to waste money on voters' cards—is the National Registration Card not enough?
Madam Mambilima, time has come to make voting easy—every qualified citizen needs extra powers to access the ballot!

From online banking to e-commerce, a number of terrestrial markets have experienced significant digital transformation over the past decade. Now, the changes witnessed on the ground are taking to the skies and bringing the aviation industry into the digital age. The connected aircraft, facilitated by satellite communications, is at the heart of the biggest transformation we've seen in the industry for several decades.
Never before have the commercial benefits of the connected aircraft been fully assessed. Sky High Economics, conducted by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in association with Inmarsat, is the first study of its kind to comprehensively model the economic impact of enhanced inflight connectivity. High-speed connectivity promises to take the aviation industry in many new directions; the report focuses on mapping out these routes, quantifying their commercial value now and in the future as the adoption of connected aircraft becomes more widespread.
The first instalment of the report, launched at APEX Expo in 2017, focused on the opportunities of passenger connectivity. It predicted that the booming passenger inflight Wi-Fi market will be worth $130bn by 2035, resulting in $30bn in additional revenue for airlines. From broadband access revenue to premium content, the study revealed a wealth of ancillary revenue opportunities available to airlines through monetising the inflight Wi-Fi experience.
On 19 June, I was delighted to unveil the second instalment of the series: Evaluating the Economic Benefits of Connected Airline Operations. This report shines a light on how secure, high-quality connectivity can deliver powerful operational efficiencies, with resulting advantages for safety and the environment. These efficiencies translate into fuel savings, reductions in delays, innovations in maintenance processes, air traffic management enhancements, safety improvements and others. The benefits it will have on customer-facing processes, customer behaviour and loyalty will be the topic of our third chapter in the series.
Based on current connected aircraft numbers, the LSE research finds that together these efficiencies can generate up to a 1% reduction in the $764 billion spent by airlines each year in operating costs worldwide. This is impressive, as it equates to 20% of the current global aviation industry net profit (2018 forecast, $38.4 billion). And as the adoption of connected aircraft is set to rise exponentially, this is expected to double, saving airlines $14.9 billion globally by 2035.
These cost savings break down into a number of benefits. Thanks to enhanced communication to and from the cockpit, fuel efficiencies of 2.5% could be achieved – that's an annual reduction of 8.5 billion litres and 21.3 million less tonnes of CO2. To put this into context, the current IATA global target for reducing CO2 emissions is an improvement in fuel efficiency of 1.5% per year. In addition, where connectivity is fully utilised in disruption management to reduce the impact of delays, cancellations and diversions, annual savings have potential to reach $11 billion by 2035.
In an industry with continuous pressure on margins that has exhausted traditional areas of optimisation, digital transformation and the real-time, cross-silo optimisation of activities it enables, presents opportunities for another step change in reducing operational costs.
At Inmarsat, as we're working with a growing list of airlines adopting connectivity across the entire aircraft from cabin to cockpit. Through our investments in next-generation low cost, abundant bandwidth networks, we're helping airlines realise new revenue streams and achieve striking operational efficiencies while managing the secure segregation of passenger and mission-critical safety data.
Inmarsat's GX Aviation brought reliable, high-speed internet to airline passengers for the first time. The launch of our SB-S service now brings quality, IP-secure internet to the flight crew. With SB-S, previously single-purpose aircraft systems become distributed and integral parts of an airline's cloud computing network, enabling new capabilities from visual real-time weather updates to inflight health and performance monitoring. This technology is also driving digital datalink air traffic management, ushering in improvements in communication, navigation and surveillance.
This report demonstrates that the connected aircraft is a shrewd strategic investment; unrivalled access to real-time data is key to making airlines' operational environments more dynamic. Leading airlines have started down the path of digital transformation to drive down bottom-line operating costs while reducing emissions and improving safety. Additionally, enhanced connectivity is becoming a necessity to sustain capacity growth as our skies become busier. With finite airspace available to accommodate increasing passenger numbers, smart airlines anticipate and consider the technology and infrastructure they need to future-proof their operations.

Nicole Scherzinger was the lead singer of the very successful all-girls group the Pussycat Dolls before she pulled out to pursue a solo career. The talented singer certainly has some hits to her name both as part of the group and as an individual artist. More about her journey to fame is explored below.
Nicole Scherzinger's Bio (Age, Ethnicity)
Nicole Scherzinger was born on the 29th of June 1978 and was given the full name Nicole Prescovia Elikolani Valiente. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii but was raised in Louisville, Kentucky. She fell in love with music early, especially with Whitney Houston and turned her entire focus towards performing.
She, therefore, went to a performing arts high school and after graduating went to Wright State University to study theatre and dance. She left school early to start her career when she got the opportunity to back-up the rock group Days of the New. In 2001, she contested in the WB television series Popstars, where she won the lead singer role in the then soon-to-be created all-girl band Eden's Crush. The group's first single Get Over Yourself actually merited a Billboard charts presence but the group did not manage to find further success after that particular single. The group members soon went their separate ways.
Nicole Scherzinger would get another chance to dominate as part of a group when she stepped in as the lead singer for the recast group called Pussycat Dolls. The group was successful almost immediately with their first record containing hits such as Stickwitu, Don't Cha and Buttons. The album attained double platinum status in the United States and went on to sell more than 9 million copies worldwide.
Nicole Scherzinger continued to build her profile outside the group by performing with other big names in the industry like Timbaland an 50 Cent. The Pussycat Dolls released their second album Doll Domination in 2008. The album still did quite well though not as well as its predecessor. It contained such hits as I Hate This Part and When I Grow Up. Nicole Scherzinger left the Pussycat Dolls in 2009 after rumours of in-fighting within them started coming out.

Nicole Scherzinger did not wait before making moves as a solo artist. Her first single Jai Ho recorded for the film Slumdog Millionaire (2008) got to the number one spot in seventeen countries. In 2010, she became a contestant on ABC's Dancing with the Stars and was the eventual series winner. She was named in 2011 as the permanent replacement for Cheryl Cole for The X Factor's American edition, which put her alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and L.A. Reid.
Nicole Scherzinger has a pretty strong image as a sex symbol and is considered one of the sexiest women on the planet. VH1 ranked her as the eight out of their 100 Sexiest Artists. FHM has also featured the singer on their list of 100 Sexiest Women since 2006. She posed semi-nude for a "Protect the Skin You're In" T-shirt in July 2013. It was part of a campaign by Marc Jacobs the fashion designer to raise awareness and cash for melanoma research.
Nicole Scherzinger Parents
Nicole Scherzinger's parents separated when she was an infant and her mother (Rosemary) remarried a man named George Scherzinger. It was the two who moved the young Nicole to Louisville, Kentucky when she was 6 years old and even turned her to music when they bought her a cassette tape of Whitney Houston.
Dating, Boyfriend
Nicole Scherzinger has dated quite a lot over the years. She was at a point engaged to the lead singer of 311 Nick Hexum who she had dated from 2000 to 2004. Their engagement never quite ended up in marriage and in 2007, Nicole Scherzinger got into a high-profile relationship with Lewis Hamilton, the Formula 1 World Champion. They had met at the 2007 MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich. Their relationship was regularly covered by the British press and they were on and off a lot. They separated for the last time in February 2015.
In 2015, she started dating Grigor Dimitrov, the Bulgarian tennis player. In January 2016 they made their relationship public after which they almost separated in May 2016 but managed to overcome whatever difficulties had beset their relationship. The two, who have a thirteen-year age difference between them with Nicole Scherzinger being the older, are still going strong.

Everyone knows there are twelve zodiac signs in astrology — Aries through Pisces. And some people are also aware that every astrological chart or horoscope is divided into twelve sections called houses. What most people don't know however is that the twelve houses are actually more important than the signs!
Understanding the influence of astrology's twelve houses is crucial to an accurate interpretation of any horoscope as it provides the foundation for understanding how to make sense of all the sign placements, planetary positions and aspects. The houses provide the 'keys' that unlock and reveal the hidden secrets that bring insight and clarity to the birth chart and its symbols.
I'll explain the archetypal meaning of all twelve houses and explain how to incorporate this primary piece of astrological information into your overall interpretation process in order to arrive at a more thorough understanding of any chart.
Contact me or call me at 928-779-1210 to purchase this 75 minute recording, available in CD or immediately downloadable mp3 file format.
The current quantum shift in human consciousness is a powerfully energetic influence compelling people to know more about how to accelerate their spiritual and evolutionary growth. Evolutionary Astrology can offer clear guidance for those seeking to know why they're here and to more fully understand their Soul's purpose and life lessons.
Evolutionary Astrology or EA, reads your astrology chart from the perspective of your Soul and offers deeply transformative insights about why you incarnated, what your Soul's evolutionary growth intentions are for this lifetime, where you left off in these pursuits in your most recent prior lifetime and exactly how you intend to move forward in this life to achieve your Soul's evolutionary goals.
A unique and modern astrological interpretation method, EA reveals this crucial information for each individual through their 'Soul Path Signature.' This signature is comprised of the natal positions of Pluto and the Nodes of the Moon. I explain in simple, easy to understand language, how the Soul Path Signature offers a clear road map to understanding your Soul's deepest desires and how to accomplish your Soul's evolutionary growth intentions in this life and successfully realize your life's purpose.
Contact me or call me at 928-779-1210 to purchase this 75 minute recording (available in CD or immediately downloadable mp3 file format) and learn about your own personal 'Soul Path Signature' as well as the Soul path you share collectively with your entire generation.

We are living in extraordinary times! This statement sounds grandiose and yet, it's true that we are currently living in an epoch of human history that many ancient cultures around the globe foretold through their prophecies as being a time of great spiritual awakening for mankind; a time of quantum shifts in human consciousness.
For several years now I've noticed a growing desire among associates, friends and clients to deepen their personal connection to the sacred or divine aspects of life. They commonly refer to this as an 'inner calling' to pursue a more spiritual life.
It seems timely to offer the ancient spiritual wisdom I've learned over the last twenty years as an Evolutionary Astrologer to those currently seeking a deeper connection with the spiritual, divine and sacred dimensions of their lives. In Spirituality Now, I share all that I've learned about the Soul's Spiritual Evolutionary Path. Whether you're just beginning your spiritual journey, or you're a practiced spiritual aspirant, this course can help you deepen your understanding and experiences on your own unique spiritual developmental path.
Spirituality Now offers over three hours of recorded conference call classes.
The following topics are covered in the class:
– The difference between spirituality and religion
– The nature of a Soul and the role of the ego
– How spiritual evolution naturally unfolds
– Universal lessons in spiritual development
– Karmic resolution vs evolutionary necessity
– Evolving levels of human consciousness
– Why meditation is so important

Most everyone is familiar with Mercury retrograde periods, which occur three to four times each year. But few people realize that ALL the planets experience retrograde periods.
Venus has the rarest of retrogrades reversing only once every eighteen months for about forty days. And Mars retrogrades once every two years for up to two and a half months. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, however, ALL go retrograde from four to five months every year. So nearly everyone has at least one retrograde planet in their natal chart. In fact, its exceedingly rare for someone to have no natal retrograde planets at all.
Retrograde motion has its own unique archetypal energy and evolutionary purpose. Retrograde planets accelerate the Soul's evolution so knowing what planets were retrograde at your birth can offer tremendously valuable insight into your Soul's personal evolutionary growth intentions in this lifetime. It can also help you understand how to successfully navigate transiting planetary retrograde periods.
This 90 minute teleclass explains the nature of retrograde energy and how it's specifically experienced through each of the planets. In addition to explaining natal retrograde planetary archetypes, the nature of progressed and transiting retrograde planets are described as well.
If you don't already know which planets are retrograde in your natal chart, provide me with your precise birth data (birth date, exact birth time and birth place) when you purchase this class and I'll quickly provide you with this important personal information that will enable you to personalize the teleclass information.
Contact me or call me at 928-779-1210 to purchase this 90 minute teleclass recording available in mp3 file format which is immediately downloadable to your computer or smartphone.

Donna provides an insightful astrological analysis of the birth charts of the United States and Donald Trump. America is about to experience a profound chapter in it's ongoing history as the astrological cycle known as the 'Pluto Return' occurs between 2021 and 2023.
Pluto takes 248 years to complete one orbit around the sun. When it does so it 'returns' to the same place it occupied in the natal or birth chart. Pluto is the planet associated with the Soul, the Soul Path and the evolutionary process itself. And yes, nations have Soul Paths! However, the Pluto cycle is so long that many countries don't endure long enough to experience a Pluto Return. Rome lasted for only two Pluto cycles…
Although still a few years away, we're definitely already beginning to manifest and to feel the energy of this remarkable celestial occurrence. Donald Trump and his administration are playing crucial roles now in the lead up to this extraordinary event. Indeed many of the same concerns and issues that troubled the colonists and led to the Declaration of Independence from King George and England are once again being experienced currently in our country. Issues like taxation, religious freedom, trade and central banking are once again at the center of our political discourse.
The United State's Pluto Return symbolizes an opportunity to re-birth the very Soul of our nation and to once again re-affirm our original founding purposes.

Chiron entered the sign of Aries on April 17, 2018, for eight years. Since Aries is the first sign of the natural zodiac, a brand new fifty year chapter of Chiron's influence is about to begin.
Chiron's entire journey through all twelve signs of the zodiac takes a little over fifty years. This means that the energies and influences associated with Chiron's orbit around the Sun repeat every fifty years.
So how will Chiron's influence manifest this time around? Clues can be found by looking back to the last time Chiron entered Aries, which was in 1968, a truly seminal year in American history. 1968 was marked by student-led protests against the Vietnam war and for the Civil Rights Movement. Tragically, it was also the year in which both the Reverend Martin Luther King and Democratic Presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, were assassinated.
Indeed we've already seen the first stirrings of a repeating Chiron cycle in the student-led 'March for Our Lives' on March 24th, when a record-breaking number of protestors took to the streets in hundreds of cities all across the nation, demanding political reforms to end to gun violence.
The repeating energy of this fifty year celestial cycle is also reflected in a resurgence of interest in historical events from 1968 as evidenced in Hope and Fury, a recently aired television documentary hosted by NBC's Lester Holt.
It's also evident in several recently published books including the best-selling, Bobby Kennedy, A Raging Spirit, by Chris Matthews, and Lawrence O'Donnell's, Playing with Fire: The 1968 Election and the Transformation of American Politics.
People born in the late sixties will be personally affected by Chiron's entry into Aries! As they turn fifty years old, they'll experience an important, once-in-a-lifetime astrological event – their 'Chiron Return.'
Chiron's return to Aries is also setting the stage for truly revolutionary events in our nation's unfolding history as the United States prepares for its first ever 'Pluto Return' in 2021-2022.

Read the opposing arguments from Loyal Homer and Babe Ruthless.
Rocky Balboa has triumphed against seemingly insurmountable odds many times. But I don't think anyone saw this coming.
Sylvester Stallone, creator of boxing's most recognizable figure of the past 30 years (despite being fictional), has been honored as one of the newest inductees into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
There are many people out there like Loyal Homer who feel that this honor is not deserved. They do not deny the cultural impact that the series of Rocky films has, but there have been many great movies about sports. From The Natural to The Mighty Ducks, sports films make for one of the great film genres. That does not necessarily mean that Robert Redford and Emilio Esteves should receive similar inductions.
In many senses, I agree with that sentiment. The idea that Matt LeBlanc could receive Cooperstown honors for his role as sidekick to a baseball playing monkey in the film Ed is ludicrous. But I am awarding this verdict to Babe Ruthless for pointing out a very critical piece of information – it is Sylvester Stallone, not Rocky, that is receiving induction. Stallone's contributions to the sport of boxing greatly supersede simply producing a movie.
In many ways, Stallone has been as influential in promoting the sport of boxing as Don King, Bob Arum, Lou DiBella, and many other promoters over the years. As Babe Ruthless mentions, Stallone's creation of Rocky helped attract maintain fan interest during a transition period when legends like Muhammad Ali were making their exit from the sport.
If we were talking about the MLB or NFL, that contribution may not have meant much. Those organizations have been able to maintain consistent growth without any outside help. But boxing is not in the same successful boat as professional baseball or football. Boxing has been struggling desperately for many years, and is starved for real, sustainable publicity.
Sure, guys like Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, and Roy Jones, Jr. did their part to keep boxing relevant, but who has stepped up to carry the torch since their exit from the game? Names like Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, and Joe Calzaghe have simply not been enough to sustain the viability of the sport the way that Ali and his counterparts did during boxing's golden age.
Boxing NEEDED Rocky. You can't say that about Rudy.
It should also be noted that Stallone's contributions to the sport of boxing go beyond the Rocky series. He has stayed very close to the sport, including working as producer for The Contender television series, a real-life boxing competition that offers working-class prospects an opportunity to make the leap into boxing stardom. That program has helped to launch the careers of several world-class fighters, including Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora, who went on to claim the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.
Movie characters do not belong in sports' halls of fame, but Stallone is not a movie character. His professional career as a Hollywood star should not be considered a black mark against him when you are considering the invaluable contributions he has made to the sport of boxing.
Congratulations, Sly, on receiving the honor of being named to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. It is well-deserved!

The Caribbean faces a "challenging" first three months of the year due to a bookings slump, according to new analysis.
Bookings for the first quarter – usually a peak travel time for the region – are currently 3.6% behind the equivalent time last year with those from the UK down by almost 11%.
The latest data from ForwardKeys, which analyses more than 17 million flight bookings a day, shows that bookings from the dominant US source market are 7.2% down.
However, bookings from France and Canada are currently 1.9% and 8.9% ahead respectively, while Argentina is 5.8% down.
These are ranked as the five most important source markets for the Caribbean.

Visiting the Bahamas in the wake of hurricane Dorian
The slump follows devastation wreaked by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas and a series of initially suspicious deaths of US tourists in the Dominican Republic last year.
Overall tourism to the Caribbean grew by 4.4% in 2019 despite a 4.7% fall from the UK to the Bahamas during 2019.
ForwardKeys said: "Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2020, the outlook is challenging, as bookings for the period are currently 3.6% behind where they were at the equivalent moment last year."
ForwardKeys insights vice president Olivier Ponti added: "Whilst the current forward booking situation is currently not where one would want it to be, there are plenty of opportunities for the destination to grow.
"Most significantly, an analysis of flight searches shows that there is strong interest in the Caribbean from source markets which have very limited direct connectivity.
"For example, large numbers of people look for flights to Nassau from Paris, Milan, Warsaw, Rome and Zurich.
"This suggests that if new direct flights were established, many more visitors would come.
"Given how wonderful the Caribbean is as a destination and how much tourism is valued here, I am crossing my fingers that this will happen."
Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association chief executive and director general Frank Comito said: "As a regional destination, one of the most useful things we can do is encourage collaboration between countries to build resilience to market shocks.
"Of course, the better we understand the market, the better placed we are to do that.
"Having access to the kind of high quality data we shared today will definitely help improve market understanding, planning and decision making."

Month: October 2013
Tombstone angels
Colonial Puritan headstones present an evolving emblematic reminder of fleeting nature of mortality, moving over time from harsh stylized eyes of judgment to the bare bones of the human skull to more humanized features before turning to images of Grecian urns or weeping willows. The images came to be known as Tombstone angels, for good reasons.
Here are some examples from a burial ground in downtown Concord, Massachusetts.
Pumpkins and shadows of witches
Nowhere else have I seen Halloween observed with the excess that it stirs in New England. A native of the Midwest, where I've lived in five cities and three states, and having resided in the mountains of both Upstate New York State and Pennsylvania, as well as in the Pacific Northwest and a corner of the South, I find myself perplexed when Halloween decorations begin appearing shortly after Labor Day, about the time that the early signs of autumn foliage are obvious and undeniable. By the first of October, the decor is out full-bore, nearly as pervasive as Christmas decorations the first week of December.
Halloween means something quite distinct here in New England – something beyond the trick-or-treat emphasis elsewhere. At first, I thought it was simply a matter of quantity – or maybe trinkets that have become widely marketed in recent years. Such observations lead me, then, to ask whether the overindulgence has accelerated in recent years. To ask whether it's merely another manifestation of increasing consumerism – a reflection of a secular society that confuses a candy overload with spiritual blessings. But that turns the consideration toward the quality of the observance itself. Just what hunger drives so many people to adorn their yards with large plastic "pumpkin" bags filled with leaves or to drape blinking orange lights around their houses? Admittedly, some of it is pure playfulness – the effigy of the witch crashed into a telephone pole or a tree. But is there something more – a hunger within the psyche that is not openly acknowledged? In that light, the practice of teaching Halloween carols (for that's what they are) in elementary schools can be seen as a perverse substitute for sacred Christmas music that's been banned – a reflection of tolerance that permits the mention of witches, but not a baby Jesus, in public institutions. (Doesn't that, by default, make for an anti-Christ? What values are being taught here? Which ones suppressed?) Hunger turned exclusively toward candy, rather than genuine food, is not healthy. Perhaps sending children out dressed as terrorists is the inevitable outcome. So what if they've been isolated from experiences of death common to farm life or even large families of previous centuries?
My concern is that a "witches-are-good" theology sugarcoats the deeper essence of New England's Halloween fixation. The real issue is anxiety about death, something that is rarely addressed outside of religion, which we've largely banished from the realm of public discourse.
Enter some of the more isolated pockets of the region, listen to the stories, and you're likely to sense that something else is going on – something that goes back generations. Bits of it appear in the news – a farmer who poisons the coffee at his church, the police chief who buries his girlfriend's husband in his front yard and is discovered a decade later. Something in the heart turns to stone. A century-old house will do; two centuries or more is better.
The fact is that families here have been in place for generations. Memories linger, and wounds – even perceived slights – fester. Add to the caldron large numbers of Scots-Irish, Irish, and Quebecoise – with all of their own folklore and superstitions regarding death and hardship.
Salem – the city now synonymous with witchcraft in America – is also the seat of Massachusetts' Essex County. From our contemporary vantage, we typically blur Salem in with "events back then" and overlook just how far back that goes (settled in 1626, it's the second-oldest city in Massachusetts – and four years older than Boston). By comparison, Philadelphia would not be envisioned until 1681, and the first town in North Carolina would not be founded until 1705. Salem bridges more than the mother country's Essex County with an Essex County in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Despite its footing in medieval thought, barely a decade after its founding Salem could nevertheless as easily claim to be the birthplace of dissent in America, thanks to a succession of Samuel Gorton, Anne Hutchinson and her followers, and Roger Williams in the 1630s – each of them, we must note, ultimately taking flight to what would become Rhode Island. From our contemporary vantage, we also blur the distinctions between the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony and those of the Puritans who established the Massachusetts Bay Colony – not only critical theological differences, but cultural ones, as well, rooted in different parts of England. Our modern impression of witches in black pointy hats and Puritans with muzzleloaders and buckled hats loses any sense of the intellectual and moral fermentation in the decades up to 1692 – a time of upheaval that included the theological and social challenge presented by the emerging Quaker movement (four of its itinerant ministers were executed by Massachusetts officials 1659-1660) and by the simultaneous restoration of the English monarchy. The return of Charles II to the throne must have presented the ultimate existential conundrum to the Puritan movement, which had come to the New World with hopes of nurturing the future English government from exile and was then largely excluded from Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate. All the while, the expectation of Harvard University as an alternative Oxford would, over the centuries, would be fulfilled in a then-unanticipated destiny. Today we emphasize the Puritans' fear of nature, but overlook the fact that the frontier wilderness not far from their doors was full of danger – including kidnapping to Quebec that continued until the end of the French and Indian War in 1763. Until then, English civilization ceased just beyond the handful of garrisoned communities only sixty miles up the coast from Salem.
While we today apply "Puritan" or "Puritanical" with a prejudicial contempt equivalent to the charge of "witchcraft" or "sorcery" in earlier eras, we also fail to see the movement's great idealistic accomplishments, including genuine attempts to create utopian societies within the constraints of human nature. We fail, too, to see that they maintained – even from their pulpits – a lusty approach to life and sexuality, albeit within the confines of marriage and community. We expect them to be spotless, by our standards; what a shock, then, to hear about the large quantity of beer these Puritans quaffed – more than a gallon a day for every man, woman, and child, by some estimates – and, later, hard cider. (Or, on much of the New England frontier, the whiskey common to Scots-Irish tables.) Even watered down, it must have led to borderline alcoholics, at the least. A paranoia becomes possible. What is missing in our stereotypes, then, is any sense of individual people and their personalities. Nowadays, we revel instead in their failures and discipline, instead of their accomplishments and goals. In raising the "puritanical" cry, we blame them for much in which they are guiltless, and accuse them of things they never were. We are far more likely to look at them through the revisionist eyes of Arthur Miller (The Crucible) or Nathaniel Hawthorn (The Scarlet Letter or The House of the Seven Gables) than through their own. The sins, then, may be ours as much as theirs.
The subject of witchcraft obviously provides its own boogyman – especially as it touches our own nerve about persecution injustice. (Incidentally, one friend has concluded that the Salem witch executions were the result of the application of then-modern "scientific method" jurisprudence; under church rules, she argues, none of the accused would have been ruled guilty. Again, our presumptions and values deserve challenge.) What is not known can be regarded as darkness, and who knows what lurks in the darkness?
All the same, something in autumn evokes witches in the American mindset. Especially in New England, with its intertwined images of fall foliage and Halloween witches. As Fischer notes, from 1647 to 1692, the Puritan colonies accounted for ninety percent of the accusations and eighty-five percent of the executions for witchcraft in English-speaking America.
If we typically fail to see the Puritans themselves, perceiving witches becomes even more elusive. (And all the more fascinating for a modern thread of morbidity.) We can ask, of course, whether they existed at all. One answer is that laws are not written and imposed for problems that don't exist. In other words, "Where there's smoke, there's fire." Of course, there's the very question of how witches and witchcraft are defined – and even whether practitioners would have so defined themselves or their work in that manner, or as something quite different. On top of it all is the romance of the outsider – an underground tradition, perhaps dating to antiquity, maybe Druids or Celts, or the mere act of quiet rebellion against the dominant authority.
What we do see is how much the matter haunts the American mindset, and how widely it touches a common nerve. Nothing demonstrates this as much as the autumn pilgrimage to Salem amid the annual tide of foliage peepers.
While the Salem witch trials touch on many basic tensions – with socio-economic justice high on the list – they also invoke an underlying tension between intellect and emotion. Because the Puritan strand of Calvinism relied strongly on the Bible as the "written Word of God," what emerged was a reason-based approach to faith. Where, then, did emotion fit? Or practices that long predated the Protestant Reformation? Or abuses of power relating to families and commerce? Buried emotions and fears were bound to erupt somewhere.
In some ways the contemporary New England Halloween seems to wallow in the forbidden, a Mardi Gras in Pilgrim land. How strange, too, that a holiday from the Catholic and Anglican liturgical calendar should come to so dominate a place settled by those who did not observe even Christmas! How much, then, is a jeering reaction to the Puritan hierarchy from East Anglia by the Scotch-Irish, Catholic Irish, and backcountry Quebecoise who since migrated to the region in great numbers?
The witch trials continue to fascinate as historians delve into not-so-apparent influences, such as struggles for secular dominance and wealth. Some see a manifestation of long-festering Puritan fears, an anti-Quaker thrust of the Salem trials, though veiled, having much earlier hanged Quaker Mary Dyer, a woman having a legitimate claim to the throne of England. Even earlier, Salem had offered a pulpit to Roger Williams, who would eventually establish the first Baptist congregation in America, and was a center of antinomian theology, much to the agitation of Puritan officials. The ultimate issue, then, may have been Puritan hegemony, rather than witchcraft.
Others have looked to scientific causes, such as an outbreak of hallucinogenic ergot in rye – which would nonetheless point back to the fears of witchcraft itself.
When considering Halloween in New England, we might even add the much-later Lizzie Borden case (1892 – exactly two centuries after the Salem witch fever), that continues to focus a morbid fascination on Fall River. Lizzie's case is mirrored in other stories of death, of a series of husbands slain by their new bride, of children's mummies found in attics decades later, all part of New England's Gothic lore. Somehow, it's altogether fitting that master horror writer Stephen King lives in Maine.
David Hackett Fischer (Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America, Oxford University Press, 1989) sees in the "Death Ways" of New England seeds for this situation: "The Puritans of Massachusetts shared this feeling in an exaggerated degree because of their theology. … New England's Calvinist orthodoxy insisted that the natural condition of humanity was total depravity, that salvation was beyond mortal striving, that grace was predestined only for a few, that most mortals were condemned to suffer eternal damnation, and no earthly effort could save them. The people of Massachusetts were trained by their ministers never to be entirely confident of their own salvation. From childhood, they were taught to believe that a sense of certainty about salvation was one of the surest signs that one was not saved. … This attitude of cultivated insecurity, coming on top of the dangers of life itself, created a brooding darkness that hovered over the collective unconscious of New England for two centuries."
Within that collective unconscious memory is the fact that Halloween falls close to the beginning of solar winter, just a little more than a week away – just as Groundhog's Day announces solar spring. This sense of solar seasons, rather than calendar seasons, is well known to earlier peoples, and explains why Mayday, the beginning of solar summer, was so widely celebrated. (Except in New England, where the town of Merrymount provided the brief exception.) Such arcane knowledge makes pieces of folklore fit into place.
Halloween is a harbinger of November, the bleakest month of the year – made all the more so by the return of Eastern Standard Time, which drives sunset to mid-afternoon and means leaving the workplace for home in darkness. Halloween, then, is a herald of gloom, death, and despair. Laugh all you want during the party or the parade of sweet-toothed kiddies, the candle in the jack-o'-lantern will die out. Here, then, autumn presages new trials. The brilliant colors are deceptive and short-lived – a clarion warning. Getting through New England's dark winter has no guarantee. Don your costume and pretend it does. But for balance, remember, All Saint's Day and Ash Wednesday follow – with much reason.
Ranges of red
Citations and more
Bonnie Friedman, in Writing Past Dark (Harper Collins, 1994), recalls "leaves kindled on the trees, bursting into orange and red and yellow almost with a gasp like a pilot light lighting, and they hung there the barest instant – a week, nothing – before they flung themselves to the earth. The ground flowed with colors as if a globe had been spun. Everything urged disorder."
To demonstrate how intensely the dominant Puritan culture could bear down on those who opposed its values, historian David Hackett Fischer (Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America, Oxford University Press, 1989), relates the origin of a well-known American word:
"In Massachusetts Bay, an eccentric Devon family called Maverick settled the present town of Chelsea and an island in Boston Harbor that still bears their name. They had trouble with the Puritans and moved away, keeping one jump ahead of the larger cultures that threatened to engulf them. By the nineteenth century, the Mavericks had found their way onto the western plains. Their name was given to range cattle that bore no man's brand, and became a synonym for independent eccentricity in American speech."
The fact remains that New England has, at its heart, Puritan roots – which, surprisingly, include an awareness of witchcraft. Fischer demonstrates that the United States bears the often conflicting legacies of four distinct English migrations to the American colonies. New England, he argues, arises almost exclusively in a culture transported from East Anglia – in particular, the counties of Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk. From the Boston accent, which in England was known as a "Norwich whine," to the diet of oven goods (pies, Yankee pot roasts, and Boston baked beans), to the "saltbox" and "Cape Cod' style of houses, to the New England sports of baseball and American football, the origins can be traced to surviving parallels in East Anglia and neighboring shires. Fischer also reports:
In England, every quantitative study has found that recorded cases of witchcraft were most frequent in the eastern counties from which New England was settled. The American historian John Demos concludes, "… interestingly, the figures look most nearly equivalent when New England is matched with the [old English] county of Essex alone. Essex was beyond a doubt a center of witch-hunting within the mother country …"
A rare repertoire
Apart from the seasonal recipes my wife trots out in autumn – the leak-and-potato or butternut squash soups, for example, or the last of the fresh eggplant parmesan – I mark the occasion with my own extended ritual. Somehow, each October, I pull out my recordings of the symphonies of Charles Ives and play them in sequence. Rarely as 1-2-3-4 and the Symphony of Holidays, either, but more as a dozen playings of the first, followed by a dozen of the second, and so on. And then that's followed by George Whitefield Chadwick's string quartets, often leading to other New England Romantic era composers – John Knowles Paine, Amy Beach, Arthur Foote – as well as the more contemporary Walter Piston and his colleagues. These are not pieces I hear often on the radio, not even Boston's, where all but Ives had lived and worked. (He had become the leading insurance executive in Manhattan, as well as a legendary maverick musician.) These are the neglected but brilliant and often innovative voices of New England, defiantly proving to the world what the Germans were not required to match. I've come to feel their music in my soul as my own.
Occasionally, while driving in autumn, I pass a meadow of intense green, even after a killing frost. How inexplicable this reminder of spring aspiration feels so late in the year!
Once, approaching Pinkham Notch on my return from northern Maine, I pulled over beside a boulder-strewn streambed and hiked briefly, thinking myself alone in the now pale yellow, chilled air. As my exhale fogged, I glanced around the forest and listened to the echo of the few remaining birds. Then I noticed the fly fisherman in his waders, patiently casting.
The line, as easily a filament of music as of hope or tranquility; the skill of casting, advanced over the years; the mastery of tying the feathers themselves, likely in the long nights of winter: all coming together in the passing, the present, now, momentary, fleeting, falling wonder.

(Corrects number of plants expected to receive permits to three, from four, following company's clarification)
SAO PAULO, July 18 (Reuters) - Brazilian food processor BRF SA BRFS3.SA expects China to issue new export permits to three of its plants soon, a move that would help the company boost pork and chicken sales to the Asian nation by 30%, Lorival Luz, chief executive officer, told Reuters in an interview Thursday.
A Chinese delegation is visiting several Brazilian meat plants this week and will continue inspecting plants next week, he said. Luz declined to speculate about the timing for a Chinese decision on issuing the new permits, which may also benefit certain of its chicken processing units.

"I, in turn, will do this to you; I will appoint over you a sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the soul to pine away; also, you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up." (Lev 26:16)
Jehovah warned the Israelites of the consequences of not obeying Him and living as He intended them to. However, some of those consequences are subtler than we would expect.
He'll give you a pining soul that wishes for a life that would be more fulfilling.
Or a sense of futility that you "sow your seed uselessly" and no matter how hard you work, you can't get ahead.
A lack of fulfillment in life and a sense of hopelessness are real impacts we receive from removing God from our life. When we don't put God first, all the other pieces don't fit right. A poor foundation leads to an unsteady building.
Check your schedule and then ask, "Is God in my calendar?"
Check your bucket list, and then ask, "Are my goals, His goals?"
Check your budget, and then ask, "Do I save treasure in heaven or on earth?"
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, "What shall we eat? or What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matt 6:31-33)

YENAGOA- NO fewer than two hundred rice farmers in Bayelsa State under the Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria ,RIFAN, have commenced receipt of distribution of farm inputs under the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Anchor Borrower Programme Scheme aimed at empowering farmers across the country.
State Chairman of RIFAN, Mr Ezekiel Ogbianko, who supervised the distribution of the inputs which include fertiliser and pesticides Thursday, said the exercise marks the flag off of this year's wet season farming in the state.
He commended the federal government for initiating the scheme to support not only the RIFAN but all farmers across States of federation, adding that RIFAN in the state has acquired 5,000 hectares of land across the eight local government areas in the State in preparation of the wet season farming season.
In his remarks, Principal Manager, CBN, Bayelsa Office Mr Ezombode Stanley urges the farmers to good use of the inputs and pledged to support them for successful farming season and stressed that the importance of farming to economic growth cannot be over-emphasised.
One of the beneficiaries, Mr Pere Eteku said he was happy to be part of the programme and promise to utilise the inputs for the purpose it was meant for.

Ironically their win prior to Thursday night was Aug. 27 and Thur. was Sept. 27. Maybe this means they will go on a month long winning streak.
New Haven will travel to Bourbon on Monday for their final regular season game before they begin district play on Wed. Oct 3.
The Class 1 District 8 Tournament will be held in Sturgeon, Mo. New Haven is seeded 6th and will play the number three seed Clopton. Game time is set for 6 p.m.

Wednesday Sports in Brief
NEW YORK (AP) -- All the players set to be free agents after the 2020 season would still get that chance if there is no baseball this year, part of a broad deal being negotiated by the commissioner's office and the players' association.
If there's no season because of the new coronavirus, the agreement would credit major leaguers with the same service time this year that they earned in 2019, a person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing.
Service time affects a player's status for free agency, salary arbitration and the pension plan. The likely service time agreement was first reported by The Athletic.
Major League Baseball and the union would agree to try to play as many regular season games as possible, the person said. They also would agree to explore one-time changes to the postseason, which would create the possibility of expanded playoffs this year.
They would consider multiple schedule options that would take into account player health and safety, economics and ballpark availability. Possible changes might include increased doubleheaders, extending the regular season into October and even November and using neutral sites with warm weather and roofs if needed for the postseason.
NEW YORK (AP) - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has instructed the 32 teams to close their facilities to all but a select few employees by 6 p.m. Wednesday.
In a memo to teams, Goodell said restrictions meant as a safeguard against the new coronavirus will be in force until at least April 8. Then the league will re-evaluate, using advice from medical experts and health authorities. The few exceptions include trainers and doctors treating players, security and technology personnel.
The NFL has gotten some pushback for not postponing the draft scheduled for April 23-25 while the rest of the sports world is largely shut down. The league is developing a new format because it has scrapped the public events set for Las Vegas.
NEW YORK (AP) - The National Hockey League has postponed its scouting combine, awards ceremony and draft that were scheduled for June. It did not provide new dates for the events.
With the NHL season on pause since March 12, the postponement of these events did not come as a surprise. The league is still working on scenarios of what hockey would look like if it is able to resume this season.
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - A Washington State football player was found dead in his apartment by an officer who responded to a call for help involving ''breathing problems,'' Pullman Police Chief Gary Jenkins said Wednesday.
Jenkins said there were no signs of foul play and that the Whitman County coroner will determine the cause of death for 22-year-old Bryce Beekman, the senior defensive back who was found Tuesday afternoon.
Coroner Annie Pillers said in an email that the case remains an ongoing investigation and that it may take up to three months to determine the cause of death.
Beekman started all 13 games last season for Washington State after transferring from Arizona Western College. He finished fifth on the team with 60 tackles and one interception. He was expected to be part of an experienced Washington State secondary going into this season.
Dayton's Obi Toppin is headed to the NBA after leading the Flyers to a 29-2 record and No. 3 ranking as a redshirt sophomore.
Toppin tweeted his decision Wednesday, a day after he was honored as The Associated Press' men's college basketball player of the year. The Flyers' Anthony Grant was voted coach of the year.
Toppin, who was a late bloomer in high school and didn't get much recruiting notice, led the way in one of Dayton's greatest seasons. He averaged 20 points and 7.5 rebounds and punctuated each game with a variety of dunks.
The 6-foot-9 forward was a unanimous choice for the AP All-America first team. He beat Iowa's Luke Garza for player of the year honors.
Toppin shot 63% from the field, with his signature dunk moves gaining national attention. He also shot 39% from beyond the arc, showing a complete game that will likely make him a potential first-round pick in the NBA draft.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Shane Burcar will be Northern Arizona's full-time basketball coach.
The school announced Wednesday that Burcar will have the interim tag removed after leading the Lumberjacks to 16 wins last season.
Burcar was elevated to interim coach last June after Jack Murphy left to become associate head coach under Sean Miller at Arizona, his alma mater. Burcar spent one season on Murphy's staff after a 12-year tenure as the head coach at Mesa High School.
Northern Arizona's win total in 2019-20 was more than the two previous seasons combined and the Lumberjacks had their first five-game winning streak in a decade early in the season.
MANHATTAN, Kansas (AP) - Kansas State guard Cariter Diarra is leaving the program with the intention of turning professional, though he is leaving open the option of transferring to another school for his senior season.
Wildcats coach Bruce Weber said in a statement Thursday that his leading primary ball-handler and second-leading scorer will graduate this spring. That would allow Diarra to play elsewhere next season without having to redshirt.
Diarra averaged 7.1 points as a freshman, when the Wildcats advanced all the way to the Elite Eight, and 6.8 points two years ago, when he helped them tie Texas Tech for the regular-season Big 12 championship. Diarra averaged 13.3 points and 4.2 assists last season, when the Wildcats slumped to an 11-21 record.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Southern California forward Onyeka Okongwu has declared for the NBA draft after one season.
He averaged 16.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocks for the Trojans. Okongwu broke the school record for blocks by a freshman and was named to the Pac-12's All-Conference first team and All-Freshman team.
Okongwu signed with an agent this week and announced his plans Wednesday on social media. The 6-foot-9 forward from Chino, California, is projected to be a lottery pick in the draft.
PARIS (AP) - Organizers of the European Championships in track and field still hope to stage the event in Paris in August despite France being locked down during the coronavirus pandemic.
European Athletics says it asked officials in Paris for a feasibility study for the Aug. 25-30 championships.
French officials reported their work has been ''severely compromised by France's national shutdown of non-essential activities'' during the health crisis.
However, European Athletics says ''many athletes are keen'' to see the championships go ahead as planned. It shapes up as the main medal target for European track and field athletes in 2020 after the Tokyo Olympics were postponed until next year.
The European track body's ruling council next meets May 7-8 by video conference.
ATLANTA (AP) - USA Diving will keep its Olympic trials in Indianapolis when the event is rescheduled.
With the Tokyo Olympics postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus outbreak, USA Diving formally called off the trials scheduled for June 14-21 at the IU Natatorium on the IUPUI campus near downtown Indianapolis.
The governing body said it will work with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee and the Indiana Sports Corp to reschedule the event, though that decision can't be reached until the International Olympic Committee comes up with new dates for the Tokyo Games.
All tickets that had been purchased for the U.S. diving trials will automatically be shifted to the new dates once a decision is reached. Any hotel reservations that were booked through USA Diving's site will be canceled.
MIAMI (AP) - The Florida Derby is set to have a full field and empty stands.
A field of 12 has been entered for Saturday's Florida Derby, typically one of the biggest Kentucky Derby prep races and serves as the crown jewel of the Championship Meet at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. That won't be the case this year, of course, with the coronavirus pandemic keeping virtually everyone -- bettors, fans and even owners -- away from the track for safety and health reasons.
Tiz the Law, a winner of three of his four career starts including the Holy Bull at Gulfstream last month, was installed as the 6-5 favorite at Wednesday's race draw. Fountain of Youth winner Ete Indien, who ran second to Tiz the Law in the Holy Bull, was installed as the 4-1 second choice followed by Independence Hall (9-2).
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Churchill Downs has suspended the final three racing dates at Turfway Park following Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's ''Healthy at Home'' executive order out of concern for the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Florence, Kentucky, track's winter meet was scheduled to end Saturday. Turfway's backside area will remain open because it falls under the ''life-sustaining business'' category by providing ''food, shelter and other necessities of life for animals.''
NEW YORK (AP) - Aqueduct has extended the suspension of live horse racing through at least April 5 because of the impact of the new coronavirus in New York.
As a result, the $750,000 Wood Memorial has been postponed. No make-up date has been determined yet for the major Kentucky Derby prep that was to be run on April 4.
Last Thursday, the New York Racing Association suspended racing at Aqueduct after confirmation that a backstretch worker who lived and worked at Belmont Park tested positive for COVID-19. The Belmont backstretch is home to 585 workers who tend to the daily care of more than 1,300 horses stabled on the property.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Former Buffalo Bills star linebacker Mike Stratton, who was a key member of the franchise's American Football League championship teams in the mid-1960s, has died. He was 78.
The Bills announced Stratton died Wednesday because of heart complications stemming from a recent fall. Stratton was living in his native Tennessee, where he spent his college years playing for the Volunteers.
Stratton was a hard-hitting player who is best known for what became known as ''the hit heard around the world.'' It happened in the 1964 AFL championship game against San Diego and was played in Buffalo.
Stratton was part of a Bills defense that holds the pro football record of not allowing a touchdown rushing in 17 consecutive games, spanning the 1964-65 seaons.
Selected by Buffalo in the 1962 draft, Stratton spent his first 11 seasons with the Bills. He then ended his career following 1973 season with San Diego. Stratton was a three-time All-AFL player and earned second-team AFL All-1960s team honors.
NORWALK, Conn. (AP) - Mary Roman, a world-class senior athlete who held numerous national age records in track and field, has died of complications from COVID-19, the mayor of Norwalk said. She was 83.
Roman, who also served for 20 years as Norwalk's city clerk in Connecticut, died Monday night at Norwalk Hospital, Mayor Harry Rilling said.
A childhood polio survivor, Roman began competing in senior track events in 1989 and won hundreds of medals, mostly in the throwing disciplines.
At various times, she held the American record in the shot put in the women's 65-69, 70-74 and 75-79 age groups. She also was once the nation's top-ranked thrower and ranked eighth in the world in the weight throw in the 75-79 age group.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -Former Texas A&M basketball player David Edwards, whose single-season school record for assists has stood for more than 25 years, has died in his home state of New York. He was 48.
The school said in a news release that Edwards died Monday. Former teammate Charles Henderson posted on social media that Edwards died of complications from the new coronavirus. The Associated Press couldn't independently confirm Henderson's account.
Edwards, who was from New York City, played three seasons for the Aggies from 1991-94 after transferring from Georgetown. He is second to Alex Caruso on Texas A&M's career list in assists (602) and steals (228). Edwards averaged 13.5 points per game.
