NATURAL CAUSES RULED IN FIREFIGHTER'S [Lisa Ann Farrow] DEATH
Although an Engelhard volunteer firefighter collapsed and later died after responding to a fire Wednesday, information released Thursday indicated her death was believed to stem from natural causes. Lisa A. Farrow, a member of the Engelhard Fire & Rescue Department, responded to a kitchen fire in the Hycienda Heights area. After Farrow collapsed, she was immediately treated and transported by Hyde County Rescue to Pungo District Hospital in Belhaven, where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, said Engelhard Fire Chief Tony Spencer. After receiving a preliminary report from the medical examiner on Thursday, Engelhard fire officials said the report indicated that Farrow died of acute hypoxia due to pulmonary edema. The report went on to say the cause is believed to be natural and not dramatically influenced by her fire scene activity. Farrow was an active member of the Engelhard Fire-Rescue Department, although only officially affiliated since last last year. She was a popular person in the community and was employed by the N.C. Dept. of Corrections, said Spencer. Farrow is being honored by several national fire service organizations and agencies. The N.C. Fallen Firefighters Foundation has initiated plans for a scholarship fund for Farrow's two children, ages 8 and 10. The Engelhard Fire & Rescue Dept. plans to establish a fund to assist the family with their expenses. Preliminary funeral arrangements have been made for 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 13.

FLEISCHER, Phoebe Wisner Jennette
Those of you who knew and loved my mother know how special she was. She bought joy and love to all she met with her attitude of gratitude, her positive and non-complaining outlook on life: along with her beautiful smile. Her favorite bible verse was Mathew 7;12, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I thought where do I begin to tell you about my mother so I decided to tell you how her many roles in her life impacted on the woman she was. As a daughter, she was the youngest of eleven children born on a farm in Engelhard, North Carolina almost 93 years ago. Three brothers and one sister lived to maturity. Her mother, Maria Theodosia, who had a deep abiding faith in God, was loved and referred by her children and friends as a saint. It was her mother who taught her how to pray, to trust and love God. It was a lesson my mother never forgot. Mom prayed every morning and knelt by her bed at night to pray. So when she said she would pray for you it happened. We were convinced she had a direct line to God. As a child, her best friend Earline Jones remained her friend until 1993 when Earline went to heaven to wait for my mother. Her wait is over. If Earline's mother, Miss Ella, would not let her come out to play, my mother would take chewing tobacco from the general store that her parents owned to bribe Miss Ella. It usually worked. In all the years they were friends they only had one fight. It was over a boy in school they both liked. As a sister, at age seventeen, she went to live with sister Louise and brother-in-law Al. They lived in Jackson Heights, New York in Queens. Each of the siblings before her had come to New York to live with Aunt Louise until they could find jobs and find a place of their own. There was very little money but lots of love and caring for one another. Mom worked in Horn and Hardart automat. One of the first fast food restaurants. Part of it is now in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC. According to her niece, Alma, Mom was pretty and vivacious so received many boxes of candy from her admirers. Alma would take them to school which made her popular with her classmates. The friends she made there, "Aunt" Kitty, Catherine, Tessie and Lillian remained friends for life. As a wife, she lived her marriage vows, which was not always easy to do. My father was a New Yorker who had never been on a farm. For their honeymoon they went to North Carolina to stay with her friend Earline and husband Cecil. Their first morning there they woke up to see a calf with his head sticking in the open bedroom window. My father jumped out of bed yelling, "What's that?" He had never seen a calf before. My mother enjoyed laughingly telling that story many times. As a mother, my sister Doris and I knew we were loved and cared for. When we heard her say, "When I say no I mean no." we knew there would be no more discussion about us being able to do something she did not want us to do. When we would ask her who her favorite was, she always said that she had no favorite and what she did for one she did for the other. As a result when she went shopping on Steinway with Mrs. Pugliese and Kitty, Doris and I would get the same teapot, towels etc. When I came to see her a few weeks ago and told her that her favorite daughter was here she smiled at me and said that she had no favorite. She poured so much of her life into us. She taught us to pray, rely on God and thank God for His blessings to us. This was just like her mother taught her. She took us to this church when I was five. Doris and I went to Sunday School, Methodist Youth Fellowship, sang in the choir and had our Girl Scout meetings there. I still love looking at the beautiful stained glass windows. Each one telling a story about Jesus. She was a member for sixty five years. She was also a member of the Salvation Army and the Women's Home League for fifty three years. She, by her example, taught us to be independent, responsible adults and to have God as our most influential friend. Once when I told her something I had done that I was so ashamed and guilty about, she hugged me and said, "At least you are doing something about it." She was always there for me with her unconditional love. I have lost my cheerleader. As a grandmother, there was a special bond with them. When they were little she would take them on their birthdays to do and get them what ever they wanted. She would pin their name, address and phone number inside their clothes in case they got lost. Of course they never did. She looked forward to Jimmy calling her every Sunday and he did. Again, she had no favorites. When our families became blended she became Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma to all the newly acquired members. She would say that she did not have a son-in-law but a son who was one in a million. Charlie and her would banter back and forth. It was fun to listen to them. She always had the answers. The great-grandchildren called her Sugar. Her laughter and beautiful smile when she saw them was contagious and the fun would begin. Mom loved the celebrations. Sitting on Santa's lap at Christmas, birthdays, weddings, christenings, communions, confirmations and whatever party was going on she was there. As a friend, her door was always open. When you came in the tea kettle went on and something good to eat was put on the table. She always had time for her friends. We found three address books. Everyone got birthday cards. The adults got a book of stamps inside. Her friend Isabel said she could never forget her birthday because she would get a card from my mother. When the doctors at the hospital told her she had cancer and only a few months to live, they looked very glum. She smiled at them and said she was in God's hands and He would take care of her. They said they also would take care of her. Her reply was that God gave them the wisdom to know what to do for her. She then opened her arms and asked for a hug .She said, "God bless you and your families." They left smiling. While at Hospice the women from the Salvation Army Home League came to visit on one of my mother's last good days. They prayed, sang songs and played Bingo. What a gift they gave my mother. I know without a doubt I will be with my mother again in Heaven. There we will have eternal life together. Till then she will always be in my heart.
A blog posted by Janet: (excerpt)
This morning I attended a funeral for a lovely woman of 93. Her name was Phoebe Fleisher and she's my second cousin's mother-in-law. I didn't know her, but I know Phoebe's daughter Doris and she's a sweetheart of a person. The funeral was a celebration of this woman's dynamic life. Phoebe served for 50 years in the Salvation Army here in New York City. She served at her church on Sundays and throughout the year for special events. Friends spoke at the service and said Phoebe never forgot their birthdays and always had the card in the mail early (enclosing a book of U.S. stamps as a gift). She raised two fabulous daughters and many grandchildren. She enjoyed life and always offered a hand to a neighbor in need. One woman at the service had by chance moved into Phoebe's building years ago... and it was a blessing to this woman because she said she desperately needed a stranger's kindness and Phoebe offered it generously.
As I walked home from the funeral this morning, I thought about Phoebe. And, I thought about my own life. I shouldn't feel guilty if I take time away from writing to visit a friend, or attend a party, or meet a relative for a Broadway show. That's what life is all about -- connecting, sharing and loving. That's not to say we get to skip our work commitment, but we can't become so self-absorbed to lose precious times and days with our loved ones and friends. Our characters are fictional -- our family and friends are real.
I think we become better writers by being out in the world as well as parked at our desks.
Thanks, Phoebe, for that reminder.

U.S. air travelers should get ready to pay more to support the federal government.
The congressional budget deal reached Tuesday proposes raising the fee charged for airport security to $5.60 per flight beginning July 1. Right now, travelers pay $2.50 for a direct flight or $5 maximum if the flight has a stopover. Under the proposed plan, the fee, whether there is a stopover or not, would be $5.60 each way.
The fee increase would raise an estimated $390 million for the federal budget after it takes effect July 1, and $1.5 billion by 2023. The additional money will go to the government general fund, not to airport security.
Previously, Airlines of America, the airlines' trade association, placed the current cost of all federal and local taxes for a one-stop ticket at $61 for an average $238 ticket with one stopover, or 26 percent of the cost of a fare.
That does not include charges levied by individual airlines, which include the now-common checked bag fee of $25 and up to $200 for a changed reservation fee.
Frequent-flier groups griped about what they see as balancing the federal budget on the backs of airline travelers.
"It's particularly frustrating that the government has once again leaned on the already-overtaxed airline industry to try to close the deficit," said Brett Snyder, author of the Crankyflier.com website. "What's even worse is that they are pitching this as directly paying for security costs when, in fact, it will just go into the general fund, unlike previous versions."
Rick Seaney of the travel fee comparison website farecompare.com said the latest increase bumps the roundtrip fee by 120 percent, regardless of the distance traveled, even as airlines have struggled to raise fares.
"This year airlines have failed over nine times to try to increase domestic leisure airfares by as little as $4 roundtrip – due in large part to the price sensitivity of travelers in the current economy," Seaney said. "This new fee, while being absorbed directly by passengers, is going to cause carriers heartburn in ticket sales," especially on shorter routes that are priced under $200 roundtrip.

This Week in Milwaukee: July 24-30
Thursday, July 24
Jurassic 5 w/ Dilated Peoples, Beat Junkies and MC Supernatural @ The Rave, 7:30 p.m.
The Los Angeles group Jurassic 5 formed in 1993 during the golden age of hip-hop with a sound that was much closer to jazzy contemporaries A Tribe Called Quest than the gangsta rap of Snoop Dogg or the Wu-Tang Clan. The groupŌĆÖs four rappers trade verses in a style that highlights the diversity of personalities within the group, counterpointed by harmonized choruses that blend the rappersŌĆÖ distinctive voices into a unified whole. That sound won them a loyal audience through the early 2000s, but by 2007 theyŌĆÖd split up, citing disagreements over their musical direction. Last year they put those differences aside and reunited, paving the way for this yearŌĆÖs Word of Mouth Reunion Tour.
Jazz in the Park: Nick Waterhouse @ Cathedral Square Park, 6 p.m.
The mixture of soul, jazz and R&B that became Motown in the 1960s is still finding a voice 50 years later. Nick Waterhouse joins artists such as Mayer Hawthorne and Aloe Blacc in creating the spirit of vintage soul music for the modern era. Backed by jazzy horns and lively percussion, as well as female backing singers, Waterhouse creates a full and authentic sound that meshes well with Jazz in the ParkŌĆÖs broad definition of jazz music. His second album Holly was released in 2014 and highlights WaterhouseŌĆÖs rich vocals with jazz piano and rockabilly guitar.
Friday, July 25

Riverwest 24 @ Riverwest Between Booth Street and Humboldt Boulevard, 7 p.m.
Each summer, hundreds of cyclists take to the streets of Riverwest for the cityŌĆÖs most imaginative bike race, the Riverwest 24, which doubles as a neighborhood-wide party. Riders receive points for each lap completed, but can also earn points at bonus checkpoints announced the day of the race, many of which are neighborhood businesses offering challenges. Competitors can advance their team by getting tattooed, for instance, or by participating in impromptu dance offs and other activities. Meanwhile, spectators line the sidewalks, cheering on racers and treating them with water, snacks and baked goods. In conjunction with the race, once again this year Art*Bar will be hosting MishMash Fest, a block party featuring live music, food trucks and a talent competition. ItŌĆÖll begin at 3 p.m. on Friday; The Fatty Acids headline later that night at 10 p.m.
Natalie Merchant @ The Pabst Theater, 8 p.m.
While her folky, college-rock band 10,000 Maniacs continued without her, singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant went solo, releasing in 1995 her hit debut album, Tigerlily. Her work since has alternated between sentimental easy listening for the adult contemporary set and unexpectedly experimental and ambitious. Her 1998 album Ophelia examined the Shakespeare character from a feminist perspective; 2001ŌĆÖs Motherland incorporated orchestral sounds and world-music undertones; and 2010ŌĆÖs Leave Your Sleep paid tribute to poets including Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Graves and Christina Rossetti. This spring she released her latest album, a softly folky self-titled album with subtle gospel touches.
ŌĆśTrailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor DayŌĆÖ @ Turner Hall Ballroom, 6:30 p.m.

Michael Bubl├® @ BMO Harris Bradley Center, 7:30 p.m.
A winning smile and an infectious sense of good cheer are the hallmarks of Michael Bubl├®ŌĆÖs performances. Both in terms of his music and his personality, Bubl├® is just a nice guy to be around. Nominally a jazz vocalist, he tackles standards by Frank Sinatra, Smokey Robinson and Randy Newman with ease, while working in broad, brassy and consistently upbeat original songs. Expect him to run through plenty of classic songs during his performance, as well as cuts from his latest album To Be Loved, which delivers enough jaunty good cheer to wipe away any amount of the blues.
Wednesday, July 30
Vance Joy w/ Meg Myers @ The Rave, 7:30 p.m.
Milwaukee will see another Australian indie rock show this week, following last weekŌĆÖs performance by Boy and Bear. Former club soccer player and folk-rock musician Vance Joy brings his fragile tenor to The Rave for another night of down-under indie music. Following in the footsteps of Of Monsters and Men, James Vincent McMorrow, The Lumineers and the many other modern acts who channel the power of slowly building acoustic folk music, Vance Joy builds his music from simple guitar strums to grand arrangements and back down again.

Incarcerated women more likely to use birth control when given in jail
Easy access to contraceptives for at-risk populations is keyProvidence, RI � Women who are incarcerated are much more likely to start using birth control when it is offered to them in prison than through community health services after their release, according to a study by researchers at Rhode Island Hospital and Brown Medical School. The results are reported in the May issue of the American Journal of Public Health.
The study is significant because incarcerated women who are released into the community are at high risk for unplanned pregnancies, as well as medical complications to the mother and baby from alcohol and drug use.
"Women are accessing birth control services when they're made available in correctional institutions, and we should be making those services available throughout the country," says lead author Jennifer G. Clarke, MD, MPH, an internist at Rhode Island Hospital and the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RI DOC), and an assistant professor of medicine at Brown Medical School. "If we want to help empower women in their recovery from drugs and alcohol, for example, we need to give them the tools so they can plan their pregnancy during a time when they're more stable."
The study found that women overall were 14 times more likely to start using birth control when it was offered in prison. Thirty-nine percent of incarcerated women started birth control when it was offered before their release, while only 4 percent took advantage of free birth control offered at a community health center after their release.
When researchers looked at women with similar background, education and sexual history, they found that women in the second group were 20 times more likely to use contraceptives offered in prison.
There are a number of barriers that may prevent women from seeking birth control once they are released. Previous research has shown that being Hispanic, married and homeless were associated with decreased contraceptive use. This study found that women who were monogamous and lived with their partner were less likely to use contraceptives.
"Simply making contraceptive services freely available in the community � was insufficient to engage large numbers of women in contraceptive services," the authors say, citing that women are faced with other priorities, such as housing, food and families when released from prison.
The study looked at women ages 18 to 35 who were at risk for an unplanned pregnancy and serving time or awaiting trial at the RI DOC. In phase 1 of the study, 119 women participated before contraceptive services were available on site. Phase 2 included 105 women who were evaluated after contraceptive services were made available at the correctional facility. Contraceptive services were made available through a joint effort of Title X funds, the Rhode Island Department of Health and the RI DOC.
Participants were surveyed about their desire to use birth control, as well as history of sexual activity and sexually transmitted diseases, number of pregnancies, previous birth control use, sexual abuse and drug use � along with demographic factors.
The majority of women had no health insurance, a history of unplanned pregnancies, negative attitudes toward pregnancy, and expressed a desire to start or continue using birth control. Of the women surveyed, the majority had experienced an unplanned pregnancy, and 32 percent of women had had at least one abortion.
All women in the study received family planning and reproductive health services. A nurse educator worked at both the prison and the health center, providing a link to services in the community. At the time of their release, women in both groups were offered a follow-up appointment at the health center, as well as free transportation to the appointment. However, women in the second group were also offered free birth control in prison, "thus requiring little organization or effort by the client," the authors write.
"This approach also allows women to make a contraceptive choice free of the influence of drugs or alcohol and, in some cases, independent of an abusive partner," the paper states.
Contrary to previous research, this study found that homeless women were more likely to start using birth control, possibly because "the structural barriers to reproductive health services that are insurmountable outside of prison have been removed."
Women were considered to initiate birth control if they were given Depo-Provera, had an intrauterine device inserted, or were prescribed an oral or transdermal hormonal contraceptive. Condom use was not considered reliable birth control, as it is not consistently documented in medical charts.
Although nearly 80 percent of the women in the second group expressed a desire to start using birth control, only 47 percent did so. The authors surmise that some women were released from prison before seeing a physician, while others may not have expected to be sexually active for several months while in jail, but were released sooner than expected.
One solution is to provide nurse and physician assessments more immediately to women interested in contraceptives. The authors say they plan to work with the courts and rehabilitative centers to ensure that women who want contraceptives can receive them.
"There are many women incarcerated in this country, and the population is growing," Clarke says. "The majority of women in the study wanted to start a birth control method. Making birth control convenient for women and empowering women to make reproductive choices is very important if we want to prevent high-risk, unplanned pregnancies."
The study was conducted by researchers from Rhode Island Hospital and Brown Medical School, both in Providence, RI. The research was supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

How Claudio Marchisio created Mario Balotelli's winning goal vs. England
Italy came away with a 2-1 victory over England on Saturday night in Manaus, winning a thrilling, back-and-forth contest through goals from Claudio Marchisio and Mario Balotelli.
Daniel Sturridge equalized shortly after Marchisio's wonderfully worked opener, but it was the aforementioned AC Milan striker who won the plaudits for his vital header that delivered all three points to the Azzurri.
In truth, it was the Juventus midfielder who should be getting the praise.
The manner in which Marchisio cleverly opened space for Balotelli to score the match-winner was fantastic, and won't show up in any scoresheets.
First, the goal in full:
Let's take a look at how the goal developed.
Matteo Darmian picks up the ball on the right wing, and Danny Welbeck fails to track back and offer support to Leighton Baines.
This forces Baines (circled) to step up and close down the space of Darmian, opening up a gap in behind for Antonio Candreva to run into, which he gladly accepts.
This is where Claudio Marchisio becomes vital. The midfielder is well outside the box when Candreva picks up the ball, and is being marked by Glen Johnson, who himself is in solid position in behind center-back Gary Cahill. Should a cross go to the deep post at this point, Johnson would be able to support Cahill and make the clearance.
But Marchisio, so adept at making deep runs into the box from his midfield position, does exactly that, dashing into the area and dragging Johnson along with him to the first post. Look where Johnson ends up after tracking the Juventus man into the area:
That leaves Cahill in a one-on-one situation with Balotelli, and when Candreva whips in a perfect cross to the back post, Cahill, caught ball watching just slightly, has no support in behind from Johnson.
That leaves Balotelli with an easy finish, heading the ball into an open goal from inside the six-yard box, and ultimately giving Italy the crucial three points.
Balotelli and Candreva will get all of the attention, but Marchisio's role in the tally cannot be overlooked. Combined with his great strike for the opening goal of the contest, Marchisio will be very happy with his body of work on the night.
He should be.
