Cancer free

By DEBANINA SEATON The Commercial ReviewThere are only two homes

along a nearly 2-mile stretch ofcounty road 500 West in north-western Jay County. One ofthose in the rural area housesTrent Paxson and his family,which is preparing sheep for 4-Hshows at Jay County Fair-grounds. Trent and his family, especial-

ly his children, are full of energyas they tie up the livestock to asmall tractor. But almost a yearago, that wasn't the case.Trent, 49, a father, husband,

farmer, former teacher anddirector of testing and assess-ment for Jay School Corporation,is a survivor of Hodgkin's Lym-phoma. The form of cancer caus-es cells to grow abnormally andpotentially outside of the lym-phatic system.What seemed like a small

issue, finding bumps on the roofof his mouth in February lastyear, led to a general doctor'svisit. Trent said he was encour-aged to see an otolaryngologist ifthe bumps persisted. “At the same time, I was hav-

ing trouble breathing throughthe nose,” he said.

On May 19, 2015, he receivedthe news that he was diagnosedwith cancer, two and a halfweeks after having a biopsy.That period was supposed to

be joyous, as Trent was aboutto witness his nephew graduat-ing from high school in Cali-fornia.

“I didn't tell anyone untilafter,” he said, which includedhis immediate family, parentsand coworkers. “The hardestthing was telling the kids whatit was, what could happen,treatment and side effects.” Trent didn't know what treat-

ments he would receive untilafter a series of tests — CTscans, MRIs, blood work, bonemarrow tests, echocardiogramand biopsy — but began hisfirst round of chemotherapyJune 3 at Jay County Hospital. Treatment included having a

port attached to his body fromwhich five different medica-tions were inserted for aboutsix hours a day. In between, hewas given pills to prevent nau-sea and five days after wasrequired to take “bad-tastingsteroid pills” to maintain hisappetite and metabolism.

By ERICA WERNERAP Congressional CorrespondentWASHINGTON — A

drained and dwindlinggroup of Democrats car-ried their remarkableHouse floor sit-in into themorning today, disruptingthe business of Congressin the wake of the Orlandoshooting rampage andmaking demands for gun-control votes in an extraor-dinary protest broadcastlive to the world.Republicans, who con-

trol the chamber, refusedto yield, branding themove a publicity stunt andsummarily adjourning thechamber at about 3:15 a.m.EDT until after the Fourthof July. By 9:30 a.m., 22hours after the protestcommenced, about a dozenDemocrats remained.They gave speeches thatmixed victory declarationswith promises not to backdown in their drive to curbfirearm violence.“It’s rightful indigna-

tion,” Rep. Paul Tonko, D-N.Y., said about the Demo-cratic sit-in and the posi-tive reaction it was gettingfrom supporters. “Americahas had enough.”When Republicans

streamed to the exits hoursearlier, Democrats stayedbehind on the House floor,shouting “No bill nobreak!” and waving paperswith the names of gun vic-tims written in black. Rep.Maxine Waters, D-Calif.,said she was ready to stay“until Hell freezes over.”With a crowd cheering

them on from outside theCapitol and many more fol-lowing the theatrics onsocial media, Democratsdeclared success in drama-tizing the argument foraction to stem gun vio-lence.“Just because they cut

and run in the dark ofnight, just because theyhave left doesn’t mean weare taking no for ananswer,” said Democraticleader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.Republicans fiercely

resisted the pressure andsaid Democrats had accom-plished nothing other thandisrupting the business ofthe House to score politicalpoints.

By GRIFF WITTE,KARLA ADAM and DAN BALZThe Washington PostLONDON — Britons from the far

Scottish isles to the tip of Gibraltarbegan casting their ballots today in ahistoric referendum that couldreshape Britain’s place in Europeand radiate economic, political andsecurity implications across theglobe.After months of bitter campaign-

ing that sharply divided the countryover questions of immigration andidentity, election day dawned with acliffhanger. Among the five pollsreleased on the eve of the vote, twoshowed a lead for “in,” two gave theedge to “out” and one forecast a tie.The final average of all polls was 50-50, with Britons evenly split overwhether the country should exit the28-member European Union.Although “leave” had been lead-

ing the polls as of last week,“remain” has caught up since pro-E.U. member of Parliament Jo Coxwas fatally shot and stabbed lastweek, jolting the country andprompting calls for an end to someof the campaign’s more hateful rhet-oric.Voting takes place throughout the

day today, and the results are expect-ed early Friday.

part of the treatment, hesaid. His taste budschanged with every med-ication, requiring him toeat spicier fare.But during his treat-

ments, the support hereceived from his circleof friends, family andcoworkers kept him in apositive frame of mind. He received multiple

prayers, especially fromthe congregation he is apart of at Union ChapelChurch in Bryant.Answering questions

about the treatmentprocess was nothing tomind, he added, becausefor others to understandthe disease and what itdoes to the family bene-fitted him.

“It will make you tired,irritable (and) grouchy —according to my family,”he said with a chuckle.His oldest daughter

Gabi recalls her fatherbeing tired. But she alsosaid he didn’t allow thedisease to change him.“He never became a dif-

ferent person,” she said.“He could still talk to me.He still had some of hisenergy left. Now he’s gotit back.”“I’m just happy that

you’re better,” added hisson Ty, “and happy thatyou didn’t …” He doesn’t finish the

thought with that omi-nous word — die —instead indicating whathe means with a motionto his father.Dealing with the

youngest daughter, Madi.“I’m glad he’s not lazyanymore.”Trent’s final treatment

informed he was cancerfree. Though it wouldseem a merry time, heremembers feelingstrange.“I felt, ‘You’re dealing

DEAR ABBY: I have foughtobesity all of my adult life, andmy weight has yo-yoed over theyears. My problem is, when I goto the doctor’s office and I amtaken to the exam area, the scaleis right out in the open whereother patients come and go aswell as all the office personnel.Mind you, I don’t care if I am

weighed in the presence of peo-ple walking around — if theydon’t peek. However, when themedical assistant is done weigh-ing me, she reads the scale outloud. I have felt humiliated whenother patients are walking past.I have put up with this for years. Recently, this medical assis-

tant weighed me and I just knewshe was going to “announce” myweight. This time there was a

man I could tell was a patient,standing nearby at the receptionwindow staring intently at megetting weighed. Because I wassure the M.A. was going to say itout loud, I started to cough to tryto muffle the sound of her voice.It worked, but then she actedirritated because of my cough-ing, so she repeated it loudly. Iwas very embarrassed, to saythe least. When the doctor sawme, I was afraid to say anything

as I didn’t want to get anybodyin trouble. I graduated from a medical

assistant school many years agoand I remember the registerednurse who was our instructortaught us to never say out loudsomebody’s weight when youweigh him or her. It only makescommon sense. I no longer wantto go back to that doctor’s office. Do you have any advice for me

when this happens again? I sayagain because it happens atother doctor’s offices I visit aswell. I am at a loss here. I wouldappreciate your input. — STILLSTINGING IN NEVADA DDEEAARR SSTTIILLLL SSTTIINNGGIINNGG:: TThhee

By LEONARD PITTS JR.Tribune Content AgencyOn Saturday, someone tried to

kill Donald Trump.You may not have heard about

it. The story didn’t get much play,the attempt wasn’t well plannedand the candidate was never injeopardy.Still the fact remains that

authorities arrested one MichaelSteven Sandford, 19, after heallegedly tried to grab a gunfrom the holster of a Las Vegaspolice officer with the idea ofusing it to kill Trump at a cam-paign rally. Authorities say Sand-ford, who carried a UK driver’slicense but who had been livingin New Jersey for about a yearand a half, had visited a nearbygun range to learn how to handlea firearm. They say he has want-ed to kill Trump for a year.Let us be thankful he was not

successful. The assassination ofDonald Trump would have beena new low for a political seasonthat is already the most dispirit-

ing in memory. It would havedeprived a family of its fatherand husband. It would have trau-matized a nation where politicalmurder has been a too-frequenttragedy.And it would have imparted

the moral authority of martyr-dom to Trump’s ideas. Thatwould be a disaster in its ownright.Like most would-be assassins,

what Sandford apparently didnot understand is that you can-not kill an idea with a bullet.Even bad ideas are imperviousto gunfire.Trump, of course, has been a

veritable Vesuvius of bad ideas

in the year since he took thatescalator ride into the race forthe presidency. From banningMuslim immigrants to buildinga wall on the southern border topunishing women who haveabortions to advocating guns innightclubs to judging judicial fit-ness based on heritage, to killingthe wives and children of terrorsuspects, if there has been ahideous, unserious or flat-outstupid thought floated in thispolitical season, odds are, it car-ried the Trump logo.It is understandable, then, that

even people who wish Trump nobodily harm might feel as Sand-ford presumably did: that if hewere somehow just ... gone, thestench of his ideas — of hisanger, nativism, coarseness andproud ignorance — might some-how waft away like trash-firesmoke in a breeze.But it doesn’t work that way.

Martin Luther King’s dream ofracial equality did not die on thebalcony of the Lorraine Motel.

Nor did Adolf Hitler’s dream ofracial extermination perish withhim in that bunker beneathBerlin. Ideas, both transcendentand repugnant, are far hardierthan the fragile lives of the menand women who give them voice.So, any hope that Trump’s dis-

appearance would somehow fixAmerica is naive. America’sproblem has nothing to do withhim, except to the degree he hasmade himself a focal point.No, America’s problem is fear.

Fear of economic stagnation,yes, and fear of terrorism. Butthose are proxies for the biggerand more fundamental fear: fearof demographic diminution, oflosing the privileges and prerog-atives that have always comewith being straight, white, maleand/or Christian in America. Itwas the holy quadfecta of entitle-ment, but that entitlement isunder siege in a nation thatgrows more sexually, raciallyand religiously diverse withevery sunrise.

Trumpism is only the loudestand most obvious response tothat, and it will not disappearwhen he does. Indeed, there is noinstant cure for what has Ameri-ca unsettled. There is only timeand the hard work of change.In a sense, we are bringing

forth a new nation, conceived inliberty and dedicated to theproposition that all men andwomen really are created equal.If for some of us, that fires theimagination, it is hardly myste-rious that for others, it kindles asense of displacement and loss.The good news is that theirTrumpism cannot survive in thenew nation.In the end, you see, only one

thing can kill a bad idea.And that’s a better one.

Only a good idea can Trump badLeonardPitts Jr.

The Washington PostEvery year, more than 1

million children andteenagers in the UnitedStates suffer a concus-sion.Or maybe closer to 2

million do: A study pub-lished Monday in thejournal Pediatrics is themost precise estimate todate of sports- and recre-ation-related concussionsamong American youths— but it is still not pre-cise, because there is nonational system thattracks all concussions.Most attention to the

United States’ concus-sion crisis has centeredon professional and colle-giate football players.Last week, the Univer-

sity of Notre Dame’s starwide receiver, CoreyRobinson — son of Bas-ketball Hall of FamerDavid Robinson —announced he was quit-ting football after threediagnosed concussions inthe past year.In March 2015, San

Francisco 49ers line-backer Chris Borlandabruptly retired from theNational Football Leagueafter just one season ofprofessional ball, callingthe game “inherentlydangerous.”He has a point: Study

after study reveal a con-nection between footballand brain injuries thatcan lead to memory loss,depression and death.We’ve said before that

the NFL must reform itsgame.But concussions don’t

happen only in sold-outstadiums: As this newstudy shows, they alsoare all too common onhigh school fields andeven kindergarten play-grounds — and not just infootball.The researchers esti-

mate between 1.1 millionand 1.9 million childrenare concussed annually.But they can’t be surehow big the problem is.Many concussions go

unnoticed; many chil-dren go untreated.What’s more, most moni-toring systems focus onstudent-athletes, whenrecreation league gamescan carry as much risk.Each system culls inci-dence information fromonly one type of provider,whereas injured youthsreceive care in a variety

of settings. That meansthere’s no centralizedsource to see who is get-ting concussed — or how.The Centers for Dis-

ease Control and Preven-tion plans to create andoversee a surveillancesystem to collect data onconcussions across thecountry, as the Instituteof Medicine has recom-mended.That system should

focus on capturing con-cussion rates among allpopulations — especiallyyouths, and not justschool athletes — with aneye toward risk factorsand opportunities forintervention.There’s a long way to

go on concussion controlfor children and adultsalike. Better data collec-tion will not solve prob-lems of underdiagnosisor improper care, and it’sstill hard to say whatchanges to sporting rulescould cut down oninjuries — whetherspeeding the play clock inthe NFL or limiting soc-cer-ball heading amongyoung children, as theU.S. Soccer Federationhas recommended. But acentralized system wouldmark a step forward:Without the numbers tounderstand the problem,it’s hard to begin thework of prevention in anintelligent way.

Data neededon concussions

By BARRY RITHOLTZBloomberg View I never cease to be amazed how peo-

ple with an agenda massage facts, oromit them, to support their cause.I was reminded of this recently

when I read a report from the Ameri-can Action Forum that says that justfive year ago, the market value of thefour biggest coal companies wasmore than $35 billion. Since then, thathas plunged 99 percent and some ofthe biggest producers have filed forbankruptcy.What is to blame for this stunning

loss? The report sums it up in word:regulation. The “War on Coal,” thereport says, has imposed “$312 billionin costs and more than 30 millionpaperwork burden hours” on theindustry.Such a nice, neat explanation. But

there’s more to it than regulationdesigned mainly to limit how muchpollution the industry spews into theair. Let’s take a closer look at what fac-tors might be behind the demise ofthe coal companies:1) Cheap natural gas: Coal-fired

plants have been the workhorses ofU.S. electrical generation for the bet-ter part of a century. But many utili-ties are switching from coal to natu-ral gas as an energy source. It isn’tonly greener, it’s cheaper, partlybecause it costs less to move gasthrough a pipeline than it costs totransport coal by ship, rail or truck.Also helping to lower prices is theboom in fracking, which opened upvast new sources of natural gas.It now appears that natural gas

overtook coal as the top U.S. powersource last year. That trend is likely toaccelerate: as of 2015, about 20 per-cent of the country’s coal-fired plantswere facing retirement. Expect those

to be replaced or retrofitted to burnnatural gas. This matters because theelectric-power generation used 92.8percent of the total U.S. coal supply asof 2014. Coal accounts for 29 percentof electrical generation.It obviously isn’t good for your

business when your largest cus-tomers are abandoning your productfor something cheaper.2) Debt: Peabody Coal, the nation’s

largest coal producer with 19 percentof the market, filed for Chapter 11bankruptcy reorganization earlierthis year. The bankruptcy affectsabout $8.4 billion in loan and bonddebt. It didn’t help that Peabody spent$5.1 billion for Australia’s MacArthurCoal in 2012 as coal prices plunged.Arch Coal, the No. 2 U.S. coal pro-

ducer with 13.6 percent of the market,also filed for Chapter 11. The compa-ny had $4.5 billion in debt, most ofwhich it ran up amid a series of ill-timed acquisitions in 2011, just beforethe price of coal collapsed.Other top coal producers that filed

for bankruptcy include Patriot Coal,Alpha Coal, Walter Energy andJames River Coal.3) Clean Energy: Coal is a dirty

energy source. It fouls the air andleaves behind abandoned mines thatdouble as hazardous waste sites thatneed to be cleaned up, often at taxpay-er expense. These are what econo-mists call externalities, meaning

someone other than the coal compa-nies bears the cost of the pollutionthey cause.So while much of the political rhet-

oric is aimed at White House plansfor renewable energy, you may havemissed where the action is: at thestate level, where regulators arerequiring the utilities they oversee tocut coal use.As Slate’s Dan Gross notes, 29

states have so-called renewable port-folio standards. These mandate a ris-ing percentage of clean-energy use,and that usually means somethingother than coal. New state air-qualitystandards also rule out coal as anenergy source for new or refurbishedelectrical-generation plants. Further-more, nine states on the East Coasthave started a regional greenhousegas initiative to limit emissions. Thatmeans more natural gas and greenenergy, less coal.The decline of the American coal

industry has been driven by manyforces. Yes, the regulatory burden hasincreased, but it is hardly the mainfactor — and it’s well justified, basedon the harm coal does to the environ-ment and human health.The reality is that coal is the victim

of competition from cheaper naturalgas, from green-energy sources likesolar and wind, and too much debttaken on to pay for costly and ill-timed acquisitions. Having an agendaonly gets in the way of understandingthis.

To runWASHINGTON —

Former Republicanpresidential candidateMarco Rubioannounced Wednesdayhe will run for re-elec-tion to the Senate fromFlorida, reversing hisretirement plansunder pressure fromGOP leaders deter-mined to hang onto hisseat and Senate con-trol.The 45-year-old first-

term senator hadrepeatedly describedhis frustration withthe slow-moving Sen-ate, and had beenexpected to enter theprivate sector and pre-pare for another presi-dential run in 2020. Buthe’d been rethinkinghis plans, particularlyfollowing the massacrein Orlando and con-fronting a pressurecampaign led by Sen-ate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell.

Storms hitCHICAGO — At least

four tornadoes toucheddown in northern Illi-nois overnight as pow-erful storms sweptacross the upper Mid-west, damaging ruralcommunities and forc-ing thousands of soc-cer fans to seek shelterduring the Copa Amer-ica semifinal in Chica-go.The National Weath-

er Service in Chicagosaid survey crews willinvestigate damagetoday along three sepa-rate supercell paths.The number of con-firmed tornadoes willlikely increase, theweather service said.Officials also plannedto request a survey ofthe damage by air,although a dense fogadvisory was in effectfor much of northernIllinois early today.

In reviewBALTIMORE (AP) — A judge acquitted

a police driver of all charges today in thedeath of 25-year-old arrestee FreddieGray, whose broken neck on the way tothe station set off Baltimore’s worst riotsin decades.Six officers were charged in Gray’s

death, but only Officer Caesar Goodsonwas accused of “depraved heart” murder.Gray was fatally injured after officersbound his hands and feet and Goodsonleft him unprotected by a seat belt thatprosecutors say would have kept himfrom slamming into the van’s metalwalls.Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry

Williams also found Goodson not guilty

of manslaughter, assault, misconduct inoffice, and reckless endangerment afterfive days of testimony in the non-jurytrial.Williams said the state failed to show

that Goodson knew he’d harm Gray byleaving him unbuckled, or that he wasaware of the injury.“The state failed to prove the defendant

knew or should have known that Mr. Grayneeded medical care,” the judge said.“Unlike in a shooting or a stabbing, or a

car accident, this injury manifests itselfinternally,” Williams said, citing conflict-ing testimony from medical experts. “Ifthe doctors weren’t clear, how would aperson without medical training know?”

Police driver acquitted

Continued from page 1House Speaker Paul

Ryan, R-Wis., called it “apublicity stunt.”Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.,

who had participated inthe civil rights sit-ins inthe South in the 1960s, saidDemocrats had “crossedone bridge.” He added, “Wehave other bridges tocross,” and said Democrats“made a down payment onending gun violence” inAmerica.At one point overnight,

the two sides nearly cameto blows after Rep. LouieGohmert, R-Texas,approached the Democratsand yelled, “RadicalIslam!” Rep. CorrineBrown, D-Fla., startedyelling back. The two camewithin inches of eachother, both screaming, onlyto be separated by col-leagues.Pressure had built on

Capitol Hill following theshootings at a Florida gaynightclub this month thatkilled 49 people andinjured 53 others. Theassailant also died in theincident. The mass attackfollowed similar tragicincidents over the pastyears including the ele-mentary school shootingin Newtown, Connecticut.The agitation for action

caused a Senate filibusterlast week and led to thechaos in the House, a spec-tacle captured the atten-

tion of a Washington grid-locked on guns.House Republicans used

their prerogatives as themajority party to musclethrough, with no time fordebate, a partisan bill thatprovides money for theZika crisis. GOP lawmak-ers overruled Democrats’objections and then actedto adjourn the House intonext month. Democratscried “Shame, Shame!”Republicans shut off the

cameras in the Housegallery throughout most ofthe protest, but Democratsused their cellphones tocapture the action. C-SPANcarried the feeds live viaPeriscope and Facebook, inan unprecedented move.Ryan said the gun bills

pushed by Democrats, toexpand background checksand keep people on the no-fly list from getting guns,would take away people’sconstitutional rights anddeprive them of dueprocess. He noted that theSenate this week rejectedsimilar legislation.The protest began

around 11:30 a.m. Wednes-day, unfolding on theHouse floor with littleadvance warning from theDemocrats. Most of the 188Democrats took turnsspeaking, joined by dozensof Senate Democrats.Scattered around the

House floor were signsreading “Disarm Hate.”

Stage ...

By JULIE PACE and JILL COLVINAssociated PressNEW YORK — Donald Trump

launched a blistering attackWednesday on Hillary Clinton’srecord and character, slamminghis presidential rival as a“world class liar” who raked inpersonal profits from her tenureat the State Department. Thebillionaire businessmanclaimed, “She gets rich makingyou poor.”Trump’s broadside marked

his opening salvo in a generalelection faceoff with Clintonthat has already turned bruis-ing and deeply personal. Thepresumptive Republican nomi-nee called Clinton the “most cor-rupt” person to ever run forpresident and accused of her ofspreading “death, destructionand terrorism” while serving asthe nation’s top diplomat.Clinton, campaigning in

North Carolina, called Trump’scharges “outlandish lies.”“He’s going after me personal-

ly because he has no answers onthe substance,” Clinton said.“All he can try to do is try to dis-tract us.”Trump’s tone was pointed yet

measured as he ticked throughseveral of Republicans’ favoritecritiques of Clinton, includingher use of private email as sec-retary of state and her role inresponding to the attacks onAmericans in Benghazi, Libya.Several of his claims were inac-

curate or exaggerated, includ-ing incorrectly saying she wantsto spend hundreds of billions toresettle Middle Easternrefugees in the United States.Wednesday’s address came at

a pivotal moment for Trump’spresidential campaign. Thepolitical novice has struggledwith the transition to a generalelection race, getting boggeddown by self-created controver-sies and failing to invest in the

staff and infrastructure neededfor the fall campaign.Earlier this week, Trump

abruptly fired his campaign man-ager Corey Lewandowski, a movewidely viewed as an acknowledg-ment of a need to recalibrate hisorganization. A new fundraisingreport released hours afterLewandowski’s firing under-scored how much ground Trumphas to make up: He started Junewith just $1.3 million in the bank,

a stunningly paltry amount for amajor party nominee.Even as Trump blasted Clin-

ton, he returned to some of thecore themes that first poweredhis surprising presidential cam-paign. He railed against profes-sional politicians and urgedAmericans to seize an opportuni-ty to shake up a “rigged” system.“This election will decide

whether we’re ruled by the peo-ple or the politicians,” Trump

said, standing before a friendlyaudience in a ballroom at hishotel in New York’s SoHo neigh-borhood.While he assailed Hillary Clin-

ton in personal terms, Trump didnot make any mention of formerPresident Bill Clinton’s indiscre-tions, despite raising those issuesearlier in the campaign.The real estate mogul did make

a direct appeal to supporters ofClinton’s primary rival BernieSanders, reminding voters thatthe Vermont senator, too, hasraised questions about her judg-ment. Like Trump, Sanders alsogenerated enormous enthusiasmamong voters frustrated withWashington.Turning to his own plans as

president, Trump argued that hisopposition to a major Asia Pacif-ic trade pact and his hard-lineimmigration position would bemore beneficial than Clinton’sfor blacks and Hispanics, twogroups that have overwhelming-ly voted for Democrats in recentpresidential elections.The Republican said Clinton

has pledged to “end virtually allimmigration enforcement andthus create totally open bordersin the United States.” While Clin-ton has called for a pathway tocitizenship for millions of peopleliving in the U.S. illegally, she hasalso called for focusing enforce-ment on “detaining and deport-ing those individuals who pose aviolent threat to public safety.”

By WILLIAM BOOTHThe Washington Post JERUSALEM — Work has

begun to save the holiestshrine in Christendom. Itwon’t be a simple patch-and-paint job.This is the alpha and omega

of restoration projects.They are going to repair

Christ’s tomb — with titani-um bolts.Over the next nine months,

a team of Greek conservation-ists will restore the collapsingchapel built above and aroundthe burial cave where thefaithful believe that Jesus was

buried and rose from the deadafter the Crucifixion.To fix the chapel, which is

buckling under its ownweight, the crew will have toenter a few square meters ofthe ruins of the first-centurytomb.It is called the Holy Rock.To get there, they will clean

centuries of candle soot leftfrom votive lamps; they willreset and anchor the importedmarbles; and they will inject21st-century stabilizing mor-tar into 12th-century masonryfrom the Crusader times.And at the heart of the

heart of the edifice, in the cen-ter of the Church of the HolySepulchre in the Old City ofJerusalem, they will lift theslab where millions of pil-grims have knelt and prayed,where the salt of tears and thewet of sweat have smoothedand worried the hardest stone.

Religiousrestoration

Teams areworking at

site of tomb

Church/World The Commercial ReviewThursday, June 23, 2016

Continued from page 7And for the first time in more

than 200 years, they will lookinside.The ruins of what is believed to

be a rock-cut tomb is beingbreached because the chapel builtabove is falling apart.Its repair is decades overdue.

After years of squabbling amongthe Christian communities whooccupy the site, work to restore theedifice began earlier this month.The conservationists — whose

jobs have included repairing theAcropolis in Athens — are not surewhat they will find.“This is the most alive place we

have ever worked,” said AntoniaMoropoulou, a leader of the teamfrom the National Technical Uni-versity of Athens.“We will see what we see,” she

said.The conservation team has

already probed the chapel andtomb with ground-penetratingradar and laser scanners.They are flying drones with cam-

eras above the indoor site now,which — like flying drones aroundthe Vatican or Mecca — is not easy.They have detected a fracture in

the rock of the tomb, unknownuntil today.They believe that the crack is the

result of stresses put upon it by thecolumns supporting a cupolaabove. Still. No modern scientisthas ever looked inside.What will they see?Archaeology at the Church of

the Holy Sepulchre has been limit-ed, not only by protective clericsbut also by centuries of tradition.The site is considered the most sub-lime in Christendom, a place of pil-grimage, faith, passion and mys-tery — not digging and probing.Patriarch Theophilos III, of the

Orthodox Church of Jerusalem,told The Washington Post: “Thereis no doubt that there is some kindof energy. I don’t want to describeit, but some kind of energy thatemanates from this place.”Theophilos said he has reread

the historical accounts of his pred-ecessors who saw the ruins of thetomb when last exposed in 1810.Here in the ancient alleys of

Jerusalem, two centuries is not along time. But in 1810, the last timeclerics and workers exposed theHoly Rock, people didn’t know thatgerms caused disease and the sci-ence of archaeology did not exist.Theophilos sat perched upon a

velvet chair in the recesses of thechurch, surrounded by a dozenmembers of his retinue, includinga pair of bodyguards each sportingred fezzes and long canes to pushovereager congregants back.The previous Crusader-era

chapel was destroyed by a cata-strophic fire in 1808, the patriarchsaid.When the Greeks were rebuild-

ing in 1809, Theophilos said,“Everybody was so excited to seepart of what has remained of theoriginal cave that served as thetomb of Christ.”“Now? To be honest, we have the

same feelings,” the leader of theGreek church said. “You cannotremain indifferent.”He smiled but warned his guest:

“This is not an archaeologicalmonument. Those stones are notmere stones.”What is there?The British archaeologist Mar-

tin Biddle, who studied the site inthe 1990s, speculated that therecould be ancient graffiti left by pil-

grims somewhere around the HolyRock or beneath the floor under therotunda, perhaps scribbles of “Heis risen!”Or maybe the small, scratched

crosses left in the caves of Chris-tians in the first centuries after hisdeath.Or maybe just cut stone.Whatever evidence exists, the

conservationists won’t know untilthey get there — and even then,will it prove definitely that this wasthe tomb of Jesus?The Greek team has promised to

keep the church open to visitorsand pilgrims throughout therestoration, meaning they will beworking in the deep of the night,the site lit by their own portablegenerators and a hundred vigillamps.“This is a very challenging envi-

ronment. Very profound. Yet veryexciting,” said Moropoulou, aleader of the Greek team.Moropoulou said she was both

an engineer and a believer.“This is a serious undertaking,”

she said. “We know very wellwhere we are, and we know whatwe are doing.”The Church of the Holy Sepul-

chre in Jerusalem is one of themost popular religious sites in theworld.The cavernous basilica, filled

with obscure niches, secret Cru-sader tombs, and hidden chapelsand golden icons, marks the sitewhere Catholic and Eastern Ortho-dox faiths believe that Jesus died,was buried and rose.“Where heaven and earth meet,”

said Theophilos III.Every year on Easter Saturday,

thousands of Eastern Orthodoxpack into the Sepulchre to see themiracle of the Holy Fire, when abundle of candles is lit by the tomband passed, hand to hand, to reaf-firm for believers the resurrectionof Christ and the promise of eter-nal life.Religious scholars say the earli-

est followers of the new Jesusmovement may have been prayinghere in A.D. 66. There is abundantevidence that Christian pilgrimshave been making their way heresince at least the 4th century.The traditional tomb is now

underneath a towering rotunda,cocooned in a small chapel calledthe Holy Edicule, which accordingto tradition shelters the remainsof the 1st-century burial cave theBible says belonged to a prominentJew — and a secret disciple ofJesus — who offered it to Christ.Today, the site thrums with piety,

but history knows it is soaked inblood. There have been at leastfour Christian chapels erectedover the site. The first was byEmperor Constantine in the 4thcentury, who swept aside a pagantemple Hadrian built to the god-dess Aphrodite — perhaps a moveby Rome to deny early Christians aplace of pilgrimage. The HolySepulchre was saved by the Mus-lim conqueror Omar in 638;destroyed by the Egyptian Caliphal Hakim in 1009; rebuilt by theCrusaders who themselves slaugh-tered half the city; protected againby the Muslim conqueror Saladinand laid waste again by the fear-some Khwarismian Turks, whosehorsemen rode into the churchand lopped off the heads of pray-ing monks.The last chapel was built by the

Greeks, after a tremendous fire, in1810.Today, a cage of iron girders,

erected as a temporary emergencyfix by the British governor in 1947,no longer can sustain the bulgingedifice. The Rev. Jerome Murphy-O’Con-

nor, in his respected Oxfordarchaeological guide to the HolyLand, saw the Church of the HolySepulchre as a very human colli-sion of the sacred and profane.“One looks for luminous light,

but it is dark and cramped,” hewrote. “One hopes for peace, but

the ear is assailed by a cacophonyof warring chants.”The priest-archaeologist asked:

“Is this the place where Christ diedand was buried? Yes, very proba-bly.”It has taken years to get the

Christian communities that wor-ship at the Holy Sepulchre to agreeto the restoration project.The religious orders who have

rights at the Holy Sepulchre —Greek Orthodox, Latin Catholicsand Armenian Orthodox, along-side Syrians, Copts and Ethiopians— are notorious squabblers, eachfiercely asserting their rightsunder an Ottoman-era “status quo”agreement to worship at this altarat that hour on this or that holy day.It took a poke from the pope and

a nod from the head of the EasternOrthodox Church to get the projectrolling — plus a commitment byKing Abdullah II of Jordan, a Mus-lim who has rights as a protector ofholy sites in Jerusalem, to footmost of the $3.4 million bill.“The work will finally begin, and

it is past time,” said the Rev. PeterVasko, president of the FranciscanFoundation for the Holy Land.“The place is falling apart,” he

said.Vasko recalled the first time he

prayed over the covered tomb as ayoung priest and trembled with therealization, “I am not worthy.”“This is the real thing,” Vasko

said. “It is not a holy place. It isTHE holy place.”When the restoration is com-

plete, the British iron girders willbe gone, the columns straightened,the tomb bolted, and the limestoneand marble scrubbed clean andglowing again in colors pink, yel-low, white, black and green.Asked how long the repairs

should last, one of the Greek con-servationists guessed “a thousandyears.”Then, shrugging, “Maybe forev-

er,” he said.“Hard to tell.”

VisitingVATICAN CITY —

Pope Francis is makinghis first foray into theformer Soviet Unionwith a weekend visit toArmenia, a year afterhe riled Turkey bydeclaring the Ottoman-era slaughter of Arme-nians genocide andamid fresh tensionswith rival Azerbaijan.The Vatican has long

cheered the Armeniancause, holding up thepoverty-wrackednation of 3 millionmostly OrthodoxChristians as a bastionof faith and martyr-dom in a largely Mus-lim region, and thefirst nation that estab-lished Christianity as astate religion in 301.

MourningISLAMABAD —

Thousands of mourn-ers are attending thefuneral of a well-known Pakistani Sufisinger who was shotdead in the port city ofKarachi in an attackclaimed by Islamicextremists.Television footage

Washington Post/William Booth

The faithful from the Eastern Orthodox churches gather for the annual Holy Fireceremony inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on April 30. The domed chapel in the center ofthe rotunda is called the Holy Edicule and is built above the site where the faithful believe Jesuswas buried in a tomb cut from the rock.

Continued from page 1The referendum marks

an existential decision thatcould dramatically reshapeBritain’s global role in away not seen since Londonshed its empire after WorldWar II. It could also lead toanother push on Scottishsecession, the furtherunraveling of the Euro-pean Union and the fall ofPrime Minister DavidCameron’s government.As the first votes were

cast - with the often-vari-able British weather run-ning the gamut from a tor-

rential downpour in Lon-don to sunny, clear skies inScotland - anxiety was theprevailing mood.Hilary Clarke, a 45 year-

old full-time mom, was thefirst to vote at a southwestLondon polling station. Shesaid she would use herstubby pencil to check“remain” on her ballot, butwas hardly assured thatthe rest of the countrywould agree with her.“If I had been confident I

wouldn’t be standing in therain at 7 in the morning,”she said as she sheltered

beneath a colorful umbrel-la. “The reason I’m first inthe queue is I’m goingstraight to the airport to goto Barcelona, and I may notreturn if vote goes thewrong way.”Clarke, who had endured

a sleepless night tuned tothe cracks of thunder andthe cries of woken chil-dren, said she couldn’tunderstand the logic ofthose pushing for “leave.”“I can see that some-

times it seems we are hem-orrhaging money to theE.U.,” she said. “But at the

same time we seem to getso much more back thanwe give. Even if you’re dis-agreeing with what’s saidat the table, it’s better tohave a place at it.”Other voters still hadn’t

made their minds up asthey prepared to enter thepolling station. AtMethodist Central Hall, inthe shadow of WestminsterAbbey, Steve Devereux wasstill weighing his optionsthis morning. He said thatwhile he would likely vote“remain,” he felt the pull toleave.

“Giving the govern-ment a kick in the back-side and really tellingthem actually they can’ttake people for granted,”he said. “I think that’s thebig thing I really want tosay.”Prime Minister David

Cameron will hope todaythat voters resist thaturge. He voted in centralLondon this morningalongside his wife,Samantha. He smiled andgave a quick wave to pho-tographers before enter-ing the polling station.

BEIJING (AP) — A powerfultornado killed 51 people anddestroyed large numbers ofbuildings today in the easternChinese province of Jiangsu,state media reported.The tornado hit a densely pop-

ulated area of farms and facto-ries near the city of Yancheng,about 500 miles south of Beijing,according to state broadcasterCCTV, other official media andthe provincial rescue service.They said large numbers of

people were injured and roadswere blocked with trees, downed

power lines and other debris.CCTV showed people carry-

ing the injured to hospitals, carsand trucks flipped over on theirroofs, street light poles snappedin half, and steel electricitypylons crumpled and lying ontheir side.Jiangsu is a coastal province

north of Shanghai. Yancheng isan ancient city with more than 8million people.The Jiangsu provincial fire

and rescue service provided noword on casualties but said onits microblog that the storm was

accompanied by hail. Crewswere dispatched to secure chem-icals and other potentially dan-gerous items at a sprawlingsolar panel factory in theYancheng suburb of Funing, itsaid.Photos posted online showed a

wrecked three-story school-house with large trees strewn onits playing field. Its windowshad been blown out and its roofand upper floor torn off, alongwith those of numerous otherbuildings.Bodies were shown lying in

the open or buried in rubble. Atleast one hog farm was hit, itslivestock covered in bricks androofing material.The reports said the tornado

struck at about around 2:30 p.m.and hit Funing and Sheyangcounties on the city’s outskirtsthe hardest with winds of up to78 mph.Tornados occasionally strike

southern China during the sum-mer months, but rarely with thescale of death and damagecaused by the one today.This year, southern and east-

ern China have experiencedweeks of torrential rain andstorms that have caused wide-spread flooding and dozens ofcasualties.The southern part of the

country is hit every year duringthe May-July monsoon season,but this rainy season has beenparticularly wet. Water levels insome major rivers have exceed-ed those of 1998, when Chinawas hit by disastrous floods thataffected 180 million people,according to state mediareports.

Continued from page 12In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers

rolled through their first two playoffopponents, sweeping the Detroit Pis-tons and Atlanta Hawks. Unlike thePistons and Hawks though, theToronto Raptors put up a fight in theEastern Conference Finals. But theyeventually succumbed to the Cava-liers in six games.The table was set. The best team in

the East against the best team in theWest for all the NBA marbles.Golden State steamrolled to a com-

manding 2-0 series lead with homevictories by 15 and 33 points respec-tively. Cleveland returned the favorwith a 30-point win in game three athome, but the Warriors respondedwith a 108-97 victory on the road tolead the series 3-1.I said before the NBA Finals started

that the first team to win on the roadwas going to win the series. Itappeared to follow that script, untilLeBron James and Kyrie Irvingplayed — until that point — perhapsthe best game of their respectivecareers. James and Irving bothscored 41 points in a 112-97 win at Ora-cle Arena in Oakland, California, ingame five with Warriors’ forwardDraymond Green suspended.

After staving off elimination once,the Cavaliers returned to NortheastOhio, but apparently the Warriors’offense stayed in California. Cleve-land opened a 20-point lead in thefirst quarter. The Warriors found their offen-

sive stride, shrinking the deficit toas few as eight points until the Cavspulled away in the fourth quarterfor a 115-101 victory to force gameseven.I’ve mentioned in this space

before that I am not a big fan of bas-ketball. While that feeling has sincechanged, I have the same desire towatch televised basketball as I dowatching paint dry.But midway through game six, I

put it on the TV and watched untilthe end.I then made a point to watch game

seven.It was too compelling to miss.Could the Warriors complete their

record-setting season with anothertitle? Would the Cavaliers becomethe first team in the history of theleague to erase a three-games-to-oneseries deficit and win the title?Could LeBron James deliver on thepromise he made two years ago tobring a championship to Cleveland?

I didn’t know these answers. So Ihad to find out. I’m glad I did.With a game that had 20 lead

changes and was tied 11 times, it wasdifficult to look away. I watched thefirst half from the office as I was get-ting some work done, then relocatedto my apartment for the second half.Sitting on my couch, phone with

Twitter open in my hand, I watchedthe final 24 minutes of what turnedout to be excellent basketball.Kevin Love’s defense on Curry.

Irving’s go-ahead 3-pointer. LeBron’sblock. Green’s foul. James’ freethrow to ice it.It didn’t matter to me whether

Golden State or Cleveland won. I justwanted to see a quality basketballgame, which seems to be difficult tofind in this era’s NBA.But I got what I wanted. I watched

from the opening tip to the finalbuzzer, when 50-plus years of dis-may for the city of Cleveland wasquickly forgotten.It was the first NBA game I

watched in its entirety on TV in 12years.Here’s to hoping it’s not another

dozen years until I watch a gameagain.

Continued from page 12Hill was a fixture in the

Pacers’ starting lineupafter being acquired fromSan Antonio in a draft-night deal in 2011. Afterstarting nine games in hisfirst season in Indiana,where he grew up andplayed college basketball,he started 270 games —including 73 or more inthree of the past four sea-sons, and had a scoringaverage in double figuresduring each of those fourseasons.He also was one of the

team’s better defenders andplayed a key role in helpingthe Pacers reach back-to-back Eastern Conferencefinals in 2013 and 2014. Andwhen Paul George missedall but six games in 2014-15,Hill averaged 16.1 points,5.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds,all career highs. The 30-year-old has career aver-ages of 11.3 points, 3.3assists and 3.2 rebounds ineight seasons.All those traits should all

help a Jazz team trying tomake the playoffs for thefirst time since 2011-12.“Nobody likes to be trad-

ed,” Neff said. “But nowthat we’ve had a chance totalk, he realizes he’s goingfrom a team that was will-ing to trade him to a teamthat wanted to trade forhim.”What the Pacers were

looking for was a point

guard who could play at afaster pace in their small-ball transition.Teague certainly fits the

bill. Teague started 78 of 79games last season and aver-aged 15.7 points and 5.9assists. In seven pro sea-sons, he’s averaged 12.1points, 5.2 assists, 2.2rebounds and 1.2 steals.At 28, he’s younger and is

just two years removedfrom his first All-Star selec-tion.“Clearly, the Pacers want-

ed to go faster and JeffTeague is faster,” Neff said.“But we think Utah is verymuch a team on the rise.”With the Hawks looking

to move point guard DennisSchroder into a more visi-ble role and Teague usingTwitter after the season toimply he wouldn’t be backin Atlanta next season, theHawks finally made thedeal.

Trade ...‘He’s going froma team that waswilling to tradehim to a teamthat wanted totrade for him.’

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)— Cincinnati Reds starterDan Straily faced the mini-mum number of battersthrough his first threeinnings. The right-handeralso retired the last nineTexas Rangers he faced.The only problem was

the start of the fourthinning in between thosestretches in a 6-4 loss to theRangers on Wednesdaynight.Texas loaded the bases

without an out, or a hit, to

start the fourth and wentahead to stay with fourruns. Strailey walked twobatters and hit anotherbefore Adrian Beltre hadan RBI single and PrinceFielder immediately lined atwo-run single to right fieldbefore the Rangers addedanother run on a ground-out.“It’s frustrating to have a

day like that, knowing I’mbetter than that. I causedthat,” Straily said. “I lostthe game for our team

because of something asstupid as a couple of hitterswhere I couldn’t put it inthe zone the way I wantedto.”A night after an 8-2 victo-

ry to end the Rangers’ sea-son-best seven-game win-ning streak, the Redsmissed a chance for a win-ning road trip by splittingthe two-game interleagueseries. They went 4-5instead.“It was a very unusual

game, but sometimes those

games are won and lost inthose moments,” said Redsmanager Bryan Price, whomarked his 54th birthdayWednesday.Eugenio Suarez hit his

14th homer, a three-runshot in the eighth off reliev-er Jake Diekman that gotthe Reds within 5-4.

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewThere’s something com-

pelling about a gameseven.It doesn’t matter the

sport, the last game of theseason is exciting.Sunday was no different.There were plenty of

storylines that made gameseven of the NBA Finalsworth watching.First was the Golden

State Warriors, a team thattrumped its title from ayear ago by winning 73games, surpassing therecord set by the 1995-96Chicago Bulls.Led by the league’s first

unanimous MVP StephenCurry, the defendingchampions opened theplayoffs by beating theHouston Rockets in fivegames. The Portland TrailBlazers suffered the samefate in the Western Confer-ence semifinals beforeKevin Durant, RussellWestbrook and the Okla-homa City Thunderpushed the Warriors toseven games in the confer-ence final.But the defending

champs prevailed and putthemselves four wins awayfrom back-to-back titles.
