Political campaigns, on either side, are notoriousfor taking liberties with facts and statistics, spin-ning every occurrence or utterance to further

their respective agendas. Distasteful as this is, it’s soingrained into the process that it cannot be eradicated,especially in our current state of polarization.A couple of things make this year’s contest stand out,

and not in a good way. The media outlets of the right,Fox News and talk radio, spend as much time demo-nizing and delegitimizing the president as they do crit-icizing his record and policies. Even four years later,they seem intent on defining him as being not as Amer-ican as the rest of us, an outsider intent on somehowaltering, even destroying our country and way of life.An exotic name, coupled with a non-traditional up-bringing, make him somewhat more vulnerable tothese scurrilous attacks. A review of what some of theelectorate, particularly on the Republican side, believeto be true of PresidentObama would be comical ifnot so shameful. A weakcandidate, combined withpolicy proposals so unpopu-lar that the details muststay hidden, if indeed theyeven exist, drive this deceit-ful campaign. What standsout is the depth of that de-ceit.Two of the Romney cam-

paign’s biggest themes havebeen total fabrications. The“You didn’t build that” was an incomplete thought liftedtotally out of context, then twisted to mean somethingcompletely different.What began as a gentle reminderthat success doesn’t occur in a vacuum (unless you hap-pen to be Thomas Edison) was perverted into a mock-ing of every business owner’s accomplishment increating those entities, which no candidate of eitherparty would ever do. Even more blatant was the“Obama gutted welfare reform legislation, no longermaking a transition to work part of the program.”The waivers, asked for by Republican governors so

that they could tweak the work requirements to bettersuit their state’s environments, stipulated that the flex-ibility granted had to translate into a 20 percent gainin the welfare to work transformation. The transfer ofcontrol from the federal level to the states, is exactlythe kind of policy the GOP demands. Romney’s charac-terization of this is absolutely untrue, denounced by somany independent sources that his campaign advisorsfelt compelled to declare that they would not be guidedby “fact checkers” (or facts). In a roundtable discussion,a prominent Republican was asked how they couldkeep repeating a charge that had been so thoroughlydebunked by every review of it. His answer? “It’s work-ing, stirring resentment amongst the people who feelthat their money is being taken by the government andhanded to those who refuse to do for themselves. Giventhe traditional stereotyping of who collects welfare, but-tressed by the aforementioned media outlets, it’s notdifficult to see the demographics at play.After watchingRomney’s destruction of his primary opponents withsimilar strategies, it’s hardly a surprise to see him fol-lowing the same script in the general election.What did catch me off guard, perhaps due to some

naiveté on my part, was how quickly Paul Ryan threwaway his reputation as a serious, policy-wonk breed ofpolitico, given to speaking hard truths. In addition toparroting his partner’s untruths, he repeatedly insistedthat he didn’t request funding from the hated stimulusprogram , until his own letters were thrust into his face.He very clearly blamed the President for the closure ofa GM plant in his hometown, personalizing the talewith references to his high school buddies that workedthere. When the irrefutable truth of that plant’s clos-ing prior to President Obama taking office got too loud,he backtracked, claiming that’s not what he meant toimply. But the one that stunned me the most happenedwhen he called into a radio talk show.While discussinghis legendary workout ethic, the host asked him if hehad run a marathon, following up with a questionabout his marathon time. Ryan replied “Under threehours, two fifty something, I used to be really fast.”A staffer at Runner’s World did some research, find-

ing that he actually completed the 26 miles in a littleover four hours. Being a former marathoner, I knowthat everyone who has run one can tell you what theirPR is, right down to the second. I pointed this out to aRepublican friend of mine, who also has marathons onher resume. She agreed that he surely knew what hisactual time was, but didn’t understand the fuss, since itwas not relevant to the campaign. My response wasthat the irrelevance was exactly what made it relevant.If he feels compelled to lie about something that does-n’t profit the campaign, how can anyone expect him tobe truthful when there is actually something at stake.

that began airingWednes-day, the 91-year-old Glenntalks of how his dreamsbegan in small-town Ohiowhere “family, church, andcountry came first.” Henotes his support for thepresident’s goals in re-search and education.Glenn’s appeal is tar-

geted to reach Ohio’slargely white rural popu-lation, a demographic thathas proven key to winningthe closely divided battle-ground state in recentpresidential elections.A University of Cincin-

nati Ohio Poll releasedlast month showed Obamaslightly ahead of Republi-can rival Mitt Romney, butrunning behind in everyregion of the state exceptthe populous and largelyDemocratic northeast.

Inside politics

MittRomney has justone job going intothe last stretch of

the presidential campaign.He has to connect with peo-ple who voted for BarackObama in 2008 but are dis-appointed with the presi-dent now. He has to assurethem that they didn’t makeamistake back then, that itwasn’t crazy or stupid to be-lieve Obama’s promises, butthat things just haven’tworked out. And he has to convince themit’s OK to choose a new candidate this timearound; they don’t owe Obama anothervote.The situation facing Romney is hard for

some Republicans to comprehend. Theydidn’t buy Obama’s bill of goods in the firstplace and find it hard to sympathize withanyone who did. But there are millions ofpeople who voted for Obama who are notonly disappointed in him but have come tothe conclusion that he does not deserve tobe re-elected. The problem for Romney isthey might still be persuaded to vote forthe president. Making them comfortablewith the idea of leaving Obama is Rom-ney’s job.Romney campaign advisers are very,

very familiar with the type. They dopolling, they do focus groups and they seethe phenomenon everywhere. Says cam-paign pollster Neil Newhouse: “These vot-ers are my mother-in-law. She’s a softRepublican and voted with pride forBarack Obama in terms of what it meantfor the country. And now, every time shetalks to me, she’s more than disappointed.She’s frustrated. She’s upset. She thoughtshe was voting for a transformationalleader and feels like we got just anotherpolitician.” You can bet Newhouse and theRomney campaign are not basing theirstrategy on one mother-in-law.They’re un-doubtedly seeing the same thing all thetime in their research.The important thing for Romney, aides

believe, is not to rub the voters’ noses intheir decision from four years ago. Don’tbash Obama, don’t even harp on how he’snot up to the job — that carries the impli-cation they should have known that whenthey voted for him. Just focus on the pointthat his policies have not made things bet-ter. “You’ve got to be careful in terms ofhow you talk about the president,” says atop Romney campaign aide. “It’s his poli-cies and performance voters are concernedabout — that’s the focus.”On the afternoon before the Democratic

convention began in Charlotte,political messaging guru FrankLuntz convened a focus groupin a local office park. He gath-ered 27 voters, 24 of whom hadvoted for Obama in 2008. Somewere sticking with the presi-dent, but a larger number wereundecided, and a few had al-ready jumped to Romney.Luntz played some campaigncommercials for them. Thebest-received ad was one pro-duced by the pro-Romney super

PACAmericans for Prosperity in which ‘08Obama voters expressed disappointmentwith his performance in office. “I think he’sa great person; I don’t feel he is the rightleader for our country,” said one woman inthe ad. “I still believe in hope and change— I just don’t think Obama is the way togo for that,” said another.They reluctantlyconcluded that Obama has not earned an-other term in office.The focus group members liked the fact

that, as one said, “it’s not a negative ad”and did not feature “dark music playingand black-and-white images of (Obama) onthe screen.”Another liked that the admak-ers “weren’t bashing him, weren’t beingmean, weren’t being nasty.” The people inthe ad seemed like real people, not politicalhit men. And they said what those voterswere thinking.Luntz also played the group a few clips

from Clint Eastwood’s much-discussedstand-up routine at the Republican con-vention inTampa. (A significant number ofthem hadn’t seen it.) Eastwood was gentlewith Obama voters, saying he felt goodwhenObamawon, but high unemploymenthas gone on for so long that “it may be timefor somebody else to come along and solvethe problem.”The group watched a clip in which East-

wood said “You, we—we own this country…Politicians are employees of ours…Andwhen somebody does not do the job, we’vegot to let them go.” The clip got a very pos-itive reception from Luntz’s group, and notjust from the few Republicans. That is notgood news for the employee in the WhiteHouse.Between now andNov. 6, Romney has to

reinforce those voters’ thinking aboutObama— and give them a clear picture ofwhat a Romney presidency would looklike. The job will take care and hard work,but the voters are more than ready to goalong.

DOUG SMITHGuest Columnist

To the Editor:I must admit that I am an unabashed

liberal; as such I must proclaim my ac-tive support of Sen. Sherrod Brown inhis race for re-election as the UnitedStates Senator from Ohio. Mr. Brownhas a long and distinguished record ofrepresenting the people of this state inthe State Legislature, as Secretary ofState of Ohio , as a representative to theU.S. Congress and is now our senator.In each of these endeavors, he has

stood up for the working men andwomen of Ohio. He is a member of theAppropriations Committee, for agricul-tural committees, three banking com-mittees, the Veterans Affairs Committee,as well as the Select Committee onEthics.It is important to know where Mr.

Brown stands on issues of today; in adssponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Com-merce, voters are urged to tell Mr. Brownto stop voting for more government reg-

ulations; what they are really saying isthat they want to permit the use of highsulfur coal to generate electricity formanufacturing, thereby choking thou-sands of children with pollutants emit-ted from their plants and increasingtheir profits to the detriment of the restof society. They loudly assert that Ohiohas lost thousands of jobs on Mr.Brown’s watch, when they themselveswere the miscreants, closing plants andsending jobs to Mexico and China.Sherrod Brown’s record throughout

his tenure in both houses of Congresswas to oppose NAFTA and CAFTA; tosupport healthcare for seniors and theneedy.Sen. Brown is a man of faith. He has

served the people of Ohio well and de-serves re-election. He has my vote. Ihope he will have those of other personsto send him back to the senate.

DEAR ABBY: America’stradesmen — plumbers, electri-cians, automechanics,roofers,ma-sons and more — get very littlerespect.In fact, the only time theseskilled professionals get our atten-tion is when we have an emer-gency.This lackof regard is leadingour

nation down an unfortunate path-way,as fewerand feweryoungpeo-ple pursue jobs in theseprofessions. If we don’t change ourattitudeabout theworthof trades-men,whowill buildourhomesandschools, repair our cars, keep ourwater flowing and our powerturned on?OnSept.21,wehaveachance to

thank a tradesman. The date hasbeen earmarked as NationalTradesmenDay.Everyonecanpar-ticipate: Drop a box of doughnutsat the jobsitenearyourhome.Callyour plumber and say,“Thank youforyourhelpover theyears.”Invitea skilled tradesman to speak atyour child’s school. The ways tohonor them are limitless. Abby,wouldyouhelp toget thewordout?

DEAR JEFF: I’m pleased tohelp because I agree with yourmessage.Tradespeople don’t oftenreceive the respect and gratitudethey deserve. Everyone needs toknow his or her efforts are valuedand appreciated, and failure to ex-tend this courtesy may affect ourquality of life in the comingdecades.In years past, skilled trades

werehandeddownwithpride fromone generation to the next. How-ever, as baby boomers have beenretiring, fewer young people havebeenstepping forwardto take theirplace. In fact, according to a recenttalent shortage survey by Man-powerGroup, more jobs for skilledtradesmen go unfilled than anyother category of employment.Why?Because therearen’t enoughtrained replacements to fill open-ings for electricians, welders, me-chanics, plumbers, roofers andmore.Part of the reason may be our

emphasis on pursuing advanced

college degrees for almost every-one. But another may be the lackof respect that has been shown forthese vital occupations.The resulthas been, according to the Bureauof Labor Statistics, that for everythree tradesmen who retire, onlyoneperson is steppingup to fill thegap.Ihear frommanyreaderswhose

youngadult childrenareunable tofind work. Talk with them aboutthis. People in the trades can earngood money. Visit a local commu-nity college with your son ordaughter and learn more aboutclasses and certifications availablefor skilled trades.And please, show tradespeople

how much their contributions arevalued. Call your favorite handy-man, plumber and HVAC techni-cian not to once again scream forhelp,but to express your apprecia-tion. Treat them to a box of yourspecial home-baked cookies orbrownies, refer them to yourfriends and family so they can getadditional business, write to yourlocalnewspapers,websitesorblogsexpressing your appreciation.Visit nationaltradesmen-

Famous hand

This deal occurred in thematch between Italy and theUnited States in 1951. It is no-table chiefly because both theItalian and American declarersmisplayed the hand but made

the maximum number of tricksanyway.The U.S. team gained 750

points because its North-Southpair bid seven diamonds whilethe Italians stopped in six dia-monds at the other table. BothWests led the king of clubs, andafter taking the ace, both de-clarers cashed five diamondsand five spades, leaving Southwith only the Q-10 of hearts.On the last spade, West —

who had been reduced to the K-8 of hearts and queen of clubs—had to discard before dummy,which held theA-9 of hearts andjack of clubs. West wassqueezed, so both declarers fin-ished with all the tricks.The squeeze succeeded only

because West had the king ofhearts and the club queen. Butthere was a much better ap-proach available that wouldhave yielded 13 tricks even ifEast had held the heart king.

The proper line of play is towin the club lead and ruff aclub. Declarer then cashesdummy’s K-Q of trumps and,after he sees that the missingtrumps are divided 3-2, ruffs an-other club.A spade to dummy’s jack is

followed by a third club ruffwith South’s last trump, the ace.Declarer then crosses to the aceof hearts, draws East’s lasttrump with the jack while dis-carding the queen of heartsfrom his hand, and scores thelast four tricks with the A-K-Q-10 of spades.Ruffing dummy’s J-10-7 of

clubs is better than relyingsolely on West to hold the heartking -- about a 50 percentchance. The suggested line ofplay will succeed whenever thetrumps are divided 3-2, a 68percent probability.

Tomorrow: Scintillating play.

NEW YORK (AP) — Welcomeaboard the mother ship, EmmaBing.The woman who was her

mother’s inspiration for writingwhat millions of pregnantwomen consider their bible,“What to Expect When You’reExpecting,” is now pregnantherself and joining the familybusiness.Bing, 29, is due on her second

wedding anniversary, Feb. 18,and guess who’s going to be inthe delivery room.“Are you kidding me? Of

course,” Bing’s mom, HeidiMurkoff, gushed Thursday. “Iwouldn’t miss it.”Bing, who lives near mom in

Los Angeles, will be bloggingher pregnancy and parentingexperiences, along with fashionand beauty advice, for her fellowmillennial moms on Whattoex-pect.com, starting Friday.Murkoff wrote the book pro-

posal for “What to Expect” whilepregnant with Emma, her old-est of two, and delivered it toher publisher the day she wentinto labor. The book came out in1985 and now has more than 17million copies in print, spawn-ing several more about the earlyyears of parenting, eatinghealthy while pregnant andeven a prequel, “What to ExpectBefore You’re Expecting.”The work of the 53-year-old

Murkoff, including a foundationthat helps pregnant women inthe developing world, earnedher a spot on Time magazine’slist of 100 most influential peo-ple in the world last year. Shewas also executive producer ofthe movie inspired by the book,aptly named “What to ExpectWhen You’re Expecting.”Is Murkoff her daughter’s go-

for advice eight to 10 times aday in text, email and phonecalls. “I was finally, like, don’tyou have a book?”The answer is yes, of course,

but Bing finds herself askingmom about everything from ap-petite to stomach pains, anyway,then running to “What to Ex-pect” to confirm her answers.“It’s really funny,” Bing said.

“It’s like I forget who she is.”Bing is married to Russell Ali,

a guitarist and music producer,who, by the way, will also be onhand for the birth.

TROY — Finishing whathe started is something BenBurgei is well-known for.So, it came as no surprise

to anyone when Burgeicompleted the program thathonors him with the BoyScout’s highest award— theEagle Scout.Tim Larck, leader of

Troop 544 of Troy, said lessthan 2 percent of the Scoutsthat begin the Eagle Scoutprogram process actuallyfinish. But Burgei wasn’teven a question.“I knew as soon as he

started it, he would finishit,” said Larck, who has ledBurgei since age 11when hegraduated from Cub Scoutsto Boy Scouts.Larck said Burgei is the

epitome of what a Boy Scoutstands for, and couldn’t beprouder of his accomplish-ment.“He’s a really good kid

and he donates a lot of histime to charity and organi-zations,” Larck said.Burgei, the son of Gary

and Bridget Burgei, startedwith the Cub Scouts in firstgrade and decided to followin his older brother An-drew’s footsteps.“I wanted to get (the

Eagle Scout award) becausemy brother also got EagleScout and I wanted to getthe same rank as him,” saidBurgei, who also has a sis-ter, Kaitlyn.The Troy High School

senior completed the pro-gram by creating an arteasel for the Troy Rec foruse in its various programs,including the before- andafter-school and new pre-school programs.The money to complete

the project was donated byJanet Larck, Tim Larck’swife, and a Troy Rec em-ployee. He said the donatedmoney helped him purchasethe wood, hardware andwhiteboard necessary tocomplete the easel.“The Rec was in need of

more art easels and I madeit based on the design thebeneficiary gave me,”Burgei said.Burgei said he is no

stranger to woodworkingprojects, as he and his fa-ther have completed similarprojects before. He said theart easel took about a weekto build with the help ofabout 13 fellow Boy Scouts.“The help all came from

the Scoutswithin the troop,”said Burgei,who said othersin his troop also haveachieved Eagle Scout.“I had the experience

from other projects and theleadership came as Iwatched other Scouts dotheir projects,” said Burgei,a four-year member of theTroy Trojan marchingband’s drum line.Other requirements for

the program included earn-ing at least 21 merit badgesand demonstrating Scoutspirit. Burgei said althoughthe program took sometime,he is proud hemade it.“It’s been awhile, but I

feel really accomplishedabout achieving it.” Burgeisaid. “The Eagle Scout is abadge that shows that youarewilling to do hardwork.”After graduating, Burgei

— whose favorite subject isscience — said he plans totake the skills he learned asa Boy Scout and apply themto his future, either attend-ing Edison or Sinclair to gethis associate’s degree. Hethen hopes to transfer toThe Ohio State Universityor the University of Cincin-nati to complete his course-work in music or graphic

design.“I just love playing the

drums and would love toteach other people that,”Burgei said. “But, I also loveworking with computersand love drawing, so theywould kind of mesh to-gether with graphic design.”Looking back through the

years, Burgei said a wintercamping trip to OwenSound, Ontario, Canada, isone of the most memorableadventures in his Scoutingcareer. He said althoughtheir firewood supply gotwet, a Canadian troop savedthe trip with some donatedwood.“It was really cool, and an

opportunity for winterweather camping,” he said.Burgei said as he moves

into the next phase of life,he still plans to stay in-volved with Scouting by be-coming an adult leader withhis troop.He also said he will for-

ever cherish the friendshipshe made with other troopmembers.“We end up messing

around a lot. But, we stillget a lot done andwe can alltrust each other,” he said.

FT. LORAMIE — LakeLoramie State Park, in co-operation with the LakeLoramie Improvement As-sociation (LLIA), is in theprocess of removingstumps from the lake.The plan is to spend ap-

proximately two weeks onthis operation. State parkofficials ask anyone whoknows the location of a

COLUMBUS — Ohio Statequarterback Braxton Miller leftOhio Stadium after the Buckeyessurvived a determined upset bidby California on Saturday wear-ing a t-shirt with a picture on it ofcartoon character Wile E Coyote,the persistent plotter who is al-ways outsmarted by his nemesisthe Road Runner.It seemed a strange choice for

someone quick enough to avoidany anvil falling from the sky andskilled enough to avoid fallingover any cliff.Make no mistake about it,

though, Miller did save Ohio Statefrom going over a cliff with twofourth-quarter touchdown passesthat led OSU to a 35-28 win on aday when California could havegone home with a stunning upset.Miller copied a play Tim Tebow

for a 3-yard touchdownto Jake Stoneburner with8 ½ minutes to play. Thenhe found a wide-openDevin Smith for the game-winner on a 72-yard passplay with 3 ½ minutes toplay.

California had putOhio State’s offense intoslow motion for much ofthe second half after OSUjumped out to a 20-7 leadearly in the second quar-ter.

Three and out becamea repetitive refrain as No.12 OSU (3-0) managedonly two first downs in itsnext seven offensive pos-sessions after taking thatbig early lead.

And Ohio State’s de-fense wasn’t any better,surrendering 512 yardstotal offense to the Bears.

Cal (1-2) erased OSU’s20-7 lead, first with an 81-yard touchdown run byBrendan Bigelow, thenwith a 1-yard sneak byquarterback Zach May-nard, to go ahead 21-20with 12:26 left in thegame

Then, after Miller con-nected with Stoneburnerfor a TD and ran for a two-point conversion to putOhio State out front 28-21,Bigelow struck again,going 59 yards for a scorethat tied it at 28-28.

“Our guys found away,” Meyer said. “I’vebeen in games beforewhere I thought we weregoing to lose. I just keptwaiting. I thought some-one would make a play.

The way to winningthe game went throughMiller when he and Smithrecreated a fourth-quarterconnection reminiscent oftheir game-winner in the

final quarter against Wis-consin last season.

Smith (5 catches for145 yard, 2 touchdowns)wasn’t the No. 1 target onthe play, but when a cor-nerback and safety bothwent to Corey (Philly)Brown, Miller went toSmith.

“They automaticallywent to Philly because Ilooked at him. You workon that in practice. Seizethe moment,” Miller said.

Meyer said, “I lovecoaching Braxton. There’snot a whole lot of panic inhim.”

Ohio State needed onemore big moment, this oneon defense, before it wasover. Christian Bryant’sinterception at the Buck-eyes’ 37-yard line with1:22 left on the clock.

Miller was 16 of 30passing for 249 yards andfour touchdowns andrushed for 75 yards on 12carries, fewer than half ofthe 27 carries he got lastweek against CentralFlorida.

The sophomore QBhad a role in all five ofOhio State’s touchdowns.He began OSU’s scoringwith a 55-yard run in thefirst quarter, then hitSmith with a 25-yard passfor the Buckeyes’ secondscore.

Tailback Jordan Hallstarted the game andrushed for 87 yards on 17carries in his first actionof the season after surgeryto repair a torn tendon inhis foot in late June.

Miller attributedOSU’s mid-game offensivestruggles to relaxing a bitafter getting an early lead.

“I think we got toocomplacent with what wedid in the first half,” hesaid.

For California, May-nard hit 26 of 37 passesfor 280 yards and a touch-down. Bigelow rushed for160 yards on only four car-ries and Isi Sofele gained86 yards on 21 carries.

California coach JeffTedford said, “It’s very dis-couraging because wecame here to win and weplayed well enough to win,but the scoreboard justdoesn’t say that.”

What Tedford left un-spoken was that if theBears’ kicker VincenzoD’Amato had hit his threefield goal attempts, itmight have been a differ-ent game.

D’Amato was wide leftfrom 40 yards and twicefrom 42 yards, the finaltime with 4:20 to play on akick that would havegiven California a 31-28lead.

NewspaperKnowledge

John Philip Sousa (November 6, 1854 –March 6, 1932) was an American composer andconductor of the late Romantic era, known par-ticularly for American military and patrioticmarches. Because of his mastery of march com-position, he is known as "The March King" or the"American March King" due to his British coun-terpart Kenneth J. Alford also being known as"The March King." Among his best knownmarch-es are "The Washington Post", "Semper Fidelis"(Official March of the United States MarineCorps), and "The Stars and Stripes Forever"(National March of the United States of America).

His father was Portuguese, and his mother ofBavarian ancestry. Sousa began his career play-ing violin and studying music theory and compo-sition under John Esputa and George FelixBenkert. His father eventually enlisted him in theUnited States Marine Band as an apprentice in1868. After departing the band in 1875, Sousaeventually learned to conduct. From 1880 untilhis death, Sousa began focusing exclusively onconducting and wrote marches during this time.He eventually rejoined the Marine Band andserved there for 12 years as director.Upon leaving the Marine Band,Sousa organized his own band.Hetoured Europe and Australia andalso developed the sousaphone,a large brass instrument similarto the tuba. On the outbreak ofWorldWar I, Sousa was commis-sioned as a LieutenantCommander and led the NavalReserve Band in Illinois. Following histenure there, Sousa returned to con-duct the Sousa Band until hisdeath in 1932.

John Philip Sousa was bornin Washington, D.C., onNovember 6, 1854, to JohnAntonio Sousa and MariaElisabeth Trinkhaus. Sousastarted his music education byplaying the violin as a pupil of JohnEsputa and George Felix Benkert(born 1831) for harmony and musical com-position at the age of six. He was found to haveabsolute pitch. When Sousa reached the age of13, his father, a trombonist in the Marine Band,enlisted his son in the United States MarineCorps as an apprentice to keep him from joininga circus band.

On December 30, 1879, Sousa married Janevan Middlesworth Bellis (1862–1944). They hadthree children together: John Philip, Jr. (April 1,1881 – May 18, 1937), Jane Priscilla (August 7,1882 – October 28, 1958), and Helen (January21, 1887 – October 14, 1975). All are buried inthe John Philip Sousa plot in the CongressionalCemetery.Wife Jane joined the Daughters of the

American Revolution (DAR) in 1907. DaughtersJane Priscilla and Helen Abert also joined DAR in1907. Their Patriot was Adam Bellis.

Several years after serving his apprentice-ship, Sousa joined a theatrical (pit) orchestrawhere he learned to conduct. He returned to theU.S. Marine Band as its head in 1880 andremained as its conductor until 1892. Sousa led"The President's Own" band under five presi-dents from Rutherford B. Hayes to BenjaminHarrison. Sousa's band played at two InauguralBalls, those of James A. Garfield in 1881, andBenjamin Harrison in 1889.

Sousa organized his own band the year heleft the Marine Band. The Sousa Band touredfrom 1892–1931, performing at 15,623 concerts.In 1900, his band represented the United Statesat the Paris Exposition before touring Europe. InParis, the Sousa Band marched through thestreets including the Champs-Élysées to the ArcdeTriomphe – one of only eight parades the bandmarched in more than its forty years. In 1911,they went to Australia and performed in Sydneyand Melbourne (then the national capital).

The marching brass bass, or sousa-phone, a modified helicon, was createdby J. W. Pepper – a Philadelphiainstrument maker who created theinstrument in 1893 at Sousa’srequest using several of his sug-gestions in its design. He wanted atuba that could sound upward andover the band whether its player was

seated or marching. The sousaphonewas re-created in 1898 by C.G. Connand this was the model that Sousapreferred to use.

Sousa lived in Sands Point,New York. A school (JohnPhilip Sousa Elementary) anda band shell are named afterhim and there is also a memo-rial tree planted in nearby PortWashington. Wild Bank, hisseaside house on Hicks Lane,

has been designated a NationalHistoric Landmark, although it

remains a private home and is not open to thepublic.

Sousa died of heart failure at the age of 77 onMarch 6, 1932, in his room at the AbrahamLincoln Hotel in Reading, Pennsylvania. He hadconducted a rehearsal of "The Stars and StripesForever" the previous day with the RinggoldBand. He is buried in Washington, D.C.'sCongressional Cemetery.

Sousa served in the U.S. Marine Corps, firstfrom 1868 to 1875 as an apprentice musician,and then as the head of the Marine Band from1880 to 1892; he was a Sergeant Major for mostof his second period of Marine service and was a

Warrant Officer at the time he resigned.During World War I, he was commissioned a

Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. NavalReserve and led the Navy Band at the GreatLakes Naval Station near Chicago, Illinois. Beingindependently wealthy, he donated his entirenaval salary minus one dollar a year to theSailors' and Marines' Relief Fund. After returningto his own band at the end of the war, he contin-ued to wear his naval uniform for most of his con-certs and other public appearances.
