cial K (Kevin) Daley brought the team’s message of the importance of healthy play to students of F.M. Gilbert Elementary and Otis Brown Elementary. The Globetrot-ters designed S.P.I.N.™ – Some Playtime Is Necessary – to make fitness fun and help cultivate an ac-tive lifestyle by urging kids to get into the action.

“I know the real reason you guys

are happy to see me,” Special K told the assembled students. “Not because I play basketball, because I got you out of class. I’m popular today.

“The Harlem Globe Trotters have traveled to more than 120 countries. I’ve been to about 80 of those countries, so I’m making my way up.”

Even though his message was about leading a healthy lifestyle, the

Journeys’ tour rocks GrapevineBy Jess Paniszczyn

Roughly 20,000 people con-verged in the parking lot of Grape-vine Mills Mall to kick off the summer with Journeys Backyard Barbeque Tour on May 26.

The free event featured live mu-sic with the “Converse Battle of the Bands,” which included local bands “Euphony,” “Taylor Thrash” and “Even Cameras Lie.” In the eve-ning, the main concert saw Mari-anas Trench opening for P.O.D.

Throughout the day, interna-tional athletes gave demonstrations of their extreme sports. Profession-al wakeboarders from Reef per-formed live action shows in a 180 foot-long series of portable pools, ramps and rails. A unique Rail Jam set-up pulled riders airborne with a winch, giving fans an in-your-face experience just a few feet away from the action. The Metal Muli-sha freestyle motocross performed a series of aerial feats, while profes-sional skateboarders from the Vans team gave fans an up close look at today’s sport.

By Jess PaniszczynThe public was invited to join

students and faculty members of DeVry University’s Irving campus in experiencing the Road to Lon-don tour. DeVry University cam-puses across the country are host-ing six tour stops on the two month tour designed to bring the excite-ment of the Olympic and Paralym-pic Games to local communities.

Through the tour, participants could try their skills at several sta-tions based on Olympic and Para-lympic events including bicycling and wheelchair basketball. Visitors

could also meet and speak with U.S. Olympic medalists Jordan Malone (speed skating) and LaMont Smith (track and field).

“We are proud to be an educa-tional provider to the United States Olympic Committee,” said John Stuart, President of DeVry Dal-las Metro. “Many of the Olympic and Paralympic athletes and hope-fuls want to be able to pursue their athletic career and their educational dreams at the same time. So we are committed to providing the highest quality of education by providing

n Gift Horse?: A passenger at Hel-ena (HLN) thought that fireworks were allowed on planes and appar-ently prefers to store their fireworks in a ceramic horse. n Screwy Grenade: Speaking of grenades, officers found a screwy grenade at Newark (EWR). It opens up to reveal screwdriver bits.n Bat’leth?: Officers found a knife resembling a compact version of a Klingon Bat’leth. Do you think Klingons travel through LaGuardia (LGA)?n In a Jam: A passenger at Florence (FLO) concealed a bag a marijuana inside a jar of raspberry jam. Offi-cers are not looking for drugs, but an organic substance stuffed in a jar of jelly looks odd. Also, a jar of jelly over 3.4 ounces is prohibited and likely to bring officer’s atten-tion to it.n False Top Soda Can: A bag of marijuana was discovered stuffed in a cola can with a false top at La-Guardia (LGA). n Smoking is Still Prohibited: An MK-13 projectile smoke grenade was discovered in a check bag at Newport News (PHF).n Knives in Odd Places: A small pocketknife was discovered wrapped in a cloth and hidden at the bottom of a stick of deodorant at Detroit (DTW). Another knife was found inside the lining of a

bag and taped to the bag handle at Grand Rapids (GRR). And yet an-other knife was discovered taped to the frame of the bag under the lin-ing at Bradley (BDL). And if that wasn’t enough, a man had a knife in his shoe at New York Kennedy ( JFK).

n Miscellaneous Prohibited Items - In addition to all of the other pro-hibited items found weekly, officers also found firearm components, realistic replica firearms, stun guns, brass knuckles, a bazillion knives, ammunition, and batons.

Let’s see today if we can fin-ish up on the piece about women be special. The last

question asked in last week’s ar-ticle, is why did God choose the Rib from Man in order to create the Women. Let’s take a scientific look at this move of God.

But God chose the rib for another reason

- Both men and women have 12 pairs of ribs.

Dr. Georgia Purdom, scientist

for the AIG, USA talks about the amazing regenerating rib, listen to her reasoning about the rib:

- …they (ribs) are one of the few bones that continue to make red marrow (and thus blood cells) in the adult. Although all bones can repair themselves; but ribs can re-generate themselves.

- RIBS are commonly removed during surgeries that require bone grafts in other parts of the body.

- The rib bone is one of the few bones mentioned by name in scrip-ture. Genesis 2:20b–22 states, and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

- Some people mistakenly be-lieve that because God used a rib

from Adam to make the woman that all men have one less rib than women. that is false because the number of ribs in men and women are the same.

- The number of ribs is deter-mined by the code written in our DNA and God did not change Ad-am’s DNA; He simply removed one of his ribs to use for the creation of the woman. God chose from Adam the one bone that could regenerate itself. So today Women are special, because you are the regenerating order of human kind. Blessed above measure!

POLICE REPORT

n Driving While Intoxicated: May 23 at 11:36 p.m. An officer was monitoring traffic observed a vehi-cle traveling eastbound in the west-bound lanes of traffic in the 2400 block of North Airfield Drive.

The driver of the vehicle failed to yield to emergency lights and sirens and continued to drive eastbound in the westbound traffic lanes while traveling at a high rate of speed.

The driver of the vehicle finally came to a stop in the 2900 block of North Airfield Drive.

The officer asked the driver for his driver license, proof of insurance and vehicle keys. While the officer asked for these items the smell of an alcoholic beverage was moder-ate inside the vehicle. The driver’s face was flushed and his eyes were bloodshot and watery.

The driver presented a Mexican Driver License.

The officer asked how much the driver had to drink, and he stated one glass of grape vino.

After performing the field so-briety tests the officer determined the driver could not safely operate a motor vehicle.

The driver was under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated.

During the consent to search of the vehicle, an officer located a So-cial Security Card and Permanent Resident Card inside the vehicle in the center console. When asked if these were his cards, the driver stated “Yes.”

After subsequent investigation, it was revealed the Social Security Card and the Permanent Resident Card were fraudulent. The driver was charged with 2 counts of Tam-pering with a Government Docu-ment. The driver’s Permanent Resi-dent Card and Social Security Card were also seized.

n Criminal Mischief: May 23 at 5:51 p.m. An officer was dispatched to gate 35 in reference to criminal mischief.

The Reporting Party took the officer to his office, which is in a hallway across from gate 35 secure side. His office door has a small rectangular window that had been shattered. Small pieces of glass and some of the window trim laying on the floor just inside the office.

The Reporting Party said he locked his office door and left to go run an errand around 5 p.m. When he returned around 5:25 p.m., he noticed the glass had been shat-tered, but his door was still locked and closed. The glass had been pushed back enough that someone could have reached in and unlocked the door. However, there appeared to be nothing missing.

If theft had been the intent of the unknown actor, it was not ap-parent what, if anything, had been taken.

While observing the glass for any possible fingerprints, the officer noticed red colored paint marks on the broken glass. Just around the corner by the elevator that goes down to the ramp, is a fire extin-guisher. The officer observed very small glass fragments on the bot-tom of the fire extinguisher. It ap-pears that whoever broke the glass did so with the fire extinguisher.

Estimated cost to replace the window is $100. n Hit and Run: May 23 at 2:30 p.m. An officer responded to a reported Hit and Run Accident at Terminal E, Gate 16, Level F parking. The vic-tim stated her vehicle (2007 Toyota Camry) was damaged by a vehicle (Toyota Highlander) parked next to her. The victim stated her vehicle was hit by the other vehicle’s drivers

side passenger door when people entered the vehicle causing two half inch long door dings on the driver’s side of her vehicle.

The victim said the first time the door hit her car, her husband asked them to be more careful when opening the door. Then the door was opened again as people were entering the vehicle and again the door hit the victim’s vehicle. The victim’s husband then asked the driver of the vehicle for his driver’s license and insurance to which the driver of the Toyota Highlander asked what for and got in his ve-hicle and left.

The victim estimated the dam-age at $250.

Since the operator of the Toy-ota Highlander knowingly caused damage to the Toyota Camry an of-fense report was filed. The Operator of the Toyota Highlander was de-scribed as an Indian Male, 5 05 ft., black hair, and in his late thirties.n Altered Parking Placard: May 21, 2012 at 1:41 p.m. An officer noticed a suspicious Texas disabled parking placard hanging in the windshield of a silver 2008 Chevy Equinox which was parked in a clearly marked handicap space.

After recognizing the appear-ance of the placard was suspicious, the officer looked through the ve-hicle’s windshield to closely inspect the placard and noticed two hole-punched expiration dates (Decem-ber/2006 & December/2012). It was obvious the user of the placard utilized “white out” to cover the original hand written expiration date of 2006 in an attempt to ille-gally change it to 2012. The owner also attempted to cover the original 2006 hole that had been punched by taping another hole punch into the space.

Due to the suspicious expiration dates, the officer came to the rea-sonable conclusion that the placard was fraudulent. The officer contact-ed Pro Tow Wrecker Service to im-pound the illegally parked vehicle.

Upon routine inventory of the vehicle the officer notice a small plastic baggie containing a green leafy substance that turned out to be marijuana. The drugs were weighed (2.4 grams (0.085 oz.)), packaged and sent to DPS Services to be destroyed.n Terroristic threat: May 21 at 10:20 a.m. An officer was advised by DFW Communications of a phone report holding regarding an instance of Terroristic Threat which occurred at the Bear Creek Golf Course.

The victim advised he was golf-ing on the 9th hole of the West Course. A white male, who was playing behind the victim, appar-ently felt he was golfing too slow. The suspect hit the ball close to the victim. When the victim turned around to speak to the suspect, the suspect said, “If you open your

mouth, I’ll take this club and wrap it around your f**king head.” The vic-tim immediately left the area with a Bear Creek Golf Club employee who had witnessed the threat and spoke with a manager.

The suspect is a white male in his mid thirties, approximately 5’10 in height, and was approximately 160 pounds. The victim advised he did not get the suspect’s name as he was too afraid to confront the suspect again because he feared for his safety and the suspect had the means to carry out the threat via a golf club. n Traffic Offense: May 20 at 12:30 p.m. An officer was running station-ary traffic enforcement in the 2800 block of North International Pkwy. A vehicle approached the officer’s location at a high rate of speed from the rear, and then passed oth-er motorists on the shoulder. While the vehicle was passing, it came ap-proximately two feet from striking the patrol unit.

The officer conducted a traffic stop for the violations.

POLICE REPORT

The officer approached the ve-hicle, silver Dodge Ram, and asked the driver for his license and in-surance and stated the reasons for the traffic stop. The officer also in-formed the driver his vehicle regis-tration and inspection both expired in 2011.

The driver produced his license and advised he did not have insur-ance for his vehicle. He advised he was supposed to be at work at 1230

hours and that is why he was pass-ing on the shoulder. I told Com-munications advised a search of NCIC/TCIC revealed the driver’s Texas Drivers License was current-ly suspended seven times.

The driver was placed under ar-rest for Driving While License In-valid and No Insurance.

The vehicle was impounded by Pro Tow Wrecker Service. The driver’s Texas Drivers License was seized and will be returned to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Continued from previous page

The event also offered several booths offering free games and ac-tivities.

“This event is all about having fun,” said Brian Gass, tour orga-nizer. “We are on site with things that are really important to the teens and youth of America: skate-boarding, motor cross, music, tons of fun and lots of free stuff. At the end of the day people come to the Journeys Backyard Barbeque, enjoy themselves and have a good time. Then at some point, we get them back into the store, they think about what a great time, and they buy shoes from Journeys.

“I think having the skateboard legends for the fans here is the coolest thing. We also have a free live show from POD. They have a huge fan base in Dallas. We are just excited to have a great event, and the weather worked out for us, so we are very happy.”

While visiting from Longview, Kevin Holmes’ stomach tattoo of a turbine won him some notoriety during the day’s festivities.

“We came out to have a good time with the family. We really en-joy the motor cross. And I just won second place in the worst tattoo contest. It’s kind of weird. Someone said he was a good artist, so I went to him and I picked it out, but it didn’t turnout good,” Holmes said.

Steve Van Doren, the son of Vans co-founder Paul Van Doren, was on hand to greet devotees of Vans products as well as to help or-ganize the Vans skate team.

“Grapevine Mills is a beautiful mall and they are allowing Journeys to host their Back Yard Barbeque here,” Van Doran said. “We have live bands playing music. It’s great out here being in Texas, and it really isn’t that hot.

“My family started Vans in 1966. Journeys is one of our best cus-tomers, and we are out supporting them. The people know our brand, and they come up to say hello.

“I have eight of my skaters do-ing demos and meeting fans. Other athletes have done motor cross and wakeboarding demos. All the fans of our skaters and all the people in Dallas are the best part of the event.”

Two of the world’s best known

and influential skateboarders, Tony Alva and Christian Hosoi per-formed demos and spent time sign-ing autographs during the event.

“This is my third year on the Journeys Tour. Dallas is fun,” Tony Alva said. “The temperatures are a little more humid and hot than what we are used to in California. But I travel a lot and I get to skate at different elevations at tempera-tures, so it’s just part of the chal-lenge of being a professional skate-boarder.

“Skating gives me a feeling of being healthy and it’s fun. But at the same time I feel like I’m mak-ing progress. I’m still learning after 40 years of professional skateboard-ing. My purpose in life is to be a professional skateboarder who car-ries a message built on my experi-ence, strength and hope.

“If you are a skateboarder, the main thing to remember is to have fun. It is like an abstract art for us and it’s the way we express our-selves. There are no guidelines or rules. The canvas is whatever we are riding and the easel is our board. Our body is part of the expression of being an athlete and at the same time being an artist.

“Being an artist is important for kids these days, because they need creative outlets instead of spending a lot of time doing things that are less productive. I think skateboard-ing can be really productive for the youth.

“The message is clean and sober. Real rock stars are sober nowadays.”

Christian Hosoi can now list author among his many accom-plishments as his first book Hosoi will be available in bookstores on June 12.

“I love being in Dallas,” Hosoi said. “I’ve been coming here since the early 80s. We’ve had skate-boarding contests here and it is al-ways great to come back to Texas. It reminds me of home, because there is a lot of family and people who support each other especially in the skateboarding community.

“When fans come out, they just want to meet you, shake your hand and get an autograph. I’ve been skateboarding professionally for almost 30 years. It is encouraging to know that people have been out there supporting us in our careers for all these years.

“I’ve definitely experienced life

and drugs. Whether it be being in gangs or doing things that are il-legal, I would encourage them to stay true to themselves and not get caught up in the follow the leader of people who are trying to get them to do things that are not go-ing to get them to their destination.

“If you want to be a profes-sional skater, you have to practice. You have to stay focused or else you will get sidetracked. I always encourage people to put God first. If God is not first, you will never put your goals first. You will always compromise who you are. It is all about faith, believing in yourself and believing in something bigger than you.

“That is what keeps me focused. I’m 12 and a half years sober/clean. I went to prison for five years. But God restored it all, and now I’m back skateboarding professionally, I have four children and a wife of 11 years. I encourage kids not to make the same mistakes I made.

“Young people need to focus on who they want to be and what they want to do. If you do that, you will get there.

“I always said that if I could skateboard for a job, I would never have to work a day in my life. And it has pretty much been that way since I was 14 years old.”

HOUSTON -- SpaceX’s Drag-on capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on May 31 at 11:42 a.m. EDT a few hundred miles west of Baja California, Mexico, marking a successful end to the first mission by a commercial company to resupply the International Space Station.

“Congratulations to the teams at SpaceX and NASA who worked hard to make this first commer-cial mission to the International Space Station an overwhelming success,” NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said. “This success-ful splashdown and the many other achievements of this mission her-ald a new era in U.S. commercial spaceflight. American innovation and inspiration have once again shown their great strength in the design and operation of a new gen-eration of vehicles to carry cargo to our laboratory in space. Now more than ever we’re counting on the in-ventiveness of American companies and American workers to make the International Space Station and other low Earth orbit destinations accessible to any and all who have dreams of space travel.”

The Dragon capsule was taken by boat to a port near Los Angeles, and prepared for a return journey to SpaceX’s test facility in McGregor, TX, for processing. Some cargo was removed at the port in California and returned to NASA within 48 hours. The remainder will be re-turned to Texas with the capsule.

The capsule delivered to the sta-tion 1,014 pounds of supplies in-

cluding experiments, food, clothing and technology. On its return trip to Earth, the capsule carried science experiments that will be returned to researchers hoping to gain new insights provided by the unique microgravity environment in the station’s laboratories. In addition to the experiments, Dragon returned a total of 1,367 pounds of hardware and cargo no longer needed aboard the station.

Dragon’s journey to the space station was SpaceX’s second dem-onstration mission under NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transporta-tion Services (COTS) Program, which provides investments to stimulate the commercial space industry in America. The mis-sion began May 22 as the capsule launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Following a series of tests of its maneuverabil-ity and abort systems, the capsule was grappled and berthed to the space station by the crew members of Expedition 31 aboard the orbit-ing complex.

In the next several weeks, NASA will evaluate the Dragon capsule’s mission performance to close out remaining COTS milestones. Once that work is completed NASA and SpaceX will set the target date for the company’s first full cargo mis-sion.

NASA is also helping spur de-velopment of commercial space-craft to transport astronauts to low Earth orbit and the space station.

A Dentist You Can Collaborate With —

This summer, as TNT prepares to launch the eagerly anticipated new series Dallas, and as JetBlue Airways marks the start of its new route between Dallas/Fort Worth and Boston, the two innovators are teaming up with a unique market-ing campaign designed to surprise and delight Dallas enthusiasts and JetBlue customers alike with a Tex-as-size welcome stunt kicking off the two month campaign.

Using the Earth as his palette, environmental artist Stan Herd cre-ated a five-acre art installation that is visible from all JetBlue flights departing from or arriving to Dal-las/Fort Worth Airport (DFW). Herd’s art installations, known as

Earthworks, are renowned around the world for their creativity and use of sustainable materials.

His Dallas/JetBlue art installa-tion incorporates 20 tons of mulch, 10 tons of sand, 6 tons of rock, limestone, prairie hay, crushed pe-can shells and even Terra Blues® to help achieve the blue hue of the JetBlue logo. The image, best seen from the sky, features two of the most recognizable Dallas charac-ters, JR Ewing (Larry Hagman) and Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), as well as the iconic Southfork arch and the message “Dallas Welcomes JetBlue.” The installation will be in place through July 31 and was unveiled at a private event held on

June 1 in Dallas. “Dallas has a reputation for be-

ing larger than life, from the char-acters and the scheming to the power struggles and the backstabs,” said Tricia Melton, Senior Vice President of Entertainment Mar-keting for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). “Nothing is done on a small scale with the Ewing clan, so when we thought about how the Ewings would wel-come JetBlue to Dallas, we knew the message had to be big and bold. This five-acre environmental installation embodies not only the Ewing spirit but also the dramatic impact of the TNT brand and the quirky, fun personality of the Jet-

Blue brand.” “We are thrilled to receive this

Dallas-size welcome from TNT and the cast of Dallas,” said Jet-Blue’s Manager of Regional Mar-keting Jace Hieda, “This partner-ship is a perfect example of how we try to make the flying experience

more enjoyable for our customers with fun extras and entertaining ex-periences. It also presented us with an opportunity to tell the story of our launch into DFW in a unique way - flying to DFW has never been so affordable or fun!”

them a flexible schedule that will allow them to balance their train-ing and their study time.

“It has been very rewarding to our students to be able to see these Olympians. We have up to 50 Olympians this year that are Devry University students. So we have been able to have that inter-action on our campuses this year. We are excited about the upcoming games.”

By meeting people through the tour, LaMont Smith hopes to encourage others to pursue their dreams.

“At some point in time, I think everyone aspires to be an Olym-pian,” Smith said. “It means a lot that I have been able to achieve that goal. I will always be an Olympian. It is something that is for life.

“I tell people all the time that I really don’t know what it is like to be a teenager. I started as a junior in high school. When my friends were doing senior things, going to parties, hanging out and things like that, I was somewhere training with my coach getting ready for another meet. So I really don’t know what it is like to have those typical teen-age years. But in hindsight, I would never trade it, because it made me who I am. It helped me to be dis-ciplined and make tough choices. When I look back at the process, getting there and all the people who help support me are the most important things.

“I remember sitting in my coach’s office and telling him I wanted to be an Olympic athlete, but I didn’t know about all the hard work that went into it. I was pretty young and in college, so I would practice, go to class and go home. There were a lot of things my friends did that I couldn’t do. There was a lot of sac-rifice, but when you achieve your goal, it is all worth it.

“I am proud of the choices I made. My mother is no longer here, and I remember handing her my Olympic medal as soon as I left the podium. Those are the things I re-member the most, and I take with me. I appreciate the things she and my father taught me and the val-ues they instilled in me mean a lot more now that I am older.

“I hope that when people meet me they realize that dreams do come true, and you can do whatever you want to do. You just have to put in the work and believe that you can do it. You have to work hard, it’s not easy. Know that reaching your dreams will take sacrifice and tough choices. I believe in them. Anyone who aspires can reach their goals.”

As an official education pro-vider of Team USA, DeVry Uni-versity and its Keller Graduate School of Management provide higher education opportunities at undergraduate and graduate levels, including scholarships and a dedi-cated DeVry staff, for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes and hope-fuls through 2016. Jordan Malone hopes to continue his education through DeVry as he trains for his next Olympic challenge.

“Not many people know that there is a winter Olympian from Denton, TX. People are more in-vested when they know someone going to the Olympics, so I want to meet people and I want people to know me and help cheer me on in 2014,” Malone said. “I took off from my academic career to focus on the Olympics, because training for short track speed skating is a full time thing. There is not enough time for a job much less going after something academically. I want be the best at both my athletics and academics.

“I took the last two years off af-ter the Olympics in Vancouver to go to Northern Michigan Univer-sity where they have a small short track program. I’m a normal stu-

dent. When I’m on campus, I don’t wear my medal around. The only thing that sets me apart from other students is that I saw a dream, I went after it and I accomplished it.

“Now I have to move back to Salt Lake City, and to the rescue comes DeVry University. My finan-cial situation isn’t one where I can go to school and focus on skating at the same time. DeVry comes in and they help the athletes by allowing us a program that works with our schedules and that also financially works with us.

“I’m enrolling in DeVry in the fall with 54 credits into an electrical engineering degree and a 4.0 GPA. I’ll take a few courses over the next two years before the Sochi (Rus-sia) games. I sure like that DeVry is opening up a relationship that will be mutually beneficial.

“When athletes leave the sport they are so passionate about, they often have a hard time finding something else they can be as pas-sionate about. I am very passionate about electrical engineering and more specifically about sustainable alternative energy.”

Gaston Amezcua took some time off from studying gaming and simulation programming to enjoy the tour event.

“I am pretty happy that the Olympians actually came out to our school. It is awesome to meet real Olympians. We took pictures and everything,” Amezcua said. “I tried all the events. By far the most fun is the rowing station. I also liked the weightlifting one. It was great to lift the barbell up and take a picture.”

Jubilee Jumbo takes flight

One of British Airways’ fleet of 747s is now featuring a very spe-cial emblem to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The celebratory aircraft will be flying its message of congratulations around the world.

Designed by 11-year-old Blue Peter winner, Katherine Dewar from Chester, the official logo has been emblazoned on the side of the British Airways aircraft alongside the words, “Congratulations, Cel-ebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Dia-mond Jubilee”.

“Since winning the competition, it’s been like a dream come true to see my design in so many different places around the UK but I never expected to see it on a huge jumbo plane,” Katherine Dewar said.

“I love going on holiday to Flor-ida and hope the next time I do I’ll be lucky enough to fly on this plane so I can look out the window at my design!”

“As the national flag carrier I can’t think of anything more fit-ting than British Airways carry-

ing a message of congratulations to Her Majesty around the world,” said British Airways’ Captain Mark Mannering – Smith.

Customers travelling on flights arriving into London over the Ju-bilee weekend ( June 2-5) will hear British Airways captains making congratulatory announcements to

mark the occasion.In British Airways’ Heathrow

lounges, customers will be offered a regal afternoon tea, including a se-lection of traditional British sand-wiches, sweet treats and a special Jubilee blend of tea from Twinings.

Though confined to a wheelchair, Shawn Beam took up the sport of bowling nearly 22 years ago, seeing it as a great opportunity to spend competitive time with his friends.

Last week, the Burleson, TX, resident’s hard work and dedi-cation to the sport led to the accomplishment of a lifetime.

Beam, 36, put together 12 consecutive strikes for a 300 game in his TGIF league at Cityview Lanes in Fort Worth on May 18. The American Wheelchair Bowling Association (AWBA) re-ports Beam is the first freehand wheelchair bowler to shoot a cer-tified perfect game. The United States Bowling Congress, the sport’s national governing body, has certified the score as official.

For Beam, who suffered from a pinched nerve in his spine at birth and has always required the use of a wheelchair, the perfect game was a realization of a dream he has had since he started bowling competi-tively as a teenager.

“There are not a lot of sports for people in wheelchairs where you

can feel like you can compete on the same playing field as everyone else, and that has always been the big draw for me,” said Beam, a mail-room supervisor for American Air-lines who maintains a 190 league average. “I’ve never let my chair keep me from doing what I want to do. Wheelchair basketball guys will never be in the NBA, but you can compete with anyone in bowling.”

The AWBA has been working to raise awareness of its organization and hopes Beam’s accomplishment will spread the word about wheel-chair bowling.

“For the AWBA, it brings to its members a sense of pride in what we do and how we do it,” AWBA Chairperson Joe Fox Sr. said. “It has already opened the eyes of many to the sport of wheelchair bowling. We will continue to teach those in chairs the sport of wheelchair bowl-ing, continue to build our organiza-tion around ability not disability, and continue to work with those that govern the sport at USBC to plant seeds throughout our great country about our sport.”

At age 15 when Beam began bowling, it wasn’t something he re-ally wanted to do, but after his fam-ily, which had always been involved

in the sport, insisted, he gave it a try. The first season he bowled, Beam averaged just 69 but said the sport “got into his blood” and he never looked back.

Over the past few years, Beam has become more serious about his abilities as a wheelchair bowler. He joined the AWBA and began com-peting in the organization’s tour-naments. He will compete in the AWBA National Championships next month in Milwaukee. But the most important thing Beam wants people to take from his accomplish-ment is that bowling is a sport for anyone confined to a wheelchair, not just those who want to be the best.

“The best thing about wheel-chair bowling is you have that sense of camaraderie you have in sports,” Beam said. “You don’t have to be good, because anyone can bowl and it’s fun for anyone no matter what

your average is. But people can’t get discouraged because I’m a testa-ment to how you can start with a low average and make it to the top with hard work and perseverance.”

Even with all the hard work Beam has put into the sport, he never imagined he would be cel-ebrating a perfect game.

“Bowling a 300 game was some-thing I never thought was possible, and I can’t explain what it feels like,” he said. “I threw the last ball and I knew I had hit my mark and every-thing was right. When it struck, I was overwhelmed. If I could have fallen to my knees, I would have.”

The American Wheelchair Bowling Association, which certi-fies its competition with the United States Bowling Congress, has more than 500 members and conducts an average of 10 tournaments each year. Source: United States Bowling Congress

Globe Trotter also took some time to empha-size the impor-tance of educa-tion.

“I have a de-gree in sociol-ogy. So I’m not just beauty, I’m also brains,” Daley said.

Michael Crotty, the principal of F.M. Gilbert Elementary, was excited to have his students hear Daley’s message.

“I hope the kids got the old fash-ioned idea that just playing outside is a wonderful thing: getting exer-cise and taking care of yourself,” Crotty said. “I think he lent them ideas about how to get out from in front of the TV and Xbox and go outside and just play.

“Having someone like Special K speak to the students certainly re-inforces the message. The students heard from a celebrity who could choose to do other activities, and he chooses a healthy sport.

“It was a real honor to have the Harlem Globe Trotters through Special K Daily set foot on our little playground. I love what the Globe Trotters represent. They have the kind of multi-culture spirit that we are developing here at FM Gilbert.”

Snow White and the HuntsmanRated: pG-13

Finally there is a fairy tale film that adults can sink their teeth into. Yet it stays very true to the origi-

nal story and concept. Snow White and the Huntsman is as dark and gritty as I am sure the Brothers Grimm origi-nally intended it to be. There have been many kid versions over the years and each with a bit of quirky humor

and slightly evil characters. But this one actually pushes the envelope of psychotic queens, abandoned hero-ines, and vagabond dwarves.

We all know the story well. Snow White’s (Kristen Stewart) evil step mother (Charlize Theron) seduces and kills the king, locks Snow away in the castle, and allows the king-dom to waste away to desolation.

Snow finally escapes and rallies a band of dwarves, and in this case a tracker named “The Huntsman” (Chris Hemsworth), to help her take back her rightful throne from the evil queen. Along the way they face demented trolls, travel through an enchanted forest, and meet some spritely fairies.

Theron takes the evil queen role to a place that is superior to all that have come before her. In the past, we have seen many evil characters that we can boo or love to hate. But Theron adds a dash of psychotic that makes her not only evil but fero-ciously unstable. She gets a look in her eye and a temperament in her voice that lets you know that evil is an understatement for what is go-ing on here. This transports the role from the run of the mill fairy tale and gives it validity. As with all successful psychopaths, she does it with such subtlety and without ever seeming to lose control. She is violent but always aware of where she is.

Many say that Stewart is a one note horn and that she rarely strays from the sullen Bella character we

see in the Twilight Franchise. This film will certainly help this argu-ment. It isn’t that she doesn’t make a good Snow White, but she just gives us what we always get. Quiet, moody, frail, indecisive, the world is against me waif. Luckily she doesn’t have to act a lot here. She gives a rally speech near the end that you hold your breath and hope she gets through. That is sad, because if you have seen any of her less popular work (The Runwaways), you know that she is a strong and capable actress. But possibly the Twilight franchise has ruined her forever.

The addition of The Huntsman was a good choice too. We are all aware of the seven dwarves, and they are brought to life here nicely. But it helps to have the traditional handsome prince be portrayed more as a drunken ruffian. This makes the time period and the state of the union more authentic. Hemsworth looks just as macho with a sword as he does a hammer. He is a manly man and there is little stretch for him here, but he does a worthy job.

Director Rupert Sanders does

a fantastic job of melding all the personality traits into an adult ver-sion of the story. This movie has the same feel from past epics like Lord of the Rings. The kingdom is highly oppressed and the bleak darkness of the surroundings and the tone of the characters solidify that. There are many scenes of the band of war-riors trudging through cold, muddy wastelands. This helps the viewer understand how important it is for Snow to take back the kingdom. There is no life without her.

The effects are also top notch. There is much sorcery and magic in this one and the creation of appari-tions and other world warriors add to the adventure. There are a few moments when the green screen is apparent but for the most part it is believable.

Snow White and the Huntsman is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and brief sensuality. I give it 4 out of 5 lutes. One of the better retellings to hit the screen.

Fairy tale revels an old story’s dark heart

Chevrolet recently announced a three-year partnership with the One World Futbol Project, an award-winning B-Corporation and creators of the One World Futbol that will result in 1.5 million virtu-ally indestructible soccer balls being donated to youth in war-stricken zones, refugee camps, disaster areas and other disadvantaged communi-ties around the world.

Chevrolet’s pledge will be ex-ecuted through a global network of organizations dedicated to helping empower the next generation of soccer players.

“The One World Futbol Project celebrates a primary value that is very close to Chevrolet, that soc-cer can touch lives and bring posi-tive change throughout the world,” said General Motors Global Chief Marketing Officer Joel Ewanick. “We’re excited to support the One World Futbol Project’s mission to

rally millions throughout the world to join in this effort and create a global movement for the good of the game and people who are pas-sionate about it.”

Chevrolet becomes the found-ing sponsor of the organization, which was established in 2010 due in part to early support from world-renowned musician Sting. Chevro-let’s support is part of a company-wide global soccer initiative that includes sponsorship of Barclays Premier League giants Manchester United.

“In Chevrolet we have a partner that has shown a passion and true appreciation of football’s power to effect positive change,” said Man-chester United’s Chief Executive and Chairman of the Manchester United Foundation, David Gill.

Since its inception, the One World Futbol Project has posi-tively affected more than 525,000

lives in 137 countries through more than 138 organizations – includ-ing schools, orphanages, and non-profits – which use sport to resolve conflicts, teach tolerance, and build communities.

One World Futbol inventor Tim Jahnigen, also an accomplished lyr-icist, was inspired to start the proj-

ect after watching CNN footage of kids in Darfur playing a soccer game using a ball of trash tied up with twine. Jahnigen decided to cre-ate a ball that would play like a real soccer but would not be destroyed by the harsh conditions facing play-ers in some parts of the world.

FUN AND GAMESSecurity agreement allows cheaper, faster air cargo operations

The European Commission and the U.S.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have agreed to recognize each other’s air cargo security regimes starting on June 1. This recognition will eliminate duplication of security controls and the need to implement different regimes depending on the desti-nation of air cargo. It will substantially cut cargo operators’ costs and save time.

“This is a big step forward and it will have a major business impact. Air freight is by definition naturally urgent. Cutting out the duplication of security procedures will mean huge savings for cargo operators in terms of time and money,” said Siim Kallas, Vice-President of the European Commission re-sponsible for transport.

The goods transported by air from the EU to the US alone are worth more than 107 bil-lion euros, which is 27 percent of the value of all goods exported by air by the EU (2011 fig-ures). The EU and U.S. are each other’s single most important destination for air cargo.

Security measures may account for up to 4 percent of turnover, and the cost of duplicate transatlantic measures can account for one-fifth of the security costs.

Close cooperation between the European Commission and the TSA over the last few months permitted the air cargo security re-gimes in place in the EU and the U.S. to be compared in detail and to be confirmed as ensuring an equivalent, high level of security. Air carriers transporting cargo from EU air-ports to the U.S. therefore no longer need to apply different measures, but need to imple-ment in full the EU legal requirements which lay down obligations on the screening of con-signments and on a regulated secure supply chain. Both sides also agreed to exchange information on the evolution of each other’s security regimes, including participation in inspections, in order to ensure continued and full compliance by air cargo operators.

The EU also recognizes the U.S. cargo se-curity regime as meeting the recently adopt-ed EU requirements for cargo being flown into the EU from third countries. Therefore, no additional measures are required for ship-ments from the U.S. to the EU.

Before recognition of the respective secu-rity regimes, air cargo flown into the U.S. had to be submitted to controls defined in secu-rity programs issued by the TSA. This did not take into consideration the extensive controls already applied at EU airports.
