Devastated
Cemetery care draws response
Dear Editor:
.
Recently, I read a letter from "inconsiderate" about the
care of the Beech Grove Cemetery.
'Like them, I also have family buried there. so I thought I
had better check things out for myself. Lord have mercy on
)"hat I found. I was so upset I couldn't quit crying. There
was more "trash" in the ce1netery than !lowers. They must
~ave ran over every !lower that blew out in the previous
wind storms. the trimming around the headstones was horrible. I went hack to my car and got a plasti&lt;.: bag. so 1 \'&lt;HI Id
pick up the trash that had been strewn about. .I was deva'tated. I don 't understand how anyone could do this. It's just
disrespectful.
I have never had to worry before , so there wasn't really a
need for me to "check" 'on the status of my family's graves.
All I can say is that the men who mow should have put
themselves in my shoes. If you walked up and saw what I
did, they would be angry too.
: I don't know how they decide who mows what and when,
and I really don 't care, but something has to be done. If it
was your family, 1am sure they would want a voice in how
(he cemetery is taken care of. But someone has to listen to
~sand if enough of us complain maybe, just maybe. something will be done.
·
.
It is disheartening to know thano whoever was mowing
it is just a headstone. but to it's the place where my grand·
parents were laid to rest.

Devastated
Cemetery care draws response
Dear Editor:
.
Recently, I read a letter from "inconsiderate" about the
care of the Beech Grove Cemetery.
'Like them, I also have family buried there. so I thought I
had better check things out for myself. Lord have mercy on
)"hat I found. I was so upset I couldn't quit crying. There
was more "trash" in the ce1netery than !lowers. They must
~ave ran over every !lower that blew out in the previous
wind storms. the trimming around the headstones was horrible. I went hack to my car and got a plasti&lt;.: bag. so 1 \'&lt;HI Id
pick up the trash that had been strewn about. .I was deva'tated. I don 't understand how anyone could do this. It's just
disrespectful.
I have never had to worry before , so there wasn't really a
need for me to "check" 'on the status of my family's graves.
All I can say is that the men who mow should have put
themselves in my shoes. If you walked up and saw what I
did, they would be angry too.
: I don't know how they decide who mows what and when,
and I really don 't care, but something has to be done. If it
was your family, 1am sure they would want a voice in how
(he cemetery is taken care of. But someone has to listen to
~sand if enough of us complain maybe, just maybe. something will be done.
·
.
It is disheartening to know thano whoever was mowing
it is just a headstone. but to it's the place where my grand·
parents were laid to rest.

· WASHINGTON (APJ - It may be riskier on the lungs to
smoke cigarettes today than it was a few decades ago - at
!east in the U.S., says new research that blames changes in
~igarette design for fueling a certain type of lung cancer.
Up to half of the nation's lung cancer cases may be due to
those changes. Dr. David Bums of the University of California,
San Diego, tol9 a recent meeting of tobacco researchers.
It's not the d'irst time that scientists have concluded the
19«ls movement for lower-tar cigarettes brought some unexpected consequences. But this study, while preliminary, is
among _the most in:depth looks. And intriguingly it found the
increase in a kind of lung tumor called adenocarcinoma was
higher in the U.S. than in Australia even though both countries switched to so-called milder ci~arettes at the same time.
"~e most li~ely exp_lanation for 1t is a change in the cigarette, Bu.ms srud m an mtervtew - .and he c1ted a d1fference:
Cigarettes sold in Australia contain lower levels of
ttitrosamines, a known carcinogen, than those sold in the U.S.
· That's circumstantial evidence that requires more
research, he acknowledged . ·
·
But anti-smokirig advocates are citing the study as
Congress considers whether the Food and Drug
Administration should regulate tobacco, legislation that
would give the agency power to decide such things as
whether to set caps on certain chemicals in tobacco smoke.
·· Smokers once tended to get lung_cancer in larger air rubes,
particularly a type named "squamous cell carcinoma." Then
doctors noticed a jump in adenocarcinoma, which grows in
small air sacs far deeper in the lung , Initial studies blamed
introduction of filtered , lower-tar·cigarettes. When smokers
switched, they began inhaling more deeply to get their nicotine jolt, pushing cancer-causing smoke deeper than before.
Bums' study, presented at a meeting of the Society for
Research on Nicotine and Tobacco , took a closer look. He
compared smoking behaviors of different age groups over
four decades - how mu•h they smoked, when they started, when they qUit - and how cancer-risk changed.
The risk of squamous cell carci"noma stayed about. the
same over those years, Bums found. But adenocarcinoma
rose. It makes up 65 percent to 70 percent of newly occurring U.S .lung cancer cases, but no more than 40 percent of
·
Australia's lung cancer, he said.
While lhe nation's total lung cancer cases have inched
down as the number of smokers has dropped in recent
years,the study suggests an individual smoker's risk of getting cancer is higher..
It's well known that cigarettes differ from country to
country. because of different tobacco crops grown locally
and smokers' varying tastes. Nitrosarnines are a byproduct
of tobacco processing and levels vary for several reasons.
including dtfferences in curing practices.
Australian cigarettes contain a.bout 20 J?Crcent of the
ll.itrosamine content of !J.S. cigarettes, makmg the chemical a prime suspect; concluded Burns, who has been scientific editor of several surgeon general re)'&lt;?rtS on tobacco.
That doesn't rule out a role for deeper mhaling, cautioned
Dr. Michael Thun of the Amencan Cancer Society:
"There's several strong suspects in the lineup. They may
have acted in combination.'
·. Philip Morris USA spokesman David Sutton called the
study speculative and hard to evaluate until it's published in
a· m~dical journal , sowet~ing Bums plans to do . .
.·
· Still, Phtbp Moms, whtch supports 'FDA tobacco regulation, began taking steps with its growers in 2000 that have
yielded ''significantly lower" nitrosamine levels in recent
years' supplies, Sutton said. ·
·
·
Be careful in assuming lower-nitrosamine cigarettes are
less lethal. said Dr. Neal Benowitz of the University of
California, San. Francisco, a well-known tobacco expert.
Lung cancer is only one of tobacco's many risks - it causes heart disease and other kilter diseases, too.
: "If you reduce someone's (lung cancer) risk by 10 ~r­
cent, that's not really meaningful for an individual,' he
said. "The goal still is to get them to stop."

· WASHINGTON (APJ - It may be riskier on the lungs to
smoke cigarettes today than it was a few decades ago - at
!east in the U.S., says new research that blames changes in
~igarette design for fueling a certain type of lung cancer.
Up to half of the nation's lung cancer cases may be due to
those changes. Dr. David Bums of the University of California,
San Diego, tol9 a recent meeting of tobacco researchers.
It's not the d'irst time that scientists have concluded the
19«ls movement for lower-tar cigarettes brought some unexpected consequences. But this study, while preliminary, is
among _the most in:depth looks. And intriguingly it found the
increase in a kind of lung tumor called adenocarcinoma was
higher in the U.S. than in Australia even though both countries switched to so-called milder ci~arettes at the same time.
"~e most li~ely exp_lanation for 1t is a change in the cigarette, Bu.ms srud m an mtervtew - .and he c1ted a d1fference:
Cigarettes sold in Australia contain lower levels of
ttitrosamines, a known carcinogen, than those sold in the U.S.
· That's circumstantial evidence that requires more
research, he acknowledged . ·
·
But anti-smokirig advocates are citing the study as
Congress considers whether the Food and Drug
Administration should regulate tobacco, legislation that
would give the agency power to decide such things as
whether to set caps on certain chemicals in tobacco smoke.
·· Smokers once tended to get lung_cancer in larger air rubes,
particularly a type named "squamous cell carcinoma." Then
doctors noticed a jump in adenocarcinoma, which grows in
small air sacs far deeper in the lung , Initial studies blamed
introduction of filtered , lower-tar·cigarettes. When smokers
switched, they began inhaling more deeply to get their nicotine jolt, pushing cancer-causing smoke deeper than before.
Bums' study, presented at a meeting of the Society for
Research on Nicotine and Tobacco , took a closer look. He
compared smoking behaviors of different age groups over
four decades - how mu•h they smoked, when they started, when they qUit - and how cancer-risk changed.
The risk of squamous cell carci"noma stayed about. the
same over those years, Bums found. But adenocarcinoma
rose. It makes up 65 percent to 70 percent of newly occurring U.S .lung cancer cases, but no more than 40 percent of
·
Australia's lung cancer, he said.
While lhe nation's total lung cancer cases have inched
down as the number of smokers has dropped in recent
years,the study suggests an individual smoker's risk of getting cancer is higher..
It's well known that cigarettes differ from country to
country. because of different tobacco crops grown locally
and smokers' varying tastes. Nitrosarnines are a byproduct
of tobacco processing and levels vary for several reasons.
including dtfferences in curing practices.
Australian cigarettes contain a.bout 20 J?Crcent of the
ll.itrosamine content of !J.S. cigarettes, makmg the chemical a prime suspect; concluded Burns, who has been scientific editor of several surgeon general re)'&lt;?rtS on tobacco.
That doesn't rule out a role for deeper mhaling, cautioned
Dr. Michael Thun of the Amencan Cancer Society:
"There's several strong suspects in the lineup. They may
have acted in combination.'
·. Philip Morris USA spokesman David Sutton called the
study speculative and hard to evaluate until it's published in
a· m~dical journal , sowet~ing Bums plans to do . .
.·
· Still, Phtbp Moms, whtch supports 'FDA tobacco regulation, began taking steps with its growers in 2000 that have
yielded ''significantly lower" nitrosamine levels in recent
years' supplies, Sutton said. ·
·
·
Be careful in assuming lower-nitrosamine cigarettes are
less lethal. said Dr. Neal Benowitz of the University of
California, San. Francisco, a well-known tobacco expert.
Lung cancer is only one of tobacco's many risks - it causes heart disease and other kilter diseases, too.
: "If you reduce someone's (lung cancer) risk by 10 ~r­
cent, that's not really meaningful for an individual,' he
said. "The goal still is to get them to stop."

Gruden has been a vocal

specifically objecting to

"I don't watch ESPN," he
said in 2007. "These reports
make me sick, really."
'There's a lot of reports out
there," Groden said. "I just
wish some of these reports
were verified."
The son of a former NFL
and college coach. Gruden
was ftred after his team lost
four straight games to miss
the· playoffs. He worked as a
guest analyst this year with
the NFL Network during the
dmft and scouting combine.
Gruden was an NFL bead
coach the past II seasons,
with the Buccaneers (200208) and Oakland Raiders
(1998-01). He had a 100-85
record, leading his teams to
five division titles.

"My fear of plane:. is legendary and sadly true,'' he

he felt he'd be able to mix lhe

Gruden has been a vocal
critic of ESPN in the past,
specifically objecting to
anonymously sourced reports
by the networlc.
"I don't watch ESPN," he
said in 2007. "These reports
make me sick, really."
'There's a lot of reports out
there," Groden said. "I just
wish some of these reports
were verified."
The son of a former NFL
and college coach. Gruden
was ftred after his team lost
four straight games to miss
the· playoffs. He worked as a
guest analyst this year with
the NFL Network during the
dmft and scouting combine.
Gruden was an NFL bead
coach the past II seasons,
with the Buccaneers (200208) and Oakland Raiders
(1998-01). He had a 100-85
record, leading his teams to
five division titles.
