Henry Ford Museum Honor Roll
changing name to
reflect innovation focus
Continued from page T3
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — The
Henry Ford Museum in suburban
Detroit has changed its name to better
convey the museum’s collection and
its core focus on innovation, officials
announced Monday.
The museum now will be known as
the Henry Ford Museum of American
Innovation.
The museum was founded by auto
pioneer Henry Ford and is part of The
Henry Ford, a popular tourist destination in Dearborn, Michigan.
“Henry Ford Museum has always
been about ideas and innovations that
changed the world,” Patricia Mooradian, president of The Henry Ford
Museum, said in a statement.
“We believe adding the word innovation to the museum’s name better
serves our visitors as it clearly defines
the museum’s focus.”
The museum’s collection includes
artifacts and exhibits that showcase
American history, ideas and innovations, including the railroad, auto,
aviation and agriculture industries.
Other well-known artifacts include
the limousine in which President John
F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963
and President George Washington’s
camping supplies.
The Henry Ford also will collaborate on the development of courses
for students in grades 6 through 8
to foster problem-solving, creativity
and innovation. And it will continue
the educational television series “The
Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation,”
which is in its third season.

whole story.
Residents in the horse-loving
resort region of Jackson Hole are

right thing in leaving the horse, did
all it could to find her or should have
put her down to spare her suffering.
The state Board of Livestock is
investigating and will forward its

Book Review:
‘Fatal’ by Lescroart
“Fatal” (Atria), by John Lescroart
A stupid mistake has serious ramifications in “Fatal,” John Lescroart’s
latest stand-alone thriller.
Kate Jameson loves her life and
marriage to Ron. She has two children,
and her best friend for over 20 years is
Beth, a San Francisco police detective.
At a dinner party she meets another
couple, Peter and Jill. For some reason
she becomes obsessed with Peter.
Kate tries to bury it, but the desire is
too strong and she arranges a meeting with him in a hotel. They have a
passionate encounter and then walk
away from each other.
Soon after the liaison, Kate is sitting with Beth in a cafe when a man
walks in with a gun. The events that
happen and the aftermath will echo
not only with Kate and Beth, but also
with the people they care about.
Six months after the tragedy, Beth
receives a case where a man’s body
washes up on the beach. The dead
man is Peter.
A story of normal people making
insane decisions while trying to hide
infidelity could easily get steered in
the wrong direction and make the
characters too unlikeable. Due to a
sudden lack in judgment, everyone
close becomes embroiled in the web
of deceit that is necessary to keep the
truth quiet.
Somehow Lescroart weaves this
moral ambiguity into a tale that is
both frustrating and gratifying. His
writing is constantly surprising, and
the ending is perfect. Fans will not
miss his regular series characters,
while those who have never read his
novels will discover a true master of
the craft.

Hawaii bill aims for 100 percent
renewable transportation
HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii has
the most aggressive renewable energy
targets in the nation, aiming for its utilities to get 100 percent of their electricity
from renewable sources by 2045.
Now advocates want to extend that
goal to the transportation sector to urge
all forms of ground transportation to fuel
up using renewable sources by 2045.
“The majority of our fossil fuel goes
into transportation, and that’s a challenge
that we have to solve, and we currently
don’t have a vision for what that future
looks like,” said Jeff Mikulina, executive
director of the Blue Planet Foundation,
which is pushing the bill.
But Hawaii officials aren’t planning
to make everyone get rid of their fuelpowered cars — at least not yet.
“Nobody wants to step in and force
people to get rid of cars that they might
love now,” said state Rep. Chris Lee,
chairman of the Energy and Environment committee.
The goal represents a steep climb for
the auto industry in a state where there
are about 5,000 electric vehicles, out of
an estimated 1 million cars on the road.
“Our ability to achieve it is really
going to be dependent on what happens
throughout the entire automotive industry,” said Hugh Baker, managing director
of HD Baker & Co., an energy consulting company. “We can say we want 100
percent clean transportation technology,
but the market in Hawaii is not nearly
big enough by itself to move the whole
global automotive industry. It will really
take more than just Hawaii.”
Unlike Hawaii’s groundbreaking
100 percent renewable goal for electricity, where utilities in the state will be
fined if they don’t comply by deadline,
the proposed transportation goal isn’t a
mandate.
With 1 million cars on the roads,
hundreds of auto dealerships and multiple counties with fleets of vehicles,
it’s unclear how the state could enforce
a renewable fuels mandate, advocates
said. Beyond the vehicle stakeholders,
there are cyclists and pedestrians in the
mix, making it challenging for the state
to even measure what percentage of the
state’s transportation fuel comes from
renewables.
The bill is being introduced in the
Hawaii Legislature, which began Wednesday. If passed, Hawaii would be the first
in the nation to set such a high goal for its
transportation sector. Vermont also has an
aggressive goal for renewable fuel in transportation, but most states don’t have such
targets in place.
“That’s a huge, huge transformation,”
said Hawaii Gov. David Ige in a recent
interview with The Associated Press.
“We are the most isolated community
on the planet, and we import virtually
all of the oil we use today.”
Details of the bill are still being
worked out, but it’s undecided whether
it will come with funding, Lee said.
The state recently created a new position in the Department of Transportation
to work on renewable fuels in transportation, and it is planning to build infrastructure to increase electric vehicle charging
stations at work locations in Honolulu’s
urban core using state funds, he said.
Lawmakers also are introducing a bill
to boost the required number of electric
vehicle charging stations, which is currently 1 station per 100 spaces, so that
commuters can charge electric vehicles
during the day when more energy from
the sun is pumping into the grid.
Encouraging more electric vehicles
— or “batteries on wheels” — could
help Hawaii meet its renewable electricity goals.
“It’s easier to manage more renewable
energy when we have electric vehicles on
the grid that can suck up that excess and
hopefully in the future put some energy
back on the grid,” Mikulina said.
Auto dealers in Hawaii support the
transition to renewable energy, but they
believe it will take a massive advertising campaign by the state to encourage
people to buy vehicles powered by alternative fuels, said David Rolf, executive
director of the Hawaii Automobile Dealers Association.
“I’m passionate about this goal, but
I’m also realistic,” Rolf said.
Hawaii’s residents ranked second
in the nation in 2015 with 2.94 electric
vehicles for every 1,000 residents, just
behind California, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy.
Tackling the fossil fuels used in air
travel — which is critical to Hawaii’s
tourism-driven economy — will have
to wait.
About a quarter of the 36 million
barrels of oil Hawaii imported in 2015
was used for commercial aviation. But
the long flights require energy in a dense
form, and with today’s technology that’s
generally only available in fuels, energy
experts said.
“They need to go so far between
recharge opportunities that they really
need something with a higher energy
density than batteries, and it’s just not
even physically possible for an airplane
to carry enough batteries to go where
it needs to go,” said Matthias Fripp, an
assistant professor in the Department of
Electrical Engineering at the University
of Hawaii at Manoa.
Indianapolis aviation museum
to open a Rolls-Royce campus
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A company
museum at Rolls-Royce North America’s
downtown Indianapolis campus is getting ready to open its doors.
The museum, which opens Tuesday,
features interactive digital displays,
aircraft engines from the 1920s and
military fighter jets, The Indianapolis
Business Journal reported.
Organizers say the museum aims to
get adolescents interested in science and
technology, and maybe entice an aerospace career in the future.
“This is the place to start the spark,”
said Dave Newill, president of the Allison
Branch of the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust.
Newill heads one of five branches of
the Heritage Trust, which aim to preserve the history of the ancestor companies that eventually became part of the
modern Rolls-Royce, an international
corporation with operations in more
than 50 countries.
Indianapolis-based VisionThree LLC
created the interactive digital displays,
which allow visitors to learn more about
the objects in front of them. Visiting
school groups will be able to have onside lessons with a wheeled cabinet filled
with educational materials.
This is the second location for the
exhibit. Rolls-Royce spokesman Joel
Reuter said the former location in
southwest Indianapolis wasn’t easy to
stumble across. Organizers hope the
new location will catch the attention of
downtown visitors.
Heritage Trust members tapped into
their institutional knowledge and their
networking skills to acquire the engines
in the exhibit. They also spent many
hours cleaning and repairing the items
to make them display-worthy. They’ll
continue searching for new items to add
to the collection.
Museum displays will be updated to
rotate in items that do not currently fit.
Digital displays will also be updated.

God’s Letter of Instruction
When we come to God and repent of
our sin
What matters the most, and keeps
Christ within
Is using His Word as our standard and
guide
Not forming our own rules by which
we’ll abide.
His Word tells us clearly that we
should obey
All that He shows us and daily to pray
To love those around us and draw
them to Him
To let our light shine in a world that’s
so dim.
His Word also states that His children
should go
To church every Sabbath like Jesus to
grow.
To worship and praise Him and
always to be.
Connected and caring, as God’s
family.
For without this family bond, we’d exist
As spiritual orphans with so much
that’s missed.
Encouragement, love and a listening ear
Fellowship sweet and friends that
bring cheer.

My ‘Tilt-Back’ Chair
I have a faithful friend
It’s my “Tilt-Back” chair
I spend a lot of time
Just “sittin’” there ...
Readin’-writin’-watchin’ T.V.
Sometimes entertaining company —
It’s where I brush my teeth
And comb my hair
I eat my breakfast, lunch
and dinner there —
and spend a lot of time
In silent prayer!
I watch it rain
I watch it snow
I watch the seasons
come and go
and sometimes, when I’m alone
I write a letter
or talk on the phone ...
I pay my bills
and take my pills
while sittin’ there...
I take many trips
down memory lane —
I’ve had many blessings
and my share of pain ...
I read the daily paper
for the latest news
work the crossword puzzle
and the cryptoquote too
I’m an armchair shopper
(can’t go shopping anymore)
And my catalog orders
are delivered to my door —
And when my “Time” comes
It seems only fair
That I meet my Master —
In my “Tilt-Back” chair!
Yes, I have a faithful friend —
It’s my “Tilt-Back” chair
And I spend a lot of time —
Just “sittin’” there.

My Valentine
It didn’t take candy or flowers
to bring the two of us together
We were there for each other
In sun or rainy weather —
I had what I had with him.
And he had what was mine.
So for fifty wonderful years
He was my only Valentine!

Massachusetts studies options
with Eastern Standard Time
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts
residents wouldn’t have to reset their
clocks during the darkest months of
the year under an idea being studied on
Beacon Hill.
On Wednesday, an 11-member commission will begin weighing the economic and health impacts of the state
remaining on Eastern Daylight Time
year-round.
Massachusetts stays on Eastern Daylight Time much of the year, but shifts
to Eastern Standard Time on the first
Sunday in November by setting clocks
back an hour. The state returns to Eastern
Daylight Time on the second Sunday of
March, when clocks jump ahead an hour.
Critics say the shift makes the days
seem even shorter, with the sun setting
before 5 p.m. during much of November,
December and January.
Supporters say ending the shift will
create darker mornings when students
are heading to school.
Fugitive toucan captured
in Southern California
YORBA LINDA, Calif. (AP) — A
toucan that became a local sensation
while living wild much of the year in
Southern California has finally been
captured.
The brightly colored female bird
named Fern was spotted Tuesday in the
rafters of a Yorba Linda auto repair shop.
A service adviser made calls to
animal experts including Omar’s Exotic
Birds, which dispatched an employee
who captured Fern.
The bird escaped in May from an
aviary in Courtney Chapman’s Fullerton
home after Fern and a male toucan were
delivered by a breeder.
Chapman tells The Orange County
Register she had been told the chances
of getting the toucan back were slim to
none.
Shortly after the escape, Chapman
joined a private social network app for
neighbors and soon photos of Fern spottings around town were being posted.
