That was a kid in the 1960s kids cities keep busy guy always had a dream of being the voice of the baseball team right here in his hometown. Well in February 2012 he finally got that call he got the call to come home and start broadcasting for the Kansas City Royals. And it wasn't just broadcasting for the royals. It was broadcasting for the royals at the right exact time right before the royals took off who won back to back American League championships and a World Series. Steve busy I was here he was along for the ride and all went item once it's led to many things including writing a brand new book called. The Walton Luke. Here's my conversation with one of the broadcasters for the royals Steve busy everybody talks about. My dream job my dream job my dream job here you are the tailored to your career living your dream job in getting that opportunity you think he has royals who was at daylight when you got that call Kevin you lakers want whoever one's life. You let it be via the events for the royals. It was amazing and I always remembered the conversation I had with Mike's Watson was from Kansas City and at. Work for different organizations Arizona San Diego Colorado. And I said what was it like for you coming home and he said. It's better than I thought would be and he was very excited and it has been better than I thought it would be because I was coming home not only to broadcast it to my loved growing up. But I was going to be closer to my sister to my mom was getting older. And my wife fell in love with the town as well she's always look Kansas City so it has been better than I thought it would be. Yet I think it's very unique because we all lie and say oh this might read that's my dream job right now doing what I love doing my dream job you can realistically sit there say. I'm doing my dream job when he broke as a kid watching baseball whether these days I would imagine when you were probably bury him in the first incarnation of the royals. They hear your exit in the hoo yeah absolutely palpable everyday. Like it would exit this. I'll look down and see young. Young boy in the stands out about me that was me. Or municipal stadium downtown Kansas City because I used to go to these days you to use the royals games. And they were gone for one year older than 1968 season but for young baseball fan. It just kills me when these days left Oakland. And when I heard that Kansas City Royals were them on in 1959. Like entries via script miniature brought it. But I cut out all of the little. Profiles that were doing on the new royals in the expansion draft night followed that team religiously told Matthews. That you were the reason gutsy minuses in junior high school because. I listened to every single broadcaster that night pizza tonight season. At the transistor radio the wire. Your. That's cool man. I struggle obviously academic. You're but I knew every single oil choke you to know that you YouTube think at that time you're listening to any and that's what you're gonna do like you're gonna actually be behind the likes of me calling these games maybe not royals game it is baseball in general. No because as a young person yours thank you could be the athlete now you're going to be the best you can read Nate tiny Archibald but the chance of -- talking you can be Otis Taylor. Worthy of Kansas City Chiefs or you're going to be the next loop now war. Later George Brett of the Kansas City well I found it Byrd early I was mediocre athlete. And then when I got cancer Steve actually struggled my first semester was an academic probation. And then took a year off and work. And something happened walks back to Kansas City working as a busboy top ground restaurant and I said. You're not a good athlete which you loved sports you love talking about it much ticket class so went back to Kansas State took class and I do remember. The first broadcast ever did was so lucky high school and Wakefield you know. Assembly team. And I'm leaving the broadcast with my hands were shaking. And shaking not because it was breaking. There shaking because I do what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and I've been doing it ever since it's amazing when you have that if they might I think was eight years old what's the giants it was in the John Madden had several ultimate fight clearly never play so I've I've in the Booth -- able whatever was like a I I you have those moments you can remember what you decided this is it this way I want it do for a living and I don't of everybody has those moments but I think it if you. If you've been thinking about something maybe your whole life you probably do remember that moment. This was absolutely and I was very fortunate have a great professor Kent State popular. Who encouraged me now. To my credit. I've volunteered for every. Fair and I was a sports record period Steve via them and to state university tonight whistles are shooting film of the football basketball games and every child an opportunity came up a raise my hand. Even when it was to be political reporter for the presidential campaign in 1970s. For. Anyway. I just said the more experience I've yet to be in front camera do it does matter where other sports that news just get the experience. And Bob fiddler and purge me gave me every single opportunity Kansas State not allowed me to get my first job Hastings would help. From the great red white yeah in its accidentally mix asking them differently if they get the accurate differently now he truly helped because Fred became obviously legend in this town as well what do Wales will negate the big twelve and everything in between. You guys had that relationship that actually helps you probably get better jobs after that first. He was. Like a father figure and he never took credit for but I do remember him telling me. When he did the varsity games for Kansas State University football basketball IQB junior varsity games and on his drive and he would listen ago. This this. Kitty tasty bees have them it's not too bad there and so we became friends through that experience. And then apparently found out my enthusiasm my passion might work ethic. Through Bob fiddler. And tonight I believe he he he never told me he had never told me. Whether he made the phone call to KH KS and he seems to rescue because that's where Fred white started my hero and I wanted to start there. As well and which you know I got that job and two years later I got the job at WWW because a fair way he would. Called mead said hey I've given them your take. They're interested. And they were. Sarah and to produce moments like got that job and you can cancers as well yeah but when you're doing when you sit there it's PP Kansas doing you know K state game to do everything case they would get to the level that it's that right now with football being turned around a basketball moving in the right direction and all that mean at that point in time obviously basketball's pretty good. But football is nothing to speak up and K state was really nothing to speak of until Bill Snyder arrived on this there. I think he is one of the greatest. Coach of all time to do what he's got cancer state because this is a school that's very difficult. To recruit high level inner city talent you're in the middle of nowhere in Manhattan yet I loved I loved the experience there. But to recruit top talent. It's impossible he's doing with no store and one story athletes because he gets. Young people who buy into the team philosophy and that's the only way Kansas State can win they can't get the stores they never well. And that's why I enjoy watching his teams play and when I've had a chance to talk with him. We've had wonderful conversations but not always about football a lot of times it was about. Collecting baseball cards did you know Bill Snyder was a huge baseball collector and NGOs are oh he used trade his ball cards. And he would also receive it's no money. When he was growing up and St. Joe Missouri and he also saved his money from delivering newspapers would. Who got to be five and dime store. And and by baseball cards I did a couple of college football games at Kansas State. And we had more discussions about baseball card collection and we do about the football he's delightful guy but it also guy. With great conviction great self discipline. And demands that from his coaches and his team and that's what we've been so successful what's the best baseball card that yes. I don't know what best for you which here. I have. Many you know obviously beat George Brett cards had back in the seventies but I have to share something refute it is very embarrassing and I've collected ball cards from. From the 1950s. All the way through the 1960s when I was struggling so badly academically. My dad grip cards. Read through every single day and he either hit them or threw it threw them out. I must have 50000 dollars worth of cards were talking like. Ted Williams Willie Mays Willie McCovey all of the greats from that area were thrown out because. Knucklehead here would discipline himself to study. Mathematics. And and English etc. and I was struggling in school but boy I knew my sports why why do parents do that because my mother always said I'm not gonna be that mother who throws up the baseball cards fact I'm gonna be the mother that goes above and be we had Mickey Mantle cards I have the almost the entire 1960 New York Yankees team as a kid growing up that I was able to collect and put together. You remember those kinds of cart II know their grandmother's house now somewhere she won't tell me where they are probably get a middle I'll offer it up what thoughts that done. But she was always going to be a mother that wasn't around those baseball card because of those are stories like that you know you know. I didn't give my way. Folks that many opportunities to believe me my mom did I was not a good student to a got to Kent State University that's right was able to get a good deeds was because I found. My passion. But that's that I asked my mom one time later viper said why did you believe view when no one else would she said because you like to read. And because you like to read you like to learn. And I used to read all the time and it wasn't just baseball book because I read every media guide but it was sometimes the classics I think the first. Adult book that I read. What is northwest passage by Kenneth Roberts and I was in the fifth sixth grade when I read it I just thought it was a fascinating story. And I think should to this day that's why I enjoy. Broadcasting. Baseball football basketball because it is part of the story telling the life why were you such a bad state. I was. Incredibly interested in the things are passionate about the things that interest to me sports interest. The Kansas City Chiefs interest to me. They were dynamic team at the time but Lynne Dawson Mike Garrett Otis Taylor frankness that. Jim Lynch Willie Lanier buck Buchanan and I can name every in the same things to with the Kansas City Royals with that team and I could see the development the growth. And obviously when Brett Craig heiress scheming you do this was. Misty was going to be special and as a young person you want to be part of that enthusiasm so I would throw myself into those kinds of things and study them. Unfortunately I was behind in arithmetic and English and other. I think today ability if you of that type of kid they would find something for you to do in school to kind of accentuate those words mean a thing now look at what my kids are doing in his first and second grade there's a lot of obviously basic stuff that you have focused on. But I think education is change the lives there over the last thirty years you can steer people. That stuff because there is such a career now at schools I don't believe it's the school. I believe it's the teacher teacher can have a tremendous influence on view in sixth grade I remember mr. marksman. Who or what was an incredible teacher I thought. And he's the one who encouraged me to read he goes god who got a sixth graders reading Kenneth Roberts Aaron bell rabble in arms northwest passage but he eventually. And so he really encouraged me inspired me he knew that I have a love of history. So he and to this day I remember mr. mark. And then of course when it got too much on machines nor the receive teacher named Caroline Jeter. She was an English teacher and she was two time teacher of the year and stated chances and she. Would not let you off before. And she said Steve your good writer what you don't know how to write. And so she would give me the follow ups okay you wrote this do it again and this is why it's not correct. And I would have to do it over and over and over and finally got to see plus in the class but to this day. Our family has this incredible friendship with Carol Lee Jeter my mom went to school and said. All he. They're all five kids must have curly Q she fought to have Caroline Jeter and then of course we told you about Bob Butler Kansas State shirts or I don't think it's a school. It's the teacher. And I think we have to do a greater job. In America in our states to encourage teaching I think. That's the future for our children is in public education we need to really fight for that. Yeah it's it's funny you mention that it which teacher of the impact that you're not going through my mind and I remember all of my teachers names I don't remember one having it truthful impact on me. And and I think he came in high schools from teacher hated algebra I miss Clark and she's in her twenty's and I I could do you know and like I am gonna sing one plus one as an analyst where I don't know if you do batting average in the RA I could yeah absolutely I figure all of that right and I remember her always telling me I'm not gonna spoon feed you might have a spooky and I would resent like you know you're not it's still it'd probably be you know. If she would do with him populace who beat you figured out figured out. And here I am 41 remembering back to those days of you know algebra one as a freshman in high school. Because she was in a spoon feed me. And I now use that with my kids have not figured out you can figure out and you can I think appreciate so much fearing it out of yourself sensitive to stolen there and have somebody do port. You're right and I do believe. I was part of the era vet wanted to help my children yet and that's not good my love my kids both of them are college graduates but there were times. When I was I remember my daughter thirteen years old. And I travel obviously so I love my family wanna be with them as often as possible particular chemical on them for knocking on her door. And saying hey Brian what do homered and you're sitting out most of whom were together over the age of thirteen girls or any. Teenage begets separate and knocked on the door to it right you want to do homework and she goes Jewish wanna do my homework which slammed the dormant phase one. What is it about what's right and optimism to organize it like I don't wanna do your homework. I just wanna hang out you. So you could in the future just let your dad download easy to say no dad wanted to run homer by myself. So sure enough. I go often road trip. Moderates on the California and I come back animal says it forgot of that conversation run upstairs and inventory. Think anyone who homered which goes. No dad but thanks for asking and then close the door right MySpace. Not enough so I know the better it. But you're right I I think a lot of parents. We have to work so much I was working several jobs football basketball baseball yeah it would your home. You wanna spend time with them sometimes it is picking up the arithmetic book and helping them with their homework. You know you you I think Abby unique experience from a parenting standpoint and and it if you want us edit this out we can edit this out. You adopt that your children I mean so it to have that type of relationship with your kids. That you know that you went out adopted I think it's spectacular in and of itself how did you formed that bond with the kids when you adopted them and not have them on hero. It was very easy. My wife. At seven miscarriages lost he behaves and and it was incredibly devastating but. When we adopted Bryant. It was such. For lack of a better. Explanation. Such as spiritual. Organic. Perfect natural experience. That. I film obviously this was my child and it's not like you get nine months to get ready for. In our case we were in Cincinnati Ohio. It and we wrote outline. Why we think we would be good parents. And then the lawyer gives it to prospective clients young ladies and they choose you. Well my wife's. Resonate Stephen Stacy his Villa was so. Incredibly inspiring. That Bob you had your wife would give that your children. Because it was unbelievable we got a call back and within a month he still interested in more cares if I gotta set an eight year old how epic trek back now. But to that the great figures and how it all worked out was we had a group choose us. And she was thirteen years old house now. Well here's the funny thing. And he calls me one week before the schools to deliver we're waiting for our baby. And he says Steve. One treatment situation there's young girl. Who just liver issues very good student at fort Thomas high school. But she got pregnant. And you decide if her baby adoption with the adoption. Fell through she was supposed to give the baby I was doing via video legal work. In North Carolina two states Kentucky and North Carolina don't support rates of adoption go through a one note you Stacy. Would like this child and we haven't removed waiting for us and we just thought. It was one of those god moments so we said yes and that was Ryan. And interestingly the girl. Who's maybe we were waiting for she decided to keep. While we would have gotten that child anyway so. That's Ryan who is now 31 years old marriages you missed three incredible grandchildren and I love Ryan from the moment I saw her. And win that took place my wife still wanted to have children. So got pregnant mr. written this scary and the last one was devastating in our number. Tom called and our adoption lawyer saying. My wife of David and she needs I'm here to poppy. And the miracle and that was heated note but he called me in December 28 to say growth has selected view. For their child number 28 it's my birthday all while it's still the greatest birthday present ever receive that. That would be kept it you know it was born march 1. 1989 he's now 29 years old ladies masters degree it sentences which states that we have been blessed with. Two incredible children and I think if your. Your whores. Open you get to trial soul that's supposed to come view anyway. I think that's that's an awesome story in and you gotta think as a parent it's hard not to raise your own trying to raise what is truly somebody else's but you're bringing them in on your own I mean it has to be very difficult husband wife that you think you know what. Blood is overrated. I chose to race. Greatest runner ever. She's problem related to me right. And yet we if you you know states we have this incredible. Love affair there. 34 years it's really quite sickening I'll be honest with you and Uggla I think it's more awareness gap. The easiest thing ever gotten married Stacy part mr. it's raising children. But my wife is you better optimistic positive. Job. She's passionate passionate about oh about yoga about goodness. Passionate about first here are very. She felt passionate about and when you fights like that. And given are trying to do it would stoop. If you get you got yourself a bit like it's it's a perfect match it really is it's like illness all are placing your it's your sister almost ghostly gigs. I think it's an awareness to anyway. Mention fantastic again. And and I think it's just being here idols thing going through trials and tribulations. Going. Right biological children. And not having success there and then finding those consoles were supposed to come anyway. And what that life is about ups and downs we've had some challenges that lecture recruit a little bit I don't like going to a bit dramatic. Richard of course on. But he gave us a hard time he had to local option. He is now the articles on once was lost hours and just incredibly young man I'm so proud of him. We're going to repression is going into wants to one water conservation. And help save the planet. And I'm inspired by and also inspired by. His strength to get through what you went through you you mentioned the ups and downs with your son in the you don't have to get in detail but but how how did you handle all. Patty how do you handle that as a pair when your son is going through something your daughter's going through something so difficult. And you're watching this happen and you wanna be a dad and you want to fix it you wanna change. How do you do that. Unconditional love I mean that's the thing. My teacher Jesus spoke about off. About unconditional love that regardless of what they're doing that doesn't mean you have to invite them in your life. There were times where we had how's that indeed. But there were rules and regulations that he had that line. To live with a us and once he is here to those rules because of that and it's much like the prodigal son story. Who once was lost. Hours round but I think he had to go to the depths and win on pain suffering. Became too difficult. And we when he became sick and tired of being sick and tired that's when he found himself and I've always felt that there was this incredible. Spirit in him. And spiritual. Growth. An awakening in him. Word now realizing he's now realize. How how do you get to that point the team to say you're no longer welcome here to your kids how does that how do you how do you view that as a pair. That was extremely typical. But we had to do it we had to do. Stay firm and fast my wife and I. We knew. These the truth about him. We do he was its team for fifteen years visas incredibly young men leaders street they skewed capital sports teams. Passionate. And then he went to the dark side why. We. We told them love them always and then. When he got. To. That awareness of himself. That he would be welcome in our homes and job. He has Crohn's Disease and and the Crohn's Disease went from prone to depression to. Oh yeah. It would dark now but I do remember the two of us driving. I drove with him to California to get back into college. And he told me glad I have Crohn's Disease. It's it's horrible disease it's been debilitating do you think goes. Because of it didn't happen I might still be doing the things that you speak. With Crohn's Disease told me you can't do. And it's it's been incredibly sure you remember the moment when he said I'm ready to come home. Of the remaining U we've really user admin. You know it's been it's it's never. That you see it's much like life like who's up and down so that's why I'm not a person believes that. God you should problems I believe life is like. Why in each challenge each there's less. It closer to. Might he. Some might lose it or others might be Jewish faith for me it's like Christian faith. There are many paths and I. Arson traveled many paths to get back to word used but he's good you know.

Whiskey soaked in wood fire accuse prime rib. Join us at one of the three red door relocations we would have broke cited over the park or order online at red door Grail dot com all right. Let's talk about your career that more I think the most fascinating thing about your query you make to hold we disagree with me. You work Jerry Springer I mean like like you're on TV do in sports appears Jerry Springer in the old mayor of Cincinnati do whatever and as he was doing on the news that night. Did you ever think you'd get to the point where people are chanting G airy fairy and this guy became a national phenomenon dealing with the dregs of society on television. He's one of the smartest and funniest people I have ever met. Now it did he choose. I'd necessarily agree to agree with the I I think it is you know what degree temperature but that's the to the path chose and which are framed portrait. In it yes it was. And I still respect him I think he's honorable man in and I'm talking about the principles. And causes that he has that itself would. And he he's a man noticed that obviously for years. In Cincinnati. And I note goodness inside yours I've seen it seemed charitable work that guns or I do believe. Music good man but there have been so many. Good people. Coming in my life. Do you ever think you'll end up on his show report. I think it be fantastic Gary's been busy out of them stricker today but you you get a lot of meaning in your limited time at Cincinnati had the opportunity to work with a Nationalists phenomenon now not obviously then but also being their for Pete Rose. You know record breaking hit I was watching some of these old videos and here's Steve busy I look at like at you know five year old out there on the field so young. Interviewing Pete Rose the day he's gonna break this record to get into the record books. You covered world championship teams before you've been around a lot of big time events. That had to be liked his incredible would be there to see that moment happened in baseball. It was and still was great memory and it remembered because in Iraq my life on. And why you get married during baseball any ways of baseball and answer is one of the great questions I think he is because family members could be there in October after the season. But my wife about it. We get married in September 7. And I had asked Pete Rose when he was in it it just in humorous question right when you get to get it was in May may have to 1985. August 23 August 23 and come up with a figure well boy playing against right handers now and figure it between 26265. He was very good with numbers you think your right here. You know so we said with conviction so August when there ago sleeping September 7 NC. So I actually have the space votes that it is on it. Stacey will you marry me the other sentences but not until like is it the greatest thing about Pete Rose when he decided. He dispelled. Until he's filled eyes and dashed via mail and I love that about. But graceful. Exit when he went September 7 bombs. He. He ties the record on September they actually do the cubs reds game on Saturday July Saint Louis or. Personal bitter that you buried its seventh he gets it at September. They. Flight back to Cincinnati. And it won't be going on and actually gets it. On Monday he goes over war on Tuesday. Lefties pitching through this and play and on Wednesday September 11 it's been hit he got his hit on September 11 before 9/11. That's nice element to me they Pete Rose broke type jobs that record so then we were it would go but I do remember being in the Booth with my wife. And look back here and went celebrations taking place nice. Aren't you glad we stage. You know it's it's a great story we go about. Our wedding married and knows the story of right now 34 year friendship which we've grown so dude did you know at that time that he was gambling and doing all this kind of stuff yes. Really I didn't always doing it on baseball but we remember we could have computers back again. But he would call me at the television stations like every Thursday because college basketball teams play Thursday Saturday. And say. It is post Louisiana Tech and Virginia commonwealth when. A bit but he does big money big money answered well good but it could go. Virginia commonwealth of free with four minutes ago so. You know. So it would be those kinds of conversations going note sold like this is in the offseason where he's making so I don't view or he would go to Tokyo racetrack and a friend of mine tell me you've gone 5000 dollar ticket service being. You know but other athletes were betting on. Horses. Or. You know. College basketball. Not a baseball yeah and that's where you've got himself in trouble. So we with Pete Rose getting that hit you being there and seeing all that happened and face it your face did you ever think like. What would I ever have a moment bigger than this at this stage of my career you know like your spirits up so great so young in your personal early having your career to everything he could top that yes he did it. And you have to. You know when it is when you watch children play. I remember rushing home. From a Arizona State basketball game paying a student driving the airports and before nine elevenths that you could run run to your game. Barely made the flight Mike's on his eight years old he's playing and he. You know. Machine pitch championship game and they had a really good team. I get back just in time before he begins talks on its three home runs two doubles. Drives in eleven runs their leading 2322. Of bases are loaded vehicles and left handers out there. My son is over first base this kid rips up screaming line drive my son lays out makes this unbelievable catch penalties if your kids pile on top of them. And I look over my wife miss so that flight that moment there's much more important to me and Pete roses hit. For the time when the angels were clinching but I see me flinch before I was in during the game because restricted by the national broadcast. And I was given permission to go home because my daughter was in was the lead in the school play. So I ran home and that meant so much to my daughter so those moments are waiting greater then. Championships now the greatest moments in its sports is the fifteenth world trip here to seed Kansas City Royals. The way they won. We could team philosophy. The love of each other I mean how many times to receive team that finishes last in home runs of last walked the world championship there's only one way to. That there is it an esprit de corps. That was on net 1415 team and it was a joy to watch it as a broadcaster. What we were so close you know concede quote it's you know an airplane that group for young man how much they care for each other. And they knew I think collectively it's up punches and they knew we could do this alone. We had to do it. Together. What was your for your favorite like untold stories from that brought or as a from might be behind the scenes take us behind the curtain on the plane or in the clubhouse or something like that being witnessed and and you like that I love this story and I haven't shared. I have shared this several times but out here again because I was the sideline reporter for TBS during the national game. Baltimore Orioles and I which we work and I was. And right next we're ducking out so what concede that unity in the team and Jason Gore was pitching that it was the final game of the Ailes yes. And let him over with a hitter was but he had this tremendous shot to left field you remember the play and Alex Gordon. Nixon's catch and slams and the bullpen defense base first. And crashed down and it. We dug out erupts in joy and they're all waiting for an it was the last seven innings and Alex comes in got a big smile on please. And they just swarmed him enough. Part of the scene and I can watch it and Jason Gore it's just been waiting outside and he's not part of the the march. And final big guys get off Alex it's a spectacular match. And Jason been reached for men hugged him and then they separate and out walks two steps away. Turned to looked back Jason in my direction he goes. I got. And that's what they did they each had each other's. Outward from the rest of needs ruins of the had my post offices Mike who's in office or else it just wore tacitly at risk risk of possible. The starting rotation had this selflessness. That all they cared about somehow somehow. Pitched well enough. Mohandas unbelievable and tied in with lead and they believe that we. And I just thought it was a great. Demonstration of unity but that moment when Alex and routes I got your. That commitment of 1415 success yeah. And it really was that way and in Natalie turn around organization but we always talk about the way turn around Kansas City generally in you've been with the reds have it at the angels and obviously the royals now and so many other different things. Have you received a team have an impact and effect of a city like that royals team being fourteen and fifteen. No I really and maybe it's because all they went through. And I thought that was. One of the great moments because they suffered for thirty years yet they didn't win a world championship. They had gone through the dark times. And I do remember asking chip Montgomery said. We did it go bad. And when you go. Exit went bad when you would offer apps and exhibit of this. Basically corporation. That made the decision means that it really wasn't bill. David Glass was it was takeover and said it would turn which when he hired me. And being more and plan. Stay within and the glass and we have the conviction and the discipline to stay with them and even when he was being questioned but he remember I think you've said. It'll take eight years and you start the bottom he would do. Develop our minor league system he would do. Building new facilities in the Dominican Republic. But. Dayton as a man of tremendous. Faith. And also conviction I believe you're not gonna win championships. Without good. Yeah you've got to have good athlete certainly certainly agree that it's. But they had good people. Rex toddlers and interesting cat you've been with him for very long time like a brother you write what you say and and obviously the broadcast with. Him and Ryan and him and you I think you're completely different Bryant's family the father figure and your panel like the brother figure direct subtler. How did you guys develop the relationship that you have because together the two view in the Booth seem like your happen in the timing your life. This will remember our friendship goes back to when he was player. And my first year with the angels in 1996. That was wrapped up next year and team's miserable but you can always count on Rex. Rex would be the guide so I communities. Wrecked would be the guy they would cast to the public appearances he was always have a good mood and his mom taught him. The fountain nodded range in disguise it flawed but well well enough on the plaza they got nothing compared to Rex Butler. But I've seen him. Through. The great times when he had his best season hitting over 360. Moment so much here. And balls in difficult times when his first son. And he did know. It and me. We did joy that he brought when he came in the world because he has Jennifer boat so honest with what took place. When they discovered. Peppers on touchdowns. And the pain and the anger. That he's well he's very honest about it. But also. That the beauty came through and I'll always remember that story that he probably told you about your map. She was it's frustrating thing. And he would return phone calls for the first three days after. Kate had Johnson. And he goes again. And he said. All of his friends JT snow and Jimmy Edmonds had him. Chuck Finley and mark links to roll Utley who call you want to know. Tell us about your new baby. And he's on it. He goes down and you know you could hear it from one it's and they ought to know what to say empathy and went back to work. And he says I got on the treadmill. And starting job then right next to him that it's different and it's we don't know Jim maverick. In my opinion is is it truly. Was 11 hand he became an all American mission and what he's running that direct and nieces. He waits for a moment there. Let's Rex does anything and then he says you know when my folks got mired in eighteen years old. And when they were 191. Made. And he came out and he'll one hand but he did just. And it was one of those ha ha moments Rex truly took that into his part said we are gonna make this experience. Tremendous levee expert and believe wrecked it is. Man he Jennifer. Tremendously and they believe that this was a U. And it's because the port of these doubts that. Community me ice help dramatically so no one to do the same thing in Kansas City as well they're good people. Lovely community you whales and assess it earlier wrecks now. It is an explosion that he has many times but but he's he's a good person and really cares. When you're giving his eulogy as you will what does the what what is the one story that you're gonna share with everybody about other than everybody needs to know about him. I think that really yes because I do know. How they fought out there are legal. There are certain legal things that states must adhere to for the disabled community. But in my shoe fight for them they're not going to get them to. Then I saw so many individuals. Single. Mother. We've been down child. Who is from Mexico didn't speak the language but she served herself. Well Rex Jennifer help those kinds of people because they had to fight for caved in their school system. And so it's that it's that moment rip. Jim Everett it's that moment that Rex is on your experience with many families who are. Who shared the same experience. Where their child they've discovered either this whole. It out war and suffering and he's going through it hurt. When now he's 21 years old and he news. A man of incredible. Talents. Mr. You used its future on and he has nothing but on condition while. Rex Jennifer nurtured that. Children two and their children are the healthiest and wealthiest people and I think they are that way because of me. So announcing father. Mentor slash baby sitter and cutlery and all of that go on time. And you're still like writing a book and he became an author of the walls of Luka and it's mightily out after what 27 years of trying to work out as well right.

I pick I don't wanna tell you all about but it. It's about young man in the southern ute tribe and state Colorado itself. And it's two ships. One of them. It is. Is incredible athlete and great pitcher and have always been fascinated. About pitching. Young guys in does it matter if it's Jason Campbell today. Or Roger Clemens does matter with the pitchers. He's on the mound and he's alone. And he's in crisis. It's all these thousands of people screaming. And he has to be able to execute. High velocity. Locate with movement and walk all these distractions. Well by. Attacked as a ability to. Focus. Much like Greg Maddux. He has total understanding. It. It deals with if one to you that.

It's my wife is. Health and nutrition so right yoga instructors who we've got to do you know about 22 years ago. And I just like the traditional style I do like via the rest work. It's really interesting when I talked to coaches placed of this conversation John Walker Watson was an average coach for a number of years. And when eyes I'd say what you what you see what's going weather team they're not reading well. That's what we do successfully what is the reason alone now and pitching is about for a hitting it's for a it's. The great ones have that ability to do it. I used to just be amazed if Michael Jordan or. LeBron James stuff Mercury. Why one person's real good free throw you the last funds in game one person is not war. A picture wise the ninth inning so difficult. And he did not just facing. It is a league hitters he faced 789 in the night as opposed the 345456.

Forever Colin Davis baseball there's so it's it's in sports that you like that too many times we in the media. Identified or book that selfishness. Or ego. When he practices selflessness that goes on to support them always. Which inspired me and and has been the common denominator and every championship I've. Or are you one of these guys who wants to leave on his own terms or be carried out of the Booth. You know what I don't even look like that way because. In all of my experience when I got lit go from the angels in 2009. I remember calling my wife first and then I called my age. And obviously hostess point because I really enjoyed it. Two in humans. With this organization for a long time. But my wife but you did or she goes what whom would pitchers have had for us. And then one week later she goes that you write this book for three years.

Biden awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom by Obama in surprise ceremony
Vice President Joe Biden was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a surprise ceremony led by President Barack Obama on Jan. 12, 2017. Photo Credit: Getty Images / Pool - Olivier Douliery
By Lauren Cook lauren.cook@amny.com Updated January 12, 2017 6:41 PM
President Barack Obama surprised his "brother," Vice President Joe Biden, on Thursday by awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction -- an honor only given to three other people in the last three presidencies.
Speaking during a ceremony at the White House, Obama said he wanted to bring people together to "pay tribute" to Biden, "someone who has dedicated his entire professional life to service."
While Biden knew of a planned send-off for senior staffers, he did not know the gathering was actually for him or that he was about to be presented with the nation's highest civilian honor.
SEE PHOTOS Obama and Biden are everyone's #friendshipgoals
"This is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary career," Obama said of Biden as he began to read off a laundry list of achievements since first being elected to public office at 29.
"For the past eight years, he could not have been a more devoted or effective partner in the progress that we've made," Obama added.
The mutual respect and admiration between Obama and Biden is no secret; Obama even joked about their great American bromance Thursday, but the president was sincere in his appreciation for having Biden by his side for the past eight years.
"Your candid, honest counsel has made me a better president," Obama said.
Characterizing Biden as a "resilient and loyal civil servant," Obama then awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- a move that visibly stunned the vice president -- for his lifetime of service on behalf of the nation.
"I had no inkling," Biden, 74, said after receiving the medal.
"I knew how smart you were; I knew how honorable you were; I knew how decent you were from the couple years we worked in the Senate; and I knew what you were capable of. But I never fully expected that you'd occupy the Bidens' heart…all of us," the vice president said, choking back tears. "Mr. President I'm indebted to you. I'm indebted to your friendship. I'm indebted to your family."
It will be the last such award that Obama gives before he and Biden leave office on Jan. 20.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction -- a special version of the medal -- has only been given to three other people: President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II and Gen. Colin Powell, according to published reports.

Four Minute Men: Volunteer Speeches During World War I
During World War I, the United States fought a war of ideas with unprecedented ingenuity and organization. President Woodrow Wilson established the Committee on Public Information (CPI) to manage news and solicit widespread support for the war at home and abroad. Under the energetic direction of Mississippi newspaper editor George Creel, the CPI churned out national propaganda through diverse media. Creel organized the "Four Minute Men," a virtual army of volunteers who gave brief speeches wherever they could get an audience—in movie theaters, churches, synagogues, and labor union, lodge, and grange halls. Creel claimed that his 75,000 amateur orators had delivered over 7.5 million speeches to more than 314 million people. CPI publications from the Four Minute Man crusade offered tips on developing and delivering a brief, effective speech—the predecessor to today's "sound bite." They also recognized diverse audiences, with reports of Yiddish speakers in theaters and workplaces, a Sioux Four Minute Man, and a speech called "The Meaning of America" delivered in seven languages.
General Suggestions to Speakers
The speech must not be longer than four minutes, which means there is no time for a single wasted word.
Speakers should go over their speech time and time again until the ideas are firmly fixed in their mind and can not be forgotten. This does not mean that the speech needs to be written out and committed [memorized], although most speakers, especially when limited in time, do best to commit.
Divide your speech carefully into certain divisions, say 15 seconds for final appeal; 45 seconds to describe the bond; 15 seconds for opening words, etc., etc. Any plan is better than none, and it can be amended every day in the light of experience.
There never was a speech yet that couldn't be improved. Never be satisfied with success. Aim to be more successful, and still more successful. So keep your eyes open. Read all the papers every day, to find a new slogan, or a new phraseology, or a new idea to replace something you have in your speech. For instance, the editorial page of the Chicago Herald of May 19 is crammed full of good ideas and phrases. Most of the article is a little above the average audience, but if the ideas are good, you should plan carefully to bring them into the experience of your auditors. There is one sentence which says, "No country was ever saved by the other fellow; it must be done by you, by a hundred million yous, or it will not be done at all." Or again, Secretary [William] McAdoo says, "Every dollar invested in the Liberty Loan is a real blow for liberty, a blow against the militaristic system which would strangle the freedom of the world," and so on. Both the Tribune and the Examiner, besides the Herald, contain President [Woodrow] Wilson's address to the nation in connection with the draft registration. The latter part is very suggestive and can be used effectively. Try slogans like "Earn the right to say, I helped to win the war," and "This is a Loyalty Bond as well as a Liberty Bond," or "A cause that is worth living for is worth dying for, and a cause that is worth dying for is worth fighting for." Conceive of your speech as a mosaic made up of five or six hundred words, each one of which has its function.
Get your friends to criticize you pitilessly. We all want to do our best and naturally like to be praised, but there is nothing so dangerous as "josh" and "jolly." Let your friends know that you want ruthless criticism. If their criticism isn't sound, you can reject it. If it is sound, wouldn't you be foolish to reject it?
Be sure to prepare very carefully your closing appeal, whatever it may be, so that you may not leave your speech hanging in the air.
Don't yield to the inspiration of the moment, or to applause to depart from your speech outline. This does not mean that you may not add a word or two, but remember that one can speak only 130, or 140, or 150 words a minute, and if your speech has been carefully prepared to fill four minutes, you can not add anything to your speech without taking away something of serious importance.
Cut out "Doing your bit." "Business as usual." "Your country needs you." They are flat and no longer have any force or meaning.
Time yourself in advance on every paragraph and remember you are likely to speak somewhat more slowly in public than when you practice in your own room.
There are several good ideas and statements in the printed speech recently sent you. Look it up at once.
If you come across a new slogan, or a new argument, or a new story, or a new illustration, don't fail to send it to the Committee. We need your help to make the Four-Minute Men the mightiest force for arousing patriotism in the United States. Committee on Public Information,

Yiddish-Speaking Four Minute Men Reach Jewish Section of New York
Organized Under Rabbi Robinson to Carry Government Messages Into
Jewish Theaters and Playhouses
Now Planning to Send Yiddish Speakers Into Shops
Where Jewish People Are Largely Employed
The New York City division of Four Minute Men carry on very effective work among the large Jewish population of that city.
Mr. Joseph B. Thomas, former local chairman of Four Minute Men in New York City, writes as follows:
"The work is organized under the direction of Rabbi A. G. Robinson, executive director of the Young Men's Hebrew Association.
"At the present time the Jewish section is operating in 30 theaters, sending speakers to each twice a week. Among these are all the large Jewish playhouses of the city, each one of which has an average attendance of 2,000 at a performance. In this way we are reaching about 25,000 people per week. We expect soon to have every Jewish audience in a motion-picture house or a Jewish playhouse addressed by a Jewish playhouse addressed by a Jewish speaker. Both Yiddish and English are used in accordance with the character of the audience.
"The directors of several Young Men's Hebrew Associations in Greater New York are enlisted as 'Four Minute Speakers,' and also address their members occasionally on the subjects assigned from Washington.
"We are now planning to send Yiddish speakers into the various shops of the city where Jewish help is most largely employed. We are also arranging to reach the thousand or more synagogues of the city where Yiddish is best understood."
The speakers are introduced in the motion-picture theaters by slides bearing the usual announcement, printed in Yiddish; similar to the actual example shown above.
Lieutenant Lester Collier Acting as Four-Minute Man.
Lieut. Lester Collier, who recently returned from service in France with the Seventh Section, Twenty-first Division, French Ambulance Corps, is acting as a Four-Minute Man at Little Rock, Ark. He saw action at Verdun, at Soissons, and in the drive on Laon. In theaters, schools, and club meetings he tells of his experiences with "The Lucky Seventh," as his section was called.
Lieut. Collier often drove his ambulance over roads under fire from the Germans, and tells of one occasion when a recruit assigned to his machine was killed at his side by a flying piece of shell which exploded a few feet ahead of them.
Meaning of America in Seven Languages
Hartford, Conn., Four Minute Men during the July 4 patriotic exercises addressed various national groups in their own languages.
There was an address in Italian by Michelo Riccio, Italian consul; in Polish by Rev. Stanislau Musiel; in Lithuanian by Rev. John J. Ambot; in Magyar-Hungarian by Rev. Peter Dolin; in Russian by Rev. Constantin Bukstoff; in Ukrainian by Rev. Theodore Helanda and Rev. Romen Zalitsch; in Armenian by Prof. Armidos Ananakian and Mr. Partovan; and in Bohemian-Slovak by William Shultz.
"The Meaning of America" was the subject of the various addresses, and the taking out of naturalization papers was the action urged upon the crowds.
Exponent of Violence not a Four Minute Man
A newspaper in Pennsylvania recently ran an item concerning an alleged Four Minute Man who said in a speech at a moving-picture house that the people of his town were "determined to wipe out seditious talk among pro-Germans here even if it requires tar and feathers and a stout rope in the hands of a necktie party." The speaker then went on to mention the names of several citizens of the town whom he accused of being "slackers in the purchase of war stamps and also disloyal to their adopted country in uttering seditious remarks." An investigation was immediately instigated by headquarters, and we were glad to find the speaker was not a Four Minute Man but had been so styled simply through the ignorance of a newspaper reporter who had not inquired concerning the speaker's credentials. This disclosure rendered it unnecessary to demand the immediate dismissal of this individual from our ranks; but his inflammatory statements did not go entirely unpunished. Our chairman for that community informs us that one result of his speech was that he was soundly trounced by two sons of one of the men whose name he mentioned, which may have had a subduing effect.
Full-Blooded Sioux Acts as Four Minute Man
Dupree, S. Dak., has a full-blooded Sioux Indian, Thomas J. Rouillaurd, acting as a Four Minute Man, largely among people of his own race.
In accepting the appointment, Mr. Rouillaurd said:
"I think the Indians are doing their best for the country, but more could be done if they understood more fully what this war means to us. I have already made a few talks to them on the Red Cross, Liberty Loan, and the cause for which we fight, but with your appointment and help, I shall do my very best to encourage them to do more than ever before. The bulletins you sent are very interesting to read and to study."
Governor Endorses Organization
"I feel that the work organized under the name of the Four Minute Men has been of very great service indeed in spreading public information and in quickening the war spirit of our people. I hope that any man who has the ability to speak and is asked for that service as a Four Minute Man, will count it a great privilege and feel that in so doing he is helping in a very direct and important way toward winning the war."—Governor [Carl E.] Milliken, of Maine.
Committee on Public Information, Four Minute Men Bulletin 1, May 22, 1917
I am the man who speaks throughout the length and breadth of our country.
I look east out past the Statue of Liberty toward the flaming battle line.
The sun sets in the Pacific as I work along our western shores.
The Southland hears my call, Canada knows I am her friend.
I am in the War Department, the Treasury, the cantonments, factories, and shipyards, in the busy city office, and in the country store beside the cracker barrel.
I am on active duty every evening.
I see the city's dazzling lights and the country's twinkling lamps.
I am poor and rich, young and old.
I build morale and confidence in the right.
I defeat fear, mistrust, and ignorance.
Lies are cut down and fall naked before my sword.
False rumor flies before the searchlight of my truth as does the mist at sunrise.
I make clear the issues so that all may know and understand.
It is my duty "to hold unbroken the inner lines," [and] "to inspire to highest action and noblest sacrifice."
I am everywhere helping to win this greatest of wars and to save the world for God and man.
I am here to stay on duty until the fight is won.
I am the Four Minute Man.

Speech by a Four Minute Man
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have just received the information that there is a German spy among us—
a German spy watching us.
He is around, here somewhere, reporting upon you and me—sending reports about us to Berlin and telling the Germans just what we are doing with the Liberty Loan. From every section of the country these spies have been getting reports over to Potsdam—not general reports but details—where the loan is going well and where its success seems weak, and what people are saying in each community.
For the German Government is worried about our great loan. Those Junkers fear its effect upon the German morale. They're raising a loan this month, too.
If the American people lend their billions now, one and all with a hip-hip-hurrah, it means that America is united and strong. While, if we lend our money half-heartedly, America seems weak and autocracy remains strong.
Money means everything now; it means quicker victory and therefore less bloodshed. We are in the war, and now Americans can have but one opinion, only one wish in the Liberty Loan.
Well, I hope these spies are getting their messages straight, letting Potsdam know that America is hurling back to the autocrats these answers:
For treachery here, attempted treachery in Mexico, treachery everywhere—one billion.
For murder of American women and children—one billion more.
For broken faith and promise to murder more Americans—billions and billions more.
And then we will add:
In the world fight for Liberty, our share—billions and billions and billions and endless billions.
Do not let the German spy hear and report that you are a slacker.

Poem Read by Four Minute Men
"It's Duty Boy"
My boy must never bring disgrace to his immortal sires—
At Valley Forge and Lexington they kindled freedom's fires,
John's father died at Gettysburg, mine fell at Chancellorsville;
While John himself was with the boys who charged up San Juan Hill.
And John, if he was living now, would surely say with me,
"No son of ours shall e'er disgrace our grand old family tree
By turning out a slacker when his country needs his aid."
It is not of such timber that America was made.
I'd rather you had died at birth or not been born at all,
Than know that I had raised a son who cannot hear the call
That freedom has sent round the world, its previous rights to save—
This call is meant for you, my boy, and I would have you brave;
And though my heart is breaking, boy, I bid you do your part,
And show the world no son of mine is cursed with craven heart;
And if, perchance, you ne'er return, my later days to cheer,
And I have only memories of my brave boy, so dear,
I'd rather have it so, my boy, and know you bravely died
Than have a living coward sit supinely by my side.
To save the world from sin, my boy, God gave his only son—
He's asking for My boy, to-day, and may His will be done.
Attention, Mr. Farmer Man, and listen now to me,
and I will try and show to you what I can plainly see.
Your Uncle Sam, the dear old man who's been so good to you,
is needing help and watching now to see what you will do.
Your Uncle's in the great world war and since he's entered in
it's up to every one of us to see that he shall win.
He's trying hard to "speed things up" and do it with a dash,
and so just now he's asking you to aid him with your cash.
Remember, all he asks of you is but a simple loan,
and every patriot comes across without a single moan.
Should Uncle Sammy once get mad (he will if you get lax),
he then will exercise his right, and make you pay a tax.
Should Kaiser Bill and all his hordes, once get across the Pond,
d'ye think he'll waste his time on you, and coax to take a bond?
Why no, siree. He'd grab and hold most everything he saw.
He'd take your farm, your stock and lands, your wife and babies all.
He'd make you work, he'd make you sweat, he'd squeeze you till you'd groan.

After nearly four years, billions in bailouts and increasingly strict austerity measures, not only is the Eurozone debt crisis no closer to resolution, but the attempts to solve it are pushing the region deeper into recession.
According to Eurostat, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the 17-nation Eurozone plunged 0.6% in the final quarter of 2012, a steeper drop than the 0.4% economists had expected and the worst decline since 2009.
It's the third consecutive GDP decline for the Eurozone, reaffirming that the area is mired in a recession that started with the 2008 financial crisis and has been exacerbated by the ongoing Eurozone debt crisis.
For all of 2012, the Eurozone economy shrank 0.5%, while the U.S. economy grew 2.2%. Even the GDP of beleaguered Japan increased 1.9%.
Most ominously, the GDP decline of the Eurozone's largest and strongest economy, Germany, mirrored that of the region as a whole, falling 0.6%.
Long one of the few bright spots, Germany is slowly getting dragged down by its weak neighbors, which include Italy, Spain, Greece and even France.
The bad GDP news also belies the sunny assessments recently delivered by many economists and EU leaders.
"These are horrible numbers, it's a widespread contraction, which does not match this positive picture of stabilization and positive contagion," Carsten Brzeski from ING told the BBC.
While the Eurozone debt crisis itself is partly responsible for the region's current economic woes, the austerity remedies designed to address it are more responsible for eviscerating economic growth, Money Morning Global Investing Strategist Martin Hutchinson explained.
"Much of this sluggishness is the result of government austerity having taken the form of tax increases rather than spending cuts – the latter are not necessarily recession-producing, the former are," Hutchinson said.
Unless the governments in the most troubled Eurozone countries back off from the crippling tax increases, the economies in the region will continue to shrink.
While some economists see a Eurozone recovery starting later in 2013, the reality of continued weakness has convinced others to lower expectations.
According to the European Central Bank's (ECB) quarterly Survey of Professional Forecasters released today (Thursday), the Eurozone economy will have zero growth in 2013. The group had previously forecast growth of 0.3%.
Professional investors are even more pessimistic. A recent S&P Capital IQ survey of European fixed income fund managers indicated they expected the region to stay in recession for the rest of 2013.
And two weeks ago, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook, changed its 2013 forecast for the Eurozone from growth of 0.1% to a contraction of 0.2%.
U.S. investors need to keep an eye on the Eurozone debt crisis because an actual meltdown of the region would disrupt stock markets around the world.
But the Eurozone recession has already had a negative impact on many U.S. stocks with large operations in Europe.
General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM): Though the top U.S. automaker earned a profit of $892 million in the December quarter, it lost $699 million from its European operations, causing GM to slightly miss expectations. Total losses for the year totaled nearly $1.8 billion, more than twice its European losses in the previous year. Rival Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) said last month that it lost $1.8 billion in Europe in 2012 as well, and could lose $2 billion in 2013.
Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO): The tech giant that manufactures much of the network gear that powers the Internet said revenue growth in Europe, which accounts for a quarter of the company's business, declined 5% even as revenue in the Americas rose 9%, and in Asia, 8.3%.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (Nasdaq: GT): Goodyear blamed a 38% year-over-year decline in earnings on slower European sales, and the glum outlook for that region led CEO Richard Kramer to lower Goodyear's earnings guidance for 2013. "During the fourth quarter, it became increasingly clear that the effects of the European economic crisis will be felt for an extended period of time," Kramer said.
Koss Corp. (NYSE: KOSS): Even smaller U.S. companies have felt the effects of the Eurozone recession. Headphone maker Koss said its net income declined 59% in its fiscal second quarter mostly due to weak demand in Europe.
Even if the Eurozone debt crisis fails to erupt in 2013, any U.S. stocks with significant exposure there face risk to their earnings this year.
"People are still approaching the market there with a great deal of caution," Charles King, principal analyst at California-based tech consultancy Pund-IT, told Reuters. "There's still good reason for caution."
Hmm who said "be gready when others are fearful" ohh yes, I remember W. Buffet. Interesting to get Americans views on the problems in Europe? Meanwhile the US economy has "resolved" all its problems?
GM is losing money in Europe, who would have thought ehh? Meanwhile Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW and Porsche are all making record profits in the same market. How dare these damn Europeans compete with GM?

Getting Away with Murder: The True Story of the Emmett Till Case
Narrative and photos on the kidnapping and murder of Emmett Till in 1955
The kidnapping and murder of Emmett Till is famous as a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. Emmett Till, a fourteen-year-old Black teenager from Chicago, was visiting family in a small town in Mississippi during the summer of 1955. Likely showing off to friends, Emmett allegedly whistled at a white woman. Three days later his brutally beaten body was found floating in the Tallahatchie River. The extreme violence of the crime put a national spotlight on the Jim Crow ways of the South, and many Americans—Black and white—were further outraged at the speedy trial of the white murderers. Although the two white men were tried and acquitted by an all-white jury, they later bragged publicly about the crime. It was a galvanizing moment for Black leaders and ordinary citizens, including such activists as Rosa Parks. In clear, vivid detail Chris Crowe investigates the before-and-aftermath of the crime, as well as the dramatic court trial, and places it into the context of the nascent Civil Rights Movement.
With lively narrative and abundantly illustrated with forty fascinating contemporaneous photographs, Getting Away with Murder brings fresh insight to the case in a manner that will be accessible and eye-opening for teenagers and adults alike. [Publisher's description.]

Pharmaceutical waste contaminates India's main rivers

Cauvery river found contaminated with various pharmaceutical products
Major Indian rivers such as Ganga and Yamuna also severely contaminated
Researchers blame poor monitoring by regulatory bodies
By: Papiya Bhattacharya
[NEW DELHI] India's major rivers are thick with heavy metals, dyes, toxic chemicals and pharmaceutical products, a study shows.
The study, published December in the journal Science of the Total Environment, found high concentrations of pharmaceutical waste as well as toxic metals such as arsenic, zinc, chromium, lead and nickel in the Cauvery, a major river in southern India.
Ligy Philip, an author of the study and member of the research team from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, Chennai, says: "Our observations are alarming. The team's environmental risk assessment has shown that pharmaceutical contaminants pose medium to high risk to selected aquatic lifeforms of the riverine system."
"Our observations are alarming. The team's environmental risk assessment has shown that pharmaceutical contaminants pose medium to high risk to selected aquatic lifeforms of the riverine system."
Ligy Philip, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
Pharmaceutical products found in the river included anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen and diclofenac, anti-hypertensives such as atenolol and isoprenaline, enzyme inhibitors like perindopril, stimulants like caffeine, antidepressants such as carbamazepine, and antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin.
India is among the world's biggest producers of pharmaceutical drugs. Although there are regulations governing effluents from manufacturing units, there is very little real monitoring by regulators such as the state pollution control boards. For instance, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board takes samples only once in every three months and only during the day whereas illegal dumping of effluents is often done at night.
The IIT Madras study showed up the consequences of inadequate monitoring of tributaries into which effluents are discharged and eventually reach the Cauvery river.
"Clearly there is a need to ensure that wastewater treatment systems are working optimally to reduce the level of contaminants reaching the rivers," the researchers said. "Our study was intended to encourage further research to assess long-term impacts on human health and the environment."
"We collected samples from 22 locations points along the Cauvery and set up 11 monitoring stations near discharge points and another 11 near intake points of water supply systems," Philip said. The monitoring process took two years to cover seasonal variations in contaminant levels, especially pharmaceutical compounds."
Philip's team found there was an increased level of contaminants including pharmaceutical contaminants during the post-monsoon period because of reduced water flows.
The Cauvery is not the only major river in India to be polluted with effluents from pharmaceutical and other industries. Early November, the river Yamuna that flows past the national capital, was found covered with thick white foam as a result of reactions among the high levels of industrial effluents and sewage being pumped in.
The Ganges river, considered among the most sacred water bodies in the world, has since 2014 been the subject of a multi-billion dollar clean-up programme which has had limited success.

Priyanka Jamwal, fellow at the Centre for Environment and Development of the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment says that the projects to clean up the Ganga can work only with decentralised treatment plants supported with incentives. "Treating industrial wastewater and sewage water before release into the Ganga river can be expensive."
Jamwal and her group monitored a drain near the Peenya industrial area of Bangalore to find heavy concentrations of metals. The colour of the water changed constantly because of dyes being clandestinely released into the drain by various industries. In another study near Kanakapura in Bangalore, Priyanka and her group found heavy metals in irrigation water.
"There's a lack of will by pollution control agencies to implement strict guidelines as well as lack of citizen awareness or commitment," says Nagesh Kumar, professor in the department of civil engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

Peerless Fence Company broke ground yesterday, installing steel fence posts throughout North Terrace Park. Warm temperatures and soft grounds have slowed progress to the project that will separate the park and residents from the dangerous east/west railway. Weather permitting fence sections should connect the posts by mid February. T.E.A.R.S. Vice President Helen Byrd was on hand to view the progress, "the work can not be completed fast enough, residents including children will continue to use this deadly short cut despite increased education and enforcements." Union Pacific has provided funding for the Villa Park side of the rails while Lombard seeks reimbursement from Metra in securing the petitioned area to the south.
