Barbara Bush, the matriarch of a Republican political dynasty and a first lady who elevated the cause of literacy, died Tuesday, a family spokesman said. She was 92.Only the second woman in American history to have had a husband and a son elected President (Abigail Adams was the first), Bush was seen as a plainspoken public figure who was instantly recognizable with her signature white hair and pearl necklaces and earrings.She became a major political figure as her husband, George H.W. Bush, rose to become vice president and president. After they left the White House, she was a potent spokeswoman for two of her sons -- George W. and Jeb -- as they campaigned for office.Photos: Barbara Bush through the yearsThe mother of six children -- one of whom, a daughter, Robin, died as a child from leukemia -- Barbara Bush raised her fast-growing family in the 1950s and '60s amid the post-war boom of Texas and the whirl of politics that consumed her husband.She was at his side during his nearly 30-year political career. He was a US representative for Texas, UN ambassador, Republican Party chairman, ambassador to China and CIA director. He then became Ronald Reagan's vice president for two terms and won election to the White House in 1988. He left office in 1993 after losing a re-election bid to Bill Clinton.Quick-witted with a sharp tongue, the feisty Barbara Bush was a fierce defender of her husband and an astute adviser.As first lady, her principal persona as a devoted wife and mother contrasted in many ways with her peer and predecessor, Nancy Reagan, and her younger successor, Hillary Clinton, both of whom were seen as more intimately involved in their husbands' presidencies.Still, Barbara Bush promoted women's rights, and her strong personal views sometimes surfaced publicly and raised eyebrows -- especially when they clashed with Republican Party politics. For instance, she once said as her husband ran for president that abortion should not be politicized.She also was not shy about the possibility of a female president, disarming a Wellesley College audience at a 1990 appearance protested by some on campus who questioned her credentials to address female graduates aiming for the workplace."Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow my footsteps and preside over the White House as the president's spouse."I wish him well," she said.Barbara Pierce was born June 8, 1925, in New York and raised in the upscale town of Rye. She attended a prestigious boarding school in South Carolina, where she met her future husband at a school dance when she was only 16 and he was a year older. A year and a half and countless love letters later, the two were engaged just before George Bush enlisted in the Navy and went off to fight in World War II.Bush, who was the youngest fighter pilot in the Navy at the time, would return home a war hero, after being shot down by the Japanese. He had flown 58 combat missions and received the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery. By that time, Barbara had dropped out of Smith College and the pair were married in January 1945.They raised their family mainly in Texas, where George H.W. Bush, the son of a US senator, was in the oil business and later entered politics.Barbara Bush's dedication to keeping order at home earned her the nickname "the enforcer.""We were rambunctious a lot, pretty independent-minded kids, and, you know, she had her hands. Dad, of course, was available, but he was a busy guy. And he was on the road a lot in his businesses and obviously on the road a lot when he was campaigning. And so Mother was there to maintain order and discipline. She was the sergeant," George W. Bush told CNN in 2016.With her husband as vice president in the 1980s, Bush adopted literacy as a cause, raising awareness and eventually launching the nonprofit Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. After George H.W. Bush's presidency, he and Barbara raised more than billion for literacy and cancer charities."I chose literacy because I honestly believe that if more people could read, write, and comprehend, we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems that plague our nation and our society," she said.A writer, her books include an autobiography and one about post-White House life. Her children's book about their dog, Millie, and her puppies written during her White House years was, as were her other books, a bestseller.In 2001, when George W. Bush took office, Barbara Bush became the only woman in American history to live to see her husband and son elected president.She campaigned for son George W. and fiercely defended him from critics after he became president.Asked in a 2013 interview about the prospect that her younger son, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, might mount a White House campaign in 2016, Bush quipped in her dry fashion, "We've had enough Bushes."But when Jeb decided to run, she changed her mind and campaigned for him, appearing in a video for Jeb Bush's ultimately unsuccessful campaign, saying, "I think he'll be a great president."She also was outspoken about Donald Trump. In one of her last interviews, the former first lady said in early 2016 she was "sick" of Trump, who belittled her son repeatedly during the 2016 GOP primary campaign, adding that she doesn't "understand why people are for him.""I'm a woman," she added. "I'm not crazy about what he says about women."Most recently, Bush published a note in the spring edition of Smith College's alumnae magazine, where she declared: "I am still old and still in love with the man I married 72 years ago."The college awarded Bush an honorary degree in 1989.Bush battled health problems for much of her later life. She was diagnosed in 1988 with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disease that commonly affects the thyroid. She had open-heart surgery in 2009 and in 2008 underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer.In her final years, she was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, better known as COPD, as well as congestive heart failure. But, along with her husband, she kept an active public schedule, raising money for charity.Bush is survived by her husband, George H.W.; sons George W., Neil, Marvin and Jeb; daughter, Dorothy Bush Koch; and 17 grandchildren. 6302

BOULDER, Colo. -- Ashley Patchen is the studio owner of Alchemy of Movement. The tag line of the adult dance fitness studio is "Dance for Joy." It’s something she communicates daily through movement and her personality.As fun as running a dance studio may be, she’s had a lot of weight on her shoulders the past five months trying to keep her studio alive during a pandemic.“I knew that if I closed completely, I’d be letting a lot of people down,” Ashley Patchen said.When everything shut down across the nation in mid-March, it only took Patchen four days to start offering virtual dance classes.“I bought some teachers speakers for their houses, I gave people laptops, and I probably spent a full month trying to get the audio right.”All was donation-based, but Patchen says they were able to make about 70% of their normal revenue thanks to some generous people.“Some were in the form of people coming regularly and paying a class instead of . Or some of our teachers were going to each other’s classes and paying for those classes. And some of the teachers were donating their payroll back to the studio. And we had a few clients who donated large chunks,” Patchen said.Sarah Hershey who donated a lot of money says Alchemy of Movement has been a God-send in her life.“Years ago my grandma, when she passed away, left me a pretty sizeable amount of money that I always felt kind of guilty just being handed to me. So this kind of felt like a good opportunity to pay it forward and help people that I love and a place that I love in a way my grandma helped me,” Hershey said.So Patchen was able to continue offering virtual classes for two-and-a-half months. Then in May, when many of the quarantine restrictions were lifted in the state of Colorado, Ashley, dancers and instructors like Bethany Wilcox were eager to start in-person classes again.“It’s amazing. It’s just an awesome amount of energy that just infuses everything,” instructor Bethany Wilcox said.A majority of classes were shifted outside and boxes were drawn to ensure a 6-foot distance between people. Patchen was able to start charging for in-person classes again. But the donation-based virtual streaming continued for those who still felt it necessary to stay home.“I knew about half of our clients at least were not going to be coming in,” Patchen said.This month, Patchen was surprised to find out revenue has surpassed what it usually is in the middle of summer.“Usually our summers are like the slowest ever. And now that we’re doing the outdoor classes, everyone is like ‘yayyy, I love being outdoors! I love dancing! This is the best thing ever!’ So it’s actually worked out really well like a lot of people who cancel their membership in the summer are keeping it going because we have outdoor stuff.”Beyond these creative solutions to continue classes, Patchen says there’s one secret ingredient to why she thinks the studio has continued to thrive during this time.“We are strong because we are a community. And we have survived because we are a community. Our dancers love each other, and our teachers love each other, and they all support each other,” Patchen said.The dancers and instructors agree.“I like a lot of people don’t have a lot of family close by so this is definitely my second family, my dance family,” dancer Megan Ramirez said.“Honestly dance saved my mental stability during the pandemic," dancer Taylor Best-Anderson said. "Being able to just do Alchemy classes online for the first few months was really helpful. It was the only way I was really able to see my friends.”“It’s so nice to be with actual humans again!" instructor Ayla Satten said. "Ya know, you’re so used to your community and your sisterhood and then it gets ripped away from you, you miss it so much.”Patchen says she’s worried about the change in seasons several months down the road knowing classes outside may be more of a challenge. However, she plans to continue taking it month by month – finding some humor to stay positive amid the circumstances.“If you have the right mask it’s not that bad. Especially if you’re sparkly," Ashley said with a laugh. 4145

BARTOW COUNTY, Ga. -- The Benham family of northwest Georgia has made history by breaking down barriers, which helped open up new opportunities for the African-American community.This always bring back good memories for me up here. We used to call it the beach,” Robert Benham said of George Washington Carver Park in Bartow County, Georgia. “It was a place where people of color could feel free.”Free, however, during a time of segregation. Robert Benham’s father was the superintendent at George Washington Carver Park, Georgia’s first state park for African Americans.“It’s where my mom and dad were in business and they were people who really believed in the American dream,” Benham said.Benham said he learned valuable life lessons while water skiing the section of Lake Allatoona in Acworth, Georgia.“Being the smallest person, I was always atop of the pyramid,” he said. “The lesson I learned then was that sometimes you can do things perfectly and still fail at it.”Benham says those experiences helped him become the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of Georgia.There was one incident, however, that impacted his life more than others: when he was denied using the front door at the park’s main office.“My dad stepped up and said, ‘this is my son, he can go in anybody’s front door and if you ever step in his way that will be the last step you make,’” Benham said.That decision would cost Benham’s father his job, but would prove to be a turning point in both of their lives.“He said, ‘there’s some things you have to do be a man,’” Benham said of his father. “’And if you can’t stand up for your children, what can you stand up for?’”While Benham describes the waters at George Washington Carver Park as almost spiritual. He says they also had a huge impact physically. During his the Benham family’s time there, this section of the lake was the only lake in northwest Georgia where African Americans were allowed to swim.“For some people this was the first time they had an opportunity to swim because they couldn’t swim in the various facilities in town,” Benham said.In an area where Confederate flags still fly today, George Washington Carver Park is now open to everyone while Benham is now retired as a judge.Looking back on the past, he believes the recreation area has helped with the future of race relations.“If they work on the things that they have in common than the things that separate them will be less significant,” Benham said. 2483

Britain’s government has backtracked on plans to give Chinese telecommunications company Huawei a limited role in the U.K.’s new high-speed mobile phone network in a decision with broad implications for relations between London and Beijing. Britain imposed the ban Tuesday after the U.S. threatened to sever an intelligence-sharing arrangement because of concerns Huawei equipment could allow the Chinese government to infiltrate U.K. networks. Prime Minister Boris Johnson was under pressure from rebels in his own Conservative Party who criticized China’s new Hong Kong security law and its treatment of ethnic Uighurs, as well as Huawei’s links to the Chinese government. 682

BERLIN — A spacecraft bound for Mercury has swung by Venus, using Earth’s neighbor to adjust its course on the way to the solar system’s smallest and innermost planet. Launched almost two years ago, the European-Japanese probe BepiColombo took a black-and-white snapshot of Venus from a distance of 10,560 miles. The fly-by is the second of nine so-called planetary gravity assists that the spacecraft needs for its seven-year trip to Mercury. BepiColombo will make one more fly-by of Venus and six of Mercury itself to slow down before its arrival in 2025. Researchers hope the BepiColombo mission will help them understand more about Mercury, which is only slightly larger than Earth’s moon and has a massive iron core. 729
