Safety When Visiting a FarmFarmers perform an essential service, providing food and other products that consumers commonly take

for granted. The inner workings of a farm are something to treat with respect. Most of the families who liveand work on a farm understand the potential hazards of such an environment. However, individuals visiting afarm may be unaware of these dangers. Understanding farm safety helps keep everyone safe.

According to the organization Kids Health, the age groups at greatest risk for injury on farms are childrenages 3 to 4 and teenagers ages 13 to 14. Most injuries can be prevented though, with a little education and pre-cautionary measures.

* Don't allow children to wander around unsupervised.* Rides on farm equipment should be discouraged.* Before starting machinery, operators should locate children and other guests and clear them from the work area.* Don't allow children near machinery.* Children under the age of 16 should not be allowed to operate any farm vehicles.* Watch for hand tools or other equipment, and keep children away from them.* Do not touch animals unless a farm worker allows it. Then follow his or her instructions.

100,000 Syrians Pour Into Turkey KUCUK KENDIRCILER, Turkey (AP) — The 19-year-old Kur-

dish militant, who has been fighting the Islamic State group inSyria, brought his family across the border into Turkey tosafety Sunday. But in the tranquility of a Turkish tea gardenjust miles from the frontier, Dalil Boras vowed to head backafter nightfall to continue the fight.

Pulling a wad of Syrian bills from his pocket, the youngfighter — who has already lost a 17-year-old brother to the Is-lamic militants’ brutal advance — said that if the Turkish bor-der guards tried to stop him, money would persuade them.

Boras and his relatives are among some 100,000 Syrians,mostly Kurds, who have flooded into Turkey since Thursday,escaping an Islamic State offensive that has pushed the con-flict nearly within eyeshot of the Turkish border.

The al-Qaida breakaway group, which has established anIslamic state, or caliphate, ruled by its harsh version of Is-lamic law in territory it captured straddling the Syria-Iraq bor-der, has in recent days advanced into Kurdish regions of Syriathat border Turkey, where fleeing refugees on Sunday re-ported atrocities that included stonings, beheadings and thetorching of homes.

On Sunday, heavy clashes broke out between the IslamicState militants and Kurdish fighters only miles from the Syrianborder town of Kobani, where the Islamic State group wasbombarding villagers with tanks, artillery and multiple rocketlaunchers, said Nasser Haj Mansour, a defense official inSyria’s Kurdish region.

Govts. Slow To Combat ISIS PropagandaDUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — As the Islamic State

group battles across Syria and Iraq, pushing back largerarmies and ruling over entire cities, it is also waging an in-creasingly sophisticated media campaign that has rallied dis-enfranchised youth and outpaced the sluggish efforts of Arabgovernments to stem its appeal.

Long gone are the days when militant leaders like Osamabin Laden smuggled grainy videos to Al-Jazeera. Nowadays Is-lamic State backers use Twitter, Facebook and other onlineplatforms to entice recruits with professionally made videosshowing fighters waging holy war and building an Islamicutopia.

The extremist group’s opponents say it is dragging the re-gion back into the Middle Ages with its grisly beheadings andmassacres, but its tech-savvy media strategy has exposed theways in which Arab governments and mainstream religious au-thorities seem to be living in the past.

Most Arab governments see social media as a threat totheir stability and have largely failed to harness its power, ex-perts say. Instead, they have tried to monitor and censor theInternet while churning out stale public statements and state-approved sermons on stuffy government-run media.

Relatives: Vet Arrested AtWhite House Needs Help

BY BETSY BLANEY AND JOSH LEDERMANAssociated Press

MIDLAND, Texas — An Iraq war vet-eran accused of scaling a fence andmaking it into the White House beforethe Secret Service stopped him posedno threat to anyone and needs counsel-ing instead of prosecution, members ofhis family said Sunday.

Omar Gonzalez, 42, was arrested Fri-day and is expected in federal courtMonday to face charges of unlawfullyentering a restricted building orgrounds while carrying a deadly or dan-gerous weapon — a small folding knifein this case.

Jerry Murphy, whose mother wasmarried to Gonzalez for several years,said Gonzalez suffers from post-trau-matic stress disorder and that he needstreatment. He said Gonzalez has beendriving around the country and livingout of his truck for the past couple ofyears, and that he always carries hisknife.

“I know he’s got heavy artillery, youknow?” Murphy added. “He’s got allkinds of weapons and he was trained touse them. I believe if he wanted to makea scene or cause problems, he very wellcould have. But it’s clear that he did-n’t.”

The Secret Service has come underheavy criticism since the embarrassingsecurity breach, which happened whenthe first family wasn’t at the WhiteHouse. Secret Service Director JuliaPierson ordered increased surveillance

and more officer patrols at the WhiteHouse, as the agency investigates whatwent wrong.

The Army said Gonzalez enlisted inJuly 1997 and remained until complet-ing his service obligation in September2003. He reenlisted in July 2005 andserved until his retirement in late 2012,serving in Iraq from October 2006 toJanuary 2008.

The military does not provide de-tails about a soldier’s disability due toprivacy considerations. But SamanthaBell, who is Gonzalez’s ex-wife and Mur-phy’s mother, said Gonzalez was honor-ably discharged for medical reasonsand suffered from plantar fasciitis onhis feet, on which he had had some sur-geries. She said he also suffered fromPTSD, for which he had been pre-scribed several medications.

Bell said she and Gonzalez marriedin 2006 and lived together in CopperasCove, near Fort Hood, until she split upwith him in 2010 because of his worsen-ing mental condition. After his secondtour in Iraq, Gonzalez began carrying a.45 on his hip at all times and kept threeor four rifles and shotguns behind thedoors in their home, said Bell, who re-married and now lives in southern Indi-ana.

She said Gonzalez kept the blindsdrawn and would repeatedly go down-stairs during the night to make sure thedoors were locked and the oven wasoff. She said she once woke up in themiddle of the night to find Gonzalezstanding at the foot of the bed and

staring at her. She said he told her hewas simply watching her sleep.

“Omar is a good guy; he’s just gotsome issues that he needs help with,”she said. “I think this is a cry out forhelp, what he’s done.”

Bell said she had never heard Gonza-lez speak about the “falling atmos-phere” that a criminal complaint saysGonzalez wanted to warn the presidentabout.

Murphy’s sister described Gonzalezas a kind, gentle man who was scarredby war.

“He was the kind of person everyoneliked,” said Rainie Murphy-Gandy, 24, ofMidland, who lived with her mom andGonzalez when he was based at FortHood. “He just started going downhill.”

Less than 24 hours after Gonzalez’sarrest, a second man was apprehendedafter he drove up to a White House gateand refused to leave, Secret Servicespokesman Ed Donovan said, prompt-ing bomb technicians in full gear tosearch the vehicle as agents brieflyshut down nearby streets.

On Sunday, Secret Servicespokesman Brian Leary identified theman as Kevin Carr, 19, of Shamong, NewJersey.

There were no indications the twoincidents were connected. But theyonly intensified the scrutiny of the Se-cret Service, which is struggling to re-habilitate its image following a series ofallegations of misconduct by agents inrecent years, including agents onObama’s detail.
