DOIS’T FORGET THEM
REMEMBER THOSE disabled veterans “who did
so much to preserve the American way of life.”
That’s the message in a proclamation presented by
Councilman Ray Swofford, right. DAV members,
from left, are Asa Duncan, service officer of DAV
126; Ray Malone, sergeant-at-arms; and Clarence
Mel Blanc, voice of Bugs Bunny
and other characters, dies at 81
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mel
Blanc, “The Man of A Thousand
Voices,” including the legions of
Looney Tune stars such as
Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Tweety
Pie, Elmer Fudd and that
mischievously silly wabbit Bugs
Bunny, has died. He was 81.
The originator of such lines as
Btigs’ “Eh, what’s up, Doc?,”
Sylvester the Cat’s “Thufferin’
thuccotash!,” and Porky’s “Th-
th:th-that’s all, folks” died Mon-
day from complications from
heart disease and other
ailments.
By his own count, Blanc
estimated he had mastered at
Idast 900 different accents and
dialects during a career spann-
fcg more than 50 years.
. Working in an age without
liigh-tech sound effects, Blanc
was a human synthesizer, a ver-
bal computer. It has been
estimated that more than 20
million people hear his voices
&aily.
| He invented the voices of such
Characters as Woody

ny.
He also did voices for Elmer
Fudd, the Roadrunner and
numerous other characters he
performed on 850 cartoons for
Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes.
He was the babbling Barney
Rubble and the hyperactive,
yammering Dino, Fred Flint-
stone’s pet dinosaur on the
popular Hanna-Barbera series;
Mr. Spacely on “The Jetsons”
and the Frito Bandito.
“Those voices were part of
him, and he loved every moment
of it,” said Blanc’s son, Noel.
“When the kids would come to
the door or in the studio, he
became those characters.”
His final cartoon contribution
came with 1988’s popular
animation-live action film,
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit,”
in which he did the voices of Daf-
fy, Tweety, Bugs and Sylvester.
The film’s director, Robert
Zemeckis, called Blanc a man
“whose talent transcended all
ages and broke through to the
child in all of us.”

Houston Astros first
baseman Glenn Davis is
one of the most dangerous
hitters in baseball.
Last season, he accounted
for 30 homers and 99 RBI.
More than just a slugger,
Glenn has worked hard to
become agpod hitter no
matter what situation con-
fronts him.
Glenn knows what it
feels like to slam into an
emotional brick wail... to
lose hope. He struggled
with that problem as a
young man.
Having found balance in
his life, Davis says, “Baseball
has been a big help to me, *
providing me with a plat-
form from which to tell ~ ||| *
kids, don’t give up.”
I
know what
it is to win.
The feeling of victory has no equal.
“It’s just unexplainable... like an explosion
... a thrill... a sensation within that you can’t
quite put into words.
“Moments when I’ve hit a homer or scored
the winning run... those are thrills.
“Others are off the field. Times when you
gain experience or knowledge that helps y ou
improve yopr life... your perspective. Those
are victories too.”
T
uming losing
into winning.
Dim’t give up hope.
“You’re in a pressure situation. You feel
like you’re letting people down when you
don’t perform.
“My experience is that these times don’t
last very long. Hang in there. There’s hope.
You’re going to make it.”
I
t s a matter
of perspective.
