Sibling punches aren't
only assaults kids face

CHICAGO (AP) - Getting
punched by your brother or
sister is sometimes a painful
rite of passage, but many U.S.
kids also experience other
types of assaults, mistreatment
and abuse, a big government-
funded survey found.
The consequences can
include social and emotional
troubles, even when the
perpetrator is a sibling, other
research has found.
While most incidents
reported in the survey
didn't cause injuries
and many didn't involve
weapons, the results show
that youths younger than
age 18 are exposed to
violence in extensive ways,
"which justifies continued
monitoring and prevention
efforts," the researchers said.
The results are from 2013-
14 phone interviews with
4,000 randomly selected
kids or their parents, asked
about recent and lifetime
experiences. Results were
published Monday in JAMA
Pediatrics; there was little
change from a previous
survey in 2011.
Among the key findings:
• For all ages grouped
together, 37 percent
experienced any physical
assault in the previous year.
Srebrenica was a Muslim
town besieged by Serb forces
in Bosnia’s 1992-95 ethnic
war, in which Serbs tried to
wrest away territory from
Bosnian Muslims and Croats
to form their own state. Serb
troops led by Gen. Ratko
Mladic — on trial in The
Hague on genocide charges
— overran the enclave in
July 1995 and some 15,000
Srebrenica men fled into the
mountains.
The rest of the population,
some 25,000 people, sought
protection from Dutch U.N.
peacekeepers stationed
at the suburb of Potocari.
But the outnumbered Blue
Helmets could only watch as
Serb troops occupied their
base and separated men
and boys from women, and
loaded the males on buses
and trucks. They slaughtered
some 2,000 men and boys
straightaway on July 11,
1995. Then they hunted
down and killed 6,000 more
who fled into the forests.
Over 7,000 bodies of
victims have been found in 93
mass graves and 314 surface
sites throughout northeastern
Bosnia. Another 1,000 people
are still missing.
As the massacre unfolded,
Nukic said goodbye to
his wife and children in
front of the U.N. base,
and disappeared into the
woods with his father and
brother, joining other fleeing
SREBRENICA, Bosnia-
Herzegovina (AP) — Day
after day, Ramiz Nukic
goes into the woods around
Srebrenica in search of a
tragic quarry: human bones.
There’s rarely a day in
which he does not find
the remains of at least one
murdered boy or man, even
20 years after Europe’s worst
massacre since World War
II. Srebrenica’s killing fields
swallowed up 8,000 bodies,
and the murderers took
pains to hide evidence of the
genocide.
Nukic’s quest started
in 1999 after he returned
to his empty hometown
of Kamenice and began
looking for the remains of
his murdered father and
younger brother. As the
family’s only male massacre
survivor, he became
obsessed with bringing
closure to their loss. Every
day he discovered bones
that gave other families the
gift of mourning, but not
his own. Every day he kept
trying, and quietly he built
up an astonishing record:
Nukic’s discoveries have
allowed Bosnia’s Institute for
Missing Persons to identify
nearly 300 Srebrenica
victims.
But his father and brother
eluded him.
BROCCOLI BITES
A prevalent theme at the
expo was snacks made from
unusual ingredients; think
bags of roasted chickpeas,
cheese puffs made out of
beans, and chips made out
of seaweed.
Another example that
fell into that category was
Broccoli Bites from Rhythm
Foods, which also makes
kale chips. Before they’re
dehydrated, the broccoli is
tossed in a dressing made
with seeds, herbs and spices
to add flavor and prevent
crumbling. Each 1.5-ounce
bag has 150 calories.
Even though kale has
surged in popularity in
recent years, Rhythm Foods
CEO Scott Jensen said he
expects the broccoli snacks
to be a lot easier to explain
and sell to buyers.
And he’s already working
the next vegetable snack:
cauliflower.

MAPLE WATER
Is maple water the next
coconut water?
Drink Maple, based in
Concord, Massachusetts,
sells bottles of maple water
it says is tapped from
maple trees.
It’s the same stuff that’s
boiled down into maple
syrup, but don’t expect
a thick and sticky drink.
The clear liquid has the
consistency of water and a
lightly sweetened taste, with
a 12-ounce bottle labeled
as having 30 calories and 7
grams of sugar. The product
also seems to hit on all the
prevailing dietary trends:
the company’s website notes
maple water is “low calorie,
gluten-free, dairy-free and
non-GMO.”
It also says “no trees are
harmed” in the collection
process.

Coconut,” and the chips in
flavors including “Spinach &
Matcha Tea.”
HALF-POPPED KERNELS
Do you think those
half-popped kernels at the
bottom of the popcorn bag
are the best part? Now two
companies are selling bags
of just those bits.
HalfPops and Pop’d Kerns
offer the snacks in different
flavors, with a one-ounce
serving containing between
130 and 160 calories,
depending on the flavor.
HalfPops, based in
Bellevue, Washington, says
it uses a proprietary process
to cook the kernels. Six-
ounce bags of HalfPops are
available online and at about
2,000 locations, including
some Whole Foods and
Wegman’s, said Mike Watts,
the company’s vice president
of marketing.
Srebrenica men.
But the Serbs set ambushes
along their path. As the
Bosnian Muslim men sat
down to rest on a hill just
above Nukic’s village, Serb
guns and tanks suddenly
fired on the group. About a
thousand were killed on the
spot — including Nukic’s
father and brother. Nukic
survived because he hid in the
fern until the shooting was
over. Knowing the terrain, he
managed to sneak away and
eventually find his wife and
children in a refugee camp.
Nukic returned to his
empty village of Kamenice in
1999 and gathered courage
to climb up the hill where his
loved ones died. The sight that
greeted him froze his blood.
“When I saw those clothes
and shoes scattered around
the site,” he said, “I went
numb.”
Right at his feet, he found
three complete skeletons.
From then on, Nukic
searched the woods every
day, overturning branches
and leaves, hoping to find
his father and brother. But
there was no way to tell who
he found.
“A bone is a bone,” he said.
“You do not know who it
belongs to.”
Each time he discovered
bones he contacted the
Institute for Missing
Persons, which took away
the remains to identify
the trade group that puts
on the show. The expo,
which featured more than
100,000 products, is not
open to the public.
Here are five potential
foods of the future
exhibitors were showing off:
WINE ICE CREAM
Instead of a glass, this wine
can be served in a cone.
Mercer’s, a dairy in
upstate New York, was
offering tastes of its “wine
ice cream,” which has
up to 5 percent alcohol.
The ice creams come in
eight flavors including
“Strawberry Sparkling” and
“Chocolate Cabernet.”
Roxaina Hurlburt, a
co-owner of Mercer’s, said
the dairy has been making
traditional ice cream for 60
years and started packaging
the wine ice cream in 2008.
She said it’s sold online
and in a couple of hundred
locations around the
The company says it’s
sold in about 800 stores
throughout the Northeast,
including at select Whole
Foods and small health
food stores.
“SEXY” SNACKS
Holding a bag of chips
with the word “Sexy” in big
letters can cure shyness. At
least that’s what Sexy snacks
founder Robert Ehrlich told
visitors to his booth.
“When you hold a bag,
you are sort of empowering
yourself,” he says.
The most notable aspects
of the snacks may be the
name and Ehrlich, whose
claim to fame is his founding
of Pirate’s Booty. Ehrlich
says the snacks are a way for
people to brand themselves,
as they might with sneakers
or handbags. The company,
based in Sea Cliff, N.Y.,
says its products are sold in
about 1,500 locations.
The popcorn comes
“It would be great if they could
use a crate or some other means so
there is no way for their animal to
flee from their property,” she said. “A
backyard unattended, and they become
frightened that makes them quick to
dig under the fence or jump over.”
In the event that the dog does get
out and gets picked up by animal
control, an implanted microchip can
help find the owner and get the pup
home sooner, Lewis said.
Upper warned of the dangers of
a pet who is picked up without any
identification.
“If not mircochipped or wearing a
collar, they are kept in the shelter until
through DNA analysis.
“I rarely return home
empty-handed,” he said as he
sat on a tree stump next to
his latest finding. He is not
allowed to touch the bones.
It’s a crime scene.
“I feel bad when I don’t
find a bone,” said Nukic, a
farmer. “I’m happy when I do.
Because one family will find
closure.”
Calmly lighting a cigarette,
he pulled out his mobile
phone and called his contact
at the institute.
After extensive descriptions
of his location, institute
representative Sadik
Selimovic turned up to make
the collection.
“Ramiz Nukic’s help has
no price,” Selimovic said.
“Thanks to him many bones
got their names. I do not
know how the institute could
repay him. We have run out
of words of gratitude for him.”
This year, Nukic’s dream of
finding his father and brother
came true, but he wasn’t the
one who made the discovery:
The incomplete remains were
found in a mass grave.
He will bury his father
on July 11. “It feels good,
although he is not complete.
I will bury him, and I will
know where his grave is,”
Nukic said.
But his mission is not
over. Nukic intends to keep
hunting for bones to the end
of his life.
SEGUIN (AP) — Every year
Americans celebrate Independence
Day with a display of fireworks and
Seguin is no exception, as the city
will host a show at 9:30 p.m. from the
Starcke Park Golf Course.
While the show may be beautiful,
man’s best friend doesn’t particularly
care for it.
Dogs have a hard time with the
thunderous booms, said Seguin Animal
Control Supervisor Leah Lewis.
“Most pets are scared of fireworks,”
she said. “We encourage everyone at
all times, especially during the Fourth
of July, make sure your pets are
wearing their collars or identification
tags.”

Founder Barbara Upper said animals
will do what they can to try and get
away from the noise.
“Animals can jump fences or break
free when they become frightened
and roam the streets,” she said. “Use

destiny.
Those were some of the
alternate-universe products
at this week’s 61st annual
Fancy Food Show. Many
have limited distribution
and aren’t easy to find, but
could signal coming trends.
Buyers for places like
supermarkets milled
about the trade show
at the sprawling Jacob

City, tasting the treats on
display and stuffing bags
with free samples.

“The number one day for intakes
of animals at public shelters is July 5,”
she said. “We are always at capacity
in our shelters here. It is a scary day
for those who operate shelters, and all
of the rescues work so hard to keep
animals safe.”

owners can do to make sure Fido is

Frickman pulled his wife
free and called authorities as
he headed toward an Orange

steered, he splashed water
on the 350-pound dolphin
to keep it alive.
"I could hear my phone

At the harbor, Frickman
removed all the seats from

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP)
— A dolphin leaped onto a
boat in Southern California,
crashing into a woman and
breaking both her ankles.
Chrissie Frickman was
boating with her husband
and two children June 21

swam alongside them. One
of the animals jumped
on the vessel, knocking
