But it’s a serious-enough arrest that it stays on a teenager’s record permanently, following along as he or she applies to college, seeks out an internship, or applies for a job. Anyone can easily find it.
That may be the one thing that will shock parents, who may have had some experience using fake IDs when they were young, into realizing that these new IDs are a whole different ball game.

It’s easy for teens to get them, but an officer says young people don’t understand the risks
By Rob Stafford | Wednesday, Nov 21, 2012 | Updated 8:50 AM CDT
www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/unit-5-fake-id-cards-18…
It is easier than ever these days for a teenager to buy a fake identification card, and the cards they get look more real than ever. But few teenagers understand how severe the punishment can be if they’re caught with one.
At midnight on a Thursday night in November, the 2300 block of Chicago’s Lincoln Avenue is jammed with college students wandering from bar to bar. The scene is lively with a little dose of crazy: Two guys push and shove each other on one side of the street, while on the other side three unwieldy students trip and bump into some startled (and angry) bystanders. They’ve all clearly had a lot to drink.
At O’Malley’s West, Fuze, and other bars that line the block, bouncers stand outside and check the ID of each person in line. Often a bouncer will take a good 10 seconds to examine the card, check out the face, and double-check the ID again, before letting someone in.
That routine is repeated at several other bars that night as bouncers let in a particular group of three young women who are out for a night of dancing and drinking.
The problem is that one of these women is 20, another is 19 and the third is 18 years old.
Each woman gets into these bars by using remarkably realistic fake IDs — with holograms and graphics and barcodes so convincing they can even fool police officers. Even when one of these "fakes" is placed side-by-side with a real license, it can be nearly impossible to figure out which is which.
An increasing number of kids order these cards online, from a variety of websites which each purport to sell "novelty" IDs and licenses. Many of the sites are based overseas, but easily accessible to any group of kids with a laptop and some cash.
Teenagers typically pool their money (the websites offer discounted prices for volume orders – and duplicate cards in case one gets confiscated). Teenagers fill out a form on the website, choosing the state and address they want to have. Then they upload their photos (the sites give advice on how to look and the background to use to make it look like a photo that would be taken at a legitimate department of motor vehicles), and send out the cash. Within a week or two, a nondescript package arrives in the mail. It may contain anything from a random videotape or a necklace or a pair of gloves – but hidden somewhere inside is a pile of sparkling new – and completely fake – IDs.
"We are in a race all the time against what technology can produce," said Tyler Dumontelle, an investigator with the Illinois Secretary of State Police.
Dumontelle teaches local police departments how to spot these fraudulent driver’s licenses and also helps conduct stings to catch teenagers trying to use a fake at a bar.
"We went from a time about six years ago when you could almost peel a fake driver’s license apart in two seconds – to something now [where] they’ve managed to duplicate all the rather fancy holograms from various states," he explained.
And while easy access to these sophisticated IDs is a problem, Dumontelle said an even bigger problem may be the casual attitude that teenagers have these days when it comes to using – and possessing – these fraudulent I.D.s and licenses.
"At lot of times when we arrest them, it’s almost like they can’t fathom that they’re under arrest,” he says. "I think there is a culture, among the college students especially, that this is the norm; that you’ll have a fake I.D., and you’ll go to these nightclubs in Chicago or around the state. They don’t expect the police officers from the Illinois Secretary of State’s police to be the one that they are either handing their ID to, or who’s going to be checking their license."
But in fact, the Secretary of State’s police conducted 84 "stings" of bars in a 12-month period from July of 2011 through June of 2012, and during that time police arrested 324 teenagers carrying fake IDs.
But even that fact may not deter many teens from buying and using these phony licenses because they commonly believe the penalty is minor; basically the equivalent of a parking ticket.
"It’s just a fine," said one of the teens who got in to several bars during their Thursday night pub crawl. "Not that big a deal."
But — in fact – the penalty is much more than a fine – and teenagers (and their parents) are often surprised to learn that a fake ID arrest can remain a very big deal for a very long time.
"I make sure to let them know that by possessing a fake driver’s license, they’ve committed a felony,’ said Dumontelle.
In fact, possession of a fraudulent ID is a class four felony in Illinois.
"That’s the same thing as if they punched me in the face," he says. "You could actually go to prison for that."
Dumontelle acknowledges that he’s not really aiming to throw these teens in jail. Often, he says, a little bit of shock may do the trick.
"I keep a box of tissues in the car because I think, sometimes, it’s not until they’re arrested, in handcuffs, in the police car, and you’re discussing the crime with them that it really hits: This is serious," he said.
But it’s a serious-enough arrest that it stays on a teenager’s record permanently, following along as he or she applies to college, seeks out an internship, or applies for a job. Anyone can easily find it.
That may be the one thing that will shock parents, who may have had some experience using fake IDs when they were young, into realizing that these new IDs are a whole different ball game.
"Just because they got away with something and didn’t get hurt or injured, that doesn’t mean your own kids are going to have the same thing, especially in today’s times," said Dumontelle. "I get to see the other side to this: where a kid is hurt and all he has is a fake ID and we can’t locate his family, or where there’s a traffic accident or crash."
"I don’t like to see dead kids," he says. "I’ve seen enough."

THE Irregular Shed
Image by Irregular Shed
This is where the name comes from. It was never supposed to be any form of online monicker, it just turned out that way due to a misunderstanding.
Back in 1992/93 I lived here – Pound Farm, near Pontypridd – whilst at college. Not in the farm house though, in the converted cow shed. There were seven of us in there and we had a great time – we were in the middle of nowhere, with a wood-fired stove for hot water, great big roaring fires, and odds and sods around the place that scared my parents but we all loved.
Anyway, we started a newspaper – initially a single sheet of A4 paper, for my friend Paul’s girlfriend. We made it on my Spectrum +3 and a college photocopier. We knew it wasn’t going to be coming out regularly, so we called it the Occasional Shed. Except we were doing DTP on an 8-bit computer, so we were pretty restricted, and "Occasional Shed" was several pixels too wide to fit comfortably on the sheet. As a result, we went for the next word from our mental thesauri – "Irregular".
Paul and I made three issues of Irregular Shed in that year – subsequent issues quadrupled the page count to a dizzying four pages. When we went our seperate ways I took the name and idea with me, and did another issue in 1994. After that I tried several times to do more, but the band of people willing to be entertained by the in-jokes I was thinking of had spread themselves across the face of the planet, and so it lay dormant.
Then the internet gathered speed in the later 90s and, in 1997, I decided I’d relaunch Irregular Shed as a website. I never got that far, being restricted more by the PC I had at home than by the Spectrum +3 at the other end of the decade, but I had bits and pieces knocking about, all with Irregular Shed emblazened on them. Hey presto, people started using that to refer to me, and it stuck.
Anyway. This building here is where it all started. I’ve been trying to get a decent photo of it for a while but weather, cameras, batteries and traffic have conspired against me so far. Maybe sometime soon though, eh?
Graduation Success Brings University of Maryland Commencement Changes
Image by University of Maryland Press Releases
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The University of Maryland’s success at graduating higher numbers of undergraduate and graduate students is bringing a change to campus-wide commencement ceremonies. Senior Vice President and Provost Nariman Farvardin, writing to the campus community , said the changes will enhance safety, accessibility and logistists for graduates and their guests.
Farvardin said: "Due in large part to the university’s efforts over the past ten years to improve student retention and graduation rates, I am pleased to report that the number of bachelor’s degrees conferred has increased from 5380 to 6605, master’s degrees from 1696 to 2337, and doctoral degrees from 432 to 604. Consequently, we have reached logistical and safety limits in our ability to hold 31 individual college, school, and program ceremonies in one day."
The changes accepted by Provost Farvardin include:
Moving the main Commencement ceremony from an evening event to 10 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, May 19.
Individual college, school and program ceremonies will be held on the afternoon of May 19 and all day on Friday, May 20.
Farvardin said the Executive Commencement Committee considered several major issues in making their recommendations to him:
In the past several years, ticket distribution has been restricted for many ceremonies, so graduates have had to exclude some family and friends. Even family members with tickets have been turned away at the door because a building’s fire code capacity had been reached. This plan will eliminate the need for tickets and will reduce the safety risk of overcrowding.
Traffic congestion will be relieved and safety will be enhanced by spreading the 31 individual ceremonies over two days and staggering the times.
Scheduling evening ceremonies has greatly inconvenienced some students and their families for cultural and religious reasons. This new plan allows us to ensure that no ceremony is scheduled to last past 6:00 p.m.
By spreading the individual ceremonies over two days, facilities can be used more efficiently, thereby elevating the quality of the ceremonies within current budget constraints.
The Provost thanked the committee for its work – which he said will help ensure more University of Maryland graduates and their families "can enjoy the festivities in a safer and more comfortable environment."

I’m burping garlic fries

I’ve often said that the greatest blog post ever was megnut’s I’m burping garlic fries from March of 2000.
It captures what blogging was in a simpler time, before twitter, before everyone and their mom had a blog. Back when Pyra was kicking ass and Blogger.com was the bomb-diddly.
I’m burping garlic fries – it is perfection in a post. The title and the body of the post are match, equal, if you will, in almost every way.
I am often amazed at how overlooked this post was. Why do others not recognize it’s genius!
I’m burping garlic fries. Hell yes!

Three Soldiers earn berths in Wrestling World Championships
By Tim Hipps
Army Family and MWR Programs
OKLAHOMA CITY – Three U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program wrestlers earned berths in the FILA Wrestling World Championships and nine others made the national team in the 2011 U.S. World Team Trials on June 10-11 at Cox Convention Center.
Sgt. 1st Class Dremiel Byers earned a berth in the World Championships for the eighth time by defeating WCAP teammate Spc. Timothy Taylor in two straight matches during the best-of-three finals for the 120-kilogram/264.5-pound Greco-Roman crown.
Spc. Justin Lester made the national team for the fifth time with a two-match victory over WCAP teammate Staff Sgt. Glenn Garrison in the 66-kilogram/145.5-pound Greco-Roman division.
Spc. Spenser Mango earned his third trip to the World Championships by defeating Minnesota Storm’s Paul Tellgren in two matches for the 55-kilogram/121-pound Greco title.
Those three Soldiers will represent the Army on Team USA at the 2011 FILA Wrestling World Championships, scheduled for Sept. 12-18 in Istanbul, Turkey.
Byers, 36, a native of Kings Mountain, N.C., is the lone U.S. Greco-Roman wrestler who has won gold, silver and bronze medals at the World Championships.
“I just want to make sure I get the medals that nobody said I could get, and especially the one I promised my grandfather,” said Byers, who vowed to win an Olympic medal for his late grandfather, Theodore Byers, before he died. “Chase the medals, and the right one will come. That’s our philosophy with the Olympics.”
Olympic gold is the driving force behind Byers’ eighth appearance in the World Championships on the long road to London for the 2012 Olympic Games.
“Maybe it’s the stage,” he explained of the difference between a World and Olympic medal. “I’ve got my promise coating that medal, and the fact that the world is watching. It’s the one that has eluded me. I want to win a Grand Prix, I want to wrestle in Iran one time, and I want an Olympic gold medal – not necessarily in that order.”
Byers said he derives inspiration from younger Soldiers in the WCAP wrestling room to help him keep reinventing his game.
“I’ve been doing a little bit more on my feet and just getting more aggressive in parterre – going back to the basics of things that truly work, not holding back on either side and not waiting for a perfect lock – just firing,” Byers said. “You might even see some throws this year. It might be those young puppies in the room because they’re eager, and it carries over.
“I’m just fortunate to be a part of this program,” Byers added. “This program is a blessing in my life. To train and represent the United States Army on this level in this sport while the world is watching, I could never be happier.”
Although he’s already entertaining the idea of coaching, Byers refused to call this his final U.S. World Team.
“It’s a long road and I’ve enjoyed the scenery along the way. I’m having a lot of fun with these young guys on the team. They’ve sparked new life in me, I guess,” Byers said. “You never know. If they drag me kicking and screaming into the pasture, I guess I’ll have to go, but they’re going to have to push me first.”
Lester, 27, who won bronze medals at the 2006 and 2007 World Championships, took a year off from wrestling after competing at the 2009 Worlds. He returned to competition as a member of the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program.
“I feel good, but I still feel like a step behind where I used to be,” Lester said after defeating 37-year-old Garrison. “I don’t know if that’s just taking that year off, being off the mat, or maybe age is starting to catch up because I have an explosive style. But I still feel like I can wrestle and feel like I can win a gold medal, so I feel good going into the World Championships.”
Lester can’t get over the patience and dedication of five-time U.S. World Team Trials runner-up Garrison.
“Glenn is a great teammate,” Lester said. “I’ve had very few teammates like him in my whole wrestling career. You need somebody to push you in the room, right? I push him. He pushes me. That’s what we do. And when we step on the mat, whoever wins, that’s how it goes.”
While Byers derives inspiration from younger WCAP teammates, Lester capitalizes on the work ethic of veteran Garrison, who battled through Friday’s challenge tournament to get a shot at reigning national champion Lester on Friday night.
“I don’t know how he does it,” said Lester, who is 10 years younger than Garrison. “I come into the room holding my back coming in, and he’s jumping all over the place. I don’t know if he put some voodoo hex on me or took 10 years from me or what, but he’s a great guy and a great teammate. He definitely pushes me.
“I love WCAP. I love everything the Army is about. It’s given me a great place to train and represent my country in that way and to give our troops overseas something to be proud about while they’re over there fighting. They can look to us and say we’ve got guys out there kicking butts on the mat and in other athletics. It definitely has given me something else to wrestle for so I’m grateful for the opportunity.”
“Iron sharpens iron,” WCAP wrestling head coach Shon Lewis added. “Your team is only as good as your room.”
Mango, 24, who finished eighth in the 2008 Olympic Games and ninth in the 2009 World Championships, struggled to reach the finals in Oklahoma City.
“Yeah, today was definitely one of my rougher days in a long time in the U.S. – just glad I was able to come out on top,” Mango said. “I just felt sluggish out there, but even on your worst days, you’ve still got to come out. You have to execute and find a way to make your stuff work.”
Nine other WCAP wrestlers were named to the 2011 U.S. National Team by virtue of their top-three finishes in Oklahoma City.
In a rematch of the 2011 U.S. Open Greco-Roman finals at 60 kilograms/132 pounds, two-time World Team member Spc. Jeremiah Davis lost in two periods to top-seeded Joe Betterman of the Sunkist Kids in a battle of former Northern Michigan University teammates.
“Even though Jeremiah came up short in the finals tonight, I’ll take that any day because he was scoring on his feet,” Lewis said. “He was getting after it. He’s got the talent to be on that team.”
Spc. John Lorenz defeated WCAP teammate Spc. Justin Millard at 96 kilograms/211.5 pounds to win the challenge tournament on Saturday.
“I knew that was going to be bittersweet no matter how it went because somebody was going to win and somebody was going to lose for the Army,” Lewis said.
Lorenz lost two straight matches in the Saturday night finals against 2005 World bronze medalist Justin Ruiz, a six-time U.S. World Team member.
Sgt. Iris Smith, 31, a 2005 World champion, lost the women’s 72-kilogram/158.5-pound freestyle finale to Gator Wrestling Club’s Ali Bernard, 25, who finished fifth at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
“Iris just didn’t pull the trigger,” Lewis said. “She’s not sticking to her game plan.”
Spc. Faruk Sahin, a two-time World Team member, finished third in the 66-kilo Greco class with a 1-0, 2-0 victory over NYAC’s Ben Sanchez.
Spc. Marco Lara defeated Donovan Depatto of the U.S. Marine Corps 3-0, 1-0 for third place in the 60-kilogram/132-pound Greco division.
“I’m excited for him,” Lewis said. “This is his first national team and we haven’t seen him at his best yet. He’s getting better every tournament.”
Spc. Jermaine Hodge took third place in the 55-kilogram/121-pound Greco division with a 3-0, 1-0 victory over Max Nowry of the New York Athletic Club.
“Unfortunately, Hodge lost his first bout, but he came back to crush everybody and take third in that weight class,” Lewis said.
Spc. Othella Lucas took third in the women’s 63-kilogram/138.75-pound freestyle division with a 3-0, 0-1, 1-0 victory over NYAC’s Veronica Carlson.
“I’m happy for her making her first national team,” Lewis said. “Because the women only have four weight classes [in the World Championships], she had either go up to 63 from 59 [kilos] or go down from 59 to 55. She chose to go up and she’s been working hard and lifting hard. She pushes herself.
“Othella made the national team so that lets you know she’s in the fight. She has a good chance of making the Olympic team.”
All in all, Lewis was encouraged by the Soldiers’ progress.
“We put 12 on the National Team, with some first-timers,” he said. “We put three on the World Team. We’re making progress as a group. I wish we could have put one or two more on there tonight, five would have been real nice, but we’re in the game.
“It’s not a wish list, it’s a do list.”

OKLAHOMA CITY – Three U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program wrestlers earned berths in the FILA Wrestling World Championships and nine others made the national team in the 2011 U.S. World Team Trials on June 10-11 at Cox Convention Center.

Spc. Faruk Sahin, a two-time World Team member, finished third in the 66-kilo Greco class with a 1-0, 2-0 victory over NYAC’s Ben Sanchez.
Spc. Marco Lara defeated Donovan Depatto of the U.S. Marine Corps 3-0, 1-0 for third place in the 60-kilogram/132-pound Greco division.
“I’m excited for him,” Lewis said. “This is his first national team and we haven’t seen him at his best yet. He’s getting better every tournament.”
Spc. Jermaine Hodge took third place in the 55-kilogram/121-pound Greco division with a 3-0, 1-0 victory over Max Nowry of the New York Athletic Club.
“Unfortunately, Hodge lost his first bout, but he came back to crush everybody and take third in that weight class,” Lewis said.
Spc. Othella Lucas took third in the women’s 63-kilogram/138.75-pound freestyle division with a 3-0, 0-1, 1-0 victory over NYAC’s Veronica Carlson.
“I’m happy for her making her first national team,” Lewis said. “Because the women only have four weight classes [in the World Championships], she had either go up to 63 from 59 [kilos] or go down from 59 to 55. She chose to go up and she’s been working hard and lifting hard. She pushes herself.
“Othella made the national team so that lets you know she’s in the fight. She has a good chance of making the Olympic team.”
All in all, Lewis was encouraged by the Soldiers’ progress.
“We put 12 on the National Team, with some first-timers,” he said. “We put three on the World Team. We’re making progress as a group. I wish we could have put one or two more on there tonight, five would have been real nice, but we’re in the game.
“It’s not a wish list, it’s a do list.”

Three Soldiers earn berths in Wrestling World Championships

OKLAHOMA CITY – Three U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program wrestlers earned berths in the FILA Wrestling World Championships and nine others made the national team in the 2011 U.S. World Team Trials on June 10-11 at Cox Convention Center.
Sgt. 1st Class Dremiel Byers earned a berth in the World Championships for the eighth time by defeating WCAP teammate Spc. Timothy Taylor in two straight matches during the best-of-three finals for the 120-kilogram/264.5-pound Greco-Roman crown.
Spc. Justin Lester made the national team for the fifth time with a two-match victory over WCAP teammate Staff Sgt. Glenn Garrison in the 66-kilogram/145.5-pound Greco-Roman division.
Spc. Spenser Mango earned his third trip to the World Championships by defeating Minnesota Storm’s Paul Tellgren in two matches for the 55-kilogram/121-pound Greco title.
Those three Soldiers will represent the Army on Team USA at the 2011 FILA Wrestling World Championships, scheduled for Sept. 12-18 in Istanbul, Turkey.
Byers, 36, a native of Kings Mountain, N.C., is the lone U.S. Greco-Roman wrestler who has won gold, silver and bronze medals at the World Championships.
“I just want to make sure I get the medals that nobody said I could get, and especially the one I promised my grandfather,” said Byers, who vowed to win an Olympic medal for his late grandfather, Theodore Byers, before he died. “Chase the medals, and the right one will come. That’s our philosophy with the Olympics.”
Olympic gold is the driving force behind Byers’ eighth appearance in the World Championships on the long road to London for the 2012 Olympic Games.
“Maybe it’s the stage,” he explained of the difference between a World and Olympic medal. “I’ve got my promise coating that medal, and the fact that the world is watching. It’s the one that has eluded me. I want to win a Grand Prix, I want to wrestle in Iran one time, and I want an Olympic gold medal – not necessarily in that order.”
Byers said he derives inspiration from younger Soldiers in the WCAP wrestling room to help him keep reinventing his game.
“I’ve been doing a little bit more on my feet and just getting more aggressive in parterre – going back to the basics of things that truly work, not holding back on either side and not waiting for a perfect lock – just firing,” Byers said. “You might even see some throws this year. It might be those young puppies in the room because they’re eager, and it carries over.
“I’m just fortunate to be a part of this program,” Byers added. “This program is a blessing in my life. To train and represent the United States Army on this level in this sport while the world is watching, I could never be happier.”
Although he’s already entertaining the idea of coaching, Byers refused to call this his final U.S. World Team.
“It’s a long road and I’ve enjoyed the scenery along the way. I’m having a lot of fun with these young guys on the team. They’ve sparked new life in me, I guess,” Byers said. “You never know. If they drag me kicking and screaming into the pasture, I guess I’ll have to go, but they’re going to have to push me first.”
Lester, 27, who won bronze medals at the 2006 and 2007 World Championships, took a year off from wrestling after competing at the 2009 Worlds. He returned to competition as a member of the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program.
“I feel good, but I still feel like a step behind where I used to be,” Lester said after defeating 37-year-old Garrison. “I don’t know if that’s just taking that year off, being off the mat, or maybe age is starting to catch up because I have an explosive style. But I still feel like I can wrestle and feel like I can win a gold medal, so I feel good going into the World Championships.”
Lester can’t get over the patience and dedication of five-time U.S. World Team Trials runner-up Garrison.
“Glenn is a great teammate,” Lester said. “I’ve had very few teammates like him in my whole wrestling career. You need somebody to push you in the room, right? I push him. He pushes me. That’s what we do. And when we step on the mat, whoever wins, that’s how it goes.”
While Byers derives inspiration from younger WCAP teammates, Lester capitalizes on the work ethic of veteran Garrison, who battled through Friday’s challenge tournament to get a shot at reigning national champion Lester on Friday night.
“I don’t know how he does it,” said Lester, who is 10 years younger than Garrison. “I come into the room holding my back coming in, and he’s jumping all over the place. I don’t know if he put some voodoo hex on me or took 10 years from me or what, but he’s a great guy and a great teammate. He definitely pushes me.
“I love WCAP. I love everything the Army is about. It’s given me a great place to train and represent my country in that way and to give our troops overseas something to be proud about while they’re over there fighting. They can look to us and say we’ve got guys out there kicking butts on the mat and in other athletics. It definitely has given me something else to wrestle for so I’m grateful for the opportunity.”
“Iron sharpens iron,” WCAP wrestling head coach Shon Lewis added. “Your team is only as good as your room.”
Mango, 24, who finished eighth in the 2008 Olympic Games and ninth in the 2009 World Championships, struggled to reach the finals in Oklahoma City.
“Yeah, today was definitely one of my rougher days in a long time in the U.S. – just glad I was able to come out on top,” Mango said. “I just felt sluggish out there, but even on your worst days, you’ve still got to come out. You have to execute and find a way to make your stuff work.”
Nine other WCAP wrestlers were named to the 2011 U.S. National Team by virtue of their top-three finishes in Oklahoma City.
In a rematch of the 2011 U.S. Open Greco-Roman finals at 60 kilograms/132 pounds, two-time World Team member Spc. Jeremiah Davis lost in two periods to top-seeded Joe Betterman of the Sunkist Kids in a battle of former Northern Michigan University teammates.
“Even though Jeremiah came up short in the finals tonight, I’ll take that any day because he was scoring on his feet,” Lewis said. “He was getting after it. He’s got the talent to be on that team.”
Spc. John Lorenz defeated WCAP teammate Spc. Justin Millard at 96 kilograms/211.5 pounds to win the challenge tournament on Saturday.
“I knew that was going to be bittersweet no matter how it went because somebody was going to win and somebody was going to lose for the Army,” Lewis said.
Lorenz lost two straight matches in the Saturday night finals against 2005 World bronze medalist Justin Ruiz, a six-time U.S. World Team member.
Sgt. Iris Smith, 31, a 2005 World champion, lost the women’s 72-kilogram/158.5-pound freestyle finale to Gator Wrestling Club’s Ali Bernard, 25, who finished fifth at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
“Iris just didn’t pull the trigger,” Lewis said. “She’s not sticking to her game plan.”
Spc. Faruk Sahin, a two-time World Team member, finished third in the 66-kilo Greco class with a 1-0, 2-0 victory over NYAC’s Ben Sanchez.
Spc. Marco Lara defeated Donovan Depatto of the U.S. Marine Corps 3-0, 1-0 for third place in the 60-kilogram/132-pound Greco division.
“I’m excited for him,” Lewis said. “This is his first national team and we haven’t seen him at his best yet. He’s getting better every tournament.”
Spc. Jermaine Hodge took third place in the 55-kilogram/121-pound Greco division with a 3-0, 1-0 victory over Max Nowry of the New York Athletic Club.
“Unfortunately, Hodge lost his first bout, but he came back to crush everybody and take third in that weight class,” Lewis said.
Spc. Othella Lucas took third in the women’s 63-kilogram/138.75-pound freestyle division with a 3-0, 0-1, 1-0 victory over NYAC’s Veronica Carlson.
“I’m happy for her making her first national team,” Lewis said. “Because the women only have four weight classes [in the World Championships], she had either go up to 63 from 59 [kilos] or go down from 59 to 55. She chose to go up and she’s been working hard and lifting hard. She pushes herself.
