Associated Press ATLANTA — A black fighter pilot who fought for the French Foreign Legion dur- ing World War I was honored with a statue at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. The bronze statue of Eugene Bullard was unveiled Wednesday at the base near Warner Robins in front of a crowd that included his descendants, U.S. troops and French officials, the Atlanta Journal-Con- stitution reported. Bullard was from Georgia but went to Europe in the early 20th century after his father was nearly lynched, the newspaper reported. He joined France’s air service after fighting the Germans during World War I. The U.S. military was segregated at the time and would not accept him as a pilot because of his race. Bullard in 1994 was posthumously commissioned second lieu- tenant in the U.S. Air Force. “You must remember that years ago, most people were pretty sure that if you had black skin, you were probably pretty stupid, you probably couldn’t fly a sophis- ticated machine like an airplane,” Hillard Pouncy Jr. said. “This guy proved you can.” Pouncy, 97, was one of the original

WEST PALM BEACH FL — Two men have been charged with illegally dump- ing raw sewage down Florida manholes, spilling some down sidewalks. West Palm Beach police said Thomas Fucarile, who owns Ad- vantage Rooter, and Lavoris Gris- by, who is his driver, were charged Friday with three counts of illegal dumping of human waste. A witness recorded three inci- dents on his cellphone. One of the alleged incidents shows a worker pump out community septic tanks at a condo and repeatedly empty the content into a city manhole. According to a police report, the truck held 3,500 gallons of sewage, weighing about 15 tons. A witness said some of the raw sewage spilled everywhere. 2 arrested after 57 dogs seized by officials

BY KRISTIE RIEKEN Associated Press HOUSTON — The Rockets are back home in Houston, looking to leave behind the distractions from their trip to Asia. Their two games in Japan were overshadowed by the aftermath of a tweet by general manager Daryl Morey in support for anti- government protesters in Hong Kong, angering fans and officials in China. In their first practice since re- turning, the Rockets insisted they wouldn’t let the fallout distract them from preparing from the season. “Guys can handle it,” coach Mike D’Antoni said. “We still got good work in. Everything’s fine, but you know what happened (is) FRED GREENSLADE, THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP regrettable, and it happened, but The Jets’ Blake Wheeler, center, collides into Penguins’ Kris Letang, left, and goaltender Tristan Jarry during the third period on Sunday in as I said, our work will get done.” Winnipeg, Manitoba.
