The zumba event drew an eclectic mix of people and was very exciting to host with a lot of positive energy going around, An- drews said. If the event does well, there is the possibility of it becoming an annual event, she said. The group had raised around $400 in admissions and hoped to get about an- other $100 from the raffle for about $500 raised.

They urged the public to reach out to police if they recognized him. The two men believed to be the sui- cide attackers apparently were wearing dark gloves on their left hands, possi- bly to hide detonators. In police raids Tuesday across Belgium, authori- ties later found a nail-filled bomb, chemical products and an Islamic State flag in a house in the Schaerbeek neighborhood, the state prosecutors' office said in a statement. In its claim of respon- sibility, the Islamic State group said its members detonated suicide vests both at the airport and in the subway, where many passengers fled to safety down dark tunnels filled with hazy smoke from the explosion. A small child wailed, and commuters used cell phones to light their way out. European security offi- cials have been bracing for a major attack for weeks and warned that IS was ac- tively preparing to strike. The arrest Friday of Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, heightened those fears, as investigators said many more people were involved than originally thought and that some are still on the loose. "In this time of tragedy, this black moment for our country, I appeal to every- one to remain calm but also to show solidarity," said Belgian Prime Min- ister Charles Michel, who announced three days of mourning in his country's deadliest terror strike. "Last year it was Paris. Today it is Brussels. It's the same attacks," said French President Francois Hol- lande. Shockwaves from the at- tacks crossed Europe and the Atlantic, prompting heightened security at air- ports and other sites. Belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level, shut the airport through Wednesday and ordered a city-wide lockdown, de- ploying about 500 sol- diers onto Brussels' largely empty streets to bolster po- lice checkpoints. France and Belgium both rein- forced border security. Justice ministers and interior ministers from across the 28-nation EU planned an emergency meeting, possibly Thurs- day morning, to assess the fallout. The subway blast hit beneath buildings that normally host EU meetings and house the union's top leadership. Medical officials treating the wounded said some vic- tims lost limbs, while oth- ers suffered burns or deep gashes from shattered glass or suspected nails packed in with the explo- sives. Among the most se- riously wounded were sev- eral children. The bombings came barely four months after suicide attackers based in Brussels' heavily Muslim Molenbeek district slaugh- tered 130 people at a Paris nightspots, and intelli- gence agencies had warned for months a follow-up strike was inevitable. Paris fugitive Abdeslam was ar- rested in Molenbeek. A high-level Belgian ju- dicial official said a connec- tion by Abdeslam to Tues- day's attacks is "a lead to pursue." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Abdeslam has told inves- tigators he was planning to "restart something" from Brussels, said Belgian For- eign Minister Didier Reyn- ders. He said Sunday that authorities took the claim seriously because "we found a lot of weapons, heavy weapons in the first investigations and we have seen a new network of peo- ple around him in Brus- sels." While Belgian authori- ties knew that some kind of extremist act was being prepared in Europe, "we never could have imagined something of this scale," Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said. Officials at the airport in the Brussels suburb of Zaventem said police had discovered a Kalashnikov assault rifle and an explo- sives-packed vest aban- doned at the facility, offer- ing one potential lead for forensic evidence. Bomb disposal experts safely dis- mantled that explosive de- vice. A U.S. administration of- ficial said American intel- ligence officers were work- ing with their European counterparts to try to iden- tify the apparently skilled bomb-maker or makers in- volved in the Brussels at- tacks and to identify any links to the bombs used in Paris. The official, who wasn't authorized to speak pub- licly on the investigations and demanded anonymity, told The Associated Press that at least one of the bombs at the airport was suspected to have been packed into a suitcase left in the departures hall. Several Americans were among the wounded, in- cluding an Air Force lieu- tenant colonel stationed in the Netherlands, his wife and four children who were at the airport. Mormon church officials, meanwhile, said three of its missionaries from Utah were seriously injured in the blasts and were hos- pitalized. Three intelligence offi- cials in Iraq told the AP that they had warned Eu- ropean colleagues last month of IS plans to at- tack airports and trains, although Belgium wasn't specified as a likely target. The officials, who monitor activities in the IS strong- hold of Raqqa, Syria, said Brussels may have become a target because of the ar- rest of Abdeslam. One of the officials — all of whom spoke on condi- tion of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about their knowl- edge of IS operations — said Iraqi intelligence of- ficials believe that three other IS activists remain at large in Brussels and are plotting other suicide- bomb attacks. European leaders al- ready struggling to cope with a wave of migration from the war-torn Middle East said they must rely on better anti-terrorist intelli- gence work to identify an enemy that wears no uni- form and seeks the softest of targets. They empha- sized that Europe must re- main tolerant toward Mus- lims as they seek to iden- tify those on the violent extremist fringe. Leaders of the 28-nation EU said in a joint statement that Tuesday's assault on Brussels "only strengthens our resolve to defend Euro- pean values and tolerance from the attacks of the in- tolerant." The U.N. lead official for Middle East refugees, Amin Awad, warned that Europe faced an increasing risk of racist retaliation against Muslim immigrant com- munities. "Any sort of hos- tilities because of the Brus- sels attack or Paris attack is misplaced," Awad said. Reflecting the trauma of the moment, Belgian of- ficials offered uncertain casualty totals at both the airport and subway. Po- lice conducted controlled explosions on suspicious abandoned packages that ultimately were found to contain no explosives. The government said at least 11 people were killed at the airport and 20 on the subway, where the bomb hit an enclosed train car. Later, a security official said the overall death toll had risen to 34, without providing a breakdown of where. In the airport, video posted on social media showed people cowering on the ground in the wake of the blasts, the air acrid with smoke, windows of shops and the terminal en- trance shattered, and fallen ceiling tiles littering the blood-streaked floor. Some witnesses de- scribed hearing two dis- tinct blasts, with shouts apparently in Arabic from at least one attacker be- fore the second, bigger ex- plosion. Zach Mouzoun, who ar- rived on a flight from Ge- neva about 10 minutes be- fore the airport blasts, told France's BFM television that pipes ruptured, send- ing a cascade of water mix- ing with victims' blood. Marc Noel was about to board a Delta flight to At- lanta. The Belgian native, who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, said the first blast happened about 50 yards (meters) from him. "Peo- ple were crying, shouting, children. ... It was a horri- ble experience," he said. A random decision to pause in a shop to buy a magazine may have saved his life. Otherwise, he said, "I would probably have been in that place when the bomb went off." Anthony Deloos, an air- port worker for Swissport, which handles check-in and baggage services, said the first blast took place near the Swissport coun- ters where customers pay for overweight bags.

"When do you start your vacation?" I asked. "Well," he replied, "I'm going to take a permanent one at the end of the month." "What?" said I. "Retire? Why, you're just hitting your stride…you're in your prime!" He gazed thoughtfully for a moment out his upstairs window overlook- ing the alley behind the Crocker Bank, corner of Main and Walnut… then murmured, "I just figured the building was getting old…and my equipment was getting old." "But that's only two out of three," I protested. "Surely you're not tired of the dental business…and you could probably use the money by staying in harness." He chuckled, "Well, I think I've put in my time, and paid my dues." How- ever, the bow hunting dentist remains lean, in fine shape, and loves the great outdoors. Doc Godbolt says he opened up shop in this same building in 1931. That was two years after I was born, so I only dimly remember the event. That meant he has looked into more mouths here- abouts then any of our local veterinarians…and climbed more stairs as well. There are 31 stepsup to his 2nd story office, and if he climbed them only twice a day, five times a week, for the last 41 years…and the park service attests that it is a vertical rise of 1945 feetup the trail to the top of Mt. Lassen, then the good doctor's trips to his office over the years would "comparetoa...ahellofalotoftripstothesummit! (make a note of that for a test later). Dr. Godbolt is the only dentist I have ever visited as did my father before me. What will I do for dental service? I can't have other dentists look into my mouth and discover I brush sideways rather than up and down. This is serious! Maybe he could wait another 20 years and we could retire together. Something must be done to head off this premature decision. Write to your congressman today! … I took a hike through Dog Island Park on the north end of town, and though I have lived here just about all my life, I was seeing it for the first time…and amazed at the size of it. Very few cities have anything close to so sizeable a recreation area. Bill Dalby, head man of our local telephone company, thinks the name should be changed to "Tom Sawyer Island" to make the place sound more adventurous for kids. However, with a plethora of trees, my dog thinks it is well named, as is. … The brilliant Paul Joe Rutala graduated from the Stanford Medical School two Sundays ago, and is the youngest and smartest doctor I know. Of course he has been the smartest kidI've ever known…at least for the past20 years. * *To be continued WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2016 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
