WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Terminal illness has touched my family. I am sure it has an overwhelming majority of your families.
I had two grandparents die of cancer. I know that if there had been a drug that could have helped, even if it had not been fully tested, I would have given anything for my grandmother and grandfather to give it a shot.
An extra week, month, year or years of life mean everything.
That is why the Right to Try Act is so important. Right-to-try allows terminally ill patients access to medicine which is still in clinical trials and has passed the first phase of the Food and Drug Administration's approval process.
The House and the Senate have each passed their own versions of right-to-try. Now they are trying to come up with a common bill which can pass both chambers and then be signed by President Donald Trump.
One of the criticisms against right-to-try, is it may harm patients since these drugs could have unknown side effects and the FDA wouldn't have full access to monitoring their use. However, the House version of this bill, passed in March, addresses these concerns and mandates that any negative side effects from the experimental drugs be immediately reported.
Forty states and counting have passed some varying version of right-to-try laws. A federal law is needed so the same rules apply across the country.
Here is the bottom line: right-to-try could save, or prolong, the lives of those who are really sick. It is also a statement that in this country, we are for innovation and for giving hope where there may otherwise be none.

It would seem that everyone is pawning their wares these days. Look no further than the sheer volume of reality T.V. shows, such as Pawn Stars and Hardcore Pawn, devoted to folks who hawk their dusted-off junk to the tattooed man behind the counter. Now, however, there is a pawn shop for America's wealthiest, although the rep behind the counter is sure to be much better dressed.
Britain's wood-paneled Suttons & Robertsons recently opened a flagship store in New York City's midtown. This is not your run-of-the-mill pawn shop. The showroom of the 240 year-old company is filled with glass cases and dazzling objects. We spotted, for example, a 14-carat diamond-encrusted platinum clutch, and a pair of 118-carat Morganite earringsavailable for-sale and with prices upon request. (Neither, we were told, is because the borrower is in default. They simply are prepared to sell – at the right price.) In the back room, there is an enormous 30,000 pound safe dangling from the steel rafters, so its weight doesn't buckle the floor.
The company secures short-term loans to wealthy individuals backed by everything from Rolex watches, Aston Martin sports cars, and priceless works of art and antiques. "We underwrite the object, not the borrower," says Jeffrey Weiss, chief executive officer of DFC Global (ticker: DLLR), owner of several payday lenders, pawn store chains and now Suttons & Robertsons.
They are not entirely alone, of course. Everyone from U.S. Trust to Asher Edelman are in the business, in some shape or form, of lending money to cash-poor but asset-rich art collectors. But Suttons & Robertsons is different. It brings the practices of the low-end pawn market – no credit check and fast money – to the supposedly rich.
At a price, of course. To get a loan, it only takes verification of the object's authenticity, some document signing, before a Suttons & Robertsons representative takes the object into custody, until the borrower has repaid the interest and principal. These loans are regulated by state law, so interest rates are capped at 5% a month, but Weiss says, depending on the object the average is 1.9% to 3.9% monthly. Needless to say, any "rich" person who needs to borrow money at an annual 46.8% rate is in a rather desperate spot.
DFC bought Suttons & Robertsons in 2010 for about $25 million, with the idea of rolling out the London-based brand in the U.S. and other markets. He is confident about selling the Suttons & Robertsons brand to the world, he says, because wealthy individuals, now more than ever, are buying hard assets like real estate, art, jewelry and gold. Post-financial crisis, wealthy individuals are looking for a safer haven to store their wealthy, Weiss says. Umm, yes, that's true. But leveraging those assets for cash at almost usury lending rates rather defeats the "safe haven" aspect of the original purchase.
There is reason for Weiss' cheerful optimism, however. Barclays research suggests that wealthy individuals worldwide hold an average of 9.6% of their total net worth in tangible assets. Meanwhile, high-net worth folks in potentially volatile countries like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and China hold 18% in such treasures. Weiss plans to expand in the U.S. first, but Barcelona and Stockholm are soon to come, with Singapore and Mumbai on the radar thereafter. The pawn space, it appears, is fast becoming crowded, as businesses like Ultrapawn, iPawn, Pawngo and Borro come online. None, of course, have the storied history of Suttons & Robertsons, which has supposedly dealt with certain U.K. aristocrats for generations. It is perhaps best known for refusing to turn over to authorities the jewels pawned by the notorious 1930s money launderer Alexandre Stavisky.
Weiss says the firm's typical customer are folks with "lumpy incomes," like investment bankers who live for their hefty bonuses, or entrepreneurs that need immediate cash to finance their business' operations or take advantage of an investment opportunity. In the past, Suttons & Robertsons has been approached for a loan to make down-payments to purchase real estate, meet unexpected tax liabilities, and, in a stressful-sounding arrangement, covering advertising fees before the secured object was sold at auction.
Suttons & Robertsons is the lender of last resort. Weiss recalls a man who was presented with a business opportunity that for one reason or another had to close immediately. Suttons & Robertsons secured a loan for $250,000 against his wife's diamond jewelry collection. The deal closed the same day. The entrepreneur, a month or two later, secured a conventional loan, paid off the "bridge loan's" principal and interest, and the jewelry was promptly returned to his wife.
With the cost of Suttons & Robertsons' money approaching 50% in some cases – when wealthy folks in good standing can get a loan for around 3% from their private banks – it's understandable why most of the objects are paid back in three-and-a-half months or so, even though New York State law dictates that these loans can be extended to about 15 months. Weiss says 30% of borrowers are repeat customers. Your guess is as good as ours whether that's a vindication of the service's merit or the relative desperation of the borrowers.
For items that are easily valued, like a Rolex or Patek Philippe watch, Suttons & Robertsons can wire thousands of dollars to your account within the day. A 17 Century Charles II antique chair might take a week or two for an expert to sort out its valuation. Weiss' pitch is that the process is "safe, discreet and fast;" he goes on about how banks can't move quickly enough, and how credit cards might have constricting limits that can be equally costly.
Should you default, of course, the object securing the loan is forfeited, so think twice before you pony-up the Picasso for fast cash. Weiss assures us that 95% of borrowers reclaim their objects, but for the few that don't, the price is multiples higher than the stiff rate.

At the end of the discussion in "My Mother's House Part II: Building Our Earth Sheltered House," the building was roofed in and ready for the application of waterproofing materials. And—because the sealing process is generally considered to be the most critical step in earth-sheltered construction—we announced that we'd dedicate most of this issue's story to a report of how we chose to keep water out of our subterranean structure.
The house's split-level design—which provides for earth bermng on three sides and a partial sod roof—presents two separate challenges to the would-be waterproofer. The vertical bermed walls must shed both surface and ground water (including drainage from the high land behind the building's dug-in location) and resist the pressure of some 13 1/2 feet of earth and rock backfill. The sod roof, on the other hand, will gather water only from direct rainfall, and won't suffer any great hydrostatic pressure. However, since its surface is nearly horizontal, the roof's natural drainage won't be as thorough as will that of the bermed walls.
Consequently, we decided to use two different kinds of waterproofing. And although either of the substances selected could conceivably have been used in both applications, we think that each material's unique qualities make it particularly suitable to the separate task for which we chose it. Besides, by working with two different products, we've gained twice as much information to pass on to you.
Rubber on the Roof
Specialized elastomeric membranes have been used in conventional built-up roofing applications for quite some time, and several rubber manufacturers have elected to market the products as earth-shelter waterproofing solutions, primarily in response to the burgeoning demand caused by new enthusiasm for the "underground" homes. We contacted the Carlisle Rubber Company and investigated several of that firm's compounds. At the recommendation of regional representative Marshall Abee, we opted for the company's 0.060" EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) material, which is resistant to degradation from ultraviolet light and remains flexible through a wide range of temperatures.
With Mr. Abee's direction—and the assistance of workers from a local roofing company who were interested in learning the procedure—we laid down the rubber mat on the to-be-sodded surface and sealed it in a little more than one morning's time. The membrane was rolled out atop 1/2" particle-board sheathing, with protective patches of the rubber added at each junction of the 4' X 8' wooden panels to prevent the possibility of a corner's lifting and puncturing the EPDM. Two different adhesives are used when working with Carlisle's elastomeric membrane. One cement bonds the EPDM to itself (for use in situations where two sheets of the mat must be joined to span a wide roof), and the second glue sticks the rubber to other materials.
We found that the EPDM waterproofing wasn't much more difficult to lay down than a carpet in one's living room. The cut-to-length rolls can be relatively heavy (ours weighed about 400 pounds), but unfurling them is easy once they're in position.
After it's spread in place, the membrane must be squared up, smoothed, and thoroughly sealed—with rubber cement—along all of its edges. We lapped the sheet up both the parapet and the second story wall of our building, cemented it along both sides, and then applied flashing to insure that a minimum of water would get to the seal. (The edge-securing process is particularly important, since a leak along the perimeter could allow water to migrate beneath the rubber and appear at some other point inside the house. Tracking down such a problem can be quite difficult.)
Mud on the Walls
Though elastomeric membranes can be used on walls, the procedure required in such cases is considerably more difficult than is that used when working on a horizontal surface. The weight of the material makes rolling it up (or down!) a wall a struggle, and the difficulty is increased by the need to prevent the rubber from being stretched (since it will eventually return to its original size). In addition, the sheets must be affixed to the vertical surface as they're put up.
We considered several different materials for waterproofing our bermed walls, but—after studying the properties of the various products—decided to try a trowel-on-bentonite clay produced by Effective Building Products, Inc. As described by the Bentonize system patent holder, Dr. Bryan "Mac" McGroarty, bentonite is a clay mineral which was created—geologists speculate—as the result of a series of violent volcanic explosions that took place in the Aleutian Islands about 150,000,000 years ago. It is thought that winds carried the ash from the eruptions in a southeasterly direction, and that the material was eventually deposited in a highly alkaline sea which then existed in the Black Hills region of South Dakota and Wyoming.
Bentonite is valuable, in today's marketplace, primarily because of its remarkable reaction to water: An electrical charge, which is an inherent property of the platelike structure of sodium montmorillonite (the particular form of bentonite used to make Bentonize), is partially discharged to surrounding water ... which causes the plates to separate slightly, producing a gelling of the material. Therefore, bentonite clays tend to absorb a small amount of water—which could cause the mineral to expand to as much as 22 times its normal size if it were unconfined—and then become nearly impervious to further penetration by the liquid.
The expansive clay is also quite stable. It can be wetted and dried an indefinite number of times (after all, who knows how many such cycles the material has gone through In the last 150 million years?), is unaffected by sunlight, and can be frozen, heated to over 400°F, or even exposed to ionizing radiation without losing its useful properties.
The challenge that faced Dr. McGroarty—when he began to work with bentonite—was to develop agents that, when added to the material, would both help it stick to walls and keep it stable (that is, unexpanded without drying) for packaging and application. As a result of his research, Bentonize employs a patented mixture of organic resins (from soybeans, for example) and alcohol, which keeps it workable. The product is entirely nontoxic and requires a minimum of energy to produce.
Bentonize is available in either trowel- or spray-on form, but the hand-applied type is generally chosen by do-it-yourselfers. (Effective Building Products encourages owner-builders to apply their own waterproofing.) The gray mud is scooped from five-gallon buckets and applied like stucco (with a hawk and trowel) to a depth of about 3/16" (small imperfections can be overlooked, since the bentonite will expand to fill minor gaps). One bucket of Bentonize will cover about 60 square feet of wall, and will remain workable for approximately two hours after application.
Under Dr. McGroarty's supervision, our crew applied the waterproofing to the bermed walls of our house in less than a day, and we had to cover the clay quickly with a protective layer of polyethylene before a thunderstorm blew in. (If Bentonize is exposed to water before the backfilling is done, the material will expand and slough off the wall.)
The following morning we stuck expanded polystyrene insulation to the "mud blanket" using dabs of fresh Bentonize as glue (the boards could have been applied directly to the waterproofing if we'd been prepared to backfill immediately). Though the insulative panels will add to the thermal efficiency of our house, their primary function is to protect the Bentonize from being damaged by rocks in the fill earth. Still, we used two inches of polystyrene instead of the standard one inch when coating the upper six feet of the waterproofing in order to reduce the loss of heat to the cool (in the winter) top layers of dirt.
We were very happy with how easy the Bentonize clay was to apply, and we're quite optimistic about its performance. The material's flexibility should allow it to seal any small cracks that may form in the block wall, and—unlike many asphaltic preparations—its life span promises to be effectively unlimited. But we're especially enthusiastic about the company's interest in (and advocacy of) do-it-yourself application. We know of no other firm selling waterproofing materials that actually encourages people to do the work themselves.
Of course, the effectiveness of both the waterproofing systems we've chosen is yet to be proved. We've had our second consecutive dry summer here in western North Carolina, so there's been little moisture to test the sealants since we put them on. We're confident, though, that by spring we'll be able to make sound judgments (based, we hope, on dry toes) concerning the two products.
Second Story
Because of the time spent on waterproofing and backfilling our earth-sheltered structure, we've yet to complete the second story framing. Having made progress only on one end of the house, a full review will have to wait.
We're also busy finishing up the berming—a job which includes placing cool tubes, drainage, and plumbing mains—so you can be sure that we'll be giving you the lowdown on those important procedures in our next installment. Don't miss it!

A scene, which could have been lifted from the classic Marlon
Brando motorcycle gang movie, "The Wild Ones," took place opposite the Sipes Funeral Home at Harrisonville on Saturday afternoon when a group of approximately
20 motorcycle riders became enraged following an incident involving the driver of a pickup truck. Police reported that both the truck and the group of cyclists were travelling west on Route 30. The driver had passed some of the cyclists and then stopped to allow another truck to make a left turn. The truck was then surrounded by the cyclists and the driver was "set upon" and the headlight of his truck broken. What sparked off the confrontation between the area man and the cyclists was not reported by police, but no charges were filed and the cyclists continued on their way without further incident.
