BRENHAM (AP) —
Blue Bells chief executive
has told shareholders that
Texas billionaire Sid Bass
will lend the company up
to $125 million and that
the investment is essential
for the popular ice-cream
maker to remain in business.
The Bass family would
get a one-third stake in the
company struggling to recover
after listeria contamination
forced a crippling national
recall in April.
The Wall Street Journal
reviewed a letter that CEO
and President Paul Kruse
sent Monday to investors
saying Blue Bell was unable
to raise enough capital from
existing shareholders to
remain operational.
The company on Tuesday
announced that Bass would
become an investor, but no
terms were revealed.
Company spokesman Joe
Robertson on Friday declined
to comment, saying Blue Bell
is privately held and doesn’t
discuss financial matters.

outreach job after years of
bouncing between temp work
back home in Illinois, leaving
friends doubting authorities
who say she killed herself.
Interviews with friends as
well as Sandra Blands own
words in online videos about
racial injustice and police
brutality present a picture of
a young woman on the cusp
of finding her niche in life.
She landed a perfect job. She
had just gone on a joyful road
trip to Memphis with her
mother. She had a voice and a
following on social media and
was active in her community.
Even after an online video
surfaced showing the 28-year-
old talking in March about
depression and post-traumatic
stress disorder, those who
knew her said she would not
have taken her own life — not
even over the confrontational
traffic stop that led to her
arrest, which mirrored the
ones she railed against online.
“She was in good spirits.
She was looking forward to
what was next,” said close
friend and mentor LaVaughn
Mosley, 57, adding that he
was unaware of any struggles
with depression.
Bland grew up in
Naperville, Illinois, 30 miles
southwest of Chicago. Known
in her family as Sandy B, she
was the fourth of five tight-
knit sisters. She was active in
her family’s church and was
the only one of her sisters
to go to college out of state.
She studied at the College of
Agriculture at Prairie View
A&M University.
It was there in her freshman
year that she met Mosley, who
recruited her for a job as a 4-H
camp counselor. For three
summers, Bland shepherded
kids between horseback

On this date:
In 1947, President Harry S.
Truman signed a Presidential
Succession Act which placed
the speaker of the House
and the Senate president
pro tempore next in the line
of succession after the vice
president.
In A.D. 64, the Great Fire
of Rome began, consuming
most of the city for about a
week. (Some blamed the fire
on Emperor Nero, who in
turn blamed Christians.)
In 1792, American naval
hero John Paul Jones died in
Paris at age 45.
In 1872, Britain enacted
voting by secret ballot.

Huntsville, Texas.
Sometime after graduating
in 2009 Bland returned to
Illinois, aching to be closer
to family, but bouncing
between temp jobs.
In January, Bland began
posting a series of cellphone
videos to her Facebook
page under the title “Sandy
Speaks” in which she
groused about everything
from inattentive parents
and police mistreatment of
blacks to what she called the
“generation of heads down”
— all of us with our heads
buried in our smartphones.
She described the videos
— many of them rambling
and off the cuff and shot in
her bedroom or on lunch
breaks in her car — as a
calling from God and urged
people to share them on
social media, saying she
believed she was “here to
change history.”
Then, around halfway
through the series, on
March 1, she begins a video
by apologizing for a two-
week absence.
“I am suffering from
something that some of
you all may be dealing with
right now,” she says into the
camera. “It’s a little bit of
depression as well as PTSD.
I’ve been real stressed out over
these past couple of weeks.”
In Chicago on Thursday,
her sisters told reporters
In 1925, Adolf Hitler
published the first volume of
his autobiographical screed,
“Mein Kampf (My Struggle).”
In 1932, the United States
and Canada signed a treaty
to develop the St. Lawrence
Seaway.
In 1976, at the Montreal
Olympics, Romanian
gymnast Nadia Comaneci
received the first-ever perfect
score of 10 with her routine
on uneven parallel bars.
In 1984, gunman James
Huberty opened fire at
a McDonald’s fast food
restaurant in San Ysidro,
California, killing 21 people
before being shot dead by
police. Walter F. Mondale won
the Democratic presidential
nomination in San Francisco.
nothing in Bland’s
background pointed to a
troubled mental state.
In the past few weeks,
Bland applied for a job back
at Prairie View A&M with the
family and consumer sciences
section of its cooperative
extension program. Staffers
there work with underserved
residents on issues ranging
from parenting and money
management to nutrition
and wellness.
She drove through the
night from Chicago for a
July 9 interview, dropping
her bags off at Mosley’s place
in Prairie View. She got the
job and returned the next
day to fill out paperwork.
On her way back she was
stopped by police for failing
to signal a lane change.
Authorities say she
“became argumentative and
uncooperative” and kicked
an officer. Mosely has talked
to witnesses who say an
officer dragged her out of the
car’s window and slammed
her head into the ground.
In a phone call to Mosely
after her arrest, he says she
sounded upbeat despite the
ordeal.
After a weekend in jail she
was found dead in her cell
on Monday. Authorities say
she hanged herself with a
plastic bag.
“It just makes no sense,”
Mosely said. “Sandy was
a soldier; she wasn’t fazed
about it.”
“my cup of
tea,” “not my cup of tea,” and
“not for all the tea in China.”
Actually the drink known
as tea was first called “char”
and “cha.” It is believed the
Dutch adventurer Jan Huygen
van Linschoten was first to
speak of a drink we know as
tea while during a voyage into
East and West India in 1598.
In reference to it, he stated:
“The aforesaid warme water
is made with the poder of a
certaine hearbe called Chaa.”
Since then a few phrases
became commonly used with
the term “tea” in the United
Kingdom. The two now in
consideration pertains to both
what is positively desired and
what is not desired. They are:
“My cup of tea,” and “Not my
cup of tea.”
In the early 20th century
the expression: “a cup of tea”
was often used in referring
to a close friend. William de

“[In England] You don’t say
someone gives you a pain
in the neck. You just remark
‘He’s not my cup of tea.”’

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
Morgan, the Edwardian artist to be returning to her alma
and novelist, used the phrase mater to begin a community
in his novel Somehow Good,
in 1908.
People or things with
which one felt a liking began
to be called my cup of tea’
in the 1930s. Nancy Mitford
appears to be the first to
record that term in print, in
the comic novel Christmas
Pudding, 1932:
I’m not at all sure I
wouldn’t rather marry Aunt
Loudie. She’s even more my
cup of tea in many ways.
With the high regard
for tea, most of the early
references to a cup of tea
were as a description in
a positive manner. The
expression is more often used
in the ‘not my cup of tea
form these days. This negative
usage began in WWII. An
early example of it is found
in Hal Boyle’s “Leaves From
a War Correspondent’s
Notebook” column, which
described English life and
manners for an American
audience. The column
provided the American
counterpart to Alister Cooke’s
Letter from America and was
syndicated in various U.S.
papers. In 1944, he wrote:
