Kyle
"Crocodile" Parmley's decision to
forgo what seemed like his destiny to represent Australia
in tae kwon do at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro
appear to have been vindicated. The 170-pound
welterweight scored a knock-out in the third round of a
mixed martial arts fight in July over former 
bodybuilding
champion and previously undefeated Ash
"Commando" Vallance. The three-time Australian
tae kwon do national champion comes from a long line of
competitors in the sport. Aunt Denise Parmely,
left, was a 10-time Australian champion, hall of fame
member and one of only four Aussies to win a medal at the
1992 Barcelona Olympics; she brought home a bronze.
Because his uncle, father, mother, younger brother and
cousins all have won Australian titles, many were
surprised when Kyle chose to leave the sport for mixed
martial arts. He trains out of Focus Martial Arts at
Mansfield, a small town in Victoria's Australian Alps.

The key to any good relationship
is communication, but Burnis "Carl" [Burnis
Carl, Frank Edward, Ambrose "Andrew," Nathan
Lord, Beecher, Jeremiah, Abel, Job, John, John] and Dorothy
Parmelee of Elmira, N.Y., will tell you it also
takes a lot of compromising. The Elmira couple, 86 and
89, respectively, recently celebrated their 65th wedding
anniversary. Dorothy was raised on a farm in Chemung and
grew up with four brothers; Carl grew up in Elmira with
three sisters. The two were married June 12, 1948, in the
church where they first met, in a youth group. Although
they knew each other for a little while before they began
dating, neither could recall their first date. "It
was too long ago," said Carl. Dorothy was a
bookkeeper for many years at Streeter Associates; Carl
had his own television repair business when screens were
17 inches, sets were black-and-white, and programs came
on three stations available via antenna. "The
average television broke down three times a year,"
he said. "When color television arrived, you
couldn’t carry one by yourself." The couple
raised two sons, Larry, who worked as a
computer specialist at Cornell University in Ithaca until
his death last year, and David, who
lives with wife Bobbi in New Jersey.
They also have three grandchildren: Jasmine,
David and Terry. "We never
had any real arguments," Carl said. "I guess
because we were always able to discuss things."

traveling to Sunnfjord, Norway, this summer.

to college."
When
his 10-month-old sister began to cry, 2-year-old Corey
Gordon Jr. leaned over in his car seat to pat her arm.
"No cry," he told her. Moments later, the
toddler was hit by a car April 30 on Capitol Avenue in
Bridgeport, Conn., while holding the hand of his mother, Erika
Parmalee, as she reached for her purse on the
front seat. "I never let go of my child," she
said; daughter Faith was still strapped into her car seat
in back. The impact dented her car and flung Corey under
a parked vehicle. Days later, his neck in a brace and
tubes jutting out of his arms, he was in an induced coma
at Yale-New Haven Hospital. "I think he can feel us
and I think he can hear us," said his grandmother, Stephanie
Parmalee. "His vitals keep spiking."
Corey has since awakened and his recovery is scheduled to
continue at a rehabilitation center in Westchester
County, N.Y. Erika said her son was talking, but not yet
walking again. Police and Mayor Bill Finch have made it
clear the search for the unidentified driver is a
priority. Anyone with information is urged to call police
at (203) 576-8126.

gambling operation in Oklahoma City and is
scheduled to go on trial this year.
