\-t-f.i V A 1-f O . J The Chronicle March 5, 2020 B5 NBA From page Bl Ahother good reason to watch more games this year is the stellar play of the young stars in the NBA. Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, Trae Young, De’Aaron Fox, Jamal Murray Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell, along with sev eral others, have been electric this season. The jaw-dropping plays these young guys put on display every night lets me know the league is in good hands when the current crop of superstars calls it quits. Getting the highest seed possible will be of the utmost importance this season, because the team that has home court advan tage will be in great shape over their opponents, due to how good a lot of these teams are. I can’t wait to see how everything plays out going into the playoffs. Every playoff team better be ready, because if they don’t bring their A game, they could get bounced in the first round. This is the NBA I have been waiting for, for quite some time. ^1 Nationwide CHARLES C BRUNSON Community Briefs Information Meeting Rescheduled for Small Business Plan Competition The information meeting for the city’s 2020 Small Business Plan Competition has been rescheduled for Thurs days March 5, at 6 p.m. in the Committee Room (Room 239) of City Hall, 101 N.

Music Video released to honor the memory of Myron Miller In 20.19, performers Dan Beckmann and Erinn Dearth were asked to do a series of shows in Normandy, France, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Though the pair wears many hats, the duo is currently most known * for their singing and tap dancing patriotic performances through the USO-styled musical duo Letters From Home. ■ Myra Miller, the leader of Footsteps Researchers, was the coordinator for the Normandy, France trip. In the planning stages, Beckmann and Dearth learned some old songs that meant something personal to the people who traveled with the group, including a song for Myra. Miller’s father was Sgt Myron H Miller who served in the 83rd infantry division. He joined Company K on July 21,1944, near Auxais, France, as a combat infantryman. His unit helped liberate St Malo and Dinard, France, before heading to Luxembourg and the Hurtgen Forest in Germany. He was wounded on Dec. 16,1944, in Kuffer- ath, Germany, and spent the next three months recovering from his wounds in England. He rejoined Company K on April 25,1945, which was just before VE Day. He finished the rest of the war as military police helping to establish order in Germany and Czechoslovakia. He returned to the USA at the end of November 1945, to his hometown of Dixon, Missouri, where, Myra recalls, he would regularly play “Red River Valley” on his harmonica. In honor of Myron Miller, Beckmann and Dearth created a music video with a new version of Red River Valley that was exclusively filmed in Bethania and Pfafftown, N.C. The video features Beckmann, Dearth, and 10-year old Triad performer Caroline Mendenhall. The video can now be accessed across the country, including on You Tube For more information on the music video, please contact Erinn Dearth or Dan Beckmann at Hi@ItsRiley.com.
