PUTNAM COUNTY — Students will
need to sharpen their No. 2 pencils after
all.
Due to a severe network outage on the
first day of the state’s new online exam
program, paper tests are coming back.
“Until I hear more information from
the state, we’re on hold,” Denette
Kolbe, assistant director of schools in
teaching and learning, told the HeraldCitizen this morning.
But that’s not to say schools in Putnam
County experienced too much grief
when TNReady — the new Tennessee
Comprehensive Assessment Program
test for English language arts and math
for grades 3-11 — kicked off Monday.
“It started a little slow; the computers
were a little sluggish,” Kolbe said. “But
some schools decided to continue, and
we got quite a few students tested. It
went really well for us yesterday.”
She attributed that to the fact that many
other districts decided not to test due to
the sluggishness.
“As they were getting off the system,
we started getting better service — so

COOKEVILLE — A
Cookeville man was arrested
on multiple charges Friday
after he tried to flee from police but wrecked his vehicle.
Vincent Michael Thompson, 27, of North Franklin
Avenue in Cookeville, was
charged following the incident.
According to a report by
Cookeville Police Officer
Colby Fox, he attempted to
initiate a traffic stop on a
black Mazda RX8 after he
saw the vehicle run a stop
sign at Commerce and Whitson avenues.
“As I followed the vehicle

ALGOOD — The Algood Ballpark
may go tobacco free following a recommendation by the county’s planning committee to accept a $25,000
grant to do so last night.
If acceptance of the grant is approved by the 24-member commission next week, the Algood Ballpark
would be the first county-operated
park to be tobacco free.
In exchange for putting up signs that
read, “Knock Tobacco Out of the
Park,” the county will be able to use
the $25,000 grant for a new score
board, trash cans and bleachers, as
well as other minor modifications to
the park.
The funds for the Algood Ballpark
are just a portion of a three-year grant
from the Tennessee Department of
Health to encourage Tennesseans reduce children’s exposure to secondhand smoke, according to Lisa
Bumbalough, director of the Putnam
County Health Department.
Putnam County received more than
$50,000 each year of the three-year
grant period for a variety of programs
to encourage people to quit smoking.
The City of Cookeville’s parks already have signs requesting users to
refrain from using tobacco at its public parks, including the new Heart of
the City playground at Dogwood
Park, which received $10,000
through the state grant as well.
One commissioner expressed concern about not being able to use any
tobacco products at the park, while
another wanted to know when could
it be implemented at other county-operated parks.
Putnam County Parks and Recreation Director John Ross Albertson
explained that in his previous role in
athletics at Tennessee Tech, “We
weren’t allowed to have tobacco at
all. That came through the NCAA.”
Another commissioner wanted to

we continued to test,” she said.
Due to the technology failure, Education Commissioner Candice McQueen
sent a memo to school directors across
the state, instructing them to discontinue
testing until Parts I and II of TNReady
can be done on paper. She said the testing platform “experienced major out-

the right-hand ditch,” Officer
Fox reports.
At that point, the officer
said he initiated his emergency equipment to stop the
vehicle, but it sped up and
ran several more stop signs
while the officer pursued it.
When the vehicle ran a stop
sign at the intersection of
South Lowe Avenue, it “lost
control and went off the left
side of the road,” Officer Fox
reports.
“The vehicle then struck a
utility pole with its right
front side and spun around
multiple times while sliding
down an embankment,” the
officer continued.

Man pleads guilty to aggravated burglary, theft charges
By TRACEY HACKETT
COOKEVILLE — A 21-year-old man
from Crawford pleaded guilty in Putnam
County Criminal Court recently to charges
of aggravated burglary and misdemeanor
theft.
Anthony Tate Miller pleaded guilty to
the offenses and will serve three years suspended to probation for the aggravated
burglary charge and will be required to
pay $1,000 in restitution to the victim of
that crime.
In addition, he will serve 11 months and
29 days suspended to probation for the
theft charge, but that sentence will run
concurrently with the aggravated burglary
sentence.
Miller was originally charged with aggravated burglary and theft over $1,000 in
an incident dating from December 2014,
and he was charged with misdemeanor
theft from an incident in January 2015.
If the case from 2014 had gone to trial
and Tate had been found guilty of those
offenses, he could have faced a prison sentence of three to 15 years and a fine of up
to $10,000 for the aggravated burglary
charge and a sentence of two to 12 years
and a fine of up to $5,000 for the theft
charge.
If the case from 2015 had gone to trial
and Tate had been found guilty of that offense, he could have faced a fine of up to
$2,500 in addition to a sentence of 11
months and 29 days.
Tate was arrested shortly after the aggra-
vated burglary happened when an anonymous tip led law enforcement officers to
a Cookeville hotel room that contained
various stolen items.
In the incident, a Stevens Street resident
reported that her home had been broken
into.
Among the items reported missing in
that incident were Nike clothes, shoes and
sunglasses, a Kindle Fire tablet, a Dewalt
drill and two LG flat screen televisions.
The resident whose home was burglarized told police that she was in the
process of selling some of those items online, so she was able to provide cards with
detailed descriptions.
A witness provided a description of a
possible vehicle driven by the burglar,
and other evidence was gathered at the
scene.
Shortly after the incident was reported,
an anonymous caller left a tip at the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department that a
vehicle matching the description of the
suspect vehicle had been seen at a local
motel.
And when law enforcement officers followed up on that tip, with a consented
search of the hotel room where Tate was
staying, they found many of the reported
stolen items.
The prosecution was represented by Assistant District Attorney Bret Gunn in
both the aggravated burglary and misdemeanor theft cases against Tate.
Tate’s guilty plea was approved by Putnam County Criminal Court Judge David
Patterson.

DUI: Man charged after chase, crash
From Page A1
Officer Fox exited his vehicle
and approached the wrecked vehicle cautiously, with his weapon
drawn, he said.
He shouted loud verbal commands at the occupants, and a
passenger in the wrecked vehicle
“rolled out of the door and onto
the ground,” Officer Fox said.
“I instructed him not to move
and that an ambulance was on
the way,” the officer continued.
The driver, who was found to
be Thompson, was conscious
after the crash, Officer Fox
found, but the driver’s door was
blocked by the way the vehicle
came to rest after it crashed.
The officer said he instructed
the driver “to climb out the passenger side by going over the
console.”
Before emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene, the
officer was able to identify both
the driver and the passenger.
The passenger received treatment on the scene for minor injuries but signed a release form
refusing transport to the hospital.
The officer had placed the
driver under arrest upon his exit
from the vehicle, but he was
transported to Cookeville Regional Medical Center, accompanied by another officer, where
a CT scan and other tests were
performed to make sure he had
suffered no internal or unknown
injuries from the crash.
An inventory of the vehicle following the crash found items of
drug paraphernalia, as well as a
small quantity of a green leafy
substance believed to be marijuana, the officer reports.
Officer Fox then proceeded to
the hospital, where he informed
the driver of the implied consent
law, but the driver refused the
chemical test to determine the
level of alcohol or other drugs in
his blood.
A warrant for the test was obtained, and several hospital staff
and officer had to apply physical
grabs in order to obtain his
blood, the officer said.
“Mr. Thompson was very belligerent with the hospital staff
and did not want to consent to
the tests. After much talking, he
finally consented to the tests,”
Officer Fox reports of the man’s
general behavior at the hospital.
Upon being cleared by the
medical staff, he was transported
from CRMC to the Putnam
County Jail, where he was
booked on a total bond of
$3,000.
He is charged with reckless endangerment, evading arrest and
driving under the influence and
was issued citations for possession of drug paraphernalia, simple possession of drugs and
violation of implied consent .
According to his arrest warrants, his initial appearance in
Putnam County General Sessions Court is set for March 7.
know plans to enforce the park
being tobacco free.
Albertson acknowledged that
although he won’t be policing
the area to check for people
using tobacco, having the signs
requesting people to refrain
from using tobacco where children are present will certainly
help.
“We chose Algood because it’s
one of our higher traffic (park)
areas,” Albertson said.
Bumbalough said, “It’s to encourage. It will make for a
cleaner park and improve the
environment. It’s a win win for
the community.”
Albertson agreed, saying, “The
users of the facility will see the
benefits.”
Albertson said the Algood
Ballpark is one of the busier
parks operated by his department with thousands of kids and
families using it each year.
The Putnam County Commission will consider accepting the
grant at its meeting on Tuesday,
Feb. 16, at 6 p.m. in the thirdfloor courtroom of the Putnam
Courthouse on Spring Street,
one day after its regular meeting
time of the third Monday of the
month in order to observe President’s Day on Feb. 15.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Proponents of a creating a limited school
voucher program in Tennessee
first feared that snow flurries
would keep enough supporters
from arriving for a House floor
vote Monday.
But it ended up being an avalanche of proposed amendments
— including a last-minute change
proposed by the bill’s main sponsor — that caused Rep. Bill Dunn,
R-Knoxville, to put the vote off
until later in the week.
Dunn told colleagues before the
floor session that he now only
wants the bill to apply to the
state’s four largest counties:
Shelby, Davidson, Knox and
Hamilton.
But he said he wants to take a
more comprehensive approach to
finding a version that can pass “instead of taking up 22 amendments.”
Even Dunn’s normally routine
motion to delay the vote illustrated
how closely divided the House is

Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma, right, and Matthew Hill, R-Jonesborough, at the legislative office complex in Nashville Monday.
on the measure. It received just 51
votes — or two more than the
minimum to be adopted.
The bill would make the vouchers available to low-income families whose children attend the
state’s worst-ranking schools.
Those families could apply the
about $7,000 voucher toward paying private school tuition. The
companion version of the bill was
passed overwhelmingly by the
Senate last year.
Dunn said the school voucher
program would be like the GI Bill
or other federal and state college
grants, “which allow you to go to
public schools, private schools, re-
ligious schools.”
Several rural lawmakers have expressed concerns about diluting
scarce public school funds to create vouchers that could be spent
on religious and other private
schools.
Republican Rep. David Byrd, a
retired principal from Waynesboro, said a dip in enrollment in
public schools causes financial
hardships for administrators.
“We had to run fundraisers to be
able to change our countertops in
our bathrooms or fix other maintenance problems, because we
didn’t have the money,” said Byrd,
who also noted that Tennessee’s
education ranking has been improving even without a voucher
program.
“We’re doing something right, so
why are we bailing out on public
education when they’re doing the
best they’ve ever done since anyone can remember?” Byrd said.
Other lawmakers have questioned whether private schools receiving the vouchers would
adhere to more lax standards than
those governed by local school
boards.
Gov. Bill Haslam has said he
would sign the bill into law if it remains substantially the same as introduced.

NASHVILLE (AP) —
Tennessee education officials say they no longer
have faith that a brand new
education assessment test
known as TNReady can be
administered online after a
series of computer glitches,
including one Monday that
forced school officials
across the state to halt testing on the first day of its
rollout.
State Education Commissioner Candice McQueen
sent an email Monday afternoon to school directors
across the state saying she
is no longer confident in
vendor Measurement Inc.’s
ability to administer the test
online consistently without
it crashing. As a result, McQueen has ordered that students take the tests using
pencil and paper.
Measurement Inc. is the
North Carolina-based company
that
developed
TNReady. Records show
that the state awarded the
company with a contract
worth more than $107 million for work from 20152020. Company officials
did not return a phone call
seeking comment.
McQueen, in her email,
said technical problems
have occurred before Monday. But after the disastrous
first-day rollout with computer-networking glitches,
the education commissioner
said she didn’t expect the
network to perform well
consistently. A number of
schools systems across the
state had problems taking
the test earlier in the day;
however, it’s not clear how
many were affected.
“In the best interest of our
students and to protect instructional time, we cannot
continue with Measurement Incorporated’s online
testing platform in its current state,” McQueen
wrote.
This is the first year students were supposed to take
an assessment test online.
TNReady assesses math
and English skills for
grades 3-11. It replaces the
Tennessee Comprehensive
Assessment
Program,
known as TCAP tests. Supporters say it does a better
job of assessing criticalthinking skills than the previous test.

The keys to
health and
happiness
G
et this: Wealth, fame and
success don’t make us
happy, but strong relationships do.
That’s according to a 77-yearlong Harvard Study of Adult Development that I read about in The
Independent.
The study began in 1938 with
724 men from two distinct groups.
The first group included 268 sophomores from Harvard. The second
group included 456 16-year-olds
from an impoverished area in
Boston.
At the beginning of the study, the
subjects were
given medical
examinations
and researchers interviewed
their parents
to gain “a
deep understanding of
their lives.”
Then, every
Tom
two years, researchers surPurcell
veyed their
lives and “explored their attitudes
toward their work and home
lives… .” Every five years they
were given medical examinations.
Of the 724 subjects, 60 are still
alive and still participating in the
study.
So what have researchers learned
from the study about human happiness?
According to Harvard Psychiatry
Professor Robert Waldinger, the
study’s fourth director, there are
three key findings.
First, loneliness can kill.
“People with more social connections — be that to family
members, friends or in a community — are happier, physically
healthier and tend to live longer,”
reports The Independent. But
“those who are more isolated from
others than they wish to be suffer
with poor health and experience a
decline in brain function sooner
than those who aren’t.”
But we know all this to be true.
We know that the happiest moments in our own lives involved
friends and family. These are the
people who affect the deeper part
of our nature — our spirits and
souls — where true happiness resides. These are the people who
can make us laugh so hard our
guts hurt or help us when we’re
down or engage us in deeply satisfying conversations.
And yet we spend most of our
waking hours not nurturing our
friends and families but chasing
success and money and a bigger
house. And the happiness that is
right under our noses eludes us.
The second key finding of the
study is this: The quality of relationships matters. “While being
lonely is harmful, being surrounded by people isn’t necessarily helpful in itself,” said
Waldinger. “We know that you can
be lonely in a crowd and lonely in
a marriage.”
In the era of social media, when
we have more “virtual” friends
than ever, why are so many lonelier than ever?
The study’s third key finding
should be obvious: Strong relationships are what we need to be
happy, but they require work.
“Waldinger said that people who
feel they can count on another person when they face trouble have
stronger memory, while those who
don’t see this faculty decline earlier,” reports The Independent.
The Harvard study validates
what we all know in our bones to
be true. But we’re a conflicted
people in America.
On one hand, we think wealth
and fame are the keys to happiness. We want adulation and expensive cars and big houses
staffed by a dozen servants.
But on the other hand we know
wealth and fame are bogus. You
don’t know who your friends really are until your money is gone.
And if you ever do anything stupid, the media will broadcast it all
over the world.
Well, nuts to that.
If you want to be healthy and
happy, follow the Harvard study’s
findings and engage a handful of
good people in high-quality relationships.
Or, to put it another way, just follow the advice of the great singerphilosopher Kenny Rogers. He
said that all anyone needs to be
happy is someone to love, something to do and something to look
forward to.

Code of campaign-speak
“
Do you ever get the feeling,”
asked humorist Robert Orben,
“that the only reason we have
elections is to find out if the polls
were right?” But even after real, live
Americans actually do vote in Iowa
and New Hampshire, somehow we always seem to be left with more winners than losers. Because you, dear
readers, are busy enough, your faithful
correspondent offers this translation of
what the predictable statements of
campaign 2016 do in truth mean.
Predictable statement No. 1: We
were clear from the first day: This
race in not a dash. It’s a marathon.
Delegates are the name of the game,
and these first two states represent a
mere 53 out of 2,472 convention delegates. 98 percent of the delegates are
yet to be chosen. We’re in this for the
long haul.
What it means: A spokesperson is
speaking about a candidate who finished out of the money in the actual
voting in both Iowa and New Hampshire:
Predictable statement No. 2: Iowa
and New Hampshire, with more farms
than minorities, are not America in
2016. The biggest city between them
has fewer people than Gilbert, Arizona, or Boise, Idaho. What can anyone say in defense of a place where
their idea of wine and cheese is
Velveeta and muscatel?
What it means: A nationally promi-

wrong in his predictions about
who would win

to defy the disdainfulness of their social superiors and brave February’s
frozen tundra to vote in such impressive numbers, America should listen
closely. Because they are saying, “We
can do better.”
What it means: A TV commentator is
proud to have correctly predicted the
winner.
A reality check for everyone: These
first two states do in fact decide who
will not be elected president. In the
last 11 national elections, no presidential candidate who competed in Iowa
and New Hampshire and who did not
win one or both states has ever gone
on to win the White House in November.
Every candidate, no matter how far
back in the field he ends up, insists
that, somehow, he has done “better
Iowa, where everyone’s a winner
T
he great state of Iowa has a history
of cultivating its topsoil for a harvest
of winners the rest of the country
may enjoy. Glenn Miller. Buffalo Bill
Cody. George Reeves. Herbert Hoover.
James Tiberius Kirk. As a side note, this
may be the first time in history the word
“enjoy” has been linked to Herbert Hoover.
The recent raucous caucus process is a
perfect example of the Hawkeye State’s peculiar propensity for propagating the propitious. It is the Special Olympics of politics.
“Thanks for playing our game. Here’s a
bunch of trophies. We think everybody’s a
winner.”
After the smoke cleared, small, medium
and large sized winners littered the ground
like mushroom spores on cowpies after a
spring rain. Just eating at a Pizza Ranch
was a qualification to be presented with a
medal.
Of course the foremost winners were Ted
Cruz and Hillary Clinton because they won
and that’s what winners do. But Marco
Rubio was also a winner because he exceeded expectations, which in politics is
considered a win. Then after the results
were announced, he gave a victory speech
even though he came in third, also indicative of a winner.
Donald Trump was a winner because, as
he informs us over and
over, Donald Trump is
a winner, but he was
also a loser because, he
didn’t win. Hillary
Clinton too was a loser
because she didn’t win
by enough, making
Bernie Sanders a winner, even though he
lost. Still with me?
Chris Christie didn’t
Will
try
to win, and didn’t,
Durst
so he’s a big winner,
with an emphasis on
the adjective. Jim Gilmore was the
slimmest of winners because he got twelve,
count em, twelve votes; only twelve more
than either you or I got and we didn’t even
go to Iowa. Making us winners for not
spending the month of January wandering
around coffee shops drinking decaf.
Cubans won. Canadians won. CubanCanadians won. Corinthians won. Ethanol,
pork tenderloins, the New York Daily
News and Chris Matthews won. “Your
thoughts.” Glenn Beck was a winner for
hanging out with the guy who really did
win. Sarah Palin, no, sorry, still not a winner, but she’s got her one winning attitude,
you betcha.
Caucus-goers won by exercising their
electoral muscles. John Kasich, Jeb Bush
and Ben Carson won by being participants
in a grand American tradition. Carly Fiorina claimed to have come in a strong seventh, which makes her a winner for even
imagining such a concept.
Martin O’Malley, Mike Huckabee, Rand
Paul and Rick Santorum are all huge winners because they can go home and don’t
have to do this anymore. But the biggest
winners may be the people of Iowa since
the political ads have disappeared from
their radios and they can find out what their
pork futures are again. And the people of
New Hampshire are winners- in- waiting as
the circus camps out in their yard.
One big problem is in order to spread that
much winning around, sometimes its
strength is diluted. Like a single scoop of
peanut butter for an entire loaf of bread.
Meaning that Ted Cruz should take the momentum of his win and run fast and hard,
because the last 2 Republican caucus winners came in 9th & 11th this time around.
Winners still, but what you call very thin
wins.

than expected.” These campaigns
must really set their sights very low.
How else could a miserable, eighthplace finish still qualify as “better
than expected”? I will happily wear
the bumper sticker of any candidate
who confesses that he actually did
“worse than expected.”
A closing note: Running for public
office, we should remember, is a very
human experience. Most people who
run for president are individuals already with records of significant accomplishments. Many have been
successful governors or senators who
have led important causes or written
serious laws; others are former military leaders who have led troops into
battle. But as we see again, most who
do run lose. It’s all voluntary, of
course, but there are families and
loved ones who feel the pain of such
public defeat.
“It takes a lot of guts to stick your
neck out and run for any public office,” Robert Strauss, the late Democratic leader, wisely observed. “But
the only thing that’s tougher than announcing for office is withdrawing
from a race, because when you drop
out you are saying that you are quitting and that you’re beaten.” Losing is
almost always painfully public and
publicly painful.

Monterey rich in tradition
“Where hilltops kiss the sky.”
That’s how Monterey citizens
refer to their hometown, which
is as rich in history as it is high
in elevation.
Around the beginning of the
20th century, it had been a resort town that boasted seven
hotels and drew in summer
travelers to enjoy the cool temperatures and mountain
scenery. But with the invention
of the automobile, Monterey
became less of a resort town,
with its economy more dependent on railroad maintenance,
coal mining and logging.
The town — known as Standing Stone before being named
Monterey in 1893 — also celebrates its Native American history, which goes back to
ancient times. A large, mysterious monolith once marked a
tribal hunting boundary, but it
was destroyed with the coming
of the railroad in the late 1800s.
However, a fragment of that
stone remains and is prominently displayed near the library. Monterey celebrates that
heritage each October on
Standing Stone Day.
For hundreds of years before white men came to the area, before there was an Avery
Trace or a Walton Road, a huge stone monolith originally described as resembling an
old gray dog standing on its hind legs pointing due west stood near where present day
Monterey. As settlers traveled westward, they began chipping away at it. When the
Nashville and Knoxville Railroad finally blasted what was left of it, the stone was only a
few feet high.
A photo from the first Standing Stone Day, in October,
1895, after the remnant of the original stone was hoisted
atop a lighthouse-shaped pedestal in Whittaker Park,
where it still stands, today. During the original celebration,
it was reported that there were a full 3,000 in attendance.
The Order of the Redmen saved a small portion of the stone and had it engraved in
Cookeville. Pictured, the Redmen are pictured with a stone before it was taken to its current location in Whittaker Park.
The first recorded post office at Standing Stone was at the home of postmaster William
Anderson in 1836. John Whittaker became a postmaster in 1850 at his home, pictured
here. Prior to the formation of Putnam County, the Standing Stone community was split
between two counties. The north side of Walton Road was in Overton County; the south
side in White County.

name is Spainish for “mountain king.” Robert Moscrip, the man who laid out the new

New England cleans up; snow falls on the Mid-Atlantic
By MARK PRATT
Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — A wind-driven winter storm that brought blizzard conditions to Cape Cod fell short of forecast
snowfall totals and spared the Northeast
the widespread power outages that had
been predicted.
Snowflakes were still flying Tuesday
as New England residents continue
mopping up from Monday’s storm, al-
though little additional accumulation
was expected.
Forecasters had predicted that some
areas of New England could get up to 18
inches of snow. But by Tuesday morning, the hardest hit areas were Oak
Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, with almost 10 inches, and
Yarmouth, Falmouth and Brewster, all
on Cape Cod, with 9 inches. Boston got
6.4 inches.
In Rhode Island, Coventry and Scituate
both got 8.5 inches, while Winsted, Connecticut had 6.3 inches, according to the
National Weather Service.
New York City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania got much less snow than was
originally forecast, but some accumulation was predicted as the storm was expected to last into Wednesday. Predicted
snowfall totals for southeastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey were
downgraded to 1 to 3 inches, although a
winter storm warning remained in place
for parts of Philadelphia’s western suburbs, where up to 5 inches was possible.
Parts of western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia could get more than 6 inches of
snow.
New York City could get up to 1 to 3
inches of snow, and the weather service
issued a coastal flood warning for Long
Island’s south shore.
In New England, travel was expected
to be slow at best even on well-treated
roads, but schools across the region that
were closed on Monday were expected
to reopen, although some were delayed.
The storm lasted into early Tuesday in
New Hampshire, where the first-in-thenation presidential primary is being
held. The weather service said snow will
be light and fluffy and accumulation will
be modest.
The weather service also confirmed
that blizzard conditions were reached in
six locations on Cape Cod and the islands.
Obama set to release
$4T budget for 2017
By ANDREW TAYLOR and
MARTIN CRUTSINGER
Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is unveiling
his eighth and final budget, a $4
trillion-plus proposal that’s
freighted with liberal policy initiatives and new and familiar tax
hikes — all sent to a dismissive
Republican-controlled Congress
that simply wants to move on
from his presidency.
The budget will be released
Tuesday morning, the same day
as the New Hampshire primary
when it’s likely to get little attention. It comes as the deficit,
which had been falling over the
duration of Obama’s two terms,
has begun to creep up, above the
half-trillion mark.
The White House is countering
the worsening deficit outlook
with a proposed $10-per barrel
tax on oil that would finance
“clean” transportation projects. It
also is sure to propose taxes on
the wealthy and corporations.
Long gone are proposals such
as slowing the automatic inflation increase for Social Security
benefits and other ideas once
aimed at drawing congressional
Republicans into negotiations on
a broader budget deal.
Now, Obama has broken out a
budget playbook filled with ideas
sure to appeal to Democrats: A
“moonshot” initiative to cure
cancer; increasing Pell Grants for
college students from low-income backgrounds; renewed incentives for GOP-governed
states to join the expanded Medicaid system established under
the health care law, and incentives to boost individual retirement accounts.
The budget also pledges to
make Americans safe in an increasingly dangerous world
through higher military spending
to fight the Islamic State terrorist
threat and increased support for
cybersecurity in the wake of last
summer’s hack of government
computers that compromised the
personal information of 21 million Americans. The administration’s budget askes for a $19
billion increase in spending to
upgrade cybersecurity across
government agencies, including
$3 billion for an overhaul of federal computer systems.
“These cyber threats are among
the most urgent dangers to America’s economic and national security,” Obama wrote in an
opinion piece Tuesday in The
Wall Street Journal. “With the
nation’s cyber adversaries getting
more sophisticated every day ...
we have to be even more nimble
and resilient and stay ahead of
these threats.”
The $10-per-barrel tax hike proposal comes as the price of crude
has dropped to the $30 per barrel
range.
“We’re going to impose a tax on
a barrel of oil — imported, exported — so that some of that
revenue can be used for transportation, some of that revenue
can be used for the investments
in basic research and technology
that’s going to be needed for the
energy sources of the future,”
Obama said. “Then 10 years
from now, 15 years from now, 20
years from now, we’re going to
be in a much stronger position
when oil starts getting tight
again, prices start going up
again.”
Republicans, however, immediately rejected the idea after its release last week and it will meet
the fate of prior dead-on-arrival
proposals such as increasing capital gains taxes on the wealthy,
imposing a fee on big banks, and
cutting the value of charitable deductions for upper-income taxpayers.

Trump, Sanders look to emerge from New Hampshire with wins
By JULIE PACE and KATHLEEN
RONAYNE
Associated Press
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders hope to
emerge from New Hampshire’s primary
Tuesday with their first wins of the
2016 presidential election, victories that
would boost their standing in a highly
competitive race.
Trump leads a Republican field that
has been in flux in the final days of
campaigning across snowy New Hampshire. A rocky debate performance by
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has jeopardized his chance to pull away from a trio
of governors and firmly establish himself as the chief rival to Trump and
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
In the two-person race for the Democratic nomination, Sanders has held an
advantage over Hillary Clinton in New
Hampshire for weeks.
Clinton started her day Tuesday at a
Manchester polling site, thanking volunteers and local supporters. She declined to offer a prediction of the
outcome as polls showing her facing a
double-digit deficit against Bernie
Sanders.
“This is a great process and as I have
said over the last couple of days we’re
going to keep working literally until the
last vote is cast and counted,” she said.
The state is friendly territory for the
Vermont senator and a must-win if he’s
to have a chance of staying competitive
with Clinton as the race moves to more
diverse states that are seen as more hospitable to the former secretary of state.
“We’re running a very radical campaign because we are telling the American people the truth and that’s
something that is not often told in the
political world,” Sanders said Monday
as he urged supporters to help him pull
out a win. The senator finished second
to Clinton in the leadoff Iowa caucuses
by the narrowest of margins.
The enthusiasm behind Trump, a real
estate mogul who has never held politi-

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton campaigns outside a polling place during the first-inthe-nation presidential primary, Tuesday in Manchester, N.H.
cal office, and Sanders, an avowed democratic socialist, underscore the public’s
anger with the current political system.
Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes their party’s nominee, those who
do will have to reckon with the voter
frustration they’ve tapped into.
After finishing behind Cruz in Iowa,
Trump has spent the past week both
protesting that result and stepping up
more traditional campaign activities.
While he’s long preferred large rallies,
he spent the final full day of campaigning holding some smaller town hall
events.
And even as voters trickled in to
polling stations early Tuesday, the results seemed far from decisive.
Seventy-two-year-old
Republican
John Starer said he made up his mind
about five minutes before he cast his
ballot for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
He says he was torn between Cruz and
Donald Trump but doesn’t think Trump
has a chance of getting elected.
“I think (Cruz is) about the only one
who could possible get elected as a Republican,” he said
The large Republican field was winnowed after Iowa, but there remains a
crowded grouping of more traditional
candidates, including Rubio.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Ohio
Gov. John Kasich and New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie have all staked their
White House bid on New Hampshire,
hoping a strong showing here will lead
voters — and crucial financial donors
— to give their candidacies another
look.
Rubio appeared to be breaking away
from the governors after a strongerthan-expected showing in Iowa, but
stumbled in Saturday’s debate under intense pressure from Christie. The New
Jersey governor has relentlessly cast the
young senator as too inexperienced and
too reliant on memorized talking points
to become president.
Rubio played into Christie’s hands by
responding with the same well-rehearsed line each time he was challenged by the governor.
Rival campaigns hope the moment
was enough to give voters pause when
they head to the polls on Tuesday.
In his final swing through the state
Monday, Christie urged voters to pick a
candidate who “has the maturity, and
the steadiness, and the aggression to
protect our country and put us back in
the right spot.”
Megan Tolstenko, 33, an unaffiliated
voter from Manchester, voted Tuesday
for Christie, saying she thinks Christie
would be best able to manage the country’s defenses and the fight against the
Islamic State group.
Kasich, who has prided himself on
avoiding attacks on his rivals, said he
hoped New Hampshire voters are “fed
up with the negative.”
If Rubio and the governors finish in a
pack Tuesday, it’s likely to frustrate Republican Party elites who are eager to
coalesce around a single candidate to
challenge Trump and Cruz.
Some party leaders believe both
Trump and Cruz are unelectable in the
general election, especially if Clinton is
the Democratic nominee.
Despite the expectations of a loss in
New Hampshire, Clinton has campaigned aggressively in the state.
Amid her rallies and town hall events,
she’s knocked on voters’ doors and
made surprise visits to local coffee
shops and restaurants.
“I am thrilled to be here the day before
the first in the nation primary to make
my final push to convince as many
Granite staters as possible to come out
and vote for me,” Clinton said during a
stop in Manchester Monday.
Behind Clinton’s upbeat demeanor,
however, are growing concerns within
her campaign about her standing with
young people, who are flocking to
Sanders.
Some Clinton supporters also fear she
isn’t doing as well with female voters as
she should be, a concern that was magnified after high-profile women backing
her campaign made eyebrow-raising
comments that appeared to disparage
women supporting her rival.

EAR ABBY: My stepson just turned 7. My
husband was granted
custody because the mother

drug abuse. She was granted
supervised visits until she can
pass two consecutive drug
tests.
Over the last year and a half,

and I think it would be a good
idea for “Tony” to start seeing
a therapist again. He doesn’t
talk about his mother often,

bottling up a lot of his feelings.
Tony is starting to ask more

about his

Is it time to explain the situation to him? He is still so
young, and I don’t know how
to explain things in a way he
would understand. If you were
me, what would you do? —
STEPMOM IN ALABAMA
DEAR STEPMOM: You
and your husband are wise to
want to prevent problems before they happen. If I were in
your situation, I would talk to
Tony’s therapist, explain
what’s going on, and ask for
pointers regarding his questions and his behavior.
My instinct would be to tell
the boy that his mother doesn’t
see him because she is sick.
It’s the truth. When he’s older,
he will need to know that there
may be an inherited predisposition to addiction in his family
— but for now that can wait.
Definitely contact the therapist
if you think he/she was a good
one.
DEAR ABBY: I used to be
best friends with this girl I met
in kindergarten. Over the years
we became like sisters and did
everything together. We played
Barbies, went on adventures,
shopping, saw movies and had
sleepovers. As we grew older,
we began trusting each other
with our lives. I could tell her
anything and everything, and I
was there for her whenever she
needed support or a shoulder
to cry on.
However, now that we are
older, we have slowly noticed
small differences in our lives.
She became focused on her
studies and art. I joined the
cheerleading squad and became interested in meeting
new people. Our lives have diverged, and now it’s like we
have become complete
strangers.
I want our friendship to go
back to the way it was. What
can I say or do to show her I
miss the old her? — CONFUSED EX-FRIEND
DEAR CONFUSED: As
people mature, it is not uncommon for their interests to diverge. This is normal, and it
may be what has happened
with you and your longtime
friend. If you miss the closeness you once had, tell her so.
But do not expect it to magically return your relationship
to what it was.
You are both sharing another
adventure now — exploring
the interests and relationships
you are developing as adults.
It’s possible that in the future
your paths will converge
again.
When people are true friends,
their ability to communicate
on a meaningful level can last
forever despite intervals when
they are not in contact.

Genealogy 101 class to
be held in Pleasant Hill
PLEASANT HILL — Joyce
Rorabaugh, Cumberland County
archivist and a certified archival manager, will lead a short course, “Genealogy 101” offered by the Shalom Center
for Continuing Education. The course
will meet on Fridays from 10 a.m.noon starting Feb. 19 and continuing
weekly until April 1, in Room 1 of the
Pleasant Hill Community Church,
UCC; 67 Church Dr. in Pleasant Hill.
As a registered nurse working in the
operating room, Rorabaugh needed a
creative outlet that didn’t involve medicine. Having listened to family stories
most of her life made genealogy a natural pasttime to gravitate towards. She
has been researching her family for almost 40 years and has spent time volunteering in several historical and
genealogical settings.
In 2006 she and her husband Bill were
ready to retire from travel and wound
up in Fairfield Glade. When a call went
out for volunteers to open the new
archives, she was one of the earliest to
sign up.
The archives opened in August 2010,
and by January 2011, she was asked to
run it. They now have Rorabaugh and
an assistant archivist in charge with
about 18 active volunteers processing
county records.
The course will be organized as fol-
lows: Class 1:
Let’s Get Started
— Discuss genealogical goals;
start with self and
complete family
group sheet and
pedigree charts
with
personal
knowledge.
Starter kit given to
Rorabaugh
each participant
will include instructions and genealogy
sheets to fill out. List of favorite websites to start research given. Discuss
genealogy data storage programs.
Class 2: Separate the Fruit from the
Nuts — Review and discuss what
found since last class. How-to source
material. Discuss how to separate the
good from bad information. Being a
genealogy detective. Discuss oral history and information from family
members, info from books and internet
sites.
Class 3: To the Internet and Beyond
— Review. Discussion using Ancestry
Family Search and other websites.
Evaluating information found there.
Discuss where original records may be
found and explore ways to access that
information.
Class 4: The Written Word Part 1 —
Review. Discussion about genealogical
books and how to source.
Class 5: The Written Word Part 2 —
What other printed material and
records are available, how to find information that is not online. Resources
such as historical societies, etc.
Class 6: Let’s Get Organized — Now
that we’ve been working, lets clear the
papers off our desk. Wrap-up, questions, exchange ideas and information
we’ve collected.
At the conclusion of the genealogy
course, the Cumberland County
Archives offers a 10-session seminar
inspecting the various types of original
records that can be used to aid research.
Start with the census records and
progress through vital records, land
records, cemetery, military, and many
other topics. Scheduling could be
arranged for a group committed to this
exploration.

Academy luncheon time for reflection
By LINDSEY BAHR
AP Film Writer
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) —
The annual Oscar nominees luncheon
is generally a time of low-stakes celebration, but this year amid discussions
of Oscar diversity and a boycott, as
well as dramatic changes to academy
membership, the Monday gathering
was also one for reflection.
Those at the luncheon did their best to
keep things focused on the nominees
and not the controversy swirling
around the industry. Producers Reginald Hudlin and David Hill also announced a big change for the show on
Feb. 28. Winners will still have a tight
45 seconds for their acceptance
speeches, but now, thanks to a scroll of
key names that will appear on the
screen, the speech doesn’t just have to
be a list of people.
This development, they hope, will
give winners an opportunity to say
what’s in their heart, rather than worrying about forgetting to thank an
agent, producer or director.
While the luncheon was full of
schmoozing and love, with attendees
like Steven Spielberg, Alejandro Inarritu, Lady Gaga and more, backstage,
diversity and #OscarsSoWhite dominated the discussions.
Sylvester Stallone, who became a
focal point in the controversy for being
the sole nominee (supporting actor)
from “Creed,” which had both a black
director and lead actor, said he consulted with director Ryan Coogler as to
whether or not he should attend at all.
“I said, ‘if you want me to go, I’ll go,
AP

Monday.
if you don’t, I won’t,’” Stallone told reporters before lunch. “He said, ‘Just go
there and try to represent the film.’”
Prior to the luncheon at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.,
various nominees stopped to speak to a
room of reporters about everything
from finance reform to fashion. But
Stallone wasn’t the only one thinking
about the question of diversity, both at
the Oscars and in the industry at large.
For his part, Stallone said that he believes things will change and it’s just a
matter of time.
“Spotlight” director Tom McCarthy
complimented Cheryl Boone Isaacs,
president of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, for doing
“an amazing job of navigating change.”
McCarthy said he has faith in the film
community’s ability to push the needle
for change.
Alicia Vikander, nominated for her
supporting performance in “The Danish Girl,” was one appreciating the moment. She saw her co-star Eddie
Redmayne (also a nominee) go through
the process last year during filming
when he was nominated, and won, for
“The Theory of Everything.”
“He said try and enjoy it because it is
very wonderful,” Vikander said.
he development of laws is
closely linked to the development of civilization. As far
back as 3000 B.C., ancient Egyptian
law contained a civil code of behavior. In 1280 B.C., the Old Testament
contained recommendations for
moral behavior.
Laws provide a code of ethics for
behavior. These are used to maintain
order and are necessary rules to make
sure that nobody infringes on the
rights of others. Many laws are based
on a majority’s ethical and moral beliefs, and imposed on a minority —
who are often very harshly punished
should they break the commonly accepted laws.
Laws for the protection and conservation of the Earth have been written.
These laws were written to make sure
that an individual, business or industry does not pollute their small portion of the Earth, thereby affecting
the health and
of surRecycling welfare
rounding residents.
Recommendations for environmental laws are
handled by the
Environmental
Protection
Agency for regulating air, soil and
water pollution.
The laws state
Lisa
how waste must
Luck
be disposed of
properly to keep
from polluting a community.
The Tennessee Litter Law, revised
in 2008 by Judge Larry Potter, provides the law adopted in Tennessee
for communities to address littering
problems in a community. This includes both littering by individuals
and businesses. To read the law in its
entirety, go to
www.stoplitter.org/TN07TCAlitterlaw.pdf. The fine for throwing litter
out of the window is $50. This includes cigarette butts. The fine for littering through improperly covered
loads is $500. The money from fines
stays in our community to fund
cleanup projects, including illegal
dumps and tire waste.
Although the laws are on the books,
they are not always enforced. This
leads to apathy on the part of the approximately 10 percent who litter all
of the time. In addition, the employees or residents losing trash from improperly tarped loads do not have an
incentive to not litter. There are never
any consequences for their actions.
Nobody has every told them the impact that littering has on their own
community. Littering is a behavior
that is learned but can be changed
should someone be exposed to education as to why litter is so detrimental.
Spewing trash roadside is criminal
behavior. Litter can lead to blight,
lowering property values and encouraging criminal activities. Litter can
reduce the amount of revenue a
county receives from tourism by
making our beautiful parks unsightly.
Litter lowers everyone’s standard of
living. Litter requires tax money be
spent on the cleanup. Tennessee spent
$15.5 million last year cleaning up
litter. Your money. My money. It
could have been spent for our
schools, children, the disadvantaged
or to create new programs to benefit
all of us.
The Clean Commission, now Keep
Putnam County Beautiful Clean
Commission, has worked for more
than 30 years. Dedicated (and nonpaid) board members spend time,
money and energy providing cleanup
supplies and operating the Adopt-ARoad project. Shannon Reese, executive coordinator, has made it her
business to clean up the illegal
dumps. The Putnam County Solid
Waste Department’s Education Program provides education in the community and public schools about litter
and the impact on the environment.
In addition they help finance
cleanups. Both Putnam County and
the City of Cookeville have litter
crews that clean up our city and
county daily. The only missing component is the enforcement of the litter
law. If keeping Putnam County clean
is a priority for you, please contact
your county and city law officials to
let them know we want those who are
littering to be held responsible for
their actions. Enforcement of the law
is a crucial part of reducing litter in
Putnam County.
Lisa Luck is the program manager of education for the Putnam
County Solid Waste Department.

Lillard has 33
to lead Blazers
past Grizzlies
112-106
By CLAY BAILEY
Associated Press
MEMPHIS (AP) — C.J. McCollum struggled with his shooting until overtime when a trio of
field goals provided Portland with
a winning boost.
McCollum had six of his 21
points in overtime, Damian Lillard scored 33 points and the Trail
Blazers defeated the Memphis
Grizzlies 112-106 on Monday
night.
“I wasn’t very good,” said McCollum, who was 7 of 19 from the
field at the end of regulation. “I
fouled. I gave up some points to
Mike Conley. Didn’t make shots.
But I just had to stick with it. They
need me to score. They need me
to execute down the stretch and
have the confidence to take and
make good shots.”
The game would not have
reached overtime if not for a
strange sequence at the close of
regulation.
Memphis held a 102-100 lead
after Tony Allen split a pair of free
throws for the Grizzlies with 7.6
seconds left.
On the ensuing possession, Lillard launched a 3-pointer that
missed, McCollum tapped up the
rebound, but that that was off the
mark before another tip went
through the net as the horn was
sounding.
Allen Crabbe was given credit
for the basket, but replays showed
Memphis’ Jeff Green actually was
the one with his hand on the tip
that went through.
And after that, officials reviewed
the play to make sure of two
things - that the shot was off in
time, and there was no basket interference.
Eventually, they ruled the basket
good, sending the game to the
extra period.
“We got the rebound, we got a
tip-in, and I just saw all black jerseys down there,” Lillard said of
the final play in regulation. “There
was a little bit over a second (left),
and I thought: ‘We’ve got a
chance to tip something.’”
Conley led Memphis with 27
points, while Zach Randolph
added 26 points as Memphis lost
its second straight overtime game.
EVENSVILLE — The White County
Warriors were four 3-pointers shy of a national record as they dominated the Rhea
County Golden Eagles 107-75 on Monday night.
The Warriors (24-0, 9-0 6-AAA) managed to knock down
31
3-pointers
against the Golden
Eagles (5-16, 1-8 6AAA) as they broke
the state record for
most threes in a
game.
“I’m just really
proud of this group
of kids,” commented WCHS head coach
Eric Mitchell. “We’re small for a basketball team because we’re very guard oriented, so the 3-pointer is a huge part of
our game. It really payed off for us (Monday night), and we also had 30 assists,
which is great. It really shows how well
they share the load. This is a special group
of kids.”
The Warriors were also able to share the
wealth as 10 different players were able
to get in on the 3-point madness. Pierce
Whited led the team with eight threes, and
Jacob Fresh followed closely behind with
seven. Also getting in on the action was
Mitchell Lamb with three, Kendall Barker
with three, Jared Carter with three, Cade
Crosland with two, Allen Frasier with
two, Cole Crosland with one, Malik Murray with one, and Saylor Wilson with one.
Many of these threes were hit in the first
quarter of the game as the Warriors came
out to an early 25-8 lead at the end of one.
The second quarter was just as bad as the
Warriors dropped 25 more points, and the
Golden Eagles put up 10 for a halftime
score of 50-18.
The Golden Eagles poured it on in the
third quarter, scoring 32 points, but the
Warriors werent phased as they almost
matched that with 30 points.
The game was already decided, but
Rhea county fought on in the fourth quarter scoring 25 points to White County’s
27 for the final.
The Golden Eagles were led by Matt
Levi who put up 34 points in the contest.
The other Eagle to score in double-digits
was Gavin Stewart who added 10 points
to their effort.
Whited ended up with 24 total points to
lead the team, Fresh tallied 23, and Lamb
added 17.
White County girls 63, Rhea
County 61
EVENSVILLE — The Warriorettes
needed extra time Monday night as White
County beat the Rhea County Golden Eagles 63-61 in overtime.
The Golden Eagles (14-12, 1-7 6-AAA)
came out to an early 14-8 lead after one
quarter of play in the hopes of holding on
for an upset.
However, the Warriorettes (20-4, 7-2)
closed the gap in the second quarter and
went into the locker room only down 2725.
By the end of the third quarter, the War-
riorettes had taken the lead 39-36.
But like the Golden Eagles, the Warriorettes could not hold on to win it in regulation as the score came to a tie at 55.
Both teams didn’t score much in the
overtime period, but the Warriorettes
were able to just barely edge out the
Golden Eagles 63-61.
The Warriorettes were led by Hannah
Leftwich, who almost posted a doubledouble with 24 points and nine rebounds,
and Madison Gardenhire, who dropped
15. Deandra Luna and Logan Quillen
helped out by adding nine and eight
points respectively.
Rhea County had two girls share the
scoring load in Jessee Wallis, who put up
27 points, and Micah Black, who dropped
22.
Jackson County boys 72, Clay
County 69
GAINESBORO — The Jackson County
Blue devils took down the AP poll Class
A No. 3 Clay County Bulldogs Monday
night in a 72-69 upset in overtime.
In a game where Clay County (24-2, 61 7-A) standout Tyreke Key scored 24
points, he was barely outshined by Jackson County’s (13-9, 5-3 7-A) Isaac
Phillips, who scored 25.
The first quarter was pretty even as the
Blue Devils barely topped the Bulldogs
16-15.
However the Blue Devils took off in the
second quarter, scoring 20 points to the
bulldogs nine for a 38-24 advantage.
Adversely, the Bulldogs started the second hald on fire outscoring the Blue Dev-
ils 26-16 to cut the deficit to 54-50.
At the end of regulation, the two teams
had tied the game at 66 and overtime ensued Jackson County outscored Clay
County 6-3 in the overtime period, and
the upset was cemented.
James Coe was the only other Blue devil
in double-digits with 10 points, but Colby
Brown helped with nine, Jonah Smith tallied eight, and Conner Brown added
eight.
Key was helped out by Peyton Smith,
who scored 15, and Wyatt Mabry with 10.
Jackson County girls 64, Clay
County 41
GAINESBORO — The lady Blue Devils had no trouble with the Lady Bulldogs
on Monday night as Jackson County took
down Clay County 64-41.
Jackson County (18-4, 6-2 7-A) came
out firing on all cylinders, scoring 17
points in the first quarter and 17 again in
the second. Clay County (14-10, 2-5 7-A)
only managed eight points in the first
quarter and 12 in the second for a halftime
disadvantage of 34-20.
And the third quarter is where Jackson
County really ran away with it. The Lady
Blue Devils scored 23 points in the third
quarter to the Lady Bulldogs nine to solidify their lead and the win.
The Lady Blue Devils were led by Kassidy Allen, who scored 22 points,
Cameron Sherrell with 18, and Kaitlyn
Pippen with 14.
The Lady Bulldogs were led by Jada
Kerr, who scored 12 points, and Kenzie

dunk in front of Texas guard
Isaiah Taylor (1) and guard
Kendal Yancy (5) in Norman,
Okla., on Monday.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) —
Buddy Hield’s 3-pointer from
the corner with 1.3 seconds remaining lifted No. 3 Oklahoma
to a 63-60 victory over No. 24
Texas on Monday night.
Hield scored 21 of his 27
points in the second half, 12
points in the final 3:11.
Isaiah Cousins added 17
points for the Sooners (20-3, 83 Big 12), who trailed for most
of the game. Oklahoma
bounced back from a loss at
Kansas State on Saturday that
cost it the No. 1 ranking. The
Sooners beat the Longhorns for
the sixth straight time and increased their home winning
streak to 19 games.
Isaiah Taylor scored 19 points
and Kendal Yancy added a season-high 13 points for Texas
(16-8, 7-4), which had won
four straight and seven of eight.
The Longhorns entered the Top
25 for the first time this season
earlier Monday.
Both teams shot 40 percent
from the field, but the Sooners
outscored the Longhorns 14-6
from the free throw line.

They shot 50 percent in the second half and hit 10 of 12 free
throws in the final 3:14 while
beating a ranked opponent for
the first time this season.
Donovan Mitchell scored 17
points and Quentin Snider, who
fouled out with 2:01 left, added
12 for the Cardinals (19-5, 8-3),
who shot 56 percent in the second half and erased a 15-point
deficit but missed a chance to
take sole possession of first
place in the league.
Trey Lewis swished a 3pointer with 24.5 seconds left
to pull the Cardinals within five
and Duke freshman Derryck
Thornton missed two free
throws with 22.5 seconds left,
but Damion Lee missed a 3pointer with about 10 seconds

No. 1 UConn takes down South Carolina
By PETE IACOBELLI
AP Sports Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — UConn coach
Gene Auriemma smiled at his three upperclass starters, savoring the latest virtuoso
performance on the big stage by Breanna
Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson
— and fretting about their departure next
season.
“I carry five cellphones now with all the
coaches who want to schedule us next year
when these guys leave,” Auriemma said
Monday night.
Count South Carolina coach Dawn Staley
among them after Stewart, Tuck and Jefferson combined for 53 points in No. 1
UConn’s 66-54 blowout of the secondranked Gamecocks.
Stewart led the way with 25 points, Tuck
had 16 points and Jefferson 12 as the
Huskies (23-0) won their 60th straight game
and improved to 19-3 in No. 1-vs.-No. 2
matchups.
“These games are a lot of fun,” said Stewart, who also had 10 rebounds and five
blocks. “They are exciting for us.’
Auriemma felt the increased vibe as his
team stepped out of its American Athletic
Conference schedule. His players soaked in
the anticipation of the season’s biggest game
— the Gamecocks (22-1) came having
opened with 22 straight wins — and played
with a fire in front of a sold-out, 18,000-seat
arena to prove themselves the best, the longtime coach said.
“The fun part is the look in their eyes,” he
said.
UConn took control early, up 30-15 midway through the second quarter.
Stewart was the main reason why, finishing
with her ninth double-double this season.
The 6-foot-4 senior also played strong defense against South Carolina’s inside stars in
A’ja Wilson and Alaina Coates. The Gamecocks duo, averaging 28 points combined
this season, ended with just about half that
(15) in their first loss of the season.
UConn handed the Gamecocks their first
loss here since falling to Texas A&M 50-48
on Feb. 10, 2013.
Wilson and Sarah Imovbioh had 13 points
apiece to lead South Carolina.
UConn again showed quickly why it has no
equal in the women’s game. Stewart and
Tuck each had six points as the Huskies
opened up a 16-8 lead. They were still ahead
20-12 when Stewart hit for a 3-pointer and a
driving layup to increase the margin.
UConn was eventually ahead by 15 points
before the Gamecocks put forth a burst in the
final four minutes of the second to cut the
lead to 35-25 at the break.
Staley said last week when discussing
UConn she’d easily trade a win over the
Huskies at the Final Four for one during the
season. “I told our players that there’s a long
way to go, a lot of basketball left, before we
get there” to the Final Four, she said.

College principal G. Bhaskar said he
heard a loud thud from his office,
where several window panes shattered when the object hit the ground.
Local officials and scientists from
the Indian Institute of Astrophysics
on Tuesday examined the 5-foot-wide
(2-meter-wide) impact crater at the
college near Vellore city, but said
they had yet to determine whether the
object was from outer space or possibly a passing airplane or man-made
satellite.
College officials said window panes
of the building shattered with the impact of the loud explosion. Several
buses parked nearby were also damaged and bits of glass from broken
windows were scattered in the buses.
The hard, jagged object is dark blue
and small enough to be held in a
closed hand. The scientists used metal
detectors to check the crater for the
presence of metals and dug up the
soil.
“The object that police have recovered from the site would have to undergo chemical analysis” to confirm
its origin, said the dean of the institute, Prof. G.C. Anupama. She said
that while it was rare for meteors to
reach the ground before burning up in
the atmosphere, it happens.

BAD AIBLING, Germany (AP)
— Two commuter trains crashed
head-on Tuesday morning in a
remote area in southern Germany, killing at least nine people
and injuring some 150, some of
whom had to be cut out of the
wreckage and transported across
a river for medical care, police
said.
The two regional trains crashed
before 7 a.m. on the single line
that runs near Bad Aibling, in
Bavaria, and that several wagons
overturned, police spokesman
Stefan Sonntag told The Associated Press. Fifty of those hurt
have serious injuries, he added.
It took hours to reach some of
the injured in the wreckage and
authorities were still working at
midday to remove the final body
from the train.

Army soldiers guard the rescue staging area around a collapsed building complex in Tainan, Taiwan,
Monday. More than 100 people are believed to be still buried in the collapsed building from a disaster
that struck during the most important family holiday in the Chinese calendar — the Lunar New Year holiday.
Taiwan seeks detention of
developers of toppled building
By ANNIE HO
Associated Press
TAINAN, Taiwan (AP) — Prosecutors have requested the detention of
the developers of a high-rise apartment building in southern Taiwan that
collapsed over the weekend following
a strong earthquake, killing dozens of
people, official media said Tuesday.
The Tainan District Prosecutors Office said Lin Ming-hui and two other
former executives, Chang Kui-an and
Cheng Chin-kui, were suspected of
professional negligence resulting in
death, Taiwan’s official Central News
Agency reported.
The office requested their detention
to prevent collusion or other acts that
could disrupt the investigation, CNA
said. The three were summoned by
prosecutors on Monday and a hearing
on the matter was being held late
Tuesday.
FTV and other Taiwanese broadcasters said Lin had changed his name
after a previous bankruptcy and had
run a multitude of companies.
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces and the U.S.-led
coalition say the government has
regained full control of Ramadi
after pushing Islamic State group
fighters out of the city’s outskirts.
The Ministry of Interior said in
a statement Tuesday that a road
linking Ramadi to the capital
Baghdad is also back under government control. Col.
Steve
Warren,
a
spokesman for the coalition, told
The Associated Press that Iraqi
security forces have control of
the whole city but “untold thousands” of improvised explosive
devices were left behind and the
threat of militant attacks remained high.
The death toll in the quake stood at
41 on Tuesday afternoon, with all but
two of the deaths coming in the building collapse. More than 100 people
are believed to still be trapped in the
debris.
Shoddy construction is suspected as
having contributed to the disaster,
with the 17-story Weiguan Golden
Dragon, built in 1989, the only major
building to collapse in the quake.
Although the shallow quake was potentially devastating, few buildings
were damaged as a result of strict construction standards in force in Taiwan,
an island that is frequently struck by
quakes.
Most of the 320 people who were
rescued from the disaster were saved
in the hours immediately after the
quake, in which the building collapsed
onto itself before toppling over onto
its side.
Among the survivors, Ko Chingchung said he had propped himself
against a wall to avoid falling onto his
girlfriend after the quake hit just before 4 a.m. Saturday. But after 20
hours, he could no longer hold on and
collapsed onto her.
“She would have soon not been able
to breathe,” Ko, who was rescued
along with his girlfriend on Sunday
morning, told reporters Monday at the
hospital where he was recovering. “I
said to her I had to lay on top of her
and she said to me it’s OK.”
Five survivors were believed to have
been pulled out on Sunday, and at least
four on Monday. One of them, Tsao
Wei-ling, called out “Here I am” as
rescuers dug through to find her.
She was found under the body of her
husband, who had shielded her from a
collapsed beam, CNA reported. Tsao’s
husband and 2-year-old son were
found dead, and five other members of
the family remained unaccounted for,
the news agency said.
Teams on Monday also rescued a 42year-old man and an 8-year-old girl.
The girl, Lin Su-chin, was recovering
in a hospital, where she told her father
and grandparents that she was looking
forward to gorging on sweets as soon
as she was well enough.
BEIRUT (AP) — A car bomb driven
by a suicide attacker exploded Tuesday
near a police officers’ club in the Syrian capital Damascus, killing at least
10 people and causing wide material
damage, state media said.
The state-run SANA news agency
said Tuesday the blast went off near a
vegetable market in the northern neighborhood of Masaken Barzeh.
State TV reported the blast occurred
near a police officers’ club, killing at
least 10. It showed footage of the blast
scene, including several damaged vehicles and one burnt-out car. The club
and the market are next to one another.
The opposition’s Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said the
blast killed eight policemen and
wounded 20 after it was detonated in
the parking lot of the officers’ club.
Such attacks are not uncommon in the
Syrian capital, the seat of power of
President Bashar Assad.
The blast came a day after an international rights group said Syrian government forces and the Russian military
have been carrying out daily cluster
bomb attacks over the past two weeks
in Syria, killing 37 people.
The Human Rights Watch report, released Monday, said that cluster munitions, which are widely banned, have
been used in at least 14 attacks across
five provinces since Jan. 26.
The attacks killed at least 37 civilians,
including six women and nine children,
and wounded dozens, HRW said.
Cluster bombs open in flight and scatter dozens of explosive submunitions
over wide areas. Some 98 States are
party to a convention banning their use
but several countries — including
Syria and Russia, as well as the U.S.,
China and Israel — have not signed the
ban.
Syrian troops have been on the offensive in the northern province of Aleppo
under the cover of Russian airstrikes in
recent weeks.
S. Korea: North blew up rocket stage to confound analysts

In February 2013, a meteor blazed

TOKYO (AP) — Minutes after North
Korea launched its rocket, South Korea’s
navy detected a rain of fragments falling
into the sea and then a sooner-than-expected disappearance of the rocket from
their radar, suggesting a possible failure.
News outlets working in real time
jumped on the idea. But it quickly
proved wrong.
South Korean officials and foreign analysts say they now believe the first stage
of the rocket had a cagey new feature: It
was deliberately rigged to blow up after
separation Sunday, for the express purpose of confounding foreign analysts.
While government leaders around the
world are trying to figure out how to
punish North Korea for its rocket launch,

From North Korea’s perspective, blowing up some of the evidence makes
sense.
