COOKEVILLE — “No amount of
money is worth what I’ve done.”
That’s what the Kentucky man accused
of killing a Pickett County father and son
and robbing their place of business in July
2014 reportedly told an agent from the
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation just a
day after the incident happened.
Joshua Clay Pyles, of Monticello, Ky.,
case would be bound over to the grand
jury and that Pyles will continue to be
held without bond.
That preliminary hearing was a long
time coming since Pyles waived preliminary hearings previously in both general

burning house, and I felt the floor
under my feet get a little spongy. One
of my feet went through the floor, and
the pant leg of my protective gear
rode up, causing me to burn my leg,”
he said.
“I just knew the floor was about to
collapse into the basement, and I remember thinking ‘I’m about to die,’”
he said.
He shouted to the firefighter behind
him, “Get out of here!”
BAXTER — After the discussion at this
month’s session of the Baxter Planning Commission, the mayor has decided not to change
the current appointment of board members
after the question arose as to the appointment’s legality.
At the meeting of the Baxter Board of
Mayor and Aldermen earlier this month, one
of the aldermen announced that he had become aware that there were two members of
the Baxter Planning Commission who did
not live in Baxter. In his research, he found
that in the city’s zoning ordinance that it says
that members of the Baxter Planning Commission must be “citizens of Baxter” who are
appointed by the mayor. He raised the question on the legality of
having two people on
the board who do not
live in the city.
At this month’s meeting of the Baxter Planning Commission, Sue
Neal, one of the two
non-resident members
of the commission, addressed the board on bewilhite
half of herself and the
other
non-resident,
Sandy Birdwell.
“I personally consider it an insult,” Neal
said. “I have worked hard for a lot of years,
and when I need something or I need a
helper, I call Sandy. I’ve never had her yet to
turn me down.”
Neal explained that both she and Birdwell
own property in Baxter, pay taxes and can
vote. Birdwell’s business is in Baxter, and
Neal works in Baxter as well.
“Sandy and I happen to be people who do
not pillow our head here, but I’m here 12
hours a day, six days a week,” Neal said.

COOKEVILLE — Watch where
you’re going and remember where
you’ve been — it’s an adage that firefighters live by each day.
But at the end of a long and successful career, it’s only natural to focus
more on remembering.
That’s something Lts. Mike Broyles
and Wayne McClain have been doing
a lot of lately, as they each retire from
a nearly 30-year career with the
Cookeville Fire Department.
“This is the best thing I’ve ever done
in my life. It feels awesome at the end
of the day to know you’ve helped
someone and maybe even saved
someone’s life,” Broyles said.
And that someone’s life you save
might even be one of your coworkers,
McClain adds.
“We literally depend on each other
for our lives,” he said.
McClain remembers a time when a
coworker likely saved his life.

Jeep crew a ‘godsend’ during recent snow storm
By LauRa MiLitana
COOKEVILLE — It’s a new group with
only a few members, but the members of the
Jeeps and Wrenches Rescue and Recovery
group became a valuable resource during the
snow storm on Jan. 22.
This is especially true for personnel at
Cookeville Regional Medical Center and the
timing was just perfect for Corey LeCompte,
CRMC respiratory therapist, to be off when
that storm hit.
“Thursday was my last day off for a while,”
he recalled. “So before I left, I put my contact
info on the board and told my supervisor that
if anyone needed a ride to or from work when
this storm hits, I would be available to help.”
The East Tennessee group was established in
October after seeing how helpful members
were in Nashville during the February 2015
ice storm. The “wrenches” part of the name
came from an event where fellow Jeep enthusiasts helped each other out with modifications on other Jeeps. Some could not afford
the cost of the upgrades and the labor to install
so everyone pitched in to help each other out.
“That’s the whole idea of the group — to pay
it forward,” LeCompte said. “We don’t accept
money or donations.”
There were six vehicles and six guys doing
the work while LeCompte’s wife and ICU
PRN, Dana Kilgore-LeCompte, did the dispatching.
“I lost count of how many people we
helped,” she said.
The first person LeCompte helped early Friday as the storm was hitting was a fellow respiratory therapist in Cumberland Cove.
“The roads were terrible up there,” he said.
“But she had to get to work. So I got her to the
hospital and then met with other group memSee Snow, Page 2

COOKEVILLE — Members
of the community will get the
chance to show some love —
just before Valentine’s Day —
to people with disabilities by
participating in the Cupid’s
Chase 5k put on by Community
Options.
This year’s event is set for Saturday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m. beginning at Tennessee Tech’s Tucker
Stadium. Registration begins at
8 a.m.
“Community Options provides
supported living, day services
and employment support for the
individuals in our agency,”
Jeanette Preece, Community
Options associate executive director, said. However, our dedication and commitment goes
beyond those ‘job duties.’
“We believe in what we are
doing and we think of our individuals as family members, not
just work. We want them to
have the best life possible and
that means more than just making sure they are healthy and
safe. It means that we want
them to be happy in their life
and that’s what all our staff
strive to accomplish on a day to

The price for runners who
sign up for Cupid’s Chase 5k
before Feb. 12 is $30, and after
that, the price goes up to $40.
Proceeds benefit Community
Options, which provides housing, support, services and advocacy to help empower people
with
disabilities.
The
Cookeville branch was established in 2004 and currently
provides residential services
for 18 individuals, as well as
community-based day programs for them.
Last year, Cupid’s Chase
brought in nearly $4,500 for the
program.
“Community Options takes
the funds raised by the Cupid’s
Chase 5K race to purchase
needed items such as medication, therapy equipment, home
modifications, furniture and appliances,” Preece said. “We are
most proud of being able to
take all of the individuals on
outings such as to the General
Jackson, Dixie Stampede and
other activities. These type of
activities are very special. We
spend quality time with each
other and we make memories
for the individuals and staff.”

provides service to hospital

bers in the parking lot to see if
anyone else needed any help.”
Pam Tisher, CRMC nursing supervisor, is one of those who received the assistance of
LeCompte and crew.
“Because of this group, we
were able to maintain operations
in a safe and effective manner,”
Tisher said. “Many of our nurses
and support staff commute to
Cookeville from areas outside
the immediate community,
which makes it problematic during severe weather events like
the one we recently experienced.
We at CRMC are very appreciative of the Jeeps and Wrenches
Rescue and Recovery for their
unwavering support of the hospital and community.”
LeCompte and Karen Gann,
fellow coordinator, recalled just
how grateful everyone was for
their service.
“The furthest I went was
Lafayette,” Gann said, while
LeCompte went east, almost to
Oak Ridge, to help a home
health caregiver.
“We don’t take money, but we
do accept sweet treats,” Gann
said with a laugh, recalling how
a home health caregiver’s client
gave her homemade cookies as
thank you for delivering her
caregiver.
“In this area, we really could
use this type of service with the
type of terrain we have,” Kilgore-LeCompte said. “And it’s
also fun getting out in the snow
with a Jeep.”
This is a volunteer service only
to be used in emergency situations where services are needed
for transportation when 4-wheel
drive vehicles are required for
travel in inclement weather conditions.
“We don’t do grocery runs,”
LeCompte said. “But some
group members did pull emergency services and semi trucks
out of ditches.
“If what we do saves one person’s life, it’s worth it.”
Anyone can be a member and
owning a Jeep is not a requirement.
“As long as it’s a 4-wheel drive
vehicle, you’re welcome to
join,” LeCompte said.
“They really were a godsend,”
Linda Crawford, chief clinical
officer at CRMC, said. “Without
them, we would have been in a
whole new situation with regards to staffing.”
To find out more information,
search for “Jeeps and Wrenches
Rescue and Recovery of MidTN” on Facebook.
And that firefighter freed McClain’s foot from the crumbling
floor and hauled him out of the
burning house.
“When we got out of that house,
I thought, ‘He just saved my
life,’” McClain said.
While bonding among coworkers is typical, such experiences
commonly shared by firefighters
make their professional bonds especially strong.
“Firefighting isn’t just a profession, it’s also a brotherhood —
and these guys are among the
best. I’m proud to call them my
brothers,” Capt. Daryl Blair said
of Broyles and McClain.
Chief Roger Fuqua agreed.
“They’re absolutely first rate,” he
said.
Both Capt. Blair and Chief
Fuqua said the absence of the
lieutenants following their retirement will be felt throughout the
fire department.
But what exactly makes people
like Broyles, McClain and many
others in the brotherhood of firefighters run into situations that
most people run from?
Early fascination
For Broyles, he said his fascination with fire fighting began at an
early age, as a child growing up
in Sparta.
“My family lived near the
Sparta Fire Department, and
when I was a kid, I would watch
the fire engines as they left to go
on calls. I was fascinated by
them, and I remember thinking
what a neat job that would be to
have someday,” he said.
His career began in Sparta, but
after only a few years, he landed
a job with the Cookeville Fire
Department, where he remained
for the rest of his career.
“And I got to do what I grew up
wanting to do,” he said.
Harrowing situations
It hasn’t always been easy. In
fact, like McClain and many
other firefighters, Broyles can recall being in numerous dangerous
situations.
One in particular stands out in
his memory.
“The call was to a restaurant on
Highway 111, and when we
pulled up, we could see some
slight smoke coming from the
building. It wasn’t heavy, but it
was enough that we knew there
was something in there,” he said.
Ultimately, after Broyles and
other firefighters went into the
building, its metal floor — along
with all the tables, chairs and
other pieces of restaurant equipment that had been on it — fell in.
“The drink machines fell inches
away from us,” he said.
And all of the electrical cables
and wiring, the plastic coating of
which had melted off from the
heat of the fire, fell in a tangle
around them.
“I didn’t think we were going to
make it out of that one. We were
so tangled up in all of those wires,
we had to crawl to get out of the
building. But you learn from your
mistakes,” he said.
Constant training
In fact, firefighters are always
training.
“I think this is probably the besttrained fire department in the
state,” Broyles said.
McClain agreed, saying he always appreciated the opportunity
to mentor new firefighters.
“There are numerous training
topics, but especially for driver
engineers, learning to drive the
truck defensively is an important
early lesson,” he said.
“A fire truck weighs 10 times
more than a car, and while we
may need to get to the scene fast,
that doesn’t need to come at a
danger to others,” McClain said,
pointing out that a lack of caution
in that regard can easily create another critical incident for a department already trying to
respond to an initial call for service.
“We may respond to only one
actual structure fire in a month,
but we have to be ready for that
call when it comes,” Broyles said.
Trial by fire, literally
McClain had been a police officer for a short time before transferring to the fire department, and
he was told at the time he started
that the department averaged
about one structure fire per
month.
Little did he know he was about
to have a literal trial by fire into
his chosen profession.
“We were called out to two different fires on my first day! And
there were four fires in my first
three shifts,” he recalls.
In 1987, the Cookeville Fire Department averaged a total of about
200 calls per year. In 2015, Chief
Fuqua said, it averaged about
2,600 calls, many of which now
include medical response and extrication — responsibilities the
fire department didn’t have 30
years ago.
Now, medical responses make
up approximately 51 percent of
the fire department’s calls for
service.
Protective gear
The responsibility of being a
firefighter isn’t the only thing
that’s heavy.
The protective gear and oxygen
tanks each firefighter wears
weigh between 60 and 70 pounds
— and it begins to feel heavier
and heavier as the years pass, McClain said.
Broyles added that many people
also have a misconception that
their protective suits are fireproof.
“They’re not fireproof. In fact,
they only hold up for about 20
seconds in direct flame. That’s
not very long, but it could mean
the difference between life and
death,” he said.
Daily life
But between the periods of excitement, when the crew is called
out on a service call of some sort,
life for firefighters can fall into a
sort of familial routine.
“We spend a third of our lives
with each other, so we’re more
like family than coworkers,”
Broyles said.
And a third of their lives is true.
Each crew of approximately 18
firefighters works a 24-hour shift
and then gets two days off, while
a second- and then third-shift
crew takes up the rotation.
When Broyles and McClain
started their jobs nearly 30 years
ago, the crews were even more
tight-knit.
“There were only first and second shifts, so we worked 24 hours
and had 24 hours off,” Broyles
explained.
Disrupted reminiscing
The reminiscing was disrupted
by a call for service that sent the
crew into overdrive.
The bays opened and the trucks
pulled out with sirens screaming
as the firefighters made their way
to the scene of the call.
And Broyles and McClain remained behind, watching them
go.
Did that call for service make
the retirees still want to jump
onto those trucks?
One nodded yes as the other
shook his head no.
Both, however, agreed on two
things: the Cookeville Fire Department and city of Cookeville
itself have both been good to
them over the years, providing
much more than just a livelihood.
And neither of them are ready
just quite yet to settle for an armchair retirement.

MURDER: Accused man
denied bond; case bound over
From Page A1
provide counsel to Pyles since his
arrest in connection with the
murders.
“This type of high-profile case
is highly technical and requires
proper attention and consideration,” he told the Herald-Citizen.
“This type of case requires
proper respect to the judicial
process and judicial system be
observed and followed.”
TBI Special Agent Billy Miller
provided testimony at Friday’s
hearing, and much of that testimony involved a statement Pyles
reportedly made to Agent Miller
on the day following the deaths
of the Dowdys.
In that statement, Pyles reportedly told the agent he had been
having a period of financial difficulty, and when his son became
ill, he began considering robbery.
“What if I just robbed a place to
get some money?” Pyles reportedly told the agent he had been
thinking prior to the incident.
In that statement, the defendant
allegedly admitted to having
bought a handgun from someone
who had removed the serial number from the weapon — but he
said he hadn’t originally intended
to use it for such a purpose.
According to Agent Miller’s
testimony, the statement provided by Pyles describes the defendant as “driving around
looking for a place to rob,” and
he “wound up at the Sugar
Shack” (the Dowdys’ business).
He waited until the other patrons left the drinking establishment, went out to his truck and
changed shirts reportedly because he was aware of surveillance cameras, then returned
inside to commit the robbery, according to the statement he provided to the TBI.
But inside, Pyles alleges in that
statement that he panicked and
shot Dannie Dowdy, then in further panic, turned the gun on
Dowdy’s son, Cody, who was
also there.
After he shot the younger man,
Pyles reportedly “shot him again
so he wouldn’t suffer,” and also
shot the older man a second time.
With the father and son lying
dead or dying, Pyles grabbed
some money out of the cash
drawer of the establishment’s
register and fled, the defendant
reportedly admits in the statement.
He had $400, and Pyles allegedly “threw it in the lake”
upon realizing “this is not worth
what I have done,” according to
Agent Miller’s testimony regarding the statement.
Pyles reportedly further expressed remorse in that statement, supposedly telling the
agent that “being put to death
would be the only way to make
amends” for what he had done
and apologizing to his family for
the pain and embarrassment his
actions caused them.
Members of the defendant’s
family were present in the courtroom on Friday, as well as numerous family and friends of the
victims, several of whom suppressed sobs as testimony was
presented.
A motion for the possibility of
setting a bond was considered,
and Bray cited numerous reasons
for the court to rule in favor of
setting a bond for Pyles, including no prior criminal history, voluntary
cooperation
with
authorities and significant proof
of remorse.
District Attorney General
Bryant Dunaway and Assistant
District Attorney General Owen
Burnett, however, argued that remorse is by state law not a valid
factor and asked that bond, if any,
not be less than $2 million.
“The state doesn’t care if the defendant has shown remorse. The
state wishes the defendant had
been more remorseful before the
event ever happened,” Dunaway
told the court.
The prosecution instead offered
several other factors that should
be considered.
For instance, they pointed out
that Pyles is not a resident of Tennessee and has virtually no family ties to the state, that he can
show no proof of gainful employment and that he has a high
likelihood of being convicted of
the crimes for which he is accused.
“The nature of this offense is
absolutely egregious,” Dunaway
said, pointing out that Pyles is
charged with shooting “two innocent victims, not once but twice.”
The district attorney said he believed that physical evidence
would corroborate the testimony
presented at the preliminary hearing.
Judge Burnett ultimately ruled
in favor of the prosecution, denying bond for Pyles.
“There are a few instances in
which it is appropriate to hold a
defendant without bond, and
under the circumstances of this
case, I believe this is appropriate,” he said.
The ruling was met by sounds
of defeat from friends and family
of Pyles who were present, while
friends and family of the Dowdys
seemed to heave a collective
sigh.
Following the hearing, Bray
told the Herald-Citizen, “At the
end of the day, my job to my
client is to make the prosecution
prove its case with sound arguments, real evidence and reliable
testimony. We asked the court to
set a bond, as Mr. Pyles has been
held without bond since July 31,
2014. The state asked for a $2
million bond at the hearing today.
That’s the first time that any sort
of bond offer has been mentioned. The judge decided, by the
applicable law and the proof that
he heard today, that the defendant
should continue to be held without a bond.”

Neal told the Baxter Planning
Commission that she was actually the founding member of the
commission, and cited her work
that played a large part in getting
the Baxter Depot/Welcome Center in Baxter, as well as the teeball field.
She also said that it was her understanding that the issue first
came up because another alderman had been interested on
being on the commission but had
been declined because there
were already too many members.
“I want to tell you, you all have
the authority, you can do what
you want to, but the intention for
this board was not to duplicate
the (board of the) mayor and all
the aldermen,” Neal said. “That
wasn’t the purpose. If it was, you
wouldn’t need a second board.
You would just let them take
care of it. This was to bring in
people who had a desire and a
pride in Baxter and wanted to
improve it and plan the way we
did our future events.”
Commission member Cris
Austin expressed his concern
about what this might mean for
the future of the commission.
“So we can have somebody on
this board who lives in California making decisions for us if
they have property here?” he
asked.
“I’m not going to appoint
someone who lives in California,” Mayor Jeff Whilhite said.
“I did talk to Henry Fincher (city
attorney). He hasn’t studied it
and given me an opinion about it
yet, but his initial opinion was
that if they enjoy the same political rights that anybody else
does, that they’re a citizen. Of
course they vote — if you own
property, you can vote.”
“I’ve been on this board with
you for a long time,” Alderman
Harmon Garris told Neal. “I remember we tried to make people
come and get on the board and
nobody wanted to come on the
board. I tried to get off of it one
time, but I had to come right
back on because nobody wanted
to come on. I think you’ve done
fine; Sandy’s done fine. I think
we’re fine the way we are. ... I’d
like to see the board stay the way
it is. We’ve done a lot of good
things. ... The people who are on
it, as long as they want to be on
it, I don’t see any problem with
it.”
After listening to the discussions, Wilhite determined that he
would leave Neal and Birdwell
on the commission.
“My appointments have been
challenged, and they’ve been
challenged because of the word
‘citizen,’” he said.
“So far, that’s not enough for
me to change my mind on the
appointments that I’ve made. If
somebody wants to legally challenge that, then that’s fine. We’ll
discuss that at a later date.”

The chionophobia
is rising
N
ow that you’ve clawed your
way out of last week’s
snowstorm, gotten your car
out of that ditch and your eyes have
lost a little of that shiny, crazed look,
you’ll be glad to know it’s only 50
more days until spring.
True, March is usually when we
get really clobbered. We
could see
enough fresh
snow to bury
Derryberry
Hall, all the
way to the
eagle’s beak.
But on the up
side, we’ve
been bloodied.
Bob
We’re braced.
McMillan
Nobody I
know is still
saying wistfully, “Gee, I wish we’d
get just one good snow this winter.”
It’s clear now that there is no “good”
snow. Snow is evil. Snow is the
White Death.
But how much do we actually
know about snow? Other than the
fact that it’s out to get you. To better
know the enemy, here are a few entirely random facts about snow.
The average snowflake is made up
of 200 ice crystals. So, snow is nature’s way of making ice fly. Two
hundred ice crystals would just drop
and scatter like salt. But a snowflake
can wing its way into hard-to-get
places. Snow is nature’s way of
making the very most of your winter
misery.
Every winter, an average of one
septillion (that’s 1 followed by 24
zeros) flakes fall across the planet.
Snowflakes are not loners. They
hunt in packs. The average flake
travels at 3 mph, unless it’s racing
you to that hill up ahead. Then it and
all its fluffy buddies can go 100
mph. You can run, but you just can’t
get traction.
A snowflake, on the average,
weighs 0.02 grams. If it snows 10
inches deep and you clear a sidewalk that’s five feet wide and 50
feet long, you’ll be lifting as much
as 1,300 pounds of snow. Or would
have if you hadn’t slipped, fallen
face-first in the stuff and the road
grader hadn’t tossed two tons of
frozen sludge on top of your whimpering, frozen form. There is no
mercy in a snowstorm. Surprisingly
little levity, either.
The biggest flake ever recorded
fell on Jan. 28, 1887 on Ft. Keogh.
Montana. It measured 15 inches in
diameter. Likely, it had friends.
Which explains why you’ve never
heard of Ft. Keogh, Montana. It’s
now Mount Keogh. The most snow
recorded in a 24-hour period fell in
1913 on Georgetown, Colo., 63
inches. By then, the Ft. Keogh survivors had resettled to Georgetown
because they’d heard winters were
nice there. Snow, it’s just gonna
getcha.
Eighty percent of the earth’s fresh
water is frozen in the form of snow
and ice. It covers 12% of the earth’s
surface. Unless you’re at work when
a heavy snow suddenly cuts loose
and you notice how little tread your
tires actually have. Then snow and
ice cover all the earth’s surface as
far as you can tell.
Although we saw precious few
Friday morning a week ago until it
was much, much too late, the first
snow plow was patented in America
in the 1840s. There have been more
than 100 patents issued since then
for snow removal devices. This
doesn’t include the flamethrowers
that many here are now attempting
to lash to their cars so they’ll never
need to wait on the plow again.
Odds are, there’ll also be a lot fewer
people poking along at 2 mph next
time the white stuff falls. Necessity
is the mother of invention. Snow is
the mother of heads up, I’m coming
through!
Early snowplows were actually
frowned on in the 1800s in the Midwest and New England where snow
covers roads for extended periods.
Many towns hired people called
snow wardens to make sure snow
on roads was thick and flattened.
Drivers put runners on their horse
carriages and wagons in winter.
They didn’t want their snow
plowed. Snow wardens used horsedrawn rollers to pack down the
snow. Today, motorists have replaced snow wardens. Because, no
matter how fast you get out once
snow starts falling, some guy in a
monster truck will have beat you to
the street, mashing flakes and slush
into a deadly glaze.
Snow accentuates driving habits.
Notably, all the bad ones. People
who cut out in front of you will keep
doing so even though they see you
skidding at them out of all control.
Slow drivers will come to a complete stop, usually at the bottom of a
hill. Sideways. And maniacs will
keep gunning their motors, skidding
and yelling “YeeeeeHAW” until all
the ditches are full. Then the snow
haze settles and all the four-wheelers come out, crisscrossing roads
and yards like deranged bees, many
of them piloted by people too young
to have drivers licenses.
Which is okay. By then, there’s no
driving going on. Just the grinding
of teeth, slow motion collisions and
the whistling of the wind over
snow-softened lumps. In the muffled silence, from inside the lumps,
you can hear, “No, really, I drive
good in snow!”
It’s the season of chionophobia,
which is Greek for “fear of snow.”
Or, in the common tongue, “Die,
winter, die.”

Politicians’ candid thoughts on Black History Month
A
fter four decades, Black History
Month remains controversial.
What is your position? Should the celebration remain unchanged? Should the
commemoration of African-American
milestones be spread throughout the year?
Or should a color-blind, seamlessly integrated timeline of the accomplishments of
all races and cultures be America’s goal?
I took it upon myself to ask a collection
of presidential candidates, government
spokespersons and media pundits for
their gut instincts on Black History
Month. Any connection you draw between these unguarded, off-the-cuff comments and specific individuals are entirely
up to you.
One speaker confided, “I see America as
a land of equal opportunity, where if your
father and your brother got to live in a
white house — or casa blanca — with a
rose garden, you have an equal opportunity to do so as well.”
Another political mover and shaker proclaimed, “Gone are the days when blacks
were regarded as less than human. Oh,
hey, could you JUMP THROUGH
THESE HOOPS for me before registering to vote?”
One official shared, “It’s a national disgrace that blacks had to sweat in the hot
sun picking cotton. According to the U.S.
Constitution, ethanol production would
have been a much better choice.”
Bold assertions were common. (“I’m
Danny
Tyree
sure if I had been
president in the
1860s, I would
have done exactly
what Abraham Lincoln did — except
without the whole
‘boots on the
ground’ thing. And
beards and
stovepipe hats? Can
you PAY a focus
group enough to
like presidents with
beards with
stovepipe hats?”)
One interviewee opined, “Booker T.
Washington. W.E.B. Du Bois. The
Tuskegee Airmen. Today’s AfricanAmericans stand on the shoulders of giants. Speaking of that, I wish you’d stoop
a little. I can’t see my reflection in the
mirror.”
Comments included, “And I truly believe that steel-driving man John Henry
would have laid down his hammer and
died much more peacefully if someone
had slipped him some medicinal marijuana — and the knowledge that his opponent the steam-powered hammer
would eventually be denied its supply of
coal.”
One leader agreed, “I don’t know where
America would be today without the contributions of black citizens. Um, I’m not
even sure where America is today WITH
the contributions of black citizens. Geography is not my strong suit. I just know I
can see Beijing from my front porch. You
bet’cha.”
I couldn’t resist recording the observation, “I don’t really know what to say
about this ‘Roots’ remake on TV. I know
that I’ve done an exhaustive search of
‘TV Guide’ and not a single writer would
ever come out and say definitively that
this Kunta Kinte guy was not Canadian.”
Posterity needs to know, “Of course,
with a concealed carry permit, Rosa Parks
could have had the whole &^%$# bus.
I’m just saying.”
A progressive respondent argued, “I
know they called the Sidney Poitier character MISTER Tibbs, but I think he
should have been allowed to use the girls’
shower if that was how he rolled.”
Celebrate black history, even if hidden
agendas do tend to creep into politicians’
praises. “I have no doubt that, if he was
alive today, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
would declare, ‘I have been to the mountaintop — I had to climb there to escape
the rising ocean levels predicted by
heretofore wildly inaccurate computer
models. Any day now, the polar bears will
be floating into the Promised Land. Any
day now...”

Tyrades.”
Letters to the Editor
Above and beyond
There are many people, thank goodness,
who do selfless things for others and for
their communities. We need to recognize
them, for what they do, because they embody what good folks we all need to be.
My wife and I have just witnessed “giving” that goes way beyond…
Linda Westin has been president of the
local “Friends of Cookeville/Putnam
County Animals” group since she and
several others formed it over 10 years ago.
This group is mostly responsible for the
building of the new animal shelter and for
saving the lives of countless number of
animals during the time they took up their
cause. She has dedicated her life, with her
husband, Eric’s support, to fundraise,
work with city management, market their
mission, and spend countless hours at the
shelter to set up the structure of recruiting
and training volunteers. Every year, the
“Animal” group’s main fundraiser, “The
Fur Ball” is held at the Leslie Towne Centre, with proceeds for the Shelter. It took
place this Saturday night, Jan. 30.
On the preceeding Tuesday night, Jan,
26, the Westins home burned to the
ground. They lost their two dogs and their
cat, that they loved so much.
What is remarkable, since, is that in the
four days since this tragedy, Linda’s concentration and efforts, again with Eric’s
help and support, has been all on preparation for the “Fur Ball.” She put any personal grieving and need to work on a new
house, on “hold” until the “Fur Ball” is
over and a success again.
We don’t know how you ever thank one,
like this, enough. They, despite losing
everything in their house, want nothing
for themselves from anyone.
We, however, are donating to the animal
shelter in memory of their pets, Scooter,
Smushpants, and Lacy, whose barking
Tuesday night, may have saved Eric’s life,
by alerting him to the fire. If anyone feels
as we do, any contribution to the shelter,
is the best recognition of the sacrifices the
Westins have made.

Thank you
My husband drives a big truck for Cumberland Container. He broke down on I-
40 West at the 357 on Monday morning.
It was about 11 degrees. He had no heat
and was cold.
A state trooper stopped and checked on
him and left. He came back in about 30
minutes and let Bruce sit in his car till the
mechanic got there. He brought him some
coffee to warm him up.
I want to say thank you so very much to
Sgt. Eric McCormick. He was a true
blessing.
There are still very special people in this
world and he is one of those people.
Thank you again, Sgt. Eric McCormick.

Let’s get praying
President, Congress, House of Representatives, senators, governors, everyone,
please bring us together as the nation we
once were. As a family brings us together.
(2 Chronicles 7:13) Pray believing everything starts with prayer.
If Cookevillians will just start praying for
Cookeville, then we can pray for the rest
of Tennessee. Then for other states. Let’s
get started, Cookeville. Look at the one
person who wanted to take “One nation
under God” out of the pledge of allegiance. All the trouble she caused. That
was just one person.
Imagine what could happen if all of
Cookeville prayed. Unity, that’s what we
need. There is strength in numbers. I want
to thank the many men and women who
fought and died for the freedom we have.
That is freedom for EVERYONE, even
the ones who believed God isn’t of any
importance. “Our society has strived to
avoid any possibility of offending anyone,
except GOD” - Billy Graham.
I didn’t write this to offend anyone. I just
want the freedom that these men and
women fought and died for. Freedom of
religion (seems like every religion but
Christianity has the right to practice what
they believe). Freedom to pray no matter
where we are; school, restaurants, out on
the street, anywhere. I want the freedom
that was ours for 200 years. I am going to
start praying for Cookeville. How many
are going to join me? Let’s pray brothers
and sisters, let’s pray.

Facing changes
Looking out of my window recently, snow
was everywhere and it was beautiful!
Thanks go out to those who shared their pictures of their neighborhoods.
The thoughts of the cold began to melt as
soon as those pictures appeared. Outside my
windows, were some of the most beautiful
icicles I have ever seen, glistening in the sun.
A friend just sent me an email regaling the
problems involved in growing old. I deleted
it. Yes, at my age I am learning a lot about
that phenomenon, but I prefer to focus on
our ability to see what is new — and growing.
There are cycles in life. We do not need to
remain stagnant, by refusing to observe
what still is. We can ignore what had been
by taking hold of what can be, merely by
changing our focus.
I have been working on my biography and
my life began to take on a new focus when
I realized how blessed I was to have been
raised by my grandparents on a farm, away
from the turmoil of big city life and in those
days, the reminder that our nation was suffering through a depression. I joined the air
force expecting to attend a trade school. Instead, I was sent overseas to Japan, and
learned to deal with people who had just lost
a war, to say nothing about their young men
who died in that war. I stayed there until the
Korean started and came home to realize
my family and friends hardly knew we were
at war.
I began to realize I was different than those
I knew, only because we had not shared the
same experiences. It took me years to realize, I was no longer that timid young farm
boy who left the others behind. It took me
years to realize we had very little in common so, I began to gather new friends, new
acquaintances and I became a different person.
My DNA had not changed, but just about
everything else did. I like this new persona,
probably because I have been a sort of a
wanderer, enjoying new experiences, developing new friends and all the while, reflecting on my past.
Life is good as long as we can look forward to the future, based on the experiences
that brought us this point, and become like
the new growth that is everywhere around
us.

Man involved in deadly
Livingston crash dies
By AMY DAVIS
TBI
Authorities are warning the public that pills like these, which look like Percocet, but are
fentanyl, are 50 times more powerful than heroin and can be deadly.
TBI, PCSD seize clandestine
drugs, warn public of dangers
COOKEVILLE — An ongoing, joint investigation by the
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Putnam County
Sheriff’s Department has resulted in a significant seizure of
counterfeit pills that pose a potentially deadly risk to users.
While executing a search warrant at a home on Massa Road
Friday, authorities discovered
approximately 300 pills stamped
with markings characteristic of
Percocet. However, laboratory
analysis performed by TBI
forensic scientists today determined the pills instead contained
fentanyl, a pain killer 50 times
more potent than heroin that can
be deadly in high doses.
“Previously, the General Assembly recognized the dangers
surrounding heroin in Tennessee
and enhanched the penalties for
those dealing the drug,” said
TBI Director Mark Gwyn.
“With fentanyl being more potent, more dangerous and potentially more deadly than heroin, it
may be in the best interest for
the state for lawmakers to consider a similar increase in penalties to further send a message to
drug dealers, while protecting
the citizens of Tennessee.”
During the execution of the
search warrant this morning, authorities also seized approximately a half a pound of
marijuana, 100 pills of Dilaudid,
and a large amount of cash.
“I am proud of the efforts of
our Narcotics Unit and the high
level of cooperation displayed
with our law enforcement partners,” said Putnam County
Sheriff Eddie Farris. “This investigation demonstrates the
dangers present in our community as it relates to drugs. Our
citizens can be assured that as
long as I am Sheriff we will
continue to be relentless in our
pursuit of anyone using or selling narcotics in Putnam County.
In 2014, in anticipation of a
proliferation of fentanyl in Tennessee, Gwyn proposed the
agency launch a program to protect agents and forensic scientists who may come into contact
with the drug with auto-injectors containing Naloxone,
which can potentially save an
individual from a fentanyl overdose.
Consumers should only use
prescription medications obtained through a licensed pharmacy and avoid purchasing
prescription medications online
or through illicit channels.
150,000 Tennesseans could lose food stamps April 1
By TRAVIS LOLLER
Associated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) — An estimated 150,000 Tennesseans could
lose food stamp benefits on April
1 if they don’t meet work requirements that were waived for several years because of the Great
Recession.

Stephanie Jarnagin said the
agency began sending out notices
earlier this winter to people who
could lose benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program, as the federal program

Monday
PUTNAM COUNTY — Governor Bill Haslam’s State of the
State address will air on WCTE
Upper Cumberland PBS Monday, Feb. 1, at 6 p.m.
On Jan. 21, Governor Haslam
announced his legislative agenda
for the 2016 session, continuing
his focus on education, public
safety, and efficient and effective
state government. Major focuses
will include the Drive to 55 initiative and the Focus On College
and
University
Success
(FOCUS) act to increase postsecondary student success, the
Public Safety Act of 2016, the
Fetal Remains Act, and the Efficiency in Handgun Permitting
Act.
Coverage of the Governor’s address to the state legislature will
begin at 6 p.m. on Feb. 1. WCTE
is found on Charter cable channel
8 and DISH and DirecTV channel 22.
is officially known.
The program requires able-bodied adults ages 18 through 49 who
have no children or other dependents at home to work, volunteer or
attend education or job-training
courses at least 80 hours a month.
If they don’t, their benefits are cut
off after three months.
The work requirement was
waived during the recession but
the waiver ended in at least 21
states, including Tennessee, on
Jan. 1. That triggered the threemonth limit for recipients to comply with work requirements. If
they don’t, they lose their food
stamps on April 1.

Officials at several social services agencies in Tennessee said
they either weren’t aware of the
change or didn’t know whether
they had clients who would be affected.
Terry Work, the founder of Helping Hands of Hickman County,
said she wasn’t aware of the
change even though her 27-yearold son is one of those affected.
He received a letter saying he
would lose his food stamps on
April 1, but Work said she didn’t
know it was part of a bigger
change affecting more than 1 million low-income Americans
around the country.

LIVINGSTON — A third person involved in what had been
deemed “a terrible tragedy” in
Livingston has died.
Johnny Halfacre, 66, of Livingston, a former city alderman
for 20 years, died Wednesday at
Upper Cumberland Hospice and
Palliative Care in Cookeville.
He had been the driver of a
pickup truck that struck the rear
of a city garbage truck on Nov.
10 — an accident that claimed
the lives of two sanitation workers.
Those who knew Halfacre
speculated that a medical emergency might have caused him to
lose control of his vehicle. He
had been airlifted to Vanderbilt
University Medical Center due
to his injuries, and, according to
his son, Chris Halfacre, was still
experiencing
complications
from the accident as well as a
long battle with cancer.
“He never did really recover
from it, but I’m sure it was a little bit of both,” his son said.
“Most of the time he was in the
hospital, but we tried to keep
him at home as long as we
could.”
Authorities and citizens alike
called November’s accident “a
terrible
tragedy.”
Johnny
Massingille, 51, of Allons and
Anthony Toney, 22, of Livingston had been emptying
garbage cans behind the sanitation truck when the wreck happened on East Main Street near
Livingston’s Save-a-Lot.
Halfacre’s family said “Johnny
simply loved life.”
In addition to serving as a city
alderman from 1986 to 2006, he
had been a Livingston Municipal Airport committee chairman
and owned and operated Livingston Handle Company. He
was a deacon at Livingston
Church of Christ and loved riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, playing golf, making
music, flying airplanes, hunting
and karate.
“First, let me say that Johnny
was a very close friend to my
family and me,” Livingston
Mayor Curtis Hayes said. “I believe it would be fair to say my
father–in-law and Johnny were
like brothers.
“I had the pleasure to serve on
the city council with Johnny for
six years, and it was clear that he
had a special place in his heart
for the Livingston Airport. He
secured over $5 million in state
and federal funds to ensure that
Livingston had an airport to be
proud of.”
The Livingston City Council
even named the airport’s 10 new
state-of-the-art T-hangers the
“Johnny Halfacre T-Hangers.”
“Johnny was a pillar in the
community and will be deeply
missed,” Hayes said.
Halfacre’s funeral was Saturday.

Hope for answers as release of Amtrak crash evidence nears
By MICHAEL R. SISAK
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eight
months after a deadly Amtrak derailment, federal investigators are poised to
release evidence and reports that could
help clear up the mystery of why the
train streaked into a sharp curve at double the speed limit.
The release, expected Monday, will be
the first major development in the inves-
tigation since a preliminary report a few
weeks after the May 12 crash in which
the National Transportation Safety
Board pinpointed excessive speed as a
key factor. A final report isn’t expected
for months.
The train was accelerating out of an 80
mph speed zone when it should have
been slowing to 50 mph for the coming
curve, investigators said. It reached 106
mph just before the engineer activated
emergency brakes.
David Hernandez, who lives near the
tracks, said the crashing train sounded
like shopping carts smashing together.
“They go so fast up there,” Hernandez
said.
But why, with more than 300 northbound Amtrak trains safely navigating
the curve every week and scores more
from Philadelphia’s commuter rail, did
Train 188 speed to a derailment that left
eight dead and more than 200 injured?
In the absence of an official conclu-
sion, several theories have emerged.
Early in the investigation, the NTSB
focused on whether the train had been
hit with a rock or other projectile minutes before the crash. The left-side of the
locomotive’s windshield had a grapefruit-sized fracture.
The operator of a commuter train running along the same tracks reported
being hit and passengers on another Amtrak train said something struck their
train.
“The only person that really knows for
sure is the guy who was sitting in the cab
of that locomotive,” said David B.
Clarke, a railroad expert at the University of Tennessee.
Even that may not be the case: A few
days after the crash, the 32-year-old
Bostian told the NTSB he did not recall
anything after ringing the train’s bell as
he passed through the North Philadelphia station about three miles before the
curve.

Cash flow could
be issue for 4
GOP contenders
By JULIE BYKOWICZ
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Money may be growing tight for
four Republican presidential
hopefuls clustered under Donald
Trump and Ted Cruz — just
when they’re about to need it the
most.
Financial reports coming out
Sunday will show who began the
year with enough cash to put
their long-range campaign plans
into motion. For Chris Christie,
Jeb Bush and John Kasich, the
aim is a strong showing in New
Hampshire on Feb. 9 that powerboosts them deep into primary
season. Marco Rubio’s imperative is to do well enough in the
first four states to vote that he can
make a sustained climb in the
weeks that follow.
That sort of long slog would be
costly because it involves travel
around the two dozen states that
hold contests on or before March
15. And some of those states, including Virginia, Florida and
Ohio, have expensive advertising
markets.
“If you’re going to proceed
after New Hampshire, you’re absolutely going to need considerable funds,” said Fred Malek,
who has helped four decades of
Republican presidential candidates raise money. “The pace of
the primaries builds up rapidly.
It’s far better to already have the
cash on hand rather than have to
ramp up.”
The financial health of the campaigns of Christie, Kasich, Bush
and Rubio is critically important
because they’re competing not
only with each other, but with
Trump, a billionaire who has
vowed to spend whatever it takes
to win, and Cruz, who began the
year with $19 million in the bank
— an amount that probably exceeds most of his rivals. The
foursome is considered to be
competing for mainstream Republicans in a campaign that has
seen Trump and Cruz most effectively tap populist anger and disdain for the establishment.
In addition to the candidates,
the outside political groups
known as super PACs helping
them must turn in progress reports on their fundraising and
spending Sunday.
Stanley Hubbard, a billionaire
Minnesota broadcast executive,
said he’s poised to write a large
check to a super PAC backing
any one of his preferred candidates, Rubio, Christie and Bush,
among others.
“If we get someone who really
has a chance of doing something,
I’m ready,” he said. “Someone
just needs to rise to the top.”
Asked if he is confident anyone
will have enough money to compete with Trump or Cruz, he said:
“No, I do not feel confident. But
I’m hopeful.”
There are signs that Rubio, a
Florida senator, could be facing a
cash crisis.
After his campaign began leasing corporate jets and hiring
dozens of additional employees
at the end of the year, it recently
downsized its advertising plans
in Iowa, New Hampshire and
South Carolina, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s
CMAG. His campaign said it
would air a 30-minute Rubio
town hall over the weekend on
several Iowa TV stations. Federal
broadcast filings show that sets
him back at least $12,000.
On Friday, Rubio acknowledged the obvious, telling reporters he’s not going to be the
candidate with the most campaign cash. He also said he believes his campaign has spent
money wisely, building up
staffing slowly and trimming the
ad buy to save money.
For Bush, the budget crunch arrived in October, when a
fundraising shortfall — combined with the realization that the
primary could last well into 2016
— prompted him to narrow what
had been a large national campaign to focus squarely on New
Hampshire.
“It’s super hard to raise money,”
said Anthony Scaramucci, a New
York-based top fundraiser for
Bush. “We’ve knuckled down to
the new reality.” But he said the
Bush finance team is working furiously and “generating cash
every day for the campaign.”
Judging by their ad buys,
Christie and Kasich haven’t been
reaping much contributor cash,
either.
Even as they barnstorm New
Hampshire, they’ve each spent
only about $500,000 on commercials there, CMAG shows. That’s
less than retired neurosurgeon
Ben Carson, who has paid little
mind to New Hampshire.
Christie campaign strategist
Mike DuHaime said he expects
“a new influx” of cash if Christie
performs well in New Hampshire
and at least some of his competitors drop out.
But under several scenarios, all
four candidates could think
they’ve done well enough to continue on.
Come Sunday, fundraising reports answer the question which
of the four is best financially prepared to do so.
As of Sept. 30, the last time the
campaigns had to report, Christie
had collected $4.2 million for the
year, Kasich $4.4 million, Rubio
$15.5 million and Bush $24.8
million.
Previous filings also hinted at a
fundraising challenge facing
them: They’re struggling to connect with low-dollar donors who
can give again and again, replenishing campaign treasuries if the
candidates survive deep into the
primaries.

Remaining escaped inmates arrested in San Francisco
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Two inmates who remained at large after breaking out of a California jail more than a
week ago have been arrested, Orange
County sheriff’s officials said Saturday.
Jonathan Tieu, 20, and Hossein Nayeri,
37, were in the custody of the San Francisco Police Department, the Orange
County sheriff’s department said on its
Twitter feed. A news conference was
scheduled for noon.
Texas attorney
general
looking for
way to fund
defense
By PAUL J. WEBER
Authorities had been hunting for Tieu,
Nayeri and a third inmate, 43-year-old
Bac Duong, in Southern California since
they pulled off a brazen jail escape on
Jan. 22.
On Friday, Duong walked into an auto
repair shop and said he wanted to surrender. He told investigators he had last
seen the other two inmates Thursday afternoon in San Jose, shifting the manhunt 400 miles to the north.
The three men had all been jailed and
awaiting trial on charges in separate violent crimes. They were held in a dor-
mitory with about 65 other men in the
jail about 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
The men escaped in the early morning
hours after cutting a hole in a metal grate
then crawling through plumbing tunnels
and onto the roof of a four-story jail
building.
They pushed aside barbed wire and
rappelled down using a rope made of
bed linen.
It took jail staff 16 hours to realize the
three men were missing.
On Thursday, authorities arrested a
woman who taught English inside the
jail. Nooshafarin Ravaghi, 44, gave
Nayeri a paper copy of a Google Earth
map that showed an aerial view of the
entire jail compound, Hallock said.
She was booked on suspicion of being
an accessory to a felony and was being
held pending a court appearance set for
Monday.
It wasn’t clear if she had a lawyer.
Ravaghi and Nayeri also exchanged
“personal and close” handwritten letters,
but sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Jeff Hallock
could not say if the two were romanti-
cally involved.
Duong, a native of Vietnam, has been
held since last month on charges of attempted murder and assault with a
deadly weapon.
It was the first escape in nearly three
decades from the Central Men’s Jail,
built in 1968, that holds 900 men.
Tieu is charged with murder and attempted murder in a 2011 gang shooting. Nayeri had been held without bond
since September 2014 on charges of kidnapping, torture, aggravated mayhem
and burglary.
OFFICIAL SAMPLE BALLOT:
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY ELECTION
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas
Attorney General Ken Paxton,
who says he won’t resign despite
criminal charges of defrauding investors and a separate investigation into a profitable land deal,
may soon be allowed to let supporters pay his costly legal bills.
A state ethics board is expected
to decide Monday if the Republican can lean on donors to cover
what will likely be a lengthy and
expensive courtroom battle. Financial gifts to politicians are
generally prohibited but the board
is considering letting Paxton only
accept money from out-of-state
sources, who are less likely to
have cases or business with the
Texas attorney general.
But even under those restrictions, the idea is still unpalatable
to critics: the state’s top prosecutor taking outside dollars for the
high-stakes purpose of avoiding
possible prison time.
“No one is outside his jurisdiction. Christ, we just sued Volkswagen in Germany,” said Craig
McDonald, director of the leftleaning watchdog group Texans
for Public Justice, referring to the
state’s lawsuit against the automaker over an emissions scandal. “The arm of the attorney
general is very long.”
If the Texas Ethics Commission
rules the other way — and bars
Paxton from letting donors pick
up the check for his defense —
that could force him to find another means of financing a
lengthy legal battle while simultaneously running one of the nation’s most high-profile attorney
general offices. In March, Paxton
will go before the U.S. Supreme
Court to defend abortion restrictions in a case that is likely to reverberate nationally.
If the risk of Paxton being distracted or the appearance of
undue influence bothers Republican leaders, they’re not saying
publicly.
Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov.
Dan Patrick declined to comment
over whether they would be OK
with Paxton tapping donors to
pay for his high-powered defense
team. Neither has publically pressured Paxton since he was indicted in July, but they also
haven’t enthusiastically come to
his defense.
The proposal before the Texas
Ethics Commission would only
allow out-of-state donors to help
Paxton, but opponents say that
wouldn’t safeguard possible conflicts with his job.
Paxton attorney Bill Mateja,
who is handling the criminal case,
said he was not involved in the
ethics matter, and the attorney
general’s office did not return
messages seeking comment.
Paxton was indicted six months
after taking office last year and
has pleaded not guilty. He is accused of deceiving wealthy investors in 2011, when he was still
a state legislator, by encouraging
them to put money into a hightech startup called Servergy Inc.
without disclosing that the company was paying him for such referrals. He is charged with two
felony counts of securities fraud.
If convicted, Paxton could get a
lengthy prison term.
The governor cannot remove an
elected official from office. Abbott, who was attorney general
for 11 years before he was elected
governor, has tried making tighter
ethics rules a centerpiece of his
early administration.
These are the sample ballots for the Putnam County Republican and Democratic
primaries. You must choose either the Republican or Democratic ballot if you wish to
vote in the primaries. Early voting begins February 10, 2016 and ends February 23, 2016.
Election Day is March 1, 2016. Please have your voter registration card and a valid Photo
ID with you when you go to vote.
Polls will be open on Election Day from 9 am to 7 pm.

ago, and others used the platforms to

Court documents against the 11 occupiers under arrest show FBI agents have
scrutinized social media postings, interviews and online talk shows that have
been during the standoff that began Jan.

Bundy and several other jailed leaders
appeared Friday in federal court in Portland, where a judge denied their release.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman said Bundy, his brother Ryan
Bundy and Ryan Payne pose a danger to
the community, and she is concerned
they would not follow orders to return to
Oregon for criminal proceedings.
The only woman arrested so far in the
standoff, Shawna Cox, will be allowed
to go home while her case makes its way
through the court system. But Beckerman said that won’t happen until after
the armed occupation ends.
Ammon Bundy’s lawyer, Lissa Casey,
said her client is not aligned with those
remaining at the refuge near Burns and
wants to go back to his family in Idaho.
“He is done in Harney County; his
message has been sent,” she said.
Bundy and his followers took over the
refuge to demand that the federal government turn public lands over to local
control. They have complained about
what they say are onerous federal rules
governing grazing and mining rights
across the West.
Court documents detail some of the evidence against the occupiers, including
a memorandum filed by prosecutors Friday arguing against releasing defendants
before trial. The charges against the defendants say the refuge’s 16 employees

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —
Georgia Davis Powers, a giant in
the fight for civil rights in Kentucky and the first woman and
African-American elected to the
state Senate, has died. She was
92.
She died around 3:40 a.m. Saturday at her brother’s home in
Louisville, said Louisville’s
NAACP President Raoul Cunningham, a friend for five
decades.
“When you think of civil rights
in Kentucky, you have to start
with Georgia Davis Powers,”
said Kentucky State Sen. Gerald
Neal, a longtime friend and colleague who says Powers inspired
him into public service.
She fought for fair housing and
employment rights, became a
close confidant of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and served 21
years in the state Senate. She was
soft-spoken, gracious, quick with
a joke, Neal said. But in her battle for civil rights, she did not
blink.
“She walked into the Legislature, a man’s world, a white
man’s world, and she did not
waver,” Neal said. “She asked no
quarter and gave no quarter.”
Powers was born in 1923 in
Washington County, Kentucky,
the only girl among her parent’s
nine children. The family moved
to Louisville when she was a
young child. As a teenager, Powers quit a job at a five-and-dime
store rather than tell black customers they weren’t allowed to
eat their food at the counter.
“I didn’t like it. I knew it was
going on and I always wondered
what could be done about it,”
Powers said in an interview.
“And in my young mind I couldn’t think of anything to do about
it.”
That didn’t last for long.
During Kentucky’s civil rights
movement, Powers was a
founder of the Allied Organizations for Civil Rights. She also
helped organize a 1964 march in
Frankfort — an event that attracted King, baseball legend
Jackie Robinson and folk singers
Peter, Paul and Mary — to push
for an end to racial segregation in
public accommodations. Two
years later in 1966, the General
Assembly passed a civil rights
law, making Kentucky the first
southern state to do so.
“She was a fighter, and she
knew how to fight,” said Cunningham. “She was a champion
of equal rights for women, for
lesbians and gays, for the economically deprived. Her voice
will be missed.”
By 1967, Powers became the
first woman and the first AfricanAmerican ever elected to the
Kentucky Senate. She took office
in 1968, and for next 21 years
fought for African-Americans,
women, the poor, the disabled,
the disenfranchised.
Democratic leaders across the
state mourned her passing Saturday.
“She was a powerful voice for
those she served; she was a
leader who never stopped rallying others to join her in making
Kentucky a better place; and she
proved to be an enduring inspiration for others called to public
service,” Kentucky House
Speaker Greg Stumbo wrote.
“Those of us lucky enough to
know her will never forget her
smile, her wit and the fire she had
that warmed us all.”
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes described her as a
brave champion for civil rights.

Pam was known as a tremendously generous person, willing
to share with so many. She had
many wonderful friends from all
walks of life. Spending time with
her friends, listening to music,
and dancing brought her great
joy. She loved to garden, take
long walks with her dogs and her
friends, and spend countless
hours on her houseboat on Dale

about any occasion.
Pam quite fondly remembered
her mother taking her to Greensboro, N.C., to civil rights sit-ins
and marches, and she was active
in political, environmental, and

By AMY DAVIS
PUTNAM COUNTY — Discarded ashes from a woodstove
are believed to be the cause of a
fire that destroyed a home on
Newt Road Friday night.
“It was a total loss,” Putnam
County Fire Department Assistant Chief Tom Brown said of
the single-wide trailer located
near the White County line. “It
appeared that the fire started
outside around the deck.”
Brown said the fire began
shortly after 7 p.m. By the time
firefighters arrived on the scene,
the home was already consumed.
“The structural stability was
such that when we got there we
couldn’t get inside so we had to
fight it from outside,” he said.
The couple who lived there
had reportedly awoken when
they smelled the smoke. No injuries were reported.
Mutual aid from Northend
Fire Department in White
County responded with a tanker
and two firefighters, joining the
Putnam County Fire Department’s 10 firefighters to extinguish the flames.
Brown estimated the loss at
$50,000. He said discarded
ashes from a woodstove most
likely caused the fire, but he is
still investigating the incident.
As for the proper way to dispose of ashes, he said, “They really need to be discarded where
they can’t ignite anything, or in
a metal can, until they’re cooled
off.”
Obama to meet with Muslims
on first visit to U.S. mosque
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a
public show of support, President Barack Obama will meet
with Muslim community members Wednesday in Baltimore
on his first presidential visit to
an American mosque.
Obama plans to hold talks
with Muslim leaders at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, the
White House announced Saturday. The visit will amount to a
public embrace of Muslims by
Obama at a time when public
sentiment against them seems
to be growing, largely fueled by
fears of terrorist acts carried out
by extremist groups.
Obama has largely put distance between himself and U.S.
Muslims, opting against fueling
the rampant theories that he is a
closet Muslim who was born
in Kenya, the country of his
late father’s birth. Obama is
American by virtue of his
birth in Hawaii and has released his birth certificate as
proof. He also is Christian.
But segments of the U.S. pop-
ulation still believe neither to be
true.
As such, the visit will come
during the final year of
Obama’s two terms in office.
The White House said he will
go to the Baltimore mosque to
“celebrate the contributions
Muslim Americans make to our
nation and reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to
our way of life.”
In remarks to be delivered at
the mosque, Obama “will reiterate the importance of staying
true to our core values: welcoming our fellow Americans,
speaking out against bigotry, rejecting indifference and protecting our nation’s tradition of
religious freedom,” the White
House said.

A look at federal cases on handling classified information
By ERIC TUCKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — News that
Hillary Clinton’s home email server
contained top-secret messages brings renewed attention to the security of her
mail system and to the laws and regulations that control classified information.
The new disclosure, and the question
of whether it exposes her to more serious legal problems, was certain to escalate political heat on the Democratic
presidential candidate ahead of Monday’s Iowa caucuses, the first contest on
the 2016 nominating calendar.
FBI Director James Comey, whose
agency is looking into the setup of the
server, has said only that the investigation is being conducted without regard
for politics. Officials have given no public hint as to when or how the probe will
be finished.
Stephen Vladeck, an American University law professor and national security
law expert, said it would be a stretch,
based on what’s now known, to think
Clinton could be charged under any existing statute for her behavior.
“This is an area where the government
tends not to test the margins too often,”
Vladeck said.
It’s not uncommon for workers with
access to classified material to mishandle it, and by far the bulk of those cases
don’t attract the attention of federal
prosecutors.
But when the Justice Department does
pursue a case, it often relies on a statute
that bars the unlawful removal and retention of classified documents. That
low-level charge, meant for cases in
which defendants improperly hold onto
information that they know to be classi-

fied, carries a fine and maximum yearlong prison sentence and is reserved for
people who have “really, really screwed
up,” Vladeck said.
Much more serious is another statute
that makes it illegal to knowingly disclose classified information to someone
who’s not authorized to receive it.
Each case that’s resulted in prosecution
has unique facts, making comparisons
difficult. Investigators invariably take
into account questions of knowledge,

State Dept. declares 22
Clinton emails ‘top secret’
By BRADLEY KLAPPER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Obama administration has confirmed for the first time that
Hillary Clinton’s home server
contained closely guarded government secrets, censoring 22
emails that contained material requiring one of the highest levels
of classification. The revelation
came three days before the former secretary of state and current
Democratic presidential candidate competes in the Iowa caucuses.
State Department officials also
said the agency’s Diplomatic Security and Intelligence and Research bureaus are investigating
if any of the information was
classified at the time of transmission, going to the heart of Clinton’s defense of her email
practices.
The department on Friday
evening published its latest batch
of emails from her time as America’s top diplomat.
But The Associated Press
learned ahead of the release that
seven email chains would be
withheld in full for containing
“top secret” information. The 37
pages include messages a key intelligence official recently said
concerned “special access programs” —highly restricted, classified material that could point to
confidential sources or clandestine programs like drone strikes.
“The documents are being upgraded at the request of the intel-
ligence community because they
contain a category of top secret
information,” State Department
spokesman John Kirby told the
AP, calling the withholding of
documents in full “not unusual.”
That means they won’t be published online with others being
released, even with blacked-out
boxes.
Department officials wouldn’t
describe the substance of the
emails, or say if Clinton sent any
herself.
Clinton insists she never sent or
received information on her personal email account that was
classified at the time. No emails
released so far were marked classified, but reviewers previously
designated more than 1,000 messages at lower classification levels. Friday’s will be the first at
top secret level.
Even if Clinton didn’t write or
forward the messages, she still
would have been required to report any classification slippages
she recognized in emails she received.
But without classification markings, that may have been difficult, especially if the information
was publicly available.
“We firmly oppose the complete blocking of the release of
these emails,” Clinton campaign
spokesman Brain Fallon said.
“Since first providing her emails
to the State Department more
than one year ago, Hillary Clinton has urged that they be made
available to the public. We feel
no differently today.”
received or stored the information, and
whether the material was classified at
the time of transmission.
Some examples of past cases concerning classified information:
David Petraeus
The best-known recent prosecution involves the former CIA director who
pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor count of unlawful removal and
retention of classified materials. He was
spared prison as part of his plea and was
given two years’ probation by a judge
who faulted him for a “serious lapse in
judgment.”
The retired four-star Army general admitted that he loaned his biographer,
Paula Broadwell, with whom he was
having an affair, eight binders containing highly classified information regarding war strategy, intelligence capabilities
and identities of covert officers. Petraeus
kept the binders in an unlocked desk
drawer at his home, instead of a secure
facility that’s required for handling classified material.
There’s a critical distinction.
While Clinton has repeatedly said she
didn’t send or receive anything that was
classified at the time — something the
State Department now says it’s investigating — the Petraeus plea deal makes
clear that he knew the information he
provided was classified. He told Broadwell in a recording revealed by prosecutors that the binders had “code-word
stuff in there.”
When initially questioned by the FBI,
he denied having given Broadwell classified information, but in his plea deal
he avoided being charged with making
a false statement.
John Deutch
Deutch was CIA director from May
1995 until December 1996. He came
under Justice Department investigation
after his resignation when classified material was found on his home computer
in Maryland.
An internal CIA investigation found
that he stored and processed hundreds of
files of highly classified material on unprotected home computers that he and
family members also used to connect to
the Internet, making the information potentially vulnerable to hackers.
A report by the Defense Department in-
spector general found that Deutch had
failed to follow “the most basic security
precautions” and faulted him for rejecting Pentagon requests that security systems be installed on his home
computers.
Deutch apologized for his actions and
was pardoned by President Bill Clinton
before the Justice Department could file
a misdemeanor plea deal for mishandling government secrets.
Sandy Berger
Berger was the national security adviser during Bill Clinton’s second term.
After leaving office, he found himself
in trouble for destroying classified documents.
Berger, who died in December at age
70, pleaded guilty in 2005 to illegally
sneaking classified documents from the
National Archives by stuffing papers in
his suit. He later destroyed some of
them in his office and lied about it. The
materials related to terror threats in the
United States during the 2000 millennium celebration.
He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material, and
though he avoided prison time, he lost
access to classified material for three
years.
A judge fined him $50,000, higher
than the amount recommended by prosecutors.
He called his actions a lapse in judgment that came as he was preparing to
testify before the Sept. 11 commission
that examined the events leading up to
the 2001 attacks.
“I let considerations of personal convenience override clear rules of handling classified materials,” Berger said
at the time.

America and its politics in flux as 2016 voting begins
By JULIE PACE
AP White House Correspondent
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — First
there was the promise of political
change in Barack Obama’s historic 2008
election. Then the pledge to upend
Washington’s ways after the 2010 tea
party wave.
But for some Americans, the change
and disruption have come too slowly, or
failed altogether. On the eve of the first
voting contest in the 2016 presidential
election, these voters are pushing for
bolder, more uncompromising action,
with an intensity that has shaken both
the Republican and Democratic establishments.
Candidates with deep ties to party leadership have been unexpectedly challenged
by
a
billionaire
businessman-turned-reality television
star, a young senator loathed by GOP
leaders, and an unabashed democratic
socialist.
“A lot of people feel like the status quo
is a machine that’s grinding them
down,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, a
Democrat from Missouri. “They are
gravitating toward candidates that are
disruptive and promising massive
change.”
Indeed, the campaigns of Republicans
Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, as well as
Democrat Bernie Sanders, have been fueled for months by anger, frustration and
anxiety over an economic and national
security landscape that is undeniably in
flux.
Wages have barely budged and the
costs for housing, education and health
care are soaring. The country is more
racially and ethnically diverse than at
any point in its history, with census data
projecting white Americans will make
up less than half the population by midcentury. New terror threats feel both
confusing and very close to home.
Monday’s Iowa caucuses will offer the
first hard evidence of whether the out-

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas speaks at a campaign event at High Point Bulls

these voters are pushing for bolder, more uncompromising action, with an intensity that has shaken both
the Republican and Democratic establishment.
sider candidates can turn the energy
around their campaigns into votes.
Trump and Cruz have been battling for
supremacy in Iowa, while Sanders has
been cutting into Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s lead.
Sanders, an independent who caucuses
with Democrats on Capitol Hill, has
spent years railing against the influence
of wealthy and corporate interests on
American politics. Yet even he says he’s
surprised by what’s happening.
“My gut told me that this message
would resonate with the American people but to be honest with you it has resonated stronger and faster than I thought
it would,” Sanders told The Associated
Press.
For years, surveys have shown a large
majority of Americans say the country is
headed in the wrong direction. But that
sentiment now appears to be disproportionately driven by frustration with politics and the political system.
A recent AP-GfK poll showed that
among the 74 percent of Americans with
a negative view of the country’s direction, 51 percent of Republicans and 38
percent of Democrats listed at least one
political reason for their negative outlook — far more than listed an economic
or foreign policy-related reason.
No candidate has tapped into the public’s disillusionment with politics better
than Trump, whose controversial comments about Mexicans, Muslims and
women are seen by his supporters as a
welcome change from most candidates’
careful political correctness.
“It’s harder and harder to believe in an
establishment guy who’s so polished,”
said Wayne Magoon, a 72-year-old from
Exeter, New Hampshire.
Cruz has tapped into a similar anti-establishment sentiment. Despite being in
the Senate, Cruz aligned himself with
Republicans who believe party elites
made lofty promises to win the House in
2010 and the Senate in 2014, then ignored the will of the voters who drove
those victories.
“Republicans get to Washington and
become part of Washington,” said Brendan O’Brien, 51, of Portsmouth, New
Hampshire.
It’s not just Republicans grappling with
a disillusioned electorate.
Clinton entered the Democratic race
with all of the institutional advantages.
Most Democrats who were seen as potentially tough challengers decided
against a run, including Vice President
Joe Biden.
At the heart of the fight between Clinton and Sanders is how much the government should do to ease economic
burdens for the middle class.
Sanders wants to make tuition at public
colleges and universities free. Clinton
wants to lessen the burden of the student
loan repayment system and create incentives for institutions to lower costs.
With prescription drug costs soaring,
Clinton wants to cap out-of-pocket drug
costs at $250 a month. Sanders wants to
change to a single-payer health care system that he says would lower overall
health care costs, even including the tax
hike to help pay for the program.
McCaskill says Sanders is running on
“promises that in his gut he’s got to
know can’t be kept.” The Republican establishment makes the same argument
about Trump’s proposals.
But all that matters is whether voters
believe the candidates’ plans can fly —
or whether that factors into their vote at
all.
Soon, they’ll have their say.
Now deeply Christian, Cruz’s religion once wasn’t so obvious
By WILL WEISSERT
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Ted
Cruz sometimes sounds more like
a preacher than a presidential candidate, praising the transformative love of Jesus Christ and
promising to defend religious liberty. But the Texas senator rarely
evokes the biblical tenet of
tithing, the mandate that 10 percent of possessions be donated to
God.
That’s because Cruz doesn’t
tithe. He and his wife donated
less than 1 percent of their income to charity and nothing to
churches, including to their own
in Houston, according to tax returns from 2006 to 2010, the most
recent Cruz has released.
His campaign declined requests
from The Associated Press to provide recent tax returns or otherwise demonstrate donations since
2010. Cruz has said he and his
wife were more focused on using
their seven-figure annual income
to build a financial foundation for
their family.
Being a past charitable cheapskate provides a glimpse of who
Cruz was before running for president, when he was known more
as a fierce fiscal conservative
than a devout Southern Baptist.
Cruz’s religious side similarly
didn’t dominate his 2012 run for
Senate in Texas. Cruz suggested
shortly after taking office that
politicians should “avoid ostentatiously wrapping yourself in your
faith” — advice he has ignored
amid his rise in national polls.
“It’s not like this is a new issue,
it just wasn’t front and center,”
James Bernsen, the spokesman
for Cruz’s Senate campaign, said
of religion. “Ted’s main focus
was on Obamacare, taxing and
spending, the national debt.”
On the night he won the 2012
Texas primary, Cruz reminded a
packed Houston hotel ballroom
that victory came on what would
have been the 100th birthday of
free-market champion Milton
Friedman. Only after that did he
praise God.
The following year, Cruz told
the Christian Broadcasting Network: “I think anyone in politics,
you’ve got a special obligation to
avoid being a Pharisee, to avoid
ostentatiously wrapping yourself
in your faith.”
Now seeking the White House,
Cruz has done the opposite. He is
trying to solidify support from
evangelical Republicans against
Donald Trump and religious conservatives like Rick Santorum
and Mike Huckabee, whose supporters have questioned Cruz’s
lack of tithing.
Cruz launched his presidential
bid at evangelical Liberty University and has sought support from
pastors in all 99 Iowa counties. A
super political action committee
built a website trumpeting his
faith bona fides, including a video
detailing how a then-8-year-old
Cruz “surrendered his heart to
Jesus” during summer camp at a
Christian ranch. Cruz mentioned
faith repeatedly in Thursday’s
GOP debate.
Cruz’s past charitable donations
weren’t so generous, though he
isn’t alone in withholding more
recent tax records. Trump also
hasn’t disclosed his tax returns.
Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Hillary
Clinton and Bernie Sanders have
released partial returns from recent years.
Clinton reported giving away
13 percent of her family’s taxable
income in 2014, and Bush reported donating 4 percent of his
that year.
Sanders did not release the part

charitable donations, but his
campaign said he and his wife
gave away about 6 percent of
their taxable income. Fiorina reported donating what amounted
to 22 percent of her family’s taxable income in 2013.
Cruz’s Senate campaign released five years of tax returns
through 2010 showing that he
and his wife donated about
$44,500 of the more than $5 million they made over the period —
less than 1 percent of their income.
Those returns didn’t include
itemized donations, but Cruz
gave a list to the San Antonio Ex-
press-News in 2012. The newspaper reported that, while some
donations went to faith-based organizations, no money was reported to have been donated to
churches, including Houston’s
First Baptist, where the Cruzes
have worshipped since 2008.
Cruz responded that he’d
“worked and saved to build a
solid financial foundation to provide for my children.” He has
two daughters.
Recently asked about tithing by
the Christian Broadcasting Network, Cruz said “I will readily
admit that I have not been as
faithful in this aspect of my walk
as I should have been.”

Syrian opposition delegation arrives in Geneva
By BASSEM MROUE
Associated Press
GENEVA (AP) — The main Syrian opposition delegation arrived in Switzerland Saturday night, however it remained
unclear whether the delegation would actually participate in U.N.-sponsored
peace talks aimed at ending Syria’s civil
war.
The indirect peace talks began here Friday with a meeting between the United
Nations envoy and the Syrian government delegation. The main opposition
group, the Higher Negotiations Committee or HNC, boycotted that session saying it won’t take part until a set of
preliminary demands are met: releasing
detainees, ending the bombardment of
civilians by Russian and Syrian forces,
and lifting government blockades on
rebel-held areas.
The HNC later agreed to send a delegation to meet with U.N. officials, while
still insisting it would not negotiate until
their demands are met. The HNC decision to come to Geneva gave a glimmer
of hope that peace efforts in Syria might
actually get off the ground for the first
time since two earlier rounds of negotiations collapsed in 2014.
Meanwhile officials from Syria’s
The participation of the PYD has been
a divisive issue in advance of the Geneva
talks. Turkey, which has struggled with
its own large Kurdish population, considers the PYD a terrorist organization
and the HNC claims they are too close to
the Syrian government.
Unlike other groups from outside the
HNC that were invited as advisers, the
PYD received no invitation from U.N.
Special Envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura.
The move to exclude the PYD angered
Qadri Jamil, a former Syrian deputy
prime minister who has become a leading opposition figure but is not part of the
HNC. Jamil said the PYD’s military
wing has been the most effective force
on the ground in Syria fighting the Islamic State group.
“The PYD is a historic part of the Syrian democratic opposition and PYD
today is fighting terrorism on the ground
and it is a main force,” Jamil told a group
of journalists in Geneva on Saturday.
Jamil said they are working with the

Thousands march in Paris rain
to protest state of emergency
By CHRIS DEN HOND
Associated Press
PARIS (AP) — Thousands of
people marched in the Paris rain
on Saturday to denounce plans to
renew France’s state of emergency and revoke the French citizenship of dual nationals
convicted of terrorism.
Human rights groups, politicians
and unions joined the march in
the French capital, and in other
demonstrations around France.
The protests came just days before the Cabinet plans to review a
measure on Wednesday to prolong the state of emergency, first

the state of emergency, in Paris, Saturday.
The state of emergency gives
more power to police and administrative authorities, allowing for
searches without warrants, house
arrests and other measures.
“My France of liberties, where
are you?” read one banner.
The parliament is expected to
approve the prolongation of the
exceptional measures in voting
later this month. The current state
of emergency expires Feb. 26.
Jean-Baptiste Eyrault, of the
Right to Housing movement,
said: “Democracy is moving
backwards ... at the expense of
judges and the rule of law, freedom to demonstrate and (freedom) of expression.”
Last week, a French high court
upheld the measure, saying the
danger “has not disappeared.”
At least 37 migrants drown trying to reach Greece
By SUZAN FRASER
Associated Press
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A boat carrying Syrians attempting the short sea journey from Turkey to Greece struck rocks
and capsized at dawn on Saturday, causing
at least 37 people to drown, among them
several babies and young children.
Images of dead children on a beach on
Saturday were another soul-searing reminder that Europe’s migrant crisis keeps
destroying lives and families by the day.
They recalled the photo of 3-year-old
Aylan Kurdi lying face down on a Turkish
beach last year. His story put an intimate
face on the Syrian refugee crisis for people
across the world, prompting many to finally grapple with the magnitude of the
suffering being inflicted by the war in
Man caught with arms entering
Disneyland hotel to face trial
PARIS (AP) — A French prosecutor says a man who tried to
enter a Disneyland Paris hotel
last week with two handguns will
face criminal charges.
Prosecutor Dominique Laurens
in Meaux, east of Paris, had already dismissed terrorism links
but said Saturday the man risks
up to five years in prison and a
fine of 75,000 euros ($82,000) if
convicted. The charges include
acquiring and transporting arms
and ammunition.
The man, who has not been
identified, was detained Thursday with a female companion
when he tried to bring the
weapons into the hotel. The
woman was cleared of complicity.
The man was expected to go before a court Monday, a statement
by the prosecutor said.
France is under a state of emergency since November Paris attacks by Islamic extremist that
killed 130 people.
Syria and the treacherous journeys many
risk in hopes of finding shelter in Europe.
By contrast, the heartbreaking images
Saturday met a muted response, perhaps a
sign that many have grown weary of the
unending reports about the suffering of migrants even though the number of people
dying at sea is rising.
“January has been the deadliest month so
far for drownings between Turkey and
Greece,” Peter Bouckaert, the emergencies
director at Human Rights Watch, told The
Associated Press in an email. “Almost
every day, more drown on this dangerous
journey.”
Saturday’s tragedy occurred when the
boat capsized as dozens of people attempted the deceptively short crossing
from the Turkish coast to the Greek island
of Lesbos barely 5 miles away.
Opponents of another plan to revoke citizenship for dual nationals convicted of terrorism claim
the move would feed racism, creating a two-tier system of citizens. Many dual nationals are
Muslims, and some feel they are
blamed for attacks by Islamist extremists.
Green party lawmaker Noel
Mamere, taking part in the march,
said the state of emergency lays
the foundations for “a society
under surveillance.”
Christiane Taubira resigned suddenly last week as France’s justice minister over her opposition
to the plan, and as it became evident her views were on a collision
course with those of President
Francois Hollande.

Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County Continuing To Do Great Things
(Cookeville, TN) The Eden Alternative® announces the addition of Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County
to its international Registry, joining 250 national and international long-term care communities committed to
improving quality of life and care for the people they serve.
“With more than 15,000 nursing homes in the United States, Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County
demonstrates its aspiration to become a prominent care provider in the greater Upper Cumberland area,” said
Eden Chief Executive Officer, Chris Perna. “Achieving Registry status indicates Signature’ s understanding of
the unique needs, preferences and desires of those individuals entrusted to their care,” he added.
Working with employees at all levels of Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County, the Eden Alternative
provided professional development training in person-directed care, an evolving process that honors the
voices and choices of elders and those working most closely with them, thus transforming the delivery of care
to the entire community.
“Culture change is the common name for a global initiative focused on transforming long-term care as we
know it,” explained Signature’ s CEO Lee Rooney, “and our entire team was eager to shift its care practices
and values to put the individual first,” he noted.
Throughout this comprehensive Registry process, both ancillary and clinical staff at Signature focused on core
person-directed values that included choice, dignity, respect, self-determination and purposeful living. “We
embraced The Eden Alternative’ s multi-phased process that provides principles and training strategies to
create a vibrant, life-affirming environment where each person matters and everyone has opportunities for
growth, regardless of age or abilities,” added Rooney.
“We have diligently worked through the preparation to become an Eden Registry Member because our care
partner team is committed to enhancing its delivery of support services using the principles and practices of
The Eden Alternative.” said Rooney, clarifying Eden Alternative’ s belief that the most effective support
happens when there is a partnership between the caregiver and the care receiver. “We will continue to
progress through three additional Eden Alternative Path to Mastery Milestones that will deepen our integration
of person-directed care practices. It is something we all want for our loved ones, and eventually for ourselves,”
Rooney concluded.

As peace nears, renewed push to free Colombian rebel in U.S.
By JOSHUA GOODMAN
Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — As negotiations to end Colombia’s half-century conflict close in on a final deal,
attention is turning to the fate of an
aging bank manager-turned leftist rebel
who is being held at a U.S. maximum
security prison alongside notorious terrorists.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia consider Ricardo Palmera to
be a prisoner of war and have long insisted he be released for a peace accord
to be signed. But the administration of
U.S. President Barack Obama has long
rejected freeing Palmera, who is serving
a 60-year sentence in connection to the
FARC’s holding captive of three American defense contractors for more than
five years a decade ago.
With peace talks expected to wrap up
as early as March and President Juan
Manuel Santos heading to Washington
on Tuesday to cement U.S. support for
an accord with the FARC, there is a renewed push to win the 65-year-old’s release.
Last week, Colombian Sen. Ivan
Cepeda, a trusted conduit of both the
FARC and Santos, quietly met with
Palmera at the United States’ highest security prison to discuss how he can contribute to peace, according to officials in
Colombia and the U.S. familiar with the
meeting. Cepeda was accompanied by
Javier Galeano, File | AP
Ricardo Palmera, known as Simon Trinidad, a leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, FARC, shouts out as he is escorted by
soldiers, at a military base in Bogota, Colombia.
Colombian diplomats and the conversation monitored by U.S. law enforcement, said four officials, who insisted on
not being named because they weren’t
authorized to discuss the issue publicly.
The officials wouldn’t reveal specifics
about was said in the meeting, but the
visit was unusual. Dubbed the “Alcatraz
of the Rockies,” the 400-plus inmates at
the “Supermax” penitentiary in Florence, Colorado, including Boston
Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
and some al-Qaida operatives, are kept
in their cells as much as 23 hours a day
and are normally allowed to meet only
with their lawyers and family.
Palmera’s lawyer, Mark Burton, didn’t
reply to repeated email and phone requests seeking comment.
For FARC leaders, Palmera, better
known by his nom de guerre Simon
Trinidad, is a symbol of what they con-
sider to be heavy-handed U.S. meddling
in Colombia’s conflict. When peace
talks began in Cuba in 2012, Colombia’s
main rebel movement named him one of
its five chief negotiators, using an empty
seat and life-size cutout to draw attention to his imprisonment.
He was extradited to the U.S. in 2004
and convicted of conspiracy to kidnap
the three Americans and sentenced to the
maximum 60 years, though he beat more
serious charges of actual hostage-taking
and terrorism as well as drug-trafficking.
The Americans were rescued in 2008.
“He was convicted to teach the FARC
a lesson,” said Carlos Lozano, a Communist Party politician and past intermediary to the FARC. “If Obama really
wants to help build peace, after expending such an effort on war-making and
weapon selling, then he can facilitate an
agreement to allow this man to be at the
peace table. The moment has arrived.”
Born into a wealthy cattle-ranching
family and the son of a senator, Palmera
was an unusual recruit for the peasantbased FARC. After watching fellow leftists gunned down by right-wing militias
during a previous peace attempt in the
1980s, he left his job as a bank manager
near his home in Valledupar and fled to
a guerrilla hideout in the jungle.
His elite pedigree and familiarity with
real-world politics are valuable assets
for the FARC as it prepares to disarm
and compete at the ballot box, Lozano
said.
Although FARC negotiators insist
Palmera’s release is a priority, they have
not said flatly that they would jettison a
deal over the issue. U.S. officials, meanwhile, haven’t ruled out an early release
or transfer but insist Colombia has not
made any such request and say it’s not a
topic of negotiations.
Santos, in an interview with The Associated Press, was emphatic that he isn’t
seeking Palmera’s release, because it’s
not in his hands, but would view any
such move by the U.S. favorably.
“Of course I would like it because it
would help the process,” he said.
“It would be a tremendous gesture for
the FARC, for their dignity, as they really have made this issue an important
issue for them. And you sometimes you
have to make concessions of this sort to
make the agreements stronger,” he said.
“But again: this is something I can’t
commit myself to.”
Another Colombian official, who
spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter,
said the White House and State Department have expressed a willingness to
consider repatriating Palmera, but also
have cautioned that opinion inside the
U.S. government is divided.
Clearly, some Americans balk at any
move to free Palmera.
Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican presidential candidate, introduced a resolution last year opposing Palmera’s
release.

In November Turkey shot down
a Russian plane which violated
its airspace near Syria, touching
off a crisis between the two countries. It was the first time in more
than half a century that a NATO
nation had shot down a Russian
plane.
Turkey brought down the Russian Su-24 bomber near the border
with Syria on Nov. 24, saying it
violated its airspace for 17 seconds despite repeated warnings.
Russia insists the plane never entered Turkish airspace. One pilot
and a Russian marine of the res-
cue party were killed in the incident.
The Russian military quickly
sent missile systems to Syria and
warned that it would fend off any
threat to its aircraft. Moscow also
punished Turkey by imposing an
array of economic sanctions.
On Saturday, Stoltenberg said
NATO had agreed in December
to increase the presence of
AWACS early warning planes
over Turkey to increase the country’s air defenses. He said the decision was taken before Friday’s
incident.

How not to lose hope in the face of tough dog problems
That word — hope — has come up a
lot in my consultations lately. The dog
doesn’t want to get along with other
dogs. The dog has suddenly lost her
housetraining. The dog has started
guarding things he sees as valuable —
food, toys, his human. And yet, after a
session or two, there comes an email
stating — “There is hope!” Yes, but
what will it take to see this through to
success?
One of my first thoughts is absence of
instilling fear in or intimidating the dog.
At the risk of sounding like a broken
record, this is so important that I mention it first. If the dog is already reacting
from fear, making her more fearful will
not cure the problem. If you fear rats,
me chasing you with a rat is not going
to make you less fearful. In fact, you
may attack me as soon as I put that rat
down. If the problem is not fear, but the dog’s
need to maintain control over a coveted
item, teaching the dog that my approach
means it’s confrontation time is going to
backfire — big time. I can assure you
that dogs have a mouth full of steak
knives they will use if they feel they
must, if you fail to heed all the warning
signals. So by working with the dog,
making sure that she knows this will be
a win/win situation, makes it possible to
hope for cooperation in the future.
Hope becomes part of the picture when
the exercises given are doable by the
owners and any other parties involved.
Many times I feel owners are left feeling
they have no clue as to where to begin
after a session. They must have a clear
vision of the first steps to be taken and
exactly how to proceed to the next step
and also what to do if there is a failure
(and there will be a failure, trust me). For hope to exist, the trainer must be
accessible via internet and/or phone.
Clients should feel encouraged to report
in with updates on the latest attempts at
changing the behaviors. That means the
trainer has not only encouraged such
check-ins, but that the owner has faith
that s/he will not be chided for any mistakes or confusion which may take
place. One must feel comfortable that
the trainer is an ally, not an omniscient
leader who will blame the owner and/or
dog for any setbacks.
Is the exercise
broken
down
enough so that only
one small behavior
must be achieved at
a time, building toward the major
overall behavior
desired? One of the
major problems I
Jan
see with people
Casey
working with canine behavior issues is the fact that the task is not broken
down into small enough pieces. Dog reacts negatively to other dogs? Throwing
the reactive dog in with a lot of other
dogs will not assure success. What will most likely happen is either
a fight or the dog will be so flooded, he
will shut down and offer no behaviors.
Absence of behavior is not a cure! Seeing a rattler on the trail in front of you
and you failing to move does not mean
you are cured of your fear of snakes. It
just means you hope that by not moving
you will avoid provoking an attack. We
may have to start treatment by briefly
seeing a dog at a distance which does
not cause anxiety. We may move closer
by one foot at a time — or we may make
huge strides moving closer 5 feet a
time. The dog decides. But there will be
hope each time we move forward. Which brings us to timelines. Timelines are important, but it is not possible
to establish a date at which the desired
behavior will be achieved. There are no
guarantees! Needing to have your dog
“fixed” a week before company visits
with their dog sets the dog up for failure. You could have an Einstein, but
emotions and rational thought do not
work side by side. I know you are smart
(you read this column!), but you may
also have some irrational fear. Heights?
Snakes or spiders? Claustrophobia?
None of those is linked to intelligence,
but rather to emotions. I cannot just talk you out of the irrational fear and I certainly can’t set a
timeline as to when you may get over it
(if ever). You are, after all, an individual. And so it is with dogs. As smart (or
challenging) as your dog may be, how
long it takes to change the unwanted behavior will depend on the dog as well as
how dedicated and skilled you are at the
exercises which must be performed to
reach the goal. Is there hope for your dog? I am sure
there is, but it will depend on many factors as I have listed above. Be aware
there will be set backs. There will be
frustration. There will be times when
you question your abilities, the abilities
of your trainer, and quite possibly
whether you should even have a dog.
Know that no dog is perfect just as no
owner and no trainer is perfect. What
will give you hope is sticking with the
training plan and watching for the small
steps toward improvement. They will be
there, don’t overlook them, reward
them. And enjoy the journey.

her husband, Eric Leady, were
to open a Genoa storefront Jan.

Groomer by the National Dog
Groomers Association of America and the International Pet
Groomers Inc., as well as winning runner-up on Animal
Planet’s reality competition
show, “Groomer Has It.” She
also was named 2015 Mobile
Groomer of the Year by Cardinal Pet Care.
In 2012, she founded Lisa
Leady Products, a manufacturer
of canine ear cleaners and loops
and leads products.
“I don’t have anybody working
on anybody’s dog that trains on
the job. They must know what
they are doing,’ Leady said.
Now that Leady’s husband has
decided to return to the family’s
grooming business, the couple
can handle primping twice as
many animals than Lisa’s mobile business alone.
“We knew we wanted to stay
in our own town, which is
Genoa. When we walked into
this little salon of 500 square
feet we knew it was perfect. It’s
a darling little location,” she
said.
The Leadys will continue serving Genoa’s surrounding area,
including DeKalb, Sycamore,
Kingston, Kirkland, Hampshire
and Pingree Grove, with their
mobile business. Customers
should book their appointments
at least one week in advance.
Both groomers can see about 12
animals a day without getting
overwhelmed, and for Lisa
Leady the focus is on quality,
not quantity, she said.
“I love to see (owners’) faces
light up when their dog has a
new haircut and they’re happy
with it,” she said.
Dear Cookie,
I don’t think my dog likes

Man drives
1,700 miles to
retrieve his cat
NEW BERN, N.C. (AP) — A
cat named Hemi, who vanished in 2011 and reappeared
mysteriously last week, is back
with the man who had adopted
him as a kitten and drove 1,700
miles from North Dakota to retrieve his lost-and-found pet.
Several news outlets report
that Robert Connell drove
from Bismarck to the Craven
County, North Carolina, animal shelter to pick up Hemi on
Monday.
Connell says he decided to
make the drive after a winter
storm nixed plans for a family
friend to fly Hemi to Bismarck.
Connell served as a Marine,
and he says Hemi helped him
cope with post-traumatic stress

Instagrams of ’Dog Named Jimmy’ turned owner’s life around
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Rafael Mantesso turned 30 in
an empty New York apartment
after divorce left every wall,
floor, closet and shelf bare.
The only things he had left
were his cellphone and a pit
bull named Jimmy Choo that
his neighbors went out of their
way to avoid.
When he turned 33 on Jan.

apartment and it’s still vacant.
But it’s for sale now. And people can’t get enough of his 6year-old bull terrier — from

(Mantesso’s ex-wife had
named the dog for her favorite

There are future plans too: a
calendar, endorsements and
launching the charitable
Jimmy Foundation. Meanwhile, Mantesso is working at
an advertising agency in Sao
Paulo in his native Brazil, and
doing the occasional photo
shoot.
The first night they were
alone in the “naked” apartment
three years ago, Jimmy did a
happy dance through all the
rooms. Mantesso picked up his
phone and started shooting
photos of Jimmy’s contagious
dance of joy.
“When I sat in my empty liv-
ing room, Jimmy was happy,
running from one side to the
other side, in circles, crazy.
The apartment was a playground to him. He was loving
that empty place. That energy
was amazing. I looked at him
and said to myself, ’Oh my
God, I was thinking everything
was lost and I had the most important thing in the house —
Jimmy,’” Mantesso said in his
Portuguese accented-English.
Jimmy is a white dog but his
ginger and red ears contrasted
with the white walls, floors and

Mantesso picked up a piece of
white cardboard, drew a skeleton with a red heart on it, put it
in front of Jimmy and took a
photo.

SCHOOLS
Let it snow!
By AMY DAVIS
S
now day! It’s what every student
longs to hear on a cold winter morning.
And — thanks to a strong winter storm
system that blew through the area last
week — that’s just what students in Putnam County got to hear before going on to
enjoy not one, but five glorious days in the
frozen white wonder that reached the double digits inch-wise in many areas.
Many students may have spent their days
away from all things school-related; others, however, went on to class as part of
the School Age Care program.
SAC, a parent-tuition funded group childcare program licensed by the Tennessee
Department of Education, continued to
serve its participating students while Putnam County schools were closed due to
the snow and ice Jan. 20-26. SAC students
from all over the county gathered at Northeast Elementary to enjoy art projects,
games and play time during what is referred to as snow day care.
“Before- and after-school care might be
what Putnam County SAC is best known
for, but snow day care seems to be what
parents are most thankful for,” SAC’s
website says. “We understand that parents
still have to work even though there might
be snow on the ground.”
When schools do close for snow, SAC
opens combined care at a designated
school.
“We provide a day full of activities for
your children so you don’t have to worry
about finding impromptu care for your
child in the event of bad weather,” the
website says. “Some of our daily activities
include the iPad lab, organized gym
games, the Wii lab, board games and the
computer lab. If it isn’t too cold outside,
we also like to take the children outside for
a few minutes to play in the snow.”
Which, of course, they were able to do this
past week.
The Putnam County Board of Education
is the governing body for SAC, authorizing the use of public school buildings for
before- and after-school childcare and fullday programs during holidays, intersession
and summer vacation.
SAC is an equal-access program for children ages 4-13 enrolled in Putnam County
schools. It includes numerous creative and
cultural activities such as crafts, sports,
games, snacks, art, music and multimedia,
as well as homework time and assistance if
needed.
For more information about registration,
visit www.putnamsac.org or call 528-1847.

State board launches social studies standards public review website
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee State Board of
Education just launched a review website —
https://apps.tn.gov/tcas — to collect public feedback on Tennessee’s grade K-12 social studies
standards.
This is the first of two public review periods for
the social studies standards.
The social studies standards set grade-specific
instructional standards that exemplify what students are expected to know and be able to do by
the end of a given grade or course. The current
social studies standards were approved in 2013
and first implemented in the 2014-15 school year.
This highly transparent and comprehensive review process is an opportunity for every Tennessean to log in online, review each specific
social studies standard by grade level, and provide comments and make suggestions for
changes.
“It is exciting that we are beginning the social
studies standards review process two years early,”
Dr. Sara Heyburn, executive director of the Tennessee State Board of Education, said.
“This robust and transparent review has proven
very successful with math and English language
arts.”
The public review website will remain active
until April 30.
Once data has been collected from the website,
it will be aggregated and given word-for-word to
expert educator advisory teams to review and revise the standards starting this summer.
The revised standards will be posted for a second public review period in the fall and winter of
this year.
Following a similar review process as the math
and English language arts standards, the revised
standards will be reviewed in the fall by a standards recommendation committee appointed by
the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of
the house.
In October 2014, Gov. Haslam introduced a
comparable review process online in partnership
with the state board for the state’s English language arts and math standards. This process was
codified by the General Assembly in HB 1035.

SCHOOLS
Student outdoor clubs enjoy backpacking adventure
OVERTON COUNTY — Forty students from the
Jackson County and Livingston Academy Outdoor
Clubs met at Standing Stone State Park to participate
in the first Standing Stone Backpacking Adventure on
Dec. 17
Upon arrival, students were tasked with establishing
camp and preparing for the next two days. Students
then hiked to the Tea Room where they received
classes on the skills they would need to master the
competition over the next two days.
As students emerged from their tents on a cold Friday morning, they discovered the snow flurries falling
upon the park. Students were treated to a pancake
breakfast as they prepared their packs for the day.
After a quick pack check and an endurance challenge,
the individual teams began their adventures on the
trail.
As students hiked the five-mile loop around Kelly
Lake, the first station they encountered was fly fishing. Here, teams were taught to cast a fly rod and were
judged on accuracy. The next station was fire building.
Each team had to build a fire using flint and steel and
a separate fire using only a single match.
As students continued around the trail, they were
challenged with wildlife identification, knot tying, tree
identification, shelter building, first aid and a team
building activity.
When all students had completed the hike, they returned to the campground where they prepared dinner
for their individual teams. After dinner, the students
returned to the Rec Hall where they had to prepare
team skits. Campers were treated to hot dutch oven
cobblers at the conclusion of the skits. The teams then
returned to the campground for another brisk night of
camping.
On Saturday morning, the teams reassembled at the
Rec Hall for an awards ceremony. Each team could
earn a maximum of 10 point at each station. Teams
were awarded certificates for overall top three places
as well as best performance at each challenge.
Helping to make the event possible were Standing
Stone State Park, Friends of Dale Hollow National
Fish Hatchery, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency,
Tennessee Department of Forestry, and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Also
contributing were Livingston Pizza Hut, Superior
Heating and Cooling and The Outdoor Experience.
Winners were as follows:
• First place overall — Hardcore 4, Livingston Academy: Mary Rachel Gean, Jamie Wilson, Dalton Clark,
Josh Beau and alternate Abby Sells.
• Second place overall — JC Football, Jackson
County: Orry Smallwood, Jessica Smith, Matthew
Roberts and Jesse Garrison.
• Third place overall — The Super Team, Jackson
County: Rebecca Collins, Carlie Dodson, Connor
Brown and Kaleb Johnson.
Students test their fire-building skills during the first Standing Stone Backpacking Adventure in December at Standing Stone State
Park. Below, a group shows excitement at being outdoors.

School Board Appreciation Week celebrated in state
NASHVILLE — Gov. Haslam declared Jan. 24-30 as
School Board Appreciation Week in Tennessee. This
week helped build awareness and understanding of the
vital functions locally elected boards of education play
in their community.
Public school districts from across the state joined together to celebrate School Board Appreciation Week and
honor local board members for their commitment to the
community and its children.
The key work of school boards, according to the Tennessee School Boards Association, is to raise student
achievement by the following:
• Creating a vision for what the community wants the
school district to be and for making student achievement
the top priority;
• Establishing standards for what students will be ex-
pected to learn and be able to do;
• Ensuring progress is measured to be sure the district’s
goals are achieved and students are learning at expected
levels;
• Being accountable for their decisions and actions by
continually tracking and reporting results;
• Creating a safe, orderly climate where students can
learn and teachers can teach;
• Forming partnerships with others in the community to
solve common problems; and
• Focusing attention on the need for continuous improvement by questioning, refining and revising issues
related to student achievement.
“A community’s school system is the backbone of our
community, and these men and women devote countless
hours to making sure their schools are helping every
child,” TSBA officials said.
“These committed individuals spend countless hours
studying the issues and regulations and make the tough
decisions when called upon to ensure the type of accountability people expect.”
The Tennessee School Boards Association is a state
wide, nonprofit organization of school boards throughout
Tennessee. Its mission is to assist school boards in effectively governing school districts.
Through the years, TSBA has helped school boards and
their members reach their highest potential through Association programs, meetings and services.
TSBA also provides school board members with a collective voice in matters of legislation and public education concerns. For more information about TSBA, visit
www.tsba.net.

National
School
Choice Week
assembly
SPENCER — The Upper
Cumberland Human Resource Agency Van Buren
Head Start hosted a school
assembly to commemorate
National School Choice
Week, the nation’s largestever celebration of opportunity in education.
The assembly, which was
open to students, teachers,
parents, prospective families, and community members, featured a scarf
ceremony, pictures, displays
and an open house on Jan.
25.
During the week, Tennessee had 246 events to
raise awareness about to
raise awareness about K-12
school choice, and 16,140
events were planned nationwide.
The events in Tennessee,
which were independently
planned and funded, included everything from information sessions and open
houses at schools to rallies,
policy discussions, and
movie screenings organized
by community groups.
Gov. Bill Haslam, the mayors of Chattanooga, Memphis and Nashville, and
county leaders from Sumner
County issued official
proclamations recognizing
Jan. 24-30 as “School
Choice Week.”
“Tennessee families enjoy
more K-12 education
choices for their children
than they have in the past,”
said Andrew R. Campanella,
president of National School
Choice Week. “National
School Choice Week shines
a positive spotlight on these
options so that more parents
can learn about the opportunities available for their
kids.”
With a goal of raising public awareness of effective
education options for children, National School
Choice Week was planned to
be the largest celebration of
education options in US history.
According to National
School Choice Week’s organizers, families in Tennessee could use the week to
look for K-12 schools for the
2016-2017 school year. Parents in the Volunteer State
can choose from the following education options for
their children: traditional
public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools,
online academies, private
schools, and homeschooling.
In some parts of the state,
open enrollment policies
allow parents to select the
best traditional public
school, regardless of where
the school is located. The
state also has a program allowing qualifying children,
in some cases, to receive
scholarships to attend private schools.
National School Choice
Week is an independent public awareness effort spotlighting effective education
options for children, including traditional public
schools, public charter
schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning, and homeschooling.

Opportunity Scholarships Bill clears last major hurdle before House vote
NASHVILLE — On the heels of the
recent successful vote in the House Finance Subcommittee, the Tennessee
Choice and Opportunity Scholarship Act
secured passage in yet another key
House committee. The groundbreaking school choice legislation, which would empower thousands of Tennessee families zoned to
underperforming schools with the ability
to access high-performing private school
options for their children, advanced
through the full House Finance Committee by a steady 11-10 vote. The committee vote was widely considered to be the last major legislative
hurdle on the bill’s path to a full vote on
the House floor. In addition to receiving
overwhelming approval on the Senate
floor last year, the vote represents the
sixth legislative committee to advance
the bill thus far in the 109th General Assembly.
“Today’s affirmative vote marks yet
another important milestone in the ongoing effort to ensure that every family
can access a quality education for their
children, no matter where they live,”
StudentsFirst Tennessee Spokesman Ted
Boyatt, praising the committee’s action,
said.
“Thanks to the thousands of parents,
students, faith leaders and advocates
who have publicly spoken out in support
of this measure, our state is one step
closer to building a bridge that will bring
our most educationally at-risk students
to the doorstep of a great school with a
proven track record of academic success. “While the fight to empower parents
with more high-quality educational options for their children is far from over,
we remain committed to ensuring that
legislation so crucial to Tennessee’s continued academic progress finds its way
to Gov. Haslam’s desk.”
The bill now advances to the House
Calendar and Rules Committee to be
scheduled for a floor vote.

4-H’ers: Capture those snow day photos
By JIMMY CHAMBERS
Putnam County 4-H Agent
PUTNAM COUNTY — Our surroundings are full of interesting and
unusual things that many miss in this
hectic life. The 4-H photography project gives youth the opportunity to become more aware of the unique world
around us.
This year, the Putnam County 4-H
program is offering a Snow Day
Photo Contest every day the Putnam
County School System is dismissed
due to weather. This contest is open to
any youth in grades 4-12.
All photos or questions about the
contest should be emailed to
[email protected]. Photos will be
posted on the Putnam County 4H Facebook page.
Rules are as follows:
1. One photograph per person, and the
photo must be taken by the entrant.
2. Any type of camera is acceptable
as long as the photo can be emailed to
[email protected].
3. The photo must be taken on the day
of the contest.
4. Three divisions:
a) Junior (grades 4-5)
b) Junior high (grades 6-8)
c) Senior high (grades 9-12)
5. The deadline to submit photos is
6:30 p.m. on the day of the contest.
Late entries will not be accepted
6. Color and black and white photos
are acceptable.
7. Be creative and have fun.
Photographs will be professionally
judged and a winner announced the
following day at noon.
Winners from the first photo contest
were Hannah Bernhardt, a freshman
homeschool student; Blake Shepherd,
an eighth grader at Avery Trace Middle
School; and Jared Shepherd, a fourth
grader at Northeast Elementary.
Youth gain many benefits in the exciting 4-H photography project. They
can record information for other 4-H
projects and maintain visual records of
their family and friends and important
events in their lives. Their photography
experiences could lay the foundation
for a good start in a professional career.
The photography project is a self-exploration endeavor because youth
take the initiative to plan, carry out
and evaluate the learning process.
Members develop basic skills in a
logical sequence. Topics include the
elements of photography, parts and
operation of a camera, types of cameras and film, and planning, composing and taking various types of
photographs. Participants experiment
with composition, lighting, distance
and movement among other photography theories.
These hands-on camera experiences
give youth many opportunities to explore and discover. The active approach to learning introduces, teaches
and reinforces photography skills.
Youth also develop and master many
life skills including acquiring, analyzing and using information, solving
problems, making decisions, managing resources, communicating with
and relating to others, and working
with groups. Members also develop
artistic expression and learn to recognize and accept differences. Equally
important, 4-H’ers develop self-esJared Shepherd, a fourth grader at Northeast Elementary, photographed his dog enjoying the snow.
teem through pride in their photographic accomplishments.
Collectively, all these skills enable
4-H members to develop workforce
preparation expertise that is a lifetime
benefit. 4-H members are encouraged
to take the initiative to share these
new skills and knowledge with other
youth and adults.
Members can also exhibit their photography each year at the Putnam
County Fair in the open youth section.
For more information on the photography project and other educational
opportunities available through the
local 4-H youth development program — including agriculture and
natural resources, 4-H youth development, family and consumer sciences,
and resource development — contact

New interactive map provides
legislators with school information
TENNESSEE — The Comptroller’s Offices of
Research and Education Accountability have created two new interactive maps featuring a wide
range of education data at the school and school
district levels.
The maps illustrate the House of Representatives
and Senate legislative districts overlaid with school
district and school level information. The legislative profile maps are both clickable and searchable.
A user can search by legislator, school district, and
school name.
The maps include demographic information, accountability and performance, and financial data.
Some specific data points include the number and
type of schools (e.g., traditional, charter, etc.),
school designation, average ACT score, per-pupil
expenditure by average daily membership, and average classroom teacher salary.
“These maps offer a simple and unique way for
General Assembly members to learn more about
the schools in their districts,” Comptroller Justin P.
Wilson said. “This interactive map is also useful to
any Tennessean who wishes to learn more about

y the time you read this
column, the knee-deep
snow that blanketed middle
Tennessee last weekend will almost certainly be gone. But as I
settle down to write in front of the
big windows in my living room,
the white stuff is coming down at
a rate we haven’t seen here in a
long, long time.
Today’s calendar has been wiped
clean, which will almost certainly
hold true for the next several days.
Folks from colder climes will
probably never understand Southerners’ inability to cope with winter, but it’s a fact that we have

eraser to our
schedule. School? Cancelled.
Church? Cancelled. Meetings and
appointments? Cancelled. Social
outings? Cancelled.
Being something of a Type-A
personality, my first inclination as
the snow starts falling in earnest is
to start on some at-home projects.
Clean out a closet. Straighten a
drawer. Balance the checkbook.
Catch up on the ironing. Re-organize the file cabinet.
As my head begins to reel with
this not-so-fun to-do list, I pull
myself up short. I’ve been handed
a wonderful gift: a string of empty
days with nowhere I have to go
and nothing I have to do. Realizing I need a solid downtime plan, I
quickly formulate one. Here it is.
• Fill the birdfeeders to the brim
• Take the dogs for an off-leash
romp in the snowy woods
• Build a snowman
• Watch whatever I want on TV
for as long as I want
• Read one of the big thick books
I’ve set aside for when I finally
have time
• Call and chat with an out-oftown friend I haven’t seen for ages
Now, four days later with the
thaw upon us and a column deadline staring me in the face, it’s
time to assess how things went.
My report? During the snow days,
I didn’t mess with closets or drawers or the ironing board or checkbook. But I did spend a lot of time
watching birds, which are still
swarming my feeders even though
temperatures have climbed above
freezing. My once-adorable snowman, whose face my dogs chewed
off because I used Hershey’s
kisses for eyes (I didn’t have any
chunks of coal), is melting faster
than the Wicked Witch of the
West.
On the Friday the snow arrived, I
lounged in my pajamas with gas
logs blazing and watched four
episodes of HGTV’s “Fixer

games on Saturday. Both NFL
play-off games on Sunday. All
without guilt. And I’m almost 200

I enjoyed unhurried phone visits

Best of all, I allowed myself time

the winter wonderland. To contemplate the year just passed, with
its unspeakable disappointments
and innumerable joys, and to anticipate the year ahead. To affirm
that there’s nothing much lovelier

Sarah Cook enjoys creating works of art from engagement portraits.
Steven and Sarah Cook
Cookeville couple has passion for art
By MeGaN TrOTTer
COOKEVILLE — For Sarah and
Stephen Cook, the love of color, of
light and of dark, of capturing life on
paper or the computer screen — it’s a
passion they both share.
This husband and wife have a heart
for art and love showing it in their
own, unique ways. For both of them,
the passion started when they were
just children.
“After I was baptized something
clicked and I believe God helped me
take my art to the next level,” Sarah
said. “I then joined the Cumberland
Art Society when I was around age 12
and I was blessed to have many mentors who helped me and parents who
encouraged me. I had one instructor
who introduced me to pastels and I
began to draw pastel portraits.”
Now, Sarah spends her free time
painting portraits, as well as animals,
landscapes and still life. She also enjoys graphic design and creating
things like logos, business cards and
ads.
She uses mainly acrylics now, after
finding out she is allergic to pastel
dust. Stephen uses pastels and oils, as
well as computer art on Photoshop.
“I’m a big fan of astronomy so I

love to create things from outer space
that you don’t usually see, such as
galaxies, stars, and comets,” Stephen
said. “I also like to do landscapes.”
Both Sarah and Stephen are enthusiastic about having a spouse who
shares their artistic passion. They
never have to go far to get an opinion
or a critique on a piece of work.
“The only drawback is that sometimes we have to share art supplies!”
Sarah said.
Sarah, who graduated from MTSU
in graphic arts, recently quit her full
time job to pursue her passion in art
and to take care of their children. She
now does freelance work in portraits,
illustrations and graphic design.
“(Stephen’s) art is more of a hobby,
but he is going to TTU for a marketing degree and I know his artistic talent will be useful in that field,” Sarah
said.
Both Sarah and Stephen were the

Derryberry work displayed in her gallery

Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN
TTU — For Joan Derryberry, the use
of bright and vivid colors to create
beautiful landscape paintings was all in
a day’s work. Currently, about 20 of her
paintings hang above spotlights at the
gallery room in the Roaden University
Center on Tennessee Tech’s campus.
During the gallery talk this past
Thursday, Centennial Coordinator
Laura Clemons stated that this art
gallery is part of Tech’s Centennial
Celebration, along with other art galleries displaying the works of Tech’s
alumni.
“I think a lot of people don’t know
how much of an impact she had here on
campus and in the community,” says
Clemons.
According to Tech’s website, Derryberry had a large role as one of the
founders of the Tennessee Art Commission, and was the founder of the
Town and Gown organization in
Cookeville. She also had an influence
on Tech’s music and art programs,
specifically the Tech Chorale.
Math professor Brian O’Connor
stated at the gallery talk that when Joan
Derryberry passed away, he was in a
Tech Chorale rehearsal. He said to the
Chorale members at that time, “You
may not have known much about her
(Derryberry), but I feel fairly confident

Sierra Club hosts
Sparta chamber
president Monday
COOKEVILLE — The Sierra
Club will host Marvin Bullock,
president of the Sparta Chamber
of Commerce, at their meeting
from 5:30-7 p.m. Monday, Feb.
1.
A meet-and-greet will be held at
5:30 p.m. at the Get Fresh! Cafe,
at 37 N. Cedar Ave., in
Cookeville. The program will
begin at 6 p.m. at the UUCC
meeting room, directly across 1st
Street.
While teaching Information
Systems classes at Vanderbilt
University and MET 545 at State
Tech, Bullock was a member of
the Friends of Scott’s Gulf, a
group that was instrumental in
obtaining The Bridgestone Centennial Wilderness Area (BCWA)
two decades ago.
Later, Bullock founded what
grew to become one of the largest
real estate firms on the North
Carolina coast.
Four years ago, he returned
home to his farm in Sparta,
where he now serves as president
of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The
BCWA
contains some of
the most bio-diverse hardwoods
left on the planet
including
the

head-waters of
the Caney Fork River. The Sierra
Club also played a key role in
convincing the state to obtain this
land.
Other properties have been
added to the Bridgestone area in
the ensuing years and now it is
possible to walk from Lost Creek
or Virgin Falls to Fall Creek Falls
while staying on state land. There
is an opportunity to build a trail
over 60 miles long. There will be
more caves, waterfalls and scenic
overlooks per mile of trail than
probably anywhere else in the
United States.
Come to learn about existing
trails, how they tie-in to the future Mid-Cumberland Trail, and
how the Sierra Club can help.

Dad’s ragged appearance may follow him to the grave
D
EAR ABBY: My father is 80. In
his prime he was a businessman
with lots of contacts. Most of his
friends and siblings are gone now. He
doesn’t take good care of himself. His
hair is unkempt, he goes weeks without
shaving, his pants sag, and worst of all,
his fingernails are full of dirt. He doesn’t
get out much, so I’m not sure it’s important to him.
My main concern is how to handle this
with the funeral home when he dies. Is
this something they would clean? I can’t
imagine putting anyone through that. It
would also not reflect who he really is.
I have never been comfortable confronting Dad about his appearance as he is
sure to have his feelings hurt. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. — CAN’T
CONFRONT DAD IN INDIANA
DEAR CAN’T CONFRONT: Is your
father in good physical health? If he is,
could he be depressed or becoming demented? Those could be reasons why he
has let his appearance go. From your description, your dad appears to have become very isolated.
Perhaps if you encouraged him to join a
senior group, he’d be more inclined to fix
himself up and visit a barber. But I digress.
If your sole concern is how your father
will look in his casket, your concerns will
be alleviated when you talk about it with
the director of the
funeral home you
plan to use. Making
sure a body is clean
and presentable is
standard procedure.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve met a man with
whom I get along well. He is a physical
therapist. We talk and joke during my
therapy sessions. He makes them seem
more like fun than work.
I think we could be friends if given the
chance. When I have finished my therapy
at the practice, would it be OK to ask if
we could keep in touch? If so, how does
one approach this? He’s married, but I’m
not looking for a romantic relationship. I
would just enjoy being able to talk with
him occasionally. — ON THE MEND IN

DEAR ON THE MEND: When your
therapy is completed, tell him you enjoyed the sessions and how enjoyable
conversing with him was. Then ask if you
can talk occasionally because he has
many of the qualities you would like in a

All ears: Debut novel comes out first in audio edition
By HILLEL ITALIE
AP National Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Before book
buyers get to read Julia Claiborne Johnson’s debut novel, “Be Frank With Me,”
they’ll have a chance to hear it.
On Friday, the audio edition of Johnson’s comic saga of a famous writer’s 9year-old son became available through
the audio seller and producer Audible
Inc. four days before the hardcover and
e-books go on sale. The early release,
read by the popular audio narrator Tavia
Gilbert, was a joint project of the Amazon.com-owned Audible and HarperCollins Publishers.
“Sometimes you don’t know how well
an audiobook is going to turn out until
you listen to the final version,” says
Sean McManus, associate publisher of
HarperAudio. “When we heard Tavia’s
performance, we knew we had a great
audiobook on our hands and an opportunity to do something different with a
debut author.”
Audio book revenues have been growing by double-digits over the past few
years, with reasons cited including digital downloads that allow you to hear a
book on your phone and the appeal of
“Serial” and other podcasts that feed an
appreciation for the spoken word.
Anthony Goff, Hachette Book Group’s
audio publisher, said that a decade ago
audiobooks often came out after the
print edition. Now, simultaneous re-
leases are the standard and advance releases for audio a growing possibility.
Last summer, Stephen King’s short story
“Drunken Fireworks” came out months
before it appeared in print in the collection “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams.” Jack
Campbell’s fantasy series “The Pillars of
Reality” was first released in audio late
in 2014, and in paper last May.
“Publishers pick their spots, and an
early e-book release can be an effective
thing to do,” said Chris Lynch, president
and publisher of Simon & Schuster
Audio, which released King’s audiobook.
“Doing it with a first-time author is an
interesting experiment, because any time
we’ve tried anything like that there’s
been a well-known author involved.”
Audio sales don’t yet approach those
for paper or even for e-books, which
comprise around 25 percent of the overall market, but for some releases they
have become substantial. In a blog post
from last summer, children’s author
John Scalzi noted that some 40,000
copies of his novel “Lock In” had sold
in audio, just under the combined numbers for the hardcover and e-book.
Scalzi added that audio’s growth was
even affecting his writing style.
“Audio has its own audience, with its
own sets of desires and expectations,
and that’s something you’ll want to factor in as you create your work,” Scalzi
wrote.
“At this point, I absolutely give consideration to how my work sounds as well
as reads. I’m starting to use substantially
fewer dialogue tags (‘he said,’ ‘she
said’), as an example.”
In a recent email interview, Johnson
said she knew people who found it easier to listen a story than read it. They
would ask her, sheepishly, about an
audio edition for her novel as “if they
were second-class citizens.”
“When I heard the audio version was
coming out before the hardcover I
thought, ‘Nice. All you listeners, please
step to the front of the line,’” she told
The Associated Press.
“Look, I prefer reading my books; but
I grew up in the South where there’s a
real oral tradition, so I’m a big fan of listening. At family reunions — I go to one
in Tennessee that’s been going on for
around 175 years now — people sit
around telling stories late into the night.”
Johnson said she had imagined her
book being read out loud, just not by her.
She noted a passage in “Be Frank With
Me” in which the title character is asked
if he’s been talking to his missing
mother and he answers, “Outside my
head? No.”
“That’s how it was for me when my
novel was still just ideas bouncing
around inside my skull,” Johnson wrote
in her email. “It was being read out loud,
but just to me and nobody else. When
my publishers asked if I wanted to read
the audio book edition, I said no before
they could finish the sentence.”
“Tavia Gilbert nailed it,” Johnson
added. “I may crib from her delivery
when I have to read my book aloud myself.”

memory of his mother’s work.
Winkle continued the talk by
thanking Derryberry for lending
most of the paintings at the
gallery. Derryberry later said that
he was happy to lend them out,
and to speak at the gallery that
evening.
Derryberry talked about his
mother’s education in the arts,
stating that while she was 15, she
played the piano and began to de-
velop her skills in painting. He
continued by saying she focused
on music while she was younger,
but began to really focus on
painting as she grew older.
“She could easily remember a
scene and paint it, just by the
memory,” says Walter Derryberry. He continued to say that by
the end of her lifetime, she created 1,500 paintings.
The exhibition is free to the
public and will be available until
Feb. 25.
Tickets are $50 in advance and
will be $60 at the door. Table
reservations are also available.

[email protected]. ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Had a
hard time getting a ticket to a
concert or sporting event? New
York's attorney general says
that's probably because more
than half of tickets to many
events are held for industry insiders or otherwise unavailable
to the general public.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a report released
Thursday that his investigation
of the industry was prompted by
consumer complaints, which his
office receives regularly.
“Ticketing, to put it bluntly, is
a fixed game,” the report said.
Investigators found abuses and
practices that prevent consumers
from buying tickets at affordable
prices or sometimes even getting
them at all.
Investigators found that thirdparty brokers resell tickets on
sites like StubHub and TicketsNow at average margins of 49
percent above face-value and
sometimes more than 10 times
the price. Some brokers use illegal specialty software, called
“ticket bots,” to quickly pur-
chase as many desirable tickets
as possible for resale at significant markups, they said.
The report cited a single broker
buying 1,012 tickets within one
minute to a U2 concert at Madison Square Garden when they
went on sale on Dec. 8, 2014,
despite the vendor's claim of a
four-ticket limit. By day's end,
that broker and one other had
15,000 tickets to U2's North
American shows.
Madison Square Garden is
“well aware of the issue of tickets getting into the hands of brokers” and has been working to
address it, spokeswoman Kimberly Kerns said. “While there
are no obvious solutions, we
continually look for ways to
avoid selling tickets to brokers,”
she said.
Venues and sellers like Ticketmaster regularly tacked on fees
that added more than 21 percent
to the face value, investigators
said. They found that on average, 16 percent of tickets are reserved for various industry
insiders like the venue employees, artists and promoters, while
38 percent are reserved for presales to certain groups like hold-
ers of a particular credit card.
Ticketmaster did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The report also criticized
“price floors,” particularly by
sports leagues and teams including the NFL and New York Yankees, which are rules meant to
prevent tickets from being sold
below their face value and that
deprive the public of possibly
cheaper tickets. Many NFL
teams encourage or even require
ticket holders to use Ticketmaster's NFL Ticket Exchange platform, where the seller is
prohibited from cutting the
price.
“The more aggressively sports
leagues and individual teams
push ticket buyers and sellers to
use their 'official' secondary
markets, the more serious this
problem becomes,” the report
said.
“This investigation is just the
beginning of our efforts to create
a level playing field in the ticket
industry,” Schneiderman said.
An NFL spokesman said the
NFL Ticket Exchange is just one
of many options for ticket holders to buy or sell tickets.

Linen items lie neatly folded in a drawer. Marie Kondo, the author of the international

those that “spark joy” and bidding a fond but hasty farewell to the rest.
Kondo is back with more
tidying advice in ‘Spark Joy’
By KATHERINE ROTH
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Marie
Kondo is back.
Author of the international
best-seller “The Life-Changing
Magic of Tidying Up” (Ten
Speed Press, 2014), Kondo became famous for advising readers how to transform their lives
by sifting through their belongings one by one, embracing
those that “spark joy” and bidding a fond but hasty farewell to
the rest.
Her new book, “Spark Joy: an
Illustrated Master Class on the
Art of Organizing and Tidying
Up” (Ten Speed), provides illustrations and more detail.
“After I published my first
book, a lot of readers came with
a lot of questions,” the petite,
soft-spoken Kondo told The Associated Press, in Japanese, after
a presentation to a packed auditorium at the Japan Society in
New York.
Kondo is still communing lovingly with socks and blouses,
folding clothes like origami and
bowing in gratitude to her home.
She also has a fresh perspective
as a new mother.
“My daughter is only 6 months
old, so my method hasn’t
changed ... She cannot make a
mess yet. What has surprised me
most is the amount of stuff a
baby needs,” Kondo said, sitting
primly at the edge of her seat in
an impeccable white top over a
pale blue print dress.
“Once she gets older, I’m sure
there will be a little bit of adjustment.”
With an understated sense of
humor, she notes in her new
book that one of the people with
whom she has had to share her
storage methods is her new husband, himself so minimalist that
he moved in with only four cardboard boxes of belongings.
“I am learning that unspoken
family rules differ from one
household to another, and that
storage methods I had assumed
were obvious need to be properly shared and explained,” she
writes.
NEW YORK (AP) — “A nice
match,” says Jane Lynch, referring to herself and her new sitcom role. “Made in heaven, if
you will.”
Heaven, indeed.
On CBS’ “Angel From Hell”
(Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EST),
Lynch plays Amy, a spirited but
scatterbrained oddball who barrels into the life of Allison, a
sweet but neurotic young doctor
played by Maggie Lawson, insinuating herself as a self-styled
“guardian angel.” (“Angel From
Hell” also stars Kevin Pollak
and Kyle Bornheimer as Allison’s father and brother.)
Is Amy really on a job from
God? Or is she a boozy, jobless
nutcase from the streets?
“At one point I do something
great for Allison and she says,
‘Are you really an angel, or are
you just crazy?’ And I just say,
‘Does it matter?’”
In the process, Lynch stands
tall (all imposing 6 feet) keeping
Allison bemused as to just who
Amy is.
Lynch admits to being a bit bemused, too.
At a recent interview in New
York, Lynch reports that once
her series took flight, “with
every new script I read, I said,
‘This is TOO crazy!’” Like
when Amy stops on a street corner to consult with a traffic light,
which she recognizes as a fel-

low angel in traffic-light disguise.
“This show is not going to be
the sweet Roma (‘Touched by
an Angel’) Downey story,”
Lynch says with a laugh. “And
I’m not Michael (‘Highway to
Heaven’) Landon. I’m kind of
coarse, I come from a very
strange, psychotic place. But to
Amy, it’s all perfectly natural.
“The most important thing for
me in playing her: stay in the
heart. Amy’s mission is to really
love somebody, and let her
KNOW she’s loved. No matter
how weirdly Amy behaves,
she’s SO committed to this
woman Allison!”
Idyllic Youth
“I grew up in a Southside suburb of Chicago,” says Lynch,
55. “It was idyllic. But I was
plunked into a family that was
not artistic, and didn’t know
how to deal with my emotions.
I could be pretty volatile, especially when I didn’t feel understood, which was 99 percent of
the time. I do think that, as a
young person, I suffered over
that. But as I look back, it doesn’t even feel like part of me —
except when I act, and need
those emotions. Then I can
dredge it up.”
Breaking Out
“When you get out of school,
you just go where the wind
blows: Here’s an audition,
there’s an audition. And before
you know it, you’re where
you’re supposed to be. And that
was Second City,” where Lynch
was hired for the touring company.
After that, she scored lots of
work onstage and in TV and
films, though nothing launched
her as a star. “There was a part
of me that said, ‘Ohhh, when’s
the ship gonna come in for me?’
But then I would think, ‘Why
SHOULD I get a ship?’ And
once you get over that, in comes
your ship!”
Her “ship” was a commercial
for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes
that was directed by Christopher
Guest, who then remembered
her when casting his 2000 dogshow mockumentary, “Best in
Show.”
Another high-profile job: joining Steve Carell in the 2005
comedy hit “The 40-Year-Old
Virgin.”
‘Justified’ star Timothy
Olyphant returns to the stage
By MARK KENNEDY
AP
Marie Kondo
Kondo’s earlier book had no illustrations; “Spark Joy” is full of
her charming, child-like drawings of everything from organized kitchen cupboards, to
folding techniques for clothes
ranging from underwear to frilly
blouses to hoodies.
“It is very important that you
know how to fold clothes in the
correct way,” she informed the
crowd at the Japan Society, before daintily approaching a
demonstration table where a
small pile of unfolded clothing
awaited. For one thing, “make
sure you put a lot of love through
your palms,” she said.
The audience — die-hard fans
and those new to her KonMari
Method — applauded as Kondo
quickly folded one item after another into a tiny cube, balanced
each on edge to show how
tightly wound it was, then tucked
them neatly into what resembled
a lidless shoe box.
“Wow, that’s so cool. How did
she do that?” a man in the second
row whispered to his neighbor.
Kondo suggests setting the
boxes of origami-esque parcels
in drawers so that each is a joy-
provoking bento of delights.
What about those pesky possessions that fail to spark joy yet are
undeniably useful? Well, functionality can be beautiful too.
“After discarding a hammer because the handle was worn out, I
used my frying pan to pound in
any nails,” Kondo writes. But
after she threw out a screwdriver,
“I tried using a ruler to tighten a
loose screw, but it snapped down
the middle. This almost reduced
me to tears as it was one I really
liked.”
“All these incidents stemmed
from youthful inexperience and
thoughtlessness,” she continues.
Things that make life simpler,
“the recognition that a possession is useful in our lives —
these, too, indicate joy.”
“Spark Joy” includes advice on
moving, packing and decorating
with tiny, cheerful knickknacks
(this is smile-inducing minimalism).
She even gives a nod to those
who don’t thrill to tidying up.
Kondo admitted to her New York
audience that she regrets some of
her earlier zeal in discarding her
family’s belongings.
AP Drama Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Timothy
Olyphant had gotten only a few
pages into Kenneth Lonergan’s
new play when he told his wife,
“I’m going to want to do this.”
His wife’s response? “Finish

But Olyphant, best known for
six seasons of the FX series
“Justified” as Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, was
hooked: “I’m telling you right
now, I’m going to want to do

True to his word, Olyphant

roles in “The Santaland Diaries”
in 1996 and “The Monogamist”
in 1995.
“I personally came back to the

Largest shipment of fur out: 1935
By BOB MCMILLAN
Looking back in history, here
were some of the happenings in
the Cookeville area for the week
of Jan. 30-Feb. 4, as recorded in
the pages of the Herald-Citizen
1935
City Commissioner H.S. Hargis, in charge of Cookeville’s
public utilities, says the city is
cracking down on customers
who don’t pay their electric bills.
The city has just signed a
“standby” agreement with the
Tennessee Electric Power Company to provide electricity here
when the demand exceeds the
city’s ability to generate it.
Not long ago, flooding knocked
out the city’s power plant at
Burgess Falls, and interruptions
are still not infrequent.
“This assurance of continuous
electrical service is enjoyed by
few if any of the smaller towns
in Tennessee,” said Hargis.
But it’s costly, he said. So the
city is taking a more aggressive
stance towards bill collection.
No payment, no power, said Hargis.
Herman Mott of Mott’s Produce on the Square said this
week he’s sent out his largest
shipment ever of furs from the
region — 3,000 hides.
They were mostly grey fox, but
there were also skunks, albino
racoons, mink and white weasel
skins brought in by trappers in
the region.
Come by his storage house on
the Square if you’re interested in
buying or selling furs, he said.
(Jan. 31, 1935)
1941
Cookeville’s 200 Tennessee National Guardsmen and their 12
officers will become federal
troops on Feb. 24. It’s part of the
mobilization of 624 Tennessee
Guardsmen.
With war breaking out in Europe, the U.S. is beefing up its
active military forces. The
Cookeville men will train here
for a week or so and then ship out
to Camp Forrest in Tullahoma.
The Upper Cumberland Chamber of Commerce went to Washington this week to talk to
government officials about hydroelectric dams planned for the
area.
They’re going to get details on
when the dams at Center Hill and
Dale Hollow will be built.
They’re also looking into the
chances of getting government
defense plants in the area.
In a page one picture this week,
Haile Selassie, emperor-in-exile
of Ethiopia, is seen with British
officers training Abyssinian
troops. They’re getting ready to
fight the Italians, who recently
overran Selassie’s home country.
(Jan. 30, 1941)
1946
The American Legion is
strongly encouraging Congress
to pass a large-scale package of
legislation that would aid veterans, especially those disabled in
the world war that just ended.
The legislation would create aid
and pensions for vets, guarantee
them the right to reclaim their
former jobs, give them Social Security credit for money earned in
the military, and restrict immigration to keep aliens from competing with them for jobs in the
U.S.
In veteran’s news:
— William O’Neal, now serving in Manila, has been promoted
to the rank of first lieutenant.
He’s been in the service since
1941. His wife and daughter live
on Freeze Street here.
— Billy Stanton, in the army
since 1941, has been honorably
discharged. He saw several major
engagements in the Pacific.
— Ken Bailey has also been
discharged honorably after three
years in the military. In the drive
across Europe he saw action in
France, Belgium, Luxembourg
and Germany, including the recent Battle of the Rhine.
The country’s oldest justice of
the peace is dead. W.M. Watson,
a member of the Putnam County
Court for the past several years,
died this week at his home in
Monterey. He had also been a
city judge and a tax collector on
the mountain. (Jan. 31, 1946)
1954
It was a week of highs and lows
for the Dry Valley Community.
They’ve been active there recently, turning part of the Dry
Valley School, the heart of the
community’s social life, into a
community center and the people
went en masse to see the school’s
boys and girls basketball teams
play Bangham at the Algood
school this week.
It was the first teams the school
has fielded in some time and for
the girls, it was their first time to
play on a hardwood court. The
boys won 37-20. The girls lost
33-12.
The community gathered again
24 hours after the game to discuss what to do about their
school. It burned during the
night.
It not only destroyed the school,
but the community center the
people had prepared inside. They
lost an electric stove, a freezer, a
piano and other furnishings.
The fire is believed to have
originated in an old stove in the
recreation area. The community
had begun digging space under
the school to install a new furnace in the spring.
The school’s 72 students will be
sent to Cookeville City School
until other arrangements can be
made. (Feb. 4, 1954)
1964
In the latest go-around between
the county court and the school
board over the new high school,
a special meeting has been called
by the court to decide whether to
seek a court order to halt work
on the school.
Several commissioners are
charging that a contract the
board issued for the project is illegal.
Meanwhile, County Judge
Jimmy Mosier is arguing that
building a more “orthodox”
school rather than the one
planned by the board — one
with cluster classrooms —
would be $200,000 cheaper to
build and would cost the county
$15,000 less to operate each
year.
An historic house at White
Plains, east of Cookeville, has
just been renovated by its owners, Mr. and Mrs. Howard
Draper.
It’s the site of a home built by
Revolutionary War veteran
William Quarles, who was
headed west to claim land when
his wagon broke down here. It
snowed, delaying him further.
He liked the area and decided to
build here, transferring his land
grant to what would become Putnam County.
He started a prosperous plantation and built a two-story log
home. He was killed four years
later in a dispute. His daughter’s
husband, Steve Burton, bought
the farm. (Former Putnam Sheriff Alec Burton is a descendant.)
When the log home burned in
1825, Burton replaced it with a
fine two-story frame house. The
plantation continued to grow and
served as a post office for Putnam, Overton, Clay and parts of
White County.
He raised race horses too. Andrew Jackson, a lover of fine
horse flesh, was a frequent buyer
here. It was Jackson who encouraged Burton to run for Congress
to unseat a political enemy of the
president. Burton beat the opponent, David Crockett. Crockett
subsequently went to Texas
where he died at the Alamo.
The Drapers bought the house
seven years ago and the renovations have put electrical heat and
better plumbing in the structure,
which is now bricked-in. (Jan.
30, 1964)
1974
The nation’s independent truckers are on strike and they’ve set
up a check point in Cookeville
just off I-40 to encourage other
truckers to stop their rigs or head
home in support of the strike.
No violence has been reported
here, but across the state, windshields have been shot out of 15
trucks, including ones in
Nashville and Manchester.
The truckers are striking in
protest of high fuel prices and a
recent reduction of speed limits
on the nation’s highways by
President Richard Nixon. They
can’t legally go above 55 mph
now. (Jan. 30, 1974)

Wildlife experts say the wily
predators have been creeping

Jefferson Airplane co-founder Paul Kantner dies at age 74
BY HILLEL ITALIE
AP National Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Kantner, a
founding member of the Jefferson Airplane who stayed with the seminal San
Francisco band through its transformation from 1960s hippies to 1970s hit
makers as the eventual leader of successor group Jefferson Starship, has died at
age 74.
Kantner, who drew upon his passion
for politics and science fiction to help
write such rock classics as “Wooden
Ships” and “Volunteers,” died on Thursday of organ failure and septic shock. He
had been admitted to a San Francisco
hospital after falling ill earlier in the
week, his former girlfriend and publicist
Cynthia Bowman, the mother of one of
his three children, told The Associated
Press.
The guitarist and songwriter had survived close brushes with death as a
younger man, including a motorcycle
accident during the early 1960s and a
1980 cerebral hemorrhage, and he recovered from a heart attack last year.
Few bands were so identified with San

alism and hedonism of the late ‘60s as
Jefferson Airplane, its message boldly
stated on buttons and bumper stickers
that read “THE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE LOVES YOU.”
The Airplane advocated sex, psychedelic drugs, rebellion and a communal
lifestyle, operating out of an eccentric,
Colonial Revival house near HaightAshbury. Its members supported various
political and social causes, tossed out
LSD at concerts and played at both the
Monterey and Woodstock festivals.
Formed by veterans of the folk circuit
in the mid-’60s, the Airplane combined
folk, rock, blues and jazz and was the
first group from a Bay Area scene that
also featured Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead to achieve mainstream success,
thanks to the classics “Somebody to
Love” and “White Rabbit.”
Besides Kantner, who played rhythm
guitar and added backing vocals, the
Airplane’s best-known lineup included
singers Grace Slick and Marty Balin;
lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen; bassist
Jack Casady; and drummer Spencer
Dryden, who died in 2005. Jefferson
Airplane, named in part after blues artist
Blind Lemon Jefferson, was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
1996 and is scheduled to receive the
Recording Academy’s lifetime achievement award this year.

band and he was the first guy who taught
me how to roll a joint,” Balin wrote of
Kantner on his Facebook page. “And although I know he liked to play the
devil’s advocate, I am sure he has earned
his wings now”
Kantner, who looked as much like a
college student as a rock star with his
glasses and shaggy blonde hair, did not
have the vocal or stage presence of Balin
and Slick, or the instrumental power of
Kaukonen or Casady. But he became the
conscience of the band and by the end of
the ‘60s was shaping its increasingly
radical direction, whether co-writing the
militant “Volunteers” with Balin or inserting a profane taunt into his own incendiary “We Can Be Together,” leading
to an extended fight with their record
company, RCA.
Meanwhile, Kantner and Slick reigned
as one of rock’s most prominent couples. Rolling Stone would note their
contrasting styles, labeling Slick “the
Acid Queen of outrageousness” and
Kantner her “calm, dry, sardonic flip
side.”
apocalypse fantasy “Wooden Ships,”
which Jefferson Airplane and Crosby,
Stills and Nash each recorded and performed at Woodstock.
With perfect timing for a ‘60s band, the
Airplane began splitting apart at the end
of decade. Kaukonen and Casady
founded the blues group Hot Tuna, and
Balin, the band’s estranged original
leader, also left. In 1974, Kantner and
Slick brought in new musicians and renamed the group Jefferson Starship.
Their sound softened and, with Balin
back, they had hit singles with “Miracles” and “Count On Me” among others
and a No. 1 album, “Red Octopus.”
But by the mid-1980s, when Slick and
Mickey Thomas were lead vocalists,
Kantner thought the music so “mundane” that he left the Jefferson Starship
and successfully forced the remaining
members not to use the name “Jefferson.” (His former bandmates called
themselves “Starship” and had three No.
1 songs, including “Sara” and “We Built
This City”).
Over the past 30 years, Kantner, Balin
and Casady occasionally performed as
Kantner, Crosby and Stephen Stills the KBC Band and a reunited Airplane
would collaborate on the escapist, post- briefly toured and recorded.

Cookeville Camera Club opens Intro to Photography class
Q
: The Cookeville Camera Club
has been offering introductory
photo courses every winter for
a number of years. What are your
plans for this year?
A: The key word is “winter.” In some
respects that is the perfect time to be
inside to take a class, but a lot of photography is difficult to learn indoors.
Besides, it’s a lot more fun to be outside in nicer weather.
As you remember, last year was a
weather disaster for many, but it was at
least a big inconvenience for the
classes. It was difficult to get outside
and take pictures, and many class sessions had to be re-scheduled.
This year, we are moving the intro
class to March/April in an attempt to
avoid the worst weather. We will see.
Q: Any changes in store this year?
A: Always! A newly revised course,
Getting Started in Photography, will be
a seven-session class offered on Saturdays at the Putnam County Library in
Cookeville for up to sixteen participants. It will begin on March 5.
In addition, we are moving to be more
inclusive in terms of the type of camera
a participant may use. In the past, each
camera was required to be a dSLR, but
this session will be open to people with
any camera that has manual settings, in
addition to automatic modes. Camera
technology is continuing to progress
with new models that are smaller,
lighter, and possibly less expensive
than the traditional dSLR.
Q: What about camera phones?
A: Camera phones are amazing in
terms of the quality they can provide.
This summer, we plan to offer a new,
shorter course dedicated to phone cameras and other so-called basic “point
and shoot” cameras. The intent of the
summer course is to expose participants to the art of photography that is
possible with iPhones and Android
phones. The cameras in smart phones
are so much more capable than just
taking “selfies”.
However, for the March/April course,
phone cameras do not meet the requirement.
Q: I assume you do not consider

color and black and white.
“selfie” pictures as art?
A: Well . . . We are trying to appeal to
people who want to move beyond taking snapshots. Creating a photograph
involves two main skills: technical
mastery of the camera, and “seeing”
the world differently. The second part
is about recognizing the potential of a
scene, and using a camera to make a
photograph that has emotional impact.
The impact could be laughter, joy, happiness, anger, or just plain “Wow!” . . .
any emotion, really. Impact could also
be the result of seeing an interesting
story that a photograph will tell. After
recognizing the potential, the photographer will make conscious decisions to
present the resulting image in the most
creative, unique, and highly interesting
way possible.
The good news is any camera can be
used to create a photograph with impact. On the other hand, making photographs with impact requires lots and

lots of practice — just like learning
any new skill.
Q: Where do you get more information?
A: Go to www.cookevillecameraclub.com and look for the “Getting
Started in Photography” link on the left
side of the home page. The link will
show much more information about the
course including specific dates and
times. You will also be able to register
and pay online.
Class participants are also encouraged
to attend our meetings.
Club members have a wide variety of
experience in many types of photography, and they are eager to help people
who are beginning to learn how to use
their cameras.
Register soon — there are only 16
spots.

Long-lived asparagus plants can last decades
By DEAN FOSDICK
Associated Press
Asparagus is a delicious and resilient
perennial that can be grown anywhere
from kitchen gardens to roadside
ditches and flowery meadows. In raised
beds, too.
But be careful when scouting locations. Once established, this hardy plant
will produce for 20 years or more.
Asparagus is considered something of
a gourmet vegetable but it isn’t a crop
for impatient gardeners, says Brenna
Aegerter, a University of California
farm adviser based in San Joaquin
County.
“To be on the safe side, you don’t want
to over-harvest, so it’s good to wait at
least two years after planting,” Aegerter
said. “You don’t want to take them too
early. You want those underground
crowns (year-old root systems) to build
up a carbohydrate reserve.”
Asparagus should be planted in sunny,
well-drained sites in spring, using uniformly sized crowns set 18 inches apart
and in rows some 5 feet apart. Wait until
the threat of frost has passed.
Place crowns in the furrows and fill
with about 2 inches of soil. Gradually
boost the rows with soil as the plants
continue their growth, or until the
crowns are about 6 inches below the
surface.
AP
Asparagus grows in a deep container in a yard in Langley, Wash. Asparagus is a surprisingly large fernlike plant that can grow to heights of five feet or more.
Each crown can produce about a halfpound of edible spears per year when
fully established.
“Asparagus is very drought-tolerant
and can usually grow without supplemental watering because it seeks moisture deep in the soil,” according to an
Ohio State University fact sheet.
The optimal pH for asparagus is 6.5 to
7.5. Weed growing beds thoroughly, and
fertilize with a 10-20-10 formulation
before planting.
“You can’t completely neglect it but
asparagus isn’t a high-maintenance
plant,” Aegerter said. “It is susceptible
to a few serious diseases, but for the
Sandy Duncan, an ex-Peter Pan,
to join Pan show on Broadway
By MARK KENNEDY
AP Drama Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — One of
the best Peter Pans ever is returning home to Broadway —
and to a musical about Peter
Pan.
Sandy Duncan, who played
the boy who won’t grow up on
Broadway from 1979-81, will
soon replace Carolee Carmello
in “Finding Neverland,” easily
the most inspired piece of recasting in recent history.
Making the move even more
special is the fact that Duncan
will be returning to the LuntFontanne Theatre, where she
played Peter in the first Broadway revival, earning her one of
her three Tony Award nominations.
The “Finding Neverland” musical is adapted from the 2004
Duncan
whimsical film of the same
name about a widow whose
four young sons inspired play-
wright J.M. Barrie to write the
children’s classic.
Starting Feb. 9, Duncan will
play the widow’s mother, joining Tony Yazbeck as Barrie
and Kelsey Grammer as both
the American theatrical producer Charles Frohman and a
fearsome Captain Hook.
Duncan, known for her TV
turn in “The Hogan Family,”
previous was on Broadway in
“Chicago,” ‘’Canterbury
Tales” and “The Boyfriend.”
She will turn 70 on Feb. 20.
“Finding Neverland” is directed by Diane Paulus and has

James Graham, whose “This
House” premiered at the National Theatre in 2012. Music
and lyrics are by Gary Barlow

songwriter and producer Eliot
Kennedy.
most part doesn’t have high fertilizer
needs. Its roots go deep so it also
doesn’t need the kind of watering that
something like tomatoes would need.”
Asparagus is a surprisingly large fernlike plant that can grow to heights approaching 5 feet in dedicated sites.
“Asparagus produces over a two- or
three-month period and needs a large
garden to produce a family harvest,”
Aegerter said. “It would be much more
popular if it didn’t take up so much
space.”
Weed control is the most challenging
part of growing asparagus, said David
Trinklein, an associate professor of
plant sciences at the University of Missouri.
“Asparagus is a poor competitor with
weeds,” Trinklein said. “On small plantings, very light cultivation with a hoe
may be used to remove weeds, but
avoid using power rotary tillers or any
other tillage implements that can damage the crown, reduce yields and promote diseases.”
Use organic mulches liberally to suppress weeds, he said.
Asparagus spears or shoots begin
emerging from the ground in early
spring when the soil warms to about 50
degrees.
“When spears are 7 to 9 inches tall and
still have tight tips, they are ideal for
harvest,” Trinklein said. “When the
leaves of the spears start to unfurl or
’fern out,’ the spear is past its prime for
eating.”
Asparagus tastes best if eaten immediately after harvest. It will tolerate refrigeration for several weeks, but at the
expense of some sweetness, crispness
and flavor.

Ask Walter Stasiuk, owner of Tennessee

“It really began when I donated a kidney

He bought the Nashville Beltone franchise in 1990 and a little more than 10

There are three phases of communitybased hearing healthcare.
The first is identifying and training local
programs teams comprised of partners,
clinicians and community-based hearing
healthcare coordinators and conduct community outreach to raise awareness of
hearing loss, educate communities on
hearing loss prevention and to identify potential hearing aid candidates. This phase
also deals with collecting important hearing healthcare information, provide primary ear care services and complete
hearing screenings for potential hearing
aid candidates and take ear impressions
and create custom earmolds for qualified
hearing aid candidates.

State ECD kicks off broadband assessment
By LAURA MILITANA
COOKEVILLE — Having access to broadband
internet is critical now and in the future with regards to economic development of Tennessee.
But first, the problems in getting access need to
be identified.
“Tennessee’s economic future is directly tied to
our broadband access,” Tennessee Department of
Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd said. “Broadband access impacts our quality of life, educational opportunities,
healthcare and our businesses’ ability to compete.”
With that in mind, the ECD has launched a
statewide assessment of broadband access and
usage in Tennessee. It is an impartial survey of
broadband access, adoption and usage of Tennessee’s rural, suburban and urban communities.
“First, we have to define the problem and that involves three things,” he said. “One, work on the
defintion of broadband. Second, what is the penetration of broadband access across the state? And
last, we start estimating the cost.”
He noted that the department has looked at other
states and how those have addressed the problem.
“It’s critical now and in the future, especially with
regards to education,” he said. “Many students
need access to the internet at school. It’s also essential for entrepreneuers. It allows anyone to start
a business — and even access their business —
from anywhere in the country. And it’s also essential with regards to telehealth, something that’s in
its infancy, but will be taking off soon.”
The department determined the need for a
statewide assessment of broadband access and
usage during his initial set of listening tours across
the state in early 2015. Elected leaders, business
executives and economic development profession-
als in all nine TNECD regions told Boyd and department officials that a lack of broadband access
may hurt future economic development efforts in
rural Tennessee.
TNECD Assistant Commissioner for Rural Development Amy New said broadband access is crucial to driving workforce development and
furthering entrepreneurism in rural areas.
A survey is available for households or businesses/non-profits/governmental entities and consists of a speed test, what the person most uses the

Regulators get input — sort of
— on self-driving car rollout
By JUSTIN PRITCHARD
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)
— California regulators deciding how to permit the future
rollout of self-driving cars
have been told by consumer
advocates that their cautious
approach was right on, and by
companies developing the
technology that the current
course will delay deployment
of vehicles that promise huge
safety benefits.
The state’s Department of
Motor Vehicles heard the comments Thursday at a workshop
as it wrestles with how to keep
the public safe as the imperfect
technology matures — but not
regulate so heavily that the
agency stifles development of
the vehicles.
The agency sought suggestions of possible changes to a
draft of precedent-setting regulations it released last month.
Those regulations will govern
how Californians can get the
cars once companies move beyond their current testing of
prototypes.
Because California has been
a hotbed for the development
and regulation of the technology, what happens in the state
has ripple effects nationally.
What the DMV had hoped
would be a technical discussion Thursday about legal language instead drifted toward
broad statements about the
technology’s merits.
Most vocal were advocates
for the blind — a group that
has not been central to the regulatory debate. Several argued
the technology could change
their lives, and the agency
should not get in the way.
“Please don’t leave my family out in the waiting room,”
said Jessie Lorenz, who is
blind and relies on public transit to get her 4-year-old daughter to preschool. Lorenz would
prefer to use a self-driving car
for that — or even a “spontaneous road trip.”
She said she has taken a ride
in a self-driving car that
Google Inc. has been developing, “and it was awesome.”
DMV attorney Brian Soublet
said the agency appreciates the
potential benefits for disabled
people, but its focus has to be
on the safety of the entire motoring public.
Google wants California to
clear the road for the technology — and has expressed disappointment in the DMV’s
draft regulations, which say
self-driving cars must have a
steering wheel in case onboard
computers or sensors fail. A licensed driver would need to sit
in the driver’s seat, ready to
seize control.
“We need to be careful about
the assumption that having a
person behind the wheel” will
make driving safer, Chris
Urmson, the leader of
Google’s self-driving car project, told the agency.
Google has concluded that
human error is the biggest danger in driving, and the company wants to remove the
steering wheel and pedals from
cars of the future, giving people minimal ability to intervene.
Urmson said that if the draft
regulations are not changed,
Google’s car would not be
available in California. While
Google has been testing on
roads here for several years —
with trained safety drivers behind the wheel, just in case —
it might deploy cars without
steering wheels in Texas,
where regulators hailed the
technology when Google
began testing prototypes there
last summer.
California’s DMV is still
months away from finalizing
any regulations.
Under the draft framework,
an independent certifier would
need to verify a manufacturer’s assurances that its cars
are safe. Google and traditional automakers want manufacturer self-certification, the
standard for other cars.
Once a company receives
that verification, manufacturers would receive a permit for
three years.
Consumers could lease the
cars, but manufacturers would
be required to keep tabs on
how safely they are driving
and report that performance to
the state. Drivers would need
special,
manufacturer-provided training, and then get a
special certification on their licenses.
If a car breaks the law, the
driver would be responsible.
John Simpson of the nonprofit Consumer Watchdog
commended the DMV on
Thursday “for putting safety
first. I think you got it exactly
right” in the draft, he said.
Earlier this month, federal officials announced an aggressive plan to get the technology
to the public’s hands sooner
than later.
In written guidance, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, projected that
“fully automated vehicles are
nearing the point at which
widespread deployment is feasible.”
It remains unclear just how
the bullish federal approach
will affect California’s regulatory process.
Neither Google nor traditional automakers have said
they think the cars are ready
yet, but at least a dozen companies are developing the technology and nearly as many
have permission to test in California. Google has suggested
a model could be ready for
limited use sooner than the
public realizes.
Several times during Thursday’s workshop, DMV officials urged commenters to
offer specific changes to the
draft regulations, sometimes in
reaction to comments that the
regulations fell short.
Speaker Curt Augustine of
the Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers said his organization did not agree with the
DMV’s third-party certification requirement.
DMV attorney Soublet asked
for proposed fixes, invoking a
saying his father told him:
It only takes one wrecking
ball to demolish a house, but a
whole crew to build one.
The agency has been working
on regulations for testing and
now deployment for nearly
three years — and regulations
on deployment were supposed
to be final a year ago.
Survey: U.S. consumer confidence slips in January

WASHINGTON (AP) — American consumers
lost some confidence this month after the stock
market tumbled and the economy showed signs
of weakness, the University of Michigan said
Friday.
The university’s index of consumer sentiment
slipped to 92 in January from 92.6 last month. A
year ago, the index stood at 98.1.
Richard Curtin, chief economist for Michigan’s
surveys, blamed a drop in stocks that caused an
“an erosion of household wealth, as well as
weakened prospects for the national economy.”
The Dow Jones industrial average has dropped
more than 6.5 percent so far this year, largely on
fears that China’s slowing economy is dragging
down global growth.
And the U.S. government reported Friday that
the U.S. economy expanded at an anemic 0.7
percent annual pace from October through December.

Hold on
for now
D
ear Dave: My husband was laid off a
month ago from a job
making $80,000 a year. We
have no debt except our house
payment. We owe about
$82,000 on it, but it’s valued
at approximately $300,000.
We’ve also got an emergency
fund of
$30,000,
Dave
and I work
Says
part-time
making
about
$2,000 a
month
while he
collects
unemployment and
looks for
another
job.
Dave
Do you
Ramsey
think we
should sell
our home?
We’ve also got a boat that’s
worth about $18,000 we could
sell.
Sheila
Dear Sheila: The first thing I
want you to do is take a step
back and breathe. Yes, you
guys just hit a big bump in the
road. But the good news is
you’re in pretty good shape financially to handle things for
a while.
At this point, I’d strongly
recommend selling the boat
over selling the house. Boats
are a lot easier to replace than
nice homes, and the process
isn’t nearly as traumatic on the
family. You can also dip into
your emergency fund a little
bit, but for the next little while
you need to make sure you’re
living on a really tight, bare
bones budget. I’d love to see
you not have to touch the
emergency fund, because he’s
gone out and found at least a
part-time position while he’s
searching for something in his
field. I know that’s tough to
do once you’ve gotten used to
making $80,000, but there are
jobs out there that will help
you guys get through this.
As long as he’s being diligent in seeking a new job, and
you’re budgeting and watching what you spend together, I
think for now you should keep
the house. God bless you
both!
Dear Dave: Do you recommend having people keep their
W2 numbers as close to their
tax return numbers as possible, even if they might have to
pay at the end of the year or
have more taken out? Every
year I get a big tax return. But
after listening to you I began
to think that if I did a better
job of planning I would have
more money throughout the
year.
Charlie
Dear Charlie: I like your
thinking, and you’re absolutely right. That’s exactly
what I recommend people do
when it comes to their income
taxes. Of course, you don’t
want to have to pay out a big
chunk of cash. But a little
number crunching and planning ahead of time can help
you avoid those kinds of situations.
You really don’t want a big
refund, and here’s why. If you
get a fat tax refund every year,
all it means is you’ve loaned
money to the government interest-free for the entire year.
Then, at the end of the year
they gave it back to you. Some
people seem to think Santa
Claus has shown up when this
happens, and that’s completely
wrong. You’ve had too much
taken out of your check every
payday during the previous
year, and then you got it back.
Try to adjust your W2 so that
you are hitting within $100 or
so at the end of the year. Then
you’ll have more of your own
money in your own pocket
throughout the entire year!

Fiat Chrysler bets on SUV craze, sees Jeep sales soaring
By DEE-ANN DURBIN
Associated Press Writer
DETROIT (AP) — Fiat Chrysler says
the worldwide SUV craze is here to
stay, and it’s leaning heavily on the Jeep
brand to improve its fortunes.
The Italian-American carmaker predicts Jeep sales will nearly double to 2
million worldwide by 2018, fueled by
low gas prices and new models. To keep
up, Fiat Chrysler plans to cut production
of small cars in the U.S. so it can build
more Jeeps.
The world’s seventh-largest carmaker
raised its Jeep sales targets Wednesday
after releasing disappointing full-year
earnings for 2015.
Fiat Chrysler reported 2015 net profit
of 377 million euros ($409 million),
down from 632 million euros a year earlier and lagging analyst expectations.
Fourth-quarter net profit fell 40 percent
to 251 million euros.
Jeep was the bright spot. Fiat Chrysler
sold 1.3 million Jeeps worldwide in
2015, up 21 percent from the previous
year. Without Jeep, Fiat Chrysler’s sales
were lackluster. The company sold 4.6
million vehicles overall, up slightly
from 2014.
North American revenue jumped 33
percent to 70 billion euros ($76 billion).
Jeep sales rose 25 percent in the U.S.,
where Fiat Chrysler says low gas prices
are now a “permanent” fixture and more
customers are gravitating to SUVs and
trucks.
Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne
said the company wants to find a partner
to build small cars like the Dodge Dart
AP photo
In this 2015 file photo, salesperson Andrew Montalvo, left, talks to a
customer checking out the interior of a 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited
in Doral, Fla.
and Chrysler 200 so it can make more
Jeeps at its U.S. plants. Marchionne said
Jeep plants are currently running at a
pace that is “unsustainable.”
Marchionne didn’t say which U.S.
plants could start making more Jeeps.
But last year’s contract with the United
Auto Workers union promised new vehicles for the Belvidere, Illinois, and
Sterling Heights, Michigan, plants that
now make the Dart and 200. The
Belvidere plant is shut down this week
because of slow demand, while the Ster-
ling Heights plant is scheduled to close
for six weeks next month.
“Whatever we put in place will deal
with demand and unmet demand as we
see it today,” Marchionne said.
Europeans also bought a record number of Jeeps last year, helping Fiat
Chrysler’s European revenue rise 13
percent to 20 billion euros ($22 billion).
But Fiat Chrysler’s revenue slumped
by 25 percent in Latin America, hurt by
economic weakness in Brazil and Argentina. Revenue also fell 22 percent in
Asia, pressured by price competition
from Chinese automakers and an interruption in shipments after the Tianjin
port explosion.
“Brazil came out of left field and left
most of us staring at uncertain market
conditions,” Marchionne said in a conference call with analysts. “It’s very difficult to call the bottom of this market.”
A slowdown in demand for imported
cars in China was also unexpected,
Marchionne said. As a result, the company is refocusing its plans for Alfa
Romeo’s growth on North America and
Europe and away from China. The rollout of new Alfa vehicles will slow, but
the company will stick to its plan of offering seven new models, including two
utility vehicles, by 2020.
Full-year net revenue for Fiat Chrysler
was 113 billion euros ($123 billion), up
18 percent, and slightly beating analyst
forecasts of 112 billion euros as compiled by information company FactSet.
Fiat Chrysler said it expects net revenue of 110 billion euros and a net profit
of 1.9 billion euros in 2016.
In 2014, Fiat Chrysler set a target of
selling 7 million vehicles per year by
2018. On Wednesday, Marchionne
shifted away from that volume target
and said the focus should instead be on
hitting financial targets like revenue and
net profit, which were revised upwards.
The 2015 results included Ferrari,
which was spun off from its mass-market parent at the start of this year. Ferrari
net profit dropped 4 percent last year.
Fiat Chrysler’s shares fell 2 percent to
close at $7.45 on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Tips on how to avoid tax return preparer fraud
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance’s
(TDCI) Division of Consumer Affairs
is offering consumers tips to avoid tax
return preparer fraud. Although Tax
Day isn’t until April 18th, the Division
encourages you to file early and vet
your tax preparer to avoid fraud.
“If you decide to have a tax return preparer prepare and file your income tax
return, it is important to choose that
person carefully,” TDCI Deputy Commissioner Bill Giannini said. “Finding
a qualified professional takes a little
planning and some research, but remember, you are responsible for everything on your return, even when
someone else prepares it.”
Tax return preparer fraud or misconduct can happen to anyone, even if you
hire a preparer who you believe is professional and honest. For example, a
preparer might change your tax return
after you’ve approved and signed it, altering income or credits to obtain a bigger refund and then keeping some or all
of it.
In some cases, the preparer might
steal your whole refund by changing di-
rect deposit information. Another common fraud situation can occur when the
preparer files a return without your authorization — he or she might have
your information from a prior year, and
use that information to file a return for
the current year. Or perhaps you met
with a preparer and then chose not to
hire that person, but the preparer filed
a return using your information anyway.
The Division of Consumer Affairs
urges Tennesseans to do research before trusting anyone with important tax
information:
Check the preparer’s qualifications
Make sure the preparer has a PTIN
(Preparer Tax Identification Number)
— this is required for all professional
preparers.
Find out if the preparer is affiliated
with any professional associations.
Ask the preparer about his or her education and training — what background
does that person have that qualifies him
or her to prepare your return?
Check the preparer’s history
Check with the Better Business Bureau in your area to see if the preparer
has had complaints filed about him or
her.
Check with professional associations
to see if the preparer has had any disciplinary actions, and for the status of the
preparer’s license:
For Certified Public Accountants
(CPAs): If the preparer is a CPA, verify
his or her license with the Tennessee
Board
of
Accountancy
at
www.verify.tn.gov. For more information about the Tennessee Board of Accountancy, visit www.tn.gov/regboards
or call 888-453-6150.
For attorneys: Verify an attorney is licensed to practice law in Tennessee by
visiting the Board of Professional Responsibility’s website directory at
www.tbpr.org.
For Enrolled Agents: Verify the status
of an enrolled agent by contacting the
IRS Office of Enrollment at 855-4725540 or [email protected].
Ask about charges and fees
Avoid preparers who base their fee on
the amount of your refund.
Try to obtain a clear estimate, preferably in writing, for the preparation and
filing services.
Find out what services the preparer
offers
Does the preparer offer electronic filing?
Will the preparer be available after
April 15 if you have questions or problems? Consider whether the preparer
will be around to answer questions
about your return months or years after
it is filed.
Ask around
Do you know anyone who has used
this preparer? Were they satisfied with
the service? If not, why not?
Protect yourself
Always get a complete copy of your
tax return. Verify that the preparer
signed it and included a PTIN.
Avoid any preparer who asks you to
sign a blank return or requires the refund to be direct-deposited to a bank
account under the preparer’s control.
Note: Be careful when a preparer
claims he or she can get you a larger refund than other preparers. Remember,
even if your preparer handles everything involved in completing your tax
return, you are still responsible for its
accuracy.
AP sources: Panel proposes ban on air shipments of batteries
By JOAN LOWY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.N. panel
has recommended that cargo shipments
of rechargeable lithium batteries be
banned from passenger airliners because the batteries can create fires capable of destroying planes, said aviation
officials familiar with the decision.
The International Civilian Aviation Organization’s air navigation commission,
the agency’s highest technical body,
also proposed in a closed-door meeting
Wednesday that the ban be lifted if new
packaging can be developed that provides an acceptable level of safety.
Final approval from the ICAO toplevel council is still needed. The council
is scheduled to take up the matter in late
February.
The officials spoke on condition that
they not be named because they weren’t
authorized to speak publicly.
Lithium-ion batteries are used to
power everything from cellphones and
laptops to hybrid and all-electric cars.
About 5.4 billion lithium-ion cells were
manufactured worldwide in 2014. A
battery is made up of two or more cells.
A majority are transported on cargo
ships, but about 30 percent are shipped
by air.
Federal Aviation Administration tests
show a single damaged or defective battery can experience uncontrolled temperature increases that can spread
throughout a shipment. It’s not unusual
for tens of thousands batteries to be
shipped in a single cargo container.
In FAA tests, the overheating batteries
have released explosive gases that,
when ignited, have blown the doors off
cargo containers and sent boxes of batteries hurtling through the air before becoming engulfed in flames.
Engineers from FAA’s technical center
AP file
This file frame grab from video provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) shows a test at the
FAAs technical center in Atlantic City, N.J., last April, where a cargo container was packed with 5,000
rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. A U.N. aviation panel is recommending a ban on shipping rechargeable
batteries as cargo on passenger airliners because the batteries can create fires capable of destroying
planes.
told a public meeting last year that the
explosions are forceful enough to knock
the interior panels off cargo compartment walls. That would allow halon, the
fire suppression agent used in airliners,
to escape, leaving nothing to prevent
fires from spreading unchecked.
Safety experts believe at least three
cargo planes have been destroyed by
lithium battery fires since 2006. Four pilots died in those accidents.
The proposed ban wouldn’t apply to
cargo planes despite efforts by the International Federation of Air Line Pilot Associations to include cargo operations.
George Kerchner, a rechargeable bat-
tery industry official, said the commission ignored other possible solutions
short of a ban to make shipments safer
like more stringent packaging, limiting
the batteries’ state of charge, and new
labeling requirements.
A ban could hinder “the ability of medical device manufacturers to ship lifesaving medical device batteries,” said
Kerchner, executive director of PRBA
— The Rechargeable Battery Association.
Last March, an organization that represents aircraft manufacturers — including the world’s two largest, Boeing
and Airbus — told ICAO that airliners
aren’t designed to withstand lithium
battery fires and that continuing to accept battery shipments is “an unacceptable risk.”
Six months later the U.S. decided to
back a ban. But the battery industry,
shippers and the International Air Transport Association, a global airline trade
group, have strongly resisted. They say
the risk is primarily due to shady manufacturers, mostly in China, that evade
packaging and handling regulations.
The Transportation Department is
barred from imposing its own ban under
a 2012 law Congress passed at the behest of industry.

After tough holiday season,
small retailers are strategizing
By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — A disappointing holiday
shopping season has small and independent retailers thinking about how to get customers interested
in shopping in 2016.
After holiday sales fell 25 percent compared to a
year earlier at Standout Style Boutique, a women’s
clothing store in Chicago, owner Tamika Maria
Price is making plans for a brighter year.
To double her Facebook advertising to establish
more of an emotional connection with shoppers.
She’s also planning events like networking sessions
and style and makeup lessons at the store that she
hopes will turn attendees into long-term customers.
Price felt she needed to do more than simply slash
prices because she more than doubled her discounts
on some items during the holiday season, more
than she expected. That contributed to her drop in
revenue.
“That tears a whole in your bottom line when
you’re already reasonably priced,” she says.
January is the time for retailers to evaluate every
aspect of their business and start making changes
to improve sales, says Bob Phibbs, CEO of The Retail Doctor, a consulting company based in Coxsackie, New York. The type of merchandise they
sell, the appearance of their stores, their marketing
programs and staff training should all be re-examined, he says.
Strategizing is particularly important after a tough
holiday season. Sales fell short of expectations
across the retail industry; the National Retail Federation estimated sales rose 3 percent to about $626
billion, below the trade group’s 3.7 percent forecast. Unusually warm weather cut into demand for
merchandise like sweaters and coats, but revenue
was also hurt by stores’ need to discount to compete with other retailers.
A slow holiday season can be particularly difficult
for small and independent retailers who don’t have
the sales volume and financial resources to compete with the huge discounts offered by big national
chains. Small retailers’ profit margins tend to be
thinner than the big players, giving them less wiggle room on discounts.
Business has been especially disappointing for retailers in parts of the country where the economy
is weaker. The plunging price of oil has led to the
layoffs of thousands of energy workers in states
like Texas and North Dakota. Retailer Cynthia Sutton-Stolle felt the impact during the holidays, when
customers shopped more conservatively at her
home decor and gift shop, The Silver Barn, in
Columbus, Texas.
“They will still come in and buy, but maybe not
as often or buy a smaller piece,” Sutton-Stolle says.
She estimates her fourth-quarter revenue was down
10 percent from a year earlier.
To boost her sales this year, Sutton-Stolle plans to
focus more on the gift side of her business, which
has been more lucrative than home decor. She also
plans to create an online store.
“It will give us a chance to not be so regionally
connected and be a bit more national in scope,” she
says.
Some retailers figured out their strategy during
the season when sales weren’t as strong as expected. Although Rod Brown had events like bourbon tastings in his men’s clothing store, The Shirt
Box, he had to do much more reaching-out as the
season progressed to get shoppers to come in.
After mailing a discount coupon to customers,
Brown and his four staffers called hundreds of people to remind them to take advantage of the promotion for $25 off a $100 purchase. Many did
come in, and The Shirt Box’s sales for the season
ultimately turned out as Brown expected.
“This was not a year of setting records, but maintaining where we were,” says Brown, whose store
is located in Farmington Hills, Michigan, outside
of Detroit.
Customers appreciated the personal contact with
Brown and his staff, who know their best customers’ tastes and sizes. So he plans to continue
staying in close contact with them this year.
“We’ve learned that it’s the least costly and most
effective way to be in touch with customers,”
Brown says.
GE Aviation cutting more 7 percent
of engineering workforce
EVENDALE, Ohio (AP) —
GE Aviation is cutting 238 engineering jobs in southwestern
Ohio and 69 at other U.S. sites
as it trims more than 7 percent
of its engineering workforce.
A spokesman for the General
Electric Co. unit based in the
Cincinnati suburb of Evendale
said Thursday that the cuts are
not due to any decline in business.
No jobs will be affected in the
Dayton-area, but sites in West
Chester Township will be affected by reductions, said
spokesman Rick Kennedy.
Kennedy said the cuts are necessary as the company’s new jet
engines move from development and testing to production.
He said the company is unable
to maintain its current level of
more than 4,300 engineers in
the United States.
Affected engineers will receive severance benefits and
continue getting wages and
medical coverage for an amount
of time based on how long
they’ve worked at the company,
he said.
Notifications will begin at the
end of January.
GE Aviation still will employ
more than 3,000 engineers in
the area after the cuts and has
offered voluntary early retirement to several hundred eligible
engineers, Kennedy said.
“Significant effort has been
made to move as many engineers as possible to other positions at GE Aviation and other
GE businesses,” he said.
According to the company,
several new engine programs
are in their early development
cycle, including advanced military programs.

Why stay in a bad job? Reasons
can be practical or emotional
By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — When workers say they
hate their jobs or their bosses are abusive, people
wonder: Why don’t you quit?
It can happen at any company. Staffers may feel
that their atmosphere is unpleasant or contentious. But they may not leave, and instead
spend years being unhappy.
The reasons for staying include practical considerations like a good paycheck and benefits and
experience that will look good on a resume. But
often there are emotional reasons that stop employees from mustering the energy to look for a
new job.
“If you’re depressed and down in general, and
you’re in a very negative place, it’s very hard to
launch a job search,” says Belinda Plutz, owner
of Career Mentors, a consultancy based in New
York.
Many people cling to a bad situation out of fear
that if they get a new job, it might not work out
— much like the old saying, “better the devil you
know than the devil you don’t know,” Plutz says.
But she finds that people who have been laid off
in the past often find it easier to make a move,
believing they’ll again land on their feet.
There may also be deep-seated psychological
factors at work when an unhappy worker stays
put.
“There’s a bad feeling that may not be conscious, but it’s there: ’I don’t deserve better,’”
says Nancy Kulish, a psychoanalyst and author
of psychological books who practices in Birmingham, Michigan.
In some cases, employees have had abusive or
selfish parents who gave their children the unconscious belief that they must accept whatever
poor treatment they receive, Kulish says.
“I’m worthless, and I’m lucky to be here. That’s
what they’re told,” Kulish says. The adult worker
may not understand this dynamic feeds justifications for not seeking something better.
Parents’ attitudes about working may also influence an unhappy employee to stay. Katie McDonald despised her job at a telecommunications
company, where the corporate atmosphere limited her autonomy and stifled her creativity. Her
parents were very conservative about staying in
a job, and she believes that helped discouraged
her from leaving.
“I was locked in this ridiculous notion of, I have
a ’good’ job, and it would be foolish to leave and
give up this security,” says McDonald, who has
small businesses including a corporate writing
company based in Toronto.
Sometimes the practical reasons and emotional
ones pile up. Three months into her public relations job at a Boston financial services company,
Sara DiVello was miserable. Her boss was abusive, insulting and undermined DiVello, keeping
her out of important meetings. DiVello felt she
couldn’t leave; she hoped for a year-end bonus
and also didn’t want a prospective employer to
think she was unreliable for quitting so soon.
“They’re afraid you’re going to do it to them
and they won’t hire you,” she says.
The atmosphere didn’t improve under a different manager.
“I kept thinking, ’I can solve this. I can make it
work,’” says DiVello. After three years, she had
had enough, realized she needed to feel good
about herself and her work, and she quit. She
now teaches yoga.
For some people, a bad work environment
comes as an unpleasant surprise soon after
they’re hired, while for others, the bad times start
later, with a new boss or reorganization. But
some people go to work for companies understanding that while they’ll give a big paycheck,
they face long hours and a difficult atmosphere,
says Roy Cohen, a career counselor based in
New York.
He cited hedge funds and law firms as examples.
“In certain industries, there will be abusive behavior In order to benefit from some of the
riches, you’ve got to put up with it,” Cohen says.
The status of working at a high-profile company
can also make some people stay even when they
feel oppressed. But the cachet can disappear if
bosses are uncaring or hostile when a staffer has
a family or health problem, Cohen says.
“None of us ever expects something horrible to
happen, but it’s inevitable it will happen in our
lives in some way, and a company doesn’t necessarily respect that,” he says.
Japan economy minister
quits over graft allegations
By ELAINE
KURTENBACH
AP Business Writer
TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s economy minister resigned Thursday as he fended off corruption allegations, in a setback for Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe’s effort to rev up growth in the world’s thirdlargest economy.
Akira Amari choked back tears as he announced
his resignation in a televised news conference. He
denied wrongdoing but apologized for causing
“concern and trouble” and for undermining public
trust in the government with a “very embarrassing
situation.”
The corruption scandal surfaced last week after
the magazine Weekly Bunshun reported that Amari
and his aides accepted at least 12 million yen
($103,000) in cash and hospitality from the unnamed construction company.
As economy and fiscal minister since late 2012,
Amari has been one of the most trusted members
of Abe’s Cabinet. He also served as Japan’s top negotiator for the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership
trade pact. Amari, 66, is a career politician and son
of a lawmaker who was first elected in 1983.
With Amari’s departure, Abe has lost a key ally
as he is gearing up for an upper house election in
the summer.
Political donations and their handling are peren-
nial weak spots for Japanese lawmakers. The allegations against Amari have become fodder for attacks by Communist Party, Democratic Party of
Japan and other members of the opposition, who
otherwise are unable to effectively challenge the
ruling Liberal Democrats’ overwhelming majorities in the lower and upper legislatures.
During questioning in parliament, Amari said he
did not recall clearly the details of meetings in his
office with the construction company.
Shukan Bunshun said that on one occasion, a construction company employee met with Amari in his
office in November 2013, handing him an envelope
containing 500,000 yen in cash and an expensive
Japanese sweet called “yokan.”
Asked about the gift, Amari said Thursday that he
wasn’t sure what was inside the bag, but that it was
“very heavy.”
His resignation comes amid mounting signs
Japan’s economic recovery is faltering, raising
pressure on its central bank to inject still more cash
into the economy on top of its already massive
monetary stimulus.
Data released Thursday showed weak retail sales
in December. Other major monthly data are due for
release Friday.
Abe apologized over the scandal and said Amari’s
resignation was “very regrettable.” He said
Nobuteru Ishihara, a former environment minister,
would take on Amari’s posts.
Nissan to recall Altimas for third
time to fix hood latches
DETROIT (AP) — Nissan is recalling nearly 930,000 Altima
midsize cars worldwide — some for a third time — to fix a latch
problem that could let the hood fly open while the cars are moving.
The new recall covers cars from the 2013 to 2015 model years
including 846,000 in the U.S. that were made at factories in
Smyrna, Tennessee, and Canton, Mississippi.

CHS splits at Warren County
By BEN CRAVEN
HERALD-CITIZEN Sports Staff
McMINNVILLE — The Lady Cavs were able
to pull out another big district win late as they
beat the Warren County Lady Pioneers for the
second time this season 48-40, but the boys
struggled and fell 54-48 to a Warren County
team that the Cavs dominated in their last
matchup.
However, the night was not boring as both
games were pretty close the whole way.
For the Lady Cavs (14-9, 4-3 6-AAA), they
just couldn’t seem to keep the Lady Pioneers
from hanging around.
Both defenses were on point as the Lady Cavs
pulled down 30 rebounds to the Lady Pioneers’
(7-19, 0-7 6-AAA) 16 but couldn’t seem to ex-
tend their lead, flirting with an around 6-point
advantage for most of the game.
“They played the exact defense we thought
they would play,” commented CHS head coach
Mindy Odom. “I think that’s the best defense
they have. We do a lot of things together in the
summers, so we kind of know each other pretty
well. It’s one of those games where you call
something and they might know it, but you still
have to execute. We have a lot of things we
could have called that they don’t know, but I
thought they did a really good job of defending
us tonight.”
“I thought our defense was good. They got
super hot down the stretch, and we were fortunate enough to be able to finish the game.”
However, late in the fourth quarter, Warren
County made a comeback and looked like they
might be able to take over the game.
With 1:40 left in the game, Warren County’s
Marlee Smith made a layup and the foul shot to
bring the Lady Pioneers within two at 42-40.
But once again, the Lady Cavs turned on the
free throw shooting and defense late in a game.
Toiya Gwynn made two free throws, Courtney
Savage made two, and Sydney Bean made 2-of4, while the Lady Cavs defense kept the Lady
Pioneers from scoring the rest of the game.
“At two and a half minutes, I felt like we were
kind of backing into it,” Odom said. “But then,
once we settled down and started attacking the
rim again, we were fine. We went to the free
throw line and hit enough to win. We’ll take it
any way we can get it.”

Tigerettes on Friday night in Baxter.
UHS
sweeps
Macon
County
By THOMAS CORHERN
HERALD-CITIZEN Assistant Sports Editor
BAXTER — The Upperman basketball
teams picked up two big wins on Friday,
using strong defensive efforts to hold off
Macon County as the Bees and Lady Bees
continue their push into the home stretch of
the District 8-AA slate.
The Lady Bees got the evening going as
they
topped
Macon
County 77-47, then the
boys followed that up with
a 68-52 win in the nightcap.
In the girls contest, the
Lady Bees had no problem, surging out to a 25-14 lead by the time
the first quarter had ended, then took a 4824 halftime lead.
All the while, Upperman’s Gracie
Maynord was on fire. The previous time the
Lady Bees took on the Tigerettes in
Lafayette, Maynord poured in 23 points. On
Friday, Maynord matched that total to lead
UHS (22-2, 9-0 8-AA).
“Gracie shot the ball well again (Friday),”
said UHS girls head coach Dana
McWilliams. “She’s done that for us all season and she’s just an unbelievable shooter.
Her teammates do such an unbelievable job
of finding her and getting her open. She requires so much attention from the defense.”
Akira Levy also added 17 points, while
Sarah Eldridge scored 15.
Kassidy Brooks led MCHS (8-16, 1-9 8AA) with 19 points, while Kyndal Bullington scored 11.
In the boys contest, Macon County kept it
close for a little while, trailing 17-11 after
the first quarter.
But Upperman kept the Tigers scoreless
from the final minute of the opening period
to nearly the three-minute mark of the second quarter, outscoring MCHS 15-5 in the
second to take a 32-16 lead at the intermission.
The Bees added a little bit more to their advantage, outscoring Macon 23-19 in the
third quarter, but the Tigers chipped away
slightly, outscoring UHS 17-13 in the final
eight minutes.
“That was a good win for us,” said UHS
boys head coach Bobby McWilliams.

COOKEVILLE — Tennessee
Tech already believed it was one
of the best teams in the Ohio Valley Conference prior to Saturday
night’s game against Belmont.
The Golden Eagles proved that
belief was well-justified.
Tech overcame a nine-point
second-half
deficit, outscoring Belmont
34-15 over the
final 11:16 as it
knocked off the
Bruins 89-79 in
front of a rauMen’s
cous crowd of
4,428 at the Basketball
Eblen Center.
“We just got locked in,” said
Tech senior forward Ryan Martin, who had a double-double
with 18 points and 13 rebounds.
“We knew it was time to win. We
said at halftime, ‘We’re up three,
and they’re going to have a run.’
It was just about us weathering
the storm, and we did.”
The victory pulled Tech (16-7,
8-2 OVC) within a half-game of
Belmont for first place in the
OVC East division.
Coming into the matchup,
Golden Eagles head coach Steve
Payne said he wanted his team to
play loose and not worry about
the standings.
“No matter what, we were
gonna be in the mix, and we’ll be
in the mix when this thing comes
down to the end,” Payne said.
“We’re a good-enough team.
We’ve gotta keep getting better,
and you can’t get worse and you
can’t stay the same. You’ve gotta
get better every day, and that was
the key.”
Martin added, “We feel as if the

Tech women come up short
in double-overtime thriller

HERALD-CITIZEN Sports Staff
Tennessee Tech’s Yaktavia Hickson dives to save the ball from going
out of bounds during the Golden Eagles’ 80-79 loss in double-overtime to Belmont on Saturday night at the Hooper Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE — The buzzer
sounded at the end
of the second overtime with the ball
soaring toward the
basket.
The crowd held
Women’s
its breath, then let
out a collective Basketball
sigh as Samaria
Howard’s pull-up jumper missed the
target and the Tennessee Tech
Golden Eagles fell to the Belmont
Bruins 80-79.
But the game wasn’t all bad.
Sophomore Yaktavia Hickson had
the best game of her career as she
put up 23 points, shot a perfect 3-of3 from behind the arc, and shot a
perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw
line.
“Well, when I come into games,
I’m just trying to make sure I play
my hardest and play my best for my
teammates,” Hickson commented. “I
just wanted to make sure I came out
and left it all on the floor and give it
all for my team.”
And although Samaria Howard had
a rough start, she ended up with 21
points, a team-high six rebounds,
and four assists. Howard also hit a
huge three with less than a second in

Tech Homecoming scheduled for Oct. 22
TTU Sports Information
COOKEVILLE — Tennessee Tech
University’s second century begins with
the 2016 Fall semester, and one of the
grandest events on the calendar will be
the annual Homecoming festivities and
football game.
This year’s Homecoming weekend will
be Oct. 21-22, with the Golden Eagle
football team hosting Southeast Missouri on Saturday afternoon as the headline event.
The 2016 Homecoming dates were announced jointly this week by Athletics,
Alumni Relations and Student Affairs,
all of which play a large role in the festivities.
“Homecoming
on
college campuses is an
American tradition,
and Tennessee Tech
come back to
Athletics alumni
our campus every year
to make Homecoming
at Tennessee Tech a very special time,”
said Kevin Anderson, Director of
Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving. “It is time for our alumni to make
their plans to return this fall and make it
one of the best Homecoming weekends
we’ve ever hosted.”
Director of Athletics Mark Wilson said
this year’s Homecoming will include the
added luster of being a headlining game
of new head coach Marcus Satterfield’s
first season at the helm of the Golden
Eagles.
“Coach Satterfield and his staff are
working hard every day toward developing a brand of Golden Eagle football that
will be exciting to watch and rewarding
to support,” Wilson said. “We have a really good schedule of home games, and
the Homecoming game promises to be
an outstanding event.”
Tech’s student Homecoming Committee will select the actual Homecoming
MEN: Rowe topped Tech
with 26 points in victory
From Page F1
The rest of the way, we want to
take care of the job and win
every game from here on out.
Every team really wants to do
that, but we really believe that
we’re the best team in this conference.”
Torrance Rowe topped Tech
with 26 points, while Hakeem
Rogers shot 7-of-12 and added
20 points off the bench. Mason
Ramsey gave the Golden Eagles
a fourth double-digit scorer as he
chipped in 10 points and three
steals.
The Bruins (16-7, 8-1) — who
saw their nine-game winning
streak come to an end — pulled
to within 82-79 on Evan Bradds’
two-handed putback slam with
1:25 remaining. However, the
Golden Eagles ended the game
on a 7-0 run.
Tech — which improved to 120 at home — trailed 64-55 after
Kevin McClain’s driving basket
with 11:16 remaining. From
there, the Golden Eagles responded with an 11-0 run that
was capped by Rogers’ steal and
layup with 7:53 left.
“Our fans had a lot to do with
that,” Payne said. “It was a great
environment for basketball. And
our guys competed. Belmont is
so well-coached, they’ve got
such good players and they’re
such a great program that we
knew they were going to make a
run.”
The Bruins started the second
half on fire, draining five 3pointers in the first 4:05 to take
a 51-45 advantage following
Craig Bradshaw’s deep trey from
the right side.
Taylor Barnette led Belmont
with 14 points, while Nick Smith
(12), Amanze Egekeze (11) and
Bradshaw (10) also finished in
theme later this spring, but the weekend
will include all of the familiar activities,
such as the Homecoming Parade, Hall of
Fame Induction dinner, departmental
dinners and lunches, and a variety of displays and activities in the 98.5 Kiss FM
Tailgate Park.
Saturday morning will be highlighted
by the Homecoming Parade, which is
the focal point of numerous Parade
Watch Parties, plus breakfast from both
the Roaden University Center and the
Alumni Building on Dixie Avenue.
“Homecoming is always one of the
most anticipated events of the year,”
said Katie Williams, Interim Dean of
Students. “It’s an exciting and special
time for our students. They get excited
about the friendly competition among
student groups while also celebrating
the history and traditions of the university and welcoming back so many former students.”
One special added feature this year will
be the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the world-renowned Tennessee
Tech Tuba Ensemble.

Choi, Brown tied for lead at Torrey Pines
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
SAN DIEGO (AP) — K.J. Choi one-putted his last
six holes Saturday to salvage an even-par 72 and a
share of the lead with Scott Brown going into a final
round at the Farmers Insurance Open that seems to
have everyone nervous.
The biggest threat might be a forecast of high wind
and big rain, and tee times were moved up as early
as possible to try to avoid it.
Inside the ropes, the final round figured to be wide
open with 16 players separated by three shots.
Choi was headed the wrong direction until he made
a pair of birdies, saved par on three straight holes and
then hit wedge to 3 feet on the par-5 18th for one last
birdie that allowed him to join Brown at 9-under 207.
Brown, whose lone PGA Tour victory was nearly
three years ago in Puerto Rico, would not seem to
be a candidate to thrive on the South Course at Torrey Pines, the longest on the PGA Tour and a U.S.
Open site. But he managed to keep it in play, which
is key no matter how far anyone hits it. He had a 70
and goes into Sunday with a great chance to win and
earn the Augusta native his first trip to the Masters.
Jimmy Walker, already a winner on two other Cal-
ifornia courses, was the anomaly. He couldn’t seem
to keep it in play off the tee by hitting only three fairways and still managed to gouge enough shots out
of the rough and hole enough putts for a 68 that put
him one shot behind.
Gary Woodland, tied with Choi going into the third
round, birdied his last hole for a 73 to join Walker at
one shot behind.
Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler each missed the
cut, though Torrey Pines still has a local favorite to
cheer. That would be Michael Kim, the Cal grad who
went to Torrey Pines High School and grew up
watching Mickelson and Tiger Woods win here. Kim
had a 70 and was among four players at 7-under 209.
Another shot back was a group that included Dustin
Johnson, who didn’t make a birdie until the 13th hole
and still managed to limit the damage to a 74.
Choi hasn’t won since The Players Championship
in 2011, which gave him a five-year exemption that
ends this year. He was an assistant captain in the
Presidents Cup in October, and showed he still has
plenty of game. Giving him 30 yards off the tee to
Johnson and Woodland, he rarely was out of play
and dropped shots mainly on a three-putt bogey at
No. 5 and a poor chip across the green at No. 7 that
led to double bogey.

Saturday at the Hooper Eblen Center.
double figures.
Belmont led by as many as six
points in the first half before
Tech rallied. After McClain’s
deep 3-pointer from the top of
the key made it 36-34 with 2:07
left, the Golden Eagles ended the
half on a 5-0 run, with Rowe’s 3pointer making it 39-36 at the
break.
The Bruins shot 10-of-22 from
3-point range in the first half, but
went cold late in the second half
as they shot 7-of-23 from beyond the arc in the final 20 minutes.
“They shot 45 (3-pointers),
which helped us keep them off
the free-throw line,” Payne said.
“That was important for us.”
Another key was limiting Belmont big man Evan Bradds. The
junior came into the game
ranked first in the nation in
field-goal percentage (.720)
while also ranking second in the
OVC in scoring (18.7 ppg). He
finished 3-of-5 from the floor
for eight points, though he still
had a solid all-around game
with nine rebounds and five assists.
The Golden Eagles are off for a
week, returning to action on the
road Saturday at Jacksonville
State before ending a two-game
road swing at Tennessee State on
Feb. 10.

the first overtime to tie the game at 69 and force
the second overtime.
“It just happened,” Hickson added. “(Howard) is
just so aggressive, she gets to the basket, she wants
the ball in her hands, and she wants to score. I take
that after her.”
While the Golden Eagles (7-16, 3-7 OVC) were
able to force Belmont (14-7, 6-2 OVC) to turn the
ball over 18 times to Tech’s seven and score 19
points off turnovers, the Golden Eagles were
grossly outrebounded by the Bruins 62-40.
“It’s hard to beat a team when you give them 23
offensive rebounds,” commented Tech head coach
Jim Davis. “And we gave Morehead State 25 offensive rebounds. I’m ashamed to say that. That’s
never supposed to happen in a game of basketball
with a well coached team. Obviously we’re not a
well coached team.”
Despite the rebounding woes, Tech posted better
shooting percentages all around than Belmont. The
Golden Eagles shot 38 percent from the field, 46
percent from 3-point range, and 82 percent from
the free throw line, while the Bruins shot 33 percent from the field, 31 percent from behind the arc,
and 76 percent from the free throw line.
“It was a great game to watch,” Davis said. “It
didn’t turn out the way we wanted, but my hat’s
off to our young ladies. They played their hearts
out. We didn’t play good always, especially on the
defensive end. I thought we played as good an offensive game as we’ve played all year long, but
they made one more shot.”
Belmont came out to an early lead, but Tech was
able to come back and end the first quarter tied at
17.
In the second quarter, Belmont was able to build
their lead all the way back up to 10 points. However, Belmont fouled with less than a second remaining in the half, and Hannah Goolsby banked
in a three at the buzzer to cut the advantage to
seven points at 36-29.
Midway through the third quarter the Golden Eagles found themselves down ten points once again.
Tech then scored 13 straight points capped off by
a 3-pointer from Hickson to take the lead back 4946 with 47 seconds in the third. The run was ended
by two free throws from Belmont’s Sierra Jones,
and with one second left in the third, Howard stole
the inbound pass and layed it in for a 51-48 advantage.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Golden
Eagles hit a bit of a skid as Howard missed her first
four shots.
The Bruins took advantage of the opportunity as
Jones hit a three with 4:54 in the fourth to tie the
game at 53, and Darby Maggard hit knocked down
another three with 4:09 in the fourth to take the
lead at 56-53.
The lead changed hands two more times before
Hannah Goolsby reclaimed it off of two free
throws with 1:36 left in regulation at 60-59.
Belmont’s Jenny Roy made a free throw with
1:21 on the clock to tie the game at 60, and neither
team could score again before time expired.
In the first overtime, the lead switched three
times. Sally McCabe made Belmont’s two free
throws to give them the 69-66 lead with only three
seconds left. That’s when Howard came off a pick
and drained a three at the buzzer to force a second
overtime.
In the closing moments of the second overtime,
Tech looked to Howard to finish the game strong.
Howard hit a jumper with 30 seconds left to give
the Golden Eagles a slight 79-78 advantage. Maggard answered with a jumper to give Belmont the
one-point lead, and Howards last buzzer-beating
shot couldn’t find its target.
“What stands out to me is just the heart of our
young ladies, the way they fought, and the way
they never gave up,” Davis said. “I’m proud of
them for their effort. I’m proud of them for hangin
together, sticking together, and playing as a team,
but the bottom line is we didn’t achieve the objective. The season is running out. We’ve got six left.
We’re going to have to win a bunch in order to get
there.”
Up next, the Tech women travel to Jacksonville
State for another OVC matchup on Saturday.

Lady Blue Devils fend off Clarkrange in OT
By CRAIG DELK
CLARKRANGE — Jackson County
and Clarkrange added another classic
showdown to their rivalry on Friday
night.
The Lady Buffaloes forced overtime
with a wild finish as Gracie Bush buried
a pair of free throws with seven-tenths
of a second remaining, but the No. 5ranked Lady Blue Devils pulled away in
the extra session to win 46-38 at CHS.
“Knocking down big shots (was the
key),” JCHS senior point guard McKenzie Flynn said. “We had a bunch of
missed opportunities to put it away on
the free-throw line. We finally stepped
up and hit our free throws, and we took
care of the ball a little bit better.”
In the nightcap, the Buffaloes used a
big second quarter to get some separation as they won 73-57 and avenged a
loss to the Blue Devils earlier in the season.
The opener seemed as if it was headed
for a Jackson County victory in regulation, as the Lady Blue Devils led 33-30
and had two fouls to give with 10 seconds remaining.
JCHS exercised both of those, then
fouled again with 4.3 seconds remaining
to put Bush in a one-and-one situation.
She made the first but missed the second, and the Lady Blue Devils corralled
the rebound.
However, Flynn was unable to sink a
pair of charity tosses, and after a
Clarkrange rebound Bush drew a foul
with just seven-tenths of a second left.
The freshman calmly made both tosses
to send the game to overtime.
“Gracie hitting those two free throws
with seven-tenths of a second left, you
can’t pay money to get in those situations,” Clarkrange head coach Lamar
Rogers said. “That will help her
throughout her career.
“It was a typical game with us,” he
added. “Both teams had chances to win
it. They just made one or two more plays

than we did.”
Clarkrange momentarily took a lead in
the extra session when Zoie Crouch
made a pair of free throws. But Cameron
Sherrell drained a 3-pointer from the
right corner on the ensuing possession to
thwart the momentum.
On the other end, Crouch made 1-of-2
at the line to tie the game at 36-36 with
2:54 left. That proved to be the Lady
Buffaloes’ final point, as Sherrell made
1-of-2 free throws with 1:55 left, and
Kassidy Allen split the defense on a
driving layup to make it 39-36.

keep the ball away from Clarkrange’s Katelyn Beaty
(left) and Charity Crabtree (right) during the Lady
Blue Devils’ 46-38 victory in overtime on Friday at
Clarkrange.
From there, the Lady Blue Devils made
7-of-8 at the line in the final 43.2 seconds. For the game, they made 15-of-25.
Sherrell topped JCHS (16-4, 4-2 District 7-A) with 21 points, Allen added
nine points and 10 rebounds, and Flynn
chipped in nine points.
After trailing by as many as nine (2314) in the third quarter, Clarkrange
surged back in the fourth quarter on the
strength of back-to-back 3-pointers from
Crouch. Her final 3 tied the game at 2727 with 5:43 remaining.
Following a layup by Jackson County’s
Jaycie Woolbright, the hosts capped the
comeback as Hannah Garrett completed
a traditional three-point play with 2:53
left.
The Lady Buffaloes had a chance to
put it away as Charity Crabtree tipped
away a JCHS pass with 1:11 remaining,
but Sherrell stole the ball right back on
the other end of the floor. She passed to
Flynn, who took the ball coast to coast
for a fast-break layup, giving Jackson
County a 31-30 lead.
Crouch topped Clarkrange (12-10, 2-3)
with 14 points, while Bush and Garrett
added eight each.
“We’ve got some young girls who are
getting on-the-job training,” Rogers
said. “I’m really pleased with how hard
we’ve played. We’ve got seven games
left and probably need 20 to get as good
as we can get. I told them this week that
it’s all about getting better for the tournaments and getting better every game.”
In the finale, both teams were on fire in
the first quarter, combining for nine 3pointers as Clarkrange took an 18-16
lead after one.
“You district games at home are so important, and you’ve gotta take care of
your home-court advantage,” Buffaloes
head coach Rodney Pile said. “Two
weeks ago, Jackson County did a great
job of that on their home court. (Friday),
I thought we did a good job of taking
care of our home court. If we play them
again in a neutral site, it’s gonna be a
heck of a game. Hopefully we’ll be
ready to play.”
The second quarter proved to be the
difference, as the Buffaloes opened with
a 12-2 run capped by a Hunter Crouch
layup to make it 30-18. They outscored
the Blue Devils 20-8 in the frame and
took a 38-24 advantage to the break.
“We relied on the 3 way too much,”
Blue Devils head coach Gary Flynn
said. “You can live by it and die by it,
and we died by it (Friday). But you’ve
gotta give them a lot of credit because
they played well, too.”
Clarkrange eventually led by as many
as 18 in the third quarter when Ryan
Miller completed a traditional threepoint play. Jackson County cut the
deficit to as little as nine early in the
fourth quarter, but the Buffaloes pulled
away to prevent the sweep.
Crouch and Miller led the Buffaloes
(16-6, 3-2) with 23 and 21 points, respectively, while Austin Monday added
14. Coleman Linkous corralled nine rebounds to go along with his six points.
James Coe topped the Blue Devils (119, 3-3) with 16 points. Colby Brown and
Jonah Smith added 10 each.
CHS: Hosts Pickett County Tuesday
From Page F1
Bean led the Lady Cavs in scoring
with 13 points, but she was followed
closely by Megan Whitson with 12
and Toiya Gwynn with 11.
Gwynn and Whitson almost posted
double-doubles as Gwynn pulled
down nine rebounds and Whitson
snagged eight. Gwynn also managed
four assists in the game.
The win brings the Lady Cavs
within two games of the second
place White County Warriorettes
(17-3, 6-1 6-AAA).
“Well, we’d like to be higher,”
Odom commented on the Lady
Cavs’ spot in the district. “We feel
like were in a good spot. We’ve got
a big game coming up next week,
and time will tell where we’ll be in
the end on that. Every game we play,
district-wise, there’s no gimmes, so
we have got to go out there and
play.”
“Stone Memorial is really tough.
Every time they play, they get better,
because they’re so young. So that’s
a tough team that we still have to
beat. We have to go out and see what
we can do against White County.
I’m sure it will be a great game
again. They’re all pretty good teams.
If somebody comes in and has a
great night, you better have a better
one.”
In the boys matchup, a huge second quarter for the Pioneers (12-15,
3-4 6-AAA) made the Cavs (18-6,
5-2 6-AAA) the ones hanging
around this time.
“Warren County really has great
size,” CHS head coach Kevin Bray
said. “They have great experience,
and I’ve said all year long that Warren County has got a good team.
They haven’t proven that every
night, but last night was the way I’ve
expected them to play. They just
outworked us, outplayed us, outcoached us, and they flat out beat
us.”
The Cavs came out strong and built
a seven-point lead in the first, 12-5,
but that would be the biggest lead of
the night for Cookeville.
Warren County took its first advantage of the game with 2:38 left in the
first half when Holden Baker sunk a
three to make it 21-19.
Bryric Savage answered with a
layup to take the lead back for the
Cavs at 22-21, but Warren County’s
Trevor Gaines made two free
throws with 40 seconds left in the
half to take the 23-22 lead into halftime.
The third quarter went back and
fourth with many tied scores and the
lead changing several times before
Warren County made a big stand.

Cookeville’s Bryric Savage gets fouled putting up a layup in the
Cavaliers’ 54-48 loss in Warren County on Friday night.
Grayson made a big 3-pointer with
1:10 left in the third, and Chance
Hobbs sunk a pull-up jumper at the
buzzer to give WC a five point advantage going into the fourth quarter.
The Cavs caught up and tied the
game at 40 with a three from Trey
Bundrant, but the Pioneers began to
pull away once again.
It was a one-point game until
Grayson stole the ball and layed it in
with one minute remaining to give
the Pioneers a 51-48 advantage.
In the final minute, nobody could
seem to find the basket, but with 33
seconds in the game, Isaac Golden
scored his only points of the game
with two free throws that put the
dagger in the Cavaliers heart.
Savage posted yet another doubledouble as he tallied 16 points and
pulled down 13 rebounds.
Savage was helped by Jacob
Wilberscheid who scored 15 points,
Bundrant with eight, and Noah Hilliker added seven.
Also, while Ayden only scored two
points, he posted team-highs in assists with five and steals with three.
For now, the Cavs are in second
place in the district with a target on
their back.
“Of course, White County is one
and, as of right now, we’re two,”
commented Bray. “I haven’t even
looked at all the different scenarios
of what could happen as far as tie
breakers and such, but whatever the
matchups are in the post-season,
those are the games you have to win
to advance regardless of what order
you play teams. If you want to be
the best, you’ve got to beat the best
at some point. We’ve just got to
play better than we did (Friday
night).”
Up next, Cookeville has three
home games in a row starting with
Pickett County on Tuesday.

week for Bees, Lady Bees

“Macon’s a really good team and they’ve
got all the parts. They have size and athleticism, good guard play, good post play.
Our kids came out ready to play. I was really happy with their intensity. We just
have to keep repeating that. These seniors
are really starting to step up and lead us a
little bit. I’m really proud of them.”
Austyn McWilliams led Upperman
(18-4, 6-3 8-AA) with 22 points, while
Josh Endicott scored 15 points, Ben
Guffey added 14 and Austin Shrum
added 11.
Endicott and Shrum completed doubledoubles as Endicott pulled down 13 rebounds and Shrum had 10 caroms.
Seth Carlisle led MCHS (15-9, 6-4 8AA) with 22 points, while Trace McPherson added nine points.
UHS returns to action on Monday night
for the first of three doubleheaders next
week, all on the road, which almost creates a little bit of a tournament feel with
the District 8-AA tournament at Tennessee Tech’s Hooper Eblen Center just
around the corner.
Upperman travels to DeKalb County on
Monday night in a make-up contest, then
heads to Central Magnet in Murfreesboro
on Tuesday, followed by Cannon County
on Friday.
“It really is a tournament feel with three
games next week,” Bobby McWilliams
said. “We’re doing the same thing that
everybody else has done at one point or
another, but we’re really excited where
we’re going with the direction of this
team. But with a road trip with three
nights in five days, it’s going to test our
character a little bit.”
Dana McWilliams added, “We talked
about that in the locker room and we are
going to treat it like a tournament. We’re
going to have to take it one game at a time
and prepare. We can’t look ahead and turn
around and be ready. I think it will be
good for us, in a way, to get ready for
tournament time.”

Detroit rookie skates fastest
lap at NHL skills competition
By TERESA M. WALKER
AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE (AP) — Dylan Larkin is
very, very fast. That helped the only
rookie at this NHL All-Star weekend
make quite the debut.
The Detroit Red Wings forward won
not only the title of fastest skater at this
event but set the record for the fastest lap
around a full rink. He topped Mike Gartner’s time of 13.386 seconds in 1996 —
months before Larkin was born.
Larkin easily beat Predators defenseman Roman Josi on the first lap of the
first event Saturday night at the NHL
skills competition at 12.894 seconds.
That time easily stood to win the fastest
skater. He then skated a full lap in just
13.172 seconds despite a bobble in turn
three because he was going so fast.
Hometown favorite Predators captain
Shea Weber won the hardest shot at
108.3 mph.
The Eastern Conference won the skills
competition 29-12, giving John Tavares
and Jaromir Jagr the choice as captains
of which period to play their semifinal
game Sunday in the All-Star Game.
They chose the first period for the 3-on3 competition. Tavares, captain of the
Metropolitan Division, said they had to
give Jagr a chance to rest as captain of
the Atlantic Division.
“If we win, we get more rest,” Jagr
said. “If we lose, I can fly home right
away. I’m sorry Nashville. I’m honest.”
P.K. Subban won the one event —
breakaway — decided by fans voting by
Twitter, edging out Sharks defenseman
Brent Burns. Tavares of the New York
Islanders won the accuracy event in 12.2
seconds. The West won the skills challenge relay, and the East finished off the

part in the hardest shot. Traded by Arizona to Montreal on Jan. 15, and then
sent to the minors by the Canadiens,
Scott wore a black NHL All-Star jersey.
“He had a big smile on his face all
night,” Subban said of Scott.
Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, the
NHL’s leading scorer at the break, was
booed heavily at every chance. He
helped Chicago oust the Nashville Predators in the first round of the playoffs
last spring.
Larkin kicked the night off in record
fashion. The rookie might have been
even faster, but he said he dug in too
hard and skated too fast, causing him
trouble with his footing in the turn.
Asked about topping Gartner’s mark,
Larkin had a quick question in response:
“Was I born?”
No. Larkin was born in July 1996,
months after Gartner set his mark at the
age of 36.
“Yeah, I did find that out later,” Larkin
said. “It’s crazy.”
Fans hoping to see Weber set the hardest shot record on home ice chanted for
“One more shot” after Weber hit 108.3
mph on his second, just missing Zdeno
Chara’s record of 108.8 mph in 2012.
Weber hit just 107.8 mph on the third
try, finishing shy of his winning shot last
year at 108.5 mph.
The event that brought out the All-Stars
creativity was the breakaway challenge.
Matt Duchene of Colorado donned a
cowboy hat, and Brandon Saad of
Columbus bounced the puck off his
stick. Subban failed to score after bouncing the puck off his stick and then kicking it off his right foot. Predators
forward James Neal used two pucks in a
bit of deception, and then brought out
country singer Dierks Bentley, who
scored on a two-on-one.
Burns had help from two children, his
son and teammate Joe Pavelski’s son,
with Florida goalie Roberto Luongo arguing with Cory Schneider of the Devils
for the right to guard the net. Pavelski’s
son passed to Burns’ son, who scored
into an open net as the goalies’ fight
spilled over to the side.
On his second attempt, Burns had the
arena lights turned down. Photos of
him growing hairier over the years
flashed on the video board to the “Star
Wars” theme, and Burns was wearing a
Chewbacca mask for his nickname
when the lights came back up. It just
wasn’t enough hair to top Subban’s
final try.
Subban won by donning a long mullet
wig in a nod to the 44-year-old Jagr,
wearing referee’s pants with Jagr laughing as the Montreal defenseman scored
only as Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne
lifted his left leg sprawled in front of the
net. Subban said he decided on his Jagr
tribute at the arena and credited trainers
for finding the wig, then adding highlights with spray paint.
He didn’t tip Jagr beforehand.
“I wanted it to be a surprise,” Subban
said. “It’s a tribute to the great player
that he is.”
Jagr was fine with the funny tribute and
has a job waiting with the traveling Jagrs
when Subban retires.
“He can be the tenth one ... with the
Montreal jersey,” Jagr said.

Wayne Selden Jr. scored a careerhigh 33 points, seven in overtime, and Kansas beat Kentucky
in the premier showdown of the
Big 12/SEC Challenge.
Frank Mason III added 13
points and eight rebounds for the
Jayhawks (17-4), who snapped a
three-game losing streak to the
Wildcats (16-5) by winning their
35th straight game at Allen Fieldhouse.
It wasn’t easy.
The Wildcats built an eight-point
lead midway through the second
half before Kansas switched to a
zone defense and mounted a
comeback. Perry Ellis made the
second of two free throws to tie
the game 76-all with 9 seconds
left, and Tyler Ulis coughed up the
ball at the other end before Kentucky got off a shot.
In fact, the turnover gave
Mason a chance for a half-court

against the Mountaineers (17-4).
Finney-Smith made 7-of-12
shots, including 5 of 7 from 3point range, and the Gators never
trailed after his first 3 off the
opening tip. His last one with
1:02 to play — as fans chanted
“S-E-C” and “overrated” — led

Michael Bennett does it all at Pro Bowl practice
By KALANI TAKASE
Associated Press
KAHUKU, Hawaii (AP) — Michael Bennett did his best imitation of Deion Sanders
on Friday.
Bennett, a Seattle Seahawks defense end and
member of Team Rice for Sunday’s Pro Bowl,
did a little bit of everything at Friday’s 45minute practice session on Oahu’s north
shore.
In addition to his duties on the defensive
line, Bennett lined up at wide receiver for one
play during the 7-on-7 portion of practice. He
caught a short pass from Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston in front of Atlanta cornerback Desmond Trufant.
Bennett later lined up next to Philadelphia’s
Darren Sproles as dual punt returners during
special teams drills and was the recipient of
a reverse from the latter on one return.
“I got to play a little on offense and defense,
special teams, so I feel like Deion today. I feel
like a real weapon,” said Bennett, who will be
playing in his first Pro Bowl on Sunday.

Manning won’t share
retirement plans
By ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) —
What’s whispered into Bill Belichick’s ear stays in Bill Belichick’s ear.
Peyton Manning may have told
him, “This might be my last
rodeo,” but he’s not telling anyone
else anything about his thoughts
on retirement.
NFL Network cameras caught an
intriguing exchange between Denver’s quarterback and New England’s coach after Denver’s 20-18
win over the Patriots in the AFC
championship game on Sunday.
Manning didn’t want to talk
about the eavesdropped exchange
on Thursday, however.
He joked, “I don’t know if it’s
been confirmed or not, you know?
What happened to private conversations on the 50-yard line? I guess
they just don’t exist anymore. So,
no confirmation on that whatsoever. ... We’re on to Carolina.”
The Broncos (14-4) face the Panthers (17-1) in Super Bowl 50 on
Feb. 7.
What Manning said to Belichick
is apparently more than he’s told
his own coach regarding his
thoughts on retirement as this 18th
and very trying season comes to a
conclusion.
“He hasn’t said anything to me,”
Gary Kubiak said. “I know he’s
enjoying the playoffs and enjoying
this opportunity with this football
team. I can’t speak for him. He’ll
have to answer those questions.
But I know it’s special to have him
back in the huddle leading the way
and I’m just very proud of his
work getting back to be in this position.”
Manning’s favorite target, receiver Demaryius Thomas, said
Manning hasn’t said anything to

his teammates, either.
“Not at all. We’re assuming,”
Thomas said. “You never know
with him. He hasn’t said anything,
so I really don’t know what he’s
going to do.”
Manning, who regained his starting job this month after missing
the Broncos’ final seven starts
while dealing with a torn plantar
fascia near his left heel, was so
loose Thursday that his news conference at times resembled a
stand-up routine at a comedy club.
Asked about the Panthers’
propensity for fast starts and the
need to keep up with Carolina,
Manning said: “As you watch the
game unfold, you see the scoreboard and it’s 7-0, it’s 14-0, it’s
like the guy singing the national
anthem is still on the field, you
know, the game hasn’t started
yet.”
At one point, Manning was asked
for his recollections of Panthers
owner Jerry Richardson in the
league’s labor negotiations, and
Manning said he didn’t have a
good answer for the reporter although, “labor negotiations are
pretty boring if I can recall.
There’s one word for you.”
Another question was about the
four consecutive years a dualthreat QB has played in the Super
Bowl and the 50-year streak of a
pocket passer playing in the big
game.
“That is 100 percent for you guys
to decide,” Manning said when
asked if there were indeed two different types of QBs now. “... I
guess the only thing I’ll say is it
seems like every year they say the
pocket passer is a dying breed. I
kept saying, ‘I hope that’s not true.
I will be out of a job and my
brother will be pretty close behind
me.’ “
Kubiak said he’ll lean on his
leaders next week in San Francisco to make sure the team stays
focused on football. Asked what
his role was in that plan, Manning
said, “Set the curfew, basically.”
“I threw out 9,” he said. “That
didn’t get a lot of positive views.”
it humbles you to be in a situation like this,”
the third-year pro said.
“Obviously, thanks to the Chiefs organization, the Hunt family and everybody that has
made this thing work with John Dorsey and
Coach Reid and all of the coaching staff. For
them to put this much trust in me makes me
more motivated than ever to keep performing.”
NFL NORTH RIVALS TEAM UP
Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn has
an unusual teammate this week: Adrian Peterson of the rival Minnesota Vikings.
“Every time you come out to one of these
things it’s just great (because) you battle
against these guys all year long, everybody is
playmaker, everybody is the guys that you
prepare for when you play against them and
now they’re all on your team and it’s just
great to have all these great players in one
spot,” said Kuhn, who gave some insight into
a conversation he had with Peterson prior to
Thursday’s first practice.
“I know he has one speed, so I already told
him, ‘I am getting out of your way. I’m going
to let you be the man.’ He’s a great back, a
great talent and I’m excited to be in front of
him.”
GIVING BACK
One of the biggest thrills for Minnesota
Vikings safety Harrison Smith was getting to
spend some time with a young fan wearing
his jersey from the Make A Wish Foundation
after Friday’s Team Rice practice.
“It’s awesome,” said the fourth-year pro.
“This is what this game is about, is coming
out here and kind of giving back to the fans
and having this many kids from the Make A
Wish Foundation come out here and one of
them is even wearing your jersey, it’s humbling and it’s great to be able to put a smile
on their face.”
ALOHA SPIRIT
Winston, the top overall pick in last year’s
draft, has clearly adjusted to island life. The
Tampa Bay quarterback and first-time Pro
Bowler wore a flower lei around his neck during Team Irvin’s morning practice session.
“It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m taking
everything in,” Winston said. “It’s a blessing
to be out there, so I’m just trying to have some
fun. Hawaii is a beautiful place.”
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Team Rice cornerback Dominique RodgersCromartie on playing against his New York
Giants’ teammates quarterback Eli Manning,
wide receiver Odell Beckham and kicker Josh
Brown, all of whom are on Team Irvin.

frustrate Odell and I want to block one of
Josh’s kicks.”
Broken arm? Thomas Davis has had worse
By STEVE REED
AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Thomas Davis knows all about
pain and toughness.
So excuse the Panthers All-Pro
linebacker if he snickers at the notion that 12 screws and a plate in
his broken right forearm is about
to keep him from the biggest game
of his career.
“I’m still looking forward to
playing on Super Bowl Sunday,”
he says with a wide, knowing grin.
Davis has overcome too much,
and at 32 come too far to even
think about missing this one.
He is the first known NFL player
to battle back and play after tearing
the same ACL three times. It’s
even more remarkable considering
he has returned to play at an AllPro level after his third surgery in
2011.
Now, in a cruel piece of irony, the
man who has waited 11 seasons to
play in a Super Bowl breaks his
arm in the NFC championship
game, giving him only two weeks
to recover. The injury came in the
second quarter of a 49-15 victory
over the Arizona Cardinals.
“I was devastated for him at the
time,” Carolina defensive tackle
Dwan Edwards. “The guy has
been through a lot and is the heart
and soul of our team. He’s our
emotional leader, our playmaker
on the field.”
Given what Davis has been
through, teammates aren’t surprised that he intends to face the
Denver Broncos on Feb. 7 in Santa
Clara, California.
“Knowing Thomas, he is used to
overcoming obstacles,” safety Tre
Boston said. “Hey, give me 12
screws and a plate in my arm and
I’m not playing for a month. But
nothing can hold back that guy.”
“I’m no doubting Thomas,”
cracked coach Ron Rivera.
Davis’ three knee injuries cut
short his seasons in 2009, 2010
Mike McCarn, File | AP
Carolina Panthers’ Thomas Davis warms up before the
NFC Championship game against the Arizona Cardinals
in Charlotte, N.C.
and 2011. Still, he is as fast as ever
and seems to be getting better each
season. He turned in perhaps his
best season in 2015, with 105 tackles and career highs in sacks (5.5),
forced fumbles (four) and interceptions (four).
And while he was going through
hundreds upon hundreds of grueling leg raises, squats and stretches
to rebuild his knee, Davis at times
did contemplate retirement. But,
mostly, those were fleeting
thoughts. In the back of his mind
was the Super Bowl.
“I never really look at it from a
personal standpoint,” he said. “It’s
great for this team to be in this position. We’ve worked so hard all
season long to accomplish this
goal and put ourselves in this position to possibly win the Super
Bowl, so it’s great to be in this position as a football team and I’m
just happy to be a part of it.”
Such an attitude epitomizes
Davis. To a man, teammates talk
about the time, pain and sweat it
took for him to come back from a
severe knee injury. Not once, not
twice, but three times. They say
it’s difficult for the average fan to
comprehend.
Broncos Pro Bowl linebacker
Von Miller knows something
about this — he had ACL surgery
in 2014.
“I only got one (and) it was hard
to come back,” Miller said. “So
with (three) I can’t even imagine
all the hard work that goes into
him getting back on the field. So I
think that speaks volumes to the
type of person that he is. ... He’s
going to be there. If he has a little
bit of energy, he’s going to be there
ready to play.”
Davis won last year’s Walter
Payton Man of the Year award for
his community work. A first-round
draft pick from Georgia, he has
played all 11 seasons in Carolina,
sticking with the Panthers through
good times and bad. He’s become
a local sports legend by overcoming the longest odds. It has the
makings of a Hollywood movie.
Now, says teammate Luke
Kuechly, all that’s missing is the
ending.
“We’re doing everything we can
to get him a (Super Bowl) ring,”
Kuechly said. “I think that would
be awesome. He deserves it.”
Luke and Von: the linebackers who make a difference
By BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
Luke and Von.
Sounds like a beach band from the Sixties,
or maybe offshoots of the “Dukes of Hazzard.”
In reality, Luke Kuechly and Von Miller are exactly what successful teams need in the NFL.
The All-Pro linebackers are versatile, fierce
competitors, leaders and playmakers.
They will be watching in the Super Bowl as
much as Peyton Manning and Cam Newton.
Miller, the second overall draft pick in 2011,
won Defensive Rookie of the Year that season.
Kuechly, chosen ninth overall the next year,
succeeded Miller for that honor.
And in 2013, Kuechly was the league’s top defensive player, an award both he and Miller are
contenders for this season.
More important than that individual recognition, each will tell you, are the team marks
posted by Kuechly’s Panthers and Miller’s Broncos during their short but already memorable careers: Carolina has won three straight NFC
South titles, and Denver has taken the AFC West
in all five of Miller’s pro seasons.
“I’m a fan of him,” Newton says of Miller.
“Trying to find any and every way to alleviate
him being a pain, but that’s what this week of
preparation will be.”
Better prepare diligently for Miller, or else that
pain will be felt by just about everyone on the
Panthers’ offense.
Consider the damage Miller wrought last Sunday in the AFC championship game. He had 2½
sacks, an interception, constant pressure on Tom
Brady, and was a force against New England’s
meager running game.
Yes, Miller was everywhere, and it wouldn’t be
unfair to single him out as the biggest reason the
Broncos are in their second Super Bowl in three
years.
His skills are such that defensive coordinator
Wade Phillips is comfortable turning Miller
loose on the pass rush, dropping him in coverage
— especially to cover tight ends — and lining
him up almost anywhere on the field.
Phillips has called Miller the defense’s “catalyst.”
“He has great explosion,” Phillips said. “He’s
tremendously quick off the ball. He’s probably
the quickest in the league. That helps him first.
... He has that tremendous speed, but it’s explosive speed. Some guys can run fast, but it’s kind
of straight-line speed.
“He’s very athletic, can change directions and
accelerate really quickly. Great running backs
have the same thing. They have that acceleration
that they (use to) get through the hole.
“He’s the same way as a pass rusher or a defensive player. He’s there, they think that they can
block him and then he gets by them. He defeats
his guy most of the time and most every play.
That’s hard to do in this league.”
Kuechly isn’t as fast and might not be as strong
as Miller. He isn’t as dangerous on the pass rush
with seven career sacks in the regular season;
Miller had 11 in 2015.
He also plays inside, while Miller is an outside
linebacker.
None of which matters in big spots. Kuechly
makes plays in the middle of the field or near the
sideline. He finds the ball — or, as Panthers cornerback and fellow All-Pro Josh Norman has
said, “the ball finds Luke.”
And when the football is in his grasp, it’s a
good idea to look for him in the end zone.
Kuechly has had a pick-six in each of Carolina’s
playoff games this season. He excels at baiting
quarterbacks into ill-advised throws, though
doing so against Manning is difficult.
Kuechly already has a catchy nickname: “Captain America”. Miller eschews that kind of
recognition.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera, a former NFL linebacker himself, sees a victory next weekend as
just another step for his star defender. His comments also could just as easily apply to Miller.
“There are a lot of great players who never got
to play in a Super Bowl, so whether you have to
have that Super Bowl to cement who you are or
what you’re worth,” Rivera said.
“I don’t think Luke is really worried about that.
But I think it just kind of fast-tracks you and people take a lot quicker notice. At the end of the
day you can say on your business card ‘Super
Bowl champion.’ I mean that’s probably the next
thing.
