Baxter to offer free smoke
detectors and installation
By MEGAN TROTTER
BAXTER — According to the State Fire
Marshal’s Office, Tennessee ranks in the
top 10 states in fire mortality.
In hopes of saving more lives, the Baxter
Fire Department is participating in “Get
Alarmed, Tennessee!” on Saturday, Jan.
23.
“On that day, we will be one of eight different departments throughout the state
that have been challenged to install 100
smoke alarms in recognition of the 100th
anniversary of the State Fire Marshal’s
Office,” Baxter Chief Matt White said.
“Get Alarmed, Tennessee!” has been in
existence since 2012.
“The program has saved over 100 lives
and we want to help save any more,”
White added.
Baxter firefighters will begin installing
free smoke detectors for Baxter residents
at 9 a.m. on Jan. 23.
Anyone interested in being on the list to
receive a smoke alarm installation can call
931-858-2621 to be added to the list.
UPPER CUMBERLAND —
The lack of enough people present for a quorum frustrated members of the Upper Cumberland
Veterans Cemetery Committee
on Friday, when the group was
scheduled to have its January
meeting in the conference room
of the Upper Cumberland Human
Resource Agency.
Only six voting members were
present, and the group requires
seven for a quorum to officially
vote and conduct business.
Frustration was again expressed
that three for the 14 Upper Cumberland counties — DeKalb,
Overton and Pickett — weren’t
represented on the committee at
all.
The group has strived for a voting member and an alternate
from each of the 14 counties in
the Upper Cumberland region,
following its establishment in
2013 to bring a veterans cemetery within 75 miles of all the
counties in the region.
The committee has been looking for approximately 70-100
acres on which to build a cemetery.
Tennessee has four veterans
cemeteries, including one in
Nashville, two in Knoxville and
one in Memphis.
Although the committee was
unable to vote on any specific action, treasurer Mark Pfaffenroth
of Cumberland County reported
that more than $39,000 was deposited to the group’s fundraising
account in 2015, making the account total more than $53,000.

Upcoming prom spotlights guests with special needs
By MEGAN TROTTER
COOKEVILLE — For most
of the guests at last year’s very
first Night to Shine Prom, it was
the first time they’d ever been to
a prom, or any formal dance for
that matter — even though
some of the attendees were in
their 70s.
It was an event catered especially to those with special
needs. Everyone had such a fantastic time, the event is being
held again this year. The prom,
sponsored by the Tim Tebow
Foundation, will be held at 6
p.m. Friday, Feb. 12, at Life
Church in Cookeville.
“It’s going to be pretty amazing,” said Jeff Davidson,
founder and president of Rising
Above Ministries, which is coordinating the local event.
Guests will be getting the full
red-carpet treatment. From hair
and makeup help to limo rides
and “paparazzi,” each participant will be made to feel like
they are the most important person of the evening. There will
be dancing and heavy finger
foods, horse and carriage rides,
karaoke, a photo booth, a
chocolate fountain and punch
fountain, and much more.
Parents and guardians of the
guests will get to have a good
time as well. There’s a separate
room just for them to be pampered.
“Each guest is paired up with
a peer buddy,” April Phillips,
Rising Above vice president of
operations, said. “Parents have
a separate room that they can go
relax in and have some food and
just chill out. Their child or
adult is partnered with a peer

Formalized training will help maintain standards, DA says
By TRACEY HACKETT
COOKEVILLE — Tennessee is one of
the first states in the country to formalize
training for its 31 district attorneys, and
those efforts will help maintain high prosecutional standards, says 13th Judicial District Attorney General Bryant C. Dunaway.
“Maintaining high prosecutional standards is a priority for Tennessee’s district
attorneys. We will continue working
closely with the Tennessee Public Safety
Coalition, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and local law enforcement to offer
common-sense improvements to the criminal justice system,” Dunaway said.
The DVD-based training series was created by the Justice and Professionalism
Committee of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference, which has received awards for those efforts and been
invited to share its work on the project
with other prosecutors from around the
country at the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington, D.C.
That committee has recently released the
second installment in its ongoing series of
training materials for Tennessee prosecutors.
This latest DVD training tool deals with
the discovery and inspection of evidence
under the Tennessee rules of criminal procedure, Dunaway said.
“Prosecutors have a duty to disclose specific information and evidence to a criminal defendant. This is a responsibility that
we take very seriously,” he said.
“It is vital that prosecutors maintain our
knowledge on this topic in order to promote fundamental fairness and due process
of law in criminal prosecutions,” Dunaway
continued.
The TNDAGC’s Justice and Professionalism Committee was created in 2013 to
identify best practices and training opportunities for legal and ethical compliance of
Tennessee’s district attorneys, assistant
district attorneys and their staff members.
Many prosecutors from across the state
have contributed their time, experience,
expertise and dedication to the committee
and its efforts.
It is the committee’s mission to continue
to take the lead in improving the criminal
justice system and protecting public safety
in Tennessee.

night. So nobody comes alone,
and you don’t have to worry
about your mom being at your
prom,” she chuckled.
Last year only 40 events were
held across the United States. Because of the success of the
events, the Tim Tebow Foundation is now sponsoring 190 this
year. The event in Cookeville
now has exclusive geographic
rights to be the only host of the
event within an hour’s driving
time of Cookeville.
“The only reason we were able
to get this event in a smaller geographic area like Cookeville is
because we told the Foundation
about the way this community
comes together to serve the special needs community,” Davidson said. “We’ll be drawing
volunteers from so many
churches, businesses and organizations who are all coming together to pull this off. That’s
what makes Cookeville so
unique. It has just embraced the
special needs community.”
If it is anything like last year’s
event, this year’s Night to Shine
Prom will be a very special
event, not just for those attending
the prom, but for their families as
well. The Davidsons’ son, Jon
Alex, attended the first prom last
year.
“With a typical prom at the high
school, his class would probably
go, but with his sensory needs, he
would not be able to participate,”
said Becky Davidson, Tim’s wife
and Jon Alex’s mother. “But
since this prom is designed for
those with special needs, he is
able to go. To see him in his tux,
to see him dressed up and to be
able to participate in that when he
would never have that opportunity because of his special needs
— it was a beautiful experience
to witness, as his mom.”
There is no charge to attend the
event, but guests will need to register at http://risingaboveministries.org/event/night-shine/.
Or those without internet access
can call the office at 931-5267473 to register. The event is
open to those with special needs
who are 16 and older, and they
can come from anywhere in the

Upper Cumberland.
There are also still plenty of
ways to help coordinators make
sure this event is a special one for
the guests. Volunteer slots are
open for jobs from everything
from site setup/cleanup to hairdressers to helping out in the parents hospitality room. Volunteers
can

invited to donate gifts or coupons
for the goodie bags, gift cards to
help purchase items for the event,
or gently used men’s wear and
ladies plus-size clothing.
“This is a great opportunity for
the community to get involved
and learn what Rising Above
does and to impact the lives of
some amazing people,” Phillips
said.
“And, the people who serve and
volunteer at the event get even
more out of it than the people we
bless,” added Jeff Davidson.

role of codes enforcement officer.
“When you don’t have enforcement, people have a tendency to just do as they
please,” Wiggins said.
Occasionally, the town will
call on its police officers to
handle a matter, but that’s not
always the best solution.
“They do have the authority
to enforce the codes, but of
course that’s not their primary
responsibility,” Wiggins said.
“Also, codes enforcement people carry credentials, and not
every policeman has those credentials. In fact, most of them
don’t.”
It’s something that’s been on
the minds of planning commission members for some
time, even before Wiggins was
elected mayor, based on the
state of various structures
around town — structures that
are unsightly as well as dangerous.
“It’s discussed in about every
meeting of the planning commission — I get asked, ‘When
are we going to get codes enforcement?’” Wiggins said.
He noted that once the position is filled, the person could
potentially go to work immediately on the issues.
“We have an apartment complex that burned,” Wiggins
pointed out. “It poses a hazard
because kids play around it.
Plus, it’s unsightly and does
very little to increase property
values. Also, we have a commercial building in downtown
Monterey where the roof has
just collapsed… and we have
people building adjacent to
property lines without observing setbacks. I could go on and
on.”
Wiggins anticipates the contracted codes enforcement officer working two to three
days per week. Should the personnel committee, which is
chaired by alderwoman Rebecca Iaquinta, complete its
selection process in time, the
matter could go before the full
board of mayor and aldermen
as early as the February meeting.
“We just want to bring our
community into compliance
with the codes that have been
on the books these many
years,” Wiggins said.
Which could benefit Monterey in numerous ways, he
stressed.
“We really want investment
in our town. If we just have
this attitude ‘we can do what
we want,’ people will likely
think twice about investing in
a business or residential property here, not knowing what
might happen right next to
them that could diminish their
property values.”

Board mulls new offer
for Highlands property
By LAURA MILITANA
COOKEVILLE — The sale of
approximately 14 acres at the
corner of Willow and Jackson
continues with a new offer
being considered by the Highlands Residential Services
board of directors, which met
in a special-called meeting
Thursday to discuss the newest
offer on its property.
“Neil Patel, who owns the
Clarion Inn here in Cookeville,
recently sold a hotel in another
market,” Waddell Wright, real
estate broker out of Nashville,
said.
“He has made a very low offer
on the property, but recently, he
verbally made an offer of $4
million.”
However, that offer includes
the office building and keeping
the 51 units that have long been
vacated by HRS.
“I recommend we take this
(office) building out of the
equation and remove the
units,” Wright said.
Wright also suggested a
counter-offer in the amount of
$3.6 million — the same offer
the board agreed to in their
contract with Hutton Company
out of Chattanooga last year.
That would come to $357,000
an acre.
The move to sell the property
began in September 2014 when
it was officially marketed
across the country. In their proposal, Hutton had a defined
plan that included a 42,000
square foot grocery building,
12 fuel stations and outparcels.
That contract fell through in
October and the property was
put on the market again.
“There’s a lot of interest out
there, but Mr. Patel has the
only formal offer,” Wright said.
The property is zoned CR, regional commercial, which allows for retail and other
commercial establishments,
such as shopping centers/malls,
department stores, office buildings/office parks and restaurants, banks and similar
financial institutions, hotels
and motels, funeral homes and
dry cleaners, among other
things.

Powerball winners: No
big changes to lives
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
small-town Tennessee couple
that bought one of three magic
tickets splitting the world-record
$1.6 billion Powerball jackpot
says they don’t plan to quit their
jobs or buy a new house.
Their daughter, however, wants
a horse.
After appearing on national television, John Robinson and wife
Lisa went to the Tennessee lottery headquarters in Nashville on
Friday to have their winning
ticket verified by lottery officials.
The couple’s lump sum payout is
about $327 million after buying
the ticket for Wednesday night’s
drawing at a grocery store in their
west Tennessee hometown of
Munford, population 6,000. Two
other winning tickets were
bought in California and Florida.
At a news conference Friday,
the Robinsons said they won’t
stop working and won’t make
any wild purchases. They’ll pay
off their mortgage and their
daughter’s student loans, but
have no desire to move from
their gray, one-story house in a
close-knit community into a luxurious compound somewhere.
Lisa works at a dermatologist’s
office. John is a warehouse supervisor. Both plan to return to
work Monday, they said. Friends
and neighbors say the Robinsons
are a hard-working, responsible
family with the ability to humbly
deal with their new fortune.
“That’s what we’ve done all our
lives, is work,” John Robinson
said. “You just can’t sit down and
lay down and not do nothing anymore. Because how long are you
going to last? We do want to
enjoy a little bit of our earnings,
and maybe invest a little bit of it
so our son and daughter will have
it and they’ll never need anything
again.”
No one has produced the other
winning tickets, which overcame
odds of 1 in 292.2 million to land
on all six numbers at a Publix supermarket in Melbourne Beach,
Florida, and a 7-Eleven in Chino
Hills, California.
In California, any winnings not
claimed within a year automatically go to the state’s schools.
Florida gives winners six months
to come forward before transferring 80 percent of unclaimed
prizes to an educational trust
fund, and 20 percent into a pool
for future lottery prizes.

it more valuable?” board member David Hill asked.
Yes, Wright said.
“There’s less worry with environmental issues and liability,”
Dow Harris, director of HRS,
said.
The units currently on the
property are around 55 years
old and have been extensively
remodeled over the years.
The sale of this land is not
holding up the development of
the new property that HRS
bought and closed on in September.
Demolition of the units on the
14 acres is anticipated to begin
in early spring.
“I think once those buildings
are removed, the property will
look better,” Harris said. “It
may market better as well.”
The counter-offer of $3.6 million, along with demolishing
the buildings and keeping the
office building, was approved.

What would
Tarzan say?
W
hen I was five, I rode an
elephant, just like
Tarzan. Well, except the
Lord of the Jungle’s legs probably
stretched wider and he didn’t feel
like he was a gnat straddling an aircraft carrier. It
swaaaaayed
an impossibly
long way
from left to
right. Its back
was warm and
bristly. You
could feel its
rumbles vibrate all
through you. I
Bob
was so awed I
McMillan
couldn’t even
squawk a respectable Tarzan yell.
We were in a grocery store parking lot in Decatur, Ala. A big truck
hauled the elephant there, probably
one stop in hundreds across the
South. You don’t see that anymore.
In fact, after April, you won’t be
able to see any elephants in Ringling Brothers circuses. The corporation that owns the circus is
retiring all its elephants because
they’ve become a PR nightmare.
Turns out that keeping pachyderms
in chains, making them bleed with
metal spears and forcing them to
do tricks isn’t actually a healthy
thing. And suffering hurts the bottom line for a family entertainment
conglomerate.
Facts freed the elephants. There’ll
be some who’ll bluster and carp
that those animal rights people
have stuck their noses in again and
robbed kids of the chance to see
one of the world’s biggest mammals balance on a ball or juggle
bowling pins. And sure, activists
led the charge for decades, but
what ended performances by circus
elephants was that enough facts got
out and trickled down to create a
widespread public outcry. There
are plenty of facts about elephants
out there these days. Science has
learned a lot since the 17th century
when Rene Descartes, a philosopher, declared that man was a reflection of God but animals are
dumb brutes who eat without
pleasure, cry without pain and
know nothing.
One of the things we’ve learned is
that many animals from rats to parrots to Humpback whales have
brains structured surprisingly like
our own. Elephants, for example,
have a huge hippocampus, which is
the seat of memory in mammalian
brains. Elephants have long memories, sure, but it’s a part of the brain
that also affects learning and how
it’s used. In humans, the hippocampus can be physically affected by
experiences like trauma and suffering. It shrinks and warps. It can
show signs of post traumatic stress.
And so it is in elephants, too.
There was a video making the
rounds on the Internet a while back
of a baby elephant crying inconsolably for five hours on a game
reserve in China after the threemonth-old calf’s mother rejected
him and tried to stomp him to
death. It’s shocking because the
natural bond between a mother elephant and her cub is so intense that
it can last 50 years or more. But
captive mother elephants sometimes kill their young. Stress and
confusion are the suspected culprits.
In the wild, groups of about 15 females and their babies live under
the guidance of an older matriarch.
Elephants, like humans, are not
born with keen parenting skills.
They learn them from aunts and
sisters. Unless they're in captivity.
Then, when it comes to birth and
rearing, they're on their own. Some
experts have speculated that the
pain of birthing and the stress of
captivity drove baby Zhuangzhuang's mother temporarily mad.
Life can be traumatic for elephants in the wild, too. Africa has
been wracked by wars and widespread poaching. Herds have been
decimated. Elephants who’ve seen
their parents and elders slaughtered
are left to form groups of survivors
without the wisdom and retraint of
their matriarchs and old aunts.
After generations of living side by
side, villagers in recent years have
come under a series of shocking attacks from elephants. Peaceful coexistentence with man has nearly
wiped out the elephants. Now the
tortured survivors are lashing out.
In captivity, madness and violence between elephant and man
has a long history. A circus elephant named Mary was hung by a
crane in Erwin, Tennessee in 1916
after she drowned a janitor who
gouged her behind the ear with a
metal hook. A crowd of 2,500
turned out to watch the execution.
The chain snapped and Mary was
left writhing on the ground with a
broken hip until a circus worker attached a stronger cable and they

Tennessee today is home to the
Elephant Sanctuary, a 2,700-acre
rehab and retirement facility near
Hohenwald. It’s an asylum for
emotionally and psychologically
disturbed former zoo and circus
elephants. There and at a handful
of other sites around the world,
caregivers who understand the psyche of pachyderms are using two
mainstays of human trauma therapy to heal damaged elephant
minds: safety and freedom of
choice. Because our minds are so
similar...
We tell ourselves that man is better than the animals because we’re
smarter and have an inborn sense
of right and wrong. Wouldn’t now
be a good time to start using it?

Needed: Songs that age with the listener
T
he obituaries for rock star
David Bowie waxed eloquent
over his ability to change,
evolve, reinvent and metamorphosize.
Sadly, the SONGS of our youth don’t
change as we progress through life;
they possess a certain nostalgic
charm, but they fail to remain relevant.
True, someone will occasionally
record a cover version with a different
tempo, but the lyrics remain preserved
in amber, no matter how much sadder
but wiser we become. (As The Four
Tops might declare, “It’s The Same
Old Song.”)
Is anyone up to the task of updating
our rich musical heritage to reflect the
aging process and harsh realities of
life?
(Granted, some songs don’t even
need the title tweaked. For instance,
that paean to senior moments, “I Still
Haven’t Found What I’m Looking
For.”)
Yeah, songs about broken hearts always sell, but can’t we have some
songs bold enough to deal with other
health issues? You know, like
“Mama’s Got A Pillbox” (with apologies to The Who) — or a reworking of
songs by The Animals, especially
“Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood — Help Me Put My Dentures
Back In.” Both of those would go well
on a CD with “Papa’s Got A Brand
New Hip” or “If I Had A Rotator Cuff,
I’d Hammer Out A Warning.”
Maybe Bob Dylan could be per-
suaded to record
“The Moles, They
Are A-Changin’.”
That would complement “You
Can’t Always Pass
What You Eat”
and “Talkin’
About My Defibrillation.” And
who wouldn’t love
the Muddy Waters
Danny
knockoff “Got My
Tyree
Mojo Signed Up
For Disability”?
Don’t get me started on obesity and
lack of exercise. You’ll have to hear
“The Tracks of My Man-Boobs” to
believe it.
Economic issues would provide lots
of material for revamped songs, including that classic instrumental “The
William Tell Overdraft.” Then there’s
“Every Deduction You Take (I’ll Be
Watching You)” and “Whole Lotta
Auditin’ Goin’ On.” Fans of The
Supremes would surely rave over
“Baby, Baby, Where Did Our Middle
Class Status Go?”
Family dynamics are another rich
area for song upgrades. For instance,
“Baby, You Can Drive My Car — Because Obviously You’re Never Going
To Trust Me With My Keys Again.” A
group capable of mimicking the harmonies of the Bee Gees could have a
million-seller with “I’ve Got To Get
An Alimony Payment To You.” And
let’s not forget “Gimme Shelter —
From Grown Children Seeking Shelter
Six Months After Finally Moving
Out.”
Other socio-political aspects of 2016
culture would make great songs, such
as “People (i.e. Multinational Corporations) Get Ready,” “The Long And
Winding Line At The VA” and the defiant anthem that shouts, “Compound
interest! Huh!! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!”
Nineteenth century updates such as
“Jimmy Crack GMO Corn And I DO
Care” could share “Billboard” chart
space with the Allman Brothers tribute
“I Feel Like I’ve Been Tied To The
Selfie Stick, Tied To The Selfie
Stick...”
James Brown is no longer with us,
but surely some enterprising impersonator could cash in with “I Got Your
Identity (I Feel Good).”
Pandora and Spotify would really
clean up streaming that soulful
“Showboat” tune “Old Man-TrappedIn-A-Woman’s-Body River.”
Wait — there’s more! Everyone who
agrees to purchase all the aforementioned songs is also promised a remake of one of The Drifters’ greatest
hits. “Up On The Roof”? It’s now titled “I’ve Got Shingles!!!”
Hey, I’m just a man whose intentions
are good!
Danny welcomes email responses
at [email protected] and visits to his Facebook fan page
“Tyree’s Tyrades.”
Letters to the Editor
It is COLD
Watching people race into Walmart
recently, I realized that most were in a
hurry to get in out of the cold.
But turning on the TV, I heard more
about the cold, cold hearts who are ruling the streets where many of us live.
I know, bad news is good news for the
broadcast industry, but you might
think that after awhile, even they
would tire of the muggings and murders that make up the bulk of their
news broadcasts.
I was thinking about this when I read
the story of our friends at the Helping
Hands
organization
here
in
Cookeville. Calls for assistance are
down, supplies are up. That ought to
be good news for all of us, not that we
ought to forget that it is our help that
propels that process. Giving helps us
to live better, don’t you think?
We are a fortunate people, those of us
who have found Cookeville to be a
city where most of us get along with
our neighbors and speak highly of the
activities that help to make us more
than just a city or town, but a community. Some count the steeples they see
as evidence of a good city, assuming
that they indicate where a church can
be found, but I have discovered that
churches can be found wherever people gather to affirm their love for one
another.
I know, we tend to differ in our theological thinking, possibly more often
than we out to — but after all, we
seem to enjoy theological thoughts. I
used to do that myself, but over the
years I have learned that listening to
people is a far more rewarding experience. Listening with both ears open,
that is. Ever think about the fact that
we are born with two ears and two
eyes and only one mouth? It helps
when you begin to realize that facts are
far more important to us when we
learn that it is what we know and understand, than merely the opinions of
those who earn their livings by merely
talking.
For example, what we experience as
cold is real. The possibility that it
might get warmer is little more than an
opinion.

Preserve playground
Please don’t let the Heart of the City
playground become overrun with
problems. Surely, the steering committee has discussed this previously.
There is too much money and sweat
equity that has been invested already.
May I suggest a summit meeting between the mayor and city council, director of Leisure Services, city
manager, police chief and Kelly Swallows to set a course of action.
Signs stipulating the rules are necessary. But those rules will have to be
enforced in order for those rules to be
meaningful.
The playground is a treasure that
must not be squandered.
The high level meeting that I have
suggested ought to do the trick.
This half million dollar project must
be preserved; our children deserve no
less.

Punches thrown
To the extent that I understand at all
Danny Tyree’s lame attempt at satirical
commentary in “Oregon civil disobe-
dience: Will it spread nationwide?”
(H-C, Sunday, Jan. 10), he seems to be
siding with the kooks in eastern Oregon who have “taken over” part of a
national wildlife refuge out there. The
feds, wisely, are letting the selfanointed “Citizens for Constitutional
Freedom” freeze their tails off and finally go back to where they came from
rather than confronting them.
Tyree correctly states that “the federal government owns nearly half the
land in the West.” He incorrectly calls
it “hoarding.” In fact, Congress did its
best to give away large chunks of the
West, but no one wanted it. Why? Too
dry. Most of those who gave it a shot
under the Homestead Act, and several
other “Please just take it” congressional acts, couldn’t make a go of it.
Deserts, it turns out, are not like Tennessee.
The Bundy dude who is spearheading
this who-cares “rebellion” is the son of
the other Bundy dude who, in 2014,
“rebelled” against the federal government for illegally failing to pay—for
years—his absurdly low grazing fees.
(Grazing fees on federal land are a
fraction of those on private land.
Check it out.)
Tyree tries to joke about “cow flatulence melting the polar ice caps,”
which of course is ridiculous, and not
even funny-ridiculous. What the grazing of privately owned cattle on arid
and semi-arid Western public land
does do is destroy the land. Graze it
bare. Grind it into dust.
Tyree also manages to slip in a pitch
for Donald Trump and a slam at Muslims. Might as well swing your arms
around wildly when you don’t know
how to throw a good punch. Right?

Hillary campaign deploys husband Bill very carefully
By LISA LERER
Associated Press
KEENE, New Hampshire (AP)
— Bill Clinton promised voters
in 1992 that they’d be getting
“two for the price of one” if they
elected him to the White House
— a presidential duo of the
young Arkansas governor and his
Yale Law-educated wife.
Nearly a quarter century later,
the duo is back — but not quite
the same.
As Hillary Clinton fends off a
rising challenge from Bernie
Sanders, his wife’s campaign
aides are grappling with how best
to deploy what she has described
as her “not-so-secret weapon.”
Their answer: very, very carefully.
During campaign swings
through Iowa and New Hampshire, Bill Clinton treaded fastidiously through tightly controlled
campaign events. A natural-born
chit-chatter, he was not giving interviews. When he stopped to
talk with reporters after one recent event, campaign aides
turned up the music, making a
conversation all but impossible.
His remarks to voters have been
relatively subdued: long on history, statistics and nostalgia. He’s
dodged questions about Sanders
and Republican front-runner
Donald Trump, who’s been baiting the Clinton family with comments about the former
president’s past sexual improprieties
“I’m not going there,” Bill Clinton said on Wednesday, when
asked about Sanders at a campaign event in New Hampshire.
“I came here to tell people why I
thought Hillary should be president and her ideas are better.”
While Bill Clinton remains a
popular figure among Democrats, some of the key achievements of his administration form
the basis of Sanders’ critique
against his wife — that she’s too
willing to compromise liberal
ideals for political gain.
The Vermont senator has denounced his rival’s policies on
trade, same-sex marriage, crime
and welfare cuts. He’s made reinstating Glass-Stegall, a Depression-era banking law repealed
under Bill Clinton’s administration, a central attack line of his
campaign.
“People don’t have a long memory, but Bernie’s doing his best to
remind them,” said Roger
Hickey, a co-director of the liberal Campaign for America’s Future. “People don’t want a
recycling of Bill Clinton’s presidency. They want somebody
who’s willing to stand up to the
billionaires
and
corporate
power.”
Clinton aides say those critiques
miss the larger picture of wage
growth, job creation and a balanced budget. In a debate last
month, Clinton said she would
turn to her husband for economic
advice.
“He carries a message of peace
and prosperity under his presidency and I think a lot of Americans would like to get back to
those days,” Clinton said in an
interview on NBC’s “Today
Show” on Wednesday.
At an afternoon event in Keene,
voters recalled the Clinton presi-

dency fondly, as a time of prosperity.
“The best economic times for
my family were when Bill Clinton was president,” said Madeline Smeaton, a graduate student
in Keene whose father lost her
job in the Great Recession. “We
were making a lot of money.”
Still, some of those economic
achievements face a skeptical reexamination within a party that’s
grown more liberal under the
Obama administration.
Bill Clinton has said that he regrets approving the Defense of

Marriage Act and the “don’t ask,
don’t tell” policy that banned
gays and lesbians from military
service. He also has looked back
with regret on signing the 1994
crime bill, which led to tougher
sentencing for drug offenses.
“I signed a bill that made the
problem worse,” the former president told an audience at the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People’s annual meeting in Philadelphia in July. “And I want to
admit it.”
On Wednesday in New Hamp-
shire, Bill Clinton detailed the
economic growth under his administration, listing statistics on
wage growth, the decline in
poverty and insurance rates.
He walked voters through
Hillary Clinton’s policy priorities, stressing the need to invest
in infrastructure, renewable energy, small business, college affordability and paid leave. And
he sprinkled his remarks with his
wife’s foreign policy and domestic accomplishments as first lady,
New York senator and secretary
of state.
“Whatever I say about Hillary’s
plans, you’re entitled to give it a
little discount,” he said. “But I
ought to get some credit for
knowing something about how to
run the economy.”
It’s an argument similar to the
one he made in 2007, when
Hillary Clinton was fending off
another insurgent challenger:
then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
But unlike eight years ago, when
his comments about Obama
“playing the race card” angered
black voters, he made no mention
of his wife’s primary opponent.

Obama proposes new unemployment insurance plan
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack
Obama on Saturday proposed a set of changes to
the U.S. unemployment insurance system that he
says would offer more security to out-of-work
Americans and encourage experienced workers to
rejoin the workforce, even if it means taking a pay
cut.
“We shouldn’t just be talking about unemployment; we should be talking about re-employment,”
Obama said in his weekly media address.
The president’s proposal would require states to
provide wage insurance to workers who lose their
jobs and find new employment at lower pay. The
insurance would replace half of the lost income, up
to $10,000 over two years. It would be available to
workers who were with their prior employer for
three years and make less than $50,000 in their new
job.
The proposal also would require states to make
unemployment insurance available to many parttime and low-income workers, and it would mandate that states provide at least 26 weeks of
unemployment insurance. Nine states fall short of
the benchmark, the White House said.

ing, and many Americans continue to see no wage
growth.
Obama said Saturday he believed his proposal
would provide some stability for workers willing
to switch careers and begin working their way up
the ladder in a new field.
Experienced workers on average see a pay cut of
10 percent when they lose their jobs. Workers with
more than 20 years on the job see an average 25
percent pay cut, according to the White House.
Obama’s proposal will be included in the budget
proposal he’s set to send to Congress next month.

The proposal comes as U.S. businesses, outside
the manufacturing sector, are experiencing strong
demand and adding employees. A recent government employment report showed that employers
added a net 292,000 jobs in December as the unemployment rate held at 5 percent.
Obama has begun claiming some credit for this
progress, hoping to push back against Republican
presidential candidates he says are talking down
the economy.
But the White House also has acknowledged the
many jobs added since the recovery are lower pay-

A man gets into a truck at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore., Fridayr.
Police say man arrested in
U.S. vehicle stolen from refuge
By KEITH RIDLER
Associated Press
BURNS, Ore. (AP) — Authorities arrested a man they said was
driving a government vehicle
stolen from a wildlife refuge
being occupied by an armed
group protesting federal land
policies as the standoff in Oregon’s high desert hit the twoweek mark.
Kenneth Medenbach, 62, of
Crescent was arrested by Oregon
State Police at a grocery store in
Burns for investigation of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
It was unclear if he has a lawyer.
Medenbach is already facing
charges in U.S. District Court in
Medford after authorities said he
illegally camped on federal land
between May and November last
year, according to federal court
records.
Authorities also say they recovered a second stolen vehicle from
the Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge but provided no other details. U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service previously reported the
vehicles had been stolen.
So far, authorities have not tried
to remove the group from the
Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge.
As the situation drags on, people in the local area are growing
increasingly weary and wary of
the group.
Cement barriers have been
erected to block streets around
the county courthouse in the
small eastern Oregon town of
Burns, where police from around
the state have set up a command
center.
About 30 miles to the south at
the refuge, other protesters carrying what appear to be militarystyle
rifles
scan
the
snow-covered rangeland from
atop an old fire lookout that gives
them a sweeping view of roads
leading into the area.
“If we all keep a calm about us
everything will be OK,” Brenda
Pointere said Thursday as she exited a Burns restaurant. “It started
out calm, but the longer it goes
on — you start to hear rumors.”
The occupation started Jan. 2 as
a protest over two area ranchers
who had been convicted of arson
being returned to prison to serve
longer sentences.

Marine helicopters crash off Oahu, search underway
By AUDREY McAVOY
Associated Press
HALEIWA, Hawaii (AP) — Rescuers
continued to search choppy waters
where debris was sighted after two Marine Corps helicopters carrying six crew
members each crashed off the Hawaiian
island of Oahu during a nighttime training mission, military officials said.
There was no immediate word Friday
on the fate of those aboard or what
caused the accident. The transport helicopters known as CH-53Es crashed late
Thursday, officials said.
Hours later, a Coast Guard helicopter
and C-130 airplane spotted debris 2 1/2
miles offshore. The wreckage was
strewn over a two-mile area, Marine
Capt. Timothy Irish said.
The choppers were part of the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Base
Hawaii. Known as Super Stallions, they
are the U.S. military’s largest helicopter,
capable of carrying a light armored vehicle, 16 tons of cargo or a team of combat-equipped Marines, according to a
Marine Corps website.
Elaray Navarro, a retiree who lives
across the street from the beach, said she
heard two booms late Thursday that
were loud enough to shake her house.
“I threw my blanket off, put my slippers on and ran outside thinking it was a
car accident,” she said.
She expressed concern for the crew as
she watched the pounding surf from
Haleiwa.
“I pray to the man upstairs to help
them. To bring them home safely,” she
said.
The Coast Guard was notified of the
crash by a civilian on a beach who saw
the aircraft flying then disappear and a
fireball. Another person reported a flare
in the sky, Coast Guard spokesman Lt.
AP
U.S. Marines jump from a US Marines CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopter at Ternate in Cavite province south
of Manila. The U.S. Coast Guard says two Marine helicopters have collided off the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
Scott Carr said.
It was not clear if the fireball and the
flare were the same, he said.
The Marines were alerted when the helicopters failed to return to their base at
Kaneohe Bay as scheduled, Irish said.
The Coast Guard initially reported that
the choppers had collided, but Irish said
Friday that he did not know if the accident was a collision.
The helicopters normally carry four
crew members, but this particular flight
also carried one or two instructor trainers, Irish said. He did not know if they
were teaching the crew or just observing.
The search included Air Force units as
well as a Honolulu Fire Department rescue boat and Coast Guard cutters.
Two Navy ships, the USS John Paul
Jones and the USS Gridley, were also
participating with a Navy squadron of
SH-60 helicopters.
Rough weather was making the search
difficult, with winds blowing up to 23
mph and breaking surf up to 30 feet.
“That is moving that debris all over the
place,” Carr said. “It makes finding
things incredibly difficult.”
Even Honolulu lifeguards accustomed
to big waves weren’t able to search for
long with poor morning visibility.
“We are now back in the water, and we
are searching,” Honolulu Emergency
Services Department spokeswoman
Shayne Enright said. “We’re very hopeful that we will still find possible survivors out there.”
About two dozen Marines were seen
walking up and down the beach at
Waimea Bay, a popular surfing spot a
few miles from the rescue operation.
They appeared to be searching the area.
One used binoculars to look out to sea.
The Coast Guard was keeping people
out of a wide zone that spanned about 30
miles of shoreline, from Kaena Point to
Kahuku Point, citing danger from debris.
The zone extended from the shore to 8
miles off the coast.
Ty Hart, a 21-year-old from Oregon,
was in one of the helicopters, the Oregonian reported Friday night.
The newspaper said Hart lives on base
in Hawaii with his wife.
Hart’s former high school football
coach and teacher, Alan Kirby, described
Hart as a positive kid who always had a
smile on his face and called him a quick
learner on the gridiron.
The family of Capt. Kevin Roche believes he was one of the Marines aboard
the helicopters.
“We believe the Marines and Coast
Guard are doing everything they can to
bring Kevin and his fellow Marines
home safely, and we are grateful to
everyone involved in the rescue,” said a
family statement distributed by brotherin-law Anthony Kuenzel in St. Louis.
The crash came less than a year after a
Marine Corps tilt-rotor aircraft crashed
during a training exercise in Hawaii,
killing two Marines. The MV-22 Osprey
went down last May with 21 Marines
and a Navy corpsman on board.
In 2011, one serviceman was killed and
three others injured when a CH-53D Sea
Stallion chopper crashed in Kaneohe
Bay, Hawaii.
Director Bay: Benghazi movie steers clear of politics
By JOSHUA REPLOGLE
Associated Press
MIAMI (AP) — The very
word “Benghazi” screams politics to most people — especially
in this election year. So, is it
even possible to make a movie
about the deadly 2012 attacks in
Benghazi, Libya, that’s NOT
political?
Director Michael Bay says it is
— by focusing on what he calls
the “great human story” that’s
never been really told, that of
the security contractors who
fought through the night of the
deadly Benghazi attacks on a
U.S. diplomatic compound, in
which four Americans died —
including Ambassador Christopher Stevens — but many others were saved during a 13-hour
siege.
Bay, known best for his blockbuster “Transformers” series,
sat down with the Associated
Press in Miami recently to discuss “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” which
opened Friday. (The interview
has been edited for length and
clarity).
AP: How is this movie not political?
Bay: How is it not political?
Because listen, we all think we
know Benghazi. But there was a
great human story, that got
buried. And that’s the story I’m
telling: the guys who were on
the ground. The men and
women that were stuck in the
CIA annex, and how they fought
for 13 hours to get out of there
alive.
We worked very hard to get the
facts right from the research of
the book that (author Mitchell
Bay: No, no. What this is is an
inspirational human story. And
this is a classic nightmare story.
It’s a story when you have a
nightmare, you want heroes like
this to rescue you from your
nightmares. And this is a movie
— because I worked with so
many special operators in the
military, I worked in the military for so long, I’m personal
friends with so many of them, I
wanted to give integrity to the
story, I wanted to tell the story
because there’s a positive message in it, in the human spirit. ...
It’s a movie that honors all first
responders, from firemen to policemen to the men and women
in the military that do this.

at the heart, it’s a human story.
That’s what shines here.

Burkina Faso hotel seizure ends; 4 jihadis, 23 others dead
By BRAHIMA OUEDRAOGO
Associated Press
OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso
(AP) — The overnight seizure of a luxury hotel in Burkina Faso’s capital by
al-Qaida-linked extremists ended Saturday when Burkina Faso and French security forces killed four jihadist
attackers and freed more than 126 people, the West African nation’s president
said.
At least 23 other people from up to 18
different countries were killed in the attack at the Splendid Hotel and nearby
Cappuccino Cafe, establishments popular with westerners in Ouagadougou, the
capital, he said.
Three attackers were killed at the hotel
and a fourth was killed when security
forces cleared out a second hotel nearby.
Two of the three attackers at the Splendid Hotel were identified as female,
President Roch Marc Christian Kabore
said on national radio.
“We appeal to the people to be vigilant
and brave because we must fight on,”
said the president when praising the security forces and first responders.
He also said the country was grateful
for the military cooperation from French

and Americans.
The Islamic extremists stormed the
hotel and cafe Friday night.
A young black woman with dreadlocks
and young Arabs entered the cafe shouting Allahu akhbar (Arabic for God is
great), said Issouf Ouattara, who was at
the cafe where 10 people were killed in
the gunfire.
“There was general panic. After about
20 minutes the situation calmed down
and then the firing started again and I
think this time it was the police,” said
another witness Inoussa Diarra.
“We tried to evacuate the victims because they were a bit hidden all over,”
witness Patrick Nikiema told regional
news agency Juka Africa.
Gunfire ramped up early Saturday as
gendarme and military forces fought to
take back the building which had been
blackened by a fire during the assault.
Burned cars and motorbikes and overturned chairs and shards of glass lay
scattered near the hotel.
Onlookers were kept far away from the
fighting that continued into daylight.
“We know that the gunmen won’t get
out of the hotel alive. Our country is not
for jihadists or terrorists. They got it

After the morning call to prayer signaled a new day in this West African nation, security forces took control of the
Splendid Hotel they searched nearby
hotels for other extremists in hiding.
The search continued after security
forces found and killed a fourth extremist at the Hotel Yibi, the president said.
About 33 people were wounded, said
Minister of Security and Internal Affairs
Simon Compaore.
The harrowing attack was launched by
the same extremists behind a similar
siege at an upscale hotel in Bamako,
Mali in November that left 20 dead.
Dozens of French forces arrived
overnight from neighboring Mali to aid
in the rescue.
One U.S. military member was embedded with French forces at the scene, and
the United States was working to help
provide France with surveillance and reconnaissance help, according to a U.S.
senior defense official who spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was
not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
An al-Qaida affiliate known as AQIM,
or al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb,
claimed responsibility online as the attack was ongoing in downtown Ouagadougou at the 147-room hotel,
according to the SITE Intelligence
Group.
In a message posted in Arabic on the
extremists’ “Muslim Africa” Telegram
account, it said fighters “broke into a
restaurant of one of the biggest hotels in
the capital of Burkina Faso, and are now
entrenched and the clashes are continuing with the enemies of the religion.”
Fighters who spoke by phone later “asserted the fall of many dead Crusaders,”
AQIM said, according to SITE.

What do you do when your dog makes a training mistake?
In Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote: “Through error you
come to the truth! I am a man because I
err! You never reach any truth without
making fourteen mistakes and very
likely a hundred and fourteen.”
Anyone who has a dog in his or her life
might nod in agreement with that statement. Mistakes? Oh yes, lots of them.
We make them, our dogs make them —
welcome to life as we know it. The
question is “What do we do once an
error is made?”
Answers will range from “Ignore It” to
“No Reward Marker” to “Correction” to
“Punishment.” What’s the difference?
Does it really matter? It can be very
confusing for those who want to train
their dogs appropriately. Let’s look at
each choice and try to clarify.
Ignore It (Extinction) is used mainly in
the positive reinforcement training circle. Examples of using this response
might be turning away when a dog
jumps up on you or staring straight
ahead as the dog watches you eat while
drool drips from the corners of her
mouth. Ignore It is usually paired with
one of two secondary reactions: Redirect
to Proper Behavior and Use Maintenance. As in the jumping example
given, one may turn away, but then ask
the dog to sit and reward that behavior.
Maintenance may consist of placing the
dog behind a barrier which prohibits the
jumping from taking place.
The scientific support for Ignoring It is
that behavior which is not rewarded
does not repeat. The strength is that,
when done properly (teaching the dog
what we want instead), this can be very
effective. The difficulty is that sometimes the dog self-rewards and it has
nothing to do with how we react, so we
must find a way to make our reinforcement more attractive.
No Reward Markers (NRMs) are
somewhat controversial. These are signals to the dog that the behavior in
which he is engaged is not going to receive reinforcement. It can be something as simple as an “oops.” While
seemingly very benign, it can also cause
a dog to become less motivated to attempt the correct behavior. Right now I
am working on teaching BT the correct
response to “right” and “left”. If I say
“right” and he marches straight ahead, if
I say “oops,” he may stop and look back
at me. It’s obvious I have not yet taught
him what “right” means and have more
work to do. If I just continuously just say
“oops”, he may accidentally do it correctly at some
point, in which
case he will be reinforced and the
behavior will repeat. But if I continue to just say
“oops”, he may
Jan
also just shut down
Casey
and/or seek other
ways to be reinforced (Look, there’s the ball! Want to
play retrieve so I can be rewarded?).
Think about how frustrated you become
when playing a game and a buzzer
sounds each time you take a wrong
move. It’s not very motivating.
Corrections. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a correction is
“the act of making something (such as
an error or bad condition) accurate or
better.” It’s hard to visualize a correction
as anything but negative. In school, corrections were usually highlighted with a
red pen which also meant a lower score.

Helping Animals
Helping
pets find
their way
home
By LINDA WESTIN
FRIENDS OF THE ANIMALS
It’s hard to believe, but our new
Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter celebrated its’ one
year anniversary this last week.
Many great things have happened
for the homeless animals in our
community during this last year,
including record intakes (animals
arriving), and a record number of
adoptions.
Thanks to a hardworking shelter
staff, a host of great volunteers,
many rescue groups, the
Spay/Neuter
Clinic
and
Copeland’s Veterinary Hospital, it
has been a very successful first
year.
This year was also the starting
point of many great ideas that
would benefit shelter animals.
One very exciting idea was the
brainchild of shelter volunteer,
Barb Johnson. Barb was aware of
a Facebook group page that was
helpful in connecting lost and
found pets with owners based in
the Texas area. Barb realized that
this could be done here in
Cookeville, and would be a huge
help to anyone having lost or
found a pet in the Cookeville
area. Without a lot of fanfare,
Barb set up a Facebook group
page entitled: Rescue 931
Cookeville, TN and Surrounding
Areas and launched it hoping it
would catch on and make a difference for pets and owners.
And catch on, it did. Rescue 931
Cookeville, TN & Surrounding
Areas has been tremendously
successful, now boasting over
2,780 members posting messages
of lost and found pets in
Cookeville and surrounding
areas. This Facebook group page
now sees approximately 20 to 30
posts a day of pets lost and found
and soon required a second ad-
Barb Johnson, creator of the popular Facebook group
page, Rescue 931 Cookeville & Surrounding Areas, is pictured with an adorable shelter pet and Sue Walker, Facebook group page co-administrator.
AND to visit the Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter regularly when searching for a lost
pet. Also anyone posting about a
lost/found pet, please be sure to
list the general vicinity of where
the pet was lost/found. This is
tremendously helpful with owners searching for their lost pets.
Also, be sure to update your post
if your pet is found.
General tips: If an owner is
coming to claim a pet, make sure
the owner has proof of pet ownership. Remember, having a collar on your pet with a pet tag, as
well as, a pet with a microchip
enable pets to be returned much
faster and more easily. Barb suggests, “write your phone number
in indelible ink on the inside of
your pet’s collar in case your pet
should lose his/her tags — and
visit the animal shelter often as
your lost pet could arrive there
days after being lost.”
The Cookeville/Putnam County
Animal Shelter is located at 2650
Gainesboro Grade, next to HyderBurks Pavilion. The shelter is
open Monday – Saturday, from
noon to 6 p.m.
way, and “you can’t get a cold or
the flu from your dog or cat,”
Schaffner said.
While pets are pretty much off
the hook, Schaffner says the true
hazard in catching a virus comes
from fellow two-legged creatures.
“Flu is transmitted person-toperson through close personal
contact. If you get within my
breathing zone, within three feet,
I can transfer the influenza virus
to you. I breathe it out, you
breathe it in, and you can be infected,” Schaffner said.
Colds and flu can also be transmitted by hand—handshaking
extroverts take note—or via some
surfaces, such as when a sick person touches a doorknob, for ex-
ample, and somebody else
touches the same surface, and
then touches his or her face.
“People should wash their hands
often and use hand sanitizer,”
Schaffner said.
“Also, when flu is rampant in
the community, greet friends with
an elbow bump rather than a
handshake.”
People and their pets have this
in common: the best way to avoid
getting sick is to be immunized—
with pets it’s their annual vaccinations, and with people it’s a flu
shot.
The difference is, Schaffner
noted, people don’t get a shiny
tag to wear showing that they are
up-to-date on immunizations.
(http://avsabonline.org/uploads/position_statements/Punishment_Position_S
tatement-download_-_10-6-14.pdf).
Fallout may include increased aggression and/or fear, increase in the undesired behavior, suppressed behaviors
which will resume in the future, negative
association with the person applying the
punishment or with other things in the
environment. Veterinary behaviorist Dr.
Ian Dunbar notes that people often apply
punishment inconsistently or at the
wrong intensity. Using punishment as a
training methodology certainly opens up
a wide array of negative consequences
for both owners and their dogs.
Dogs are going to make mistakes, the
people handling them will make mistakes. Choosing how to change the undesired behavior to one that is desired
can make all the difference in your dog’s
attitude and future performance. Choose
the one which helps you build a better
relationship with your dog.

Do cats ever get separation anxiety?
Dear Cookie,
I’ve read that dogs can get
separation anxiety for a variety of reasons. Do cats ever
get it?
Bert
Though cats are often portrayed as aloof
and uncaring,
the fact is they
are still social
beings who require interaction
with
others.
This
means
that
Cookie
when left alone,
they can become
anxious and frightened. The
University of Ohio Veterinary
School has a website with excellent suggestions on helping your
cat with separation anxiety:
https://indoorpet.osu.edu/cats/pr
oblemsolving/separation-anxiety Please don’t assume this behavior will just fix itself. It’s
very real and will require you to
make some adjustments for your
cat.
Can my dog and cat eat the
same food?
Ernie
Cats are in a group of animals
we call obligate carnivores,
which
means
they get the majority of their
nutrition from
meats. Dogs are
carnivorous, but,
unlike cats, they
can also utilize
Putter
some nutrients
from plants. Since dog foods are
often filled with plant products,
they will not fulfill the needs of
a cat. Meat alone will not pro-
vide all the needed nutrients for
a dog. So the short answer is —
no, they each need their own
food. V e t Recommended

Dear Cookie and Putter,
ministrator to keep up with it.
Sue Walker, also a shelter volunteer, stepped up and now tag
teams with Barb to follow up,
share and respond to the many
messages that come in each day.
Between the two of these ladies,
the power of social media and the
many wonderful animal lovers in
our community, the results have
been amazing — 50% of lost animals posted on Rescue 931
Cookeville, TN & Surrounding
Areas are found and reunited with
their owners.
Barb and Sue tell owners of lost
pets to never give up. “One dog
was reunited with his owner
many miles from home after a
good four months of searching,”
says Barb.
“It’s easy to become a member
on the Facebook page,” comments Sue. “Just log into Facebook and type in Rescue 931

You can’t give your pet the flu
NASHVILLE — This winter,
when you are home sick with the
cold or flu cuddling with your
dog or cat may feel like just what
the doctor ordered.
A Vanderbilt infectious disease
expert, while stopping short of
actually prescribing in-home “pet
therapy” for colds or flu, says that
if having your companion by
your side makes you feel better,
go right ahead. Pets won’t catch
or spread human viruses.
“The pet is a comfort, not a hazard,” said William Schaffner,
M.D., professor of Preventive
Medicine at Vanderbilt University
Medical Center. Even somebody
who pets the dog or cat after you
is unlikely to catch your virus that
and they’re and you probably won’t feel
particularly positive it.
For a dog, walking at an angle on leash
may well produce a jerk on the leash to
bring her in line with the handler. It is
also possible to correct a behavior by repeating it but adding in more information for the dog (such as walking next to
a wall or fence so walking straight is
achieved). Sadly though, most corrections are synonymous with positive punishment which often consists of adding
physical pain and/or fear to change the
behavior.
In behavioral terms, punishment is
anything which occurs after a behavior
occurs which reduces the chance that the
behavior will occur again. Like it or not,
we have all punished our dogs in some
way — by hooking her up to a leash to
leave a dog park, giving him a time-out
for nipping too hard as a puppy, or holding a dog by the collar to prevent jumping up.
Obviously better training is needed
here, but if punishment is chosen, then
one must be aware of the potential fallout from it. The best source of information on that is a position statement from
the American Veterinary Society of Animal
Behavior
Repo crew saves dog
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) —
Crews repossessing a sports
utility vehicle last Friday likely
saved a pit bull terrier’s life.
“Superior Auto here in town
went to repo the vehicle, and
on their way back to their dealership, they heard something in
the back, and that’s when they
discovered this dog was in a
crate,” said Jim Tate, director
of the Clinton County Humane
Society.
They don’t know how long
the dog had lived in the crate
inside a cold SUV, but the bottom of the crate was filled with
urine, diarrhea and loose fecal
matter, according to photos

course will have more than 10 obstacles, including a giant mud pit at the
end.
“Some new, exciting obstacles are already in the works for this year’s
course,” Jenny Thacker of the Putnam
County YMCA said. “Allowing older
students to run this year means the addition of more challenges for them as
well as more fun for the younger children.”
Registration for the run opens Feb. 1.
The cost is $15 per child until April
28. Registration will be $20 on April
29 and April 30. T-shirts are guaranteed only for those who register by
April 8. Registration forms are available at the Putnam County YMCA or
Highland Rim Academy.
Parents are welcome to accompany
children ages 5-9 on the course. Beginning at 9 a.m., runners will be sent
in waves by age, with a final wave for
siblings of varying ages to run together.
For more information about registration, call the Putnam County YMCA
at 931-528-1255 or Highland Rim
Academy at 931-526-4472.
Anyone interested in volunteering
for the event should call Jenny Crockett at 526-4472 or email her at [email protected].
Sponsorships are also available for
this event.

National School
Choice Week to have
more education events
than ever before
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In just a
week, millions of Americans will
celebrate the importance of choices
in K-12 education at an unprecedented 16,140 events during National School Choice Week, Jan.
24-30.
It will be the largest series of education-related events in U.S. history.
The goal of the events — which
are independently planned by
schools, organizations and individuals — is to raise awareness of
quality K-12 education options for
children and families in communities across the country. These options include traditional public
schools, public charter schools,
public magnet schools, online
academies, private schools and
homeschooling.
The week also provides parents
with an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the need for even greater
education options for their children.
National School Choice Week
events will include everything from
open houses at schools to school
assemblies, parents’ nights, chamber of commerce meetings, roundtable policy discussions, awards
ceremonies and more. There will
also be rallies and celebrations at
20 state capitol buildings during
the Week.
According to National School
Choice Week President Andrew
Campanella, the exponential
growth of National School Choice
Week, which began in 2011, tracks
closely with the growth in public
interest in, as well as support and
demand for, K-12 educational opportunity.
“From 150 events in 2011 to
16,140 events in 2016, the growth
in enthusiasm surrounding National
School Choice Week demonstrates
that Americans in communities
across the country recognize, more
than ever before, the importance of
ensuring that all children have the
opportunity to learn and to pursue
their own American dreams.
“Many parents use the week to
begin looking for new schools or
education environments for their
children, while many others use the
platform provided by National
School Choice Week to speak out
in favor of greater educational opportunities.”
National School Choice Week is
an independent public awareness
effort. The Week is nonpolitical
and nonpartisan, and NSCW does
not advocate for or against legislation.

Educators
call for
renewed
focus on
dyslexia
Lt. Mike Smith of the Cookeville Police Department, center, holds the “I Make a Difference” award he received during the Jan. 7 school
board meeting for his many years of service in Putnam County schools teaching the D.A.R.E. program and bullying education, among
other topics. Celebrating with Smith, who is retiring this month, are, from left, James and Ann Smith, his parents; Wanda Smith, his wife;
and, after Smith, Dr. Kim Wright, Capshaw Elementary principal, who nominated him for the award; and Capt. Scott Winfree of the CPD.
TENNESSEE — This past October was
designated as National Dyslexia Awareness Month. Despite a renewed focus by
state and national leaders, educators and
parents have been frustrated by the
progress made in addressing this disability. Yet, most educators were unaware of
the recognition.
Dyslexia is an unexpected difficulty in
reading for an individual who has the intelligence to be a much better reader due
to a difficulty in getting to the individual
sounds of spoken language, which affects
the ability of an individual to speak, read,
spell and often, learn a language.
In 2014, the Tennessee General Assembly enacted a statute that had two components on its face. The first provided a
definition of “dyslexia” as follows: A
specific learning disability that is neurological in origin and is characterized by
difficulties with accurate or fluent word
recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the

DYSLEXIA: Renewed focus sought
From Page B4
phonological component of language that is often
unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities
and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced
reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.
The second component of the act would require
the department of education to collaborate with institutions of higher education to formally address
dyslexia and similar reading disorders by providing
educators and teachers training in providing effective instruction for students with dyslexia using appropriate scientific research and brain-based
multisensory intervention methods and strategies.
US Senate Resolution 275 identified dyslexia as
the most common learning disability and affects 80
percent to 90 percent of all individuals with a learning disability.
The bipartisan resolution stated “an individual
with dyslexia may have weakness in decoding or
reading fluency and strength in higher level cognitive functions, such as reasoning, critical thinking,
concept formation or problem solving.”
Progress has been made in understanding dyslexia
on a scientific level, including the epidemiology
and cognitive and neurobiological bases of
dyslexia; however, an early diagnosis of dyslexia
is critical for ensuring that individuals with
dyslexia receive focused, evidence-based intervention that leads to the promotion of self-awareness
and self-empowerment and the provision of necessary accommodations so as to ensure school and
life success.
Legislation is still needed by federal, state and
local educational agencies to recognize that
dyslexia has significant educational implications
that must be addressed.
Dr. Chester Goad, as well as Emily Dempster,
president of the Tennessee branch of the International Dyslexia Association, have helped Professional Educators of Tennessee, a non-partisan
teacher association headquartered in Brentwood,
understand the significance of identifying, screening and advocating for students with dyslexia. Rep.
Joe Pitts and Senate Education Chair Dolores Gresham have been champions for students, parents
and educators on this issue, according to PET.
“We have heard from a number of our educators
that it is important that we conduct early screening,
as well as addition screening as needed,” PET officials said. “In addition, there must be accommodation options for students with reading disorders.
This should include a variety of assistive technology, software, and audio books, and these options
for services should be included in the student’s
IEPs.
“Educators need dyslexia-specific teacher training
that would include completion of a training course
in the implementation of multisensory structured
language teaching techniques and strategies. This
is the ‘right course of action for our state’s students
with dyslexia,’ according to Rep. Pitts, and we
agree.”

he downside to spending the
week between Christmas and
New Year’s in Denver with
grandbaby Josephine? Missing the
chance to ice skate in downtown
Cookeville. I never even got to see the
temporary rink, which must have been
a challenge to keep frozen given the
balmy Tennessee temperatures in late
December.
The upside was that I got to skate on
real ice surrounded by the snowcapped Rocky Mountains. No danger
of melting at Evergreen Lake. The
temperature when we arrived early in
the morning was seven degrees. It had
barely reached double digits when we
finished.
When daughter Meg and son-in-law
Andrew hatched the plan to go skating, I was gung-ho. Until I realized I
couldn’t pinpoint the last time I’d
been on ice skates.
The first time, I

because we’d

learned to roller
skate not long
Ivey
after we learned to
walk.
I skated on ice only twice after I
moved back south — once at a rink in
Atlanta when I was in college and
once at Ober Gatlinburg right after I
turned forty.
Surely, I told myself, it would come
back to me. Even after all this time. I
haven’t forgotten how to ride a horse.
I can still ski. Catch a baseball. Shuffle cards. Play jacks. Why should ice
skating be any different? Muscle
memory is muscle memory. I tried to
quiet the little voice in my head that
kept whispering “Yeah…but you’re a
senior citizen now. Maybe your ankles
aren’t as strong. Maybe your balance
isn’t as impressive as you think. What
if you fall and get all bruised up?
Worse than that, what if you fall and
break something?”
“Hush!” I told the voice. “I’ve been
offered the rare and wonderful opportunity to ice skate in Colorado. I won’t
say no. I won’t!”
Luckily, the rink was set up for inexperienced skaters. It was surrounded
by a soft snowbank perfect for falling
into without hurting yourself. I know
this because I hadn’t been on the ice
15 seconds before I put that snowbank
to the test. The rink also offered green
plastic “cheaters,” fashioned after the
walkers you see in hospitals and nursing homes. After that first fall, I
nabbed one and made it around the
circle with confidence.
But that wasn’t really skating, any
more than riding a bike with training
wheels is really bicycling. So I handed
my cheater off to a little kid and immediately fell again. Only this time, I
landed on the rock-hard ice. It hurt
like the dickens but I finally managed
to stand up and get going again.
“Push, glide,” I told myself. “Push,
glide.” I completed an entire circle
without falling. Hmmm. This wasn’t
so hard after all. In fact, it was almost
fun. Maybe I should go a little faster
and try swinging my arms the way
real skaters do. As soon as I did, my
feet slid out from under me and I
crashed onto the ice. I lay sprawled
there for what seemed like a long
time, certain that I’d fractured my hip,
elbow or wrist. Maybe all three.
As it turned out, I hadn’t. But I was
exceedingly glad to grab a cheater and
hobble back to the lodge. It was past
time to take over as Josephine’s
bruised-but-not-broken babysitter.

Tom Tomberlin shows off some of his wooden figures that he has carved over the years.
A Heart for Carving
Cookeville man carves all kinds of figures
By MEgan TrOTTEr
COOKEVILLE — Tom Tomberlin
of Cookeville really has a heart for
woodcarving. He uses the skill to
bring joy to the hearts of others and to
himself while shaping a block of wood
into whimsical figures. As a member
of Mended Hearts, an organization for
heart patients and their families and
caregivers, he donated his time to
carve a large trophy that the organization uses to honor an outstanding
member each year.
Tomberlin discovered the art of
woodcarving when he was just a little
boy, and it has been in his heart ever
since.
“Back in those days in grocery
stores, apples came in wooden boxes,”
he said. “Those wooden boxes were
made out of white pine. White pine is
a good carving wood. So we would get
Tom Tomberlin carved this trophy for Mended Hearts.
one of those boxes and make toy airplanes and toy guns and all the things
that kids play with at that age.”
As he got older, however, life got in
the way, and he forgot about carving
for a while.
“After a while, you get away from it
and do all the other things you have to
do, like going to the military, getting
married and having kids and all that,”
he said.
It wasn’t until sometime in the ‘80s
that he was watching a friend carving
and decided he wanted to get back into
the art himself. Since then, he’s created countless figures — everything
from preachers, angels and crosses to
caricatures of people like fishermen,
golfers, and clowns.
He starts with a block of wood —
sometimes purchased, sometimes
found and sometimes given to him —
and a pattern. Sometimes the pattern
is an original one that he’s created,
sometimes it’s one that another wood
carver has made and shared, and
sometimes Tomberlin has even found
inspiration in old coloring book im-
ages.
“You see a flat drawing, but when
you carve, you have to embellish it to
get the back and the sides and everything. You’re bringing it from a onedimension into a 3D figure,”
Tomberlin said. “Some people have
trouble with that, but it’s never really
been a problem for me.”
Tomberlin currently shows his work
once a year at Santa’s Workshop in
Cookeville, which he’s been doing for
about 10 years now. He does occasionally take commissions, but only those
that don’t have a set completion date.
“If somebody wants me to carve
something and I can do it, I’ll do it.
But not on a schedule, because otherwise that becomes work,” he chuckled. “It’s such a joy for me to do it
when I can do it on my own time.”
He learned this the hard way back

which is coordinating the event. “If
you have read any of their other works,
you know that you are in for a treat. It
is one thing to be a historian, to record
and preserve the past with accuracy
and integrity. But then to make that history come alive for others is a gift to
all. These gentlemen bring to life the
important stories of this area that we
call home. What a great way to kick off
2016.”

Plan to shorten
parade at oldest
July 4 fest draws fire
By JENNIFER
McDERMOTT
Associated Press
The town that boasts the nation’s oldest Fourth of July celebration is in turmoil over a plan
to shorten its 2.5-mile parade
route.
The committee that runs the celebration in Bristol, Rhode Island,
voted last week to cut about half
a mile off the route because of security concerns and feedback
from bands that the parade is too
long. But opponents of the plan
say it’s an unwelcome change
that was done without enough
community input. More than
2,500 people have signed an online petition opposing it.
The committee will take a
revote Thursday night, and opponents say they plan to attend to
fight it.
A celebration of Independence
Day has taken place in Bristol
since 1785 and now attracts
around 100,000 people.
The event has become entwined
with the town’s identity. A redwhite-and-blue center stripe runs
down the town’s main street, and
real estate listings for houses
often note if they are on or near
the parade route.
The route has changed in the
past, but it always has wound
through downtown Bristol. It was
lengthened about 40 years ago
before the nation’s bicentennial
in 1976 and has kept to that route
ever since.
Bristol Town Council Chairman
Nathan Calouro said he understands why people are upset and
disappointed;
some
have
watched the parade along that
section for decades and built up
traditions around the parade and
the patriotic festivities leading up
to it.
For Bristol natives, July Fourth
celebrations are “part of your
psyche,” Calouro added.
“We love the Fourth of July.
We’re not the most patriotic town
in America for nothing,” he said.
“We commit to it.”
Fran O’Donnell, the parade
chairwoman, said the committee,
which has more than 150 members, chose to cut that section because the only exit is along the
street, and police officials in the
past have said they worry about
getting first responders and
equipment there in an emergency.
O’Donnell said she expected
some residents to be upset.
“Some people just don’t like
change,” she said. “Unfortunately the ones that are unhappy
are the loudest.”
One resident complained to the
attorney general’s office that the
committee violated open meetings laws by not posting on its
agenda that a vote was scheduled, so O’Donnell called for another vote on Thursday night.
She thinks some committee
members could be swayed, and
the outcome could change because of the outcry.
O’Donnell said she knows Bristol takes pride in the parade.
“We’re a very patriotic community,” she said. “We get it. But it’s
not just Bristol’s parade. I don’t
mean that to slight Bristolians,
but it belongs to more than just
Bristol.”

This image provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shows a person ruling their attic. As winter wears

spends about $2,000 a year on utilities, almost half of which goes toward heating and cooling, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Savvy ways to keep warm
in winter while saving energy
By KATHERINE ROTH
Associated Press
As winter wears on, a few cheap and easy
fixes can help keep homes warm while saving energy and money.
The average household spends about
$2,000 a year on utilities, almost half of
which goes toward heating and cooling, according to the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Luckily, a little savvy can go a long way
toward reducing heating bills. Five ideas
from the energy experts:
Think Clean, Clear And Efficient
“Check your furnace filter on a monthly
basis. If it’s dirty, it won’t function as efficiently as it could,” said Lauren Urbanek,
senior energy policy advocate for the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The EPA recommends cleaning or replacing furnace filters every three months.
And Bob McGee, a spokesman for the
Con Edison utility company, says, “Make
sure someone comes in to tune up the heating system once a year. Service contracts
are always a good idea.”
If you’re in the market for a new furnace,
opt for an Energy Star-certified model.
Some upgrades can reduce heating costs by
as much as 30 percent, McGee said.
“And remember to make sure the heating
vents aren’t blocked and that everything’s
cleared out of the way, otherwise you’ll be
heating your drapes or the back of your furniture instead of the room,” Urbanek says.
Get With The Program
Consider investing in a programmable
thermostat to maximize energy efficiency.
“We recommend keeping it set to between
68 and 72 degrees when people are home,
and then down to between 55 and 65 when
no one is home and at night,” Urbanek said.
The EPA says the thermostat should be set
to 8 degrees lower than normal at night and
when no one’s home.
Some utility companies provide programmable thermostats for free or offer rebates,
so it’s worth calling your energy provider
before heading to the hardware store.
“It’s always a good idea to check our website for existing rebates and promotions,
and also call to see what rebates or promotions might be coming up,” McGee said.
Even without special offers, most programmable thermostats are under $100, Urbanek says, and will save you an estimated
$180 a year on energy costs. “A programmable thermostat can cut consumption by
20 to 30 percent,” she said.
Put Windows And Fans To Work
“Make sure your curtains are open when
the sun is out and closed when it’s dark and
cold outside,” Urbanek said. “And remember that warm air rises, so if you have a
ceiling fan, keeping it on low with the
blade direction reversed (moving clockwise) will gently bring the warm air back
down.”
Seal And Insulate
If you’re doing all that and your bills are
still high, the Natural Resources Defense
Council recommends checking for air leaks
in your home and duct systems. “Things
like caulking and window stripping are really easy to do,” Urbanek says.
“A lot of people automatically assume that
if your house is drafty or cold you need
new windows. It’s sometimes true. But in
a lot of cases, that might not be the most
cost-effective way of keeping warm for
less,” she said. “Air sealing and insulation
often gives you way more bang for your
buck in terms of savings.”
The average household can cut its heating
and cooling costs by around $200 per year
just by following Energy Star’s sealing and
insulation guidance (www.energystar.gov)
and using Energy Star-certified appliances,
according to the EPA.
Consider An Energy Audit
Many energy companies help customers
get professional energy audits of their
homes or offer lists of energy audit
providers, and some utilities offer financial
incentives to have audits done. A professional can pinpoint improvements that can
translate into greater energy efficiency and
savings, McGee said.

Pull up a chair for season 2 of ‘Ellen’s Design Challenge’
By FRAZIER MOORE
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — For most of
us, the word “chair” probably brings
to mind a single, universal image signifying the totality of chair-ness.
Same with the idea of “table” or
“bed.”
But the fact is, the range of chairs,
tables, beds and other furnishings is
limitless and ever-growing, always
inspiring further innovations.
Anyone doubting that is welcome to
tune into “Ellen’s Design Challenge,”
which returns for its second season
Monday at 9 p.m. EST on HGTV.
“How many more ways are there to
make a coffee table? How many
more ways are there to make a
chair?” poses Ellen DeGeneres. “Design Challenge” promises to shed
light on those questions.
DeGeneres — who says, “I love
anything that goes in a house, including the house itself” — hatched the
idea for this design competition,
which will showcase 10 candidates
(up from six last year). They will
sketch, design and build innovative
furniture with the hope of outlasting
their rivals and, at the end, receiving
the $100,000 prize.
On every episode, these competitors
will face new design challenges as
each is paired with an expert carpenter to fulfill that week’s assignment.
Maybe they’re required to make a
certain type of furniture. Maybe
they’re limited to certain materials.
Then their creations are evaluated by
a panel of judges, with the field of
competitors continually narrowing.
“It’s got the drama of their having to
come up with ideas while trying to
make a deadline,” says DeGeneres,
who will make the occasional surprise appearance, but, as executive
producer, mostly watches with great
interest from off-screen.
“My passion is design,” she says,
which is how she came up with “Design Challenge.”
“Some of the designs on the show
are functional as a piece of furniture,
and some of it is art,” she notes. The
same as in her home: “Some of my
favorite chairs are not really comfortable, but I love the design of them.
It’s not going to be in my living room
to actually invite guests to sit on, but
it’s going to be an object I love having on display.”
No doubt the judges will be tested
along with each designer, as they size
up each creation for both its form and
its function.
DeGeneres promises, in Ellen fashion, that this season will be “bigger,
better and armoire-ier,” and adds,
“It’s an eye-opening experience to realize the amount of talent out there
that didn’t get exposure until this
show.”

DEAR TAKEN ABACK:
Forgive me if this seems oldfashioned, but I think that a
kindergartener should be allowed to remain a child for at
least a few years. I’m not only
surprised that your son and
daughter-in-law would send
their 6-year-old to school wearing makeup, I am equally surprised that the school would
allow it.
And when Sophie spends the
weekend with you, don’t you
think YOU should make the
rules about whether she’s allowed to wear makeup? Someone has to draw the line, but
when you do, be prepared for
some battles.
DEAR ABBY: My mother
passed away a few weeks ago.
She lived with my husband and
me for the last 2 1/2 years of her
life, and I was her caregiver.
The week after she passed, my
husband did not stay home even
one day with me. It was the
loneliest, saddest time I have
ever experienced. I feel he
should have stayed with me
without my having to ask him.
He says all I had to do was ask.
Frankly, I don’t think it was up
to me to ask to be comforted.
Who do you think is right? —

DEAR GRIEVING: Please
accept my deepest sympathy for
the loss of your beloved mother.
You were a loving, caring
daughter and, I’m sure, a comfort to her in her last years.
It is sad that you and your husband have such a poor level of
communication. You should not
have had to ask him to remain
by your side in your hour of
need. He promised to do that at
the altar, and from where I sit,
he failed you.
DEAR ABBY: I am a woman
married to a woman. Recently
we attended her family reunion.
Her first cousins (all female) decided to have a meeting. When
my wife returned from the discussion, her mom asked her
what it was about. My wife
replied that they were planning
a trip with just the female
cousins — no men. I feel hurt
and excluded, as I am a woman,
too.
Am I wrong? I can understand
not wanting husbands on an allgirl trip, but am I not the exception? — OUT OF THE LOOP
IN ALBERTA, CANADA
DEAR OUT: No. This trip is
for cousins only; no spouses.
Although all the other spouses
are men, you are not a cousin,
so stop looking for reasons to be
hurt. My advice is to let it go.

Pinterest alive with new you for new year
By LEANNE ITALIE
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Welcome
to New Year’s resolution junction. It’s a busy place around this
time of year, when those promises
we make to ourselves are either
furiously alive or dead on arrival.
In a little corner of the world we
like to call Pinterest, resolutionmakers have lit up with ways to
declutter, eat healthier and destress.
“Over the last five years, we’ve
seen the growth of more than 100
million special diet pins on Pinterest,” offers Christine Schirmer,
a spokeswoman for the site. “But
in 2016, we see top health and fitness pins focus on a more balanced approach to well-being,
including meditation, bullet jour-
naling and minimalism.”
Pinners have saved millions of
diet, recipe and workout ideas.
For the first time, the site is seeing pinners ditch crash diets.
Overall, pins related to crash diets
were down 70 percent in 2015
over the year before. Pins of lowcarb recipes have decreased by 40
percent since last January and
Paleo diet pins were down 32 percent, according to data supplied
by Pinterest.
Since Christmas, pins for “hourglass workout,” a full-body approach hell bent on lean, sexy
curves, increased 83 percent.
Pins for “cloud bread,” a grainfree, low-carb bread replacement,
were up 73 percent, an indication
the world is not yet ready to completely embrace carbs again.
In the period between Christ-
mas Eve and Jan. 2, pins for “bullet journals,” which is a minimalist organizational notebooking
system, increased 67 percent,
while “minimalist lifestyle” pinning in general went on the rise
19 percent and those on the subject of decluttering rose 35 percent.
Other New Year, New You
boosts: Jiu jitsu and its calorieburning perks; pins on all things
“holistic”; enthusiasts of the “21day fix,” with guides for portion
control, meal planning and clean
eating; a 60 percent bump for
“detox tea” pins; and a recent 41
percent bump for “dry brushing,”
a DIY detox for the skin that has
proponents advocating the use of
a brush on dry skin in a certain
pattern before showering to help
release the body’s toxins.
Gardening delivers produce
that is tastier, cheaper and safer
than store-bought, right? Well,
not necessarily safer.
“There’s always the potential
from contamination, whether
you grow your own food or buy
it at the market,” said Marisa
Bunning, an extension food
safety specialist at Colorado
State University.
“You know more about (food
safety) and have more control
over it with a home garden, but
animals have more access to
your yard than with specialty
crops grown on farms,” she said.
“Not only wildlife, but pets.”
Most food-borne illnesses are
infections caused by bacteria,
viruses and parasites, according
to the Minnesota Department of
Health. There’s also a danger
from toxins or chemical contaminants. “Many food-borne
pathogens also can be acquired
through recreational or drinking
water, through contact with animals or their environment, or
through

spread,” the agency says.
E. coli and salmonella are the
most frequently reported foodborne illnesses. Symptoms include diarrhea and vomiting,
abdominal cramps, fever and
joint pain. Severity depends
upon an individual’s health, but
children and the elderly comprise the highest risk groups, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Food safety specialists recommend guarding against contamination from field to fork. That
means minimizing hazards in
the garden and being careful
when handling food in the
kitchen.
Some guidelines:
— Choose the right garden location, especially in cities, Bunning said. “Avoid areas near
septic tanks or runoff and
aerosols from contaminated irrigation systems,” she said. “Septic tanks or reservoirs could be
leaking.”
— Use only potable water for
your produce. Groundwater
from wells (the deeper the better) is generally safer than water
from streams or ponds. Drip systems are better than sprinklers
for avoiding direct water contact
with edibles like leafy greens
growing above the soil.
— Manage manure and compost properly. Age it from 2 to 4
months so beneficial bacteria
can kill out the harmful types.
Mix compost frequently, and ensure that it reaches temperatures

of 140 degrees or more for prolonged periods to reduce or
eliminate E. coli contamination.
“Food safety isn’t on the radar
screen in many cases for home
gardeners,” said Kurt Nolte, an
agriculture agent with the
School of Plant Sciences at the
University of Arizona. “Many
gardeners, including myself, just
don’t have (compost) temperature probes that go that high.”
— Clean tools and yourself
after gardening. “Keep pets out
of the garden, use a high-quality
water source, ensure that people
in the garden are not sick, and
that there’s no human waste on
your hands or person,” Nolte
said.
— Wash all fruits and vegetables before eating them, especially if serving them raw.
Washing removes dirt and bacteria as well as residual pesticides.
Cooking kills many pathogens,
and promptly refrigerating leftovers will slow the growth of
harmful bacteria.
Right at Home: ideas, products for a primp-perfect bathroom
By KIM COOK
Associated Press
What makes a great bathroom, one perfect for prepping and primping?
A well-considered combination of fixtures, lighting and amenities — the kind
we often first experience in a really nice
hotel.
“Bathrooms are the most private parts
of our homes. They’re also the most private parts of hotels, our ’homes away
from home,’” says Los Angeles author
Anneli Rufus, who has written travel
books among others. It’s the sense of a
space that’s exclusively ours that’s appealing, she says, enhanced by fittings
and fluffy towels.
We often want to recreate that luxuryhotel experience when we return home,
says Paul Flowers, chief design officer
for Lixil, the Tokyo-based parent company of higher-end, bath-product brands
like DXV and Grohe. The bathroom, he
says, “is moving from a rational space
for cleaning and grooming into an emotional space for relaxation and contemplation.”
Some ways to bring the hotel-style
bathroom home:
Light The Way
Flicking on that hotel bathroom light
switch is often where the magic begins:
Complexions look healthier, skin
smoother.
“Typically, the best type of lighting is
layered, because it addresses the bathroom’s different lighting needs,” says interior designer Jessica Shankman of
Laurel & Wolf in West Hollywood, California.
“I always recommend installing a dimmer to control the light output and create

a different atmosphere in the room,” she
says. That might mean bright lights
when you get dressed, for instance, and
soft lighting while you soak in the tub.
For makeup application, task lighting’s
your best friend, she says: “I suggest
mounting wall sconces on either side of
the mirror to provide shadow-free light-
ing on the face.”
LED lighting has had a big impact on
bath design. Old-school vanity lighting
often involved harsh fluorescents or intrusive marquee lights. Now, the lighting
can be embedded in the mirror itself, and
the reflection can be warm and flattering. Duravit’s L-Cube mirror, for in-
stance, is a frame of LED light that can
be dimmed with a touch of the hand.
(www.duravit.us )
LEDs have also given product designers new places to put lighting, such as
under toilet seat rims and around the
perimeters of spa tubs.
In some cases, the lights change color,
so the mood of the room can be adjusted, to provide a soothing blue, say,
or a zesty yellow/orange glow.

Or opt for a color-changing HotelSpa
or DreamSpa shower head from ipShower, with colors that shift depending
on the water temperature. (www.ipshowers.com )
Designers are also pulling in lighting
from other rooms — such as chandeliers
and pendants — to amp up the drama
and luxe look in a bathroom.
Geared Up
High tech and personalization continue
to move into the bathroom.
American
Standard’s
SpaLet
toilet/bidet by DXV features a heated
seat, temperature-controlled bidet, automated flush, and a seat that opens and
closes via sensor. (www.dxv.com )
Bluetooth-enabled sound systems and
vanity mirrors embedded with TVs
bring soundtracks and programs into the
bathing
environment.
(www.zadroinc.com ; www.seura.com )
And Broan-NuTone’s Premium Humidity Sensing Control monitors moisture levels and automatically turns on
the fan before the mirrors steam up.
(www.broan.com )
Warm And Welcoming
Sheila Schmitz, editor at the homes
website Houzz.com, sees a trend toward
treating the bathroom as more of a “liv-
ing room.”
“Our users love it when they see a
bathroom warmed up with vintage and
furniture-like details,” she says. “Console tables, comfortable chairs, and new
or repurposed dressers make a bathroom
feel more like a living space than just a
place to wash up.”
Chameleon Concepts offers bespoke
wall-mounted vanities with or without
decorative legs. Select your style and
finish, and then add a front panel insert
like patterned paper, faux leather, mosaic or marble. (www.chameleonconcepts.com )

oak or beech wood slab, hewn to resemble driftwood. A coordinating freestanding bathtub is crafted of a new
material with a satin finish and soft feel.

Undulating curves on the Onda collection of vanities and counter basins have
a sensuous and playful vibe. (www.hastingstileandbath.com )
Designer brand Axor teamed up with
Japanese design studio Nendo to create
the LampShower, which features an
LED light encased in a brass showerhead that looks like a lampshade.
(www.hansgrohe-usa.com )
You can add jewel-box drama or resort-style ambience to a bathroom with
art deco, tropical or geometric wallpapers, while aromatherapy diffusers and
live plants generate a spa-like feel. Create a Zen vibe using a feature wall of
grasscloth, stone or wood, along with
minimalist wall-mounted fittings. Builtin cabinetry can add to the sense of calm
by letting you stow away the clutter of
toiletries.

County Court, school board in tussle over building new school: 1964
By BOB MCMILLAN
Looking back in history, here
were some of the happenings in
the Cookeville area for the week
of Jan. 16-22, as recorded in the
pages of the Herald-Citizen
1935
Cookeville Fire Chief Jess
Foutch, in the annual banquet
meeting of the city’s volunteer
fire department, reported that a
total of $4,910 in property damage was done by fire in
Cookeville in 1934.
Mayor Ezra Davis was at the
annual meeting, and soon had his
ear bent by several of the firemen
who complained that too many
vehicles are still parked in front
of fire hydrants.
In fact, firemen told the mayor
they’d heard that a handful of
prominent citizens here have let
it be known that they’ll be sure
that any policemen who ticket
them for parking in front of fire
hydrants will be abruptly unemployed.
Mayor Davis responded that he
will fire any policeman who fails
to ticket anyone who blocks a fire
hydrant with a vehicle. His answer satisfied the volunteers.
Three teens, an 11-year-old, a
15-year-old and a 16-year-old
were sent off to the Tennessee Industrial School this week after
the court found them guilty of
burglarizing Wright’s 5 & 10 cent
store here.
The boys confessed that they’d
taken $8 from the cash register.
Not so, said the store owner. He
said $14 was missing after the
break-in. The court sentenced the
boys to five years. (Jan. 17,
1935)
1941
William A. Overton, 74, a
farmer, retired school teacher and
three-term state senator from
Jackson County, died this week
in his home nine miles outside of
Gainesboro.
Known as “Uncle Billy,” he
served in the state legislature
from 1911-1917. In his years on
the Hill he was described as a
“watchdog of the state treasury.”
He sometimes joked that the “A”
in his middle name stood for
“anti-appropriation”
Cookeville’s American Legion
post is sponsoring an “Americanism” contest. The high school
student who writes the best essay
on “What I Owe America” will
win $100.
Showing this week at the
Princess Theater: “Carolina
Moon.” It also features Smiley
Burnett, Jimmy Lewis and the
Texas Cowboys and June Story.
(Jan. 16, 1941)
1946
Central High released its honor
roll this week. Among the freshmen who made it on the list were
Loama Dupree, Jean Stamps,
Mary Frances Crawford, Joe
Mahler and Billy Wilhite.
Sophomores included Mary
Jane O’Dell, Ethel Barnes
Mitchell, Charles Ben Cowan,
Ann Wall and Lavenia Rucker.
Among juniors on the list were
Gene Mayberry, Danny Mattson,
Julia Sliger, Genira Jo Chambers,
Martha Carver and Amy Matheney.
And seniors on the list included
Bob Lowe, Clarice Cummins,
Reva McHenry, Ruth Thomas,
Emogene Mahler and Philip
Carlen Webb.
Capt. Glen L. Nichols of Algood has been made a “Chevalier
of the Order of Leopold II” by
decree of the Prince Regent of
Belgium.
Nichols was commander of a
transportation company last year
in the key Allied port of Antwerp.
For a time, it was the only port
for supplying the sprawling Allied war machine in its drive on
Germany.
Nichols’ unit is credited with
keeping supplies moving swiftly
from ship to shore despite regular, desperate air attacks and
bombardment by German Vbombs, early missiles that packed
a massive wallop when they
struck. (Jan. 17, 1946)
1954
Kenneth Morgan, Supt. of the
State Training and Agriculture
School for Boys, told the American Association of University
Women at TTU this week that the
problem of juvenile delinquency
cannot be blamed on poverty and
ignorance.
Parents are largely to blame, he
said. They are giving their offspring too little religious training
and too much idle time.
Morgan added that the stress
and uncertainty of growing up
during a world war probably
added to the restlessness cropping up in today’s youths.
At Tennessee Tech next week,
250 high school students from
across Middle Tennessee will
compete in the annual Hillybilly
Music Contest.
A close battle is expected between students from Murfreesboro, Crossville and Spencer,
schools that placed among the
top last year.
After the competition, they’ll all
get together for a “hillbilly” banquet in the TTU cafeteria sponsored by James Carlen of the
Coca Cola Bottling Company.
At the Princess this week:
Johnny Weismuller stars in “Val-
ley of the Headhunters.” Also,
there’s a two-reel comedy and
the 9th chapter of the serial, “The
Adventures of Captain Kidd.”
(Jan. 21, 1954)
1964
The Putnam County Court and
the Putnam School Board are
into it over a school building program. The newest go-around has
left everyone asking when the
new high school is going to be
built.
Last year, the board won approval to spend $2 million for a
new high school and for repairs
and renovations to a number of
schools here. At the time, the
board told the county court that
the figures were based on a best
“guestimate.”
This week, board members
came back and told county magistrates that their “guess” fell
$530,000 short of completing the
work. The court members
balked. And the future of the
building program is hazy.
A hail storm whipped across
Putnam County this week. Hail
and high winds damaged roofs,
dropped trees across power lines
and left the Monterey Hospital
without power for six hours.
Monterey Hospital officials said
the outage posed no danger to patients and no emergency surgeries were necessary while the
lights were out. (Jan. 21, 1964)
1974
Erich Segal, the man who made
millions cry in reading rooms
and movie houses across America, will speak at Tennessee Tech
next week.
Segal is the author of Love
Story, the 1970 tear-jerker that
went on to become a hit movie
starring Ali McGraw and Ryan
O’Neal. He’s been a Yale professor since 1964.
Richard Nixon’s personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, said it
was an accident. Technical experts told Congress otherwise
this week. They say it appears
that 18 1/2 minutes of the infamous Watergate tapes were intentionally erased.
The 18-minute gap covered
conversations in the Oval Office
between the president and his top
aide, H.R. Halderman, concerning the Watergate break-in and
coverup. (Jan. 16, 1974)
1984
Putnam County spent the weekend in the deep freeze. At one
point Friday night, it got down to
9 below zero, and the mercury
never rose above 23 all the next
day.
Across the nation, an historic
cold wave broke record lows in
more than 50 cities, including
some in Michigan, where it hit 33
below.
The Vietnam War, or Hollywood’s version of it, dominated
the movies at the Varsity this
week. Showing were Gene Hackman in “Uncommon Valor” and
Jan Michael Vincent in “Last
Plane Out.” (Jan. 22, 1984)
Rene Angelil, husband of Celine Dion, dies in Nevada
By SALLY HO and NEKESA
MUMBI MOODY
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Rene Angelil,
Celine Dion’s husband and manager,
who molded her from a French-speaking
Canadian ingénue into one of the
world’s most successful singers, died
Thursday after a long battle with throat
cancer, officials and family members
said.
The 73-year-old Angelil died in the
suburban Las Vegas home in Henderson
he shared with Dion and their three children.
Angelil died of natural causes under
the care of a doctor, Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg said. No further investigation was expected.
A post on Dion’s Facebook page said:
“It is with deep sadness that we announce that René Angélil, aged 73, died
this morning at her residence in Las
Vegas after a long and courageous fight
against cancer. The family wishes to live
the mourning in privacy.”
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada issued
a statement saying he has always appreciated the couple’s support because they
took a risk on Las Vegas when Dion
began her residency in 2002 at The
Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
“As a result, we in Las Vegas feel Céline Dion is one of ours,” Reid said.
“She has brought so much positive at-

Singer Celine Dion and her husband, Rene Angelil, arrive for press interviews to promote her new album “A New Day Has Come” in New

became the love of Dion’s life and the “At that time I had been in the business
for 20 years,” Angelil recalled in a 1991
interview with The Associated Press. “In
those 20 years, I had never heard or had
a feeling come out of someone like this
little girl I had in front of me. I had shivers all over, you know.”
Dion has said he mortgaged his house
to finance her first album. In time,
Dion’s voice would become one of the
most popular in the world, recalling bigvoiced singers such as Barbara Streisand
and Whitney Houston.
Initially, she only sang her in native
French, and while she was a huge star in
her native Quebec, it didn’t translate to
widespread international success. She
had to learn English to gain success in
the United States and other countries.
By the late 1990s and 2000s, her soaring voice had become dominant on the
radio.
The theme from “Titanic,” the smash
“My Heart Will Go On,” has been her
defining hit.
She and Angelil married in 1994 in an
elaborate ceremony at Notre Dame
Basilica in Montreal. He was constantly
seen by her side.
In 2000, he was at the center of a highprofile extortion case.
Court records indicate that Angelil
agreed to pay Yun Kyeong Kwon Sung
$2 million in “hush money” after she
claimed he fondled her in an elevator of
the Imperial Palace hotel-casino on the
Las Vegas Strip.
Angelil’s lawyer revealed the terms of
the confidential settlement to a grand
jury that indicted Sung and her husband
on charges of extortion and bribery. Angelil acknowledged no wrongdoing and
was never charged.
The Nevada Supreme Court in 2008
overturned the charges against Sung and
her husband.
Angelil told the Las Vegas Sun in 2003
that he paid the money because he was
worried about his wife’s welfare as they
struggled to conceive and that they
didn’t “need the stress.”
Dion was public about her difficulty,
revealing that she underwent procedures
to eventually get pregnant with her children, Rene-Charles and twins Nelson
and Eddy.
Angelil also had a son and daughter
from his previous two marriages.
Angelil was first diagnosed with skin
cancer while they were trying to conceive their first child. After he was born,
and with Angelil on the mend, Dion retreated from touring and started the residency in Las Vegas so she could be
more stable.
Dion said Angelil had talked about
dying and even discussed his funeral
plans.
“I’ll say, ‘You’re scared? I understand.
Talk to me about it.’” she told USA
Today. “And René says to me, ‘I want to
die in your arms.’ OK, fine, I’ll be there,
you’ll die in my arms.”
USA network tries to take advantage of ‘Mr. Robot’ wins
By DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The creator of “Mr. Robot” promises more
twists for the show’s second season, as
USA moves to take advantage of two
Golden Globe Awards for the freshman
drama that is a key part of its strategy to
appeal to a younger and hipper audience.
Since the show won the Golden Globe
on Sunday for best drama and Christian
Slater earned a supporting actor award,
USA has had more people seeking information about the series through its website and social media than when the
show premiered this past summer, USA
Network President Chris McCumber
said Thursday.
The timing is good, since USA has
something new to offer: episodes of the
show with new scenes just became
available through video on demand. The
network is also premiering what it hopes
will be its next buzzworthy series on
Thursday, “Colony,” a fable about an occupied Los Angeles from “Lost” producer Carlton Cuse.
“It has a real halo effect for the entire
channel,” McCumber said.
USA has always been one of the most
popular cable networks, and also one
most like traditional broadcasters, with
comfortable, non-offensive programming. That doesn’t cut it anymore at a
time more people seek out specific programs to see on their own time.
“The way people watch television, in
order to break through the clutter and in
order to be relevant in a nonlinear world,
you need shows that tap into the zeitgeist,” he said. Besides the upcoming
“Colony,” USA announced it was moving forward with another high-concept
series, “Falling Water,” about three unrelated people with dreams that might
hold the fate of the world in balance.
USA executives knew when they first
read scripts for “Mr. Robot” that it was
good, but also a risk. Boosted by critical
support, the show attracted the young
male viewers that USA was seeking,
while at the same time not alienating
fans of its “NCIS” and “Law & Order:
SVU” reruns.

Average age of new U.S. moms at all-time high
By MIKE STOBBE
AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — The average age
of first-time mothers is at an all-time
high in the U.S — over 26.
The change is largely due to a big drop
in teen moms. But more first births to
older women also are tugging the number up, said T.J. Mathews of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
He’s the lead author of a report re-
leased Thursday that put the average age
at 26 years, 4 months for women who
had their first child in 2014.
The government began tracking the
age of new mothers around 1970 when
the average was 21. It’s been mostly
climbing ever since, and spiked in about
the last five years.
The number rocketed immediately
after a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling
legalizing abortion, which is used
mostly by young unmarried women.
Also fueling the rise were improvements
in birth control and greater opportunities
for women, experts said.
“Women are staying in school longer,
they’re going into the workforce, they’re
waiting to get married, and they’re waiting to have kids,” said John Santelli, a
Columbia University professor of population and family health.
“It’s been going on in the U.S. since the
1950s,” and in many other countries as
well, he added.
Overall, the average age of first-time
moms has been rising in every racial and
ethnic group, and in every state. Since
2000, some of the most dramatic increases were for black mothers and for
moms living along the West Coast.
However, the Northeast still has the
highest average ages. Topping the list
are Massachusetts and the District of
Columbia, each at about 29, and Connecticut and New York, at or near 28.
In New York’s Park Slope neighbor-
hood in Brooklyn — an enclave for families with young children — older moms
are common.
Pushing a stroller on a frigid Wednesday morning, Meisha Welch said she
didn’t have the first of her two children
until just after her 38th birthday.
“Many of my friends I grew up with,
we all have small children,” said Welch,
now 42. “We had children at what in the
past may have seemed like an older age.
But now it feels more average.”

CARVING: Cookeville man carves all kinds of figures
From Page C1
years ago when he owned an antique
shop with his wife in Georgia. Tomberlin would also sell his carvings from the
shop. Once, he’d made a large Noah’s
Ark set, complete with seven pairs of animals, Noah and his wife, plus the ark.
A woman came in and wanted to buy it.
“I was wrapping it up for her when another lady came in the door and said,
‘Can you make me one, too?’ And you
won’t believe this, but then a third lady
came in — and all this happened within
an hour — and she wanted one, too.
Those two ladies both wanted them by a
certain deadline. Now that became
work.
“So I decided right then that I didn’t
have to do this on anybody’s schedule
but mine,” he chuckled.
Tomberlin currently teaches his woodcarving Techniques at the Cumberland
Art Society in Cookeville for all skill
levels.

‘Legally Relevant’
Laura Militana | Herald-Citizen
Local attorney Brett Knight prepares a podcast.
Attorney tunes in to his IT side
By LAURA MILITANA
COOKEVILLE — Brett Knight enjoys talking
about the relevant subjects of the day with anyone
who asks, whether it’s sitting down at a restaraunt
over a cup of coffee or in the grocery store.
Now, he’s taking those discussions to a new level
with the recent development of a podcast.
“There should be a joke that goes ‘What do you get
when you mix an attorney and an IT guy? A podcast,’” Knight said with a laugh.
This is appropriate in Knight’s situation in the fact
that he spent 13 years in the IT field.
“I traveled all over and heard a lot of topics discussed,” he said. “But I always had a dream to be an
attorney.”
He attended Belmont University Law School and
received his law degree a year and a half ago. Before
going into private practice, he worked with the Dis-
trict Attorney’s office with the drug task force.
“That was the most fun job I’ve ever had,” he said.
His last day with the DA’s office was July 31 and
he officially joined Shawn Fry’s practice Aug. 1.
“Shawn has been asking me for a while to join, but
the time wasn’t right,” Knight said. “But now the timing is right.”
His idea for the podcast, called “Legally Relevant,”
came from him sitting around, drinking coffee and
talking with people in the Garden Cafe restaurant in
Overton County.
“I did podcasting in law school,” he said. “It’s fun,
easy and relatively inexpensive.”
And it is timely and reaches a lot of people.
“People can listen to it in the car or while exercising,” he said.
He talks about any topic — local or national.
“Law is really in every aspect of our lives,” he said.
“It’s also hard to find and understand.”
Having a podcast also gives listeners an option to
listen to it in the privacy of their homes.
“Some people may not want others to know that the
topic being discussed pertains to them,” he said.
“This may be true in divorce cases, retirement, etc.”
For 30 minutes of audio, it may take him an hour to
an hour and a half to edit it.
And then it’s uploaded to the website, www.legallyrelevant.com.
“I love to talk, so this gives me a new way to connect with people,” he said. “I’d love to do a series on
rights as citizens. Because there’s a lot people don’t
know.”
With the legislature fresh into their new session,
there will be plenty of material to talk about.
“I also welcome ideas,” he said. “There may be
ideas out there that people are curious about that I
may not be aware of.”

Realtor spreads her wings with new office
By LAURA MILITANA
COOKEVILLE — Heather SkenderNewton is beginning the new year with
a new office, allowing her to spread her
wings and grow her business.
“I’ve been in real estate going on 19
years now,” she said. “I began as an office manager and when I graduated
high school, I got my license and
moved here.”
She had been at American Way Real
Estate and now, she’s starting her own
venture with the opening of SkenderNewton Realty.
“This is a different atmosphere,” she
said. “There are a smaller number of
employees and it gives me a chance to
expand and grow the business.”
She began her career in Ohio where
she was the client coordinator for a real
estate office for approximately two and
a half years. She moved to Cookeville
around 17 years ago, growing her team,
ranking among the top two agents in
the region. She was named top sales
person, top listing agent and top sales
leader.
Getting her new office space together
took hardly any time at all.
“I love the look of this building,” she
said of her new office on Broad Street,
across from the courthouse. “It really
worked out well for us.”
The team of Skender-Newton Realty, from left, are Stacey Wells, assistant director of first impressions;
Michelle Daniels, closing coordinator/realtor; Missy Haney, buyer’s agent; Heather Skender-Newton;
broker/owner; Tyler Wilson, buyer’s agent; Savannah Willis, director of frst impressions; and Anne Garrett, listing coordinator.
Getting approval from the state real
estate commission took hardly any time
at all as well.
“That paperwork took less time than
originally thought,” she said.
She offers YouTube virtual tours instead of photos.
“I have loved the real estate industry
ever since I answered my first call from
a prospective buyer,” she said. “It gives
me an exciting opportunity to help buyers find homes and sellers make a
move. I love helping people achieve
the American dream.”
D
She and her husband, Matt, have two
children.

A
grand opening is set for Jan. 21 at her
new office located at 316 E. Broad St.
CRAB ORCHARD — Cumberland
County, Tenn., officials recently announced that Apex Clean Energy, an
independent renewable energy company based in Charlottesville, Va., is
planning to locate a new wind farm
on private land in the county, 10 miles
east of Crossville.
The project represents an investment
upwards of $100 million into Cumberland County and is expected to
produce up to 71MW of power with
20 to 23 turbines.
The project is planned to begin operations in 2017.
“This is very exciting news for
Cumberland County — for our residents, businesses and visitors, alike,”
said Brad Allamong, president of the
Crossville/Chamber of Commerce.
“We’re thrilled that so many business
and government leaders across this
county came together to collaborate
on this common vision. It’s such positive news for our region.”
Allamong joined Apex Clean Energy officials, Cumberland County
Mayor Kenneth Carey, Jr., Crossville
Mayor James Mayberry and business
leaders from across Cumberland
County for a formal announcement on
Jan. 12 at the Crossville/Cumberland
County Visitors’ Center: Gateway to
the Big South Fork.
The announcement marks the first of
many developmental and business-related projects anticipated in 2016
across Cumberland County, led by
members of the Crossville/Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce
and officials from the City of
Crossville and Cumberland County.
“I’m very inspired by what’s on the
horizon,” said Cumberland County
Mayor Kenneth Carey, Jr. “This is exactly the type of thing that happens
when communities work together.”
The project boundary will encompass around 1,800 acres, with roughly
50 acres to be taken up by the project
itself.
When built, the Cumberland County
project will have a capacity of up to
71 MW, enough power for about
20,000 homes every year.
Average electricity consumption for
a U.S. residential utility customer in
2014 was nearly 11,000 kilowatt
hours (kWh), an average of 917 kWh
per month. A kilowatt is equal to one
thousand watts. Large residential or
commercial buildings may use several megawatts — a million watts —
per month.
Construction will create about 50
local jobs during construction, and
approximately five full-time local
jobs for operations and maintenance.
The project also brings 25 years of annual revenue for county, local
landowners and local schools.
The Cumberland County wind project will be just the second in Tennessee, and the largest.
It nearly triples the energy output of
Buffalo Mountain Windfarm, built in
2000 by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) about 30 miles northwest of
Knoxville.
“Our goal in developing the wind
project in Cumberland County is to
create a clean, renewable, and homegrown source of energy that can supply power to Tennessee,” said Mark
Goodwin, president of Apex Clean
Energy. “We believe renewable energy projects like this will move our
country toward energy independence
by harnessing the energy that flows
through our own backyards.”
Apex brought four wind projects online in 2015: Hoopeston Wind in Illinois, Kay Wind and Balko Wind, both
in Oklahoma, and Cameron Wind in
Texas. At least two more of its Oklahoma projects, Grant Wind and Kingfisher Wind, are expected to begin
operations in 2016.

Publix CEO Ed Crenshaw announces plans to retire in April
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — The CEO of Publix
Super Markets has announced plans to retire on
April 30.
The Ledger reports that Ed Crenshaw announced
his retirement plans in a statement Wednesday.
Crenshaw, 65, is a grandson of Publix founder
George W. Jenkins. He began his career with the
Lakeland-based chain as a stock clerk in 1974. He
was named CEO in 2008.
Crenshaw will remain a member of Publix’s board
of directors, which asked him to succeed his cousin
and former CEO Charlie Jenkins Jr. as chairman.
Publix has 1,113 stores in six states throughout
the Southeast.
The Ledger reports that last year, Publix reported
$30.6 billion in sales.
CHATTANOOGA (AP) — Volkswagen CEO
Matthias Mueller told workers at the German automaker’s lone U.S. plant in Tennessee that recovering from a diesel emissions cheating
scandal “won’t be a walk in the park,” but that
the company is committed to turning around its
prospects in what he called a core market.
Mueller spoke to workers Thursday, one day
after meeting with Environmental Protection
Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy about the
company’s efforts to bring diesel cars into compliance with U.S. law. Volkswagen was forced to
admit last year that about 600,000 vehicles were
sold with illegal software designed to trick government emissions tests.
“We’ve made a mistake, and we have to fix this
mistake,” Mueller told The Associated Press
after the speech on the floor of the Chattanooga
factory.
“Because it’s so complicated, it takes a little
time,” Mueller said in the interview conducted
in German. “I understand the impatience that exists. I’m impatient, too. I’d also like a faster solution, but we have to proceed with care.”
Mueller said the company has agreed with regulators not to discuss the next steps in public.
In Detroit on Wednesday, EPA Director of
Transportation and Air Quality Christopher
Grundler said VW’s proposed fixes fell short “in
a lot of different areas,” and the discussions are
continuing.
Grundler wouldn’t get into specifics, but said
the agency and the California Air Resources
Board are insisting on expeditious repairs that
won’t have an adverse effect on owners.
“We’re not there,” he said.
Volkswagen has two main options in trying to
bring its diesel cars into compliance. It can install
a bigger exhaust system to trap harmful nitrogen
oxide, or it can retrofit a chemical treatment
process that cuts pollution.
The bigger exhaust will likely hurt performance
and gas mileage. But the chemical treatment,
while saving acceleration and mileage, needs a
clumsy storage tank and multiple hardware
changes to work. In either case, almost a halfmillion cars would have to be recalled for the repairs.
Experts say both options will be expensive, perhaps so costly that it will be cheaper to buy back
some of the older models. Mueller was unwilling
to speculate on what specific steps Volkswagen
will take.
“I don’t want to get ahead of any decision,” he
said. “Our responsibility is to find the best possible solution for our customers and for the environment, so we can move confidently into the
future.”
Mueller told workers the company is working
to “win back trust” with customers in the U.S.
and around the world.
“It’s not only our cars we have to fix,” he said.
“We have to repair our credibility, too. This
won’t be a walk in the park.”
Volkswagen is placing great hope in the new
midsized SUV that the Chattanooga plant is
scheduled to begin producing at the end of the
year. It’s part of what Mueller called the company’s “largest ever SUV offensive for this market.”
Mueller took the helm of what had become the
world’s No. 1 automaker after his predecessor resigned amid revelations of the emissions cheating scandal last year. Mueller said the crisis has
presented an opportunity to overhaul Volkswagen’s governance by giving more autonomy to
managers of the company’s brands and regions.
A new engineering center being established in
Chattanooga will help meet that goal for the U.S.
market, he said.
“In a nutshell, Volkswagen here in the U.S.
needs to become more American again,” Mueller
said.

D
ear Dave: My fiancé
and I are getting married in May. He’s a
youth pastor, and I’m in grad
school. His mom and dad
found a home they think we’ll
like, and they want to gift us
money for a down payment.
I’m not sure how I feel about
this under our present circumstances. Do you think we
should go ahead and accept
when I’ll
still be in
Dave
school and
Says
we’ll still
have debt
to pay off?
Emily
Dear
Emily:
You need
to get to
know each
other before you
buy a
Dave
house toRamsey
gether.
I always
recommend that young couples rent for a year and concentrate on each other, the
new marriage, cleaning up
any debts you have, and establishing an emergency fund.
Then, after another year or so
when you’ve had time to take
control of your finances, the
idea of looking for a home becomes much smarter.
It sounds like your future inlaws are really generous people. They’re trying to do
something nice for you two,
but they kind of got out ahead
of things with this idea.
And in the process, they violated some boundaries in your
relationship with your fiancé.
My advice is to have a conversation with your fiancé
about all this and get on the
same page about what is the
smart thing to do. Then the
two of you need to have a loving discussion with his parents.
Let him do most of the talking, and say thank you a lot,
but let them know you both
feel it would be best to start
out by renting something for a
year or so. Then after a little
time has passed, tell them if
they still want to help with a
down payment you’d both
very grateful.
I think this approach would
be good for the boundary issues and for your finances!
Dear Dave: Our son just
turned 8 years old. Is it time
to start giving him an allowance?
Dan
Dear Dan: There’s never a
time for an allowance, no
matter the child’s age. In my
mind, that kind of thinking is
the best way to plant the seeds
of entitlement.
You want your son growing
up with the idea that he’s
owed money simply because
he’s alive.
Instead, work out a plan to
pay him commissions. Assign
him weekly chores that are
age-appropriate.
Then, when the work gets
done, he gets paid. And guess
what? If the work doesn’t get
done, he doesn’t get paid! Not
only do we want to teach a
healthy work ethic, but we
also want him to learn that
work creates money.
Of course, there are some
things a child should be expected to do without financial
reward.
Everyone needs to pitch in
and do certain things to help
out when they’re part of a
family.
But once you’ve taught him
about work, make sure to also
teach him about the three uses
for money — saving, spending, and giving.
Lessons on the basic handling of money are some of
the best teachable moments
you can have with your child.
Not only does it make them
more knowledgeable about finances, it helps them learn
about life!

Walmart to shutter 269
stores, 154 of them in the U.S.

A few of the many clients Goodwill helped place over 2015.
Goodwill places 15K in jobs in
Middle, West Tennessee in 2015
MIDDLE TENNESSEE —
Goodwill Industries of Middle
Tennessee helped 15,412 people
find jobs in 2015, a 61-percent
increase over its efforts the prior
year.
The not-for-profit provides free
training, education and employment opportunities across 48
middle and west Tennessee counties. Overall, the agency assisted
36,081 people in 2015 — a 28percent rise compared to 2014.
The Goodwill Career Solutions
center in Cookeville assisted
1,506 people in 2015, helping
547 of those land jobs.
Goodwill’s territory-wide goals
for last year were to assist 30,000
people and place 11,000 in jobs.
Those benchmarks were met in
November. The organization’s
new goal focuses on 2020, by
which it hopes to be placing
20,000 people into jobs annually.
A recent study by the Jones College of Business at Middle Tennessee State University forecast
that by 2024, Goodwill will place
more than 21,500 into jobs each
year.
Goodwill sells donated clothing
and household goods in its stores
to fund its mission. The agency
employs more than 2,100 people,
but nearly 92 percent of Goodwill’s clients who find jobs are
placed with other employers.
More than 3,000 employers actively hire through Goodwill.
“We are extremely proud of the
results our 29 Goodwill Career
Solutions centers have achieved
for the people and communities
we serve,” said Betty Johnson,
vice president and chief people
officer of the local Goodwill.
“It’s exciting to be changing so
many lives through the power of
work. Our generous donors and
shoppers make it possible.”
Chamber of Commerce
sees many risks for 2016
NEW YORK (AP) — Walmart is closing 269
stores, more than half of them in the U.S. and another big chunk in its challenging Brazilian market.
The stores being shuttered account for a fraction of the company’s 11,000 stores worldwide
and less than 1 percent of its global revenue.
More than 95 percent of the stores set to be
closed in the U.S. are within 10 miles of another
Walmart. The Bentonville, Arkansas, company
said it is working to ensure that workers are
placed in nearby locations.
The store closures will start at the end of the
month.
The announcement comes three months after
Walmart Stores Inc. CEO Doug McMillon told
investors that the world’s largest retailer would
review its fleet of stores with the goal of becoming more nimble in the face of increased competition from all fronts, including from online rival
Amazon.com.
“Actively managing our portfolio of assets is
essential to maintaining a healthy business,”
McMillon said in a statement. “Closing stores is
never an easy decision. But it is necessary to
keep the company strong and positioned for the
future.”
Walmart operates 4,500 in the U.S. Its global
workforce is 2.2 million, 1.4 million in the U.S.
alone.
Walmart has warned that its earnings for the fiscal year starting next month will be down as
much as 12 percent as it invests further in online
operations and pours money into improving customers’ experience.
Of the closures announced Friday, 154 locations will be in the U.S., including the company’s 102 smallest-format stores called
Walmart Express, which were opened as a test

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — American businesses
are facing numerous risks and few upsides as they
enter 2016, with political uncertainties, greater
regulation and cyber theft among their top concerns, says the leader of the nation’s most influential business lobby.
Thomas Donohue, president and CEO of the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Thursday he’s
not forecasting a recession but that the coming
year looks a lot like the past six with what he described as tepid growth.
He said he’s seeing a lot of negatives globally
with many key trading partners struggling.
“When you add it all up, the state of American
businesses in 2016 is filled with uncertainty, risks
and challenge,” Donohue said.
Donohue said the presidential primaries are also
a concern.
On the Democratic side, he said, candidates are
calling for more spending and taxes while on the
Republican side, “sometimes loud voices” are
walling off the U.S. from talent and attacking
whole groups based on ethnicity or religion.
“This is morally wrong and politically stupid,”
Donohue said.
The Chamber of Commerce is a huge player on
the national and state political scene, able to tap
millions of dollars to influence the outcome of
elections.
Donohue said his group will play an active role
in the coming elections with the main focus being
on electing candidates who understand that it’s
the private sector that creates jobs and prosperity.
The leader of the Republican-leaning group
vowed to work hard to protect gains from when
the GOP took control of both the House and Senate.
At the same time, he warned that lawmakers
who come to Washington wanting to shut it down
won’t get the group’s support.
The chamber doesn’t endorse a candidate in the
presidential election, but Donohue said that if any
of the candidates “beat up” on business, he or she
will hear from the group.
Donohue said Congress had a productive 2015
and completed work on several chamber priorities, including ending the crude oil export ban,
passing transportation and education reform bills,
and renewing several tax breaks.
The focus in 2016 will be on passing a free trade
agreement among 12 countries called the TransPacific Partnership and enacting changes that will
sustain Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid,
he said.
The group is also going to battle an array of regulatory actions in court and in Congress, Donohue said, citing proposals to require overtime pay
for certain workers and limiting methane emissions from oil and gas drilling as particular examples.
Donohue noted President Barack Obama’s optimistic State of the Union address, and then contrasted that with a view from business leaders
who saw corporate profits peak some quarters ago
and new small businesses forming at the lowest
rate in many years.
For companies depending upon exports, the
strong dollar and weak growth abroad are making
them less competitive, he said.
in 2011.
There are five closures in Tennessee — Chapel
Hill, Loretto, Cornersville, Dover, and a Neighborhood Market in Nashville.
Walmart Express marked the retailer’s first
entry into the convenience store arena. The
stores are about 12,000 square feet and sell essentials like toothpaste. But the concept never
caught on as the stores served the same purpose
as Walmart’s larger Neighborhood Markets: fillin trips and prescription pickups.
Also covered in the closures are 23 Neighborhood Markets, 12 supercenters, seven stores in
Puerto Rico, six discount stores and four Sam’s
Clubs.
Walmart will now focus in the U.S. on supercenters, Neighborhood Markets, the e-commerce
business and pickup services for shoppers.
The retailer is closing 60 loss-making locations
in Brazil, which account for 5 percent of sales in
that market. Walmart, which operated 558 stores
in Brazil before the closures, has struggled as the
economy there has soured. Its Every Day Low
price strategy has also not been able to break
against heavy promotions from key rivals.
The remaining 55 stores are spread elsewhere
in Latin America.
Walmart said that it’s still sticking to its plan
announced last year to open 50 to 60 supercenters, 85 to 95 Neighborhood Markets and 7
to 10 Sam’s Clubs in the U.S. during the fiscal
year that begins Feb. 1. Outside the U.S., Walmart plans to open 200 to 240 stores.
The financial impact of the closures is expected
to be 20 cents to 22 cents per diluted earnings
per share from continuing operations with about
19 cents to 20 cents expected to affect the current
fourth quarter.
The company is expected to release fourth
quarter and full year results on Feb. 18.
Shares of Walmart Stores Inc. fell $1.12, or 1.7
percent, to 61.94 in Friday morning trading.
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Goldman Sachs said Thursday it will
pay roughly $5 billion to settle
federal and state probes of its
role in the sale of shoddy mortgages in the years leading to the
housing bubble and subsequent
financial crisis.
Coming nearly eight years
after the crisis, the settlement is
by far the largest the investment
bank has reached related to its
role in the meltdown. But the
payment is dwarfed by those
made by some of its Wall Street
counterparts.
Goldman will pay $2.39 billion in civil monetary penalties,
$875 million in cash payments
and provide $1.8 billion in consumer relief in the form of mortgage
forgiveness
and
refinancing.
The U.S. Department of Justice, the attorneys general of
Illinois and New York, and
other regulators who are part of
the settlement have not officially signed off on the deal,
which could take some time.
The government agencies are
part of a joint state-federal task
force created by President
Barack Obama after the 2008 fi-
nancial crisis that has extracted
some of the largest settlements
out of Wall Street.
Goldman, like other Wall
Street banks, has been under investigation for allegedly misleading investors on the safety
of the securities they created by
bundling and selling mortgages.
Many of those poorly written
mortgages went bad, triggering
the financial crisis that spawned
the Great Recession and the
multi-billion
government
bailouts that have caused so
much political anger in recent
years.
“We are pleased to have
reached an agreement in principle to resolve these matters,”
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Chairman and CEO Lloyd
Blankfein said in a prepared
statement.
As a result of the settlement,
Goldman said its fourth quarter
earnings will be reduced by
$1.5 billion. The firm earned
$1.33 billion in its third quarter.
Goldman is scheduled to report
its results on Jan. 20.
A spokesman from the Department of Justice declined to
comment on Goldman’s announcement.
Goldman has been one of the
last banks to settle with regula-
tors for its role in the financial
crisis. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and others all
reached larger, more substantial
settlements in 2014 and 2015.
Bank of America individually
has paid out tens of billions of
dollars in fines as a result of its
role in the housing crisis. When
JPMorgan reached a similar settlement with the same task
force, it paid out $13 billion.
Goldman shares fell 9 cents to
$161.30 in aftermarket trading.

White County’s Cade Crosland tries to put
up a shot as Cookeville’s Bryric Savage
tries to block during the Cavaliers’ 72-69
loss to the Warriors on Friday night in
Sparta.
Smith
County
stuns
Bees in
Carthage
SPARTA — White County High
School was an absolute madhouse
Friday night as both of the Sparta
teams trailed most of the game only
to come back and
win in dramatic
fashion.
The Warriorettes
needed extra time
as they beat the
Cookeville High
School Lady Cavaliers 45-44 in overtime, and the Warriors, once again,
came back from a large deficit at
halftime to beat the Cavaliers 72-69.
“There isn’t another game that
(Cookeville) or White County plays
that has the Cookeville and White
County atmosphere,” commented
CHS head coach Kevin Bray.
The Warriors have had their fair
share of comebacks this season as
they were down big against opponents like York Institute and Lebanon
before making come-from-behind
victories, and Friday night was no
different.
White County’s Cade Crossland
may have started the scoring with a
three, but the Cavaliers (16-5, 3-1 6AAA) came out of the gates hot,
matching and even surpassing the
Warriors’ (17-0, 4-0 6-AAA) long
range shooting in the first half with
six to the Warriors’ five.
Cookeville’s long range shooting,
coupled with absolutely owning the
boards, helped Cookeville to build a
14-point lead in the first half.
“Offensive boards killed us,” commented White County head coach
Eric Mitchell. “In the first half,
(Cookeville) had nine second chance
opportunities and probably scored on
all of them. That’s 18 points, and we
gave up 43 in the first half. We never
could get in a flow. (Cookeville’s)
matchup-zone was really good, and
this is the third time we’ve been
down big at the half. We have got to
quit doing that, and we have got to
get out of the gates a little better.”
However, in true Warrior fashion,
Crosland and Pierce Whited came out
in the third quarter and took over the
game to put the Warriors right back
in it.
In the third quarter, Crosland scored
scored 11 points, while Whited
knocked down four 3-pointers for 12
points and helped bring the Warriors
to within one point at 57-58.
Then things got even more exciting.
The two teams battled every possesion, and Cookeville was able to hold
on to its lead for most of the fourth
quarter. But with 2:14 left in the
game, Whited stole the ball from the
Cavs on their inbound pass, and his
layup gave the Warriors their first
lead since the very beginning of the
game 68-67.
Nobody scored for over a minute
until Cole Crosland broke the drought
with two free throws to bring the
Warriors advantage to three points at
70-67 with 56 seconds remaining.
A lot of time ran off the clock before
Cookeville was able to answer with a
transition layup from Jacob Wilberscheid to close the gap to one point
again at 70-69 with 5.5 seconds on
the clock. Cookeville was forced to
foul Cade Crosland immediately
upon the inbound pass, and he
knocked them both down for the future game winning three point advantage at 72-69 with 4.3 seconds on the
clock.
The Cavs inbounded the ball and
even managed to run a sort-of play

Upperman fans asked following

Smith County, the Associated
Press Class AA
No.
3-ranked
Bees’ second
District 8-AA
loss and only the
third of their
season.
With four seconds remaining,
Upperman’s inbounds pass was
intercepted. The Bees were able to
retrieve the ball and attempt another last-second shot, but the ball
was knocked away and the buzzer
sounded.
One official signaled a foul,
which could have sent Upperman
to the line for a potentially gamewinning three foul shots, but another offical overruled the call,
citing that the buzzer sounded before the foul was committed, ending the contest.
“It was a tough loss,” said UHS
boys head
coach
Bobby
McWilliams. “I thought both
teams played hard and it was hard
to play in this game. We drew up
that play and had people in positions they weren’t used to playing
and the ball got thrown into a
triple-team. But it all comes down
to they made their free-throws.”
But even with a potential overtime period, the momentum probably would have squarely in the
Owls’ corner as the Bees (16-3, 42, 8-AA) were in severe foul trouble. Sharp-shooters Ben Guffey

Tennessee Tech’s Aleksa Jugovic (4, left) celebrates with teammate Torrance Rowe (12, right) after
Jugovic hit one of his seven 3-point shots during the Golden Eagles’ 91-55 win over Southeast
Missouri on Saturday at the Hooper Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE — Aleksa Jugovic is in a zone.
After netting 25 points in a loss at UT Martin
on Wednesday, the 6-foot-3 guard from Leskovac, Serbia scored 25 points against Southeast
Missouri on Saturday … in the first half.
Jugovic finished with a career-high 27 points as
the Golden Eagles blasted
SEMO 91-55 at the Eblen Center.
“Nothing has changed in our
system of play. Each game we
learn from each other and learn
Men’s
how each of us work,” said Jugovic about his recent scoring Basketball
surge. “My teammates are
doing a great job of finding me open. I’m just trying to focus and make as many shots as I can.”
Jugovic hit pretty much everything he was
throwing up against the struggling Redhawks (216, 0-6 OVC). He drained 9-of-12 shots from the
field, including 7-of-10 from 3-point-land,
outscoring the visitors from Cape Girardeau 2521 by himself in the first 20 minutes of play. The
seven 3-pointers tied Jugovic with Kevin Murphy, back in 2011-12 against Murray State, for
the second-most long-range shots in a single
game.
“It was really amazing for me,” said Jugovic
about his first half performance. “I really enjoyed
it and I hope everybody had fun watching it.”
The 2,386 fans in attendance seemed to fuel Jugovic’s hot hand in the early going. At one point,
Jugovic drained four consecutive treys, stirring
the crowd into a frenzy when his fourth straight
3-pointer swished through the net, putting TTU
ahead 29-9.

Tennessee defeats
Mississippi State
By PAUL JONES
Associated Press
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) —
Tennessee needed a spark this
weekend on the road, having
dropped three of its first four
SEC games. Even with senior Armani Moore
not available,
head
coach
Rick Barnes
found his offense
elsewhere.
Tennessee’s Kevin Punter and
Detrick Mostella combined for
47 points and the Volunteers held
off Mississippi State 80-75 on
Saturday.
“This was as good of a team
win as you could have,” said
Barnes. “Everyone in the game
contributed in some way. We’ve
led every game at halftime in the
SEC and I told our guys that Mississippi State would make a push.
We had to respond to it and we
did.
“Kevin Punter was terrific and
Detrick hit some big shots. It was
just a good team win.”
It marked the first road win of
the season for the Volunteers (98, 2-3 SEC). Mostella had a
game-high 24 points while
Punter had 23 points and five assists.
Mississippi State (7-9, 0-4) is
off to a 0-4 start in SEC play for
the first time since 1992-93.
Mississippi State was led by
freshman Quinndary Weatherspoon, who made his first career
start in the SEC. Weatherspoon
had a career-best 23 points while
Gavin Ware had 21 points and 10
rebounds for the Bulldogs.
It was Ware’s fifth double-double of the season and the 17th
double-double of his career. Ware
has now scored in double digits
in 16 straight games to open the
season.
Tennessee shot 47 percent for
the game and made 10 of 23
three-pointers and had just eight
turnovers. Mississippi State shot
just 42.4 percent from the floor
and 5 of 19 beyond the arc.
“Obviously, it was a disappointing loss,” Mississippi State coach
Ben Howland said. “We got
down by double digits again and
fought back. But I take full responsibility. I thought our zone
would help us win some games
but it hasn’t worked out that way.
“Our guys wanted to play man
(in the second half) and that is
what I believe in. We got away
(from the zone) and we are going
to live and die with our man defense. Our kids prefer that but we
got to play aggressively without
fouling.”
The Bulldogs held a 40-31 rebounding advantage, including a
17-8 advantage on the offensive
boards.

TTU Sports Information
COOKEVILLE — High expectations
for success in the classroom have become the norm for Tennessee Tech’s
student-athletes, and once again they
have met their lofty goals.
For the 11th time in
the last 13 semesters,
the number of Tennessee Tech’s students
in
athletics
who
achieved recognition
Athletics by earning a spot on
the Athletic Director’s
Honor Roll has surpassed 200. The Fall 2015 semester
witnessed 206 students accomplish
grades of 3.0 or higher for the period.
“These impressive numbers are a tribute to our student-athletes, our coaches
and our staff for making academics
such a high priority,” said TTU Director of Athletics Mark Wilson. “Not only
are these results something to be proud
of, it’s especially gratifying that it happens on such a consistent basis. It is re-
markable, but it has become a level of
performance that we have come to expect. Our student-athletes also have
come to expect such an impressive result from themselves and their peers.”
The exclusive Gold Club, recognizing
those students with a perfect 4.0 grade
point average for the semester, had 35
honorees.
“It continues to be a remarkable feat
for our student-athletes to achieve such
a high level of success, and they’ve
done it for so many semesters,” Wilson
said. “The Honor Roll recognizes these
young women and men, and helps us to
congratulate them on a job well done.
“That level of success has become an
enduring legacy that each incoming
class can strive to attain, and our Athletics Department will continue to work
to achieve,” Wilson said.
The 35 who scored perfect grades to
be listed in the Gold Club for the semester are: Radir Annoor (football), Allison Barlow (soccer), Taylor Blazei
(soccer),
Sarah
Brandt

country/track), Caleb Cantrell (sup-

“Everyone throughout the campus

continue to set high standards in the
classroom,” Wilson said. “They are students in the truest sense of the word.”

“When A.J. got hot and hit that
shot to make him 19 points, I
don’t think I’ve ever heard it that
loud in here,” said sophomore
Mason Ramsey. “It was a fun
game.”
Ramsey, who was in awe of Jugovic’s shooting, was enjoying his
first start of the 2015-16 season.
The sophomore from Livingston,
who was in the lineup for Ryan
Martin, who is nursing a sore
knee, scored 10 points and
grabbed a season-high seven rebounds.
“Without Ryan, you never know
how we might respond,” said TTU
head coach Steve Payne. “We
have been struggling rebounding
the ball and I thought we would
really struggle without him. But
Mason set a good tone early and
we were fortunate to play well. We
hit a bunch of shots early and they
weren’t ready for that.”
The Golden Eagles (13-6, 5-1
OVC) shot 59.4 percent (19-32) in
the first half and 54.8 percent (3462) for the contest. TTU jumped
out to a 12-0 lead and never
looked back, leading by 30 (5121) at halftime. The only drama in
the second half was if Jugovic
would tie or set the record for
most 3-pointers in a game, which
is eight set by Bobby McWilliams
and Cameron Crisp. Jugovic
missed his only 3-point attempt
and was later taken out as TTU
settled on a 36-point victory.
The Golden Eagles are off to
their best start since the 2005-06
season and keeps TTU undefeated

at home this season at 10-0.
“We love to play here,” said
Ramsey. “We need to get our road
games as much as we can, but it
we keep winning at home we will
be fine.”
Returning home was just what
the Golden Eagles needed after
suffering their first OVC loss at
UT Martin. “It was tough for us to
lose a game in which we shot over
62 percent,” said Jugovic. “Now
we are focused on defense and we
did a good job.”
TTU held SEMO to 33-percent
shooting (22-66), including just 3-
of-22 from beyond the arc. TTU also
out-rebounded the Redhawks 38-37.
“It was huge,” said Ramsey of
the win. “Any time you lose one
game in this conference, you can’t
afford to lose another one right
after.” There were more players
who contributed to Tech’s win
than just Jugovic and Ramsey. Anthony Morse tallied 15 points and
Torrence Rowe dished out a career-high 12 assists. Savonte Frazier finished with nine points
while Tre Hansbrough netted eight
points and both grabbed three rebounds each.

“We were able to play some guys
who deserved some minutes,” said
Payne. “I thought we would play
well. I thought we played well at
Martin. These guys play hard and
I knew they would come out and
play hard. We are getting better.”
Trey Kellum led SEMO with 18
points and five rebounds while
Tony Anderson had 10 points and
Jaylin Stewart tallied eight points
and eight boards.
TTU now goes back on the road,
traveling to Morehead State on
Thursday and Eastern Kentucky
next Saturday.
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Larry Fitzgerald set up and
scored the winning touchdown on the third play of overtime Saturday night, taking a 5-yard
pass from Carson Palmer that lifted
Arizona past Green Bay 26-20 after
Aaron Rodgers sent the game to an
extra period with a desperation 41-yard
touchdown pass to Jeff Janis on the
final play of regulation.
Fitzgerald turned a short pass into a
Playoﬀs
75-yard gain on the first play of overtime to set up the winning score.
Fitzgerald caught eight passes for 176 yards.
The Cardinals, the NFC’s No. 2 seed, thought they had
won until Rodgers, in a play reminiscent of Green Bay’s
win over Detroit this season, took the snap with 5 seconds
to play, scrambled and threw to the end zone.
The 6-foot-3 Janis, a backup receiver, outjumped defenders Patrick Peterson and Rashad Johnson for the ball.
Patriots 27, Chiefs 20
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady hit Rob
Gronkowski with two touchdown passes and reached
over the goal line for another score Saturday to lead the
New England Patriots into the AFC championship game
with a 27-20 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
It’s the fifth straight trip to the conference title game for
the defending Super Bowl champions.
The Patriots (13-4) will meet the winner of Sunday’s
game between Pittsburgh and Denver for a spot in Super
Bowl 50 as they try to become the first repeat NFL
champs since they did it in 2003-04.
After spending the last two weeks recovering from knee
and back injuries, Gronkowski had touchdown catches
from 8 and 16 yards The All-Pro tight end had seven receptions for 82 yards.
Kansas City (12-6) had won a franchise-record 11 consecutive games, including 30-0 at Houston last week in
the wild-card round.

averaging 19 points per game, ranking her 31st in
the NCAA, and has scored double-digits in every
single game this season.
Lindsey Jennings and Alliyah Smith helped her
out adding eight points each, and Smith also added
nine rebounds.
The Golden Eagles shot 41 percent from the field
and 16 percent from behind the arc, while holding
the Redhawks to only 29 percent from the field and
nine percent from the 3-point line. Tech also outrebounded the Redhawks 44-41.
Howard got the scoring started for the Golden Eagles, making their first, second, and third baskets.
Howard also had four rebounds in the first three
minutes of the game, helping the Golden Eagles
build an early lead.
Yaktavia Hickson knocked down Tech’s first 3pointer of the game with five seconds left in the
first quarter to give the Golden Eagles a 19-13 lead
after one.
The lead stayed at about six points for most of the
second quarter, but as the half came to a close, the
Golden Eagles went on a 9-2 run to bump their
lead up to 11 points.
Tech shot 50 percent from the floor in the first
half and only allowed five turnovers, while causing
eight turnovers for the Redhawks. The Golden Eagles had been taking advantage of these turnovers
with 16 points off turnovers to SEMO’s two in the
first half. However, this trend was reversed by the
end of the game.
The third quarter was mostly spent holding on to
a 13-point lead for the Golden Eagles, which they
did well up until the final moments, when the Redhawks bumpd it down to 10 points at 51-41.
The Golden Eagles got their lead to 12 points in
the fourth quarter and managed to keep it for the
first part.
Tennessee Tech’s Lindsey Jennings drives
into the lane during the Golden Eagles’
loss to Southeast Missouri on Saturday at
the Eblen Center.
All of the sudden, SEMO started to get more rebounds and cause several turnovers to start a run.
In the last four minutes of the game, the Redhawks pulled down 14 rebounds and caused seven
turnovers with eight points off of those turnovers
to give them a 17-1 run and the win.
“They are a team that, in preseason, was picked
twelfth in the league, and now they’re 5-1,” Davis
said. “That’s the example I give to these young ladies.
You control your own destiny, and (SEMO has) controled their destiny by fighting like they fought right
there (Saturday night). We just have to finish it.”
The loss moves the Golden Eagles to 1-5 in the
OVC.
Up next, the Golden Eagle host Tennessee State
Thursday night in another OVC matchup.

Jackson Co. dominates Clarkrange in sweep
By CRAIG DELK
Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN
GAINESBORO — The Jackson
County girls showed Friday they’ll have
something to say about who wins the
District 7-A title.
The Class A No. 8-ranked Lady Blue
Devils — whose lone district loss so far
has been to No. 4 Pickett County —
used a 12-2 run in the first quarter to
overcome a slow start, and cruised 5232 over Clarkrange at Kermit Forkum
Gym.
The Blue Devils capped a sweep with
an impressive performance of their
own, topping the No. 8 Buffaloes 75-60.
The girls contest was close for the first
quarter and a half, as Katelyn Beaty
pulled Clarkrange within four (19-15)
when she canned a 3-pointer from the
left side with 3:34 remaining in the second quarter.
“We were a little slow out of the gate,”
Lady Blue Devils head coach Jim
Brown said. “They got us down 5-0,
and we scored the next seven and we
got a little more comfortable against
them. (The matchup zone defense) that
they play is unique – you don’t go
against it much, so sometimes it’s hard
to get a little bit of a rhythm against it.”
However, for the rest of the game
Jackson County (14-3, 2-1 District 7-A)
methodically pulled away, blowing the
game wide open late in the third quarter
as McKenzie Flynn drained back-toback 3-pointers to give the hosts a 3722 advantage after three.
“I thought McKenzie Flynn played extremely well on both ends of the floor,”
Brown said of his senior point guard,
who scored a game-high 16 points. “I
thought she pretty much took control of
the game.”
Jaycie Woolbright’s layup with 25 seconds left accounted for the final margin
and also matched Jackson County’s
largest lead.
In addition to Flynn’s performance,
Woolbright added 12 points, Kassidy
Allen chipped in nine, and Kaitlyn Pippin and Cameron Sherrell scored eight
and seven, respectively.
“Jaycie Woolbright and our entire
bench have improved and have gotten a
lot better,” Brown said. “That’s forced
some people to have to guard everybody.”
Allen had a strong all-around game,
adding eight rebounds, five assists and
four steals.
Charity Crabtree topped the Lady Buffaloes (11-9, 1-2) with nine points,
while Hannah Garrett added seven. Zoie
Crouch (6), Beaty (5) and Gracie Bush
(5) rounded out the visitors’ scoring.
“They’re more experienced than us
right now, and we made a few more defensive mistakes,” Lady Buffaloes head
coach Lamar Rogers said. “We battled

(Jackson County). We’re looking forward to playing up at Clarkrange (on
Jan. 29).
“We’ve said over the years that we’re
trying to see what works and what doesn’t work, and get ready for the tournaments,” Rogers added. “We’ll run into
them I’m sure in the tournaments.
The Lady Blue Devils overcame a
slow start with a 12-2 run midway
through the opening quarter, capped by
Woolbright’s layup with 1:10 left that
made it 12-7.
Clarkrange stopped the bleeding when
Bush buried a 3-pointer from the top of
the key with 42 seconds left, but Jackson County responded with a 7-0 spurt
as Allen made it 19-10 with a driving
layup.
In the nightcap, the Buffaloes tied the
score at 8-8 when Hunter Crouch
canned a 3-pointer with 1:59 left in the
opening quarter. However, Dylan Penley keyed an 11-2 run when he drained
a 3-pointer of his own, and the hosts
took a 19-10 lead when Jonah Smith
sank a runner in the lane early in the
second quarter.
Jackson County (11-6, 3-0) began to
get some separation late in the half,
pulling ahead 35-22 at the break as
Isaac Phillips knocked down a 3-pointer
from the right corner with nine seconds
left.
Blue Devils head coach Gary Flynn
was proud of his team’s showing
against a tough 7-A foe.
“To stay undefeated (in district play)
is great,” Flynn said. “We don’t want to
be in that 4/5 game for sure, and one of
our goals this year is to win the district
tournament and regular-season title, and
we’ve still got that shot. It’s going to be
tough next week, but if we play like we
did (Friday) I like our chances.”
Clarkrange closed to within nine (4334) when Coleman Linkous made a pair
of free throws with 2:40 left in the third
quarter, but the Blue Devils pulled away
for good as James Coe drained a 3pointer and Penley followed with two of
his own in the final 2:19 of the frame.
JCHS led 57-36 after three, before
Clarkrange chipped away and got as
close as 10 (63-53) in the fourth quarter
when Ryan Miller sank a 3-pointer with
2:49 left.
“I’m proud of our guys and the way we
battled back in the fourth quarter,” Buffaloes head coach Rodney Pile said. “But
any time you go on the road and you give
teams easy baskets and good looks, it’s
just tough to overcome. You’ve gotta
give them a lot of credit, so hopefully
we’ll grow and mature from this game
and make us a little bit better.”
The Blue Devils made 10-of-12 at the
line in the final 2:07 to ice the victory.
Penley drained four 3-pointers and led
JCHS with 17 points, while Colby
Brown had a huge all-around game,
flirting with a triple-double as he tallied
16 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.
Coe chipped in 14 points and eight rebounds, while Phillips — in his first
game back after missing two games
with a wrist injury — scored 11 points
and swiped three steals.
Flynn said the biggest key to his
team’s success Friday was the way it
shared the ball.
“We had a guy who had not led us in
scoring all year (Penley) to do that —
he’s been playing well, but he’s not
been that guy,” Flynn said. “(Friday), he
got the shots and he made them. It
makes you hard to guard because we’ve
got about seven guys who can get double digits any night. That makes it difficult for the other team to scout you.”
Crouch and Linkous provided a strong
1-2 punch for the Buffaloes (14-6, 1-2),
leading them with 21 and 20 points, respectively. Linkous completed a double-double with 11 rebounds, and gave
the visitors a highlight with a tomahawk
dunk in the fourth quarter.
Crouch also finished with seven rebounds and six assists.
Jackson County is set to travel to Clay
County on Tuesday night, then return
home Friday to host Pickett County in
what is a crucial district stretch.
Clarkrange, meanwhile, played at
Oneida on Saturday night, and is set to
host Wartburg on Friday.

“We had a couple foul out and
we hadn’t had that all year,”
McWilliams said. “It had us
back on our heels, and we’ve got
to do a better job of adjusting. It
made it a tough game to be in,
but these kinds of games get you
ready for the tournament. We
can’t put people on the foul line

of which the Owls knocked
down 28.
Smith County (12-7, 5-1 8-AA)

Class AA No. 4 Upperman
girls 73, Smith County 50
In the night’s opener, the Upperman girls wasted no time putting a big lead on the board,
outscoring the Lady Owls 22-7
in the opening quarter.
The Lady Bees (19-2, 6-0 8AA), ranked No. 4 in the latest
Associated Press Class AA poll,
saw Smith County try to keep
pace in the second and third
quarters, but Upperman was able
to push further away in the
fourth quarter.
“We played hard the whole
night,” said UHS girls coach
Dana McWilliams. “It was a little choppy at times, but I was
proud of them.”
The Lady Owls (10-8, 4-2 8AA), who had in past years
given Upperman some tough
games in Carthage with Callie
Hackett in the lineup, still
showed some fight.
“They’re a good team and we
knew
that
coming
in,”
McWilliams said. “This place,
we don’t seem to play as well
here, so we knew we’d have a
battle on our hands. I felt like we
stepped up and made big plays.”
Sarah Eldridge, who entered
the season recovering from injury, was able to take a lot of
pressure off of teammate Gracie
Maynord as Eldridge was on
fire, striking for a game-high 19
points. Eldridge hit five of the
Lady Bees’ nine 3-pointers.
“They did a great job of de-
fending Gracie,” McWilliams
said. “Sarah can hit shots, and
we all know that. You could see
it out there, every kid on our
lineup trusts her. They threw it to
her because they know. They see
it every day in practice and know
what she can do. We’ll be glad to
let her take our shots.”
With Eldridge’s effort, Abby
Greenwood and Akira Levy were
also able to score in double-figures as Levy scored 12 points
and Greenwood picked up 13.
With seven points, Brooke Farris proved to be a differencemaker in the contest, not only
providing some offensive firepower for the Lady Bees, but
also providing some big defensive plays.
“When Akira got into foul trouble,” McWilliams said, “Brooke
came in and really stepped up for
us. She hit some great shots and
made some big, big plays.”
For Smith County, Shelby Hix
led the Lady Owls with 15
points, Abbi Gregory scored 12
and Erin Beasley added 10.
Upperman returns to action on
Tuesday night as the teams
travel to Livingston Academy.
The girls tip off at 6 p.m., with

Gasol’s 37 points helps Grizzlies past Knicks
By CLAY BAILEY
Associated Press
MEMPHIS (AP) — Memphis beat
New York 103-95 on Saturday night in
the first game between the teams since
the NBA suspended Grizzlies forward
Matt Barnes for two games for his fight
with Knicks coach Derek Fisher in Oc-
tober.
Barnes finished with two points and
nine rebounds in 26 minutes.
Marc Gasol had 37 points and eight
rebounds to help the Grizzlies to their
fourth win in five games. He was 15 for
29 from the field.
Kristaps Porzingis led the Knicks with
17 points, while Kyle O’Quinn added
15 points, missing only one of his six
shots. Derrick Williams had 13 points.
The Knicks played without leading
scorer Carmelo Anthony, who missed
his second straight game with sprained
right ankle.
The league announced last month that
it was suspending Barnes for two
games without pay for what it said was
a “physical altercation” with Fisher
and for “threatening” the coach in October.
The NBA investigated the Oct. 3 incident in Redondo Beach, California, between Barnes and Fisher — former
teammates with the Los Angeles Lakers
from 2010-12. Despite the buildup to
the first game between the sides, there
were no incidents between the pair.
Jeff Green scored 18 points for Memphis, and Zach Randolph had 14. Mario
Chalmers finished with 12 points.
The Knicks closed to 77-75 in the
fourth when O’Quinn scored inside.
But Memphis responded with a 17-4
run, opening a 94-79 lead on Chalmers’
3-pointer with 3:24 left.

CHS: White County
improves to 17-0 on year
From Page F1
that opened up Trey Bundrant on the 3point arc. However, his shot was tipped
and had no chance of finding the bottom
of the net as the buzzer sounded.
“We played a good first half,” commented Bray. “Even though we had a
14-point lead at half, we’ve known what
White County has done all year in the
second half. We did our best to keep it
from happening, but we couldn’t stop
them.”
Cade Crosland led the Warriors with 29
points on three 3-pointers and 8-of-9
from the free throw line, while Whited
followed closely with six 3-pointers and
24 points.
Cookeville had four players score in
double-digits as Ayden Gist scored 18
points, Noah Hilliker had 16, Bryric
Savage had 12, and Jacob Wilberscheid added 10. Hilliker led the Cavs
long-range shooting with four 3-pointers.
The win keeps the Warriors undefeated
streak alive at 17-0 and 4-0 in the district.
“I’ve got to give it to Cookeville,”
Mitchell said. “They’re a good basketball team and we knew it all year, but it
feels great to stay undefeated. It’s a lot
better than the alternative. We’ll take a
win any way we can get it, but we know
it’s going to be tough over there next
time.”
The girls game didn’t have a major
comeback, but it was arguably just as exciting as the Warriorettes trailed most of
the game then fought back to force overtime and win it.
“We’ve been battling trying to finish a
lot here lately,” commented CHS head
coach Mindy Odom. “We were just
short-handed, and fatigue definitely set
in during the fourth quarter. We made
some mental errors, and I think being fatigued contributes to that. We talked a lot
after the game about how much we
could learn from this game and things
we’ve got to do to finish. We just didn’t
do it (Friday) night.”
And this game was exciting from start
to finish.
Cookeville stole the ball on the opening
possesion and took the first lead with a
basket from Courtney Savage. However,
the Warriorettes answered right back
with seven straight points ended by a 3pointer from Heidi Smith.
The Warriorettes scored six more
points to reach a 13-5 lead before the
Lady Cavs answered with a 10-2 run to
tie the game at 15.
Ultimately, the Warriorettes edged out
the Lady Cavs 18-17 in the first quarter
for their last lead until overtime.
The Lady Cavs took the lead back early
in the second quarter and doubled the
Warriorettes second quarter points for a
31-25 lead at the half.
For most of the third quarter, the lead
fluctuated between six and eight points
for the Lady Cavs until Logan Quillen
got a huge steal and breakaway layup
with 45 seconds left in the third to bring
the Warriorettes within four points.
Then, the Lady Cavs lead stayed at
about four points until Madison Gardenhire hit a layup off of an offensive rebound with 5:40 left in the game to bring
the Warriorettes within one point at 3940.
Sydney Bean extended the lead back to
four points with a layup and a free throw,
but Gardenhire answered right back with
a three to make it 43-42 with 2:17 left.
Nobody scored again until under a
minute to go when Smith made a foul
shot to give the Lady Cavs a two-point
lead again with 33 seconds on the clock.
13 seconds later, Logan Quillen went to
the line and drained both of her free
throws to tie the game at 44 with only 20
seconds remaining.
The Warriorettes thought they might
might have it won after a missed shot to
win it for the Lady Cavs and Savage
fouled Hannah Leftwich on the rebound
with one second left in the game, but
Leftwich missed the free throw and sent
the game into overtime.
Overtime was a game of keep-away as
the Lady Cavs tried to waste clock and
rest up.
Smith got a chance to take the lead for
the Lady Cavs, but her free throw did
not drop with 24 seconds remaining.
Finally, with seven seconds in overtime, Kristen Brown hit a free throw to
give the Warriorettes their first lead
since the first quarter at 45-44. Toiya
Gwynn drove straight to the basket in an
attempt to win the game or at least draw
a foul, but the basket didn’t fall and no
whistle was heard as the buzzer
sounded, giving the Warriorettes the
win.
DeAndra Luna led White County with
two 3-pointers and 14 points overall,
while Gardenhire and Leftwich added
12 and 10 points respectively.
For the Lady Cavs, Savage was the
only player in double-digits with 10
points, while Gwynn and Smith both
added eight. Megan Whitson and Bean
also contributed seven points each.
“It was a great basketball game,” commented WCHS head coach Michael
Dodgen. “This is the atmosphere that
everybody should have to play in front
of every single night, because the kids
work so hard to do what they do. They
deserve this. Mindy Odom is one of the
top coaches in the state of Tennessee,
and she does a phenominal job. Her kids
played well tonight, and they did everything that they could. But we found a
way to win at home, which put us to 4-0
in the district.”
Up next, Cookeville travels to Rhea
County Tueday night, and White County
travels to Cumberland County for more
big district games.
NASHVILLE — After setting one
school record and two personal best
marks Friday night to open action at the
Vanderbilt
Invitational, the Tennessee
Tech women’s track
& field team added
another school record
and five more careertopping efforts Saturday to wrap up the Track and
squad’s third weekend
Field
of action during the
indoor season.
“We continued to build on our momentum from yesterday with stellar performances from Na’Asha Robinson and
D’Airrien Jackson in the 400 meters,”
said coach Wayne Angel.
“We out-performed a lot of power five
schools today,” Angel said. No team
scores were kept.
Not only did Na’Asha Robinson break
her own month-old school record in the
400-meter dash, the freshman from
Huntsville, Ala., took first place in the
event. She ran the circuit in 54.14 seconds to eclipse the record of 55.08 that
she had on the same track on December
5 in her first collegiate meet. “Na’Aaha
was amazing today,” Angel said. “She is
putting this program on the map.”
Tech nearly had a perfect sweep in the
400m event, with D’Airrien Jackson
claiming third place in a personal-best
time of 55.77 seconds. She is a freshman
from Santa Clara, Calif.
In addition to the sprints, Angel was
pleased with several efforts in distance
events, as well.
“We also had some noteworthy performances from our distance crew,” he
said. “Madison Stremler and Jenna
Storms both had personal-best times
today.”
Tech’s four other personal-best marks
to fall Saturday came from Stremler,
Storms, Morgan O’Neal and Antonia
Susnjar. Stremler, a sophomore from
Franklin, Tenn., who was part of the
school’s record-setting 4x800 relay team
Friday night, clocked her personal individual best at 800m with a time of
2:16.69.
Storms, a freshman from Cottonwood,
Calif., ran a PR in the 3,000-meter run
with a time of 10:46.27. The other personal marks came in the 60m dash and
shot put. O’Neal, a freshman from Las
Vegas, ran a time of 8.03 for her best time
at 60m. Junior Antonia Susnjar, a transfer
from Western Kentucky University who
hails from Split, Croatia, had a toss of 35feet, 3.25 inches in the shot put. Two
other Golden Eagle runners established
personal-best standards when they competed for the first time in events. In the
mile run, Purity Murray set her PR time
at 5:28.79. Freshman Molly Griffin, who
was also on the 4x800m record foursome
Friday night, set her individual PR at
2:38.16 in the 800m run.
The team takes a couple of weeks away
from competition to continue training,
and will return to the track February 5-6
at the Meyo Invitational at Notre Dame
in South Bend, Ind.

Tech baseball schedule
By MIKE LEHMAN
COOKEVILLE — Just five
weeks separate the Tennessee
Tech baseball team from officially reuniting with the dirt
and grass for the start of the
2016 season, one that promises to be full of excitement
and plenty of opportunities for
great baseball.
With 55 games on tap for the
Golden Eagles, including 29
in
the
friendly
confines of
Baseball
Bush Stadium at the
Averitt Express Baseball
Complex, Tech looks poised
to make a run to its fourth
consecutive Ohio Valley Conference Tournament appearance.
The Golden Eagles will see
a lot of their home facility
early in the season, opening
the 2016 campaign with 10 of
the first 13 contests in
Cookeville. Kicking off the
action is a three-game set in
Bush Stadium as Tech plays
host to Western Illinois of the
Summit League starting Friday, Feb. 19 at 3 p.m. CST.
"We always try to get those
early games at home," Bragga
said of the early home slate,
"because over the years, once
you get into conference play,
you're basically 50-50. Half of
those are at home and the
other half on the road. At that
point, the midweek games
have little chance of a northern team coming down because they are getting into
their league play. That's typically when we play a lot of
our in-state rivals in homeand-home series.
"In order for us to get the appropriate amount of home
games that I think we need,
we have no choice but to open
up at home those first three
non-conference weekends as
much as we can," Bragga
added. "That's why every year
we typically try to get those
nine weekend games at home.
I think where we are at in the
south, we need to have more
than 50 percent of our games
at home, so that's why we do
that."
Included in those first three
weekends of baseball in Bush
Stadium are series with Bucknell and Miami (Ohio).
"In my 12 years here, we
haven't played Western Illinois," Bragga explained, "so
we're looking forward to hosting them to open the season.
We've also never played
Bucknell since I've been here.
We did play Miami (Ohio) a
couple of years ago in a midweek series and are looking
forward to them coming
down again for a weekend
stretch. All three series offer
us a good range of different
conferences and gives those
programs from up north an
opportunity to come down
and play in some [hopefully]
nice weather."
Highlighting the Golden
Eagle slate are contests at national runner-up Vanderbilt
and fellow Southeastern Conference power Tennessee, not
to mention home-and-home
match-ups with in-state rivals
Lipscomb and Middle Tennessee.
"Vanderbilt is always phenomenal and just a high-class
program to go play," Bragga
remarked. "Tim Corbin does
an incredible job in the way he
coaches and the way he treats
people, both in and out of his
program. We got a win down
there a couple of years ago
and we're just looking forward
to going back again this season and fighting for another.
"We haven't really been able
to play Tennessee in
Knoxville much recently, just
with snow and rain not cooperating with us too much in
the past few years. Hopefully
we can get that in and have the
opportunity to play another
SEC school. Those games are
always a fun challenge for our
program.
"It's great to have these instate rivalries. Middle Tennessee had a heckuva season
last year in Conference USA,
particularly early in the season. Lipscomb has had some
very good teams over the past
few years as well and those
match-ups have been a blast
for our players and a great
challenge overall for both
sides."
The Tech squad will take on
four opponents for the first
time in program history in
2016, including a midweek
series on the road at Central
Arkansas, a three-game home
set against Bucknell, a homeand-home slate against Kennesaw State and three-game
road series at Little Rock.
"Coach [Allen] Gum does a
wonderful job at Central
Arkansas and has that program in a great place right
now," Bragga said. "That will
be a wonderful challenge on
the road. The thinking with
those games is that they get us
on the road with an overnight
trip without having to use a
weekend to do it. It allows us
to play a quality opponent and
get us that road trip we need
to have before we get into the
grind of conference play.
"Kennesaw is an interesting
match-up for us. They were
just in a Super Regional in
2014 and are located in a great
spot from a baseball perspective. They are in a baseball
haven for recruiting and
they've been able to take advantage of that and put together some very competitive
teams, particularly recently.
That will be a great homeand-home series for us that
will be something new and
different, giving us another
fun twist to the season.
"Our bye week, in terms of
not playing an OVC opponent, offers us a trip to face
Little Rock, which is another
team we've never played before. It's just exciting to take
on a new challenge."
Other non-conference opponents on the 2016 schedule include Alabama A&M and
UNC Asheville, both repeat
tilts from last season. The
Golden Eagles will kick off
league play by making a trip
north to take on the reigning
OVC Tournament champions,
Morehead State, starting Friday, March 11.
"Anytime you get into conference play, it's exciting,"
Bragga explained. "But opening up with the conference
champion is an entertaining
and exciting challenge. Southeast Missouri has won the regular season a couple of years
in-a-row, so that will be a
team that will likely be one of
the favorites going into our
league this year, and rightfully
so.
"In the past two years,
Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois,
Murray State, Eastern Kentucky and UT Martin all hired
new coaches. It's always fun
to see what new energy is
brought into our league with
new additions and makes
those games interesting as we
all get a feel for each other.
"It's a good league. We're
anxious to get started, as
everybody is. I think your favorites going into the year are
probably SEMO and Morehead State because they won
the championships last year."
The Golden Eagles will
close out the 2016 regular season with a three-game series
at home against Eastern Kentucky, running from Thursday,
May 19 through Saturday,
May 21.
"It's a fun slate and a good
slate," Bragga said. "We're really excited because we a

Titans decide to keep interim
Mike Mularkey as head coach
By TERESA M. WALKER
AP Pro Football Writer
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee
Titans are keeping Mike Mularkey as
their coach.
The man who handled the final nine
games after the team fired Ken Whisenhunt this season was chosen Saturday,
just hours after the Titans wrapped up
their fourth and final interview for the
job.
Tennessee interviewed Mularkey; another former Buffalo coach in Doug
Marrone; Detroit defensive coordinator
Teryl Austin; and finished the process
by midday Saturday by talking with the
Titans’ defensive coordinator, Ray Horton.
The last NFL team with a head coach
position to fill chose not to wait around
for more candidates, instead joining the
other six teams who all decided to hire
offensive coaches for their openings.
Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk
said Mularkey won the job with his vision for the Titans and how he handled
the final two months of the season as an
interim coach. Mularkey was 2-7 in
nine games after Whisenhunt went 3-20
in his tenure before being fired Nov. 3.
“Mike is a quality coach and an outstanding person who will help us build
this team the right way,” Strunk said in
a statement.
“He has experience as a head coach
and a track record for developing young
quarterbacks and dynamic offenses, and
he also brings continuity for our fran-

In this Jan. 3 file photo, Tennessee Titans interim head coach Mike Mularkey looks on during the second half against the Indianapolis Colts

games after they fired Ken Whisenhunt, on Saturday.

and bring in new coaches for Mike’s Mularkey becomes the 18th coach for
staff, but we believe he has the experi- this franchise overall, and Tennessee’s
third since Jeff Fisher left in January
2011. He previously had two seasons in
charge with Buffalo and one in Jacksonville. He is 18-39 — just 4-21 over
his last 25 games —with the Jaguars
and Titans.
Keeping Mularkey means avoiding
having Marcus Mariota, the No. 2 pick
overall in the 2015 draft, start over completely going into his second season.
“We won’t be starting from scratch,”
Mularkey said. “With that as a basis, we
will now be installing some new systems and bringing in new coaches and
players to build on what we have
started. There is plenty of work to be
done until we reach our goal, but we
will all work tirelessly to get us there.”
The Titans have scheduled a news conference Monday to reintroduce Mularkey and present new general manager
Jon Robinson, who was hired Thursday.
Robinson, a native of Union City, Tennessee, was hired in time to join the Titans as they interviewed potential
coaches. Robinson said after talking
with Mularkey and colleagues around
the NFL he believes Mularkey is the
right choice for this team. The Titans
hold the No. 1 pick in April’s draft and
have more than $20 million in space
under the salary cap.
“Mike’s attention to detail as well as
his track record of building dynamic offenses while developing young quarterbacks such as Matt Ryan is impressive,”
Robinson said.
Mularkey coached Buffalo in 2004
and 2005, leading the Bills to a 9-7
record in ‘04 that was the Bills’ last
winning season until 2014. After his
stint in Buffalo, he was offensive coordinator at Miami, then coached tight
ends in 2007.
Atlanta hired him in 2008 as offensive
coordinator, and the Falcons had a
3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher
and 1,000-yard receiver in three of his
four seasons.
That earned him another chance as the
head man in Jacksonville in 2012,
where he went 2-14 before being let go
when the Jaguars hired a new general
manager.
Mularkey took off the 2013 season and
traveled. His old friend Whisenhunt
brought him back by hiring him to
coach tight ends in Tennessee in 2014,
and Delanie Walker turned in the best
season of his career that year before topping it in 2015 by becoming the franchise’s first 1,000-yard receiver as a
tight end. Walker also became only the
ninth tight end in NFL history to catch
90 passes in a season.
Several Titans congratulated Mularkey
on Twitter, with undrafted free agent
rookie Quinton Spain thanking the
coach for giving him a chance to start at
left guard down the stretch. Mularkey
called Mariota and gave him the news
personally, the quarterback told the
team’s website.
“He did an incredible job with what
happened this year and handling everything,” Mariota said. “I am very excited
to have him as a coach and I look forward to getting to work.”
Broncos vow not to make same
mistake and overlook Steelers
By ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer
DENVER (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers stagger into
Denver with an ailing Ben Roethlisberger, who won’t have
his leading rusher or his top receiver against the league’s
best defense today.
So what?
The Steelers (11-6) are deep even without All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown (concussion) and running back
DeAngelo Williams (foot), and the Broncos insist Big Ben
can go deep even with a sprained throwing shoulder.
The Broncos (12-4) swear they won’t make the same
mistake they did last year, either.
They were in this situation a year ago, coming off a bye
and facing a banged-up opponent who was a big underdog.
Indianapolis 24, Denver 13.
“I think we were focused on New England,” cornerback
Aqib Talib said. “We just knew we were going to tear Andrew Luck and the Colts, get them up out of here and get
ready to go to New England. So, when I look back on last
year, there was a lot of, ‘Next week when we go to New
England we’ve got to play Gronk like this.’ There was a
bunch of future talk when we didn’t even get the Colts
yet.”
The Broncos believe the coaching staff wasn’t dialed in
either, as coordinators Jack Del Rio and Adam Gase were
interviewing for head coaching jobs, and John Fox let it
be known even before kickoff that Chicago was his kind
of town.
“I don’t think we had all-the-way focus,” cornerback
Chris Harris Jr. said. “Everybody had their minds set on
trying to get paid, coaches were trying to leave and go get
head coaching jobs. So, I mean, we had a lot of scrambling
and stuff going on last year. I think this year everybody’s
more focused. Everybody’s bought in.”
Nobody’s thinking about the AFC championship this
time.
“Not a drop of overlooking guys,” Talib said. “Not a drop
of that.”
Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas, whose 80-yard TD
in overtime was the dagger the last time these teams met
in the playoffs four years ago, said, “All we’re worried
about now is the Steelers.”
And there are plenty of good story lines for this matchup:
PRIMED PASSER
Peyton Manning’s teammates say the five-time MVP
looks like his old self — maybe even better — as he gets
set for his first start in 64 days.
“Eighteen is a little more amped up, to be honest,” C.J.
Anderson said.
That could be because Manning has acknowledged this
playoff run could be it for him.
Brock Osweiler started the last seven games for Denver
while Manning was sidelined with a left foot injury, but
Manning’s epic cameo against San Diego secured the
AFC’s top seed and earned him the starting gig again.
“I think he’s looked great,” tight end Virgil Green said.
“He’s been throwing the ball very accurately, putting a lot
of oomph on the ball, throwing the ball deep, short,
medium. ... So, I think he’s looked like the Hall of Fame
Peyton he’s always looked like.”
REPLACING A.B.
Brown is out with a concussion courtesy of Cincinnati
linebacker Vontaze Burfict, but with Martavis Bryant,
Heath Miller and Markus Wheaton combining for 163
catches and 14 TDs, the Steelers are confident they’ll carry
on just fine.
“We’ve got great wideouts,” rookie Sammie Coates said.
“We’re going to go out there this weekend without our
lead dog and we’re going to fill in his shoes and make the
plays we know we’ve got to make.”
PAYBACK TIME?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, right, waits for a snap as backup quarterback Landry Jones (3) waits his turn during a
practice in Pittsburgh on Thursday. The Steelers
face the Denver Broncos in an NFL Divisional
playoff football game in Denver today.
Pittsburgh last month when Roethlisberger capitalized on
Denver’s dearth of safeties, and Steelers center Cody Wallace speared David Bruton Jr.
That drew a flag and a fine but no suspension, and the
Broncos promised Wallace would pay the price next time
they saw him.
“It’s not going to be anything as far as cheap or anything,” Stewart said. “We’re going to get them between
the lines, between the plays, the whistle. So, I mean, he’s
going to be sore after the game.”
MOTHER & CHILD REUNION
Demaryius Thomas’ mother will see him play in person
for the first time Sunday.
Katina Smith was released from federal prison last summer when President Barack Obama commuted her sentence on drug trafficking charges. Smith went to a halfway
house in Georgia and then home, but was restricted from
traveling until now.
“I’ll be excited, she’ll be excited,” said Thomas, whose
mother and grandmother were arrested and incarcerated
when he was 11 years old and he had to go live with an
uncle.
DENVER DUO
Broncos pass-rushing partners DeMarcus Ware and Von
Miller are healthy again just in time to chase down Roethlisberger.
Ware will wear a brace on his left knee, the same one he
used during his 20-sack season in Dallas, and Miller vows
he won’t be wolfing down any more mozzarella sticks at
the movies after doing so forced him to miss Wednesday’s
workouts.
He’d gone to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” on his
day off.
“The Force struck back,” Miller said.

AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina
Panthers coach Ron Rivera says the Seattle
Seahawks are starting to feel a little like a division opponent.
The teams will meet for the sixth time in
four years and for the second straight season
in the NFC divisional playoffs on today. The
Seahawks have won four of the previous
five matchups, including a 31-17 playoff
victory last year in Seattle.
But this time it’s a little different.
Not only will the game be played in Charlotte, where the top-seeded Panthers (15-1)
have won 11 straight, but the Seahawks face
a Carolina team that’s more confident and
battled-tested.
Some of that stems from Carolina’s 27-23
win over the two-time defending NFC
champions in Week 6 when Cam Newton
connected on a 26-yard touchdown pass to
tight end Greg Olsen with 32 seconds left.
The Panthers say that win helped jumpstart
their 14-0 start this season and gave them
confidence they could beat the best.
“It was just a matter of getting over that
hump,” said cornerback Josh Norman.
It led Panthers safety Roman Harper to declare this week: “We are the better team.”
In many ways, the Seahawks and Panthers
are mirror images of one another, which may
help explain why the last five games have
come down to the wire.
They both have dynamic quarterbacks who
can make plays with their arms and their
feet; strong running games led by powerful,
bruising backs; and defenses that excel at
keeping the opposition out of the end zone.
But the most intriguing matchup may be
Carolina’s No. 1 scoring offense against
Seattle’s defense, which has allowed the
fewest points in the league.
Newton became the first QB in league history to throw for 35 touchdown passes and
run for 10 scores in a season. He’ll face a defense loaded with playmakers.
“This is the most diversified offense that
we see, and the dynamics of what Cam is
able to do and the way that they’re willing
to run with him makes this a really difficult
offense to prepare for,” Seattle coach Pete
Carroll said. “You’ve seen everybody have
trouble with it all year long, so we’ll see if
we can keep it down and try to keep the
score within reach and see if we have a
chance.”
NOW BOARDING
After last week’s sudden turn when Marshawn Lynch ended up not making the trip
to Minnesota, all indications are “Beast
Mode” will be back against the Panthers. If
Lynch plays, it will be his first action since
Week 10 against Arizona prior to having abdominal surgery. Lynch was a full participant in practice for the second straight
week.
Carolina did an adequate job slowing down
Lynch in the first meeting, holding him to 54
yards on 17 carries and no run longer than
17 yards. In seven career games versus Carolina as a member of the Seahawks, Lynch
has never rushed for more than 89 yards.
STEWART’S CONDITIONING
Meanwhile, Panthers running back
Jonathan Stewart makes his return after
missing the last three games with a foot injury. Coach Ron Rivera said Stewart’s foot
is not a problem, but is a little concerned
over his conditioning. Stewart, who averaged 18.6 carries per game in 13 games, said
he’ll be just fine and will do “whatever it
takes” to be effective.
