COOKEVILLE — It was around 9:40
Tuesday night when Shawna Gaw, coowner of Hour O Matic Cleaners and Alterations, received a report of damage to the
building that houses her business.
“I immediately thought, ‘There goes my
business,’” she said this morning as the sun
rose and showed the extent of damage done
by straightline winds that blew through. “I
went in and found that fortunately, there
was not a lot of damage.”
She said that the front lobby received

the roof off the Spring Street cleaners were
much higher.
“There’s no telling what that gust was,” he
said.
With a lot of rain falling in a short amount
of time — around 2.1 inches since midnight
— flooding was also a concern, but Smith
said there were no reports.
In the meantime, Gaw is working on
cleaning up the debris and getting the lobby
gutted and repaired.
“It really could have been a lot worse,”
she said.
“Hopefully, we’ll be back up and running
soon.”

some water damage, but no customer items
were damaged.
“It was the tin roof that blew off,” she
said. “There are concrete pillars on the
building that prevented a lot more damage
from happening.”
According to Tyler Smith, Putnam County
Emergency Management Agency director,
this was the only damage reported to that
agency.
“We had high winds associated with this
storm system,” he said. “It was not a tornado, but strong straightline winds.”
The emergency operations center reported
a gust of 31 MPH, but the winds that took
PUTNAM COUNTY — A 35year-old man from Hermitage
took Putnam County deputies on
a high-speed chase late last night
and into the morning as they pursued him in a vehicle that had
been reported stolen earlier in the
evening.
Brad E. Welch, of Bexhill Court
North in Hermitage, was charged
in the incident.
According to a report by Putnam County Sheriff’s Deputy
Josh Hull, it began when the
owner of a green Chevrolet Silverado truck came out of a
Spring Street convenience store
to find someone else leaving the
parking lot in his vehicle.
The truck was later reported
having been spotted at a Baxter
gas station, and Putnam County
Sheriff’s Deputies Patrick Short
and Nelson Lafever encountered
the vehicle on Old Baxter Road
and were able to approach and
get behind it.
“I then ran the tag on the truck
and activated my emergency
lights,” Deputy Short reports.
The truck turned north onto
Highway 56, and the driver
looked back at the pursuing patrol car.
At that point, the deputy said, he
could tell the driver was a white
male who was wearing a white
shirt and hat.
The truck turned onto the ramp
to Interstate 40 and went east-
PUTNAM COUNTY —
Thursday, Feb. 4, is World
Cancer Day, a day when organizations and individuals around
the globe rally together to educate the public about ways to
fight cancer. Every year more
than 8 million people die from
cancer worldwide, and those
involved in World Cancer Day
want to lower that number as
much as possible.
“Around the world, communities will hold festivals, walks,
seminars, public information
campaigns and other events to
raise awareness and educate
people on how to fight cancer
through screening and early detection, through healthy eating
and physical activity, by quitting smoking and by urging
public officials to make cancer
issues a priority,” Dianne Ledbetter, local American Cancer
Society/Relay For Life community manager, said.
The theme for World Cancer
Day is “We Can, I Can,” which
focuses on things that everyone
can do in order to reduce cancer around the world. Organizers of World Cancer Day
encourage individuals to help
cut out cancer in their own
lives by making healthy
lifestyle choices such as avoiding tobacco, exercising, eating
healthy, limiting alcohol and
wearing sun protection, as well
as learning about how to detect
cancer early.
Communities can gather to
call on the government to commit adequate resources to reduce cancer deaths and provide
a better quality of life for patients and survivors. They can
also educate people about
things that increase cancer
risks, as well as encouraging
healthy habits. There is also the
need for those who have been

Man reportedly drags woman with car after prayer
By TRACEY HACKETT
PUTNAM COUNTY — A 60-year-old
Cookeville man was arrested on Monday
after reportedly dragging a female acquaintance with his car.
Eldred Dale Smith, of Denny Road, was
arrested in connection with the incident
that happened the day before at a Benton
Young Road address.
According to a report by Putnam County
Sheriff’s Deputy Chad Martin, the man
had originally come to the woman’s house
Phone: 931-526-9715
Fax: 931-526-1209
because he wanted to talk to her.
But the deputy said that the man had active bond conditions in effect, preventing
him from being around the woman because of a previous offense.
According to information in other reports, the man asked the woman to pray for
him after arriving at her house, and she
did.
“The defendant then got up and said he
felt better and then began verbally degrading her,” according to that information.
According to the deputy’s report, when
the man began calling her names, she told
him to leave.
“He went out and got into his car. At this
time [the victim] followed him out and
opened the passenger door and told Mr.
Smith to never come back,” the deputy reports.
“At this time, Mr. Smith put his car into
reverse and backed up at a high rate of
speed, hitting [the victim] with the car door
and knocking her to the ground,” Deputy
Martin continues. The victim was reportedly dragged for some distance across a
parking lot and Smith left the scene before
authorities arrived. The deputy reports that
she had a cut on her left knee and a knot
on her forehead, which were treated by
emergency medical service personnel at
the scene. But she refused transport to the
hospital. Smith was taken into custody
shortly after midnight very early on Monday morning, charged with aggravated assault and violation of bond conditions.
He was booked into the Putnam County
Jail on a total bond of $55,000.
According to information on his arrest
warrants, his initial appearance in Putnam
County General Sessions Court was on
Monday.

Amendment for CRMC joint
ventures considered Thursday
By TRACEY HACKETT
COOKEVILLE — Cookeville Regional
Medical Center might soon be able to enter
into joint medical ventures in Putnam and
Clay counties without first having to own
property where those ventures will be located.
The Cookeville City Council on Thursday
will consider a resolution that could change
the hospital’s private act so that land ownership in those counties won’t be a necessary
requirement for entering joint medical ventures there.
That resolution would have to be approved
by the state Legislature to become effective,
and the city attempted to make such a
change last year, but because that proposed
change did not limit the locations to Putnam
and Clay counties — where CRMC already
owns property — it was not approved.
“This proposal would allow CRMC to
enter into joint ventures without being re-
quired to own property in Putnam and Clay
counties. If the hospital were to enter into
joint ventures elsewhere, in locations other
than these, it would still be required to own
property there,” City Manager Mike Davidson told the council at a work session on
Monday afternoon.
The act currently requires CRMC to own
property before entering into any joint venture.
Paul Korth, CEO of CRMC, also attended
that council work session in order to answer
possible questions that the council members
may have had about the issue.
When the issue was brought up last year,
the council approved the change, but it was
not approved by the Legislature after State
Rep. Cameron Sexton expressed concern.
Rep. Sexton represents a portion of eastern
Putnam County as well as Van Buren and
Cumberland counties.
Now that the proposed change has been
drafted so that it applies only to counties already represented by CRMC, officials say
they don’t expect to encounter the same opposition.
Vice Mayor Larry Epps asked if the proposed change would cause any hinderance
to the development of health care in other
areas of the Upper Cumberland.
Both hospital and city officials said they
did not think it would.
“It will provide more opportunities for the
hospital in Putnam and Clay counties, but it
doesn’t change the policy anywhere else, in
any other geographic area,” Korth explained.
In addition to the proposed change, the
council will also consider a bid for the sale
of CRMC property located at West Broad
and West 3rd streets and Chestnut Avenue.
The council will also set dates for public
hearings relating to several issues and consider awarding a bid for luminaries for the
Cookeville Electric Department.
The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the
city council chambers at Cookeville City
Hall.

bound.
“Dispatch then advised me that truck was
the stolen truck. I then activated my siren
with my emergency lights and notified dispatch that I was in pursuit,” Deputy Short
said.
The truck fled at speeds near 100 mph, and
Deputy Matt Scott joined the pursuit.
According to Welch’s arrest warrants, the
deputies saw him force “several vehicles off
the side of the road” as it traveled down the
Interstate.
Around mile marker 288, Algood Officer
Roy Phipps deployed spike strips that de-
flated the front driver’s side tire of the truck.
But the driver of the vehicle continued at
approximately 50 mph on I-40 before exiting at the 290 mile marker and going eastbound on Highway 70.
“At this time, the vehicle continued eastbound on Highway 70 with the driver’s side
rim of the truck digging into the pavement,”
Deputy Short reports.
The driver was apparently having difficulty
controlling the vehicle and drove on the
wrong side of the road for several miles.
The pursuit ended when responding
deputies, for the safety of other possible
drivers, forced the vehicle off the roadway.
Deputy Short reports that the driver of the
stolen vehicle had locked himself inside, and
the window had to be broken out so they
could retrieve him and place him into custody.
The driver was transported to Cookeville
Regional Medical Center for evaluation following the incident, and there he reportedly
admitted to having recently used methamphetamine.
Upon his release from medical care, he was
charged with theft of property, evading arrest, reckless endangerment and driving
under the influence.
His total bond was set at $10,000, and he
was scheduled to appear in Putnam County
General Sessions Court this morning.
PUTNAM COUNTY — A
longtime member of the Putnam
County Regional Planning Commission raised concerns over the
need for an east west connector
road south of Interstate 40 at a
meeting of the planning commission last night.
Former county planner Bill Bennett told county planners that they
really needed to start thinking
about an east west connector in
light of the higher density of
houses and the recent increase of
industry south of the interstate,
such as Academy Sports + Outdoors distribution center and FICOSA.
“It could take 15-20 years,”
Bennett told planners about the
time it would take for such a connector road to be completed. “If
we don’t start this now, it will just
drag and drag and drag.”
A current member asked Bennett if he wished to be reappointed to the planning
commission, where he served for
several decades, to which Bennett
laughingly responded, “No.”
Highlands Planning Department
Director Kevin Rush said he
would bring Bennett’s suggestion
to the next meeting of the Rural
Transportation Planning Organization, which meets a few times a
year to make recommendations to
the Tennessee Department of
Transportation on transportation
projects in the counties of Putnam, White, Cannon, Warren,
Cumberland, DeKalb and Van
Buren.
“I’ll go ahead and mention it to
the folks at TDOT,” Rush told the
Herald-Citizen. “What we may
do is have TDOT do a study on an
east west connector south of I-40.
The RPO process may take several years, to get on a list of projects to be funded.”
Rush said that right now the majority of the development in the
county, outside the city limits of
Cookeville, is residential.
“In the county, we had somewhere around 200 lots created in
new subdivisions in 2015,” Rush
said. “I expect to see even more
in 2016.” Rush said one interesting part of about Putnam County
development last year is that a
few developers are actually building roads in the subdivisions
they’re creating, something that
hadn’t happened as much in the
five years prior.
“They’re taking a large tract and
building a new road so they can
subdivide and build on either side
of the road,” he said. “We’ve had
four in the last year.”
The Putnam Regional Planning
Commission meets monthly in
the conference room of the Putnam Courthouse to review new
development in the county. The
next meeting is Tuesday, March
1, at 6 p.m.

Monterey to rezone for ‘major’ development
By AMY DAVIS
Soddy Daisy man
sentenced to 7
years for child
pornography
CHATTANOOGA (AP)
— A Soddy Daisy man who
possessed child pornography featuring hundreds of
known victims has been
sentenced to more than
seven years in prison.
Federal prosecutors say
37-year-old Jason Collins
was sentenced after pleading guilty to receipt of
child pornography.
In addition to prison time,
U.S. District Judge Harry
S. Mattice ordered that
Collins be supervised for
15 years after he is released
and pay restitution to some
of his victims.
Collins was arrested after
FBI agents and Bradley
County officials discovered
more than 80,000 images
and 300 videos on his computer and other storage
media.
Authorities say there were
at least 222 known victims
in the National Center for
Missing and Exploited
Children’s database that
were on Collins’ devices.
The videos featured at
least 90 images of known
victims.
MONTEREY — A “pretty
major” commercial development
could be on the way for Monterey.
That’s what Mayor Bill Wiggins
told board members concerning
property at 203 New Avenue before they passed the first and second reading of an ordinance to
change its zoning classification
from high density residential to
limited commercial based on a
recommendation by the planning
commission.
“A developer is wanting to purchase that whole tract of land,
which is currently zoned R-2 to
accommodate
the
mobile
homes,” Wiggins said of the 0.87acre property. “They want to get
this deal closed. They’ve requested that it be put on the fasttrack.”
Before board members voted to
change the property from R-2 to
a C-1 limited commercial district,
Wiggins said he confirmed with
the Municipal Technical Advisory
Service that they could in fact
take care of both the first and second readings in one motion.
“If we pass this tonight, we will

have a called meeting to do a public hearing and final reading on
the ordinance Feb. 22,” Wiggins
said. “We have to wait 15 days
from the time it’s published in the
news media.”
Aldermen Dale Welch, Johnny
Looper, Clarice Weist, Mark Farley, Joey Isabell and Amy Clark
gave their approval. Rebecca
Iaquinta abstained since she owns
property near the area. Nathan
Walker was absent.
“This is to be, by rumor, a pretty
major commercial development
for Monterey,” Wiggins said.
“That’s why it’s on such a fasttrack.” The board also passed a
resolution to apply for Community Development Block Grant
funds from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Commu-
nity Development for improvements and upgrades at the water
plant.
During committee reports, Amy
Clark presented the water and
sewer committee’s recommendation to accept a bid from First Response Inc. out of Goodlettsville

NASHVILLE (AP) —
Two brothers have been

over a girl.
Metro police say they
have arrested Jamontae and
Ke’Vonte

criminal homicide.
The brothers were standout high school basketball
players at Nashville’s Hillsboro High and formerly

say
18-year-old
Ke’Vonte Davis is still enrolled in school, but quit

Voucher bill
scheduled for
Monday vote in
Tennessee House
NASHVILLE (AP) — A
proposal to create a limited
school voucher program
has been scheduled for a
Monday floor vote in the
state House.
The measure cleared its
last hurdle on a voice vote
in the House Calendar
Committee on Tuesday
after clearing the Finance
Committee by a single vote
last week.
Tuesday’s hearing appeared to largely be a formality, as there were no
audible votes in favor of
the measure sponsored by
Republican Rep. Bill Dunn
of Knoxville before the acting chairman declared that
the bill had been approved.
The vouchers worth about
$7,000 would be made
available to parents of children eligible for free or reduced lunch who attend
public schools ranking in
the bottom 5 percent
statewide.

the best direction to go,” Clark,
who chairs the committee, said of
the $29,475 bid. “It will clean and
also send a camera through the
lines to show what the problems
are so we can be more accurate in
our work.”
Clark also noted that the water
plant needs a new turbidimeter,
which measures water cleanliness
after it is filtered, at a cost of
$3,750. Bids for cleaning the
water plant’s clearwell are still
out. As for the economic development committee, chairman Joey
Isabell reported that details are
being worked out on a lease
agreement between the City of
Monterey and Danny Patel of
Global Recycling Inc. for the establishment of a tire recycling facility in Monterey’s industrial
park. As previously reported in
the Herald-Citizen, the facility
would not actually recycle tires
but cut and place them in barrels
to be shipped overseas for further
processing.
“It’s a fascinating process...” Isabell said, pointing out that the facility would not impact the
environment. “Hopefully, we’ll
have some new industry in our
town.”

Harwell: Durham scandal won’t STAB: Man sought
affect gubernatorial decision
in Algood attack
By ERIK SCHELZIG
Associated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) — House
Speaker Beth Harwell said
Tuesday that the scandal surrounding a Republican lawmaker who has gone on hiatus
amid sexual harassment allegations shouldn’t damage her
prospects as a serious gubernatorial candidate in Tennessee.
The Nashville Republican emphasized to reporters after a
speech to the state chapter of the
National Federation of Independent Business that she has
not yet made up her mind about
a run for governor in 2018.
“I’m looking at it; I think a
number of good people are,” she
said. “I’m looking at it, but it’s
a little early to decide right
now.”
Harwell said she has been
working toward a “cultural
change” at the state Capitol after
allegations of inappropriate behavior by Rep. Jeremy Durham,
R-Franklin, toward women at
the Legislature.
Durham has denied any
wrongdoing, but last week
stepped down as House majority whip and later withdrew
from the House caucus before
announcing a leave of absence
to seek medical and pastoral
help. Harwell last week called
on Durham to resign and ordered an overhaul of the chamber’s sexual harassment policies
for the first time in 19 years.
“I take this very seriously,”
Harwell said Tuesday. “There is
nothing I could have done prior
to this, because I knew nothing.”
Harwell said she was unable to
act earlier until The Tennessean
last month obtained text messages Durham had sent to two
women after midnight, asking
them to send him pictures. Before that, all rumors about the
lawmaker were just hearsay, she
said.

viewed the crime scene and
started processing with photos
of footprints in the mud and a
set of digital scales.”
He then spoke to one of the
victims, who identified the assailant as Derrick Justin Choate
of Algood.
“[The victim] stated that he
went outside and observed Mr.
Choate in the parking lot and
advised him to leave because he
was not to be on the property,”
the report said.
“Mr. Choate then pulled a
pocket knife out and said, ‘Who
is going to make me leave?’”
A fight ensued, with the victim
hitting Choate and knocking
him to the ground.
Choate then stabbed the victim
in the right side and also
stabbed another person helping
the victim in the left forearm.
The victims were not transported to the hospital.
Choate fled the scene prior to
police arriving and is wanted on
two counts of aggravated assault.
Anyone with information on
Choate’s whereabouts are asked
to call Detective Medlin at 5376830.
Haslam presents $34.8B spending plan
By ERIK SCHELZIG
Associated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) — Republican Gov.
Bill Haslam in his annual State of the
State address proposed what he called
Tennessee’s largest investment in public
education without a tax increase in the
state’s history.
Haslam’s $34.8 billion spending plan
also provides new spending on colleges
and universities, road projects and another large deposit into Tennessee’s emergency budget reserves.
“Our commitment to education continues in a big way tonight,” Haslam told the
joint session of the General Assembly
gathered in the House chamber.
The governor’s plan calls for $261 million in new funding for K-12 education,
including $105 million to pay for teacher
raises that are part of Haslam’s efforts to
make Tennessee the fastest-improving
state in the nation in terms of teacher
salaries.
While the governor took a victory lap on
his administration’s accomplishments inside the chamber, protesters outside sang
and chanted about the failure Haslam’s
proposal last year to expand Medicaid in
Tennessee. Haslam did not mention his
Insure Tennessee proposal to extend
health coverage to 280,000 people during
his 38-minute speech, and has said he
won’t seek to revisit the issue until after
this year’s presidential election.
The governor credited his fiscally conservative spending priorities for putting
the state in a strong budget position. Lawmakers applauded when Haslam noted
that Tennessee has the lowest debt per
capita in the country and that the state is
amid the second-longest period of not
raising its sales tax.
At the same time, Tennessee has cut the
sales tax on groceries, eliminated the es-
tate and gift taxes and reduced the Hall
tax on earnings from stocks and bonds for
senior citizens. Meanwhile, Haslam proposed placing $100 million into budget
reserves that would bring the state’s rainy
day fund to $668 million, its second-highest level on record.
“We’re using taxpayers’ money like we
would use our own,” Haslam said. “We’re
holding in the reins during good times so
we’re prepared during the bad times.”
Haslam’s budget proposal does not include money for some legislative priorities like a new building for the state
library and archives or a deeper cut in the
Hall income tax.
But it also doesn’t incorporate his controversial efforts to outsource more stateowned buildings.
Haslam urged an “all hands on deck approach” toward improving graduation
rates in Tennessee, pushing to give fouryear schools in the Tennessee Board of
Regents more autonomy while refocusing
attention on two-year community and
technical colleges.
Haslam proposed to transfer $130 million from the general fund to pay for
highway projects and maintenance.
That’s about half of the amount diverted
from the highway fund to help bridge
budget gaps about a decade ago. While
Haslam warned that nobody should “fool
themselves into thinking that this comes
close to solving our transportation funding issue,” he has put off proposing a gas
tax increase for the first time since 1989.
Haslam choked up while memorializing
the sailor and four Marines who were
killed in a shooting rampage in Chattanooga last summer.
“None of us will soon forget the tragedy
of last July and the loss of military lives
on Tennessee soil,” Haslam said. “We
also won’t forget how that community responded.”

Rubio’s
the one
Y
ou can pick your headline
for Iowa: “Trump Didn’t
Win!” “Hillary Didn’t
Lose!” “Rubio’s the One!” I prefer the third.
Of course I’ve left some out,
like “Bernie Almost Ties Hillary”
or “Ted Cruz Wins,” but those are
easy. On the first, we’ll have
months to discuss whether this is
really a reflection of Hillary Clinton’s weakness or a product of
the ridiculousness of the process
of selecting a nominee, but that
has to wait until we see what happens in South Carolina and Nevada. As for the second, I’m no
Cruz fan, but the slight is not personal. It’s just that in primary politics, when you win where you’re
supposed to
win — and
indeed have
to win because everyone’s
concluded the
state is tailormade for you
— it’s a big
“So what?”
Did you see
Susan
Clinton cut
right into his
Estrich
victory
speech? Poor
Ted. My prediction is we’ve seen
his high point. The press is going
to pound him with true stories
and accurate quotes. (One of his
colleagues from the Bush 2000
campaign quipped, “Why do people take such an instant dislike to
Ted Cruz? It just saves time.”)
He’ll get that from the press. But
he won’t get the big bounce. I’m
predicting that Rubio does.
Trump’s belated but muchlonged-for show of weakness allows establishment Republicans
to breathe as big a sigh of relief
as Clinton. That’s because those
“establishment Republicans,”
previously known to those on the
other side as “right-wing conservatives,” are now understood to
be moderate and responsible and
interested in winning and governing. (Who knew John Boehner
was a moderate?)
Rubio’s is the best story, because he is the only one of the
three who has any chance of ending up in what Lee Atwater,
George H.W. Bush’s campaign
manager, used to call the “little
boat.” The hypothetical boat has
room only for the few men and
women Americans could imagine
as president (whether or not they
like them). Some 75 percent of
Republican primary voters voted
against Trump. That it was the
much-hated (by fellow Republicans) Cruz who beat him this
time doesn’t prove that Cruz can
win anywhere else, but it does
prove that Trump could also lose
somewhere else. Maybe not in
New Hampshire, but remember,
nobody’s really fighting about
delegates now. Delegates don’t
start mattering in big numbers
until March. It’s who does BTE
(“better than expected”) and who
loses.
Rubio was the first of the top
five candidates — the ones everyone was watching — to take the
stage on Monday. Smart. His version of Bill Clinton’s 1992
“Comeback Kid” speech (when
Bill turned a second-place finish
into a victory by getting out on
television and declaring a moral
victory before the real winner
could claim it) worked like a
charm. Rubio was not facing a
crisis like Clinton was then, but,
politically speaking, the trick was
the same: Turn yourself into the
night’s winner by going out and
claiming — within reason — that
you are the one who did the most
“BTE,” which has always been
the standard course in Iowa.
Iowa is also best known on the
Democratic side for launching not
those expected to win who do but
those who lose by less than expected.
Jimmy Carter, then a littleknown one-term Georgia governor, actually lost to
“Uncommitted” in 1976, but he
was the first of the rest, and that
was close enough. In 1984, Gary
Hart’s campaign really took off
after he lost Iowa but came closer
to Walter Mondale than expected.
And of course, President Lyndon
Johnson was driven from office
after defeating — but not by
enough — Sen. Eugene McCarthy, unleashing a mad and
tragic race for the presidency.
That’s primary politics: the march
of the calendar, the manipulation
of expectations and the amassing
of delegates from a minority of a
minority of voters.
It’s so laden with the potential
for disaster that I am sometimes
surprised that it functions as well
as it does.

Bigger problems ahead for Trump?
D
onald Trump’s supporters
showed up at the Sheraton
Monday night fully expecting
their man to win the Iowa caucuses.
And why shouldn’t they? Trump had
held a lead of varying sizes in 13 of
the last 13 polls listed in the RealClearPolitics average of Iowa polls.
How could that not win?
Months ago, before Trump took the
lead in Iowa, a number of analysts argued that he wasn’t a “good fit” for the
state’s Republican electorate, made up
heavily of voters who describe themselves as born-again evangelical Christians. Then Trump took the lead and
— in the polls at least — fought off
challenges from Ben Carson and eventual winner Ted Cruz. So analysts
thought Trump might not be so bad a
fit after all.
The caucus results — Trump soundly
beaten by Cruz, finishing barely ahead
of Marco Rubio — seemed to confirm
another nagging suspicion about the
Trump campaign: that it had not paid
sufficient attention to turning out its
voters.
Most of the people at the Trump
event had attended caucuses earlier in
the evening. At those caucuses, the
presiding officer asked whether there
was a representative from each campaign present to speak, and, if not,
whether anyone attending would like
to speak on a particular candidate’s behalf. At the caucus I attended, in Pleasant Hill, a suburb just east of Des
Moines, there was no one to speak for
Trump — no representative of the
campaign — and no voter willing to
stand up and speak on his behalf. (The
precinct ended in a Cruz landslide: 110
votes for the Texas senator, versus 36
for Trump and 34 for Rubio.)
At the Sheraton, some Trump supporters had similar stories.
“We were at a caucus and Trump did-
n’t even have anyone there to speak
for him,” one man
told me.
“That’s insane,”
added a man
nearby.
“I was at a caucus, and no one
spoke for him
there, either,”
Byron
added someone

York
I asked everyone
I talked to at the
Sheraton whether they felt Trump had
made any mistakes in the campaign,
like deciding not to attend last Thursday’s Republican debate. Most felt
Trump had made the right call; they
weren’t in the mood to second-guess
their candidate. But in light of the caucus results, the debate decision looms
as a critical error in judgment for
Trump.
In the days leading up to the voting,
when I talked to voters on the fence
between candidates — people who
could possibly be persuaded to support
Trump — one thing became clear:
everybody watched the debate. It was
the only debate held in Iowa, and it
took place in the final days of the campaign, when voters who had been reluctant to pay attention months earlier
had finally become interested and involved. They all tuned in. And Trump
wasn’t there.
“That was the one thing that I thought
was a clear mistake,” Republican blogger Craig Robinson, a former political
director of the state GOP, said in a
phone conversation Monday afternoon. With that one decision, Trump
undermined a lot of the work he had
done in the previous months.
The debate decision showed that
Trump’s political instincts could be
This week’s ‘Storm of the Century’
H
ere’s my question: Can you starve
to death by not eating for one day?
I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure
you can’t. As a matter of fact, they used to
call “not eating for a day” (or longer) fasting, and it was considered a healthy thing
to do occasionally, both physically and
spiritually. Not the near-death experience
it’s considered today. People used to fast all
the time, and some still do it today.
So why do the store shelves look like
they’ve been ransacked by invading Visigoths when the TV weather crew says a
snowstorm is on the way? Do people think
they’ll starve between Friday and Monday?
Maybe I’m the only one on the planet
with this problem, but there is no way I
could put a morsel of extra food in our
fridge or freezer. And it’s not because I
won the Powerball, or because I’m an outof-touch millionaire who spends more
money on food than I should. It’s because
that’s what refrigerators and freezers are
for: storing food. They are there so we
don’t have to run to the grocery store every
single day, or every time something unexpected happens.
Yes, plenty of people lack full-sized refrigerators and freezers, perhaps due to finances. But that’s another issue. What I’m
asking is, why does a place catering to people of means — a store like Whole Foods
— get a run on bread
after news of an impending snowstorm? It
seems to me that a
snowstorm would be a
good time to empty out
the freezer and the
pantry, not cram even
more into them.
Wouldn’t a big snowstorm be the perfect
Jim

Mullen
that’s been sitting in
your cupboard since
Christmas, instead of running to the supermarket in a panic? If a storm hits, it’s not
as if you’re going to be going anywhere. It
would be the perfect time to dig something
out of the bottom of the freezer and use it
before you forget what it is. Isn’t this the
time to try that new recipe you thought
would take too long to make?
Part of this “buy more food” insanity is
driven by television. Weather reporters act
as if the falling snow is the Ebola virus
mixed with drug-resistant TB. “Snow! It’s
the worst thing that could happen to you in
your entire life!! Why, oh why, didn’t we
build snow shelters under every house?
Whose fault is the snow? The governor’s?
The president’s? The Democrats’? The Re-
publicans’?”
Look at that brave reporter out in the
snow. Why don’t they give him a Purple
Heart for that? How many other people
could do that? I mean, besides little children out sledding, old ladies waiting for the
bus that’s already an hour late, and hundreds of thousands of skiers, snowboarders,
ice skaters and hockey players. Oh look,
the reporter’s wearing one of those nice
North Face coats. I wish I could afford that.
Every sentence during the weather report
seems to end with a double exclamation
point. “This could affect 30 million people!!” They make the word “affect” sound
like “kill.” I think the word they should be
using is “inconvenience,” with no exclamation point.
Don’t they remember longing for snow
days when they were children? Do they not
remember how beautiful snow is? How
much fun it is? Yes, it may keep you from
getting to work, but so does a traffic jam.
So does Washington’s birthday. So does a
bad cold. Do any of those make you want
to run to the closest grocery store and buy
all the bread they have?
Instead of panicking, take a look in the
fridge. I’m sure you’ll find something
worth eating.

wrong. But the caucus loss could point
to even more serious problems ahead
for Trump.
Just as fundamentally, Trump’s Iowa
loss could cast doubt on his unconventional tactics in other states. Trump’s
strategy is based on a big bet: that because voters are tired of conventional
politicians, then they will also be resistant to conventional political appeals.
Iowa proved just the opposite. Ted
Cruz won a smashing victory by doing
things the old-fashioned way, visiting
all of Iowa’s 99 counties, pressing the
flesh in gatherings of 100, 150 people,
and tailoring his pitch to appeal to concerned evangelicals. That — plus a
highly sophisticated data operation —
won the day for Cruz. Trump tried
something different, and it didn’t
work.
So Trump now heads to New Hampshire, where, unlike Iowa, his lead in
the polls is enormous — more than 20
points. Will that lead go away on election day, too?
Trump’s first encounter with the voters should probably teach him several
things.
One, never suggest that you’ve got
their support in the bag. Two, show up
at the biggest events. And three, do
everything you can to turn out your
voters.
All that will be important. But even
more critical will be questions about
Trump’s judgment and temperament.
If Iowans who once supported him did
in fact retreat when it came time to
enter the voting booth — if they did in
fact worry that he is just not serious
enough to become president — Trump
has a problem that might not be possible to solve.

Snyder calls for
$30M in state help
for Flint water bills
LANSING, Mich. (AP) —
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is
proposing $30 million in state
funding to help pay the water
bills of Flint residents facing
an emergency over the city’s
lead-contaminated water supply.
Snyder will brief city officials and pastors in Flint about
the proposal Wednesday and
outline it to lawmakers in his
annual budget proposal next
week, according to a statement
his office provided to The Associated Press.
The money would cover the
portion of residential customers’ utility bills for water
used for drinking, cooking,
bathing and washing hands.
Snyder says Flint residents
“will not have to pay for water
they cannot drink.”
The Republican-led Legislature would have to approve
the plan. The state has allocated nearly $39 million in the
current budget year to address
Flint’s crisis.

beating cover-up
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Two sheriff’s deputies have
been convicted of trying to
cover up the beating of a handcuffed inmate at the Los Angeles County jail.
A federal jury convicted Joey
Aguiar and Mariano Ramirez
on Tuesday of falsifying reports. But the panel acquitted
them of conspiracy to violate
civil rights and deadlocked on
another charge.
The deputies could now face
up to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors said that in 2009
the deputies choked, struck,
kicked and pepper-sprayed
handcuffed inmate Bret
Phillips and then wrote reports
indicating he attacked them.
Defense lawyers argued the
deputies used legal force after
Phillips became combative
and threatening.
The deputies were among 21

Tornadoes in the South; snow in Midwest

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) —
Heavy rain prompted an apartment evacuation in northwest
Georgia one day after storms
spawned tornadoes in Mississippi and Alabama and dumped
snow on places farther west.
The National Weather Service, citing a report from an
emergency manager in Catoosa
County, Georgia, said the
apartments being evacuated before dawn Wednesday were
near the town of Fort
Oglethorpe, just south of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and about
110 miles northwest of Atlanta.
No serious injuries were reported in the flooding.
On
Tuesday,
tornadoes
touched down in Mississippi
and Alabama as thunderstorms
swept through the region, while
a powerful snowstorm buried
parts of Colorado and Nebraska
in more than a foot of snow before crawling into the Upper
Midwest.
Greg Flynn, spokesman for
the Mississippi Emergency

confirmed tornado was reported just before 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday in eastern Newton and
Lauderdale counties, largely
rural areas in the eastern part of
the state. Lauderdale County

Report finds record number
of U.S. exonerations in 2015
By JUAN A. LOZANO
Associated Press
Felipe Dana, File | AP
An Aedes aegypti mosquito is photographed through a microscope at the Fiocruz institute in Recife, Pernambuco
state, Brazil. The mosquito behind the Zika virus seems to
operate like a heat-driven missile of disease.
Sexually-transmitted
Zika case confirmed
in state of Texas
DALLAS (AP) — Health officials on Tuesday reported that a
person in Texas has become infected with the Zika virus
through sex in the first case of the
illness being transmitted within
the United States amid the current outbreak in Latin America.
The unidentified person had not
traveled but had sex with a person who had returned from
Venezuela and fallen ill with
Zika, Dallas County health officials said. The U.S. Centers for
Disease Control issued a statement saying lab tests confirmed
the non-traveler was infected
with Zika.
The virus, which has been
linked to birth defects in the
Americas, is primarily spread
through mosquito bites, but investigators had been exploring
the possibility it could be sexually transmitted. There was a report of a Colorado researcher
who picked up the virus in Africa
and apparently spread it to his
wife back home in 2008, and it
was found in one man’s semen in
Tahiti.
“It’s very rare, but this is not
new,” Zachary Thompson, director of the Dallas County Health
and Human Services, told
WFAA-TV in Dallas. “We always looked at the point that this
could be transmitted sexually.”
The CDC says it will issue
guidance in the coming days on
prevention of sexual transmission of Zika virus, focusing on
the male sexual partners of
women who are or may be pregnant.
The CDC has already recommended pregnant women postpone trips to more than two
dozen countries with Zika outbreaks, mostly in Latin America
and the Caribbean, including
Venezuela. It also said other visitors should use insect repellent
and take other precautions to prevent mosquito bites.
In the epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean, the main
villain identified so far is called
Aedes aegypti — a species of
mosquito that spreads other tropical diseases, including chikungunya and dengue fever.
HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S.
saw a record number of exonerations in 2015, with nearly 40
percent of the cases involving
individuals who were exonerated in homicides, a new report

The National Registry of Exonerations said in its report
Wednesday that 149 people
falsely convicted of crimes
were exonerated last year.
That’s 10 more than in 2014,
the year with the previous highest total since the group began
keeping records in 1989. The
registry is a project of the University of Michigan Law
School and has documented
more than 1,730 such cases in
the U.S.
Since 2011, the annual number
of exonerations has more than
doubled and there are now an
average of nearly three exoner-
The hearing Wednesday for
John T. Booker Jr., of Topeka,
was scheduled before U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia to
allow Booker to change his pleas
of not guilty to three charges.
They included attempting to use
prison.
There were homicide exonerations in 25 states and the District of Columbia, with Illinois
having the most (11 exonerations), followed by New York
(9 exonerations) and Alaska (4
exonerations).
The registry’s report also said
there was a record 27 exonerations in 2015 for convictions
based on false confessions, with
22 of those in homicide cases.
Also, 44 of the 58 homicide
case exonerations involved
cases in which there was official misconduct by authorities.
“The thing that is most troubling to me about these cases is
it’s clear that for every innocent
defendant who is convicted and
later exonerated, there are several others who are convicted
who are not exonerated because
almost all the exonerations depend on a great extent on good
fortune, on Lady Luck,” Gross
said.
Obama to make first visit to a U.S. mosque
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s first visit

Texas, the second-most populous state, had the most exonerations with 54. New York, the

Homicides and sex crimes

Shadowy companies, big bucks: Election mystery money returns
WASHINGTON (AP) — Campaign money from
shadowy sources is back this election. More than
$4 million of it channeled to outside groups helping
presidential candidates has come from unknown or
masked donors.
Super political action committees, or super PACs,
helping White House hopefuls like Marco Rubio
and Hillary Clinton received big checks recently
from obscure corporations or from nonprofits that
don’t have to disclose their donors’ names.
A super PAC backing Rubio, a Republican senator
from Florida, benefited from companies with spec-
tral names like “IGX LLC” ($500,000) and “TMCV
#2 LLC” ($90,000). The Associated Press traced
IGX to a New York investor, and the other to an
Idaho billionaire. Meanwhile, Democratic-leaning
American Bridge 21st Century reported more than
$1.5 million from its affiliated nonprofit, which
doesn’t have to name its donors. American Bridge,
which said it used the money to pay for shared expenses like rent and staff, was founded by Clinton
supporter David Brock. The contributions are a reminder of federal court decisions in recent years,
like Citizens United, that loosened prior restrictions

super PAC money so far has paid for pricey political
ads, among other expenses.

presidential-aligned super PACs during the last
three months of 2015. At least half of those were
unrecognizable names like family trusts, real estate
holdings or firms that were far from household
brands. The AP over several days pieced together
who was behind some of the donations by analyzing
more than 80 million campaign finance records,

in Brief
Growth at services companies slowed
By JOSH BOAK
Ryan calls for unity,
less anger from his
fractious GOP
WASHINGTON (AP) —
House Speaker Paul Ryan says
Republicans need to stop
fighting angrily among themselves and not be distracted by
guns or other “hot-button” issues that President Barack
Obama raises.
The Wisconsin Republican
said Wednesday that instead,
the GOP needs to unite behind
a conservative, pro-growth
agenda they can display to
voters in the November elections.
Ryan’s remarks at a Heritage
Action for America policy
meeting followed a year that
saw bitter strife between congressional conservatives and
more pragmatic Republicans
that led to the departure of the
prior speaker, Ohio Rep. John
Boehner.
Despite Ryan’s call for harmony, Republicans may struggle this election year to push a
budget through Congress because of divisions over spending levels.
Ryan said Republicans “can’t
fall into the progressives’ trap
of acting like angry reactionaries.”
North America, China
power GM to record
$9.7b annual profit
DETROIT (AP) — If you’re
an automaker, especially one
from Detroit, conditions probably aren’t going to be better
for you to make a lot of cash.
For General Motors, that’s
what happened last year as the
company posted a record $9.7
billion net profit.
Yes, a good chunk of that
was a $3.9 billion one-time accounting gain due to better
prospects in Europe, but the
company still made billions on
booming sales of its strong
lineup of SUVs and trucks,
mainly in North America.
Earnings were so strong that
most of GM’s 49,600 hourly
workers will get $11,000
profit-sharing checks on Feb.
26. The checks were based on
North American pretax earnings, which hit a record of just
over $11 billion for the year.
Despite the profits, GM’s
stock didn’t get much respect.
Shares fell 94 cents, or 3.1 percent, to $28.71 in morning
trading Wednesday. Investors
haven’t been kind to auto
stocks of late. Even with
record profits, GM shares are
down more than 16 percent in
the past year, and are more
than $4 below the company’s
initial public offering price of
$33 in November of 2010.
Fiat Chrysler recalls
Chargers that can
slip off jacks
DETROIT (AP) — Fiat
Chrysler is recalling more than
a half-million Dodge Chargers
worldwide because they can
slip off of a jack when tires are
being changed.
The recall covers Chargers
from the 2011 to 2016 model
years and includes almost
442,000 cars in the United
States.
The company says the body
beneath the doors can become
deformed during jack use,
making the cars unstable. Fiat
Chrysler is doing the recall because an analysis of warranty
claims showed that they could
fall from jacks. The company
says it knows of three minor
injuries from the problem.
Fiat Chrysler will provide
wheel chocks free of charge to
keep the cars stable during
jacking. Customers will be notified when they can get the
chocks.

AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — A private survey says U.S. services
companies grew in January at the
slowest rate in nearly two years,
as global economic challenges
are showing some signs of
spreading to consumers.
The Institute for Supply Management said that its services
index fell to 53.5 last month from
55.8 in December.
The January figure was the lowest since February 2014, when it
was 52.6. Still, any reading
above 50 signals that services
firms are expanding.
“It’s a little bit of a cooling off,”
said Anthony Nieves, chair of the
ISM non-manufacturing business
survey committee. But Nieves
stressed, “As long as we’re staying above the 50 baseline, things
are still going in the right direction.”
The U.S. economy is off to a
rocky start in 2016. Stocks have
plunged. Manufacturing activity
fell in January for the fourth consecutive month.
U.S. growth economic growth
slowed sharply in the final
months of 2015. China, Japan,
Europe and Brazil face more immediate financial challenges.
Still, the U.S. services sector
has been a source of stability
amid the turmoil.
The ISM index has been expanding for the past six years, its
gains dovetailing with the recovery from the recession. An improving services sector has
coincided with a healthy dose of
hiring, as employers added
292,000 workers to their payrolls
in December. The unemployment
rate held at 5 percent.
Economists say the government

jobs report for January to be released Friday should show another 200,000 jobs added.
The majority of respondents to
the survey for the services index
were positive about business
conditions. But they expressed
concern about the global economy and turbulent stock market
eroding consumer confidence.
The services survey showed
continued but slower growth for
business activity, new orders and
employment.
Falling oil prices have hurt U.S.
exports and factories, yet that has
meant more breathing room for
consumers, whose wages have
barely budged. Gasoline costs
have tumbled 13 percent over the
past year to a national average of
$1.79 a gallon, according to the
AAA Daily Fuel Gauge.
The troubled global economy
walloped the United States in the
October-December quarter of last
year.
Annual economic growth
slowed to a rate of 0.7 percent
from 2 percent in the prior quarter. Consumer spending, business
investment and exports each decelerated as 2015 ended.
Manufacturing remains the primary drag.
The ISM’s index of factory ac-
tivity inched up to 48.2 from a revised 48 in December, but any
reading below 50 signals a contraction. The index has stayed
below 50 since September.
The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers.
Its services survey covers businesses that employ the vast majority of workers, including
retail, construction, health care
and financial services companies.
Cosby arrives for Day 2 of bid to get sex charges thrown out
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Bill Cosby
arrived in court Wednesday for Day 2 of
his bid to get the sexual assault case
against him thrown out over an unwritten
promise of immunity that a previous district attorney says he gave Cosby’s nowdead lawyer a decade ago.
Supporters yelled “We love you, Bill!”
as the 78-year-old comedian made his way
slowly into the courthouse with assistants
to either side of him. Cosby uses a cane,
and his eyesight is said to be deteriorating.
Cosby, 78, was arrested and charged in
December with drugging and violating
former Temple University athletic department employee Andrea Constand at his
suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004.
He could get up to 10 years in prison if
convicted.
On Tuesday, Judge Steven T. O’Neill
puzzled over the testimony of former District Attorney Bruce Castor and peppered
him with questions as Castor wrapped up
hours of testimony as the star witness for
the defense at the pre-trial hearing.
Castor testified that he believed Constand’s story but found serious flaws in the
case in 2005 and declined to bring
charges. He said that as district attorney,
he considered the decision final and binding “for all time” on his successors.
Castor suggested that Cosby and his
then-lawyer, Walter Phillips, had the same
understanding because the comic later
agreed to testify without invoking his
Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in a lawsuit brought against
him by Constand.
“Cosby would’ve had to have been nuts
to say those things if there was any chance
he could’ve been prosecuted,” Castor said,
referring to the damaging testimony from
a deposition unsealed last summer.
Phillips died last year.
Castor said that in ruling out any prosecution of Cosby, he hoped to prod the TV
star to testify in the lawsuit. “I was hopeful that I had made Ms. Constand a millionaire,” he said. Constand eventually
settled for an undisclosed sum.
“If there was an agreement, why didn’t
you make that agreement in writing?” the
judge asked Castor.
“It was unnecessary because I concluded
there was no way the case would get any
better,” he said. He also said Cosby was
afraid such an agreement would make him
look bad.
Kevin Steele, the newly elected district
attorney who is pursuing the case, has said
Cosby would need an immunity agreement in writing to get the case thrown out.
The judge said he hoped to rule Tuesday
on the request to dismiss the charges.
Dozens of women have accused Cosby
of drugging and sexually assaulting them
since the 1960s, destroying his good-guy
image as America’s Dad.

Woman on
egg donor
registry need

her status
G
D
EAR ABBY: I recently
decided that I wanted to
help an infertile couple
conceive by becoming an egg
donor. I’m well-educated and
have a job I love. I understand
the commitment both time-wise
and emotionally. I am now part
of a registry, and I could be selected for a donation at any
time.
Like other young women, I
am dating. However, I am conflicted about whether to tell my
dates about my involvement
with egg donation and if so,
how. I understand that this is
extremely personal, but at the
same time I could have genetic
offspring
out there.

DEAR

not think it
would be
appropriate
to share
Abigail
this inforVan Buren
mation with
any man
you are seeing casually. However, if a relationship becomes
serious, you should discuss it.
A way to start the conversation
would be to say, “It’s said that
the most meaningful gift a person can give is a gift of self.
Well, I have taken it literally.”
DEAR ABBY: My 22-yearold daughter, a recent college
graduate, is back living at
home. She has been bringing
her boyfriends home and having sex in her room. I have a
real problem with it. There are
younger children living here.
My husband is not aware of
what goes on behind her closed
doors at night. How should I
handle this? — STILL UNDER

DEAR STILL: If you prefer
not to involve your husband in
this, have a private chat with
your daughter and tell her you
are not comfortable with her
entertaining her boyfriends in
your home in the manner you

she wants to have sex, she
should do it elsewhere — but
not under your roof with

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend
of two years was offered the
opportunity to travel to Nepal
for a month-long stay. Leading
up to the trip I tried not to be
jealous, but I did say some
childish things like, “You’re
leaving me for a mountain?”
However, before she left, I told
her I knew it was a great opportunity and that she should enjoy
herself.
She emailed me a couple of
nights ago about how she and
two of her male guides went to
a bar together where she got
drunk. They plan on going to
the club again later during the
trip.
I trust my girlfriend, but I
can’t help but worry that she
may be taken advantage of. I
didn’t mention my concerns
and even encouraged her to go
and have fun. But am I wrong
to feel worried? Am I being insecure? — LEFT AT HOME IN
FLORIDA
DEAR LEFT AT HOME:
You’re not wrong to feel worried. Under the circumstances,
it’s only normal. Does your
girlfriend drink at home? And if
she does, how does it affect
her? At high altitudes the effects of alcohol can be magnified.
It’s one thing to be openminded and quite another to be
so open-minded your brains fall
out. Rather than encourage her,
you should have warned her to
be careful because what she did
was risky. As for feeling insecure, at this point you’re entitled to feel that way.

Dancers snag top honors in competition
By MEGAN TROTTER
COOKEVILLE — The senior company
dancers from The Centre School of
Dance in Cookeville has returned home
with the prestegious title of “Rising
Stars” from the recent Dance Revolution
in North Carolina. Dance Revolution, a
Christian dance convention, is held four
times a year in the United States. This latest gathering brought in groups of
dancers from Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. After a
weekend of classes, the groups got the
chance to perform for the professional
judges.
“They choose their favorite one — the
one they feel was the best of the night —
and they give them the title of ‘Rising
Stars,” said Andrea Camacho, who is the
director of The Centre School of Dance
with her husband Caleb. “Then those
dancers get to come back and dance with
the faculty the next day.”
This year, the group from The Centre
that contained high school students from
Putnam County was the one to snag the
title after going up against 39 other
groups. They performed a modern piece
that they had worked hard to perfect with
classes three days a week, and a two-hour
rehearsal each week. They normally perform for churches, nursing homes and
events like Fall Fun Fest.
“Dance Revolution is their biggest performance of the year in front of a total
different audience,” Camacho said. “This
year our motto is ‘Passion, Power, Purpose.’ The dancers started meeting together on their own and really pouring
their hearts into everything they were
doing. Some of them were crying on the
stage. What we do is worship-based.
They just really became a team and
pulled together and gave their all, and it
was recognized. I think that’s the real victory, and I think our younger students can
see that too. They’re an inspiration to others.”
The win comes on the heels of The Centre’s becoming affiliated with the More
Than Just Great Dancing program that
encourages the dancers to not just focus
on the dance but also the morals and values that they will use the rest of their life,
even if they don’t pursue dancing as a career.
“I love that last year being the first year
that we did ‘More Than Just Great Dancing’ and this competition being the one
where the girls were recognized,” Camacho said. “I really think they were recognized for the bonding together and the
unity of their hearts and the putting their
passion into it. It really came full circle.
It was about more than just the dance
steps, and I think that’s what the judges
picked up on.”

Super Bowl ads this year might be a snooze
By MAE ANDERSON
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — No GoDaddy.
Not a bikini in sight. Service messages
instead of crotch or fart jokes. As the
Super Bowl turns 50 and faces middle
age, will this be the year that advertisers
stick to — gasp — good taste?
The Super Bowl remains advertising’s
biggest stage, especially as the broadcast
TV audience fragments further thanks to
Netflix and other on-demand TV services. Advertisers are spending as much as
an estimated $5 million per 30 seconds to
capture more than 114 million viewers
expected to tune in. Debate over the
game-day ads will start on social media
before the game and carry over to work
the next day, so it’s crucial to stand out,
without going so far as to offend.
But this year, amplifying a trend seen
the past few years, advertisers seem to be
playing it extra safe. And that might
mean a repeat of last year’s “Somber
Bowl,” when viewers were turned off by
too-serious ads.
Distinguished British actress Helen
Mirren will deliver a lecture about
drunken driving and why it’s a terrible
idea. Many others are going with anthemic or public service-style messages:
Colgate Palmolive will urge viewers to
“Save Water,” while outdoor brand Marmot urges people to spend more time outside and BMW showcases people who
“Defy Labels.”
Slapstick, crass humor and sex seem to
be relegated to the sidelines. Internet address provider GoDaddy, which for 11
years walked the line of bad taste with
ads that showed skimpily clad women
and an extremely long close up of a kiss,
is sitting it out, citing the need for more
targeted advertising.
“People want to be entertained. They
don’t want somber messages or to be reminded of their problems,” said veteran
ad man Richard Kirshenbaum, CEO of
ad agency NSG/SWAT. “The Super Bowl
is America’s great campfire. People want
to gather around and have a great time.”
Of course, light-hearted humor will be
in abundance when the Carolina Panthers
and the Denver Broncos face off on CBS
on Sunday. There are the requisite talking
animals and celebrities galore. Doritos’
ad shows dogs trying to check out at a
grocery store, and Ryan Reynolds plays
all of the residents in a town called
“Ryanville” for Hyundai, for example.
And there are still several major advertisers, including Chrysler and Coca-Cola,
whose super-secret ads could deliver big
surprises.
Cinematic or serious ads can be Super
bowl hits. Chrysler has garnered kudos
for years for its spots about American engineering and its cars featuring stars like
Eminem and Clint Eastwood. Attaching
your brand to a social cause can be a way
to engender goodwill.
But advertisers can’t afford another crop
of ads like last year. Those ads struck
viewers as depressing, most notably a
dark PSA from insurer Nationwide. It
featured a child’s death to highlight the
risks of preventable household accidents.
(Nationwide is not returning this year.)
“The Nationwide ad sucked the oxygen
out of the room at every Super Bowl
Party in America,” said Peter Daboll,
CEO of AceMetrix, which measures the
advertising effectiveness.
Squarespace is one advertiser that is
sticking to comedy, enlisting comedy duo
Key & Peele to promote its website services. Last year’s ad starred Jeff Bridges
meditating in a couple’s bedroom that
was deemed by some as too esoteric.
ran, why is this fat pencil
in here?” Elsie, my eightyear-old Grand, held a
thick yellow pencil from my
kitchen desk pencil and pen jar.
“I like it,” I said.
Elsie opened her eyes wide.
“Really? This is for little kids.”
“And for grown-ups whose fingers don’t work as well as they
once did. I’ll use it. You can
choose another.” She picked a
number two pencil that had a
rubber gripper near the sharpened point and she shoved that
gripper close to the eraser. I
made my grocery list; she
worked on her math schoolwork.
Fat pencils and fat pens — my
choice for writing. Fat ballpoint
pens with rubber grips fit my
hand best and when they’re
given as marketing products, I
always ask for more than one. I
want tools

now I just pull out my handydandy bottle opener that looks
like a giant Y. No matter how big
or small, the jar top fits between
the V-shape on the opener and its
teeth grasp the lid. I give a twist,
and voila — the jar lid loosens.
Pampered Chef advertises this
product as great gifts for
grandma. True.
A funny looking knife is another tool I’ve added to my
kitchen. Jo Ann, my college
roommate, held the strangest
knife. The blade and handle were
positioned at an angle — almost
a right angle. She grasped the fat
handle with all four fingers
meeting her thumb and easily
sliced a cucumber. A description
of such as knife reads, “Keeps
the wrist in a neutral position.
Ergonomic handle provides a
firm grip in either hand. Designed especially for people with
weak hands or wrists, but is
comfortable for all users.” Weak
hands? I’m not sure about that
but I know my odd looking knife
surely makes cutting and carving
easier.
Anyone else have trouble opening a medicine bottle? The last
one I tried to open labeled with
instructions to push down and
turn, I cussed. The push down, I
got. The turn, I didn’t. Sick with
a sinus infection and running a
fever, I couldn’t get a little pink
pill out of the bottle. I pushed
with one hand and tried to turn
with the other. I pried the top
with an old-fashioned bottle
opener, forcing the small triangle
end under the lid. It didn’t
budge. I tried to turn with a pair
of pliers. I couldn’t push down,
hold the bottle and pliers all at
the same time — I needed another hand. About the time I considered smashing the plastic
bottle with a hammer, Husband
came home from work and
pushed and turned.
When I shared my frustration
with my pharmacist, he nodded.
“We can fix that. I’ll make a note
to not put child resistant lids on
all your bottles. Just keep them
out of reach of children.” So
now, I get those easy flip off lids
and medicine bottles are stored
on high shelves.
Fat pens and pencils. Funny
looking knives. Flip top pill lids.
I’m thankful for tools that work
well with stiff fingers, lazy grips,
and wrists that don’t bend as
they once did.
But my newest favorite kitchen
gadget I can use easily and both
the Grands and I think it’s fun.

Afghan insurgents
kill 10-year-old boy
who joined militia
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP)
— A 10-year-old Afghan boy
who was declared a hero after
fighting the Taliban has been
shot dead by insurgents while
on his way to school, officials
said on Wednesday.
The deputy police chief of the
province, Rahimullah Khan,
said the boy, Wasil Ahmad,
was killed in Tirin Kot, the
capital of the southern Uruzgan province.
The boy had fought Taliban
alongside his uncle on many
occasions, Khan said. Photographs on social media showed
ten-year-old Ahmad holding an
automatic weapon and wearing
uniform and a helmet.
Khan said that unknown gunmen he referred to only as insurgents had killed the boy
near his home.
Ahmad’s uncle was formerly
a Taliban commander who
changed allegiance to the government and was appointed
local police commander in
Khas Uruzgan district, Khan
said. The use of child soldiers
is illegal in Afghanistan, but
the charity Child Soldiers International says both government forces and insurgents
have been recruiting minors
for years.
Eurozone economy
'losing steam' amid
market turmoil
LONDON (AP) — The economic recovery in the 19country eurozone lost steam in
January, a closely watched survey found Wednesday, a sign
that the turmoil in global financial markets is beginning to
weigh on business activity.
Financial information company Markit said its purchasing managers’ index — a broad
gauge of activity across both
the manufacturing and services
sectors — fell to a four-month
low of 53.6 points in January
from 54.3 the previous month.
According to Markit, that
means the region has started
off the year growing at a modest 0.4 percent quarterly tick.
Rates of growth also diverged,
with Spain once again leading
the pack, followed by Germany. France appears to be
stagnating. Though the index
remains above the 50-point
threshold that indicates expansion, the survey found evidence that business activity,
orders and employment are all
losing momentum. The survey
also noted a bigger drag on
prices despite the stimulus
measures the European Central
Bank has pursued over the past
year to push them higher.
South Korea warns
North Korea not to
launch satellite
SEOUL, South Korea (AP)
— South Korea warned on
Wednesday of “searing” consequences if North Korea
doesn’t abandon plans to
launch a long-range rocket that
critics call a banned test of ballistic missile technology.
The South’s rhetoric about
unspecified harsh consequences comes less than a
month after North Korea’s defiant fourth nuclear test and as
diplomats at the U.N. work on
strong new sanctions against
the North.
North Korea on Tuesday informed international organizations of its plans to launch an
Earth observation satellite on a
rocket between Feb. 8 and 25,
and if North Korea’s past patterns are any clue, angry warnings by its neighbors and
Washington probably won’t
dissuade a coming launch.
The launch declaration,
which is meant to warn civilians, shipping and aircraft in
the area about the rocket and
falling debris, follows North
Korea’s disputed claim on Jan.
6 to have tested a hydrogen
bomb, the country’s fourth nuclear test.
Slaying suspect facing more serious charge
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — A
Virginia Tech student who was
initially accused of helping dispose of 13-year-old Nicole
Lovell’s body is now believed by
authorities to have played a bigger role in the girl’s stabbing
death.
Just exactly what Natalie Keepers is accused of doing still hasn’t
been explained. She faces a bail
hearing Wednesday, a day after
prosecutors added a more serious
charge of being an accessory “before the fact” to first-degree murder. Her classmate, David
Eisenhauer, is jailed on charges
of kidnapping and murder.
Both Eisenhauer and Keepers
graduated from nearby high
schools in Maryland.
A neighbor said the seventhgrader told friends she would
sneak out to meet her
“boyfriend” David, an 18-yearold she met online through the
Kik messaging app.
Nicole’s mother discovered her
missing last Wednesday morning, setting off an intense hunt for
the girl, who suffered bullying at
school and online over her
weight and a tracheotomy scar,
and needed daily medication
after surviving a liver transplant,
lymphoma and a drug-resistant
bacterial infection as a 5-yearold.
Police quickly zeroed in on
Eisenhauer, and then found
Nicole’s body Saturday, hidden
off a North Carolina road, two
hours south of campus.
Eisenhauer told police he believed the “truth will set me free”

Drought
rules
extended
By SCOTT SMITH
Associated Press
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — State
water regulators voted to extend
emergency conservation measures because of a drought, even
though an increase in rain and
snow this winter has improved
California’s snowpack.
But with the drought still severe, conservations efforts fell
off in December. Officials said
Tuesday that residents used 18
percent less water than in December 2013, but that was the
worst showing in seven months
of tracking and fell well short of
Gov. Jerry Brown’s goal of 25
percent.
It’s also the third straight month
that the state missed its target.
California, however, will likely
beat its long-term conservation
goal, saving a combined 25.5
percent since Brown issued the
mandate in June calling for savings from 2013 use rates, the
State Water Resources Control
Board reported.
State water managers are looking ahead to April 1 — when the
Sierra Nevada snowpack is historically at its deepest before
melting and feeding rivers and
streams and replenishing depleted reservoirs.
The snowpack’s depth then will
signal whether drought conditions are easing after the state’s
driest four-year period on record.
“We’re at halftime,” water
board chair Felicia Marcus said
in an interview. “We’re not doing
too badly, but we certainly
haven’t won the game yet.”
The water content of the snowpack on Tuesday measured 130
Snider said she learned all this
from her girls only after Nicole
vanished. “I would have told her
mother. But we didn’t know
nothing about it until she came
up missing, unfortunately,” she
said.

percent of its historical average
for this time of year.
Under a light snowfall, snowpack survey chief Frank Gehrke
plunged a measuring pole into 76
inches of snow near Echo Summit in the Central Sierra region
that includes Lake Tahoe.
“It’s certainly a very encouraging start to the winter,” said
Gehrke, chief of the California
Cooperative Snow Surveys Program for the Department of
Water Resources.
Still, he said, the state needs to
see storms each week to ease the
drought. The snowpack provides
nearly one-third of California’s
water supply.
An electronic measurement collected by more than 100 sensors
throughout the Sierra has shown
the snowpack at 114 percent.
Officials say that despite the El
Nino rain storms, California’s
major reservoirs remain critically
low, requiring continued conservation.
Under the extended drought
regulation, cities that are especially hot, dry or crowded or that
have managed to come up with
new sources of water would get

SEATTLE (AP) — Three teen
brothers suspected in a drug-related shooting that left two people dead and three wounded at
a well-known Seattle homeless
camp will remain in custody.
The killings came as the city
struggles with a surge of people
living on the streets.
The suspects — ages 13, 16
and 17 — were arrested Monday in what police have described as a targeted shooting at
the longstanding encampment
known as the Jungle, about a
mile from downtown.
A judge on Tuesday found
probable cause to hold the
brothers on investigation of
felony murder, assault and
firearms violations. The teens
are homeless and reportedly
lived in tents with their mother
near the camp where the slayings occurred, a Seattle police
detective wrote in a probable
cause statement. Only the oldest
teen appeared in King County
Juvenile Court. The others
waived their court appearances
through their attorneys.
The Associated Press typically
does not name minors accused
of crimes.
Police believe the Jan. 26
killings stemmed from a lowlevel drug deal and that the suspects and victims knew each
other or knew of each other. According to the probable cause
statement, the teens reportedly
told an informant that one of the
victims “owed their mother
500.00 dollars from a drug deal
and they went to collect for
her.” One teen also reportedly
told a witness that he took
heroin and cash.
Katherine Hurley, a lawyer
representing the 13-year-old
boy, said after Tuesday’s court
hearing that there is limited information at this time, and “it’s
important that we don’t jump to
conclusions in this very tragic
situation.”
Ammon Bundy: Oregon
refuge ‘belongs to the people’
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —
The leader of an armed group
that took over an Oregon
wildlife preserve to protest federal land policies is remaining
defiant behind bars.
While Ammon Bundy on
Tuesday again urged four holdouts at the refuge to leave, he
said local residents should control the federally owned prop-
erty and U.S. officials do not belong there.
Bundy said the FBI and Oregon State Police surrounding
Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge are leading an “armed
occupation,” words typically reserved for the ranchers and others that launched the standoff on
Jan. 2. He said the refuge “belongs to the people.”
EU and U.S. reach new data-sharing agreement
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European
Union and the United States struck a deal
Tuesday over data-sharing that will allow
the likes of Facebook and Apple to continue sending people’s information across
the Atlantic — but a legal challenge of the
pact is widely anticipated.
The sides had been trying to forge an
agreement since October, when Europe’s
top court ruled against the previous pact
— known as Safe Harbor — amid concerns that Europeans’ personal data stored
by companies in the U.S. might be exposed to spying by U.S. intelligence
agencies.
The new deal, once put in place, poten-
tially brings an end to a period of uncertainty that had raised the prospect of legal
challenges by individuals across the 28country EU worried about privacy.
“Our people can be sure that their personal data is fully protected,” said Andrus
Ansip, the European Commissioner responsible for the digital single market.
“Our businesses, especially the smallest
ones, have the legal certainty they need to
develop their activities across the Atlantic.”
Ansip said the new framework, which
will be known as EU-US Privacy Shield,
will ensure the “right checks and balances” for European citizens and added
that it “offers significant improvements”
to the previous deal, which had been
struck in the early days of the Internet at
the turn of the century.
“This solution is much better than the
one we had in the year 2000,” he said.
Under the new deal, there will be an annual joint review of the data-sharing pact,
with the first expected sometime next
year.
The U.S. has also promised to appoint a
new official — a so-called ombudsman
based at the State Department — responsible for following up on complaints upon
referral from EU data protection officers.
“It’s Safe Harbor with teeth,” said
Dyann Heward-Mills, Head of Data Protection at London-based legal firm Baker
& McKenzie.
“I think this is good for business certainty and consumer trust.”
In its October decision, the European
Court of Justice declared the Safe Harbor
pact was invalid because it did not adequately protect consumers when their
data was stored in the U.S., in light of the
spying revelations made by Edward
Snowden, a former contractor at the
U.S.’s National Security Agency. Snowden’s revelations had prompted the complaint to the court from an Austrian law
student, Max Schrems.

COOKEVILLE — The phone calls began
arriving early Wednesday morning for the
Golden Eagle football coaching staff on
2016 NCAA National
Signing Day, receiving
word that national letters
of intent (NLI) have been
signed and delivered by
recruits who will make
up head coach Marcus
Football
Satterfield’s first signing
class.
By mid-morning, the class was completed
with all 19 players in the fold.
“I’m very excited about this group,” Satterfield said. “Our staff did an unbelievable
job, in a short amount of time, in identifying the type of student-athletes that we
were looking for.”
“Our first signing day was exhilarating,”
Satterfield said. “When the calls came in to
alert us that the NLI was on the way, then
when the NLI came in and we hung them
on the wall, we were giving each other
five, and hugging each other like a bunch
of kids that just scored a touchdown on the
playground.
“To see all the hard work that our staff did
come to fruition was great to be a part of,”
Satterfield said. “For it to happen this
quickly, with such high quality kids, it was
magical, it was electric. We had some
drama in the morning, but it ended up all
working out for us. It was a great day for
the Golden Eagles.”
The incoming Golden Eagles come from
seven different states and are projected to
fill eight different positions. Ten of the 19
come out of Tennessee high schools, with
three from Florida and two from Alabama.
Tech signed one player each from Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina and
Arkansas.
The makeup of the class incudes five linebackers, three offensive linemen, three defensive backs, two each at tight end,
running back and defensive line, one wide
receiver and one quarterback.

MONTEREY — With the recent winter weather,
the Monterey basketball teams had to combine
Senior Night with basketball Homecoming.
And while there was plenty to celebrate, it was
Clarkrange who came away with two victories on
Tuesday night at Burks Middle School.
The Lady Buffaloes took the first game 36-18,
while the Buffaloes pulled away in the second
quarter and held on to a 56-45 win in the nightcap.
Before the contest, senior Makenzie Hite was
crowned the basketball Homecoming queen, then she scored
four points in the contest, before
getting honored with sister Taylor for Senior Night after the
game.
Taylor Hite led MHS (6-19, 06 7-A) with six points.
“You can’t say enough about the two Hite girls,”
said MHS girls head coach Todd Hess. “They’re
wonderful. I’ve had them in spring ball, summer
ball since they were in the sixth grade. They’ve
just been wonderful assets to our program and
they’re going to be greatly missed.”
But it was a defensive struggle for the most part
because neither team was getting many baskets to
fall.
“I was very proud with how hard we played,”
said Hess. “I thought our defense was outstanding.
Our offense wasn’t very outstanding at all. Our 3for-8 at the foul line really sticks out when I look
at it. But defensively, I couldn’t be any more
prouder of these girls. They played very hard.”
And to hold a typically explosive Clarkrange
team to single digits in three of the four quarters?
That certainly was a gutsy effort.
“It was,” Hess said, “but we just couldn’t score.
We hit one 3-pointer, and, down low, we just
weren’t very good either. We were battling. And,
again, at the free-throw line, if we had hit a few
more of those, it could have been a different
game.”
Clarkrange head coach Lamar Rogers saw it as
a continuation of the team’s latest woes.
“We didn’t play very well on Saturday (in a 6652 loss at Oneida),” Rogers said, “and I started
four freshmen. Coach Hess does a good job and
we just weren’t focused the way we should have

Cookeville’s Bryric Savage powers his way for a basket during the Cavaliers’ 71-67
win over Pickett County in overtime on Tuesday at CHS.
COOKEVILLE — Cookeville swept Pickett
County on Tuesday night as the Cavs needed extra
time to edge out the Bobcats 71-67, and the Lady
Cavs refused to let the Lady Bobcats come all the
way back as they defeated Pickett County 75-65.
The Cavs (19-6, 5-2 6-AAA) free throw shooting
down the stretch was less than
satisfactory as they only made 2of-10 in the second half, but
Noah Hilliker was able to knock
down four free throws in the
overtime period to help lift the
Cavs past the Bobcats (14-8, 2-4
7-A).
“Well, to be honest, 17-of-31 is about our season
average,” CHS head coach Kevin Bray commented on their free throw shooting. “but missing
six in a row in the fourth is concerning. That’s
something that’s been that way all season.”
The Cavs outrebounded the Bobcats 40-26 and
was due in large part to Bryric Savage and Jacob
Wilberscheid. Savage posted yet another doubledouble with a team-high 22 points and 16 rebounds, while Wilberscheid flirted with a
triple-double as he tallied 14 points, nine rebounds,
and seven assists.
Also helping out were Noah Hilliker, who scored
16 points and was the only player to shoot 100 percent from the free throw line, and Trey Bundrant
with 14 points and a team-high three 3-pointers.
John Michael Ferrell led the Bobcats with 21
points and was helped out by postman Blake
Hughes with 17 points and long-range sniper Dawson Abbott with 16.

TENNESSEE BASKETBALL
Tennessee rallies from 21 down to stun No. 20 Kentucky
By STEVE MEGARGEE
AP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE (AP) — What started
out as a potential blowout loss developed into one of the most monumental
comebacks in Tennessee history.
Kevin Punter Jr.
scored 27 points and
Armani Moore added
18 points and 13 rebounds Tuesday night
as Tennessee erased a 21-point deficit in
an 84-77 upset of No. 20 Kentucky.
Tennessee’s rally represented a stunning turn of events for a team that had
lost its last two games despite leading by
at least 14 points in the second half of
each. The Volunteers (11-11, 4-5 Southeastern Conference) trailed 34-13 with
less than 6 minutes left in the first half.
“We kind of joked around about it, we
actually said we liked it better being
down instead of being up at the half,”
Moore said. “It kind of makes us a
whole lot hungrier.”
Tennessee’s media guide doesn’t include a list of its biggest comebacks
ever, but athletic department spokesman
Tom Satkowiak said he believes the 21point deficit was the largest margin the
Vols have erased in a victory since at
least December 2006. This matched the
seventh-biggest comeback by any Division I team this season, according to
STATS LLC.
This marked the second straight defeat
for Kentucky (16-6, 6-3), which got 21
points from Jamal Murray and 20 from
Tyler Ulis. The Wildcats fell 90-84 in
overtime Saturday at No. 7 Kansas,
which was ranked fourth at the time.
“We had them down by 21 — and they
came back and beat our brains in,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “They
ended up beating us by 30 in about 25
minutes — and it could have been 50.
We’ve got a ways to go.”
The score was tied 70-all until Robert
Hubbs III made a free throw with 5:04
left to start a 7-0 run that put Tennessee
ahead for good. Kentucky couldn’t cut
the margin below three points the rest of
the way.
Kentucky seemed on the verge of putting this game out of reach early. But
after trailing by 21, Tennessee used a 100 run to get within striking distance and
cut Kentucky’s lead to 42-36 by halftime.
“I kept glancing over at the scoreboard
and I kept looking up there and we were
cutting into it, cutting into it,” Punter
said. “We hit a few shots and got going,
and we were down like six.”
The Vols pulled ahead on Detrick
Mostella’s 3-pointer with 14:09 left.
Kentucky regained the lead when Ulis
and Derek Willis hit 3-pointers on the
next two possessions, but Tennessee
kept clawing back and regained the lead
at 65-63 on Hubbs’ basket with 9:41 remaining.
Although Kentucky tied the score at
70-all, the Wildcats wouldn’t lead again.
“I just thought our guys really deserve
all the credit in the world, the way they
hung in,” Tennessee coach Rick Barnes
said. “Obviously we weren’t playing
very well early, but they stayed with it.
They really did. There wasn’t one person who played that game who didn’t
help us some way, somehow.”
Mostella had 13 points and Admiral
Schofield added 11 points and eight rebounds for Tennessee. Alex Poythress
had 12 of his 14 points in the first half
for Kentucky.
TIP-INS
Kentucky: The Wildcats are 151-68 in
this series. Kentucky has lost to Tennessee more than any other team.

swept visiting Livingston
Academy on Tuesday.
The Lady Owls claimed a
55-52 win, while the district
leading Owls claimed a 6356 win in the nightcap.
In the opener, SCHS never

point in the
game did the

play and hit both free throws
to make it 55-52.
LA rushed the ball down the
floor, but was unable to get a
shot to tie at time expired.
SCHS (14-8, 8-2 8-AA)
was led by Hix with 19

more than four points separated the two clubs.
Livingston led most of the
first half, only to see
Cameron Huff hit a trey at
the buzzer giving the Owls a
24-23 halftime edge.

lead in the third quarter and
held a 34-33 lead going to
the final eight minutes.
Smith County regained the
lead and pushed out to a fivepoint advantage in the first

Fresh scored 18, Cade Crosland added
15, Mitchell Lamb scored 11 and Jared
Carter chipped in with 10.
CHS: Savage led Lady Cavs with 19 points
From Page B1
The Cavs got off to a good start as
they built a first quarter advantage
of three points at 14-11, and then
they improved that lead to nine
points by the end of the half at 2920.
However, in the second half, the
Bobcats started to make little
comebacks here and there to show
they were still in the game.
The Bobcats scored the first nine
points of the third quarter to tie the
game up pretty quickly, and Blake
Hughes’ layup midway through the
third even gave the Bobcats their
first lead of the second half at 3837.
The lead changed hands several
times (13 times throughout the
whole game) and the Bobcats led at
the end of the third quarter 49-47.
Just two minutes into the fourth
quarter, Hilliker tied the game at 51
with a layup, and at the 2:55 mark,
Savage took the lead back for the
Cavs at 56-55.
The Cavs found themselves down
three points with one minute to go
when Hilliker sunk a huge three to
tie the game at 61.
The Bobcats wasted most of the
final minute trying to make sure
they got the last shot.
And they missed.
The Cavs’ lob pass to the middle
of the court was intercepted and
overtime commenced.
Hilliker made his four free throws
in overtime, and with some help
from Wilberscheid, Gist, and Jacob
Reeves, the Cavs edged out the
Bobcats.
Well, Pickett County came in here
and took it to us,” Bray commented. “They came out the third
quarter and played like a very seasoned and experienced team. I
know they have some young players, so my hat’s off to coach
(Nathan) Aaron and his team becuase they really came in here and
played hard.”
On the girls side, the Lady Bobcats (19-2, 6-0 6-AAA) hung
around, but the Lady Cavs (15-9, 43 6-AAA) kept up an average of a
10-point lead and finished the
game strong.
The Lady Cavs had one of their
best nights shooting as they hit 64
percent of their shots from inside
the arc and 44 percent from behind
it. The Lady Cavs also shot 46 percent from the free throw line, but
they missed 11-of-19 in the fourth
quarter.
“I think, you contribute a lot of
that to fatigue,” CHS head coach
Mindy Odom comented. “I’ve
never seen my five sitting in front
of me as tired as they were tonight.
It hurts us, because our depth is not
as much as we’d like for it to be at
times and games like this where

every possesion is important. They
were super tired but they dug
deep.”
Courtney Savage had her best
game of the season for the Lady
Cavs as she scored 19 points and
brought down six rebounds. Savage was helped by Sydney Bean,
who scored 15 points with four assists and six rebounds, Megan
Whitson with 14 points, and Toiya
Gwynn, who scored 13 points with
team highs of six assists and 9 rebounds.
“It just kind of happened,” commented Savage. “I wasn’t really
expecting anything big. I just got
in there and played hard. We
moved the ball well and my teammates were able to get it in to me.
Coach Odom has been stressing to
us in practice about finishing the
game and playing the full four
quarters. I feel like we gave a team
effort and played through our fatigue.”
The Lady Cavs hit 7 3-pointers in
the contest, including four in the
first quarter alone. This helped the
Lady Cavs build an early lead and
go into halftime with a 38-31 ad-
vantage.
The Lady Cavs extended their
lead to as much as 13 points and
had it chipped to as low as five
points, but the Lady Cavs were able
to pull away down the stretch and
take this one by 10 points.
Jayna Ferrell led the Lady Bobcats with 21 points and was helped
out by Tristan McClellan, who
scored 17 points with three assists
and three rebounds.
“We didn’t always take the best
shots,” Odom comented, “but most
of the ones we made were pretty
good shots so we worked hard to
get them. There was a lot of pressure out there. Anybody who was
at the game knows that this Pickett
County team puts pressure on you
the entire game. We made a ton of
mistakes, but the difference in
(Tuesday night) and some of the
games that we’ve played here
lately against teams like this, was
that we played four quarters instead
of just three.”
Up next, Cookeville will play host
to the second showdown between
CHS and White County High
School on Friday.
been. We just played terrible. We’ve beat Shelbyville
and Lebanon and we need to be playing like that. It’s
kind of like a roller-coaster.”
The first quarter ended with a scorching 8-2 tally in
favor of the Lady Buffaloes, then Clarkrange led 166 at halftime.
Gracie Bush led Clarkrange (12-11, 2-3 7-A) with
nine points, while Zoie Crouch added seven.
In the boys game, Monterey kept an even pace with
Clarkrange as the Buffaloes eked out a 14-11 lead
after the first quarter.
But after Monterey tied the game at 14, Clarkrange
soared out on an 8-0 run, then outscored MHS 17-7
in the period to take a 31-18 advantage at halftime.
The Buffaloes hardly had to look back as Monterey
outscored CHS 12-7 in the third, but then Clarkrange
outscored MHS 18-15 in the final eight minutes.
“When we cut it to eight points in the third quarter,
I thought we had a chance to make a run,” said MHS
head coach Adam West. “We just never could get
over that hump. Every time one of our guys made a
play, one of their guys would make a play.”
Dalton Coleman led the Wildcats (12-15, 0-6 7-A)
with 17 points, while Cade Painter and Parker Payne
each added six.
“Dalton played pretty well,” West said. “I think he
got a little tired. Our other post player got into foul
trouble and we had to keep him out there. It kind of
put us in a little bit different situation.”
Senior Zeb Randolph, honored before the game,
added two points.
“He’s a big part of this team,” West said, “and it’s
the only year he’s been here. I told him last night, and
I’ll say it over and over — there’s not a better kid that
I’ve had. He’s a great kid, and he’s the type you’d
love to have for more than one year."
Hunter Crouch led Clarkrange (18-6, 4-2 7-A) with
19 points, while Ryan Miller scored 13.
Up next for Monterey is a trip to Jackson County on
Friday. Clarkrange, meanwhile, travels to Pickett
County on Friday.
TECH: Signed 10 from the state of Tennessee
From Page B1
“The first thing we had to do was build
quality depth,” Satterfield said. “We
knew with just 17 days and three official
visits we couldn’t be as position-specific
as we will be going forward. This signing class was about getting the best football players, and the best young men, the
best student-athletes available, and our
guys did a great job.
“We got them on campus, and I think
the campus and community sell themselves,” Satterfield said.
“From the day they arrived on campus,
our staff worked relentlessly to get out
into the state and get that first weekend
set up,” Satterfield said. “We got 12 guys
on campus, and we received commitments from 11 of the 12. We’re finding
that with this city, this area, and this campus, if we can just get those kids and
their families here, it’s an easy sales job
because how great the university is.”
With 10 signees from Tennessee, Satterfield pointed out that in-state recruiting was a priority.
“We have to reestablish ourselves
within the state of Tennessee, make it the
most important recruiting area for our
program,” Satterfield said. “We saw a lot
of coaches, and we let them know how
important the state of Tennessee will be
for our program.”
Satterfield said the focus of his staff’s
efforts was finding the best people for
the Golden Eagle program that they
could find.
“We had position-specific needs, but
we knew we couldn’t just say we were
going to sign a certain amount of offensive or defensive players, or for any particular position,” he said. “We didn’t
want to pass up on any great players. We
knew we needed some offensive linemen, and we knew we needed linebacker/safety-type players. We were not
just going to take people at those position
to fill a number, and pass up on a great
player an another position, but we feel
like we definitely filled those two specific needs.”
Named head coach just over a month
ago, Satterfield said the quality of the
Golden Eagle recruiting class is impressive, not only on the field but also in the
classroom.
“We’re excited about the high quality
of athletes that we’ve signed, but we’re
really excited about the quality of young
men that our coaches were able to identify,” Satterfield said.
“College is not easy. You can’t just

Brouwer scores with 1:05
left, Blues beat Predators 1-0
By JIM DIAMOND
Associated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) — No matter which goalie they start, the St.
Louis Blues have been flawless in
Nashville this season.
Troy Brouwer scored with 1:05
remaining
in the third
period and
Brian Elliott
made
16
saves
to
give
St.
Louis a 1-0 victory over the Predators on Tuesday night.
St. Louis has won all four
matchups between the teams this
season, including both in
Nashville by shutout. Jake Allen
stopped 45 shots in a 4-0 win
Nov. 7.
“I just think the way we are
structured, we have more hunt on
the puck. That’s what we talked
about,” Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. “We had more
forecheck.”
Mark Humphrey | AP
St. Louis Blues goalie Brian Elliott blocks a shot as defenseman Carl Gunnarsson (4) and Nashville Predators
center Ryan Johansen (92) watch for the rebound in the
second period on Tuesday in Nashville.
Coming off his first All-Star four straight.
Game appearance, Pekka Rinne On the game’s only goal, Robby
made 22 saves in defeat. The Fabbri carried the puck around
Predators had won a season-best the net and found Alex
Pietrangelo just inside the top of
the right circle. Pietrangelo fired
a one-timer toward the Nashville
net, and Brouwer was in front.
The puck deflected off his leg
past Rinne.
“(Paul) Stastny made a great
play to Magnus (Paajarvi) in
tight. Twice, actually,” Brouwer
said. “Rinne is a great goalie and
he’s playing well right now, so we
wanted to put a couple of more
pucks and see what happened. At
the end there, we saw some good
opportunities to throw some
pucks at the net and one goes in.”
The Predators did not like the
way they managed the puck late
in the game.
“We had a few opportunities to
get the puck out before they
scored,” Nashville coach Peter
Laviolette said. “We didn’t get it
done. It stayed in the zone. We
got caught on a long shift and a
shot that’s probably going a foot
to 2 feet wide of the net hits a shin
guard and goes in.”
Elliott’s best save came at 10:27
of the first period, when he turned
aside James Neal’s one-timer
taken from the top of the left circle. He also denied Neal’s attempt
with 5 seconds remaining to preserve the win.
“We kind of carried that momentum into the third period,” Elliott said. “It was just a tight
game; the ice was kind of chopping up and the pucks were
bouncing, so it was going to take
a tip or screen or something to go
in. It was a big game for us.”
Elliott earned his first shutout
this season and the 31st of his career.
“We had a good start to the
game. The second period we kind
of let off the gas a little bit, but we
battled hard, we did a lot of good
things, we just couldn’t score,”
Nashville’s Ryan Johansen said.
“Obviously, give credit to their
goalie a little bit, but it’s on the
guys who score goals on this
team. I missed a couple great
chances where you’ve got to step
up and put them in.”

by 0.51 seconds in the giant slalom.
1990 — Bill Shoemaker, the world’s winningest
jockey, finishes fourth on Patchy Groundfog

score 17 consecutive points, getting as close
as 31-29. Baltimore stops San Francisco on
fourth-and-goal from the 5 with under two
minutes left when Kaepernick’s pass sails
beyond Michael Crabtree in the end zone.

faster than any other college basketball

West Virginia leads Big 12 with win over Iowa State
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Jaysean Paige scored 23
points, including a crucial 3 with 1:05 left, and
West Virginia got its league-leading fourth Big 12
road win over Iowa State 81-76.
Devin Williams added 17 points and 18 rebounds
for the Mountaineers (18-4, 7-2), who rallied from
15 points down for its third win in four games.
Paige shot 10 of 17 from the field, none bigger
than the 3 that gave West Virginia a 75-74 lead. The
Mountaineers outrebounded the Cyclones 43-26,
and Tarik Phillips grabbed his own missed free
throw to seal it with 19 seconds left.
Georges Niang scored 20 points and Abdel Nader
had 19 for Iowa State (16-6, 5-4), which lost consecutive games for the second time this season.
No. 1 OKLAHOMA 95, TCU 72
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Buddy Hield scored 17
points to help No. 1 Oklahoma defeat TCU 95-72
on Tuesday night.
Hield, the nation’s No. 2 scorer, was held well
below his 26.2 average, but he shot an efficient 7
for 13 from the field and made 3 of 8 3-point attempts. Hield was coming off consecutive games
with at least 30 points.
Jordan Woodard scored 14 points, Isaiah Cousins
had 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and
Ryan Spangler had 11 points and 11 rebounds for
the Sooners (19-2, 7-2 Big 12), who won their
fourth straight.
The Sooners shot 51 percent from the field and
held TCU to 41 percent shooting.
Vladimir Brodziansky scored 17 points, Chris

DEPAUL 77, No. 11 PROVIDENCE 70
ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Myke Henry had 27
points and 11 rebounds as DePaul got the surprising win.
The Blue Demons (8-14, 2-8 Big East) had lost
eight of nine, but they outrebounded the Friars 4824 on the way to just their second victory of the
season against a Top 25 team. Billy Garrett Jr.
added 16 points and Rashaun Stimage had nine
points on 4-for-4 shooting.
Kris Dunn had 14 points and eight assists for
Providence (18-5, 6-4), but was 5 for 20 from the
field. The star guard was coming off a 26-point performance in a 73-69 victory over Georgetown on
Saturday.
It was the Friars’ first road loss of the season.
No. 22 INDIANA 80, MICHIGAN 67
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Yogi Ferrell had 17
points and nine assists, and Indiana finished the
first half with 25 straight points.
The Big Ten-leading Hoosiers (19-4, 9-1) struggled early on, missing eight straight shots and
falling behind 10-2, but they were nearly flawless
in the final minutes of the half. Indiana led 45-24
at halftime and went on to its most lopsided victory
over the Wolverines (17-6, 7-3) in Ann Arbor since
2008.
Robert Johnson scored 16 points for the Hoosiers
and O.G. Anunoby added 11.
Zak Irvin led Michigan with 16 points. The
Wolverines were without Caris LeVert for a ninth
straight game because of a lower left leg injury.

Newton wants black QB issue put away for good
By BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Cam Newton wants any discussion of black quarterbacks in a Super Bowl put away.
For good.
Newton on Tuesday emphatically tried to lay to rest any relevance of an
African-American quarterback appearing in the NFL’s championship game.
During a series of questions by a media member that bordered on confrontational, Newton finally said to the reporter: “It’s not an issue. It’s an issue for
you.”
Carolina’s All-Pro quarterback, seemingly tired of the topic, added: “I think
we shattered that a long time ago.”
This was the third time Newton had to deal with the subject since the Panthers
made the Super Bowl. He didn’t need to point out that several other black quarterbacks have led their teams to the big game: Doug Williams, Steve McNair,
Donovan McNabb, Colin Kaepernick, and Seattle’s Russell Wilson the past two
years.
Color? It matters not at all and never should have.
“I don’t even want to touch on the topic of ‘black quarterback’ because I think
this game is bigger than black, white or even green,” the fifth-year Panther said.
“I think we limit ourselves when we just label ourselves just black this, that ...
“I want to bring awareness because of that, but yeah, I don’t think I should be
labeled just a black quarterback. It’s bigger things in this sport that need to be
accomplished.”
Newton was on a podium for the media session, calmly and often comically
answering questions for about 30 minutes. But when the issue of race was
raised, his demeanor turned serious, and his answers profound.
He spoke about being a role model and an inspiration to others. About living
the dream he has had since he was very young. And about making a difference.
“I pray to God that you know I do right by my influence,” Newton said. “So
when you ask me questions about African-American or being a black and mobile (quarterback), it’s bigger than that.

Carolina Panthers’ Cam Newton answers a question during Opening Night for Super Bowl 50 Monday in San Jose, Calif.
“Because when I go places and I talk to kids and I talk to parents and I talk to
athletes all over, they look at my story and they see a person — African-American or not — they see something that they can relate to. They see a guy who
went a different route than just going to a major Division I school and flourishing there.
“But I just want to become relatable, you know what I’m saying? It’s bigger
than race. It’s more so of opening up a door for guys that don’t want to be labeled, that have bigger views and say: ‘Well, I’m in this situation, I’m living in
this environment right now, but I also want to be an artist, I want to be a poet.
But I don’t have the means, you know, to necessarily do the right things at that
point.
“As for me, I just want to give those people hope.”
