Youth Rally shows
teens importance of
fun with education
By PAYTON TOWNS III
Youth from seven different high schools were
dancing and having fun while learning about what
was waiting for them after they graduate from high
school.
Communities in Schools of Laurens County, along
with the CSB of Middle Georgia, Suicide Prevention
Coalition Dublin-Laurens and Sources of Strength
were partners for the annual Living Loud conference
held in the DuBose Porter Center at Oconee Fall Line
Technical Center Thursday.
Denise Forbes, CEO of the Community Mental
Health Center of Middle Georgia, said they had a
record number 411 students from Dublin High
School, East
Laurens High
School, West
Laurens High
School, Moore
Street School,
Johnson
County High
School, Twiggs
County
High School
and
Montgomery County
High
School.
"That's the
most we have ever had here," Forbes said.
Jackie Pittman Curtis, executive director of Communities in Schools, said they have been doing this
event for eight years.
When it comes to getting the students energized,
there is no one better than Keith L. Brown, Curtis
said. Brown, with the use of music and chants, gets
the students excited about education.
"We plan this (event) around his schedule," she
said. "He can keep 400 children energized from 9 a.m.
to 2 p.m. He's been with us since the beginning."
Brown has a big heart for this area.
"This is where it started over 20 years ago," he
said. "It's always a pleasure to come back and work
with Communities in Schools and other agencies
that impact the lives of young people and families.
This is a highlight."
He hopes those he talked to eight years ago are in
college or are out making a difference in the community.
"Hopefully they are leaders and are doing a great
job now," Brown said.
He said it's important to have fun with the students and watch them get excited.
"It's a blessing," Brown said. "This is a release for
me. When you can live and love your purpose, it doesn't feel like work."
Curtis said they had speakers tell the students
about financial aid and their first year of college experience.
"Two former students came back and told them
about their freshmen years and what they can expect," Curtis said.
Just before lunch, a former student gave a testimony about something that had happened to her.
"Sometimes things happen that we can learn from
later," the young woman said. "We are all human and
mistakes happen."
A few years ago, the woman went to the Laurens
County Jail for drinking and driving. She recalled not
wanting to look at her mother when they got to the
scene just before she was taken to jail.
"Jail is never a place you want to be," the woman
said. "I had to stand before a judge. … I stepped up
and took responsibility for my actions."

He admitted to not knowing what he
was going to say. As the rain hit heavily
against the top of the building, Bob, who
was wearing an orange jump suit, began
to talk about how he ended up in jail.
According to Bob, there is a big meth
problem in Dublin and Laurens County.
"There are a lot of folks in Dublin and
all over the world who need help from
it," Bob said.
At the age of 15, he started using
meth. What he doesn't know is this is
the exact age when former addict Adrian started using the same drug. Adrian,
unlike Bob, isn't in jail. He's been arrested but is on the path to recovery.
Taking that same path is Patrick.
Unlike these other men, he started using meth when he was 29.
Bob, Adrian and Patrick tell different
stories about how they got started.
Some have different experiences. What
they all share are stories about the pain
and hurt they put their families through
as they used this horrible drug.
All of them have come to realize this:
meth will ruin a person's life.
Sheriff: Meth has progressed
in Laurens County
By PAYTON TOWNS III
A recovering Methamphetamine user called it something from the devil
while another former user called it a disease.
A man in jail said meth is a big problem all across the world, and especially,
here in Laurens County.
Sheriff Bill Harrell knows all about that.
"It has progressed," Harrell said. "The drug of choice at one time was cocaine
and then it went to prescription pills. We had always heard about meth and
what it does to the body."
Harrell never wanted to see meth in Laurens County.
"We knew it was going to be bad," he said. "We have been dreading this for
years. I know within the last 16 months, we've seen a big peak in it. We try to
make arrests. You just can't believe stuff like this is going on in our community. … It's a travesty. I just don't know why people would do this."
Methamphetamine, commonly known as "meth" or "crystal meth" is a highly addictive man-made stimulant drug that is extraordinarily dangerous. It is
See SHERIFF page 3a
Adrian is 27-year-old and has been using meth for 12 years since age 15.
"I started using meth because I was
trying different experiences," Adrian said.
"Nothing good comes out of it. One day it
will control your life...This has destroyed
people - families."
It took Adrian eight years to realize
what meth was doing to him.
"I thought I had control over it," he
said. "At first, I was what they would call
a control user. Then it was never an option. Drugs would come before my children. The drugs came first. It came before
anything else. It's a disease that you
have. When you get into it, you would go
to any means necessary to get it."
Adrian said there's only three places
where people on meth will end up: jail, an
institution or the grave. In seven years,
he was arrested 15 times for meth.
"That drug will make you do things,"
Adrian said. "It will ruin your life...I've
got a kid. She doesn't have a daddy because of meth."
Missing his family is why Adrian decided to seek help.
"I had been away from my family so
long," he said. "I came to realize that a life
of drugs is not what I wanted. I'm choosing a different life. (Meth) took me away
from my family and my God."
Patrick is 33-years-old and had been
on meth for four years.
He turned to meth after originally

Plastic bag ban
prevention bill
fails Ga. House
ATLANTA (AP) — The
Georgia House has rejected a
bill preventing cities from
banning plastic bags.
The House's 67-85 vote on
Friday makes the bill's future
uncertain. The Senate approved an earlier version.
Officials in several Georgia
cities have considered banning plastic bags within their
limits, including coastal Tybee Island where supporters
argue that sea turtles sometimes mistake them for food.
Rep. Tom McCall, who carried the bill in the House,
says local bans will create
confusion and add costs to
businesses while Rep. Trey
Kelley criticized supporters
as "extreme environmentalists."
Other Republicans who
spoke against the bill called it
a state overreach.

Deal signs order requiring
readiness for marijuana law
ATLANTA (AP) — In an emotional ceremony in his Capitol office, Gov. Nathan Deal signed an executive order Friday ordering
state agencies to start preparations now for the enactment the
state's medical marijuana bill.
Deal said Friday he'll sign it into law soon after the current
legislative session ends April 2 to avoid possible procedural conflicts with other pieces of legislation.
He said the bill, sponsored by Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, will
allow the use of cannabis oil for treatment of seizure disorders,
cancer, Lou Gehrig's disease, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease,
mitochondrial disease, Parkinson's and sickle cell anemia.
The news conference's mood swung from gleeful to sad, especially when Mike Hopkins of Covington, who moved his family to
Colorado last fall so his children could be treated with cannabis
oil, stood to express gratitude that the bill is soon to become law.
Two have died.
"Honestly, I have not had a chance to grieve my children," he
said, choking up.
The family has two children left, including one who has
seizures like those that killed two siblings.
Janea Cox, mother of Haleigh, 5, who has intractable epilepsy
and has been living for months in Colorado while husband Brian,
a Johns Creek firefighter, stayed here, said she'll now move back
to their Smyrna home.

being hooked on prescription pills. Patrick didn't
understand the dangers of what he was getting
himself into.
"When I started, all I wanted to do was get
high," Patrick said. "That's all that mattered."
At one time, he had a beautiful wife, nice job
and children. Meth took that away.
"I started using meth and it all slipped away,"
Patrick said. "I saw it go one piece at a time. I saw
my boat, house, kids and wife go away...They
were telling me to get help. For a long time, I
thought I had it under control."
Patrick was arrested four times, twice for theft
by taking. Both of those thefts were in order for
him to get money to buy more meth.
"I wasn't thinking about who I was hurting at
the moment (of the thefts)," Patrick said. "I was
sick."
He eventually hit rock bottom. He stopped but
then relapsed and had nowhere to go and had
nothing to live for.
"I realized that I needed help," Patrick said. "I
felt like I didn't."
He has been clean for almost two months. His
faith is playing a big part in staying that way.
"I looked for God," Patrick said. "My family offered me tough love. They wouldn't let me (come)
home...Meth will wreck your life, home and family. Stay away from it."
Bob is 35-years-old and had been using meth
for two decades.
Using meth began when he was getting drunk,
hanging out with an older crowd. The next night,
Bob learned how to cook it. He was 15-years-old.
"Man, the dangers (of meth) are unreal," Bob
said. "I've been to places and seen (stuff) that is
unreal. People murdered and people shot. I've
been shot at, robbed and slept in the streets.
Right before I got locked up, I wanted to get out
of it.
"I put my body through h---, not including my
family," Bob said. "It's hard losing your family. It's
like no other thing."
Bob has been arrested twice. Once he got help
with the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment,
which is offered in the state prison system.
"RSAT helped me a lot," he said. "When I got
out of there, I didn't do any followup. When I got
out, I fell back into the same class of people. I was
out of work and doing that was easy money. I'm
not going to sleep on the street if I can make money easy."
Bob considers himself lucky.
"My mind is still in tact," he said. "I have pretty teeth and my family will still be there for me. I
have a lot of mending to do though."
Many things about meth have bothered Bob.
At one time he was making money off it.
"People were drawn to me in that lifestyle,"
Bob said. "I'd make them laugh. I saw how I could
use these people so that I would be safe."
He paused before talking about several regrets
which brings him to tears.
"I have a friend who had never seen drugs until he met me," Bob said. "Now he's in prison for
murder. (Meth) turned him. I've never seen a
change like that. It just took his life over."
He was asked what he would do if he could go
back in time and talk to his 15-year-old self.
"I have destroyed and ruined a lot of lives,"
Bob said. "If I could go back, knowing now what I
didn't know then, I would probably kill myself. I
made a lot of kids hurt. I hurt them bad, and it's
my fault. It eats at me all the time. If I knew now,
then, it would be over. I was a walking disaster.
The Lord has changed my life. He took meth from
me. I ain't going back. I have already gotten my
help. I'm going to definitely follow up."
Because all he knows is the wrong crowd.
"That life is H---," Bob said. "The coolness and
materialism isn't worth it...I should be in prison
for a long time from what I've done. I've pushed it
on kids. There are a lot of things that meth has
taken from me. I messed up a lot of children's
lives. They'll probably go through H--- because of
me."
There is hope for those
who want it
Bob has promised to seek help when he gets
out. It may be the same help and path to recovery that Adrian and Patrick are currently on.
Both Adrian and Patrick have called meth "a
disease."
"In 10 years of doing meth, I didn't know
about being clean until now," Adrian said. "I
was unaware that it's a disease. If you don't use
drugs, you are blessed."
Now is the time for parents and educators to
talk to their children about drugs, especially
meth.
"(Meth) is the devil," Patrick said. "I would
tell people to stay away from it. Parents need to
talk to their kids about it. Maybe it will stop
them from going down the same road I did."
The path to recovery isn't easy.
"There is help but it'll be tough," Patrick
said. "It's a hard road to hoe. They have to be
ready and willing. They have to have an open
heart. I couldn't do this until I was ready."
Adrian had a message for those who are using meth.
"There is hope," he said. "Recovery is possible. It's not easy and it will take a lot of work.
You've got to truly want it."
Bob wants to help others too. Like Adrian
and Patrick, he would tell others not to touch it.
"Meth is not a joke," he said. "I saw people on
it who thought they could fly. This is killing people and messing their minds up. I saw someone
who wanted to cut her head because she
thought she had bugs in her hair. Meth is a dangerous drug. I believe they should stop selling
everything you can make it with. It is awful.
And this town is ate up with it. I would not turn
this on to anyone, unless they want to buy a casket. Because they are going to die."

sold as a crystalline powder or
glass-like shards and often injected, but it is also ingested
orally, snorted through the nose
or smoked.
Many users encountered by
the sheriff’s office prefer injections into the veins. To the user,
it often brings hyperactivity,
anxiety, depression, delusions,
extreme paranoia and violent
behavior. Unlike cocaine, the effects of a single dosage may last
for days.
Meth combines the hyperactivity of cocaine with the delusions of LSD. It has been described as one of the world’s
most dangerous drugs. Public
knowledge of this drug does not
adequately reflect the damage
meth brings to individuals and
communities. It is extremely
harmful and users are quickly
hooked.
"When folks go to shooting or
cooking it, that's what concerns
me," Harrell said. "I don't know
how I could sell something like
(meth) to someone knowing
what it's going to do to them.
Folks don't realize how serious
it is. So many have lost their
lives while taking it. Some have
moved into a house where a former meth lab was and then they
and their children start getting
sick. If they aren't able to get it
(cleaned) like they need to, the
whole house may need to be
torn down."
Long-term users tend to develop skin irritations, loss of
teeth, heart disease and brain
damage. Stroke and death are
real possibilities. Harrell has
seen the booking photos of those
who use meth.
"It ages people so bad," Harrell said. "They lose their teeth
and everything else. They don't
even look like themselves anymore. You know it's got to be
killing the families."
For the community, it destroys many people and their
ability to contribute. Young
adult users may raise their children in situations of neglect and
abandonment, often living only
for the drug. While meth is relatively cheap in comparison to
other illicit drugs, especially
when a single use may keep the
user high for days, meth addicts
often commit thefts, burglaries,
or robberies or sell meth to support their own addiction.
"They are going to get their
money one way of the other,"
Harrell said. "And they don't
care how it's done."
— Sheriff Bill Harrell
In recent years, legislative
action has greatly diminished
the opportunity for violators to
“cook” their own meth. This was
accomplished through restrictions complicating the procurement of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, essential ingredients in home-cooked formulas.
Cooking with lithium from batteries, ether from aerosol cans,
ethyl alcohol from gasoline additives, and other poisonous precursors created extreme risks to
anyone.
"It's bad to say that a group
of people will put something like
that into their system to reach a
high," Harrell said. "We are trying to make a dent in it in Laurens County or at least slow it
down."
People make clandestine
meth lab environment and have
contaminated homes, cars, and
motel rooms, as well as outdoor
locations.
"Who knows if the motel
room you just rented housed a
meth lab," Harrell said. "There
was a deputy in North Georgia.
They had a mobile meth lab and
he was inventorying the vehicle.
When the car went on the rollback, some of the chemicals
made contact, he inhaled it and
he was put into a coma for three
or four weeks."
In the past, specially trained
Laurens County deputies assigned to dismantle meth labs
wore protective equipment and
donned heavy breathing apparatus to guard against poisonous gas and chemicals found at
lab sites. Additionally, dismantled labs are treated as hazardous material, requiring expensive disposal of all components and contaminated soil.
"Folks don't realize how expensive it is to do away with a
meth lab," Harrell said. "Usually on the average, a small lab
may be $1,000. The DEA used to
give money to the state of Georgia to send a team to get the
stuff and do away with it. The
federal government has cut that
out. It reverts back to the local
taxpayers to have to pay for it.
It's a nightmare."
Meth can lead to more tragic
events such as murder.
"When you read up on it, you
see how it effects folks in different ways," Harrell said. "They
act wild and you just don't know
what it's going to cause them to
do."
The Laurens County Sheriff’s Office is asking for citizen
involvement in fighting the
alarming increase in methamphetamine trafficking and addiction confronting the community.
The sheriff’s office asks that
anyone with direct knowledge
or even suspicion of violations
contact the drug hotline at
478–272-8990. Laurens County
deputies are seeing a dramatic
increase in drug intelligence related to meth trafficking and
have made numerous arrests for
possession/sale
of
meth
throughout the county.
Frequently, the sheriff’s office receives calls from family
members of users who are addicted to methamphetamine
and need assistance. Many of
these addicts are young adults
who became addicted and
turned to crime to support their
addiction.
"If anyone has information
about making or selling meth or
other drugs, they need to get in
touch with us," Harrell said.
"There are some drugs out there
that will kill you and you only
have to do it one time. I think
why in the world would folks do
this. I just don't understand. We
really want to help people as
much as possible."

Church workers today
pointed out that next Sunday
will be the last one in March
and will bring to a close the intensive Go-to-Church Cam-
paign which has been ably carried on by the ministers and

She became part of a substance abuse night group at
Community Mental Health.
She finished her probation,
paid off her fine and now works
at Community Mental Health.
"Make all of your experiences count," she said.
Brown liked what the young
woman had to say.
"Every set back, is a set up
for a comeback," he said.
"We've always said if you fall,
land on your back. If you can
look up, then you can get up.
She landed on her back. She
failed at somethings, but she
wasn't a failure. And that's a
key. The fact that she had the
courage to come back and
stand in front of her peers, is
exceptional."
After lunch, the students
got to attend a college fair
where there were 20 colleges
and university officials waiting
to hand out information.
"That's the purpose of this
event," Curtis said. "We want
to let them know that college is
attainable for everyone. We
want them to know about going to college when they are
sophomores and juniors. They
have to know the importance of
their grade point average and
other things. This plants that
seed early on."
Fun
If we all slow down
just a little bit, maybe we
wouldn't be having so many
wrecks here. Most of us are
driving like we are in the
Daytona 500.
So, one weekend the
weather is so warm we
could get sunburn during
the parade and the very
next weekend the temperatures are going to drop significantly? I'm getting tired
of this weather.
For those movie geeks
out there, it's only five
weeks to the next Avengers
movie and almost 38 weeks
until the new Star Wars
comes out.

MLB power outage
30 is the new 40 when
it comes to home runs
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Whether it's steroid testing, all
those power arms in the bullpen
or a lower strike zone, baseballs
just aren't flying out of the park
like they did a decade or two ago.
Sluggers who came of age in the
days of 50, 60 and 70 home-run
seasons have been forced to
recalibrate what's a successful
power season.
And 30 is the new 40.
"Oh yeah, absolutely," said
Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant,
perhaps the best power-hitting
prospect in the game. "I mean I
grew up watching Barry Bonds
hit 73 home runs and now guys
are talking about 30's good."
Home runs have hit their lowest rate in more than two
decades. Only 11 players reached
the 30-homer mark last season,
the fewest in a full season since
1992, when there were four
fewer teams, no interleague play
and Fay Vincent was still commissioner.
The days of bulked-up sluggers like Barry Bonds, Mark
McGwire and Sammy Sosa topping 60 home runs in a season
like they did six times from 19982001 are going, going, and gone.
"I remember when guys hit 50
and 60 a year," said Houston first
baseman Chris Carter, who tied
for second in the majors last season with 37 homers. "Then they
stopped doing it, there were reasons for that. But I'd like to think
it's still attainable — look what
Chris Davis did a couple of years
ago. Why set the bar so low at 30?
I'd like to think you could hit
more than that."
There are plenty of reasons
for baseball's power outage, with
testing for steroids getting the
most attention. Testing was
agreed to on a survey basis with
no punishments in 2003 and
penalties began the following
year.
Testing has become more rigorous and penalties more harsh
over the years. Amphetamines
were also banned before the
2006 season, affecting every day
hitters trying to get through the
grind of a 162-game season more
than starting pitchers who go
every five days.
Home runs have dropped in
frequency in that same time and
only Davis in 2013 and Jose
Bautista in 2010 have reached 50
in the past five seasons. Davis
was suspended for amphetamine
use last season.
"You had the stretch in the
PED era where everything was
inflated, everybody in the lineup

Georgia’s 3 QB contenders starting over
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — The
challenge of learning new offensive
coordinator
Brian
Schottenheimer’s playbook has
evened Georgia’s three-man
quarterback competition.
Brice Ramsey, Faton Bauta
and Jacob Park have been given
equal chances to win the job in
spring practice. The three are
trading days with the starters
as Schottenheimer installs his
offense.
Schottenheimer, the former
St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator, said when hired in
January he would try to simplify the transition by saving as
much terminology as possible
from Georgia’s old offense.
Instead, the three quarterbacks
say they feel they are starting
over.
Ramsey was the top backup
to 2014 senior starter Hutson
Mason. Ramsey played in eight
games and under normal conditions would have had a big
advantage in the competition.
That changed when former
offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo was
hired as Colorado State’s coach.
“It’s back to square one,”
Ramsey said, adding the change
came just as he felt he had
learned Bobo’s offense.
“I had just felt comfortable
with the playbook right when
Bobo left,” Ramsey said. “I was
like ‘Yes, I’ve got it.’ Sure
enough, I’m into a new system.”
Ramsey said learning the
new terminology is “a huge
thing” in the quarterback derby.
The change from Bobo to
Schottenheimer could be good
for Park, who impressed teammates as last year’s scout-team
quarterback. Instead of starting
spring behind Ramsey and
Bauta, Park is taking snaps with
the first-team offense every
third day.
Asked what has changed
from last season, when he was
redshirted as a freshman, Park
said “Knowing I’ve got a shot.”
Park (6-4, 202) earned compliments last year with his
skills as a runner on the scout
team, when he regularly played
against the defensive starters.
Outside linebacker Jordan
Jenkins described Park as “a
shifty cat” due to his quickness.
Added Jenkins: “I’d definitely
say he’s the fastest” of the quarterbacks.
Park said he was in survival
mode on the scout team.
“I didn’t really have good
protection on the scout team
last year,” Park said. “I didn’t
really trust my protection and
so I tended to scramble out of
the pocket a lot.”
Park said his goal this spring
is to prove he can play under
control in the pocket and hold
his own in comparisons with
Ramsey and Bauta as a passer.
“That’s definitely been my
biggest emphasis, sitting in the
pocket,” Park said. “That’s what
I’ve been working on the most.”
Added Park: “Sitting in the
pocket and throwing the ball is
the name of the game. That’s
what we’re all trying to do. “
Park also opened eyes with his
leadership last year.
“I just like playing the game,”
he said. “I’ve got a lot of passion
for what I do. People tend to follow people that get excited and
want to play.”
Coach Mark Richt may not
name a starter this spring.
Based on the current rotation, Ramsey is scheduled to
take his turn with the first-team
offense in the Bulldogs’ first
scrimmage on Saturday.
Ramsey (6-3, 216), a sophomore known for his strong arm,
completed 24 of 39 passes for
333 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions
last year.

“I just look at it like I’m a
freshman learning a whole new
playbook,” Bauta said. “We’re
all starting from zero.”
Grand slam, back-to-back jacks power MS Crusaders to sweep
Special photo
Chance Blum connects for a three-run Crusader
homer
Special to The Courier Herald
The Trinity Middle School Crusaders unleashed a power display in
their doubleheader with Robert Toombs, hitting five home runs
including back-to-back homers and a grand slam in a 9-1 and 22-2
sweep.
In Game 1’s first inning, Blake Purvis and Carson Hall gave fans a
sample of what they were going to see all day when they went back
to back with towering home runs to put the middle-schoolers up stay
for the rest of the day.
In the second inning, Caelan Williams reached on a single, stole
second and took third base on a passed ball. David Coleman, who was
8 for 8 in the two games, drove in Williams with his second
single. Coleman scored on a single by Purvis.
Williams later drove in Chance Blum for the only score in the
third.
Up 5-0 in the fourth inning, the Crusaders unleashed a fury sending nine batters to the plate. The big inning was highlighted by a linedrive, three-run homer by centerfielder Chance Blum, driving in
Davis Skeeters and Trey Miller.
Walker Payne went the distance on the mound, striking out five
and giving up only three hits.
In the second game, Trinity took care of Robert Toombs in three
innings.
The Crusaders collected 22 runs on 22 hits, including another
home run off the bat of Carson Hall, his second on the day, and a
grand slam from Josh Price, his second on the season.
David Coleman led the attack, going 4 for 4 and scoring four
runs. Price added two singles in addition to his four-run slammer and
scored four runs on the day.
Hudson Rousell came up big going, 3 for 3 and scoring three times.
In addition to Hall’s homer, he also added a double and scored three
runs. Walker Payne added two hits and scored four runs.
Grant Grosch doubled, single and drove in a run, while Jake
Walker doubled, singled, drove in a run and scored. Jalon Price added
a single, and Ben Butler singled, doubled and scored a run.
David Coleman pitched two innings, striking out four and giving
up only one hit. Trey Miller pitched the third inning, taking down
Robert Toombs, three up, three down.

NCaa: Bo doesn’t like change; can irish slay goliath?
Bo Ryan is no fan of change.
He said so himself answering
the question — "What's the most
important change your team
needs to make here?" — as he left
the locker room to start the second half, down by two to North
Carolina in Thursday's Sweet 16
matchup.
Wisconsin was shooting just
37 percent, almost 30 points
lower than the pass-completion
percentage posted last season by
that other icon of the Badger
state, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was in
the stands with girlfriend Olivia
Munn in LA.
"Well, we don't need to
change here," Ryan practically
growled in response to sideline
reporter Rachel Nichols. "We just
have to play better."
Coaches have been saying that
since the dawn of time. Ryan
wasn't around then, but he's only
changed so much in his 67 years.
He still recruits leftovers,
which means his players often
stick around four years and learn
plenty. His teams still play manto-man defense and the motion
offense he devised back in his
days at nearby WisconsinPlatteville, called the Swing, in
which all five positions are interchangeable. It's why 6-foot-11

Fiery Badger

and a decisive rebounding edge,
have been hallmarks of Ryancoached teams. Arizona, their
next opponent in a much-anticipated rematch of last season's
Elite Eight showdown, knows
that isn't likely to change, either.
"They've seen the good runs.
They've seen the bad runs," Ryan
said afterward. "But this group
never gets discouraged to the
point where they get down on
themselves or their teammates,
and that's what's fun."
So for all the things Bo knows,
panicking early is not among
them.
WAKING UP THE ECHOES:
Notre Dame has a long and storied tradition. Just not in basketball — though the Fighting Irish
have demonstrated a knack for
playing David and knocking off
Goliath No. 1 teams. They've
done it eight times, including
bookend wins that began and
ended UCLA's 88-game winning
streak in the 1970s. Whether
that's worth much against
Kentucky in the regional final
remains to be seen.
Given the opportunity to summon up just one thing from their
past, however, chances are good
Notre Dame would choose to
repeat its sizzling shooting numbers from Thursday's win over
Wichita State. The Irish shot 75
percent for the second half, 56 for
the game and 47 from 3-point
range for the game. The Shockers
took their only lead of the game
with 16:37 to go, then got buried
under an avalanche. Or as
Wichita State coach Gregg
Marshall put it: "I've never seen a
1-point lead get out of hand so
quickly."
THROW THE BOOK OUT:
West Virginia's Bob Huggins isn't
just another sideline modelcoach in a windbreaker. He's also
an author. The smart money
opined the best way to beat
Kentucky — if one even exists —
could be relentless defensive
pressure all over the floor. And as
it happens, Huggins has cranked
out two books on that very subject. Asked about them a day
before the game in Cleveland, he
conceded, "That was a long time
ago; honestly, I don't remember
what I wrote."
The still-perfect Wildcats
apparently haven't read it, either.
They
shredded
the
Mountaineers' press time and
again en route to a 78-39 snoozer.
IT'S BETTER IN THE
BAHAMAS: Or so the advertising
slogan goes. But pals and fellow
Bahamians Tum Tum Nairn of
Michigan State and Buddy Hield
of Oklahoma will stage their
reunion Friday in much-colder
Syracuse, NY.
versely, why the Badger guards
routinely post up inside.
Yet eight minutes into the second half, it was the Tar Heels
bossing the game. They built
their biggest lead at 53-46, on the
same play that ended with
Kaminsky taking an inadvertent
slap to the face. The Badgers,
meanwhile, were still shooting
poorly, hovering around 40 per-
cent.
Then Josh Gasser made a crucial (if questionable) strip to
ignite a 6-0 Wisconsin run and
backup Zak Showalter did the
same while starting another 9-0
surge around the five-minute.
The Badgers sewed up the 79-72
win with good (in this case, perfect 8-for-8) free-throw shooting,
which along with few turnovers

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — The Atlanta Braves
have optioned outfielder Eury Perez and two other
players to Triple-A Gwinnett.
After being acquired off waivers from the New
York Yankees, the speedy Perez was thought to
have a shot at contending for playing time in center
field. But even after an injury kept Melvin Upton Jr.
out for all of spring training, the 24-year-old Perez
didn't do enough to earn a spot on the team.
Eric Young Jr. is expected to open the season in
center.
The Braves also optioned a pair of young pitchers, left-hander Manny Banuelos and right-hander
Williams Perez.
Atlanta now has 40 players in its major league
camp.
Change to extra points likely for NFL
PHOENIX (AP) — Spice it up.
The NFL's dullest play, the extra point, appears
to be headed for some changes, perhaps significant
ones, for the 2015 season.
While team owners didn't vote on any extrapoint proposals, there was so much discussion and
interest in potential changes that the issue will be a
main focal point for the next set of league meetings
in May.
"There's a clear movement to wanting to change
and change it this year," said Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee and president of
the Falcons.
McKay's committee will "develop alternatives
and be ready for a potential vote" in two months in
San Francisco.
Among the possibilities are moving the line of
scrimmage back for PAT kicks; placing the ball on
the 1½-yard line for a 2-point conversion; elimi-
nating the PAT kicks entirely, requiring teams to
run a play from scrimmage; and allowing the
defense to score, as in college football, if the ball is
turned over on a 2-point try.
McKay described the discussions as "lively, with
lots of ideas ... it's time to make this a football play."
"A couple coaches said they favor just lining up
on the 2 and going for the 2-point play," he said. "Or
move the ball to the 1 1-2 for two points, or kick
from the 15 for one, your choice."
The league experimented with extra-point kicks
from a longer distance last preseason.
Currently, the line of scrimmage for both an
extra point and 2-point conversion try is the 2-yard
line.
Voted down as the meetings concluded this
week was Chicago's proposal that each team get a
possession in overtime regardless of what happens
on the first series.
Homers
Continued from 1a
was hitting a lot of home runs, one
through nine," Toronto manager
John Gibbons said. "But then slowly when that changed and when
guys are getting off the stuff, then
it kind of goes back to old-time
baseball."
But drug testing is far from the
only reason that teams combined
for just 0.86 home runs per game
last season, the lowest rate in the
big leagues since 1992. That's
down more than 25 percent from
the peak of 1.17 homers per game
back in 2000 when 16 players
reached the 40-homer mark.
Umpires are calling more low
strikes, contributing to players
over the past two seasons hitting
the highest percentage of
grounders on record to at least
1987.
More power arms in the
bullpen also contribute. Teams
regularly are stocked with relievers capable of throwing fastballs
that approach, or even top, 100
mph. With the stigma of striking
out long gone, fewer balls than
ever are being put into play. And
those in play aren't traveling quite
as far.
Last season, 10.3 percent of fly
balls went for home runs, down
from 11.7 percent in 2000. That
right there leads to about 20
fewer home runs per team in a
season and makes reaching 40 or
50 a much taller task.
"You don't need 45 and 120
anymore to be considered a great
year," Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt
said. "Pitching is so much better
and the hitting as a whole hasn't
kept up with the pitching. The
defensive shifts have stopped
some of the hitting. And the hitters, if you keep doing what you're
doing, you're going to keep getting what you're getting."
Home run totals for the game's
biggest sluggers are going back to
the level they were when Schmidt
was the game's most feared
power-hitter in the 1970s and
80s. Schmidt led the league in
homers eight times on the way to
hitting 548, and in only two of
those seasons did he reach 40.

really exciting but I can't talk

Review: 'Bloodborne' a punishing
trek through a haunted city on PS4
There's something masochistic
about video gamers. Even if
you're playing an innocuous-looking game like "Pac-Man," you will
be killed dozens of times before
you get any good.
"Bloodborne" (Sony, for the
PlayStation 4, $59.99) doesn't
waste any time getting to the
hard stuff. Almost immediately
after it starts, you get eaten by a
werewolf. Sure, you get reincarnated and armed with a couple of
flimsy weapons, but if you aren't
prepared to die — over and over
and over — you won't get very far.
"Bloodborne" is the latest torture device from evil genius Hidetaka Miyazaki and his Tokyobased studio, From Software.
Starting with 2009's "Demon's
Souls," Miyazaki and company
have developed a reputation as
the cruelest game designers in
the world. If you relished the
challenge of their "Souls" adventures, you'll love "Bloodborne." If
you hated those games — well,
their new ordeal won't change
your mind.
Once you get past that werewolf, you'll find yourself in a
sprawling city called Yharnam,
where majestic Gothic towers
loom over gore-drenched streets.
A nasty illness has overcome most
of the populace, and the few remaining humans seem to hold
you responsible. Those survivors
are relatively easy to dispatch, as
long as you don't let them gang up
on you. It's the creatures that
have mutated — bloodthirsty lycanthropes, sledgehammer-wielding behemoths — that will send
you screaming into the afterlife.
You're initially armed with two

game "Bloodborne" (for PlayStation 4, $59.99), in which a

devices: a melee weapon that can be extended for longer-range attacks and a
firearm that seems almost comically ineffective. Gamers who are used to cutting
a swath through hapless enemies will
lose quickly. You need to approach each
encounter cautiously and learn to depend on your "dodge" button. Eventually,
you get used to the attack-dodge-attack
rhythm needed to defeat most of Yharnam's creatures — until you stumble upon one of the game's vicious boss battles.
Those guys, like the ax-wielding lunatic Father Gascoigne and the treesized Cleric Beast, are less predictable,
and you'll need some trial and error before you can figure out their attacks.
Even then, the bosses typically transform into something even nastier midbattle, requiring an entirely different
strategy.
If you lose, you get sent back to your
last game save, at which point you have
to slog your way back through the horde
of lesser enemies you've already defeated
and make your way back. Here's the spot
where many players will slam down their
controllers in frustration — not at losing
a boss battle, but at having to retrace all
the tedious steps that led up to that
fight.
From Software demands much of its
players, including an obsessive level of
patience. The studio has built an impressive cult audience for its brand of abuse,
but if you're the type of person who plays
a game to relax and unwind, "Bloodborne" is not for you. I admire its uncompromising vision — but I don't particularly like it. Two stars out of four.
Review: Van
Morrison breaks
mold in diverse
duets album
The duets format can be a lazy
way to go, a predictable romp that
showcases familiar old songs. Not
so with Van Morrison's new collection "Duets: Re-Working the Catalogue" which skips obvious hits like
"Moondance" and "Brown-Eyed
Girl" for overlooked, sometimes eccentric tracks from memorable albums like "The Healing Game" and
"A Period of Transition."
The result is a warm, refreshing
look at the stunning breadth of
Morrison's poetic compositions, dating back nearly five decades. It's all
here: The devotion to American
rhythm and blues roots, the moody
introspection, the search for transcendence. There is no particular
concept, no chronological tale, but
the music is unified by his fierce vision, and set off by his magnificent
voice (untrammeled by time) and
some tasty horn work.
The choice of collaborators is revealing: Mavis Staples, with her
golden voice and long family history; jazz singer Gregory Porter (who
finally makes some of the mumbled
lyrics to the exuberant "The Eternal
Kansas City" intelligible); and Taj
Mahal, who seems to nail "How Can
A Poor Boy" on the very first take.
Their easy camaraderie makes one
miss the late John Lee Hooker, who
teamed with Morrison for some of
the finest duets of their respective
careers.
Morrison also includes some of
the early English rockers who were
on the way up when he first surfaced in the mid-'60s. Chris Farlowe, who has joined Morrison on
stage at times, teams up with him
on "Born To Sing" and former bandmate Georgie Fame duets on "Get
On With the Show." P.J. Proby
makes a surprise, slightly selfmocking appearance in "Whatever
Happened to P.J. Proby", a nostalgic
homage to the early days.
Some of the songs may send fans
back to the original albums, particularly "Streets of Arklow," a cut
from Morrison's brilliant, Irishtinged "Veedon Fleece" presented
here in tandem with Mick Hucknall. There's plenty to hear, and
there's plenty more hidden away in
Morrison's impressive archives.

Review: 'Get Hard' plays with stereotypes with mixed success
While the stereotypes in
"Get Hard" may be gross exaggerations, its characters live in
the real world: A place where
the chasm between rich and
poor is vast and growing;
where black men are disproportionately jailed and whitecollar criminals often evade
punishment.
In this comedy from firsttime director Etan Cohen,
James (Will Ferrell) is a Los
Angeles millionaire hedgefund investor whose life of indulgence and ignorance is interrupted by a surprise prison
sentence for fraud. He turns to
the guy who runs the company
car wash, Darnell (Kevin
Hart) — apparently the only
black person he has ever met
— and asks for help to prepare
for 10 years in maximum security. Darnell has no jail experience, but he agrees because
he needs money to buy a home
in a better school district for
his little girl.
When Darnell's wife, Rita
(Edwina Findley Dickerson) —
the film's only voice of reason
— asks what he did to give the
impression he had a criminal
record, he replies, "I was being
black."
Darnell's pre-jail prep class
includes transforming his student's Bel-Air mansion into a
pretend prison, the household
staff gleefully becoming its
guards. Lessons include getting James in shape, teaching
him how to fight and encouraging him to practice oral sex
on men.
The first yields some laughs
as the 6-foot-3 Ferrell uses the
diminutive Hart as a barbell.
But forced sex isn't funny, no
matter who's doing the forcing
or the gender of the parties involved. "Get Hard" traffics in
other crude humor involving
more than one look at Farrell's
naked tush and a tiring
amount of puns on the film's
title.
Darnell knows one real excon, his cousin Russell (an ultra-charismatic Tip "T.I." Harris), whom he turns to for actual help for James behind
bars. James hits it off with
Russell and his gangster pals
when he shows them how they
can "liquidate two bricks of cocaine" into hedge funds to
make more money.
"Wall Street, man. Those
are the real criminals," one

gangster says.
Right. This is supposed to
be a parody of the One Percent.
The film is guilty of occasionally underlining its jokes
like this. James even uses the
phrase "teachable moment" after a heated racial encounter
— and not ironically.
Stars and producers of "Get
Hard" defended the film after
its premiere at South by
Southwest last week, where
some viewers and critics called
it racist and homophobic.
So when does satire become
an expression of the very sentiment it hopes to ridicule?
James' initial bias against
blacks is overt. He's afraid of
Darnell when they first meet,
and openly assumes he has
been to jail because of his race,
citing the statistical likelihood. That can work as satire.
But when Darnell misses
all of James' literary references, is that satire, or is it
racist and classist?
James has two female love
interests, one white and one
black. The black woman does
more twerking than speaking
on screen. Does that satirize a
racist and sexist stereotype, or
reinforce it?
Jones
ney's Bob Iger at a shareholders meeting in San Francisco
earlier this month. Gareth
Edwards ("Godzilla) will begin directing this summer.
The movie is scheduled for a
Dec. 16, 2016, release.
Jones, 31, said she has had
"a fantastic, fantastic few
months." She was nominated
for a best-actress Oscar for
her role as Jane Hawking in
"The Theory of Everything,"
and she says all the women
nominated in that category
supported each other.
"It felt very uncompetitive
which was really nice," she
said. "It felt like we were all
supporting each other." (Julianne Moore won for "Still Alice.")
"Along the way you just
bump into the same people,"
Jones said of the awards show
circuit. "And for all the
women in the category we all
became really good friends by
the end of it. You'd be like,
'Hey, how are you?' I did feel
like there was a lot of camaraderie between us which was
FINANCING AVAILABLE
really nice."
She said it is also nice doing publicity for other projects. "I had a fantastic time
with ('The Theory of Everything') and it was a very, very
special project to be a part of
so I didn't mind speaking
about it endlessly, but I do
have to say it's nice to be talking about something else. Definitely."
Her next film, "True Story,"
starring James Franco and
Jonah Hill, is a true crime
drama. It will be in theaters
April 17.
She's
completed
the
thriller "Autobahn" with
Nicholas Holt and a drama
"The Monster Calls" with
Liam Neeson.
Jones will also co-star with
Tom Hanks in the "Da Vinci
Code" sequel, "Inferno," directed by Ron Howard.

It's tricky territory to tread,
and "Get Hard" doesn't always
get it right, but in a nation
where racial and economic divides are growing issues, it deserves credit for trying. The
film stays afloat on the goofy
charm of its two leads, a great
soundtrack with music from
Nicki Minaj, T.I. and The
Pharcyde, and an undercurrent of truth.
Los Angeles is a real reflection of economic disparity,
from
the
Colosseum-like
grandeur of James' Bel-Air
home to the magnetometers in
front of (fictional) Lower South
Central elementary school.
The country really does have a
prison problem, jailing more of
its citizens than anywhere in
the world, black men at six
times the rate of whites.
One of the biggest leaps
here is that a wealthy Wall
Street scoundrel would be facing hard time.
"Get Hard," a Warner Bros.
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of
America for "pervasive crude
and sexual content and language, some graphic nudity,
and drug material." Running
time: 99 minutes. Two and a
half stars out of four.

THE BOLD AND THE
BEAUTIFUL
Having helped her through
an emotionally difficult time,
Brooke thanked Deacon for
being there for her and then
apologized for treating him so
poorly throughout the years.
Quinn was proud of Deacon
for assisting a friend in need
not knowing that the friend’s
Brooke. Katie questioned Rick
about his relationship with
Maya and advised him to
think long and hard before
rushing into anything permanent. Nicole finally got the
answers to the questions that
she has been pondering since
her childhood. Still curious
about the life that Maya had
been living while in Los Angeles, Nicole had many more
questions for her sister. During a staff meeting, Rick made
an example of Ivy by criticizing her work performance in
front of her coworkers. Seeing
the frustration from her
nephew, Pam gave Ridge unsolicited advice on how to interact with Rick. Due to the
disrespectful behavior he witnessed from Rick, Liam’s desire to take over Forrester
Creations intensified. Bill
paid an unwelcomed visit to
Ridge’s home determined to
question his nemesis’ intentions towards Caroline. The
visit took an even more uncomfortable turn when Bill
saw the nude portrait that
Ridge painted of Caroline.
Nicole got more insight into
Maya’s personal and business
life while observing her interaction with Rick. Knowing
the tough day that she had at
the office, Liam planned a romantic surprise for Ivy. Having listened to Katie gush
about her wedded bliss with
Bill, Brooke admitted to her
sister about her recent struggle with loneliness. While
planning the guest list for
their wedding, Quinn suggested that Deacon invite his
friend from his twelve-step
program unaware that the
friend’s Brooke. Knowing that
Nicole is the keeper of her secret, Maya cowered down to
her sister and retracted the
suggestion for her to move
out. Nicole agreed to work on
her relationship with Maya
but asserted that she has certain expectations. Rick called
an unsuspecting Quinn for a
business meeting and proposed that she return to Forrester Creations. During a
twelve-step meeting, Brooke
shared with the other attendees her feelings of loneliness
and thanked Deacon for being
her support system through
her tough times.
THIS WEEK: Katie confides in Bill her concern about
Brooke and the company that
she has been recently keeping.

the temptation that he has
been dealing with, and it doesn’t include alcohol.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 14year-old girl, and my friend
"Leah" is out of control. She has
been going down the wrong
path since sixth grade. She is
what people call "emo."
She has attempted to end
her life more than once. She
has sex with lots of boys older
than her and has issues with
drugs and cutting. She was
abused until she was 5 and
then adopted. She doesn't seem
to have any morals.
She says she wants to become a serial killer and a prostitute when she grows up. She
also wants to have a baby in the
near future. Leah has borderline personality disorder and
probably some others. I have
tried talking to her about what
she's doing to herself, but she
sees nothing wrong with her
destructive behavior.
I want Leah to get help before she winds up raped, in
prison, or on death row, or becomes a teen mother on the
streets. I don't want her to become another number, another
statistic. What should I do?
Who do I call -- the police, social
services, a hotline? -- SCARED
FOR LEAH
DEAR SCARED: Your friend
appears to be a very troubled
and angry girl. If she thinks
that by becoming a prostitute
or a killer she will be able to assert control in her life where
she has none, she's sadly mistaken.
You say she has borderline
personality disorder. If that's
true, it must have been diagnosed by a licensed psychotherapist. Frankly, I don't think
this is anything you can -- or
should -- handle on your own.
If your mother doesn't know
what's going on, please tell her
so she can alert Leah's mother
and Leah can return to her
therapist. However, if that's not
possible, tell a counselor at
school what you have told me
so Leah can receive more treatment before she hurts herself
or someone else.
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend
and I have been together for
three years and have planned
our first vacation together. We
decided to split the expenses
50/50.
Last week, he announced
that he has invited his sister
and her boyfriend to go along
and stay with us in the apartment we rented. Not only was I
shocked that he would invite
them without checking with me
first, I became upset when he
said he wasn't asking them to
pitch in any money. Normally
I'm not stingy when it comes to
sharing, but I'm angry and I
wonder if I'm overreacting.
His mother died last year,
and his sister is the only family
he has left, which he tends to
It would be more diplomatic to
talk to the girls privately and
convey your message.
If you prefer they use better
manners in your home, it is
your right to say that to them.
However, if you call the parents, the parents may think
you are criticizing their parenting skills (and they wouldn't be
wrong).
As to whether you are expecting too much, frankly, you
may be. Sadly, adults who never learned good manners themselves can't pass them on to
their children.
remind me of to make me feel
guilty. How should I react to
this? -- AMBER IN TEXAS
DEAR AMBER: Tell your
boyfriend that out of consideration for you, he should have
cleared it with you before inviting anyone to come along.
When he tries to make you feel
guilty by reminding you that
his sister is all the family he
has left, patiently explain that
you understand that, but this
was supposed to be your first
trip together -- just the two of
you -- and this has taken the romance out of it.
Then make it clear that you
do not intend to foot the bill for
Sissy and her boyfriend because that isn't fair to you. And
if he doesn't agree, cancel the
trip because you wouldn't enjoy
it anyway.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and
I have two daughters whom we
have taught to use good manners. We are proud that they always remember to use their
"pleases" and "thank yous" and
many people have commented
how polite they are.
My problem is the majority
of their friends have little to no
manners at all. They never
thank me when we carpool
places or take them out for
lunch or dinner. I rarely hear
"yes, please" when I offer food
or beverages at my home. Even
my daughters say it at home!
Should I correct their behavior by asking them "What's the
magic word?" Should I tell
them I want them to use their
manners when they are with
me? Should I speak to the parents about it? Or am I expecting too much? -- MANNERS
MAVEN
DEAR MANNERS MAVEN:
I'm sorry you didn't mention
how old your daughters' friends
are, but if they are over the age
of 10, I recommend against asking, "What's the magic word?"
DEAR ABBY: About a year
ago, I loaned a small amount of
money to a close friend I have
known since childhood. She
promised to pay me back, but
has yet to do so. I wasn't too
concerned because it was a
minimal amount, but a few
months ago she asked to borrow a larger amount. Again, I
didn't hesitate to help her out
because she has been there for
me several times in the past in
important ways -- although
they weren't financial.
Because the recent loan was
a large one, I would like to be
repaid. How do I tactfully ask
her for the money without
seeming petty or like I'm nagging? (I don't like confrontation.) And is it too late to ask
that the previous smaller
amount be included as well? -FRIEND, NOT AN ATM
DEAR FRIEND: You don't
have to be confrontational, and
I wouldn't advise it anyway. In
light of the fact that your friend
has made no effort to repay the
first loan for an entire year, it
would be neither pushy nor
nagging to ASK when she intends to start. If she can't come
up with the entire amount, perhaps she can repay a little each
month. However, if she
can't/won't start paying you
back, you may have to accept
that you won't be getting any of
your money.
In the future, you should not
lend anyone money without
first getting a signed note stating that the money is owed to
you and when it will be repaid.
That way, if necessary, you can
take the matter to court and
have a leg to stand on when you
get there.

The Courier Herald
Review: Animated alien adventure 'Home' lands with a thud
In "Home," the latest
adventure from DreamWorks
Animation, the misfit alien
protagonist is called Oh ("The
Big Bang Theory's" Jim
Parsons)
simply
because
that's the resigned reaction
everyone has when he's
around. "Oh," his brethren
say with deep indifference at
his desperate, over-the-top
attempts to fit in and make
friends. It's meant to turn
into something positive by the
end of the film. Unfortunately,
"oh" is also the experience of
watching "Home," an earnest
exercise that falls flat, despite
the best of intentions.
The film, adapted from
Adam Rex's beloved kids book
"The
True
Meaning
of
Smekday," tells the story of an
isolated alien race — the Boov
— who are consistently
staging
elaborate
(albeit
friendly) takeovers on planets
throughout the galaxy as they
run from an intergalactic
enemy. Led by the cowardly,
arrogant
Captain
Smek
(Steve Martin), the Boov are
six-legged creatures with
wide-set eyes and pig tail ears
who change skin colors with
their moods and speak in a
bizarre, jumbled, contractionfree version of English.
For the most part, the Boov
are an ornery bunch who keep
to themselves. Oh is the
exception. After the Boov's
invasion of Earth (in which
all the humans are forcibly
relocated to a new settlement
so that the aliens can have
their homes), Oh sets the plot
in motion by accidentally
emailing a party invitation to
the entire galaxy (including
their enemy).
Suddenly a fugitive from
his own people, he eventually
teams up with Gratuity "Tip"
Tucci, (Rihanna), a 12-yearold girl who avoided the
relocation suction tubes and
was separated from her
In this image released by DreamWorks Animation, characters Oh,
voiced by Jim Parsons, right, and Tip, voiced by Rihanna appear in a
scene from the animated film "Home." (AP Photo/DreamWorks
Animation)
mother,
Lucy
(Jennifer
Lopez). Along with Tip's cat
(named Pig), they set off in a
flying car powered by slushie
machines in search of Lucy.
Director
Tim
Johnson
("Antz") has compiled so
many appealing elements —
including the source material,
the voice cast and a bouncy
Rihanna-heavy soundtrack —
that it's hard to believe
"Home" lands with such a
thud.
Most of the problems are
with Oh. A combination
between Stitch (of "Lilo and
Stitch") and "Star Wars'''Jar
Jar Binks, Oh is pretty
annoying. He might be
earnest and learn a few
lessons on his journey, but
with his manic, destructive
energy and deadly one-liners
("my hands are in the air like
I just do not care"), he is also
not someone you'd want to
keep company with, even for
an hour and a half.
While Tip has the makings
of a compelling, spirited
character, most of that comes
through in the animation and
the help of well-placed pop
songs. Rihanna's jaded and
subdued voice-acting leaves a
lot to be desired. In fact, the
few
successful
emotional
beats take flight when the
film turns into a dialogue-free
music video.
As the buffoonish Boov
leader, Steve Martin has a
few fun riffs, but he seems to
stick to the dull script most of
the time, imbuing life and
enthusiasm into the leaden
dialogue
where
possible.
Jennifer
Lopez's
role,
meanwhile,
is
almost
nonexistent.
Visually, the world of
"Home" is somewhat flat and
synthetic, even in 3-D. The
bright-color
palette
and
bubble motifs are appealing,
but without the magic of
superior animated films, the
candy colors start to have a
numbing effect by the end.
"Home" has a good heart,
and yet, much like Oh, its
valiant efforts to be fun just
fizzle.
"Home," a 20th Century
Fox release, is rated PG by
the
Motion
Picture
Association of America for
"mild action and some rude
humor." Running time: 94
minutes. One and a half stars
out of four.
Review: 'Inspector of the Dead" is masterful work
David Morrell's
"Inspector of the
Dead," a sequel to
"Murder as a Fine
Art,"
tells
the
riveting story of a
man determined to
exact revenge for
injustices done to
him and his family.
The
people
he
intends to murder
range
from
a
shopkeeper
to
Queen Victoria.
His brutal — and
often theatrical — killings
take place in mid-Victorian
London, but have
the immediacy of
something
happening
today.
Morrell
has
researched the era
thoroughly to bring
it vividly to life.
The
drama
begins in February
1855, with England
in the doldrums.
The
government
has collapsed over
the
public's
dissatisfaction with
its handling of the Crimean
War.
Life in London gets more
unsettling because the killer,
who has already murdered
people within easy reach, is
now ready to go after more
prominent victims.
Thomas De Quincey, a reallife writer of the era, is a
fictitious sleuth in the story,
but the novel's real star is
"the revenger." The ingenious
ways he plans and executes
his killings are mesmerizing.
Morrell
makes
him
an
unforgettable character, and
"Inspector of the Dead" is a
masterful work.
