Super Tuesday voting set for 12-hour blitz, 8-8
By ALLEN MINCEY
Banner Staff Writer
Super Tuesday is less than 24 hours
away, and Bradley County voters are
expected to fill the precincts to cast ballots in the Presidential Preference
Primary.
Seventeen precincts will open Tuesday
at 8 a.m., and remain open until 8 p.m.
The only change in this year’s voting
precincts is that those who normally vote
at the old Blythe Avenue Elementary
School will now vote at the Museum
Center at Five Points on Inman Street.
Other precincts include: McDonald,
Prospect, Hopewell, E.L. Ross, Walker
Valley, Lee University, the Senior Center,
Oak Grove, Michigan Avenue, BlytheBower, Valley View, Blue Springs,
Waterville, Black Fox, Stuart and
Cleveland High.
Election officials note that with the
exception of the Senior Center and the
Museum Center, all other votes will be
cast at area schools, so caution is
advised.
Early voting numbers were about what
election officials expected, and they said
they are unable to predict Tuesday’s voting through those figures. About 12 per-
cent of active voters cast ballots during
early voting.
The only local race on the ballot is for
Assessor of Property, and incumbent
Stanley Thompson, who is running in the
Republican primary, is the only person
seeking that position. That office will also
be voted on in the August general election.
Both Republican and Democratic candidates for president will be on the ballot,
as will delegates for those candidates. In
some cases, those names will be for candidates who have already dropped from
the race.
Election officials remind those planning on voting on Tuesday that they will
need to bring a photo ID, such as a driver’s license, with them. This will need to
be shown to poll workers before votes can
be cast.

A greeting for Dr. Seuss
‘Happy Birthday’ bash slated Saturday
at CSCC could attract 800 local children
By CHRISTY ARMSTRONG
Banner Staff Writer
If this coming Saturday you need
something to do, you can go rushing to
meet Thing 1 and Thing 2. In sunny or
rainy weather, families can let loose and
say together, “Happy birthday, Dr.
Seuss!”
Early childhood education students
and faculty at Cleveland State
Community College are gearing up for
their annual “Happy Birthday, Dr.
Seuss” event, which will be from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. at the college’s library.
This is the 13th year students at the
college will have planned a free literacy
event for local children, said associate
professor Suzanne Wood.
“We’ve had as many as 800 children
attend,” Wood said. “It has grown leaps
and bounds over the years. We’re expecting a big crowd this year.”
Wood and students in her Language
and Literacy course came up with the
idea for “Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss”
more than a dozen years ago while
brainstorming ways to incorporate service learning into their early childhood
studies.
The decided to hold an on-campus
event centered around popular children’s book author Dr. Seuss and invite
local children to join them.
Born Theodor Seuss Geisel on March
2, 1904, the author and illustrator was
well-known for his whimsical characters
and catchy, tongue-twisting verse. His
“It’s a wonderful event for
parents to enjoy with their
children.”
— Suzanne Wood
work has been revered for generations,
and Wood said the idea was to highlight
an author whose work could be enjoyed
by both children and adults.
“It’s a wonderful event for parents to
enjoy with their children,” Wood said.
Each child receives a free book and is
able to take part in a variety of free
activities, which run the gamut from storytelling to games inspired by Seuss’
books.
Every year, the event’s organizers
choose a featured Dr. Seuss title to give
away. This year’s featured book is called
“What Pet Should I Get?”
The tale follows a brother and sister
as they try to find a new companion,
looking at creatures ranging from everyday dogs and cats to the fantastical
Yents (which live in tents).
Wood said this year’s choice is “very
special” because it will likely be new to
both children and adults alike. “What
Pet Should I Get?” was first published

Denver company steps up
for Fort Hill vets cemetery
By ALLEN MINCEY
Banner Staff Writer
Many have come forward to help
Robert Goins in his volunteer work at the
veterans section at Fort Hill Cemetery,
but he never expected one of them to be
from Colorado.
Goins has been volunteering time for
upkeep at the cemetery for several years,
and this past year, had equipment that
he was using stolen from a building at
the site. That led to many in the local
area donating new equipment, such as
lawnmowers and string trimmers for
Goins to use there, as well as monetary
donations to be used for gasoline, etc.
As Goins asked for the community to
help with replacing the items, he mentioned he wished he had a pressure
washer to clean the veterans’ headstones.
“There is a lot of history here,
and I want to save that for
others to see and for families
who have relatives buried
there. It’s the least I can do.”
— Robert Goins
It was something that he knew was in
addition to what was needed for normal
maintenance at the cemetery, but he said
it would be something that he might look
into in the future.
A company out of Denver saw Goins’
plea and asked if it could donate a pressure washer to the cemetery. Without
knowing exactly how to reach Goins, that

Cemetery.
The
Senate
Education
Committee has approved two
bills sponsored by state Sen.
Todd
Gardenhire
(RChattanooga) to help law enforcement and firefighters.
Under Senate Bill 1719, fulltime law enforcement officers and
firefighters will be eligible for
enrollment in one course per
term at any state-operated institution of higher learning without
paying tuition charges, maintenance fees, student activity fees,
or registration fees.
“Our law enforcement officers
and firefighters put their lives on
the line every day,” said
Gardenhire. “This bill simply
provides them with the ability to
take a course at our state-operated colleges and
universities,
which is especially useful if he or
she has encountered too much
physical or mental stress on the
job and are looking to develop
Gardenhire
other
employment skills.”
Cleveland Fire
Chief
Ron
Harrison said the
bill will enhance
the city’s present
tuition
reimbursement program.
“Ongoing eduHarrison
cation is a way of
life for firefighters
in today's progressive
fire
departments.
Senate Bill 1719
reflects
the
state's
understanding of this,”
said Harrison.
Watson
“The Cleveland
Fire Department
typically has 6 to 8 percent of its
firefighters enrolled in college
programs a any given time, in
addition to the heavy training
load that they carry from the
internal
CFD
Training
Department.
“Successful passage of this bill,
along with the city of Cleveland's
tuition reimbursement program,
allows our first responders to
accomplish their educational
pursuits without some of the typical accompanying financial
stress,” he added.
Bradley County Sheriff Eric
Watson agreed.
“The Bradley County Sheriff’s
Office is providing scholarships
for officers through an agreement
with Cleveland State Community
College and an additional tuitionfee free class would be excellent,”
Watson said. “So many of our
officers and staff wish to extend
their education, this would be
truly worthwhile.”
Enrollment under the bill will
be on a first-come, first-served
basis.
The other Gardenhire bill
passed by the committee provides that every child in
Tennessee under 24 years of age
whose parent is employed as a
full-time law enforcement officer
or full-time firefighter in
Tennessee would receive a 25

Alex steven Belcher
Alex Steven Belcher “Handy,”
17, was granted his angel wings
on Feb. 28, 2016, following a lifelong illness. His final days were
spent surrounded by his family
and friends that Alex had touched
in some small way throughout his
short, yet very memorable life.
His life would seem too short to
many, but those who were
touched by him understood that
quality of existence far exceeds
the quantity of time in which one
lives. His gentle smile could melt
the hearts of those around him
and though he never spoke a
work, his voice and thoughts
could always be heard.
Although Alex’s illness made
him appear frail, he possessed
strength, perservance, and an
ability to overcome incredible
odds and physical challenges.
With his strength, he led us to
believe that each day is a blessing
and an opportunity to create lasting memories.
He
enjoyed
watching
Transformers, Nascar with his
papaw, model airplanes and cars.
With Alex’s passing we remind
others that life is one to be celebrated, although we will miss him
every day, especially his amazing
smile, he will forever remain in our
hearts.

Carrie
Elizabeth
(Wolf)
McConnell, 26, passed away
Friday, Feb. 26, 2016.
She brightened the lives of all
who encountered her and her
light will be missed.
At the time of her death, she
was living in Athens, with her
beloved
husband,
Ryan
McConnell and golden retriever,
Goose.
She was a proud graduate of
Girls Preparatory School in
Chattanooga, after which she
attended UT-Knoxville and UTChattanooga, earning her master’s degree in Professional
School Counseling. She always
had a deep love for people, especially kids, and she was known
for tapping into that love in her
job as a guidance counselor at
McMinn County High School.
Whether it was as a volleyball
coach or a mentor for students,
Her passion for helping others
and ability to better their day with
her sweet smile was unmatched.
She was a follower of Christ and
active member of Broad Street
United Methodist Church in
Cleveland for most of her life.
Recently, she and Ryan started
attending Eastanallee Baptist
Church in Riceville. Her phone
background when she passed
was John 14:27, “I am leaving
you with a gift – peace of mind
and heart. And the peace I give is
a gift the world cannot give. So
do not be troubled or afraid.”
Although it was unexpected, the
family takes comfort that she was
at peace when she passed away.
She was an avid fisherwoman,
but always allowed Ryan to bait
her hook and take her catch off
the line. She was a connoisseur
of both dance and candy. She
despised public speaking, but
always had a large friend group.
Her favorite time of the year was
always the family beach vacation
at St. George Island, Fla.
At 7 years old, she was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy, which required a heart

Cary S. Stevens, 48, of Lenoir
City died Friday, Feb. 26, 2016.
He was born in Florida and
attended school there except for a
few years in Louisville, Ky.
His claim to fame was that he
enjoyed sharing his middle school
years in Florida with Pro Football
Hall of Famer Michael Irvin.
He was a good and kind person
who never met a stranger and
made a difference in the lives of
the people that met him because
of his genuine interest in others.
He enjoyed not just talking to people but caring and encouraging
others, which made him so good
at his job as a Humana Insurance
Sales Representative. His relationships with others quickly
made Cary the go-to person for
advice.
He and his wife Ginger attended North Star Community Church
in Knoxville and previously
attended Christway Community
Church in Ooltewah and FirstCentenary UMC Church in
Chattanooga.
Having lived in Louisville as a
child, he was an avid Louisville
Cardinal Fan and following this
team brought him much joy. His
cousin, Carol will miss him texting
her during the games.
He was preceded in death by
his father, Alvin Sussman.
He was a loving husband, a
doting father and a devoted son.
His daughter, Abby, was truly the
light of his life and he recently
moved to the Knoxville area to be
closer to her. All who knew Cary
even in the slightest way knew of
his love and affection for Abby.

Vets of ’05
truce don’t
see accord
in court pick
WASHINGTON (AP) — With ideological control of the Supreme
Court at stake and senators trading insults, lawmakers who helped
the Senate avert a meltdown over
judges a decade ago say today’s
political climate is too toxic for a
bipartisan pact to replace the late
Justice Antonin Scalia.
President Barack Obama has
not announced a pick, yet nearly
all the Senate’s majority
Republicans seem dug in, at least
for now, against even meeting with
his nominee this election year, let
alone confirming one. Democrats
are adamant about trying to topple the blockade led by Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., or trying to make the GOP
suffer in November’s voting, and
the rhetoric reflects the issue’s
intensity.
“Senate Republicans are giving
a middle finger to the American
people, and they’re giving a middle
finger to this president,” said Sen.
Christopher Murphy, D-Conn.
With top senators from each
party preparing to discuss the
standoff with Obama at the White
House Tuesday, here’s a look at
the atmosphere on Capitol Hill as
the battle resumes over filling a
vacancy that would tip the court’s
4-4 balance. But first, a look back
at:
———
THE GANG OF 14
In 2005, Senate Democrats
were in the minority and blocking
final votes on a batch of President
George W. Bush’s judicial nominees.
Though none of the openings
were on the Supreme Court,
Majority Leader Bill Frist, RTenn., was threatening to unilaterally change Senate rules so
Democrats couldn’t filibuster
Bush’s selections with procedural
delays. With Democratic leaders
not backing down, the standoff
threatened to end all traces of
cooperation between the two parties and derail virtually all legislation.
Moderate, rank-and-file senators, seven from each party,
formed an informal “Gang of 14.”
The group had enough votes to
force a middle ground — no rule
changes by Republicans, and no
unreasonable filibusters by
Democrats.
———
CAN THAT HAPPEN IN 2016?
Hard to see it.
This year the stakes are far
higher, with the highest court’s
philosophical leanings in play and
the issue already a hot-button dispute that could affect this fall’s
presidential and congressional
elections.
“The atmosphere is too poisonous on all sides,” Sen. John
McCain, R-Ariz., one of three
remaining Gang of 14 members,
said last week. “There was more of
an environment of working together.”
Gone are Gang of 14 stalwarts
like the late Robert Byrd, DW.Va., and John Warner, R-Va.,
defenders of the chamber’s tradition of comity. Also gone are senators who had electoral motivation to compromise, including
Democrats from GOP states
such as Mary Landrieu of
Louisiana and Mark Pryor of
Arkansas, plus Republican
Lincoln Chafee of Democratic
Rhode Island. Chafee eventually
became a Democrat.
“That attitude has been
replaced, in many ways on both
sides, by sort of the House’s attitude of, ‘What can we do to get one
more marble than those guys,’ “
said Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C., referencing the typically
combative tactics of that chamber.
Graham and Sen. Susan Collins,
R-Maine, are the only other members of the group remaining in the
Senate.
This time, McCain and Graham
are backing the GOP barrier
against any Obama pick. Collins
favors holding committee hearings
on a nominee.

PresidentiAL cAndidAte Sen. Marco Rubio shakes hands
during a rally at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala.,
Saturday.
Rubio takes the offensive
in an effort to slow Trump
KENNESAW, Georgia (AP) — A
flood of mainstream Republican
officials and donors have lined up
behind Marco Rubio in the week
since former Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush suspended his campaign
for president.
And yet Rubio’s team concedes
that neither the influx of support,
nor the conversion of many of
Bush’s wealthy donors, is enough
to stop Donald Trump.
Instead of riding the wave of
new support alone, Rubio has
been forced to speed up plans for
an all-out assault on the billionaire businessman’s character.
Rubio had hoped to wait until
the chaotic Republican nominating campaign had shrunk to a
two-man race. But with a growing sense of urgency among GOP
stalwarts to settle on a Trump
alternative, the young Florida
senator is trying to simultaneously slow Trump and cast himself the savior of the party’s
future.
“I will never quit. I will never
stop until we keep a con man
from taking over the party of
Reagan and the conservative
movement,” Rubio thundered at
a rally with 2,000 people in
Oklahoma City on Friday.
It is a delicate balance.
Rubio, a 44-year-old first-term
U.S. senator, is trying to project
leadership in the party while also
going after Trump using his own
game, marked by mockery and
uncanny aim for his opponent’s
vulnerabilities.
But the hard-nosed strategy is
necessary, says Tennessee Gov.
Bill Haslam, Rubio’s latest big
endorsement.
“Rubio looked around and
thought, ‘Well, I might not like it,
but that’s what the media is covering and that’s what people are
responding to.’”
But Rubio is quickly getting a
feel for what he began during
Thursday’s debate, launching a
direct challenge to Trump’s
appeal to working class voters.
In recent days, Rubio has
dished about Trump’s on-stage
perspiration and alluded, jokingly, that Trump may have wet his
pants. He’s also taken to referring to the billionaire businessman as a “con artist” dozens of
times a day while campaigning.
“It’s amazing to me. A guy with
the worst spray tan in America is
attacking me for putting on
makeup,” Rubio charged as he
campaigned in Georgia on
Saturday. “Donald Trump likes
to sue people. He should sue
whoever did that to his face.”
But make no mistake: Rubio’s
new tack is a fight for survival.
He trails Trump in virtually all
of the 11 states holding nominating contests on March 1, known
as Super Tuesday. The Florida
senator has finished in no better
than second place in the first
four primary contests. Trump
has won three out of four. And
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz remains a
top-tier contender, even after finishing in third place in the last
three contests.
Given Trump’s momentum,
Rubio’s team says publicly the
senator’s best chance for the
nomination might be a contested
national convention in July. That
could happen only if Rubio prevents Trump from accumulating
the majority of delegates in the
months-long primary season that
extends through June.
Some Florida-based donors, as
well as top donors and fundraisers in Washington, D.C., Chicago
and elsewhere were ready to join
Rubio’s team immediately after
Bush left the race.
“There are a number of us, now
that Gov. Bush is out of the race,
who were very impressed with his
debate Thursday, and see him as
the one to take down Trump,”
said Chicago investor Craig
Duchossois, who shifted from
Bush to Rubio. “He showed he’s
not going to take any crap from
him.”
In the past two weeks, Rubio
has also won the backing of four
governors and 20 members of
Congress, more than all of his
Republican rivals combined.
Rubio had hoped to forestall a
one-on-one brawl with Trump
until there were only two. Cruz,
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and
retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson
remain in the race, although
none have the level of support
from as many governors and
members of Congress as Rubio.
In a year of the outsider, however, it’s unclear how much that
will boost his momentum.
And in the meantime, Rubio’s
assault on Trump’s character
continues.
Audiences in Super Tuesday
states Oklahoma, Georgia and
Alabama ate up the tough talk as
he whipped through Southern
states.
“It’s about time he take his
gloves off and start fighting,” said
Gary Baker from Okmulgee,
Oklahoma. “I think he should
have started punching sooner.”
Better late than never, said
Greg Strimple, a Republican pollster and former adviser to the
National Republican Senatorial
Committee.
Cleveland Daily Banner—Monday, February 29, 2016—3
The South takes its place in 2016 campaign spotlight
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP)
— The South steps into the spotlight of the 2016 presidential election in this week’s Super Tuesday
contests, a delegate-rich day that
will highlight the region’s sharp
demographic and ideological
divides.
In what was once a Democratic
stronghold, the party now controls one governor’s mansion, one
Senate seat and no legislative
chambers from the Carolinas
westward to Texas.
The region’s flip to Republican
bulwark is steeped in decades-old
shifts in the national parties that
accelerated under President
Barack Obama, who had little
connection to white Southerners
who used to keep Democrats in
power.
That’s left the South a starker,
more sharply divided microcosm
of the demographic dynamics at
play across the country.
Republican presidential candidates are fighting for support
from a mostly white electorate,
including many voters who feel
alienated by broad economic and
cultural changes. Democrats will
depend on growing minority populations and voters clustered in
heavily populated urban areas.
In the upcoming Southern primaries, that means Hillary
Clinton could sweep the region,
but with Democratic electorates
that have much larger proportions of African-Americans than
those that propelled her husband’s successful 1992 presidential campaign.
The changes have given
Republican Donald Trump, hardly a conservative by traditional
definitions, an unexpected
foothold with voters who feel
emboldened in the South and left
behind by their party’s leaders in
Washington.
Trump
has
campaigned
through the South with a rallying
cry that long has resonated in the
region.
“The silent majority is back!” he
declared.
Trump’s rhetoric harkened
back to Richard Nixon’s
“Southern strategy,” a concerted
effort to bolster support from
working class white voters in the
elections that followed passage of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Nixon
made frequent references to the
“silent majority” and the “forgotten majority.”
To Richard Fording, chairman
of the political science department at the University of
Alabama, there are similarities in
the angst Nixon saw brewing in
the Southern electorate a halfcentury ago and what Trump is
tapping into now.
“A lot of it has to do with race:
the first black president, immigration, other threats to social
and cultural values,” Fording
said. “There’s a lot of anger and
it’s very satisfying for people to
listen to Donald Trump.”
Exit polls from last week’s
Republican primary in South
Carolina — the first Southern
state to vote in the 2016 contest
— showed that Trump can draw
votes from the evangelical
Christians and social conservatives who are the cornerstone of
the GOP electorate in the region.
In Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia
and Tennessee, all states that
vote on Tuesday, evangelicals
make up about 40 percent or
more of the population, according
to the Pew Research Center.
Texas, which also votes Tuesday,
lags slightly behind with about 31
percent evangelicals.
Unlike Trump, Hillary Clinton’s
ties to the South run deep. She
spent 12 years as the first lady of
Arkansas and was active in the
state during her husband’s
tenures as governor.
But the political shifts across
the region have dramatically
remade the Democratic electorate
she faces on Super Tuesday.
When Bill Clinton was on the
ballot in the 1992 Democratic primaries, the electorate in Georgia
was 70 percent white and 29 percent black. In Alabama that same
year, the Democratic primary
electorate was 76 percent white
and 23 percent black.
By 2008, exit poll data from
Democratic primaries showed a
dramatic shift of whites away
from the party in Southern states.
In Georgia, 42 percent of voters
were white and 52 percent black.
In Alabama, it was 44 percent
white and 51 percent black.
As the demographics have
changed,
the
conservative
Democrats who once represented
the South in Congress and in governor’s mansions have disappeared. Nowhere did that happen
more abruptly than in Arkansas.
For years, Arkansas defiantly
remained Democratic while its
neighbors moved toward the GOP.
But Janine Parry, a political science professor at the University of
Arkansas, said Obama was “so
cosmopolitan that Arkansans
could just not identify with him.”
Every Democrat at every level of
government was essentially
linked to Obama and fell like
dominos,
including
Sens.
Blanche Lincoln in 2010 and
Mark Pryor in 2014.

the South, party leaders see reasons to hope the region can at
least become competitive in the
near future.
A majority of black Americans
now live in the South, reversing a
decades-long trend of migration
to the north, and the Hispanic

Navy SEAL to receive Medal of Honor
WASHINGTON
(AP)
—
President Barack Obama is set
to award the nation’s highest
military honor to a Navy SEAL
who helped rescue an American
hostage in December 2012.
Edward Byers, a senior chief
in the Navy, will be the 11th living service member to be awarded the Medal of Honor for
actions in Afghanistan. The ceremony is scheduled to take
place Monday at the White
House.
Byers took part in the rescue
of Dr. Dilip Joseph, who was
abducted along with his driver
and Afghan interpreter.
An unclassified summary of
the rescue provided by the
Defense Department said Byers
flung himself on top of the doctor, shielding him from rounds
being fired in the room. At the
same time, he pinned a guard
against the wall with his hand
“around the enemy’s throat”
until another SEAL was able to
shoot the guard.
Byers’ team had been spotted
by a guard when it neared the
building. Byers was the second
person on the team to reach the
door, the summary said. As he
tried to rip down the blankets
that served as a door, the first
solider to arrive pushed his way
through the doorway and was
immediately shot; Byers also
entered the building and
engaged a struggling armed
guard, the summary said.
Once inside, Byers heard an
unknown
voice
speaking
English: “He immediately leaped
across the room and selflessly
flung his body on top of the
American hostage, shielding him
from the continued rounds
being fired across the room.
“Almost simultaneously, Chief
Byers identified an additional
enemy fighter directly behind
Dr. Joseph. While covering the
hostage with his body, Chief
Byers was able to pin the enemy
combatant to the wall with his
hand around the enemy’s
throat,” the summary said.
Byers restrained the man until
another SEAL was able to shoot
him dead, the summary said.
Once the doctor was moved to
a helicopter landing zone, Byers,
a certified paramedic, assisted
in providing medical aid to his
wounded colleague, who died of
his wounds. That SEAL has previously been identified as Petty
Officer 1st Class Nicolas D.
Checque, 28, of Monroeville, Pa.
In a video released by the
Navy, Byers said Checque would
forever be remembered for the
sacrifice. “Nic embodied the
essence of what it is to be an
American hero.”
Byers said he got a call from
the president in December that
he would be getting the award.
“Is there a path back?” said
Skip Rutherford, a prominent
Arkansas Democrat and longtime
friend of the Clintons. “There’s
always a path back.”

Anti-Spellings protests backed by faculty-union offshoot
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Activists
supported by one of the country’s
largest labor unions are among
the opponents University of North
Carolina President Margaret
Spellings will face as she becomes
the statewide public university
system’s leader on Tuesday.
Some students are planning a
classroom walkout and rally on
the flagship Chapel Hill campus
Tuesday to protest the arrival of
former President George W.
Bush’s education secretary.
Several groups have held similar
demonstrations since her October
selection by the 17-campus system’s Board of Governors.
They include Faculty Forward
Network, an offshoot of the
Service Employees International
Union’s campus labor organizing
efforts. One of the group’s stated
goals includes opposing Spellings
and the changes she may bring in
her new role.
“SEIU does support Faculty
Forward Network financially and
with other resource support, with
staffing support,” said Malini
Cadambi Daniel, who coordinates
the union’s efforts to organize college and university employees
around the country.
The 2 million member labor
organization represents health
care workers and low-wage workers in other industries, and has
pushed cities to adopt a $15 an
hour minimum wage.
The union’s organizing drive,
called Faculty Forward, has led to
the union group representing
thousands of instructors at the
University
of
Chicago,
Georgetown University and else-
where who are employed in teaching positions that lack the job
security of tenure. Duke
University’s non-tenure-track faculty decided weeks ago to pursue
an election that will decide
whether they will be represented
by a union.
The group’s website describes
its Faculty Forward campaign as
pushing to improve wages and job
security for the three-quarters of
college instructors employed on
an as-needed basis. Union
employees have been used to promote anti-Spellings protests.
The Faculty Forward Network,
which shares a Manhattan office
address with a philanthropy that
helps fund progressive organizations around the country, shares
goals with the union’s similarlynamed organizing drive. Faculty
Forward Network specifically
states one of its missions as seeking Spellings’ ouster.
“Spellings embodies the corporatization of higher education,”
the group says on its website.
“She is a political appointee, and
she was on the board of the parent company of a for-profit school
and a student debt collection
agency.”
Spellings has served on corporate boards for the parent company of the for-profit University of
Phoenix and student-loan collector Ceannate Corp. She takes
over the UNC system after heading the George W. Bush
Presidential Center in Dallas.
Spokesmen for the center didn’t
respond when asked if Spellings
would stay on the organization’s
board of directors.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In an
underdog win for a movie about
an underdog profession, the
newspaper drama “Spotlight”
took best picture Sunday at an
Academy Awards riven by protest
and outrage, and electrified by an
unflinching Chris Rock.
Tom McCarthy’s film about the
Boston Globe’s investigative
reporting on sexual abuse by
Roman Catholic priests won over
the favored frontier epic “The
Revenant.” McCarthy’s well-crafted procedural, led by a strong
ensemble cast, had lagged in the
lead-up to the Oscars, losing
ground to the flashier filmmaking
of Alejandro Inarritu’s film.
But “Spotlight” — an ode to the
hard-nose, methodical work of a
journalism increasingly seldom
practiced — took the night’s top
honor despite winning only one
other Oscar for McCarthy and
Josh Singer’s screenplay. Such a
sparsely-awarded best picture
winner hasn’t happened since
1952’s “The Greatest Show On
Earth.”
“We would not be here today
without the heroic efforts of our
reporters,” said producer Blye
Pagon Faust. “Not only do they
effect global change, but they
absolutely show us the necessity
for investigative journalism.”
The night, however, belonged to
host Rock, who launched immediately into the uproar over the
lack of diversity in this year’s
nominees, and didn’t let up. “The
White People’s Choice Awards,”
he called the Oscars, which were
protested beforehand outside the
Dolby Theatre by the Rev. Al
Sharpton, and saw some viewers
boycotting the broadcast.
Rock insured that the topic
remained at the forefront
throughout the evening, usually
finding hearty laughs in the
process. In an award show traditionally known for song-anddance routines and high doses of
glamour, Rock gave the 88th
Academy Awards a charged
atmosphere, keeping with the
outcry that followed a second
straight year of all-white acting
nominees.
“Is Hollywood racist? You’re
damn right it’s racist,” said Rock.
“Hollywood is sorority racist. It’s
like: We like you Rhonda, but
you’re not a Kappa.”
Streaks, broken and extended,
dominated much of the evening.
After going home empty-handed
four times previously, Leonardo
DiCaprio won his first Oscar, for a
best actor in “The Revenant” — a
gruff, grunting performance that
traded little on the actor’s youthful charisma. DiCaprio, greeted
with a standing ovation, took the
moment to talk about climate
change.
“Let us not take our planet for
granted,” said DiCaprio. “I do not
take tonight for granted.”
His director, Inarritu won backto-back directing awards after the
triumph last year of “Birdman.”
It’s a feat matched by only two
other filmmakers: John Ford and
Joseph L. Mankiewicz. “The
Revenant” also won best cinematography for Emmanuel
Lubezki, who became the first
cinematographer to win three
times in a row (following wins for
“Gravity” and “Birdman”), and
only the seventh to three-peat in
Oscar history.
Inarritu, whose win meant
three straight years of Mexican
filmmakers winning best director,
was one of the few winners to
remark passionately on diversity
in his acceptance speech.
“What a great opportunity for
our generation to really liberate
ourselves from all prejudice and

Looking out for danger
Mini
Mini Fact:
Fact:
Kids should also be comfortable
telling an adult if they see or hear
something that seems dangerous. But
experts say we shouldn’t label a certain
type of person as dangerous. Signs of
danger should be based on behavior, or
how a person acts — not on how he or
she looks or is dressed.
For example, if someone is acting
angrily or seems to be hiding something,
it could be time to alert an adult.

Over the past year or so, Americans and
people around the world have heard a lot of
scary news. Listening to news reports about
tragic events can make us feel afraid for our
own s afety.
The Mini Page spoke with an expert to find
out how kids can manage their ffeeelings about
safety and security when the news is bad.
What is terrorism?
We hear about terrorism, but we may not
be sure exactly what it means. Terrorism
is the use of violent or destructive acts to
frighten people. T
Teerrorists usually have a
goal — to show their power, to get revenge,
or to make a statement about how they
think people should act.
For instance, in the attacks in Paris last
November, a group calling itself the Islamic
State was seeking revenge for military action
by the French in Syria and Iraq.
But not all bad news is considered to be
terrorism. We
We can also be upset by tragic
accidents or natural disasters.
How we react
News of events like those in Paris can be
overwhelming. W
Wee may have many questions
about what happened. Kids may want to know:
1. Why would someone do this?
2. Do I have to worry about something like
this happening to me?
3. Could I have done anything to prevent
this event?
The answers to these questions can be
really complicated. We
We can’t always figure out
why a person or group would terrorize other
people. Ev
Even if we can find a reason, it may
not make sense to us.
Especially when something bad happens
in a kid’s life, he may wonder if it’s his
fault. Yo
Younger kids may come up with an
explanation that helps them fe
feel safer. For
example, if a small school bus is involved in
a bad crash, a child may ffeeel safe only if she
rides a big school bus, even though in reality
that may not be any safer.
Keep talking
Remember, if you’re worried or upset
about tragic
events in the
news, it’s
important
to talk with
others. Bad
feelings
are like a

fungus — if we don’t
treat them, they’ll just keeping growing.
Don’t be afraid to tell a friend, family
member or teacher that you’re concerned
about what you’ve heard.
How can we feel safe?
After a frightening event, kids may start
to worry about something
similar happening in their
community. If you’re
worried, it’s important to
share your fears with your
family or teachers. For

example, you might want
to discuss:
1. What’s being done to keep you safe? For
instance, your school doors may be locked.
2. T
Ta
alk about your specific ffeears. Sometimes
the things that scare us are based on our
misunderstanding of what has happened.
3. How can you manage your feelings?
You might feel better if you can help others in
your school or community. Wa
Watching the news
with your family, then talking about it, may
help. Sometimes, a hug from Mom or Dad or
a favorite teacher is just the thing you need.

Happy Birthday: Be willing to listen
and accept the inevitable. Show
strength and courage regardless of
what others do or say. Discipline will
By Ned Classics
By Conrad Day
see you through any challenge you
face. Choose to be creative instead of
indulgent. Practicality and common
sense with regard to health, wealth
and love will help you gain steadily
throughout the year and achieve the
happiness you deserve. Your numbers
are 9, 16, 23, 34, 37, 42, 46.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take
your place at the top where you
belong. Show everyone what you have
to offer. Dig in and don't stop until you
are satisfied with your performance. A
personal victory will require a celebration with someone you love.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Look
for opportunities through people you
have worked with in the past.
Someone you thought was gone from
your life forever will surprise you.
Protect your money and possessions. Now is not the time to take a
risk.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stay
one step ahead of the competition.
Observe what everyone else is doing
and be ready to step up your game
and outsmart anyone who messes with
you. Your charm and intelligence will
make someone jealous.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You'll
learn something valuable from someone who comes from a different background than you. You will be able to
improve your relationships with others
and your domestic environment if you
are open to change and compromise.
Let your imagination lead the way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pick up the
pace, but don't be too quick to part with
your money. The more you can do for
yourself, the easier it will be on your
bank account. A serious suggestion
involving someone you fancy will
improve your relationship.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Start a
conversation with someone you find
innovative. Together you will come up
with a plan that can turn into a prosperous joint venture. Putting in hard work
on a demanding project will pay off.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Go after
what you want. Laziness will make you
look bad and will not bring about the
change you long for. Get with it and
make things happen. Your charm and
intellectual appeal will help you persuade others to pitch in and help.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep
your opinion to yourself or you might
regret it. Spend your time doing something creative that encourages you to
get out with friends who enjoy the
same activities or events as you. Don't
pick a fight.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Be careful when dealing with someone
who is trying to manipulate your emotions. Make changes at home that will
improve your life and encourage you to
take on projects that will result in more
comfort and convenience. Romance
will enhance your life.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Offer help when it is deserved. Don't
get sucked into doing something that
will only prolong the inevitable. Use
common sense and be prepared to
walk away from any deal or request
that will leave you at a loss.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A
change in how you earn your living or
handle your money is favored. Don't
be afraid to walk away from a bad situation or a poor influence. Take control
of your life and market your skills. Love
is highlighted.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Negotiations aren't likely to go in your
favor. Bide your time and assess your
situation. Preparation, along with gathering inside information, will be key to
help you present what you'd like to see
unfold. Don't sell yourself short.
Birthday Baby: You are adaptable,
aggressive and persuasive. You are
unpredictable and trendy.

A trip to the City of Angels is meant to be

Jane (Jaimie Alexander) was on the verge
of a major breakthrough in remembering
her past ... and here, in “Cease Forcing

trusted.

China investigating Hong Kong
bookseller sales through mail
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese
police are investigating a
detained Hong Kong bookseller
for allegedly selling books by
mail illegally in mainland
China, a Communist Party
newspaper said Monday, the
latest twist in a case that has
raised concerns over erosion of
civil rights in Hong Kong.
The Global Times reported
that Gui Minhai admitted to
selling more than 4,000 books
in that manner despite knowing
they had not been approved by
China's publications authority.
Gui, who holds Swedish citizenship, was one of four people
connected with Hong Kong's
Mighty Current publishing
house who went missing in
October. He resurfaced in
January, making a tearful
appearance on Chinese state TV
to say he surrendered for fleeing
the country in violation of the
terms of his suspended sentence over a 12-year-old fatal
drunken driving case.
Chinese authorities say three
others connected with Mighty
Current and its retail outlet,
Causeway Bay Bookshop, have
been detained for an investigation into unspecified criminal
activity. Lui Por, Cheung Chi
Ping and Lam Wing Kee are
shareholders or employees of
the company.
Gui disappeared from his
vacation home in Pattaya,
Thailand, while the three others
went missing in mainland
China.
Hong Kong police also said in
a news release late Monday that
they had met another person
linked to the Mighty Current
case, the editor Lee Bo, at a
guesthouse in the mainland,
where Lee told them he was voluntarily assisting a Chinese
investigation into Gui but
refused to disclose other details.
Lee, a British citizen, disappeared on Dec. 30, and many
suspect he was abducted by
mainland Chinese security
agents operating in Hong Kong,
which would be a breach of the
"one country, two systems"
principle Beijing agreed to when
it took control of the city from
Britain in 1997.
Saying he was "free and safe,"
Lee asked the Hong Kong police
to cancel his missing persons
case and stated that he did not
require further assistance from
the territory's government,
according to the Hong Kong
police department, which added
that it is still making inquiries
about the other booksellers.
The European Parliament has
called for the five to be immediately released, joining British,
American and Swedish officials
who have raised concern about
the case.
Mighty Current's books on
political scandals and intrigue
involving China's communist
leaders are popular with mainland Chinese visitors to Hong
Kong, despite their being
banned on the mainland.
Japan signs pact to supply defense
equipment to Philippine military
MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
Japan signed an agreement
Monday to supply defense equipment to the Philippines, the first
such Japanese defense pact in a
region where the U.S. allies have
been alarmed by China’s aggressive advances in disputed territories.
Defense Secretary Voltaire
Gazmin said the agreement he
signed with Japanese ambassador to Manila, Kazuhide
Ishikawa, provides a framework
for the supply of defense equipment and technology and would
allow the Asian countries to carry
out joint research and development projects.
Future talks will determine
what defense equipment could be
supplied, although Gazmin told
reporters without elaborating
that Japan has initially offered a
surveillance aircraft.
“This agreement would really
substantiate the Philippines and
Japan being strategic partners,”
Gazmin said in remarks during
the signing ceremony at the
Department of Defense in metropolitan Manila which was not
opened to the press. “Let me
stress that what underpins this
agreement is not only our desire
to enhance our respective
defense capabilities but also to
contribute to regional peace and
stability.”
Neither
side
mentioned
China’s increasingly assertive
behavior in disputed areas but
that has been a major security
concern by both countries, which
are close American allies. “It’s
not directed against any country,” Gazmin said of the new
defense deal on Saturday.
The Philippines has turned to
the United States, and now
Japan, as it scrambles to modernize its ill-equipped military
after territorial disputes with
China began escalating four
years ago. Japan has a separate
territorial spat with China that
has flared on and off in the East
China Sea.
The Philippines’ security aspirations dovetail with Japan’s
nascent steps to be a larger security presence in the region, where
memories remain of its brutal
World War II invasions.
The two countries have openly
brought their security and political ties to new levels, including
by holding joint naval search and
rescue drills last year.

Aquino III and Japanese Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe have

Party newspaper Global Times said Monday, that Gui had admitted to selling more than 4,000 books by
mail despite knowing they had not been approved by China’s publications authority.
swapped visits and vowed to
intensify defense cooperation,
sparking talks about a possible
security pact that will allow
Japanese forces to hold larger
drills with Filipino troops in the
Philippines. The Philippines has
signed such visiting forces
accords with the United States
and Australia.
Last year, Japan’s parliament
approved contentious legislation
that enhances the role of the
country’s military by loosening
post-World War II constraints. Its
military can now defend its allies
even when the country isn’t
under attack and work more
closely with other nations.
Japan has forged similar pacts
with the U.S. and Australia, but
the Philippines is the first
Southeast Asian country to have
such a defense deal with Tokyo,
Gazmin said.
Aside from China and the
Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia,
Brunei and Taiwan have conflicting claims in the South China
Sea, a major conduit for world
trade. The U.S. lays no claims to
the waters, but says it has an
interest in ensuring freedom of
navigation and overflight and
non-use of force and coercion to
assert claims.
Russian workers scared of speaking out
TOGLIATTI, Russia (AP) —
Once intended as a Soviet rival to
the capitalist symbol of Detroit,
Russia’s auto-making hub of
Togliatti is sliding into economic
depression. And blue collar workers are taking the brunt of the
pain as employers use the threat
of joblessness to slash or withhold wages at will.
Far from its 1960s roots as a
socialist vision of the future, central Togliatti is lined with discount retailers, payday lenders
and pawnshops as the recession
has cratered the car market.
Workers from the vast Lada car
factory say they’re increasingly
desperate but too scared to speak
out due to what they claim is the
threat of retaliation by managers.
“People are frightened to say
even a single word,” production
worker and union activist
Nataliya Yemshanova said at a
union meeting in a member’s
apartment. “I can’t remember
that happening before. They can
pay less money. People will agree
to any wage.”
Yemshanova provided The
Associated Press with pay slips
showing monthly earnings of just
10,300 rubles ($135) in January.
She said her pay was slashed by
half after she refused a demand
to switch to cleaning floors, and
claimed some managers at
AvtoVAZ, the company which
owns the Lada factory, were
using the threat of unemployment to force workers — especially those critical of the management — to accept lower pay.
A payslip in the name of
Yemshanova’s brother, who
works for the same company,
shows earnings of 7,800 rubles
($100) for January.
Sitting near Yemshanova at the
meeting, union leader Anna
Perova, who has worked for
AvtoVAZ since the Soviet era,
held up her right hand to show
how she lost parts of four fingers
in 2011 — crushed, she says, by
a faulty metal press. She warns of
a rise in industrial accidents as
budgets for maintenance and
training come under strain.
“People are sent to different production areas where they don’t
understand what’s going on. That
happened recently. A woman
pressed a button for an examination and her hand was utterly
crushed,” she said. Perova’s
account could not be independently confirmed by the AP.
AvtoVAZ and Renault-Nissan, a
French-Japanese alliance that
controls AvtoVAZ through a holding company, did not respond to
requests for comment on the allegations of wage cuts and industrial accidents.
Many of Togliatti’s major
employers supply the factory,
meaning the car market’s malaise
infects the city as a whole.
AvtoVAZ lost almost $1 billion in
2015 and its liabilities exceed its
assets, leading auditors Ernst &
Young to warn of “a material
uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on (Avtovaz’s) ability to continue as a going concern.”
The company is the highestprofile casualty of a plunging car
market, where sales dropped by
more than a third last year and
some foreign firms, including
General Motors, have pulled out
entirely.
Lada’s factory is now implementing a cost-saving plan that
includes a reduction in head
count. Moving to a four-day week
this month has essentially meant
a 20 percent pay cut across the
board, on top of the arbitrary
wage cuts workers claim to have
suffered.
President Vladimir Putin and
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev
have shown support for the
industry with a string of factory
visits and promised some state
support, though the numbers are
unclear.
Under Renault and Nissan’s
ownership of AvtoVAZ, there has
been a drive to modernize the
Lada range with new models
based on Renault designs, but
this has meant importing parts
and exposing the Soviet-era network of parts suppliers in the city
to
extra
competition.
AvtoVAZagregat, a company
which made interiors for AvtoVAZ
cars but is under separate ownership, ceased production last
year and is now in bankruptcy
proceedings, leaving more than
2,000 people out of work. CEO
Viktor Kozlov has been arrested
on suspicion of tax fraud.
Elena
Seliverstova,
who
worked for AvtoVAZagregat in
purchasing for 25 years, showed
the AP documents detailing an
ever-increasing portion of unpaid
monthly wages since July, culminating in January, when she
received none of her monthly
earnings of almost 23,000 rubles
($300), money she needs to support her elderly mother.
“You know, it’s a complete
catastrophe,” she said through
tears. Only financial help from
her son has prevented her electricity from being cut off in the
middle of winter, Seliverstova
said.
Mechanic Andrei Dobrokhotov
said he had not received any
money from AvtoVAZagregat
since June, forcing his family to
depend on cheap foods like barley. Both he and Seliverstova said
they had looked for new work but
found
none,
and
that
AvtoVAZagregat had retained
documents of theirs that are
required by law when registering
at a new workplace.
More than 1,000 people
protested the AvtoVAZagregat
collapse on a Togliatti square in
November, demanding unpaid
wages, in a demonstration organized by local communists.
Seliverstova, who was there,
doubts political action by workers can force the payment of
wage arrears or get support from
the city government, which is
itself under pressure due to
lower tax receipts from the car
industry.
Russian legislation stacks the
deck against workers, she says.
While the Russian constitution
guarantees the right to strike, in
practice the process of organizing
a strike is intensely bureaucratic, involving numerous documents that can easily be ruled
invalid by officials or courts.
Many companies also agree to
recognize only so-called official
unions with links to management
or local authorities.

Season comes to an
abrupt end for Raiders
By RICHARD ROBERTS
Banner Sports Editor
COOKEVILLE — With less
than two minutes left on the
clock, Cleveland senior T.J.
Constant sat at the end of the
bench with his head in his
hands as the Cavaliers sank
the dagger deeper into the
heart of the Blue Raiders' season from the free-throw line.
After battling for four hotly
contested quarters, Constant
and his teammates were
forced to close the book on
their basketball season with a
68-54 Region 3-AAA quarterfinals loss to Cookeville.
Constant did his part with
11 heard-earned points, but
for the most part Cleveland
found points hard to come by
failing to convert more often
than not from the inside and
particularly from 3-point
range. The Raiders missed 17
of 20 from behind the arc.
Constant's buzzer beating
shot at the end of the first
quarter was the only 3 for the
Raiders until Deontae Davis'
quarter-opening trey in the
third. Cantrel Ware hit the
final 3-pointer for Cleveland
with 38 seconds left to play.
Romeo Wykle and K.K.
Curry also reached double figures with 10 points apiece.
“It was definitely a rough
night from the floor,” said a
subdued Blue Raiders coach
Jason McCowan as he looked
over the scorebook in the locker room after the game. “We
only scored 20 points going
into halftime and I told them I
didn't see any problem seeing
us beating someone 75-60,
but we can't win if we are just
going to score 20 points. We
played a little bit better the
second half, but we just struggled offensively.”
Constant's 3 cut a ninepoint Cookeville lead to 13-11
headed into the second quarter where Wykle drive through
the lane resulted in a layup
that tied the game at 13-all.
But back-to-back-to back
Cookeville 3s ultimately
proved to be an unrecoverable
blow to the Raiders who managed only five points in the
final four minutes of the first.

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Jimmie
Johnson smoked his tires crossing the finish line, celebrating
another win at Atlanta Motor
Speedway.
Then he realized what it really
meant.
Johnson stuck his hand out of
the No. 48 car, holding up three
fingers.
It was his little tribute to the
Intimidator.
Johnson used pit strategy and
a late yellow to claim the 76th
victory of his career Sunday,
pulling even with the late Dale
Earnhardt on the NASCAR
career list.
Only six drivers have won
more.
“This is special for sure,” said
Johnson, who began his Cup
career shortly after Earnhardt
was killed in a wreck on the last
lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.
“There was a big void in my
mind not having a chance to
race against him. I was literally
a handful of months away from
having the opportunity. To tie
him today, for me personally,
gives me a little bit of attachment to the great Dale
Earnhardt.”
Johnson won the race in overtime, crossing the line under
yellow after the only wreck of the
day. In a poignant touch, teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the
runner-up.
“If he’s gonna tie that record,
I’m certainly glad I got to run
second,” Junior said. “I think
my dad would’ve thought the
world of him.”
Kevin Harvick led 131 laps,
more than anyone else, but
ceded the lead after he made his
last green-flag pit stop nine laps
after Johnson. The No. 48 car
made a quicker stop and wound
up with about a 14-second lead,
then watched it fade away as
Harvick gave chase on newer
tires.
Harvick was about 5 seconds
behind when Ryan Newman cut
a tire and spun on the front
stretch with three laps to go,
bringing out only the second yellow flag of the race. With overtime looming, everyone came to

Lady Vols Cruise Past Georgia on Senior Day
From UTSPORTS.COM
KNOXVILLE — Diamond DeShields
scored a game-high 22 points and
Bashaara Graves recorded her 29th career
double-double as Tennessee rolled past
Georgia in the season finale, 80-60, at
Thompson-Boling Arena.
With 80 total points, Tennessee (17-12,
8-8 SEC) notched its highest points total
in SEC play this season and its most in
any game this season since scoring 90 in
a win over Stetson on Dec. 30.

ble-digit scorers, notching 12 points to go
along with her game-high 10 rebounds.
Caliya Robinson's 17 points led the way
for Georgia (21-9, 9-8 SEC), followed by 13
from Pachis Roberts and 12 for Tiaria
Griffin.
UT's only deficit came after the first
basket of the game -- a jumper from
Georgia's Halle Washington. The Lady Vols
responded with a 12-0 run and never
looked back, leading by as many as 25
midway through the third quarter.
The Lady Vols set the tone early,
responding to Georgia's opening basket
with a 12-0 run over the following four
minutes. Graves was instrumental during
the run, scoring eight points on 4-of-4
shooting and pulling down four rebounds.
During the spurt, Tennessee out-rebounded Georgia by an 11-2 margin while also
keeping the Lady Bulldogs off the scoreboard for a stretch of nearly five minutes.
Another 10-0 run to end the quarter
saw the Lady Vols jump out to a 22-4
advantage after the opening stanza.
Posting its best defensive quarter of the
season, UT limited UGA to just 2-of-15
(13.3 percent) shooting from the field over
the first 10 minutes and Georgia's four
first-quarter points were the fewest
allowed by Tennessee in any quarter this
season.
The Lady Vols' lead grew to as many as
22 in the second quarter when DeShields
knocked down her second 3-pointer of the
period at the 3:49 mark. That trey, which
gave her 14 points in the first half, gave
UT a 37-17 lead.
Another 3-pointer, this time off the fin-
gers of Kortney Dunbar with just over a
minute until halftime, sent Tennessee into
intermission with a 40-24 lead -- its
largest halftime lead during SEC play.
UT's 40 first-half points were its most
since scoring 41 over the first two periods
of a 75-57 home win over Arkansas on
Feb. 4.
The second half belonged to Cooper,
who scored 16 of her 21 points over the
final 20 minutes. The freshman went 8-of9 from the field in the second half on her
way to 10-of-14 shooting for the game.
The Lady Vols controlled the game in all
facets, forcing 22 turnovers while outrebounding the Lady Bulldogs 44-31. UT
also enjoyed a 31-22 edge in bench points
and finished with 34 points in the paint
compared to just 20 for UGA.
Lee softball suffers sweep by Delta State
CLEVELAND, Miss. — Delta
State University remained undefeated in conference play after
posting a 7-2 victory over the
Lee softball team on Sunday
afternoon from University Field.
The Lady Flames (9-10, 2-7)
have now lost six straight Gulf
South Conference (GSC) games
but have faced the uphill battle
of playing two teams on the road
that are still unblemished in
league play in the Lady
Statesmen (17-4, 9-0) and No. 2
Alabama Huntsville last weekend. The Chargers are now 8-1
in GSC play after taking 2 of 3
from West Georgia this week-
end.
Sophomore
Leigh
Beatenbough (1-3) got the call to
start in the circle for the Lady
Flames and was effective for the
first four innings before running
into trouble in the fifth and sixth
frames. She finished throwing 5
1/3 innings allowing all seven
runs on eight hits while walking
three and striking out three. Bri
Eichbaum came on to record the
final two outs in the sixth.
Morgan Kazerooni led the way
for the Lady Statesmen at the
dish. She hit a solo homer to
start the scoring in the second
inning. Kazerooni added an RBI
walk in the fifth and capped the
scoring with a single to left in
the sixth inning.
Shortstop Amanda Lynn tallied two more hits and led the
Lady Flames all weekend finishing 6 for 12 in the series. Lynn
is now hitting .441 on the year
with nine stolen bases.
Senior Lexie Dean got the
Lady Flames on the board in the
third inning as she roped a runscoring single down the right
field line to score Rachel
Polacek. Polacek would single
home Nia Ceasar in the fourth
inning to briefly give Lee a 2-1
advantage.
Katie Justice got the victory
(6-1) tossing a complete game
for the Lady Statesmen. Justice
allowed two runs on seven hits
and struck out three.

Martin improves qualifying time
From LEE SPORTS INFORMATION
FAIRFAX, Va. — The Lee
University men’s and women’s
track and field teams sent a
handful of participants to the
George Mason Last Chance Meet
in an attempt at attaining or
improving upon their qualifier
status for the NCAA Division II
Indoor National Championships.
Sunday was the final day that
results would be accepted prior
to Tuesday’s championships
selections.
Adrian Martin set a new Lee
record in the 60-meter dash. Her
time of 7.66 seconds placed her
fifth and improved her provisional quaification time.
Martin also improved her qualifying standing in the 200 meter
dash. The junior finished the
race in second at 25.05, which
converted to 24.67 seconds due
to track size, is the 28th-fastest
mark in DII.
Audrey Smith placed fourth in

ADAM SCOTT falls to his knees after missing a birdie putt on the 17th hole during the fourth round

the mile run with a converted
time of 5:12.20. That time was a
personal record. Smith also finished 10th (2:27.36) in the 800meter run.
Josiah Brooks took part in the
triple jump and the 200-meter
dash. In the triple jump, he
recorded a distance of 14.19
meters to finish ninth. Brooks
was fifth in the 200 meter with a
mark of 22.16. Justin Brooks
stopped the clock at 22.55 to
place ninth in the 200 meter.
PALM BEACH GARDENS,
Fla. (AP) — Adam Scott tapped
in a 30-inch par putt to win the
Honda Classic on Sunday, and
the smile was more relief than
joy over ending the longest
drought of his career.
A small measure of satisfaction might come from the
silence he hopes will follow.
Yes, he still can win with a
short putter.
In his third tournament since
a new rule that outlaws the
anchored stroke Scott used for
a long putter the last five years,
he made enough putts at PGA
National for an even-par 70 to
hold off Sergio Garcia and win
for the first time since Colonial
in May 2014.
"Probably good for everybody
who likes talking about it,
absolutely," Scott said. "And
therefore, good for me. Good for
me because maybe we don't
have to go over it too much anymore. Again, it just reassures
me I'm on the right track with
the things I'm doing on the
greens, and I'm just going to try
and get better every week. And I
think it's in a great spot at the
moment.
"If I can get better and better,
then I like what's to come."
Scott opened with a 10-foot
birdie putt that set the tone,
and he seized control early on
the back nine when Garcia
missed a 3-foot par putt on the
11th hole, and Scott followed
with a 9-iron out of a bunker to
2 feet for birdie and a two-shot
lead.
Garcia made birdie on the
final hole for a 71, forcing Scott
to convert his short par putt.
"He played really, really
solid," Garcia said. "I played
with him the last two days, and
he looked awesome. I know I
can play better. That's the good
thing. Without feeling like I was
swinging that great, I still managed to have a chance, so I'm
happy with that."
It was the first time Scott won
with a short putter since the
2010 Singapore Open. He
switched to a long putter that
he anchored to his chest at the
Match Play Championship and
when he won the Masters in
2013, he was the fourth player
in six majors to use an
anchored putting stroke.
It was outlawed at the start of
this year, and Scott had grown
weary of talking about it.
Overlooked was that he had
won 18 times worldwide with a
short putter, including The
Players Championship and the
Tour Championship. He even
led the tour in the "strokes
gained" category over Tiger
Woods, Brad Faxon and Steve
Stricker in 2004, before the
tour began publishing that
data.
All the evidence he needed
was the trophy he held on
Sunday.
"I've kind of said it the whole
time. I don't think it's going to
be that big a deal for me," Scott
said. "It's some hard work, and
I'm not afraid of that. I'm glad
it's going in the right direction,
and I've putted pretty solid the
last couple weeks, and I want to
make sure that keeps going."
The final round was a duel
between Scott and Garcia,
though Justin Thomas and
Blayne Barber both got within
two shots at one point on the
back nine. Barber didn't make a
birdie over the final seven holes
and shot 70. Thomas took double bogey from the back bunker
on the par-3 17th and closed
with a 69. They tied for third,
four shots behind.
Scott had one last hurdle to
clear.
Garcia made his first birdie of
the round with a 6-foot putt on
the 14th hole to close to within
one shot. They headed to the
tee on the par-3 15th over
water, where a day earlier Scott
hit two balls into the water and
made a quadruple-bogey 7,
going from a three-shot lead to
a one-shot deficit.
It helped that the tee was
moved forward to make it only
151 yards (instead of 179
yards), though the front pin was

Flames record 2 tennis victories
From LEE SPORTS INFORMATION
The Lee University tennis
teams recorded a couple 7-2
wins over Emmanuel College in
non-conference
matches
Saturday afternoon at the DeVos
Tennis Center. The Lady Flames
return to action in a Gulf South
Conference match against West
Georgia at 3 p.m. EST. The
Flames’ next match is on
Wednesday when they join the
women on a trip to Rome, Ga., to
face Shorter University.
Joanna Grzegrzolka and
Morgan Friedlander put the
Lady Flames (6-3) up early with
an 8-1 win over Kaylee Kirby
and Abi Muesse at No. 3 doubles. Maclain Yowarsky teamed
with Laura Beth Hardesty to
down Claudia Morris and Chloe
O’Connor, 8-5, to give Lee a 2-0
lead. Fantine Botella and
Pearllan Cipriano broke up Lee’s
shutout attempt with an 8-4
mark over Francesca Tondi and
Marta Garcia Nieto.
Grzegrzolka made quick work
of O’Connor, 6-1 and 6-1, at No.
3 singles. Tondi pulled the team
to within one of the needed fifth
point with a three-set win over
Botella. Tondi dropped the
opening set 6-4, then won the
final two sets 6-4 and 6-1.
Cipriano kept the Emmanuel
(3-9) hopes alive with a three-set
win over Garcia Nieto. Cipriano
won the first and third sets, 6-3
and 6-1, while Garcia Nieto won
the second set, 6-2.
Yowarsky defeated Kirby 6-2,
6-1 to hand the Lady Flames the
team win. Krista Good beat
Muesse 6-1 in the first set and
held to earn the straight-set win
with a 7-5 margin in the second
set. Friedlander dropped just
one game to Morris at No. 6 singles to supply the final score.
The Flames (6-3) jumped out
to a 2-0 lead with wins at No. 1
and No. 2 doubles. Eirik Groner
and Jake Okines beat Braden
Anglin and David Forehand, 83. Rhys Milne and Boyd
Blackburn doubled up Lukas
Konigs and Louis Malejka, 8-4.
Emmanuel (1-11) avoided the
sweep when Enrique Alcacer
and Lucas Velluzo edged Karl
Hulten and Charles Jabaley, 98.
Groner blanked Anglin at No.
1 singles to lengthen the Lee
lead. Milne defeated Alcacer 6-4,
6-2 to put the Flames within one
of clinching the team win.
Velluzo collected his second
win of the day, holding off
Okines for the 7-6, 6-4 win at
No. 2 singles.
Blackburn’s 6-4, 6-2 marks
against Malejka at the No. 4 spot
gave Lee the victory and started
a string of three-straight singles
wins. Hulten took down Konigs
6-2 and 6-3. Jabaley needed a
third-set super tie-breaker to
win at No. 6 singles. Jabaley
won the opening set 6-4 before
losing the second set 6-1. He
claimed the match by a 10-4
margin in the super set tiebreaker.

Aybar, Swisher among veterans on young Braves team
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Erick
Aybar and Nick Swisher are well
into their 30s and, after trades,
find themselves with the rebuilding Atlanta Braves.
As they prepare for another
season, both switch-hitters are
in the final years of their contracts and neither knows how
long he will be around.
Aybar, a 32-year-old shortstop, came to the Braves along
with two pitching prospects in a
five-player deal that sent young
shortstop Andrelton Simmons to
the Los Angeles Angels, the only
organization he had ever known.
"That's a long time with one
team, but that's baseball.
Anything can happen," Aybar
said Sunday. "I said thank you
for all the years in Anaheim, but
I'm on a new team so I'm going to
come here and work every day,
just like I did. If somebody takes
you (in a trade), it's for a good
reason."
The reason is to be Atlanta's
starting shortstop, at least for a
while. That's all Aybar needed to
know when Braves general manager John Coppolella called him
in November to tell him about
the trade.
"I said thank you, packed
everything and went back to the
Dominican," he said. "The first
couple days here felt a little different but now I feel like I've
been here for a while."
It's a little more complicated
for Swisher, who was traded to
the Braves late last summer,
when they were 10 games under
.500 and on their way to 95 losses.
"I was here for a month, but it
was a tough month," said the 35year-old outfielder-first baseman. "More than anything, I
think guys are trying to put that
season behind us."
With Freddie Freeman established as the Braves' best player
at first base and a crowded outfield, Swisher goes into the season as a pinch hitter.
"Right now I'd like to see him
at first base," manager Fred
Gonzalez said. "I think he can
play left field with no problem,
but I'd like to see him get some
ground balls at first base, see
him move around the bag a little
more."
Swisher spent most of last
year recovering from surgery
performed on both knees in
August of 2014. He played in 30
games for the Cleveland Indians
and went on the disabled list in
June. By the time he played
again, he had been traded to
Atlanta.
"It's been fun being here but
it's been tough, too, because you
want to win," he said. "I've been
doing this for a while and I want
to win right now. If you want to
win, you've got to have some
guys who have been there and
done that. It's hard getting a
group of guys that have never
been there to really understand
what that's like."
Swisher has 185 postseason
at-bats, 19 of them in the 2009
World Series with the New York
Yankees. He isn't likely to get
more with the Braves, and he
isn't even certain to start the
season in Atlanta.
"Anybody can get traded for
prospects," Swisher said. "We
just saw our best pitcher last
year (Shelby Miller) get traded
for prospects. I think that's
baseball in general now, not just
this team. It's not trading big
leaguer for big leaguer, it's more,
'Give me your prospects.' That's
where the game's changed a little
bit."

Johnson pulls alongside the Intimidator with 76th career win
HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Jimmie
Johnson reached another milestone in his brilliant NASCAR
career.
This one was really special.
Win No. 76.
Right up there with the
Intimidator.
Johnson’s victory at Atlanta
Motor Speedway on Sunday
pushed him into a tie for seventh
place on the career list with the
late Dale Earnhardt, who was
killed in a last-lap crash at the
2001 Daytona 500 just a few
months before Johnson joined
the Cup series.
“I didn’t have a chance to race
against him,” Johnson said.
“There’s been a big void in my
mind ... so to tie him, for me personally, it gives me a little bit of
attachment to the great Dale
Earnhardt.”
After a chaotic finish, the significance of the triumph didn’t
occur to Johnson at first. Then it
hit him, so he took another spin
in front of the grandstand, sticking his hand out of the car to
hold up three fingers.
No. 3 was Earnhardt’s number, of course.
And, in an appropriate twist,
Johnson
teammate
Dale
Earnhardt Jr. crossed the line
next, edging out Kyle Busch for
the runner-up spot by mere
inches.
“I think dad would’ve liked
Jimmie as a person,” Junior
said, “but he certainly wouldn’t
have enjoyed competing against
him.”
Next on Johnson’s bucket list:
another series championship. By
winning the second race of the
season, he essentially wrapped
up his spot in the season-ending
Chase, where he’ll be attempting
to join Earnhardt and Richard
Petty as the only drivers to capture seven Cup titles.
“The six that I have, I know
how special and meaningful they
are,” Johnson said. “If I have a
chance to win a seventh and tie
Petty and Earnhardt, that would
be just monumental.”
Polished
and
well-liked
throughout the garage, Johnson
would appear to have little in
common with the Intimidator, a
rough-and-tumble driver who
didn’t mind making others mad
and doing whatever it took to win
the race — even if it meant
knocking someone out of the
way.
“He didn’t get that Intimidator
title by being nice to everybody,”
quipped Rick Hendrick, the
owner of Johnson’s No. 48 car.
But Earnhardt Jr. thinks his
father, if he had lived, would
have become fast friends with
Johnson.
Certainly, he would’ve respected Johnson’s skills behind the
wheel, which were on full display
Sunday as he struggled to maintain control of his car on fading
tires, having made his final
green-flag pit stop ahead of
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Desi
Rodriguez had career-highs of 27
points and 12 rebounds and
Seton Hall all but clinched its first
NCAA Tournament berth in a
decade with a stunning 90-81 victory over No. 5 Xavier on Sunday.
Isaiah Whitehead had 22
points, Angel Delgado added 17
and the Pirates (21-7, 11-5 Big
East) used a suffocating defense
in knocking off Xavier (25-4, 134), just four days after it beat No.
1 Villanova.
The Pirates, who have not been
in the NCAA Tournament since
2006, had a season-high point
total and shot 50 percent from the
field in winning their fourth
straight and eighth of nine.
Seton Hall never trailed after
scoring the first nine points and it
beat Xavier in every aspect.
James Farr and Trevon Bluiett
had 17 points apiece for Xavier,
which was coming off a 90-83 win
over Villanova.
No. 6 MICHIGAN ST. 88,
PENN ST. 57
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) —
Denzel Valentine had 19 points,
eight rebounds and six assists for
Michigan State.
The Spartans (24-5, 11-5 Big
Ten) have won four straight and
eight of nine.
The Nittany Lions (15-14, 6-10)
had won three straight and four of
five, including victories over thenNo. 4 Iowa and then-No. 22
Indiana.
Penn State coach Patrick
Chambers was ejected with 4:53
left in the first half when he was
called for two technical fouls within the same rant.
The Spartans connected on 52
percent of their shots in the first
half after combining for a 3-of-15
shooting start and led 52-27 at
halftime.
Penn State’s Shep Garner had
22 points.
OHIO ST. 68,
No. 8 IOWA 64
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Marc
Loving scored 25 points, including both ends of a 1-and-1 with
less than 2 seconds to go, as Ohio
State rallied from a late deficit.
Keita Bates-Diop added 19
points while Kam Williams added
11 for the Buckeyes, who ended
the game on a 12-2 run.
After Bates-Diop preserved a
two-point lead for Ohio State (1911, 11-6 Big Ten) by blocking
Mike Gesell’s layup with under 5
seconds to go, Loving made the
free throws to ice the game.
Williams gave the Buckeyes a
63-62 lead with a jumper with
2:04 left after Iowa led for most of
the second half. He added a 3pointer a little over a minute later
to stretch Ohio State’s lead to
four.
Gesell and Jarrod Uthoff led
Iowa (20-8, 11-5) with 16 points
apiece while Peter Jok had 12.
No. 13 OREGON 86,
WASHINGTON 73
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Elgin
Cook matched his career-high
with 26 points to lead Oregon to a
victory over Washington.
Dillon Brooks added 19 points
for the Ducks (23-6, 12-4 Pac12), who won their 25th consecutive home game, extending the
school record they set with
Wednesday’s
win
over
Washington State. Casey Benson
and Jordan Bell each had 12
points.
Oregon finished its fifth
unbeaten home season in history
at 18-0, and its first since 200102 when it won its only Pac-12
regular-season title.
Andrew Andrews scored 16 of
his 21 points in the second half to
lead the Huskies (16-13, 8-9),
and Dejounte Murray had 20.
PITTSBURGH 76,
No. 15 DUKE 62
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jamel
Artis scored 17 points as
Pittsburgh gave its NCAA
Tournament hopes a needed jolt.
Senior point guard James
Robinson added 14 points, seven
assists and three rebounds in his
final home game at the Petersen
Events Center as the Panthers
(20-8, 9-7 Atlantic Coast
Conference) overwhelmed the
Blue Devils (22-8, 10-6). Sheldon
Jeter had 11 points for Pitt while
Michael Young and Ryan Luther
had 10 points each.
The Panthers held Duke to 37
percent shooting (18 of 48) and
outscored the Blue Devils 24-6 in
the paint.
Grayson Allen had 22 points
for Duke and stayed out of trouble after being admonished by the
ACC for his role in tripping a
Florida State player in a Blue
Devils victory last Thursday.
The Panthers came in 0-6
against ranked opponents this
season, five of them double-digit
blowouts that were never in
doubt in the second half.
No. 24 SMU 74,
TULANE 53
DALLAS (AP) — Ben Moore
scored 16 points and Sterling
Brown added 15 for SMU, which
moved back into a first-place tie
in the American Athletic
Conference with Temple.
No. 5 Xavier blasted by Seton Hall
everyone else in a strategic bid to
snatch the lead away from Kevin
Harvick.
“Knowing dad and knowing
Jimmie’s
character,
they
would’ve gotten along tremendously and dad would’ve thought
the world of him,” Earnhardt Jr.
said. “How can you not like
Jimmie? He’s just a good guy
who never stepped over the line
with anything he’s ever said or
anything he’s ever done.”
All he does is win, with staggering consistency.
The 40-year-old has now
earned a victory in every full-time
Cup season, extending the streak
to 15 years in a row. As fit as any
driver in the series, he could likely remain at the top of the game
for another decade or more.
While Petty’s record of 200 career
victories is unlikely to ever be
duplicated — he competed largely in a different era with far more
races each year — Johnson certainly has the potential to reach
the second spot on the list.
David Pearson won 105 times.
Johnson has averaged a bit more
than five victories a year, a pace
that would push him past the
Silver Fox in another six seasons.
Shorter term, Johnson can set
his sights on Cale Yarborough
(83 victories), Bobby Allison and
Darrell Waltrip (84 apiece), and
longtime teammate Jeff Gordon,
who retired after last season with
93 wins.
“You’ve got to say that he’s one
of the best that’s ever been in the
sport,” Hendrick said of
Johnson. “It’s going to be interesting to see how many races and
championships Jimmie and
Chad (Knaus, his crew chief) can
win.”
It was Knaus who made the
call that essentially gave
Johnson a shot at his latest victory. Knowing it would be tough
to get around Harvick, who led
more laps than anyone, the crew
chief brought in the No. 48 for its
last scheduled pit stop nine laps
before Harvick, gambling that
Johnson could make his tires
last longer on the bruising
Atlanta track.
The move worked, giving
Johnson a big lead, though a late
yellow flag forced overtime.
Everyone came back into the pits
for new tires, Johnson returned
to the track still out front, and a
four-car crash on the backstretch shortly after the restart
sealed the win.
Johnson gave much of the
credit to his crew chief.
Knaus gave it right back.
“Jimmie is pretty amazing,
isn’t he?” the crew chief said,
breaking into a big smile. “Let’s
be honest, he’s just a heck of a
race-car driver.”
Even the Intimidator would
agree with that.
The Braves will open their exhibition schedule Tuesday here
against the Baltimore Orioles.

PERFECT WEATHER: Atlanta
Motor Speedway didn’t have to
pay out for its perfect-weather
ticket guarantee.
The weather, indeed, was perfect.
Even though the Atlanta race
was held on its earliest date ever
— and has perennially been
plagued by inclement conditions
— the temperature when the
green flag waved was an unseasonably warm 64 degrees, with a
light breeze and clear blue skies.
The crowd was estimated at
55,000, an increase over the
previous year but still a far cry
from the track’s glory days.

answered
Constant's buzzer beater with a
3 as time ran out in the first half
to put Cleveland down by 10, 3020, in a physical first half from
both sides.
“The region is always called a
little bit tougher. It was different
officials than we saw in the district and different than what we
saw in our regular season play.
We got banged up a little bit
inside and missed a few shots
early. I've said all year long I feel
we play a little harder when the
ball goes in and the ball just was
not going in at an easy rate for
us. It's a tough way to end our
season,” said McCowan.
The Cavaliers opened the gap
to 15 points with just over four
minutes to play in the third
quarter and closed out the period
with a 49-39 lead.
“We spent a ton of energy getting it back to a 10-point lead,”
said McCowan.
Constant and Curry gave the
Blue Raiders a spark to open the
fourth cutting the Cavaliers' lead
to 49-43, but a six-point
Cookeville run, including another wide open layup, opened the
divide back to 12 as the
Cleveland offense continued to
struggle.
“That just kind of broke our
backs, no question,” McCowan
said of the easy 2-pointer.
Cookeville led by 19 with just
over a minute to play. Ware
closed out for the Blue Raiders
with Cleveland's final five points
to make it a 68-54 final.
“We tried to regather ourselves
going into the fourth quarter. We
were exactly where were at when
we came in at halftime. I thought
we did some good things to cut it
to six, but that was the closest
that we got,” McCowan said. “We
just couldn't seem to make the
stop or the play we needed to get
us over the hump, get some
momentum or change our body
language. We just couldn't make
that play. We played uphill all
night long.”
“You have to give them
(Cookeville) credit. They kept
battling. They knew we were
going to try and pressure them.
Their guards did a pretty good
job of handling our pressure. I
felt like we started turning
defense into offense a little too
late.
McCowan spoke with admiration of his four seniors and the
job they have done during their
time with the Blue Raiders.
“It's going to be tough to
replace a three-time all-district
player like Cantrel Ware. It's
going to be tough to replace T.J.
Constant and James McCree
that has been hurt all season
long and played his guts out.
Turner (Lay) has come in here
and made us better and is a
great kid. We lose four really
great kids,” he said. “We will be
older, but we lose some very
valuable pieces that kept us in
the game tonight.”

Scott had a 7-iron that he hit
"as hard as I could," and it was
a relief to see it find the green.
He took a two-shot lead to the
final hole when Garcia made
bogey, and only needed a simple
par for the victory.
Scott finished at 9-under 271
and moved to No. 9 in the world,
his highest ranking in 10
months.
The timing was perfect.
This was only his 10th event
since a permanent switch to the
short putter dating to the
Presidents Cup, and he has finished out of the top 10 only
twice since then. And he finally
had another victory.
"I want to feel somewhat relevant out here when it comes to
being one of the best players in

down to my results. You can talk

going to have to have the results

As introduced, House Bill 1537 acts
on three main recommendations from
the education task force, including:
—Eliminating two unnecessary high
school tests, reducing the overall number of tests given to students;
—Allowing students to retake the
ACT or SAT free of charge, giving them
an opportunity to increase their scores
and their options for postsecondary
education; and
—Renewing Tennessee’s commitment to test transparency by annually
releasing statewide assessment questions and answers. This change in
assessment procedure will provide
parents, teachers and students more
information about the tests students
take and more information about ways
Brooks
Howell
to best support students in their goals.
Lawmakers move forward
with legislation to help
those affected by ASD
House Republican lawmakers voted
unanimously to move forward with legislation designed to help those affected
by Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As introduced, House Bill 1206 will
create the Tennessee Council on
Autism Spectrum Disorder — a dedicated committee that will focus solely
on aiding those with special needs and
their families.
Along with establishing a long-term
plan for a system of care for individuals with ASD, the Council will also
make recommendations and provide
leadership in program development
regarding matters concerning all levels
of ASD services in health care, education, and other adult and adolescent
need areas.
Specifically, the Council will be
charged with seven tasks, including:
—Assessing the current and future
impact of Autism Spectrum Disorder
on the residents of Tennessee;
—Assessing the availability of programs and services currently provided
for early screening diagnosis and treatment of ASD;
—Seeking additional input and recommendations from stakeholders that
include providers, clinicians, institutions of higher education, and those
concerned with the health and quality
of life for individuals with Autism
Spectrum Disorder;
—Developing a comprehensive
statewide plan for an integrated system
of training, treatment and services for
individuals of all ages with ASD;
—Ensuring interagency collaboration
as the comprehensive statewide system
of care for Autism Spectrum Disorder
is developed and implemented;
—Coordinating available resources
related to developing and implementing
a system of care for autism spectrum
disorder; and
—Coordinating state budget requests
related to systems of care for individuals with autism spectrum disorders
based on the studies and recommendations of the Council.
The Council itself would serve under
the Tennessee Department of
Intellectual & Developmental
Disabilities and would be made up of
the commissioner of Health, the commissioner of Intellectual &
Developmental Disabilities, the commissioner of Education, the commis-
sioner of Human Services, the commissioner of Commerce & Insurance,
the deputy commissioner of TennCare,
the commissioner of Mental Health &
Substance Abuse, and six adult individuals who are either family members
or primary caregivers of individuals
with ASD.
The legislation is set to next be
heard in the House Finance, Ways &
Means Subcommittee.
House committee voices support
for resolutionon federal
government halting its overreach
House Joint Resolution 528 moved
forward in the committee process after
receiving unanimous support from
state lawmakers. The resolution now
proceeds to the House Calendar &
Rules Committee, the last stop it must
make before reaching the full House
floor for a final vote.
As introduced, the legislation affirms
Tennessee’s authority over matters of
the state, in accordance with the Tenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. Additionally, it calls for
the federal government to halt its practice of overreaching into the affairs of
state government.
Supporters cite the resolution is a
direct result of concerns shared by
constituents regarding the federal government’s heavy-handed involvement
in the state of Tennessee.
Once HJR 0528 is signed, a certified
copy of the resolution will be distributed to the president of the United
States, the president of the United
States Senate, the Speaker and the
Clerk of the United States House of
Representatives, and to each member
of Tennessee’s Congressional delegation.
Legislation to help protect
consumers from deceptive
advertising practices passes
Legislation spearheaded by House
Republicans to help protect consumers
from deceptive advertising practices
passed on the full floor last week with
bipartisan support from state lawmakers.
As passed, the “Government
Impostor and Deceptive
Advertisements Act” prohibits mail
advertisements that look like a summons or a judicial process notification. It also prohibits advertising that
looks like a government document,
whether it is through the use of language, seals and logos, or if it implies
an unauthorized endorsement by a
government entity. The bill prescribes
a fine of up to $100 per advertisement
for violation of the proposed law.
The purpose of the legislation is to
help protect consumers from possible
identity and monetary theft.
In 2010, the Federal Trade
Commission received 4,175 complaints
of identity theft from Tennesseans, and
that number has steadily increased
each year. Nationally, financial losses
due to personal identity theft in 2012
totaled $24.7 billion, over $10 billion
more than the losses attributed to all
other property crimes.

State Library and Archives
deserves legislators’ look
A
rguments both “for” and
“against” the $100 million
construction of a new
Archives are valid.
Those who support the new facility say it’s vital to get the state’s historical treasures into a climate-controlled building as soon as possible
for their preservation.
Those who don’t support it say it’s
too expensive and it’s not a high-priority item.
Located across the street from
the Tennessee State Capitol, the
current library and archives building
is more than 60 years old, having
been constructed in 1952. The facility offers only 108,000 square feet,
and it is reported to be in a continuing state of deterioration.
That’s the assessment of Charles
“Chuck” Sherrill, state librarian and
archivist, whose name is familiar to
most Cleveland and Bradley County
residents. He served as director of
the Cleveland Bradley Public Library
for nine years before relocating his
career to Nashville in 1993.
Sherrill’s concerns about the
existing state library don’t stop with
the structure’s slow decay. Of paramount concern also is limited parking, lack of handicapped accessibility except through a back entrance, a
growing collection of Tennessee historical documents that is already
overwhelming the present building,
and a burdensome series of quick
“fix-its” that staff face daily such as
the use of dehumidifiers and “buckets placed under the leaks.”
Sherrill confirms — to date — no
major historical documents have
been destroyed, or badly damaged,
by the worsening conditions.
However, he feels it’s just a matter of
time unless state lawmakers free up
the remaining $80 million for the
new building’s construction.
Some $20 million of the total cost
has already been spent on property,
architectural design and project
management.
As proposed, the new library and
archives building would be located
on 3.5 acres at the northeast corner
of the Bicentennial Capitol Mall. It
will be surrounded by Fifth Avenue,
Sixth Avenue and Jefferson Street.
The facility would offer 165,000
square feet of space, excluding a
mechanical room, and would have
113,000 square feet of program
space. The facility would be three
levels.
Those who don’t support a new
Archives — at least, at this time —
believe it’s mostly about the money.
In times such as these, every dollar
truly counts and overall need is
unparalleled. Ironically, construction
funds for the state archives actually
had been included in last year’s
state budget, but were removed during the budget discussion process.
This year, Sherrill — along with
Blake Fonteney, who is heading up
the state library’s Tri-State
Chronicles Project — is refueling the
campaign in hopes of convincing
state legislators to use funds from
over-collected revenue (mostly
sales tax which last year compiled
an overage of some $400 million) to
pay the remaining $80 million.
The caveat is that other state entities want a slice of the over-collected
pot, as well. A few of the notables
likely include education and teachers’ salaries, as well as infrastructure
such as roads and bridges, among
others.
In fairness to both sides — those
who support an altogether new
library and archives, and those who
don’t — we are aware of an alternative proposal, one suggested by
state Rep. Kevin Brooks (RCleveland) who represents the 24th
Legislative District and who serves
as assistant majority leader in the
House of Representatives.
Brooks’ plan, as outlined in a
front-page news story published in
the Jan. 31 edition of the Cleveland
Daily Banner, suggests renovating
the War Memorial Building — which
is the current home of the state
Legislature — once state lawmakers
move to the Cordell Hull Building
after 2017.
Brooks believes use of the historic
old structure — once renovated —
would be a perfect home for the
Archives.
Sherrill disagrees.
“Our analysis shows the War
Memorial Building would not only be
smaller than the current Library and
Archives footprint, but the environment inside would still put our precious items in jeopardy,” he told our
newspaper. “We would be trading
one set of aging building issues for
another. The best way to truly protect Tennessee’s irreplaceable
treasures is with the new planned
facility on Bicentennial Mall.”
So that’s the dilemma ... or, in this
case, the standoff.
It’s an issue now because state
Legislature budget hearings are
underway. They started in the
House last week and we understand
the Senate will begin its work
Tuesday.
Here’s our suggestion. Before
final decisions are made on the allocation of over-collected funds, pivotal state lawmakers — such as
committee chairs, both House and
Senate — need to tour the current
Archives building (if they haven’t
already) and see for themselves the
types of deterioration that are threatening state historical documents.
Getting an upclose view — along
with Sherrill and other archives staff
at their side — would go a long way
in helping to weigh need versus want.
In matters of state government
that involve significant spending of
taxpayer dollars, seeing is sometimes believing. And sometimes it is
not.
Either way, the backers of a new
Archives deserve to be heard.
And in this case, their perceived
need should be seen before final
decisions are made on the use of
that over-collected revenue.

Dear Annie: I read the letter
from “Please Stop,” who is on a
fixed income, but feels guilty
when she receives constant
requests from charities for donations.
Last year, between Jan. 1 and
Dec. 31, I wrote down every
request we received from a charity. Using the smallest amount
that I would have sent, the total
for my donations would have
come to $7,151. As my wife and
cannot afford this amount, we no
longer feel guilty about not sending money to anyone. — C.
Dear C.: We wish more people
could leave the guilt out of these
decisions. One should only
donate to those charities you
support, in the amount your
budget can handle.
Dear Annie: Like “Bah,
Humbug,” my family also includes
people who are better off than others. At Christmas, we give to charity. We try to find a worthy cause
that the relative would appreciate.
My father likes to build things, so
I might choose a bag of nails for
Habitat for Humanity. For my
brother, I once chose a portion of a
donkey from the Heifer Project. He
had great fun with that when people would ask him what he got.
You could do this any time during the year and then send a card
at Christmas telling the person of
your gift in their honor. It leaves
everyone with a good feeling, and
they know they have helped others. — No Stress
Dear No Stress: This type of gift
is a wonderful idea and can be tailored to anyone’s specific interests. As always, please check out
the charity with one of the watchdog organizations such as charitynavigator.org, charitywatch.org or
give.org.

Dr. Seuss
From Page 1
Volunteers will be on hand to
give children free copies of the
new book — or older ones that
are new to them.
Alternate titles are available
for children who already have the
featured book, and board books
are available for the littlest readers.
The book giveaway has been
made possible in part by the
Kiwanis Club of Cleveland, which
Wood said donated money to help
purchase the books. She added
the event has continually enjoyed
the financial support of the club
over the years, and members
have also volunteered their time.
In addition to the books, each
child will receive a goodie bag
and get to take part in a variety of
special activities.
As the event has grown over
the years, organizers have been
adding more and more activities
related to the books. Children
can make hats like in “The Cat in
the Hat,” do a craft with green
eggs like in “Green Eggs and
Ham” and more.
Additional activities like face
painting, dancing, writing, fishing for faux fish and more will
ensure there is something for
every interest.
“We have a lot of people who
come back with their children
year after year,” Wood said.
“There’s always something new.”
Popular Dr. Seuss characters
The Cat in the Hat, the Grinch
and Thing 1 and Thing 2 will also
be there participating in the
event and posing for photos with
kids of all ages.
Throughout the free event,
“We’ve had as many
as 800 children attend.
It has grown leaps and
bounds over the years.
We’re expecting a big
crowd this year.”
— Suzanne Wood
local volunteers will be reading
Dr. Seuss books aloud in both
English and Spanish.
The event also traditionally
features a chance for attendees
to help their community. Keeping
with this year’s pet theme, organizers are collecting items which
will be donated to the SPCA of
Bradley County.
All attendees are asked to consider taking with them leashes,
collars, food, treats, toys or other
items which could be used to
help dogs or cats at the local
SPCA animal shelter.
Representatives of the shelter
will also be on hand to talk to
families about pet adoption, and
Wood said they may even bring
some furry friends with them in
hopes of finding them homes.
“Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss” is
once again being organized by
the students in Woods’ Language
and Literacy course, and they are
learning exactly what it takes to
plan a fun event for children.
“Many of them are studying to
become teachers, so this is a
wonderful training ground for
them,” Wood said.
“They are also learning how to
advocate for the very important
cause of early childhood literacy.”
Though the students are partnering with the college library’s
staff for the event, Wood emphasized this is a major undertaking
which draws in volunteers from
all corners of the campus and the
community.
With as many as 800 children
and their parents expected to
drop by throughout the day,
Wood estimates some 40 or 50
extra volunteers are needed.
Though the service opportunity is being made available to
Cleveland State students, she
said anyone 18 or older is welcome to volunteer. In past years,
the event has seen numerous
volunteers from the community
— even professional educators
from local elementary schools.
“We’re glad to have anyone
who would like to help promote
literacy through this fun event —
even if someone can only serve
part of the time,” Wood said.
While the event had to be canceled last year due to the weather
and other circumstances, Wood
said organizers are eagerly moving forward with this year’s event
and anticipating a crowd.
Wood stressed those interested
in the event should remember it
takes place Saturday, March 5,
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the
Cleveland State Community
College Library. She noted that
information included in a
newsletter sent to Cleveland
Utilities customers contained the
wrong date.
For more information or to volunteer, email [email protected] or call the college at
423-472-7141.

company — Karcher North
America — contacted the
Cleveland Daily Banner for information. An article about the theft
and Goins’ need for replacement
equipment touched the heart of
the company and its representative, Jon Padgett.
Karcher contacted Joyanna
Love at the Banner for information about Goins, and she was
able to hook the two parties up to
discuss the donation of a pressure washer. That piece of equipment was donated, along with the
money for shipping it to
Cleveland, and Goins received the
equipment earlier this month.
“I was surprised to hear from
them, especially being from
Colorado. They said they wanted
to give us a pressure washer to
help clean the headstones at the
cemetery,” Goins said. “It’s been
“This is a nice
pressure washer. It is a
Honda, and it is not
cheap, so I want to
thank them for donating
it to help at the
cemetery, and I want to
thank the Banner for
getting these folks in
touch with me.”
— Robert Goins
too cold to use it so far, but will
help when it gets warmer and, I
think, help get rid of some of the
moss and green on the headstones.”
Goins has family buried in the
veterans section, so he wants it to
look as good as possible. That is
part of the reason for donating
his time to clean that area, with
the help of his brother.
“There is a lot of history here,
and I want to save that for others
to see and for families who have
relatives buried there,” he said.
“It’s the least I can do.”
Joe Davis of the Bradley
County Veterans Affairs office
said he is pleased people like
Goins have a heart for remembering those who served their country. The pressure washer was
being stored at the office until a
suitable place for it is determined.
“This is a nice pressure washer. It is a Honda, and it is not
cheap, so I want to thank them
for donating it to help at the
cemetery, and I want to thank the
Banner for getting these folks in
touch with me,” Goins said.
Electronic cards to make WIC easier to use
WASHINGTON
(AP)
—
Pregnant women and parents
using the Women, Infants and
Children program will have an
easier time buying food at the
grocery store.
The Agriculture Department
is announcing Monday that it
will require states to transition
from paper vouchers to electronic cards over the next five
years. WIC will now use the
same type of Electronic
Benefits Transfer, or EBT,
cards used by food stamp
recipients.
Around half of the nation’s
infants benefit from WIC. The
program offers grants to states
to provide food vouchers to
low-income pregnant women,
women who have recently given
birth and infants and children
up to age 5 who are found to be
at nutritional risk. Only a
handful of nutritional foods are
allowed, such as whole grains,
low-fat dairy and fruits and
vegetables.
The change will allow those
using WIC to shop for items as
they need them instead of
requiring them to purchase all
items in one trip, as is the case
with the paper vouchers. USDA
says using the electronic cards,
which are similar to ATM or
credit cards, also reduces the
stigma associated with using
food benefits.
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack said the change will
“allow WIC participants to shop
conveniently and check out
confidently.”
The change to electronic
cards was first required in a
2010 child nutrition law.
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s
called Super Tuesday for a reason.
Voters in the four states to
hold 2016 presidential primaries and caucuses thus far have
handed out just a fraction of the
delegates it takes to win the
Democratic and Republican
nominations.
But when a dozen states vote
on March 1, nearly half the delegates needed to win the GOP
nod and more than one-third
required to take the mantle of
the Democratic Party are at
stake.
It’s a huge moment, and the
remaining major candidates
each have a “best-case scenario”
for a day that’s likely to provide
some decisive moments in the
2016 race for president.
Here’s a look at what they
might be:
Donald Trump
After winning the past three
Republican contests, the bestcase scenario for the Republican
front-runner on Super Tuesday
isn’t just to keep that streak
alive — it’s to run up the score
and finish off one or more of his
rivals.
Delegates will be awarded
proportionally
on
Super
Tuesday; there are no winnertake-all states. And so Trump is
looking for commanding victories, especially in Southern
states where Ted Cruz has long
claimed an advantage. Trump
wants to grab as many delegates
as possible and add to the growing sense of inevitability that he
will be his party’s nominee.
How confident is Trump that
he’ll be able to pull it off? He
plans to spend Tuesday campaigning in three states that
won’t even be voting March 1:
Ohio, Kentucky and Florida.
And while it may be too much
to hope for, Trump could whittle
the contest down to a two-man
race with Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio, should he dominate the
Texas senator across the South
— especially in Cruz’s home
state of Texas.
Marco Rubio
Rubio has campaigned since
Friday as if the Republican campaign has already settled into
that two-man contest. But for
that to actually happen, it will
likely require finishing ahead of
Trump in at least one state, and
ahead of Cruz in just about
every state but Texas.
And should he win more than
one state, it may pressure Cruz,
Ohio’s John Kasich and retired
neurosurgeon Ben Carson to
consider quitting the race.
Preference polls show Rubio
in a solid second or within reach
of second in almost all the
Super Tuesday states, with
Trump ahead in every state but
Cruz’s Texas — where the most
delegates are up for grabs on
Tuesday.
To flip the script, Rubio has
adopted an all-out assault on
Trump’s character and conservative bona fides, an approach
he debuted in the final preSuper Tuesday debate and built
on over the weekend.
Ted Cruz
Cruz built his entire campaign on the notion of sweeping
Super Tuesday, but Trump’s
momentum and appeal with
social conservatives and evangelicals threatens to smash his
Southern firewall.
The best case for Cruz on
Tuesday is a solid win in his
home state, perhaps with a victory in neighboring Oklahoma
or Arkansas, and a string of second-place finishes ahead of
Rubio.
The GOP establishment’s
moves to unite behind Rubio
have hurt Cruz’s ability to
appear viable on a national level,
despite his still-healthy war
chest. Getting the better of his
fellow freshman senator would
dent the Floridian’s ascendance
and keep it a three-candidate
contest for a few more weeks.
Texas’ 155 GOP delegates are
Super Tuesday’s biggest prize,
but their proportional allocation
means Cruz would have to win a
majority of votes cast statewide
and in all 36 congressional districts to secure the full load.
And if Cruz doesn’t win Texas,
his home state could become his
political Alamo — the site of his
presidential campaign’s last
stand.
John Kasich
Ohio Gov. John Kasich hopes
simply to survive Super
Tuesday. His best-case scenario
is to nab a handful of delegates
in states such as Massachusetts
and Virginia, enough to justify
staying in the race until his
home state votes on March 15.
Of the 11 states voting on
Tuesday, Kasich has recently
campaigned in only five:
Virginia,
Massachusetts,
Vermont,
Tennessee
and
Georgia. Make no mistake,
Kasich’s true focus is on trying
to win Michigan’s March 8 primary before going on to capture
Ohio’s 66 delegates a week later.
Kasich wants to post a homestate win, and hopes Rubio
loses his home state of Florida
on the same day.
“Ohio is what we think we will
win,” campaign spokesman Rob
Nichols said.
Hillary Clinton
For Clinton, the best case
Super Tuesday is a simple one:
turning her decisive win in
South Carolina on Saturday
into a sweep across the South
and beyond that will cement the
perception that she’s on an allbut-unstoppable march to her
party’s nomination.
Clinton’s huge margin among
African-American voters, who
turned out in a higher percentage in South Carolina than in
2008, was an encouraging sign
to her aides, who are eager to
expand their lead among the
delegates that will decide the
primary race.
The former secretary of state’s
roughly 2-to-1 win over Sanders
in South Carolina translated
into a 39-14 edge in delegates.
Should Clinton roll up such
margins in the swath of
Southern states that vote on
Tuesday, it may not matter if
she ekes out wins or close second-place finishes to Sanders
elsewhere. Those wins may be
enough to grow her delegate
lead to the point where Sanders
can’t catch up.
Bernie Sanders
After his drubbing in South
Carolina, Sanders hopes to shift
the momentum back in his favor
with strong showings in
Colorado,
Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Oklahoma and his
home state of Vermont.
But Clinton’s dominant performance on Saturday among
black voters means the best
case for the Vermont senator
may not just be to win in those
states. Instead, he needs to
avoid blowout losses in
Southern states such as
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Tennessee — and also in Texas,
which awards more than 200
delegates.
The calendar will get better
for Sanders in later March, as
states such as Nebraska,
Kansas and Maine take their
turns.
But if Clinton is able to roll up
a huge delegate lead on Super
Tuesday through overwhelming
support from black voters in the
South, Sanders may not be able
to overcome a growing sense
among Democrats that Clinton
is sure to win the nomination.
Iraq death toll from Islamic State
bombing of market is now at 73
BAGHDAD (AP) — In Iraq, the
death toll from devastating backto-back market bombings carried out by the Islamic State
group the previous day in eastern Baghdad climbed to 73 on
Monday, officials said.
Several of the critically wounded died overnight while 112 people remain in hospital, two police
officials said. Also, at least five
people were still missing after
the blast that ripped through the
crowded Mredi market in the
Shiite district of Sadr City, followed by a suicide bombing amid
the crowd that had quickly gathered at the site to help the victims.
Three medical officials confirmed the latest death toll,
which rose from the toll of 59
reported late Sunday. All officials
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not author-
ized to talk to the media.
Iraq’s Prime Minister, Haider
al-Abadi, called on security
forces to “exert further efforts to
prevent the terrorists from carrying out their crimes against
innocent civilians.”
Al-Abadi, in a statement
released late Sunday, said the
attacks “will not stop us ... but
they will increase the determination” of the army, security forces
and paramilitary troops to dislodge the militants from areas
under their control.
The special U.N. envoy to Iraq,
Jan Kubis, called the Sadr City
bombings a “particularly vicious
and cowardly terrorist attack”
aimed against “peaceful civilians
who were going about their daily
business.”
“It is clearly aimed at inflaming sectarian strife,” he said
Monday.
The Islamic State group,
which controls key areas in
northern and western Iraq,
promptly claimed responsibility
for Sunday’s blasts. The militant
Sunni Muslim group regularly
targets government forces, civilians and especially Shiites, who
the IS regards as heretics.
The market bombings in Sadr
City were the deadliest attack in
a wave of explosions that targeted other commercial areas in
and outside Baghdad on Sunday
and brought the day’s overall
death toll to 92.
Seven other civilians were
killed in attacks elsewhere and
in Baghdad’s western suburb of
Abu Ghraib, security forces earlier Sunday repelled an attack by
IS militants that killed at least
12 members of the government
and paramilitary troops and
wounded 35 others.

higher learning. Senate Bill
1720 also provides that any child

but whose parent dies during the

“Law enforcement officers and
firefighters make a lot of personal sacrifices to serve the public,”

believe protecting the public is
more important. This bill is a

law enforcement. “Knowing their
children would be able to begin,
or continue, a post-secondary
education with the discount is
truly reassuring to these folks,”
the sheriff said.
“The Tennessee Fire Service
owes a debt of gratitude to Sen.
Gardenhire for sponsoring these
bills that hold such potential in
improving the lives of our first
responders and their families, as
well as the long-term positive
effect that these efforts will have
on the organizations that provide
emergency services to the public,” Harrison added.
Both bills now go to the Senate
Finance Committee for consideration of the financial impact
before moving to the floor for a
final vote.
Cardinal admits ‘scandalous’
response to abuse allegations
ROME (AP) — One of Pope
Francis’ top advisers acknowledged he had heard that an
Australian Catholic school
teacher who serially abused
students might be involved in
“pedophilia activity” in the
1970s, but said he had no idea
how rampant clergy abuse was
at the time, during an extraordinary public hearing of an
Australian investigative commission just a few blocks from
the Vatican.
Australian Cardinal George
Pell, who testified via videolink
from Rome to the Royal
Commission in Sydney from
Sunday night to early Monday
morning, also conceded that
the Catholic Church “has made
enormous mistakes” in allowing
thousands of children to be
raped and molested by priests.
Two dozen Australian abuse
survivors and their companions
traveled across the globe to witness Pell’s testimony in a Rome
hotel’s conference room, a significant show of accountability
in the church’s long-running
abuse saga.
And in a case of art imitating
life, the testimony played out
just hours before “Spotlight,”
about the Boston Globe’s investigation into decades of priestly
rape of children and systematic
cover-up by the Catholic
Church, won Best Picture at
the Academy Awards.
“I’m not here to defend the
indefensible,” Pell said as the
hearing began. “The church has
made enormous mistakes and
is working to remedy those.” He
said the church had “mucked
things up and let people down”
and for too long had dismissed
credible abuse allegations “in
absolutely scandalous circumstances.”
The lead counsel assisting
the commission, Gail Furness,
questioned Pell about current
Vatican efforts to address the
crisis, as well as Pell’s past in
Australia, where he is accused
of ignoring warnings when he
was an assistant priest about
Christian Brother Edward
Dowlan, a teacher at St.
Patrick’s College in the
Australian city of Ballarat. The
deeply Catholic city has been
devastated by disclosures
about the huge number of
abuse victims there, scores of
whom killed themselves.
Pell, now Pope Francis’ top
financial adviser, has repeatedly denied allegations that he
ignored warnings decades ago
that Dowlan was abusing students. Under questioning from
Furness, Pell said he had heard
“one or two fleeting references”
to “misbehavior” by Dowlan in
the 1970s “which I concluded
might have been pedophilia
activity.”
But Pell said he had not
known victims’ names, that
there were large numbers of
victims or that Dowlan’s offending was general knowledge at
the school.
Dowlan was sentenced to six
years in prison last year for
abusing 20 boys.
Pell also testified that he had
been aware of a Christian
Brother named Leo Fitzgerald
who swam naked with students
and said he had been told by
parishioners that Fitzgerald
also had a habit of kissing
boys. But Pell said he had not
believed the kissing to be sexual.
“It was certainly unusual,
but ... nobody said we’ve got to
do something about this,” Pell
said.
Pell’s acknowledgement that
he knew about such behavior is
the closest he has publicly
come to stating that he had
even tangential awareness of
the scandal playing out in
Ballarat, where at the time he
was in no position of church
authority. His concession came
as Furness presented evidence
that many people around Pell
knew about the abuse.
“The sexual offending by
Christian Brothers at St.
Alipius school and St. Pat’s
school was known by a significant number in the community
- would you agree with that?”
Furness asked Pell.
“I would agree that it was
known to all the people whom
you’ve mentioned, and they do
constitute a significant number,” Pell replied.
The commission is investigating how Pell dealt with abuse
allegations as a priest, educator
and adviser to former Ballarat
Bishop Ronald Mulkearns, as
well as how the Melbourne
archdiocese responded to allegations of abuse, including
when Pell served as a
Melbourne auxiliary bishop.
Pell was a consultant to
Mulkearns,
who
moved
Australia’s most notorious
pedophile
priest,
Gerald
Ridsdale, between parishes for
years. Pell denies he was
involved
in
transferring
Ridsdale.
Pell dubbed Mulkearns’ handling of Ridsdale a “catastrophe
for the church.” He said he was
a prime candidate for the
Vatican’s proposed tribunal for
negligent bishops, although
there is no indication the elderly Mulkearns would stand trial
by the time the tribunal is
operational.

But Pell also acknowledged
that he too had made mistakes
in often believing the priests
over victims who alleged abuse.
“I must say in those days, if a
priest denied such activity, I
was very strongly inclined to
accept the denial,” Pell said.
This is the third time that
Pell has testified before the
commission, but the current
round has generated intense
international attention because
it is taking place near the
Vatican.
The
commission
allowed Pell to testify from
Rome because he was too ill to
travel home.
Pell entered the hotel by a
side door and still hadn’t left
more than an hour after the
testimony ended at 2 a.m.
Some Australian media covering the hearing reported that
security agents pushed them
back as Pell’s Vatican car
arrived.
David Ridsdale, who was
abused by his uncle, Gerald
Ridsdale, said he was grateful
that the horrors of Ballarat
lence problems. And it all stems
from that abuse.”
In a statement Sunday, Pell
repeated his support for the
commission’s work, vowed to
meet individually with victims
who had traveled to Rome and
said he hoped the coming days
“will eventually lead to healing
for everyone.”
Anthony Foster, whose eldest
daughter was repeatedly raped
by priest Kevin O’Donnell and
committed suicide, said it was
“astounding and empowering
for victims” that the commission was now sitting in judgment of Pell on a global stage.
“I feel as though we haven’t
just brought it to Rome. We’ve
brought it to the world,” Foster
said.
The commission has no
power to file criminal charges.
But commissioners can note in
their report whether they
believe someone has broken the
law and refer the matter to
police and prosecutors.
Pell’s testimony will resume
late Monday night.

CLEVELAND HIGH SCHOOL dual-enrollment students attended Lee University's Production of the
Odyssey. The Odyssey has been part of CHS curriculum for years, but there had not been a worthwhile film or visual representation of the text which could bring the story alive in a relevant, yet accurate
way for the students. Lee University offered CHS students a discount on tickets, and accommodated
nearly 40 students from Brian DeLoach's English classes. Students attended the show and prepared a
critical analysis of the play which they discussed in class the following morning at school. Senior Emory
McKeel said, "The actors and actresses conveyed their roles very well. I especially loved the scenes with
Calypso and Hermes! They kept the crowd laughing while keeping with the original story with incredible
accuracy.” Senior Caleb Mott applauded the accuracy of the play as well, saying, "the actors did a fantastic job of following the source material." The Cyclops scene was a crowd favorite.
