PUTNAM COUNTY — A Putnam
County man pleaded guilty in criminal
court yesterday to voluntary manslaughter
in the May 2014 shooting death of his son.
But Ralph Brock, 69, maintains that he
acted in self-defense during that early
morning argument and pleaded guilty to
the charge “for health reasons.”
“We’ve already lost our son. He wasn’t
perfect, but he was ours, and we regret
that he’s gone,” Brock told the Herald-
Citizen yesterday following the matter.
Had Brock not entered a guilty plea this
Brock was indicted by the Putnam week, his case was set to go to trial.
County Grand Jury eight months after the And had a jury found him guilty of the
incident, in January 2015, on one count two offenses for which he was charged,
each of voluntary manslaughter and em- both of which are class C felonies, he

DEKALB COUNTY — The director of a non-profit that seeks
to provide help for unsheltered
animals lost her own animals as
well as her home last night to a
fire in the Austin Bottom area of
DeKalb County.
A fire that reportedly began in
the basement of the DeKalb
County home of Eric and Linda
Westin was estimated to have
caused $450,000 in damages, according to DeKalb County Assistant Fire Chief David Agee.
Linda Westin is the director of
the Friends of Cookeville/Putnam County Animals.
“It’s just a bad situation for a
very good couple,” Agee told the
Herald-Citizen this morning.
“They lost both dogs and a cat.
He (homeowner) couldn’t get
any of them out. By the time he
got the door open, it was on its
way to being a fully-involved
basement fire.”
Agee said the DeKalb County
Fire Department was notified of
the fire at the two-story home
about 15 minutes before 6 last
night, and the Austin Bottom area
has one fire truck, which was the
first to respond.
“They (Austin Bottom firefighters) had a very good response

Putnam fair brings home state awards
By LINDSAY

NASHVILLE — The 89th
Putnam County Fair received a
handful of awards last weekend
at the 94th Annual Convention
of the Tennessee Association of
Fairs at the Sheraton Music City
Hotel in Nashville.
The Putnam County Fair received first place in the AAA division for best fair book ahead
of the Williamson and Cumberland county fairs.
Putnam County received third
place for the tabloid produced
by the Herald-Citizen behind
the Tennessee Valley and Henry
County fairs.
Putnam County received the
majority of its awards for contestants who submitted items in
the quilting categories.
Jean Evans of Cookeville received first place for her handpieced and hand sewn quilt
ahead of contestants in the
Houston and Macon county
fairs. The quilt made by Evans
also received the Golden Needle
Award as the most outstanding
quilt in the state show case. The
quilt depicted the life of her
granddaughter from birth to
present day, according to Putnam Fair Board President John
Allen.
Trudy Cody’s quilt received
first place in the hand-pieced
and machine-quilted category,
and the quilt block made by
Nancy Pardue of Cookeville received third place behind contestants in the Sequatchie and
Macon county fairs.
Fifty-five fairs from across the

Supreme Court suspends law license of John Philip Parsons
By TRACEY HACKETT
COOKEVILLE — A local attorney has
been temporarily suspended from practicing law.
That suspension involves the practice of
John Philip Parsons after the Tennessee
Supreme Court’s Board of Professional
Responsibility found that the attorney had
failed to properly respond regarding a
complaint of misconduct.
Phone: 931-526-9715
Fax: 931-526-1209
The information released from the Board
of Professional Responsibility last week
does not provide further details about that
complaint of misconduct.
Upon his suspension, Parsons is “immediately precluded from accepting new
cases,” says the information released by
the board.
The attorney also has been issued a deadline of Feb. 20 into order to cease representing any existing clients.
“After Feb. 20, 2016, Mr. Parsons shall
not use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant or law clerk nor maintain a presence
where the practice of law is conducted,”
the board says.
In addition, Parsons is required to notify
all of the clients being currently represented by him in pending matters, as well
as opposing counsel and any possible cocounsel, of the Supreme Court’s order to
suspend his law license.
And he must deliver to his clients any papers and property belonging to them or to
which they are entitled, the board says.
Although the suspension will be in effect
until the Supreme Court dissolves or modifies the order, Parsons may, for good
cause, petition for the order to be modified
so that he can return to practicing law at
some point in the future.
An attempt by the Herald-Citizen to contact Parsons via his office phone shortly
following the announcement of his suspension found that the line had already
been disconnected.

SHOOTING: Father pleads guilty
From Page 1
would have faced a prison sentence of nine to
12 years.
The firearm charge alone would have resulted in a mandatory sentence of six years,
which would have been required to run consecutively and not concurrently with the
manslaughter charge.
A guilty verdict for the manslaughter charge
would have resulted in a sentence of three to
six years, and both charges may have come
with additional fines.
Brock pleaded guilty to the voluntary
manslaughter charge, and the firearm charge
against him was dropped.
According to the plea agreement entered
yesterday and accepted by Criminal Court
Judge David Patterson, Brock — who has no
previous offenses in his criminal history and
is considered a standard offender — will
serve four years all of which will be suspended to probation.
“But I will never regain my civil rights,”
Brock told the Herald-Citizen.
Both he and his defense attorney, Shawn
Fry, said the outcome was bittersweet.
According to Fry, an investigation by the
Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, then
under the direction of Sheriff David Andrews,
immediately following the incident deemed
that the man had acted in self-defense in the
shooting that caused the death of his 26-yearold son, William.
Based on that finding, therefore, the case at
that time was not sent to the Putnam County
Grand Jury.
It was eventually presented to the grand jury,
as any case of such a serious nature should

pened to fall beside a coffee table where the
family kept a handgun for protection,” Fry
said.
The perspectives of the prosecution and the
defense diverged at this point in the matter.
Fry, as well as Brock himself, maintains that
the man was in fear for his life and took up
the gun as a means of protecting himself.
After the man picked up the gun, Fry said
William Brock continued to challenge his father.
“He asked his father, ‘What are you going
to do, shoot me?’ while continuing to walk toward him,” Fry said.
Ralph Brock did fire that gun, fatally injuring William Brock with shots to the chest and
abdomen.
But the prosecution maintains that the actions of Ralph Brock exceeded the threat presented by his son.
Although the defense maintained that Ralph
Brock’s age and health conditions proved a
liability in the situation, the prosecution maintained otherwise, saying that when law enforcement arrived on the scene, two men
were required to subdue him.
Brock himself maintains that he cooperated
with law enforcement.
“When I shot my son, I waived my Miranda
rights and spoke willingly with law enforcement. I allowed them to search my house
without a warrant,” he said.
Brock said the compromise in the case that
led to his guilty plea was reached with difficulty.
“My wife and daughter didn’t want me to go
to jail, so at least we were able to get that,”
he said.
Bret Gunn represented the prosecution.
Car taken for service reportedly burglarized by employee
By TRACEY HACKETT
COOKEVILLE — He got new tires but
was missing an amplifier.
That’s what a local man told police he
discovered after taking his car to a local
store to be serviced, and an employee of
the establishment was charged in connection with the incident.
Thomas E. Kelsey, of Flynns Creek in
Gainesboro, was charged with burglary of
a motor vehicle following an investigation by the Cookeville Police Department.
Officer Yvette Demming said she responded to the store last week in reference to “a theft from a vehicle that was
serviced at that location.”
When the victim returned to the location
to pick up a vehicle after servicing, it was
discovered that “an Alpine amplifier had
been stolen from the trunk of his vehicle,”
Officer Demming reports.
That amplifier was valued at $550.
Capt. Carl Sells of the Cookeville Police
Department’s criminal investigation division said that Kelsey was developed as a
suspect in the incident.
“Further investigation was sufficient to
charge him.
“A warrant was obtained, and Mr.
Kelsey was subsequently arrested in connection with the incident,” Capt. Sells
said.
He adds that the stolen property was re-
trieved from Kelsey’s vehicle.
Kelsey’s employment at the business
has reportedly been terminated as a result
of the incident.
He was transported to the Putnam
County Jail, where he was booked on a
total bond of $3,500.
Kelsey has since posted bond and been
released from jail.
According to information on file, his initial appearance in Putnam County General Sessions Court is set for Feb. 8.

be, said District Attorney General Bryant
Dunaway.
“The grand jury is made up of 12 men and
women, as well as a grand jury foreman, and
the case was indicted because all 13 found
probable cause to charge Mr. Brock with
those two original offenses,” he told the Herald-Citizen.
“It was found that the actions of Ralph
Brock did unnecessarily cause the death of
his son, William Brock, but because they
were actions of passion and not premeditation, a murder charge was not appropriate. A
charge of voluntary manslaughter, however,
was appropriate,” Dunaway continued.
Both Fry and Dunaway said William Brock
had a history of addiction and drug offenses.
“As a result of his addiction issues and
pending court cases, he had moved back into
the house with his parents,” Fry told the Herald-Citizen.
In the early hours of the mid-May morning
the incident happened, a friend of William
Brock had pulled up in front of the family’s
home on Ben Jared Road, near the Southern
Hills Golf and Country Club.
“Will’s parents confronted his friend and
tried to convince their son not to go out,” Fry
said.
That’s when an argument broke out between
father and son. Fry maintains that William
Brock attacked his father, but Dunaway said
the situation was predominantly a verbal altercation. Both attorneys agree that William
Brock did push his father at least twice during
that argument.
“The first time, Will pushed his father into
a wall, and the second time, he pushed him
into another room, where Ralph Brock hap-
ALGOOD — Improvements
to Burton Branch Road are
scheduled to be bid out in the
early spring after many delays,
officials with the Tennessee
Department of Transportation
said.
“The project is scheduled for
the April 1, 2016, letting,” Jennifer Flynn, community relations officer with TDOT, said.
“The issue we’re working
through is that the soil in the
area is not as good as we expected, so we will have to take
extra measures to reinforce the
roadway.”
Those extra measures will include removing the bad soil
and replacing it with graded
solid rock.
“The challenge will be working around the city sewer line,
which is buried beneath the
center of the road,” Flynn said.
“We are determining if we can
do this extra work to reinforce
the roadway without affecting
the sewer line.”
TDOT hopes that issue will be
resolved by the bid letting date.
This project has been in the
works since 2009 and would
widen Burton Branch Road ,
beginning south of the intersection of West Main Street and
ending at the intersection of
Dry Valley Road — a project
that is nearly half a mile.
There would be three lanes —
including a turn lane — and it
would straighten the curve a
bit.
As of 2014, the city was responsible for $850,000 of the
nearly $2 million project. That
includes half of the right-ofway acquisitions and $139,000
for the turn lane.
TDOT would pay all the engineering costs and construction,
half of the right-of-way acquisitions and surveying and permits, estimated to total nearly
$1.7 million.
Recently, the estimated cost
for the construction incidentals
increased by $131,222.

in Brief
School voucher bill
headed for floor vote
in Tennessee House
NASHVILLE (AP) — An
effort to create a school
voucher program in Tennessee
has cleared its last major committee before a full House
vote.
The House Finance Committee voted 11-10 on Wednesday
in favor of the measure sponsored by Republican Rep. Bill
Dunn of Knoxville.
The Senate has already
passed its version of the bill,
and Republican Gov. Bill
Haslam said earlier Wednesday that he plans to sign the
measure into law if it remains
unchanged from its current
form.
Under the bill, the voucher
worth about $7,000 would be
made available to parents of
children eligible for free or reduced lunch who attend
schools ranking in the bottom
5 percent statewide.
Hawkins County
approves anti-gay
marriage resolution
ROGERSVILLE (AP) —
Despite last week’s defeat of a
proposed General Assembly
bill that sought to defy the
U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage,
two Tennessee counties have
attempted to vote on resolutions against the ruling.
The Kingsport Times-News
reports that a Hawkins County
resolution against the ruling
was approved 13-3 on Monday with three abstentions.
In light of the state bill,
which was defeated 4-1 in
committee, Hawkins County
Commissioner John Metz suggested tabling the county resolution.
The Washington County
Commission was also due to
vote on a similar resolution
Monday, but the Johnson City
Press reports that the commission canceled its entire meeting because of overcrowding
inside a packed 200-seat
courtroom.
The vote was postponed so
that a larger venue could be
found to host the public meeting.
Memphis police
body camera rollout
suspended
indefinitely
MEMPHIS (AP) — Memphis officials have come under
scrutiny after the suspension
of the rollout of about 2,000
body cameras that police say
were expected to be in use by
October.
News outlets report Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland announced
the
indefinite
suspension of the devices Jan.
15, saying the rollout had been
hurried and the implementation wasn’t well organized.

time, and by the time they got
there, one outside wall was partially still standing,” Agee said.
“It burned very rapidly.”
Additional volunteers and fire
trucks had to come from
Smithville, according to Agee,
about 25 minutes from the
home.
“When we got on the scene,
the house was fully involved,”
Agee said. “It was all we could
do to protect the structures on
each side.”
Neighboring structures included a nearby house and a
mother-in-law’s suite on the
property, as well as a 500-gallon
propane tank that was cause for
concern.
“We had to act fast,” Agee
said.
The propane tank was within
15 foot of the fire, and the
neighbor’s house was probably
30 feet from that, Agee said.
The Putnam County Fire Department also responded with a
tanker and volunteers through
the counties’ mutual aid agreement.
“I’m very thankful for them,
(Putnam County),” Agee said.
“They really help us out in that
area.”
The cause of the fire is unde-
termined, according to Agee,
who said his department doesn’t
investigate fires unless they
seem suspicious.
“It was just plain and simple I
think, accidental,” Agee said.
“He (homeowner) had a space
heater down there (in the basement) for the dogs.
“It’s a challenging area because we are so far away,” Agee
said.
Agee said Mr. Westin had second degree burns to top of his
hands, “between trying to possibly get dogs and dealing with
that, he was using garden hose
to try to do what he could do to
protect other dwellings until we
got there.”
Agee said he was taken by a
regular vehicle to Cookeville
Regional Medical Center.
Linda Westin was not at home
at the time of the fire.
Agee said the Westins are staying with a neighbor who is also
a DeKalb County volunteer firefighter.
“A firefighter’s motto is ‘big
fire, big water,’” Agee said. “It
was challenging to get the water
supply set up.
“It’s just a very rural area. I
hate it. Our thoughts are with
them. It’s a bad situation.
“They lost everything except
what they had on,” Agee said.
Hospital group takes
longer approach to
Insure Tennessee
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Tennessee Hospital Association, a key supporter of Republican Gov. Bill Haslam’s
unsuccessful effort to expand
Medicaid in the state, is planning a new push to pass the
measure once this year’s presidential election is over.
The members of the hospital
group had pledged to cover the
entire $74 million state share of
Haslam’s Insure Tennessee
proposal, which would have
drawn down $2.8 billion in federal Medicaid funds over two
years. But Republican lawmakers rejected Haslam’s plan last
year amid fears that it was too
closely linked to President
Barack Obama’s signature
health care law.
THA President Craig Becker
said the group is spending
about $400,000 to found a nonprofit called Tennesseans for a
Responsible Future that is
aimed at gathering support for
passing the measure once
Obama leaves office next year.
“It really is to kind of offset
some of the misconceptions
and certainly to educate our
legislators to what Insure Tennessee is and what it isn’t,”
Becker said.

Four New
Yorkers for
president?
M
any Americans used to regard New York City as a
bankrupt foreign vessel
docked on their Atlantic coastline.
Then the place got cleaned up, and
after the heroism (and stoicism) of
Sept. 11, 2001, much of the hostility
was replaced with affection.
Perhaps nothing signifies the change
in status more than the prospect of
four — count ’em, four — New Yorkers as leading candidates for president. The latest would be former New
York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg,
who just said he was considering a
third-party run.
Already on base
in this subway series are Donald
Trump, former
New York Sen.
Hillary Clinton
and Bernie
Sanders, a senator
from Vermont
whose voice
never left Brooklyn.
Froma
Bloomberg’s inHarrop
terest in entering
the race apparently reflects his alarm that socialist
Sanders might be the Democratic candidate and bigmouth Trump the Republican. Two polarizing candidates
might open up a third-party opportunity. Nothing personal, you understand.
Ted Cruz probably regrets his attack
on Trump’s alleged “New York values,” which he defined as “socially
liberal, pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage and focus around money and the
media.”
Trump’s defense of the city drew
cheers from the Republican debate
audience. But the best comeback was
later supplied by Long Island Republican Pete King, who advised Cruz,
“Go back under a rock.”
New York City has long been misunderstood as a hotbed of radical left
politics embodying an attitude of anything goes in one’s behavior. That’s
not quite right. More than socially liberal, New Yorkers are socially tolerant. There’s a difference.
New Yorkers must deal with people
of all colors, accents and cultural
folkways. There are 8.4 million stories in the naked city, and if you can’t
make peace with that, New York will
drive you nuts.
But the populace also has a conservative streak. They want the chaos
carefully managed. Current Mayor
Bill de Blasio is the first Democrat
elected in 20 years — and his radicalleft policies are not going over very
well.
Obviously, party labels in the city’s
local government don’t matter much.
Bloomberg was a former Democrat
elected mayor as a Republican and
then re-elected as an independent.
Pragmatism is his middle name.
The combative New York way of
speaking may be helping the Trump
and Sanders campaigns. Linguists say
it conveys emotion and an air of honesty, a telling-it-as-it-is. It’s no accident that the most successful
right-wing radio haranguers are New
Yorkers Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity
and Michael Savage.
For good or bad, Trump towers over
the rest as the quintessential Broadway showman. He makes average
working people feel they’ve been invited to his party. When Trump says
of Cruz, “He’s a strident person; nobody likes him,” that’s intimate cocktail banter he’s sharing with everyone.
And his are madcap parties. Trump
lit up with childish delight during
Sarah Palin’s disjointed endorsement
of his candidacy. It was as though he
had just seen a chimpanzee swing on
the chandeliers.
The other New Yorkers are far more
contained. Clinton, a daughter of the
Midwest, is guarded. Boston-born
Bloomberg is sober to a fault.
Sanders, meanwhile, neatly divides
the world between “establishment”
(bad) and those on his side (good).
As for Bloomberg’s possible run, the
other New Yorkers have responded
with cautious courtesy. Trump said he
likes Bloomberg. Clinton said she
feels likewise, adding that Bloomberg
won’t have to run if she’s the Democratic nominee. And Sanders offered a
fairly innocuous self-reference: “Now
I’ll be running against two billionaires.”
No New Yorker has occupied the
White House since Franklin D. Roosevelt died while in office 71 years
ago. That’s a long time for New Yorkers to be out of the presidential game.
They may very well be back.

Will we choose freedom?
O
ne of the greatest gifts my
hardworking, blue-collar father gave me when I was
young was the belief that no one
owes me anything. His wisdom carried me through some difficult times
growing up and helped shape me
into the person I am today. It seems
that self-reliant attitude my dad instilled in me is all but lost in this
country.
As the presidential election draws
near, with Hillary possibly being fitted for an orange jumpsuit with
complementary ankle chains and the
self-avowed socialist, Bernie
Sanders, rising in the polls, it might
be time to consider my dad’s ideals
and the freedoms we once knew will
soon be a thing of the past, should a
liberal take office.
Typically, what one president does
in moderation, the next like-minded
president usually does in excess, so
going from a closet socialist to a
full-blown socialist is not a big leap
for Democrats. But, for those of us
who still believe in our beloved constitution and cling to the freedoms
within, a socialist president represents the greatest threat to our constitution in modern times and would
take us about as far from what our
founders intended as we could go.
Not that long ago, my father’s cando attitude was common place, until
snakes from both sides of the political aisle began to understand immense power could be gained by
peddling handouts in exchange for
votes. If they know anything at all,
these self-serving political serpents
understand human nature. If you
give people what they didn’t earn
from sources to which they didn’t
contribute, they
quickly become
dependent. Add
a bit of Machiavellian wordsmithing by
redefining those
handouts as
“rights” and
voila! You create
a permanent voting base.
Susan
Our founders
Brown
spoke of “unalienable
rights.” Like modern day snake oil
salesmen, politicians market tangible handouts, a never ending list of
miscellaneous freebies, instead of
the intangibles of “life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.” They have
succeeded in transforming the Declaration of Independence into a “Declaration of Dependence.”
The Democrat Party is predominately the trustee of that “Declaration of Dependence” but they are not
alone. Under Speaker of the House
Paul Ryan’s leadership, likeminded
Republicans just assisted President
Obama in engineering the largest expansion of the federal government’s
safety net in fifty years, despite
large GOP majorities in both houses
of Congress.
The $1.8 trillion deal approved in
December made permanent certain
tax breaks and credits which were
originally considered temporary relief during Obama’s first year to
help people through the recession.
Despite the fact that we cannot afford this expansion, it is now permanent – and our children and their
children will foot the bill. The Seat-
Are you watching enough television?
S
tudies say the average American
spends five and a half hours a day
watching some kind of video — TV,
movies or online videos. But mostly TV.
What a bunch of amateurs.
I watch five and a half hours of television before breakfast. But then, it’s kind
of my job to watch TV. I watch it so you
don’t have to. While I’m stuck inside the
house turning into the spitting image of
Jabba the Hutt, you can be out bowling,
shopping or talking to other humans who
might actually respond. I’ve been talking
back to the television for years, and not
once has it answered me back.
There has been a lot of talk recently
about how cellphones and Facebook and
Instagram and Tindr and streaming have
made us less social. A lot of that discussion takes place on TV, as if watching TV
is somehow the height of social interaction. If Facebook and Twitter are bad, the
boob tube is infinitely worse. Even my
most prolific Facebook posters aren’t
spending anywhere near five and a half
hours a day on Facebook.
But some of you are apparently not
watching enough TV, because I am starting to see stories on the Internet with
headlines like “How to Watch the Candidates’ Debate” and “How to Watch the
Super Bowl.” As if these are tasks that require instructions.
If you watch enough TV, one day you
will see everything. I
once watched a nature
show about poaching
rhinos in Africa. The
poachers don’t kill
these great animals for
their meat or skin;
they just cut off the
horn and leave the carcass to rot. Then the
horn is ground up and
Jim
sold as an aphrodisiac.
Now, let me ask you:
Mullen
With 7 billion people
on this planet, do we
need any aphrodisiacs?
Another time, I saw a news story about a
company that sells bottled water for dogs.
Dog owners are buying it at $1.98 a quart,
and they say their dogs love it. Of course
the dogs love it. It probably comes from
some guy’s toilet. A really, really rich
guy’s toilet.
I can still remember when all the TV
critics said that “Seinfeld” was a show
about nothing. What did they think the
rest of TV was about? Plato’s “Republic”? Renaissance art? A comprehensive
study of the events that led up to the
French Revolution? Is “Wheel of Fortune” about something? Is “Keeping Up
With the Kardashians” about something?
The big news in TV right now is that
agents Mulder and Scully will be back in-
vestigating the paranormal in a new run
of “The X-Files.” The brilliance of the
original “X-Files” was not the acting, the
suspense or the plot — it was the set decoration and the location shots. It was always set in places that don’t charge any
location fees: parking garages, shipping
container docks, railroad sidings. Half the
scenes were just dark rooms with Mulder
holding a flashlight. They made a science
of doing things on the cheap. Compare
that to the expense of shooting a lavish
scene in “Downton Abbey.”
Oddly, though, the craziest paranormal
activity taking place on television is not
on “The X-Files,” but in advertisements
for phone-in psychics. They all seem to
follow a similar script that goes like this:
“I called for a sample reading, and it
was like Psychic Sally really understood
me. She told me I was a gullible, silly
fool who falls for anything. And she was
right! She seemed to know right away
that I’m the kind of person who’s always
being taken advantage of.
How could she know that without even
meeting me? She also knew that I’m always broke because the numbers in my
dreams never end up winning the Powerball.
It’s like she’s known me all my life! Call
Psychic Sally... She knows you, too!”
Jim Mullen is a syndicated columnist.
tle Times reports this expansion is
“the government’s largest cash-assistance program…with more than
40 million people receiving benefits
each year.”
All the Democrat Party presidential
candidates say they want to expand
far beyond this government overreach while a couple of sensibleminded conservatives propose
policies intended to roll back unnecessary handouts to help get America
back on the track to being the exceptional nation she once was. Allowing
individuals to enjoy their God-endowed freedom to achieve their
unique definition of “The American
Dream” ensures that future generations will have the opportunity to
stand on their own without government interference or the slavery of
dependence.
Had America’s founders believed
entitlements trumped ingenuity, the
“New World” would be just like the
old one, which is a case study in
what happens when liberals are left
to themselves. Long before he became president, Ronald Reagan said,
“Freedom is never more than one
generation away from extinction.
We didn’t pass it on to our children
in the bloodstream. It must be
fought for, protected, and handed on
for them to do the same, or one day
we will spend our sunset years
telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like
in the United States where men were
free.”

in Brief
No appeals planned
for man set to die for
officer's death
HOUSTON (AP) — No late
appeals are expected for a man
who is set to be executed for a
Texas game warden’s death
during a 2007 shootout.
James Freeman’s scheduled
lethal
injection
would be the
second in as
many weeks
in
Texas,
Freeman
which carries
out capital punishment more
than any other state. The U.S.
Supreme Court earlier this
month refused to review Freeman’s case, and his attorney,
Don Vernay, said he doesn’t
plan any new appeals to try to
block the execution from happening
Wednesday
in
Huntsville.
The Texas Board of Pardons
and Paroles on Monday declined a clemency petition
from Freeman.
Freeman was suspected of illegally hunting at night from
his truck in Southeast Texas’
Wharton County when a game
warden spotted him. Freeman
sped away, leading authorities
on a 90-minute chase that
reached 130 mph. It ended
near a cemetery not far from
his home in Lissie with Freeman stepping out of his disabled pickup truck and
shooting at officers.
He emptied his 11-shot .357caliber
handgun,
then
switched to an AK-47 assault
rifle with a 30-round clip.
When it was over, Freeman
had been shot four times and
Justin Hurst, a Texas Parks and
Wildlife game warden who
had joined the March 17,
2007, chase, was fatally
wounded. It was Hurst’s 34th
birthday.
Chinese national
to be sentenced
for illegal
exports to Iran
BOSTON (AP) — A Chinese
national faces sentencing for
supplying Iran with devices
that can be used to make nuclear weapons-grade uranium.
Prosecutors will recommend
a 15-year prison term for Sihai
Cheng, who pleaded guilty in
December to conspiring to
commit export violations and
smuggle goods from the U.S.
to Iran and illegally exporting
U.S.-manufactured pressure
transducers to Iran.
A sentencing hearing is
scheduled Wednesday in U.S.
District Court.
Cheng’s lawyer says he’ll
argue that the nearly two years
Cheng has served in jail is
enough punishment. He was
arrested in London in Feb.
2014. Prosecutors say Cheng
set up shell companies in
China to receive transducers
from the Shanghai subsidiary
of MIKS Instruments Inc.,
based in Andover, Massachusetts. The government has said
that MKS sent the instruments
to China without knowing
they were to go to Iran.
Judge tells nuns to
rework lawsuit over
strip club neighbor
CHICAGO (AP) — A convent in suburban Chicago
plans to move forward with an
effort to close a neighboring
strip club even after a legal
setback.
Cook County Circuit Judge
Peter Flynn on Tuesday told
the Missionary Sisters of St.
Charles Borromeo to rework
their lawsuit against Club Allure in Stone Park alleging it

Flynn also dismissed claims
that the club violates zoning
laws.
He asked the nuns’ lawyers
to provide specific, detailed
examples of nuisances or lewd
behavior.
1 dead in arrests of standoff leaders
BURNS, Ore. (AP) — Federal
and state law officers arrested the
leaders of an armed group occupying a national wildlife refuge,
during a traffic stop along a highway in Oregon’s frozen high
country that prompted gunfire
and left one man dead.
Militant leader Ammon Bundy
and his followers were reportedly
heading to a community meeting
at the senior center Tuesday in
John Day, about 70 miles north of
Burns, to address local residents
to discuss their views on federal
management of public lands.
In a statement, the FBI and Oregon State Police said agents had
made a total of eight arrests —
including Ammon Bundy.
Oregon State Police confirmed
that its troopers were involved in
the traffic-stop shooting. One of
those arrested, described only as
a man, suffered non-life-threatening wounds, the agencies said.
Another man “who was a subject
of a federal probable cause arrest” was killed, they said.
The agencies said they would
not release further information
pending identification by the
medical examiner.
The Oregonian reported that
Arizona rancher Robert “LaVoy”
Finicum was the person killed,
citing the man’s daughter. The
55-year-old was a frequent and
public presence at the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge, often
speaking for the group at news
conferences.
Arianna Finicum Brown confirmed her father’s death to the
paper, saying “he would never
ever want to hurt somebody, but
he does believe in defending
freedom and he knew the risks
involved.”
AP
Sgt. Tom Hutchison stands in front of an Oregon State Police roadblock on Tuesday. Authorities say shots were fired
Tuesday during the arrest of members of an armed group that has occupied a national wildlife refuge in Oregon for
more than three weeks.
It was unclear how many people
remained in the buildings at the
refuge. Late Tuesday night there
was no obvious police presence
there and Oregon Gov. Kate
Brown asked for “patience as officials continue pursuit of a swift
and peaceful resolution.”
Brand Thornton, one of
Bundy’s supporters, said he left
the refuge Monday and wasn’t
sure what those remaining would
do.
“The entire leadership is gone,”
he told The Associated Press in a
telephone interview. “I wouldn’t
blame any of them for leaving.”
Thornton called the arrests “a
dirty trick” by law enforcement.
In addition to Ammon Bundy,
those arrested were: his brother
Ryan Bundy, 43; Brian Cavalier,
charge of conspiracy to impede
officers of the United States from
discharging their official duties
through the use of force, intimidation or threats, authorities said.
Authorities released few other
details.
A new conference with the FBI,
local sheriff and other was scheduled for late Wednesday morning.
44; Shawna Cox, 59; and Ryan
Payne, 32 - apprehended during
the traffic stop on U.S. Highway
395 Tuesday afternoon. Authorities said two others — Joseph
Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, and
Peter Santilli, 50 — were arrested
separately in Burns, while FBI
agents in Arizona arrested another, Jon Eric Ritzheimer, 32.

FBI: Man plotted
machine gun
attack on
Masonic temple
By GREG MOORE and TODD RICHMOND
Associated Press writers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee man wanted to storm a Masonic temple with a machine gun and kill at least 30 people in an attack he hoped would show “nobody can play with Muslims” and
spark more mass shootings in the United States, federal agents said Tuesday after the man’s arrest.
Federal prosecutors charged 23-year-old Samy Mohamed Hamzeh with unlawfully possessing a machine gun and receiving and possessing firearms not
registered to him. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney,
Dean Puschnig, didn’t immediately respond to a
question asking why charges were limited to gun
Hamzeh
possession.
Hamzeh’s attorney, federal defender Ronnie Murray, didn’t immediately return email and voicemail messages left
after business hours.
According to an FBI affidavit, agents were tipped off in September
that Hamzeh planned to travel to Israel in October to attack Israeli
soldiers and citizens in the West Bank. He abandoned those plans
due to “family, financial and logistic reasons,” the affidavit said, but
refocused his efforts on a domestic attack.
Hamzeh discussed his plans extensively with two FBI informants.
The affidavit said the FBI started recording his conversations with
the informants in October.
Hamzeh and the two informants traveled to a gun range on Jan. 19
and practiced with a pistol. Afterward they took a tour of a Masonic
temple in Milwaukee. The affidavit does not name the temple and
Puschnig declined to identify it.
Masons are members of a fraternal organization that carries out a
variety of activities including charity work. Wisconsin has nearly
11,000 Masons in 180 lodges, according to Frank Struble, grand master of Free and Accepted Masons in Wisconsin. The organization is
not a religion.
Struble said the allegations were “hard to hear.” He said he knew
which Masonic center had been targeted but declined to identify it.
“Masons are a part of an organization that helped build this country,” Struble said. “I can understand from that standpoint where
someone who is against this country would target us.”
The owner of a downtown Milwaukee gym said she recently fired
Hamzeh after hiring him as a trainer just a few weeks ago.

Repeal of emergency manager
law part of NAACP’s Flint plan
FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Chief
among the priorities national
and local NAACP leaders listed
Tuesday for the lead-tainted
water crisis in Flint is the repeal
of Michigan’s emergency manager law, which they view as a
contributor to the public health
emergency.
The “15-point priority plan,”
which the NAACP drew up with
Flint residents, was the focus of
a community meeting and was
discussed at a closed-door,
evening meeting with Gov. Rick
Snyder, National NAACP President and Chief Executive Cornell Brooks and other officials.
The plan also calls for the distribution of bottled water to
households to be steered from
National Guard members to
Flint youth who would be paid
minimum wage, as well as free
home inspections to determine
the extent of damage to the
plumbing caused by lead that
leached from aging city pipes.
Brooks, head of the nation’s
oldest civil rights organization,
told reporters after the meeting
that it was a “frank” and “forthright conversation.” He said the
Republican governor discussed
state efforts and listened to the
proposals, which include creating a victims’ fund. Brooks
added that Snyder’s regret for
what has happened in Flint appears “genuine.”
“We had a very robust conversation about specific reforms: a
need for economic development,
a need to ensure that people who
have been devastated economically have a stake in the restoration of water in their city,” said
Brooks, who also called for a
U.S. Justice Department investigation that focuses on potential
civil rights violations.
Snyder and staff did not speak
to reporters.
It was the latest in a series of
events tied to the city’s switch in
2014 from the Detroit municipal
water system to corrosive Flint
River water while under state
emergency management to save
money. The river water was not
properly treated, causing lead to
get into the drinking water supply. Flint has since switched
back to Detroit water, but tests
have shown high lead levels in
the blood of some Flint children.
Prayers, blood drive for officer wounded in New Orleans
Officials
investigate the
scene
where a
police
officer
was shot
in the
Lower 9th
Ward of
New
Orleans,
Tuesday.
AP
NEW ORLEANS (AP) —
Friends and family of a Louisiana
sheriff’s deputy critically wounded
in New Orleans while serving a
warrant were praying for him as
well-wishers rushed to give blood
to help in his recovery.
Stephen Arnold was still in the
intensive care unit at a New Orleans hospital after losing a lot of
blood and doctors would be monitoring him closely over the next
few days “...to make sure there’s
nothing wrong with his brain,”
Debbie Webber, a spokeswoman
for the Drug Enforcement Admin-
istration in New Orleans, said late
Tuesday.
“We just hope he wakes up,”
Webber said.
Arnold was shot five times, including once in the neck, while
taking part in a task force serving
a warrant in New Orleans.
The man suspected in the shooting, identified by New Orleans police as Jarvis Hardy, was in FBI
custody.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell
Normand, where Arnold worked,
said it will be 48 hours before it’s
clear whether the deputy has neu-
rological damage. Local news outlets said blood centers would remain open Wednesday because the
response was so great.
The police said Hardy was arrested on charges of attempted first
degree murder and narcotics violations, and was being held by the
FBI. The FBI did not respond to
requests for comment on whether
Hardy had a lawyer.
The sheriff’s deputy was part of
a sweeping investigation across
the Crescent City designed to
crack down on the drug trade and
violence associated with it.

Fed faces a messier economic picture 6 weeks after rate hike
WASHINGTON (AP) — Six weeks after raising
interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade,
Federal Reserve policymakers now face a more
perilous global picture that could alter their plans
for further raising rates this year.
Since the Fed increased rates Dec. 16 from record
lows, stock markets have plunged, oil prices have
skidded and China’s leaders have struggled to manage a slowdown in the world’s second-biggest
economy.
Though some analysts say the Fed erred in raising
rates last month, don’t expect the central bank to
acknowledge so when it issues a statement after its
latest policy meeting ends Wednesday afternoon.
But in their meeting, the Fed’s policymakers will
surely grapple with how to respond to the altered
landscape. And some analysts say the Fed might
hint in its statement that the pace of three or four
additional rate increases that many had expected
this year may become more gradual — with perhaps only two rate hikes this year.
The most visible sign of the economic fear has
been the sharp fall in the stock market. The Dow
Jones industrial average shed more than 7 percent

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) —
Two relatives of an 82-year-old
woman who authorities say died
after she sat in the same chair
for six months have been
charged with neglect, according
to warrants obtained Wednesday
by The Associated Press.
The documents show that
David Scott Howell, 43, and
Carole Beam Howell, 74, were
arrested on Jan. 21 and charged
with abuse or neglect resulting
in the death of a vulnerable
adult.
Neither the warrants nor online
court records listed an attorney
for either of them.
Barbara Beam died Jan. 2,
2015, at her Greenville home.
She lived with her sister Carole
Howell and Howell’s son
David. At the time of her death,
police said that Beam’s sister
told them the woman couldn’t
move on her own, “stays in the
chair located in the bedroom
and that she had not moved out
of the chair for approximately
six months,” according to a report.
The sister told police Beam refused to eat a few hours before
her death and they watched a
soap opera together in her bedroom before she went to the
kitchen. When the sister returned, Beam was slumped in
her chair, and didn’t have a
pulse, police said.
Paramedics took Beam from
the chair and put the 200-pound
woman on the floor. Her legs
were still bent in a sitting position when the officer arrived
and she was not wearing pants,
according to the report. Officers
noted indentions on the back of
Beam’s legs and body fluids
staining the chair, saying the
home’s smell was so bad that
firefighters set up a fan at the
door as they worked.
The Greenville County Coroner’s Office ruled Beam’s death
a homicide by neglect, saying
that she died from a blood clot
in her lung.
Beam also had deep vein
thrombosis, which are clots
caused by sitting for long periods of time, and a serious infection that started in her kidneys,
according to the coroner.
Prosecutors have been reviewing the case for a year. David
Howell was listed in jail
Wednesday, and Carole Howell
was released on a personal recognizance bond.
A woman who answered the
phone at a home number listed
for Carole Howell said she did
not know the woman and hung
up on a reporter.
David Howell has been arrested more than a dozen times
since 1991, including charges
for drug possession, underage
drinking and making obscene
phone calls.
There are also several arrests
for criminal domestic violence,
assault and stalking, although
some of those charges were ultimately dropped, according to
state police records.

Divorcing

wife’s online
deception
T
D
EAR ABBY: I have
been married for 10
years. Four years ago,
while waiting for our divorce to
be finalized, I decided I’d start
dating online and suggested she
do the same. We were still
friends, so I didn’t think it was
crossing any boundaries.
My online dating efforts were
met with peculiar results. All of
the six women I connected with
either stood me up or made excuses why they couldn’t or
wouldn’t meet me in person.
Out of frustration I began dating my wife again and we canceled the divorce proceedings.
About a year after we got back
together,
my wife
Dear
confessed
Abby
that the
women I
had reached
out to online were all
fictitious
personae
that she had
constructed
with the intent of exhausting my
Abigail
search efVan Buren
forts. It
worked.
We are now filing for divorce
again, and I’m worried she may
do the same thing. What can I
do? — SOUTHERN GUY
DEAR SOUTHERN GUY:
Because you think your wife
might pull that stunt again, stop
sharing any details of your online dating pursuits with her.
Definitely refrain from telling
her which sites you’re using.
(Use different ones than before.)
Or, hearken back to the good
old days and try meeting people
in person.
The worst that could happen
might be that you encounter
your soon-to-be ex in various
disguises — but you know her
well enough by now that you
should be able to see through
them.
DEAR ABBY: I am engaged
to a wonderful man, and we
will be married soon. We have
been together two years and get
along well. His parents live 35
minutes away and his mom
doesn’t drive.
The other day he commented
that she wanted us to invite her
over, as she hadn’t been over in
a year. I told him his mother is
always welcome and should
just call to make sure we are
home. He then proceeded to tell
me he wanted her to spend the
night.
He said that in his previous relationship, his mother would
stay over occasionally.
I didn’t know what to say, but
at the age of 40, should he really be wanting sleepovers? It
struck me as odd. I’m a private
person and I’m not sure how to
resolve this.
I don’t want him to feel I’m
rejecting his mom, but I don’t
see why she needs to spend the
night. I don’t want to walk on
eggshells with her, because she
called and scolded me about
how I spoke to her son several
months ago. Advice? — LADY
OF THE HOUSE
DEAR LADY: Is there something you haven’t mentioned?
Why has it been a year since
your fiance’s mother has been
invited to visit?
Certainly in all this time you
could have picked her up. A
blanket “come anytime, just
call first” isn’t a proper invitation — particularly if the person doesn’t drive.
If you prefer she not be an
overnight guest, I don’t think
your fiance should force it. And
if you prefer that she not meddle in your relationship with her
son, I hope you made it clear to
her when she “scolded” you. Of
course, it wouldn’t have happened if her son hadn’t tattled
to her — which should be a
glimpse of what marriage to
him may be like if you don’t get
this straightened out now.

Book signing Saturday at Monterey Depot
MONTEREY — A couple of authors
who write “mostly true” stories will be
at the Monterey Depot Museum on Saturday.
Suellen Alfred and Joyce Tatum are
signing their book “From the Mountains
to the River: Mostly True Stories Worth
the Tellin’” from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“I’m really looking forward to visiting
with these ladies,” Monterey cultural administrator and museum curator Julie
Bohannon said.
Bohannon especially noted the smooth
Southern storytelling voice of Alfred.
“Her tone is so beautiful,” she said.
“She’s one of the most gifted storytellers
I’ve ever heard.”
The authors refer to their stories as
“mostly true” since they have noticed
that sometimes stories grow in the
retelling. Tatum is a retired preschool
teacher who also used to be a storyteller
at the Putnam County Library. Alfred is
a Tennessee Tech professor emeritus of
English education who regularly taught
a unit on storytelling. Both authors said
they fear the art of telling a good story is
being lost.
Everyone is welcome to the book signing. Refreshments will be available.

Pope Francis answers questions in new book
By LEANNE ITALIE
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — “Dear Pope
Francis,” 10-year-old Mohammed begins, “Will the world be again as it was
in the past?”
Signed “Respectfully yours,” the boy
wrote from a Jesuit-run school for
refugee children in Syria and was treated
to a long and personal answer from the
pope himself. So were 29 other children
who posed questions to Francis in letters
from around the globe for a new book
poignantly illustrated with their own artwork.
The book, “Dear Pope Francis,” is out
March 1 from Loyola Press in Chicago.
It’s a project that likely wouldn’t have
materialized without the help of Father
Antonio Spadaro, a Jesuit like the pope
and the director of La Civilta Cattolica,
a Roman Catholic journal published in
Rome.
Tom McGrath of the Jesuit-founded
publishing house co-edited the book
with Spadaro after reaching out to the
priest for help. Spadaro brought about
50 letters with questions to the pope so
he could select 30. Spadaro sat with the
pope as he responded to each. Francis
often complimented the artwork of the
children.
“He knows Pope Francis very well,”
McGrath said of Spadaro. “We tried to
make it as easy for the pope as possible.”
The pope’s response to Mohammed
spoke in part of suffering and the people
who inflict it.
“There are those who manufacture
weapons so that people fight each other
and wage war. There are people who
have hate in their hearts. There are people who are interested only in money
and would sell everything for it. They
would even sell other people,” he wrote.
More to Mohammed’s point, Francis
answered: “No, when the time comes,
the world will not be as it was. It will be
far better than it was in the past.”
Once the pope agreed to participate in
the project, Loyola reached out to priests
and lay people around the world to connect the publisher with children to write
the letters.
The 30 kids in the book range in age
from 6 to 13. In all, about 250 letters
were received in 14 languages from 26
countries around the globe. The pope
wound up with about 50 letters from
which to choose.
“He loved the project right from the beginning,” McGrath said. “He has this
great affection for children, who have a
great affection for him. He was surprised
at the depth of the questions.”
There was no condensing or editing of
the pope’s responses. In a 90-minute session with Spadaro last August in Rome,
Francis responded verbally in a mixture
of Italian and Spanish. Spadaro served
as transcriber in addition to connecting
Loyola Press with the Vatican.
“These are the pope’s exact words,”
McGrath said. “At one point he mentioned, ‘These are tough.’ He realized
that he owed the kids a deeper answer
than right off the top of his head.”
Spadaro said via email that the pope
truly pondered when answering the children.
“Often he looked off into space and
tried to imagine the child in front of
him,” he said. “And in his gaze I saw
care, love.”
Loyola will publish the book in English
and Spanish. As an international Jesuit
project, it will also be published simultaneously around the world, including in
Brazil, Indonesia, Slovenia, Mexico and
India.
Arrangements were still being made
but Loyola Press plans to bring 10 of the
children included in the book to Rome
to meet the pope in person, hopefully in
February before its March publication
date.
“The pope is eager to meet them,” McGrath said. “He was quick to say he
would like to make that happen.”
Character actor Abe Vigoda dead at 94
By HILLEL ITALIE
AP National Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Character actor
Abe Vigoda, whose leathery, sunkeneyed face made him ideal for playing the
over-the-hill detective Phil Fish in the
1970s TV series “Barney Miller” and the
doomed Mafia soldier in “The Godfather,” died Tuesday at age 94.
Vigoda’s daughter, Carol Vigoda
Fuchs, told The Associated Press that
Vigoda died Tuesday morning in his
sleep at Fuchs’ home in Woodland Park,
New Jersey. The cause of death was old
age. “This man was never sick,” Fuchs
said.
Vigoda worked in relative obscurity as
a supporting actor in the New York theater and in television until Francis Ford
Coppola cast him in the 1972 Oscarwinning “The Godfather.” Vigoda
played Sal Tessio, an old friend of Vito
Corleone’s (Marlon Brando) who hopes
to take over the family after Vito’s death
by killing his son Michael Corleone (Al
Pacino). But Michael anticipates that
Sal’s suggestion for a “peace summit”
among crime families is a setup and the
escorts Sal thought were taking him to
the meeting turn out to be his execution-
ers.
“Tell Mike it was
only business,” Sal
mutters to consigliere
Tom
Hagen (Robert Duvall) as he’s led
away.
The great success
of the film and
“The Godfather
Vigoda
Part II” made his
face and voice, if
not his name, recognizable to the general
public and led to numerous roles, often
as hoodlums.
But it was his comic turn in “Barney
Miller,” which starred Hal Linden and
ran from 1975 to 1982, that brought
Vigoda’s greatest recognition.
He liked to tell the story of how he won
the role of Detective Fish. An exercise
enthusiast, Vigoda had just returned
from a five-mile jog when his agent
called and told him to report immediately to the office of Danny Arnold, who
was producing a pilot for a police station
comedy.
Arnold remarked that Vigoda looked
tired, and the actor explained about his
jog. “You know, you look like you might
have hemorrhoids,” Arnold said. “What
are you — a doctor or a producer?”
Vigoda asked. He was cast on the spot.
“The Complete Directory to Prime
Time Network and Cable TV Shows,” a
reference book, commented that Vigoda
was the hit of “Barney Miller.” “Not
only did he look incredible, he sounded
and acted like every breath might be his
last,” it said.
His resemblance to Boris Karloff led to
his casting in the 1986 New York revival
of “Arsenic and Old Lace,” playing the
role Karloff originated on the stage in
the 1940s. (The murderous character in
the black comedy is famously said by
other characters to resemble Boris
Karloff, a great joke back when the real
Karloff was playing him.)
Born in New York City in 1921,
Vigoda attended the Theater School of
Dramatic Arts at Carnegie Hall. In the
early 1950s, he appeared as straight man
for the Jimmy Durante and Ed Wynn TV
comedies.
For 30 years, he worked in the theater,
acting in dozens of plays in such diverse
characters as John of Gaunt in “Richard
II” (his favorite role) and Abraham Lincoln in a short-lived Broadway comedy
“Tough to Get Help.”
he snow came down and
the text messages flew.
Daughter and two of her
friends planned a sledding
party. So right after lunch, nine
children and their parents hit
our backyard.
Most suited out in snow pants
and boots. Waterproof gloves
and coats. Some with snow ski
glasses and face warmers. The
dads unloaded wooden sleds
with metal runners and big
round plastic discs. Quite different from the days when I was a
kid.
On a snowy days, the Mochow
family would call. “Come on
down. We’ll meet you at the top
of the hill.” And they meant
down. Their house was at the
end of a curvy road leading to
Star Point Dock, which the Mochows owned, near Byrdstown.

Two pairs
of gloves or
mittens — neither water proof.
To keep my feet dry, I stuck
each foot in a bread bag. A thin
plastic bag that held a store
bought loaf of bread the day before. Then two pairs of knee
socks and whatever boots or
shoes I could stuff my feet into.
Maybe Dad’s oldest barn boots.
Mom, Dad, my brother, and I
piled into the car and Dad carefully drove to the top of Star
Point hill where Ted Mochow
met us and two other families.
Ted drove a 4-wheel drive Jeep
and only the three mothers, who
carried food for a pitch-in meal,
rode in it. We five kids and our
daddies rode on a long sled tied
to the back of the Jeep.
What a fun ride! A long homemade wooden sled made for
pulling, not for sledding. Was it
safe? Probably not. Somehow
the rope was tied with a loop
and in case of an emergency the
person riding in front of the
sled could unhitch the sled.
Dad usually sat in the front
and I hunkered right behind
him. We sat like bobsledders —
our legs straddling the person in
front of us. My brother, the oldest boy, got the last seat.
Around curves, up and down
hills for more than a mile we
rode and then we walked up a
steep hill to the Mochow’s
home.
A perfect hill for sledding. No
store bought sleds for us, but
instead old metal cookie sheets
and pieces of cardboard. The
cardboard went faster and we
could bend it to form custom
made sleds. Snow angels,
snowmen, snowballs, snow
cream. All part of our snow fun.
Just like the snow fun in my
backyard last Friday. The sixyear-olds fashioned snow angels. Kids sled double with
their mamas and daddies. The
four-year-old ate handfuls of
snow. One husband stood behind a tree and pelted his wife
with snowballs. Several snowmen were begun — none finished. The deep snow finally
packed down so that even the
youngest, lightest weight child
sled down the hill quickly.
And then they all came inside
and stripped down. Fifteen sets
of gloves and boots. Snow bibs.
Hats. And layers of clothes. I
loved that the closest-to-skin
layer the youngest kids wore
was their pajamas.
And when kids took off their
boots and wet socks, I thought
they should’ve worn bread
bags. Their feet would’ve
stayed dry. Not warm, but dry.

Germany bans farright Internet
platform, arrests 2
BERLIN (AP) — The German government on Wednesday banned a far-right Internet
platform that it accused of
spreading “racist, xenophobic,
anti-Semitic, homophobic and
anti-Islamic content,” and federal prosecutors said two people were arrested.
The ban on the Altermedia
Deutschland platform is “a
clear sign that the rule of law
doesn’t allow hate crime,” Interior Minister Thomas de
Maiziere said.
The prosecutors’ office said
that two Germans, identified
only as Jutta V. and Ralph
Thomas K. in line with German privacy rules, were arrested on suspicion of
founding a criminal organization and incitement. Three
other suspects weren’t arrested. Raids were conducted
in homes in four German states
and the northeastern Spanish
town of Lloret de Mar.
The two arrested people were
the administrators of the Altermedia website and therefore
responsible for its content,
which included banned Nazi
slogans and the denial of the
Holocaust as well as incitement of violence against foreigners, the prosecutors’ office
said.
EU slaps $150 million
cartel fine on car
parts producers
BRUSSELS (AP) — The EU
has slapped a $150 million fine
on two Japanese car part producers for fixing prices for alternators and starters for over
half a decade.
Melco will have to pay the
biggest fine of 110.9 million
euros, with Hitachi having to
hand over 26.9 million euros.
A third company, Denso, was
not fined since it disclosed the
case to the EU’s antitrust office.
EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said
the three companies met at
each other’s offices and in
restaurants to skew the prices
for consumers and limit competition among the producers.
She said that even if the collusion happened outside of the
28-nation EU, her office would
still pursue the case since EU
consumers were hurt by artificially high prices.
Danish hospital says
case of Zika virus
discovered
HELSINKI (AP) — A Danish
tourist has been infected by the
Zika virus after visiting southern and central America, Danish hospital officials say, but
authorities said Wednesday it
was not the first case in Europe.
In a statement Tuesday, the
Aarhus University Hospital
said the patient ran a fever, had
a headache and muscle aches
and was discovered as having
the virus on Tuesday.
There hospital released no
further details about the patient
but it says that there is little
risk of it spreading in Denmark
because the mosquito carrying
the virus isn’t found in the
country.
Romit Jain, from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in
Stockholm, says there have
been confirmed cases of imported Zika virus infections in
Germany and Britain.
A Zika virus case was also
confirmed in Sweden last summer, said Sara Rorbecker of
the Swedish Public Health
Agency. She said the patient —
a woman of non-fertile age —
had contracted the virus when
traveling, adding that there was
nothing “dramatic” about the
case.
Zika virus is not a notifiable
disease in the European Union,
meaning that EU countries are
not required to report cases to
the ECDC.

California Gov. Jerry Brown, from left, former U.S.
Secretary of State George Shultz and former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry listen to speakers on
a video screen before the unveiling of the “Doomsday
Clock.”
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Rising tension between Russia and the
U.S., North Korea’s recent nuclear
test and a lack of aggressive steps
to address climate change are putting the world under grave threat,
scientists behind a “Doomsday
Clock” that measures the likelihood of a global cataclysm said
Tuesday.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that the minute
hand on the metaphorical clock remained at three minutes-to-midnight. The clock reflects how
vulnerable the world is to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate
change and new technologies, with
midnight symbolizing apocalypse.
“Unless we change the way we
think, humanity remains in serious
danger,” said Lawrence Krauss,
chair of the bulletin’s Board of
Sponsors.
Krauss said the Iran nuclear
agreement and Paris climate accord
were good news. But the good
news was offset by nuclear threats,
including tension between nucleararmed states India and Pakistan,
and uncertainty that the Paris accord will lead to concrete action to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The scientists behind the bulletin
adjusted the clock from five minutes-to-midnight to three minutesto-midnight last year. They cited
climate change, modernization of
nuclear weapons and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals as “extraordinary and undeniable threats to the
continued existence of humanity.”
The clock was previously at three
minutes-to-midnight in 1984, when
the bulletin said talks between the
U.S. and Russia virtually stopped.
From a climate change perspective, if midnight on the clock represents the disappearance of
humanity, three minutes-to-midnight is overly dire, said Michael
Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at
Princeton University who is not affiliated with the bulletin.
On the other hand, Oppenheimer
said if midnight means humans
have emitted so much greenhouse
gas that dangerous climate change
is inevitable, then three minutes is
a “fair analysis.”
“I think the jury is out as to
whether the Paris agreement will
make a significant difference,” he
said.
“The key is whether countries
over the next couple of years are
able to agree on some important
details that were left out.”
Medics beat blizzard to make transplant happen
By MICHAEL BALSAMO
Associated Press
STONY BROOK, N.Y. (AP) —
Melanie Chirichella had been
waiting a year and a half for a
kidney transplant when she finally got the call from her doctors Saturday that they had found
a perfect match in South Carolina.
“It was like a miracle,” the 64year-old told The Associated
Press. “When she called and said,
‘We have a kidney for you,’ I almost fell off the bed.”
But there was a problem: A blizzard was raging up and down the
East Coast. The medical team
would have to beat the elements
and the clock to make sure the
transplant surgery happened
while the organ, taken from a
brain-dead patient on Friday
morning, was still usable.
In the end, Chirichella got her
new kidney, but it required a
combination of daring and improvisation, maybe even a little
recklessness. And more than
once, it looked as if she and the
organ might not even make it to
the operating room.
At first, emergency crews told
her there would be no way an
ambulance could navigate
through whiteout conditions to
bring Chirichella the nearly 20
miles from her home in Bohemia,
New York, to Stony Brook University Hospital on Long Island.
But paramedic Pete Amato was
undeterred. A decade ago, his
brother had received a lifesaving
kidney transplant. He knew there
wouldn’t be time to wait. He
hopped behind the wheel of a
hospital SUV, turned on the
lights and sirens and hit the road.
“This needs to happen,” Amato
remembered thinking. “I knew
the sense of urgency.”
Ideally, doctors try to transplant
a kidney within 24 hours of its removal, but that can be extended

Hospital, in Stony Brook, N.Y. Pete Amato navigated through whiteout conditions during Saturday’s blizzard to take
her nearly 20 miles to the hospital to receive a kidney transplant which she had been waiting for for about a year and
a half.
to 48 hours under the right conditions.
The kidney, plus a second one
bound for a different patient at
New York City’s Presbyterian
Hospital, had left Charleston,
South Carolina, on a Delta flight
Friday evening.
The storm had already begun to
disrupt air travel by then, but this
flight got through fine. Airlines
are informed when a transplant
organ is aboard and the flights
get special status to avoid delays.
The organs ride up front with the
pilots.
The kidneys arrived at the New
York City offices of the donation
coordinator, LiveOn NY, at 9
p.m. Friday, just around the time
the snow began to fall in New
York. Then they had to undergo
a battery of tests. Final results
weren’t available until 9 a.m.
Saturday, when the wind was
howling and the snow coming
down hard. Driving was already
treacherous.
Wilson Li, an organ preservationist at LiveOn, was given the
job of delivering both kidneys
with the help of a driver from the
medical transportation company
TransCare.
First stop was Presbyterian
Hospital, perched high on a ridge
in Manhattan overlooking the
Hudson River. The SUV carrying
the team got stuck trying to get
up the hill and had to be pushed
to the top by a city sanitation vehicle, Li said.
After the delivery, they ditched
the SUV and waited 45 minutes
for an ambulance for the 60-mile
drive out to Long Island.
“It was really hard to see,” Li
said. “There was a lot of snow. A
lot of wind.”
A lot of ice, too. They stopped
every 15 to 20 minutes to de-ice
the windshield because the
wipers couldn’t keep up. But
they kept going, delivering the
kidney to Stony Brook at 4:12
p.m.
GOP lawmakers seek to end purchase of Russian rocket engines
WASHINGTON (AP) — American tax
dollars should not subsidize the purchase
of Russian rocket engines because the
sales help enrich the friends of President
Vladimir Putin, say two senior Republican lawmakers who aim to reverse the
current practice.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz., are introducing legislation
Wednesday to repeal a provision in law
that they say allows the unlimited acquisition and use of RD-180 engines manufactured by NPO Energomash. The
manufacturer is owned primarily by the
Russian government and controlled by
several of Putin’s confidantes, according
to the lawmakers.
The engines are acquired by an American company, United Launch Alliance,
which is under contract with the Air Force
to launch military and spy satellites. The
purchases effectively reward Putin’s inner
circle even as Washington continues to
condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine’s
Crimea region and its continued support
for Syrian President Bashar Assad, they
said.
“It is simply immoral to help subsidize
Russia’s intervention in Ukraine and line
the pockets of Putin’s gang of thugs who
profit from the sale of Russian rocket engines,” McCain, chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee, said last
month on the Senate floor. The committee
is scheduled to hold a hearing Wednesday
on the use of the Russian engines.
Yury Melnik, a spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Washington, said Russia
considers congressional discussions about
the RD-180 “an internal U.S. matter” and
would not comment on “specific remarks
by different lawmakers.”
Proponents of using the RD-180s to
launch a range of national security satellites said the Russian engines fill a crucial
gap while the U.S. develops and tests a
domestically made rocket. Barring the
purchase of the Russian engines could
delay important missions during that transition period, they said, while also under-
cutting the competition among American
companies essential to ensuring costs stay
under control.
United Launch Alliance spokeswoman
Jessica Rye said the company had no
comment.
The debate over the Russian equipment
also illustrates a longstanding tension between congressional committees that
have similar yet distinct responsibilities.
McCain’s panel is an authorization committee that writes defense policy and approves annual military spending levels.
But the appropriations committees actually allot the money and their actions can
occasionally contradict what the authorizers decided.
Iranian president encourages investment by U.S. businesses
Gregorio Borgia | AP
Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani waves to journalists
at Rome’s Colosseum
ROME (AP) — Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani invited American businessmen to
join their European counterparts in investing in Iran as he wrapped up three days of
multi-billion dollar deal-making in Italy by
saying the lifting of European sanctions had
opened a new era of “win-win” collaboration.
Rouhani heads next to Paris, where his
originally scheduled visit was called off
after the Nov. 13 attacks.
Rouhani told reporters that he and Pope
Francis discussed the need for religious
leaders to speak out against extremism and
terrorism during their audience Tuesday.
But in an apparent reference to the French
satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, Rouhani
said freedom of expression “doesn’t mean
offending that which is sacred to other peo-
ple’s faith.”
Francis was asked last year about the
Charlie Hebdo attacks and suggested that a
violent reaction could be expected when
someone’s faith was insulted. He said while
violence must be condemned, anyone who
insults his mother can expect to be punched.
Rouhani concurred and said Francis had
told him the anecdote. While saying extremist violence must be condemned, “All
religions are to be respected, their books
and the millions of people who follow the
faith,” Rouhani said. Insulting them, he
said, “creates division and doesn’t help anyone.”
Rouhani’s visit was aimed at pushing Iran
into a more prominent role on the world
stage after the nuclear deal with Western
powers ended most European economic
sanctions on Tehran.
H said that Europe and the U.S. had lost
out as a result of the sanctions, but that now
European countries were in a position to not
only recover their traditional trading relationship but improve on it. Italy signed
some 14 agreements representing billions of
euros in deals in areas such as energy, industrial machinery, shipbuilding and transportation.
Such a positive relationship could exist
with the U.S. if Congress were to “end the
tensions and hostility,” Rouhani said.
“It’s possible, but the key is in Washington, not in Tehran,” he said. “At the same
today, if American investors and the heads
of the American economy, if they want to
come to Iran and invest in my country, there
are no problems from our point of view.”

York Institute on Tuesday in Baxter.
Bees get
redemption
with win
over York
MONTEREY — The routes were different,
but the results were the same.
The Class A No. 3-ranked Clay County boys
pulled away from pesky Monterey in the third
quarter to win 66-43, while the Lady Bulldogs
used a huge first-quarter run to rout the Lady
Wildcats 66-26 on Tuesday night at Burks Middle School.
In the boys game, the Wildcats (12-13, 0-5
District 7-A) were within six points early in the
third quarter after Dalton Coleman’s basket
made it 32-26. They were still within striking
distance late in the frame, down nine (39-30)
after a Zeb Randolph jumper.
However, the Bulldogs (21-1, 5-0) ended the
third quarter on an 8-2 run, then outscored the
Wildcats 19-11 in the fourth quarter for a comfortable victory.
Bulldogs head coach Rob Edwards said he’d
rather see a consistent effort from his team than
flipping on the switch to pull away.
“I don’t like flipping it on and flipping it off,”
Edwards said with a laugh. “That bothers me a
lot more than it does them. They don’t panic
much. I tend to panic more than they do. But
credit Monterey, I think they
did a good job. They were patient against the press, and
they didn’t make very many
bad decisions. They’re young,
so they’re really gonna improve.”
Tyreke Key was the only player on either team
to score in double figures, pouring in 31 to go
along with four steals as he led CCHS. Jon
Browning added nine points, and Wyatt Mabry
snared a team-best eight rebounds.
Clay County also got several extra opportunities by grabbing nine offensive rebounds.
“When you’re playing a good team like that,
you’ve gotta do everything really, really well,”
Wildcats head coach Adam West said. “And rebounding is one of the big things you’ve gotta
do, and I didn’t think we did a very good job of
that.”

HERALD-CITIZEN Assistant Sports Editor
BAXTER — After a tough week-and-a-half that
saw the Upperman Bees lose back-to-back games
against Smith County and Livingston Academy,
the Class AA No. 6-ranked Bees needed a redemption win to get back on track.
Tuesday night was it.
The last time the two teams met back on Dec.
8, York Institute edged Upperman 57-54 in Jamestown.
This time? The Bees showed
no mercy, collecting a 69-48
win over the Dragons.
“Our kids came out and played
with a lot more energy and
alertness on both ends of the
floor,” said UHS boys head coach Bobby
McWilliams. “It wasn’t just two or three of them
this time. This was the first time in several games
where we came ready to play. We had a lot more
energy and I was really impressed with our defensive intensity. Our rebounding was a lot better
this game.
“These guys came ready to play, and I’m proud
of them.”
Upperman (17-4, 5-3 8-AA) found a way to
shut down Tennessee Tech signee Colton
Blevins, who still scored a team-high 15 points
despite sitting on the bench for much of the
game.
“He’s a tough match-up,” McWilliams said.
“We tried the best we could to keep it out of his
hands as much as we could. The guys who were
guarding him were really moving their feet well
and did a good job of defending him. He’s a great
talent, but my hat’s off to our kids. We were in
control of the game defensively, and it took a
team effort.”
The score was close for the first quarter as YAI
(15-6, 5-3 8-AA) outscored Upperman 14-13 in
the first quarter, but the Bees pulled away in the
second and third quarters, outscoring the Dragons
22-6 and 16-9 to build an insurmountable 51-29
advantage after three.
UHS had a strong showing from Josh Endicott,
who led the way with 19 points and 11 rebounds,
while Austin Shrum had 11 points and Austyn
McWilliams scored 10.
“That’s what we expect out of Josh,” Coach
McWilliams said. “He did what he had to do. We
got a lot of big help from our bench. I thought all
of our kids played well. Austyn did a great job
with ball and running the team, Ben (Guffey) was
his usual self, Austin had a really good game
from a coaching standpoint.”
Jake Dronebarger was also a spark for the Bees,
collecting seven points and eight rebounds.
“Jake was all over the floor,” McWilliams said.
“That’s what we saw all summer, that’s what we
saw in the fall. He broke loose and now he has
no excuse. That’s what we’re going to expect
every night.”
The girls game proved to be similar in nature as
the Dragonettes stayed close in the first quarter
before the Lady Bees sped away with the 67-31
victory.
“It was a good win for us,” said UHS girls
coach Dana McWilliams. “Having a week off

COOKEVILLE — Cookeville had a similar
night to its mid-December district matchup
with Cumberland County High School as the
Lady Cavs fought hard but came up short
against the Lady Jets 62-56,
and the Cavs had no trouble
getting another decisive win
over the Jets 61-37.
The first game was more
exciting as the Lady Cavs
(13-9, 3-3 6-AAA) fought
hard and had a chance to win with a lead going
into the fourth quarter, but the Lady Jets (153, 6-0 6-AAA) were able to outscore them 1811 in the final period for the win.
“We played against a team that really knows
how to finish,” commented CHS head coach
Mindy Odom. “I just give them so much credit
for that, because they’ve finished a lot of
games that were close. And we’ve got to get to
where we know how to finish. We didn’t miss
shots tonight. We turned the ball over.”
“I think Cumberland County is a really good
team, and I’m proud of our girls effort. I
thought they played their butts off (Tuesday

—
The
Cookeville Cavaliers split their two
matches at Blackman Tuesday night
as they fell to
Blackman 50-22
but
redeemed
themselves in the
nightcap, beating
Lavergne 62-9.
The Cavs started off well as they
got back-to-back pinfall victories
from Hunter Harcum (106) and
Justin Rodgers (113) in the second
period of both of their matches.
However, Blackman put a damper
on that with three consecutive victories.
Jarrett Talbott (120) lost a nail-biting 7-6 decision, Jacob Cole (126)
lost a 9-2 decision, and Bradley
Houmard (132) fell in the first period.
Derrick Christensen (138) tried to
spark some momentum for the Cavs
winning a huge 14-2 major decision
victory, but it didn’t work the way
they wanted as the Cavs only won
one more match against Blackman.
Jesse Saunders (145) lost on a technical fall, and Cole Gentry (152) got
pinned in the first period before
Cookeville got its final victory. Ben
Bos (160) managed to pin his oppo-
nent in the second period, and then
the Cavs went on their skid.
Dyllan Houser (170) and Matthew
Erickson (182) suffered pinfall
losses before Blackman received
their only pinfall victory of the night
in the 195 lbs. weight class.
Jake Harrington (220) took a fall in
the second period of his matchup,
and Allen Richardson (285) closed
out the match with an extremely
close 2-1 decision loss.
The nightcap with Lavergne went
by much quicker and was a decisive
win for the Cavs.
Lavergne had several holes in their
roster giving the Cavs several forfeit
victories.
Houmard, Gentry, Houser, Erickson, and Richardson all received forfeit victories, and there was even a
double forfeit in the 195 lbs weight
class.
Other than the forfeits, Cookeville
won six matches compared to
Lavergne’s two.
Harcum, Samuel Hadlock (113),
Christensen, and Bos all managed to
pin their opponents, while Talbott
dominated a 16-1 technical fall.
In the last matchup before Richardson’s forfeit victory, Harrington went
the distance and avenged his earlier loss
with a close 2-1 decision victory, closSee CAVS, Page B2

Coleman topped Monterey with nine points,
followed closely by Tyrus West (8) and Cade
Painter (7).
West said his team — which features six sophomores, three freshmen, two juniors and one
senior — has lots of potential but is also in the
midst of a growth process.
“I like our guys,” West said. “There’s just
things that happen in the game that drive me a
little nuts — we’ll mess up on a play, mess up
on a set, or not get the right look or turn it over
in a bad situation. Those are just the growing
pains of our age.”
Both teams were even early, as Coleman’s traditional three-point play made it 5-5 with 5:56
remaining in the opening quarter. Clay County
responded, though, going on a 10-0 run and
eventually leading by as many as 16 in the second quarter.
Monterey didn’t go away, clawing back to
within six (30-24) on a Grayson Randolph
bucket before Key ended the half with a pair of
free throws late.
In the opener, the Lady Bulldogs used their
full-court pressure to build a large early lead.
After Monterey’s Allie Ragle tied the game at 33 with a 3-pointer from the right arc, Clay
County responded with a 14-0 run to end the
first quarter.
“I thought that was one of the better games
we’ve played all year,” Lady Bulldogs head
coach Joe Sims said. “We beat them at our place,
but it was an 11-point game going into the last
quarter so we had to hold the ball and ride it out
a little. But I was really pleased with how we defended (Tuesday). I thought we really got after
it on our press, and even in the halfcourt we got
out and pressured the ball and did what we
needed to do.”
The Lady Bulldogs’ Jada Kerr buried three 3pointers in the second quarter, and Ashlynn
Browning ended the frame with a layup as they
took a 38-16 lead into halftime.
Lady Wildcats head coach Todd Hess said he
could tell his team’s layoff after last week’s
snow storm had an effect coming into Tuesday
night’s game.
“We missed two games last week because of
the snow, which hurt us,” said Hess, whose team
last played a week ago. “We were playing a little
better then, and when you miss those days it just
gets you out of sync. But we are getting to the
point where we need to be stepping it up a little

bit more.”
Kerr opened the third quarter with another 3pointer, and with 2:19 left in the frame Taylor
Strong invoked the mercy rule with a triple of
her own that made it 54-18.
Kerr topped CCHS (13-7, 2-3) with 18 points,
while Strong and Kenzie Arms added 10 each.
Brittany Boone led the Lady Bulldogs’ rebounding effort with eight.
Courtney Bilbrey led the Lady Wildcats (6-17,
0-5) with 12 points, eight rebounds and three
steals. Tessie Walker also grabbed eight boards.
Though the loss was a tough one, Hess pointed
out the play of Bilbrey, as well as others who
logged heavy minutes.
“Our whole team played hard. Allie Ragle and
Taylor Hite didn’t come off the floor, and they
hadn’t been in a gym in four days (because of
the snow),” Hess said. “That’s tough, but they
hung in and played hard. And the other girls
played hard, too.”
Monterey is scheduled to travel to Watertown
on Saturday, while Clay County will travel to
Pickett County on Friday.

Upperman’s Abby Greenwood drives to the basket
past York Institute’s Lexi
Smith during the Lady Bees’
67-31 victory on Tuesday in
Baxter.
UHS:
Early rust
doesn’t slow
Lady Bees
From Page B1
(from the winter weather), it was
tough for us to get back into it, so
we started off a little bit rusty.
You could tell we hadn’t played
in a while.”
Class AA No. 4-ranked Upperman (21-2, 8-0 8-AA) led 11-5
after the first quarter, then
outscored YAI 21-9 in the second
and 22-9 in the third to put the
game well out of reach.
“We had a good second quarter
and settled down a little bit,”
McWilliams said. “We talked
about some things at halftime
and I thought we were back to
the same team we always are.”
Abby Greenwood led the Lady
Bees with 19 points, while Akira
Levy scored 18 and Gracie
Maynord added 14.
The defense was solid, keeping
the Dragonettes from really getting much offense going.
“That’s what I told them,”
McWilliams said. “When you
have those nights where you’re a
little rusty, there’s no reason why
your defense shouldn’t be giving
good effort. From start to finish,
they were good defensively.”
Abigail Sandman led YAI (412, 2-6 8-AA) with eight points,
while Lexi Smith added seven.
Upperman returns to action on
Friday as the UHS teams host
Macon County, starting with the
girls at 6 p.m.
Oosthuizen
shares lead
with
Larrazabal
in Qatar
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Louis
Oosthuizen made another fast
start to his first tournament of
the year, shooting a 7-under 65
in the first round of the Qatar
Masters to share the lead with
Pablo Larrazabal on Wednesday.
The 2010 British Open champion has won his first event of
the calendar year in four of the
last five years, and is in a good
position already in Qatar after
rolling in seven birdies in a
bogey-free round.
“I don’t know the reason why
I always play well in January
— probably because I’m well
rested after a long break and a
holiday. I should take more
eight-week breaks,” said Oosthuizen, who is bidding to become the fourth South African
winner in six events so far in
the 2016 European Tour campaign.
“I enjoy the time away from
the course and not touching my
clubs, and afterwards I’m ready
to go again and hungry to get
back playing.”
Larrazabal also made seven
birdies and no bogeys after the
Spaniard hit 17 greens in regulation at Doha Golf Club, where
36 players broke 70 despite the
windy conditions.

CHS: Bean leads Lady Cavs with 23 points
From Page B1
bother me. I’m more worried about the
next two or three that we have. Come
tournament time, we will be hopeful for
the chance to play them again.”
Sydney Bean scored 23 points off of
eight field goals — four of them 3pointers — and 3-of-4 from the free
throw line.
Bean was helped out by Courtney
Savage, with 12 points in the paint and
13 overall, and Toiya Gwynn who
added 10.
And one would wonder if the snow
days affected the Lady Cavs, because
they started slow, allowing the Lady
Jets to build an early 10-point lead in
the first quarter.
“We played better than I was expecting us to play,” commented Odom. “All
the teams have been off, but we haven’t
had everyone at practice on any of the
days. I felt like keeping our legs underneath us and being able to finish would
be tough, but it was nothing like the
game at (Cookeville) where it was 85
degrees. I didn’t think we got super
tired tonight. I thought we did a much
better job of that.”
The Lady Cavs started to show they
were in it as Bean scored a big 3pointer with 1:10 left in the first quarter
and a layup with one second left in the
first to cut the Lady Jets lead to five
points at 20-15.
Bean kept the ball rolling for the Lady
Cavs as she hit another big 3-pointer
with 3:35 left in the first half to give the
Lady Cavs their first lead at 23-22.
Baskets were traded for a few minutes
and the score was tied at 29 going into
the final moments of the half, but Cumberland County’s Alli Hyder knocked
down a jumper with 16 seconds left in
the half to put the Lady Jets up 31-29
at halftime.
The advantage traded back and forth,
but the Lady Cavs were able to regain
the lead by the end of the third quarter
at 45-44.
The Lady Cavs kept their lead for a
large portion of the fourth quarter but
were not able to hold on for the remainder as Cumberland County’s Courtney
Smith made two free throws with 3:20
left in the game to regain the lead for
the Lady Jets.
The Lady Jets held off the Lady Cavs
for the remainder of the game and
made their free throws to seal the victory.
“First of all, hats off to coach Odom
and coach Brock,” commented Cumberland County head coach Radhika
Miller. “They do a great job at
Cookeville High School. They always
have their teams ready to go, and they
came out with a lot of hustle, grit, and
pure strength (Tuesday night) against
us. I have got to commend my team on
their effort early and finding a way to
win late in the game.”
On the other hand, the Cookeville
boys (18-5, 5-1 6-AAA) showed no
signs of a snow-day-slump as they
dominated the Jets (8-12, 3-3 6-AAA)
right out of the gate.
“Well, I know they enjoyed having
some time off.” CHS head coach Kevin
Bray jokingly admitted. “At the same
time, our last two practices were better
than they were last week, and your
going to play like you practice. I’ve got
to give it to our guys the last two days
in practice.”
Trey Bundrant got the scoring started
off hot with a 3-pointer right off the
bat.
After a few baskets the score was 7-6
in favor of Cookeville before the Cavs
scored 12 straight points to close out
the first quarter 19-6. The early lead
was comprised of 3-pointers from not
just Bundrant but Jacob Wilberscheid,
Noah Hilliker, and two in a row from
Ayden Gist — all in the first quarter.
From there, the Cavs simply continued to build their lead as they outscored
the Jets 32-17 in the first half, 17-15 in
the third quarter, and 12-5 in the final
quarter to close out the win.
And the win was due in large part to
Bryric Savage’s stellar performance.
Savage posted a huge double-double
with 24 points and 13 rebounds. He
also managed to come away with a
very balanced three assists, three steals,
and three blocks,
Following Savage were Hilliker with
14 points and Gist with 13.
“It feels really good,” said Bray. “We
came out and made some shots early,
made some threes, and got a lead early.
We stayed consistent pretty much for
32 minutes. It was a good solid game
all the ay around for us.”
Up next, the Cookeville travels to
Warren County on Friday for another
district matchup.

Alabama comes
back late to beat
Tennessee
By TYLER WALDREP
Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama trailed
most of the second half and appeared well on its
way to its fourth consecutive loss.
But Retin Obasohan sparked a 16-2 run in the
last four minutes to help the Crimson Tide beat
Tennessee 63-57 on Tuesday night, snapping a
three-game losing streak.
Obasohan finished with 22 points, and Shannon Hale scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half for Alabama (11-8, 2-5 Southeastern
Conference).
“On coming back, yeah, it just speaks to the
character of our team,” Obasohan said.
Kevin Punter scored four straight points and
the Volunteers had a 53-47 lead with 4:18 to
play. Obasohan scored six points during a 10-0
stretch and Hale hit two free throws to give Alabama a 57-55 lead with 1:24 left.
Derek Reese answered with a tip-in shot to tie
it with 1:12 to go. Alabama’s Arthur Edwards
made a 3-pointer and after a Tennessee miss,
Obasohan grabbed the rebound and converted a
3-point play on the other end to seal it.
Alabama coach Avery Johnson said he told Edwards to be confident and shoot the ball in the
final minutes of the game.
“He was open two times and didn’t take the
shot,” Johnson said. “I said would you please
just shoot the ball. Fortunately, he shot the next
one, a big 3 for us, and he made it.”
Riley Norris added six points and grabbed a
game-high 13 rebounds for the Crimson Tide.
Punter made three 3-pointers and finished with
15 points to lead the Volunteers (10-10, 3-5).
Robert Hubbs III added 13 points, and Armani
Moore chipped in seven points and 11 rebounds.
It was only the third game Punter had been held
to fewer than 16 points.
“Punter’s a terrific scorer so we knew we had
to give him a lot of attention,” Johnson said.
Alabama had a slight rebounding edge, 42-38,
yet grabbed eight of the last nine rebounds during the final four minutes of the game to help
avoid its sixth loss in its last seven games.
“It’s been a rough couple of days,” Johnson
said. “We had a really hard practice yesterday,
and it carried over into today’s game.”
The Crimson Tide rallied from eight points
down, using a 7-0 spurt to pull to 25-24 at halftime. Hale made a layup and Obasohan scored
five points during the stretch.
The Volunteers answered with a 15-6 surge,
capped by Admiral Schofield’s back-to-back 3pointers to open the second half and stretch the
lead to 40-30.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia
(AP) — James Neal was not about to
downplay the importance of
Nashville’s three-game winning
streak.
“We’re fighting to play for a Stanley
Cup here. And right now with how
tight the West is, you have to do anything you can to grab points to get into
the playoffs,” he said. “That’s where
our team is at.”
Neal scored late in the third period
Tuesday night to give the Predators a
2-1 victory over the Vancouver
Canucks that left Nashville one point
behind Minnesota and Colorado for a
wild-card spot.
Pekka Rinne stopped 28 shots and
Craig Smith had the other goal for
Nashville, which improved to 3-0 on
a four-game Western Conference road
swing. The trip has included 4-1 wins
at both Winnipeg and Edmonton, and
will finish Wednesday in Calgary.
“I think the guys know exactly
where we are at when the game is on
the line in the third period,” Predators
coach Peter Laviolette said. “Our
third period was excellent the first two
games of this trip and it was excellent
tonight.”
Brandon Sutter scored for the
Canucks, who played their last game
before the All-Star break. Vancouver
just returned from a 10-day road trip
that resulted in a 3-2-1 record.
Ryan Miller made 17 saves in his
first home start since Dec. 9 for Vancouver.
The Predators, sixth in the Central
Division, broke through with 4:44 left
on a bad Canucks line change. Neal
took a pass from defenseman Barrett
Jackman and fired the puck from the
faceoff dot, beating Miller glove side
for the go-ahead goal.
“We have talked about (line
changes),” Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said. “It’s something that we
need to be better at. Those are tough
points to lose, on something you
could have avoided.”
Vancouver had a power-play chance
at the end of the game but couldn’t
force overtime.
Nashville jumped out to a 1-0 lead
less than 2 minutes in when Mike
Fisher set up Smith, who lifted the
puck over Miller’s shoulder after easily getting around Canucks defenseman Ben Hutton.
Sutter, thrust into the center position
on the top line due to Henrik Sedin’s
injury, found immediate chemistry
with Daniel Sedin. Sutter took a beautiful return pass from Daniel Sedin
and one-timed it past Rinne to tie the
score at 11:39.
It was Sutter’s first game since sustaining a sports hernia on Nov. 10.
“It felt good (but) it takes a little
time,” Sutter said. “The body felt
good. It’s a nice relief to get that over
with.”

Nashville Predators’ Miikka Salomaki (20), of Finland, moves the
puck past Vancouver Canucks’ Adam Cracknell (24) during the first
period in Vancouver, British Columbia, Tuesday.
Sutter had a great chance on a shorthanded breakaway minutes later, but
missed the open net with Rinne out of
position.
“I don’t know what happened,” Sutter said. “I missed the net by 2 feet.
It’s unfortunate, but that’s part of the
game.”
The Predators shot sparingly in the
first and second periods. Even with
two power plays, including a tripping
call on Matt Bartkowski midway
through the second, Nashville had
only 11 shots going into the third
compared to Vancouver’s 24.
However, Rinne was tested more
often, especially during a Canucks
power play with 5 minutes left in the
second when he made saves on Daniel
Sedin and Sven Baertschi to keep the
score tied.
Nashville came out with increased
intensity in the third and began firing
more shots at Miller.
“It was a good third period by our
guys,” Laviolette said. “We were kind
of sleeping for a little bit, but third period we were really good.”
Smith, Covington lead sixers to seventh win of season
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
Ish Smith had 20 points and
nine assists and Robert Covington scored 19 points to
lead the Philadelphia 76ers to
a 113-103 win over the
Phoenix Suns on Tuesday
night.
Once 1-30 on Dec. 23 and
challenging
for
the
worst record
in NBA history,
the
Sixers have
since gone
6-9
and Roundup
might not
even end up
with the worst record in the
league.
Nik Stauskas scored 15
points and Nerlens Noel had
14 for the Sixers.
Archie Goodwin nearly
pulled off an improbable win
in the fourth with some late
clutch shots that rallied the
Suns. Goodwin led the Suns
with 26 points. Alex Len had
16 points and 12 rebounds.
RAPTORS 106,
WIZARDS 89
TORONTO (AP) — AllStar starter Kyle Lowry put
up 29 points before leaving
with an injury in the final
minutes and Toronto downed
Washington for its ninth
straight win, matching a franchise-best mark.
Lowry left and went up the
tunnel toward the Raptors
locker room with what appeared to be an injured hand
with just under four minutes
to go in the fourth quarter. He
briefly returned before trainers escorted him back under
the stands.
Jonas Valanciunas had 13
points and 12 rebounds for
the Raptors while DeMar
DeRozan had 17 points and
Terrence Ross added 15
points off the bench.
THUNDER 128,
KNICKS 122, OT
NEW YORK (AP) — Kevin
Durant scored a season-high
44 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, and Oklahoma City
beat New York in overtime.
Durant hit the tying jumper
with 16.2 seconds left in regulation, then scored seven
points in overtime to surpass
the 43 points he had against
Orlando on Oct. 30, a game
that went to two overtimes.
One was all the Thunder
needed this time, as Durant
hit four straight free throws in
the final half-minute to finish
16 for 18 from the line.
Russell Westbrook finished
with 30 points, 10 assists and
eight rebounds for the Thunder, who bounced back from
a loss to Brooklyn on Sunday
to win for the eighth time in
nine games.
CLIPPERS 91,
PACERS 89
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Chris Paul scored 26 points
and J.J. Redick added 19 as
Los Angeles held off a late Indiana comeback.
The Clippers played without
All-Star forward Blake Griffin, who was sent home after
breaking his shooting hand in
a scuffle with equipment
manager Matias Testi.
Indiana lost its third straight
despite having Paul George
finish with 31 points and 11
rebounds. Myles Turner had
16 points.
Los Angeles turned the
game with a 13-0 run that
gave the Clippers an 81-72
lead midway through the
fourth quarter. The Pacers
were held scoreless for nearly
eight minutes.
Indiana got back into the
game with a 14-7 run, closed
to 91-89 on George’s 3pointer with 28 seconds left
and had a chance to tie or win
after forcing a turnover with
2.1 seconds to go. But the
Pacers didn’t get the shot off.
HEAT 102, NETS 98
NEW YORK (AP) —
Dwyane Wade and Chris
Bosh each scored 27 points,
leading Miami over Brooklyn.
Wade also had eight assists
and four rebounds. Justise
Winslow added 13 points and
seven rebounds for the Heat.
Andrea Bargnani had 20
points and Joe Johnson had
15 for the Nets.
The Heat led 99-96 when
Wayne Ellington missed a 3point shot that would’ve tied it.
Bosh then hit one of two foul
shots and the Heat held on.
BUCKS 107, MAGIC 100
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo dunked
eight times and scored 25
points as Milwaukee, with
coach Jason Kidd back on the
bench, sent Orlando to its seventh straight loss.
Kidd missed 17 games after
having surgery on his right
hip Dec. 21. In his return, he
spent a lot of time walking
along the sideline as Milwaukee rallied from a 16-point
deficit.
Jerryd Bayless had a pair of
3-pointers in the final 2:20,
including a baseline shot with
13 seconds to go that put Milwaukee ahead 103-99. Khris
Middleton, who had 25
points, made a pair of free
throws with 7 seconds left for
a 105-100 lead.
TRAIL BLAZERS 112,
KINGS 97
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —
C.J. McCollum scored 18
points, Damian Lillard had 15
points and 13 assists, and
Portland shut down red-hot
DeMarcus Cousins in the Trail
Blazers’ win over the Kings.
Portland had seven players
score in double figures. Gerald Henderson scored 15
points, while Mason Plumlee
had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Blazers.
Cousins, who came into
Tuesday off 56- and 48-point
performances in his past two
games, led the Kings with 17
points, but shot only 4 of 21.
Cousins also struggled at the
free throw line, going 9 of 17.
MAVERICKS 92,
LAKERS 90
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Dirk Nowitzki hit the
tiebreaking jumper with 2.1
seconds to play, and the Mavericks hung on to beat the
Lakers.
Nowitzki scored eight of his
13 points in the fourth quarter
as the Mavericks snapped a
two-game skid with their 10th
consecutive victory over Los
Angeles.
Julius Randle missed a long
jumper at the buzzer for the
Lakers, who have lost seven
straight.
Nowitzki nailed his goahead shot while falling toward the Lakers’ bench, where
he got a pat on the back from
Kobe Bryant, who sat out to
rest his sore right shoulder.
