COOKEVILLE — Before he
became a lawyer, Ben Fann was
an educator — and, if you ask his
family, friends or former colleagues from the 13th Judicial
District Attorney General’s office, they probably would say he
never really stopped teaching.
Even though he passed away
earlier this month, the knowledge
he shared throughout his life is
still being passed on to others
today.
“I learned how to be a lawyer
and how to be a prosecutor from
Ben, and now I’m sharing some
of the same knowledge I got
from him with younger assistant
DAs,” said Tony Craighead, a
former prosecutor here who now
serves as a supervisor to six assistant district attorneys in the 7th
Judicial District in East Tennessee.
Those close to Fann also say he
lived a full life and that he enjoyed sharing the fullness of his
life with others.
In 2008, he earned the distinction of being recognized by the
governor as the oldest practicing
assistant DA in the state.
In fact, when former DA Bill
Gibson was elected in the 1990s,
Fann came out of retirement to
PUTNAM COUNTY — At
the end of this month when
property taxes are due, businesses have their share of taxes
to pay as well.
In addition to taxes on the actual building and property
housing businesses, business
owners are responsible for
something called personal
property taxes.
Putnam Property Assessor
Steve Pierce annually mails
each business in the county a
form called a “tangible personal property schedule for reporting
industrial
and
commercial property,” and
business owners are responsible for reporting and paying
tax on any equipment used in
operating their businesses.
As of Thursday, only 366 of
the 3,406 forms Pierce mailed
to businesses in Putnam
County had been returned to
his office.
(931)528-0474
The forms are due annually
on March 1, but since that date
this year falls on Election Day,
when that office is closed, they
can be hand delivered to the
property assessor’s office by
Wednesday, March 2.
“People don’t realize that it’s
something by state law that
they’re supposed to pay,”
Pierce told the Herald-Citizen.
“Some get it confused with
sales tax.”
Pierce’s office mails forms to
businesses with the information they provided last year,
and he mails forms to new
businesses based on information he receives from Putnam
County Clerk Wayne Nabors’s
office.
Business owners are responsible for self reporting the
equipment they use to operate
their businesses, and audits are
conducted at random.
“The state requires us to do
audits,” Pierce explained.
“Like most counties our size,

Customers pull in to The Village Kitchen on 10th Street Thursday morning, a day after
state agents came in and seized the property for failure to pay taxes.
Village Kitchen back open
By LAURA MILITANA
COOKEVILLE — The Village Kitchen on 10th
Street looks different today.
There are cars in the parking lot, no note in the
window stating that the property has been seized
and the open sign is lit up.
“We re-opened at 11:30 a.m. Thursday,” Walter
Pepper, owner, said Thursday afternoon. “We managed to work with the state and get everything
worked out to re-open.”
Yesterday, the Herald-Citizen reported that the
state seized the property for nonpayment of Ten-
nessee state taxes by virtue of a levy issued by the
department of revenue.
Pepper stated that he owed $8,000 in taxes.
“We worked it out that I was able to pay it in installments,” Pepper said.
“I paid about $4,500 Wednesday and the rest
Thursday.”
He said the state was really good to work with and
hopes it won’t happen again.
“The winter weather really hurt us where we
weren’t able to open for a few days,” he said.
“Then I couldn’t get the resources together to pay
the taxes in time. They worked with me as long as
they could, but hopefully this won’t happen again.”

Jury finds man guilty of aggravated assault, burglary
By TRACEY HACKETT
PUTNAM COUNTY — A Putnam
County man was found guilty of burglary
and aggravated assault in a jury trial here
this week.
Michael K. Schipp was charged with
those offenses in May 2015 after reportedly stabbing a Tennessee Tech University
student who encountered Schipp attempting to break into his car.
A sentencing hearing in the case is set for
March 29, and since these aren’t the first
felony charges on Schipp’s criminal
record, his sentencing at that hearing will
reflect his classification as a persistent offender.
“He has five prior felony convictions,”
District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway said.
While one of those prior convictions is
for the sale of illegal drugs, one is for aggravated burglary and three are for felony
thefts — making most of those prior convictions very similar to the offenses for
which he was found guilty this week.
“Michael Schipp is a repeat felony offender who has shown no hesitation to
prey on members of our community by
stealing, dealing in drugs and using violence,” Dunaway said.
“The trial and conviction of Mr. Schipp
is consistent with the ongoing goal of the
District Attorney’s Office and local law
enforcement agencies to maintain a focused and determined effort to prosecute
repeat offenders,” he continued.
Schipp’s arrest came after an incident
that happened near the TTU campus and
after the victim arrived at Cookeville Regional Medical Center and reported that
he had been stabbed in the side.
The victim was standing outside a building at the corner of 7th Street and
Peachtree, near the TTU campus, in the
predawn morning hours when he heard
glass breaking.
Fearing it was someone breaking the
glass of his vehicle, he went to the location where he had parked his 2004 Volkswagen Jetta and discovered a man, later
identified as Schipp, inside of it.
According to Schipp’s arrest warrant for
the incident, “The student found this defendant had broken the left front passenger door window and was leaning in the

other professions, TLAP provides confidential services for legal professionals
with addiction, stress or emotional health
issues.
The mission of the program “contributes
to the protection of the public and the improvement of the integrity and reputation
of the legal profession,” according to the
TLAP website.
Being able to offer such assistance is
meant to prevent future ethical violations,
which likewise reduces the need for disciplinary actions.
Authorities say they certainly hope such
is the case in Hruska’s situation.
“The charge to which he pleaded is a
class A misdemeanor,” Dunaway said.
By definition of the law, it’s a minor infraction.
And as long as Hruska fulfills the terms
of his probation and TLAP monitoring,
he’s not in danger of losing his law license
because of the infraction.
In fact, Dunaway said, Hruska will continue to maintain his law practice, located
at 320 E. Broad St.
The charge against Hruska came in July
2015, following an investigation by the
Cookeville Police Department.
According to police department reports,
investigators were alerted to the situation
based on incriminating Facebook conversations between the attorney and a local
woman.
“The messages contained language that
indicated they were attempting to find a
location ... so they could engage in the sex
act,” said Lt. Bobby Anderson.
That act allegedly happened on July 6 in
Hruska’s law office.
And while Hruska initially maintained
that the act of prostitution had not take
place, he later reportedly admitted that he
and the woman had “an understanding”
about the transaction of sex for money.
BEN: Long-time prosecutor Ben Fann remembered
From Page 1
return to a career as a prosecutor.
It was a post that was supposed
to last for a year but instead
lasted for almost 20.
“I thought the world of Ben. He
became like family to me,” said
Gibson, who was a Cookeville
police officer when he first met
the long-time prosecutor.
“As a police officer, you felt
good when Ben got your case. He
was diligent and took time with
each one. He had grit and was a
tough attorney, but he was also
compassionate and loved people,” Gibson continued.
After he was elected as DA,
Gibson said Fann’s experience as
a prosecutor was invaluable to
him and his entire staff.
“He was constantly amazing us
with his trial skills. The man wasn’t afraid of anything,” he said.
Criminal Court Judge David
Patterson, who was a prosecutor
at the time, agreed.
“At 70 years old, Ben Fann of-
fered his services to a newlyelected district attorney. He
began mentoring an office full of
inexperienced prosecutors. We
were blessed with his contagious
enthusiasm for practicing the
law.
“Through his example, we saw
how we should practice with
honesty and integrity,” he said.
Criminal Court Judge Gary
McKenzie also began his career
as a prosecutor under the tutelage
of Fann.
“As a young prosecutor over 16
years ago, I tried my first jury
trial, and beside me was Ben
Fann. I was very lucky to have
him as a mentor as I started my
career in law,” he said.
“I would be willing to bet that
most lawyers in this area have
been influenced by Ben, either
directly or indirectly. In our family tree of attorneys in the Upper
Cumberland, most roots can be
traced back to Ben Fann. He was
a wonderful man, and I was
blessed to have known him,”
Judge McKenzie said.
Craighead and others described
him as a man of both stories and
actions.
“He taught me early on not to
make things more complicated
than they have to be,” he said.
During one trial in particular,
Craighead said he had two documents with the signature of a witness on each, but when the
witness took the stand, the witness testified to signing only one.
Craighead was bewildered.
“I asked Ben what I should do,
and his answer was simple. He
told me to hand the witness the
document and just ask him to describe what was in his hand,” he
said.
After growing up in the cotton
mill town of Erwin, North Carolina, serving in World War II,
becoming an educator in Illinois
and Colorado and then earning
his law degree and setting out on
that long-time career, Fann didn’t
take himself or life too seriously,
say those who knew him.
“When he thought I was spending too much time in the office or
thinking too deeply about a case,
he would say, ‘Come on, come
with me for a minute,’” Gibson
said.
They would get in Fann’s car,
drive around for a bit and ultimately would end up at a golf
course.
“I’ve played golf about a halfdozen times in my life, and they
were all with Ben Fann,” Gibson
continued with a chuckle.
“He loved golf, but I didn’t
know anything about it. When I
told him that, he said, ‘It’s easy.
You just put that ball down there
on the tee and hit it.’ That was
very reflective of his personality,” he said.
The same characteristics described by his colleagues are mirrored by the description of him
offered by his family, illustrating
that he was a man with a genuine
personality, who lived a life true
to his word.
His family describes him as
generous with his time and
knowledge and as a man who had
both a humorous and philosophical approach to life.
“We will all miss the stories he
told again and again, in the same
exacting detail with every
telling,” his family said in a statement to the Herald-Citizen.
“We will miss his perspective,
his gentle humor and infectious
laugh. We will miss the surprising depth and scope of his
knowledge.
“We will miss the warmth he
extended to everyone he knew.
“We will miss Ben dearly. But
we will treasure his memory forever,” the family’s statement continues.
The community he impacted so
deeply will have an opportunity
to remember Fann in a service at
3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 21, in the
chapel of Presley Funeral Home.

vehicle.”
Although he reports that he did not know
Schipp, the victim intervened to try to prevent the burglary, and that’s when an altercation between the two ensued that
resulted in the victim being stabbed.
That stabbing reportedly punctured the
victim’s left lung, and the victim was later
transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt
University Medical Center for treatment,
although his injuries were described as not
life-threatening.
Both the victim and a witness provided
descriptions that led the Cookeville Police
Department to develop Schipp as a suspect and subsequently arrest him for the
crime.

LOCAL/STATE/NATION
State
in Brief
House OK's making it
harder to change
historical markers
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Tennessee House has passed a
bill that would make it more
difficult to remove statutes or
rename streets dedicated to
historical figures like Confederate leaders.
The chamber voted 71-23 on
Thursday to approve the measure dubbed the “Tennessee
Heritage Protection Act.”
Calls to remove Confederate
imagery from public places
multiplied rapidly across the
South after a white man espousing racist views killed
nine black churchgoers last
June in Charleston, South Carolina.
Under current state law it
takes a majority vote of the 29member Tennessee Historical
Commission to allow the removal or renaming of memorials by the state or local
governments. The bill sponsored by Republican Rep.
Steve McDaniel of Parkers
Crossroads would increase that
threshold to require two-thirds
of the commission to allow for
a change.
Police investigating
after body found in
forest
GREENEVILLE (AP) —
Local and state law enforcement officials are investigating
after a body was discovered in
the Cherokee National Forest.
Media report the body was
found by a Greene County
sheriff’s deputy on Wednesday
afternoon in a secluded area
near the North Carolina border.
Sheriff Pat Hankins says an
investigation is ongoing and
the body was sent to the
William L. Jenkins Forensic
Center at East Tennessee State
University for an autopsy. He
did not release any details
about the body.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation
spokesman
Josh
DeVine says the agency is assisting the sheriff’s department
in gathering information.
Further details weren’t immediately available.
Mother, ex-boyfriend
indicted in 2015
death of infant
NASHVILLE (AP) — A
mother and her former
boyfriend have been indicted
in the death of a one-year-old
boy last year.
News outlets report that 26year-old Miranda Alexis Hunt
and 27-year-old Wayne D.
Jones were both arrested Tuesday on numerous charges, including first-degree murder
and aggravated assault in connection with the January 2015
death of Hayden Messiah Eldridge.
Metro Nashville police
spokesman Don Aaron announced Wednesday that Hayden Eldridge was unresponsive
when he arrived at a hospital
on Jan. 21, 2015.
Authorities say Jones told officers the child had an allergic
reaction to shrimp, but doctors
discovered brain injury and
retinal hemorrhaging. A medical examiner would later determine the infant’s death was
caused by blunt force trauma.
It is unclear whether either
Hunt or Jones has an attorney.
U.S. warplanes strike IS training camp in Libya
WASHINGTON (AP) — American warplanes struck an Islamic State training
camp in Libya near the Tunisian border
Friday, and a Tunisian described as a key
extremist operative probably was killed,
the Pentagon announced. In Libya, local
officials estimated that more than 40 people were killed with more wounded, some
critically.
In a written statement, Pentagon press
secretary Peter Cook said the training
camp was near the Libyan town of
Sabratha and that the targeted extremist
was Noureddine Chouchane, a Tunisian
national whom Cook called “an ISIL sen-
ior facilitator in Libya associated with the
training camp.”
Another U.S. official said up to 60 militants were present at the camp at the time
of the strike by U.S. Air Force F-15E
strike aircraft based in Europe.
Cook said Tunisian officials in May 2015
had named Chouchane as a suspect in a
March 18, 2015 attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis.
“He facilitated the movement of potential ISIL-affiliated foreign fighters from
Tunisia to Libya and onward to other
countries,” Cook said.
“Destruction of the camp and
Chouchane’s removal will eliminate an
experienced facilitator and is expected to
have an immediate impact on ISIL’s ability to facilitate its activities in Libya, including recruiting new ISIL members,
establishing bases in Libya, and potentially planning external attacks on U.S. interests in the region,” Cook added.
Another official said the U.S. believes
that Chouchane was killed. The official,
who spoke on condition of anonymity to
describe details of the sensitive operation,
said it did not herald the start of a sustained U.S. air campaign in Libya but
rather was an example of opportunistic
strikes targeting key Islamic State operatives. A witness in the city said he heard
two explosions at 3:30 a.m. coming from
the nearby village of Qasr Talel. He said
the house that was targeted belongs to
Abdel-Hakim al-Mashawat, known locally as an Islamic State militant, he said.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his safety.
The official Facebook page of the
Sabratha local city council also put the
death toll at more than 40 with more
wounded, some critically. “There are torn
body parts buried under the rubble,” it said
in a posting.

Put puppywhistle politics
on a leash
I
n politics, the “dog whistle”
is coded language designed
to delight a targeted subgroup
and pass over the heads of everyone else. Other terms, such as
“establishment,” “Washington
insider” and “free trade,” are not
quite full-grown dog whistles.
Let’s call them puppy whistles.
These are expressions whose
meanings remain vague. For the
puppy whistle, the vaguer the
better.
Both Donald Trump
and Bernie
Sanders rail
against “the
establishment.” This
is a way of
saying that
they are not
favored by
the tradiFroma
tional leaders
Harrop
of their parties — the
leaders said to have let us down.
“Establishment” is hard to define, and when you do, it’s sometimes carries positive feelings.
Who among us wouldn’t be impressed by a plumber’s ad reading, “The Wrench Brothers,
Established in 1971”?
On the left, “the establishment”
is itself a highly established
term. It gained steam in the
1960s as a designation for the
adults who messed things up for
us kids. Sanders uses it as pure
pejorative.
When Planned Parenthood and
the Human Rights Fund endorsed Hillary Clinton, Sanders
responded, “Hillary Clinton has
been around there for a very,
very long time, and some of
these groups are, in fact, part of
the establishment.”
Clinton’s unfortunate comeback
was that no one would be less
establishment than the first
woman president.
Harvard political scientist
Danielle Allen then wrote a
piece in The Washington Post titled, “Sorry, Hillary: You are the
establishment.” She never explains why, uh, Hillary should be
sorry for that — or more basically, why being part of the establishment is necessarily bad.
The National Audubon Society
has been around for 111 years. Is
that any reason to hold it in low
regard?
Allen offers this line: “Bernie
Sanders is right that Clinton’s
long list of endorsements represents her muscle within the
Democratic Party.” That may be
so, but if President Obama had
that kind of muscle, we’d probably now have a government-run
public option on the federal
health insurance marketplace.
“Washington insider” is a
puppy whistle favored by populists across the spectrum. It’s
No. 2 on the right’s list of condemnations (after liberal).
The coded meaning is that
long-time Washington politicians
become servants of lobbyists. It
really shouldn’t matter how long
a politician has worked in Washington but rather what the politician has done in Washington.
“Free trade” has long held negative meaning for populists in
both parties. The left continues
to use NAFTA — the North
American Free Trade Agreement
— as almost a curse word, as the
cause of devastating losses
among our manufacturing workers. But how many sweatshirts in
your closet were made in Mexico? Go into Home Depot and
see where the hammers, screws
and lighting fixtures come from.
On the Republican side, Trump
rails against Chinese imports. At
least he knows where most of
those jobs have gone.
The consensus among economists is that NAFTA provided
modest benefits for the U.S., as
well as for Mexico and Canada.
Some American jobs did move to
Mexico, but many would have
otherwise gone to Asia. The remedy for victims of globalization
is not to stop the unstoppable but
to strengthen their social safety
net.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership
is the new trade boogeyman. Its
purpose is to strengthen America’s hand in dealing with China,
but that gets lost in the political
discourse.
Trade agreements tend to be a
mixed bag in terms of who benefits. They are not inherently evil.
Likewise, so-called political establishments and Washington insiders should be judged by what
they do, rather than what they
are. But gray is an unpopular
color in campaign season.

What would Scalia do?
A
s Republican presidential candidates invoke Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia’s legacy,
all insisting that his suddenly vacant
seat shouldn’t be filled until a new
president is in place, it is helpful to
ask: What would Scalia do?
First, Scalia would read the law and,
without much chin-stroking, recommend the obvious intent of Article II,
Section 2 of the Constitution, which
reads: “[The president] shall nominate,
and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ...
judges of the Supreme Court.”
See? That wasn’t complicated. And
the Senate can always reject a nominee. Yet Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made it clear that no Supreme
Court nominations will get to the floor.
Somewhat less rigid, Sen. Chuck
Grassley, chair of the Judiciary Committee, has said he’ll wait to see who
the nominee is before deciding
whether to convene a hearing.
All Republican candidates have expressed agreement with McConnell,
with Donald Trump being the most
vocal and least nuanced: “Delay, delay,
delay,” he said inimitably at Saturday’s
debate in South Carolina, just hours
after the nation learned of Scalia’s
death.
As unseemly as such political proclamations are so soon after the justice’s
death, Scalia likely would have found
the shenanigans childishly amusing.
Unerringly faithful to the rule of law
— and deferential to the executive and
legislative branches — he would have
understood the politics but not the
point.
The law is clear.
But politics are something else, and
Republicans have decided that, at least
on this matter, the people should have
a voice. Inarguably, with three justices
likely to retire during the next presidency and Scalia’s seat now empty, the
stakes couldn’t be higher.
But, if you’ll pardon this intrusion
of logic, haven’t
the people already
had a voice?
Didn’t a majority
of the people reelect President
Obama, and doesn’t he have nearly
a year left to serve
out his term?
Kathleen
Lame duck
Parker
doesn’t mean dead
duck — and this
president’s still quacking.
Now, if you don’t really like democracy, we can talk. Originalists well
know that the Founding Fathers had no
interest in everybody having a voice.
But these same originalists would
have to concede that it’s the president’s job to nominate a replacement
for an empty Supreme Court seat and
the Senate’s job to advise and consent
— or dissent, as the case may be.
Yet to Republicans, the idea of
Obama fulfilling his constitutional responsibilities falls somewhere between
apocalyptic and absurd. Sort of like
when people used to walk up to Scalia
and ask, When did you first become an
originalist? — prompting the justice
subsequently to remark: “As though
it’s some weird affliction, you know,
‘When did you start eating human
flesh?’”
Love or hate Scalia, the Supreme
Court just became a far, far duller
place.
So why would the GOP, professedly
stewards of original intent, seek to
thwart the Constitution’s clear purposes? Again, not complicated.
First, because several cases that Republicans hoped would result in their
favor hang in the balance. With a fourfour vote, the lower courts’ rulings
stand.
Second, payback.
Obama and Senate GOP’s supreme courtship
E
ven before Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell released his before-the-corpse-is-cold statement
suggesting that the next president should
pick Justice Antonin Scalia’s successor, it
was clear the Republican Senate is not
going to confirm whomever President
Obama picks. There’s too much at stake. A
new Democratic justice would shift the
balance of power on the big bench. Facing
the same dynamics, Senate Democrats
would not have approved a nominee put
forward by George W. Bush in his last
year.
Indeed, without such stakes, Sen. Barack
Obama not only voted against Bush’s chief
justice nominee, John Roberts, but also
supported a filibuster — that is, he tried to
block an up-or-down Senate vote —
against now Justice Samuel Alito, who
nonetheless was confirmed with bipartisan
support. Taking on McConnell in the
Washington Post, Minority Leader Harry
Reid wrote that Democrats in the Senate
“always guaranteed Supreme Court nominees a fair hearing and a floor vote.” Well,
not really. Reid also supported the Alito
filibuster. Likewise then-New York Sens.
Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer.
Supreme Court justices are supposed to
be above partisan politics, but first every one
of them has to survive
a walk over the hot
coals of naked partisan
angling. The higher the
stakes, the hotter the
fire.
McConnell’s unsolicited advice notwithstanding, Obama will
Debra J.
nominate a replacement. He is, after all,
Saunders
president. But his nominee will face what Northern Illinois University political science professor P.S.
Ruckman Jr. called “a textbook scenario
for failure.”
Ruckman crunched the numbers for
Supreme Court nominations and the factors that tumble nominees. If the president
is in the fourth year of a term, a nominee is
10 times more likely to fail. If the opposing party controls the Senate, a candidate
is six times more likely to fail. If the vacancy is critical to the court’s balance of
power, a nominee is 12 times more likely
to fail. An Obama nominee will face all
three hurdles. Quoth Ruckman: “If Obama
were to make a nomination and it were to
be confirmed, it would be freakishly amazing, the most amazing nomination in history.”
At a news conference Tuesday, Obama
voiced his usual complaint about the “obstructionist” Senate. This is why Republicans should hesitate before engaging in
feckless exercises like Sen. Ted Cruz’s
failed bid to “defund Obamacare.” The
more you go to that well, the less water
there is when you need it. Obama didn’t
look disinterested when he tried to explain
how his move to filibuster Justice Alito’s
confirmation was different from GOP opposition.
Ruckman is baffled at McConnell’s failure to play the game. In polite society, you
keep your mouth shut at least until Obama
names the sorry sucker who will be thrown
to the Senate wolves. Who knows? Maybe
Obama will pick a consensus candidate. Or
sprout wings. I think McConnell simply
was cutting to the chase. He didn’t say
Obama cannot nominate anyone,
spokesman Don Stewart noted. Everyone
knows how this movie will end.
Debra J. Saunders is a syndicated
columnist. Her e-mail address is
[email protected].
All will gladly remind us that Democrats have behaved similarly. In
2007 — 18 months before President
George W. Bush’s term was up —
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer recommended that the Senate shouldn’t
confirm any Bush nominee to the
Supreme Court “except under extraordinary circumstances.” And, Republicans will never forgive Democrats for
the circus-like confirmation hearings
of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.
They’ve been keen to return the favor
when the balance of powers shifted
their way.
Even understanding these reasons,
the GOP is playing with fire. Is this really a precedent they wish to set?
Which of these men in his fourth or
eighth year of his presidency would
surrender his own nominating powers
to a successor? And, finally, what if
the next president is Hillary Clinton or
Bernie Sanders?
The GOP’s calculation, apparently, is
that the greater risk lies in Obama’s
nominating a reasonably moderate liberal who passes all the usual tests that
Republicans can’t rationally block. If
Obama were feeling frisky, he might
select a Hispanic or Asian judge, thus
helping ensure that the Republican
“Big Tent” collapses from the weight
of emptiness.
All things considered, it may seem
wiser to avoid the advise-and-consent
process, but hypocrisy takes no prisoners. You can’t attach yourself to
Scalia’s originalist virtues and also ignore the rule of law he so passionately
defended. Scalia’s advice might be his
own reflections on being a good and
faithful judge:
“You have to resign yourself to the
fact that you’re not always going to
like the conclusions you reach.”

Virgin Galactic to roll
out new space
tourism rocket plane
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Virgin Galactic plans to roll
out a new version of its SpaceShipTwo space-tourism rocket
as it prepares to resume testing
for the first time since a 2014
accident destroyed the original
and killed one of its two pilots.
The new spacecraft will be
unveiled Friday at the California’s Mojave Air & Space
Port.
SpaceShipTwo is designed to
be flown by a crew of two and
carry up to six passengers on a
suborbital flight to the fringes
of space for a few minutes of
weightlessness and a view of
the Earth below.
The first SpaceShipTwo
broke apart in high-speed
flight on Oct. 31, 2014, when
the co-pilot prematurely unlocked a system that is intended to slow and stabilize
the craft as it re-enters the atmosphere.
After Palestine talk,
Harvard donor stops
sponsoring events
BOSTON (AP) — A major
backer of Harvard Law School
has stopped sponsoring student events after its donation
helped pay for a discussion
supporting an independent
Palestine.
In 2012, the international law
firm Milbank promised Harvard $1 million over five years
to pay for scholarly conferences organized by law students. But after the money was
used to support an event
hosted by the student group
Justice for Palestine, the law
firm asked Harvard Law
School to use the money for
other purposes.
Calls to Milbank’s New York
headquarters weren’t returned
this week. In a statement, Harvard said Milbank was never
involved in deciding which
events to fund and that the
school will now pay for student events with other resources.
Harvard says Milbank
wanted to “avoid creating any
misimpressions that the firm
endorses the viewpoints expressed by any particular student organization or journal,”
according to the statement,
provided by law school
spokesman Robb London.
In October, students in Justice for Palestine hosted a talk
examining what they say is a
movement to suppress advocates of an independent Palestine. Harvard had previously
awarded the group $2,000 to
hold events throughout the semester using the Milbank donation.
The group says it spent about
$500 for pizza at the fall discussion.
Cruz looks to replicate Iowa ground game
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) —
For months, Ted Cruz’s campaign has touted an expensive
and sophisticated get-out-thevote operation as its antidote to
Donald Trump’s broad populist
appeal.
It worked for Cruz in Iowa. But
Saturday’s South Carolina primary will be a tougher test for the
Texas senator, one that could
shape the race between the antiestablishment rivals as the GOP
contest heads toward delegaterich March voting states.
Unlike in Iowa, where Trump
and Cruz were locked in a tight
battle heading into the caucuses,
the billionaire businessman has
held a big lead in South Carolina
for months.
At least four times as many Republicans are expected to vote in
the first-in-the-South primary as
in Iowa, where the tiny electorate
and caucus-style contest made
campaign organization paramount.
Still, Cruz’s campaign believes
it can replicate its data-focused,
volunteer-heavy strategy in
South Carolina, as well as the
flurry of other Southern states
that vote in the coming weeks.
Some 10,000 Cruz volunteers are
blanketing South Carolina, according to the campaign, with another 10,000 at work in Georgia,
8,000 in Tennessee, 7,000 in
Oklahoma and a staggering
27,000 in Cruz’s home state of
Texas. All are on the docket for
the March 1 voting bonanza
known as Super Tuesday.
“This is a for-real ground
game,” said Rick Tyler, Cruz’s
spokesman. “We’re organized
and we’ve got money.”
On Wednesday morning, a long
line of volunteers spilled out the
door of Cruz’s Greenville campaign headquarters. Cruz’s fa-

ther, Rafael, who has become
something of a celebrity among
his son’s supporters, was inside
greeting volunteers and mingling
with staff.
Those sitting down to make
phone calls were prepped with
talking points about Cruz’s
record, emphasizing his conservative credentials.
A tip sheet offered pointers
about how to sound conversational even when reading from a
script and how to not be offended
if a voter gets snippy.
Outside, volunteers split into
groups of four and hit the road to
knock on doors, armed with a
smart phone app with information about the voters they’d be
trying to speak to.
“We’re the ones that are making
the connection, making it more
personal,” said Kristi Lisenbee, a
49-year-old from Keller, Texas,
who’d just arrived to volunteer
for her home state senator.
Beth Avery, an earnest-sound-
ing 32-year-old with a wool
American flag scarf wrapped
around her neck, was out leading
a group of volunteers looking for
supporters in a working-class
neighborhood in Greenville. A
native of Maryland, Avery had
already volunteered for Cruz in
Iowa and said she was willing to
head to another state if needed.
“For the first time, he’s a leader
I can really get behind,” Avery
said of Cruz.
While Cruz’s legion of volun-
teers gives the campaign an oldfashioned ethos, they’re backed
by a sophisticated and wellfunded analytics operation that
collects reams of personal information on voters.
The data company Cambridge
Analytica, which received $3.8
million in payments from the
campaign in 2015, has access to
the information as well and has
helped Cruz’s team narrowly target voters based on specific issues they’re interested in.

In this image taken from video provided by Shawn Winrich, a helicopter crashes near
Parl Harbor, Hawaii on Thursday.
Eyewitness: Helicopter fell
from sky into Pearl Harbor
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii
(AP) — Shawn Winrich, visiting Hawaii from Madison, Wisconsin, was taking photos of
Pearl Harbor when he saw a helicopter “essentially coming
straight at us” at a popular
tourist destination that attracts
thousands of visitors daily.
He switched to video, recording as the helicopter appeared to
lose altitude and get closer to the
water. “I thought it would be
great video, whatever it is, and
all of a sudden it essentially just
fell out of the sky and crashlanded in the water,” he said.
He stopped filming and
jumped in to help.
The heads of three adults
popped up, and then a fourth
surfaced. He heard people saying a fifth occupant was trapped.
The Bell 206 aircraft made a
hard landing and sank near the
Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
Thursday morning, U.S. Navy
spokeswoman Agnes Tauyan
said.
The names of the five people
on board were not immediately
released.
“We are told bystanders
jumped in to help rescue these
patients from the water,” said
Shayne Enright, spokeswoman
for Honolulu Emergency Services Department.
One of them was Chris Gardner, a tour guide with Keawe
Adventures who was with a
group of tourists at the visitor
center when he heard the crash.
“I took off my shirt and dove
in,” he said, describing how he,
a Navy sailor, a federal police
officer and another man took
turns diving to the submerged
helicopter and trying to free a
passenger with a knife. “He was
strapped into his seat in the back
of the aircraft.”
They eventually freed the
teenage passenger.
The helicopter crashed about
20 feet offshore, right next to the
visitor center’s lawn, said Winrich’s daughter, Justice Winrich.
She watched as it “plopped
down” into the water.
“I saw it like as it was coming
in, and it looked pretty normal.
It didn’t look like it was shaking
or anything,” Winrich said. “It
just started like getting really
close this way and started going
down.” She thought it was
strange that the helicopter was
that close to people.

“WE SERVICE WHAT WE SELL”
Appliance Mart
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The
fatal shooting of a 22-year-old
black man by two sheriff’s
deputies during Carnival festivities is under investigation by a
task force of New Orleans police
investigators and the FBI.
Eric Harris died after being shot
following a vehicle chase that
started at a suburban mall and
ended in downtown New Orleans
on the evening of Feb. 8. The
shooting took place about one
mile from where parades were
rolling on the night before Mardi
Gras.
According to a New Orleans Police Department statement late
Wednesday, Jefferson Parish
deputies told police they pursued
Harris’ vehicle after learning he
was armed with a gun and involved in an incident at Oakwood
Mall in Gretna, Louisiana.
Deputies told police they followed Harris across the Mississippi River until his vehicle
stopped and fired when they felt
they were in danger.
The deputies involved were
Kenneth Bonura, 25, and Henry
DeJean, 43. Bonura is white and
DeJean is black.
In statements to local media,
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell
Normand has said his deputies
fired when they saw the vehicle’s
reverse lights go on after it
crashed into a telephone pole.
The Jefferson Parish sheriff’s office declined to comment Thursday.
That account has been disputed
by Tyshara Blouin, the victim’s
23-year-old girlfriend who was at
the mall and in the car when the
shooting took place.
On Thursday, Gary Bizel, a
lawyer representing Blouin and
Harris’ mother, said his client told
him the deputies rammed into the
back of their car.
“The officers rammed the vehicle, caused it to spin around and
shortly afterwards they started firing,” Bizel said.
“They were stunned and the
shots began.”
Proposed boot camp deal for
Canadian teen in drug shootings
MIAMI (AP) — A Canadian
diplomat’s teenage son could
get a plea deal that includes
boot camp instead of prison for
his role in a fatal Florida shooting that killed his brother and
another teenager.
A judge in Miami is scheduled
Friday to consider the proposed
agreement that would send 15year-old Marc Wabafiyebazu to
a six-month program that includes behavior courses, job
training and drug treatment.
Wabafiyebazu’s mother is Roxanne Dube, on leave as
Canada’s consul general in
Miami.
Wabafiyebazu was charged as
an adult with felony murder in a
drug-related March 2015 shooting.

Big tech companies belatedly join Apple in encryption fight
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Leading tech companies are rallying behind Apple — some belatedly —
in its fight against a court order requiring the company to help investigators break into an iPhone used
by one of the San Bernardino mass shooters.
A U.S. magistrate ordered Apple to produce software that would give investigators access to the
iPhone at issue. Apple has until next Tuesday to
challenge that ruling, setting the stage for a legal
clash that could determine whether tech companies
or government authorities get the final say on just
how secure devices like smartphones can be. CEO
Tim Cook decried the order on Tuesday, saying it
would degrade iPhone security and make users
more vulnerable to spies and cyber thieves.
“We stand with @tim-cook and Apple (and thank
him for his leadership)!” Twitter chief executive
Jack Dorsey wrote in a tweet Thursday afternoon.
In a statement late Thursday, Facebook said it condemns terrorism and also appreciates the essential
work of law enforcement in keeping people safe.
But it said it will “fight aggressively” against requirements for companies to weaken the security of
their systems.
“These demands would create a chilling precedent
and obstruct companies’ efforts to secure their prod-

Tuesday, he posted a 1,117-word open letter that
contended the FBI’s request might have implications “far beyond the legal case at hand.”
For months, Cook has engaged in a sharp, public
debate with government officials over his company’s decision to shield the data of iPhone users
with strong encryption — essentially locking up
people’s photos, text messages and other data so securely that even Apple can’t get at it. Law-enforcement officials from FBI Director James Comey on
down have complained that terrorists and criminals
may use that encryption as a shield.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai also voiced support
for Apple in a series of earlier tweets. “Forcing
companies to enable hacking could compromise
users’ privacy,” Pichai wrote on Wednesday, adding
that the case “could be a troubling precedent.”
The government isn’t asking Apple to help break
the iPhone’s encryption directly, but to disable other
security measures that prevent attempts to guess the
phone’s passcode. Cook argues that once such a tool
is available, “the technique could be used over and
over again, on any number of devices,” even as law
enforcement insists that safeguards could be em-

Occupational Safety & Health Standards Board Chairman David Thomas gestures during
a hearing Thursday, in Oakland, Calif.
Calif. board rejects measure
specifying condom use in porn
LOS ANGELES (AP) — One
after another, scores of people
who make porn films for a living
pleaded their case to California
workplace safety officials: Don’t
force condoms or safety goggles
or other devices designed to stop
the spread of sexually transmitted
diseases on them because those
devices will simply stop people
from watching porn films and
soon they’ll have no jobs at all.
“All of us are here for the same
reason. We want to keep California workers safe,” porn actress
SiouxsieQ, who also reports on
the industry for various publications, told the state Division of
Occupational Safety and Health’s
Standards Board during a public
hearing Thursday.
But adopting regulations specifically requiring the use of condoms and other safety measures
that audiences don’t like would
only keep people from watching
films and destroy a multibilliondollar business that employs
thousands, she and dozens of others told the board.
The panel, which had been
poised to approve the measure,
eventually voted it down when
only three members gave their
support. Four yes votes from the
seven-member panel were required for passage. The vote was
3-2 in favor, with one member
absent and one board position
currently open. The panel will
now begin considering a new
worker-safety measure for the
porn industry, said Cal/OSHA
spokeswoman Julia Bernstein.
Board members appeared influenced by the large number of industry representatives, ranging
from actors to writers to directors, who argued forcefully but
politely during five hours of testimony. If the proposed regulations didn’t destroy their
multibillion-dollar industry, they
said, they would likely force it
underground. Doing that, they
added, could be even worse for
performers by eliminating existing safeguards such as the industry’s requirement that actors be
tested every 14 days for sexually
transmitted diseases.
“I ask you not to approve this
policy that will endanger me and
my colleagues,” said porn actress
Maxine Holloway.
Mike Stabile, a spokesman for
the industry trade group the Free
Speech Coalition, said after the
vote that pornographers hope
they can work closely in the future in crafting safety requirements that the industry can
accept. He didn’t say what those
might be.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has lobbied Cal/OSHA for
years to adopt workplace safety
standards specifically for the
porn industry that are similar to
what it has for other businesses.
Although disappointed by
Thursday’s vote, foundation
spokesman Ged Kenslea said his
organization was impressed that
porn representatives said they
recognize a need for some sort of
regulation. He added his group
would be interested in working
with them to achieve that goal.
Under the 21-page proposal
Cal/OSHA rejected, so-called engineering controls “such as condoms” must be used by actors
engaging in sex to reduce the risk
of transmitting HIV and other
diseases.

Teen
daughter’s
sex life
reveals
parental
discord
D
D
EAR ABBY: My 16year-old perfect kid
came to us, very adultlike, saying it was time for her
to go on the pill. We knew she
had a boyfriend, but didn’t realize it was this serious.
Despite my initial impulse to
kill him and stick my daughter
in a convent, we discussed it as
a family and agreed she would
see a gynecologist. She also had
a long talk with her mother
about sex, and with me a few
days later. When I sat down
alone with her she was embarrassed, but I don’t care — I’m
her father.
Fast forward to last
Dear
week: She
Abby
left her iPad
in the living
room, and
while I was
using it, up
popped explicit pictures of her
not only
with her
boyfriend,
but with
Abigail
other guys
Van Buren
and girls.
Her mother
and I talked about how to handle this. I suggested therapy and
pulling her from school. My
wife disagreed. She accused me
of violating our daughter’s personal property and said it’s none
of my business!
I may be old-fashioned, but my
daughter, whom I love more
than life, needs to know this is
not OK. She’s still a child despite looking like an adult, and
as a child, she needs guidance.
Am I wrong? Do you have any
resources for me on handling
my daughter’s sexual impulses?
— CONCERNED DAD IN
SANTA CLARA
DEAR CONCERNED DAD:
To pull your daughter out of
school or send her to a psychotherapist would be an overreaction. Her sexual impulses
are normal. Although I agree
she needs guidance, that guidance should come from you and
your wife.
As to your “violating your
daughter’s personal property,”
I’m glad you saw what was on
the tablet and your wife should
be as well. The kind of photos
you describe can cause big
problems for teenaged girls. If
her relationship with her
boyfriend sours, those pictures
can wind up on the Internet to
be viewed for all time.
Colleges and prospective employers have been known to
scour the Internet looking for
these kinds of postings when interviewing students and job
seekers. What may seem like innocent fun now could cause her
big headaches a few years down
the line, and your daughter
needs to know it.
DEAR ABBY: I work the
front desk at a small hotel in the
middle of nowhere. I love my
job. My boss and co-workers
are amazing, and we are like a
big family.
Recently, while I was working
the graveyard shift, I was held
up at gunpoint and robbed.
Going to work still scares me,
and I’m anxious the entire time.
Should I seek counseling and
stay with this job to see if my
anxiety lessens, or find another
one where I won’t have to deal
with cash? I’m terrified of this
happening again, since the thief
got away with it. — JUST
DON’T SHOOT
DEAR JUST DON’T
SHOOT: You should definitely
seek counseling because of the
trauma you experienced. Some
states offer it as part of a victims
assistance program, but if yours
does not, then you will have to
get it privately through your
health insurance or your employer’s. After you have had
some sessions, you will then be
in a better position to decide
whether to continue working at
that hotel.

The Mastersingers’ Unity in the Community Concert is scheduled for Sunday at 3p.m.
Unity in the Community concert Sunday
COOKEVILLE — What do Martin
Luther King Jr. and Fred Rogers have
in common?
Come find out and enjoy uplifting
music with a unifying message at the
Mastersingers’ “Unity in the Community” concert this Sunday, Feb. 21. The
concert will be at 3 p.m. in Wattenbarger Auditorium in the Bryan Fine
Arts Building at Tennessee Tech.
This performance is designed to celebrate the lives of famed civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and
Fred Rogers, best known for his long
running television show, “Mister
Rogers’ Neighborhood.”
There will be activities for children
before the concert that will focus on the
important messages of love and peace
that these two men worked so hard to
promote, messages which are still very
relevant today.
The concert itself will feature songs
including “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,”
“Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” “I
Dream a World,” “I’m Free at Last,”
“All Creatures of Our God,” a medley
of Mr. Rogers’ songs, and more. The
Mastersingers are excited to be performing some of the selections with the
Prescott South Elementary School
Chorus and TTU’s Chorale group.
Proceeds go to support the Mastersingers and their various programs.
In 2015, they began awarding two
scholarships for TTU vocal students,
and they plan to continue and expand
this effort over time. Also, about 15
percent of the proceeds will go to support the Cookeville Children’s Chorus,
a new program the Mastersingers will
be launching this fall. Additional information about this effort will be coming
soon.
Individual tickets are $10 per adult;
tickets for those 18 and under are only
$5, and TTU students with their school
IDs are admitted free. Tickets can be
purchased from a Mastersinger, online
at www.mastersingersinc.com, or at the
door that day.
The concert is being generously sponsored by local art and music lovers
Sam and Diane Glasgow.
The Mastersingers have been
Cookeville’s Community Chorus since
1978.
Their mission is to bring high quality
musical presentations to the Upper
Cumberland community and give local
singers an opportunity to participate in
a professional music group.
They continue to enrich the cultural
life of the Upper Cumberland area with
quality choral performances designed
to delight listeners of all ages.
For more information, please go to

Rotary’s International Night
rescheduled to March 5
COOKEVILLE — Cookeville
Breakfast Rotary Club’s International
Night, at the Leslie Town Centre, has
been rescheduled, due to Jan. 23’s
“Snowmageddon,” to March 5, at 5:30
p.m. This year’s theme country is
Greece. The evening features a Greek
menu, cash bar, and silent auction as
well as a few other surprises. What’s
for dinner? The evening will begin
with an appetizer bar with Mediterranean olives, pita, hummus, and
tzatziki to enjoy with drinks before
dinner. Dinner will feature Greek
salad, oven roasted chicken with
lemon and oregano, orzo with marinara, Greek potatoes, roasted vegetables, spanakopita, and garlic bread.
Dessert will be the best baklava one
can find outside of Greece.
There are still just a few tickets left
for the event, which are $25 each.
Contact Rachel Moses (931-2650439). You don’t want to miss this special evening.
In addition to a silent auction and
fantastic dinner buffet, the featured
speaker for the evening will be Rudy
Kalis. Kalis is probably best known
for his lengthy career (since 1974)
at WSMV as a sportscaster, but he is
also a world traveler and sought after
speaker. He has been honored with
four regional Emmys for outstanding
broadcasting and commentary. But
Kalis had humble beginnings, and he
sailed into New York harbor with his
mother, father, and sister as immigrants from Germany when he was
only 5 years old — unable to speak a
word of English. With all of their
earthly possessions crammed into one
small wooden trunk, they were each
issued $14 and a train ticket that eventually led to Milwaukee, Wis., where
he lived for the next 20 years.
In 1970, after serving his country
with four years in the United States Air
Force, he returned to Milwaukee and
attended the University of WisconsinMilwaukee, earning a degree in mass
communications.
The key to his longevity and success
lies in the fact that he has always been
able to relate the drive to succeed in
sports to the same passion to succeed
in life. In order to appreciate that even
more, he’s made a point of getting involved personally from skydiving, to
driving race cars, to flying in an F-16
fighter jet.
He is truly a man with passion for
life, for work and for family.

for seniors.
Here is some helpful advice for preventing common winter dangers:

Dress for warmth
Cold temperatures can lead to frostbite and hypothermia. According to
the CDC, more than half of hypothermia-related deaths were of people
over the age of 65.
So don’t let indoor temperatures go
too low and dress in layers. Going
outside? Wear warm socks, a heavy
coat, a warm hat, gloves a scarf and
cover all exposed skin. Use a scarf to
cover your mouth and protect your
lungs.
Fight wintertime depression
Because it can be difficult and dangerous to get around, many seniors
have less contact with others during
cold months. This can breed feelings
of loneliness and isolation.
To help avoid these issues, family
members can check in on seniors as
often as possible; even a short, daily
phone call can make a big difference.
Seniors can also arrange telephone
reassurance through the Senior Centers where each person is checked on
as requested.
Check the car
Driving during the winter can be
hazardous for anyone. But it is especially dangerous for older people,
who may not drive as often anymore.
The best choice is to stay at home or
call U-Cart for transportation if no
other options are available.
Prepare for power outages
Winter storms can lead to power
outages. Make sure you have easy access to flashlights and a battery-powered radio in case the power goes out.
Stockpile warm blankets. Keep a
supply of non-perishable foods that
can be eaten cold on hand. If the
power goes out, wear several layers
of clothing, including a hat. Move
around a lot to raise your body temperature.
Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning
Using a fireplace, gas heater or
lanterns can lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector and check the
batteries often.
The most important tip to keep in
mind during the colder months is to
ask for help. If you need to clear your
property of snow and ice, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Arrange rides to
the grocery store and doctor’s appointments. Again we have U-Cart
services specifically for seniors.
The Algood Senior Center typically
does not close during snowy weather;
however, it is a good idea to call us
and check before you get out. The
best “rule of thumb” is stay in and
stay safe.
Coming up we will have Marie
Feran, Legal Services Attorney with
AAAD, on Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 11:30
a.m. If you need assistance on legal
matters or have questions, please join

To obey
is the
better
choice
In 1968 Denny McClain was a
baseball phenomenon as the first
major league pitcher to win 30
games in a season since Dizzy
Dean did it in
1934. The next
year he was involved in a
gambling scandal and suspended. When
the suspension
was over he
could not even
win with a
minor league
Jim
team.
Rogers
Remembering
Denny’s playing days, I went to the internet to
learn what I could about his life
after the big time. One reporter
said, “McClain went from the big
time to the big house.” Involved
in one unlawful scheme after another, he spent several years in
prison and lost everything. Another said he had been destined for
the Hall of Fame, but wound up in
the hall of shame.
Denny McClain reminds me of
King Saul, Israel’s first king.
After becoming king he had everything and became nothing. He
was handsome, stood head and
shoulders above his countrymen,
and the Bible says there was no
one like him in Israel.
Saul ended up defeated by the
enemy, and on Mount Gilboa, with
his dead sons and soldiers around
him, he took his own life. The
Philistines cut off his head and
nailed his headless corpse to one
of their city walls for all the people to mock. He found his “hall of
shame.”
The late Vance Havner said,
“Next to Judas Iscariot there is no
more tragic figure in all the Scriptures than Saul, King of Israel. No
man ever got off to a better start
and no man ever had a sadder finish.”
Saul reigned for 42 years, from
age 30 to 72. In his first campaign
(battle) as king, he showed
courage and compassion, but for
the rest of his life there is not a
good word said about him.
Denny McClain and King Saul,
like the Titanic, appeared on the
surface to be the picture of perfection. Like the Titanic, they ignored warnings and were no match
for the challenges they faced.
Saul summed up his life like this:
“Surely I have acted like a fool
and have erred greatly” (1 Samuel
26:21).
Few if any of us started out with
great promise as those two men
did. But I also pray that none of
us will come to our end in tragedy.
God’s prophet Samuel said to
Saul, “Does the LORD delight in
burnt offerings and sacrifices as
much as in obeying the voice of
the LORD? To obey is better than
sacrifice, and to heed is better than
the fat of rams. For rebellion is
like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word
of the LORD, he has rejected you
as king” (1 Samuel 15:22-23).
When we come to the end of our
days, it will not matter to us
whether our riches were great or
small, but whether our lives were
in harmony with God’s plan for
our lives.

Valentine’s project
Men
wrote
the Bible
Youth members of St. Michael's Episcopal Church met last Saturday to make and eat homemade pizza
and then bake and decorate Valentine's Day cookies for juvenile inmates of the Putnam County Jail. Each
bag of cookies contained a card with scripture from the Gospel of Mathew. Shown here with the finished
cookies are, front row, from left, Camille Hix, Olivia Ervin and Patrick McKelvie. In back, from left, are
Anna Kaye Samon, Jacqueline Capron-Allcott. and Lydia McKelvie.
Being biblical and not bullies:
Reach out and help others
Is there any value or virtue in being
easy on people? In younger days, I
mostly equated this generous lifestyle
with lack of concern for right or plain
laziness. Said viewpoint is easy to accept because it is sometimes true, but
correlation is not causation. Being a
nice guy or gal is not necessarily weakness as being hard-boiled indicative of
strength. We all wanted to be right and
sure of it. Now, I’m not as sure of myself — or other people.
Most people have guilty consciences.
Something torments them. This is as
true of believers as unbelievers — the
repentant, as well as, the reprobate. The
conscience will not allow us to rest
though atonement is sought or paid. It
is often even difficult for Christ-followers to believe that their sins are actually
forgiven. Head and heart knowledge are
different things, and, many times, Satan
whispers, “There is no use to try.”
It’s not an easy thing to maintain the
balance of convictions and consolation.
The nature of convictions is for them to
be highly personal, and I am constantly
surprised at the things which seemed to
be so important years ago that scarcely
matter today. Perhaps, the lesson is
that we ought to
hold our individual
beliefs less dear
and clear biblical
teachings
more
near. Loving right
and loving relationships are both
scriptural admoniSterl
tions.
It’s not comproParamore
mise to overlook a
fault or hold your
tongue in times of frustration. People
fail. “People” includes you and me. It
would be in the interest of the hurting,
the observing, our world and the house
of God if, occasionally, the concerned
would give the convicted a pass. This
doesn’t mean godlessness — it means
grace.
Guilt can be a motivator, but it can
also be an obstacle. The actions of believers toward one another can make
the difference.
I have come to believe that the followers of Christ should ease the path and
progress of others. If we are biblical but
not bullies, it will help. We should not
see forgiveness as excuse — making or
fault-finding as justice. It’s a matter of
balance. Paul said that believers should
be willing to endure a fault for the sake
of testimony and harmony of the saints.
There’s a message largely wasted on the
“me-first” generation. But it’s in the
Bible.
Regret is a sometimes companion of
mine. There are many things I wish I
could do over — or undo. I also wonder
if there are people who have been hurt
by my actions of which I am unaware.
Perhaps, there are other people who feel
the same way — even with regard to
me. At this point, I no longer feel I have
any scores to settle. So, if there’s anybody out there feeling they owe me an
explanation or apology — don’t worry
about it.

Speaking In Stories: Just enough land
Once upon a time a man owned a
small farm of 30 acres where he grew
vegetables for his wife to sell at their
roadside stand. The man worked by day
at a factory in town, and farmed the
land early in the morning and on weekends. At night, when they would sit at
the kitchen table, his wife would say,
“Charles, we are most fortunate that our
vegetables grow so well. People buy
everything we grow.” But Charles was
not satisfied and said, “I do not have
enough land. If I had more land, I could
quit my job in town and farm full time.”
Soon an opportunity arose, and
Charles borrowed money to purchase a
field adjoining his property. Since he
kept his job in town to help pay for the
field, he now worked far into the night
planting and caring for the plants that
grew lavishly and beautifully. When he
would return late at night, he wife
would say, “Charles, God has been
good to us. The warm sun and the abundant rainfall have filled our stand, and
still the people buy all we grow.” But
Charles was not satisfied. He said, “I do
not have enough land. If I had another
farm, we could sell vegetables to the
stores in town as well as at our stand.”
Soon after that conversation, Charles
purchased 140
acres nearby. He
no longer worked
in town. Although
his wife worked
faithfully by his
side, there did not
seem
to
be
enough hours in
the day to complete all the work.
Martin
On the rare occasion when they
Thielen
had time together
to talk, his wife
would say, “Who could be more fortunate than we, Charles? Our fields are
full and we sell everything we grow.”
But Charles was not satisfied and said,
“I do not have enough land. If I could
buy more land, we could sell to the
chain stores—that’s where the real
money is.”
So Charles purchased a farm of nearly
250 tillable acres. He closed the roadside stand and hired men to help manage each farm.
He built refrigerated storage buildings
so that he could sell when the prices
were highest.
Charles wife did the book work while
he supervised his many employees, including the seasonal migrant workers to
assist at harvest time. He now sold his
produce to many stores, including a national chain. On weekends, when they
went out for dinner, his wife would say,
“God is good to us, Charles. There is
nothing we lack.” But Charles was not
satisfied. He said, “I do not have
enough land. If I could buy land south
of here, we could grow other crops that
our climate will not allow.
So Charles purchased a large farm
about 100 miles south of his home. He
spent a massive amount of time commuting between farms, working extremely long hours, seven days a week.
After a long day, Charles suffered a
heart attack and died.
He was buried in a small cemetery
plot: seven feet long, four feet wide, and
six feet deep. Just enough land.
Martin Thielen, senior pastor at
Cookeville First United Methodist
Church, is the author of seven
books including “Searching For
Happiness,” “The Answer to Bad
Religion Is Not No Religion,” and
“What’s the Least I Can Believe
and Still Be a Christian?”
Is the Bible too sacred for us to intelligently investigate? Do we dare
question a text in the Bible? Do we
dare doubt some of the statements
we find in the Bible? Do we dare
challenge people who worship the
Bible? Has the Bible become an idol
to many Christians?
Many believe
that as long as
we believe the
Bible is the
Word of God, we
dare not question
it. The traditional view is
that God wrote
the Bible, that it
is the “breathed
Word of God.”
Gene
When some peoSkipworth
ple say God
wrote the Bible,
they discredit God because of the
bad press he gets from many texts in
the Bible. Some texts in the Bible
make God out to be vengeful, intolerant and angry. We send people to
prison and even put people to death
for doing some of the things the
Bible says God did. (Exodus 12,
Joshua 6)
He makes the sun stand still and the
earth does not revolve for a full day?
He is that careless with the natural
order of things? He makes a snake
and donkey talk? He sends a flood to
cover the earth and drowns everyone;
senior citizens, feeble little old men,
mothers and babies, children, aged
grandparents, dogs and cats? He
sends his own son to be killed? He
wants sacrifices offered on the altar
to forgive sins? He can’t forgive sins
without a sacrifice? Sure he can. (I
Sam 15:22, Ps 51:16-17, Matt 9:13;
Matt 12:7)
We are told not to question anything
in the Bible because it is the Word of
God. But men wrote the Bible. There
are two creation stories in Genesis
with one saying man was created
first and then the animals. The other
says the animals were created first
and then man. If God wrote that did
he really forget who was created
first?
For each of us to have our lives enriched by scripture and to hold the
Bible as a guide and inspiration, we
must read it as John Wesley encouraged us; with reason and our intellect, our experience in this world, our
tradition and understanding the message of Jesus, and scripture illuminated as it stands next to the word
Jesus gives us. As we immerse ourselves in the spirit of Jesus and his
word to us we find the Bible rich
with meaning and helpful messages.
The creation stories are so important
to our dealing with the challenges of
this life. The message in Jonah is rich
with meaning on acceptance and tolerance. There are some things that
Paul said that were strictly Paulinian.
But much of what Paul said gives
clarity and enhances Christ’s message. His message about the resurrection gives integrity to the Easter
event. His definition of love in I
Corinthians 13 is Christ-like. We can
do no better than Jesus’ words in the
Beatitudes. His sermon on the mount
gives direction this world so badly
needs. The Bible points his way of
love as the way of salvation. That is
the message we need.

“Life or Something Like It” is the
title of a wonderful movie starring
Angelina Jolie and Edward Burns
that has become one of my favorite
message movies.
It tells the story of Lanie, who
comes to question the meaning of
her life. Lanie grew up in the
shadow of her beautiful sister who
was a cheerleader, grew up to get
married, have children, and live in a
big home. Lanie also had big dreams
for herself, grew up to become a
gorgeous television news personality, and was engaged to a popular
baseball player. Everything seemed
to be going really well for her until
she met a homeless man who was a
self-proclaimed prophet named
Jack. With her new cameraman,
Pete, a boyfriend from her past, they
interviewed Jack about his prophesies. He gave her several predictions
and then stunned Lanie by telling
her that she only had seven days to
live. At first she didn’t take it seri-
ously until she saw that his other
predictions were coming true, which
convinced her that she did, in fact,
only have a few days left on earth.
This sends her into a frantic journey of self-discovery as she begins
to question everything about her
life. She tries to reconnect with her
sister who turns out not to have the
perfect life that she thought she had.
She visits her dad, and to her surprise, she discovers that he really
was proud of her and always had
been when she didn’t think he was.
Later she finds out that her fiancé really didn’t love her, but was with her
for being more arm candy than anything else, which results in her
breaking up with him.
During all of this, she starts to reconnect with Pete, who really cares
about her and accepts her just as she
is. Lanie also discovers that all the
outward appearances of her life
were superficial and she starts to go
within to find her true self.
Lanie had also been up for a big
network TV position, which Jack
told her she would not get, but she
was shocked and excited when the
job was actually offered to her.
Therefore, maybe she really was
going to live! Her first interview
would be with her idol, a famous
media personality, who wanted
complete control over the questions.

What’s the source of your hope for eternity?
”And when I saw Him, I fell at His
feet as dead. And He laid His right
hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear
not; I am the First and the Last: I am
He that liveth, and was dead; and,
behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have the keys of hell and
of death.” Revelation 1:17, 18.
The foundation of my hope and the
one thing that strengthens me is
God’s promise of power to deliver
me from sin. I believe God has this
power because He proved it through
the life, death, and resurrection of
His Son Jesus Christ, who “was
dead” yet is now “alive for evermore.” “For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall
stand at the latter day upon the
earth.” Job 19:25.
Just before Jesus was arrested and
led away to be tried before the
Roman governor and the Jewish
king, He told His disciples, “Yet a
little while, and the world seeth Me
no more; but ye see Me: because I
live, ye shall live also.” John 14:19.
Our life that we often handle so
flippantly and abusively, is a gift
from God. We only have it because
Jesus committed Himself to take
Adam’s place when he sinned, and
suffer the just punishment for
Adam’s flagrant rebellion against
his Creator. At the moment Adam
sinned, Christ stood in Adam’s
shoes, taking upon Himself full responsibility for the just penalty of
Adam’s sin.
Adam lived that day when he
should have died instantly. “In the
day that thou eatest [of the tree],
thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17.
The life of Christ saved Adam as
surely as it saves all who confess
their need of a Saviour from sin.
Jesus came to save sinners. He
placed His precious life on the line

Intentionally Inclusive
RELIGION
Who will be saved? Who will enter heaven?
Who will be saved eternally? Who will
enter the golden clime of heaven? Who
will hear the Master say, “Well done,
good and faithful servant.” (Matthew
25:23) There are no questions of more
paramount importance than these. The
answer to each question, of course, is the
same.
In answer to these questions, many
might base a response on goodness or
religious character. To be saved eternally, is it sufficient to be a good person?
To be saved eternally, is it sufficient to
be a religious person? The word of God
details the answer to these questions and
all that associates to them.
Consider the matter of basic goodness
first. Will basic goodness be enough to
save an individual at the day of judgment? It seems reasonable to think that
every civilization has had a fair population of people who lived in accordance
to recognized good moral behavior.
Such is no less true of the present day.
There are many individuals who would
claim to be morally good apart from any
other characteristic that might be listed.
Such individuals might assert that they
do not steal from others, purposely harm
others, lie to others, commit sexual sin,
engage in gambling, participate in social
drinking of alcoholic beverages, or any
number of other specific sins.
Such an individual might feel that he
or she is saved because of the moral
goodness displayed in his/her life in the
absence of these things that are wrong,
but that viewpoint by itself is not correct
according to the Bible.
Moral goodness, by itself, cannot save.
If it could, why did the Almighty God of
heaven dispatch His “only begotten
Son” to die the agonizing, excruciating,
horribly painful death of crucifixion?
(John 3:16) If moral goodness by itself
could save, there would have been no
need for Jesus to come to this planet;
people could be saved by moral goodness without Christ. If moral goodness
by itself could save, there would have
been no need for Jesus to submit to
death; people could be saved by moral
goodness without Christ’s death and
without Christ’s blood. Indeed, God’s
wisdom must be
questioned if He
sent His Son to die
so terribly and yet
that death was unnecessary!
Because Jesus did
come and die as
He did, it is clear
that moral goodness by itself canRandy
not save. A similar
point to this is
Bybee
found with respect
to the Law of
Moses. (Galatians 2:21) If the Law of
Moses could save, there would have no
need for Christ to come; correspondingly, if moral goodness can save, Jesus
died in vain.
Consider the matter of religiosity. Will
a person be saved just because he/she is
religious? Jesus answered this inquiry
directly. “Not every one that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will
of my Father which is in heaven. Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful
works? And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.” (Matthew 7:2123) Jesus referenced individuals who
were religious; note that they called Him
Lord.
These individuals also prophesied and
claimed to have done many wonderful
works in the name of Jesus; again, they
were religious people. Yet, Jesus pronounced that He did not know them and
that they were to depart from Him.
These folks were not saved even though
they were religious.
It is vital to understand at the most
basic level what salvation is. Salvation
is the consequence of the forgiveness of
sins. Without having sins forgiven, there
is no salvation.
Neither moral goodness nor religious
character forgives sins. The one and
only agent that can forgive sins is the
blood of Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 9:12,22;
2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7;
Colossians 1:14; Revelation 1:5) By
declaration of Jesus Himself, one avails
himself of the cleansing power of the
blood of Christ in obedience to the
gospel. One who believes in Jesus, repents of his/her sins, confesses the name
of Christ, is baptized for the remission
of sins, and lives in faithful obedience to
Jesus until death is saved. (Matthew
28:18-20; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3,4; 10:9,10; Galatians 3:26,27;
1 Peter 3:21) Each heart should be filled
with thanksgiving for the revelation of
God in the form of the gospel of Christ;
for, in it the power of God to salvation
is presented. (Romans 1:16)
”But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. To him be glory both now and for
ever. Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18)

‘To God Be the Glory’ — A hymn’s revival in Nashville
Lucy
Adams
To read the life of Fanny
Crosby is to see one of God’s
miracles unfold. She was born in
Putnam County, New York, in
1820 and lived to be 95-years
old.
In the first few months of her
life she went blind because of a
physician’s error. In spite of that,
her childhood and maturing years
were filled with joy, adventure
and a growing faith. She became
a teacher at the New York School
for the Blind, and was a wife and
a mother. Crosby wrote more
than 8,000 hymns and is often
identified at the “queen of gospel
music.” Unlike the other hymns
that she wrote, “To God Be the
Glory” was hidden away for
years. However, it became popular in England in the late 1800s
when it was sung by the music
team of D.L. Moody.
But it was never revived in
America — its birthplace. It definitely fits the question, “If a
hymn dies, can it live again?”
The answer is a resounding,
“yes.” And it was in England that
it was discovered again. The
amazing story is told by Robert
J. Morgan in his book, “Near to
the Heart of God:”
“I live in Nashville, Tennessee,
home of Vanderbilt University
and its football stadium, Dudley
Field. In the early 1950s, Billy
Graham wanted to hold an evangelistic crusade in this venue, but
the stadium was unlighted; all
football games were played dur-
ing the day.
“After much prayer and consideration, crusade organizers donated money for stadium lights
in exchange for free rent and the
meetings opened on Aug. 22,
1954.
“It was there that music director
Cliff Barrows introduced an obscure hymn he had recently
found in London. It was an old
Fanny Crosby one, originally
published in 1875, which had
never ‘caught on.’
“Well, it caught on in Nashville
and has been sung around the
world ever since.”
The apostle Paul wrote in his
letter to the Galatians, “God forbid that I should glory, except in
the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ.” (Galatians 6:14).

ANN: What’s the source of your hope in eternity?
From Page 9
“through weakness” literally means that
He assumed our weak and fallen human
condition. Divinity cannot die; it is eternal and immortal; not subject to death or
corruption. Only by assuming in His incarnation the nature that needed redeeming, was Jesus qualified to be our
Kinsman Redeemer. The source of His
“weakness”—assuming our fallen nature—was the necessary qualification
from which the possibility of His death
on the cross flowed.
“Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, He also
Himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death He might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the
devil; and deliver them who through fear
of death were all their lifetime subject to
bondage. For verily He took not on Him
the nature of angels; but He took on Him
the seed [literally: sperm; genetic material] of Abraham. Wherefore in all things
it behoved Him to be made like unto His
brethren, that He might be a merciful
and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for
the sins of the people. For in that He
Himself hath suffered being tempted, He
is able to succour them that are
tempted.” Hebrews 2:14-18.
Jesus was “weak in the flesh,” but all
of His life His faith in His Father’s
power over sin and death was strong,
never wavering. He gave to everyone a
“measure” of His tested and proven faith
(Romans 12:3). By exercising this gift,
we too can “overcome even as [He] also
overcame” (see Revelation 3:21).
The counsel for us is “let this mind be
in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 2:5). When we do take on
His way of thinking, we will “not [be]
conformed to this world: but [we will
be] transformed by the renewing of [our]
mind, that [we] may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will
of God.” Romans 12:2.
The Son of God so loved us that He
willingly gave up all heaven to come to
this world, take upon Himself our fallen
nature which needed redeeming, and die
the equivalent of eternal death on the
cruel cross of Calvary.
“Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal with
God: but made Himself of no reputation,
and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of
men: and being found in fashion as a
man, He humbled Himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of
the cross. Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted Him, and given Him a
name which is above every name: that
at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of things in heaven, and things in
earth, and things under the earth; and
that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.” Philippians 2:6-11.
Every knee will bow. Every tongue
will proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord
of all, and worthy of our praise and worship. Those who have accepted Him into
their lives and believed in His power
over sin and death, shall for evermore
enjoy the glories of heaven and the earth
made new.
Sadly, those who have rejected Him
and denied Him will be given what they
freely chose—destruction in the fires of
hell.
The choice you should be making—
right now—is to die with Christ to sin
and evil, just as the apostle Paul did on
a daily basis. Only in this way can we
truly live. “I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me, and gave
Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20. By
faith “ye are dead [to sin], and your life
is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians
3:3.
Jesus’ highest joy is to save us from the
snares of Satan, and to present us before
His Father, washed and pure, holy and
blameless. “Wherefore He is able also to
save to the uttermost [all] that come unto
God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to
make intercession for [us].” (Hebrews
7:25)
He “is able to keep you from falling,
and to present you faultless before the
presence of His glory with exceeding
joy.” (Jude 24).

KAREN: We’re constantly being invited to be who we really are
From Page 9
asked her questions that weren’t on the list and
caused the woman to cry; consequently, after the
interview was over, the woman fired Lanie. But the
ratings were high and the network still offered her
the job.
She suddenly had an epiphany in that she realized
that this wasn’t the job or the life she really wanted
and she decided to go back home to be with Pete
and lead a much simpler life. Except as she left the
building, there was a struggle between a man and
an officer, and the man’s gun went off accidently
shooting Lanie. Fortunately, she survives and she
and Pete tell each other how much they love each
other, and the film has a happy ending. So did
Lanie die? As she said at the end in the voiceover,
“Jack was right. A part of me did die that day; the
part of me that didn’t know how to live.”
I loved this movie as there were so many great
messages in the story. How many of us believe that
our happiness and well-being depends on outward
appearances such as the way we look, the jobs we
have, our houses and cars, etc., who we know, how
much money we have, and so on? We think our
identity is outside ourselves.
But like Lanie learned, all this is nice and it’s okay
to have these things, but they’re all superficial and
have nothing to do with who we really are. All
those things can go away, and for many of us, they
have.
Would we know who we were without them?
Our identity is not who we are out there, but it is
who we are within. What kind of person are we?
Are we loving, kind, compassionate, not only towards others, but to ourselves? Do we even like
ourselves? Better yet, do we love ourselves just as
we are? Can we be our own best friend? Are we
being our own true authentic selves? Do we really
know how to live? Who is in control of our destiny?
We can control our destiny! Gandhi said, “Your
beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits
become your values. Your values become your destiny.” Or as Henry David Thoreau stated, “We are
constantly invited to be who we are.”

‘Risen’ tells resurrection tale through a skeptic
By LINDSEY BAHR
AP Film Writer
Modern faith-based films don’t have a
stellar track record when it comes to
quality. But they seem to both serve their
intended audience and make money
along the way, and, because of that, are
given an implicit pass to exist somewhere outside of the expectations placed
on traditional films.
That’s why “Risen” is such an interesting and even promising departure. It
looks and feels like a film that just happens to fit into the faith-based genre instead of a faith-based infomercial that
sort of resembles a film — at least at
first.
That’s all credit to writer/director
Kevin Reynolds, whose past films include “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,”
“Waterworld” and “The Count of Monte
Cristo.” With “Risen,” Reynolds has endeavored to make a more classical biblical epic told in an original way — as a
bureaucratic investigation into the resurrection.
Joseph Fiennes’ Clavius anchors the
story — an ambitious, unsentimental
Roman soldier who is helping Pontius
Pilate (a funny, exasperated Peter Firth)
deal with his Nazarene problem. Clavius
such a stir in Judea as though he’s just
checking tasks off a list.
Clavius speeds up with crucifixion by
ordering the body punctured, which
seems to be the end of it, but of course
all goes to hell when Jesus’s dead body
(they refer to him here as either the
Nazarene or Yeshua) goes missing from
the tomb, and Clavius is on the hook for
tracking it down. The stakes are no less
than Clavius’s future and Pilate’s control.
The film progresses from there much
like a police procedural. With a skeptical
eye and a green right-hand apprentice to
teach (“Harry Potter’s” Tom Felton),
Clavius rounds up suspects and interested parties to try to find out what happened to the body — the feckless
soldiers who were guarding the tomb, an
elderly blind lady, Mary Magdalene
(Spanish actress Maria Botto), and a hippie dope. There’s almost a “Dragnet” wit
to things as Clavius questions the eccentrics and zealots brought to tears by
AP
the mere thought of the miracle.
And it all works fairly well. Reynolds
Tom Felton, left, as Lucius and Joseph Fiennes as Clavius in Columhas not phoned this effort in and avoids
bia Pictures’ “Risen.”

Beout tasks with the hopes of eventually We see him go straight from battle to the sides keeping a sense of humor about itmaking it to Rome, where he hopes to crucifixion of the man who has caused self, “Risen” looks good too. Filmed in
Spain and Malta, the dusty, sun-battered
landscapes evoke the ancient setting of
this remote outpost.
Fiennes also does a nice job of keeping
things grounded, but everything changes
when Clavius sees Yeshua (played by
New Zealand actor Cliff Curtis) alive
and well and hanging out with the Apostles he’d dismissed as quacks. He’s not
an immediate convert, but this begins his
transition from hard-boiled cynic to
weepy believer. It’s in this third act that
“Risen” devolves in both story and artfulness and becomes more cheesy Sunday School commercial than film.
The inevitability of Clavius’s transition
is perhaps to blame, making the film feel
like two pieces that don’t quite fit together. He stops questioning things altogether. The swift and complete
transformation simply doesn’t ring true
for the character.
How Joe Friday found his faith is an interesting premise. “Risen” gets halfway
there, but it goes into auto-pilot where it
matters the most.
“Risen,” a Columbia Pictures release,
is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “biblical violence including some disturbing
images.” Running time: 108 minutes.

Flawed Jesse Owens biopic ‘Race’ a timely tribute
By SANDY COHEN
AP Entertainment Writer
Most know Jesse Owens as an
Olympic gold medalist and record-setting track star. But it took more than
physical strength to overcome the discrimination he faced as a young black
athlete in the United States and
abroad.
The biopic “Race” — made with the
support and cooperation of Owens’
family — has some flaws, but it succeeds in bringing dimension to an
American icon and reminding Hollywood of the richness of untold stories
outside the white male mainstream.
Ambitious in scope, the film tracks
Owens’ rise from college freshman to
Olympic hero, while also telling the
story of the U.S. Olympic Committee’s debate over participating in the
1936 games in Nazi Germany.
There’s so much going on that the
script by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse ends up feeling like a Cliff’s
Notes-look at a significant period in
history. It follows Owens’ relationships with his wife, his coach and his
main competitors. It shows strife
within the American Olympic committee and hints at unscrupulous negotiations with Nazi officials. And there’s a
subplot about a filmmaker documenting the games for the Nazi regime,
which hoped the competition would
prove its theories of a superior Aryan
race.
At the center of the story, though, are
Owens (Stephan James, subtly introducing himself as a capable leading
man) and coach Larry Snyder (Jason
Sudeikis in a convincing dramatic
turn). They meet in 1933, during
Owens’ first year at Ohio State. Snyder, once an Olympic contender himself, recognizes the young athlete’s
gifts immediately and insists he prepare for the 1936 games.
Meanwhile, a powerful member of
the U.S. Olympic Committee, real estate developer Avery Brundage (the al-
ways excellent Jeremy Irons), was facing off with committee president Jeremiah Mahoney (an underused William
Hurt) over whether the U.S. should attend the Olympics at all. Mahoney
wanted to boycott the Berlin games in
protest of the Nazi persecution of
Jews. Brundage insisted sports had
nothing to do with politics. He goes to
Berlin to meet with Nazi propagandist
Joseph Goebbels (unflinching German
actor Barnaby Metschurat), and threatens an American boycott unless Jewish and black athletes are assured fair
treatment.
Back in Ohio, Owens thrives under
Snyder’s tutelage, enjoying local fame
as Ohio State’s record-breaking runner. But he struggles to support and
stay committed to his future wife,
Ruth (outstanding newcomer Shanice
Banton), and their baby daughter. The
already overstuffed script unnecessarily introduces a potential romantic
rival, but it does allow for an excellent
scene at a beauty shop for Ruth to de-
liver the kind of cold dismissal any
scorned woman would appreciate.
It’s unclear if any such rival really
existed, and filmmakers acknowledge
playing loose with some facts.
Though interesting, the subplot about
filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl (Carice
van Houten) documenting the games
feels extraneous. Owens’ story is more
than enough to fill the film. It’s too
much, really. “Race” only touches on
the friendship between him and his
German Olympic opponent, Carl
“Luz” Long (David Kross). A champion long-jumper, Long was to be the
Nazis’ ultimate symbol of Aryan perfection. He resists such characterization and befriends Owens, who
ultimately beats him to win gold. The
two defiantly linked arms in the
Olympic arena that day and remained
friends throughout their lives.
Directed by Stephen Hopkins,
“Race” suffers at times from an overly
earnest tone that veers into afterschool-special territory. Though James
and Sudeikis share some poignant moments, they also have some painfully
corny exchanges. An often heavyhanded score doesn’t help.
For all its flaws, “Race” is still an enjoyable and worthy film. Like most
sports biopics, the story of Owens’
athletic achievements is naturally inspiring. It’s great for the cinematic
landscape — and countless aspiring
track and field stars — for his story to
receive the Hollywood treatment
(though “Race” is actually a Canadian
and French production). Most valuable, though, is its reminder that the
hate personified by the Nazi regime —
the same racist hate that forced Owens
to use the service entrance to attend a
dinner in his honor after the Olympics
— remains a deadly scourge that
would erase future champions.
“Race,” a Focus Features release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “thematic elements and language.” Running time:
135 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Oregon lawmakers
approve landmark
minimum wage
increase
TESTS:
TCAP now set
for March 14-18
From Page 1
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon lawmakers have approved
landmark legislation that propels the state’s minimum
wage for all workers to the
highest rank in the U.S., and
does so through an unparalleled tiered system based on
geography.
The state House of Representatives on Thursday passed
Senate Bill 1532, which now
heads to Democratic Gov.
Kate Brown, who said in a
statement she will sign it into
law.
“I started this conversation
last fall, bringing stakeholders
together to craft a workable
proposal; one that gives working families the much-needed
wage boost they need, and addresses challenges for businesses and rural economies
presented by the two impending ballot measures,” Brown
said. The move makes Oregon
a trailblazer in the broader debate about minimum wage unfolding nationwide as the
federal threshold remains unchanged from Great Recession levels.
Oregon now joins 14 other
states that have raised their
rates over the past two years.
Another dozen or so are considering taking up the issue
this year, either through legislative action or ballot initiative, as issues of wage
inequality and middle-class
incomes have climbed to the
forefront of presidential campaigns by Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and
Hilary Clinton.
Review: SC Medicaid
agency exposed
data to
cybertheft risk
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) —
A federal report says South
Carolina’s Medicaid agency
exposed roughly 1 million
residents’ personal health information to risk of cybertheft
because of poor safeguards
and a four-decade-old computer system.
The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services’
findings released Friday include that the agency had no
security plan for its computer
system, had no encryption for
laptops and had not properly
trained employees. It notes inspectors found no evidence
that any hacking of Medicaid
data had occurred.
Medicaid agency Director
Christian Soura agrees with
the report’s recommendations
based on its 2013 evaluation.
He says the agency has already taken action on all of
the findings.
Soura says the state is in the
process of replacing its aged
computer system for paying
Medicaid providers.
U.S. checks foreign
border crossers with
eye scans
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tijuana businessman Marco
Cruz had grown accustomed
to the lengthy checks by U.S.
officials before entering the
United States, but he was surprised he now had to scan his
documents and stand in front
of a futuristic-looking machine that read his the iris of
his eye and facial features on
his way out of the country.
The federal government is
using biometric technology
for the first time to verify the
identities of foreigners leaving the United States on foot
— a trial move aimed at closing a longstanding security
gap, officials announced
Thursday.
Before now, foreigners who
left the country were rarely
checked by U.S. authorities as
they walked into Mexico or
Canada through ports of entry.
tent area we must cover, so there
won’t be any flexibility like we
would have had with the online
testing,” Kolbe said, referring to
the previous testing window that
was to have been open through
March 4, a longer time span that
was expected to benefit schools
due to fewer class interruptions.
“We’re going back to the way
we’ve always done it — with
paper and pencils.”
For grades 3-8, day one of testing will cover math, while days
two and three will focus on English language arts and social studies, respectively. Days four and
five will be make-up days.
At the high school level, day
one will be English 3 and integrated math 1; day two, English
1 and integrated math 2; day
three, English 2 and U.S. history;
and day four, integrated math 3.
Part II of the state assessment is
planned for late April and early
May and will include testing in
science.
Kolbe explained that TCAP is
the umbrella for all state-required
testing, including TNReady,
Achievement and End of Course
exams.
“In grades 3-11, TNReady
refers to math and English language arts only,” Kolbe said.
“Achievement (grades 3-8) and
End of Course (high school) are
science and social studies. Everything is under the TCAP umbrella.”
As for the online testing some
Putnam County schools were
able to complete before the Feb.
8 technology failure, Kolbe said
she hasn’t yet gotten word from
the state on what will become of
those results or whether or not
that portion will have to be retaken when paper tests are distributed March 14.
Kolbe said she feels Putnam
County is prepared to forge
ahead despite the unexpected
testing changes.
“Our teachers prepare students
for this state assessment all year
long,” she said. “We’re supposed
to teach them the standards... and
the assessments are alined to the
standards.
“So no matter how we take it or
what form we take it, we’re prepared for this.”
TAXES: Business
taxes due now too

we don’t have an auditor in

Pierce said sometimes business
owners under-report or over-report what equipment they have,
and he said his staff is willing to
help business owners complete
their forms.
If business owners don’t report
the equipment used in their businesses, Pierce said the state requires his office to complete a
“forced assessment,” which
means they look at a similar busi-
ness to determine what taxes
should be paid.
“A lot of people don’t realize
it’s due, and I can sympathize,”

Harper Lee, ‘To Kill
a Mockingbird’
author, has died at 89
By KENDAL WEAVER
and HILLEL ITALIE
Associated Press
Harper Lee, the elusive author
whose “To Kill a Mockingbird”
became an enduring best-seller
and classic film with its child’seye view of racial injustice in a
small Southern town, has died.
She was 89.
HarperCollins spokeswoman
Tina Andreadis confirmed the author’s death to The Associated
Press on Friday.
For most of her life, Lee divided
her time between New York City,
where she wrote the novel in the
1950s, and her hometown of
Monroeville, which inspired the
book’s fictional Maycombe.
“To Kill a Mockingbird,” published in 1960, is the story of a
girl nicknamed Scout growing up
in a Depression-era Southern
town.
A black man has been wrongly
accused of raping a white
woman, and Scout’s father, the
resolute lawyer Atticus Finch,
defends him despite threats and
the scorn of many.
Judge moves ‘affluenza’
teen’s case to adult court
By EMILY SCHMALL
Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —
A Texas judge ruled Friday that
the case of a teenager who used
an “affluenza” defense in a fatal
drunken-driving wreck will be
moved to adult court, meaning
the teen could face jail time for
the 2013 wreck that killed four
people.
Ethan Couch was 16 at the time
of the crash near Fort Worth.
During his juvenile trial, a defense expert invoked the term
“affluenza”
while
arguing
Couch’s wealthy parents had
coddled him into a sense of irresponsibility.
The Friday ruling means the 18year-old Couch could face 120
days in jail, then finish his 10year probation. But if he violates
his probation during that time, he
could get up to 10 years in prison
for each of the four people killed
in the accident.
The judge ordered that the case
be transferred before Couch turns
19 in April. Couch remains in
custody.
Couch and his mother disappeared in December, as prosecutors investigated whether he’d
violated his probation. They were
later found in Mexico and deported.
Couch was driving with a
blood-alcohol level three times
the legal limit for adult drivers
when he rammed a pickup truck
into a crowd of people trying to
help a stranded motorist on the
side of a road near Fort Worth.
The probation sentence handed
down by a juvenile court judge
outraged prosecutors, who had
called for him to face detention
time.

U.S. consumer prices
unchanged in January
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.
consumer prices were unchanged in January, as the rising costs of housing and health
care were largely offset by
cheaper oil.
But the annual pace of inflation showed signs of acceleration. The Labor Department
said Friday that prices have
risen 1.4 percent over the past
12 months, compared to a year
ago when annual inflation was
close to zero. Consumer prices
climbed at the fastest annual
rate since October 2014.
Core inflation, which excludes
volatile energy and food costs,
rose 0.3 percent in January.
Over the past 12 months, this
category closely watched by the
Federal Reserve has climbed
2.2 percent.
The rising tempo for inflation
follows a Fed decision in December to raise a key shortterm interest rate for the first
time in nearly a decade. But the
turmoil in the stock and bond
markets after the Fed rate hike
suggested to many investors
that inflation might barely
budge amid a slowing global
economy.
Jennifer Lee, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets,
said that January’s report on
consumer prices affirms the
Fed’s decision and raises the
potential for further rate increases later this year.
“In a way, this justifies the
December rate hike and keeps
the Fed at the rate hike table,”
she said.
The combination of a strong
dollar and cheaper oil has suppressed inflation across much
of the economy.
Gasoline prices at the pump
have dropped 24 percent over
the past year to a national average of $1.72 a gallon. At the
same time, economic growth
struggles worldwide have
pushed up the value of the dollar, making foreign imports
cheaper. But the rate of gasoline prices declining slowed in
January, weakening its down-
ward pull on inflation.
Housing expenses — which
account for a third of the consumer price index— have risen
3.2 percent from a year ago.
Medical services are up 3.3 percent.
In January, prices also rose on
a monthly basis for airfare,
clothing and autos, while food
expenses were flat.
The Fed is closely following
inflation, looking for assurance
that it will accelerate to 2 percent in its preferred measure.
That particular measure of personal consumption places less
of an emphasis on housing. It
posted a modest annual increase of 0.6 percent in December.
Fed officials have said they
are increasingly unsure about
the path of inflation after raising a key interest rate in December from a record low set in
late 2008. The quarter-point increase pushed the federal funds
rate from near zero to a range of
0.25 percent to 0.5 percent.

Livingston Academy’s Mikala Brown drives down
the court during the Lady Wildcats’ 77-54 victory
over Macon County in the District 8-AA tournament
on Thursday at the Hooper Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE — Two teams punched their
tickets to the Region 4-AA
tournament on Thursday
night as the Livingston Academy girls and the Smith
County boys advanced to the
semifinals of the District 8AA tournament at Tennessee
District
Tech’s Hooper Eblen Center.
Livingston
Academy
8-AA
cruised to a 77-54 victory
over Macon County.
“We had a pretty good celebration in the
locker room,” said LA girls head coach Lesley
Riddle. “It’s a great feeling to know we’re
moving on to the region tournament.”
Smith County rallied in the second quarter to
put itself in position for a 69-62 win over Cannon County.
“That was a tough game because Cannon had
already been on the floor once,” said SCHS
head coach John Sanders. “Our guys looked a
little tight early.”
Livingston Academy will play the winner of
tonight’s Smith County-Cannon County contest
at 3 p.m. on Saturday, while the SCHS boys
will play the winner of tonight’s Macon
County/Central Magnet game at 4:30 p.m. on
Saturday.
Also tonight, the York Institute girls take on
DeKalb County and the Livingston Academy
boys take on York for the right to face topseeded Upperman on Saturday night.
In Thursday’s girls contest, Livingston Academy jumped out to a big 24-8 lead after the first
quarter, then took a 34-16 lead at halftime. The
Lady ’Cats outscored the Tigerettes 26-18 in
the third, essentially sealing the victory.
“It was a good win,” Riddle said. “Sloppy, but
they were nervous, especially being here (at
Tennessee Tech). We came out aggressive and
it forced us into a few turnovers that I didn’t
like too much.”
Mikala Brown led LA (20-8) with 18 points,
while Jaci Baltimore added 16, and Keelie
Lamb and Leah Parker each scored 10.
“It was a great night for Jaci and Mikala,”
Riddle said, “and they were probably the two
most excited to be able to play here. Macon
County did a great job defending Keelie. Any
time she moved, she had two or three on her,
so it was good to see those other kids step up
and finish with a win.”

COOKEVILLE — With day one of
the District 6-AAA tournament in the
books, the White County Warriorettes
and the Cumberland County Jets have
advanced to the next round on Saturday and punched their tickets for the
regional tournament as the Warriorettes defeated Warren County 5649 and the Jets rolled over Rhea
County 80-64.
At the beginning of the night, it
looked like the Lady
Pioneers might shake
up the district with an
upset as they got the
scoring started off
with a 3-pointer from
Eckenrod and
District Else
finished the first quar6-AAA
ter with a 17-12 lead.
However, the Warriorettes found their groove and started
a lengthy run at the beginning of the
second quarter. By the 7:27 mark in the
second quarter, a layup plus the foul
from Hannah Leftwich extended their
run to 6-0 and gave the Warriorettes
their first lead at 18-17. When Warren
County finally broke the scoring
drought with a free throw, the Warriorettes had gone on a 15-1 run to give
themselves a 27-18 lead.
But the Lady Pioneers did not go
down without a fight. The Lady Pioneers managed to scrape six points together to reduce the difference to five
points by halftime at 29-24.
As the third quarter progressed, the
Warriorettes built the lead back up to
around 10 points and kept it into the
fourth.
The Lady Pioneers last ditch effort
came with around two minutes left in
the game when threes from Megan
Patch and Saydee Winfree cut the Warriorettes lead to four points at 51-47.
However, the Warriorettes played the
possesion game and made enough to
keep their lead up.
Allison Hitchcock led the Lady Pioneers with 14 points and was helped
out by a 12-point performance from
Eckenrod.

Jackson County’s McKenzie Flynn goes up for a layup against a Clarkrange defender during the
Lady Blue Devils’ 56-41 victory over the Lady Buffaloes on Thursday night in the District 7-A tournament at Livingston Academy. JCHS set up a championship showdown against Pickett County on
Monday night.
LIVINGSTON — The two teams who
finished atop the District 7-A regular season standings will also be battling it out
for a tournament championship. The No.

on the No. 2 seeded
Jackson County Lady
Blue Devils on Monday
night at 7:30 p.m. at Livingston Academy with
District

ment title on the line.
Both PCHS and JCHS
posted lopsided wins in Thursday night’s
semifinal matchups to advance to the
championship game. Pickett County
pounded the Clay County Lady Bulldogs
77-46 before Jackson County topped the
Clarkrange Lady Buffaloes 56-41.
The Lady Bobcats advance to the tourney championship for the second year in
a row after upsetting Jackson County in
last year’s semifinals. But, an ice storm hit
the Upper Cumberland this time last year,
cancelling the championship contest between PCHS and Clarkrange.
“We haven’t had a chance to win one.
We had a chance last year and it was
snowed out,” said Lady Bobcat head
coach Brent Smith. “It’s been 25 years
since we have won a championship game
and we just want to play in one. I told the
kids to cherish these moments.”
The Lady Blue Devils are also cherishing the opportunity to win yet another district title.
“We lost in this (semifinal) game last
year and it always seems to make you a
little more nervous when you get to that
step where you lost the previous year,”
said Lady Blue Devil head coach Jim
Brown. “I don’t think we played great, but
we played well enough to advance.”

and then we kind of battled back and
forth there in the third and fourth
quarter.”
“We’ve just got to do a better job of
finishing the game,” Dodgen continued, “making free throws, and doing a
better job defensively on the boards.
It’s only going to get tougher as we go
along. Cookeville is a very big basketball team with (Riley) Masters and
(Courtney) Savage down low. We’ve
got to focus on that between now and
Saturday afternoon, and get ready to
play Cookeville.”
In the nightcap, Rhea County fought
to keep it close in the first quarter, but
the Jets got on a roll and there was
nothing the Golden Eagles could do.
Cumberland County started the game
with a 9-2 run before Rhea County decided to fight their way back into it.
Near the end of the first quarter, the
of-4 free throws to lead the Warriorettes with 21 points. Leftwich
cleaned up the paint area as she put up
13 points and made all three of her free
throws.
“Any time you can make it to the
region tournament, you know you’ve
accomplished a lot as a program,”
commented White County head
coach Michael Dodgen, “because
that puts you in the final 32 of each
class. It was a good win for us
(Thursday night). As I expected,
Warren County came out and played
hard and gave us everything we
wanted, and they did that for four
quarters. They came out and kind of
threw the first punch. We survived it,
and then we battled back. We got
back into the lead there at the half,
Golden Eagles had cut the deficit all
the way down to one point, but the Jets
started a run that built their lead back
up to 20-13 by the end of the first quarter and continued into the second.
Gavin Stewart’s layup midway
through the second quarter finally
ended the Jets’ run at 16-4 making the
score 30-17. However, the Jets were
not done scoring there. Five 3-pointers
helped the Jets score 31 points in the
second quarter and go into halftime
with a big 51-31 difference.
Rhea County was able to cut into the
lead a little bit over the course of the
second half, but they could not overcome it as the Jets cruised to victory
with their bench in the game.
Rhea County was led by Stewart,
who scored 15 points, and Spencer
Robinson, who added 13 points and
made 7-of-8 free throws.
The Jets had four players break into
double-digit scoring.
Silas Clark had the most with 18
points, Josh Dykes scored a team-high
five 3-pointers for 15 points, and Lee
Hale and Nolan McClain added 11
points each.
“I was a good win,” commented
Cumberland County head coach Will
Foster. “ The kids came out, executed,
and did really well. We made some
shots. Some sophomores stepped up
and made a bunch of shots for us
tonight with Josh Dykes and Lee Hale
playing really well, but it was a total
team defensive effort. That’s what
wins ball games, and that’s what got us
over the hump.”
Both the Jets and the Warriorettes will
face off with Cookeville teams on Saturday when the next round of the tournament commences.

Cookeville has two wrestlers still alive at state
From staff reports
FRANKLIN — The first day of the
TSSAA individual state wrestling tournament has come to a close, and two of
Cookeville’s original six qualifiers remain in Hunter Harcum (106) and Derrick Christensen (138).
Harcum has started this tournament off
hot as he won both of his first two
matches on Thursday.
Harcum pinned his first
opponent in the second
period and fought for
an extremely close 4-3
decision victory against
his second opponent.
Harcum will move on to the quarterfinals
on Friday.
Christensen didn’t go undefeated but is
still alive. Christensen pinned his first opponent in the third period, but unfortunately, he lost a nail-biting 7-6 decision
in his second match, sending him to the
consolation brackets. His future in the
tournament came down to his third match
of the day, and he was able to pin his op-
ponent in the second period to stay alive.
Justin Rogers (113) was able to get a pin
in the second period of his first match, but
he lost tough decisions in his second two
matches to fall out of contention.
Ben Bos (152) didn’t start the day off
too hot with a technical fall loss in his
first match, but he clung to life as he
pinned his second opponent in the sec-
ond period. However, he ended up getting pinned in the first period of his third
match and the tournament ended for
him.
Jesse Saunders (145) and Dyllan Houser
(170) were not able to advance past the
first two rounds as they were both pinned
in the first period of their first matches
and lost decisions in the second round.

Rinne, Forsberg lead Predators over Bruins
By JIM DIAMOND
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) — Maybe all Pekka Rinne needed was a little
rest.
Rinne made 29 saves, Filip Forsberg had a goal and an assist and
the Nashville Predators beat the Boston Bruins 2-0 on Thursday
night.
Craig Smith also scored, and Mike Ribeiro had two assists to help
Nashville win for the second time in three games.
“They didn’t get much, but at the same time, I didn’t think we battled or we worked hard enough to get on the inside and for the longest
of time there, we just seemed to be playing on the outside and making
it easy for their goaltender to make those saves,” Boston coach
Claude Julien said.
Seeing his first action in nearly a week, Rinne was sharp throughout. He made his best save 8:39 into the second when he denied Brad
Marchand’s deflection from just outside of the crease. The shutout
was Rinne’s third of the season and 39th of his career.
“That was a big game and it feels really good,” Rinne said. “It’s
been a while since last shutout and it’s always a big win against
Boston. We’ve struggled at home a little bit and thinking about that,
that’s a big win too.”
Rinne is 4-0-1 in his career against Boston.
The Bruins have lost two of three. Tuukka Rask made 22 saves.
Carter Hutton started Nashville’s previous two games and got a win
and an overtime loss.
Smith scored the game’s first goal at 2:51 of the opening period.
From the right side, Forsberg slid a pass to Smith in the low slot,
where he lifted a wrist shot high to Rask’s stick side.
“We weren’t ready to play tonight, that was pretty evident,” Marchand said. “Unfortunately, that cost us the game. They came out a
lot harder than we did and got a couple of early ones while we were
sleeping. Ultimately, that cost us the game.”
Forsberg doubled the Nashville lead at 14:37 of the first.
Rask stopped defenseman Mattias Ekholm’s backhand attempt from
the low slot, but he kicked the rebound onto Forsberg’s stick in the
lower part of the right circle. From there, Forsberg had an easy putback for his 20th goal of the season.
Forsberg was a little surprised to see his fellow Swede shooting
from that spot.
“A little bit (surprised) actually,” Forsberg said. “I wanted it with a pass,
but he shot it on net and I found the rebound, so it was a good goal.”
Forsberg has six goals in his last six games.
Nashville killed Ekholm’s cross-checking penalty late in the third.
Rask was pulled for an extra attacker for nearly the full 2 minutes of
the power play.
Nashville blocked 20 shots in the game, 10 in the third period.
“Our guys have never shied away from blocking shots,” Nashville
coach Peter Laviolette said. “They’re good at it and they’re willing
to sacrifice their body. It’s big down the stretch. Six-on-4s are tough.”
NOTES
Ribeiro has posted two assists in two of his last three games. ...
Thursday was the fifth stop on Boston’s season-long six-game trip.
They conclude the trip Saturday in Dallas. ... Nashville won both
meetings between the teams this season.

No. 14 Kentucky
holds lead to beat
Tennessee
By GARY B. GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky’s
relatively close margin of victory than in
its previous three routs belied how it thoroughly controlled Tennessee.
The 14th-ranked Wildcats made long
shots, worked the boards and kept their
poise along with the lead — which of
course is the biggest difference from their
previous meeting against the Volunteers.
Jamal Murray scored 28 points, Derek
Willis made seven 3-pointers for a careerhigh 25 and Kentucky beat Tennessee 8070 on Thursday night for its fourth straight
victory.
Sixteen days after blowing a 21-point lead
in an 84-77 loss at Tennessee, the Wildcats
(20-6, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) held
their ground this time against the Volunteers. Kentucky stretched a six-point halftime lead to as many as 22 for another
double-digit win and has won by an average margin of 22.5 points during its streak.
“We’re defending better and we defended
way better than we did up there,” Wildcats
coach John Calipari said. “We still broke
down some, but we did a better job today.”
Murray’s 8-of-12 shooting, including three
from long range, helped set the tone for Kentucky before he sealed things at the free throw
line by making 9 of 10 attempts. The freshman tied a career high with nine rebounds.
Complementing Murray’s all-around
game was Willis, who has been on a roll
himself since becoming a starter nine games
ago. That confidence showed in particular
in the second half as he made five from behind the arc to help break the game open.
“I’ve just been trying to keep my feet set
and be more balanced,” said Willis, whose
seven 3s on 11 attempts were a career best.
“It paid off tonight and I hit my open shots.”
Kentucky’s 11 3-pointers marked the
fourth straight game with at least 10 from
long range, the fifth time the Wildcats have
done so in program history and first time
since 1993.
Armani Moore had 21 points and 11 rebounds and Kevin Punter Jr. added 19
points for Tennessee (12-14, 5-8), which
got within 10 points in the final minute but
really wasn’t that close in its third loss in
four games since upsetting Kentucky.
Tyler Ulis added 11 points and nine assists
for Kentucky, which shot 26 of 62 overall
(42 percent) but made 11 of 24 from long
range (46 percent).
“They shot it well. They play well,” Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said of the Wildcats. “John has his team really
understanding their roles. Their chemistry
is great and they know what they’re looking for.”
Right now, Kentucky’s quest is another
SEC title and the Wildcats took a big step
toward that end in gaining a one-game lead
over LSU. There’s still plenty of time for
upheaval with plenty of teams within striking distance of the top spot, but Kentucky
did what it had to do for one night with another test awaiting Saturday at Texas
A&M.
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee needed a big moment from an unlikely candidate to survive an upset
attempt from Mississippi.
Kortney Dunbar came off the bench and made two
critical baskets in the last two minutes Thursday
night as No. 24 Tennessee rallied to beat Ole Miss
57-51 after blowing a nine-point, fourth-quarter lead.
“We’re going to need her down the stretch,” Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said. “I think this is a
great start for her.”
Dunbar hit a layup to put the Lady Volunteers ahead
for good with 1:36 left. After Ole Miss turned the ball
over on its next possession, Dunbar sank a 3-pointer
to make it 55-51 with 1:05 remaining.
That represented quite a contribution for someone
who didn’t even enter the game until barely three
minutes remained. In fact, Dunbar hadn’t played at
all in five of the eight games leading up to this one.
“I know a lot of people say I might not get a lot of
playing time, so coming into clutch situations like that,
it might be kind of nerve-racking,” Dunbar said. “But
even in practice, when we’re doing situations and scenarios, I’m always the one shooting that last-second 3.”
Bashaara Graves had 15 points and 12 rebounds as
Tennessee (16-10, 7-6 SEC) beat Ole Miss (10-16,
2-11) for the 28th consecutive time. Shandricka Sessom scored 21 for Ole Miss, which has lost seven
straight.
Tennessee withstood the loss of starting center Mercedes Russell, who appeared to hurt her right ankle
barely two minutes into the game and never returned.
The Lady Vols also overcame a scoreless perform-
ance from Diamond DeShields, who entered the
night averaging a team-high 13.9 points per game.
Warlick had no immediate update on Russell’s condition.
After trailing 50-41 with 7½ minutes left, Ole Miss
went on a 10-0 run and took the lead on a pair of
Erika Sisk free throws with 2:39 remaining.
“We went zone, and I knew Tennessee had struggled
with the zone in some games,” Ole Miss coach Matt
Insell said. “It was kind of a desperation-type thing.”
Ole Miss led by one and had the ball with less than
two minutes left but failed to score. Tennessee’s Te’a
Cooper got the rebound off Shequila Joseph’s missed
shot and threw a long pass to Dunbar, who capped
the fastbreak with the layup that put the Lady Vols
ahead for good.

son with the Lady Bobcats coming out
on top in both matchups.
“I expect them to come at us hard on
both ends of the floor,” said Brown
about PCHS. “They just keep running
players in. We’ve got to figure out a
way to slow that down on both ends of
the floor. They have a great team and
we will have our work cut out for us.”
“They are going to do what they do
and they have been here a lot,” said
Smith about JCHS. “They are seasoned.”
The Lady Bobcats (23-2) looked like
a team of seasoned veterans against
Clay County. With the help of a
smothering full-court press, PCHS
jumped out to a 12-point lead (20-8)
in the first quarter before the Lady
Bulldogs cut it to eight (22-14) early
in the second quarter. A 9-1 spurt by
Pickett County, which was capped by
an Abbi Buck jumper, pushed the
Lady Bobcat lead to 16 (31-15) with
2:58 left in the first half. After settling
on a 15-point (38-23) halftime advantage, Pickett County put the contest
away by scoring the first 18 points of
the second half to go up 56-23. A Taylor Strong 3-pointer halted the run, but
it was too little, too late for CCHS.
Pickett led 66-32 after three quarters
of play before settling on the 31-point
loss.
“That’s game No. 1 in the postseason, so that’s important,” said Smith.
“I thought we gave good effort. We
missed some easy stuff early and they
went on a run, but I thought our subs
really came in and played well.”
Courtney Pritchett paced the way for
Pickett County with 19 points while
Jayna Ferrell and Buck added 12 each.
Savannah Hammock also scored in
double figures with 10.
“That’s something we’ve done well
lately is pass the ball around and share
it really well,” said Smith. “Some of
our scorers didn’t score like they did
earlier in the year, but they shared the
ball around. We had some more people step up. We are unselfish and that’s

something to be proud of.”
Clay County (15-12) had three players score in double figures. Taylor
Strong tallied 13 with Kenzie Arms
netting 12 and Bethany Sherrell 10.
The Lady Bulldogs will play in the
consolation game on Monday, taking
on Clarkrange at 6 p.m.
The Lady Buffaloes (15-13) tried to
stay within single digits of Jackson
County in the first half and early into
the third quarter. After trailing by as
much as 16 in the fourth quarter, CHS
climbed back to within eight (49-41)
before the Lady Blue Devils scored
the last seven points of the game to
claim a 15-point win.
“You have to give Clarkrange a lot of
credit, they could have laid down and
quit several times,” said Brown.
“They just kept coming at us. We did
enough to get by.”
McKenzie Flynn did a lot for Jackson County in the early going. The
senior point guard recorded 13 of her
game-high 17 points in the first half,
including 10 in the first quarter.
“It just kind of happened,” said
Flynn. “It was my night tonight. It will
be someone else’s night the next time
we play. We just want to win. It’s win
or go home.”
The Lady Blue Devils (20-4) never
trailed in the contest. JCHS jumped
out to an 8-0 lead and was up six (137) after the first eight minutes of play.
Jackson County maintained a sevenpoint edge (24-17) at halftime and
pushed the advantage to 17 (42-25) in
the third quarter when fellow seniors
Kassidy Allen and Cameron Sherrell
started to get hot on the offensive end.
Allen tallied six of her 13 points, and
grabbed nine rebounds, while Sherrell
scored 10 of her 13 points during the
third frame.
“When they pressed us, Kassidy got
out in the open floor and she did a
good job of finishing,” said Brown.
Clarkrange closed the gap to eight
(49-41) when Katelin Beaty hit a pair
of free throws with 3:42 to play. JCHS
responded with a pair of baskets from
Bella Wilmoth and free throws from
Kaitlyn Pippin and Flynn.
“McKenzie has been so solid for us
all year,” said Brown. “You are in
good shape when you have a senior
point guard, especially when she is as
good and smart as she is.”
Gracie Bush led Clarkrange with 13
points while Charity Crabtree added
12.
