Jobless rate plummets to 4.2%
Bradley County hits lowest mark since May 2007

Spring forward
Daylight saving time begins
when the clock strikes 2 a.m.
Sunday. Turn those clocks forward one hour before bedtime
Saturday night. Those who
don’t may be late everywhere
they go Sunday.
Anchored by surprisingly strong hiring
in construction and manufacturing,
Bradley County weathered the normally
topsy-turvy transition into a new year by
posting its lowest unemployment rate in
almost nine years at 4.2 percent.
The January mark, which analysts
agree was supposed to go up based on seasonal trends, instead represents a significant drop from 4.9 percent in December.
The low jobless figure is Bradley
County’s most promising performance
since May 2007, when the rate hit 4 percent.
“In January, the seasonal trend is that
we normally see an increase,” according to
Larry Green, labor market analyst for the
Tennessee Department of Labor and
Workforce Development. “We traditionally
see a bump-up in the numbers and that’s
due to expected layoffs in retail trade.”
As if on cue, the retail trade layoffs —
temporary workers who are hired in
October and November in preparation for
the holiday rush but who then see those
jobs fizzle in January — did occur.
However, unexpected hiring in the con-
struction and manufacturing industries
easily offset the loss of temporary jobs,
Green explained.
“Bradley, and a number of other counties across the state, have done really well
starting off the year,” Green said. “That’s
why I don’t ever try to predict what the
unemployment rates will do.”
Green said he can crunch the numbers,
study the “what ifs” and “buts,” and try to
make sense of trends, but in the end he
can’t predict what will actually happen.
The drop in January’s unemployment
rate testifies as to why.
“Bradley County had some really good
hiring,” he said. “Construction and manufacturing did very well. We did see the
expected layoffs in retail trade from the
holiday season, but the impact was not as
great this time.”
That’s because of Bradley County’s
ongoing economic development — construction — activity and the increased
demand for products manufactured here,
Green said.
“On the whole, January was a really
good month for Bradley County,” he noted.
“The rate here even came in under both

Veterans home envisioned
‘This is a great day, a day that will live on
for generations here in Bradley County’
By JOYANNA LOVE
Banner Senior Staff Writer
The anticipation has mounted for this
day to mark a major milestone for the
Cleveland Bradley County State Veterans
Home.
The official acceptance of the future site
was celebrated this morning as state and
local leaders gathered on the property.
While the state acceptance means much
progress has been made, a major final step,
securing federal funding for the site, still
remains.
Tennessee Department of Veterans
Services Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder
and Tennessee Department of General
Services Deputy Commissioner John Hull
were present for the occasion.
Others participating in the ceremony
were state Reps. Kevin Brooks (R-Cleveland)
and Dan Howell (R-Georgetown), state Sens.
Todd Gardenhire (R-Chattanooga), and
Mike Bell (R-Riceville), Cleveland Mayor
Tom Rowland, Bradley County Mayor D.
Gary Davis, land donors Steve Williams,
Thomas Williams and Robert Wright,
trustees of the American Legion Post 81
and Southeast Tennessee Veterans Home
Council co-chairs Cid Heidel and Mark
Hall, with fellow council members.

LARRY McDARIS, director of Bradley
County Veterans Services, received a lapel
pin from Tennessee Department of
Veterans Services Commissioner ManyBears Grinder at today’s acceptance of the
site for the future Cleveland Bradley
County State Veterans Home.
Such a ceremony to officially accept the
site is unique to Bradley County’s project,
according to Howell.
“They decided to do a formal acceptance,
which is not something they usually do,”
Howell said. “Usually, the land is accepted
by the state department of real estate (and
asset management), it is just put on the
rolls and they move on from there. But she
(Grinder) felt like it was appropriate that we
have a formal acceptance and a ceremony
because of the extremely hard work that
has been put into this.”
In anticipation of today’s events, many of
the attendees reflected on just what this
means for the project, and how far determination of local partners and cooperation
with state departments have carried the
project.
Some have been there since the beginning of these efforts a decade ago.
“This is a another major step,” Davis
said. “When we get the federal funding, we
will be ready to go.”
Discussion of bringing a veterans home
to Bradley County began in 2005, spearheaded by John Simmons, a disabled U.S.
veteran who was active in the community.
In 2007, the efforts became solidified.
Davis said Simmons, came to his office
saying there was a person in the community who wanted to donate to having a state
veterans home in Bradley County.
“I will never forget that,” Davis said.

The Bradley County Board of
Education has passed a resolution explaining how religion is
supposed to be addressed in the
school system’s social studies
classes.
In addition to outlining how
students have rights to their own
religious beliefs,
it “requests the
Director
of
Schools to develop multiple curr i c u l a r
resources for the
instruction of
social studies”
— with a few
Lillios
instructions on
how to proceed.
Curricula would be designed
with “historical context of religious impact on world, national
and state history,” with input
from teachers and other school
system staff. The resolution also
requires that “no memorization
or recitation of religious doctrine
or tenants be required of any
student in Bradley County
Schools.”
The vote Thursday evening
was unanimous, with only 7th
District board member Charlie
Rose absent.
During a work session which
took place Tuesday night, board
members debated whether or not
they should seek public input on
the issue of religion in school
curricula.
The
resolution
passed
Thursday said the board plans
to hold at least one public forum
on the issue, with the exact date
to be determined. It also notes
that Tennessee’s standards for
social studies are currently up
for review, and the members of

JROTC rifle team sends
2 members to nationals By CHRISTY ARMSTRONG Banner Staff Writer
Students on the Army Junior
Reserve Officer Training Corps
rifle team at Bradley Central
High School recently brought
home several trophies from
regional competitions, and two
of the skilled shooters will soon
be heading to a national competition.
The chapter is now ranked
fifth in the Southeast and is
10th in the nation in rifle
shooting — one of out of all the
JROTC chapters in the entire
country.
“It’s been unbelievable,” said
Army Lt. Col. Chris Ingle, the
“What we’ve done in
just four years has
been amazing.”

PeoPle PrAy in front of ancestors’ grave as black plastic bags
containing radiation contaminated waste are piled in the background,
in Futaba, Fukushima prefecture, northern Japan Friday. Japan on teresa yvonne Adams
Teresa Yvonne Wilson Adams,

more than 18,000 people and left a devastated coastline along the 54, went home to be with the
Lord on Monday, March 7, 2016.

Japan marks the 5th
anniversary of tsunami
RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan (AP)
— Japanese gathered in Tokyo
and along the country’s ravaged
northeast coast to observe a
moment of silence at 2:46 p.m.
Friday, exactly five years after a
magnitude-9.0
earthquake
struck offshore, triggering a devastating tsunami that killed more
than 18,000 people and sent
reactors at the Fukushima
nuclear plant into meltdown.
Some teared up as they held
hands or bowed their heads in
prayer as sirens sounded on a
chilly afternoon in northern
Japan. Japanese Emperor
Akihito, Empress Michiko and
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, all in
formal wear, led a ceremony in
Tokyo attended by officials and
survivors.
“Many of the people affected by
the disaster are aging, and I
worry that some of them may be
suffering alone in places where
our eyes and attention don’t
reach,” Akihito said. “It is important that all the people keep their
hearts together so that not a single person still in difficulty is
overlooked and they can return
to normal life as soon as possible.”
Five years on, the most heavily
damaged communities have yet
to be rebuilt. About 180,000 people are still displaced, including
those reluctant to return to
homes in Fukushima. Much of
the disaster-hit Tohoku coast
remains empty except for huge
mounds of dirt that are raising
the ground to minimize the risk
of future tsunami before any
rebuilding.
Abe acknowledged that many
people are still struggling, but
said “reconstruction is steadily
making progress, step by step,
with housing being rebuilt and
jobs regained.”
His Cabinet approved on
Friday a new 6.5 trillion yen ($57
billion) five-year reconstruction
plan through 2020 to speed up
construction of public housing
for evacuees, and for medical
care, infrastructure, tourism promotion and other projects.
At a Buddhist temple in the
tsunami-ravaged
city
of
Rikuzentakata, memorial prayers
were offered for the more than
1,700 residents who perished,
including about 200 whose bodies were never recovered.
“The best thing would be for
things to go back as they were,
but of course that’s not how the
world works,” said 37-year-old
Tadayuki Kumagai, who lost his
parents. He considers himself
fortunate, because their bodies
were found.
“Even if it’s impossible to go
back to the way things were
before the disaster, everyone
hopes that living standards will
at least come closer to what they
were,” he said. “I think that’s
what rebuilding means.”
Housing is an acute problem,
with some still in temporary
quarters, said Zuishu Sugawara,
the temple’s chief monk. Fortyseven members of the temple are
among the missing.
“In form, perhaps reconstruction might happen, but in terms
of recovering from the scars of
the heart...” he said, pausing. “I
think there are some who might
never heal.”
Early in the day, a handful of
people paid respects in the town
of Minamisanriku at the skeletal
remains of the former disaster
prevention center, where 43
workers died as tsunami waves
engulfed the three-story building.
Masaki Kamei, a doctor from
Tokyo who has been visiting the
disaster areas every year, said he
senses a change.
“What’s different this year
compared to last year is fishermen have already gone out fishing by dawn ... and towns are
already bustling about going on
with their business,” he said.
“There is an expression: the hammering sound of reconstruction.
That’s how I feel, I sense the
emphasis has shifted.”
Still, it seems a long road
ahead before the streets of
coastal communities will be lined
with homes and shops again.

U.S. secretary: Teddy bear’s inspiration off ‘threatened’ list
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The
Louisiana black bear, the animal
behind the “teddy’s bear” inspired
by President Theodore Roosevelt,
has rebounded enough to pull it off
the list of federally protected
species, the government says.
U.S. Interior Secretary Sally
Jewell heralded the “recovery of a
species” Thursday, though groups
that have worked for decades to
protect the bears disagreed or had
doubts.
The black bear, which once
roamed Texas, Mississippi and
Louisiana, is now found in two
parts of eastern Louisiana and in
one place along the coast. Its
removal from the federal list means
the state will now take over work to
protect it.
Jewell spoke at the Tallulah
office of the Tensas River National
Wildlife Refuge, where Louisiana’s
biggest black bear population is
found. Reporters elsewhere listened by phone as she described
how Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot a
tied-up Louisiana black bear for a
hunt trophy in 1902 inspired teddy
bears.
Jewell said she got to hold a rescued 7-week-old cub that morning.
“The work’s not over,” she said.
“The work’s really just beginning
to bring back more of these hardwoods so Louisiana can help enjoy

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) —
Nancy Reagan called her husband’s presidential library “the
shining city on the hill,” using a
phrase that President Reagan
had borrowed from history to
describe his aspirations for the
nation.
Inseparable in life, they will be
reunited again on that hilltop,
side by side.
The former first lady will be
buried beside her “Ronnie” Friday
at the library they loved, after
being mourned and celebrated by
family and hundreds of friends
from Hollywood, Washington and
beyond in a private service.
She was “just a beautiful lady,”
said John Sandoval, who with his
wife, mother and infant daughter
joined a crowd of over 1,000
Thursday at the library to see the
flower-draped casket.
“I think it was just the unity
they shared through his governorship, through his presidency,
that brought people together,”
Sandoval added.
Forecasters warned that
Thursday’s brilliant skies could
be replaced by thunderstorms
and wind. A tent was erected over
the site of the service.
The
sprawling,
Spanish
Mission-style library is located
between the Reagan’s post-White
House home in the upscale Bel
Air section of Los Angeles and
Rancho del Cielo, the “ranch in
the sky” where the Reagans spent
their leisure time, sometimes on
horseback, in the rugged mountains near Santa Barbara.
The guest list for the funeral
tells a story about their lives,
which stretched from Hollywood’s
Golden Age to the California
statehouse during Reagan’s time
as governor to the Washington
Beltway. Four of the five living
first ladies and relatives of every
president dating to John Kennedy
were expected to attend.
It will bring together Democrat
and Republican, an unusual
tableau at a time of deep division
in Washington and the 2016 campaign trail. Hillary Clinton plans
to take a break from the presidential campaign to attend, and
other politicians on the list cover
the political spectrum, from Newt
Gingrich to Nancy Pelosi.

Ford makes police car doors
that stop armor-piercing bullets
DETROIT (AP) — It’s a first for
police cars: Doors that can protect
against armor-piercing bullets.
Ford will soon be offering the
doors on its Police Interceptor
sedans and SUVs. They’ll be the
first in the U.S. to meet the Justice
Department’s highest standard for
body armor, the equivalent of a
bulky SWAT team vest.
The doors are designed to stop a
.30-caliber bullet shot from a
high-powered rifle like an AK-47.
That’s more powerful ammunition
than many soldiers carry.
Ford has offered factoryinstalled ballistic panels on its
police car doors since 2008. But
previous versions protected
against handgun fire and nonarmor piercing bullets. Between 5
percent and 10 percent of police
vehicles Ford sells have the
optional ballistic protection,
which costs around $1,500 per
door.
But Randy Freiburger, a Ford
engineer who works with police
customers, said the company was
getting frequent requests for better protection, particularly from
police in the Middle East and
Eastern Europe. So engineers
starting working on upgraded
panels.
“In some places outside the
U.S., they face the armor-piercing
threat on a daily basis,” Freiburger
said. “This is the price of entry for
those markets.”
Ford was also facing pressure
from its rivals. Dodge began
offering non-armor piercing protection on police versions of the
Charger in 2012. Ford controlled
60 percent of the U.S. police vehicle market in 2015.
Other automakers, including
Land Rover and Audi, make vehicles from high-strength steel that
can protect against armor-piercing bullets. But the cost would
likely be out of reach for most
police departments. The armored
Range Rover Sentinel, which is
not sold in the U.S., starts at
$569,000. A Ford Police
Interceptor SUV — which is
based on an Explorer — starts
around $30,000.
Ford’s ballistic panels — which
cover most of the door — have
two layers. The outside is made
from ballistic-grade ceramic tile.
When a bullet hits the tile, it disperses the energy and starts to
break the bullet into pieces. The
inner layer is made from aramid
fiber, which is the same material
used for Kevlar. The fiber catches
the shrapnel from the bullet.
If bullets strike twice in the
same spot, which is rare, the
panels will still offer some protection, Ford says.
Freiburger said increasing the
ballistic protection was an engineering challenge. The composition of the ceramic tile and the
interior fiber had to be changed.
The doors also weigh more, so
engineers had to make sure that
the hinges would hold them.
Ford will continue offering both
non-armor piercing and armorpiercing doors for departments
with different needs. Pricing for
the upgraded protection hasn’t
been announced.
The doors aren’t available to
the public. In fact, they’re
destroyed when police cars are
scrapped so they can’t get into
criminals’ hands.
Freiburger said the car windows do not have ballistic protection because it significantly
increases the weight of the glass.
Bulletproof glass could also make
it more difficult to get injured
people out of a patrol car.
Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of
Police Organizations, said police
are frequently targeted when
they’re in their cars, so they will
likely welcome the more
advanced protection.
TENNESEE BRIEFS
German condiments company
coming to Dyersburg
DYERSBURG (AP) — State officials say Develey Mustard &
Condiments Corp. is bringing its
first North American production
facility to Dyersburg.
Officials said Thursday that
Develey will invest $20 million in
the new operation, creating 150
jobs in Dyer County over the next
five years.
Based
in
Unterhaching,
Germany, Develey makes mustards, dressings and sauces,
exporting to more than 50 countries.
Develey
distributes
Tabasco, Kikkoman, Patak’s, Del
Monte and Gatorade products in
several countries.
Officials said renovations on a
100,000 square-foot facility will
begin in April and are expected to
be complete by the end of the
year.
Michael Durach, the company’s
chairman of the board, said in a
statement released by the state
that Develey evaluated sites in
four states and chose Dyersburg
after “analyzing all numbers and
considering the community.”
IRS has over $17M unclaimed
Tenn. tax refunds from 2012
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Internal Revenue Service says it
has over $17 million in unclaimed
refunds for Tennessee residents
who failed to file a 2012 tax
return.
The law provides taxpayers
with a three-year window to claim
a refund, but those wishing to collect must file their 2012 returns
no later than April 18.
There is no penalty for filing a
late return that qualifies for a
refund.
IRS spokesman Mark Green
said in a news release that the
estimated median unclaimed
refund for tax-year 2012 in
Tennessee is $702.
If no return is filed to claim a
refund within three years, the
money becomes property of the
U.S. Treasury.
Tax forms and instructions are
available at the IRS.gov website
on the forms and publications
page, or by calling 1-800-TAXFORM.

Hospital employees honored for
helping subdue fleeing inmate
KINGSPORT (AP) — Two
Kingsport hospital employees
have been awarded plaques for
helping subdue an inmate who
tried to escape custody.
The Kingsport Times-News
reports Christopher Light was
arrested in January on charges
related to several robberies. Once
in jail, he feigned chest pains and
was taken to Indian Path Medical
Center for evaluation.
According to police, as an officer was reapplying handcuffs,
Light shoved a bed at him. A
struggle ensued with Light using
the officer’s chemical spray. Light
was subdued with the help of CT
scan technician Keri Spears and
hospital security officer Josh
Crosby.
On Thursday, Spears and
Crosby received plaques from
Sullivan County Sheriff Wayne
Anderson.
He praised the pair for risking
their own safety to help an officer.
Schools closed, roads flooded in
West Tennessee due to rain
JACKSON (AP) — Schools shut
down early and roads were closed
Thursday due to flooding caused
by heavy rain throughout West
Tennessee.
The National Weather Service
says 3 to 10 inches of rain has
fallen in counties along the
Mississippi River in West
Tennessee, eastern Arkansas and
north Mississippi since late
Tuesday, flooding roads, parking
lots and fields. The flood threat is
expected to continue into Friday,
as another 1 to 3 inches of rain
could fall in the Mississippi Delta
region, meteorologist Scott McNeil
said.
Flood warnings were in effect
for much of the region. No weather-related injuries were immediately reported.
“Everything is saturated and
rivers and creeks are already
high,” McNeil said.
Schools were closed by 11 a.m.
in Gibson and Madison counties.
Marty Clements, emergency management director in Madison
County, said county schools were
closed early to allow parents and
bus drivers to get children home
safely in case of major flooding.
Three women were evacuated
by the Jackson Fire Department
from two homes located near a
creek that overflowed, Clements
said. Officials were monitoring
two subdivisions in Jackson
where high water was becoming a
problem, Clements said.
Dozens of roads in Madison,
Shelby and Tipton counties were
closed. In Memphis, felled trees
became road obstacles and a
small mudslide caused the partial
closure of a busy road that runs
along the Mississippi River.
Officials are urging motorists to
avoid trying to drive through high
water with the message “turn
around, don’t drown.”
Man convicted in triple homicide
at Knoxville homeless camp
KNOXVILLE (AP) — A Knox
County jury has found a man
guilty in the slayings of three people at a homeless camp in
Knoxville.
Prosecutor Charme P. Allen
says in a news release that 30year-old Joshua H. Cool was convicted Thursday on two counts of
first degree murder and one count
of criminally negligent homicide.
Cool was given an automatic life
sentence for each count.
Allen says that in April 2013,
Cool and two co-defendants
strangled and beat three victims
to death in a Knoxville homeless
camp.
Twenty-eight-year-old
Collin Colbert, 29-year-old Ryan
Gorney and 32-year-old Grace
Standridge were all killed.
Investigators were unable to
determine a motive for the
killings.
Co-defendant Hope Warvi
struck a plea deal to lesser murder charges.
NASHVILLE (AP) — An effort to
update Tennessee’s car seat
rules that had been headed for
Gov. Bill Haslam’s signature was
pulled back for renewed debate
in the House on Tuesday over
questions about whether it would
increase the age that children
would be required to ride in
booster seats.
The chamber voted 64-26 to
recall the bill sponsored by
Democratic Rep. John Ray
Clemmons of Nashville that easily passed both chambers earlier
in the week. At issue is whether
children need to ride in booster
seats until age 8 or age 12.
Clemmons argued that the 12year-old rule is already in state
law unless children are taller
than 4 feet 9 inches. But House
Republicans argued the most
common interpretation by law
enforcement and the public is
that the booster seat requirement
ends at age 8.
“When you have a child that’s
12 years old and 4 foot 9 inches,
putting them in a car seat
doesn’t make much sense —
they’re big enough to sit in a seat
belt,” said Rep. Rick Womick, RMurfreesboro. “It’s government
trying to stick in their hand and
fix something that’s not broke.”
Clemmons said the main point
of his bill was to extend the time
that toddlers must sit in rearward-facing car seats from 1year-old to 2-years-old in keeping with what he called “the
accepted national safety standard that keeps children from
getting decapitated and thrown
through the windshield.”
The rest of his bill merely clarified existing booster seat laws
for older children, he said.
Clemmons said he worries that
if the bill is sent back to committee, opponents will work to “gut
the law that’s in place, and send
our state safety back 50 years.”
House Republican Caucus
Chairman Glen Casada of
Franklin said that several members had heard from constituents
who complained of “government
overreach” and that the measure
Ford establishing subsidiary
to invest in new mobility
DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor
Co. said Friday that it is establishing a Silicon Valley-based
subsidiary to build and invest in
new mobility options like carsharing and ride-hailing services.
Ford Smart Mobility LLC will
be chaired by former Steelcase
CEO Jim Hackett, who has been
a member of Ford’s board since
2013. Hackett resigned his board
seat Friday to lead the new company. Ford Smart Mobility plans
to name a CEO in the near
future.
The company will operate in
Palo Alto, California, and Ford’s
hometown
of
Dearborn,
Michigan.
Ford CEO Mark Fields said the
company will be “separate but
connected” to its parent. Fields
said Ford won’t initially include
the company in its financial
reporting, but may do so once it’s
more firmly established.
“We wanted to make sure give
it the freedom and the flexibility
to move almost like tech companies do,” Fields told The
Associated Press.
Ford Smart Mobility will build,
design and invest in services like
car-sharing or ride-hailing. Ford
has already conducted more than
30 global experiments over the
last 14 months, including
GoDrive, a car sharing program
with guaranteed parking in
London, and Bridj, a van service
in Kansas City that users can
summon with a smartphone.
The research and design of
autonomous vehicles and vehicle
connectivity will remain with the
parent company, Fields said.
Fields said Hackett, who spent
30 years at office furniture maker
Steelcase, helped transform the
industry, in part by predicting
the end of traditional cubicles.
would be a financial burden on
families with young children.
“It’s a proper action that we’re
taking just to recall it, refer it to
a committee on Monday and redebate it to make sure we did not
make a mistake,” Casada said.
The Senate version of the bill
sponsored by Sen. Sara Kyle, DMemphis, on a 32-0 vote on
Monday. The House passed it on
a 68-19 vote later the same day.
“It wasn’t political, it wasn’t
controversial,” Clemmons said.
“This bill was simply to update
our child safety seat laws with
national safety standards. That’s
it.”

Snacks nation: Food makers turning everything into snacks
NEW YORK (AP) — There are
no meals anymore, only snacks.
As around-the-clock grazing
upends the way people eat,
companies are reimagining
foods that aren’t normally seen
as snacks to elbow in on the
trend. That means everything
including grilled chicken, cereal, chocolate, peanut butter and
even Spam are now being marketed as snacks.
Some are trying to jump into
the party by playing up protein.
Meat processing giant Tyson
launched Hillshire Snacking
this year with packs of cut-up
chicken that people are supposed to grab and eat with their
hands (120 calories per pack).
Canned meat maker Hormel is
testing “Spam Snacks,” which
are dried chunks of the famous
meat in re-sealable bags (220
calories per bag).
People with a sweet tooth
aren’t being forgotten. After
years of slumping cereal sales,
Kellogg recently introduced
Kellogg’s To Go pouches, which
hold slightly larger pieces of
cereal the company says were
“specifically created to be eaten
by hand” (190 calories per
pouch, which is comparable in
size to a bag of potato chips).
Even Hershey is trying to
become more of a snacks player
with “snack mixes” that seem
like trail mix, except with
Reese’s peanut butter cups and
mini chocolate bars (280 calories per package).
“People are snacking more
and more, sometimes instead of
meals, sometimes with meals,
and sometimes in between
meals,” said Marcel Nahm, who
heads North American snacks
for Hershey.
He said Hershey’s research
shows some people snack “10
times a day.”
Snacking has been encroaching on meals for years, of
course, fueled in part by the
belief that several smaller meals
a day are better than three big
ones. Snacks now account for
half of all eating occasions, with
breakfast and lunch in particular becoming “snackified,”
according to the Hartman
Group, a food industry consultancy.
Hints from Heloise
Draining your energy
AP Photo
Two PAcks of Hillshire Snacking Grilled Chicken Bites are arranged for a photo in New York. Meat
processing giant Tyson launched the 120-calorie packs. As around-the-clock grazing upends the way
people eat, companies are reimagining foods that aren’t normally seen as snacks to elbow in on the
trend.
But more recently, the blurring lines are making people
reach for snacks with benefits
they might otherwise get from a
meal, like protein or fiber. That
has led to ingredients like
chickpeas, lentils and quinoa
popping up in snacks. And it’s
inspiring some companies to try
and transform everyday foods
into more exciting snacks.
Snacks can have good profit
margins, too. Prices will vary
depending on the retailer, but
the suggested retail price for a
snack pack of Hillshire’s grilled
chicken is $2.49, while
Kellogg’s To Go pouch sells for
about $2.
Kellogg is also marketing regular bowls of cereal as a latenight snack, and says it can do
more to push Pop-Tarts as an
anytime snack. Hormel recently
introduced Skippy P.B. Bites,
which are candy-like balls of
peanut butter marketed as filling treats for kids.
A serving has 160 calories
and 8 grams of sugar, with each
canister containing six servings. The canister costs around
$3.50 and isn’t supposed to be
a single snack, but Hormel
president Jim Snee says “unfortunately it can end up being
that.”
Prescribing an ideal eating
pattern for everyone is difficult
given people’s varying lifestyles,
said Claudia Zapata, a registered
dietitian in San Antonio, Texas.
But she noted that snacks
should generally be 250 calories
at most and are meant to tide
people over between meals.
“Well, that was the point of
snacks back then. I don’t know
what the point is now,” she
said.
Zapata noted there is a lot of
mindless eating going on, and
that people should stop and ask
themselves whether they’re
even hungry before diving into a
snack. “It may be that you just
need water,” she said.
For food makers, the bigger
priority seems to be delivering
maximum convenience so people can eat wherever and whenever the spirit moves them.
“I don’t like things that have
to be assembled,” said Bridget
Callahan, a part-time student
and freelance writer in
Wilmington, North Carolina
who says she snacks six or
seven times a day.
Callahan says she picks
snacks like protein bars and
oranges that she can carry
around in her purse.
The various efforts to court
snackers may not succeed over
the long term, but Kellogg
promises that the pouches for
its cereal snacks are “ergonomically designed to allow fingers
to easily access the food” and
Hershey describes its snack
mixes as perfect for “one-handed eating.”
And while it may seem odd to
snack on meat with bare hands,
Hillshire says its research
shows people don’t mind.
“The meat is quality meat, so
people would take it and dip it
with their fingers,” said Jeff
Caswell, general manager of
Hillshire Snacking.
Already, Caswell said the
company is looking at turning
other meats into portable finger
foods.

Recycling an old seam ripper
Dear Heloise: I have an old
seam ripper that’s dull and useless
when it comes to sewing. I now
have it in my kitchen, where I use
it anytime I need to peel off a label
from a can or container.
It’s definitely much safer than a
sharp knife or a pair of scissors. —

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) —
Pennsylvania is turning to the
Declaration of Independence to
inspire its new tourism motto.
State officials unveiled the slogan “Pennsylvania. Pursue Your
Happiness” and a logo on
Tuesday at a winery in Somerset
County.
The state’s already spent
$250,000 on research and brand
development, and plans to
expend another $500,000 to
implement it.
The slogan takes the place of
“The State of Independence,” the
winner from among 22,000 submissions in a 2004 contest.
Before that, state tourism slogans
were
“Pennsylvania
Memories Last a Lifetime,”
‘’You’ve Got a Friend in
Pennsylvania,” and “America
Starts Here.”

Bandanas on pets
Dear Heloise: I have five furry
friends, and four of them require
regular groomer’s visits. My “alpha
male” is a white schnauzer (Tyler),
and on occasion, he can get a bit
furry before he finally gets
groomed.
The groomer likes to put a small
bandana around their necks after
grooming. Every time Tyler got
groomed, the other dogs would go
CRAZY, barking, growling and
chasing him all around the yard. I
just thought they didn’t recognize
him.
On his most recent visit, he
came home and got the same reaction, and that’s when it hit me! I
wondered if the bandana was the
culprit. So on instinct, I took it off,
and lo and behold, they stopped
and went about their business as
usual.
No cute bandana for Tyler! —

Dear Readers: Did you know
that the average household has at
least 25 electronic devices! That’s
only the average — some have a lot
more POWER VAMPIRES! They
drain energy even when not in use!
If you aren’t using it daily,
unplug it! Most items that have a
digital clock, timers, etc., pull
power (even when turned off), thus
adding to your electric bill.
Check spare bedrooms, bathrooms and the garage. You’d be
surprised at what you can “pull
the plug on.”
If you have to keep electronics,
like a computer, plugged in, put it
in sleep mode. Your computer will
power down and use less electricity.
Use power strips for multiple
appliances, especially in the

them all at once with just a flip of
a switch. — Heloise
P.S.: I did a quick walk-through
only in the kitchen, den, studio

know what I’ll be doing this weekend: Walking through each room
and taking a count. Power strips —
the more the merrier.

going through airports, riding on

or just walking through crowds,

Coroner: Man killed in
officer-involved shooting in Biloxi
BILOXI,
Miss.
(AP)
—
Authorities say a Biloxi police officer shot and killed a man waiving
a gun near the top of the Popp’s
Ferry Bridge.
Harrison County Coroner Gary
Hargrove tells WLOX TV that 37year-old Wesley Sheppard, of
Biloxi, was shot by police around
7:50 p.m. Thursday. Hargrove
says Sheppard had a gun.
Police Chief John Miller says
police received several calls about
someone with a gun on the bridge.
Miller says said the Mississippi
Bureau of Investigation is now
leading the investigation.
This is the third officer-involved
shooting in South Mississippi this
month. On March 1, a man was
killed in a shootout with Gautier
police.
On March 8, a D’Iberville police
officer shot at an 18-year-old after
police say he raised a gun at the
officer. The teen was not hit.
Wounded Warrior fires execs
over spending accusations
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) —
The board of Wounded Warrior
Project, one of the nation’s largest
veteran support groups, has fired
two top officials amid news
reports accusing the group of
wasteful spending.
According to a statement
released late Thursday on behalf
of Wounded Warrior Project, chief
executive officer Steve Nardizzi
and chief operating officer Al
Giordano are no longer with the
organization.
The Wounded Warrior Project
board of directors had hired outside legal counsel and forensic
accounting consultants to conduct an independent review of the
Jacksonville-based organization’s
records and interviews with current and former employees.
In late January, CBS News and
The New York Times reported the
organization spent too much on
its own staff. According to those
reports, Wounded Warrior Project
spends 40 to 50 percent of its
money on overhead — including
extravagant parties — while other
veterans charities have overhead
costs of 10 to 15 percent.
They also interviewed former
employees who accused the
organization of making money off
their injuries. One former employee said the way Wounded Warrior
Project spends money is equivalent to “what the military calls
fraud, waste and abuse.”
The independent review found
that Wounded Warrior Project’s
most recent audited financial
statement showed the organization spent 80.6 percent of donations on programming, and that
an employee conference at a
resort reported to have cost $3
million actually cost about
$970,000, according to the
board’s statement.
However, the organization
would cut back on events such as
the employee conference, as the
review also found that some policies and procedures “have not
kept pace with the organization’s
rapid growth in recent years and
are in need of strengthening,” the
board said.
The organization also is putting
limits on employee travel and
expenses, and its financial statements will be independently
audited and posted on the
Wounded Warrior Project’s website, the board said.
Jury convicts longtime fugitive
who shot at law enforcement
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal
jury has convicted a longtime fugitive who was wounded during a
shootout with police and deputy
U.S. marshals in New York City.
U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers
announced the Thursday conviction of Oswald Lewis on charges of
assault with a deadly weapon and
related crimes.
Lewis, who was wearing body
armor, shot at law enforcers at an
apartment near Kennedy Airport
in August 2014. They returned
fire and hit him in the arm.
Lewis, who used numerous fake
names, had been wanted for more
than two decades on federal and
state cocaine trafficking charges
in Virginia.
A month before that shooting, a
fugitive from California was killed
after he wounded an NYPD officer
and two deputy marshals during a
shootout in New York’s West
Village.
Utah keeps death penalty despite
strong push to abolish
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A surprising push to abolish the death
penalty in deep-red Utah ran out
of steam, as the Republican lawmaker shepherding the measure
said he didn’t have enough votes
to pass it before a midnight deadline.
The proposal won enough support in the GOP-dominated
Legislature to be one debate and
vote away from final passage, a
surprising turnaround from lawmakers’ vote a year ago to revive
the use of firing squads in executions if lethal drugs are unavailable.
“I think that people ruled us out
at every step and we kept progressing,” said state Sen. Steve
Urquhart, the Republican pushing to end capital punishment.
Unable to secure enough votes,
Urquhart abandoned the push
Thursday night after briefly shopping the idea of a moratorium
instead.
The lawmaker told The
Associated Press that he came
very close to securing a majority of
votes from the 75 members of the
House of Representatives. But he
said too many undecided legislators would have needed hours of
convincing.
“I can’t say that the bill is totally
a victim of the clock, but you
know, if we had another week or
so, it would be interesting to see
what would have happened,” he
said.
Even if it had passed, the measure faced an uncertain future with
Republican Gov. Gary Herbert,
who supports capital punishment
in extreme cases but wouldn’t say
if he would veto the measure.
2 convicts who escaped from
prison van elude authorities
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The
prisoners — both felons with violent criminal backgrounds —
made their escape somewhere
along a New Mexico highway, clad
in white jumpsuits and last
accounted for in the back of a
state corrections van where
authorities said they were bound
by shackles.
Even more than 24 hours after
their escape, it wasn’t known
Friday exactly when or where
Joseph Cruz, a convicted murderer, or Lionel Clah, who’s serving
time for armed robbery, managed
to escape from the van transporting them to a correctional facility
in Las Cruces. Authorities have
only confirmed that the getaway
happened somewhere after a
prison-stop in Roswell — a city
about 200 miles from Las Cruces,
and where corrections staff
reported last seeing Cruz and
Clah
around
8:30
p.m.
Wednesday.
According to authorities, correction officers didn’t even realize
the men were missing until about
1 a.m. Thursday. By 4:30 a.m.,
the two had managed to travel
more than 200 miles north to
Albuquerque, where surveillance
video that surfaced Thursday
afternoon showed Clah wearing a
red T-shirt and jeans and Cruz
wearing a tan, collared shirt and
jeans. The video was from a hotel
lobby.
“In almost every case that you
have a set of circumstances like
this, it is not a matter of a lack of
policies, a lack of systems, a lack
of structure,” said Gregg
Marcantel, the state corrections
secretary. “It’s a matter of somehow or another we failed in that
structure.”
The inmates’ escape has raised
concerns that major missteps
during the transport or on the
part of corrections personnel
allowed for Clah and Cruz to
evade authorities and flee north
before anyone noticed they were
missing.
Witnesses urged to come forward
in deadly cookout ambush
WILKINSBURG, Pa. (AP) —
Police were seeking to identify
suspects in a deadly ambush
attack by two men who methodically shot and killed five people,
including a pregnant woman, at a
backyard cookout.
The gunmen appeared to have
targeted one or two of the victims
in the Wednesday night attack,
and drugs haven’t been ruled out
as a motive, said District Attorney
Stephen Zappala.
“The murders were planned.
They were calculated, brutal,”
Zappala said of the shootings.
Police have no suspects and a
county executive urged witnesses
to come forward.
Allegheny County Executive
Rich Fitzgerald said providing any
information “can be our first step
to stopping the violence in our
communities.”
Four women, one of them eight
months’ pregnant, and a man
were killed as they rushed toward
the back porch to seek cover as a
gunman fired a .40-caliber pistol
at the partygoers who were playing cards and having a late-night
cookout.
That steered the victims toward
the rear porch and door of the
house, where an accomplice
armed with a 7.62 mm rifle similar to an AK-47 shot them from
behind a chain-link fence less
than 10 feet from the porch,
Zappala said. Two others were
critically wounded.
The medical examiner officially
ruled the death of the fetus a
homicide Thursday afternoon,
bringing the fatalities in the late
Wednesday night ambush attack
to six.
Wilkinsburg is a poorer, largely
blighted suburb just east of
Pittsburgh that is known for drug
trafficking and gun violence. But
neighbors described the street on
which the shooting occurred as
generally quiet.
The dead included three siblings, Brittany Powell, 27, who
lived at the home; Jerry Shelton,
35; and Chanetta Powell, 25, who
was eight months’ pregnant. The
other two were Shada Mahone,
26, and Tina Shelton, 37. All had
multiple wounds and had been
shot in the head.
Milwaukee man accused
of fatally shooting 3 neighbors
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A
Milwaukee man fatally shot his
neighbor and fired at the man’s
son after they declined a drink
before killing two other tenants of
his apartment complex, according
to a criminal complaint filed
Thursday.
Dan Popp, 39, is charged with
three counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of
40-year-old Jesus Manso-Perez,
36-year-old Phia Vue and 32year-old Mai Vue, who were fatally
shot Sunday. Popp is also charged
with attempted first-degree intentional homicide after authorities
say he shot at Manso-Perez’s 18year-old son.
Popp was arrested Sunday outside the four-unit complex where
the shootings occurred and made
his initial court appearance
Thursday.
His
attorney,
Christopher Hartley, requested a
competency exam, which was
granted. A court-ordered mental
health examiner will determine if
Popp understands the charges
against him and is able to aid in
his defense.
“I think that he is just entirely
confused about everything, and
I’m not sure he really even understands what’s going on,” Hartley
said. “I think he has some significant mental health issues.”
Missouri religious objections
measure passes Senate
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) —
After a failed 37-hour filibuster by
Democrats, the Missouri Senate
on Thursday passed a proposal to
add greater religious protections
to the state constitution for some
business owners and individuals
opposed to gay marriage.
Senators voted 23-7 along party
lines to give the measure final
approval after the Democratic filibuster ground work in the chamber to a halt.
Division over the measure highlights national debate over how to
balance civil rights of lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender people
and religious liberties following
the U.S. Supreme Court ruling
last summer that legalized samesex marriages in all states.
At issue is legislation to amend
the Missouri Constitution to prohibit government penalties
against those who cite a “sincere
religious belief” while declining to
provide goods and services for
same-sex marriage ceremonies or
ensuing celebrations. The measure cites photographers and
florists as examples of those who
could be covered. It would also
shield clergy and worship places
that decline to participate in such
weddings.
Democrats, who argued it
would allow discrimination
against LGBT people, stalled an
initial vote on the measure from
Monday afternoon to early
Wednesday, when Republicans
used a rare procedural move to
end what was the longest continuous filibuster in recent state history.
Lawyer: ‘Pawn Stars’ star to fight
felony drug, gun charges
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The lawyer
representing “Pawn Stars” reality
TV star “Chumlee” says he’ll fight
felony weapon and drug charges
— and sex assault allegations if
they’re filed.
Defense
attorney
David
Chesnoff told The Associated
Press on Thursday that he’s “looking forward to the truthful conclusion” of the case against Austin
Lee Russell.
Russell posted $62,000 bail and
was released from jail pending a
May 23 court date.
Russell
was
arrested
Wednesday after police say officers serving a search warrant in a
sexual assault investigation found
methamphetamine, marijuana
and a gun at his southwest Las
Vegas home.

Trudeau pays tribute to Obama,
relates to Obama daughters
WASHINGTON
(AP)
—
Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau paid tribute to President
Barack Obama’s daughters at
their first state dinner, recalling
how he grew up in the spotlight
when his dad was prime minister
and how he missed state dinners
because he was too young.
The boyish-looking, 44-year-old
son of late Canadian Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau said it
was touching to meet Malia and
Sasha Obama and said he wished
he had been a teenager when his
dad was a world leader. He said he
admired their strength and called
it a “remarkable childhood and
young adulthood that will give you
extraordinary strength and wisdom beyond your years for the
rest of your life.”
Guests at the splashy White
House state dinner in Canada’s
honor were just as impressed with
the nation’s new leader.
“He’s cool,” said actor Michael
J. Fox, who was born in
Edmonton. Fox declared himself a
fan of Trudeau’s father, whom he
described as the “coolest world
leader going. He seems to be pretty cool, too,” Fox said of the
younger Trudeau.
“When I lived in Canada, Pierre
Trudeau was my prime minister
for 14 years and he’s my hero,”
said actor Mike Myers, who sported a head of snow white hair for
his first White House state dinner,
the first for Canada in nearly 20
years. “Now I’m thrilled to have
his son as my prime minister. I
think it’s going to be a great time
for Canada and a great time for
Canadian-U.S. relations.”
“I’m extremely proud of
Canada,” said actress Sandra Oh,
formerly of “Grey’s Anatomy,” who
was born in Ottawa, the Canadian
capital. “Obviously, he carries the
legacy of one of our greatest prime
ministers so I’m extremely excited
to meet him.”
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said
he was not the least bit surprised
by the hubbub over Trudeau; the
senator lives about an hour away
from the border.
“He’s a breath of fresh air,” said
Leahy.
Toasting Trudeau, Obama said:
“Here in America, you may well be
the most popular Canadian
named Justin” — a reference to
Canadian-born pop star Justin
Bieber.
More than 170 guests sporting
tuxedos and designer gowns filed
in for dinner in the East Room,
which was transformed by the
addition of cascading arrangements of blooming orchids,
hydrangeas and amaranth in
shades of green and white intended to evoke the coming of spring
— much like Trudeau’s election in
October has ushered in a new
season in Canadian politics.
The guest list featured a hefty
dose of Canadian star power from
actors Fox, Myers, Oh and Ryan
Reynolds, along with “Saturday
Night Live” creator Lorne
Michaels. Professional sports
were represented by the U.S.
hockey and basketball commissioners, along with retired NBA
player Grant Hill and his wife,
Tamia, a Canadian singer. Leahy
and a few other Democratic senators were joined by Republicans
Susan Collins of Maine and Orrin
Hatch of Utah.
Malia, 17, sat with Oh and
Sasha, 14, sat with Reynolds and
his wife, actress Blake Lively. Mrs.
Obama sat with Fox.
Like at previous state dinners,
political donors made the guest
list, too. Adam Silver, commissioner of the National Basketball
Association, contributed $3,500
to Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign and $2,700 more recently to
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential
run.
Longtime Obama supporter
Irwin Jacobs, founder of the
Qualcomm tech firm, also attended. Jacobs gave more than $2 million to a “super” political action
committee supporting the president’s re-election. The La Jolla,
Sticky lawsuit: $400M
dispute lingers over
Post-it inventor
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP)
— Inventor Alan Amron is suing
3M Company in a South Florida
federal court in a dispute over who
invented the ubiquitous Post-it
Note.
Amron says he came up with
the idea a year earlier than 3M
and is asking a Florida federal
judge to stop the Minnesota-based
company from continuing to claim
credit. Amron wants $400 million
in damages and recognition for his
invention, which he called the
Press-on Memo in 1973.
3M says its scientists deserve
full credit for the Post-it Note and
worked independently of anything
Amron did.

Lee U-Church to host
‘An Evening of Worship’
Lee University will host its student-led “Come to the Table: An
Evening of Worship” event on
Sunday, March 20, at 7:30 p.m.
in the Conn Center.
This service is designed to
bring attention and focus to a
time of worship and communion
for all who attend. Everyone is
welcome to participate in worship
through music and sharing of the
Lord’s Supper.
A team of students meets
throughout the semester to pray
and prepare for this event, develop a theme, and even write original music for the night.
“‘An Evening of Worship’ is a
refreshing time to come together
as a student body and be able to
dwell in the presence of God without having a time constraint,”
said Lee student Carlos Rising.
The theme for the service
focuses on Isaiah 43:18-19, “But
forget all that – it is nothing compared to what I am going to do,
for I am about to do something
new. See, I have already begun!
Can you not see it? I will make a
pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry
wasteland.”
“I can't wait for this “Come to
the Table,” because I am expectant for God to show us things
we've not yet seen or understood,”
said Lee student Taylor Booker.
U-Church is a free, non-ticketed event for all who would like to
attend. Seating is on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Childcare is available for all
who attend. Please contact
Christie Wyatt at [email protected] for more information.

and have input on future artists,

‘Grave, where is your victory?’
I was just a little girl, but I
remember the first time I went
to the Easter pageant in Fields
of the Wood, celebrating the
death, burial and resurrection
of Jesus.
The program began about 4
on Sunday morning. We stood
on
Ten
Commandment
Mountain as the scene unfolded before us.
First came Christ as He
prayed in the Garden of
Gethsemane, then the arrest of
the Savior and trial by torchlight.
After the beating in the judgment hall, someone portraying
Jesus began the journey to
Golgotha, the cross on his
back.
I heard the hammer as it
drove the nails through his feet
and hands and the loud clump
as the cross was set in the
ground. The sky was still dark,
and ominous thunder rolled
through the mountain. I trembled at the sound.
Finally, we saw men take
down the body of our Lord
and place it in the tomb and
the huge stone was rolled over
the opening. Soldiers stood
guard.
Then, just as the day was
dawning, there was a great
shaking as if an earthquake
had seized the valley between
the two mountains.
Flashes of light traveling
down
the
mountainside
revealed an angel descending
to the tomb and then sat on the
stone which was rolled back.
The first visitors — the
women — came and then ran
to tell Peter and the other disciples that “Jesus was gone.”
Matthew 28:2-6: “And,
behold, there was a great
earthquake: for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven,
and came and rolled back the
stone from the door, and sat
upon it. His countenance was
like lightning, and his raiment
white as snow: And for fear of
him the keepers did shake, and
became as dead men.
“And the angel answered
and said unto the women, Fear
not ye: for I know that ye seek
Jesus, which was crucified. He
is not here: for he is risen, as
he said. Come, see the place
where the Lord lay.”
And what peace and joy —
walking in the garden, there
was none other than the
Master himself.
All this that we might partake of the resurrection of
Christ with victory over death.
This is our hope. 1 Peter 1:3
(KJV): “Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, which according to his
abundant mercy hath begotten
us again unto a lively hope by
the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead.”
Paul rejoiced in the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:55
(KJV): “O death, where is thy
sting? O grave, where is thy
victory?” To the Philippians, he
declared, “That I may know
him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of
his sufferings, being made
conformable unto his death”
(Philippians 3:10 KJV).
Romans 6:5 (KJV): “For if we
have been planted together in
the likeness of his death, we
Lifelines
Bettie
Marlowe
shall be also in the likeness of
his resurrection.”
The late Shirley Cantrell
said it in a song with the chorus: “Grave, where is your victory? Death, where is your
sting? We do not die, we just
move on high — to live with
Christ, the King. To walk on
gold, to see the sights untold,
and with the saints of old to
sing, Grave, where is your victory? Death, where is your
sting?”
NOTE: “We Do Not Die” was
written when the writer’s mother passed on to glory. It was
first recorded by the Whitey
Cantrell Quartet. In 1977, “We
Do Not Die” was assigned to
HeartWarming Music. Mrs.
Cantrell and her son, Blair and
his family, lived in Cleveland
several years before her death.
Blair continues the family tradition of quartet singing.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope
Francis’ proposed Vatican tribunal
to judge bishops who covered up
for pedophile priests is going
nowhere fast.
Despite fresh focus from the
Oscar-winning film “Spotlight” on
how Catholic bishops protected
priests who raped children,
Francis’ most significant sex
abuse-related initiative to date has
stalled. It’s a victim of a premature
roll-out, unresolved legal and
administrative questions and
resistance both inside and outside
of the Holy See, church officials
and canon lawyers say.
The surprise proposal made
headlines when it was announced
on June 10 as the first major initiative of Francis’ sex abuse advisory commission. A Vatican communique said Francis and his
nine cardinal advisers had unanimously agreed to create a new
judicial section within the
Congregation for the Doctrine of
the Faith to handle “abuse of
office” cases against bishops
accused of failing to protect their
flocks from pedophiles.
But the proposal immediately
raised red flags to canon lawyers
and Vatican officials alike.
For starters, the congregation,
which since 2001 has been the

The Vatican communique said a
new secretary for the congregation
and staff would be appointed, and
adequate resources allocated. But
nine months later, no appointments have been made. Francis
recently repeated that he would
appoint the secretary, but even
once in place, he will be starting
from scratch on an uphill battle.
“We’re confident that the Holy
Father’s announcement of his
intention to name a secretary for
the Discipline Section is a clear
sign that the implementation of
his earlier decisions will be expedited,” Boston Cardinal Sean
O’Malley, said.

wasn’t consulted or even

is understaffed and overwhelmed

molested children, advising dioceses on how to proceed.
“In reality, the congregation
knows nothing about this. The
question has just been left there. It
hasn’t been dealt with,” said the
Rev. Davide Cito, canon lawyer at

The
Crucifixion
“For me He came; for me
He died;
For me He arose in victory.
The law of God was satisfied;
He did it all for me.”
An American journalist
was in Jerusalem researching the death of Jesus. A
guide led him along the narrow streets as he told of what
happened on the horrid day
of the Crucifixion.
“Here is where He stood
when Pilate said ‘Behold the
man!’ ... At this turn is where
He fell. ... Up here is where
the women of Jerusalem
wept.”
On the way to Calvary,
Christ must have staggered
under the weight of the heavy
cross. After all, He had been
up all night and had been
beaten unmercifully, so the
soldiers grabbed another
man and forced him to carry
the cross.
What an honor to carry
Christ’s cross! The Bible
emphasizes the event, naming the man and even his
sons: “A certain man from
Cyrene, Simon, the father of
Alexander and Rufus, was
passing by on his way in from
the country, and they forced
him to carry the cross” (Mark
15:21).
Quite likely, he was coming
to Jerusalem to worship during the Passover. God must
have a special place in
Heaven for Simon for bearing
for the Lord.
Jesus was crucified about
9 o’clock on Friday between
two criminals who must have
heard people mockingly say
Jesus was a king. Both criminals prayed. The first sarcastically said, “Aren’t you the
The Bible and
Current Events
Clyne W.
Buxton
Christ? Save yourself and
us!” Christ did not respond.
The other said, “Don’t you
fear God? ... This man has
done nothing wrong. Then he
said, ‘Jesus, remember me
when you come into your
kingdom.’ Jesus answered
him, ‘I tell you the truth,
today you will be with me in
paradise’” (Luke 23:39-43).
What an easy passage to
Heaven! The same is true
today. Do you need a guarantee of Heaven? Turn to Christ
who died that Friday. Accept
His death for your sins and
vow to follow Him. When we
do that in sincerity we will
meet Christ, like the criminal
in Paradise.
We call the day Christ died
“Good Friday” — good for us,
but horrible for Him. He was
crucified at 9 a.m., from noon
until 3 p.m. the sun refused
to shine, and at 3 o’clock He
died.
The first words he said on
the cross were, “Father, forgive them for they don’t know
what they are doing.” He is
still saying that today about
you and me.
His last words were, “‘It is
finished!’ With that, he bowed
his head and gave up his
spirit.” Finished — the great
plan of salvation. Finished —
a way for the whole world to
know the Father, the son,
and the Holy Spirit. Finished
— living under the Old
Testament Law, but now
under grace.
Do you know Him as the
gracious Savior?

Christ Suffered for Us)

Mexican archdiocese claims
Pope was misinformed
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s
main archdiocese has taken the
unusual step of publicly saying
Pope Francis was badly advised
when he directed harsh words to
local bishops during his visit in
mid-February.
The pope told a gathering of
local bishops not to be careerminded clerics, saying, “We do
not need princes, but rather a
community of the Lord’s witnesses.”
An editorial published Sunday
on a website of the archdiocese of
Mexico City says “the hand of
discord had tried to accent the
negative.” It denies that local
bishops were out of touch with
the people, and says the pope’s
comments “might be due to
someone near him who gave him
bad advice.”
The editorial ends with the
question: “Who gave the Pope
bad advice?”

Mayor D. Gary Davis and
Tennessee State Veterans Home
Executive Director Ed Harries.

Simmons said the donor wanted to remain anonymous. This
commitment to a $3 million donation started serious consideration
and efforts to bring a home here.
The Bradley County Veterans
Service Officers serving at the
time facilitated the donation.
Sadly, Simmons died before
seeing the facility become a reality.
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland
commented that the process of
getting the state to accept the
land proved challenging. Through
hard work and agreements locally
and with the state, initial concerns about the site were
addressed.
“I’m just pleased it is being
accepted,” Rowland said. “We
have done everything locally that
we can do.”
The official acceptance of the
site has been a moment that
Howell has been waiting for a long
time — dating back to his work on
the project as assistant to the
Bradley County mayor.
“It means a lot to m,e because I
have such high regard for our vet-
erans for who they are and what
they do and what they have done
for us as a nation,” Howell said.
“In a 50-mile radius of Bradley
County there are tens of thousands of veterans and this would
be such an asset to those who
need a place in their twilight
years.”
Howell said he has several family members who have served or
are serving in the military.
“I just think we can’t do enough
for our veterans. I am glad to see
this finally beginning to take
shape,” Howell said.
Howell and others who represent Bradley County at the state
level are encouraging area representatives and senators at the
federal level to support the project
being moved up the federal funding priority list.
“It was really one of the biggest
hurdles we had to overcome — to
have the land accepted by the
state … I think it’s a great step,”
Gardenhire said.
This final hurdle is securing
the federal funding needed to
cover 65 percent of the cost of
constructing the home.
“This is such an important step
in a project that so many people
in the Cleveland/Bradley County
have been working on for years,”
Bell said.
Bell said he was “thankful” for
the progress to bring a “worldclass
veterans
home
to
Cleveland/Bradley County.”
"This is a great day, a day that
will live on for generations here in
Bradley County. The road to this
veterans home has been circuitous and sometimes even
stalled, which makes today's official acceptance of the property by
the state of Tennessee even more
special. The team of both locals
and legislators, who kept working
on this project, even in the face of
defeat, are to be commended,”
Brooks said.
Hull, deputy commissioner of
State of Tennessee Real Estate
and Asset Management, said his
department was involved in working through the details of the necessary memorandums of understanding, outlining who would do
what before the state could accept
the land. The American Legion
and local governments also
signed the agreements.
“Once that memorandum was
finished and each party was satisfied with things in there. It was
time now for the state to accept
the property,” Hull said. “Now we
can tell the federal government,
which is the next important piece
of this, that we have accepted
this (the land) and hopefully as
soon as they see fit (they) will
move it up on the federal priority
list.”
Even if the home does move
up on the list, just when federal
funding will be allocated is
unknown. Once this funding is
secured, the permitting and
approval process can begin.
This, and the actual construction of the home, can take two
to three years, Hull said.
STREAM will oversee the construction.
“This is very important to the
state of Tennessee. This is a project that Commissioner Grinder
has personally helped me walk
through,” Hull said. “It has taken
years to get to this point but this
is such a worthy cause to get to
this point.”
A way to have the facility built
sooner would be for the federal
government to allocate additional
funds to the maintenance and
construction of veterans homes.
Veterans home projects are funded in the order that they appear
on the federal priority list. Safety
concerns at existing facilities are
given priority over new construction. Current annual funding
rates limit how much new construction can be accomplished
each year.
The cost for construction of the
local home is anticipated to be
$40 million.
The
Bradley
County
Commission and the Cleveland
City Council have each pledged
$2 million to the project.
“It’s committed and (the state)
has the donor’s money ($3 million) in hand,” Davis said.
“We have it ready when they
need it,” Rowland said.
related to religion in some way.
He argued that omitting all mention of religion would omit
important pieces of those stories.
“This is not deciding whether
or not religion is taught in social
studies,” Lillios said. “Religion
is what built history.”
As part of its consent agenda,
the board also approved a
request for proposals for janitorial services and an agreement to
proceed with an energy project.
The board is taking another
look at janitorial services for the
county’s school buildings, and
responses to the request for
proposals will give board members a good look at whether or
not they can improve on what is
in place now.
The energy project agreement
allows the Energy Systems
Group company to proceed with
final engineering for a project
designed to revamp school
buildings and make them more
energy-efficient.
In a presentation Tuesday,
ESG Business Development
Manager Russ Nelson proposed
a project which included about
$6.5 million worth of improvements — everything from
replacing windows to installing
new HVAC systems.
ESG has been working with
the Bradley County government,
the Bradley County Sheriff’s
Office and the school system to
study their buildings’ energy
efficiency. A committee with representatives from all three entities had already discussed its
goals with the company.
The agreement the school
board approved includes a
$75,000 cost for further engineering from ESG. If the board
decides to approve the final
project plan, that $75,000 will
be “rolled into” the final cost.
The board also issued proclamations to nominate a local
adult volunteer and two students for awards given by the
Tennessee
School
Boards
Association.
Rebecca Brnik, president of
the PTO at Michigan Avenue
Elementary School, is being
nominated for the TSBA’s
Volunteer of the Year Award.
“She does a remarkable job at
Michigan Avenue School,” 4th
District board member Dianna
Calfee said. “I think we’ve got a
winner.”
Among her accomplishments
are having increased PTO membership by 82 percent since the
fall of 2014 and having raised
enough funds to increase the
school’s operational budget by
62 percent. Calfee said Brnik
has coordinated numerous
events and worked alongside
the school’s administration to
raise money for new projects.
Brnik most recently participated in the writing of a grant to
the
United
Way
Health
Endowment Fund which garnered thousands of dollars to go
toward building a walking track
at the school.
First District board Chairman
Chris Turner touted the accomplishments of two high school
juniors the school board is nominating for TSBA’s Student
Recognition Award.
The two honorees are Walker
Valley High School student
Vivian Baker and Bradley
Central High School student
Blaire Terrell. Both young ladies
have 4.0 GPAs, are taking college dual enrollment courses,
are involved in multiple clubs
and honor organizations and
have participated in multiple
community service efforts.
Turner called their accomplishments “very impressive”
and said he was proud of them
and their contributions.
None of the honorees were
present at the meeting, but
Calfee and Turner said they
were being notified of their nominations.

read them and give their feedback.
Before the vote, the board
heard from a concerned member of the public, Barbara
Gilbert. She argued there is no
fair way to go about including
religion in social studies without excluding some people’s
beliefs.
“You should absolutely prohibit the teaching of any religion,” Gilbert said, urging the
board members to “keep it in
the home” rather than in the
classroom.
Later, 3rd District board
member Nicholas Lillios noted
that religion has actually been
mentioned in social studies lessons for some time.
Mentioning everything from
the construction of the pyramids
in Egypt to the Pilgrims making
their way to what is now the
United States, Lillios said many

WASHINGTON (AP) — A rare
letter written by the poet Walt
Whitman for a wounded Civil
War soldier has been found in
the National Archives.
The Washington Post reports
it was discovered last month by
an Archives volunteer on a team
preparing Civil War widows’
pension files to be digitized and
placed online. It’s one of only
three known to exist.
“It doesn’t get much bigger, in
my eyes,” said Jackie Budell, an
archive specialist who oversees
the project. “It’s just simply
stunning. ... We’re not going to
find another one like this, probably, for a while.”
The letter was written for Pvt.
Robert N. Jabo of the 8th New
Hampshire infantry, who was
dying of tuberculosis in
Washington’s
Harewood
Hospital. He was sick and illiterate. So Whitman, a cheerful,
bearded man who regularly visited hospitalized soldiers,
offered to write for him. Sadly,
Jabo died in a charity hospital
11 months after the letter was
written.
Whitman, a poet, journalist
and essayist, often made the
rounds of the local hospitals,
where he dispensed snacks and
money. He also sat with wounded and dying soldiers and wrote
letters for them.
“I do a good deal of this, of
course, writing all kinds,
including love letters,” Whitman
wrote in a dispatch for the New
York Times in 1864.
A century and a half later, few
of those letters have surfaced.
But volunteer Catherine
Cusack Wilson found one Feb.
3.
The Falls Church librarian
was sorting through pension
files at the archives when she
drew Jabo’s file from its envelope.
“I’m looking through the file,
and I see this letter, and I start
reading it,” she said. On the
back, she found a surprise:
“Written by Walt Whitman, a
friend.”
“Ah!” Wilson said she
exclaimed. “Look what I found!”
Wilson showed the letter to
Budell, who was cautious at
first. “Part of my job is authenticating such finds,” Budell
said.
David S. Ferriero, who heads
the National Archives, sent a
scan of the letter to Whitman
scholar Kenneth M. Price, at the
University of Nebraska. Price is
co-director of the Walt Whitman
Archive and an expert on
Whitman’s handwriting.
Price noted the unique way
Whitman wrote the letters x, d,
and I, and how he often used a
plus sign instead of the word
“and.”
Whitman’s signature in the
letter resembles other Whitman
signatures, Price said in an
email.
The letter will be housed in a
vault at the National Archives
with other valuable documents.

the national and the state.”
Tennessee posted a jobless mark of
5.4 percent. Nationally, the figure came
in at 4.9 percent.
Bradley County’s 4.2 mark landed it in
a two-way tie with Robertson County for
Tennessee’s 11th lowest unemployment
rate out of 95 counties.
In spite of the job increases, Bradley
did have a few bumps. Slight drops in
hiring came in private education and
health services, as well as in temporary
services and tourism.
Bradley County’s strong performance
found itself in good company. Statewide,
the jobless rates decreased in 82 counties, increased in 12 and remained the
same in one.
Rates of less than 5 percent were
reported in 25 counties. They ranged
from 5 to 9.9 percent in 70 counties. No
counties recorded marks higher than 10
percent.
As it has for the past few years,
Bradley County again led the Southeast
Tennessee region with the lowest jobless
rate. Although Bradley often rotates with
Hamilton County as having the lowest
mark, in January the leader was again
Bradley.
For the month, the Hamilton County
mark was 4.6 percent, down from 5 in
December. Other counties along
Bradley’s perimeter included McMinn,
5.5, down from 6.1; Meigs, 6.5, down
from 7.2; Monroe, 5.4, down from 6;
Polk, 5.9, down from 6.4; and Rhea, 7.2,
down from 7.8.
Statewide, Tennessee’s lowest unemployment rates were recorded in
Williamson County, 3.2; Davidson, 3.6;
Rutherford, 3.7; Moore, 3.8; Sumner,
Wilson and Knox, 3.9; and Giles,
Cheatham and Lincoln, 4.1.
Highest jobless marks were found in
Houston and Lake counties, 8.9 percent;
Lauderdale, 8.7; Hancock, 8.5; Scott,
8.4; Unicoi, 8.2; Obion and Benton, 8;
and Cocke and Clay counties, 7.9.
“Tennessee, as a whole and county by
county, had a very good month in
January,” Green said. “Hiring remained
strong and offset any layoffs in the retail
trade sector.”
He added, “And Bradley County is just
rolling along.”
The next two weeks could tell the tale
about the validity of the low January
report because February’s unemployment report is just around the corner.
Those numbers will be released March
24.
“February normally is pretty stable
compared to January, but [after this

year’s January report] who knows what’s
normal?” Green offered.
On a positive note, the longtime labor
market analyst — who has monitored
Bradley County’s numbers for years —
described the local community as “...
looking really good.”
Green pointed out, “It will be interesting to see if Bradley County can stay
down in the 4 percent range. That is yet
to be determined, but we’ll know in two
weeks.”
In the meantime, a Cleveland/Bradley
Chamber of Commerce official who has
worked with economic development for
decades, sees the low unemployment
rate as the fruit of the labors by many
who have worked together to pull out of
The Great Recession which some believe
started as long ago as late 2007.
“We’re beginning to see the benefits of
the hard work of this community and its
leadership, as well as the citizens, who
have come together these last eight years
or more to try to stabilize and reset our
community,” said Doug Berry, Chamber
vice president of Economic Development.
“I believe we’re beginning to reap the
benefits of those defined interests.”
Berry pointed out he understands how
Bradley County’s unemployment rate
could continue to plummet — even in
January — because of what he described
as heavy construction activity and a
strong housing market.
“In our ongoing discussions with existing industry, we are learning that many
of them are seeing growth in their markets and are working with how to
address demand ... and that means new
hiring which sometimes goes against the
trend,” Berry said. “We’ve all been working hard to stabilize and to reinforce how
important manufacturing and investment are to our community.”
The veteran economic development
leader believes the low January rate —
especially in the fact that it is bucking
the seasonal trend — is the result “... of
many years of initiative.”
He also offered a caution.
“It’s important that we keep this
momentum going,” Berry said. “By that,
I mean as unemployment drops, we have
to engage on how to increase workers’
skills.”
He added, “That’s really the issue
today, the one thing that can slow this
positive trend; that is, a lack of skilled
labor.”
It’s another way of pointing to the need
to grow partnerships between education
— both secondary and post-secondary
such as colleges, universities and vocational training centers — and area companies whose future depends on skilled
workers, Green explained.
Currently, Bradley County’s population growth is leveling off at about 1 percent per year, but job opportunities are
exceeding it, he said.
“Our labor market is growing faster
than the population base,” Green pointed out. That’s a good thing, he said, but
it also means the community needs to
continue to work toward expanding its
skilled worker base.
“There’s absolutely no reason for this
community to be anything but happy
about the direction and trend we are
going,” Berry stressed. “It’s a unique
time for us, and that means it’s an
opportunity.”
Historic Preservation Commission
tackles issue of front-yard parking
By JOYANNA LOVE
Banner Senior Staff Writer
Imagine eight people trying to
solve a jigsaw puzzle when only
one of them can actually move
the pieces.
That is similar to the strategy
that the Historic Preservation
Commission had to take on
Thursday as it sought to develop
a solution to parking issues at a
home in the historic district.
The objective was to determine
how to fit four cars without turning the entire front yard into a
parking lot.
Byron Whittington, who owns
and serves as landlord for a
house on Jordan Avenue, had
recently graveled the entire front
yard after it became overly
muddy from the four tenants
parking in it.
This put the property in violation of the historic district
requirements that a paved parking area be a maximum of 15
percent of the property.
Commissioners referenced a
drawing of a proposed fix submitted by Whittington as they tried
to develop an option that would
be cost effective and restore more
of the green space to the front
yard. Sheets were passed among
the Commissioners as they illustrated their ideas. Larger images
showing the house in question,
and the layout of the yard were
projected on a screen for the
audience.
Whitttington’s proposal would
be to replace a 4-foot section in
the center of the parking area
with grass, and to plant bushes
to keep tenants from parking
there.
“Really what this [current
setup] does is turn the front yard
into a parking lot, which is really
not acceptable,” Commissioner
Joan Benjamin said.
Jobe said this plan would get
the graveled area under 15 percent.
“His proposal does meet our
guidelines,” said Jonathan Jobe,
director of the city’s development
and engineering department.
“I wanted to make
sure we were doing the
right thing, so I called
Corey and … discussed
with him the various
options that were
available. He directed
me to the website with
the historic design
guidelines.”
— Byron Whittington
The parking overlay for the
Historic District prohibits parking in the grass of front yards,
sad Corey Divel, city senior planner.
The property has had two
paved parking spaces in the front
yard since before Whittington
purchased the property four
years ago. He said he had been
notified by codes enforcement
that tenants parking in the front
yard had created a stormwater
issue with mud in the roadway.
Whittington said codes suggested
paving the area where tenants
were parking.
“I wanted to make sure we
were doing the right thing, so I
called Corey and … discussed
with him the various options that
were available. He directed me to
the website with the historic
design guidelines,” Whittington
said.
He said he understood from
the specific page Divel directed
him to that gravel would be
acceptable.
Commission Chair Maryl
Elliott stated during the meeting
that driveway modifications need
a certificate of appropriateness
approved by the commission. In
addition, what was done did not
create a driveway, but a parking
lot, Benjamin said.
Whittington said he had not
been aware of the requirements.
“If you are going to be a renter
of property in the historic district, you need to be aware of
these things,” Benjamin said.
One suggestion was that a
driveway be constructed to one
side of the house in order to allow
parking on it or in the backyard.
Jobe said there was a drainage
pipe in the area that would need
to be moved if the driveway was
put on the left side of the house.
Commissioner Phyllis Callaway
suggested a driveway be installed
on the right side of the house
where there was more room.
Whittington said there were a
number of trees on the right side
of the house that would make
installation of a driveway problematic. Jobe said the topography in the area may also prove to
be an issue.
Whittington said he wanted to
find a solution that would work
for his tenants and meet city
requirements.
“We want to be good neighbors,” Whittington said.
Parking on the street or restoring the initial parking areas, and
allowing for parking on the right
of way (since there is not a sidewalk in the area) were discussed
as options.
Having a small driveway for
two cars and parking spot for a
third was also discussed.
Whittington said he hesitates
to commit to a plan until he has
been to the site and taken the
needed measurements.
Amy Banks, who attended the
meeting, said the Historic
District design guidelines and
parking overlay needed to be
reviewed to make the intent of
each plain to the reader and
avoid such issues in the future.
In the end, the puzzle was put
back on the shelf to be worked
on another day. Members of the
Historic Commission were
encouraged to visit the site
before the commission’s next
meeting. Members of the planning staff will also be in further
discussions with the property
owner.
The issue will be discussed at
the March 22 meeting of the
Historic Commission, in the
meeting room of the Cleveland
Municipal Building on Church
Street at 5:15 p.m.

Ancestry.com indexes Irish records
BOSTON (AP) — Just in time for
St. Patrick’s Day, genealogical
research website Ancestry.com is
making 10 million Catholic parish
records from Ireland — some dating to 1655 — available online for
free to help people trace their Irish
heritage.
The goldmine of information,
available without cost for a week
starting Friday, includes baptism,
confirmation, marriage, and burial records from more than 1,000
parishes in both the Republic of
Ireland and Northern Ireland.
“This will really help people
reconstruct their family story,”
said Lisa Elzey, a family historian
at Ancestry, which now offers
access to 55 million Irish records.
“There’s all kinds of mysteries
within these records.”
More
than
33
million
Americans claimed Irish ancestry
in 2014, according to the latest
U.S. Census data, or about 10
percent of the nation’s population.
The documents, usually in
English but sometimes in Latin,
and dating from 1655 to 1915,
had already been digitized by the
National Library of Ireland, but
Ancestry took the information and
indexed it, making it possible to
do much quicker and more efficient searches using names,
places and dates.
The trove contains information
on prominent Irish citizens as well
as the forebears of famous IrishAmericans.
Included is the 1828 marriage
record, in Latin, of President John
F. Kennedy’s great-great-grandparents: Edmundus FitzGerald
and Maria Lenihan.
The records also include baptism records of author James
Joyce and Irish-born White House
designer James Hoban.
They tell not only the stories of
Irish families, but help explain the
cultural and religious fabric of the
island, said the Rev. Oliver
Rafferty, a professor of history and
Director of Irish Programs at
Boston College.
The older records in particular,
he said, are fragmented.
“There are enormous gaps in
Catholic records, especially the
older ones, much of it because of
the periodic persecution of
Catholics at various stages of Irish
history,” he said.
The records from parishes in
the towns tend to be more complete that those from churches in
remote rural areas, said Rafferty,
who is familiar with the records
because of their availability from
the national library.

when I say it’s been an incredible
run.”
Last year, the team ranked
sixth in the nation after competing in the Civilian Marksmanship
Program JROTC Regional Service
Championships. While he did
point out 10th is not as great an
overall ranking, Ingle said students have been working hard
and doing well individually.
At their level, competitive rifle
shooting involves the use of air
rifles, guns that use compressed
air to shoot pellets toward targets. Ingle said it is a skill involving an extreme level of concentration to master, especially for
teens trying it for the first time.
The five principal members of
the team this year — team captain Montana Hill, Garrett
Chastain, Seth Chastain, Tristin
Coop and Peyton Griswold — and
their JROTC classmates practice
on school property. Often, that
requires getting to school at 6:30
a.m. to squeeze in the time they
need before school, and they
sometimes stay after school as
well.
Their work paid off when they
hit their marks in competition.
They finished the first part of
“The entire team
needed to finish in at
least seventh place for
everyone to go to
national competition.
But these two [Chastain
and Hill] both have a
fantastic chance at the
national championship.”
— Army Lt. Col.
Chris Ingle
their competition season, which
spanned five months and had
them going up against multiple
teams in local and regional contests, with an undefeated record
of 10-0.
Two of the Bradley Central
students, Garrett Chastain and
Montana Hill, respectively placed
in first and second overall.
Another teammate, Coop, also
saw his work pay off by being
named the top overall shooter in
the last regular tournament
shootout, bumping Chastain and
Hill to second and third.
Chastain had been ranked No.1
in the “standing” category, while
Hill had been No. 1 in the “kneeling” category.
Next, the team tackled this
year’s Civilian Marksmanship
Program JROTC Regional Service
Championships. Bradley Central
finished fifth in the Southeast
region for Army sporter teams
(for competitors using sporter air
rifles) and finished 10th in the
nation.
“The entire team needed to finish in at least seventh place for
everyone to go to national competition,” Ingle said. “But these two
[Chastain and Hill] both have a
fantastic chance at the national
championship.”
In the Regional Service
Championships, Chastain individually ranked fourth in the
nation, and Hill ranked sixth.
Their instructor stressed that
them going to nationals is a
“huge deal,” because they outperformed thousands of other
JROTC cadets.
The two students will soon be
traveling to Anniston, Ala., for
the Civilian Marksmanship
Program
JROTC
National
Competition, which begins
Friday, March 18.
“We’re really excited to get to
go to nationals,” Chastain said.
This weekend, the entire team
will be competing in the SGM
Paul Gray Memorial 7th Brigade
Championships. Later, on April
2, the team will compete in a
qualifying competition for the
Junior Olympics. On April 9, the
team will finish its season with a
trip to the state championship.
Though they are hoping for
more reasons to celebrate, this
competition season is expected to
be a bittersweet one no matter
what. The five students on the
competition team this year are
seniors preparing to graduate in
May.
“It has been a great experience,” Hill said. “I have learned
and grown a lot.”

GOP final 4 tone down rhetoric, if not their differences
MIAMI (AP) — A surprisingly
restrained Donald Trump used
the latest presidential debate to
send a none-too-subtle message
to Republicans still wary of his
insurgent candidacy: “Be smart
and unify.” Ted Cruz and Marco
Rubio toned down their rhetoric,
too, concluding that all-out
attacks against Trump didn’t
work.
“I can’t believe how civil it’s
been up here,” Trump declared
at one point in Thursday’s faceoff of the GOP’s final four.
The candidates now charge
out of Miami with four days left
to make their final arguments
before next week’s all-important
big-state presidential primaries.
Trump was picking up an
endorsement from onetime rival
Ben Carson before heading to St.
Louis and Chicago; John Kasich
headed for his must-win home
state of Ohio; Rubio made his
home-stand in Florida and Cruz
was shuttling from Florida to
Illinois.
In all, 367 Republican delegates are at stake Tuesday in
Illinois,
Missouri,
North
Carolina, Ohio and the Northern
Mariana Islands, a delegate haul
that could go a long way toward
determining the GOP nominee.
Democrats Hillary Clinton and
Bernie Sanders, too, will be competing on Tuesday, with Clinton
out to regain momentum after
her startling loss to Sanders in
Michigan this week.
Trump’s rivals, in a desperate
scramble to halt his march to the
nomination, gradually ramped
up their criticism as the latest
debate wore on.
Rubio’s overarching message:
“I know that a lot of people find
appeal in the things Donald says.
The problem is presidents can’t
just say anything they want
because it has consequences
around the world.”
Cruz, eager to cement his
position as the party’s last best
alternative to Trump, had a
string of criticisms of the GOP
front-runner, too, saying flatly at
one point: “His solutions don’t
work.”
When it was over, Trump pronounced it an “elegant” discussion. He was clearly intent on
projecting a less bombastic —
and more presidential — image.
“We’re all in this together,” he
said early on, sounding more like
a conciliator than a provocateur
as he strives to unify the party
behind his candidacy. “We’re
going to come up with solutions.
We’re going to find the answer to
things.”
In a lengthy discussion of the
threat posed by radicalized
Muslims, Trump refused to back
away from his recent statement
that “Islam hates the West.” He
said he wouldn’t stoop to being
“politically correct” by avoiding
such statements.
Rubio had a sharp comeback:
“I’m not interested in being polit-
ically correct. I’m interested in
being correct.”
The Florida senator said the
only way to solve the problem of
violent extremists is to work with
people in the Muslim faith who
are not radicals.
Cruz bundled together his criticisms of Trump for what he
called simplistic solutions on
trade and on Islamic terrorists,
saying, “The answer is not to
simply yell, ‘China: bad, Muslim:
bad.”
The candidates split down the
middle — Trump and Cruz vs.
Rubio and Kasich — on the likelihood of the GOP race coming
down to a brokered Republican
convention this summer.
“I think I’m going to have the
delegates, OK?” Trump said.
As for who has a realistic
chance of winning the nomination, Trump simply wrote off
Rubio and Kasich, saying, “There
are two of us that can, and there
are two of us that cannot, OK?”
Cruz heartily agreed with
Trump on that.
Rubio countered that disappointing “delegate math” aside,
he’d keep on fighting.
Kasich, for his part, said it
wouldn’t be so bad to have a contested convention. He added
there are plenty of primaries left
so “let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”
In a meaty discussion of Social
Security, Cruz and Rubio both
said they’d gradually lift the

retirement age for younger workers to help stabilize the system
and stave off financial disaster
for the program.
Trump, in contrast, said he’d
do “everything within my power
not to touch Social Security, to
leave it the way it is.”
On that issue, the GOP frontrunner couldn’t resist taking a
dig at the Democrats, saying he’d
been watching them intensely —
”even though it’s a very, very boring thing to watch” — and that
they weren’t doing anything on
Social Security.
Trump was questioned about
whether he had set a tone at his
rallies that fueled violent
encounters between supporters
and protesters.
“I truly hope not,” he said, but
added that many of his supporters have “anger that is unbelievable” about how the country is
being run and that some of protesters were “bad dudes.”
In the race for Republican delegates, Trump has 459, Cruz
360, Rubio 152 and Kasich 54. It
takes 1,237 to win the
Republican nomination for president.
Some New England U.S. rebuts Apple claim on password reset
lawmakers propose
leaving Eastern Time
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) —
As most Americans brace
themselves for losing an hour
of sleep this weekend, some
corners of the country are
considering bold alternatives
to daylight saving time.
California has a bill that
would ask voters to abolish
the practice of changing
clocks
twice
a
year.
Lawmakers in Alaska and
nearly a dozen other states
are debating similar measures. Some lawmakers in New
England want to go even further, seceding from the populous Eastern Time Zone and
throwing their lot in with
Nova Scotia and Puerto Rico.
“Once we spring forward, I
don’t want to fall back,” said
Rhode Island state Rep. Blake
Filippi, who hopes the whole
region will shift one hour eastward, into the Atlantic Time
Zone. “Pretty much everyone I
speak to would rather have it
light in the evening than light
first thing in the morning,” he
said.
Opponents of daylight saving time argue that traffic
accidents, heart attacks and
strokes increase when we
change time, and that contrary to popular belief, it does
not save electricity.
Shifting to Atlantic Time
and never changing back
would effectively make summertime daylight saving hours
permanent, said Filippi, who
made a public health case for
his bill at a Rhode Island State
House hearing this week.
Evening commutes would
be safer with more sunlight.
Wintertime lifestyles and mental health could improve.
The biggest downside,
Filippi said, would that Rhode
Island children going to school
in early January wouldn’t see
the sun rise until 8:13 a.m.
under Atlantic Time. But he
argues that could propel
school districts to start classes
later, more in line with the
wiring of adolescent brains.
Inspired by long-shot legislation in Massachusetts,
Filippi’s bill would have Rhode
Island follow the neighboring
state’s lead if it ever defects.
He hopes New Hampshire,
Vermont and Maine would
then see the light. He figures
there’s
little
chance
Connecticut would join in,
since so many of its residents
commute to New York City.
States can exempt themselves from daylight savings
under the federal Uniform
Time Act, but moving to a different time zone requires
approval from Congress or the
U.S.
Department
of
Transportation, which must
consider the effect on commerce.
And that raises perhaps the
biggest challenge to this temporal secession movement in
tradition-bound New England:
Do its people really want to
stand more with eastern
Canada and the distant
Caribbean than the rest of the
eastern United States? The
effect on transit alone — forcing Amtrak and airlines to
recalibrate schedules and
commuters to change time
zones whenever they cross the
New York state line — could
involve many unwelcome
costs.
“For commerce and transportation, it’s a terrible idea,”
said Michael Downing, an
English professor at Tufts
University who wrote “Spring
Forward:
The
Annual
Madness of Daylight Saving
Time,” a history of the phenomenon.
Downing doubts residents
of Boston, Providence and
Hartford would choose to synchronize watches with Canada
over
New
York
and
Washington. After all, syncing
up with New York’s banks has
been so important that cities
as far away as Detroit successfully petitioned to join the
Eastern time zone decades
ago, he said.
Nearly half the U.S. population now lives on Eastern
Time, but New England juts
much farther east than anywhere else, giving it some of
the country’s earliest winter
sunsets. During standard
time, the December sun currently sets as early as 4:15
p.m. in Providence, 4:11 p.m.
in Boston and 3:45 p.m. in
Frenchville, Maine. That’s
nearly as bad as Anchorage,
Alaska, where during the
short Arctic winter, the sun
sets as early as 3:40 p.m.
But those who would abandon daylight savings are fooling themselves if they think we
can reward ourselves with
more time, said Downing, who
grew up in the Berkshires
region of Massachusetts.
“Even the heartiest of New
Englanders have a hibernating instinct for three or four
months a year” and won’t likely use the extra evening light
to hang out outside, he said.
“Most people in New England
feel the stab of pain in the fall
when we return to standard
time. There’s no question. But
I don’t think that will translate
into willingness in December,
January and February of not
seeing the sunlight until 8 or 9
in the morning.”
Health
advocate
Tom
Emswiler helped plant the
Atlantic Time Zone idea in the
popular imagination with his
widely-shared opinion column
for the Boston Globe in the
fall. “All of New England
should
adopt
Atlantic
Standard Time, but we don’t
have a New England legislature so we have to start somewhere,” Emswiler said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A decision to reset the password on an
iCloud account associated with
one of the San Bernardino
attackers did not effectively
thwart the investigation into the
shooting, FBI officials said in a
court filing as part of the
Justice Department’s ongoing
encryption dispute with Apple
Inc.
FBI Director James Comey
testified before Congress last
week that “there was a mistake”
made when the FBI asked San
Bernardino County, California,
which owned the phone, to reset
the password for an account
tied to Syed Farook, who along
with his wife killed 14 people in
the December 2 shootings.
Authorities were hoping that
way to recover at least some of
the stored data even while the
phone was locked.
In a sworn declaration submitted Thursday, Christopher
Pluhar, an FBI agent involved in
processing the evidence, said
the password reset did not harm
the investigation. Farook’s
iPhone, which was found powered off, had the iCloud backups turned off for his mail, photos and notes, and aren’t
believed to be complete, Pluhar
said. And even with a full set of
backups,
the
Justice
Department said, the government would still have needed to
search the phone “in order to
leave no stone unturned” in the
investigation.
The statement is aimed at
rebutting earlier claims from
Apple that said that if the FBI
had not changed the iCloud
password, its engineers could
have helped investigators use a
known — and therefore trusted
— wireless connection to trick
the iPhone from automatically
backing up to iCloud.
The statement was part of a
broader Justice Department filing designed to encourage a federal magistrate to affirm her
decision last month to force
Apple to help the FBI gain
access to Farook’s phone.
In the filing, federal prosecutors argued that the phone likely holds evidence of the eventual
attack, and the government and
community “need to know” what
is on the device. Apple alone has
the ability to help, and doing so
is not unduly burdensome, the
government said.
The brief, which sets the stage
for a March 22 hearing in
Southern California, marks a
further escalation of rhetoric
between the federal government
and one of the world’s largest
technology companies.
“In short, Apple is not some
distant, disconnected third
party unexpectedly and arbitrarily dragooned into helping
solve a problem for which it
bears no responsibility,” Justice
Department lawyers wrote.
“Rather, Apple is intimately
close to the barriers on Farook’s
locked iPhone because Apple
specifically designed the iPhone
to create those barriers.”
Apple responded Thursday by
saying the Justice Department
is “so desperate at this point
that it has thrown all decorum
to the winds.”
“Everybody should beware
because it seems like disagreeing with the Department of
Justice means you must be evil
and anti-American, nothing
could be further from the truth,”
Apple senior vice president and
general counsel Bruce Sewell
said in a conference call with
reporters.
The Justice Department brief
contends that as “one of the
richest and most tech-savvy”
companies in the country, Apple
has abundant resources to comply with a judge’s February 16
order and create specialized
software to help the FBI get into
the phone.
And it mocked as sensationalized arguments by Apple and
its supporters that abiding by
the judge’s decree could weaken
the security of its products,
noting that the software is
designed for only one phone
and that Apple could retain it
during the entire process.
Though Apple has suggested
that the code could be modified
to run on other phones, the
Justice Department says Apple
devices will only run software
that’s
been
electronically
“signed” by the company.
“Apple desperately wants —
desperately needs-this case not
to be ‘about one isolated
iPhone,’” Justice Department
lawyers wrote. “But there is
probable cause to believe there
is evidence of a terrorist attack
on that phone, and our legal
system gives this Court the
authority to see that it can be
searched pursuant to a lawful
warrant.”
The Justice Department
pushed back against concerns
that Apple could be compelled
to provide access to China or
other foreign governments, saying the judge’s order has no
bearing on the company’s relationships to other countries.

Lady Flames dominate
Tusculum Lady Pioneers
From LEE SPORTS INFORMATION
GREENEVILLE — From the
first pitch to the last, the day
belonged to the Lee softball team
as it outscored Tusculum 30-2 in
a doubleheader sweep on
Thursday afternoon.
The Lady Flames (11-13) rolled
to a 16-0 victory in game one and
didn't let up in the nightcap, topping the Pioneers (14-10), 14-2.
Lee will look to use the
momentum from the sweep this
weekend as it hosts No. 6 North
Alabama in a three-game weekend series at Butler Field beginning on Friday at 1 p.m.
Lee 16,
Tusculum 0
Emily Dagnan homered and
drove in five as the Lee crushed
Tusculum, 16-0 in game one of
Thursday's doubleheader.
The Lady Flames let out some
frustration as they collected 12
hits and 16 runs to abruptly end
a nine-game losing streak.
Lee wasted little time getting
the offense going with four runs
in the top of the first inning.
Ceasar got the party started with
an RBI single. Davis followed
with a run-scoring double before
Courtney Crawford delivered a
single to score Ceasar. Crawford
capped off the inning when she
stole home.
The early run support would
prove to be plenty for Lee starter
Angie Hughes (4-7) as she
cruised through three innings
allowing just two hits while striking out five to earn the victory.
Bri Eichbaum came on to pitch
the final two frames and kept the
shutout intact with two punch
outs and just one walk.
Dagnan would put the game
away in the second inning as she
launched a three-run home run
to left field to make it 7-0 Lady
Flames. Dagnan now has three
homers on the season and is hit-
ting .375.
Lynn finished with two singles
and scored three runs. Stevie
Baird also scored three runs as
every Lee starter had a hit and
scored a run in the contest.
The hits kept on coming in the
third inning as the Lady Flames
used four singles and a fielder's
choice to score eight more runs
on Tusculum.
Davis (7-5) started for the
Pioneers (14-9) and lasted just 1
1-3 innings allowing five hits and
seven runs (five earned).
Lee 14,
Tusculum 2
Dagnan had three hits and two
RBIs and finished the day with
eight RBIs and five hits to help
the Lady Flames finish off the
Pioneers in game two, 14-2.
For the second straight contest
Lee jumped on the home team
early with four runs in the first
inning. Nia Ceasar got things
going with an infield single that
scored Amanda Lynn. Hallie
Davis followed with a run-scoring
one-base knock to left field.
Rachel Polacek finished off the
rally with a single up the middle
to score two more runs.
Ceasar was at it again in the
second inning as she increased
the lead to 5-0 with a double to
left field.
Leigh Beatenbough (2-4) started and earned the win as she
tossed four innings, allowing a
pair of runs on five hits for Lee.
Hailey Clark wrapped up the
sweep with a scoreless inning of
relief.
In the fourth inning the Lady
Flames tacked on four more
runs. Macy Stovall singled home
a run to start things off. Lexie
Dean followed with a bases
loaded triple to give the Lady
Flames a commanding 9-0 lead.

Murray feels fresh after light workload in Philly
NASHVILLE (AP) — DeMarco Murray feels
good after a much lighter workload than he
prefers last season in Philadelphia, and now
the NFL’s 2014 rushing leader also has the
fresh start he wanted along with a new contract in Tennessee.
“I didn’t get as much work as would have
hoped to,” Murray said Thursday when
asked about last year at a news conference.
“I feel fresh and I feel good, but not because
of my choice.”
After signing a five-year, $40 million contract last March, Murray ran 193 times for
702 yards under coach Chip Kelly — a big
drop from his 1,845 yards with Dallas in
2014. With Kelly fired before the last game,
the Eagles traded away Murray to the Titans
simply for the price of swapping fourthround picks in April’s draft.
For the Titans, this is the first big move by
new general manager Jon Robinson to
rebuild a franchise that has gone 5-27 the
past two seasons and hasn’t reached the
playoffs since 2008.
The Titans also confirmed deals for
Texans center Ben Jones, Miami wide
receiver Rishard Matthews and veteran
quarterback Matt Cassel. The Titans hold
the No. 1 draft selection. Robinson said the
Titans also are scheduling some visits as
free agency moves past the first 24 hours.
“Today is just a start of the change that’s
coming here for this football team,”
Robinson said.
The process of adding the NFL’s offensive
player of the year in 2014 started at the NFL
combine. Robinson said they researched
Murray and credited the running back with
studying up on the Titans too. Murray said
he even talked with Hall of Fame running
back Jerome Bettis to learn about coach
Mike Mularkey, Bettis’ offensive coordinator
in Pittsburgh between 2001-03.
Murray also looked at how Mularkey used
Michael Turner in Atlanta and running
backs coach Sylvester Croom’s track record.
Murray said he likes what the Titans have
offensively with quarterback Marcus
Mariota, veteran tight end Delanie Walker
and receiver Dorial Green-Beckham.
“I think this offense is definitely fit for
myself,” Murray said.

wind-blown two-run homer off
Justin Nicolino. Francoeur, 32,
signed a minor league contract
last month and is bidding for a
roster spot.
“In spring the first two weeks
you’re trying to find your swing,”
Francoeur said. “The fun part is
just getting back in the groove.
The last two weeks is when you
start honing in, but it felt good
to get one.”
The Braves’ Adonis Garcia
doubled home a run in the first
and later singled to hike his
average to .389 (7 for 18).
The Marlins’ Jose Urena,
making his first start and second appearance of spring training, allowed three hits and one
run in 2 1-3 innings. He’s a contender for one of two vacant
spots in the rotation.
“He’s a guy with a good arm,
quality stuff and a worker,”
manager Don Mattingly said.
“People in the organization love
this kid.”
The Braves shifted three
infielders to the right side
against Don Kelly in the third
inning, so he bunted toward
third base for an easy leadoff hit
against Norris and later scored
on Miguel Rojas’ two-out single.
“We’re going to do a little bit
more shifting this year, and we
need to work on it in spring
training,” Braves manager Fredi
Gonzalez said.
The Braves’ Hector Olivera
had a double and is batting .455
while also winning positive early
reviews for his defense after
switching from third base to left
field.
“Anything he gets to he’ll
catch,” Gonzalez said. “His arm
strength has been surprisingly
good. The more comfortable he
gets, the more aggressive he’ll be
getting to flyballs. I think he’ll be
better than fine.”
Olivera was acquired from the
Dodgers last year in a threeteam trade.
Marlins Slugger Giancarlo
Stanton is expected to return to
the lineup Sunday, said.
Stanton hit several long homers
in batting practice but missed
his fifth game in a row because
of a sore right knee. He will
remain in Jupiter and take batting practice while the team
makes a two-day trip to Florida’s
west coast Friday and Saturday.
Braves catcher Tyler Flowers
(hamstring) is expected to play
today or Saturday.
UP NEXT
Marlins: RHP Jarred Cosart,
contending for a spot in the
rotation, is scheduled to start
today against Minnesota.
Braves: They have two splitsquad games today. RHP Kyle
Kendrick is scheduled to start at
home against the Phillies, and
RHP Jhoulys Chacin is to start
in Jupiter against the Cardinals.

Flames 1st in GSC All-Sports Trophy race
From Lee Sports Information
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Lee
University currently sits in first
place after the conclusion of the
winter sports season in the race
for the Gulf South Conference
All-Sports Trophy.
The Flames and Lady Flames
have 44.750 points and sit a few
percentage points ahead of No. 2
Alabama Huntsville (44.625).
On the women’s side, the Lady
Flames
have
accumulated
28.375 points and lead all GSC
schools. West Florida and Union
follow closely behind. Lee’s success is thanks in large part to
strong showings from soccer and
cross country in the fall and
women’s basketball in the winter.
The women’s soccer team finished second in the GSC and
were runner-up in the GSC tournament to earn a bid to the
NCAA National Tournament. In
cross country, the Lady Flames
finished second in the GSC
Championship.
The Lee women’s basketball
team ended its season at 20-10
overall and 15-7 in conference
play and defeated West Florida in
the opening round of the GSC
Tournament.
On the men’s side the cross
country team provided a big
boost by winning the GSC
Championship while men’s soccer was 11-5-2 overall and 6-2-1
in league play to finish third in
the regular season standings.
Men’s and women’s golf, softball, baseball, men’s and
women’s tennis and men’s and
women’s track and field will earn
points during the spring season.
The overall sports trophy
counts all sports that the school
sponsors. Regular season finish
counts toward 75 percent of the
final rank and tournament finish
makes up the other 25 percent.
The 2015-16 season marks the
first official year the Lee Athletic
Department is eligible for the
prestigious conference award
after completing the NCAA D2
three-year membership process
last summer.

The Cleveland State bats have
come alive.
The
Cougars
dominated
Wednesday’s
doubleheader
against Clark State Community
College with both games ending
early due to the 10-run rule.
“The offense came out early in
both games with early runs,” said
head coach Mike Policastro. In
game one, Cleveland State (9-8, 21) scored at least one run in each
inning taking a 13-3 victory.
Freshman first baseman Sean
McDermott finished with four
RBIs and a double. Freshman left
fielder Jordan Ransom hit two
doubles and drove in two runs.
Another player with multiple RBIs
was freshman catcher Hagan
Kennedy, who contributed three
RBIs. Freshman shortstop Blake
Thomas went 4-4, driving in a run
and scoring four times.
Right-hander Justin Coleman
earned the victory, pitching a
complete-game
three-hitter,
allowing two earned runs striking
out three and walking four.
In game two, the Cougars
blanked Clark State (0-5, 0-0) 160, shutting down the Eagle
offense.
Sophomore pitchers Christian
Amos and Matt Roueche combined to throw a no-hitter. Amos
got the win pitching four innings
striking out seven and walking
one.
In his first collegiate career at
bat, freshman Koltyn Plumb hit a
bases-loaded triple. Plumb finished with four RBIs. Thomas
also tripled in the game.
Freshman left fielder Brett
Browning doubled driving in two
runs. Sophomore second baseman Lee Gibson and freshman
third baseman Parker Cochran
also doubled.
“Hopefully we can sustain that
level of play into the conference
games this weekend against
Jackson State,” said Policastro.
The Cougars return to the field
Friday hosting Jackson State (147, 2-1) in a doubleheader. The
first pitch is scheduled for noon.

BARNESVILLE, Ga. — The
Cleveland State Community
College softball team could not
secure a victory at Gordon State
College on Tuesday.
The Lady Cougars did make
both games close, but were
unable to come out on top.
“We got outplayed, plain and
simple,” said head coach Katie
Willingham. “They worked harder
than we did and they deserved
the wins.”
In game one, Cleveland State
(10-4, 2-2) started strong with
freshman Chanler Grady hitting
a leadoff single in the top of the
first and later coming around to
score.
The Lady Highlanders tied it
up in the bottom of the second
inning when freshman Baley
Brantley hit a solo home run.
Gordon State (7-11, 0-0) put up
three more runs in the bottom of
the third, benefiting from a
squeeze bunt, sacrifice fly and
fielder’s choice.
The Lady Cougars battled back
in the top of the fourth regaining
the lead in scoring four runs.
Freshman Brittany Arnold hit a
three run home-run to tie it up
and freshman Madison Stiner
singled then scored on an error
by the GSC shortstop.
Gordon State took back the
lead in the bottom half of the
inning, scoring two runs and
adding another two in the bottom
of the sixth and winning the
game 8-5.
Game two was an offensive
battle. It was a 5-2 ballgame in
the top of the third when sophomore Mallory Souther hit a solo
home run.
Cleveland State took the lead
in the top of the fourth, scoring
four runs with Stiner belting an
RBI double and sophomore
Courtni Hammers cracking a
bases-loaded triple.
The Lady Highlanders put up a
run in the bottom of the fourth,
fifth and sixth innings tying up
the ball game.
In the final inning, the Lady
Cougars put two runs on the
board after another error.
Gordon State sealed the win in
the bottom of the seventh after
two Lady Cougars errors put
runners on base and were driven
in by two Lady Highlanders doubles.
“We need to work harder day in
and day out if we want to be successful,” said Willingham.
The Lady Cougars are currently battling a three-game losing
streak and look to return to their
winning ways Friday, hosting
Jackson State (15-3, 4-0) in a
doubleheader. The first pitch was
scheduled for noon.
Howell III shares lead at Valspar
PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) —
Charles Howell III saw a news
blurb that the Masters is a
month away, and the Augusta
native played Thursday like he
wants to be there.
In strong gusts that didn’t
subside until the final few hours
of daylight, Howell played bogeyfree and picked up two big
birdies on his way to a 4-under
67 and a share of the lead with
Keegan Bradley and Ken Duke in
the Valspar Championship.
“I was impressed I got away
with no bogeys,” Howell said. “It
was nice to get off to a good start
here on a place like this. I’m not
sure what the rest of the week
will hold, but to actually play a
nice round on a tough golf course
is good for my confidence.”
Jordan Spieth wasn’t sure
what to make of his day.
The defending champion had
to get up-and-down to save bogey
four times on his opening seven
holes, and he never recovered.
Spieth made only one birdie,
played the final 11 holes with 10
pars and a bogey and wound up
with a 76. He was nine shots
behind and in danger of missing
the cut for the second time in
three tournaments.
“I got off to a poor start and I
was behind the eight ball with
gusty winds on a tough golf
course,” Spieth said.
Duke also played bogey-free
and made birdies on the two par
3s on the back nine that were
into the wind and over the water.
Bradley was the only player to
reach 5 under on a day that featured 25 mph gusts, which seem
stronger
because
the
Copperhead course at Innisbrook
is demanding in no wind at all.
Howell was in the penultimate
group, and the wind laid down
for most of the back nine. His
play was solid throughout, however, particularly the 4-iron into
a left pin that settled a foot from
the cup on the par-3 eighth. He
picked up another bonus birdie
on the par-5 11th with a 45-foot
putt.
Howell, perhaps more than any
other player from the Augusta
area, is linked to the Masters.
He hasn’t played the Masters
since he tied for 19th in 2012,
and Georgia is on his mind as
the first major of the year gets
closer.
“Always this time of the year,
the Masters’ carrot looms,”
Howell said. “When April comes
around it has a different feel —
at least for me — than the other
majors. So when the Masters
comes around and I’m not in it,
then it’s a bit of a wake-up call or
a kick in the rear to somehow
make one last push to try to get
in it.”
It’s not his desire alone, and
Howell realizes that.
He was happy to see Augusta
resident Vaughn Taylor qualify
by winning at Pebble Beach, and
Kevin Kisner (Aiken, South
Carolina) qualify through a sensational 2015. He knows that the
Masters means as much to Scott
Brown (Aiken) as him.
“It’s not like it’s more special to
me than anyone else. Everyone
feels that way about it,” Howell
said. “But yeah, it’s such a great
event. It would be nice to somehow find a way to get there.”
Howell likely would have to
win a tournament because he is
No. 128 in the world, though he
did consider one alternate route.
“I may send my application in
for the Drive, Chip and Putt,” he
said with a laugh. “Maybe I can
find a spot in Tampa to try to
qualify. Just to get on the
grounds with golf clubs in my
hands would be great.”
Bradley also needed a round
like this. He has missed the cut
in four of his five starts this year,
and recently switched to a new
swing coach. Bradley’s last victory was at Firestone in August
2012. He has fallen to No. 88 in
the world.
“It’s been tough,” Bradley said.
“It’s no fun playing poorly out
here. I see all my buddies up
there doing well and it feels not
fun to feel like you’re on the outside looking in. So I’ve been
working the hardest in my
career.”
It was hard work at
Innisbrook, especially in the
Henry, other Tide prospects take field on pro day
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) —
Derrick Henry spent much of
Alabama’s pro day as a spectator, even breaking out his phone
to time teammates on at least
one drill.
At the end, the Crimson Tide’s
Heisman Trophy-winning tailback took on another unfamiliar
role: Lining up wide to run
routes downfield and catch balls
from quarterback Jake Coker.
With dozens of NFL scouts, executives and coaches watching, the
6-foot-3, 243-pounder aimed to
show he’s more than a betweenthe-tackles running back.
Henry is hoping his NFL combine numbers, his college credentials and linebacker-like
measurements land him in the
first round of next month’s draft.
Tide coach Nick Saban
believes Henry has plenty of
skills to thrive in the NFL, and
rattles them off.
“I think when you look at
Derrick Henry you have to get
past the style points and style
issue,” Saban said. “He’s a
unique guy with a unique style.
He’s got great length, he’s got a
great stiff arm, he’s really hard
to tackle, and he’s really, really
fast.
“He can catch the ball. He’s a
really good receiver. And he can
block. So if you don’t have this
sort of pigeon-hole perception of
what a running back needs to
be, and you can get past all that
and just look at the production,
you’ll be wise in terms of how
you look at Derrick Henry and
what his performance will be for
you down the road.”
Henry’s already proven he can
run, rushing for an SEC record
2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns
as a junior before deciding to
turn pro. He streaked downfield
several times to pull in deep
balls from Coker.
“I just wanted to catch the
ball,” Henry said. He had 11
catches for 91 yards last season.
Asked if he needs a certain
scheme to succeed in the NFL,
Henry said: “All I need is a line,
and I’m good.”
Wednesday was mostly about
showing off his routes and
hands. He did that in front of
representatives from all 32 NFL
teams, including New England
coach Bill Belichick and
Indianapolis coach Chuck
Pagano, along with general managers Doug Whaley (Buffalo) and
Ryan Grigson (Colts).
Henry was not the only top
prospect for the defending
national champions to draw the
attention of the NFL executives
in attendance.
ning now, so Murray should
have a head start in learning
Tennessee’s playbook.
Mularkey also said Mariota
will be under center more than
working out of the shotgun, and
now the Titans have a tailback
in Murray to go with fullback
Jalston Fowler.
“It’s going to be that smashmouth,” Mularkey said. “You
can talk all you want about
that.”
Robinson said Jones, who has
started 43 games of 64 games
played with Houston, will primarily work at center. The Titans
started three different centers in
2014, and Robinson said he has
been impressed since talking to
Jones at the combine when the
lineman was coming out of
Georgia.
Jones, 6-foot-3 and 308
pounds, started at right and left
guard in Houston, and he started 16 games at center for the
Texans last season. He signed
his multi-year deal Thursday
and said he brings an attitude
with him.
“I got to bring something to
the table,” Jones said. “I’m not
the biggest or the tallest guy,
most athletic but by golly you’re
going to have to whip my tail
every play.
Cassel, 33, will compete with
Zach Mettenberger to back up
Mariota. Mularkey said Cassel
brings experience with over 80
starts. Mettenberger, a sixthround draft pick out of LSU in
2013, is 0-10 as a starter.

UNC opens ACC tournament by topping Pitt
WASHINGTON
(AP)
—
Seventh-ranked North Carolina
was shooting so well that arena
workers had to replace the fraying net at one end of the floor at
halftime. In the second half, the
Tar Heels gave the other net a
workout.
The regular-season ACC
champion looked every bit like it,
shooting 58.9 percent on the way
to an 88-71 rout of Pittsburgh on
Thursday in the quarterfinals of
the conference tournament. By
putting together the fourth-best
shooting performance in ACC
Tournament history, UNC (26-6)
took its initial step toward its
first conference title since 2008.
Roy Williams nodded as Berry
talked about the improved ball
movement, and UNC’s coach
pointed to a 10-0 run late in the
first half as the difference.
Williams was ready to tear into
his team at halftime before it got
six straight stops to rebound
from an early deficit.
Pitt (21-11) tied it at 45 with
15:52 left, but then the Tar
Heels got rolling. An 11-0 run
keyed by an assist and 3-pointer
from freshman guard Kenny
Williams III put the game out of
reach.
UNC was feeling it, and the
Panthers couldn’t stem the tide
in front of a boisterous partisan
crowd wearing baby blue. After
looking spry early, players eventually got worn down playing
their second game in as many
afternoons.
Forwards Jamel Artis and
Michael Young each scored 19 to
lead the Panthers, who still
should make the NCAA
Tournament despite the loss.
Gunning for a No. 1 seed, UNC
next faces either No. 19 Duke or
Notre Dame in the ACC semifinals Friday night.
The Tar Heels lost at Notre
Dame and split with archrival
Duke.
Duke rallies again
against N.C. State
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
bloodied Marshall Plumlee’s
tiebreaking three-point play with
1:14 left helped 19th-ranked
Duke overcome a second-half
deficit against North Carolina
State for the third time in three
meetings, and the reigning
NCAA champion edged the
Wolfpack 92-89 in the ACC
Tournament’s second round
Wednesday.
It was a freeflowing, fastpaced, entertaining game with
plenty of offense — and plenty of
painful-looking
collisions,
including involving Plumlee’s
nose and, separately, N.C. State
guard Anthony “Cat” Barber’s
right arm.
One measure of just how
much these teams scored at will:

against Pittsburgh in the ACC
tournament Thursday, in
Washington.
Both had shooting percentages
above 60 percent in the first half,
which ended with the Wolfpack
ahead 53-50. In all, there were
18 ties and 21 lead changes.
N.C. State already had played
Duke tight twice this season. On
Jan. 23, the Wolfpack led 43-36
at halftime at home before losing
by 10. And in the rematch at
Cameron Indoor Stadium two
weeks later, Duke again trailed
in the second half before winning by eight.
Duke (23-9) faces defending
ACC tournament champion
Notre Dame in the quarterfinals.
The Fighting Irish beat the Blue
Devils in last year’s semifinals.
Freshmen Brandon Ingram
and Luke Kennard scored 22
points apiece for Duke, while
Grayson Allen added 19, and
Plumlee contributed 17 points,
10 rebounds, four blocks — and
the game’s final points. Plumlee
grabbed an offensive rebound,
made the putback while being
fouled, then added the free
throw.
Barber then had a turnover
and a missed half-court shot on
the last two possessions for N.C.
State (16-17). He led the
Wolfpack with 29 points and
seven assists, managing to keep
his team in the game late despite
getting hurt while diving to the
court in a chase with Allen for a
loose ball with a little under 15
minutes to go.
Barber was treated on the
sideline and missed a minute of
game action before returning
with a white sleeve on his right
arm.
He missed some free throws
late, including after Allen was
whistled for a flagrant-1 foul
after grabbing at the jersey of the
ACC’s leading scorer on a fast
break.

cellphone videos that miraculously capture once-in-a-lifetime mistakes.
The house cat crashes headfirst into
the aquarium glass while lunging for the
oblivious guppy. Grandpa falls over
backwards in his recliner and slings
spaghetti on the ceiling. The neighbor
falls off his roof while cleaning his gutter.
More and more videos like this pop up
on social media every day. Some catch
on and garner millions of views across
the world. Some make the evening news.
Some do both.
The concept is nothing new. For years,
we’ve been subjected to TV shows that
highlight the lowlights of our lives. You
know: toddler, plastic baseball bat,
unsuspecting dad grilling burgers,
whack.
It has become an epidemic over the
last couple of years, however. I guess it’s
StorieS of

gone mad

because everyone now has a video camera in their hand 24 hours a day.
If you’re familiar with my criticism of
social media in general, you will have no
trouble believing I don’t really care for
this trend. These videos usually show
someone getting hurt, or at the very
least, humiliated. I’ve never understood
why watching someone be humiliated is
funny — except in cases when they are
pulling some stunt that proves their
brains haven’t fully evolved. Then it’s
OK, I suppose.
I have come to accept this voyeurism
as part of human nature. But, what
really gets me is how most of these
spontaneous events ever get videoed in
the first place.
“What are you doing?”
“Filming grandpa eating spaghetti in
the recliner.”
“Why?”
“In case he falls over backwards and
slings it all over the ceiling.”
“Well, that’s never going to hap— oh,
Grandpa, are you OK?”
And, the laughter ensues.
Maybe some people just have a knack
of knowing when something crazy is
about to happen.
Apparently, no one in my neighborhood has that knack. And, a few weeks
ago, I wish they did.
I was running — well, at the time I
was walking, but let’s not get caught up
in details — and I hit a patch of ice.
If I must say so myself, the next three
seconds were a thing of beauty.
My right foot slid back. I lunged forward, tucked my right shoulder, turned
a flip with the grace of a gazelle and
popped back up without ever missing a
beat.
For three seconds, I was one part
Navy SEAL and one part running back
converting 4-and-2 in the Super Bowl.
What should’ve been a compound
fracture turned out to be a legitimate
entry for that day’s SportsCenter Top 10
Plays.
As hard as it is to believe, though,
Elmer down the street apparently wasn’t
filming me walking that day. I didn’t
really expect it, but I still held on to
hope I would see myself when I fired up
Facebook later that morning.
Thanks for nothing, Elmer. Would you
have been filming if an airsick pigeon
had landed on my head?
Right now as I sit here, I’m watching
our cat bathe the parts of herself she is
most proud of, and I’m not filming it. If
she knocks over the chair into the
grandfather clock and it crashes
through the window, the insurance
company will just have to take my word
for it.
Let me leave you with some advice.
The next time you’re walking down the
sidewalk and see a circus clown pedaling
a unicycle toward an unsuspecting hot
dog vendor, turn around. Run.
It isn’t going to end well; and, if you
get too close, you might just end up with
relish all over your face.
If things keep going the way they are
now, the whole unfortunate incident will
be preserved in computer-land forever.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Friday, March 11, the
71st day of 2016. There are 295
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 11, 1888, the
Blizzard of ’88, also known as the
“Great White Hurricane,” began
inundating the northeastern
United States, resulting in some
400 deaths.
On this date:
In 1861, the Constitution of
the Confederate States of
America was adopted by the
Confederate
Congress
in
Montgomery, Alabama.
In 1865, during the Civil War,
Union forces under Gen. William
T.
Sherman
occupied
Fayetteville, North Carolina.
In 1916, future British Prime
Minister Harold Wilson was born
in Huddersfield, Yorkshire,
England.
In 1935, the Bank of Canada
began operations, issuing its first
series of bank notes.
In 1942, as Japanese forces
continued to advance in the
Pacific during World War II, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur left the
Philippines
for
Australia.
(MacArthur, who subsequently
vowed, “I shall return,” kept that
promise more than 2½ years
later.)
In 1954, the U.S. Army
charged that Sen. Joseph R.
McCarthy, R-Wis., and his subcommittee’s chief counsel, Roy
Cohn, had exerted pressure to
obtain favored treatment for Pvt.
G. David Schine, a former consultant to the subcommittee.
(The confrontation culminated in
the famous Senate Army-
McCarthy hearings.)
In 1965, the Rev. James J.
Reeb, a white minister from
Boston, died two days after being
beaten by whites during civil
rights disturbances in Selma,
Alabama.
In 1977, more than 130
hostages held in Washington,
D.C., by Hanafi Muslims were
freed after ambassadors from
three Islamic nations joined the
negotiations.
In 1986, the state of Georgia
pardoned Leo Frank, a Jewish
businessman who had been
lynched in 1915 for the murder
of 13-year-old Mary Phagan.
In 1993, Janet Reno was
unanimously confirmed by the
Senate to be attorney general.
In 2004, ten bombs exploded
in quick succession across the
commuter rail network in
Madrid, Spain, killing 191 people
in an attack linked to al-Qaidainspired militants.
In 2012, sixteen Afghan villagers — mostly women and children — were shot dead as they
slept by U.S. Army Staff Sgt.
Robert Bales, who later pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to life
in prison without parole.
Ten years ago: Former Serb
leader Slobodan Milosevic was
found dead of a heart attack in
his prison cell in the
Netherlands, abruptly ending his
four-year U.N. war crimes trial
for orchestrating a decade of conflict that had killed a quarter of a
million people; he was 64.
Michelle Bachelet was sworn in
as Chile’s first female president.
Five years ago: A magnitude-
FDA settles with drugmaker
in a fish-oil marketing case
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
maker of a prescription fish-oil
drug says it has reached a legal
settlement that will allow it to promote unapproved uses of its drug
for lowering fat levels.
The closely watched case
between Amarin and the Food and
Drug
Administration
could
strengthen the drug industry’s
hand in the ongoing debate over
promoting drugs for uses that have
not been declared safe and effective
by regulators.
But the FDA said Tuesday the
settlement is “specific to this particular case and situation,” and did
not mark a new legal precedent.
“The FDA is responsible for protecting the American public by
helping to ensure medical products
meet the rigorous legal standards
for safety and effectiveness for their
intended uses,” the agency said in
a statement.
Still, pharmaceutical experts
said companies would likely pursue more aggressive legal action
against FDA, in light of the settle-
ment.
“We would expect companies
throughout the country to ask
courts to provide the same legal
reasoning,” said attorney John
Fleder, who was not involved in the
case.
In August, Amarin won a surprise victory over the FDA when a
U.S. District Court judge ruled that
the company had a First
Amendment right to distribute
journal articles about unapproved
indications for Vascepa.
Amarin said in a statement
Tuesday that the FDA agreed to be
bound by the earlier court decision.
Drugmakers are not allowed to
advertise drugs for “off-label” uses,
or those that have not been cleared
by the FDA as safe and effective.
But companies’ ability to distribute
independent materials about their
drugs — such as medical journal
articles — has been subject to
years of legal debate centering
around the limits of “commercial
speech.”
9.0 earthquake and resulting
tsunami struck Japan’s northeastern coast, killing nearly
20,000 people and severely damaging the Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear power station. Wisconsin
Gov. Scott Walker signed a measure to eliminate most union
rights for public employees, a
proposal which had provoked
three weeks of loud, relentless
protests. NFL owners and players
broke off labor negotiations
hours before their contract
expired; the union decertified
and the league imposed a lockout
that lasted 4½ months.
Songwriter Hugh Martin, whose
works included “Have Yourself a
Merry Little Christmas” and “The
Trolley Song,” died in Encinitas,
California, at age 96.
One year ago: The police chief
of the St. Louis suburb of
Ferguson resigned in the wake of
a scathing Justice Department
report prompted by the fatal
shooting of an unarmed black
18-year-old by a white police officer. Jimmy Greenspoon, 67, the
keyboardist for rock band Three
Dog Night, died in North
Potomac, Maryland.

Dear Annie: My son is 36 years
old and was raised in a Christian
home. However, twice in the last
two months, he has posted pictures
on Facebook of women being hit by
men. The first was a cartoon, and
he posted it on his teenage daughter’s page. I sent him a message
asking if he thought it was a good
idea to tell his daughter that it is
OK to be hit. He removed the post,
but there was no explanation or
apology.
Then last week, he posted a video
of a man doing a parody of a kung
fu fighter kicking a woman in the
head. Because they played a rock
song in the background, you are
supposed to think that it is funny. I
told my son it was inappropriate.
His wife made excuses, saying it
was not intended to be mean.
Am I out of line telling him that it
is inappropriate to post such
things? — A Mother
Dear Mother: Your son is a
grown man, and he gets to post
what he likes on his Facebook
page. If others find these images
objectionable, they can tell him so.
Expecting him to “listen to his
mother” is probably not going to get
you anywhere, and may end up
with you being blocked from his
page. You have registered your
complaint. He knows how you feel
and why. We hope his wife and
daughter will likewise tell him that
these pictures are offensive and
inappropriate. Other than that,
Mom, leave it alone.
Dear Annie: My sister lives with
my father. She is supposed to be
helping him, but she has a problem
with depression and self-medicates
with marijuana and alcohol.
Do you have any recommendations as to how to handle her? She
is so difficult to work with, and will
not admit that she needs help. —
Concerned Siblings
Dear Siblings: We’re not sure
what you are looking to do. Is the
drinking and pot use excessive?
Does your sister neglect or abuse
your father? Have you spoken to
your father? Has he voiced any
complaints? Are you willing to take
Dad into your home to better care
for him? Can you afford to hire
occasional help for Dad?
It’s unlikely that you will convince your sister to treat her
depression by talking to a doctor or
a therapist. You have tried discussing it, to no avail. Unless you
are willing to remove Dad from the
home, you have little influence on
her forms of relaxation. If she is
abusive or neglectful, report the situation to Adult Protective Services.
And whenever possible, please take
over so that your sister can get a
break. Being the primary caregiver
is a tough job, no matter what
shape you’re in, and it may be more
stressful for your sister than you
realize.

Happy Birthday: Put the negativity
in your life out of sight. You need to surround yourself with people who are

By Conrad Day
upbeat. Focus on bringing more joy
and satisfaction into your everyday life.
Opportunity is within reach if you are
willing to do your part and go after what
you want. Invest in yourself, not someone else. Your numbers are 8, 13, 25,
29, 33, 46.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be bold
and be different. Speak up and strive
for equality in all your relationships, but
don't argue over trivial matters. It's best
to have a give-and-take attitude if you
want to achieve balance. A disciplined
attitude will pay off.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your
persuasive ways will help you get others to do things your way. Lead the way
by showing dedication, loyalty and
determination, and you will make a
lasting impression. Love and romance
will enhance your personal life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The versatility you offer will make a difference
to group endeavors. Bring about personal changes that will improve the
way you live. Make romance a priority.
A personal or financial investment will
turn out much better than anticipated.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A creative idea will impress someone you
want to work with. Research and collaboration will lead you in the right
direction. An unusual request will help
push you to expand and explore bigger
options.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't be too
trusting of something that sounds too
good to be true. Investing in someone
else's plan won't end up being to your
benefit. Don't let your emotions come
between you and reason. Put your
money in a safe place.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Find out
exactly where you stand. Listen carefully to the response you get and you
will start to understand something you
never noticed before. Observing someone's body language will help you decipher what's really going on. Make selfimprovement a priority.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Expect to
face uncertainty in your relationships
with others. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you feel you are receiving mixed
signals. Don't make an impulsive decision based on speculation. Look out for
your best interests and don't give in to
bribery.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Pressure anyone who is reluctant to
share opinions with you. It's important
to get the lowdown if you intend to
make a decision that will have an
impact on others. Your ideas may be
good for you, but a detriment to someone else.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Say little and do a lot. Your response
and physical action will put you in a better position. Honesty will help you avoid
rumors, but don't trust anyone who tries
to pry into your personal affairs. Keep
your explanations simple and precise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Speak up and ask for favors. Someone
will end up having more to offer you
than you expect. A chance to travel
should be taken advantage of. A retreat
or course will do you good. Love is
highlighted.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do
whatever it takes to bring order out of
chaos. A change to the way you do
things will give you an idea that can
help you improve your income. Stay on
top of economic trends and new technology. Focus on change.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You'll
make a good impression on the people
you fraternize with, allowing you to
share ideas and be given valuable
input. Getting together with people you
haven't seen for a long time will be
enlightening.
Birthday Baby: You are thoughtful,
passionate and alert. You are particular
and curious.
Review: ‘London Has Fallen,’ a ludicrous sequel on steroids
By LINDSEY BAHR
AP Film Writer
“London Has Fallen” never
pretends to be anything it’s not.
The sequel to Antoine Fuqua’s
big, dumb and kind of fun
“Olympus Has Fallen,” is bigger,
dumber, jaw-droppingly shameless and also kind of a riot. It is
just so spectacularly clichéd and
over-the-top that all you can do
is laugh.
The craziest thing is how they
convinced everyone to reprise
their roles. A dare? Fond memories? Or perhaps the $161 million worldwide box office receipts
didn’t hurt either. In any event,
Aaron Eckhart is back as U.S.
President Benjamin Asher,
Angela Bassett as Lynne the
Secret Service Director, Morgan
Freeman as the Vice President
and, of course, Gerard Butler as
Secret Service Agent Mike
Banning — the guy who saved
the country from an improbably
big assault on the White House
just three years ago.
The only one missing is director Antoine Fuqua and you feel
it. He’s been replaced with
Swedish director Babak Najafi in
his English-language debut.
Fuqua might not have been at
his best with “Olympus Has
Fallen” but he’s still a skilled
director. “London Has Fallen” is a
lot more cartoony.
This time, the president, Mike
and Lynn head off to London for
the funeral of the British Prime
Minister where 40 other heads of
state are expected. And, as is
want for the unluckiest administration in history, there’s a largescale, hyper-coordinated attack
in the moments before the funeral as the terrorists pick off world
leaders in various comical locations around the city. The
French PM is on a luxury motor
boat with champagne, the
Japanese PM is stuck in traffic
on a bridge, and the older Italian
PM is up on the rooftop of
Westminster Abbey with his
young girlfriend because “you
only turn 30 once.”
One of the only ones to get out
alive is the U.S. president, and
he and Mike begin an unbelievable run around the city to try to
find safety. All that’s missing was
a montage of them trying on
some civilian clothes so that they
aren’t running around the desolate streets in their “hey, I’m the
president and his protector
three-piece navy suits.” That,
sadly, does not happen.
David Appleby/Grammercy Pictures/Focus Features via AP
This imAGe released by Focus Features shows Aaron Eckhart, left, and Gerard Butler in a scene
from Grammercy Pictures' "London Has Fallen."
Anyone who saw the first one
knows that this is not an action
movie that’s based in any sort of
reality. It’s an action movie based
on other action movies. The lines
are big, the jokes are dumb, the
through-the-temple shots and
ensuing blood splatter gratuitous, the logic infuriating, and
the gunfire relentless. At one
point, when Mike and the
President are in relative safety,
Mike confirms to a terrorist via
intercom that, yes, he is the one
with the president.
Mike also might be a murderous sociopath. When President
Ben asks what he’s made of, he
says “bourbon and bad decisions.” He also prefers the close
contact knife kill to simple gun
shots and makes jokes like “I
knew you’d come out of the closet sometime” when the president
emerges to save him from a terrorist.
The terrorists, by the way, are
led by a powerful international
arms dealer (Alon Moni
Aboutboul) who is out for
vengeance after a drone strike
targeting him ended up killing
his daughter at her wedding. For
such an epic and comprehensive
operation, his goals are fuzzy at
best. It’s a wonder how he was
able to turn all those British
police and royal guards into his
own personal army with a vague
“change the world” message.
But that’s too much thinking
for a movie that is ultimately just
mindless bluster. It remains sobad-its-good fun, too, until the
final third which devolves into
some troubling Middle Eastern
stereotypes
and
rah-rah
American patriotic posturing as
contrast.
This sort of movie was made
for television viewing. You could
tune in or out at any moment
and really not miss anything. Or
just have a drink beforehand and
bring your rowdiest friends to the
theater.
“London Has Fallen,” a
Gramercy Pictures release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for
“strong violence and language
throughout.” Running time: 99
minutes. One and a half stars
out of four.

8 p.m. on (WFLI)
Just for Laughs Starring Howie Mandel
The veteran comedian and “America’s Got
Talent” judge hosts a showcase for other
humorists, recorded at a 2015 festival in
Montreal. The program features such current talents as Jeff Ross, Pete Holmes
and Jim Breuer, but it also includes recollections by some of the other comics who
have played the event over the past three
decades. Jon Stewart and Eddie Izzard are
among the many humorous talents who
have had the spotlight there.
8 p.m. on (WTVC)
Last Man Standing
Mike (Tim Allen) decides to give Vanessa
(Nancy Travis) her space — literally — by
building her a freestanding structure where
she can do her work in the new episode
“He Shed, She Shed.” His plan to let her
have her own environment may be just a
little too effective. Kristin’s (Amanda Fuller)
designation as employee of the month has
a definite effect on Kyle (Christoph Sanders). Molly Ephraim, Kaitlyn Dever and Hector Elizondo also star.
9 p.m. on (WRCB)
Grimm
The fantasy-drama’s 100th episode, “Into
the Schwarzwald,” puts Nick and Monroe
(David Giuntoli, Silas Weir Mitchell) onto a
major discovery: a long-hidden treasure that
they locate in Germany. While they’re away
from Portland, Hank, Wu and Capt. Renard
(Russell Hornsby, Reggie Lee, Sasha Roiz)
try to stop a killer — unaware that Eve
(Bitsie Tulloch) also is pursuing the felon.
Rosalee (Bree Turner) has to face a person
from her past.
9 p.m. on (WDEF)
Hawaii Five-0
The stakes are personal for McGarrett
(Alex O’Loughlin) and the team in seeking
a Russian spy who’s stolen a flash drive of
classified information in the new episode
“Waiwai” (Hawaiian for “Assets”). Among
the facts contained are some about one of
their associates, potentially endangering
that person’s life. McGarrett is stunned to
learn the real reason Catherine departed
from Hawaii again. Abby (Julie Benz) pursues her secret assignment.

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Most people know Bill Nye as “The Science
Guy,” thanks to his efforts to educate kids
— and the public at large, really — about
the exciting possibilities of science. This episode, however, shows whether Nye earns
a second reputation as “The Comedy Chap”
when he joins cast regulars Ryan Stiles,
Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie, along with
guest star Greg Proops, for some improv
games. Host Aisha Tyler awards points and
declares a winner.

in Bossier Parish, La., Thursday.
Governor to visit swamped
northern portion of Louisiana
BOSSIER CITY, La. (AP) —
Record-setting flooding in
northern Louisiana prompted
numerous high-water rescues of
stranded families and animals
and officials said some levees
could overflow Friday.
Davyon Hill, a meteorologist
with the National Weather
Service’s office in Shreveport,
said skies cleared Thursday in
the region but the area was not
yet out of the woods.
“It’s not over with,” he said.
“There’s still part of a low pressure system that’s in central
Texas that is moving this way,
and overnight it will likely bring
another bout of rain to the
region.”
If weather permits Friday,
Louisiana Gov. John Bel
Edwards planned to tour
Shreveport and Bossier City and
Monroe, the governor’s spokeswoman Shauna Sanford said.
Edwards late Thursday issued
a statewide declaration of emergency in light of the severe
weather that’s already hit those
areas and predictions of more
rain.
Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Lt.
Bill Davis said two more subdivisions in south Bossier City
and the area immediately
around and next to Louisiana
Downs racetrack were now
under a mandatory evacuation.

subdivisions were added to the
list late Thursday.
Davis said Red Chute Bayou
above Interstate 20 was still rising, and officials anticipate the
levees will likely overtop by
Friday morning.
Michael Konnovich Jr., 45,
his wife and two children have
lived in the Golden Meadow subdivision for about 12 years. In
that time, he said he’s never
seen as much water as he’s seen
in the past few days.
“Typically, it will come up and
drain off,” he said. “But not this
time. The water is just over my
5-foot chain link fence. I just
don’t know where this water is
coming from.”
So far, Konnovich said, water
has not entered his home but
adds if the predicted overnight
rain is between 3 and 5 inches,
it will creep inside. He said he,
friends and neighbors had been
sandbagging his home and oth-
ers in the neighborhood since
early Thursday in an effort to
ward off the rising water.
“I am truly blessed by this
community and the friendships
I have for helping with these
sandbags,” he said.
State officials said a 6-yearold girl was among three people
killed in Louisiana during two
days of severe weather that left
roads covered in water and sent
more than 1,000 people fleeing
their homes.
Edwards said he authorized
Major Gen. Glenn Curtis, adjutant general for the Louisiana
National Guard, to deploy up to
750 guard members in flooded
areas. Curtis said the Guard
had deployed roughly 400 people along with 30 to 35 “highwater vehicles” and 15 to 18
boats to assist in search-andrescue operations in north
Louisiana.
Guard
spokeswoman
Rebekah Malone said the Guard
has evacuated 361 people from
homes in Bossier, Ouachita and
Morehouse parishes since
Wednesday. Guardsmen have
also evacuated 70 dogs, 16
chickens and even a guinea pig.
In Bossier City — across the
Red River from Shreveport —
about 3,500 homes were under
a mandatory evacuation as a
precaution because a bayou was
approaching the top of its levee.
Many north Louisiana corn
fields got more than 10 to 12
inches of rain as the seedlings
were just sprouting, Dan
Fromme, an LSU AgCenter corn
expert, said in a blog post
Thursday. He said they can’t
survive more than 2 to 4 days of
flooding before they’ve grown six
leaves.
However, he said in an email,
damage assessments won’t be
possible until “the later part of
next week,” at the earliest.
Rain also pummeled parts of
Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas,
Tennessee and Mississippi.
In southern Arkansas, heavy
rainfall prompted the closure of
some schools and roads, and
forecasters said the deluge will
continue there for the rest of the
week. Meteorologists with the
National Weather Service say
officials have reported water
rescues and evacuations near
Dermott, Arkansas, as water
U.S. official: Iran responsible
for cyberattack at N.Y. dam
NEW YORK (AP) — A probe by
the Justice Department has
determined that Iran was
responsible for a 2013 cyberattack on a dam in the suburbs
outside of New York City, and an
indictment is expected soon, a
U.S. official told The Associated
Press Thursday.
The official, who was briefed
on the investigation, spoke to
the AP on condition of anonymity because the official was not
authorized to speak publicly
about the ongoing criminal
investigation.
In 2013, hackers accessed the
control system at the Bowman
Avenue Dam, a small structure
in Rye Brook, about 20 miles
north of New York City, that’s
used for flood control.
The intrusion allowed the
hackers to probe the system,
prompting a federal investigation.
The official told the AP that
investigators have determined
Iran was responsible for the
cyberattack and that an indictment is expected to be handed
down in the case from the U.S.
attorney’s office in Manhattan.
rises in low-lying areas.
The National Weather Service
says 3 to 10 inches of rain has
fallen in counties along the
Mississippi River in western
Tennessee, eastern Arkansas
and northern Mississippi since
late Tuesday, flooding roads,
parking lots and fields. The
flood threat is expected to continue into Friday, as another 1
to 3 inches of rain could fall in
the Mississippi Delta region,
meteorologist Scott McNeil said.
One weather-related drowning was reported in both
Oklahoma and Texas earlier this
week.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior
House Republican on Thursday
reprised a proposal to cut child
tax credits for immigrants working in the U.S. illegally.
Powerful Ways and Means
Committee Chairman Kevin
Brady, R-Texas, also wants
tougher rules to reclaim overpayments of health insurance
tax subsidies under the new
health care law as part of package to cut spending by $98 billion over 10 years.
The move is part of an effort
designed to help GOP leaders
make progress in passing the
House’s annual budget blueprint.
The spending cuts are
designed to move in tandem with
the GOP budget plan to ease tea
party opposition to the broader
measure. A band of conservatives opposes the nonbinding
budget plan since it endorses
last year’s bipartisan budget and
debt deal, which increased
spending for annual agency
budgets.
GOP leaders such as Budget
Committee Chairman Tom Price,
R-Ga., have floated the idea of
$30 billion in spending cuts over
the next two years as a way to
build support for his broader
budget plan. Those cuts would
grow far larger over a decade.
Brady is the first chairman to
publicly step forward. The Ways
and Means panel has extensive
jurisdiction over taxes and
health care and Republicans on
the panel have fashioned a variety of ready-made proposals for
cutting spending.
“The American people want
Congress to fight fraud and cut
wasteful spending — and that’s
what these bills do,” Brady said

It wasn’t clear whether the
indictment would charge specific people within the Iranian government or publicly name Iran
as being behind the attack. A
formal announcement was
expected to be made as soon as
mid-April, the official said.
Officials in Rye said in
December that they had been
alerted by the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security about
unauthorized access to the city’s
computer system.
At a news briefing Thursday,
State Department spokesman
Mark Toner declined to specifically comment on the prospects
that Iran would be charged in
the cyberattack, but said: “I
would say broadly that we obviously take all, seriously all such
malicious activity in cyberspace.
We’re going to continue to use
all the tools at our disposal to
deter, detect, counter, and mitigate that kind of activity.”
A spokesman for the Islamic
Republic of Iran’s Permeant
Mission to the United Nations
did not immediately respond to
a request for comment Thursday
March 11, 18, 25, 2016
night.
in a statement.
Later Thursday, the Energy
and
Commerce
panel
announced a vote next week on
a less ambitious package that
would cut the federal government’s contribution to the State
Children’s Health Insurance
Program, eliminate a fund that
provides grants for disease prevention, and cut off a loophole
that allows winners of big lottery
prizes to stay on Medicaid. It
would save $25 billion over 10
years.
Other committees may be
more reluctant. The Agriculture
panel, for instance, is fiercely
protective of farm subsidies.
And Senate Democrats would
be sure to block the cuts if a vote
were scheduled in that chamber.
Some moderate Republicans
might be reluctant to go along as
well.
The cuts affecting immigrants
would deny a refundable child
tax credit to immigrant workers
who don’t have a Social Security
number but use an IRS identification number to file their taxes.
Opponents say the cut means
their children, many of whom
are U.S. citizens since they were
born here, won’t benefit from the
tax credit. It would save almost
$5 billion over two years.
The plan to take back subsidies
under
so-called
“Obamacare” would save more
money, almost $9 billion over
two years. It would apply, for
instance, to people whose
income or employment situations improve and make them no
longer eligible for the size of the
credit they have claimed.
Brady would also eliminate
the Social Services Block Grant,
which provides flexible grants to
states for services to the poor
such as foster care, protective
services for children, and day
care. Brady’s staff called it “nostrings-attached slush fund for
states.”

BIG EAST
NCAA Locks: Villanova, Xavier, Seton Hall
Bubble Teams: Providence, Butler
What’s at Stake: Villanova is looking to clinch a No. 1 seed in the NCAA
Tournament in back-to-back seasons. … If Xavier can reach the title game
and beat Villanova, the Musketeers would have two wins over the Wildcats
in the last three weeks and could get a No. 1 seed. … Two teams that looked
like locks back in January — Providence and Butler — play in a secondround game. The Bulldogs need the game more than the Friars, but Providence
should be nervous on Selection Sunday if it fails to win at least one game this
weekend. … Seton Hall should feel pretty safe about reaching the NCAA

beating Creighton.
Prediction: No. 1 Villanova over No. 2 Xavier

ups with Ohio State, Maryland, Wisconsin and Iowa. Now, the Wolverines
need to win at least one game in Indianapolis … Despite wins over Kentucky
and Iowa this season, Ohio State is a long shot for an at-large bid thanks to
early bad losses. The Buckeyes will get a second look if they can knock off
Michigan State. Ohio State lost twice to the Spartans by 34 points combined.
Prediction: No. 2 Michigan State over No. 1 Indiana

his career in a flurry. He had 22 points and

PAC-12
NCAA Locks: Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Cal
Bubble Teams: Colorado, USC, Oregon State
What’s at Stake: Oregon and Utah are safely among the top three
seeds in the NCAA bracket and could move up. Oregon has an outside shot at a No. 1 seed. … Cal is one of the hottest teams in the
country. The Bears have won eight of their last nine, the only loss by
three points at Arizona. … Colorado and Oregon State are the most
vulnerable bubble teams in the league. The Buffaloes and Beavers
might not need to beat Arizona and Cal, respectively, but they can’t
afford to be one and done.
Prediction: No. 1 Oregon over. No. 3 Cal

Skal Labissiere,
Kentucky
For most of the season, Kentucky has
been waiting for its
prized freshman big
man to look the part.
The wait is over. Forward
Skal Labissiere entered the
week averaging 6.2 points and
2.8 rebounds per game. For
most of the season, the 6'11", 225-pound native of Haiti
has been a bad fit as a post player. Now playing in a comfort zone further away from the basket, Labissiere broke
out for 11 points and eight rebounds in a win over Florida.
He then exploded for 18 points, nine rebounds and six
blocks against LSU. Labissiere is peaking at the right time.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR WATCH
1. Denzel Valentine, Michigan State
Valentine finished the season on a tear
to pull ahead of Buddy Hield. The senior
is the only player in at least 20 years to
average 19 points, seven rebounds and
seven assists per game.
2. Buddy Hield, Oklahoma The Sooners
guard couldn’t keep up the torrid pace
of January, but still finished the season
averaging 25.1 points per game while
shooting 51.9 percent from 2, 47.3 from 3
and 89.3 from the free throw line.
3. Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia He averaged 18.4 points per game for this season and 19.9 per game in ACC play.
4. Jakob Poeltl, Utah Utah’s offense
runs through its big man as Poeltl finished the regular season averaging 17.1
points per game and 9.1 rebounds.
5. Ben Simmons, LSU LSU did not
certify Simmons for the Wooden Award
because he didn’t meet all the criteria.
His team probably won’t make the NCAA
Tournament, but Simmons is still the
only player in at least 20 years to average
18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists
per game.
