Search continues for local brothers missing since last week
From staff reports
The search for two local brothers who went
missing in the Tennessee River one week ago
is ongoing.
Jeremiah Sanders, 29, and Jacob Sanders,
24, have not been seen since they went fishing
together in Florence last Wednesday.
Both are graduates of Cordova High School.
“We will continue to search and utilize available resources as long as is feasible,” Senior
Trooper Jonathan Appling with the Alabama
Law Enforcement Agency said Wednesday.
The brothers were reported missing around
6:45 p.m. on March 2. Their boat was discovered trapped under Singing River Bridge several hours later.
Search teams, including divers and cadaversniffing dogs, have been used in the effort to
locate the brothers. Over the weekend, the
Tennessee Valley Authority closed the Wilson
Dam spillways for several hours to allow
divers to search an area of interest.
Jacob Sanders is the bass player of the popular band the Velcro Pygmies, and his older
brother is the general manager of an Italian
restaurant in Florence.
Band members have been active in the
search effort and have canceled all shows
scheduled for the past week.
According to the band’s Facebook page, the
band will perform their first show without
Sanders tonight in Destin, Florida.
“We will be with the Sanders family with
heart and soul. But Jacob would be itching to
get to the show and to concentrate on music
and the crowd for a little while,” the post
reads. “This show and every show we will ever
play will have Jacob be a part of it.”

Jasper leaders
considering
property purchase
By NICOLE SMITH
Jasper City is exploring the
possibility to purchase a piece of
property within the city.
At a special called meeting by
the Jasper City Council Wednesday afternoon, the council approved a motion to authorize
Mayor Sonny Posey to make an
offer to purchase property within
city limits.
The council went into executive session to discuss the possibility of purchasing the property;
however, when official action was
taken to proceed with making an
offer to purchase, the location of
the property in question was
undisclosed.
In a work session following the
meeting, the council discussed
the need to fix drainage issues on
28th Street and in the areas of
Forest Park and Fairoaks.

yet to be executed. We don’t know
why,” Gilbert said.
According to a letter addressed
to Gilbert and the council from
CEIDA chairman Mike Gilbert,
the board agreed to terms on the
lease through the attorney for Cordova Grocery LLC after the store
opened in November 2014.
“We have been repeatedly told
that the lease was satisfactory and
was just waiting to be signed.
However, we still haven’t received
the signed lease,” Gilbert stated in
the letter.
The board also drafted a letter to
Cordova Grocery on Jan. 11, insisting that the matter be resolved
DORA — At Tuesday’s
council meeting, the Dora
City Council questioned
the police department’s
need to use grant funds to
purchase
seven
duty
weapons and why officers
need to carry the same department issued weapon.
The Dora Police Department received a grant for
$9,999 that was planned to
be put toward purchasing
two Tasers, six E-Seek
card readers and six GPS
devices used for E-citation,
a safety restraint chair, a
digital DLSR camera and
seven department issued
firearms.
The council had approved for Police Chief
Jared Hall to apply for the
grant and purchase the
equipment he needed at a
council meeting in December.
However, by the time
Hall received the grant,
the price of the Tasers he
was getting had risen.
This, combined with the
unexpectedly high shipping prices, left the department short $496 needed to
purchase the digital camera.
Hall asked the council to
approve the rest of the
money needed to pay for
the $850 camera. There
was enough money left on
the grant to cover $354 of
the price.
Council member George
Sides
Jr.
questioned
whether the council approved the items Hall was
purchasing and cited the
duty weapons as his concern. He said that officers
were allowed to choose
their own duty weapons
because, in years past,
they requested to carry a
weapon other than the de-

City lacks signed lease
on new Piggly Wiggly
By JENNIFER COHRON
Cordova City Council members
learned Tuesday night that the
city does not have a signed lease
for the Piggly Wiggly property
more than a year after the grocery
store’s grand opening.
Mayor Drew Gilbert relayed the
message to the council on behalf of
the Cordova Economic and Industrial Development Authority, the
landlord for the store.
“I don’t think we’re to a point
where we are going to have to look
at eviction, but it has come to a
point where we needed it in the
public’s eye,” said Gilbert, who
added that the CEIDA has been
receiving rent from tenant Cordova Grocery LLC.
Mark and Phillip Bozeman are
listed as the organizers of Cordova
Grocery LLC on the Secretary of
State’s website.
Gilbert said the lease that has
been drawn up is for 10 years, and
the fee schedule is fixed for the
first five years and based on a percentage of gross receipts for the
final five years.
“That was agreed upon probably
a year and a half ago in principle,
but for some reason the lease has

Tampon tax: Does being female
in the US carry unfair costs?
NEW YORK (AP) —
Margo Seibert and Natalie
Brasington don’t think
women should have to pay
a “period tax,” and like a
growing number of other
women, they are publicly
questioning whether being
female in the U.S. carries
unfair costs.
The pair are among five
New York City women who
filed a lawsuit last week
arguing that it was unconstitutional for the state to
levy sales tax on tampons
and sanitary napkins
while offering medical
product exemptions to
many other items used by
both genders, like lip balm,
foot powder and dandruff
shampoo.
The case, they say, is
about more than the few
cents in tax levied on each
pack.
Sick of the social taboo,
and frustrated by a lack of
access for some to a staple,
these women and others
are talking very publicly
about menstruation and
gaining political traction
that would have been impossible a generation ago.
A national push to abolish sales tax on tampons is
gathering steam, led by social media campaigns like
#periodswithoutshame.
At least seven states are
now considering legislation. Illinois lawmakers
were holding a hearing on
the
latest
proposal
Wednesday.
Connecticut legislators
discussed the issue Monday.
Cosmopolitan magazine
launched an online petition, and even President
Barack Obama has questioned why the items are
taxed.
“I tend to talk about my
period quite a bit, to anyone who will listen,” said
Seibert, a 31-year-old actress and founder of an online
campaign
that
promotes a “shame-free”
period.

Mourners pay respects for
former first lady Nancy Reagan
SIMI VALLEY, Calif.
(AP) — Three days of formal mourning for former
first lady Nancy Reagan
began Wednesday as her
casket was taken in a police-escorted motorcade up
an empty freeway for a
public viewing at the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
The procession from
Santa Monica passed beneath a large American
flag on a stretch of normally congested highway
and then turned onto the
Ronald Reagan Freeway
where firefighters in dress
blues saluted from atop
fire trucks parked on overpasses and other observers
held their hands over their
hearts.
As the procession turned
up the long, steep driveway to the library in the
hills of Simi Valley, more
than 100 docents held
small flags.
Members of the armed
services carried the casket
past a gurgling courtyard
fountain into the library,
where daughter Patti
Davis, dressed in black,
was among about 20 family members and close
friends who attended a
short prayer service at the
closed casket.
“May angels surround
her and saints release her
to Jesus,” the Rev. Stuart
Kenworthy, vicar at the
Washington
National
Cathedral, said during the
10-minute service.
The Rev. Donn Moomaw,
the Reagan family’s pastor,
read from the 23rd Psalm,
which begins, “The Lord is
my shepherd; I shall not
want.”
Attendees included the
children of Ronald Reagan’s son Michael and
Dennis Revell, the widower of the president’s late
daughter
Maureen.
Michael Reagan and the
president’s other son, Ron
Prescott Reagan, are expected at Friday’s funeral.
After the private service,
House Speaker Paul Ryan
paid his respects, bowing
his head in prayer aside

The casket was covered

flower.

Several hundred onlookers stretched along the

from the Tudor-style funeral home, holding up
cellphones and cameras to
capture photos.
“She was just a very
classy woman, always,”
said Jeanie Maurello, a
medical assistant at Prov-
idence St. John’s Health
Center. “I thought she did
a wonderful job. ‘Just Say

Another medical assistant, Lupe Salazar, said
she was also an admirer.
“She did a lot of work that

Salazar said.
Maurello added: “There’s
always a great woman behind every great man.”
Friday will be the funeral, which was planned
down to the smallest details by the former first
lady herself.
Just as she was always

The hourlong service, to
which
approximately
1,000 people have been invited, was to take place on

Mr. T was involved in
Mrs. Reagan’s “Just Say

Capt. Christopher Bolt,
commanding officer of the
USS Ronald Reagan, will
also be in attendance.
“One of our saddest situations is we have so many
people who have called or
written, saying they would
like to attend, but unfortunately it needs to be by invitation only because we
only have so much room on
the lawn,” Heubusch said.
“As a result, Mrs. Reagan
was very adamant about
having some time where
the public could come by
and pay last respects.”
SPOKANE,
Wash.
(AP) — A fugitive
wanted by Idaho authorities for wounding a
church pastor apparently wrote a manifesto
contending that Martians controlled the
Earth, police said.
Kyle Odom, 30, was arrested Tuesday afternoon by U.S. Secret
Service agents after allegedly throwing items
over the fence at the
White House in Washington, D.C.
“I think everyone can
breathe a good sigh of relief that at least this part
of the case has come to a
conclusion,” said Lee
White, police chief for
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho,
where the shooting occurred.
White said he was told
Odom threw computer
flash drives and other
items over the White
House fence on Tuesday.
Odom appeared in District of Columbia Superior
Court
on
Wednesday,
wearing
handcuffs and a chain
connecting his ankles.
He said only his name
when asked. Public de-
fender Ieshaah Murphy
said Odom declined to
waive an extradition
hearing and be sent back
to Idaho in the next few
days. He will be held in
jail pending a hearing
scheduled for April 6 in
Washington, where the
only issue is whether the
Idaho warrant for attempted
first-degree
murder in his case is
valid.
Meanwhile,
Pastor
Tim Remington, shot six
times Sunday outside his
church in Coeur d’Alene,
about 30 miles east of
Spokane, had regained
consciousness and is
talking with his family.
Coeur d’Alene Police
Detective Jared Reneau
said Odom had attended
Remington’s church a
few times and apparently was the author of a
manifesto that contended the pastor was a
member of a Martian
species that had taken
over the Earth.
Details were contained
in electronic documents
that Odom apparently
mailed to his family and
news media outlets this
week.

Bangladesh loses $100 million from New York Fed account
NEW DELHI (AP) —
The Bangladesh central
bank says it is working to
recover some $100 million
it lost from an account at
the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York.
Authorities have given
few details about how the
money disappeared. But
Finance Minister A.M.A.
Muhith says authorities
are considering suing the
U.S. bank over the money’s
apparent transfer to accounts in the Philippines.
Muhith said the U.S.
bank has “no way to avoid
their responsibility.”
In a statement Wednesday, the New York Fed said
it had not detected any
hacking attempts, and
there is “no evidence that
any Fed systems were
compromised.”
“The payment instructions in question were
fully authenticated ... in
accordance with standard
authentication protocols,”
the statement said.
The New York Fed said
it has been working with
the central bank of
Bangladesh since the incident occurred “and will
continue to provide assistance as appropriate.”
The Bangladesh Bank
said it managed to recover
some of the funds, but gave
no details. It has also
tracked down those still
missing and is working
with the anti-money laundering agency in the
Philippines, which has
been ordered by a court in
the country to freeze the
accounts while the issue is
being
investigated.
Bangladesh also is working with World Bank cyber
and forensic experts, the
bank said in a statement.
The country’s leading
Bengali-language Prothom
Alo newspaper reported
Wednesday that at least
30 transfer requests were
made Feb. 5 using the
Bangladesh
Bank’s
SWIFT code, out of which
five succeeded in effecting
responsibility for this incident,” he said. “But we
have to see whether we
have lodged our complaint
properly.”
Since hacking has been
a threat for years, he said
clients should not suffer if
depositing with large
banks. “A client’s right
must be protected.”

OPINION
EDITORIALS
Recent editorials from Alabama newspapers:
The Gadsden Times on tornado season in Alabama:
Alabama hasn’t reached triple digits in tornadoes
since the hellish year of 2011. (April 27 of that year
gained permanent bold print status in the state’s history books; are we really approaching the fifth anniversary?)
The trend so far in 2016, however, is ominous. Preliminary National Weather Service statistics show 20
tornadoes in Alabama in January and February
(there were only 32 in 2015), and that’s not counting
the EF2 twister that caused damage and injuries
Tuesday night in western Jefferson County.
That certainly isn’t welcome news, especially heading into March and April, which statistically have
been Alabama’s busiest tornado months (although the
season really never ends here).
It spotlights this week’s gathering of scientists from
various academic, governmental and research groups
in the Southeast to launch VORTEX-SE (Verification
of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment,
Southeast.)
The project is based at the University of Alabama
in Huntsville and has a $5 million budget.
It’s an effort similar to those made in the Great
Plains’ “Tornado Alley,” which were the grist for the
1996 film “Twister.”
The goal is to gain better understanding of tornadoes and improve warning systems for them. Our
question is “what took so long?”
According to the Storm Prediction Center, an average of 40 Southeastern residents were killed by tornadoes each year between 1985 and 2014, four times
the rate of the “Tornado Alley” states (Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas). Alabama averaged the most deaths,
14.
Researchers say tornadoes are harder to chase and
behave differently in the woodsy, hilly South compared to the Plains flatlands. Emergency management personnel say the terrain also makes twisters
difficult to spot and issue timely warnings for.
That’s why the VORTEX-SE researchers aren’t
going to be chasing wall clouds and storm systems
like Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt in the movie. They’re
going to set up at various sites in the region and wait
for storms. History says they won’t get bored.
We think the money allocated for the project is well
spent. Any new insight gained about these monstrous
forces of nature will be positive and potentially lifesaving.
However, what should Alabamians do now to protect themselves, given the present knowledge base?
You’ve heard this advice from meteorologists and
emergency management personnel before, but there’s
no such thing as reminding people too many times
about something so important.
Pay attention to forecasts and don’t get snarky and
dismissive if things on a given day don’t turn out as
predicted. Meteorology is an imperfect science, but
we’ll remind you that forecasters predicted what happened April 27, 2011, well in advance and no one
should’ve been caught by surprise.
Get a weather radio and download weather and
alert notification apps to your smartphones or tablets,
so you’ll get the most immediate warnings of bad
weather. Don’t depend on the old-fashioned siren system that rarely gives people enough time to take
cover.
Have a severe weather plan for your homes and
families, or be cognizant of where the nearest shelters
are if you live in a mobile home or don’t have a basement.
Those steps aren’t obsessive or panicky. They’re
simply the embodiment of “being prepared” — which
is a good thing.

The Montgomery Advertiser on a replacement for Alabama State Schools Superintendent:
Following the March 31 retirement of Alabama
State Schools Superintendent Tommy Bice, announced Tuesday, the search for a replacement will
begin.
The importance of finding a highly qualified man or
woman for the position can’t be over-emphasized.
No one, of course, thinks Alabama’s schools are anywhere close to laudable or even acceptable, particularly in impoverished urban and rural areas.
Dismal test scores recently released by the National
Assessment of Educational Progress showed the state
ranking at the bottom among 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Those numbers reflect the state’s long and shameful
history of low and inconsistent proficiency standards.
Bice sought to end or ameliorate that by implementing the more rigorous Alabama College and Career
Ready Standards and Plan 2020 on his watch.
That work must continue under the next superintendent. He or she must also have these qualifications:
A long and proven history as a high-level education
professional capable of handling the enormous duties
of the job, with sterling credentials as a pro-public
school champion. No proponents of more privateschool vouchers and tax credits draining money from
public schools, please.
Political acumen to interact with Alabama’s GOPdominated leadership in ways that stymie more
money grabs from school funding pots and thwart illconsidered laws that damage education or demonize
teachers.
A forceful track record of implementing reforms and
innovations to help students of all backgrounds, races,
ethnic groups and economic circumstances succeed
academically.
Expertise in digital and technical advances rapidly
changing present-day curriculum and learning strategies.
Alabama’s children deserve nothing less than an exceptional, seasoned hand at the helm of the state’s
struggling schools.

Life hacks? Worth a try if they make life easier
Funny,
how
words change.
When I was
growing
up,
“hack” was the
first part of a
hacksaw, what
you did with an
ax to a tree or
Be Our
else a derogatory
term for someone
Guest
who didn’t do
By Dale
his/her
work
Short
well.
How
“hack”
came to mean a technological whiz
who does unfriendly or illegal
things to your computer is disputed,
but nowadays it’s become the principle meaning of the term.
I didn’t know until recently that
hack had a new usage: “Life hacks,”
meaning shortcuts or fun ways to do
things that make your daily life easier or more interesting.
A book by that name has one
thousand life-hack ideas, and apparently a second volume is in the
works. The thousand examples help
with tasks verging from the mundane (”Having trouble opening a
nail polish bottle? Wrap rubber
bands around the top to make opening much easier”), to the culinary
(”Open your bag of chips from the
bottom, where all of the flavor sinks
to”).
I’ve actually put several of these
helpful hints to use — Heloise for a
new generation? “Olive oil will remove sticker glue from most surfaces. Soak a rag in oil, let it set on
the surface for five to ten minutes
and wipe it off.” Or, “Can’t get that
disgusting fish smell off your
hands? Wash them with toothpaste.
Boom. Gone.” And “Got something
in your eye? Look down and blink
repeatedly. Works like a charm.”
Heloise would be glad to know
that vinegar and baking soda loom
large in many of the household tips.
They were two thirds of her cleaning trilogy. The only one that doesn’t
make the list? Nylon net. But two
out of three ain’t bad.
Because she predated the computer age, she would have missed
this handy one: “Is your printer low
on black ink? Highlight everything,
set the text to dark blue and print
again. It will look virtually identical.”
One advantage to reading the
whole list is that when you’re done,
your brain is in life hack mode and
you start looking for your own gems
for making life easier. So I’ve come
up with a few.
One involves mayonnaise, one of
my favorite recipe additives — next
to cheese, sour cream and butter.
I’ve always wanted to add as
much mayo as humanly possible to
a sandwich, but when you mash two
pieces of bread together the mayonnaise squirts out and gets your
hands (or if you’re a hearty eater,
your shirt) all messy.
The solution? Put a large amount
of mayo in the center of the bread
(square is ideal, but circular globs
work OK as well) and when you
squeeze the sandwich together the
blessed substance pushes exactly
out to the edge of the sandwich with
no excess escaping. Doing this perfectly takes a little practice, but for
a mayonnaise reward it’s worth the
trouble.
My other homemade hack: do you
ever come home after a busy day
and are torn between watching TV
and enjoying some plain old peace
and quiet?
Your TV’s menu has a setting that
says something like “Closed Captions On”. Select this, set the TV on
Mute, and all the dialogue appears
at the bottom of the screen in big
readable letters.
This takes a little bit of getting
used to, but the end product is
worth it: watching your favorite
shows — even the hectic news programs — in blessed silence. Something about the beautiful quiet
lends itself to relaxation, and a hot
cup of mint tea makes the experience even better.
An added benefit? I enjoy watching British murder mysteries, but
when British actors begin talking
real fast I can’t decipher what
they’re saying. Closed captioning to
the rescue.
You might even add a bologna
sandwich to the experience, being
careful to use the mayonnaise hack
above.
Better living through life hacks?
So far, so good.
And I think Heloise would have
agreed.

End favoritism for the abortion industry
Without the
late Justice Antonin Scalia, the
U.S. Supreme
Court heard a full
hour of oral argument last week
on the biggest
abortion case in a
quarter century.
Be Our
This case, Whole
Guest
Woman’s Health
v. Hellerstedt,
By Phyllis
arises from a
Schlafly
Texas law requiring that abortionists have hospital
medical staff privileges within 30 miles
of the abortion, and also that abortion
clinics comply with the same standards
as ambulatory surgery centers.
Abortion supporters claim that this
good law has forced about half of
Texas’ 40 abortion clinics to close, and
that even more may close if the U.S.
Supreme Court does not rule in their
favor. The gruesome reality is that
many abortions are performed by
physicians who lack nearby hospital
admitting privileges, and many abortions are performed in degrading clinics whose facilities are below the
minimal standards of a modern surgery center.
For years, the abortion industry has
avoided paying the full costs of its
business, instead sending its victims to
emergency rooms where the on-call
physician has no direct knowledge of
what went wrong during the abortion.
Abortions cause thousands of serious
complications every year in the United
States, many requiring hospitalization,
and abortion clinics shift these costs
onto others.
“Safe and legal” was the catchphrase
used by the feminists to pretend that
legalizing abortion was necessary for
the health and safety of women. But
the case before the Supreme Court
proves that the abortion industry is
more interested in its bottom line than
the safety of women.
When an ordinary physician performs any other type of surgical procedure, he remains available to the
patient for follow-up care in case of
complications. If the patient needs hospitalization, the physician is usually on
the medical staff at a nearby hospital
so he can treat the patient there. This
adds costs for the physician, of course.
But no one should be doing “hit and
run” operations where the physician
causes complications and then is com-
pletely unavailable to help address
those complications at a nearby hospital.
Yet this “hit and run” model is standard operating procedure for the abortion industry, which routinely dumps
women with complications onto other
caregivers who struggle to determine
what went wrong, and who then must
bear the costs of follow-up care that
should have been paid for by the abortion clinics. No other lawful industry is
allowed to shift the real costs associated with its business onto the public
in this way.
In Missouri, a similar law requiring
abortion doctors to have nearby hospital admitting privileges has worked
well for more than a decade. Multiple
courts have upheld the Missouri and
similar statutes as reasonable to protect women seeking an abortion.
The abortion industry is not impoverished. Planned Parenthood and its
affiliated organizations, which together
constitute the nation’s largest abortion
provider, reported an accounting profit
of $58.8 million in its most recent year,
and $127.1 million in the year before.
Many of the nation’s best-known billionaires support abortion-on-demand,
either directly or by donating to politicians who funnel more taxpayer money
into the coffers of the abortion industry. No industry can claim a constitutional right to be more profitable.
Some abortion clinics would incur
additional costs in order to attain the
quality of ambulatory surgery centers,
and some abortionists may need to improve their medical skills in order to be
allowed on the medical staff of a
nearby hospital. But there is no constitutional right for the abortion industry
to cut corners by insisting on operating
on women in a less safe environment
than what is customarily used for most
other procedures.
More than the Texas and Missouri
laws are at stake. Louisiana passed a
similar law requiring hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles before
an abortion can be performed, and the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit unanimously upheld it last week
in June Medical Services v. Gee.
Abortion clinics have filed an “emergency” application to the U.S. Supreme
Court to try to overturn that ruling. It
is ironic that supporters of abortion demand emergency relief from federal
courts to allow abortionists to be unavailable for the true medical emergencies they cause.

Europe shuts its borders, stranding thousands Seoul: NKorea fires
IDOMENI, Greece (AP) — After
welcoming hundreds of thousands of
people into its heartland, Europe
seems to be finally closing its doors.
The thousands of people massing
at Greece’s northern border are incredulous they won’t be allowed onward to its prosperous countries, but
after a year of dithering European
leaders seem resolved now to keep
all but a select few from going any
further.
“This is horrible, unbelievable, unbearable. There is war in my country, and they are closing the border,”
said Mahmoud Hassan, a 23-yearold Syrian. “Where are we supposed
to go? Please if you can do anything
— help us. The situation is very, very
terrible.”
A relentless rain Wednesday after
an overnight thunderstorm added to
the misery in the overflowing camp
at Idomeni, which now consists of
thousands of small camping tents
set up in nearby fields and along
railway tracks.
The camp turned into a sodden,
muddy mess, with refugees huddling
in tents and under ponchos handed
out by volunteers to ward off the
worst of the wet and cold. Parents
covered their children with whatever they could, sometimes resorting
to plastic bags. In the brief intervals
in the rain, long lines formed in the
mud for sandwiches, tea and soup.
A lucky few managed to set up
their tents on the train station platform, whose awning provides some
shelter, while others slept in disused
train carriages.
EU and Turkish leaders agreed at
a summit Monday to the broad out-

lines of a deal that would essentially
outsource Europe’s refugee emergency. They said people arriving in
Greece having fled war or poverty
would be sent back to Turkey unless
they apply for asylum. For every migrant sent back, the EU would take
in one Syrian refugee, thus trying to
prevent the need for people to set
out on dangerous sea journeys, often
arranged by unscrupulous smugglers.
But Greece has a notoriously slow
asylum process, and a crippling sixyear financial crisis that has left unemployment at about 25 percent.
Few of those stuck in Idomeni could
envisage a future in Greece as a viable option.
“Greece is a poor country, for us
and for (its) people,” said 17-year-old
Ahmed
Merza
from
Syria’s
Qamishli, who had been in the camp
for eight days. “I don’t know anything. It’s bad news for us, like a
bomb.”
Shortly after the summit, countries along the Balkan route decided
to allow through only people with
valid EU visas and nobody has
crossed through the gate in the
razor wire-reinforced fence in
Idomeni since 6 a.m. Monday.
For the nearly 14,000 people in
and around the camp, the news
about the border closures was a
crushing blow, with many just unable to fathom how Europe could
turn away people fleeing war. A few
dozen sat on the railway tracks in
protest — a frequent occurrence in
the camp, where refugees occasionally try to block the passage of
freight trains to press their point.
“We’re not here to stay. We are
here to pass only,” said Sami Yanes,
a 24-year-old information technology
student from the Syrian capital of
Damascus hoping to continue his
studies in Germany.
“We are going to keep protesting
and keep doing what we are doing
until they know we are human beings and we deserve simple human
rights,” he said as he sat on the
tracks in the pouring rain after
seven nights spent in the camp.
“This is my path,” he said, indicating the railroad leading into Macedonia. “I’m going to stay here until
my path is open.”
Iran fires 2 missiles marked with ‘Israel must be wiped out’
DUBAI, United Arab
Emirates (AP) — Iran testlaunched two ballistic missiles
Wednesday
emblazoned with the
phrase “Israel must be
wiped out” in Hebrew,
Iranian media reported, in
a show of power by the
Shiite nation as U.S. Vice
President Joe Biden visited Jerusalem.
The new missile firings
were the latest in a series
of tests in recent days,
aimed at demonstrating
that Iran will push ahead
with its ballistic program
after scaling backing its
nuclear program under the
deal reached last year with
the U.S. and other world
powers.
Israel, long an opponent
of Iran, offered no comment on the test, though
Biden issued a strong
warning over any possible
violation of the nuclear
deal.
“A nuclear-armed Iran is
an absolutely unacceptable threat to Israel, to the
region and the United
States. And I want to reiterate which I know people
still doubt here. If in fact
they break the deal, we
will act,” he said.
Biden’s comments came
after
meeting
Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, who strongly
opposed the nuclear deal.
The tests, however, don’t
violate the accord. The
landmark deal, which led
to Iran dramatically scaling back its nuclear program, does not include
provisions against missile
launches.
Also, when the nuclear
accord came into effect on
Jan. 16, the Security Council lifted most U.N. sanctions
against Tehran
including a ban it had imposed in 2010 on Iran testing missiles capable of
carrying nuclear warheads

Agency, a Qadr H long-range ballistic surface-tosurface missile is fired by Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, during a maneuver, in an

— a ban that likely would
have covered some of the
missile fired this week. To
deal with the restrictions
in the nuclear agreement,
the councill adopted a resolution last July which
among other measures
“calls on” Iran not to carry
out such tests.
At the United Nations,
there is likely to be a debate about whether Iran is
still required to abide by
the ballistic missile test
ban under council resolutions.
Iran says none of its
missiles are designed to
carry nuclear weapons and
so the resolutions do not
apply.
One Security Council
diplomat said the tests
don’t violate the nuclear
deal, but “there are obligations on Iran” that stem
from the resolution and
“they need to abide by
those obligations.” he said.
Another diplomat ac-
knowledged, “We’re not
mounting an argument
that it’s a binding obligation.”
The two diplomats,
speaking on condition of
anonymity because they
were not authorized to
speak on the tests, said the
council still has to consider
the reported launches and
if
verified
determine
whether it is a violation
and if so what action to
take.
Iran state TV trumpeted
Wednesday’s test as officials boasted that it
demonstrated the country’s might against longtime nemesis Israel.

Somali forces kill 10 extremists in Somalia
MOGADISHU, Somalia
(AP) — Hoping to capture
a high-profile target, Somali forces hopped off helicopters a couple of miles
from an al-Shabab-controlled
town,
slipped
through the dark and got
into a fierce firefight that
reportedly killed more
than 10 Islamic extremists, US and Somali officials said.
U.S. forces were serving
in an advisory role and
provided the helicopter
transportation for the mission, said Navy Capt. Jeff
Davis,
a
Pentagon
spokesman.
The U.S. forces accompanied the Somali troops on
the mission, but did not “go
all the way to the objective,” he said.
A Somali intelligence official told The Associated
Press that the person they
wanted to get was apparently killed during the
fight.
“It was a high-profile
target, and chances of capture were challenged by a
stiff resistance by militants guarding the house
targeted by the special
forces, which forced the
commando to resort to the
kill or capture method,”
the official said.
He spoke to AP on condi-
tion of anonymity because
he was not authorized to
speak to the press on the
matter.
Another Somali intelligence official provided a
similar account to AP.
The exact target of the
raid, if any, remains unclear.
coast into the Sea of
Oman, state media and
Iran’s semiofficial Fars
news agency reported.
The U.S. Navy’s 5th
Fleet, which patrols that
region, declined to comment on the test.
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the
head of the Revolutionary
Guard’s aerospace division, was quoted as saying
the test was aimed at
showing Israel that Iran
could hit it. Israel is within
1,100 kilometers (660
miles) of Iranian territory.
“The
2,000-kilometer
(1,240-mile) range of our
missiles is to confront the
Zionist regime,” Hajizadeh
said. “Israel is surrounded
by Islamic countries and it
will not last long in a war.
It will collapse even before
being hit by these missiles.”
He stressed that Iran
would not fire the missiles
in anger or start a war
with Israel.
“We will not be the ones
who start a war, but we
will not be taken by surprise, so we put our facilities somewhere that our
enemies cannot destroy
them so that we could continue in a long war,” he
said.
The Fars news agency
reported the Hebrew inscription on the missiles.
Writing messages on
bombs dates as far back as
World War II. During Israel’s 2006 war with
Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants, Israeli children were
photographed
writing
messages on artillery
shells in a community
near the border. More recently, pictures emerged
online of U.S. missiles
bound for Islamic State
group targets that had
“From Paris with love”
written on them, referring
to last year’s IS attacks in
the French capital.

short-range missiles
amid war games
SEOUL, South Korea
(AP) — North Korea
fired two short-range
ballistic missiles into the
sea on Thursday, South
Korea’s military said, a
likely show of anger at
continuing springtime
war games by rivals
Washington and Seoul
and another ratcheting
up of hostility on the already anxious Korean
Peninsula.
The South Korean Defense Ministry says the
missiles were fired from
North
Hwanghae
Province, flew about 500
kilometers (310 miles)
and fell into the water off
the country’s east coast.
Such missile firings by
the North are not uncommon when animosity
rises here. North Korea
hates the massive annual military drills
staged by Seoul and
Washington,
calling
them invasion preparations. The allies call the
drills, which this year
are described as the
biggest ever, defensive
and routine. Pyongyang
is also angry over tough
United Nations sanctions following its recent
nuclear test and long
range rocket launch.
The firings come a day
after
North
Korea
caused a new stir by
publicizing a purported
mock-up of a key part of
a nuclear warhead, with
leader Kim Jong Un repeating a claim that his
country has developed
miniaturized
atomic
bombs that can be placed
on missiles.
The North’s Rodong
Sinmun newspaper carried photos on its front
page showing Kim and
nuclear scientists standing beside what outside
analysts say appears to
SAT. 8:AM - 4:PM
be a model warhead part
— a small, silverish
globe with a ballistic
missile or a model ballistic missile in the background.
The newspaper said
Kim met his nuclear scientists for a briefing on
the status of their work
and declared he was
greatly pleased that warheads had been standardized
and
miniaturized for use on
ballistic missiles.
Information from secretive, authoritarian
North Korea is often impossible to confirm, and
the country’s state media
have a history of photo
manipulations. But it
was the first time the
North has publicly displayed its purported nuclear designs, though it
remains
unclear
whether the country has
functioning warheads of
that size or is simply trying to develop one.
South Korea’s Defense
Ministry quickly disputed the North’s claim
that it possesses miniaturized warheads. It
called the photos and
miniaturization claim an
“intolerable direct challenge” to the international community.
U.S. State Department
spokesman John Kirby
declined to comment on
North Korea’s nuclear
capabilities, saying it
was an intelligence matter, but he told reporters
the U.S. takes Pyongyang’s rhetoric seriously.
He said the North Korean leader, who is
thought to be in his early
30s, needs to pay more
attention to the needs of
his people rather than
pursue “reckless capabilities.”

Reid pounds GOP united against Obama Supreme Court choice
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid
is going out punching.
Never one to back down from
a political fight, the five-term
Nevada Democrat has been relentlessly pounding Republicans
over their insistence that President Barack Obama’s successor
fill the vacancy on the Supreme
Court.
Each day of the Senate session, the 76-year-old Reid, who is
retiring at the end of his term,
stands on the floor and rails
against the GOP, casting them
as obstructionists and lackeys of
presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
“Republicans have not always
been this irrational and vicious,”
Reid said Wednesday, calling the
GOP the “party of Trump, the
caucus of Trump, the conference
of Trump.”
Republicans, led by Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
remain united. They counter
that the American people should
decide in November who will
choose the next justice, especially with primary votes already cast in nearly half the

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., speaks during
an interview with The Associated Press in his leadership office at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, March 8, 2016.
states. An Obama pick would tilt
the ideological balance of what
has been a mostly conservative
court for decades, and the GOP
base wants none of it.
So no confirmation hearing, no
vote, no meeting with Obama’s
pick to replace the late Justice
Antonin Scalia.
“I think it’s very important
that we continue to harp on the
fact that all we’re asking people
to do is their job,” Reid told The
Associated Press in an interview
in his Senate office on Tuesday.
The Democrat said he has
talked to White House Chief of
Staff Denis McDonough about a
possible nominee, but declined to
disclose his recommendation.
Reid, a former middleweight
boxer and U.S. Capitol police officer, is famous — or infamous if
you talk to Republicans — for
bare-knuckles politics. The election-year fight over the Supreme
Court nominee underscores that
the stakes extend beyond the
court to the presidency and majority control of the Senate.
At play is Reid’s own Nevada
seat where Democrat Catherine
Cortez Masto, the state’s former
attorney general and Reid’s
choice, likely will face Republican Rep. Joe Heck in a costly
and competitive race.
The partisan lines in the Senate have never been sharper.
“It’s absolutely clear to me
that Senate Republicans stand
firmly behind the idea that the
people should have a say in this
critical issue,” said Sen. John
Cornyn, R-Texas.
Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii,
said it’s not as if Republicans
“don’t have time. It’s not as if
there aren’t enough calendar
days or session days to do the
job. It’s that from the beginning,
After Trump endorsement,
NASCAR leader faces the fallout
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)
— When Brian France endorsed Donald Trump for
president, the chairman
and chief executive of
NASCAR thought of it as
nothing more than a “routine endorsement.”
He’s been dealing with
the fallout ever since.
France’s decision to personally back the front-runner for the Republican
nomination has roiled a
sport his family built from
the ground up.
It’s threatened a decade
of work to broaden
NASCAR’s appeal among
minorities, upset one of the
most powerful teams in
the sport and risked a
break with the corporate
sponsors that are its financial lifeblood.
“I was frankly, very surprised, that my diversity
efforts for my whole career
would have been called
into question, over this, in
my view, a routine endorsement,” France said
Wednesday in an interview with The Associated
Press.
France acknowledged
he’s had to have conversations with sponsors since
making the endorsement,
which came as NASCAR is
seeking a new main sponsor for its top series.
“I made a few phone
calls and clarified some
things,” he said. “That kind
of goes with the territory.”
France’s appearance at a
Trump rally a few days before last week’s Super
Tuesday elections fits with
the sport’s history of occasionally blending politics
with the action at the
track.
France’s grandfather,
NASCAR founder Bill
France
Sr.,
endorsed
George Wallace for president. Its all-time winningest driver, Richard
Petty, celebrated his 200th
victory with President
Ronald Reagan and ran for
statewide office in North
Carolina in the 1990s.
France told the AP on
Wednesday he backed
Barack Obama in 2008
and actively participated
in the campaign, shifting
his support to Mitt Romney four years later.
“I supported Obama. I
went to his rallies. I parted
with my hard-earned
money. There was a movement going on, and I was
really thrilled with the
idea of the first AfricanAmerican president,” he
said. “I did the same for
Mitt Romney. In both of
those cases, I have never
agreed with all of their
policies.”
But Trump is a candidate unlike any other in
recent memory, drawing
intense criticism for the
racial undertones of his
rhetoric and policies. The
billionaire has called immigrants from Mexico
rapists and drug dealers,
has vowed to forcibly deport the 11 million people
living in the country illegally and seeks to temporarily bar Muslims from
entering the U.S.
Trump has also earned
the explicit or implicit
backing of a slew of white
nationalist leaders, includ-

corporate sponsors that are its financial lifeblood.
ing former Ku Klux Klan
leader David Duke. Mexican President Enrique
Pena Nieto has compared
his language to that of
Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini.
It’s into that cauldron
that France inserted himself and his sport — admittedly without knowing all
of what Trump has proposed. “I don’t even know
all their policies, truthfully,” France said.
He said he likes Trump’s
“business approach” and
his status as a Washington
outsider. He also cited the
electricity around the
Trump campaign and a
friendship with one of
Trump’s sons, Donald
Trump Jr., that dates back
nearly two decades.
“I’m not supporting him
for all of his views, or his
immigration
views,”
France said. “I happen to
be very enamored by the
excitement he’s brought
and the voter turnout that
it is creating.”
That excitement is what
got Chase Elliott into a
jam just two weeks into
his new job at Hendrick
Motorsports, where he’s
taking the place of retired
superstar Jeff Gordon. The
son of NASCAR Hall of
Famer Bill Elliott, the
rookie has been cast as the
sport’s next superstar.
To the surprise of everyone at Hendrick Motorsports, France was joined
by Elliott at the Trump
rally in Georgia where he
offered his endorsement.
At 20, Elliott has yet to
vote in his first presidential election. Trump called
Elliott to the microphone,
and the young driver
stumbled through a few
remarks before sheepishly
joining his father and the
rest of the NASCAR contingent off to the side.
A person familiar with
the situation told the AP
that Elliott, intrigued by
the
election
process,
agreed to an invitation
from NASCAR to fly on a
NASCAR plane to the
Trump event in Elliott’s
home state of Georgia.
It never occurred to the
rising star to give his team
or sponsors a heads-up,
the person said, and Elliott
realized he was in over his
head when he began receiving heavy criticism on
social media.
The person spoke on
condition of anonymity, because the person was not
authorized to discuss the
details of Elliott’s involvement.
While France does not
regret his own participation in the Trump rally, he
does feel badly for Elliott.
“You never want to see
anybody get their true positions distorted in the
way that has happened,”
France said.
France is also trying to
protect his record on diversity. He said NASCAR has
spent “tens of millions of
dollars” on a program
aimed at boosting the participation of minorities in
the sport.
That program includes
Japanese-American driver
Kyle Larson, who competes in the top-level
Sprint Cup, and Darrell
Wallace Jr., a driver in the
second-tier Xfinity Series
who is black and who came
up through NASCAR’s diversity program.
NASCAR has also invested heavily in developing Mexican driver Daniel
Suarez, who has risen to
the Xfinity Series and currently leads its standings.
Some of Suarez’s current
corporate backing comes
from Mexican billionaire
Carlos Slim Domit, whose
family’s TV production
company cut ties with
Trump last year after the
real estate mogul announced his signature
plan to build a wall along
the U.S. southern border.
Asked about France’s
endorsement last week,
Suarez told reporters: “I
think Brian can do everything he wants on his own,
but NASCAR is different.
I’m in NASCAR, I’m not in
Brian France, whatever.”
Marcus Lemonis, the
CEO of Camping World,
the longtime title sponsor
of NASCAR’s third-tier
Truck Series, wrote an
open letter to NASCAR
last year saying his company would boycott the
season-ending banquets if
they returned to a Trumpowned property.
After France’s endorsement of Trump, the
Lebanese-born Lemonis
wrote on Twitter: “There is
no place for politics/any
political endorsements in
any business. Your customers and employees
should have their own
mind. #period.”
France’s efforts to quell
criticism over what he insists was a “personal and
private” decision have also
been
complicated
by
Trump’s continued mentioning of how he’s received
“NASCAR’s
endorsement.”
they just decided that this was
the hill that they wanted to die
on.”
Republicans and Democrats
agree that the rhetorical offensive is Reid just being Reid.
After all, this was the Democrat
who called President George W.
Bush a “loser” and poked the
hornet’s nest of the 2012 presidential campaign by suggesting
— without documentation —
that Mitt Romney hadn’t paid
taxes in 10 years.
“It seems a continuation of
what we saw when he was majority leader,” said Sen. John
Barrasso, R-Wyo. “I think he’s
trying to double down on what
has been very ineffective for him
as a method of trying to lead his
party. It’s backfiring.”
Particularly galling to Republicans is the fact that Reid
changed the Senate rules, eliminating filibusters for most of the
president’s nominations, an extraordinary step known in the
Senate as the nuclear option.
Said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the
Senate: “He’s been this way for a
long time.”
After another setback, Rubio
sees salvation in Florida
FISH HAWK, Fla.
(AP) — Coming off what
may be his worst night
of the primary season,
Marco Rubio’s make-orbreak moment has arrived.
And the Florida senator, a home-state underdog with a week to prove
he belongs in the 2016
presidential race, insists
Florida will be his salvation.
“It has to happen here,
and it has to happen
now,” he told a swelling
Sarasota crowd Tuesday
evening.
Rubio’s challenge is to
overtake
Republican
front-runner
Donald
Trump in Florida and
beat back a late push
from Ted Cruz, who
senses an opportunity to
sink Rubio even if he
can’t win the state himself. Rubio and his GOP
opponents know a loss
next Tuesday in Florida
would force him out of
the 2016 contest — and
scar his future political
ambitions, should he
have any.
Rubio’s march for survival got steeper Tuesday
night
after
fourth-place finishes in
both Michigan and Mississippi.
“This is do-or-die for
Rubio,” said die-hard
supporter Jim Wilson,
who follows the young
senator’s
campaign
across the country in his
pickup truck.
Suddenly reduced to a
single-state
strategy,
Rubio’s team says he will
campaign in Florida and
nowhere else for the
next week, even as four
other states also prepare
to host primary elections
Tuesday.

‘Bama holds pro day
Henry, other
Tide prospects
take field on

move to sixth in
national rankings

AP Sports Writer
TUSCALOOSA — 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-foot3,
243-pounder
aimed to show he’s
more than a between-the-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.
Others like linebacker Reggie
Ragland, defensive linemen A’Shawn
Robinson and Jarran Reed mainly did
position drills while teammates among
the 19 draft-eligible players got a chance
to showcase their skills — and 40 times.

CBSSports’ MaxPreps website, which
covers high school sports across America,
moved Curry from 15th
to sixth in the nation
after the Yellow Jackets’
sensational showing at
the Spain Park Tournament.
Curry won the tournament
championship,
along the way beating
other nationally ranked teams in Alabama such as Sumiton Christian and
Sparkman for a perfect 7-0 tournament
mark.
The Yellow Jackets’ performance on offense and defense has set the tone for
the 9-0 start.
Auburn signee Ashlee Swindle (8-0)
has picked up where she left off from last
year, which earned her several awards
including Class 4A Player and Pitcher of
the Year.
She’s given up four earned runs, five
walks and just 27 hits in 44 innings
pitched, with 62 strikeouts for an ERA of
.64.
At the plate, the Yellow Jackets’ bats
have had great production. Fellow
Auburn signee Justus Perry leads the
team with a .636 average, with 10 runs
scored, 10 RBIs, five doubles and two
homeruns. Swindle is batting .591 with
eight runs scored, nine RBIs, three doubles and a homerun.
Ole Miss signee Kaylee Horton has a
.565 average, with 11 runs scored, two
RBIs, two doubles, a triple, five stolen
bases and a homerun.
Veteran senior Taylor Rowe is off to a
strong start with a .500 average, four

Keuchel throws two shutout
innings in debut, Astros top Braves
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — AL Cy
Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel
pitched two shutout innings in his
spring training debut Wednesday, and
the Houston Astros went on to beat the
Atlanta Braves 9-5.
Keuchel faced eight batters, giving up
a walk to Freddie Freeman and a double
to Adonis Garcia before striking out
Kelly Johnson to end
the first inning.
“I’m nobody now.
It’s 2016 and I’m just
an Astros pitcher,” Keuchel said.
“We’ve got five or six good guys who
are vying for spots and who can help
take us to a championship.”
Keuchel went 20-8 and led the AL
with a 2.26 ERA and 232 innings.
“Getting him prepared for the season
starts with a nice quick outing, with
ground balls and a few swings and
misses. Very much Dallas Keuchel,”
manager A.J. Hinch said.
He gets four more starts before opening the season on April 4 at Yankee Stadium, where he won last year’s AL
wild-card game.
“It’s definitely based on how my body’s
feeling and reacting,” Keuchel said.
“I’m not going to be disappointed with
having a more tentative schedule and
just seeing how it goes. Right now it
feels great. It’s typical spring training
soreness and fatigue. It’s just about
stamina and building up the endurance.”
Jason Castro hit his first spring training home run for the Astros, a drive off
Julio Teheran, who also made his first
start.
Marwin Gonzalez hit his second
homer for Houston.
Jose Altuve’s two-run double highlighted a five-run fifth off Chris Volstad.
Teheran gave up three hits and two
runs in three innings.
STARTING TIME
Braves: Teheran gave up three hits
and two earned runs in three innings,
walking one and striking out one.
Astros: The double by Garcia was the
only hit off Keuchel, who gave up one
walk and had one strikeout.

Terms of the Wednesday’s deal with the longtime Cleveland Browns starter were not immediately available.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are
bringing back middle linebacker Rolando McClain
for a third season.
The agency that represents McClain, Sports
Trust Advisors, said in a tweet that the 26-year-old
had agreed to a contract Wednesday, the first day
of free agency.
The deal is for one year at $5 million, according
to a person with knowledge of the contract who
spoke to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because terms weren’t released.
The 2010 top 10 pick by Oakland resurrected
his career in Dallas after three disappointing seasons with the Raiders and a year away from football.
McClain has been among the leading tacklers in
both seasons with the Cowboys, although he
missed eight games because of injuries and a
four-game drug suspension.

DEAR ABBY: I have
very long hair and I’m
proud of it. I have worn
my hair long ever since I
was a little girl. My problem is when I go somewhere, other women come
up to me and start touching it. I understand that
they like my hair because
they always compliment
me on it, but I hate it
when strangers touch me.
Apparently, people have
forgotten the concept of
“personal space.” How can
I tell someone — without

must I just keep quiet and
tolerate it with a smile?

2 Baltimore officers charged in recorded assault on teen
BALTIMORE (AP) —
Two officers who police
Baltimore’s public schools
walked out of jail Wednesday pending trial for assault and misconduct after
their violent confrontation
with a student was
recorded
by
another
teenager.
Both have checkered
records, prompting parents and authorities alike
to
question
whether
enough is being done to
prevent violent people
from being hired to keep
schoolchildren peaceful
and safe.
Police said Wednesday
that Saverna Bias allegedly told her fellow officer, Anthony Spence, to use
force against the teen. According to a witness, she
said, “You need to smack
him because he’s got too
much mouth,” police said.
The video shows Spence
shouting profanities as he
repeatedly slaps and kicks
the boy, telling him to
leave the school and go
home.
Spence was not trying to
arrest the 10th grader, neither was he acting in reasonable self-defense, city
police said.
At a packed school board
meeting Tuesday night,
some parents and principals implored officials to
keep officers in the schools
for everyone’s safety. Students and their advocates
countered that having
armed police with insufficient oversight in schools
can be damaging and dangerous.
Tim Martin, an administrator at the New Hope
Academy, said he understands the frustration, but
believes most officers show
enough patience to “therapeutically de-escalate students in crisis and help
school personnel maintain
a safe school environment.”
Students from the activist group City Bloc also
spoke up, saying that
school police officers can
make some students feel
unsafe, threatening them
with the message that “the
world sees them as inher-
Video shows Google
self-driving car hit bus
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Newly released video
shows the moment a
Google self-driving car
learned the hard way not
to tussle with a public bus.
The collision happened
on Valentine’s Day, when a
Google vehicle struck the
side of a public bus in the
Silicon Valley city of
Mountain View. Footage
recorded by cameras on
the bus shows a Lexus
SUV, which Google has
outfitted with sensors and
cameras that let it drive itself, edging into the path of
the bus that was rolling by
at about 15 mph.
It was the first time in
several years of testing on
public roads that a Google
self-driving car prototype
caused a crash.
Google has blamed other
drivers for past collisions
during testing, but, in a
first, accepted at least partial responsibility for this
crash.
The Santa Clara Valley
Transportation Authority
released the video and
post-crash photos this
week to The Associated
Press under a public
records request.
Though it was a lowspeed collision, the impact
crumpled the Lexus’ front
left side, flattened the tire
and tore off the radar
Google installed to help
the SUV perceive its surroundings.
The Lexus had to be
towed. Neither the Google
employee in the driver’s
seat — who must be there
under California law to
take the wheel in an emergency — nor the 16 people
on the bus were injured.
The transit agency has
concluded based on the
footage that the bus driver
was
not
responsible,
spokeswoman
Stacey
Hendler Ross said. An independent claims adjustor
has not yet determined liability, she said.
The Feb. 14 crash is the
first in which Google has
acknowledged its car made
a mistake that led to a collision.
Google has reported that
between September 2014
and November, its prototypes drove themselves
about 400,000 miles on
city streets near its Silicon
Valley headquarters without causing a collision.

within 30 days, but has yet to receive a response.
Mayor Gilbert described the turn of events as “disturbing.”
“It seems like a bit of a lack of commitment from a
group that we were very committed to throughout our
process of designing and building that store. I hoped
that would have been reciprocated in the relationship,
but it hasn’t been to this point,” Gilbert said.
The city was awarded $1.4 million to rebuild a grocery
store after Piggly Wiggly was destroyed in the April
2011 tornadoes.
Piggly Wiggly owner Mark Bozeman was listed as the
grocer anticipated to go into the new building from the
start of the application process and signed a letter of intent necessary for the CEIDA to apply for the grant.
Also on Tuesday, the council hired Mark Bryant as a
part-time dispatcher.

Metal culverts in the locations have rusted, causing pipes to collapse.
In a previous council
meeting, a motion was approved for Jasper City
Purchasing Agent Derleda
Abrom to submit bids on
the drainage projects.
While no official bid has
been accepted, the council
estimates the costs of repair to be roughly $80,000.
The council also discussed the need for two
fuel pumps in the city to be
replaced. No action has
been taken to replace the
pumps, but the council did
state intent to explore
using Hager Oil for fuel
services.

ently violent and incapable

“We are not enemies or
punching bags,” a City College student said, reading
the City Bloc statement.
“Students shouldn’t be
criminalized. We need to
learn in an environment
where we don’t feel threatened by school police officers.
This
kind
of
brutalization of students
shouldn’t ever be tolerated. Students at every
school should be treated
with respect, and as humans who sometimes
make mistakes, not as people who deserve to be
thrown into prison or assaulted,” the statement
said.
Spence, 44, and Bias, 53,
turned themselves in
Tuesday night and were
released on bond on
charges of second-degree
assault and misconduct in
office.
Spence also is charged
with second-degree child
abuse. Both officers have
been
suspended, and
Spence is being denied pay,
since he faces a felony.
Baltimore School Police
Chief Marshall Goodwin,
whose department is separate from the city’s police
force, also went on leave,
for “personal reasons,” as
the video began circulating
a day after the March 1
confrontation. A week
later, as city police and
prosecutors continue investigating,
Baltimore
City Schools CEO Gregory
Thornton has refused to
explain his absence.
The criminal case is now
in the hands of the public
integrity unit of the Baltimore state’s attorney’s office. The school police
department also is conducting an internal investigation.
The video, meanwhile,
has put Thornton under
pressure to re-evaluate the
officers’ hiring and training, which some say is far
too lax.
“I was surprised, to be
candid. I was appalled, I
was disappointed; it really
cut right to who I am as a
person,” Thornton said at a
news conference.
“I’m charged to take care
of our children, and certainly we have some folks
who were doing things
that were inappropriate.
Every
emotion
went
through me, from outrage
to disappointment,” he
said.
Attempts
to
reach
Spence and Bias or their
attorneys on Wednesday
were not successful.
Spence told The Associated Press in a phone conversation on Friday that
would not discuss the
criminal investigation because he believes the news
media would “twist” the
story.
“Right now, I’m the bad
guy,” he said, referring
questions to his lawyer,
Michael Davey, who didn’t
immediately respond to
the AP.
Thornton insisted that
this was an isolated incident, but said it has
prompted a comprehensive
review of the entire police
force.
“We’ve used it as an op-
Dora
partment issued one.
Hall said the officers
had met to discuss this
matter and were in support of carrying the same
department
issued
weapons.
He then explained that
he wanted everyone to
have the same duty
weapon so that ammunition was interchangeable
among officers. If a situation were to arise with
multiple officers shooting
and one ran out of ammunition, officers would be
able to share their ammunition, he explained. Hall
went on to say that he is
currently working on a
policy for the department
that requires every officer
to carry the same duty
weapon.
The ammunition the department currently has for
the weapons officers carry
is being traded in for ammunition that can be used
with officers’ new duty
weapons.
After discussion, the
council approved paying
the rest of the cost of the
digital camera with money
from the court fund.
In other business, council members:
• heard from the mayor
about the road work on
Glover Road, which has
portunity to go into our
whole organization and
begin to talk about things:
How do we hire, how do we
train, look at background
checks,” he said.
Court records show that
in 2011, another Baltimore
School Police officer accused Spence of grabbing
her, striking her in the face
and preventing her from
driving away. The officer
later dropped her request
for a protective order
against him.
Bias was charged with
second-degree assault that
same year, for throwing a
bottle of alcohol at a man
she was breaking up with.
The man did not press
charges and that case was
shelved.
Spence was fired from
the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office in 2002 after he
was involved in the violent
arrest of a man the officers
falsely identified as a robbery suspect.
Goodwin would have
known this — he was a
sheriff’s spokesman at the
time.

been completed, and the
road has now been reopened. Stephens also said
that work on Sellers Road
was completed on Monday,
and he was still unsure
what the city would do to
fix Free Gospel Church
Road.
• tabled discussions of
renovations to the police
department. Hall made
the council aware of things
in the police station that
could use upgrading, including the flooring, ceiling, lighting and painting.
He pointed out that the department is in need of a
door that will allow the
dispatcher to buzz people
into the building, instead
of being able to walk in on
their own.
Hall also requested cabinets with doors to store
wires and battery backups
that are currently sitting
out in the open.
Council
member
Richard Lovelady requested that the council be
given prices for the renovations Hall requested.
Stephens said they would
get prices on tiling the
floor, repainting and cabinets and revisit the request at a later meeting.
• approved a $1,250 bid
to appraise the medical
clinic on Horse Creek
Boulevard. The council
also included in the motion
allowing the city to go
ahead and advertise the
clinic for lease even before
the appraisal is done.
• approved a motion to
comply with AMIC Procedure Recommendations
that will give Dora an additional 3 percent discount
on the city’s insurance.
The city has to send one
person to skid car training
and complete inspections
on the city’s buildings to
qualify for the discount.
• approved purchasing a
2008 John Deere 7130
tractor for $60,000. Half of
this amount will be taken
from the golf course fund.
The council had previously
approved the purchase of
another tractor but it sold
before the city could move
to purchase it. This tractor
is a model year newer than
the original one and, according to golf course manager Don Cummings, in
good shape.

course to pay for a fullpage advertisement to be

vehicles will definitely make a difference not only in cost, but also in
our response times. I think it was a
great decision by the mayor and
council, and I was more than happy
to be able to announce the vehicles
have been ordered.”
Yarbrough said the new vehicles
will come fully equipped with cages
and other safety equipment used in
police patrol cars. They are being
leased through Bancorp on a sixyear lease program for government
agencies. The cost of the lease per
vehicle is $6,983.28 per year.
“It will be about eight weeks before the new vehicles will be delivered, but we’re excited,” Yarbrough
said. “This lease program will allow
us to save money in the long run.”
Parrish District 2 Council Member
Jackie Shanklin asked Yarbrough
what the department planned to do
with the current vehicles once the
new ones arrived, and Yarbrough
said he plans to maintain the vehicles the department currently has as
spares.
Yarbrough said his department
has also applied for a grant to purchase 10 new radios - six portable
hand-held radios and four mobile

“I asked the council if our new
part-time patrol officer, Darryl Gregory, could be moved to full time,”
Yarbrough said. “He is doing a great
job, and I would just like to move
him from part-time to full-time.”
The council also voted to accept a
letter of resignation from another
part-time patrol officer, Aaron Moseley.
Yarbrough also asked the council
to consider hiring another part-time
patrol officer should Officer Gregory
be moved to full-time and two other
part-time employees to help with
dispatching to help with scheduling
conflicts.
The council also listened to concerns from a number of citizens who
attended the meeting regarding
speeders in their neighborhoods and
trash being dumped along the roadways. The three areas of concern
were Crest Avenue, Williamstown
Lane and Park Dunn Road.
Mayor Ramsey thanked the citizens for making the council aware of
the problems, and he and the other
council members, as well as the police department, said they will be
doing everything within their power
to address both issues.
“The town of Parrish has an ordinance against dumping trash along
our roadways, and if the citizens will
let us know that is going on we can
do our best to take care of it,” Ramsey said.
“We have also agreed to put speed
bumps on Crest Avenue and other
areas that have been brought to our
attention, in an effort to help slow
the traffic down.”
Ramsey said as soon as the material is ordered and the necessary
signs are put in place to warn people, the speed bumps will be put in
place along some of the dangerous
areas on the roads.
In other business, the council also
approved to renew its contract with
Revenue Discovery Systems (RDS),
which collects the business license
and sales tax revenues for the town
of Parrish.
Ramsey also informed everyone
that the 2nd annual Town of Parrish
BBQ Cook-off and Antique Car
Show will be held the last Saturday
in April, and the planning committee is searching for volunteers to
help with the event.
“The planning committee meets
every Monday at 5 p.m. at the Parrish Community Center [the old Parrish High School],” Ramsey said.
