PUTNAM COUNTY — Following
Super Tuesday, a few candidates for local
and state elected offices are already looking ahead to the county general and state
primary elections on Aug. 4.
Among them are State Representative
Ryan Williams of the 42nd District, who
qualified on Feb. 1 to be a candidate for
his current seat in the Republican Primary. Williams is already expected to
face a contest in that election from Putnam Democratic Party Chairman Amos
Powers, who picked up qualifying papers
on Feb. 24, but has not yet returned those
to the Putnam Election Commission.
Other primaries on Aug. 4 are for the
seat in the 25th District of the Tennessee
House, currently held by Cameron Sexton, and the 6th District seat of the U.S.
House, held by Diane Black.
In three seats to be elected on the Putnam County School Board, incumbents
Dawn Fry and Kim Cravens have already
picked up qualifying papers in the 1st
District and 3rd District, respectively.
Eric Brown, who currently represents the
5th District, has not picked up qualifying
papers.
In Algood, incumbent Jennifer Robinson
Green and Ruby N. Hawkins are the only

Man cited for root
beer shoplifting
By tRAcEY HAcKEtt
COOKEVILLE — A Jamestown
man today may be questioning just
how good the product was that he
reportedly stole from a Cookeville
grocery store on Tuesday morning.
Timothy Dustin Matthews, of
Lincoln Road in Jamestown, was
cited for shoplifting in an incident
that happened at a South Jefferson
Avenue grocery store.
The incident reportedly happened shortly after 8:15 a.m. on
Tuesday.
And according to a report by
Cookeville Police Officer Marc
deClaire, the product the man had
attempted to steal was an alcoholic
beverage called Damn Good Root
Beer.
“Store personnel detained Timothy Matthews for passing all
points of sale and exiting the store
with ‘Damn Good Root Beer,’
which is an alcoholic beverage,”
Officer deClaire said.
The value of the beverage is
$8.49.
Officer deClaire said he issued a
citation to Matthews instead of
taking him into custody.
Matthews has been scheduled for
an initial appearance in Putnam
County General Sessions Court
for April 4.

We have worked so hard to see our

COOKEVILLE — Nearly four

Sandlin, who has been in the banking industry for nearly 16 years, is

COOKEVILLE — Have you ever been so
drunk you thought you were wanted by the
authorities?
That apparently happened to a Cookeville
man here Tuesday night, according to a report by Cookeville Police Officer Jamar
Minter.
Officers Minter and Brian Haworth reportedly encountered the man, later identified as
Tommy Dale Boggs, around 9:15 p.m. near
the intersection of South Lowe Avenue and
East Jackson Street.
“Officer Haworth told me he observed the
male finishing a bottle of gin,” Officer Minter
reports.
“When asked about the drink, he told us he
finished the drink because he was on his way
to turn himself in to the jail. A records check
was conducted, and he showed to have no
warrants,” the officer continued.
They attempted to call a cab for the man,
but after he became belligerent and uncooperative with the officers, they instead obliged
his desire to be taken to jail.
As the officers were placing the man in custody, he reportedly became more and more
uncooperative.
When Officer Haworth attempted to place
handcuffs on the man, he said, “he fell to the
ground and attempted to dead weight me.”
The two officers did manage to get Boggs
in handcuffs and placed in the rear of a patrol
car, where he was transported to the Putnam
County Jail.
There, he was again uncooperative, the officers report.
“He fell on the floor of the Sally port. Correctional officers came out and assisted me
with carrying him into intake,” Officer
Minter reports.
Boggs was charged with public intoxication.

ELECTION: Few have qualified for August elections
From Page A1
11, but neither has returned those to the election commission.
For the two alderman seats in Baxter, incumbents Jeff Herald and Harmon Garris
along with Dustin J. Stanton have picked up
qualifying papers to become candidates. No
one has picked up qualifying papers for Baxter City Recorder, a position currently held
by Stacey Austin, who recently announced
she was resigning from that position.
In Monterey, incumbent Dale Welch and
Charles Looper picked up qualifying papers
for the four aldermen positions to be elected.
Other current aldermen whose seats are on
the August ballot, Mark Farley, Amy Clark
and Clarice Weist, have not picked up qualifying papers. Monterey Mayor Bill Wiggins
is the only person to have picked up qualifying papers to be a candidate in that election.
Those who wish to qualify to be a candidate
in the school board, Algood, Baxter and
Monterey elections have until noon on April
7 to qualify.
Putnam Election Administrator Debbie
Steidl said although 25 nominating signatures are required, she recommends that potential candidates gather 35 to 50 signatures
in the case that some of the signatures belong
to people who aren’t registered to vote.
Candidates must pick up and turn in qualifying papers and signatures to the Putnam
Election Commission Office at 705 County
Services Drive in Cookeville.

work of leadership, from

“The key is that they have
been promoting that planned
growth,” she said. “Our
leaders are listening.”
She also noted how the different economic engines of
area, such as Tennessee Tech
and Cookeville Regional
Medical Center, are working
with officials to get things
rolling.
“There have been several
opportunities that the bank
has been involved in, both
inside and outside of
Cookeville, that have been
great learning experiences,”
she said. “It’s exciting to see
what is to come.”
When the IDB meets next
week, members will review
proposed changes to the City
of Cookeville resolution delegating certain PILOT (Payment In Lieu of Taxes)
powers to the IDB, and consider acceptance of the powers granted therein; to
consider and authorize an
application to the city council for permission to amend
the certificate of incorporation of the IDB to conform
the stated purposes of the
IDB to the types of projects
authorized by state law; to
authorize and execute articles of amendments to the
charter of the IDB to conform the stated purposes of
the IDB to the types of projects authorized by state law;
to consider and approve proposed revisions to the IDB’s
policies and procedures for
PILOT projects; to consider
and approve proposed
changes and updates to the
June 14, 2012, amended and
restated bylaws of the IDB;
and elect officers for the
coming year.
The charter change was
discussed at the IDB’s last
meeting held in early November.
“The current charter is
fairly restrictive to what the
IDB can do,” David Ledbetter, attorney, explained during November’s meeting.
“Today, the tools (incentives) available for economic
and community development
have moved on, there are
lots of different types of
tools available...and this
change would allow us to
use those tools allowed to us
under state law. State law is
much broader than what
we’ve been working under.”
The charter dates back to
1979.
“The intent of the legislature, when they allowed
IDBs to be formed, was to
give Tennessee cities some
tools to go out and recruit industry, which they did...and
so that tool was available at
that time worked well for
us,” Ledbetter continued.
“We’ve worked under that
for many years.”
With the change in the economic environment since the
formation of IDBs, many
new incentives have come
along, which are not addressed in the charter’s current form.
The IDB will hold their annual meeting at 8 a.m.
Thursday, March 10, in the
Cookeville-Putnam County
Chamber of Commerce
board room. The public is
invited to attend.

More Tennessee taxpayers filing electronic returns this year
William, Emma are top
baby names in Tennessee
NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee record keepers say the top names for
new babies in 2015 remained unchanged.
The most popular boy’s name was William, just as it has been for nine
straight years. For girls, Emma was again the most popular name, continuing the placement it has held since 2011.
The Tennessee Office of Vital Records says following William, the
most popular names for boys last year were James, Elijah, Mason, Noah,
Liam, Jackson, Jacob, John and Carter, a newcomer to the list.
For girls, the top names after Emma in 2015 were Olivia, Ava, Harper,
Abigail, Sophia, Elizabeth, Isabella, Madison and Emily. The No. 10
name, Emily, is also new to the latest standings.
The Office of Vital Records pulls data on Tennessee’s most popular
baby names from birth certificates.

‘Soul murder’
in Altoona
I
f you’ve seen the excellent
movie “Spotlight,” you know
what it takes for a newspaper to
expose the sexual abuse of children
by priests in the Catholic Church.
“Spotlight,” which won the Academy Award for best picture of 2015,
is the true story of how the Boston
Globe’s investigative Spotlight
team uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and coverup within the Boston Archdiocese.
Challenging one of the most powerful institutions in Boston, digging
up the ugly truth and detailing it on
Page 1 took a strong mix of principle and guts by the Globe’s editor,
Marty Baron.
Many journalists and editors
around the
country before
him had heard
similar charges
about priests repeatedly molesting children
in their cities
and towns, but
they had done
nothing.
Michael
The Globe’s
Reagan
in-depth investigation, which
began in 2001, made headlines
around the world, shamed the
Boston Archdiocese and shook the
entire Catholic Church to its core.
It set off a series of exposes in
other cities that proved that the
problem the Catholic Church — my
church — was having with serial
pedophiles was nothing new or restricted to Boston.
Soon after, the L.A. Times, my
hometown paper, showed that for
decades the hierarchy of the Los
Angeles diocese “plotted to keep
law enforcement from learning that
children had been molested at the
hands of priests.”
In 2005 and 2011 grand jury
probes found rampant child abuse
in the Philadelphia Archdiocese,
which included moving known pedophiles around from one unsuspecting parish to another.
What went on in L.A. and Philly
fit the pattern described in the 2012
HBO documentary, “Mea Maxima
Culpa: Silence in the House of
God.” As I wrote in the 2013, that powerful documentary proved that from
Ireland to Wisconsin “the church’s
bishops and cardinals have a long
and disgusting history of protecting
pedophile priests, ignoring children’s allegations of sexual abuse,
paying the parents of victims to
keep quiet and keeping the sex
crimes of priests secret from law
enforcement.”
We can now add the diocese of Altoona, Pa., to the Church’s list of
sins against children.
The headlines in Tuesday’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette told a familiar
story: “Grand jury: Altoona diocese
concealed sex abuse of hundreds of
children by priests.”
According to a graphic 147-page
report by a state grand jury, at least
50 Catholic priests and other
Church members in the western
Pennsylvania town had molested
and raped hundreds of kids between
the 1940s and the 1980s.
What the pedophiles did to kids at
summer camp, in their own homes
and in Altoona’s cathedral was not
only covered up by their bishops
and their immediate superiors, it
also was abetted by judges, sheriffs
and other law enforcement officials
in two counties who knew about the
abuse.
The grand jury report said the
sleazy church-state conspiracy to
avoid public scandal and protect
known and dangerous pedophiles in
Altoona amounted to the “soul murder” of the victims.
As someone who was molested by
a day camp counselor in third
grade, I understand what that term
means all too well. The most frustrating part of the
Altoona investigation, which is ongoing, is that the abusers and their
enablers — though known — are
never going to be indicted or punished. Some of the guilty are dead. Some
of their victims were too traumatized to testify. But in most cases it’s too late to
prosecute because the statute of
limitations for criminal and civil
cases that was in effect at the time
of the crimes was only two or three
years.
The law has been changed. Victim
now have until age 30 to sue for
child abuse in civil court and in
some cases are able to file criminal
charges until they turn 50.
But Pennsylvania should join
other states and do what its grand
jury report proposes — completely
remove all statutes of limitations
for child abuse.
If the Catholic Church is sincerely
sorry for its sins, and truly interested in preventing future victims
of pedophila, it will publicly support that idea.

Inoculated against truth
B
y now it’s obvious that lecturing Donald Trump supporters
about why they shouldn’t vote
for him only confirms their convictions.
If you’re part of the “establishment,”
which approximately means anyone
who has served in government or, grab
your garlic garland, a member of the
media, your opinion matters less than
whatever you scraped off your shoe.
It also matters not that Trump loves
the media when it suits him (see
“Morning Joe”). Or, that Trump
wouldn’t be where he is without the
media’s compliance in covering every
word he utters. Both he and early endorser Sarah Palin have been masters
of media manipulation — knowing
how to attract attention that necessitates coverage, while also mocking
journalists when they show up.
The challenge for people who fear a
Trump presidency even more than others covet it comes down to: How do
you convince the inconvincible? How
do you persuade the proudly unpersuadable?
First, you probably should buy them
a drink, and then you should try not to
insult them. (I’m talking to myself
here.) Too often we in the media say or
write things that feel more like a putdown than an observation. To say, for
example, that someone is “undereducated” (a term often used to describe
poll results), which is true of a large
portion of Trump’s base, isn’t the same
as calling someone stupid. But it might
feel that way if you’re on the receiving
end.
Most people know that college doesn’t endow intelligence. It’s all in how
you say things, which one wishes
Trump appreciated more. He isn’t just
coarse and rude, but is often vile.
Second, the motivating anger of his
constituents needs
to be respected
and its origins
fully understood.
It’s too easy to
capture a disordered individual
acting out as representative of the
crazies-forTrump. Unfortunately, when your
Kathleen
jobs are in China,
Parker
the southern border has been overrun with people entering illegally, your
fellow citizens are attacked by radical
Islamists, and the president whose
policies you abhor happens to be
African-American, it’s easy for others
to interpret anger about policies into
anger toward groups of people.
Trump, alas, has made it exceedingly
easy.
Some of his fans may well be guilty
of a variety of phobias and -isms, but
the sum of Trump’s popularity is more
aptly found in his offering what these
voters feel they haven’t had — a voice
and a place at America’s table. Trump
has given them a megaphone and a
chair. Most important, he has given
them a purpose.
“Make America Great Again” is a
grand cause that can mean whatever
you need it to mean. Trump himself is
a conduit to the belongingness imperative, the human need to be a part of
something larger than oneself.
Whether Trump realizes this consciously, he has the primitive instinct
of a tribal leader. He senses how to
marshal his warriors, who, emotionally
committed, are loath to desert.
This was apparent in Nevada when
Trump won rural voters who should
have belonged to Ted Cruz, based on
Republican ‘takers’ take down the establishment
J
ust as Donald Trump did a Super Tuesday stomp on the Republican establishment, the establishment showed why it
deserved the rough treatment. The Republican Senate leadership yet again announced
its refusal to consider anyone President
Obama nominates for the Supreme Court
until after the presidential election.
It is the job of the U.S. Senate to hold
hearings on, and then accept or reject, the
president’s choice. Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Committee
Chairman Chuck Grassley said they will
not take on the work — while showing no
inclination to forgo their paychecks.
Talk about “takers.”
Yes, talk about “takers.” That’s how Mitt
Romney described Americans benefiting
from Medicare, Social Security, Obamacare and other government social programs during his failed 2012 run for
president. Never mind that most of the
“takers” have also paid for some of what
they have received.
Working-class Republicans have finally
rebelled against the notion that everything
they get is beneficence from the superrich
— and that making the superrich superduper-rich would drop some tinsel on their
grateful heads. They were done with quiet
protest and ready to take down the Republican bastille, stone by stone. And the angrier
Trump made the establishment the happier
they were.
The Bastille was the
symbol of France’s Old
Regime. The storming
of the prison in 1789
kicked off the French
Revolution.
Republican disrupters
from Newt Gingrich on
down liked to talk
Froma
about a conservative
Harrop
revolution. They didn’t
know the first thing
about revolutions. This is a revolution.
Back at the chateau, Republican luminaries were calmly planning favors for their
financiers. They assumed their party’s
working folk would fall in line — out of
both hostility to Democrats and through
hypnosis.
So you had Jeb Bush amassing an armory
of campaign cash over bubbly and hors
d’oeuvres at the family estate in Maine.
You had Marco Rubio devising a plan to
do away with all capital gains taxes — the
source of half the earnings for people making $10 million or more. You had Ted Cruz
concocting a plan to abolish the IRS.
(Without the IRS, only the working stiffs
would be paying taxes, the money auto-
matically deducted from their paychecks.)
Not much here for the alleged takers,
who actually see themselves as “taken
from.” Unlike the others, Trump wasn’t
going after their benefits. He even praised
Planned Parenthood, noting it provides a
variety of health services to ordinary
women.
Trump would be a disastrous president, of
course. But he knows how to inspire the
“enraged ones.” In the French Revolution,
the enraged ones were extremists who sent
many of the moderate revolutionaries to
the guillotine. (The enraged ones also
ended badly.)
Democrats need to continue pressing reform that is humane both to immigrants already rooted in the society and to the
country’s low-skilled workforce. Do that
and the air comes whooshing out of
Trump’s balloon.
Back in Washington, the Republican
leaders will probably continue to avoid
work on this issue or a Supreme Court
nominee or anything else Obama wants.
They should enjoy their leisure. After
Election Day, many may have to look for
real jobs.

the all-important public lands issue.
The federal government owns a whopping 84.9 percent of Nevada’s land.
Cruz promised he would return the
land to the state; Trump said he wouldn’t.
One insider told me that when Cruz
researchers showed rural voters news
video of the comments, most rejected
the video as doctored. They were inoculated to any truth that ran contrary to
their beliefs. Data be damned.
The irony is that this deep distrust of
the establishment and the media is the
Republican Party’s own handiwork. Its
leaders and operatives have been
preaching for decades that the government and journalists can’t be trusted.
The tragedy is that, of all those mentioned here, the most untrustworthy
and dishonest is Trump. He undeniably
lied a few days ago when he said he
didn’t know anything about David
Duke in what otherwise would have
been the easiest disavowal in political
history. In fact, Trump specifically
mentioned Duke in a 2000 interview
that many have heard by now.
His dishonesty consists of promises
he knows he can’t possibly keep,
whether forcing Mexico to pay for a
border wall or deporting 11 million illegal immigrants, though my favorite
is promising Wofford College students
that they’ll all have jobs upon graduation. In Palm Beach, Florida, recently,
I heard from more than a few of
Trump’s neighbors, “He doesn’t believe anything he’s saying.” I suppose
there’s some comfort in that thought,
but then what does he believe?
By unanimous assent, he believes in
The Donald.

Growth at U.S.
services firms skids
to slowest pace
in 2 years
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
private survey says the growth
of U.S. services companies in
February slowed to the worst
pace in two years, as a measure
of hiring turned negative.
The Institute for Supply Management says that its services
index dipped to 53.4 last month
from 53.5 in January. February’s reading was the lowest
since February 2014.
Still, any reading above 50
signals that services firms are
expanding. The survey showed
continued but slower growth
for business activity and new
orders. But the employment
component was 49.7, which
signals contraction.
The ISM is a trade group of
purchasing managers.
Its services survey covers
businesses that employ the vast
majority of workers, including
retail, construction, health care
and financial services companies.
Teacher resigns over
nude pictures taken
from her cellphone
UNION, S.C. (AP) — Some
South Carolina high school students are calling for the return
of a teacher who resigned after
a student spread a nude picture
of her through text messages
and social media.
Union County High School
teacher Leigh Anne Arthur, 33,
told news outlets she left her
cellphone on her desk Monday
as she monitored a hallway
during a class change.
A 16-year-old boy took her
phone, and with his own phone
took pictures of nude images of
Arthur on her phone, she said.
Arthur said she took the picture to send to her husband for
Valentine’s Day.
But David Eubanks, interim
superintendent of Union
County schools, said Arthur
was in the wrong because the
phone was unlocked.
Eubanks said he’s unsure if
the student will face disciplinary action.
School officials don’t know
how many students saw the
picture.
Arthur said she forgives the
student, but believes he should
be held responsible for his actions.
“We all make stupid decisions
when we’re 16,” Arthur told
WYFF-TV.
“He had the ultimate decision
to take pictures of my pictures
and he had the ultimate decision to send them out,” she told
the station.
Killer who ate
friend's brain is
denied parole
for 5th time
MILFORD, Ohio (AP) — An
Ohio man who killed his roommate in 1978 and ate part of his
brain has been denied parole a
fifth time.
The Ohio Parole Board held a
private release consideration
hearing for 60-year-old inmate
David Allen Chapin on Feb. 1.
The Central Office Board Review took over the case when
the panel couldn’t reach a majority decision.
They found Chapin “unsuitable for release,” according to
JoEllen Smith of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and
Correction.
He would next be considered
for parole in December 2018,
the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Wednesday.
Chapin is serving life at a
prison in Lima for shooting his
longtime friend Donald Liming
in the eye during a dispute over
religion. Chapin was a Baptist.
Liming had said he was a
Catholic, a Buddhist and a
pagan.
The then-23-year-olds shared
an apartment in Milford, in
southwest Ohio.
Fox’s Megyn Kelly getting back onstage with Trump
NEW YORK (AP) — Fox
News Channel’s Megyn Kelly
says she’s not anticipating any
more fights with Donald Trump
in Thursday’s Republican presidential debate, and that she’s
preparing the same “tough but
fair” questions for him as she
does for other candidates.
The stage in Detroit will be a little emptier with Ben Carson suspending his campaign on
Wednesday. All eyes will be on
Kelly and Trump, who clashed
during the first GOP debate last
summer.
Trump then boycotted an Iowa
debate that Fox telecast in January after the network refused to
remove Kelly as one of the moderators.
Thursday’s two-hour debate
starts at 9 p.m. EST; Kelly will
moderate along with Bret Baier
Kelly’s questioning angered
Trump during the first GOP debate last August, most prominently when he was confronted
with some of his past comments
about women.
He then unleashed attacks on
her on social media and in interviews, renewing them just before
the Iowa debate. After Trump
skipped that debate, he lost the
Iowa caucuses to Ted Cruz.
Trump spokeswoman Hope
Hicks said he looks forward to
Thursday’s debate.
“It’s not a focus of our preparation but obviously it’s the elephant in the room,” Fox’s Baier
said.
“It’s not front of mind, but it’s
in mind. We’re not going to focus
on one candidate or the other.”
Kelly said Trump was much
more in his head before the Iowa
debate, when moderators prepared one set of questions for if
he showed up, and another for if
he didn’t. Now she believes
Trump is more concentrated on
sewing up the nomination.
“I don’t need to be overly tough
to prove that I am some sort of
tough gal and I don’t want to go
easy on him to disprove the people who think I have it in for
him,” she said. She believes
Trump, a novice politician, had
the misguided thought Fox
would go easy on him during the
August debate.
“Perhaps his expectations for
the event were not set properly
by the people who were advising
him,” she said. “I think at this
point in the game he understands
better how these things go. He
knows he can handle me. He can
handle any interviewer.”

The light schedule is due in part to a battle over
spending that has stalled the budget, which GOP
leaders had hoped to consider this week. There is
also disagreement over a Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill. Those measures could
bring more heft to the floor schedule this spring,
along with upcoming legislation to combat heroin
and opioid abuse and reform the criminal justice
system.
Last year, GOP leaders filled the floor with initiatives taking on President Barack Obama.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter gestures during a news conference at the Pentagon.
Pentagon seeks a few good
computer hackers to test security
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Pentagon is looking for a few
good computer hackers.
Screened high-tech specialists
will be brought in to try to breach
the Defense Department’s public
Internet pages in a pilot program
aimed at finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
According to the Pentagon, it is
the first time the federal government has undertaken a program
with outsiders attempting to
breach the networks.
Large companies have done
similar things.
Defense officials laid out the
broad outlines of the plan
Wednesday, but had few details
on how it will work, what Pentagon systems would be tested and
how the hackers would be compensated.
Called “Hack the Pentagon,”
the program will begin next
month. Department officials and
lawyers still must work through
a number of legal issues involving the authorization of so-called
“white-hat hackers” to breach active Pentagon websites.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter
said he will be “inviting responsible hackers to test our cybersecurity,” adding that he believes
the program will “strengthen our
digital defenses and ultimately
enhance our national security.”
Speaking at a tech industry
event in San Francisco, Carter
said the idea came from Silicon
Valley, where tech companies
offer financial rewards or bounties for finding vulnerabilities.
“We’re trying to adopt what is a
best practice,” he said. “It’s a
way of crowdsourcing the expertise and having access to good
people. ... You’d much rather find
the vulnerabilities in your networks in that way” — rather than
wait for malicious hackers to
steal information or compromise
a system.
Defense Department systems
get probed and attacked millions
of times a day, officials say.

in Brief
Deputies kill suspect
after standoff
BEL AIR, Md. (AP) —
Maryland deputies shot and
killed a 35-year-old man following a standoff at a home.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office says in a news release that deputies responded
to a home in Bel Air on
Wednesday afternoon after reports of a suicidal subject.
Deputies attempted to communicate with the unidentified
suspect, but he eventually exited the home and fired a gun,
causing officers to seek cover.
No one was injured at the
time. Deputies say the suspect
then retreated into the residence. Members of the Special Response Team attempted
to negotiate with the suspect.
Authorities say the suspect exited the home again and
moved toward deputies. The
sheriff’s office says his actions
caused deputies to fear for
their safety, leading them to
shoot and mortally wound the
man.

NUIQSUT, Alaska (AP) —
Rising from the edgeless, windscoured, snow-covered tundra on
Alaska’s North Slope lies a million-pound drilling rig pulling
the first commercial oil from a
reserve set aside nearly a century
ago.
ConocoPhillips is the first oil
company to draw crude from the
National Petroleum ReserveAlaska, an area the size of Indiana which President Warren G.
Harding dedicated as an emergency oil supply for the U.S.
Navy in 1923.
Getting to this point took compromises with Alaska Natives
while keeping environmental
concerns in mind.
The Bureau of Land Management, which controls the reserve,
in 2013 identified 12 million
acres that could be available for
development while setting aside
11 million acres to protect wild
animals and grazing lands.
The drilling rig first began
pulling up oil in October, and at
peak production will produce
16,000 barrels a day from the
Colville-Delta 5 field, or as it’s
more commonly known, CD5. It
also will serve as a launch pad

Ice forms on pipelines built near the Colville-Delta 5 field, or as it’s more commonly
known, CD5, drilling site on Alaska’s North Slope.
for another nearby fields in
Alaska’s Arctic.
The Colville-Delta 5 field itself
is an extension of the ConocoPhillips’ Alpine field, located
about five miles to the east.
“We’ve spent more than a
dozen years trying to achieve the
permits to do the development,
to complete the development,”
Jim Brodie, the capital projects
manager for ConocoPhillips in
the reserve, said of the $1 billion
project earlier this month after
reporters toured the North Slope
facility last month. “It’s a sizable
investment.”
The project included a 6-mile
gravel road, four bridges over
channels of the Colville River,
including one 1,400 foot-expanse, 32 miles of pipelines, and
miles of communications and
electrical infrastructure that tie
the field back to the main Alpine
facilities.
Oil that is being brought up
goes back to Alpine for processing, and then is sent 800 miles
down the trans-Alaska pipeline
for shipment out of Valdez.
The oil is being drilled on surface land which is owned by
Kuukpik Corp., an Alaska Native village corporation for the
nearby community of Nuiqsut,
located about 25 miles south of
the Arctic Ocean, or 625 miles
north of Anchorage.
Village residents who live a
subsistence lifestyle objected to
the original plans for one of the
bridges over the Colville River
to the oilfield, worried that it
might interfere with fishing access.
Brodie said ConocoPhillips
pulled its permit package to
come up with an alternate plan,
working “with the community
and the elders and established a
new location for the Nigliq
Channel Bridge, which caused a
reroute of the road and it was at
considerable expense to ConocoPhillips but at the same time
we got the support from the
community and it enabled the
project to move forward.”
The Inupiat village agreed with
the new plan and now welcome
the financial opportunities that
oil brings to the native community in terms of taxes and jobs.
Egyptian student may be deported after Trump threat
CONCRETE, Wash. (AP) —
A 43-year-old man has died
after authorities say he accidentally shot himself in the
face while taking selfies.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports the man and his girlfriend were photographing
themselves with the weapon
on Sunday at a residence when
he shot himself.
Skagit County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Chief Chad Clark
says the woman reported that
she and the man had taken
photos with the gun several
times that day and that the
man had loaded and unloaded
bullets multiple times.
ORANGE, Calif. (AP) — A
flight student from Egypt is facing deportation from the United
States after being investigated by
federal agents for posting on his
Facebook page that he was willing to kill Donald Trump and the
world would thank him.
While U.S. prosecutors have
not
charged
23-year-old
Emadeldin Elsayed with a crime,
immigration authorities arrested
him last month at the Los Angeles-area flight school he attended
and now are trying to deport him,
attorney Hani Bushra said
Wednesday.
Elsayed, who is being held in a
jail in Orange, California, is devastated at seeing his dreams of
becoming a pilot dashed over
what Bushra acknowledged was
a foolish social media post. An
immigration court hearing will
determine whether Elsayed will
be deported.
“It seems like the government
was not able to get a criminal
charge to stick on him, so they
used the immigration process to
have him leave the country,”
Bushra said.
“The rhetoric is particularly
high in this election, and I just
feel he got caught up in the middle.”
Trump is leading the Republican presidential contenders and
has used especially tough talk on
immigration to win over many
voters. He has vowed to build a
wall along the entire Mexican
border and has called for temporarily banning Muslims from
entering the country.
U.S. Secret Service agents interviewed Elsayed in early February after he posted a photo of
Trump on Facebook and wrote he
was willing to serve a life sentence for killing the billionaire
and the world would thank him,
Bushra said.
The agents returned eight days
later and told him federal prosecutors had declined to charge him
but said his visa to attend flight
school had been revoked.
He was arrested by immigration
authorities.
Elsayed said he wrote the message because he was angered by
Trump’s comments about Muslims. He said he immediately regretted it, and he never intended
to harm anyone.

That your parents would allow
Aaron to sit around all day

means they are his enablers.
There is truth to the saying,
“The Lord helps those who

could wind up living in the

of supporting them financially.
That responsibility is not and

DEAR ABBY: I just got married to a beautiful woman.
She’s tall and elegant. The
problem is, she’s addicted to
taking pictures of herself. She
takes at least 100 of them a day.
When we’re driving, she’s
busy taking selfies. When we
go out, she asks me to take pictures of her. If I tell her I don’t
want to take more pictures, she
pleads with me to take “just
one more,” which really means
five.
When we are out to dinner
and I get up to go to the restroom, she asks total strangers
to take her picture. When we
were on vacation and we went
to the pool, she wore full
makeup for two reasons, she
said: (1) She’s not putting her
head under water, and (2) she
wants some pictures taken of

It will take effort on your part

And it is good.
I found this

Ray
cookie dough, and
you can get creative and add two or three ingredients
to make a lot of different kinds (and
they are easy and fast). There is a lot
of variety that can be made from one
dough. You can add chocolate chips,
peanut butter, applesauce, orange zest,
different flavorings or extracts, molasses, raisins, nuts, crisped rice cereal
or candies.
Basic Cookie Dough
1⁄2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
In a large bowl, cream butter and
sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat
until light and fluffy. In medium bowl,
sift salt, baking powder and flour together. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
Cover and refrigerate dough until
ready to use. Warm to room temperature before using. You can even freeze
the dough for up to several weeks. Just
thaw and bring it to room temperature
and you’re good to go.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a
medium bowl, mix walnuts with basic

until lightly browned around edges.
Remove from oven and let cookies
cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute,
then transfer to cooling rack. When
cool, frost with maple icing.
Maple Icing
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1⁄2 cups powdered sugar
1⁄4 cup maple syrup
Combine butter, powdered sugar and
maple syrup in medium bowl. Beat
until well blended and mixture is
smooth.

cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and
mix again. Add flour and vanilla and
mix well. Roll thin on a floured board
and cut with a cookie or biscuit cutter.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and
bake for 10 minutes, until lightly
browned on the edges. Sprinkle with
sugar while still warm or ice with simple icing then cool.
This makes about three dozen cookies. We ate them without the icing but
here is a simple icing recipe if you
would like to try.

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1⁄2 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large bowl, cut the butter into the

stir until any lumps are gone. And the
vanilla and food coloring, if you want a
little color. Stir until combined. Spoon
onto cookies or tea cakes and spread
with the back of a spoon. Top with sprinkles while still wet, if desired. Let dry

This cake delicious love child of brownies, pudding
By ALISON LADMAN
Associated Press
This chocolate cake is more delicious
and more indulgent than any dessert has
a right to be. And you will thank us for
that.
The goal was a chocolate cake that
combined the best attributes of brownies
and pudding. Which is to say, we wanted
it both tender and cakey, but also richly
moist, even gooey. And the best environment for cooking such a cake turned out
to be the slow cooker. It heats the cake
slowly and gently while retaining all the
moisture.
For extra decadence, we built our cake
over a layer of frozen cherries, giving it
a Black Forest effect. The resulting
dessert has a cakey exterior, but a pudding-like center. Served warm with a
dollop of vanilla ice cream or whipped
cream, you’ll never believe this treat
came from your slow cooker.
Feel free to mix up the fruit. If cherries
don’t do it for you, substitute frozen
blueberries, peaches or mango chunks.
And feel free to assemble and refrigerate
it the night before in the slow cooker

next day.

Old quote inspires new recipe for cherry-peach pie
I
came across an old quote from
poet Edgar Guest that I adore:
“There’s no diet list I’ll follow that
would rule out cherry pie.” I immediately found myself craving cherry pie,
but only had a small bag of cherries
and a single bag of peaches left in the
freezer. Cherry-Peach Pie, perhaps?
The result is a gourmet treat for the
eye and palate. The cherries color the
peaches with their deep ruby tint, and
their essences combine flawlessly.
Serve this pie hot in a bowl, with a
dollop of real whipped cream. Don’t
worry for a second about the cobbler
consistency. It is part of the charm of
this rustic dessert.
I wonder if Mr. Guest would include
Hot Cherry-Peach Pie in his diet list?
It’s firmly planted in mine. Enjoy!

Debris on Mozambique beach may be from MH370
By KRISTEN GELINEAU
Associated Press
AP
A piece of aircraft debris with the
words “NO STEP” is photographed
after it was found washed up on a
beach in Mozambique.
SYDNEY (AP) — Debris that washed
ashore in Mozambique that may be
from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight
370 turned up in a spot that matches investigators’ theories about where wreckage from the plane would have ended
up, Australian officials said Thursday.
Photos of the debris discovered over
the weekend appear to show the fixed
leading edge of the right-hand tail section of a Boeing 777, said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. Flight 370, which
disappeared two years ago with 239
people aboard, is the only known missing 777.
The plane is believed to have crashed
somewhere in a remote stretch of the
southern Indian Ocean far off Australia’s west coast and about 6,000 kilo-
meters (3,700 miles) to the east of
Mozambique. But authorities have long
predicted that any debris from the plane
that isn’t on the ocean floor would eventually be carried by currents to the east
coast of Africa.
Australian Transport Minister Darren
Chester reiterated that opinion Thursday, saying the location of the debris in
Mozambique matches investigators’
drift modeling and would therefore confirm that search crews are looking in the
right part of the Indian Ocean for the
main underwater wreckage.
Malaysian Transport Minister Liow
Tiong Lai also said the location of the
debris lined up with investigators’ predictions.
People who have handled the part,
called a horizontal stabilizer, say it appears to be made of fiberglass composite on the outside, with aluminum
honeycombing on the inside, the U.S.
official said.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon
lawmakers have given final approval to pioneering legislation
that will eliminate coal from the
state’s energy supply by 2030
and provide half of customers’
power with renewable sources by
2040.
The measure passed by the Oregon Senate Wednesday underscores a leadership role on
environmental issues the state
has staked out over the years.
The state House of Representatives approved the bill Tuesday.
It makes Oregon the first state
to eliminate coal by legislative
action, and places it among a
handful of other states with renewable energy standards 50 percent or higher.
Gov. Kate Brown seemed to in-
dicate in a statement she would
sign the bill.
She said it “equips Oregon with
a bold and progressive path towards the energy resource mix of
the future.”
Environmentalists and clean energy groups tout the proposal as
one of the strongest pieces of
pro-climate legislation the U.S.
has seen in years.

O’Malley, a spokesman for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
“We’re aware of these reports that debris has been found in Mozambique,”
O’Malley said. “We’re working with officials in Mozambique and Malaysia to
investigate.”
Australia will work with Malaysian investigators to examine the object once
it arrives in Australia, he said. The
ATSB hasn’t made any determinations
yet about the potential origins of the debris.
“We have to wait until we have the actual debris examined,” O’Malley said.
“We’re not going to draw conclusions
from the photos.”
Some have expressed skepticism that
the part could be from the missing aircraft because it appears to be remarkably clean and free of sea life — unlike
the barnacle-encrusted wing part that
washed ashore on the French island of
Reunion last year.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which is running the search for the

be transported to Australia for examination.
Malaysian representatives from the nation’s Civil Aviation department and

From the pictures shown, it’s high
probability that the plane debris is from

He did not know how long it would be
before the part was sent to Australia.
Meanwhile, authorities in Mozambique
were combing the area where it was
found to search for other potential debris, Liow said.

Medley stings Livingston
with OT buzzer-beater
Lady Bees top Lady
Wildcats in Region
4-AA finals

Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN

Upperman’s Abby Greenwood (23) and Lexie Strickland (second
from right) congratulate Ashlyn Medley (22) after her game-winning
3-pointer in the Lady Bees’ 52-49 victory in overtime against Livingston Academy in the Region 4-AA girls championship on
Wednesday at the Hooper Eblen Center.
COOKEVILLE — With one clutch 3pointer by Ashlyn Medley, the Upperman
girls took one giant leap toward clinching
their first state tournament appearance
since 2008.
In a classic matchup that featured it all,
Medley’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer from
the deep left arc lifted the No. 4-ranked
Lady Bees to a 52-49, overtime victory
over No. 9 Livingston Academy at Tennessee Tech’s Hooper Eblen Center.
“I wasn’t that nervous,” Medley said regarding her game-winner. “You’ve just
gotta do what you’ve gotta do. It felt (like
it would be) good when I shot it.”
Lady Bees head coach Dana
McWilliams added, “I couldn’t be
prouder for Ashlyn. She been such a good

leader – all three of our seniors have –
and for her to make that shot was something special.”
With the win, Upperman (32-2) will
host Sequoyah (18-14) on Saturday at 7
p.m. in the sectional round.
“We don’t know a whole lot about
them,” McWilliams said of the Lady
Chiefs. “We’re gonna get to work (Thursday).”
Medley added, “Coach will get us ready,
and we’ll come out and play hard and
hopefully get another victory.”
LA, meanwhile, will travel to No. 2ranked McMinn Central (29-2). MCHS
has proven to be a difficult venue to win
at through the years, but LA head coach
Lesley Riddle is hoping to draw from the
experience of her team’s 54-45 road victory over the Chargerettes in the 2007
sectional.
“I told them, ‘There’s not a whole lot of
teams that go to McMinn Central and
win. But we have, and we can,’” Riddle
said. “And I don’t know if it’s good or
bad, but the way Upperman plays and the
way McMinn Central plays are very similar.
“You would think it’s bad because Upperman’s beaten us (four) times this season and McMinn Central’s gonna play the
same way,” Riddle continued. “But
maybe it has better prepared us for it. I
don’t know, but that’s what we’re hoping.”
Medley buried five 3-pointers and led
the Lady Bees with 15 points as she was
named tournament most valuable player.
Akira Levy (13 points, 5 assists), Abby
Greenwood (10 points, 4 steals), Gracie
Maynord (8 points, 3 steals) and Lexie
Strickland (2 points, 13 rebounds) were
also named to the all-tournament team.
“It feels good to win,” Medley said. “It
was a really hard game. Livingston
played insanely good. We worked really
hard for that.”
Keelie Lamb led Livingston (24-10)
with 19 points and grabbed five rebounds.
Mikala Brown added 13 points, Jaci Baltimore chipped in eight and Kellsey Ray
scored five. All four were named to the
all-tournament team.

TENNESSEE TECH MEN’S BASKETBALL
One and done
By BUDDY PEARSON
HERALD-CITIZEN Managing Editor
LIVINGSTON — The Pickett
County Lady Bobcats made winning
the Region 4-A Tournament championship look easy. Maybe that’s because it was.
Pickett County drained 10 3-pointers
in blasting the Jackson County Lady
Blue Devils 61-20 on Wednesday night
at Livingston Academy in claiming the
Region 4-A tournament crown.
“I never dreamed it to be honest,”
said PCHS head coach Brent Smith
about his easy victory. “We just came
out ready to go. We got some loose
balls and got things going our way and
put the hammer down.”
The win was the fourth and most lopsided over Jackson County this season,
just nine days after the Lady Bobcats
struggled to down the Lady Blue Devils in the district championship.
“We hadn’t played well the last two
games, but I was really pleased with
the way we played Pickett in the (district) finals,” said Jackson County head
coach Jim Brown. “I thought we might
learn a little from it and even have a
shot to win tonight. We were never in
it.”
After downing Red Boiling Springs
and Clay County to advance to the region title game, the Lady Blue Devils
struggled mightily against Pickett
County. Missed shots and breakdowns
on defense left JCHS helpless against
the Lady Bobcats.
“You have to give Pickett County a
lot of credit. They have a good team,”
said Brown. “We just didn’t play very
well. I don’t know we did anything
very well. There’s not much to say. I
don’t think we could have played any
worse.”
Jackson County (22-6) scored the
first point of the game on a McKenzie
Flynn free throw. That’s the only lead

Wednesday at Livingston Academy in the Region 4-A girls
championship.
NASHVILLE — Tennessee Tech head coach Steve
Payne said multiple times that the Golden Eagle men
had to win on Wednesday to make it to Saturday.
Unfortuately for Tech, Austin Peay’s Chris Horton
wanted to make it there too.
Horton scored 37 points and had 21 rebounds — both
career highs — as Austin Peay blasted the Golden Eagles 92-72 in Wednesday’s first round of the Ohio Valley Conference tournament at Municipal Auditorium.
Now the Golden Eagles have to wait and see as to
whether their season will continue in either the College Basketball Invitational, the CollegeInsider.com
Tournament, or if it has indeed met its end.
“I’m pretty sure we will (get a bid),” said Payne. “I
really want to go back and let these
guys have a night and we’ll talk tomorrow. I’m pretty sure we will.
With 19 wins and our RPI, I can’t
imagine us not. Our feedback is
pretty good. It’s just a tough thing
to talk about because these guys
don’t want to talk about that right
Men’s
now. I’d be surprised if we didn’t. I
Basketball want to keep playing, but I’ll talk to
them.
“Obviously, we didn’t finish the last two weeks the
way we wanted to. As long as we’ve played all season
long, I’d like to go with them a little more. These
guys have made Tennessee Tech’s basketball culture
what it needs to be and I enjoy being around them
every day, whatever day that is or whatever we decide
to do. I’d be all for playing, but these guys have to
make their minds up. But these guys don’t — and I
don’t — want to talk about it right now.”
The Governors, who squeaked into the field as the
No. 8-seed, came into the tournament with the same
mindset as the Golden Eagles.
And with Horton carrying the weight, Austin Peay
(15-17) seemed destined to succeed.
“We were not going back to Clarksville (Wednesday),” Horton said. “I wanted to show everybody why
we deserved to be here.”
Horton, who was an all-OVC first-team selection —
and was in the conversation for Player of the Year before the honor went to Belmont’s Evan Bradds — was
just six points away from setting the single-game
OVC tournament scoring record of 43, set by fellow
Governor Bubba Wells in 1997.

4-AA: LA turned

From Page B1
bounding effort with 10.
“I think our kids left it all on the
floor,” Riddle said. “They gave
everything they had until the end.”
Medley’s game-winner came after
the Lady Wildcats had tied the game
at 49-49 when Jaci Baltimore made
a pair of free throws with 1:38 remaining. From there, the Lady Bees
held the ball the rest of the way to
set the stage for the epic finish.
Riddle was proud of her defensive
for forcing the tough look that Upperman ultimately took advantage
of.
“That’s not a great look (for most
players) to force a team to hit a deep
3 at the buzzer,” Riddle said. “It is
for Ashlyn Medley, obviously. I was
sitting there, and I saw it was right
on target. I was just hoping it would
be short, but it was a great play.”
Early in overtime, Upperman appeared to have been dealt a serious
blow as Miss Basketball finalist
Levy fouled out. But LA missed the
front end of a one-and-one situation,
and the Lady Bees proceeded to
hold the ball for nearly two minutes.
After avoiding a few trap attempts
by the Lady Wildcats, Upperman
got the ball to Greenwood, who
drove to the right for a basket that
made it 49-47 with two minutes remaining.
“We had our backs against the wall
with Akira fouling out, but the team
just stepped up,” McWilliams said.
“And what a great game for both
teams. Livingston, I’ve got so much
respect for them as a program and
the job that Lesley does. We knew
we were gonna be in for a fight.”
The Lady Bees nearly won it in
regulation with a last-second desperation shot. After holding the ball
for the final 1:07, they were unable
to get a shot off before getting a
timeout with just half a second remaining.
On the ensuing inbound, Levy
zipped a pass to Greenwood, who
had to twist sideways as she hoisted
a spinning jumper that rattled out at
the buzzer.
“Akira made a fantastic pass, and
Abby made a great catch,”
McWilliams said. “It just didn’t go
in. It was one of those things.”
Upperman appeared to be taking
the momentum midway through the
fourth quarter. After trailing 41-39,
the Lady Bees answered with a 5-0
spurt, taking a 42-41 lead with 4:43
left on Levy’s traditional three-point
play, and going ahead 44-41 soon
after when Levy made 1-of-2 at the
line.
However, LA bounced back with a
6-1 run of its own, taking a 47-45
lead with 1:37 left when Mikala
Brown made 1-of-2 at the charity
stripe. Greenwood tied the game at
47-47 on the next possession with

an inside bucket, and the Lady
Wildcats were whistled for a travel
to set up the frantic end of regulation.
For the game, the Lady Wildcats
turned the ball over 17 times.
“We had 18 in the district championship,” Riddle said. “Our goal was
to stay under 15. We knew we were
gonna turn it over some because
they force you to turn it over.”
LA trailed by as many as 10 points
(39-29) in the third quarter before
stringing together a 12-0 run that
stretched into the fourth quarter.
Brown’s 3-pointer from the right
corner tied the game at 39-39 early
in the fourth, and she followed with
a deep jumper that gave the Lady
Wildcats their first lead since early
in the third.
Upperman, meanwhile, overcame its own sizable deficit in the
third quarter. After Kellsey Ray
buried a 3-pointer to give LA a
27-21 advantage, the Lady Bees
reeled off a 16-0 run that was
capped by a Greenwood traditional three-point play with 4:20
left in the frame. Not long after, a
Levy bucket gave Upperman its
largest lead at 39-29.
“Upperman does a great job of
making those runs and jumping on
you,” Riddle said. “We even took
two timeouts to try to stop it and
still didn’t. The ball finally bounced
the right way and we scored, and we
got back into it.”
However, McWilliams never felt
safe about the lead.
“You can never feel safe against a
team like Livingston,” she said.
“They’re so well-coached and they
know how to play, so they’re not
gonna get rattled. It was nice to get
the lead, but we knew they were
gonna make a run at us.”
Lamb spearheaded the LA rally,
scoring the last seven points of the
quarter, including a 3-pointer from
the top of the key with 1:30 left to
make it 39-36 heading into the
fourth.
The first half was a back-and-forth
affair, with Upperman jumping out
to a 5-0 lead before seeing Livingston responded with a 14-5 run
of its own.
The Lady Bees chipped away and
took a 21-20 advantage on Medley’s
3-pointer with 2:05 left. However,
LA scored the last four points of the
frame, including Lamb’s driving
basket with two seconds remaining
that made it 24-21 at the break.
Jimenez roughed up for 6
runs, Orioles fall to Braves
SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez allowed
six runs while retiring just one batter in the first inning
as the Baltimore Orioles lost to the Atlanta Braves 114 on Wednesday.
Jimenez, who won 12 games to lead the team in 2015,
gave up three hits and walked three
before being lifted.
The Braves scored another run off
Odrisamer Despaigne in the first and
another in the second to take an 8-0
lead.
“He got his pitches in. We were hoping to go get two out of him. He just happened to get
his pitch count in in one inning — actually a third of
an inning,” manager Buck Showalter said.
“The one I’m interested in is his first start in Baltimore. That’s when it starts.”
Atlanta rookie Mallex Smith had four extra-base hits
— two triples in the first, a home run in the fifth and a
double in the seventh.
The Orioles scored four runs in the second off Aaron
Blair, who is competing for one of Atlanta’s final starting spots. Chris Davis hit a long home run to center and
Jonathan Schoop had a two-run shot to left.
STARTING TIME
Braves: Blair pitched a perfect first and allowed four
runs in the second.
“You want every inning to be like the first inning,”
Blair said.
He watched while 12 batters came to the first and
staked him to a quick 7-0 lead.
“That was a long inning. I think I got up two or three
different times to stay stretched,” he said.
Davis’ home run was hit far beyond the center field
fence.
“If I execute my pitch, that doesn’t happen,” Blair
said. “To a guy with that kind of power, that ends up a
long, long way away.”
Orioles: Jimenez didn’t feel badly about his start even
though his line wasn’t very good. “It doesn’t look
pretty at all, but I think I feel good because my arm
feels really good. I was able to work on the things I
wanted to,” he said.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves: SS Dansby Swanson, the overall No. 1 draft
pick last year, who was traded to Atlanta by Arizona
along with Blair and OF Ender Inciarte for Shelby
Miller, played one day after being ill. He was hitless in
five at-bats.
“It’s one of those one-day things, and he’s fine. I
checked him today, and he’s good to go,” manager
Fredi Gonzalez said.
Orioles: OF Nolan Reimold was the designated hitter
to rest his sore shoulder. Mark Trumbo played right
field.
“With the shoulder he had last year, we’re taking it
real slow with him, but I want him to get his at-bats.
He’s throwing and doing some things. I want to get
ahead of it. It’s an opportunity, and I want them both
to get at-bats today. One of them is going to DH and
one of them is going to play right field,” Showalter
said.
Showalter said that RHP Chris Tillman, who missed
Sunday’s intrasquad game with a strain in his right hip
flexor, had a cortisone injection on Tuesday and feels
strong enough to start next week.
UP NEXT
Braves: Atlanta and Sean Newcomb host Detroit and

Orioles: Travel to Port Charlotte to play the Rays.

pitch.
Horton was 13-for-16 from the field and
11-for-18 at the free-throw line.
The win was Austin Peay’s first win in the
OVC Tournament since 2011 after missing
the event three straight years.
Tech, meanwhile, stands at 19-11 on the
season.
“I want to thank our seniors and what they
have done for Tennessee Tech basketball,”
Payne said. “We have had a heck of a year.
It is always tough at this time of year. I
don’t think you ever know how you are
going to come out during tournament play.
It affects teams in different ways and we
didn’t handle the tournament situation very
well. We could never put enough good possessions on both ends to make a really good
run. I thought we fought and was pleased
with how we fought and played the game
the right way.”
Foul trouble, however, did not help the
Golden Eagles.
Mason Ramsey fouled out, while Ryan
Martin, Anthony Morse and Courtney
Alexander each had four and Shirmane
Thomas, Hakeem Rogers and Savonte Frazier each had three.
There’s no question that it impacted Tech
as the Golden Eagles had to keep rotating
around its big men to keep them in the
game, to no avail.
“The biggest impact in the game was our
foul trouble,” Payne said. “It played on our
minds, especially in the post. We have
Mason, who has been scoring very well,
and he’s in foul trouble. If we hit shots like
we normally hit, then we withstand the
foul trouble. And it affected us more defensively. It made us really soft on defense.”
And Tech wasn’t hitting those shots.
Aleksa Jugovic was 0-for-10 from the
field, scoring his three points from the freethrow line. Torrance Rowe was 6-for-18,
still leading the Golden Eagles with 18
points.
Tech attempted 29 3-point shots, knocking
down five, including three from Rogers.
The second half saw the Golden Eagles go
1-for-16 from long range.
But the rebound margin was squarely in
the Governors’ favor as Peay won that battle 45-32. Morse led Tech with eight boards.
Chris Porter-Bunton also scored 12 points
for the Governors, while Josh Robinson
added 11.

got a chance to play.”
Buck finished with 17 points to lead all
scorers while McLellan, who was named
the tournament MVP, had 13 points with
Jayna Ferrell adding 10.
“I’m honored and surprised, actually,”
said McLellan about being named MVP. “I
thought my girl Jayna (Ferrell) would get
it. She was fantastic. I’m thankful, though.”
Pickett County, because of postseason
sanctions handed out by the TSSAA two
years ago regarding an incident during a
boys game against York Institute, has to
travel to Region 3A runner-up Boyd
Buchanan for a sectional matchup on Saturday night.
“I know they have a good post player who
signed at Belmont,” said Smith. “Other than
they have a good post player, I know we
have to go to Chattanooga and that’s about
it.”
Meanwhile, Jackson County remains alive
with a berth in the sectional as well. The
Lady Blue Devils venture to Spencer to
take on Region 3A champ Van Buren
County on Saturday at 7 p.m. JCHS defeated VBHS twice during the regular season, wining 62-44 in Gainesboro and 62-50
in Spencer.
“The biggest thing is we are still alive and
we play Saturday night. We have to put this
behind us and regroup and get ready for
that,” said Brown. “We beat them twice
during the year. They have a great environment and they will be tough to beat at
home. We have to go there and try to get a
win.”

Conley scores 24, leads Grizzlies past Kings
By CLAY BAILEY
Associated Press
MEMPHIS (AP) — With the Sacramento Kings chipping away at Memphis’ lead, the Grizzlies’ Mike Conley
decided it was time to kick his offense
in gear.
Conley scored 10 of his 24 points in the
fourth quarter as Memphis avoided
squandering a big firsthalf lead, defeating the
Kings 104-98 on
Wednesday night.
“The game got a little
tight in the fourth, and
I decided just to look
for my offense a little more,” said Conley, who also had five assists and shot 9
of 12, including converting all three attempts from 3-point range.
Conley’s burst allowed the Grizzlies to
win their second straight and sixth in the
last eight. Zach Randolph finished with
19 points and eight rebounds for Memphis, while JaMychal Green and Mario
Chalmers scored 15 apiece — a career
best for Green.
“That was a good game for us,” Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. “It was
kind of a crazy game.”
That sentiment came from Memphis
building a 21-point advantage in the first
half en route to a 59-43 halftime lead —

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chris Andersen (7) drives against Sacramento Kings center Kosta Koufos (41) during the second half on
Wednesday in Memphis. The Grizzlies won 104-98.
and then seeing the Kings steadily cut
into the margin before eventually overtaking the Grizzlies in the fourth.
Marco Belinelli had 16 points, including 11 in the fourth, to help the Kings
eventually erase the deficit. His 3pointer with 9:32 remaining tied the
game at 85. Sacramento took the lead
about a minute later on a dunk by DeMarcus Cousins, who would lead the
Kings with 18 points and 16 rebounds.
The teams then exchanged leads and
were tied at 91 with just under 5 minutes
left when Memphis went on a 7-0 run to
take a lead the Grizzlies would not relinquish.
“We kind of put ourselves in a hole and
spent a lot of energy (erasing the lead),”
Cousins said. “We’ve got to find a way
to — if we’re going to be in a close
game — let it be a close game throughout and then we make that late push, instead of our late push being us getting
back in the game.”
Darren Collison added 17 points, Omri
Casspi scored 12 points and Quincy Acy
had 11 for the Kings. Rajon Rondo had
17 assists.
“We just have to be aware and show urgency from the beginning of the game,”
Cousins said, “and not when somebody
lights a flame under our (butts).”
TIP-INS
Kings: Rudy Gay, Sacramento’s second-leading scorer averaging 18 points,
missed his second consecutive game
with a sprained right shoulder. Gay
started his career with Memphis, playing
six-plus seasons for the Grizzlies. ...
Cousins recorded his 35th double-double of the season. ... Rondo’s assists
were three short of his season-high 20,
which is also the best in the league this
season.
Grizzlies: Memphis signed C/F Ryan
Hollins earlier in the day. Hollins previously was with the team this season on
a pair of 10-day contracts. ... G Tony
Allen missed his sixth straight game
with a sore left knee. ... Rookie Jarell
Martin, playing in his fifth game of the
season, grabbed eight rebounds. ...
Memphis has won 12 straight home
games in the series, with the last Kings
win at FedExForum coming on Feb. 20,
2009.
THEY CALL HIM MR. THIBS
Former Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau is spending time with Karl and
the Kings. Karl wants Thibodeau to
help him see things defensively, and
Thibodeau may get tips offensively
from the Kings. “You always kind of
like to see somebody else’s eyes on
your product,” Karl said. “You kind of
get tainted by the anger and the frustration and the losing. You don’t always
see the good.”
LITTLE DIFFERENT; LITTLE BIT
THE SAME
Memphis is a different team with recent trades and injuries, including the
loss of center Marc Gasol with a broken
foot. But Karl said there are some things
that haven’t changed. “My issue, being
in Memphis, is you don’t win here unless you are a little dirty, a little gritty
and a little physical,” he said.

Spurs clinch 19th straight playoff berth
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Kawhi Leonard scored
27 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 23 as the
San Antonio Spurs beat the Detroit Pistons 97-81 on
Wednesday night to clinch their 19th straight playoff
berth.
San Antonio (51-9) won its 29th straight home
game to open the season in its first game following a
monthlong road trip brought on by the San Antonio
Stock Show and Rodeo.
San Antonio joins Golden State as the only teams
to clinch spots in the postseason.
Leonard and Aldridge excelled against a Detroit
team thinned by injuries to forwards Anthony Tolliver and Stanley Johnson. Aldridge added 10 rebounds and Leonard had six rebounds and five assists
for San Antonio, which has won six straight.
CLIPPERS 103, THUNDER 98
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Oklahoma City
Thunder took the court hours after the death of partowner Aubrey McClendon and squandered a 22point lead in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Chris Paul had 21 points and 13 assists for Los Angeles, and DeAndre Jordan had 20 points and 18 rebounds. The Clippers ended the game with a stunning
26-5 run after trailing by 16 with 7:30 left. The Thunder had only one field goal during that stretch.
It was the largest comeback victory of the season
for the Clippers, who reached the 40-win mark for
the fifth year in a row.
Kevin Durant scored 30 points and Russell Westbrook had 24 points and 12 assists for Oklahoma City
in the first of three meetings this month between the
Western Conference contenders.
McClendon, 56, was killed slamming his sport utility vehicle into a concrete bridge embankment in
Oklahoma City shortly after 9 a.m. local time. The
crash occurred one day after he was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly conspiring to rig bids to
buy oil and natural gas leases in northwest Oklahoma
while he was CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corp.
In a statement released Tuesday after the indictment, McClendon denied violating antitrust laws and
said he would fight to prove his innocence and clear
his name.
It was the second deadly crash connected to the
Thunder organization in three weeks. On Feb. 10, Ingrid Williams, the 44-year-old wife of assistant coach
Monty Williams, was killed in a head-on collision
just outside Oklahoma City.

leans.
The Rockets went 3 of 34 on 3-point attempts and
committed 21 turnovers but were able to rally past
New Orleans thanks to an off night from Pelicans star
Anthony Davis.
With their horrendous shooting performance, Houston became the first team in NBA history to make
fewer than four 3s on 30 or more attempts.
But on the 34th attempt, Houston point guard
Patrick Beverley delivered the most important shot
of the game, a 3-pointer from the corner that gave the
Rockets a lead with less than a minute remaining.
NUGGETS 117, LAKERS 107
DENVER (AP) — D.J. Augustin scored 22 of his
26 points in the fourth quarter to lead six Denver
players in double figures, and the Nuggets beat Los
Angeles in Kobe Bryant’s final game at the Pepsi
Center.
Emmanuel Mudiay added 22 points and the
Nuggets used a 10-0 run midway through the final
quarter to gain some separation.
Bryant finished with five points and didn’t play in
the second half because of a sore right shoulder. Fans
kept chanting “We want Kobe” as he sat on the bench
with a wrap on his shoulder.
The Nuggets honored Bryant with a video tribute
during a timeout in the first quarter.
RAPTORS 104, JAZZ 94
TORONTO (AP) — Kyle Lowry scored 32 points,
DeMar DeRozan added 31 and Toronto beat Utah for
a club-record 11th straight home win.
Lowry, who had a career-high 43 points in a victory
over Cleveland on Friday night before being rested
Sunday in a loss at Detroit, added five assists and four
rebounds. Toronto (40-19) led the entire second half
on the way to its fifth win in six games.
MAGIC 102, BULLS 89
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Nikola Vucevic scored
24 points, rookie Mario Hezonja added a career-high
21, and Orlando beat Chicago.
Victor Oladipo scored 17 points and Aaron Gordon
had 13 points and 15 rebounds as Orlando coasted to an
easy win. Elfrid Payton had nine points and 12 assists.
Derrick Rose led Chicago with 16 points, all in the
first half. Pau Gasol had 12 points and Doug McDermott was the only other Bulls player in double figures
with 11.
WIZARDS 104, TIMBERWOLVES 98
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Bradley Beal scored 26
points and Alan Anderson added 18 to lead Washington to a fourth straight victory.
John Wall had 14 points and 12 assists, and Beal
and Anderson led a Wizards bench that outscored
Minnesota’s second unit 64-18. Washington shot 50
percent, hit 11 of 29 3-pointers and scored 50 points
in the paint to overcome 17 turnovers.

in his Ducks debut, Jakob Silfverberg got the only
goal in the shootout, and Anaheim beat the Montreal
Canadiens 3-2 on Wednesday night for its ninth consecutive victory.
Corey Perry scored the tying power-play goal with
9:09 to play for the Ducks, who have won 18 of 21
to streak into a first-place tie with Los Angeles atop
the Pacific Division.
John Gibson stopped 25 shots and all three Montreal
shootout attempts with relative ease.
Alex Galchenyuk scored two goals and Mike Condon made 32 saves for the Canadiens, who lost their
second straight to open a West Coast road trip.
CAPITALS 3, MAPLE LEAFS 2
WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Niskanen and the
NHL’s top power play unit cashed in as the Washington Capitals outlasted the youthful and overmatched
Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Capitals reached 98 points for the season and
matched the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings for the most
victories through 63 games with 47. The Maple Leafs
remained in last place in the league with 52 points.
Niskanen’s winner came after Washington relinquished a 2-0 lead built on goals by Taylor Chorney
and Alex Ovechkin. Nikita Soshnikov scored his first
NHL goal, and Colin Greening scored his second of
the season for the Maple Leafs.
BLACKHAWKS 5, RED WINGS 2
DETROIT (AP) — Patrick Kane had a goal and an
assist 1:24 apart on power plays in the second period,
and Artemi Panarin scored twice to help the Chicago

NHL-leading total to 88 to match his career high set
during the 2009-10 season.

through the third period when Brad Richards scored.

third period in his second game back with the Blackhawks. Panarin scored his second goal 35 seconds
later. Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP)
— Bryn Forbes scored a career-high 33 points, hitting a
conference record 11 3pointers, and No. 2 Michigan
State woke up in the second
half to rout Rutgers 97-66 on
Wednesday night, handing
the Scarlet Knights their 17th
straight loss.
Eron Harris added 15
points, Denzel Valentine 14
for Spartans (25-5, 12-5 Big
Ten), who made 16 3-pointers in winning their fifth
straight game and ninth in
10. Matt Costello had 10
points and matched his career-best with 15 rebounds.
Forbes’ 11th 3-pointer
broke the single-game record
of 10 set by John Diebler of
Ohio State against Penn State
in 2011.
If Michigan State beats
Ohio State on Saturday in its
regular-season finale it will
earn a double bye in the conference’s upcoming tournament and the No. 2 seed.
Corey Sanders, who was returning from a four-game
suspension, had 19 points for
Rutgers (6-23, 0-17).

points, Sheldon McClellan
added 17 and No. 7 Miami
jumped to an early 18-point
lead and beat Notre Dame to
move back into a tie with
North Carolina for first-place
in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Hurricanes (24-5, 13-4)
held the Fighting Irish (1910, 10-7) to a season-low 34
percent shooting as Notre
Dame struggled offensively
for the fourth straight game,
losing three of those. The
Hurricanes also had an 39-16
advantage in rebounds and a
32-24 edge in points in the
paint.
Zach Auguste led the Irish
with 18 points and 11 rebounds and Bonzie Colson
add 11 points.

21-3 lead early and never let
the Irish get any closer than
seven points.

UCLA 68

of the Pac-12 title for the first
time since 2002.
Dillon Brooks added 15
points, and Elgin Cook had
14 points, making all six of
his free throws for the Ducks
(24-6, 13-4 Pac-12), who
won their fourth in a row and
10th in 12 games. Dorsey
had a team-high nine rebounds, helping the Ducks
control the boards, 40-28.
Isaac Hamilton scored 19
points, Tony Parker added
18, and Bryce Alford 16
points for the Bruins (15-15,
6-11). They have lost three
straight and six of eight with

regular season.
No. 10 WEST VIRGINIA
90, TEXAS TECH 68
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(AP) — Senior Jaysean
Paige and Daxter Miles Jr.
each scored 15 points and
No. 10 West Virginia closed
out its home regular season
on senior night by trouncing
Texas Tech.

with fellow seniors Jonathan
Holton and Richard Romeo
III. He connected on 7 of 15
field goals, grabbed five rebounds and had five assists.

them in sole possession of
second place in the Big 12
with a game to go at No. 19
Baylor Saturday.
Justin Gray’s 15 points and
Aaron Ross’ 14 led the Red
Raiders (18-11, 8-9).

Appeals court to hear oral arguments in ‘Deflategate’ case
NEW YORK (AP) — NFL union
lawyers who want New England
quarterback Tom Brady to put “Deflategate” behind him for good are
ready to make their pitch to three
federal appeals judges in New
York.
NFL lawyers are
asking the 2nd U.S.
Circuit Court of
Appeals in Manhattan on Thursday
to reinstate a fourgame suspension
the league handed Brady. They said
a lower court was wrong to rule in
September that the penalty could be
lifted because the league bungled a
probe of deflated footballs at the
AFC Championship game in January
2015.
If the league wins, Brady may have
to sit out the start of the upcoming
season. If the union wins, it is likely
he will play. Either way, the case is
likely to be cited in labor law for
years to come.
A ruling, unlikely for months, may
hinge on obscure points of contract
law that sports fans may find less interesting than the drama that has unfolded within the controversy.
In court papers, NFL attorneys
have called U.S. District Judge
Richard Berman’s decision “inexplicable.”
In their filings, NFL Players Association lawyers said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was making a
“sweeping grab for power” when he
upheld the four-game suspension in
July.
Neither Goodell nor Brady will be
in court Thursday.

behind him for good are ready to make their pitch to a New York
appeals court in Manhattan on Thursday.
