Assistant veterans commissioner assures cemetery committee, encourages fundraising By LINDSAY McREYNOLDS HERALD-CITIZEN Staff UPPER CUMBERLAND — Although members of a veterans cemetery steering committee expressed frustration on Friday about the lack of a site on which to build a veterans cemetery in the Upper Cumberland, the assistant commissioner of Tennessee Veterans Services assured the group that the project is still moving forward and encouraged fundraising efforts. “It’s still going to happen,” Tennessee Veterans Services Assistant Commissioner Lorenza Wills told members of the Upper Cumberland Veterans Cemetery Steering Committee. “When? I don’t know. We’re in the process of selecting land. I know a lot of people are frustrated. My message to you from the commissioner is ‘Keep fundraising, guys.’” Wills said the state is looking at five or six properties in the Upper Cumberland area, and some of the land being considered for a cemetery is in the Monterey area near Exit 290 off Interstate 40. But no specific addresses were announced on Friday. Wills said that when the state narrows it down to one or two properties, he would notify the steering committee so that they could view those. Including money collected during Friday’s meeting, the committee has raised more than $60,000 from local governments and private donations, many collected from canisters at various businesses in the 14-county Upper Cumberland region the cemetery would serve. By comparison, a group working to establish a veterans cemetery in West Ten- nessee at Parkers Crossroads, raised $313,595 after a couple of years of fundraising, and the state provided a portion of the funds for the group to purchase property for a veterans cemetery there in 2014. Donna Fare of White County, who was elected as the new chairperson of the committee on Friday, talked about one possible way to fundraise for the cemetery is establishing a memory garden with engraved stones or blocks, similar to what’s in the veterans park in White County across from the courthouse. Veterans cemetery committee secretary Al Klee suggested that group members talk to their county budget officials now about giving to the cemetery as they are in the process of preparing budgets for the next fiscal year that begins July 1. Tennessee has two national veterans cemeteries in Nashville and Chattanooga, along with three state veterans cemeteries in Nashville, Knoxville and Memphis. Tennessee Veterans Services Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder has said her department’s goal is to establish a state veterans cemetery within 75 miles of the veteran population. Approximately 25,000 veterans reside in the 14-county Upper Cumberland region. Those who wish to donate to a veterans cemetery may make checks payable to the Military Officers Association of America and send to 197 Ivy Brook Lane, Crossville, TN 38555. The next meeting of the committee is Friday, May 6, at 9 a.m. at the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency on South Jefferson Avenue in Cookeville. ABUSE: Raising awareness during month of April From Page A1 them are so drug addicted. Some people say, ‘Well, they just need to quit doing that.’ But these people are so ravaged by drugs and alcohol. A lot of it is the environment they’ve been brought up it. It’s really sad to see that and to know what those kids are living through.” However, Qualls does see positive outcomes as well. For some parents, being reported for child abuse or neglect is just the wake up call that they need to get themselves help, even if they don’t see it in that light at first. “I had a gentleman not long ago who went to in-patient treatment,” Qualls said. “He was there for 60 days and was going to be there for another 60 days. Ty Kernea | Herald-Citizen And the clerk turned to me and Judge Steve Qualls looks through some files on cases of child abuse that have been re- said, ‘It’s amazing how much difported this year. ferent he looks and how his atti- tude has changed.’ It seems like a lot of these people who are able to go to long-term programs, they really turn it around with a much higher success rate. It’s really neat to see that.” Anyone who suspects child abuse is going on should call the hotline at Child Abuse Hotline 1877-237-0004 or visit https://apps.tn.gov/carat/. “A lot of times people have friends or family and they just don’t want to say anything.They say, ‘I don’t want to be the one to get them in trouble.’ But that just causes things to get worse, and that’s putting a child at risk,” Qualls said. “If somebody knows something, they need to report it. They can report it to the hotline and their name will never be used. Even in court proceedings, if the case worker is asked who called, they can’t and won’t disclose that.” FOCUS: Oldham proactive in communicating with campus From Page A1 islative review and may still be amended and even rejected, would — if approved — go into effect with a 16- to 18-month transition period beginning July 1. But in a field not historically known for making quick changes, this proposal is almost overwhelming, some faculty members say. “It feels like a lot of change in a short amount of time,” Gruber said. Faculty representation And the plan’s threat to the concept of shared governance is illustrated by a lack or shortage of faculty representation on the appointed transitional task force and proposed state university board, faculty say. Under the Tennessee Board of Regents, the universities’ current governing board, a faculty sub-council includes faculty representatives from both the two- and fouryear schools, which they say helps to foster unity and cooperation among the institutions. According to the current proposed plan for the FOCUS Act, each state university board would include only one faculty representative, who would serve a two-year term while other members, with the exception of a nonvoting student member, would serve rotating six-year terms. Such a configuration would cause the faculty to “lose much of its voice,” Gruber said. “It would reduce the influence of the people who actually deliver the goods,” she said, concerning the elimination of the TBR’s faculty sub-council and establishment of the state university board. “The faculty objects to being excluded in all stages of this process. We’re the higher education workforce,” she said. TTU President Philip Oldham and other proponents of the FOCUS Act say, on the contrary, the faculty voice has the potential to be heard even louder on each state university board because it will no longer be diluted by other institutions. Many faculty, however, seem to see unity where proponents of the act see dilution. Unity Among the concerns faculty have expressed to Gruber, she said, includes concern that the higher education pillars should work together. “It seems that higher education could be better served by having the community colleges and four-year universities continuing to work together,” she said. Other faculty have asked, with so much emphasis put on living and operating in a globalized world, why is Tennessee higher education now choosing instead to centralize? Although proponents say cooperation among higher education institutions will not be compromised by the establishment of state university boards, others say they fear it is a significant move from a student-centered approach to a business-centered concept. Business-centered And national trends, as presented in some higher education publications, seem to back up those fears. Howard Bunsis, national chair of AAUP’s Bargaining Congress, says in a recent article on the Truthout website that, across the country, higher education governing boards are more and more frequently made up of individuals from the private sector who have little to no experience in teaching and education. The problem, especially for public institutions, he says, is that higher education starts to be treated as a profit center instead of a public benefit. “What do business people know about academics?” Gruber iterated. She said she has heard concerns among the faculty that a governing board weighted with business people and private sector individuals will have difficulty distinguishing training from education. “Higher education is about more than just training future employees. Yes, we want graduates to be able to find jobs and establish careers, but we also want them to be well-rounded individuals with the power to think and act for themselves throughout life,” she said. Jon Jonakin, a professor emeritus of business from TTU, says he believes that public liberal arts institutions will be jeopardized by a business mentality if the FOCUS Act is ultimately approved. “There are a lot of disturbing aspects to this whole proposal, and I believe the uncertainty is intentional at this point. There just seems to be a lot of calculated ambiguity in a rush to get this proposal passed,” he said. But if the FOCUS Act is approved, will the state university board be made up of mostly community businesspeople? Proponents like Oldham say it will not. In addition to the nonvoting student member and the two-year faculty post, the board will include seven other positions. According to the current proposal, at least three of them must be alumni from the university — and Oldham says, at least at TTU, he will seek to get as broad of an alumni representation as possible. In addition, no more than three of the board members may live out-of-state, the proposal says. Those stipulations, however, appear to be the only defining boundaries for the membership of the state university board. Academic freedom Some faculty say they are concerned that the proposal may also challenge their academic freedom, a central tenet of higher education that allows faculty members — the experts in their fields — to create and guide their courses and curricula. They site a passage in the proposed FOCUS Act that says it will give the state university board the power to “prescribe curricula and requirements for diplomas and degrees.” But proponents say the TBR currently has that power over academic standards, and passage of the proposed act will do little to change day-to-day classroom activities. Will it also possibly change the administration or add costs to the university somehow? Cost of administration Some TTU faculty say they see the ninemember board as additional administrators at a university that is already deluged with administration. According to online statistics updated continually by the Chronicle of Higher Education, the average national salary for management at four-year public universities is around $101,500. The average salary for managers and administrators at TTU is $139,105. By TTU’s own record, the highest paid administrator at the university, whose job concerns research, earns a salary of $305,500, an amount that exceeds even President Oldham’s annual salary of $280,400. Of the six four-year universities in the state, only the University of Memphis pays its managers and administrators more than TTU, at an average of $148,211. Rather than comparing TTU to other state public institutions, however, some suggest that TTU’s salaries instead be compared to those of Georgia Tech and other such engineering and research universities across the nation. That suggestion infers TTU’s reputation as a major research institution, but a recent article from Inside Higher Ed notes the University of Memphis as “the only research university in the TBR system.” In spite of a multitude of concerns expressed by faculty about the proposed FOCUS Act, many say President Oldham has been more proactive in communicating with the TTU campus than presidents of other universities appear to have been. He has arranged meetings with each individual college within the university to address the topic. And the university has a website that addresses frequently asked questions about the proposed FOCUS Act and allows the campus and the public to ask their own questions.

Herald-Citizen Sunday, March 13, 2016 OPINION 4 Herald-Citizen The Daily Newspaper of the Upper Cumberland Established 1903 Mike DeLapp, Editor and Publisher Buddy Pearson, Managing Editor Are expired foods your future diet? I really should be prejudiced against this week’s topic, but I’m not. Back when I was around 11 years old, I marched into the local Kuhn’s Variety Store with my hard-earned coins and proudly purchased a box of popcorn-based Fiddle Faddle. When I got home and crammed a handful into my mouth, I soon discovered a ragtag band of weevils doing some dirty dancing on my tongue. To this day, I can still swear I heard a tiny voice taunting me Danny as I spit the Tyree snack out, “Nobody puts Baby in a wastebasket!” In spite of that childhood trauma, I was encouraged recently when CBS News and National Public Radio reported on WeFood, a nonprofit business in Copenhagen, Denmark selling food with past-due sell-by dates and damaged packaging for as much as half-off the price posted at regular stores. WeFood seeks to target both low-income consumers and environmentally conscious shoppers. WeFood is getting off to a good start, but many people worldwide still have a misunderstanding of “sell by” dates. The dates indicate when the product is at its peak, but they can be edible and nutritious much longer. It’s not like Cinderella’s carriage turning back into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight. If it were, Disney would already have trademarked the process and given us “Country Botulism Jamboree” rides and “High School Cafeteria Musical: Mystery Meat’s Last Legs” TV movies. Developments such as WeFood, Boston’s Daily Table membership-only supermarket and the Rockefeller Foundation’s $130 million YieldWise initiative should get us all fired up to fight food waste and feed the world’s undernourished. (According to the United Nations, one-third of all food produced around the world for human consumption is lost or wasted, even as nearly one billion people worldwide lack enough food to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.) We Americans are way too finicky about what we eat. I wouldn’t be surprised if a book club met to discuss “The Diary of Anne Frank,” and during snacktime someone lamented, “We’ve had to eat leftovers TWICE this month. Can you imagine anything worse?” Our mood swings make us keep cramming food farther and farther back into the recesses of the refrigerator. The fridge sometimes gets so bad that there’s a fight over the stuff growing in there and how many delegates it’s entitled to. We really need to get over our “Silly rabbit, Trix are for landfills” mentality and crack down on the wasteful morons who chuckle, “Guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach.” Let’s have them saying, “Guess your boot was bigger than my backside. Ouch!” Among the worst offenders are the mothers who take their youngsters to the head of the line at church socials or family reunions and pile their plate with stuff they’ll never eat. Ah, the miracle of mommas: they can feed the two with 5,000 loaves and fishes. Perhaps more restaurants and supermarkets can be convinced to overcome the logistical problems and get excess food to homeless shelters and food banks. Then they can re-fit their old techniques to dealing with politicians who have gone way past their shelf life. “Hey, somebody threw me in a dumpster and poured bleach on me! But, speaking as someone who has run four unsuccessful campaigns for dog catcher, I demand to share my two cents worth with the candidates of 2020. Ow, it burns!” Danny welcomes email responses at tyreetyrades@aol.com and visits to his Facebook fan page “Tyree’s Tyrades.” Our Legislators Sen.

Unfortunately it’s a force of nature, not of man. When the government has exerted force to raise the minimum wage by fiat outside of free markets, the result is immediate higher unemployment among minimum wage earners. When seat belts went into effect, the number of traffic accidents actually increased. Economist Sam Peltzman discovered that total fatalities were about the same as before the seat belt law. But while the death rate for motorists decreased, there was a higher death rate among pedestrians and cyclists hit by cars. Why? The seat belt gives drivers a false sense of extra security, encouraging them to drive more recklessly. This brings us to lawmakers who have decided that banning plastic grocery bags or nudging people away from using them by charging five or ten cents per bag will save the occasional sea turtle from eating one, thinking it’s a jellyfish. It’s a lovely thought, isn’t it? Supporters of these bills will cite thousands of bags menacing beaches and hyperopic fish. Good-hearted citizens will cheer and feel good about “doing something” to save the environment, then drive home past massive, mostly hidden graveyards of truck and car tires. La-de-dah. Depending upon your view, it’s either unfortunate or no big deal that there’s a direct correlation to banning plastic bags and the deaths of more than five people each year in a city the size of San Francisco. According to a study by two univer- sity professors, it’s actually 5.5 people in San Francisco who die each year as a direct result of the grocery plastic bag ban. For some people, that’s a fair trade for potentially, possibly, maybe saving a turtle. Rick San Francisco Jensen has been leading the fight against plastic bags. In 2007, the Environmental Department of the City of San Francisco reported plastics bags distributed by retail stores account for 0.6 percent of litter. Six tenths of one percent. A federal EPA study found plastic bags make up four tenths of one percent of our country’s municipal waste stream. Four tenths of one percent. Back in 2013, Ramesh Ponnuru noted news reports from around the country describing illnesses caused by reusable grocery bags. “A reusable grocery bag left in a hotel bathroom caused an outbreak of norovirus-induced diarrhea and nausea that struck nine of 13 members of a girls’ soccer team,” Ponnuru reported. “Researchers examined reusable bags in California and Arizona and found that 51 percent of them contained coliform bacteria.” The most extensive study seems to be that of University of Pennsylvania Professor Jonathan Klick and George Mason University Professor Joshua Wright. They found that as soon as the ban went into effect, emergency-room ad- missions related to E. coli infections increased in San Francisco. It’s their study that estimates the ban is directly responsible for a 46 percent increase in deaths from foodborne illnesses. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any study measuring the number of sea turtles saved per human death. The difference is that human deaths are preventable if humans would just wash and disinfect their reusable bags. 97 percent don’t. Huntington Beach, CA has rescinded their plastic bag ban, realizing it’s just “token environmentalism” with no real effect except more grocery store profits. One city council member said, “Our ordinance has not had any positive, measurable impact on the environment and has only caused headaches for citizens and small businesses alike.” Delaware is considering the ill-conceived notion of forcing grocery stores to charge five cents for every plastic bag distributed. The danger is in having citizens believe they’re doing something positive when the opposite is true, giving them a false sense of accomplishment or security, like gun buy-backs. Perhaps this is to be presumed in a state run by Democrats who think they’re so awesome that they have sponsored legislation extending their terms in the state house and state senate by two years. Americans who would actually like term limits, not extensions, are obviously not currently living the life of the electoral elite.

Nancy’s Reagan’s mission was her husband W hen we talk about marriage today, it’s usually in connection with breakups, wedding excess, or the victory of LGBT advocates. For many, traditional long-term unions are becoming as rare as a protest-free Oscars ceremony. Most of the marriages that have withstood the test of time are the ones in our family photo albums, hidden from the public glare of klieg lights. My grandparents had that sort of relationship, the 30 years of living together and raising a family and the remaining 17 of my grandmother’s widowhood when she never looked at another man. Her heart had space for only one soul mate. My parents repeated that history: 22 years together and then the 32 additional years my mother lived, not alone, but coupled with daddy’s spirit until her own death. My sister’s best friend’s mother and her husband had decades together, a half-century, and are together again with God. The few public faces that we have of true marital devotion - Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, George and Barbara Bush - belong to another era. That’s what I thought of when I learned that Nancy Reagan had died. Actually, my first thought - and I’m sure many others join me - was that Nancy and her Ronnie were together again. I also thought that this is as joyous for her as it is mournful for us. Nancy was the first lady of my young adulthood. Christine She ushered in my Flowers political awakening, as I realized for the first time that I was a Democrat in name only. She also taught me the power of the color red. And, for the first time, I saw reflected in her adoration for Ronald Reagan the same dynamic that was at play in the marriages I knew of personally. Yes, I knew children of divorced parents. One of my relatives on my mother’s side was twice divorced; another two or three on my Dad’s side were also on their second relationships. But the people closest to me had been lucky enough to find the answer to their search early on in their lives, and I was a beneficiary of that. Ironically, Nancy was Reagan’s second wife, but if it weren’t for the fact that his first was an Oscar-winning movie star whose career surpassed his own, we’d remember only this second, enduring union. Nancy Reagan wasn’t big on policy. Her unfortunate “Just Say No” campaign oversimplified the scourge of addiction. Her real mission was her husband. She adored him with the kind of zeal that evangelicals reserve for God, and I do think Ronnie was her church, her true north, her faith. The look in her eyes when she gazed upon him was something out of those old Mass cards I used to collect as a child, with the heavenward gaze of saints. Some have written obituaries in other terms. They’ve said there is something wrong in turning your life over to your mate, and that a woman’s highest calling is to herself. We’ll just disagree on that, because I believe that our engagement and concern for others far exceeds, in moral value, the elevation and independence of self. What we can agree on is that Nancy is back in her Ronnie’s arms, and that is the stuff of paradise.

HERALD-CITIZEN, Cookeville, Tenn. — www.herald-citizen.com — Sunday, March 13, 2016 — B3 SCHOOLS Engineering honors its brightest at TTU E-Week Banquet TTU — The College of Engineering at Tennessee Tech University honored its most creative and innovative alumni, faculty, students and staff at the annual Engineering Week awards banquet on Feb. 25. Alumni awards were presented in three categories. William (Bob) Vick, president of Bob Vick & Associates in Cookeville, received the Engineer of Distinction Award. Vick earned his bachelor’s degree in 1968 and master’s in 1970 from TTU in civil engineering. Steven Hawkins received the Technol- ogist of Distinction Award. Hawkins is an administrator for the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration in Nashville and earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial technology from Tennessee Tech in 1986. Carlos Carvajal was honored as the inaugural winner of the Young Alumnus Achievement Award. Carvajal, a global procurement manager for Eastman Chemical Company, earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from TTU in 2006. Alfred Kalyanapu, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, received the Kinslow Engineering Research Award. He was recognized for his work as lead author on a research paper published in the Earth Interactions Online Journal. The article details the impacts of modified flood patterns for cities near dams. Mechanical engineering doctorate student Jason Cole Witman was this year’s recipient of the Leighton E. Sissom Innovation and Creativity Award. Witman was honored for his work on a four-year research project in alternative low-cost DECA honors processes for deposition of protective coating, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The resulting invention is under U.S. patent review and earned additional project funding from the Office of Naval Research. This year’s engineering Outstanding Staff awardee was Michele Holm. She is an administrative associate in the mechanical engineering department. Holm graduated magna cum laude from TTU with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies. Holm was recognized for her outstanding job performance, cheer- HOMELESS: Student loses car, home in crash From Page B1 crossed his mind. But at least he had his car. He also had two part-time jobs — one in Cookeville and another back home in Winchester on the weekends — which provided enough money for gas and food. It was a situation Seals said he kept from others, even his mother, due to the embarrassment. So why keep going to school? Why not just quit and get a full-time job? Seals said he just wasn’t ready to give up on his education, nor did he want to start repaying his student loans. “I had to keep going to put that off until I graduated,” he said. When the new semester began in January, Seals found himself still living in his car, but he had also secured student loans as a start toward improving his situation. Then a snow storm hit, bringing with it enough of the white stuff to cause TTU classes to be canceled for a couple of days. And it was on that Friday — Jan. 22 — that Seals decided to turn his break from school into an opportunity to make the two-and-a-half hour drive back to his hometown. Maybe he would build a snowman. Or go sledding. But a complication arose along the way. His car hydroplaned and hit a utility pole, crushing the trunk and shattering the back window. “When I got to the trunk, my heart was crushed — along with my laptop,” he said. That’s when Seals said he finally sought assistance to get through his predicament. He even shared his story on gofundme.com, where he generated enough donations to buy a new laptop and make some rent payments on the apartment Members of the Cookeville High School DECA club — which stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America — celebrate their success at the Tennessee DECA State Career Competition held March 3-5 at Opryland Hotel in Nashville.

The banquet was the final event of EWeek, and winners of the student competitions for “best darn major” were also announced Thursday evening. Each night throughout the week, competitions between majors took place in various locations across campus. Such competitions were the Raspberry Pi, Building Blitz, Egg Launch, and Cardboard Canoe race. The Department of Chemical Engineering took the 2016 title. he now shares with friends while continuing on with his studies at TTU. “I didn’t know people would be that kind to a complete stranger,” he said. “There are actually nice people out there who want to help.” In addition, Marc Burnett, vice president of student affairs at TTU, met with Seals on campus upon learning about his ordeal. “It was just a matter of us not being aware,” he said. “He hadn’t come forward. “But once we found him, I just talked with him about his situation. We offered him some assistance, including housing on campus the rest of the semester, but he said he had made other arrangements.” Burnett said that while some students in similar situations do occasionally approach the university for help, such as getting items from the food pantry, many do not. “We don’t want any student to be in that position,” he said. “If we’re aware, we offer as much assistance as we can. Not only do we want to educate them, we want them to be able to get along and do the things they need to do. That’s what we’re here for.” Burnett added that he’s glad Seals’ story ended on a positive note as well as shed some light on the issue of student homelessness. “We’ve even taken further steps to see if there are any other students out there who may fit that category in terms of not having the things they need to be here,” he said. Meanwhile, Seals said his lack of a vehicle limits his opportunities to hold a job, but that’s a situation he plans to remedy during spring and summer breaks from school. Until then, it’s all about academics.

Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) was named Council Alumnus of the Year by the Great Smoky Mountain Council of the Boy Scouts of America for applying skills and values he learned as a Boy Scout throughout his career. “Being a Boy Scout taught me about the outdoors and what it means to be an American,” Alexander said. “I have put that love for the outdoors to work as a United States Senator, trying to protect the parks, keep the air clean and keep enough open space so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy the outdoors as I did.” Alexander received the Council Alumnus of the Year Award at the Great Smoky Mountain Council’s annual volunteer dinner in Knoxville. The award, the National Scouting Alumni Association’s highest council recognition, recognizes alumni of the Boy Scouts of America who have used the skillsets and values they learned through Scouting to make significant and long-lasting contributions to their community throughout their career. The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America authorized the award last year, and Alexander is the Great Smoky Mountain Council’s first recipient. Alexander praised the Great Smoky Mountain Council for its work in providing boys and girls in grades 3-12 with fun and exciting opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The STEM Scouts program encourages youth to engage in STEM activities that will translate into STEM-related careers that are crucial to our country’s future economy. The Great Smoky Mountain Council served over 300 STEM Scouts in its first year, and by the end of 2015, there were 793 Scouts in the program with membership continuing to grow. “Last year, the Senate education committee that I chair passed legislation to strengthen federal support for STEM education at elementary and secondary schools,” Alexander said. “Teaching youth how to apply STEM to everyday life and giving them opportunities to expand those experiences into a future career is important, and I commend the Great Smoky Mountain Council for encouraging STEM in a fun and creative way.” Alexander earned his Eagle Scout Award in 1954 as a member of Troop 88 at New Providence Presbyterian Church in Maryville. He was presented with the DistinSee SCOUTS, Page B6 B4 — HERALD-CITIZEN, Cookeville, Tenn. — www.herald-citizen.com — Sunday, March 13, 2016 SCHOOLS Tips offered to make school lunch healthier 4-H poster fun Participants in the 4-H poster contest at Baxter Elementary hold up their entries.

The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions. Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired. As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while limiting calories. Despite some controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements. Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a well-funded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations. Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow. • Offer nutrient-dense foods. Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrient-dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer. • Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. The American Heart Association recommends kids get no more than 25 to 35 percent of their calories from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources. • Let kids choose some of their food. Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps. • Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients. • Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages. Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies. Early intervention keeps students on track toward graduation Education experts are well versed in the benefits of students staying in school and graduating. Career opportunities are greater for those with diplomas, and much emphasis has been placed on improving school graduation rates. Data compiled by National Public Radio revealed that stepping in early to keep a student on track can pay off down the road. It is believed that warning signs that predict a child’s chance of graduating high school may surface as early as the first grade. Many have dubbed these signs ABCs, for Attendance, Behavior and Classwork. There has been a growing demand for school systems to develop warning indicators for students in elementary school, according to researchers leading early warning and dropout prevention work at the American Institutes for Research. Students with poor attendance records; behavior issues, including meeting with the principal or getting suspended; and who continually fail or do not perform well in the classroom may be more likely to drop out of school at an early age. It should be noted that ABCs are only one measure of a child’s potential graduation rate. But early intervention by teachers, coaches or tutors may help steer students down different, more successful paths. Workshop helps in finding World War I ancestors NASHVILLE — Local students and families wishing to know more about their World War I ancestors now have an opportunity to do so. The Tennessee State Library and Archives is hosting a workshop April 2 geared toward helping people learn more about those long-ago relatives, which represented more than one quarter of the country’s male population from the ages of 18 to 31 during that time. According to the National Archives, about 2 million Americans served overseas during the conflict from 1914-1918. That means many Americans have ancestors who fought during World War I. Library and Archives’ director of public services Gordon Belt will lead the workshop from 9:30-11 a.m. He will use a case study from his own family history to retrace the march of Tennesseans to the war’s front lines. The workshop will be held in the Library and Archives auditorium, which is located at 403 Seventh Avenue North, directly west of the State Capitol building in downtown Nashville. Although the event is free and open to the public, reservations are required due to limited seating in the auditorium. To register, visit tennesseegreatwar.eventbrite.com. Free parking is available around the Library and Archives building. Tennessee State Library and Archives World War I soldiers gear up to join the Allied Forces during World War I.

I had purchased a new camera and didn’t understand what it could do, but the club had a class that helped immensely. Most of the class participants had DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) cameras and I didn’t, but the members were very eager and willing to help me with my particular low-end Camera camera. There continCorner ues to be an attitude of helping other members improve their photography, whether it be lighting, composition, or editing. This has been invaluable to me as the owner-designer of a small web design company. My husband and I have recently started a Sheila plant nursery and I do Rich all the printed material which includes pictures of what a buyer can expect their newly purchased plant to look like. Oh, it is so tempting to copy some of the wonderful pictures I see of plants on some of the nursery sites! But, you know what? That would be stealing someone else’s property, something they have spent time and effort on. Maybe they have spent a lot of time and money over the years to get to that level of photography expertise. Many of the photos are copyrighted and it is downright illegal to copy them and use them, especially if you are going to use them for commercial purposes. Even though it might not be illegal to copy pictures that aren’t copyrighted, it certainly is not ethical. In short, if you want to use a picture that is on the internet, ask for permission to do so. Now this brings me to my present prob- Celebrating the donation are, from left, Jason Cross, maintenance supervisor; Jacob Young, park manager; Wayne “Grady” Thompson, maintenance; and Fount Bertram, president of Friends of Edgar Evins State Park.

Since most of our plants are young, or even dormant, it is not possible for me to take great pictures in February or before our plants are blooming. One avenue to explore is to purchase stock photos. As a web designer I am very familiar with that and use stock photos for newsletters and occasionally for websites. There are a number of agencies online that sell stock photography (as well as videos and illustrative content). These stock images are graphic content that has been submitted by photographers and artists whose work has been judged to be of professional quality. You might think that this is an expensive way to go, but it isn’t. It gets more expensive though if you are going to use them for magazines, billboards, and such. For my use, I have never paid over $2 for a photo. Unfortunately, I can’t find many stock photos that I can use for the nursery busi- ness. One reason is that I want to be sure that the picture is an accurate representation of a particular variety of plant and I can’t know that without knowing the scientific name, and the stock photos don’t give the scientific name of plants. Well, this leads me back to square one. You might see me around town this spring when the dogwoods, forsythias, and saucer magnolias bloom. I will be looking for great plants that people have in their yards and I will ask for their permission before photographing their pride and joys. And what a great way to meet people!

Nonprofits encouraged to register for The Big Payback UPPER CUMBERLAND — More than 14,400 donors came together in a big way last year to “pay back” nonprofits in the region, raising more than $2.65 million in just one day as part of The Big Payback. That’s why The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee is bringing back The Big Payback for its third year on Tuesday, May 3, for what is hoped to be the biggest event yet. Nonprofits — including schools and religious institutions — are encouraged to register now to par- ticipate at TheBigPayback.org. The Big Payback is a communitywide, online giving day designed to give the public the opportunity to pay back the nonprofits that make this a place we are proud to call home. Starting at 12 a.m. on May 3, the public-atlarge has 24 hours to make donations to their choice of participating local nonprofits at TheBigPayback.org. “The Big Payback puts a charitable spin on the idea of ‘buy local’ and provides an easy and fun way for commu- Friends are stymied on how to help wife in bad marriage D EAR ABBY: How can I help a friend who needs to stand up for herself and file for divorce? Her husband is in a high-profile job that’s connected with hers. He has been having an affair with a co-worker for years, and he is verbally and sometimes physically abusive. She has called the police twice, but Dear didn’t press Abby charges. Friends are running out of sympathy, but don’t know how to help her. Is it wrong to report his behavior to his employer Abigail even though Van Buren he might get fired because of it? — NEEDS TO STAND UP DEAR NEEDS TO STAND UP: As your friend may probably be already aware, abuse doesn’t stay at the same level. It can escalate from verbal abuse to pushing and slapping to serious physical harm and sometimes even death. That’s why this woman’s friends should assure her they stand with her, and try to convince her to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233; thehotline.org) and arrange a safe and effective escape plan. Trained advocates at the hotline have told me that not every caller will leave after the first — or even the second — episode of violence, but at least she will know what she needs to do. If she comes to you injured, get her to an emergency room for treatment and so that her wounds can be photographed. If she shows up at work with bruises, it’s time to talk to human resources to see if you can get her some help, but I would not advise contacting her husband’s employer. DEAR ABBY: I’m a happily married gay man living in metro Atlanta. My 50th high school reunion is approaching and I want to take my husband. The reunion is being held in a small rural town in the Midwest. Of course, I haven’t lived there in 50 years, but I go there occasionally for family events. I come from a large family, lots of brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and grandnieces and grandnephews, many of whom still live in my hometown. I don’t know if all of them know about my situation and I’m not that concerned, but I am concerned about smalltown gossip that can be meanspirited. I wouldn’t want anyone to be hurt. I know my relatives interact professionally and personally with some of my classmates and their descendants. Am I being overly concerned, or should I just go and let the chips fall where they may? That’s the thing about coming out as gay — it’s an ongoing process, even at my age. — GAY GRADUATE IN GEORGIA DEAR GAY GRADUATE: Go to the reunion, take your husband and have a good time. If anyone has a problem with the fact that you are homosexual and married, do not make it your problem. We can’t control what someone might say behind our backs. But whatever is said is a reflection on the speaker — not us or our relatives. Because people live in small towns does not mean they are all smallminded.

Gallery to feature ‘Women in Stone’ COOKEVILLE — Five artists who work with stone will be featured in the Magical Muse Gallery with their opening reception held from 6-9 p.m. Friday, March 18. “Women in Stone” will feature Lisa Ruttan Wolff, Kathleen Slocum, Pat Culbertson, Linda J. Peterson and Nan Jacobsohn, who form a group they call Chrysalis. Based out of Knoxville, they meet to exchange ideas, expertise and moral support. Their love of the medium and unity of purpose inspired their show. “They are all Masters in their field and the experience of seeing this work can only enhance a love of the arts for the viewers,” gallery honor Stan Rodriguez said. The Women in Stone will run from March 15 to April 12. The Magical Muse Gallery is located at 37 North Cedar Street in Cookeville. nities to show their local pride and give back,” said Ellen Lehman, president of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “Nonprofits do life-changing work every day across Middle Tennessee, and it’s important we recognize the positive impact they have in our own backyards by supporting their efforts.” Gifts from the public will be boosted with additional funds from sponsors of The Big Payback. Nonprofits will vie for financial incentives, bonus dona- tions and additional prizes. An online leaderboard will track donations in realtime. Donors will be able to view and select from participating organizations based on location and focus area, such as animals, education, health, arts and more. Donors can support multiple organizations and make gifts of any size, from $10 and up. Nonprofits, schools, and religious institutions found success in last year’s giving day helping to raise much- needed funds for particular needs such as new windows for a building, computers for a classroom, or specific programming in support of a mission. There is no cost for nonprofits to participate. The past two years, donors supporting The Big Payback have ensured no participating organization walked away empty handed. Organizations interested in participating in The Big Payback should register by March 18. Details can be found at TheBigPayback.org.

E very year about this time we start to see those lovely little buds forming on our trees and know that — finally — some warmth is coming. But the first thing I always look for is the forsythia. It is like a big sign yelling “SPRING! SOON!” Always the first to blossom with brilliant yellow flowers, the forsythia requires that our ground Tree temperature Talk be at least 60 degrees. And that also tells us that if we have been waiting to plant a tree this will be a perfect MaryDell time as the Sommers root system is able to get established before the heat of summer is upon us. If you don’t do it now you may have to wait until fall when the ground cools down and for those of us who love trees, we don’t like waiting. If you attended the Home and Garden Show this year may have picked up some trees at the City Of Cookeville Tree Board booth. Plant those little dears in the ground now and then stand back and be ready for some growth and beauty that will give you years of pleasure. Our soil is nice and moist right now but when the heat arrives you might want to consider using a “gator” bag to water your newly planted trees. The Tree Board has “gators” for $25; they will not just save your newly planted trees but will be there for the next tree and the next tree; years of watering service designed to protect your investment. Your Tree Board plans to share tips on trees in our area in future columns. Trees we have grown to admire and trees we think you might want to avoid.

Elvis Presley estate sues Las Vegas casino LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Elvis Presley estate has filed a lawsuit against a Las Vegas casino-hotel that is holding artifacts and memorabilia involving the King as part of a leasing dispute. Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. filed the lawsuit Monday in Clark County District Court seeking to retrieve stage outfits, jewelry, letters and a high school yearbook, among other artifacts from the career, home and wedding of Elvis. The estate and business group is trying to get back hundreds of items it loaned to the muchhyped “Graceland Presents Elvis” attraction at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. The off-Strip property took control of the items last month when it shut down the attraction that includes a museum exhibit, wedding chapel and theater. The move came after the third-party operator, Exhibit A Circle, said it was quitting. The lawsuit accused the casino of holding the valuables hostage for leverage in its leasing dispute with Exhibit A Circle, noting the estate has been cut off from a security camera that allowed it to monitor the items. It’s asking the court to order the items be returned and seeks punitive damages.

It’s time again for South by Southwest Interactive, an annual tech festival dubbed “Spring Break for nerds.” The five-day festival, which kicked off Friday in Austin, Texas, is more freewheeling than other tech conferences like CES in Las Vegas and Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. It’s where St. Bernards delivering Mophie smartphone chargers to festival goers — as the charger maker arranged last year — can garner as much buzz as the apps brought to fame there, including Foursquare in 2009 and Twitter in 2007. “It’s an interesting place to see what types of things are bubbling up in technology,” said Ryan Hoover, founder of Product Hunt, a service for people to rate new tech products. “It has this mixture or collision of technology and entertainment. When different types of minds and people are connecting together, new ideas come out.” The festival has grown larger and more corporate over the years, with sponsors including McDonald’s and Samsung, but it still draws an eclectic crowd of movers and shakers in the tech industry each year. This year’s sessions include one on a futuristic transportation system, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, which aims to move people in a capsule inside an enclosed tube track at 760 miles per hour — faster than commercial airliners. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone will discuss the evolution of online search, while “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams and “The Jinx” director Andrew Jarecki will tout Jarecki’s new app for video editing and sharing, KnowMe. Even President Obama will make an appearance, the first for a U.S. president at the festival. He plans to talk about civic engagement with the editor-inchief of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit news outlet based in Austin. Ethan Kurzweil, a Bessemer venture capitalist who has attended the festival for eight years, said that while South by Jack Plunkett | AP File JJ Castillo, from left, Vanessa Cottingham, and Pamela Ledbetter, wave at a Koceto Jo prototype 360-degree view video camera during the SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. Southwest Interactive is no longer the little-known yet influential festival it once was, “you can still hear people talking about the very-bleeding-edge consumer tech trends.” South by Southwest Interactive is part of the larger SXSW festival, which also features sections for movies, music and games over 10 days. The interactive conference drew 33,825 registrants from more than 80 countries last year; the combined festival had about 80,000. Organizers drew criticism several months ago when, faced with threats, they canceled two panels on harassment in online video games. In response, the festival will hold a daylong “online harassment summit” on Saturday, with a slate of panels examining the problem of online harassment. Another hot topic will be the U.S. government’s demands that Apple create a software program to bypass security features in an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino mass shooters. One panel will focus on ways to improve the relationship between the government and the tech industry, while preserving privacy and security. And virtual reality will continue to garner buzz, particularly as many systems such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Sony Playstation VR are expected to hit the market this year. Some sessions will be part of the SXSW gaming festival, which runs March 17 to 19. But the interactive festival will have such panels as “Holy light field! Creating lifelike presence in VR.” And Samsung will show off VR chairs that offer motion simulation as people wear Samsung’s $100 VR headset, Gear VR. HERALD-CITIZEN, Cookeville, Tenn. — www.herald-citizen.com — Sunday, March 13, 2016 — C5 LIVING Infamous W.K. Henderson returns to Cookeville By BOB MCMILLAN HERALD-CITIZEN Staff Looking back in history, here were some of the happenings in the Cookeville area for the week of March 13-19, as recorded in the pages of the Herald-Citizen 1935 The infamous W.K. Henderson was in Cookeville this week. The newspaper commented, “Fortunately for Cookeville, Mr. Henderson didn’t stay long and he didn’t say when he’ll be back.” Just a year or so again, Henderson, owner of a Shreveport, La., radio station, launched a national campaign to put chain stores and mail order houses out of business. Hundreds of grocerymen and dry goods store owners contributed to Henderson’s “war chest.” Then, to their dismay, they learned that Henderson had taken the money and opened his own mail order coffee business. He apparently somehow escaped prosecution and now travels extensively. Eastern Airlines mail pilot Paul Charles was blown 100 miles off course in a storm and found himself over Putnam County this week, late in the night, and perilously low on fuel. He buzzed the town, trying to get someone’s attention for help. Service station operator Clarence Stone heard him. So did Comer Cannon, Harry Emory and Billie Chapin. Stone and the other group rushed separately to the airfield north of town. In the dark, Stone built a fire to light the landing field. Meanwhile, the other trio lined the strip with their cars and turned their headlights on. Just before dawn, Charles landed his biplane safely. 1941 A nine-year-old boy, Everett Grider, was burned this week trying to save his father’s wagon. The family rode the wagon to town from their home four miles south of town and parked it near the town stockyards, leaving Everett there to watch his two young brothers. An unidentified youth rode by the wagon on a bicycle and tossed in a lit match. Hay in the bottom of the wagon blazed up. The boy snatched out his two brothers, and then tired to save the wagon, badly burning his legs and hands in the process. He is expected to heal completely. Meanwhile, police chief X.B. Haynie is investigating the fire. He says he’s learned that the same wagon was set afire near the same spot three weeks ago. Former Cookeville resident Robert E. Lee died this week of a heart attack at his home in Columbus, Miss. He was 66. He moved to Cookeville as a boy and grew up here, becoming a traveling gravel salesman. He had been living in Mississippi for the past 20 years. He was the son of Capt. and Mrs. Zeb P. Lee. Needless to say, his father was a Confederate veteran. (March 13, 1941) 1946 Hugh Smith Hargis, 72, the President of Citizens Bank, died this week at his home on Broad Street after a short heart ailment. He’d suffered the same problem two years ago but recovered and returned to work. He was back at his desk last week when it flared up again and he was taken to his home, where he died a short time later. Born in Granville in 1874, he came to Cookeville in 1906 with his new wife, Vallie. He became a traveling salesman and later, in 1914, opened Citizen’s Bank. He had been its president ever since. William H. Woodfield, the Imperial Potentate of the North American Shriners, passed through town this week and local shriners threw together a quick luncheon at the TPI Cafe in his honor. Among local shriners present were Sam Bartlett, Dero Brown, Campbell Lee, Carmel Brown, Hubert Crawford, O.C. Masters, W.T. Sewell, Dewey Ramsey and Comer Cannon. (March 14, 1946) 1954 A Juilliard graduate hailed in Europe as a gifted world-class pianist, Joan Holley, will perform in Derryberry Hall at TPI this week for the college’s last concert of the season. In other musical entertainment this week, a chorus of over 600 area elementary students will sing in the Tech Memorial Gymnasium in “America Sings.” The presentation includes a series of historical skits ranging from the Pilgrim’s landing to cowboys roping stray dogies to a circus big top with “elephants” and a “man on a trapeze.” There’ll also be a high school chorus, two school bands and a string band. Pictured on page one advertising the event are Edgar Carson Butler dressed as a pirate and Clara Faye Neal testing the point of her cutlass. (March 19. 1954) 1960 Cookeville General Hospital graduated another 17 student nurses this week, and in a special ceremony at Broad Street Church of Christ, Putnam School Supt. Eddie Watson ‘capped’ the new students. Among them were Mrs. Arvis Lee, Mrs. Joyce Haney, Miss Wyeath McCormick, Miss Myra Sue Taylor and Mrs. Estelle Garrison. In its weekly “Town Topics” column, the newspaper comments on the state of Cookeville’s winter-ruined streets. The city council this week announced that crews have begun filling potholes. But the newspaper comments that a more systematic routine is needed. It says that city streets have fallen into such disrepair over the winter that each motorist in the city pays an average of $10 a month fixing damage from potholes. (March 13, 1960) 1974 The Putnam School Board meets this week to decide whether to expand an early education program to schools across the county. It’s now limited to just Cookeville, where federal Model Cities dollars operate it, offering low-income working parents a place to leave their pre-school children each day. School officials have proposed to expand the program countywide for a cost of $81,000. If the board approves it, it’s unclear how well the idea will be received by the Putnam County Court, which controls the purse strings. Showing at the Varsity Cinema this week: It’s Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry in “Magnum Force.” (March 13, 1974) 1984 Putnam County Executive John Gentry says he’s ready to propose to the Putnam County Commission that the county take over half the cost of operating the Cookeville Animal Shelter to give county residents a humane way to dispose of stray dogs and cats. Presently, only city residents are allowed to bring strays to the shelter because when it was created, the county declined to participate. But Gentry says residents in rural Putnam County are being plagued by stray dogs and something needs to be done about the problem. The last time he approached the commissioners on the matter, one suggested that the best way for residents to deal with strays is to “shoot them.” Showing this week at the Varsity Theater: “The Right Stuff.” (March 14, 1984) Granville 2016 Genealogy Festival honors Carter family Thomas Carter II of Lancaster County, Va. GRANVILLE — The 2016 Granville Genealogy Festival set for April 9 at Granville Museum will honor the Carter Family.

Peter Frampton on that crazy summer 40 years ago By MARK KENNEDY AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK (AP) — It’s been 40 years since Peter Frampton’s life was turned upside down — in a good, crazy way. The former Humble Pie member was enjoying some modest success as a solo artist when he followed the thenconventional wisdom and followed up his four studio albums with a double live album. That’s when all hell broke loose. “Be careful what you wish for,” says Frampton now with a rueful smile. Within a month of its January 1976 release, the album “Frampton Comes Alive!” was in the Top 10 and getting stronger as the weather warmed. He spent a record 17 weeks at the top of the charts, thanks to the singles “Show Me the Way,” ‘’Baby, I Love Your Way” and the 14-minute “Do You Feel Like We Do,” with its distinctive distorted vocal effect. One day, his manager called and asked if he was sitting down. “I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Well, you’ve just made history. It’s the biggest-selling album of all time. You’ve just beaten Frampton Carole King’s ‘Tapestry’ record,’” Frampton said. “That’s when I got nervous and a little bit anxious because to have the No. 1 album was unbelievable. I mean, I never, ever thought that I could approach that. But then to hear that, that’s sort of surreal.” The English-born Frampton, now 65, is celebrating that crazy summer with a new release, “Acoustic Classics,” a CD of stripped-down versions of his best-known songs that includes one new tune, “All Down to Me.” He wanted his beloved songs to sound fresh and intimate, as if they were written the night before. “I was very pleased that the songs held up,” said the singer-guitarist. “Very early on, I learned that you can have a great band, you can have a great producer, great studio, everything can be right, but if you don’t have great songs, you’ve got nothing.” After the monster success of the 1976 live album, the singer’s big hair and good looks led his record company to repackage him as a pop star. His next album was rushed, against his objections, and didn’t do as well. Nothing could. “I’ve learned that a pop star’s career is about 18 months but a musician’s career lasts a lifetime. I kind of morphed — as quickly as I could — into a musician,” he said. “It was a crazy period.” Gordon Kennedy, a Nashville, Tennessee-based songwriter and musician who has written songs for Eric Clapton, Garth Brooks and Ricky Skaggs, has worked with Frampton for 16 years. He calls him “above everything else, this ferocious musician.” “He is a guy who, in some ways, had to overcome his own image. And it wasn’t an image that he necessarily created,” said Kennedy. “All the while, he’s just wanting to play guitar.” Over the years, Frampton acted a little — he had a part in “Almost Famous” and mocked himself in Geico ads — and worked with George Harrison and toured with old friend David Bowie, whom he had known since he was 12. Bowie, who invited Frampton on his Glass Spider Tour, was a mentor. “For all of us, we’ve lost a genius, a one-ofa-kind. He taught so many people how to redirect your career — including me,” Frampton said. Redemption came in 2007 when Frampton’s instrumental album “Fingerprints” won a Grammy Award, his first. “I was speechless at that time be- cause it meant so much to me to get that vote of confidence as a player,” he said. “Over the last few years — since ‘Fingerprints’ — things kind of sped up. There’s more demand for me out there live. I’ve been working really well every year. It’s fantastic because I love to play live.” Frampton these days lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and is father to four kids, the youngest a college student at 19. He’s come to terms with the album that defined his career. “When I kick the bucket, the first sentence will be, ‘known for the live album ‘Frampton Comes Alive!’ I know that,” he said. He also knows how beloved his songs are, especially “Baby, I Love Your Way.” “I have actually met children conceived to that song,” he said, laughing. “It was a very personal song to me and made me realize the more personal you make it, the more everybody else can see that in themselves.” Publishers Weekly Best Sellers Week ending 3/6/2016 HARDCOVER FICTION 1. “The Gangster” by Clive Cussler, Justin Scott (Putnam) 2. “A Girl’s Guide to Moving On” by Debbie Macomber (Ballantine) 3. “NYPD Red 4” by James Patterson (Little, Brown) 4. “Cometh the Hour” by Jeffrey Archer (St. Martin’s) 5. “Find Her” by Lisa Gardner (Dutton) 6. “Brotherhood in Death” by J.D.

Feds invest nearly $7M in small business to boost clean tech By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The federal government is investing nearly $7 million in 33 small businesses across the country to build partnerships with national laboratories in hopes of speeding up development of clean energy technology, the U.S. Department of Energy announced Thursday. The selected businesses represent only a fraction of the hundreds that applied to participate in the first round of a new small business voucher pilot project. They represent 20 different states and will be working with nine national labs. As part of the pilot, another $13 million in vouchers will be awarded to small businesses in subsequent rounds, and officials have asked for a budget increase for the next fiscal year to expand the project. Dave Danielson, an assistant secretary with the Energy Department, said the nation’s labs are science powerhouses that have cutting-edge supercomputers, high-tech laser facilities and some of the most brilliant minds on the planet — all strategic advantages that the U.S. has in the global race to develop clean energy technologies. “But if we really want to accelerate our transition to a low-carbon economy, we have to accelerate the process of lab technology reaching the market and help our labs to collaborate with the private sector,” Danielson said during a conference call with reporters. That’s where the small businesses come in. Aside from bringing game-changing technology to the market faster, he said the Department of Energy is looking to double the number of small businesses that are working with the national labs over the next year. The small businesses can use the vouchers — anywhere from $50,000 to $300,000 — to do collaborative research with the labs or to seek lab assistance. That could include working on prototypes or validating innovations that the businesses have already developed. The focus will be on advanced manufacturing, building and vehicle technologies, fuels cells and a range of renewable energy sources. The project also will boost economic development around the country, supporters say. At Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, New Mexico-based iBeam Materials was among the businesses to show off their work Thursday. iBeam is developing new LED products for lighting, displays and wearable electronics. Other labs participating in the first round include the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado, Lawrence Berkeley in California, Oak Ridge in Tennessee and the Pacific Northwest lab in Washington. Amazon leases 20 jets to build out logistics network NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is taking to the skies. The e-commerce powerhouse has finalized an agreement to lease 20 Boeing jets from Air Transport Services Group Inc. as it builds out its U.S. delivery capabilities. Amazon has been investing heavily in its shipping infrastructure, adding sorting centers, which sort packages by zip code and deliver them to post offices. And it has started to roll out thousands of trucks to speed up package delivery from its warehouses to the sorting centers. Amazon says the goal is not to compete with package delivery carriers such as FedEx Corp. and UPS but work on improving its own logistics to offer faster delivery for customers as well as providing shipping services for third-party sellers on the site, a service called Fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon’s $99 annual Prime loyalty program offers free two-day shipping on many items. Air Transport Services said the company had been working on the agreement with Amazon since last summer. Amazon will lease 20 747 freighter jets. The 20 leases are for five to seven years. The agreement for the operation of the aircraft will be for five years. Amazon is also taking a stake in the Wilmington, Ohio-based company. It will get warrants to buy during a five-year period up to 19.9 percent of the company’s shares at $9.73 per share. Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations and customer service, said in an emailed statement that the agreement will help supplement its existing delivery network and ensure the company has the air cargo capacity to support one- and two-day delivery for its customers. Shares of Air Transport Services jumped 17 percent to close at $13.73. Earlier the stock reached $14.90, an all-time high. Amazon.com Inc. shares dipped 79 cents to $559.47. Shares of FedEx and UPS both edged down about 1 percent, to $141.98 and $99.56, respectively. NASHVILLE – With tax season in full swing, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) shares three essential guidelines to help consumers efficiently navigate the income tax filing process. “We want Tennesseans to make the most of their income tax refunds,” TDCI Deputy Commissioner Bill Giannini said. “Our Division of Consumer Affairs and Board of Accountancy offer great resources to help keep your money out of the pocket of scammers.” TDCI encourages Tennesseans to consider the following when submitting income taxes: 1. Get your refund fast through direct deposit. Did you know that your income tax refund can be electronically deposited into your financial account for free? The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can automatically deposit your refund into up to three separate accounts if you set up direct deposit when you file your return. Click here to learn how.??2. File your taxes for free. If your income is $54,000 or less, if you are 60years-old or older, or if you have a disability or speak limited English, you can generally get free tax preparation assistance at a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) location near you. The IRS offers instructions to help you get started. If you decide to do it yourself: • If your income is $62,000 or less, you can use any one of several major tax preparation software products, offered through the Free File Alliance, to prepare and file your return for free. The Free File Alliance is a nonprofit coalition of industry leading tax software companies partnered with the IRS to help Americans prepare and e-file their federal tax returns for free. If your income is more than $62,000, you can still download free tax filing forms through the IRS. • There are many easy-to-use tax preparation software products on the market that will help you walk through the tax filing process step-bystep. These are not free, but they may be less expensive than paying someone to file your return for you. Tip: Depending on your age, income and filing status, you may not be required to file a return. Click here to see if you are required to file a tax return.? 3. Beware potential tax fraud. Tax fraud is becoming increasingly common. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, from 2011 through 2013, the IRS stopped 14.6 million suspicious tax returns. Here are a few ways to protect yourself from fraud: • File electronically and request that your refund be deposited directly into your account. • Vet your Certified Public Accountant (CPA). If you decide to hire a CPA, you may contact the Tennessee Board of Accountancy to find out if complaints or disciplinary actions have been filed against him/her. Contact the Tennessee Board of Accountancy at accountancy.board@tn.gov or 888-453-6150. Learn more at www.tn.gov/regboards. • Use ID theft prevention measures. Don’t carry your social security card with you. Also, don’t carry your Medicare card unless you’re going to a doctor for the first time. • Check your credit report. You can review your credit report for free every 12 months at www.AnnualCreditReport.com, or by calling 877-322-8228. • Stay alert for phone scams.?The IRS will not: • Call or email you to ask for personal information. • Demand immediate payment without first sending you a bill in the mail and giving you an opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. • Require you use a specific payment method for taxes, like a prepaid debit card. • Ask for credit card information over the phone. • Threaten to have you arrested for not paying. If any of these scams happen to you, report it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484 or www.treasury.gov/tigta. If you suspect you’ve been a victim of identity theft involving your income tax return, report it to the IRS.

Pre-paid card users, under scrutiny, find tax refunds frozen PHOENIX (AP) — Thousands of people have had their prepaid debit cards frozen when they try to direct their tax refund to their accounts, a result of financial industry efforts to combat an escalation in tax fraud. It’s keeping people from their money, and delaying access to much-anticipated tax refunds. People who rely on prepaid debit card accounts are often poorer Americans who don’t have traditional bank accounts. Shannon King had her money frozen for two weeks. She had planned to use it for car repairs and to help pay for a move, both of which then had to be delayed. “It was very frustrating,” King said. King has a Walmart MoneyCard, which is run by Green Dot. She said after her refund was deposited, Green Dot froze the card and asked her to send a picture of her Tennessee state identification card to verify the account. The process to release the money took more than two weeks, she had to submit photos of her ID a number of times — Green Dot said they weren’t readable — and she says she spent hours on the phone with customer service agents to resolve the problem. The Associated Press reviewed documents sent to Green Dot by King, including her ID picture, and they appeared clear. Prepaid debit card companies Green Dot, NetSpend and others say the problems are the result of tighter fraud protection measures. Both Green Dot and Walmart have apologized, but emphasized the measures were there to protect their customers. “We’re working with the company to ensure that any customer service issues are resolved as quickly as possible,” a spokeswoman for Walmart said. The card companies, along with the IRS, are trying to stem a tide of tax fraud by identity thieves. Criminals file bogus tax returns using other people’s identities, claim a refund and collect the money. Many people do not know they are a victim until they try to file a legitimate return and are unable to. The fraudsters often use prepaid debit cards to pull off their scams because the accounts can be relatively anonymous. For example, in 2012 a Miami man was sentenced to five years in prison and three additional years of probation for filing nearly 500 fraudulent tax returns. Instead of having the refunds deposited in a bank or mailed, he had them electronically deposited to prepaid debit cards, including Green Dot, and gift cards. When he was arrested, prosecutors say the man had 11 Wal-Mart money cards loaded with more than $32,000 from fraudulent returns. Tax and wage-related fraud was the most common form of identity theft reported to the FTC in 2015. It’s on the rise — about 45 percent of the identity theft complaints to the FTC last year were tax or wage-related, up from 33 percent in 2014 and 30 percent in 2013. The IRS says tax-related identity theft is one of its biggest challenges. In 2015, it stopped 1.4 million confirmed identity theft returns, totaling $8.7 billion. For criminals, the IRS makes for a quick, easy score: the IRS processes most returns in less than 21 days, and the average refund was $2,797 last year. To combat the problem, the IRS held a security summit last year with states and tax-industry representatives to find ways to solve the problem together. As a result, efforts to fight fraud have intensified this year and banks and other prepaid debit card companies are tightening their protections. The IRS and other industry representatives would not say if account delays or freezes were requested or required. But the IRS did say that it is working with banks and debit card issuers to obtain information that would be helpful in detecting and preventing fraud. Green Dot estimates that 9,000 customers have had their accounts blocked this season, representing 0.2 percent of their customers. NetSpend, the second largest issuer, said they also have been freezing accounts, but declined to give a number impacted. American Express, which issues a prepaid debit card known as American Express Serve, also said it has been stepping up fraud protection measures. A spokeswoman with American Express said customers can minimize the chances of being flagged for fraud by making sure their personal identification information on the account matches the information on their tax forms. And Jackson Hewitt, which uses American Express cards for its customers, requires two forms of ID to receive a prepaid bank product to help cut down on fraud.

D ear Dave: Do I set aside six months’ worth of paychecks or the amount of my bills for six months when it’s time to save up my fully funded emergency fund? Steve Dear Steve: In my plan, Baby Step 3 is when I advise people to save up Dave three to Says six months of expenses in a fully loaded emergency fund. This is set aside and not Dave touched Ramsey for any reason other than a true emergency. It’s not a Bahamas fund or a new living room furniture fund. It’s an emergency fund. It’s not an investment or fun money; it’s insurance. Think of your emergency fund as a protective barrier that keeps you from going into debt or cashing out investments when life throws bad things your way. How do you decide where to land in the three to six month range of expenses? That depends on how much risk your household has. If there’s only one income in the equation, you have more risk, so you should skew things toward six months. Being self-employed or a commissioned salesperson is also a situation where this would be true. If there are two incomes, and both come from steady, dependable sources, you could fall into the middle of that range or even more toward the threemonth side. Make sure your emergency fund is easily accessible too. A simple money market account with check-writing privileges works fine. You want to make sure you can get your money quickly when the need arises! Dear Dave: Should I ever consider a 5/1 adjustable loan if I’m buying a house and plan to pay it off in five years? Anonymous Dear Anonymous: No! The reason is you can never be assured that you’re going to pay it off in five years. If you go into it with that mindset, then you’re basically saying you can predict the future will be exactly how you want it to be. That’s pretty naïve. Your future will never be what you think it will be. It’s either going to be better or worse, but your future will never turn out exactly the way you plan for it to be. If you can’t buy a home with cash, you need the stability of a 15-year, fixed rate mortgage in your life. We’re living in the lowest mortgage interest rate environment in about 50 years. I saw a 3.02 percent 15-year fixed rate mortgage just the other day. For those of you who have not refinanced, if you’re staying in your home or you’re sitting on an adjustable rate, this is a great time to change that. Still, people are sitting around yawning like these kinds of rates are going to be around forever. It’s gone on for a while now, but don’t let that fool you into thinking those kinds of rates are normal. They’re not going to last forever. No, I would never under any circumstances take an adjustable rate mortgage. Was that unclear? I hope not!

McDonald’s trial gives peek at chain’s inner workings By CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer NEW YORK (AP) — A pivotal trial against McDonald’s that began this week is providing a peek into the inner workings of the maker of the Big Mac. The trial centers over whether McDonald’s exerts control over hiring and pay decisions for employees at restaurants run by its U.S. franchises. The National Labor Relations Board contends the company does, and should be considered a “joint employer” along with franchisees. Such a finding would be historic because it would make McDonald’s liable for the labor practices at its more than 14,000 domestic restaurants — 90 percent of which are franchised. And it could open a path to unionization for workers by giving labor groups a centralized target in McDonald’s Corp., rather than a patchwork of more than 3,000 franchisees. The trial stems from cases filed around the country on behalf of workers who said they were subject to retaliation or other unfair labor practices for taking part in protests and strikes as part of their campaign for an hourly wage of $15, as well as for union representation. The push is being backed by the Service Employees International Union, and has made low wages a hot political issue. It’s expected to be a protracted legal fight, with appeals likely from the losing side in court. Here are some insights into McDonald’s from the opening statements this week in New York: “HIRING TO WIN” McDonald’s Corp. has an internal program called “Hiring to Win” that grades job applicants as “green,” ‘’yellow” or “red.” The program was one of many examples cited by Jamie Rucker, a lawyer for the labor board, as evidence of the control that McDonald’s exerts over labor decisions at franchised restaurants. Joseph Hirsch, a lawyer for McDonald’s franchisees in Philadelphia, said franchisees suffer no consequences whether they use the program or not. “20 to 25 SECONDS” McDonald’s has a manual describing the various tasks that need to be handled in restaurants, and details the speed with which they should be performed, Rucker said. Taking a customer’s order, for instance, is supposed take 20 to 25 seconds. Lawyers for franchisees said setting such standards is part of the franchising model. Richard Brody, a lawyer for New York franchisees, said McDonald’s needs to protect its image and deliver on the expectations people have when they walk into one of its restaurants. He asked the court to imagine ordering a Big Mac that came with no “special sauce.” “McDonald’s protects that brand like the mother bear protects her cub,” Brody said. OPERATIONS CONSULTANTS McDonald’s uses “operations consultants” to continuously monitor franchisees, Rucker said. And he said franchisees can’t ignore what they say, since the company has the power to terminate their franchise agreements. William Goldsmith, a lawyer for McDonald’s Corp., said it’s possible that the board might find a couple operations consultants who did or said something that “crossed the lines between advice and direction.” But Goldsmith said that was expected given the size of the organization, and that such transgressions do not amount to McDonald’s controlling franchisees. SOFTWARE AND FORMS An employee’s hours are determined by a dynamic shift scheduling program, Rucker said. Such programs are intended to tell managers the optimal number of people they should have working based on sales. Lawyers for McDonald’s and its franchisees said the software is optional. They noted that such programs don’t take into account factors such as whether there is a local parade or nearby construction. As such, franchisees can ignore whatever the software recommends and do what they think is best. As for various forms provided by McDonald’s, one franchisee lawyer compared it to borrowing a book from a library. He said franchisees use McDonald’s materials because they’re free and come from a reliable source, rather than having to pay another party for the help. McPAY Rucker said McDonald’s offers a toolkit designed to help franchisees determine wages to stay competitive. In one case, he said McDonald’s told a franchisee to bring down the wages for its employees because they could be “disruptive” to nearby McDonald’s. SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tarla Makaeff has fought Donald Trump in court for six years. Now, as the Republican presidential front-runner and his lawyers try to portray the Southern Calif o r n i a Makaeff yoga instructor as the face of a federal class-action lawsuit against Trump University, she wants out. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel considered Makaeff’s request to withdraw from a lawsuit that says Trump University seminars and instruction fleeced students with unfilled promises to teach the secrets of real estate success. Her attorneys say Trump and his lawyers have put her “through the wringer.” Trump called her a “horrible, horrible witness” at a rally in Arkansas last month. On social media this week, his one-word characterization of her request to withdraw — “Disgraceful!” — was retweeted more than 3,200 times. Trump’s attorneys say the lawsuit should be dismissed if Makaeff is allowed to withdraw, arguing that their trial strategy centers on her. They identify her as “the critical witness.” Makaeff’s attorneys say Trump’s argument that their client is indispensable to the billionaire’s defense “is illogical to the point of being nearly incomprehensible.” They note the judge allowed two plaintiffs to withdraw last year; three others would remain. Makaeff didn’t imagine she would be subjected to criticism under the glare of a presidential campaign, her attorneys say. She has been deposed for a total of nearly 16 hours and suffered anxiety about finances after Trump sued her for defamation, seeking $1 million. Makaeff eventually prevailed on the defamation claim, and a judge ordered Trump last year to pay $798,779 in her legal fees. The skirmish in one of three lawsuits against Trump University comes as the case nears trial, possibly this summer. A trial date has not been set, but a final pretrial conference is scheduled for May 6 and Trump appears on a list of defense witnesses who may testify at the trial. Makaeff attended a three-day “Fast Track to Foreclosure” workshop for $1,495 in 2008 and later enrolled in the “Trump Gold Elite” program for $34,995, spending a total of about $60,000 on seminars in a year, her attorneys say. In April 2010, she sued in San Diego federal court. Trump’s attorneys wrote that Makaeff gave the instruction high marks in surveys and “simply did not put in the time, work, and perseverance necessary to achieve success.” Makaeff’s attorneys say the yoga instructor was unaware of Trump’s “false advertising” when she completed the surveys and didn’t want to risk alienating anyone who might advance her career. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Makaeff on the surveys when considering Trump’s defamation claim in 2013, saying, “As the recent Ponzi-scheme scandals involving onetime financial luminaries like Bernard Madoff and Allen Stanford demonstrate, victims of con artists often sing the praises of their victimizers until the moment they realize they have been fleeced.” Reminded of the Madoff comparison during a recent debate, Trump said, “Give me a break. You know what? Let’s see what happens in court.” GM buys software company to speed autonomous car development DETROIT (AP) — With hopes of speeding development of self-driving cars, General Motors has acquired a small software company that’s been testing vehicles on the streets of San Francisco. The Detroit automaker says it purchased Cruise Automation, a 40-person firm that was founded just three years ago. The move, coupled with GM’s in-house research, should help the company in its race with Google and others to have autonomous cars start transporting people on public roadways. GM wouldn’t give a timetable for rolling out the technology, but President Dan Ammann said it would happen as soon as the company can demonstrate that the cars are ready.

While the attention was focused there, it was Lady Bees junior Abby Greenwood who stole the show. Greenwood scored 19 points in Upperman’s 76-54 win over the Chargerettes on Friday at Middle Tennessee State’s Murphy Center, but it was her defensive effort against Lynn that helped lead UHS to the state championship game on Saturday. “That’s a great win,” said UHS head coach Dana McWilliams. “McMinn County is a team with so much winning tradition, and we knew we were going to have a fight. We struggled in the first half and that had a lot to do with them. In the second half, we came out ready and I really thought the key was our defensive effort.” Upperman (35-2) will face East Nashville in the Class AA title game at 6 p.m. Saturday at Murphy Center. It was all just a matter of everything coming together in the semifinal victory. “We knew we had shot the ball so poorly on Thursday,” McWilliams said. “That’s not a typical stat for this team. We felt like things were going to look up for us.” Levy had another strong outing, scoring 22 points in the victory. She eclipsed the 1,000-point mark in her career — as a sophomore at that — with her final basket of the contest with 3:15 remaining. However, it was another start similar to Thursday’s against Haywood County as the Upperman sophomore spent much of the first quarter on the bench after collecting two quick fouls. Levy smiled and said, “I’ve got to stop getting into foul trouble.” McWilliams added, “She knows she’s going to have to do a better job on that. She’s such an aggressive player and so excited about the game, we’ve got to get her emotions in check early. It seems like when she comes out in the second half, she’s in a better frame of mind.” Lynn also scored 22 points to lead McMinn Central (31-3), going 7-for-15 from the field and 7-for-9 from the freethrow line. And for Greenwood to keep her there took a monumental effort. “That is not an easy task,” McWilliams said. “I felt like she had to work for all of those points. She got a couple of easy baskets late, but before that, she was working hard. Abby is our best defensive player. She’s always going to get the tough assignment and she always comes through for us.” Greenwood smiled, “It wasn’t easy. She’s a really good player.” The game stayed close for most of the first half. MCHS led 15-13 after the first quarter, then Upperman outscored the Chargerettes 21-15 in the second quarter to take a 34-30 lead at halftime. The Lady Bees then started to pull away in the third quarter, outscoring McMinn Central 26-14 in the third and 16-10 in the fourth. Now, it’s on to the championship, where Upperman has been before most recently in 1999 and 2001. “We know it’s going to be a tough battle on Saturday,” McWilliams said. “But I know the girls are going to be focused, they’re going to work hard, and we want to come home with the gold ball.” Tony Marable | Herald-Citizen Upperman’s Abby Greenwood goes up for a layup during the Lady Bees’ 76-54 victory over McMinn Central on Friday in the TSSAA Class AA girls semifinals at Middle Tennessee State’s Murphy Center in Murfreesboro. UHS: Turnovers, free throws prove to be downfall From Page F1 half, yet still finished the game with 19 points. Abby Greenwood picked up the slack and worked her way to 18 points. Gracie Maynord scored 13 once she was able to find a rhythm beyond the arc. Lexie Strickland pulled down eight rebounds, including some of the most impressive boards of her career. Any other night, any other gym, those efforts may just have been what was needed to bring home the trophy. But Saturday, against East Nashville, it wasn’t to be. The Lady Eagles forced Upperman into 17 turnovers, a very uncharacteristic stat for the Lady Bees. “That’s the most we’ve had this season,” McWilliams said. “We average less than 10. East Nashville was also able to get to the free-throw line for 29 shots, hitting 23. Upperman was 9-for-15. That 14-point difference equaled the final margin, but that wasn’t the only factor. “They’re very athletic at every position,” McWilliams said. “They have a lot of good scorers and we ha just had a hard time keeping them off the boards and off the foul line.” Even Thursday’s win against Haywood didn’t prepare Upperman for what it saw on Saturday. Haywood was good, but the Lady Eagles from East Nashville was something completely different. They were fast, they were agile, they had skills. Tournament MVP Kaia Upton was 7-for10 from the floor, scoring 20 points, while Quentarra Mitchell was 6-for-7 for 15 points. Erica Haynes-Overton scored 14 points and Le’Jzae Davidson scored 12. As a team, they shot 50 percent from the floor, but was 68.8 percent in the second half. East Nashville turned those 17 turnovers into 18 points. The Lady Eagles had 18 fast-break points. They outrebounded Upperman 31-23. The loss ended the Lady Bees’ 29-game winning streak, ending their season at 353. Tony Marable | Herald-Citizen Upperman head coach Dana McWilliams talks to assistant coaches Amanda Asberry (center) and Tyler McWilliams (right) during the Class AA championship on Saturday at Middle Tennessee State’s Murphy Center in Murfreesboro. Asberry feels Lady Bees’ pain of losing championship By BUDDY PEARSON HERALD-CITIZEN Managing Editor MURFREESBORO — So close. Since 1999, the Upperman Lady Bees have played in a state championship game on three occasions. Three times Upperman has brought a silver ball back to Baxter as the state runner-up. The latest championship game appearance came on Saturday night at Middle Tennessee’s Murphy Center where the Lady Bees fell to East Nashville, 70-56, in the Class AA girls state tournament. “I’m thankful to be here. I’m excited the girls got to play in three state tournament games and a championship game,” said UHS head coach Dana McWilliams. “I’m disappointed I couldn’t have prepared them a little bit better to be successful.” In 1999, Upperman lost to Gleason, 48-43, in the Class A state championship game. Ashley McCaleb had 14 points, Emily Christian 12 and Annie Hargis 10 for the Lady Bees. In 2001, Upperman fell to rival Jackson County, 4642. Christian, Kim Blankenship and Desiree Burden had nine each while Heidi Mead had 8 for UHS. Against East Nashville, Akira Levy had 19 points, Abby Greenwood 18 and Gracie Maynord 13 for Upperman. “There are a lot of teams that don’t get this far, that are at home,” said Upperman assistant coach Amanda (Austin) Asberry. “I’m proud. This is a huge accomplishment to get to this game. To get this far you want to win one thing.” Asberry knows all to well what it’s like to get to the championship game and come up short. She was on the 1999 and 2001 state runner-up teams as a player and the 2016 runner-up team as a coach. “I think it hurts a little bit worse as a coach,” said Asberry. “These girls have worked their tales off this year. They are a great group of kids. They played so hard.” Asberry knows what it’s like to experience the pain of being so close only to come up a few points short of making history for your respective school. “They will learn a little later that this isn’t all that bad, but it hurts tonight,” lamented Asberry. “I just wanted it for them really bad. I knew they could do it. I know they could do it. They have a lot left.” Even though McWilliams never made it to the state tournament as a player, she has three runner-up finishes and two final four appearances in her five trips to the state as a coach. Still, losing the big game doesn’t get any easier. “She’s probably right,” said McWilliams about Austin’s statement of it hurting more as a coach than a player. “I never made it as a player, but you hurt for these kids.” The Lady Bees have a history of going to the state tournament in closely related years. UHS went in 1999 and 2001 with a lot of the same players and then made backto-back trips in 2007 and 2008. With a talented group of juniors and sophomores, McWilliams is hopeful this year’s run to the state will be followed closely by many more in the immediate future. “We certainly hope so. It was a goal of ours to get these seniors to a state tournament and we did that,” said McWilliams. “They mean so much to our program, we wanted them to be the group to win it, but we just fell short.” Riverdale routs Oak Ridge in AAA MURFREESBORO (AP) — MVP Anastasia Hayes scored 27 points in leading Riverdale to its third Tennessee Class AAA girls title in five years with a 68-36 win over Oak Ridge on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Warriors (32-4) also won championships in 2012 and 2013, and a team from Riverdale has won the past five titles, including Blackman the past two seasons. Riverdale’s title comes a year after being banned from the postseason for attempting to purposely lose a district game to avoid playing Blackman in a regional semifinal. This season, Riverdale upset top- ranked Blackman 73-66 in a regional semifinal to advance. Riverdale set a state tournament record shooting 59.7 percent over three games. Alexis Whittington added 14 points, and Brinae Alexander 10 for Riverdale en route to its fifth title.

Greene to fifth title MURFREESBORO (AP) — MVP Taylor Lamb scored 25 points in leading South Greene to its fifth state title, but first since 1992 with a 61-55 win over previously unbeaten Gibson County in the Tennessee Class A girls championship Saturday afternoon. The sophomore Miss Basketball finalist also grabbed nine rebounds. Lyndsey Cutshaw added 11 points, and Kinsley Wykle had 10 points and seven assists for the Lady Rebels (35-4) who shot 55 percent in winning their 11th straight game. Erin Lannom led Gibson County (37-1) with 26 points, including six 3-pointers. Lannom made two foul shots to give Gibson County a 55-54 lead with 1:46 left, but seven seconds later T.K. Franklin’s layup gave the lead back to South Greene. The Lady Rebels then sealed the win with five free throws shots. Briana Fields added 10 points for the Lady Pioneers, and Justyce White had nine points and eight rebounds. HERALD-CITIZEN, Cookeville, Tenn. — www.herald-citizen.com — Sunday, March 13, 2016 — F5 SPORTS CHS lacrosse still looking for first win By BEN CRAVEN HERALD-CITIZEN Sports Staff COOKEVILLE — The Cookeville Cavaliers were mere minutes away from their first win of the season, before a pair of late goals spoiled their evening. The Cavs (0-4) picked up their fourth loss of the season Friday night at Cookeville High School as the Hendersonville Spartans scored two goals in the last four minutes to tie and win the game 9-8. “I thought we outground-balled them all game,” CHS head coach Elliot Woods commented. “When it comes down to the critical plays, that one ground-ball is what happened, and (Hendersonville) just made some more plays on the offensive end than we did. We got our shots, their (goalie) made some saves, but they got some better looks. We’ve got to work on defense when guys are closing in on the goal, but we’re getting there. It’s just two teams playing hard. It’s unfortunate, but give them all the credit. They played hard.” The Cavs got started out a little slowly as the Spartans scored the first two goals, but the Cavs weren’t about to let the game turn into a blowout. AJ Holland made sure the Cavs made it out of the first quarter with a goal, assisted by Justin Eberle, and after another goal from the Spartans, Holland took a pass from Boone King and cut the lead to one point again with 10:20 in the second. The Spartans scored again pretty quickly, but with 5:47 in the half, Colbin Jones was able to take the ball through the middle and score unassisted to bring the Cavs within one before halftime. The Cavs came out of the break a different team as they stepped up their defense. The first goal of the third quarter didn’t come until there were just over three minutes remaining in the period. The Cavs finally managed to even the playing field as Eberle came around the crease unassisted and tied the game at four apiece. The Cavs and the Spartans traded goals again before Joshua Varley gave the Cavs their first lead of the game at 7-6 with 6:37 to go in the game. The last four minutes of the game were a frenzy of loose balls and exciting CHS: Opens season Thursday afternoon From Page F1 Middleton has worked hard to improve his defense to match his strong throwing arm. Middleton will get the nod as the starter. Also seeing plenty of time will be sophomore Luke Hayslette. Hayslette is a plus defender with a good arm and should be a big bat in the future. Hayslette also pitches. The infield sees some old faces at new positions. Senior Charles Harris (.237), a plus defender, moves from shortstop to third base. “Chuck” is a glue guy that tends to hold things together on the infield dirt. He has had some tough luck at the plate but hits the ball hard. Also at third base is sophomore Joshua South, who was primarily a pitcher last year. South will get at bats and see the field at third base, first base, and in the outfield. Junior A’darius Pugh (.367 – 24 of 25 SB), an all-district performer last year in centerfield, moves to shortstop. An athletic player who really helped shore up the outfield defense and provide a spark in the batting order has been working hard to readapt to his old position. Sophomore Rocky Szmydt will also be counted on to be a middle infield utility player who can play shortstop or second base. At second base, senior Taylor Hall (.348 - 21 RBI) returns for his third year as a starter. Hall brings an outstanding glove and a solid bat to the lineup. He provides leadership that can’t be measured. Also at second base is junior Bryce Alcorn. Alcorn will probably see more time on the mound than at second base, but he is more than capable of handling the role. First base finds a bevy of good players. Almost all the first basemen also fill a major role on the mound so this position will find its way to the hot bat who isn’t pitching. Senior T.J. Webb (.300 ) has worked hard to improve in the batters box. Sophomore Cade Smith (.222 – 10 RBI) moves from third base to first base. Junior David Loftin and sophomore Dylan Sparks will also get at bats this season. Sophomore James Strong brings a left handed bat into the lineup and has plenty of pop. The outfield finds two players returning. Senior Stephen Mills (.390 14 of 16 SB) is firmly plated in left field. He is a playmaker on offense and a solid bat at the plate capable of driving the ball. In right field is senior Kade Sullivan (.228), an all-district pitcher. Sullivan follows a long line of sure-gloved players with strong arms to play that spot. In centerfield is senior Kobe Swallows. Used primarily as a pinch runner and defensive replacement in 2015, Swallows is ready to assume the starting position. The fleet footed Swallows is a plus defender. Junior Cody Hutcherson (.333), who emerged as a dangerous hitter at the end of the 2015 campaign and served as the designated hitter, will hit in the middle of the order and see time in the outfield. Junior Brian Robbins is a new addition to the team after moving from Florida. He has plus speed and has shown the potential to have a great glove. Baseball, especially high school baseball, comes down to who is on the mound. The Cavs feel good about their deep pitching staff and its ability to throw strikes and change speeds. Senior right-hander T.J. Webb, the District 6-AAA Pitcher of the Year, will be the bell cow again this year. Webb was 7-2 with a 1.77 ERA last year. His 64 strikeouts in 55.1 innings make him a force. He threw a perfect game against Warren County in 2015. Capable of making the ball do great things, he will once again lead from the bump. Right-handed senior Sullivan (5-0, 1 save, 1.25 ERA, 44 K in 39.2 IP) will see action as a starter and out of the bullpen. Capable of recovering quick, he thrives in both roles. Sophomore Joshua South (60 0.60 ERA school record) made a huge splash as a freshman and will be looked to again to provide consistency to the pitching staff. A righthander who throws plenty of strikes, South is working on adding new pitches to his arsenal. Juniors Jacob Piggott, a RHP, and RHP Kaleb Clayton are two key elements to the staff. They will be used out of the bullpen and could find their way into clutch situations. Left-handers James Strong and Stephen Mills (0.85 in 8.2 IP) will be called on to provide innings and get big outs. Harris, a right-hander, will see the mound for the first time in his career. He has pitched in the summer and is a strike thrower. Hall had a win and a save with a 0.00 ERA in 2015. He is a sidearmed pitcher, who can get groundballs. Smith was 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA. He threw a one hitter against Oak Ridge as a freshman. Also seeing the mound will be Dylan Sparks, Alcorn, Pugh, Brian Robbins, Szmydt, and Hayslette. “That is the million dollar question,” Chaffin responded to a question of how far he thinks his team will go. “If we can get timely hitting, two-out rbi’s, move runners, and be tough at the plate coupled with pitching and defense we could go deep into the season. It will have to be a team effort all the way around.” The Cavs will get their season started off on Thursday as they travel to GatlinburgPittman High School.

The Spartans tied it back up (7-7) from King 20 seconds later. Unfortuat the 3:48 mark, but the Cavs were able nately, not even 20 seconds after King’s to snag the lead right back with a goal goal, the Spartans once again tied it right back up at the 3:10 mark. Possessions went back and forth with neither team seeming to have an advantage, but with 1:59 left in the game, the Spartans scored the goal that decided the contest. Holland, King, and Varley all scored two points for the Cavs, while Eberle led the team in assists with three. “At this time last year, we were winning these games,” Woods said. “(The Cavs) fought hard, and so did Hendersonville. I’ve got to give them credit for that. It’s just the little things, but what we did see was a lot of improvement from Wednesday, a lot of improvement from Monday, and even a lot of improvement from last week. Now that we have a week to prepare for Signal Mountain and rest up, I think these guys are ready to go, and I think they’re seeing it too. It’s tough, but sometimes when you’re young you’ve got to learn the hard way. We were in it. That’s what matters, and we’re going to be in a lot more.” Next up, the Cavs will take on Signal Mountain when they travel to Cookeville on Thursday. Seton Hall upsets No. 3 Villanova The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Isaiah Whitehead scored 26 points, including the deciding threepoint play with 18 seconds left, and Seton Hall won the Big East Tournament for the first time in 23 years, beating No. 3 Villanova 69-67 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Whitehead drove on the right side, flipped the ball in and was fouled. His free throw gave the Pirates a 68-67 lead. Villanova had two more chances sandwiched around a free throw by Angel Delgado, but the Pirates held on and beat the top-seeded deTop 25 fending champions. It was Seton Hall’s third Roundup tournament title, the others coming in 1991 and 1993. The third-seeded Pirates (25-8) led for almost the entire game, leading by 14 points in the first half and 11 at halftime. The Wildcats (30-4) finally started hitting from 3-point range in the second half. They tied the game four times before finally taking their first lead since 3 minutes into the game when Kris Jenkins’ 3-pointer gave them a 67-64 lead with 50 seconds to play. NO. 1 KANSAS 81, NO. 9 WEST VIRGINIA 71 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Devonte Graham matched a career-high with 27 points, Wayne Selden Jr. added 21 and Kansas overcame a remarkable performance by West Virginia’s Devin Williams for a victory over the Mountaineers in the Big 12 Tournament title game. Perry Ellis added 17 points for the Jayhawks (30-4), who almost certainly locked up the No. 1 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament by winning their 10th Big 12 Tournament championship. Kansas trailed the Mountaineers (26-8) at the break before taking control behind Graham, their sophomore guard. He hit five 3-pointers, was 10 of 10 from the foul line and had a career-high four steals, effortlessly dealing with West Virginia’s trademark pressure all night. Williams finished with a career-best 31 points and 10 rebounds, but the junior forward was forced to carry the load by himself. NO. 7 NORTH CAROLINA 61, NO. 4 VIRGINIA 57 WASHINGTON (AP) — North Carolina held Virginia without a field goal for more than 8 minutes in the second half, and Joel Berry II scored 19 points, giving the Tar Heels a victory for their first ACC Tournament title since 2008. Since then, coach Roy Williams had led UNC to four finals and lost each one. Marcus Paige added 13 points for North Carolina (28-6), which won its 18th league championship. Marcus Brogdon led Virginia (26-7) with 15 points, but the conference player of the year was limited to 6 of 22 on field-goal attempts, 2 of 9 on 3s. In all, Carolina held the Cavs to 37 percent shooting. Now comes the NCAA Tournament and an all-but-certain No. 1 seeding. NO. 2 MICHIGAN STATE 64, NO. 18 MARYLAND 61 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Denzel Valentine had 18 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds to lead Michigan State past Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament semifinal. The league’s player of the year sealed it with two free throws with 0.8 seconds to go, and Melo Trimble’s desperation heave from 55 feet away didn’t get past midcourt. Michigan State (28-5) has won 12 of 13 and will face No. 13 Purdue in Sunday’s title game. Robert Carter Jr. had 18 points and eight rebounds to lead Maryland. Trimble finished with 11 points.
