PUTNAM COUNTY — In the last
three months alone, the number of drug
overdoses in the area has been on the
rise, with a few of those resulting in
deaths.
It’s common knowledge that prescription drug abuse is a problem in this area
— and across the country — but figuring
out what is causing these overdoses can
be very difficult due to the fact that these
types of drugs and their compounds are
constantly changing.
That also makes it difficult to keep track
of how many people have experienced
overdoses.
“Drug addiction is not a phase and is
potentially a life-threatening problem,”
Captain Carl Sells of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Cookeville Police Department said. “It’s not easy to
overcome, but it is possible.”
Recently, Winchester’s police chief
posted a letter warning people about two
specific drugs — a synthetic marijuana
known on the street as “Fruity Pebbles”
and a counterfeit Percocet pill that actually contains a much more potent pain
medication.
In December, the chief said his department had responded to at least 11 overdoses, one death, life-threatening injuries
and one serious accident pertaining to
those two synthetic drugs.
And it’s happening here in Cookeville,
Putnam County and the region.
“One likely candidate is that these drugs
are laced with Fentanyl,” Dr. Sullivan
Smith, emergency room director at
Cookeville Regional Medical Center,
said. “We can’t confirm that, but it’s suspected.”
He noted the dosage is different with
each drug, but with Fentanyl, it’s powerful even in a small dosage.
“The dosage is very dangerous,” he
said. “And with these street drugs, who
knows what you’re getting.”

MONTEREY — Tenure has
been granted to 19 Putnam
County teachers.
“The data was finalized some
months ago, but the start of the
new year just seemed to be a
good opportunity to recognize
our teachers who could join us
tonight who attained eligibility,”
Director of Schools Jerry Boyd
said during Thursday night’s
school board meeting.
Boyd explained that the process
of tenure — a policy that requires
a just-cause rationale for firing
teachers that is awarded after a
probationary period — has
shifted somewhat in recent years.
“Prior to 2011, the probationary
period was three years,” he said.
“After the third year, if a teacher
was recommended to be rehired
the next school year, they would
obtain tenure.”
The probationary period is now
five years, and teachers’ evaluation scores during the last two
years of that time are taken into
consideration.
“For all of our teachers who
know the number, that’s a 4 or 5
overall,” Boyd said before going
on to call out the names of Putnam County’s tenure considerations.
“These teachers all represent

PUTNAM COUNTY — Helping
Hands of Putnam County had an unusual year in 2015 — they averaged
fewer families needing help than normal and an abundance of food.
Last year an average of 270 families
per month came through Helping
Hands, but this year saw an average of
235 — for a grand total of 2,785 families served in 2015. They were those in
the community falling on hard times
and needing a little help with things
like food, utility payments, housing expenses, medical expenses or gas.
“We saw fewer families this year, but
those we have seen have had really serious health problems: people with cancer, children who have to go to
Vanderbilt several times a month,
things like that,” Debbie Handlson,
Helping Hands of Putnam County executive director, said. “A lot of the people we’re seeing now have jobs, but
they’re not great jobs. So if one thing
goes wrong — like a car repair or
they’re sick for a few days and don’t
get paid for that time off — it makes it
so they can’t afford food or their electric bill or things like that.”
Those who come in for help at Helping Hands aren’t what someone typically pictures when they imagine
someone who would be visiting a food
bank.
“A lot of people think that people who
come to us are lazy and have a lot of
children,” Handlson said. “The majority of the people we see have only one
or two in the household, and the majority of those are single, elderly people.
Somebody asked me, ‘Why do you
think that’s true?’ And I said, ‘I don’t
think there’s anything odd about that.
It’s that our perception about people
who come to a food bank is wrong.
We’re the ones who are assuming these
things about people who come for
help.’”
The organization got an unexpected
blessing this past year as a direct result
of the destructive ice storms that devastated the county in early 2015. At one

Legal question arises about Baxter Planning Commission
By MEGAN TROTTER
BAXTER — At the close of the January meeting of the Baxter Board of
Mayor and Aldermen, Alderman Willie
Allison brought it to the board’s attention that he felt like there was an issue
regarding the city’s Planning Commission that needed to be addressed.
“A few months ago we had a special
called meeting, and I came a little early
for the Planning Commission. ... I noticed that out of all the Planning Com-

mission members, there were two who
are not citizens of Baxter,” he said.
He researched this and found that the
city charter does require that the Planning Commission “consist of seven
members. One shall be the mayor, one
shall be a board member and five shall
be citizens of Baxter appointed by the
mayor.”
“That tells me that they should reside
in Baxter,” Allison said. “The reason
why I looked at that is because I have
someone sitting beside me (Alderman
Greg Phillips) who has been asking to
be on this board for a long time and
he’s lived here all his life. ... I have
nothing against these people, but you
have two people who don’t live inside
the city of Baxter who are making decisions about stuff that happens inside
these city limits that we live in.”
According to Allison, one of these
Planning Commission members is a
former resident of Baxter, while the
other owns land in Baxter.
“I own property in Cookeville. Just
because I own property in Cookeville,
that doesn’t mean that I can be elected

to any board in Cookeville,” he said.
“The way I see it is that we’re not in
compliance with this planning commission, so is everything that has happened
in the past, is it legal?”
He recommended that these two members be removed from the board and
two citizens be appointed in their
place.
As this was the first time this had
been brought to his attention, Baxter
Mayor Jeff Wilhite promised to research the issue and consider what
needed to be done.
The Sunset Rotary of Cookeville helped UCDD deliver food baskets to 250 families during
the holiday season. With the help of Rotary Club of Cookeville (noon), Citizen’s Bank,
F&M Bank, and Middle Tennessee Curb, approximately $1,400 was raised along with the
food donated. Pictured with some of the food collected are (front) president Tony Craighead and Victor Gernt, along with (back, from left) Steve York, Lauren Johnson, Holly

He noted Fentanyl is absorbed
through the skin through a patch
and even when it is dried on a
surface, it can still be absorbed
through the skin.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA),
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic
opiate analgesic similar to but
more potent than morphine. It is
a Schedule II prescription drug
used to treat patients with severe
pain or to manage pain after surgery.
Like heroin, morphine and
other opioid drugs, Fentanyl
works by binding the body’s
opiate receptors, highly concentrated in areas of the brain that
control pain and emotions.
When opiate drugs bind to these
receptors, they can drive up
dopamine levels in the brain’s
reward area, producing a state
of euphoria and relaxation.
Spice, also known as K2, is a
synthetic marijuana that is also
popping up here.
According to Smith, the effects
of that drug are very similar to
those of bath salts.
“They’ve become so potent
that the effects are very similar
to bath salts,” he said. “We can’t
tell them apart.”
Spice looks like herbal tobacco
or natural marijuana but is actually made from dried plant material and chopped up herbs in a
mixture of colors including
beige, cream, red and brown.
The active ingredients are
sprayed onto the plant material.
Since it’s coated with synthetic
cannabinoids, it’s completely
different than natural marijuana.
The national rise in the use of
this drug is alarming.
The problem lies with legal
control, both at the state and
federal levels.
“We’re seeing in the United
States one new synthetic drug
come out a week,” he said. “The
list is now around 400.”
He noted that the compounds
makes it hard to track.
“Those have not been synthesized by anybody,” he said.
“When you look at it from the
forensic side, there are no standards. The way you figure out
which ones are ‘better’ from the
user standpoint is that the compound stays around instead of
disappearing. Part of what
you’re seeing too is that you
buy a particular product — most
of it now gotten online, where
there’s less sense of control —
and you order more the next
week. It’s not exactly the same
thing. It may be a different compound, may be a different quantity...it is out of control.”
And that makes it hard to
track.
“Since we saw this trend hit
around two and a half, three
years ago, we’ve admitted 191
to our ICU,” he said. “The
longest stay is around 33 days.
And of those 191 cases, only
three had insurance. It’s a phenomenal expense.”
That’s only indicative of what
is seen locally.
“Imagine the cost nationwide,”
he said.
The northeast experienced this
same scenario with prescription
drug abuse and synthetics a few
years back.
Officials began to crack down
on the pill mills, which are the
source of the problem.
“When that happened, they
began to see a rise in heroin,” he
said. “Now, we’re starting to see
some heroin use in Cookeville.”
Meth is also still a big problem
in the area.
“We have more meth labs now
than we did in 2005 when the
Meth Free Tennessee law was
passed,” he said. “However,
they are different in the fact that
they are in the form of ‘shake
and bake’ labs.”
Treatment of overdoses also
depends on the timing.
“If medical intervention comes
in early, chances are good for a
recovery,” he said. “But if
treated too late, it’s not so
good.”
Bill Gibson, director of the
Power of Putnam anti-drug
coalition, agreed that this is a
war.
“They keep running ahead of
the laws by changing the formula a little bit to get outside of
the current statute,” he said.
“One of the biggest things that
we see with these current problems is a lack of appreciation by
the general public of the true
danger of these drugs.”
This has also morphed into a
situation that drugs that are
killing people are coming
through pharmaceutical companies and sources that we have
traditionally learned to trust.
“We trust our doctor to take
care of our physical health and
that if you’re buying something
through the pharmacy, it’s safe,”
he said. “If you talk about
heroin and opiates and some of
these pain killers, they are very
close in their addictiveness to
heroin, but the fact that they
come through proper channels
makes us question their safety.”
Power of Putnam has the goal
of educating the public on these
issues and work with law enforcement.
One of those ideas is a new
program called “Recovery is the
new high.”
“There are so many people
struggling and there can be a lot
of confusion in knowing when
to put the prescription down,”
he said. “At the same time, you
don’t want to be identified as a
druggie or junkie because after
all, you’re taking your prescription. We find it’s more difficult
for those who develop a physical addiction to come forward.
We’re trying to de-stigmatize
the idea of coming to get help.
It’s a good idea and it needs to
take place early.”
There are a number of ways to
prevent possible overdoses.
“Do not rely on friends or family members for medication,”
Detective Sells said. “Keep prescriptions away from children
and if any are stolen, report
what is missing and how much
to law enforcement.”
Anyone who suspects a problem should not hesitate to reach
out for help.

Fur Ball has secret agent theme

CHEVROLET
By MEGAN TROTTER
COOKEVILLE — It’s time
again to dance the night away at
the annual Fur Ball to benefit
the Cookeville/Putnam County
Animal Shelter. This 10th annual event will be held Saturday, Jan. 30, at the Leslie Town
Centre, with the theme is “Diamonds Are Fur Ever” — a
James Bond theme.
“Our goal is to have a first
class event that is formal but really fun, and raises lots of dollars and support for the animal
shelter,” said Linda Westin, director of the Friends of
Cookeville/Putnam County Animals.
Once the board chooses a
theme each year, the creative
minds of the volunteers go all
out to make sure guests are
given an impressive experience.
“One of my favorite days is
the day before the Fur Ball
when all the decor and design
ideas come together,” Westin
said. “It’s almost like magic in
that all kinds of parts and pieces
arrive and by the end of the day,
the room has been transformed
into a nightclub, an elegant garden or even some wonderful
far-away exotic location. This
year will be very secret agentlike, so all design is under tight
security, but I can guarantee you
that you will enjoy it, you will
laugh and you will have a great
time while supporting the animal shelter.”
Tickets are $125 per person
and includes cocktails, hors
d’oeuvres, a seated dinner,
silent auction, live auction and
dancing until midnight to the

Startling
predictions for 2016
B
esides producing silent,
toxic green clouds that
could peel paint and taking
the occasional pot roast off the
countertop for a walk, Irish
wolfhounds are known for being
just a little bit fey. They seem to
sense things the rest of us don’t.
Our boy Finn sometimes sits
wide-eyed, staring into distance
as if stricken
by second
sight. Which
is usually
when Oona
respectfully
tip-toes behind him and
snatches his
bone.
So, we were
a little surBob
prised when
McMillan
Oona, our girl
wolfhound,
pulled out a crystal ball on New
Year’s Day and issued a series of
startling predictions for 2016.
She’s usually not that good
around glass.
But, hey, why not? Soothsayers,
psychics and financial advisers
are already prediciting that Donald Trump will name Vladamir
Putin as his running mate in
2016, that drones will be used to
track terrorists, catch film pirates
and stop jaywalking and that after
a total economic collapse, string
cheese will be our new currency.
So, who’s to say my dog can’t tap
into the Akashic Record just as
well as any other reputable swami
or fortune teller?
So, practically word for word,
here’s Oona’s slightly dog-centric
forecast for the months ahead…
• Google will receive government approval to market its driverless cars and dogs will start
taking themselves to the park for
walks. Some dogs will also start
showing up at McDonald’s drivethrus testing whether the new vehicles are better at fast getaways
than they look. Incidents of driveby cat hazing will skyrocket.
• Thanks to “new and improved”
baby gates, dogs across the land
will have brief but alarming access to kitchen counters. Meat
sales will skyrocket, but the baby
gate industry will take a sizeable
hit.
• Cheese will rain from the sky
over three states after a freak
storm in Wisconsin in April. Dog
owners will fear a new cult has
taken hold after millions of dogs
sit in backyards staring up, wagging their tails.
• Archaeologists will discover
the Lost Continent of Atlantis
and, from hieroglyphics on a ru-
ined wall, learn that it was ruled
by an advanced species of canines from the Dog Star Sirius.
They sank the place when a cat
got loose in the island’s control
center and, on that fateful day, it
was the beagles’ turn to stand
guard.
• Researchers in Gdansk will release a paper suggesting that
weekly dog bathing promotes
rickets and dogs will get a break
from soap and water this summer... until the research is
roundly discredited in October
and there are howls of protest
across America.
• Thanks to a new interpretation
of the U.S. Constitution, an Irish
wolfhound will sit in the White
House after November when voters, weary of months of smears
and mudslinging, pick the most
charismatic and ethical candidate.
The new president will immediately issue an executive order declaring every Thursday “Take
Your Dog To the Steakhouse
Day.”
• Cats will lose their sneers
thanks to a series of cat control
bills enacted by Congress. Cats
who sit on bookcases and tip
books off on dogs’ heads will be
required to wear “Dogs Rule” Tshirts before being let indoors
again. Cats will be required to
wear leashes outdoors just like
dogs do. Several species of songbirds will bounce back from the
edge of extinction.
• Leash laws will be repealed in
16 states and humans will be required to balance a dog biscuit on
their nose before being allowed to
adopt canines in 4 other states
and the District of Columbia.
• Fireworks will be banned and
occasions like the 4th of July will
instead by celebrated with confetti poppers.
• Researchers at Columbia University will discover that, due to
statistical glitches and human
bias, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers and Pomeranians are not
actually the most intelligent dog
breeds. They’re simply more
eager to please to their humans.
When cheese bits are introduced
into the experiments, the Irish
wolfhound will be declared the
smartest breed on the planet.
And that’s the outlook from
Madame Oona. And, yes, she’s a
clever girl who’s counting heavily on your being too addled from
actual events in 2016 to keep
score on her accuracy...
Happy 2016, everyone!

Oregon civil disobedience:
Will it spread nationwide?
H
ave you taken sides in the eastern Oregon anti-government
standoff?
As you’ve probably heard, on January
2, a group of armed activists (Citizens
for Constitutional Freedom) seized
control of a federal building at Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge. They say
they’ve settled in for the long haul,
protesting the imprisonment of two
ranchers in particular and federal land
policies in general.
Most people in the eastern half of the
U.S. don’t realize it, but the federal
government owns nearly half the land
in the West. I hope this hoarding
doesn’t end tragically, with Uncle Sam
buried under a mountain of sagebrush
and his dog gnawing off his leg.
No reasonable person wants to see the
entire West converted into one big subdivision or one strip-mined wasteland.
Most of us have affection for the conservation principles of Pres. Theodore
Roosevelt. But perhaps Washington,
D.C. has turned TR’s “speak softly and
carry a big stick” mantra into “speak
lawyerese and carry a big stack of regulations.”
Certainly, we need some unspoiled
wilderness. As one federal spokesman
says, America’s parks and refuges
should be enjoyed by everyone — unless they’re too busy working three
jobs to pay for student loans, Obamacare premiums, etc.
I’m sure many in the bureaucracy
would love to see grazing ended alto-
Danny
Tyree
gether, thus eliminating the threat of
cow flatulence
melting the polar
ice caps and ending Life As We
Know It. This fits
in with the agenda
of the Office Of
Keeping Cows
From Waving
Confederate Flags
and the Office of
Preventing Bovine
Usage of Redskins
Jackets.
The Hollywood Liberal Elite have
been unsympathetic to the anti-tyranny
movement, but that may be changing,
now that the feds have claimed ownership of actor David Spade. (”What do
you mean, that’s an overreach of government authority?” blustered one official. “He’s David SPADE. And he
plays Joe DIRT. Could the federal jurisdiction be any clearer?”)
Some opponents of Citizens for Constitutional Freedom have tried playing
the race card, fuming that the feds are
going too easy on this bunch of Angry
White Men. Yeah, the ranchers really
flaunt those privileges — like encountering rattlesnakes and cougars, rebuilding fences in the hot sun and the
ultimate spa experience of delivering a
calf during a blizzard.
As with the outspokenness of Donald
Trump, a lot of people have a grudging
admiration for those who actually take
action. You know, “Everybody TALKS
about the weather, but nobody ever
waits until a holiday weekend and
seizes a weather station in the middle
of nowhere.”
The feds are in a quandary. Some officials urge patience and negotiation, lest
a confrontation turn into a bad-P.R.
bloodbath. But others want the protest
quashed quickly, reasoning that if the
authorities ignore the problem, other
groups of malcontents nationwide may
be emboldened to strike. Strange, this
is the same government that thinks ignoring Muslim extremists will inevitably lead to their women driving
topless to pick up bar mitzvah gifts.
If the Oregon protest doesn’t fizzle
out, it might inspire a coast-to-coast
Occupy Every Street phenomenon of
citizens defying zoning regulations, vehicle inspection fees, etc. (”So the
mayor’s butt-ugly daughter won the
beauty pageant four years in a row?
Town gazebo, meet my
Barcalounger.”)
I’ll leave you with the rancher movement’s theme song: “Home, home on
the range/Where pampered antelope
dismay/Where often is heard a discouraging word/And the rulebooks are
cloudy all day...”

Living for discoveries
One of the more profound discoveries
in life I was reminded of this past weekend came about as a dear friend of mine
asked me to get a pair of socks from his
dresser drawer. It was — in a word, a
mess. Reminded me of the fact that I no
longer have a wife to prompt me that I
could use some help in that area as well.
I happen to believe that we all have
areas in our daily lives that should be
evaluated as we move about among the
others we meet along the way. Fortunately, most of us do not have nosy
friends who notice our sock drawers and
those other infirmities, that could use
more closer attention. Since my friend
does not read this newspaper, he won’t
know about my discovery, but I do tell
him of other matters I discover as our relationships tend to grow stronger day by
day.
He needs help in so many other areas,
we will never get around to the matter of
the sock drawer, but that discovery reminded me of the need that we all have,
simply to be of assistance to others. You
know, the fact is, we are all magnificent
creations and we were placed here to be
of assistance to one another. The scriptures teach that we are to love one another and the most perfect example of
love can be found in the way we treat one
another.
And that process starts with learning
more about the others with whom we
share a space on this magnificent creation
on which we live out our lives. Sock
drawers aside, we all have needs, many
more obvious than others. Loving others
starts with our own admission that we are
not perfect. We may have been perfect at
birth; all four of my children were, as a
matter of fact; but time does tend to erode
our perfections. I certainly am not one of
those who seem to enjoy picking apart
the actions and observances of others and
my secret came about as I finally began
to realize the pure joy of merely, being of
assistance, whether it be with our friends
or even those who seem to enjoy being
our enemies.
To me, that has become my greatest discovery.

Tribute to Cody
Putnam County in general and the Putnam County Republican Party in particular has lost a giant of a man.
Noble Cody was the father of the present day Republican Party in Putnam
County.
He was a Republican when you had to
use a microscope to find one back some
30 to 40 years ago.
When I moved here in June of 1968, It
didn’t take long for Noble to approach
me about joining the local party. Back in
those days, they met in a telephone
booth. Noble, Luke Medley and “Bull”
Brown were about it. Hen’s teeth were
easier to find. Noble was the PCRP chairman, and meetings were held at his and
Jean’s office supply store.
A couple of years ago, we voted him
PCRP Chairman Emeritus, a position he
held until his passing.
Noble knew all the national elected officials and they all took his phone calls.
He and Jean also served as host and hostess at many fundraisers.
He leaves some really big shoes to fill.
We are better people for his friendship.
God speed and rest in peace, Noble.
You will always be lovingly remembered.

Where is common sense?
Think about this, please. Football players are suing the league for their concussions. Yes, we are sorry for their injuries
but race car drivers, boxers, hydroplane
racers, bull riders, bronc riders, hockey
players, bomb squad teams, action sports
participants, skiers, etc., etc., etc. KNOW
their sports or occupations are dangerous
but do them anyway. It’s what they
WANT to do, LOVE to do so WHY
would they expect to be successful suing
for any injuries?
I am reminded some years ago about
the lady who sued McDonald’s because
SHE spilled her hot coffee in her lap and
was burned and, if I remember correctly,
WON the suit! How ridiculous is that?
How loudly do you think she would have
complained if her coffee had NOT been
hot?
So MANY times I wonder WHERE
common sense has gone because it is certainly NOT displayed recently much of
the time!

Zoning issues highlight recent Cookeville City Council meeting
By TRACEY HACKETT
COOKEVILLE — Public hearings for
zoning issues generated conversation at
Thursday night’s meeting of the
Cookeville City Council.
Two zoning issues were on the agenda:
one that amends the code to allow a wireless communication tower on a legal nonconforming auto salvage yard and
another that would rezone a portion of
properties on Lone Oak Drive from residential to commercial.
In the issue regarding the allowance of
the cellular tower, Cookeville Planning
Director James Mills said the proposed
ordinance minimizes the impact of the
tower’s location while maintaining the
auto salvage yard’s current zoning as
local commercial and multi-family residential.
“This proposed ordinance maintains
current zoning so that the property develops according to the city’s long range
plan,” he told the council.
Upon the council’s approval on second
reading, the proposed ordinance would
allow negotiation between representatives
of the cellular tower company and the
auto salvage yard.
Cellular tower representatives present at
Thursday night’s meeting told the council
that the type of tower they have in mind
for the location is 150 feet tall, with no
lights and no guy-wires.
It would provide service for different
carriers.
Vice Mayor Larry Epps asked if the proposed ordinance would prevent the possible future rehabilitation of the property,
and Mills said it would not.
The first reading of the ordinance was
approved unanimously.
In the issue regarding the rezoning on
Lone Oak Drive, several residents of the
area spoke in concern of the possibility of
increased traffic.
The road runs perpendicular to South
Willow Avenue, and residents spoke of
the difficulty of making left-hand turns
from Lone Oak to South Willow already.
Mills told the council that the property
in question is a total of 1.6 acres.
With a 150-foot corridor of that property
to remain zoned residential, as the property adjacent to it is, the remainder of the
property would be zoned commercial.
A significant portion of that property already is surrounded on three sides by
properties zoned commercial.
Cookeville Mayor Ricky Shelton said
the neighborhood is where he calls home.
“This is my neighborhood, and I think
this is a fair compromise. It’s better than
all the other possible alternatives,” he
said.
The owners of the property who petitioned for the zoning change say they will
prohibit tractor trailer access on the road.
The portion of the property that will be
zoned commercial may also have an outlet to County Services Drive, in which
case the traffic issue on Lone Oak Drive
would be greatly reduced.
Some property owners requested about
getting a traffic light at the intersection
with Lone Oak and South Willow.
Public Works Director Greg Brown said
the issue was considered two to three
years ago, and at that time, the location
did not meet the warrants considered by
the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
Those warrants include traffic flow,
number of accidents, waiting times and
distance to other signals, he said.
The council also unanimously approved
the first reading of that ordinance.
In other business, the council approved:
• Construction bids for the Bennett Road
extension project, one of which will extend from Interstate 40 to Buffalo Valley
Road and the other of which will extend
from Buffalo Valley Road to Highway 70.
Rogers Group, Inc. provided both low
bids for the project, one coming in at $4.5
million and the other coming in at $4.7
million.
• Purchase of 22 computer mounts and
six tablets for use in Cookeville Police
Department vehicles. Chief Randy Evans
told the council that the majority of the
purchase can be grant funded, and that the
difference can be made up by revenue recently generated by the department.
• The purchase of up to 200 tons of deicing salt.
• And the purchase of a new pump for
the water treatment plant.
TTU to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day with events, silent march
TTU — Tennessee Tech University will host a series of
events Jan. 17-19 to celebrate the
Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
“This year’s celebration is a
focus on civic and social responsibility,” said English instructor
Andy Smith, who serves on
TTU’s Commission on the Status
of Blacks. “Last year was the
50th anniversary of the civil
rights march in Selma, and we
had a large turnout from the
community to mark this important occasion. 2016 is a major
election year, so we’ve focused
on young people this year – one
of the least engaged constituents
when it comes to voting.
“Engagement, enfranchisement
and empowerment defined the
civil rights struggle in the past
and these things remain just as
important for all citizens today.”
The events begin with a screening of the 2015 movie “Selma” at
7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 17, in the
Johnson Hall Auditorium. A brief
conversation of the movie’s history and cultural impact will follow.
A day of service activities will
The events are coordinated by
TTU’s Commission on the Status
of Blacks, and supported by the

U.S. stock market drops, ending its worst week since 2011
By MARLEY JAY
AP Markets Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — A wave of
late selling pummeled U.S. stocks
Friday and pushed the market to
its worst week in four years.
The dismal start to the new year
comes as investors worry that
China’s huge economy is slowing
down. That has helped send the
price of oil plunging to its lowest
level since 2004, the latest blow to
U.S. energy companies.
Industrial and technology companies such as Boeing and Apple
that do a lot of business in China
have also fallen sharply this week.
Mining companies such as
Freeport-McMoRan plunged as
copper prices have fallen. China is
a major importer of copper.

Stocks started the day higher,
driven in part by news of an encouraging burst in hiring last
month by U.S. employers.
China’s stock market also rose 2

somewhat after steep drops earlier
in the week triggered trading halts.
Indexes wavered between small
gains and losses for most of the
day, but took a decisive turn lower

in the last hour of trading. That
made this the worst week since
September 2011, when the market
was roiled by the fight over the
U.S. debt ceiling and Standard &
Poor’s move to cut the credit rating of the U.S. government.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 167.65 points, or 1
percent, to 16,346.45. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell
21.06 points, or 1.1 percent, to
1,922.03. The Nasdaq composite
index shed 45.80 points, or 1 percent, to 4,643.63.
The Dow and S&P 500 are each
down about 6 percent for the
week. The Nasdaq composite fell
even more, 7.3 percent. That
index is heavily weighted with
technology and biotech companies, both of which were highfliers last year.
The largest losses on Friday
went to financial stocks. JPMorgan Chase lost $1.35, or 2.2 percent, to $58.92 and Citigroup fell
$1.43, or 3 percent, to $46.13.
Health care stocks slumped, led
by drug companies. Energy stocks
also skidded as the price of oil, already at decade lows, continued to
fall.
European stocks also rose early
in the day, but couldn’t hang on.
The FTSE 100 index of leading
British shares declined 0.7 percent
while Germany’s DAX lost 1.3
percent. The CAC-40 in France
slid 1.6 percent.
The same pattern held in the
U.S. In its monthly jobs report, released before the stock market
opened, the Labor Department
said U.S. employers added
292,000 jobs in December, far
more than economists had forecast.
That’s the latest sign the U.S.
economy is still growing. On average employers added 284,000

jobs per month in the fourth quarter, the best rate in a year.
Michael Fredericks, portfolio
manager for BlackRock MultiAsset Income Fund, said the labor
market is healthy and wages could
improve this month. “These are
unusually strong job creation
numbers,” he said.
Fredericks said the low wage
growth and limited inflation will
make the Federal Reserve proceed
cautiously as it raises interest
rates. In December the Fed raised
rates for the first time in nine
years, but interest rates are still
very low.
Throughout the week, worries
about China’s economy and
shocks to its markets have canceled out positive news from the
U.S. and Europe. While China’s
economy is still growing, that
growth isn’t as fast as it has been.
That could hurt sales of everything from iPhones to oil and
heavy machinery.
Oil prices also lost ground. U.S.
crude fell 11 cents to close at
$33.16 a barrel in New York and
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, declined 20 cents
to $33.55 a barrel in London.
Exxon Mobil lost $1.54, or 2
percent, to $74.69 and Tesoro fell
$5.41, or 5 percent, to $101.62.
This week retailers started disclosing their holiday-season results. Gap and American Eagle
both reported disappointing sales.
Gap stock dropped $3.83, or 14.3
percent, to $22.91, its lowest in almost four years. American Eagle
tumbled $2.64, or 16.6 percent, to
$13.24.
Department stores were among
the biggest losers on the S&P 500.
Their holiday sales have been hurt
by the unusually warm winter
weather. Kohl’s fell $2.98, or 5.9
percent, to $47.88 and Macy’s lost
$1, or 2.7 percent, to $35.89.

Tire dumping poses
problem in
Chattanooga
CHATTANOOGA (AP) — A
Marion County sheriff’s detective on patrol has been targeting
a slow-moving truck loaded
with scrap tires.
Sheriff Bo Burnett tells the
Chattanooga Times Free Press
(bit.ly/1PPaJ9L) that someone
has been dumping hundreds of
tires along the highway, apparently tossing them from a vehicle every 20 to 30 feet. The tires
pose a threat to motorists who
sometimes have to dodge them
in the roadway.
Burnett has assigned one detective to work on the case full
time.
But Marion County is only a
small part of the tire dumping
problem. It’s an urban issue, too.
It’s become so bad in Chattanooga that Public Works Director Lee Norris is asking the
City Council to adopt a new ordinance to crack down on dealers he suspects of dumping used
tires
MTSU investigates
athletics sex
discrimination
accusations
MURFREESBORO (AP) —
Middle Tennessee State University has confirmed that schools
officials are investigating accusations of sexual discrimination
within the university’s athletics
department.
According to an email sent to
athletics department personnel
Nov. 6 and obtained Wednesday by The Daily News Journal, Title IX officer Marian
Wilson said the Institutional
Equity and Compliance Office
began investigating the department after learning of allegations of sexual discrimination.
Officials have not said
whether the investigation involves an athlete, team, coach
or athletics department administrator.
MTSU Athletics Director
Chris Massaro confirmed an investigation is ongoing but could
not elaborate further.
Memphis airport
shows progress in
reducing airfares
MEMPHIS (AP) — Memphis International Airport officials are reporting progress in
reducing historically high airfares.
Airport officials tell The
Commercial Appeal that Department of Transportation
data showed the average airfare at Memphis has come
down more than $93 since
2012. That drops the Memphis
airport to 30th most expensive
among the top 100 airports in
the latest government tally.

Johnson City residents rush to aid of injured pig
By TONY CASEY
The Johnson City Press
JOHNSON CITY (AP) — Why did the
pot-bellied pig cross the road?
Currently, no one has the answer.
But what they do have is the kindness,
care and effort to help out the domesticated pet, which got into a serious scrape
with a car in a Johnson City neighborhood.
Dan Reese said he discovered the approximately 60-pound injured pig in the
alley behind his house around 9 a.m.
Wednesday and immediately called for
extra help. Someone from the Washington
County-Johnson City Animal Shelter was
there soon after to check out the obviously
beaten-up pig.
“I stood there with it, making sure it was
going to be OK, though it was in shock,”
Tony Casey | The Johnson City Press via AP
A pot-bellied pig stands in a section at Mountain Empire Large Animal Hospital in Johnson City.
Reese said. “It’s not just a pig. It’s a creature that deserves as much respect as a
dog. To me, I wanted to make sure it was
OK.”
It looks like it is going to be OK, said
Debbie Dobbs, animal shelter director.
The pig was taken to the Mountain Empire Large Animal Hospital in Boones
Creek for treatment. After 6 to 8 weeks of
special care and antibiotics, the pig, which
suffered no broken bones, is expected to
make a full recovery, Dobbs said.
“I hope an owner comes forward,”
Dobbs said. “We could use help to care
for her. This particular pig, she’ll need
care, long-term care to help heal her.”
That care will come at a cost if an owner
doesn’t step forward. When keeping the
injured pig at the shelter, she’ll need extra
funds for antibiotics. Luckily, the kindness of others is expected to pick up the
tab.
Jodi Jones, with the Southside Neighborhood Organization where the pig was
found, said anyone looking to contribute
to a fund specifically for the care of this
pig can check the group’s Facebook page
for a way to do so.
Reese and Dobbs both applaud any extra
community financial effort to help out the
creature who is currently down on her
health.
“It’s nice to see that we take care of all
creatures in our community,” Reese said.
Dobbs said this pig appeared to have
lived a troubled life before this accident,
missing one of her ears and having several
scars from the past. She hopes it’s either
claimed or cared for by a loving owner,
though the shelter is equipped to handle a
pig, because it’s not completely uncommon for it to get the animals.
Anyone who wants to donate to directly
to the care of this particular pig, or any animal at the shelter, can do so by making a
special donation through the shelter’s
website, www.tailchaser.org.
Tennessee lawmakers return with eye toward campaign season
By ERIK SCHELZIG
Associated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee lawmakers return Tuesday for the second session of the
109th General Assembly with an
eye toward quickly disposing of
their business and heading home
for election season.
All 99 House seats are up in
November, along with 16 of 33
Senate seats. Given the overwhelming Republican advantages in both chambers, the
April 7 candidate filing deadline
will be key to incumbents looking to avoid primary challenges.
In the past, politically difficult
bills have been pushed until
after the filing deadline to give
lawmakers without serious opposition the freedom to cast
tough votes. But given the recent trend of wrapping up the
session in mid-April, there
wouldn’t likely be much time
left to tackle controversial issues.
One major issue giving election-minded Republicans
heartache is Gov. Bill Haslam’s
push to increase funding for the
state’s roads, most likely
through Tennessee’s first gas tax
hike in more than 25 years.
Haslam told reporters this
week that he still hasn’t made up
his mind whether to make the
road funding proposal this year
or next — though he acknowledged that several lawmakers
have told him the case hasn’t
been made to the public for why
the state needs more money to
maintain and build roads.
“There’s a lot of sentiment out
there that folks say we need to
do a better job of explaining to
citizens around the state why we
need to do something different
than we are now,” Haslam said.
“My main point to legislators
has been that this is not something we can put off for five
years.”
Some lawmakers would be
more comfortable with more
limited approaches to raising
money, such as adding fees on
electric cars, replenishing
money taken from the road fund
in past years to bridge budget
gaps or raising the tax on diesel.
“I’m open to the piecemeal solutions,” Haslam said. “I just
don’t want anybody to kid themselves that that’s a long-term answer to our issue around
infrastructure.”
Other issues lawmakers expect
to tackle this year include:
INSURE TENNESSEE:
Haslam’s cautious approach toward a gas tax hike differs from
last year’s headlong dive into a
special session about Medicaid
expansion, which occurred even
though he privately acknowledged going in that he didn’t yet
have the votes among fellow
Republicans to pass the meas-
ure. That never changed, and his
Insure Tennessee proposal was
quickly defeated in the Senate.
Despite pleading by the hospital
lobby and Democrats to revive
the measure, Haslam has said
there would have to be a significant change in the political landscape for that to happen. “It
wasn’t like we just barely lost,”
he said in a recent speech to the
Rotary Club in Nashville.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN: A
long-awaited Vanderbilt study
on pre-K did little to quell the
political disagreements about
the program aimed at 4-yearolds from low-income families,
which Democrats want to expand to more classrooms around
the state. Senate Speaker Ron
Ramsey, R-Blountville, and
other opponents of expansion
say the study confirmed that
pre-K does little to improve the
long-term achievements of participants, but he also acknowledged that there is little chance
that lawmakers will scale back
the program.
MUNICIPAL BROADBAND: A federal decision overruling state laws that prevent
utilities in Chattanooga and
other cities from offering superfast Internet to communities outside their service areas has led
some lawmakers to call for a
change in the state law to allow
the practice while legal challenges work their way through
the courts. But many lawmakers
are sympathetic to the arguments of telecommunications
companies that public utilities
have an unfair advantage over
the private sector. Meanwhile,
Haslam’s office has initiated a
statewide assessment of broadband availability and usage.

In final State of Union, Obama aims to define his presidency
WASHINGTON (AP) — Out of time to
push a new legislative agenda, President
Barack Obama will look past Congress
and to the American people in his final
State of the Union address, aiming to define his presidency and his legacy before
others can do it for him.
For his seventh address, Obama plans to
skips the traditional list of grand proposals, new policies and presidential appeals
for new laws in favor of a broad overview
of what he has accomplished since 2009
and what is undone in his final year in office. Aides said the president on Tuesday
night will give his assessment of what the
country looks like in 2016 and the direction he hopes it will take in the future.
To the extent he can, Obama will try to
give a burst of energy to initiatives he is
hoping to push past beyond the life of his
administration.
Advisers who met with Obama as he
readied his recent executive actions on
gun control said the president gave this
guidance: “Everything this year should be
infused with a sense of possibility” and
“don’t take the foot off the gas pedal.”
Despite his inevitable slide into lameduck status and the partisan politics of the
election year, Obama is emboldened by
recent successes that formed one of the
most productive stretches in his presidency.
Over the past year, Obama has reached
a nuclear deal with Iran, relaunched diplomatic relations with Cuba, secured a

IOut of time to push a new legislative agenda, a battle-hardened President Barack Obama will look straight past Congress and to the American people in his final State of the Union address, aiming to define
his presidency and his legacy before others can do it for him.
global climate pact and an Asia-Pacific
trade deal, and negotiated a budget deal
with the Republican-led Congress. Unemployment has fallen to 5 percent and renewed confidence in the economy has led
the Federal Reserve to start raising interest
rates.
Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, said Obama planned in his speech
to cite those achievements to argue that
“we’ve brought America back.”
While Obama wants to keep the momentum going, the presidential campaign may
drown him out. The White House scheduled this year’s speech earlier than usual,
in part to ensure Obama had room to maneuver before voters get their first say —
the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.
To the dismay of some in his party,
Obama doesn’t plan to use the address as
an opening argument for Democratic candidates in the November election. White
House officials said the president would
have ample opportunities to frame the
campaign.
Still, anything Obama says or does in an
election year raises the political heat. For
example, Republicans have seized on
Obama’s unilateral moves to tighten gun
policies, a topic for Tuesday’s speech, as
the latest example of why voters cannot
trust Democrats.
“The president hasn’t had a problem getting attention for what he’s proposed as
important issues we should be focused
on,” said Jen Psaki, the White House communications director. She said those issues
often have spilled over into the campaign.
“Because of his decision to be bold, we
fully anticipate that will continue.”
Obama’s best prospects for achievements this year are on issues where he and
Congress at least partially agree. Central
to his speech will be a renewed call for a
criminal justice overhaul and for approval
of the Asia-Pacific trade agreement, which
many Republicans support.
He will face a less receptive crowd when
it comes to foreign policy and homeland
security. Republicans and even many Democrats say his strategy for fighting the
Islamic State group is ineffective.
Obama insists he has not abandoned a
campaign promise to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, although GOP opposition has made that difficult to fulfill. Last
year the White House said Obama would
send Congress a new plan for closing the
detention center, but there have been
seemingly endless delays.
Republicans have urged the president to
leave Guantanamo, guns and other contentious issues out of his speech if he is serious about wanting to make progress
before his term ends.
“He has a decision to make,” Sen. Rob
Portman, R-Ohio, said in an interview. “Is
he going to run his last year of his presidency in a political manner or is he actually going to focus on getting stuff done?”
Added Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.:
“If he will focus on what he agrees on
with Congress instead of what we disagree on, there’s quite a bit we could get
done in 2016.”
Republican Gov. Nikki Haley of South
Carolina discussed as a potential vice
presidential candidate, will give her
party’s response to Obama’s address.
Obama plans visits to Nebraska on
Wednesday and Louisiana on Thursday to
make the case for his priorities.
Congressman wants Aloha wear allowed on House floor
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) —
A Hawaii Congressman wants
Aloha wear to be allowed on the
House floor on Fridays, a
change from the current rule that
requires full business attire.
U.S. Rep. Mark Takai, a
Hawaii Democrat, said in a letter
to Speaker of the House Paul
Ryan that he wants his fellow
federal lawmakers to be able to
observe Aloha Fridays just like
Hawaii’s Legislature. On Fridays, it’s common for business
people to wear Hawaiian shirtsthe loose-fitting button-downs
featuring flora, ukuleles, surfers,
and other island themes.
Takai, the ranking member of
the House Small Business Committee’s Subcommittee on Con-
tracting and the Workforce,
wrote that allowing Aloha shirts
would support small business
and promote a custom that is
unique to Hawaii. He said the
modern Aloha shirt started being
sold from a Chinese dry goods
shop in 1931. By 1962, they
were being promoted as workplace attire. Aloha Friday was
officially set in 1966.
“Today, Aloha shirts are more
popular than ever,” the letter
says. “What started off in a small
store on North King St. in Honolulu is now a major fashion enterprise and a half a billion dollar
a year industry.”
But the request is about more
than adopting casual fashion, the
congressman said.

Associated Press
Brothel owner to run
for Nevada Senate
seat
RENO, Nev. (AP) — The
owner of the Nevada brothel
where former NBA and reality TV star Lamar Odom was
found unconscious is making
a bid for a state Senate seat.
The Reno Gazette-Journal
reports that Dennis Hof announced this week that he
will run for the seat held by
Sen. Greg Brower of Reno.
Hof says he will run as a
Libertarian.
Brower, a Republican, announced in September that he
will not seek re-election.
Former Assemblywoman
Heidi Gansert, a Republican,
is also campaigning for the
seat.
Hof owns the Love Ranch
and other legal brothels
throughout the state.
The Love Ranch is where
Odom was staying in October
when he was found unresponsive. Search warrant records
revealed authorities believed
Odom had overdosed on cocaine and other drugs.
FBI investigating
another fatal
Chicago police
shooting
CHICAGO (AP) — The
FBI is conducting a civil
rights investigation into the
fatal shooting of a motorist
in 2013 by Chicago police
officers.
The Chicago Tribune reports that a brief mention of
the case was contained in
thousands of pages of emails
related to police shootings
that the city released on New
Year’s Eve.
According to sworn depositions by two officers, Esau
Castellanos was speeding at
80 mph and crashed on the
Northwest Side. They say
that when they approached,
Castellanos opened fire. His
family disputes that, and no
gun was ever found.
The officers fired, hitting
him three times.
FBI spokesman Garrett
Croon told the newspaper it
has been investigating the
shooting.
The officers were placed on
administrative duty only
when the newspaper inquired about their status Friday.
‘Ritualistic sacrifice’
investigated in
child’s death
CALLAWAY, Fla. (AP) —
Authorities say a Florida
mother who killed her 3year-old son and stuffed him
into a suitcase tried to buy a
bus ticket out of town
shortly after the killing.
Bay County Sheriff Frank
McKeithen says the child’s
27-year-old mother, Egypt
Moneeck Robinson, faces a
murder charge. He said “ritualistic sacrifice” is among
the possible reasons the boy
was killed. His body was
found Dec. 29 behind their
house near Panama City.
The News Herald of
Panama City reports that the
woman made statements
while being taken to the hospital about needing to save
the child from the end of the
world.
Authorities recently said
Robinson asked a clerk for a
bus ticket to Ohio.
She is being held without
bond and has denied media
requests for interviews.
BURNS, Ore. (AP) — The leader of an
armed group occupying a national
wildlife refuge to protest federal land
management policies said he and his followers are not ready to leave even
though the sheriff and many locals say
the group has overstayed its welcome.
On Friday, Ammon Bundy, leader of
the group that on Jan. 2 seized the headquarters of the refuge in southeastern
Oregon, said: “How long will this go on?
We say to you, ‘Not a minute too early.’
“
Bundy met Thursday with Harney
County Sheriff David Ward, who asked
Bundy to heed the will of locals and
leave the Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge. Ward also offered to escort
Bundy and his group out of the refuge to
ensure safe passage.
“We will take that offer,” Bundy said
on Friday. “But not yet.”
A few hours later, Ward said via Twitter
that because of Bundy’s stance he was
calling off plans to have another meeting
with him.
“During this morning’s press conference, the people on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge made it clear that
they have no intention of honoring the
sheriff’s request to leave. Because of
that, there are no planned meetings or
calls at this time,” Ward said.
But Ward said he is “keeping all options open.”
About the same time, members of another armed group known as the 3% of
Idaho began arriving at the bird sanctuary, The Oregonian reported.
“They just keep an eye on everything
that is going on to make sure nothing
stupid happens,” Bundy told The Oregonian on Friday afternoon outside
refuge headquarters.
“If they weren’t here,” Bundy said, referring to the Idaho group, “I’d worry”
about a Waco, Texas-style siege by federal officials in the early 1990s.
Spokesmen for the Idaho group said
they are there to keep the situation
peaceful and reassure the community
that it isn’t in danger.
Bundy’s group — calling itself Citizens
for Constitutional Freedom — comes
from as far away as Arizona and Michigan.
Bundy’s protest at the refuge is a continuation of long-running arguments that
federal policies for management of public lands in the West are harming ranchers and other locals. Bundy is the son of
Cliven Bundy, a Nevada rancher who in
2014 was at the center of a tense standoff
with federal officials over grazing rights.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)
— An Iraqi man bragged about
his experience fighting in Syria
and the skills he developed as a
teenage insurgent as he urged a
fellow Iraqi refugee in the U.S.
to join him in what both hoped
would be martyrdom, according
to documents filed in federal
court.
Aws Mohammed Younis AlJayab, 23, of Sacramento, described his experience fighting
against Syrian government soldiers in heroic terms and promised in 2013 he would train
Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, of
Houston, in how to use weapons
and sneak into Syria to join the
fight, according to an FBI affidavit unsealed in federal court
in Sacramento.
The two Iraqi-born Palestinians used social media to discuss
their plans, according to federal
authorities. The communications provided the link that led
to terrorism-related charges
against the men this week.
Al-Jayab faces up to eight
years in prison on charges of
traveling to Syria to fight in late
2013 and early 2014 and lying
to U.S. authorities about his
travels. Al Hardan faces up to 25
years in prison and is charged
with attempting to provide material support for terrorists.
Al-Jayab’s attorney on Friday
criticized U.S. politicians who
he said “have grossly mischaracterized the nature and scope
of this case” to tie it to the debate over whether the United
States is doing enough to screen
refugees.
“There is no threat that this
man poses or no indication that
he’s engaged in any activity
since his return two years ago.
The only activities that were interrupted were his studies and
his work,” defense attorney Ben
Galloway said outside the courtroom.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Carolyn
Delaney ordered him held without bail.

Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward meets with Ammon Bundy at a remote

County be turned over to local residents
to be managed.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown on Thursday
called the occupation of the wildlife
refuge “unlawful” and said it had to end.
“It was instigated by outsiders whose
tactics we Oregonians don’t agree with.
Those individuals illegally occupying
the Malheur Wildlife Refuge need to decamp immediately and be held accountable,” she said.
Federal, state and local law authorities
have been closely monitoring the situation at the refuge but have so far taken
no action against Bundy and his followers, apparently to avoid a confrontation.
Ward has been the most visible law enforcement authority during the occupation, and his strategy so far has been to
try to show Bundy that locals oppose the
occupation and want them to leave.
Ward got a lot of support during a
packed community meeting Wednesday
night.
At that meeting, local residents said
they sympathized with the armed
group’s complaints about federal land
management but disagreed with their
tactics and called Bundy and his followers to leave.
Bundy initially came to Burns to rally
support for two local ranchers who were
sentenced to prison on arson charges.
The ranchers — Dwight Hammond and
his son Steven Hammond — distanced
themselves from Bundy’s group and reported to prison Monday.
The Hammonds were convicted of
arson three years ago and served no
more than a year. A judge later ruled that
the terms fell short of minimum sentences requiring them to serve about four
more years.

Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, left, is escorted by U.S. Marshals into the Bob Casey Federal Courthouse on Friday in
Houston. He was indicted Wednesday on three charges
that he tried to provide material support to extremists.
Al Hardan met online, although
the FBI affidavit describes at
least one apparently mutual acquaintance.
The criminal complaint against
Al-Jayab recounts a series of
communications with different
people, none of whom is identified. One called “Individual I”
is Al Hardan, according to Lauren Horwood, a spokeswoman
for the U.S. attorney in Sacramento.
Federal authorities say AlJayab emigrated from Syria to
the United States as a refugee in
October 2012, living in Tucson,
Arizona, and Milwaukee until
November 2013, when he went
back overseas to fight.
He returned to the United
States in January 2014 and lived
in Sacramento. He has been a
computer science major at a
Sacramento community college
since last fall.
told authorities he had traveled
to Turkey to visit his grandmother, which prosecutors say
was a lie that could send him to
prison.
Court documents rely heavily
on Al-Jayab’s social media communication, much of which is in
Arabic, travel records and Internet IP addresses. Prosecutors
did not provide additional information.
In several messages, Al-Jayab
criticized Islamic State for
killing Muslims, although he
later described fighting alongside the group.
“If it weren’t for the State’s
bloodletting, I would have been
the first one to join it,” he said,
according to the FBI.
Al Hardan, 24, appeared in a
Houston federal court Friday.
Prosecutors charged him with
attempting to support the Islamic State and accused him of
providing resources to the group
Al-Jayab and Al Hardan communicated in April 2013, and Al
Hardan expressed interest in
fighting in Syria.
“O God, grant us martyrdom
for your sake while engaged in
fighting and not retreating; a
martyrdom that would make
you satisfied with us,” Al-Jayab
wrote to Al Hardan, according
to court documents.
Al-Jayab said he had already
fought in Syria, starting when he
turned 16, according to messages between the two men
quoted in court documents. He
promised to provide weapons
training to Al Hardan and advised him on how he would be
assigned to the battlefield once
he arrived in Syria.
Authorities say Al-Jayab
fought twice in Syria, including
with a group later affiliated with
Islamic State between November 2013 and January 2014. He

beginning around May 2014.
Court documents did not provide specifics about the allegations.
Al Hardan told the judge he
lives in a Houston-area apartment, is married and has a child.
He was appointed an attorney,
David Adler, who did not immediately return messages seeking
comment.
Al Hardan’s brother said his
sibling told him Friday in a telephone call from the Federal Detention Center in Houston that
he is innocent of the charges he
faces.
Saeed Faraj Saeed Al Hardan
of Houston said their family had
always felt that “ISIS is no
good” and “ISIS is not Muslim.”
Federal officials say two of AlJayab’s brothers in Milwaukee
and a cousin in California also
were arrested but those arrests
are not related to national security.

N. Korea defiance challenges
moral authority of nuclear club
By ERIC TALMADGE and
JON CHOL JIN
Associated Press
PYONGYANG, North Korea
(AP) — When North Korea
claimed triumphantly that it had
tested its first hydrogen bomb, it
was roundly and predictably
condemned by the United States,
China, Russia, Britain, France
and India, countries estimated to
possess a combined total of more
than 15,000 nuclear warheads.
Non-nuclear powers condemned the test, too, including
Japan, the country that was on
the receiving end of the only
atomic bomb attack in history —
the U.S. bombing that ended
World War II in the Pacific in
1945.
But while most of the world,
East and West, agrees that no one
wants North Korea to be an effectively functioning nuclear
power, a question that can’t be
escaped lurks behind the condemnation: How much right do
nations have to tell other nations
what to do? Moreover, how
much of a right do nuclear powers, which have no intention of
giving up their own arsenals,
have to demand others to give up
theirs?
North Korea, of course, says
none.
In a show of defiance and nationalist pride that is so characteristic of the North, masses of
North Koreans filled Pyongyang’s Kim Il Sung Square
on Friday, which happened to
also be leader Kim Jong Un’s
birthday, to celebrate their military’s new crown jewel. Fireworks and dancing parties were
held after the rally.
“This hydrogen bomb test represents the higher stage of development of our nuclear arms,”
Pak Pong Ju, North Korea’s premier, told the crowd, which officials said was 100,000-strong.
“It will go down in history as a
perfect success and now the
DPRK is proud to be ranked
among nuclear states possessing
hydrogen bombs. The Korean
people can demonstrate the
stamina of a dignified nation
with the strongest nuclear deterrent.”
The North’s official name is the
Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea.
With its latest test last Wednesday, which may or may not have
been of an H-bomb — outside
expert opinion remains divided
— it is treading further down a
dangerous, but well-worn, path.
As has been the case with every
nation that went nuclear, possession of such weapons is seen by
the North’s regime as a strategic
necessity. That’s why decades of
pleading with and punishing the
North simply haven’t worked.
Developing a credible nuclear
force is in the long run cheaper
for Pyongyang and far more
likely to be successful than
building and maintaining the
massive and highly sophisticated
conventional forces that would
be needed to deter the United
States. Though mega weapons
like the H-bomb have become
largely irrelevant to superpower
military planners, who now have
the technology to conduct precision attacks that are far more effective and less likely to generate
universal condemnation, it’s the
kind of threat that still works for
Pyongyang.
Its self-defense claim is also
hardly extraordinary. It has been
used by all of the nuclear powers.
After dropping its first nuclear
weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States went on
to develop its arsenal of nuclear
doomsday devices because of
what it saw as the threat of Soviet aggression. The Soviets
made the same claim, but about
the U.S. Some European allies,
not wanting to be too dependent
on the U.S., followed Washington’s lead. The Chinese, worried
about both Washington and
Moscow, got one of their own.
India got the bomb because of
Pakistan, and Pakistan because
of India. And Israel is believed to
have nuclear weapons because
of its neighbors.
None has given up their nuclear
arsenals. The recent nuclear deal
between the U.S. and Iran may
have made a dent in Pyongyang’s thinking, but two
countries that did start down that
path and failed — Iraq and Libya
— appear to still weigh much
more heavily.
“The Saddam Hussein regime
in Iraq and the Gadhafi regime in
Libya could not escape the fate
of destruction after being deprived of their foundations for
nuclear development and giving
up nuclear programs of their own
accord, yielding to the pressure
of the U.S. and the West keen on
their regime changes,” the Korean Central News Agency said
in an editorial Friday.
If, as North Korea claims, it is
trying to defend itself against a
nuclear-armed adversary bent on
regime change and with which it
is actually at war — the 1950-53
Korean War ended in an
armistice, not a peace treaty —
why should its claim to have a
right to possess nuclear weapons
be treated any differently from
other nuclear powers?
For the nuclear haves, that’s not
even worth considering — North
Korea is too irresponsible, too
unpredictable and too untrustworthy for it to be a valid question.
“There is no need to argue
about why North Korea can’t
have nuclear arsenal while other
countries have already become
nuclear powers,” said Shi Yinhong, one of China’s best-known
international relations scholars at
Renmin University and a sometime government adviser. “All
the nuclear powers such as U.S.,
China, France, the U.K. and Russia are responsible major countries in this field.”
“Of course, decades of antagonism between the U.S. and North
Korea helped the North Korean
leader to make up his mind to go
nuclear, but it is not the main reason,” Shi added. “The main reason for the North to go nuclear is
the need of the North Korean
regime to hold on to its autocratic power.”
China, however, also conducted
its first tests under an autocrat,
Mao Zedong.
Like North Korea, India is also
deeply proud of its nuclear program and sensitive to any criticism of it, particularly when it
comes from other nuclear powers, and the United States, along
with most of the world, has accepted India as a de facto nuclear
weapons state.
But unlike North Korea, that
was in large part because a nuclear India served the interests of
at least some of the status quo.
“To put it crudely, it’s about
China,” said Rahul Bedi, a
prominent New Delhi-based
writer on defense issues. As
China’s power has grown in recent years, the West has sought
allies to balance out Beijing’s
ever-growing influence. India,
with its growing economy, regional influence and democratic
government, was pretty much
the only choice. “The world, and
the Western world in particular,
needs a frontline state, in a sense,
to challenge the Chinese.”
Although Pyongyang is hoping
that, like India, given enough
time the world will simply have
to accept it a nuclear power, it is
for now truly going forward on
its own.

How to read a dog? The ears never lie
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I
have summarized in detail the facts
proving that the defendant, Mr. Fido,
embezzled his company’s pension fund,
as charged. But I close by asking you to
remember the most incriminating testimony of all – Mr. Fido’s ears. When Mr.
Buster testified that Mr. Fido spent company funds on condos, diamonds and
cars for his girlfriend, Ms. Foxie, Mr.
Fido’s ears drooped in shame. When officers testified about the bags of cash
they found buried in Mr. Fido’s yard, his
ears covered his eyes to hide the truth.
The facts of this case, the forged signatures and the shifted funds pale before
the truth of the ears. I ask you to find Mr.
Fido guilty of all charges!
This is a hypothetical courtroom scene
from a television concept developed by
this author called “Legal Earful.” This
show will combine the popularity of a
crime and law suspense drama with the
quirky twist that people have dogs’ ears.
Perky, floppy, large, wide, round or narrow dog-like ears that droop or wiggle,
point up and down, forward and back,
ears that show what we are thinking.
Like dogs, human ears are now automatically controlled by our brains so they
speak eloquently and honestly – the ears
tell the truth! I got this brainstorm from
watching dogs communicate. Dogs
speak vocally, with barks and whines,
but they do not articulate thoughts with
words. Dogs send their fullest messages
to humans and their fellow dogs with
their entire bodies, using tails and heads,
posture and movement. Dogs read dogs
instantly, no words needed, and we learn
to read our dogs over time by matching
the physical signs to dog behaviors.
Dogs articulate more with ears than
sounds. Their often hilarious facial expressions start with the muscles controlling those adorable furry ears. This
causes eyes to widen or narrow, and
their faces to open or scrunch. True,
much of this movement focuses their
ears to hear more clearly. But dogs hearing abilities are another story, as are the
messages sent by posture, movement,
and tail action. The ears tell the real
“tale.” The earful language provides us
an eyeful of information.
We read dogs by their ears like we read
100 point font headlines, or those huge
“Breaking News” flashes that dominate
the top half of our television screens.
Max is sending me the perky-ears-up,
big eyed facial signal for his peanut butter biscuit. Max, didn’t Mom give you
your biscuit already?
Down
come the ears.
Guilty! Bisbee, do
you want to go
with Dad and
swim in the river?
Duke let’s go for a
ride in the truck!
The ears shoot up,
joyful, happy, anticipating the adBill
venture. Champ,
Halderson
today you will really enjoy your
bath, I promise. Champ’s flattened ears
say something I cannot print in this
newspaper. Same with, “Hey Ranger,
it’s time to go visit Mr. Vet.” If Rover
chewed Mom’s slipper the guilt hangs
from his ears. I’ve read dog psychologists who use the big bad bogey word
“anthropomorphism” to discredit the
“guilty” dog pics we see on the Internet.
To get to the truth, I asked an expert, Dr.
Frayed Neuron an eminent dog psychologist to explain the connection between
dogs’ ears and their non-verbal communication. “Bill, yes this is so true. Dogs
are hard wired, brain to ears, canine cognition is expressed in milliseconds, and
Helping Animals
their emotions are demonstrated instantly by their ears.” So, Dr. Neuron, a
dog cannot lie? “No, dogs are completely trustworthy, they tell you what
they think, with no filters – whether they
hate Aunt Flossie, love rare steak, ate
your burger or chased the cat, the ears
are a beacon of honesty. Those earful expressions are reliable and true!” Frayed
explained later that he paid for his Ph.D
playing poker with dogs. “All those
paintings you’ve seen of dogs playing
poker? Ha! Dogs are lousy poker players. With humans, you have to watch the
eyes, look for a slight flicker, and try to
find subtle “tells.” When dogs get a poor
hand their ears flatten; a full house, or
three aces, and up go those tell-tale ears.
They can’t bluff! I cleaned up! Plus, I
still have two warehouses full of dog
biscuits.”
So an unimpeachable source confirms
that dogs’ ears communicate direct honesty. My show has not yet been picked
up by the networks, but the idea is based
on sound science. If the public will suspend belief sufficiently to accept Harry
Potter, Wookie’s and Super Hero’s, it
shouldn’t be too hard to believe in a
small physiological advance that gives
humans dogs’ ears. Imagine the changes.
Media plays key role in
getting out shelter’s message
Ask any animal shelter. They
will tell you that it takes many
hands to create a successful adoption program — that is, one that
gets cats, dogs, puppies and kittens adopted into good, forever
homes.
The shelter staff does the heavy
lifting with determining the overall health, temperament and medical needs of every animal
arriving at the shelter, and settles
them in temporary holding areas.
The groomers help get the animals looking good and the volunteers work to help answer
questions from the public, walk
dogs, socialize kitties and strive
to help make the perfect adoption
match for each pet. All are important duties, but without print
promotion (like the Herald-Citizen Pet Page), and radio promotion, many people would not
know about the amazing adoption
events and other important pet
news disseminated via daily news
outlets. This week, Friends of
Cookeville/Putnam County Animals salute Zimmer Broadcasting
and its’ mission to enhance local
community news and happenings
through WHUB-AM, Newstalk
107.7 and Eagle 106.1.
Program Director and host,
Brent Carl Fleshman, has worked
in major radio markets all over
the country, but loves Cookeville
and has a real heart for the animals, as does Andrew Chaney, his
associate producer. Brent, Andrew and many of the other Zim-
mer Broadcasting on-air personalities and station staff are wonderful with promoting adoption
events or shelter needs throughout the year.
Getting the word out to the public about shelter needs, pet news
in our community and adoption
opportunities promotes more pets
finding good homes — and that’s
a blessing for all the shelter animals.
The Cookeville/Putnam County
Animal Shelter is located at 2650
Gainesboro Grade, just next to
Hyder-Burks Pavilion.
The shelter hours are Monday –
Saturday, from noon to 6 p.m.
Come by and meet our great

2 new dog breeds make it on
American Kennel Club’s roster
NEW YORK (AP) — A hairless terrier and an ancient North
African hound are ready to run
with the pack of dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel
Club.
The organization announced
Tuesday that the American hairless terrier and the sloughi have
joined 187 other recognized
breeds. The newcomers can now
compete in most AKC shows
and competitions, though not at
the prominent Westminster Kennel Club show until next year.
Many American hairless terriers are, as advertised, bareskinned, though others have
short coats but carry the hairless
gene. Their rise began when a
hairless puppy emerged in a litter of rat terriers in the 1970s,
wowing a Louisiana couple and
leading to deliberate breeding
of the hairless dogs, according
to the American Hairless Terrier
Club of America.
The lively, inquisitive terriers
can do well at canine sports and
as pets for people with dog-hair
allergies.
“They’re terrier-smart” but
somewhat calmer than some
other terrier breeds, said club
secretary Lynn Poston of
Fontana, California. “They’re
very easy to live with because
they’re very trainable.”
The sloughi (pronounced
SLOO-ghee), also called the
Arabian greyhound, was developed to hunt game as big as
gazelles. The lean, leggy dogs
have some similarities to
salukis, another hound breed
from North Africa.
Putter, the audio-animatronic mascot puppy belonging to Friends of Cookeville/Putnam
County Animals, visits with WHUB radio 1400 AM and Newstalk 107.7 Associate Producer, Andrew Chaney, and Program Director on-air host, Brent Carl Fleshman for a barkfilled update from his pals at the animal shelter.
Guest speakers who say how happy they
are to be here tonight? Students trying to
claim the dog ate their homework?
Watch the ears, it won’t work. Explain
to the boss your car was hijacked by
dwarves to steal a dragon’s hoard? Tell
Mable you love her new dress — when
you really guessed she got it at a rummage sale? Truthful human tell-tale ears
would give you away.
Jack Nickelson once yelled in a movie
“You can’t stand the truth!” Could we?
How soon before human nature and innovation resulted in creative ways to
hide our lying ears to protect others from
our private thoughts. Imagine the new
fashions in hats designers would create.
Back in style, for young and old, from
cradle to grave, hats would cover our
gorgeous but dangerous new ears.
The Legal Earful show would still
work. New rules would allow no hats in
courtrooms. Hats in churches? Hats cannot hide the truth from the Creator anyway.
And He created dogs to be honest and
true, and us to be us. Maybe it is better
that way.
Dog leads
police to
trapped
canine
companion
ORANGE, Mass. (AP) — It
was a scene straight out of an
episode of “Lassie.”
Police in western Massachusetts say a dog approached an
officer on Tuesday barking
frantically and then led the officer across a field and down
an icy, 30-foot embankment,
where the dog’s canine companion had become entangled
in the undergrowth.
Firefighters in Orange used a
ladder to free the trapped dog,
which was taken to a veterinarian for a checkup.
The two dogs had run off
hours earlier when their owner
suffered a medical emergency
at her home and was taken to
the hospital. Police tried to
catch the dogs, but they kept
running away.
Orange police said on their
Facebook page: “Apparently,
any dog in the right circumstances can turn into Lassie.”
Sloughis are known for speed,
endurance, grace and rather reserved demeanors.
“They are very attentive to their
family, but they are not the kind
of dog that will jump on your lap
- they are not after you all the
time,” says Ermine Moreau-Sipiere of Como, Texas, president
of the American Sloughi Association. She has owned them for
nearly 40 years.
The dogs need patient training,
opportunities to exercise, and a
substantial fence if they’re allowed to be loose in a yard because they may follow their
hunting instinct far and wide if
they spy prey, she said.
Criteria for AKC recognition
include having several hundred
dogs of the breed nationwide.
Some animal-rights advocates
are critical of dog breeding and
emphasize that many mixedbreed dogs need adoption. The
AKC says breed characteristics
help owners anticipate a dog’s
characteristics and make an enduring match.

Golden Globes to offer a galaxy of stars, if not the Force
JAKE COYLE
AP Film Writer
The 73rd annual Golden
Globes will hope its assemblage of Hollywood stars,
from Jennifer Lawrence to
Leonardo DiCaprio, will be
enough to offset the absence
of a different kind of star.
Though “Star Wars” is again
packing movie theaters and
smashing box office records,
J.J. Abrams’ “The Force
Awakens” will be a conspicuous outsider at Sunday night’s
Globes, which announced
nominations a few days before the film was screened in
mid-December. That, surely,
will be one of the things host
Ricky Gervais needles the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association about at the Beverly
Hills, Calif., ceremony, which
kicks off at 8 p.m. EST, telecast live on NBC.
Gervais will host for the
fourth time, returning after a
much-lauded three-year stint
by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
After a 10-year ratings high
three years ago, viewership
has dipped slightly since, with
an audience of 19.3 million
tuning in last year.
That, though, is still very
strong for the Golden Globes,
which have worked to shed an
image of eccentric selections
made by a group of littleknown international journalists. The Globes have instead
grown into one of the most
popular award show broadcasts of the year, thanks to increasingly credible nominees,
its trademark laid-back atmosphere and its unique position as a major awards show
that honors both film and television.
Going into Sunday night,
Todd Haynes’ 1950s romance
“Carol” leads all nominees
with five nods, including best
picture (drama) and best actress for both of its leads,
Cate Blanchett and Rooney
Mara. In the best picture category, it will compete with
“Spotlight,” ‘’The Revenant,”
‘’Room” and “Mad Max:
Fury Road.”
Adam McKay’s finance
farce “The Big Short” tops
the comedy side with four
nominations, including best
picture (comedy) and nods for
Steve Carell and Christian
Bale. The category’s favorite,
though, may be Ridley Scott’s
sci-fi adventure “The Martian.” The two films are nominated alongside “Joy,” ‘’Spy”
and “Trainwreck.”
The Golden Globes have little correlation with the Academy Awards, which will
announce their nominees next
Thursday. But momentum is a
cherished commodity during
awards season — especially
this year, when the Oscar
field is seen by many as wide
open, without a runaway favorite.
Netflix earned a leading
eight nods on the TV side,
where nominations were scattered across streaming services, broadcast and cable. Six
shows come in tied for the
most nominations with three:
“Fargo,” “Mr. Robot,” “Outlander,” “Transparent,”
“American Crime” and “Wolf
Hall.”
Presenters at Sunday night’s
Globes will include Jim Carrey, Amy Adams, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell, Jamie
Foxx, Eddie Redmayne,
Channing Tatum and Mel
Gibson, who is returning to
the Hollywood spotlight after
keeping a low profile for almost a decade, following an
explosive drunken-driving arrest and public custody dispute.

you’ve
finished
breaking up your furniture to
burn in the fireplace to keep
warm, settle in with the family
and the iPad to explore these
fun learning apps for all ages:
• EarWizard (free): If you
ever spent time with the multicolored game from Mattel
called Simon, then you’ll
enjoy EarWizard. The basic
premise is the same, but you
move beyond simple memorization of patterns and begin
to train your ears and learn
chords. There are progressive
levels of difficulty, but you
can refer back to the chart of
chords to hone your skills.
Even if you are not musically
inclined, the simple levels are
great for keeping your memory skills sharp and a tune in
your head.
• Have you ever had an idea
for an app, but you think you
lack the programming skills to
create one? Want to edit that
new website, but you don’t
know the difference between a
BLT and HTML?
There are no excuses for
missing out on the basics of
computer coding, and apps
like Tynker (free) and Blockly
(with little robots to boot) can
help.
The Hour of Code has expanded beyond an hour, but
still introduces content in a
simple, convenient and easyto-understand manner for
adults and kids.
• Photozeen (free/paid) can
help budding photographers
learn the ins and outs of taking
great pictures. Geared more
for older kids and adults, the
app offers tips, gives feedback
and builds skill as you complete quests to improve your
photographic ability. There are
some in-app purchases, but the
step-by-step pointers and
building blocks will have you
taking your own Ansel Adams
shots in no time.
• ViewPure isn’t specifically
an app but has a mobile
friendly version of their site
that works nicely on your device or computer.
The concept of cleaning up
ads, other videos and distractions from the video’s surroundings is a great idea that
YouTube has recently picked
up on with their YouTube Kids
app.
The ViewPure site, however,
makes it much cleaner and
easier to watch videos without
all the unnecessary junk all
around. Go to ViewPure.com
and give it a shot.

New year a good time to earn high
school equivalency diploma
By AMY DAVIS
ALGOOD — She’d been out of school
for 30 years.
But not any more — not since Brandy
Kelley of Baxter decided to “go back to
school” and earn her high school equivalency diploma.
“I quit when I was 15,” she said. “And
I’m not giving up. I don’t care if I have
to be here a year or two years — I’m getting it.”
For Kelley, the motivation was setting
a good example for her 11-year-old
daughter — which led her to the Putnam
County Adult Learning Center, located at
286 E. Main St. in Algood.
There she joined other adults with the
same goal — people like Matthew
Stevens of Gainesboro, who hadn’t been
in a classroom in 11 years.
“I was a rebellious kid,” he said. “I just
didn’t like people telling me what to do.”
But now he’s ready to finish what he
started.
“In order to be something in life, you
kind of have to have the education,” he
said. “You can’t go on through life without it.”
Amy Davis | Herald-Citizen
Putnam County Adult Education students Brandy Kelley, left, and
Matthew Stevens go through orientation Wednesday with Lynda Huddleston, Adult Education supervisor.
Adult Education supervisor Lynda Huddleston said the new year is an ideal time
for students like Kelley and Stevens to
reach that goal.
“It’s one of those things that always
comes up in your life until you get it resolved — either on a job application or
maybe helping kids with homework. Any
number of things can stir up those feel-
ings,” she said.
Anyone wishing to take that first step is
welcome to an orientation session for day
classes tomorrow at 9 a.m. Then on Tuesday, students will take the CASAS test,
followed by conferences on Wednesday.
Huddleston explained that CASAS —
which stands for Comprehensive Adult
Student Assessment Systems — tests stu-
dents’ abilities in reading and math to
give teachers a clear picture of their
strengths and weaknesses.
“We don’t want to spend a whole lot of
time teaching an adult what they already
know,” she said.
Students then work toward an official
practice test, which is required before
they can take the official high school
equivalency exam.
“If you score well enough on that official practice test, we can get a state
voucher that will cover the $75 fee,”
Huddleston added. “We’re working really hard to get people interested and enrolled.”
The sooner, the better.
“Sometimes people want to graduate by
the time their child does — they’d like to
have that behind them!” she said. “If
you’re shooting to be done by May,
now’s the time to get on it.”
To learn more, call 528-8685.
“Really, we have ongoing registration,
so any time they call they can find out
about the next orientation,” Huddleston
said of the free program, which has attracted students ages 18 to 70.
“You’re never too old if you have the
desire.”

WGU Tennessee awarding up to $100K in scholarships
NASHVILLE — State-endorsed nonprofit university WGU Tennessee is celebrating the successes of 2015 and looking forward to 2016 by
awarding 10 Tennesseans $10,000 scholarships.
“We experienced a 50-percent growth in student
enrollment this year, which says a lot about the
renewed commitment to higher education in this
state,” said Dr. Kimberly K Estep, WGU Tennessee chancellor.
“The Tenn-K Scholarship, which covers nearly
80 percent of the total cost of attending WGU
Tennessee, is a way for us to say thank you.
We’re so happy for all of our students and graduates, and we’re thrilled to be part of Governor
Haslam’s Drive to 55 effort.”
Some of WGU Tennessee’s 2015 accomplishments are as follows:
• Surpassing 2,500 in student enrollment — 50
percent growth for the year
• Exceeding 1,000 graduates statewide
• Maintaining the same low tuition for the eighth
year in a row
• Being named the best value in teacher education by the National Council on Teacher Quality
• Being recognized as a military-friendly school
by the Military Advanced Education guide for the
eighth consecutive year
• Forming partnerships with Tennessee’s three
biggest school districts — Metro Nashville,
Shelby County, and Knox County — to encourage public school employees to earn master’s degrees
• Launching $300,000 scholarship fund with the
Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and Lead-
ership Memphis to make education even more affordable for residents of these two metropolitan
areas
• Inducting nine graduates into its first Alumni
Ambassadors Club
“We want to kick off 2016 by continuing to
offer great opportunities to working adults,” said
Estep. “Tennesseans are willing to balance
school, work and family life to create more opportunities for growth in their careers. We’re excited about what’s ahead.”
The scholarship — which is valued at $2,500
per term for up to four six-month terms — covers
more than 80 percent of WGU Tennessee’s already-low tuition of $3,000 per term for most
programs, and will be awarded based on the student’s academic record, readiness for online study
and demonstrated financial need. To learn more

Bonnaroo donation
funds Manchester mural
MANCHESTER — The Bonnaroo Works Fund — the charitable arm of the Bonnaroo
Music and Arts Festival with a
mission of making communities healthier through the arts,
education and environmental
sustainability — recently partnered with the Manchester
Recreation Complex to create a
mural.
The mural overlooks the outdoor pool area of the complex
and can be enjoyed by Manchester residents as they drive
past.
According to Nina Miller,
Bonnaroo Works Fund director,
the mural fills a community
need and underscores the Bonnaroo Works Fund’s mission of
advancing the arts.
“The building hadn’t been
painted since opening over 10
years ago,” said Miller. “It was
an easy decision for the Bonnaroo Works Fund to jump in and
help reinvigorate this key community resource. The mural not

to help students solve the mystery and get excited about the Friday night event. At right, Michael Edel learns how clouds are formed from rain during CSI night.

something beautiful and entertaining to enjoy, it also celebrates
the importance of art and the
Bonnaroo partners’ ongoing
commitment to its home community.”
The mural was painted by
Nashville artist Bryan Deese in
partnership with Beautify Earth,
an organization committed to enlivening blank spaces, empowering artists and instilling pride in
communities.
It was created over the course of
two weeks and depicts some of
Bonnaroo’s most colorful and
iconic touchstones from the farm,
such as the arch, clock tower and
fountain.
“We have had an exciting response from the community,”
said Manchester Parks and
Recreation Director Bonnie
Gamble.
“The mural grabs your attention, energizes the area and is a
source of colorful inspiration for
the children of Manchester.”
The Manchester Recreation
Complex, located at 557 N.
Baxter Elementary students,
above, gather to kick off a
“Humphrey” reading event on
Jan. 4, the first day back at
school following winter break.
“The World According to
Humphrey” by Betty G. Birney
was given to every student to
take home and read nightly
with their parents. Showing
off their copes of the book are
BES students, at right, from

purchased through an Upper
Cumberland Electric Membership Cooperative grant applied for earlier this school
year by assistant principal
Marsha Wyatt. Students are
participating in many activities relating to the book during the month of January.
Trivia questions are announced each morning, and
students with the correct answer receive a prize. A stuffed
Humphrey and writing journal
goes home nightly with students to write about
Humphrey and the experiences he has while visiting
their homes. At right, below,

The completion of the mural is
just one of last year’s Bonnaroo
Works Fund projects. In 2015,
the Bonnaroo Works Fund provided close to $300,000 in support to more than 50
organizations advancing the arts,
causes.
Bonnaroo Works Fund, a

4-H Chick Chain
orders being taken
through Feb. 16
By JIMMY CHAMBERS
Putnam County 4-H Extension Agent
PUTNAM COUNTY — Looking for a low-cost project that
will engage children and adults
alike, teach responsibility and
have measurable results this
year?
Look no further than the poultry
show ring.
In Putnam County, youth in
grades 4-12 may participate in
the 4-H Chick Chain project.
Those interested will pay $35
and receive 15 day-old female
chicks (there may be one to two
roosters) to raise for a 4-H project. Orders should be placed at
the U.T. Putnam County Extension Office, located inside the
agriculture building at 900 S.
Walnut Ave., by Feb. 16.
The chicks will arrive in early
April, after spring break, and 4H’ers must care for them and
raise them throughout the summer. In the fall, they will be expected to bring three pullets to
the 4-H Chick Chain show and
sale, where they will receive
prize money for completing the
project.
This year’s 4-H participants
may choose between two different breeds: Red Star or Barred
Rocks, both of which are excellent laying hens that lay brown
eggs.
Chicks received in late winter
or early spring can be raised successfully under a warm brooder
lamp. As the chicks mature, they
will progress in step with the
weather, heading outside as the
days warm up. They will quickly
reach an age appropriate for 4-H
activities.
Animal projects also help teach
youth responsibility. Raising
chickens is not as costly as other
livestock, but time and money
are still involved with their care.
For more information about the
4-H Chick Chain project, call
931-526-4561
or
email
jchamb33@utk.edu.
4-H offers programs in agriculture and natural resources, youth
development, family and consumer sciences and resource development
through
the
cooperation of the University of
Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture and county governments.

DA cracks down on ‘roscoe machines’
By BOB MCMILLAN
Looking back in history, here
were some of the happenings in
the Cookeville area for the week
of Jan. 9-15, as recorded in the
pages of the Herald-Citizen:
1935
District Attorney General John
Mitchell this week instructed
Sheriff Alex Burton to investigate “gaming tables” and
“Roscoe machines” operating in
Cookeville and to prepare a report for the Putnam County
Grand Jury.
The probe comes after the DA
received complaints that gambling in Cookeville has become
so common and so accessible that
school children are gambling
away their lunch money here.
Mitchell told of one case in
which a school boy won a can of
tobacco playing a Roscoe machine. The machines routinely
pay off in free games, but some
also issue cigarettes and candy to
winners, the DA said. (Jan. 14,
1935)
1941
“Every realist knows that the
Democratic life as it is at this moment is being assailed in every
part of the world, assailed by
arms or by secret spreading of
poisoning propaganda.”
So said President Franklin Roosevelt as he told radio listeners in
Cookeville and around the country this week that he is going
ahead with the sale of warplanes,
fighting ships, weapons and munitions to England, which now
stands alone against Germany.
In a page one editorial,
Cookeville’s newspaper applauded the announcement.
In Baxter, Baxter Seminary
President Dr. Harry Upperman
this week got a letter that sheds
light on what the British are suffering.
It was from Dr. Thomas
Tiplady, an English Methodist
minister and friend of Upperman’s. It described the London
Blitz.
“We have been bombed in London every night for the last three
months, and almost every day.
Some days the warning siren has
sounded three times a day,” wrote
the minister.
Yet, he says, “The behavior of
the people is something to wonder at.” Morale is high.
“All the men and women are
afraid, but no man would have
the courage to show fear seeing
the women don’t show any.”
“We know, all of us, that any
day or night any of us may be
killed by a bomb ...” Despite
bomb shelters throughout London, “... we have no real protection from a direct hit.”
Baxter Seminary, says Upperman, is collecting a ‘bundle’ of
aid to send to Tiplady’s church.
The Putnam Draft Board this
week filled the county’s monthly
quota — two — by calling up
Clifford Brewington and Horace
Brown for military service.
They’re being sent to Ft.
Oglethorpe, Ga., for training.
In a page one news photo,
Cookeville readers got a look at
Australian troops poised for the
attack on Italian defenses at Bardia in the Libyan desert. They
took 25,000 Italian prisoners in
the battle. (Jan. 9, 1941)
1946
Floodwaters surged in Jackson
County’s Jennings Creek community this week and washed
away two houses, taking the lives
of six people in two families.
The war is over and, in news
from Putnam servicemen:

The new cars are out for 1954,
and this week’s newspaper is full
of large advertisements and large
claims about today’s big car engines.
The Mercury is billed as an
easy-driving car that can safely
speed out of the way of danger
thanks to a powerful 161 horsepower V-8 engine with an automatic 4-barrel carburetor.
The Buick has an even bigger
200 horse-power V-8 engine and
boasts power brakes, power
steering and even has electric
“windowlifts.” It’s air-conditioned too.
The new Chrysler comes with a
235 horse-power V-8 engine, the
‘PowerFlyte.’
Meanwhile,
the
nation’s
‘newest medium-priced’ car is
the Packard Clipper, which goes
for $2,624. (Jan. 10, 1954)
1964
The U.S. Surgeon General, in a
landmark report this week, linked
lung cancer to smoking. The reaction among area tobacco growers, warehouse officials and
buyers? They said they didn’t expect much to come of it.
Tobacco is Putnam’s number
one cash crop. It has been for
decades.
Those interviewed said they
don’t expect many to take the
Surgeon General’s warnings seriously.
Cookeville’s ninth snowstorm
of the winter swept through this
week, closing schools, forcing
cancellations and dropping two
inches of snow.
The good news, says the newspaper, is that spring is just 65
days away. (Jan. 14, 1964)
1974
Senator Howard Baker, in town
to speak to the Cookeville Rotary
Club this week, said that as bad
as the Watergate scandal in
Washington has been, it’s a sign
that Democracy in America is
strong still.
The controversy “hasn’t shaken
the foundations of the republic,”
he said.
The fact the Watergate break-in
and subsequent followup by the
Nixon administration were immediately investigated in full
public view are good signs, said
Baker. No other nation in the
world “would have dared air its
dirty laundry in public,” he said.
The nation will recover, but
Richard Nixon’s presidency remains uncertain, he said.
However, Baker said he does
not expect Nixon to be im-
peached or resign.
Cookevillians will be among
the few Tennesseans who will be
able to watch “the rematch of the
century,” the heavyweight prizefight between Muhammed Ali
and Joe Frazier, live on TV.
Cookeville’s FNI Communications and Columbia’s cable TV
company are the only two in the
state with the rights to broadcast
the hugely-hyped fight live.
In Cookeville, about 60 percent
of the homes are presently on
cable TV. (Jan. 10, 1974)
1984
Two long-time public servants
here have died. Services were set
this week for Miss Clara Starnes,
83, and Edwinna Brown, 73.
Miss Starnes was the librarian at
the Clara Cox Epperson Library
from 1946 until 1972.
The library in those years was
housed in what this year is the
Putnam Board of Education
building at 442 East Spring St.
She was known for her keen devotion to her job as well as having a spritely sense of humor.
Mrs. Brown served the Putnam
County Red Cross chapter for 34
years through wars, floods, tornadoes and disasters.
A nurse, she began working for
the relief agency in 1949 as executive secretary, and rose to the
position of director.
Some of the shows on television
here this week?
There’s Harry Morgan in
“After-MASH,” Dabney Coleman in “Buffalo Bill,” and Martin Mull in “Domestic Life.”

The Castle of the Mayan ruins in Tulum, Mexico is lit by late afternoon sun.
Singer Justin Bieber asked to
leave Mexico’s Tulum ruin site
By MARK STEVENSON
Associated Press
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican official said
Friday that Canadian pop star Justin Bieber and his
entourage were asked to leave the Mayan archaeological site of Tulum after he apparently tried to
climb onto or among the ruins.
The official of the National Institute of Anthropology and History spoke on condition of
anonymity because he or she was not authorized to
be quoted by name.
Bieber was visiting the seaside ruins on Thursday
when the incident occurred.
The official could not specify which of the site’s
structures Bieber allegedly had climbed, but said
he was “asked to leave.”
Visitors can climb some pre-Hispanic pyramids
in Mexico, but officials rope off or place ‘no entry’
signs on some ruins that are considered vulnerable
or unstable.
Bieber has been involved in several incidents in
Latin America in recent years.
In 2013, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto
denied a tweet by Bieber saying the singer met with
the leader and his family prior to a show.
Apparently, Bieber was confused about whether
Fashion designer,
miniskirt pioneer dies
PARIS (AP) — Fashion officials
say French designer Andre Courreges, who laid claim to the invention of the 1960s miniskirt, has
died at the age of 92.
His fashion house said in a statement that Courreges died Thursday night following a 30-year
battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Courreges launched his fashion
house in 1961. His eponymous
label set the trends for such stars
as Brigitte Bardot and Catherine
Deneuve, who admired the designer’s ground-breaking geometry, plastic miniskirts, space-age
silhouettes and futuristic textiles.
the president was there or not. Bieber later wrote
in a tweet, “correction. I met the presidente’s family and all their friends in the private meet and greet
with all their security. They were very nice.”
That same year, Bieber faced two criminal complaints and demands for refunds in Argentina, in
addition to trouble with police for allegedly spraying graffiti in Brazil.
Bieber angered Argentines by abandoning a concert after less than an hour and not showing up for
a photo-op that some fans paid hundreds of dollars
extra for. The singer’s manager said Bieber came
down with food poisoning after a concert.
One Argentine lawyer accused Bieber of sending
bodyguards to attack a photographer outside a
Buenos Aires nightclub.
Another accused him of defiling the national symbol by dragging two Argentine flags off stage with
his feet and a microphone stand before 45,000 “beliebers” during the first of two concerts in River
Plate stadium.
Bieber also walked off the stage in Brazil, ending
a concert early after someone threw a plastic bottle
at him and Brazilian police tried unsuccessfully to
question him about defacing a public building with
graffiti, a crime that carries a year’s prison sentence.

Bamboozled
I
was still dressed in pajamas
when my doorbell rang on
the Sunday morning before
Christmas. Inconvenient, but not
something I could ignore. I
cranked open the blinds to see
who was on the porch. A scruffy
man, hat in hand, stood warily
eyeing my dogs.
“Could I help you?” I asked
without opening the door.
“Would you like me to work on
your pine tree?” He pointed to
the far corner of the
Just
front yard.
That tree
Jennie
had been an
issue for
months. A
“living”
Christmas
tree, it was
planted
sometime in
the late
1970s and
was now at
least 30 feet
Jennie
tall. Last
Ivey
winter’s ice
storms had
made a mess of it, though the
electric company didn’t consider
it a threat to the power lines. If I
wanted the dead limbs cut off
and hauled away, I would have
to pay for it. So I opened the
door.
“How much?” The man quoted
me a price that seemed more
than reasonable. I looked at the
beat-up truck parked in my
driveway and my radar started
beeping. “Do you have a bucket
truck and a chipper?” I asked.
“Nope,” he said. “I’ll climb the
tree and saw off the branches
and then haul them away. That’s
how come I can do it so cheap.”
I should have trusted my radar,
now beeping like crazy, and told
him thanks but no thanks. How
many stories had I heard and
read about naive homeowners
bamboozled by fly-by-night
handymen? More than I could
count. I once worked for the
Better Business Bureau, for
heaven’s sake. I knew the score.
The only sensible thing to do
was to send this man on his way.
Yeah, but. He looked so downand-out. He spoke so knowledgably about trees. The price
was right. And it was five days
before Christmas. What could I
do but say yes?
“I’ll need a $100 deposit,” he
said.
I shook my head. “I can’t pay
you until the job is done.”
I arrived home from church a
couple of hours later to find him
hard at work. A few of the dead
limbs had been sawed off and
were stacked high in the bed of
his truck. He told me he was
heading to a brush pile to dump
them and would be right back.
Could I give him some money
now? Reluctantly, I wrote a
check.
He didn’t return that afternoon.
Or the next day. Or the next. I
called and texted him several
times. His story was always the
same. His helper had quit but
another guy had promised to
work with him soon. In the
meantime, he was low on funds.
He had to get his equipment out
of hock. Buy gas for his truck.
Settle up his motel bill. Could I
go ahead and pay the rest of
what I owed him, even though
he hadn’t finished the job? He
was good for it, he assured me.
Times were tough. It was Christmas. He had three hungry kids
to feed.
What to do? I’d already paid
him for way more than the work
he’d done. Reputable workmen
don’t expect payment for labor
they haven’t finished. If I gave
this man more upfront money,
didn’t that make me a victim?
And an enabler? But he had
three kids, or so he said. And it
was two days before Christmas.
So I handed him a $100 bill.
That was three weeks ago. The
itinerant tree cutter hasn’t been
back. His cell number isn’t in
service. My yard looks far worse
than it did before he started. And
though I try to think of the
whole sorry mess as unwitting
charity at Christmastime, I can’t
help but kick myself for being
taken for a chump.

Impact through art
Joan Derryberry paintings
to go on display this month
H
er husband was the most influential president Tennessee Tech University has ever
had. But Joan Derryberry, in her own quieter way, made an impact that is just as meaningful and long-lasting.
Outside of her official duties as first lady, Derryberry was an avid artist, and several of her
paintings still hang around campus and at Walton House, the president’s residence. More of
them hang around Cookeville, especially in the
home of her son, Walter Derryberry. Others of
the more than 1,500 she painted hang throughout Tennessee and the nation.
A selection of Derryberry’s paintings will be
gathered and shown in a retrospective show in
her namesake gallery. Part of TTU’s Centennial, it will run Jan. 26 to Feb. 25.
“Without Walter’s generous loan of his
mother’s paintings, this show could not have
happened,” said Centennial Coordinator Laura
Clemons. “Joan Derryberry was a very talented
artist and, for that reason alone, she deserves to
have this show in her honor. It is more appropriate, of course, because she was our first lady
for 34 years and played a big role in establishing who we are today as an institution.”
Derryberry was a beloved teacher, a popular
public speaker, concert pianist and composer,
as well as a nationally known artist.
Her style as an artist can be described as impressionistic; her canvases are characterized by
loose brush strokes and soft colors. She painted
the landscapes of Middle Tennessee and other
landscapes and subjects. As she painted, she
combined the Upper Cumberland’s lush green
hills with her memories of Devonshire, England, her hometown.
In honor of that and her lasting impact on Ten-
nessee Tech, the gallery was dedicated and
named for her in March 1996.
The show will include between 15 and 20
paintings, some on public display for the first
time, in the gallery on the first floor of the
Roaden University Center, 1000 N. Dixie Ave.
The show is free and open to the public.
As TTU’s longest-serving first lady, she wrote
the Tech Hymn, which is still played at commencement and other ceremonious campus occasions. She taught many students music
history and piano during a time when her husband was actively working to expand the music
department.
Derryberry was a founding member of the
Tennessee Arts Commission and was tireless in
her determination to emphasize arts in the region. Her dedication set the stage for the strong
arts community in the area, which has grown
with the efforts of others.
She also founded the Town and Gown organization, which was designed to form closer ties
between campus and the community. Decades
later, the organization is still active and composed of women dedicated to her cause.
Joan Derryberry and Everett met when he was
a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University in 1928.
She sang in the university’s opera club and
taught piano. She had a degree in music from
London’s Royal College of Music, was a licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music and several certificates from the British Society of Art
Masters.
Everett returned to England in 1933 to marry
her. They came to Tennessee Tech in 1940, during the 25th anniversary celebrations.
TTU’s Centennial celebrations continue until
the end of the spring semester.

Mended Hearts Member of the Year
How to get in on the fun at
the Sundance Film Festival
By SANDY COHEN
Associated Press
At the December Christmas party of Mended Hearts, Charles Jackson, left, was presented
the prestigious Mended Hearts Member of the Year Award by Tom Tomberlin. This award
is based on the contributions of a member that best represents the volunteer mission of
our chapter. After a nomination and voting process, Jackson was recognized because
of his service as chapter photographer, AED trainer coordinator, health fair participant,
accredited visitor, and silent auction participant.
You don’t have to be a Hollywood hotshot or
movie-industry insider to participate in the Sundance Film Festival, which runs Jan. 21-31 in
Park City, Utah.
Many screenings and special events are open
to the public; all you need is a pinch of flexibility and some advance planning.
Here’s a look at the various ways to get in on
Park City’s film festival fun:
— Spring for all-access passes: Fans with
deep pockets who want to see as many movies
as possible should opt for festival passes, which
as of early January were still available for the
festival’s final days.
The $3,000 option buys priority-line position
to any screening during that period, plus a
ticket to the awards party on Jan. 30.
A $1,500 pass provides similar access to films
playing at Eccles Theatre, Park City’s biggest
screening venue.
For $300, attend all screenings on Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday at the Grand Theatre in Salt
Lake City. Ten-packs of tickets have already
sold out.
— Sign up for single tickets: Individual tickets
will be available later this month.
For $20, you can score tickets to same-day
screenings, but you have to buy them in person
at the film festival box office.
Open tickets and waitlist tickets also sell for
$20, as do special locals-only tickets for Utah
residents.
All are first come, first served. Ticket resales
are prohibited.
— Show your credentials: Schmooze with festival insiders at the Filmmaker’s Lodge, the
ASCAP Music Cafe and other non-theater venues with a Sundance credential, which sells for
$200. You can’t get into screenings with it, but
you can get close to the creative folks behind
them.

Crossville gears up for flower, garden show
CROSSVILLE — Winter has
barely gotten started — and if
the Old Farmer’s Almanac is to
be believed, there are months of
cold, snowy weather looming.
But why not think warmer
thoughts, like getting out to the
garden to dig in the dirt? And
nothing could be better on those
upcoming long, dreary winter
days than dreaming about the
upcoming Flower & Garden
Show in Crossville.
The Cumberland County Master Gardeners Association
(CCMGA) is pleased to announce the dates for its 14th annual Flower & Garden Show.

LIVING
One hundred years ago, a state college opens in Cookeville
By LAURA CLEMONS
Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN
A Tennessee Central excursion
train from Nashville pulled into
the Cookeville station at about
11 o’clock on a rainy morning,
Thursday, Sept. 14, 1916. Passengers included Governor Tom
Rye.
Among area residents meeting
the train was local businessman
James Cox. Serving as grand
marshal, Cox led a parade that
stretched a half-mile long from
the train station to the campus of
Tennessee Polytechnic Institute,
the eagerly awaited public college of the Upper Cumberland.
The Nashville Tennessean estimated that between 4,000 and
5,000 people attended the dedication ceremony that day. In an
age when automobiles were few
and far between, the campus
was encircled by 200 parked
cars. Dignitaries including Governor Rye, co-founder Jere
Whitson and newly installed TPI
President Thomas Early gave
speeches. Guests were treated to
lunch and given tours of the new
campus.
A few young people had registered for courses earlier in the
week; many more registered by
Friday. The 362 students in
TPI’s first academic class
ranged from 8th-graders to high
school graduates. The youngest
enrolled in courses considered
part of Putnam County’s high
school curriculum. Only 19
members of TPI’s first class registered for junior college classes.
This concept of a “technical institute” — what today would be
considered a high school, vocational school and community
All Tech students attended chapel and joined literary societies. These young ladies,
members of TPI’s first academic class, performed for their peers and teachers.
college all wrapped up into one
— was what clinched the deal
establishing a state college in
Cookeville.
That TPI existed at all came
about through a miraculous series of events; at any point in the
years leading up to its charter in
1915, the school could have
have failed — and indeed, its
footing wasn’t secure for years
afterward. The campus was cobbled together from a failed private church college venture in
Cookeville
and
Putnam
County’s need for a high school
open to all students — from
Monterey to Baxter, Algood and
Cookeville. Statewide opposition led by educators at other
public high schools and colleges, combined with a dicey fi-
nancial arrangement among the
city, county, church-school
founders, and ultimately the
state, nearly took the new school
off the map before its doors ever
opened.
But open it did. Net worth its
first year was $100,000 in gifts
and cash from Cookeville, Putnam County and the Broad
Street Church of Christ; $36,380
of maintenance funding through
the state’s general education
budget; student fees for books,
room and board averaging $115
a year; and the generosity of
civic and religious organizations
that raised money for supplies
and collected used books for the
TPI library. “Practical work”
students bartered for their room
and board and saved the school
money by tending the campus
garden, cooking, cleaning, and
even constructing TPI’s first
shop building.
It was a year of firsts. Faculty,
led by President Early, had to
decide how grades were calculated, the design of athletic
clothing, where they would
teach when classrooms overflowed — which they did, leading to classes being held in dorm
rooms, cafeteria and the furnace
room.
The first student to graduate
from Tech with a college degree,
Beulah Bene Betty of Gordonsville, wrote to the school
newspaper in 1918: “I was in
school at TPI since the opening
day two years ago, and the spirit
has always been ‘work or fight.’
Realizing the success of its first
two years and knowing the spirit
of its co-workers, we can look
ahead and see great things in
store for TPI. I say that such
success and spirit is due to the
earnest work of our able President, Mr. Early, and to the hearty
cooperation of his zealous family and student body.”
That first year, faculty, students
and townspeople formed the
first school orchestra; established literary societies and
YMCA and YWCA chapters;
and organized football, basketball and baseball teams. One of
TPI’s first students was Wesley
Flatt. He told a Cookeville Citizen reporter during Tech’s 50th
anniversary celebration — the
year TPI was renamed Tennessee Technological University
— that in the summer of 1916,
he and a few other boys “moved
the furniture in the buildings and
got things ready for the start of
school. We registered about a
week before the first student arrived on campus. I played in the
first football game I ever saw.
The coach asked me to play and
said it was like fighting. I said
that was for me and jumped in
with the rest of them.”
Presiding over it all was
Thomas Early, a man with experience in vocational and junior
college administration in his
home state of Mississippi. Students loved him. Faculty and
several influential men in state
government, less so. Four years
later, Early would be drummed
out of office.
But that the school kept its
doors open at all was due in
large measure to Thomas Early.
President Early, who would go
on to be elected to the state legislature as the Cookeville district’s representative, died in
1939. One year later, during
Tech’s 25th anniversary celebration, the college’s first dean,
Charles Daniel, returned to campus to offer his congratulations,
saying:
”Upon his election as president
of the new institution [in April
1916], Mr. Early found on campus one complete building [and]
two dormitories under construction. There was no organized
faculty.
The prospects for student enrollment were unknown. I consider it a very high tribute to Mr.
Early’s faith and courage to say
that within a few months his enthusiasm for his task gathered
around him a group of young
and hopeful teachers who were
more than willing to undertake
to solve the problem of launching the institution on a career of
real educational service to the
community of fine people living
among the beautiful Cumberland hills, to the State of Tennessee as a whole and to the
entire South. Tennessee Polytechnic Institute has come a long
way along the road of educational service since 1916.”

Prisoners score Malawi’s
first Grammy nomination
By LYNSEY CHUTEL
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The gentle chorus
of maximum security prisoners sung over simple
guitar chords has earned Malawians their first
Grammy nomination, but it took nearly 10 days
for them to find out.
“I Have No Everything Here” is a 20-track collection of sometimes melancholic songs performed by the inmates of Malawi’s overcrowded
Zomba prison, documenting life on both sides of
the crumbling red brick walls.
The track “Listen to Me” is a warning to young
women to stay out of trouble. Other tracks include “Prison of Sinners,” “Last Wishes” and the
more upbeat “When They See Me Dance.”
Eighteen of the 20 tracks are sung in the
Chichewa language.
The Zomba Prison Project has been nominated
for best world music album, on the heels of previous winners and now fellow nominees such as
South Africa’s Ladysmith Black Mambazo and
Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo.
Grammy recognition will not lead to a worldtouring career for the Zomba Prison Project,
though.
Many performers are serving life sentences in
the prison’s sandy yard and cramped quarters.
Cut off from the world, the inmates heard about
their nomination via charity workers and prison
officials, album producer Ian Brennan said in a
telephone interview from Paris.
Brennan, who has built a career as a producer
determined to promote new international music,
said he was nevertheless surprised that his “massive, money-losing labor of love” has garnered
international prestige.
Born in Oakland, California, Brennan has also
worked in psychiatric facilities for over 20 years,
becoming an expert in violence prevention.
Music is a tool for empathy, he said.
Brennan struck a deal with prison officials in
Malawi that he would give workshops on conflict
prevention to inmates while getting the chance to
record their haunting hymns and traditional
songs.
The prisoners were paid in money, clothes and
other commissary items, all handled by the
guards.
Brennan used his own funds to pay for the
album, which was released by Six Degrees, a San
Francisco record company known for its international catalog.
He recorded 60 hours of music in the prison
yard in August 2013, competing with the grinding
from the prison’s carpentry classes.
The men’s side of the prison already had a relatively successful choir that toured other prisons
with donated instruments, Brennan said.
The women prisoners at Zomba, only a few
dozen out of thousands, made do with overturned
buckets and a few traditional drums.
The women were apprehensive about performing until inmate Gladis Zinamo stepped to the microphone.
“Share with the earth your happiness,” she sang,
and the first words of the album track “Don’t
Hate Me” created a domino effect of other
women coming forward to sing, said Brennan.
Women inmates wound up being the singers for
more than half of the album.
Grammy-winning Brennan has also produced
Rwanda’s The Good Ones, South Sudanese band
Wayo: Trance Percussion Masters and the
Malawi Mouse Boys, a gospel group that once
made a living selling mice on sticks as roadside
snacks.

The First Folio of Shakespeare plays is displayed after a press conference at Shakespeare’s Globe theatre in London. The edition, which will be exhibited at the Globe
in 2016, the year of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, is one of 230
copies of the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio and is notable for its scribbled stage directions.
Shakespeare collection to
be displayed at Notre Dame
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A 400-year-old collection of William Shakespeare’s plays will be on
display at the University of Notre Dame this
month.
The national exhibit called “First Folio! The
Book that Gave us Shakespeare,” curated by
Washington’s Folger Shakespeare Library, opens
Wednesday at the rare books and special collections gallery of the Hesburgh Library on the
campus in South Bend, Indiana.
The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 29.
A first folio is the term used to describe the first
collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays. It was
published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare
died.
Officials said two of Shakespeare’s fellow actors compiled 36 of his plays, including “Macbeth” and “The Tempest, hoping to preserve
them for future generations.
Notre Dame plans a yearlong series of performances, conferences and special events commemorating Shakespeare.
Celebrations, exhibitions and festivals are being
held around England and in other places this year
to mark 500 years since Shakespeare’s death on
April 23, 1616.

Four ideas for a cheerful post-holiday mantel
By MELISSA RAYWORTH
Associated Press
When January arrives, even Christmas-loving
homeowners might be happy to put away Santa and
his reindeer. But the post-holiday mantel and fireplace can look strangely bare.
The days are still short and the weather chilly, so
“the key word after the holidays is cozy,” says
Pittsburgh-based interior designer Cathy Davin.
A well-decorated fireplace — even without a
wood-burning fire inside — can be the perfect
source of cheerful style and warm glow throughout
the first weeks of the new year. Here, Davin and two other designers — HGTV
stylist Meg Allan Cole and Atlanta-based interior
designer Mallory Mathison — offer four ideas for
making the most of your mantel and fireplace
throughout the post-holiday season:
1. KEEP THE WINTER THEME
Davin believes in celebrating winter even after the
holidays are over. She removes red poinsettias, but
keeps white ones and white cyclamen around her
fireplace. And she continues lighting white and
gold candles on the mantel.
She also encourages clients to keep tiny white
lights in their living space for a warm glow
throughout January. Cole agrees: White lights “can absolutely stay up
all winter long,” she says. “They yell, ’Warm and
festive! Come on inside! Get out of the cold!’”
Alongside traditional lights, she recommends
using LED copper strips on the mantel. “Copper is
really on-trend right now,” Cole says. And these
strips of lights are battery-operated, so there are no
wires snaking away.
1. LAYER YOUR FAVORITES
A clean, classic mantel with just a pair of vases or
hurricane lamps flanking one large painting can
look lovely year-round. It’s the perfect way to highlight a piece of art, and this sparse approach can be

winter.
To keep the winter vibe going on a layered mana nice break after busy holiday decorations. Another approach “is to layer pieces on a mantel tel, Cole suggests using a collection of small aniby propping up different sizes of art, mirrors and mal figurines like deer and other woodland

of those seasonal rules,” Cole says.
day mantel seem a little less stark and empty. 1. LOOK INSIDE
If you’re not using your fireplace for a fire, use
that space decoratively by filling it with candles or
other items. Just remember to keep things looking
reasonably natural. “The ’go-to’ is a bundle of clean, pretty birch logs
that are arranged as if they are waiting to be lit,”
Mathison says. “I love to use andirons and then
stack the birch logs in a pyramid.” Some designers fill the firebox area with small
bookshelves or other unexpected items. Mathison
prefers not to: She thinks using decorative items
that aren’t made to be in a fireplace can “feel forced
and contrived.”
Davin agrees: “I don’t like to see a plant pushed
back into the firebox area” where it doesn’t get
light, she says. “One or two plants sitting around
the hearth, where they can actually get natural
light” can look lovely, however.
1. GET CRAFTY
Your mantel is the perfect place to get creative.
Davin suggests exploring Pinterest for DIY mantel
decorations. You’ll also find ideas on Cole’s
Youtube channel. One favorite of hers: Buy inexpensive cardboard
cones that look like little mountains, then spray
paint them in a mix of pastels with a bit of gold or
white. Cluster them together with white lights, and
then top them with a glass dome. “A glass dome over anything screams design,”
Cole says, and it can cost as little as $10 at a craft
store.
Cole also suggests seeking out craft projects that
use votive candles (she offers some ideas at
hgtv.com).
Don’t forget to get creative under your mantel,
too: Add tiny hooks if you don’t already have them
for holiday stockings, then suspend little glass orbs
with LED tea lights inside.
They’ll provide a warm glow without the work of
lighting a real fire. ‘Star Wars’ Monopoly to
You can set up your smart home
include Rey after girl complains now — if you’re tenacious
By MICHELLE R. SMITH
Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) —
The “Star Wars” version of Monopoly will add a game piece
based on the female character
Rey after an 8-year-old girl
wrote to game maker Hasbro
complaining about the omission
and telling them: “Girls matter.”
Carrie Goldman, of Evanston,
Illinois, posted a letter on Twitter
this week written by her daughter, Annie Rose, asking why
Hasbro left out Rey when she is
a main character of the latest
movie in the series, “Star Wars:
The Force Awakens.”
The letter begins by asking the
company why it would exclude
the heroine of the story.
“Without her THERE IS NO
FORCE AWAKENS! It awakens
in her! And without her, the bad
guys would have won! Besides,
boys and girls need to see that
women can be as strong as
men!” she wrote. “Girls matter!”
The original game includes just
four pieces, all modeled on male
characters: Luke Skywalker,
Darth Vader, Finn and Kylo Ren.
The decision to exclude Rey led
to a social media debate, with
many fans tweeting under the
hashtag #WheresRey.
Goldman, an author who has
written about toys and gender issues, included the hashtag as she
tweeted a picture of her daughter’s letter to Hasbro.
Hasbro responded in a tweet of
its own two days later.
“We love your passion for Rey
and are happy to share that we
are including her in the Monopoly: Star Wars game, available
later this year,” it said.
Julie Duffy, a spokeswoman for
the Pawtucket, Rhode Islandbased company, said Wednesday
that it did not include Rey in the
game to avoid revealing a key
plot line.
The game was released in September, months before the movie
was released, though Goldman
noted that at the time it was wellknown that Rey would be a central character.
Goldman said the response to
Annie Rose’s letter shows she
struck a nerve, and people are
ready for a change.
“A huge number of the messages I’m getting are from men.
This is not a women’s issue. It’s
about representing the hero of
this film,” she said.
Duffy said anyone who already
bought a Rey-less game can contact Hasbro when the updated
game comes out and request
their own Rey token.
Poll: Most have stayed friends with an ex
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Americans think
making a clean break with an ex helps speed the
healing process after a breakup, according to a
new Associated Press-WE tv poll. But not all of
them are listening to their own advice.
Six in 10 think cutting off contact with an ex is
very helpful for getting over a breakup, and about
the same percentage say it’s usually not worth it
to try to stay friends with an ex.
But their actions often tell a different story.
Just over half of those who have ever experienced a breakup say they’ve personally stayed
friends with an ex.
Even among those who say they don’t think it’s
usually worth it, 38 percent have remained
friends with at least one former flame.
Over 4 in 10 have broken up with someone only
to get back together again, and more than a third
have slept with an ex.
Thirteen percent have continued living with
someone they broke up with for financial reasons,
and the same percentage have gone on vacation
or spent a holiday with their ex.
Many also find themselves doing things that remind them of their former flame.
Four in 10 have visited an ex’s profile on Facebook or other social media.
A quarter have sneaked a peak at a social media
profile of someone their ex was dating.
Young Americans are especially likely to look
an ex up on social media.
Two-thirds of those between age 18 and 34 have
visited the social media profile of an ex, and 4 in
10 have scoped out someone an ex was dating.
Forty-five percent of Americans have listened
to a song that reminds them of their ex.
Not everyone who tries to remain friends with
an ex can make it work. A third have tried unsuccessfully to stay friends post-breakup. And some
might be better off cutting the cord.
Thirty-two percent say feelings for an ex have
prevented them from finding a new relationship.
There are some circumstances when most Americans do agree that it’s worthwhile to stay friends
with an ex.
More than half think it’s worth it if a former
couple have mutual friends, and 9 in 10 think it’s
worth it for a couple who have children together.
Among Americans who have been divorced, just
21 percent say they stayed friends with their ex,
but another 44 percent say they stayed on speaking terms.
After a breakup, Americans are more likely to
turn to family and friends over new flings for
help in healing.
Nearly two-thirds say support from friends is
extremely or very helpful in getting over a
breakup, and two-thirds say the same of support
from family.
Only a quarter think of new relationships as that
helpful, and even fewer say casual dating is helpful.
Women are more likely than men to think support from friends and family is helpful, while
men are more likely than women to think of new
relationships or casual dating helps.
Three-quarters of Americans think it’s better to
wait before getting into a new relationship after
a breakup, while about a quarter think it’s not important to wait.
For anyone who does try to stay friendly with
an ex, 62 percent say it’s better to wait before trying that, too.
The AP-WE tv Poll of 1,241 adults was conducted ahead of the premier of WE tv’s new show
“Ex Isle.”
The poll was conducted online Nov. 20-23,
2015, using a sample drawn from GfK’s probability-based KnowledgePanel, which is designed
to be representative of the U.S. population. The
margin of sampling error for all respondents is
plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Respondents were first selected randomly using
telephone or mail survey methods, and later interviewed online.
People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn’t
otherwise have access to the Internet were provided access at no cost to them.

NEW YORK (AP) — A fully automated home
is still years away, but the building blocks are already here: the phone that turns on the coffee
maker from the bedroom, the thermostat that
controls the lights when you’re away, the window shades that lift when you say “good morning.”
Although these still aren’t items most people
seek out, they’re catching on. Research firm
Strategy Analytics estimates that the number of
U.S. households with some form of smart-home
system grew 30 percent in 2015 to 27 million, or
about 1 in 5.
With the backing of big names such as Samsung, Apple and Nest, a sister company of
Google’s, smart-home functionality is slowly
creeping into everyday homes. Even Amazon is
getting involved with its Echo speaker that can
respond to voice commands. At the CES gadget
show in Las Vegas, the scheduled topic of a Samsung keynote Thursday is the smart home of
today — not tomorrow or five years from now.
Here’s how you might start building your own
smart home:
GADGETS FIRST, CONNECTIVITY LATER
Drop the notion that you have to rewire your
entire home and replace all your lights and appliances.
Nest, a maker of smart-home products, says it
doesn’t market its camera, smoke alarm and thermostat as smart-home products, but as products
that happen to tap the Internet for increased functionality. From there, gadgets can start talking to
each other, whether they’re made by the same
manufacturer or by third parties.
Andrew Brooks, co-founder of Samsung’s
smart-home business, SmartThings, says households often start with security-related products,
such as locks and garage doors, and evolve from
there. Samsung’s new smart TVs will have builtin smart-home capabilities, negating the need to
buy a hub to get started.
What about your existing lights, TVs and coffee
makers? You can buy smart plugs; with a voice
command or tap of an app, you can then turn devices on or off once you’ve plugged them in.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT
During a trip over the holidays, I was able to
check my Nest camera through an app to confirm
that the lights were off. If they weren’t, Siri could
have turned them off, since my lights are connected to an iDevices smart plug synced with
Apple’s HomeKit system — and thus with Siri.
Motion sensors synced with a SmartThings hub
can tell me whether anyone, such as my super,
has been in my apartment. A Mr. Coffee machine
can start brewing with a tap of the phone, thanks
to integration with Belkin’s WeMo system.
When home, I can group products such that the
TV and main lights turn off and a night light
comes on when I say, “good night.”
It’s relatively straightforward to add components as time and budgets permit. With smart
locks, doors automatically lock when you leave.
Smart appliances such as the Nest thermostat can
also help save energy. Smart-home systems also
can incorporate window shades and irrigation
systems — perhaps the sprinklers briefly turn off
as you walk by.
THE SMART HOME DIVIDED
Though apps try to make the setup easy, there’s
still a lot to think about.
To get the most out of a smart home, you need
to assign lights and appliances to specific rooms
on the app. Then you need to enable automation
through the app — figuring out which devices do
what when you say “good morning” or “good
night.”
It isn’t too difficult for tech enthusiasts to figure
AP
This file photo, shows the Nest Cam at
Nest Labs in Palo Alto, Calif., a home security camera that can stream video to a
laptop or mobile device. A fully automated home is still years away, but the
building blocks are already here.
out, but it could be challenging for folks who
want things that “just work.”
Within days, I noticed some quirks in my setup.
Because my main lights are connected to a smart
plug, voice commands and the smartphone app
effectively take control, meaning I actually can’t
use the wall switch to turn the lights back on. It
takes a few extra seconds to activate Siri and tell
her what to do.
In theory, I could just have the lights come on
automatically when I open the front door, which
has a motion sensor attached. But that sensor is
tied to Samsung’s system, while the lights are
with Apple’s. And that coffee maker?
Samsung’s system works with some WeMo devices, but the coffee maker isn’t listed. The best
I could do is attach a coffee maker to a Samsung
smart plug, so that a bedroom motion sensor triggers coffee in the morning.
Besides Samsung, Apple, Nest, Amazon and
WeMo, there are also smaller systems from the
likes of Lowes and Insteon. Some systems work
with others, at least in some respects, but it’s far
from guaranteed.
Most people won’t be trying out competing systems the way I do, but my example does illustrate
how your first smart device might lock you into
an “ecosystem” controlled by a single company.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
It’s comforting to know whether your toaster
oven is off, but then you run the risk of accidentally issuing a command to turn it on. I briefly attached a space heater to a smart plug to turn on
when I say “good night.” I then quickly disconnected that, lest I start a fire. There are some
safety mechanisms; a smart oven from Whirlpool
ships without the ability to turn it on remotely
(though you could decide to activate that function). You need to be aware of safety hazards —
and ask.
In addition, you’ll have to trust that these systems are secure. Apple, for instance, requires that
HomeKit devices use chips it approves for security, but there might be other vulnerable points
once data leave the HomeKit environment.
Other companies make similar promises on security. But even with a strong password, I often
turn the Nest camera around to face the wall
when I’m home — just in case.

December
revenues
reflect growth
NASHVILLE — Tennessee
revenue collections for December
of 2015 reflected growth more
than the same period a year before. Finance and Administration
Commissioner Larry Martin reported today that state revenue
collections for December were
$1.1 billion, representing 8.95
percent growth and $91.1 million
more than December 2014. December sales tax collections represent consumer spending that
occurred in November. “Total revenues in December
were higher than expected due to
collections in the sales and corporate tax categories,” Martin said.
“We believe the December sales
tax growth rate, which includes
‘Black Friday’ and after-Thanksgiving sales, may have been influenced by lower gasoline prices
and renewed consumer confidence. January’s report will give
us a clearer picture with Christmas retail activity included.
“We are pleased with strong revenues but are concerned about the
economic impact of the stock
market and international issues as
we begin to work with the Legislature on a responsible spending
plan for the next fiscal year.”
On an accrual basis, December
is the fifth month in the 20152016 fiscal year.
Total collections in December
were $99.3 million more than the
budgeted estimate. The general
fund recorded collections above
the budgeted estimates in the
amount of $93 million, and the
four other funds that share in state
tax revenues were $6.3 million
more than the estimates.
Sales tax collections were $23.9
million more than the estimate for
December. The December growth
rate was 6.21 percent. For five
months revenues are $159.4 million higher than estimated, and
the year-to-date growth rate is
7.14 percent.
Franchise and excise taxes combined were $69.7 million more
than the budgeted estimate of
$200.8 million. For five months
revenues exceeded estimates by
$157.9 million.
Gasoline and motor fuel collections for December increased by
0.64 percent, which is $2.8 million more than the budgeted estimate of $71.8 million. For five
months revenues are $18.2 million more than estimates.
Tobacco tax collections were
$1.6 million less than the budgeted estimate of $20.3 million,
but for five months they have
recorded $4.2 million more than
estimated.
Privilege tax collections were
$.3 million more than the budgeted estimate of $18.9 million.
Year-to-date collections for five
months are $10.2 million more
than the budgeted estimate.
Inheritance and estate taxes
were above estimates by $1 million for the month. For five
months collections are $8.5 million more than the budgeted estimate.
Business tax collections were $1
million less than the December
estimate.
All other taxes for December
recorded a net increase of $4.2
million compared to estimates. Year-to-date collections for five
months were $373.5 million more
than the budgeted estimate. The
general fund recorded $343.4 in
collections above estimates and
the four other funds $30.1 million.
The budgeted revenue estimates
for 2015-2016 are based on the
State Funding Board’s consensus
recommendation of Dec. 16,
2014, and adopted by the first
session of the 109th General Assembly in April 2015. Also incorporated in the estimates are any
changes in revenue enacted during the 2015 session of the General Assembly. These estimates
are available on the state’s website at http://www.tn.gov/finance/article/fa-budget-rev.

49 years
Evon Hicks, wife of Jim Hicks, honoree, speaks with Steve Forgey, city president of SouthEast Bank; Linda Garrison, branch manager of
Willow avenue branch; and phyliss Burton, branch manager of the 10th Street branch. Hicks recently retired from SouthEast Bank with 49
years of banking.
Hicks retires from banking
By LaURa MILITaNa
COOKEVILLE — Jim Hicks has
seen a lot in his 49 years of banking.
From technology to the number of
banks in town, he’s certainly seen his
share of changes.
“There were just two banks when I
started,” he said. “Now, there are 17.”
He began his banking career on the
square at the old First National Bank.
He then went on to begin the old American Bank and Trust, then that was sold
to First American then to AmSouth.
Following that, he started Community
Bank in 2001 and then that was sold to
SouthEast Bank, what it is today where
he retired as senior vice president and
director.
Throughout the years, he and his wife
have been supporters of Tennessee
Tech, of which they are both graduates
of.
As American Bank and Trust president, he arranged for the bank to donate
the TTU Tennis Center on North Willow Avenue, one of the largest donations to the university at that time.
During his tenure at AmSouth, he coordinated bank efforts to provide
money to support two annual scholarships in TTU’s College of Business Administration.
Particularly active through the College of Business Administration Foundation, Hicks has served as president,
Jim Hicks reminisces about his many years of banking prior to his retirement reception held last week.
vice president and secretary of the
Board of Trustees and as a board member. Through the foundation, he established the Jim and Evon Hicks
Scholarship for an undergraduate business major.
He is also a past recipient of the college’s Louis Johnson Outstanding
Alumnus Award.
During efforts to renovate spaces in
TTU’s Johnson Hall, Hicks supported
the Tommy Lynn Executive Suite and
Virginia Plummer Reception Room
projects. He is frequently involved with
other colleges and groups of students.
He’s served on numerous TTU job
search committees and was a College
of Arts and Sciences Board of Visitors
Founding Member. He formerly served
as chapter adviser for Sigma Chi Fraternity and as a member of the University Christian Center Advisory Board.
He was also TTU’s 1978-79 National
Chairman of Development.
In his community service, Jim Hicks
served as the 2004 Putnam County
American Red Cross chairperson as
well as the 2004 chairperson for the
Friends of Scouting for the Upper
Cumberland.
He’s held offices including past president of Breakfast Rotary, past chairman of the Cookeville/Putnam County
Chamber of Commerce and treasurer of
both the Putnam Friends of the Library
and the Bryan Symphony Orchestra.
He also serves as a deacon at Jefferson Avenue Church of Christ.
And in the many years in the field of
banking, he has seen generations of
families come in and bank with him —
and technology change the way banking is done.
“Over the years, banking has improved so much,” he said.
He recalled the days when the bank
would be the social spot of town.
“People would come in, sit down and
chat with you about what’s happening
in their lives,” he said. “Now, we
hardly ever see customers due to the
convenience of mobile deposits and
other technology aspects.”
Originally from Knoxville, he came to
Cookeville to attend TTU. His mother
and father also attended TTU.
In retirement, he is looking forward to
traveling and visiting his son, daughterin-law, and soon-to-be three grandchildren.
“I’m really going to miss the customers and the people employed with
the bank,” he said.
The Sculpting Spa offers alternative to surgery
By LaURa MILITaNa
COOKEVILLE — A relatively new
method of reducing fat is now available
in Cookeville with the opening of The
Sculpting Spa.
Natasha Jain said it’s something she
was skeptical of when she first heard
about it, but did the research and worked
to bring it to Cookeville.
“I’m always looking for opportunities
to offer new services in Cookeville,” she
said. “This is very different than weight
loss.”
CoolSculpting is technology developed by Harvard scientists that uses
controlled cooling to target and crystal-
lize fat cells. The fat is safely chilled to
damage the fat cells without harming
surrounding skin or tissue. During the
weeks following the procedure, the
body will naturally eliminate the damaged fat cells, resulting in an undeniable
loss of fat.
The FDA approved treatment, on average, is reported to have a 30 percent reduction of fat in treated areas.
“Patients can start to see results as soon
as two weeks following a treatment,”
Jain said. “Results can be seen up to 16
weeks.”
Consultations are required to formulate
a personal treatment plan to help
achieve the goals wanted.
“Consultations are essential to formu-
lating a personalized goal,” she said. “It
also gives us an idea of how many treatments are needed.”
Treatment can last one hour per treatment area. Around 8-12 weeks, a reassessment will be done to determine if
the goals are being met.
“Treatment areas include the abdomen,
upper and lower flanks, inner and outer
thights and, for good candidates, the
‘arm jiggle,’” she said.
“This procedure does not redistribute
fat,” she continued. “And following a
treatment, you can go about your daily
routine.”
Jain has always been in the healthcare
field and heard about CoolSculpting
while in Nashville.
“This is something that I believe
Cookeville can benefit from,” she said.
To achieve certification — something
only a handful of practices in the country have — all of her staff, along with
medical director Dr. Pushpendra Jain attended the CoolSculpting University.
“We had three full days of training, totaling about 200 hours altogether,” she
said. “We also visited other practices to
see how it’s done.”
Having a medical director on hand is
an asset to this business, along with a
nurse practitioner performing the procedures.
Jain sees a lot of potential with

Goals limiting
one another
D
ear Dave: My husband and
I are currently renting an
apartment for $1,200 a
month. Together, we bring home
about $7,000 a month, and we’d really like to buy a house soon. Right
now we have
about $10,000
Dave
in debt on a
boat along with
Says
ongoing stable
bills, food and
upkeep for our
three horses.
What price
range of houses
should we look
at in our situation?
Michelle
Dear
Dave
Michelle:
HomeownerRamsey
ship is a great
goal, but first you two need to
clean up your debt and build an
emergency fund of three to six
months of expenses. After that, I
want you to save up enough for a
down payment of at least 10 to 20
percent. When buying a home on a
mortgage, I always recommend the
monthly payments be no more than
25 percent of your monthly takehome pay on a 15-year, fixed-rate
loan.
Now, let’s get to the other issues.
You have some things in your life
that are pulling at you financially.
At some point, you may have to
take a long look at the situation and
ask the hard question, “What is
more important to me: horses and
boats or home ownership?” Getting
rid of that boat, or finding new
homes for one, two or all of your
horses, would bring in some cash
to put toward your debt and cut
down on at least some of the animal maintenance.
Anyway, that’s how I would look
at it. My wife and I both are big
fans of boats and horses. But we
like boats more. One reason is because they don’t eat as much! I
can’t get mad at you about either
one, but right now you’ve got three
things pulling at you as financial
priorities — home ownership, a
boat and three horses. They’re all
pulling at you, and they’re pulling
at each other and limiting each
other.
Of course, you can always buy a
lot less in house. But what it really
comes down to is what’s most important to you. That’s the big question, and it’s one that only you can
answer.
Dear Dave: I don’t understand
why you don’t like it when people
properly manage their credit cards
and pay them off every month. By
doing this, you pay no interest and
in my case I even got a free trip to
Europe from using my credit card.
Please explain.
Patrick
Dear Patrick: I truly doubt that I
can explain it to your satisfaction,
but here goes. First, the credit card
company did not give you a free
trip to Europe. They’re not going to
lose money on transaction after
transaction, year after year. The fallacy is that you feel like you’ve
outsmarted a multi-billion dollar
company that studies human behavior at incredible levels. You
maybe, possibly came out ahead
against them during that particular
calendar year, but even that’s debatable.
Over the course of your life,
you’ll spend more when using
credit cards as opposed to cash.
There’s plenty of research proving
this to be fact. If you use a credit
card repeatedly with the idea that
you’re getting a free trip to Europe
because you’re building up your
miles, you spend more. An example would be McDonald’s. When
they started taking credit cards
years ago, they found that the people using them spent 47 percent
more.
In a good way, you are very unusual. You’re not playing over in
the stupid zone like most people
who use credit cards. But both I
and the credit card companies have
found that, on average, your behavior would put you in a class of less
than one-half of one percent of
theircustomers. Can 0.5 percent of
people handling snakes manage not
to get bitten? Sure. But that doesn’t
mean I’m going to start recommending snakes!

PHOENIX (AP) — A
Phoenix bus drivers union announced a bus strike late
Thursday after drivers rejected
a labor contract, officials said.
The walkout comes as the area
gears up for the college football championship.
A city transportation official
said that the drivers voted
against the transit company’s
offer Thursday.
The union called for the
work stoppage to start at midnight, Public Transit Department spokesman Lars Jacoby
said.
He said that Transdev — a
city-contracted transit company — told his office that the
drivers rejected the company’s
“last and best offer.”
A strike will likely disrupt
bus service throughout
Phoenix with thousands of
college football fans expected
to be in the city leading up to
Monday night’s national
championship game between
Clemson and Alabama in suburban Glendale.
Amalgamated Transit Union
Local 1433 officials had called
for a midnight Monday walkout after contract talks stalled.
But both sides returned to the
negotiation table Tuesday.
Phoenix Public Transit Department had already warned
bus riders to prepare for a
strike beginning Friday on
Transdev’s 34 routes.
“We are very disappointed
that our operators are being instructed by ATU 1433 to
strike,” Transdev said in a
news release. “Our focus now
will shift in preparing to provide valley riders with the
service they have come to expect.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Netflix has already crossed off
the biggest item on its New
Year’s list of resolutions. The
Internet video service debuted
in 130 countries Wednesday in
a surprise move likely to reel in
millions of new subscribers.
CEO Reed Hastings revealed
the scope of Netflix’s expansion
at the end of a presentation in
Las Vegas at CES, one of the
technology industry’s marquee
events.
“You are witnessing the birth
of a global TV network,” Hastings crowed on stage.
The news caught almost
everyone off guard because
Netflix had previously set a
goal of being available in most
of the world by the end of this
year. It looked like the Los
Gatos, California, company had
plenty of work ahead it because
it ended December in 60 countries.
Now, Netflix is available in 21
different languages and streaming in just about every market
that it had in its sights, with the
notable exception of China, the
world’s most populous country.
Entering China may be a formi-
Streaming video service now available in
21 different languages and in almost every
market except China, North Korea, Syria
and Crimea
dable challenge requiring potentially prickly negotiations
with a government that blocks
its citizenry from seeing material it considers objectionable or
incendiary.
Netflix currently has no plans
to push into North Korea, Syria
or Crimea because of restrictions on U.S. companies operating in those countries.
Investors were delighted with
Netflix’s quantum leap across
the globe. Its stock climbed
$8.78, or 8 percent, $116.44 on
a grim day in the rest of the
market.
The uptick in the shares reflects a belief that Netflix is
now in a position to sign up
more subscribers this year than
analysts had previously anticipated, generating additional
revenue that the company can
spend on TV series and movies
as it bids against rivals such as
HBO, Amazon.com, YouTube
and Hulu for licensing rights.
Netflix Inc. began the year
with more than 70 million sub-
scribers and management had
already vowed to spend about
$5 billion this year licensing
video from studios around the
world.
Increasingly, Netflix has been
buying material that only can be
seen on its service, with more
than 600 hours of original programming lined up for this year.
That slate encompasses more
than 50 exclusive TV shows
and movies, including awardwinning series such as “House
of Cards” and “Orange Is the
New Black.”
Although Netflix is now virtually worldwide, not of all its entertainment will be available
everywhere. For instance, a
prized licensing contract that
gives Netflix the rights to Walt
Disney films after their theatrical release will be limited to the
U.S. and Canada as part of a
deal negotiated several years
ago. Hastings told reporters
Wednesday that Netflix is hoping to expand those rights into
other countries.
Netflix has come up with a
formula that has proven addictive as its service has transformed the entertainment
industry by allowing people to
watch video anytime they want
on an Internet-connected device.
Hastings revealed Wednesday
that Netflix subscribers watched
42.5 billion hours of programming last year, including 12 billion
hours
in
the
October-December fourth quarter. The fourth-quarter viewership volume represented a
nearly 50 percent increase from
8.25 billion hours the previous
year. Put another way, Netflix
subscribers are now watching a
weekly average of 13 hours of
programming, up from 12 hours
the previous year.
In remarks to reporters, Hastings likened the near-completion of Netflix’s worldwide
expansion to a parent having a
baby. “It’s a big deal, but the
real work is the next 20 years,”
Hastings, 55, said.
One of Netflix’s next challenges will be delivering on its
promise to make its international operations profitable by
next year. Hastings said the
company is on track to fulfill
that pledge.
Scandal-hit Volkswagen sees
sales fall two percent in 2015
By DAVID McHUGH
AP Business Writer
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — German automaker Volkswagen says its global
sales fell 2 percent last year as it struggled
with a scandal over cars it had rigged to
evade diesel emissions tests in the U.S.
Sales volume dropped to 9.931 million
vehicles from 10.14 million the year before. The scandal became known only in
late September, so it could only have affected figures in the last months of the year.
Sales plunged 37 percent in Russia and 38
percent in Brazil as those economies
slowed, accounting for much of the overall
drop. Weaker sales in China, the source of
much of the company’s profits, also hurt.
Deliveries rose by 1.2 percent in the
United States for the full year, though they
fell slightly in December.
The figures announced Friday were for all
Volkswagen’s brands, including SEAT and
Skoda as well as luxury makes Audi and
Porsche. The Volkswagen flagship brand
saw sales fall a sharper 4.8 percent.
“Delivering almost ten million vehicles is
an excellent result, particularly in view of
the continued challenging market situation
in some regions as well as the diesel issue
in the final quarter of last year,” CEO
Matthias Mueller said in a statement.
In 2014, Volkswagen finished just behind
Toyota in the contest for the title of world’s
largest automaker by sales, while General
Motors was third. GM and Toyota announce full-year figures later this month.
Volkswagen briefly pulled ahead for the
first six months of 2015 but then slipped
behind Toyota.
The company originally set a goal of pass-

John Swanton, spokesman with the California Air Resources Board explains how a 2013 Volkswagen Passat with a diesel engine is evaluated at
the emissions test lab in El Monte, Calif.
ing Toyota by 2018, but since the scandal
broke has said it is placing less emphasis
on raw sales numbers.
CEO Mueller says the company is working to change its culture to prevent future
wrongdoing.
The company has commissioned an investigation by U.S. law firm Jones Day.
The U.S. Justice Department is suing
Volkswagen, saying it equipped 600,000
cars with software that turned off emissions
controls when the vehicle was not on the
test stand. Volkswagen says 11 million cars
worldwide have the software.
It faces billions in potential fines and costs
for recalls as well as lost sales.
West Virginia attorney general sues drug wholesaler
By JOHN RABY
Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West
Virginia’s attorney general has accused one
of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical drug
wholesalers of flooding the state with tens
of millions of prescription pills in violation
of state law.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey on Friday announced a lawsuit against San Francisco-based McKesson Corp. Among other
things, the lawsuit alleges violations of
state consumer protection laws and the
Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
Morrisey said the company failed to detect, report and stop the flood of suspicious
prescription drug orders into the state, contributing to widespread drug abuse.
“This failure is one cause of many for the
state’s prescription drug overdose rate, decreased worker productivity and the wasteful expenditure of precious state
resources,” Morrisey said.
McKesson didn’t immediately respond to
an email request for comment.
Morrisey said in a statement that an investigation by his office found that McKesson
delivered about 99.5 million doses of hydrocodone and oxycodone to West Virginia
between 2007 and 2012.
The company’s shipment of 10.2 million
doses to Logan County alone in southern
West Virginia would have provided more
than 276 doses to every resident in the
county, he said.
In Mingo County, McKesson shipped 3.4
million doses in 2007.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, West Virginia
leads the nation in the rate of fatal drug
overdoses. The state’s rate was 28.9 overdose deaths per 100,000 people in 2010,
most of those involving prescription drugs.
In 1999, the state’s fatal overdose rate was
4.1 per 100,000 people.
Former state Attorney General Darrell
McGraw filed a lawsuit in Boone County
Circuit Court in 2012 accusing multiple
distributors of sending excessive amounts
of prescription painkillers to southern West
Virginia pharmacies.
The lawsuit remains active, and Morrisey
said he’d like to merge it with the complaint against McKesson.
“The flooding of prescription pills into
our state is a very serious problem that involves all parts of the pharmaceutical supply channel,” Morrisey said. “No one group
or industry sector is solely responsible for
this problem; a solution must involve many
actors, including doctors, pharmacies,
wholesalers, manufacturers and government bodies.”
In 2012, McKesson agreed to pay $151
million to West Virginia, 28 other states and
the District of Columbia to settle a lawsuit
alleging the company inflated prices of
hundreds of prescription drugs, causing
state Medicaid programs to overpay millions of dollars in reimbursements.
The agreement settled allegations the
company deliberately inflated drug prices
by as much as 25 percent from 2001 to
2009.

Lady Govs rally, overpower Golden Eagles
Missed shots,
turnovers in second
quarter allow
Austin Peay to get
back in game
TTU Sports Information
CLARKSVILLE — A 17-0 second
quarter run by Austin Peay brought the
Lady Govs back from the brink of extinction, and the home team carried the
day as APSU claimed a 91-75 Ohio Valley Conference victory over Tennessee
Tech Saturday evening in the Dunn Center.
Tech

The Golden Eagles (5-12, 1-3 OVC)
had their way in the first quarter, riding
a scoring explosion by
Samaria Howard to
roll out to the huge,
23-8 early lead.
But missed shots and
turnovers caught up
quickly after the
of periods, and
Women’s change
the Lady Govs (5-11,
Basketball 3-0 OVC) rattled back
to take a 25-23 lead.
The game turned into a real donnybrook the rest of the way, and Austin
Peay found a little more variety in the
scoring column to hold on down the
stretch, plus an over abundance of free
throws. The Lady Govs went 34-for-41
at the charity stripe. Tech had about half
as many chances, going 16-for-22 at the
line.
Howard finished with 28 points and
eight rebounds, while Yaktavia Hickson
added 15 points and a team-leading four
assists. Hannah Goolsby and Lindsey
Alexander netted nine each, and Mariah
Dean added six points and a game-best
nine rebounds.
APSU countered with three players
deep into double figures. Tiasha Gray
led APSU with 32 points along with
seven rebounds and seven assists, while
Beth Rates had 18 points and seven rebounds and Brianne Alexander finished
with 17 points and eight rebounds.
Each team lost two players to fouls in
a game where 52 fouls were whistled, 30
on the visitors and 22 on the Govs.
Five different players dented the scor-
ing charts in the first quarter, and a 17-4
run left Tech with a 23-8 lead with 1:38
remaining.
APSU’s 17-0 run began with a layup
by Tearra Banks and ended when Falon
Baker’s 3-pointer made it 25-23 wit 5:45
to play in the half. A layup by Howard
snapped Tech’s 5:53 scoreless streak.
The score was tied six times in the thirf
period, and once more in the fourth, the
final time coming with 7:51 remaining
at 61-61.
A three-point play by Gray with 6:48
to go put the Govs ahead, a lead they
held the rest of the way.
Tech was within six, 70-64, following
a free throw by Jennings with 4:20 remaining, but a 3-pointer 18 seconds later
by Baker game the Govs some breathing
room. Austin Peay was 14-for-16 at the

Rowe had 27 points and seven assists and Aleksa Jugovic buried a

the most treys hit by a Golden
Eagle since Kevin Murphy hit
seven against Murray State in
2012. He was joined in double figures by Anthony Morse, who
notched his second career doubledouble with 12 points and 10 rebounds before being whistled for
a fifth foul late in the contest.
Hakeem Rogers added nine, Jugovic and Mason Ramsey scored
eight apiece, and Ryan Martin
added six points and nine rebounds despite playing a large
chunk of the night in foul trouble.
One of the nation’s best free
throw shooting teams, Tech struggled at the charity stripe by hitting
just over half of its tries. The
Golden Eagles, who only shot two
free throws in the first half when
the Govs were called for just three
fouls, finished the night 8-for-15
at the line for 53 percent.
Chris Horton recorded a doubledouble to lead the Govs with 20
points and 11 rebounds, but he
also couldn’t find the mark at the
free throw line, going 4-for-10. In
fact, Austin Peay was 8-for-18 at
the line for 44 percent. Josh
Robinson added 16 points on 4for-7 shooting from long range,
and eight rebounds. Kenny Jones
managed 11 points and six rebounds as Austin Peay owned a
33-28 margin on the glass.
Coming out of a 59-all tie, Ramsey hit a layup with four minutes
to play on a drive and feed by Jugovic to nudge the Golden Eagles
out front by two. Shirmane
Thomas’ jumper – his only points
of the night – made it a four-point
Tech lead with 2:25 to play, before
Robinson’s fourth 3-pointer of the
game cut it back to one point, 6362, with 2:11 left.
Seconds later, Rowe split the defense and drove through the lane,
dishing it off to Morse for a layup
with 1:55 left for a 65-62 lead.
The Govs got one free throw before Rowe’s driving layup high off
the glass put it back to a four-point
edge. Once again, APSU made
one free throw for a thee-point difference, before Martin calmly
knocked down two free throws to

free throw line the rest of the way.
APSU shot 52 percent in the second
half and finished the game hitting 47.3
percent (26-for-55). After hitting 46 percent in the first half, Tech cooled off to
36 percent in the second, for a game
mark of 41.2 percent. The Golden Eagles held a 38-37 edge in rebounds.
Tech’s next outing will feature an 11
a.m. tipoff time as the Golden Eagles
travel to Martin, Tenn., for their lone
meeting with the UT Martin Skyhawk
women.
Following that game to wrap up their
three-game road stretch, the Golden
Eagles return to Eblen Center on Saturday, Jan. 16, when they host Southast
Missouri at 5:30 p.m. to open an OVC
doubleheader against the Redhawk
teams.

Cookeville’s Riley Masters tries to find an opening to take a shot during the Lady Cavaliers’ 47-24
victory over Warren County on Friday night at CHS.
COOKEVILLE — Cookeville improved its
district 6-AAA records Friday night as the
Lady Cavaliers beat the Warren County Lady
Pioneers 47-34 to improve to 2-1 in the district,
and the Cavaliers dominated the Pioneers 6542 to improve to 3-0.
“Any time you get a district
win, it’s awesome,” commented Lady Cavs head
coach Mindy Odom. “Our
girls were pretty tired tonight,
but we did a pretty good job.
I felt like, in the fourth quarter, we had all of
our timeouts, so we were just taking them and
trying to rest. I felt like we had a good mental
effort. We didn’t do everything perfect, but it
was a good team win.”
And the Lady Cavs certainly weren’t perfect
but they still had a great performance.
The Lady Cavs shot 47 percent on the evening
and 46 percent from behind the arc, whereas
the Lady Pioneers only shot 35 percent on the
night and 20 percent from behind the arc. However, the only area where the Lady Pioneers
outperformed the Lady Cavs was the free
throw department, where the Lady Cavs continue to struggle, as the Lady Pioneers made 10
of their 14 free throws for 71 percent and the
Lady Cavs only made five of their 12 free
throws for 42 percent.
The Lady Cavs managed to force 11 turnovers
from the Lady Pioneers and held them to only
14 rebounds, while the Lady Cavs pulled down
20 rebounds.
The win was due, in large part, to some great
shooting in the first half.
Sydney Bean scored the first basket of the
game with a 3-pointer, and she had already
made another trey before the first three minutes
were up. Heidi Smith added a three before the
end of the quarter giving the Lady Cavs a 19See CHS, Page F4

By CRAIG DELK
Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN
GAINESBORO — Coming out of Jackson
County’s Kermit Forkum Gym with a sweep
isn’t an easy feat.
Upperman accomplished just that Friday
night. The Class AA No. 4-ranked Lady Bees
used a strong start to get a double-digit lead
and held off the Class A No. 9-ranked Lady
Blue Devils 50-41, while the No. 6 Bees rode
a 31-point performance from Austyn
McWilliams to beat the No. 9 Blue Devils
82-65 in the nightcap.
The Lady Bees’ win helped them avenge a
45-40 loss on Dec. 5 at UHS.
“They have a really great program here and
Jim does a great job,” UHS girls coach Dana
McWilliams said. “(The earlier loss) was the
one game we felt like we did not play well at
our place. We were very
disappointed in the outcome and in the way we
played, and they’ve been
looking forward to getting
an opportunity to play them
again.”
Upperman (17-2) opened up as much as a
12-point lead in the third quarter when
Brooke Farris’ driving basket gave the Lady
Bees a 29-17 advantage. However, Jackson
County answered with back-to-back 3-pointers from Kassidy Allen and Cameron Sherrell to slice the deficit in half.
The Lady Bees bounced back, though,

Shoop to take over
as Tennessee’s D.C.
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Bob
Shoop has agreed in principle to
leave Penn State and become
Tennessee’s defensive coordinator.
Volunteers coach Butch Jones
announced the
move Saturday
night.
Tennessee athletic
department
spokesman
Ryan Robinson
said Shoop agreed to a three-year
contract worth $1.15 million annually.
Robinson said Tennessee isn’t
responsible for any buyout
Shoop owes to get out of his
Penn State contract. Robinson
said the buyout details would be
handled between Shoop and
Penn State.
“This was not an easy decision
and one that I didn’t take lightly,”
Shoop said in a statement. “Over
the last 24 hours, I had an opportunity with meet with Coach
Jones and his staff. It became evident to me that he is building a
great program, a program on the
rise and certainly one that will
compete for an SEC championship. I’m looking forward to
becoming a part of the team.”
Shoop replaces John Jancek,
who was Tennessee’s defensive
coordinator the last three seasons. Jones announced Wednesday that Jancek wouldn’t be back

No. 21 Texas A&M rallies for victory over Tennessee
By STEVE MEGARGEE
AP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Whenever
Texas A&M began to doubt its chances,
its seniors took command.
Jalen Jones scored 27 points and made
a tiebreaking basket with 1:28 left, helping No. 21 Texas A&M erase a 13-point,
second-half deficit and beat Tennessee
92-88 on Saturday for its sixth straight
victory.
“We were very fortunate,” Texas A&M
coach Billy Kennedy said. “I’m proud of
our guys. I feel like we stole a win just
by hanging tough and sticking together.”
The Aggies (13-2, 3-0 SEC) can point
to experience for the victory.
Jones, a senior, was one point off his career high. Danuel House, another senior,
added 23 points after missing Wednesday’s victory over Mississippi State for
what an athletic department official described at the time as a personal matter.
The senior contingent also includes
Alex Caruso, who had 13 points, seven
assists, five rebounds and five steals. A
fourth senior — South Florida graduate
transfer Anthony Collins — finished
with nine assists and no turnovers.
“When doubt tried to step in, we didn’t
allow it to happen,” House said. “We just

Punter (0) attempts a layup in the final seconds of Tennessee’s 92-88
loss in Knoxville on Saturday.
wanted to get one stop and get a good
shot and possession for ourselves — then
try to get another stop. We just went stop
by stop.”
Texas A&M led 90-88 in the closing
seconds when Tennessee’s Kevin Punter
Jr. attempted a driving layup that went
off the rim. Tennessee kept possession
and got the ball to Detrick Mostella,
whose 3-point shot went around and out
with about 10 seconds left. House sank
two free throws with six seconds left to
seal the victory.
Before Texas A&M’s seniors came
through, Tennessee freshmen Admiral
Schofield and Shembari Phillips were
emerging as the story of this game. The
two newcomers combined for 21 firsthalf points.
Schofield finished with 16 while
Phillips had a career-high 15. Punter
scored 17 of his 19 points in the second
half to lead the Vols, who committed a
season-high 18 turnovers.
Tennessee (8-7, 1-2 SEC) was ahead by
10 points with just over four minutes left
when Texas A&M ran off 11 straight
points. Texas A&M converted Caruso’s
steal into Tyler Davis’ layup with 2:12
left, giving the Aggies their first lead
since the opening minutes.
Schofield said the Aggies’ experience
may have made an impact down the
stretch “in a sense, just having that IQ,
knowing the game, being comfortable in
your skin, in playing the game.”
“But I feel like my mindset is it doesn’t
matter how old you are, how big you are,
everybody’s got to compete,” Schofield
said. “In those last six minutes, we didn’t
compete to the best of our ability.”
Schofield made one of two free throws
to make it 85-all with 1:41 remaining before Jones scored inside to put Texas
A&M ahead for good.
TIP-INS
Texas A&M: The Aggies have the
NCAA Division I active career leaders in
assists (Collins, 643) and steals (Caruso,
235).
Tennessee: Schofield is averaging 18.3
points in SEC play. He averages 4.8
points in nonconference games.
PAINT PRODUCTION
Tennessee didn’t start anyone taller
than 6-foot-5, yet the Vols outscored the
taller Aggies 20-10 in the first half. The
Aggies turned that around by outscoring
Tennessee 28-8 in paint points after halftime.
“It came down to toughness in the first
half,” Schofield said. “In the second half,
we just let off the gas.”
KEY STATS
Tennessee shot 49.2 percent from the
field but missed eight of its last nine attempts. ... Texas A&M hadn’t allowed
anyone to exceed 74 points or shoot better than 47.2 percent before Saturday. ...
Texas A&M has beaten Tennessee four
straight times. Those four matchups were
decided by a total of 14 points and included one overtime game.

Texas A&M: Hosts Florida on Tuesday.

Cavs take eighth in Soddy Showdown
From staff reports
SODDY DAISY — The
Cookeville
High
School
wrestling team traveled to Soddy
Daisy on Saturday to compete in
the Soddy Daisy Showdown.
Cookeville took an overall team
place of eighth with 51 points,
and Bradley Houmard had the
best finish of the day as he took
fourth place in the 132 lbs weight
class and scored 11 points for his
team.
Houmard received a bye in the
first round of the tournament, but
lost the quarterfinal round by pinfall in the second period to Brady
Ingram of Independence High
School. Moving into the consolation rounds, Houmard received
another bye before pinning
Striker King of Cleveland High
School in the second period of
consolation
round
three.
Houmard then pinned Kiefer
Bangham of Centennial High
School with 11 seconds left in the
first period of the consolation
semifinal, but fell to Ingram again
in the first period of the third
place match for his fourth place
position.
Hunter Harcum (106) had a similar performance as he received a
first round bye, lost by decision in
the quarterfinal round, received
another bye, and then won his
consolation third round by decision, but Harcum lost his conso-

lation semifinal round stopping
his action for the day.
Samuel Hadlock (113) had a
tough day as he lost his first
round and consolation round by
pinfall preventing him from scoring any team points.
Justin Rodgers (113) was able to
win his first round by pinfall before losing by pinfall in the quarterfinal round to move him to
consolation. After a bye consola-
tion round two, Rodgers won
consolation round three by major
decision (15-1), but lost by pinfall
in the consolation semifinal round
for his last match of the day.
Rodgers scored seven points for
CHS.
Jarrett Talbott was another
wrestler to receive a first round
bye, lose by pinfall in the quarterfinal round, and receive another bye going into consolation.
Talbott won by decision in consolation round three before losing
by major decision in the consolation semifinal round, which allowed him to score two points for
CHS.
Corey Denson (132) and Luke
Denney (138) both lost their first
rounds by decision, received byes
in consolation round one, and lost
consolation round two to keep
them from scoring any team
points.
Derrick Christensen (138) received a bye in the first round before winning the quarterfinal
round by pinfall to save himself
from consolation for a round, but
he lost in the semifinal round by
decision sending him to the consolation semifinal where he lost
by pinfall. Christensen scored six
points for CHS.
Jesse Saunders (145) lost in the
first round by major decision, but
he was not given any byes in consolation. Saunders won consolation round one by pinfall, won
consolation round two by decision, but lost consolation round
three by major decision. Saunders
scored four points for CHS.
Ben Bos (152) started off with a
pinfall victory in the first round,
but was pinned in the quarterfinal
round to send him to consolation.
Bos then won two matches in a
row by pinfall and decision respectively before losing in the
consolation semifinal round by
major decision. Bos scored the
second most team points befind
Houmard with eight.
Unfortunately, Cole Gentry’s
(160) night was fairly short as he
received a first round bye then
lost his two matches by pinfall
and decision respectively, preventing him from scoring any
team points.
Dyllan Houser (170) won his
first round by decision but was
pinned in the quarterfinal round,
sending him down to consolation
round two where he faced off
with fellow teammate Kaige
Whitaker (170). Whitaker had
lost his first round to send him to
consolation but won his first consolation match to send him to the
matchup with Houser. Houser
beat Whitaker in the very last second of the first period ending
Whitakers night, while Houser
went on to win consolation round
three by decision before getting
pinned in the consolation semifinal.
Jack Wiggins and Cole Cunningham (182) were the only
other CHS wrestlers to face each
other. They faced off in the first
round, and Wiggins pinned Cunningham in the third period to
send Cunningham to consolation
and Wiggins to the quarterfinal
round. However, neither of them
won another match as Wiggins
lost his quarterfinal and consolation round by pinfall, and
Whitaker received a bye then lost
by pinfall in his consolation
match.
Jake Harrington (195) started
out with a close decision victory
before getting pinned in the
quarterfinal round to send him
to consolation. Harrington went
on to get a pinfall victory in
consolation round two, but he
fell just short in a decision in
consolation round three to end
his evening.
Finally, Zach Flatt (285) started
a little slow as he got pinned in
his first match but got a break as
he received a bye in consolation
round one. Flatt then won his next
two matches by decision before
getting pinned in the consolation
semifinal round.
“We had a tough day today,”
commented CHS head coach
Scott Cook. “This was great
preparation for the region and
state tournaments. The guys
fought hard. We had several make
it to the consolation semis but just
couldn't get through. This was our
first individual tournament of the
year. It's a different animal. The
intensity level is higher and
there's a lot more riding on each
match. Lots of pressure. I'm
proud of all of them. We’ve just
got to keep moving forward and
getting better.”
Cookeville now looks forward
to heading into Smyrna on Tuesday for their next team meet.

going on a 10-3 run that ended with
Akira Levy’s driving basket and
upped the lead to 13 (39-26) with
6:08 left in the fourth. Jackson
County made one more push, twice
pulling to within five before Upperman closed out the victory.
“I told the kids that they’re a good
team and they’re gonna make a run
at you,” McWilliams recalled.
“You’ve gotta try to withstand that
run. They’ve got some really great
players. Kassidy Allen is one of the
best players in the Upper Cumberland, and McKenzie Flynn and
Cameron Sherrell. They’ve got some
good players, and they’re not easy to
guard for us.”
Levy finished with a game-high 24
points for Upperman, while Gracie
Maynord added nine points. Lexie
Strickland also had a strong outing,
chipping in seven points and controlling the glass with 14 rebounds.
Allen came close to a double-double, leading the Lady Blue Devils
(12-3) with 19 points and eight rebounds. Sherrell added nine points
and seven boards, and Flynn chipped
in eight points.
After falling behind by double digits in the first quarter, Jackson
County trimmed the deficit to six
(16-10) early in the second when
Allen swiped a steal and completed
a layup. From there, both teams
began to experience some foul trouble as Allen was charged with her
third, and Upperman’s Levy and Farris each picked up their second.
Strickland’s offensive rebound and
putback with 2:30 left were the last
points of the half, and gave the Lady
Bees a 23-15 lead at the break.
The Lady Bees got off to a hot start,
as Maynord’s steal and layup made it
7-2 with 5:14 remaining in the opening quarter. Upperman eventually led
by as many as 10 in the frame when
Levy drained a floater to make it 166 with 1:40 left.
“The first quarter killed us,” JCHS
girls coach Jim Brown lamented.
“We got in too deep a hole. Then
Kassidy got three fouls in the first
half, and that really put us in a hard
spot. But I was really proud of our
team. I thought we did a good job of
keeping it close with her out, and
then we made a run at them in the
second half.”
In the finale, the Blue Devils (10-5)
hung in through the first quarter,
trailing just 18-17 after Jonah
Smith’s driving basket with nine seconds left. But the Bees’ Jake
Dronebarger banked in a contested,
deep 3-pointer as time expired for a
21-17 lead.
Upperman (15-2) began to take
control in the final half of the second
quarter, ending the frame on a 10-2
run. Ben Guffey capped the run with
a 3-pointer from the left corner with
just two seconds left, giving the Bees
a 41-28 advantage.
“I thought we played pretty well in
the first half, and we came out in the
second half and cleaned some things
up,” Bees coach Bobby McWilliams
said. “… We’re getting there. We’ve
still got some wrinkles to iron out,
but we’re getting there and I’m pretty
proud of their intensity. And their togetherness is getting a lot better –
they’re starting to play with each
other and get better and understanding each other more.”
Austin Shrum sandwiched a pair of
3s around a Guffey trifecta early in
the third quarter as the Bees steadily
began to pull away. They eventually
went ahead by as many as 30 (74-44)
early in the fourth quarter when
Austyn McWilliams made a driving
basket.
McWilliams went off for 31 points
and four assists, while Josh Endicott
tallied a double-double with 13
points and 14 rebounds. Guffey and
Shrum added 11 points each, and the
Bees buried 13 3-pointers as a team.
“Austyn’s had a couple of days
where he has practiced really well
and has been into it mentally,”
Bobby McWilliams said. “He’s gotten back from Christmas and is
rested up. I’m happy for him. It’s
been one of our guys every night.
“We thought all of our kids played
well, but it seemed like Austyn’s opportunities were a little more than the
others at times,” he added. “And
some of it was things he created.
These guys are understanding that
any of them are capable of that any
night, and as a coach that’s a lot of
fun.”
James Coe topped JCHS with 19
points and eight rebounds, while
Colby Brown and Joe Brown each
added 11 points. Smith chipped in 11
points for the Blue Devils, who were
without starting guard Isaac Phillips
because of an injury.
“Being a little bit short-handed hurt
us, but golly, they shot it great,”
JCHS boys coach Gary Flynn said of
Upperman. “It was unbelievable. I
thought that was as good a game as
anybody’s played against us all
year.”
Upperman gets back into District 8AA play Tuesday, hosting Cannon
County. Jackson County hosts
Cookeville on Tuesday before getting into the meat of District 7-A play
Friday at home against Clarkrange.
14 first quarter lead.
The second quarter was pretty quiet for
the most part with the Lady Cavs only
outscoring the Lady Pioneers 6-4, but
with one minute left, Smith hit back-toback 3-pointers to bump the Lady Cavs
advantage up to 13 points and a halftime
score of 31-18.
The second half was relatively quiet as
well as the Lady Cavs played a little
keep-away here and there to run down
the clock. The Lady Pioneers outscored
the Lady Cavs 6-5 in the third quarter,
and then the subs began to come into the
game in the fourth. The scoring picked
up a little bit , but the Lady Cavs were
able to maintain their deficit and finish
the game strong.
Smith led the Lady Cavs with arguably
her best game of the season. Smith
racked up 14 points off of four 3-pointers and added two assists. Smith was
helped by Toiya Gwynn who was all
over the court with eight points, four assists, and four rebounds.
“This team has really grown,” Odom
said. “We didn’t have as much success
last year at this point in the season, so
we’re hoping we’re just building from
what we finished at last year. We have a
lot more wins than we did last year, and
the girls are having fun. Of course it’s
fun to win. They’re tired but they’re
looking forward to next week.”
The boys contest had a similar situation
as the Cavs’ first half performance gave
them the early lead that they maintained
the rest of the game.
The first quarter was close with the Pioneers scoring first and leading a large
portion of the period, but the Cavs edged
out the Pioneers 16-13.
However, most hope for a close game
was ended in the second quarter as the
Cavs held the Pioneers to only four
points, while two 3-pointers from Noah
Hilliker and one from Jacob Wilberscheid helped the Cavs to score 19 in the
period and build a large 18-point lead
going into the half at 35-17.
The second half was full of free throws
for the Cavs as they tried to run down
the clock and fouling was the only way
the Pioneers could get the ball. The Cavs
shot 76 percent from the charity stripe
on the night making 20 of their 26 free
throws and 19 of 25 in the second half
alone.
Cookeville’s lead was never in question, and the Cavs outscored the Pioneers 30-25 in the second half for a
larger lead and the win.
There were two main areas that the
Cavs outperformed the Pioneers in for
the advantage in the game.
Ben Craven | Herald-Citizen
Cookeville’s Jacob Reeves goes up for a shot during the Cavaliers’ 6542 victory over Warren County on Friday at CHS.
The Cavs shot 49 percent overall with
56 percent from inside the arc and 36
percent from behind it, while the Pioneers only shot 31 percent overall with
32 percent inside the arc and 27 percent
behind it. The Cavs also severely outrebounded the Pioneers as the Cavs pulled
down 37 rebounds to the Pioneers 24,
and 25 of Cookeville’s rebounds were
on the defensive end.
Hilliker led the Cavs with 18 points
on three 3-pointers, a layup, and
seven-of-eight free throw shooting.
Hilliker was helped by Ayden Gist,
who scored 13 points with two blocks,
and Bryric Savage with 10 points and
a team-high 10 rebounds for a doubledouble.
“We had good balance,” commented
CHS head coach Kevin Bray. “We had a
lot of people scoring, which made the
scoring spread good. We shot better
tonight, which is a good thing. It was
good to get a win especially after last
night (loss to York 55-54). You have to
love being 3-0, but we still have a long
way to go. We’ve just got to take it one
game at a time.”
Up next, Cookeville will travel to
neighboring Jackson County for a

second quarter was enough
Goodell: Oakland, San Diego,
St. Louis stadiums inadequate
By BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
Roger Goodell says the existing stadiums in St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland
are “inadequate and unsatisfactory,” and
the proposals the Rams, Chargers and
Raiders received to remain in their current cities lacked certainty.
A person who has seen the report told
The Associated Press on Saturday night
that the NFL commissioner sent 48 pages
to team owners and cited a lack of
longer-term solutions in plans to build
new facilities. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league
has not released details of the report.
The Los Angeles Times first reported
Goodell’s comments.
A special owners meeting is scheduled
next week for Houston, and relocation by
one or two of those teams to Los Angeles
will be discussed — and quite possibly
voted on. All three franchises applied for
relocation last week, and at least 24
teams must vote for a franchise to move.
Goodell did not draw any conclusions
on which teams should move, nor did he
recommend either of two stadium sites
being proposed. The Rams are planning
a stadium in Inglewood on the site of the
old Hollywood Park racetrack. The
Chargers and Raiders jointly are proposing a stadium in Carson.
The report is a requirement of the NFL’s
relocation procedures. No franchise has
moved since the Houston Oilers went to
Tennessee in 1997. The Raiders and
Rams both left Los Angeles after the
1994 season.
Goodell also pointed out that city leaders in St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland
agree that the existing stadiums don’t
work. He told the owners that further
government approval for new stadiums,
contingencies, and financial concerns
plague the proposals
Adding that the Rams, Chargers and
Raiders would not be breaking any leases
by moving, Goodell also noted that the
L.A.-area sites appear to be ready for development; that they are suitable to host

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Chiefs win first playoff game since 1994
By KRISTIE RIEKEN
AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON (AP) — After 22 years without a
playoff victory, the Kansas City Chiefs were determined not to give up the lead this time.
The Chiefs had enough points to win after jumping ahead 7-0 in the first 11 seconds, and they used
relentless pressure, five turnovers and a ball-control offense to dominate the Houston Texans 30-0
in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday.
They were especially cognizant of not letting up
after blowing a 28-point lead in a loss to the Colts
in their last playoff appearance in 2013.
“What happened to us a couple years ago, everybody remembers that even the coaches included, so
our entire mentality is about finishing,” quarterback Alex Smith said. “The mentality doesn’t
change.”
They finished off the Texans early, and they had
the hometown fans booing by the second quarter.
Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer had the worst
game of his career with four interceptions and a
fumble. Houston’s defense kept the Texans close
in the first half, but J.J. Watt left with an injury in
the third quarter, Jadeveon Clowney never even put
on his jersey and the Chiefs were able to close the
game out in the second half.
The Chiefs extended their NFL-best winning
streak to 11 games and will face Denver or New
England next week.
“We wanted to come in and dominate,” Chiefs
safety Eric Berry said. “Right now we are locked
in and ready for next week.
On the opening kickoff, Knile Davis got three
good blocks around the 10-yard line and then simply outran the rest of the defenders for the 106-yard
kickoff return score, the second-longest kickoff return TD in postseason history.
“It was a huge deal, man. It set the tempo,” Davis
said. “It quieted everybody, kind of made everybody relax.”
The defense took over after that, forcing Hoyer
into a fumble and a three of his career-high four interceptions before halftime to help the Chiefs (125) take a 13-0 lead.
“I made some bad decisions that really hurt the
team,” Hoyer said.
Houston coach Bill O’Brien said he never consid-

ered benching Hoyer, but backup Brandon Weeden
told a different story, saying he was warming up
late in the game.
“We had talked about me going in there with
Brian,” Weeden said. “Brian wanted to finish the
thing out. I don’t blame him.”
Smith threw a touchdown pass late in the third
and Spencer Ware added a 5-yard TD run on the
first play of the fourth quarter to make it 27-0.
No warm welcome for Seahawks
By DAVE CAMPBELL
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Six
weeks ago, the Seattle Seahawks
left Minnesota with a laugher
38-7 victory over the Vikings.
Well, the Seahawks have returned for a rematch, and the
Vikings won’t be extending a
warm welcome.
The temperature at kickoff is
expected to be around zero degrees.
“You’ve got to make it work.
Just use it to your advantage.
Nobody likes being cold, but
you’ve got to be comfortable
being uncomfortable,” Vikings
wide receiver Stefon Diggs said.
Yes, the Seahawks have begun
their quest for a third straight
Super Bowl appearance with the
opportunity to avenge last year’s
crushing loss to New England.
Sure, the Vikings have secured
their first home game in the
playoffs in six years. This wildcard round game is most likely
to be remembered, though, for
the thermometer.
“This is nothing. This is what we
do. This is why we’re in Minnesota in the first place,” Vikings
defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd
said.
Here are some key angles to
know about the game:
RUSSELL’S ROLL
Seahawks quarterback Russell
Wilson finished the regular season on a historic high, with 24
touchdown passes and only one
interception over the final seven
games. He became the franchise
record-holder for single-season
touchdown passes (34) and the
first 4,000-yard passer in Seahawks history, and led the NFL
in passer rating for the season at
110.1.
The scary part for the Vikings
is that Wilson in the past was
only getting warmed up once he
started the playoffs. In eight career postseason games, Wilson
is 6-2 with 12 touchdowns and
six interceptions (four came in
the NFC championship game
against Green Bay last year) and
a 97.2 passer rating.
His last postseason pass, of
course, was the one he’d love to
have back, picked off at the goal
line by Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler at the end of the
Super Bowl.
IT’S NOT PERMANENT
The Vikings went 11-5 over two
seasons at TCF Bank Stadium,
the best winning percentage ever
by an NFL team in a temporary
stadium. Unless they advance to
Travis Kelce, who also had more than 100 yards
receiving in the first meeting with the Texans this
year, had another big day, finishing with eight receptions for 128 yards.
The victory breaks a streak of eight straight playoff losses by the Chiefs and is their first postseason
win since beating the Oilers in Houston on Jan. 16,
1994. That team was led by Joe Montana and Marcus Allen.
“Was it 1994? I didn’t feel it, but I know how important it is, too,” coach Andy Reid said. “You get
to the playoffs, and first round, if things don’t go
well, that rips your heart out.”
Hoyer was 15 of 34 for 136 yards as Houston (98) lost a home playoff game for the first time.
Hoyer’s performance cast more doubt on his future
as the starter.
Watt missed most of the second half after injuring
his groin in the third quarter. Last year’s Defensive
Player of the Year and the NFL sack leader didn’t
have a sack as Houston’s defense played well but
couldn’t hold off an offense that got so many extra
chances because of turnovers.
Watt returned a few plays after he was initially hurt,
but soon left the game again when he was pushed to
the ground by the head by tackle Eric Fisher.
“That’s just a dirty play,” Watt said. “But the injury was before that moment.”
Fisher said he didn’t know the play was over.
Kansas City receiver Jeremy Maclin strained his
right knee on the same play and didn’t return.
The Chiefs capped that drive when Smith found
rookie Chris Conley in the back of the end zone for
9-yard touchdown that extended the lead to 20-0.
Houston defensive end Jared Crick got a personal
foul late in the third quarter when he hit Fisher after
a play, in an apparent retaliation for the Watt hit.
Down 7-0, the Texans were driving when Hoyer
was sacked by Allen Bailey and fumbled. Dontari
Poe recovered it at the Kansas City 42 and the
Chiefs extended their lead to 10-0 on a 49-yard
field goal.
Trailing 13-0, a 49-yard run by Alfred Blue got
Houston to the Kansas City 13. The Texans got a
first down at the 2 and Watt and defensive tackle
Vince Wilfork came in on offense, with Watt lined
up as the wildcat quarterback and Wilfork blocking. Watt took the direct snap but had nowhere to
go and lost a yard on his first career carry. Hoyer
was intercepted on the next play by Josh Mauga.
Hoyer had also struggled against the Chiefs in the
season opener, being benched in the fourth quarter
of a 27-20 loss.

game on campus.
“Not to parrot the coach, but
like he’s always said, if you have
the right coach and the right
players working the right way,
you’re going to be effective no
matter where you are,” Vikings
President Mark Wilf said.
The Seahawks would endorse
the same mantra. They’ll be
without their vaunted homefield advantage in these playoffs, but they won five of their
last six road games this season.
“To be honest I think we’re a
better road team than a home
team this year,” linebacker
Bruce Irvin said. “It is funny,
this road thing kind of played in
our favor. We’ve got to take care
of our business. It won’t be
easy.”
SO MUCH FOR BEAST
MODE
The Seahawks have not had
running back Marshawn Lynch
on the field since Nov. 15
against Arizona, when he attempted to play through an abdominal injury. Lynch had eight
carries for 42 yards and a touchdown in that game, sat out the
following week against San
Francisco, and underwent surgery Nov. 25.
Lynch fully participated in
each practice this week, putting
him on track to return, but late
Friday the Seahawks ruled him
out after announcing he didn’t
travel to Minnesota. That will
keep Christine Michael and
Bryce Brown in the mix for carries with rookie Thomas Rawls
lost for the season with a broken
ankle.
The Seahawks, who also lost
tight end Jimmy Graham for the
season with a knee injury, will
be without backup Luke Willson
as well because of a concussion.
Safety Kam Chancellor, however, will be back from a threegame absence (pelvis/tailbone),
and two offensive linemen, left
tackle Russell Okung (two
games, calf) and right guard J.R.
Sweezy (one game, concussion),
will also return.
LAST TIME
Minnesota was missing its
three best players on defense for
most of the last game against the
Seahawks, with nose tackle Linval Joseph, linebacker Anthony
Barr and safety Harrison Smith
all back this week. But the
Vikings were so bad that day
their presence might not have
mattered.
“I don’t think it was an aberration at all. I think they got after
us. We didn’t do much in any
phase of the game,” coach Mike
Zimmer said. “That has no bearing about what happened a
month ago, what’s going to happen on Sunday. We’re going to
go out there and take everybody’s shot and see what happens.”
ON THE RUN
Considering the cold and the
fact that Adrian Peterson had a
mere eight carries for Minnesota
in the last meeting, prompting
some mild criticism of the
coaching staff by the league’s
rushing leader, the Seahawks are
counting on a heavy dose of the
All-Pro. Their statistics and their
swagger say bring it on.
The Seahawks had the best defense against the run in the NFL,
holding three of their final five
opponents to 31 yards rushing or
fewer: Minnesota, Baltimore
and Arizona. Only one of Seattle’s final seven opponents, St.
Louis on Dec. 27, even tried to
run more than 20 times.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) —
Aaron Rodgers has been a Super
Bowl champion and a two-time
NFL MVP. He owns the best
passer rating in league history. His
Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs for the seventh consecutive
season.
Kirk Cousins started a grand total
of nine regular-season games entering this season, wasn’t chosen
as Washington’s QB until a couple
of weeks before the opener, and
his only postseason experience to
date consists of 10 passes as a
backup in a loss three years ago.
Look at each of them now,
though.
Heading into Sunday’s playoff
matchup between the wild-card
Packers (10-6) and NFC East
champion
Redskins
(9-7),
Rodgers struggled through a poorby-his-lofty-standards season, certainly hurt by the absence of top
receiver Jordy Nelson, and his
team won only four of its last 10
games. Cousins, meanwhile,
soared, breaking team passing
records and setting a league mark
for completion percentage at home
while leading Washington to four
victories in a row down the stretch.
Fans attending the game will be
given white towels with burgundy
lettering that pay tribute to Cousins’
catch phrase: “You like that?!”
And get this, given their comparative careers to date: An actual
topic of debate in the D.C. area
this week was which of the two
QBs would be the player you’d
want for the next five years.
As for the Redskins players
themselves, they express nothing
but confidence in Cousins, who replaced Robert Griffin III as the
starter late in the preseason, but
they’re not exactly disparaging
Rodgers in any way.
“He’s still got 31 touchdowns —
how can you say he’s not really
having a good year? He’s still got
the intangibles of an elite QB,”
Washington cornerback Bashaud
Breeland said. “Sometimes his
supporting cast is not there to bail
him out, but I feel like he’s one of
those guys you’ve got to be on
your toes with, every play.”
Here are other things to know
about Sunday’s game:
PESKY PEPPERS
Julius Peppers is still going
strong in his 14th year in the
league. His 10 1/2 sacks led the

Packers and was his highest total
since getting 11 1/2 in 2012. Peppers and fellow OLB Clay
Matthews give the Packers a pair
of dangerous veteran pass rushers,
and their solid play has been key
to a generally effective defense.
ALONG THE LINE
A young Redskins offensive line
— RG Brandon Scherff, RT Morgan Moses and LG Spencer Long
became starters this season — allowed only 27 sacks. C Kory
Lichtensteiger returns after missing half the season on IR. “It’s like
he never left. ... Should be like riding a bike,” Pro Bowl LT Trent
Williams said. “There’s hardly any
looks that we’re going to come
across that he hasn’t seen and
doesn’t know how to diagnose.”
GROUND GAME
Heading into the season, the
Redskins vowed to be a run-first
team, and Alfred Morris and Matt
Jones topped 100 yards rushing
once each in Weeks 1 and 2. And
then it all fell apart. Morris did not
reach the 100-yard mark in a game
again until Week 17. “We’ve never
lost faith in Alfred,” coach Jay
Gruden said. “We haven’t killed
him throughout the season (by)
giving him 25-30 carries a game.
He’s fresh, and this is the perfect
time to start to utilize him.”
‘BACKERS
OLB Ryan Kerrigan, who led
Washington with 9 1/2 sacks, is a
known quantity. But during its 40 finish, the team benefited from
strong play by three other guys at
linebacker — Will Compton and
Mason Foster, neither of whom
was a starter at ILB when the season began, and rookie OLB Preston Smith. Compton had his first
career sack and first career interception in Weeks 16 and 17. Smith
picked up five sacks over the final
three games. They’ll go up against
a Packers offensive line that allowed Rodgers to be sacked 46
times.
THIRD DOWNERS
Among plenty of problems for
Green Bay’s offense has been an
inability to convert on third
downs. Green Bay was 28th in the
league in third-down conversions
at 33 percent, partly a reflection of
an inconsistent running game. The
Packers were just 2 of 15 on third
downs in the loss to Minnesota in
Week 17.
While Washington’s defense
ranked 28th in yards allowed, it
was 12th in opponents’ third-down
conversions at 37 percent.
“We need to be more disciplined
and execute,” Packers offensive
coordinator Edgar Bennett said.

Jacksonville State’s title shot ends
with 37-10 loss to North Dakota State
By STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP Sports Writer
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The state of
Alabama still has one more chance for
a Division I national championship this
season.
Jacksonville State’s bid for its first
FCS title ended Saturday when the topseeded Gamecocks were held to a season-low 204 total yards in a 37-10 loss
to North Dakota State, which won an
unprecedented fifth consecutive championship.
“It was not our best day, of course,”
said John Grass, who wrapped up his
second season coaching his alma mater.
“We were just kind of out of sync, out
of rhythm offensively in the first half
for whatever reason.”
The Gamecocks (13-2) had won 12
games in a row since an overtime loss
Sept. 12 at Auburn, one of the two SEC
teams from their home state. The other,
No. 2 Alabama, plays No. 1 Clemson on
Monday night in the College Football
Playoff championship game.
Carson Wentz, a potential first-round
pick in the NFL draft, hadn’t played for
the Bison (13-2) since breaking his right
wrist in a loss to South Dakota on Oct.
17. But five days after a CT scan
showed his wrist was completely
healed, Wentz ran for two touchdowns
and was 16-of-29 passing for 197 yards
with a touchdown and two interceptions.
“I’ll still say I was glad he got to play
the game, his last college game. He’s
definitely a top-five quarterback going
into the draft,” Grass said. “He played
phenomenal. ... He was right in sync
and played well. He’s every bit as good
as advertised.”

Jacksonville State running back Troymaine Pope (24) carries the ball as North Dakota State safety Robbie
Grimsley (35) tries to make the tackle during the first half of the Football Championship Subdivision championship game on Saturday in Frisco, Texas.
Eli Jenkins, JSU’s dual-threat quarterback, finished 7-of-20 passing for 57
yards with two interceptions. He ran 15
times for 88 yards and JSU’s only
touchdown.
There were seven turnovers in the
game, including three consecutive plays
early in the fourth quarter that ended
any chance of a Jacksonville State rally.
Jenkins had two of them.
Jenkins first fumbled at the end of a
run at the JSU 23.
Easton Stick, a redshirt freshman who
had won all eight games starting in
place of Wentz, then threw an interception on his first play in the game — his
pass was picked off by Rashod Byers
near the goal line. But Jacksonville
State gave it right back when Jenkins’
pass was intercepted by Jordan Champion, leading to a 1-yard TD keeper by
Wentz for a 34-10 lead.
“We just got behind. Turnovers were
crucial. ... Just playing from behind,”
Jenkins said. “They made great plays.
Some plays I was amazed.”
North Dakota State won its 20th consecutive playoff game, including all five
times making the trip from Fargo to
Frisco for the title game at a professional soccer stadium. Fans clad in
green and gold made up a majority of
the stadium-record crowd of 21,836 —
and stormed the field to celebrate once
again.
The 204 yards by the Gamecocks were
325 below their average that was second-best among FCS teams going into
the game. It was 181 under the previous
season worst.
Cam Pedersen had field goals of 29, 31
and 38 yards for North Dakota State
after making only one of seven attempts
the first three playoff games.
The Bison led throughout after Pedersen’s 29-yard kick ended a game-opening 15-play drive. The lead grew to 17-0
early in the second quarter after Wentz
threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight
end Andrew Bonnet and then ran for an
11-yard score 86 seconds later.
After Bonnet’s catch, Jenkins threw an
interception on the next play. That set
up a four-play drive that ended when
Wentz faked a handoff, rolled left,
shook off a defender and got to the sideline before planting his foot near the 3
and diving into the end zone.
“I felt good. I felt good for the last
couple weeks now. That kind of showed
a little today,” said Wentz, a two-time
champion after Brock Jensen won three
in a row for the Bison. “The rust people
might have wanted to talk about it, that
didn’t show.”
For Clemson’s
Bama’s Coker finally gets to
play central role for contender Swinney, roots run
deep in Alabama
By JOHN ZENOR
By RALPH D. RUSSO
AP Sports Writer
AP College Football Writer
PHOENIX (AP) — Jake Coker watched
his last national championship game from
the sidelines on crutches, and wouldn’t have
played anyway.
Then the quarterback transferred from
Florida State to Alabama and found himself
effectively a spectator for another contender. Another lost position battle, with the
clock ticking on his college career.
That’s Coker’s backstory, an improbable
journey to the brink of college football’s
pinnacle: The national championship.
This time he’s QB 1 and a team captain
heading into Monday night’s title game
against Clemson and Heisman finalist Deshaun Watson.
“I think it’s made me appreciate this year
way more than most guys appreciate it,”
Coker said Saturday. It’s something he grew
up dreaming of in his backyard in Mobile,
Alabama, leading his boyhood team to a national title.
Even for a one-year starter, that would
mean a sacred spot in Alabama lore.
The Tide arrived at this point in no small
part because of Coker’s season-long evolution as a quarterback. He’s gone from a bit
of a gunslinger throwing too many interceptions to more of the Alabama QB prototype
with a pristine, playmaking turn in the
semifinal rout of Michigan State.
Switch his jersey number from 14 to 10,
and it could easily have been fellow St.
Paul’s Episcopal School product AJ McCarron, who led the Tide to national championships in 2011 and 2012.
When Michigan State loaded up to stop
Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Derrick
Henry, Coker delivered his best game. He
went a Winston- and McCarron-like 25-of30 passing for a career-high 286 yards and
two touchdowns. Afterward, Henry gave
the ultimate compliment on Twitter to a
player who’s been ostensibly the guy behind the guy to two Heisman winners:
“#JakeCoker4Heisman!”
Coker had lost out to Winston — the eventual No. 1 NFL draft pick — at Florida
State. Hardly a knock on his own abilities.
He was still recovering from a knee injury
when Florida State beat Auburn in the 2013
championship game.
Ask him about that experience now, and
Coker mentions the similarities between
those Seminoles and the current Tide team.
He mostly skirts any frustrations or concerns
about his career he might have been feeling,
quickly turning the personal back to the collective. But there’s no question he’s happy
with where his college days are ending.
“Five years ago, I never thought I’d be in
the position I’m in now,” Coker said. “It’s
pretty special, and looking at it now there’s
no place I’d rather end up. I think it made
me a lot better, a lot stronger, the things I’ve
been through.
“It makes things a little easier. Things that

used to be a big deal aren’t as big. I’m just
having the time of my life right now playing
for Alabama.”
That part didn’t come easy, either. He lost
another position battle to quarterbackturned-running back-turned quarterback
Blake Sims, who wound up setting the
Tide’s single-season passing record but was
mostly unknown at the time.
That left Coker with one more chance.
This time he came out on top.
Coker forced the ball at times early in the
season, throwing six interceptions in his first
six games and even getting replaced as the
starter in the loss to Mississippi. He’s only
thrown two picks in the last seven games.
“I might have put a little bit too much
pressure on myself because it was my last
year,” said Coker, who’s completing 73 percent of his passes over the past 10 games.
“If it didn’t happen, it wasn’t going to happen. I was putting a lot of pressure on myself. I just wanted to get the job done so
bad. Thank goodness it’s turned out the way
it has.”
Along the way, Coker became respected
enough that his teammates voted him one
of the permanent captains, along with
Henry, center Ryan Kelly and linebacker
Reggie Ragland.
“He had to earn the trust of other people,
earn their respect,” Kelly said. “He never
pushed for it. That’s just the kind of guy he
was. It just kind of happened because of the
moral character that he brings every day. As
much success as he’s had on the field, he’s
also grown so much off the field with the
leadership. Everybody trusts him.”
David Morris, Coker’s private quarterback
coach since high school, doesn’t think his
pupil has even approached his talent ceiling
yet, not with just one season as a starter.
Coker’s already dealt with the hard part:
The waiting.
“I think when you look back on those moments — I mean, it hurt, it wasn’t easy —
but you see a lot of patience, you see a great
teammate and you see class,” Morris said.
“But you also see something brewing inside
of him that’s very unique and very authentic. And you kind of see that fire every
week, in my opinion.”
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (AP)
— Before coming to Clemson 13
years ago, all Dabo Swinney ever
knew was Alabama.
The Tigers coach grew up in near
Birmingham, and like so many
boys his age, dreamed of playing
football for the University of Alabama and coach Bear Bryant. He
fulfilled part of that dream.
Swinney graduated from Alabama, married a girl he met in first
grade, and worked as a Crimson
Tide assistant coach in Tuscaloosa.
When he was away from coaching, he worked in commercial real
estate for a former Crimson Tide
football star. One of the shopping
centers Swinney helped create
during his other life is still thriving
in Hoover.
Now Swinney stands at the pinnacle of his career, facing his past.
The top-ranked Tigers (14-0) face
No. 2 Alabama (13-1) on Monday
night in the College Football Playoff, seeking a national title.
“I think God has got a sense of
humor,” Swinney said. “I really
do. I think it’s great.”
Swinney’s love of Alabama football came from his father, Ervil
Swinney. William Christopher became Dabo when he was just a
baby and his older brother called
him “that boy,” and it sounded like
Dabo.
Swinney grew up watching the
Tide dominate on Saturdays and
Coach Bryant talk about the previous day’s game on his Sunday
television show. Bryant retired
after the 1982 season and died
only a few months later. Swinney
cried that day.
His high school years were hard.
His father became violent when he
drank and his parents split when
he was in high school. Swinney
eventually reconciled with Ervil,
who died last year at 70 after a
lengthy illness.
Just finding a place to live was
tough for Carol Swinney, now
McIntosh, and her sons. When
Dabo Swinney was at Alabama,
his mom moved in with him and
his roommate. Dabo and his
mom shared a bedroom and a
bed.
“It was a special time,” Swinney
said. “A little small. But we lived
in apartment 81. That was my high
school number, and I lived in
apartment 81, lived there for five
years, and my mom lived there
with me for three years, my redshirt sophomore, junior, senior
year.”
In his first year as a graduate assistant coach, “we got fancy,” he
said. “We rented a little house over
toward City in Coventry was what
it was called. We rented a little
house, and we each had our own
room. That was big-time.”
Both apartment 81 and that place
on Coventry were destroyed by
the tornado that devastated
Tuscaloosa in 2011, and the
thought of losing a bit of his past
still seems to sadden Swinney.
Swinney was a scrawny wide receiver at Pelham High School.
When he went to the University of
Alabama it was not with a football
scholarship. He sat in the stands at
Bryant-Denney Stadium as a
freshman and watched games with
that girl he met in first grade,
Kathleen Bassett. Swinney saw receivers dropping passes and
thought he could do better. So he
went out for the team and made it
as a walk-on. Bill Curry was the
coach at the time, but when he left
Gene Stallings took over in 1990.
Stalling had played for and
coached under Bryant.
“We felt like we get the next best
thing in coach Stallings,” former
Crimson Tide quarterback Jay
Barker, who was a couple years
behind Swinney at Alabama.
Swinney was never a great
player. He caught seven passes in
his career at Alabama and played
on special teams.
“He tried real hard and he needed
a scholarship and I gave him one,”
Stallings said.
Swinney’s final game for the
Crimson Tide was the 1993 Sugar
Bowl against Miami. The Tide
upset the Hurricanes to win its first
national title since Bryant had
stepped down. It was also the last
one until Nick Saban showed up
in Tuscaloosa in 2007.
When Swinney was done playing, he became a graduate assistant
under Stallings and eventually
Stallings gave him his first fulltime job in coaching.
“I’m going to pay you $38,000
and that’s more than you’re worth
but I know you’ll do me a good
job,” Swinney said, doing a spot
on impression of Stallings’ low,
gravelly voice.
Swinney stayed at Alabama even
after Stallings was gone, but when
coach Mike Dubose was fired
after the 2000 season, Swinney
was let go, too.
