ALGOOD — Algood officers
who responded to a report of
two suspicious males at Walmart Thursday found one of the
men to be a Louisiana fugitive.
Algood Police Sgt. Johnny
Cyrus and Officer Roy Phipps
were dispatched to Walmart
Thursday in reference to two
suspicious male subjects in the
store who had a history of
shoplifting.
“One subject was described as
a white male with a black
sweatshirt on and other black
clothing,” Sgt. Cyrus’ report
said.
“The other male was described as a white male with a
brown coat on and a blue hat.”
When he arrived, he made
contact with the male subject in
the black outfit, identified as
Michael Martone, 30, of Rocky
Point Road, Cookeville.
“I spoke with Martone and
noticed he was sweating inside
the store,” Sgt. Cyrus noted.
“His skin was a pale color and
he appeared to be under the influence of a narcotic analgesic
or some type of opiate. His
pupils were constricted.”
As Cyrus was speaking with
him, he noticed Martone kept
putting his hands in his front
sweatshirt pocket.
“I asked him what he was
holding onto inside his shirt
pocket,” Cyrus said in his report.
“He pulled out a syringe cap
and a set of tweezers from the
store.”

Hall named state goodwill ambassador
By AMY DAVIS
MONTEREY — Monterey’s Ken Hall
has seen his share of disasters. It’s something he’s ready for in a moment’s notice.
As leader of the Monterey Lions Club
Disaster Response team, he’s ventured
across the state and beyond, offering help
and hope to folks in their darkest hours of
need, be it the aftermath of a tornado, fire,
flood — whatever the disaster may be.
And for that reason, Hall has been commissioned by Gov. Bill Haslam as a Tennessee Ambassador of Goodwill.
“Ken Hall has been a goodwill ambassador to the state of Tennessee and to this
area for many, many years,” noted State
Sheriff to launch new call-out system next week
By TRACEY HACKETT
PUTNAM COUNTY — A
new emergency notification system that goes into effect next
week will help the Putnam
County Sheriff’s Department
contact deputies on pre-specified contact lists.
The system is called HyperReach, and it will use both text
and voice messages to reach lists
of deputies, on or off duty, in the
event of active shooter, officer
down, SWAT call-outs, be on
the lookout calls for missing
persons or stolen vehicles and
other critical incidents.
“In a high-demand law enforcement environment, the
faster you deploy your resources
in a critical situation, the more
successful your outcome,” said
Sheriff Eddie Farris, who added
that the means for immediately
communicating emergency situations to both on- and off-duty
deputies is necessary.
The technology will be used
(931)528-0474
initially for sending emergency
notifications to contact lists consisting of deputies, SWAT team
members and other staff who
need to respond to law enforcement situations, but authorities
say the department may expand
its future use to include contacting its volunteer corps members
and other non-law enforcement
personnel on an as-needed basis.
“Law enforcement has always
relied on the use of technology
to help us keep the public and
our deputies safe. It just makes
sense for us to now employ the
new web-based platforms that
are so affordable and easy to use
and update,” Sheriff Farris said.
“One of the lessons learned
from last year’s police officer
shooting, ice storm, and tornadoes was that we had a need for
an additional layer of communication that enables us to reach

CRMC forwards private act amendment to council
By LAURA MILITANA
COOKEVILLE — The Cookeville Regional Medical Center board of trustees
unanimously forwarded an amendment to
the hospital’s private act to the Cookeville
City Council that was eventually torpedoed nearly a year ago by a neighboring
state representative when it was presented
to the legislature for approval during the
board’s first meeting of 2016.
The amendment, in the form of a resolution, requests the deletion of the requirement that joint ownership arrangements of
Cookeville Regional Medical Center Authority within Putnam and Clay County
must be on city-owned property and
wishes to request that all joint ownership
arrangements must be approved by the
Cookeville City Council.
“We’ve spoken to Rep. Ryan Williams
and Senator Paul Bailey and Ricky (Shelton, Cookeville mayor) has spoken to Rep.
Cameron Sexton about this, and he’s
agreeable to it,” Paul Korth, CRMC CEO,
said as the item was presented for approval.
“We’re also going to talk to Rep. Kelly
Keisling, who represents Clay County,
about this as well.”
Current language restricts joint ownership arrangements to exist only on land
owned by the City of Cookeville, which
prevents CRMC from competing in the
marketplace. However, other health care
providers are not willing to be restricted
to joint ownership arrangements in which
the city owns the land and it may be financially advantageous to lease the property
rather than purchase it as part of a joint
ownership arrangements. The purpose of
the amendment is to allow CRMC to enter
into joint ownership arrangements within
Putnam and Clay counties, counties where
CRMC currently own and operate hospitals without requiring ownership of the
land.
Any joint ownership arrangement outside of Putnam or Clay County would still
be restricted to property owned by the
City of Cookeville.
Last April, Rep. Sexton brought up concerns about CRMC’s anti-trust immunities
and tax advantages, with him amending
the bill, which would allow for the joint
ventures to happen, but if CRMC goes
outside of its county, it must lose its antitrust immunity.
In other business, the board also approved the lone bid on three lots declared
surplus in 2014 that is located at 3rd and
Willow.
The bid is from Bernhardt LLC in the
amount of $170,000, contingent on the
following: submittal of a clean warranty
deed and no liens or encumbrances on the
property other than what is shown, rezoning tract four to CL and if the previous two
contingencies aren’t fulfilled, the earnest
money is to be returned to the buyer.
The three pieces of property are 15,769
square feet, 11,567 square feet and 77,319
square feet.
That matter is also forwarded to the city
council.
Items forwarded from the finance committee were also approved.
That includes the purchase of technology
for moderate sedation for use in the cath
lab in the amount of $45,441, replacement
of the roof at 128 N. Whitney property in
the amount of $61,320, replacement of
two cardiovascular surgical tables in the
amount of $87,727 with five year extended warranty of $30,500, bipolar generator for the surgery department in the
amount of $29,364, among other items.

Ken Hall being recognized by Gov. Bill Haslam as a Tennessee Ambassador of Goodwill are, in front, from left, disaster response team members Sara Sheffler, Hall, Katelyn Hicks, and, in back, Dan Sheffler, Dawn Kupferer, Jeff

lands.”
The Tennessee Ambassador of Goodwill
may be awarded to a Tennessee citizen or
Tennessee-based organization representing
the State of Tennessee in another U.S. state
or around the world.
“I am truly, truly honored,” said Hall,
who was surrounded by friends, town officials and fellow members of the Monterey Lions Club Disaster Response Team
during the presentation.
“My part in all of this is very small. I’ve
had so many others to go with me or sponsor and support (our disaster response efforts)... We’ve done a lot of good in the
nine years we’ve been in existence, and we
hope to continue to do good.”
Hall, who retired as Monterey’s cultural
administrator and depot curator in 2014,
said his eight-member team has been in-

idea of how we’re supposed to apply our
skills.”
It’s something Hall has a knack for.
“He’s a talker — he likes to talk to everybody,” Sheffler said.
“If we go someplace and our contacts
haven’t come through, if he has to, he will
start walking down the streets talking to
people, saying, ‘This is what we’re here
for — who needs our help?’”
In addition to Sheffler, Hall’s disaster response team includes Sara Sheffler, Katelyn Hicks, Dawn Kupferer, Jeff Hicks, Roy
Dishman and Eric Kirk.
“Monterey is honored and downright
boastful that we’re the headquarters for a
group of people who get out and demonstrate the best of humanity,” Monterey
Mayor Bill Wiggins said before handing
out certificates of appreciation to the full
team during Thursday’s ceremony for Hall
at the depot.
“We hereby express our sincere appreciation.”

when tracking and pursuing criminals. This
program allows us to do that,” he said.
The emergency notifications from the new
system will be issued by dispatchers but will
be approved by the sheriff and members of
his command staff.
The program provides dispatchers the ability to send messages to individuals, as well
as group alerts to the contact lists.
And, the sheriff said, it will give them the
ability to notify everyone in the system simultaneously, which may be necessary in
certain instances.
Trey Hassler, the department’s IT director,
said, “Sheriff Farris is committed to the use
of technology in making the department as
efficient and effective as possible.
“The logical solution for mass emergency
communication is by cellular telephone.
Cellular phone notification ensures that offduty officers are mobilized as a situation
deems necessary. The Hyper-Reach program is an immediate solution and is currently utilized by the Putnam County 911
Center. I see this as only a first step in the
use of mass notification technology making
Putnam County an even safer place to live,”
Hassler concluded.

volved in more than 30 disaster relief missions since it came together in 2008 in response to tornado damage in Macon
County.
Most recently, the team helped in the
search for 2-year-old Noah Chamberlin,
who went missing earlier this month in the
woods near his home in Pinson — a search
that ended tragically when the child was
found dead.
Before that, they aided victims of tornadoes, fire and flooding in Holly Springs,
Miss., Austin, Texas, and Sumter, S.C.
“We just watch the weather,” Hall said.
And when disaster strikes, he and the
team take off with their trailer full with
chainsaws and other tools.

Cyrus went on to ask him how
he was going to pay for the set
of tweezers, along with an
eaten Reese’s cup that was also
found in his possession, to
which Martone said his
“friends in the store were going
to pay for them.”
Cyrus went on to ask him if he
was on probation or parole, to
which he responded that he is
on parole for drug charges.
After getting consent to
search him, Cyrus found an
empty syringe cap that he was
holding in his right hand, but
did not locate anything illegal
on him and accompanied him
to the front of the store to return the items.
That’s when Cyrus saw Officer Phipps with the other detained man who was recently
told not to be in Walmart as he
was reportedly shoplifting from
the store a week ago.
While walking Martone to the
front, Cyrus asked him when
the last time he used was. Martone responded that he shot
oxycodone Wednesday.
They then went outside to talk
to the person he came to the
store with, who was in the
parking lot. He received consent to search the vehicle and
found a blue Nike bag in the
backseat. After asking who the
bag belonged to, Cyrus
searched the bag and located
items including receipts from
Louisiana in the month of January. Marone stated he was
from Louisiana while Officer
Phipps ran his information
through the database where it
was found that Martone was
wanted on a violation of parole.
Charges stem from possession
of oxycodone and dihydrocodeine.
During the search of the bag,
Cyrus also found parole paperwork and release paperwork inside a clipboard, a total of 17
used syringes inside a purple
container along with four
tourniquets that are commonly
used to tie around the area of
the body where drug users insert syringes.
There was also a nearly empty
bag of a crystal-like substances
inside the clipboard.
Martone was charged with
being a fugitive from justice
and unlawful possession of
drug paraphernalia.
He was scheduled to appear
in court today to begin extradition process.

Tennessee Supreme
Court weighs
appeal in Knoxville
slayings
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Supreme Court justices could use the case of the
ringleader of a 2007 double
slaying of a young Knoxville
couple to craft new law.
Media outlets report that the
justices heard arguments
Wednesday in Knoxville in
the appeal of Lemaricus
Davidson, who was sentenced to die for his role in
the carjacking, kidnapping,
beating, rape and killings of
21-year-old Channon Christian and her 23-year-old
boyfriend, Christopher Newsom.
The justices said they are interested in using a search
warrant foul-up to explore
the possibility of crafting
what is known as a “good
faith exception.”
Davidson’s defense team
says the trial court should not
have allowed evidence from
searches of Davidson’s house
because the search warrant
wasn’t signed in the correct
place. Investigators found
Christian’s body during the
search.
Federal courts have used
good faith exceptions to forgive mistakes such as clerical
errors, but no such exception
currently exists in Tennessee
courts.
Memphis man
pleads guilty to
killing former
girlfriend
MEMPHIS (AP) — Prosecutors say a Memphis man
who was on trial in the fatal
shooting of his former girlfriend has pleaded guilty to
second-degree murder.
The Shelby County district
attorney’s office said Thursday that 42-year-old Xavier
Becton was sentenced to 35
years in prison with no parole
under an agreement approved
by Criminal Court Judge
John Campbell.
Becton was on trial this
week for the Oct. 31, 2013,
shooting death of 35-year-old
Tierra Sims, who was found
on the sidewalk in front of
her home.
While investigators were on
the scene, Becton called a
sheriff’s dispatcher and said
Sims was shot while he and
the victim were struggling
over a gun. Becton surrendered to officers, who found
a loaded gun in his possession.
Haslam, lawmakers
see need to clear
pending records
requests
NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov.
Bill Haslam and two top Tennessee lawmakers say they
recognize the need to clear a
backlog of hundreds of open
records requests.
John Dunn, a spokesman for
Comptroller Justin Wilson,
said Wilson has requested
nearly $265,000 in the
budget to help with the growing number of requests for information.
Haslam, speaking to a group
of journalists Thursday,
wouldn’t say whether his upcoming budget will contain
new positions to help clear
the backlog.
A recent comptroller’s audit
documented 603 open or
pending cases where citizens
or governments had made requests to the Office of Open
Records Counsel, which
helps people obtain government records.
Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey said the number of pending cases is now closer to
about 1,000. Ramsey and
House Speaker Beth Harwell
said they would support extra
staff to clear the backlog.
Jerry (David Johnson) and Nina (Katie Mannle) share a tender moment

Durham taking leave
from Tennessee
House calls to resign
NASHVILLE (AP) — State Rep. Jeremy Durham is taking a leave of absence from the Tennessee General
Assembly amid calls for his resignation
and the Senate speaker’s allegation on
Thursday that he had an affair with another lawmaker.
House Speaker Beth Harwell also
asked the Tennessee attorney general to
launch an independent investigation of
Durham that could become part of an effort to vote the second-term Franklin Republican out of the House.
Durham earlier this week stepped
down as House majority whip and later
withdrew from the House GOP caucus
altogether amid several women’s allegations of inappropriate behavior by the
lawmaker, both in person and via text
messages.
Durham has denied any wrongdoing,
but has received permission from Harwell’s office to take up to two weeks of
leave from the Legislature to seek unspecified treatment.
Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, RBlountville, on Thursday added to the
growing furor surrounding Durham by
alleging that the married lawmaker had
an affair with Republican Rep. Leigh
Wilburn of Somerville, causing her to
resign last month.
Asked how he had drawn that conclusion about Durham and Wilburn, Ramsey said: “You don’t have to be real
smart to read between the lines.”
Wilburn resigned just one year into her
first term due to unspecified “unforeseen
circumstances.” She hasn’t spoken to reporters about her decision to step down,
and through a relative declined comment
on Ramsey’s claims.
A Durham spokesman said in an email
that the lawmaker “categorically denies
having any physical relationship” with
Wilburn.
Ramsey criticized Durham for trying to
blame news media coverage for the negative attention he has received.
“The press didn’t force somebody to
send text messages after midnight asking
for pictures. The press didn’t force
somebody to have an affair with another
state rep, and force them to resign,” he
said.
Calls for Durham’s ouster from the
General Assembly have been complicated because none of the women raising concerns about the lawmaker has
filed a formal complaint.
Harwell, who has called for an overhaul of the House guidelines on sexual
harassment, said Attorney General Herbert Slatery’s report could become part
of the record “if and when an expulsion
resolution comes before the House of
Representatives.”
She told reporters earlier in the day that
she hopes it doesn’t have to come to that.
“As I’ve said all along, I think it has
been in his best interest to resign,” she
said. Harwell has been joined by several
other prominent Republicans urging
Durham to consider resigning from the
Legislature, including Gov. Bill Haslam,
state GOP Chairman Ryan Haynes and
Ramsey.
“It’s not fair for what he’s doing to us
as legislators,” Ramsey said. “I think it
taints us in the public — they think that’s
the way they all are.”
The sexual-harassment allegations followed earlier revelations of Durham’s
questionable behavior. In 2014, Durham
wrote a character reference on behalf of
a youth pastor who pleaded guilty to
child porn possession and statutory rape
of a 16-year-old parishioner.
Earlier that year, prosecutors had
sought prescription fraud charges
against the lawmaker, but a grand jury
declined to indict Durham.
TAXES: Putnam property taxes due next month

owners, which is $320,089 more than what
was collected on this day last year.
Property tax notices were mailed to property owners in October last year, but both
Nelson and Putnam Property Assessor
Steve Pierce said that they have received
calls from people who have not received
them.
“We send them out as a courtesy,” Nelson
said. “We have a lot returned and some
calls saying they didn’t get their notice.”
Nelson said anyone who purchased property in 2015 is responsible for making sure
those taxes are paid, and property owners
can request a copy of the property tax notice by email at fnelson@putnamco.org or
by calling the trustee’s office at (931) 5268845.
Property owners can pay taxes at the
trustee’s office at 300 E. Spring St., on the
website
at
www.putnam.tennesseetrustee.org/ or by
mail.
The trustee’s office is open 8 a.m. to 4
p.m, Monday through Friday.
Nelson recommends people who pay at
the office park on the Broad Street side.
“That’s the best place to park,” Nelson
said. “When it’s busy, I reserve parking out
here. People can come in, and we’re the
first door on the left.”
The trustee’s office also has a drop box
for payments made after hours located to
the left of the courthouse entrance on
Broad Street.
If property taxes aren’t paid by Feb. 29,
they begin to accrue 1.5 percent interest
each month until paid.
Nelson said that property owners who
still haven’t paid 2014 taxes should pay
them by March 31, when they’ll be turned
over to the clerk and master, which will accrue additional fees.
Nelson also noted that it’s not too late for
the elderly, disabled and disabled veterans
to qualify for tax relief in 2015.
“They have until around the first of April
to get tax relief,” Nelson said. “If you’re
elderly or disabled, your income has to be
$28,690 or less.”
Nelson said a five-payment plan instituted by his office has helped property
owners with paying their taxes.
“If they started in October, and paid a
fifth of it, it’s going to help them a lot,” he
said. “That’s probably one of the biggest
compliments we’ve gotten. Coming up
with all of it or half of it at one time is difficult.” Putnam property taxes this year
are expected to generate $38,989,079, approximately 26 percent of the county’s
total budget.
Economy slowed to scant 0.7 pct. growth rate last quarter
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
U.S. economy’s growth slowed
sharply in the final three months
of 2015 to a 0.7 percent annual
rate. Consumers slowed spending, businesses cut back on investment and global problems
trimmed exports.
The slowdown could renew
doubts about the durability of the
6½-year-old economic expansion, though most economists expect growth to rebound in the
current January-March quarter.
The government’s estimate Friday of the economy’s expansion
in the October-December period
was less than half the modest 2
percent annual growth rate in
gross domestic product in the
previous quarter. It was the
weakest showing since a severe
winter slowed growth to a 0.6
percent annual rate in last year’s
first quarter.
Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics,
called the disappointing fourth
quarter performance a “temporary blip” and not likely “the start
of a more serious downturn.”
Ashworth said he thinks GDP
growth will rebound to an annual

percent in the first half of this
year as consumer spending picks
up in response to further solid
gains in job growth. For 2016 as
a whole, Ashworth is forecasting
economic growth of 2.5 percent.
Much of the weakness last quarter reflected a slowdown in con-
sumer spending, which grew at
an annual rate of 2.2 percent,
compared with a 3 percent rate in
the previous quarter. Spending on
both durable goods, such as cars,
and nondurable goods, such as
clothing, slowed.
Consumer spending accounts
for about two-thirds of economic
activity, and most analysts are
counting on continued strong
employment growth to fuel a rebound.
Some, however, worry that
China’s economic troubles and
sinking oil and stock prices could
continue to dampen the U.S. expansion.
Friday’s estimate of fourthquarter growth was the first of
three the government will issue.
Besides consumer spending, another source of weakness last
quarter was a drop in exports. It
reflected in part a stronger dollar,
which has made U.S. goods
pricier and therefore less competitive overseas. Persistent weakness in such key export markets
as China and Europe hurt, too. A
wider U.S. trade deficit cut annual growth last quarter by 0.5
percentage point.
Another drag came from cutbacks in business investment
spending, which fell at a 1.8 percent annual rate, with spending
on structures down 5 percent.
That reflected a 38 percent
plunge in spending in the oil and
gas industry, which has slashed
drilling and exploration in response to the plunge in oil prices.
In addition to their investment
pullback, businesses cut spending on stockpiles to try to pare
unwanted inventories.
That effort reduced growth by
0.5 percentage point in the fourth
quarter.
Mardi Gras season kicks into high gear with parades
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The ladders
where children will sit and catch beads are
out. The fences are up to protect lawns and
houses. The grandstands are assembled.
Mardi Gras season is kicking into high
gear in New Orleans with the first of the
city’s major parades rolling this weekend
down the city’s famed St. Charles Ave.
The Krewes of Oshun and Cleopatra —
an all-female group — were set to parade
down the avenue Friday evening, throwing beads to lucky onlookers. Parades for
the annual pre-Lenten celebration are
scheduled through the weekend across the
city, and in towns around the area. They
continue near-daily until Fat Tuesday on
Feb. 9.
Some local New Orleans residents have
already begun to put up ladders for children to sit and catch beads along the oak
tree-lined St. Charles Ave.
Businesses and residents have put up
fences to protect lawns and bushes in
some areas along the street in anticipation
of the huge crowds.
Mardi Gras is the city’s biggest tourist attraction, where hundreds of thousands of
people gather along the streets to watch
parades and floats that organizations
known as krewes have spent months planning and decorating.
The float riders — who are required to
wear masks — throw beads, trinkets designed with the krewe’s logo or other custom
“throws,”
some
of
them
hand-decorated by members of the krewe.

It’s the
negativity,
stupid
W
atching all the negativity flying around the
stage at the Democratic
Town Hall Forum the other night,
something struck me.
Why, after watching Hillary and
Bernie go after each other’s leftliberal throats, would anyone ever
want to vote for either one of
them?
They had nothing but rotten
things to say about the other.
Hillary’s too cozy with Wall
Street.
Bernie’s too
soft on the
NRA and
naive about
negotiating
with Iran.
Hillary’s insufficiently
progressive
and takes obscene speaking fees from
Goldman
Michael
Sachs.
Reagan
Bernie’s expensive progressive ideas will never make it
in the real world.
Etc. Etc.
The Democrat debate got so
dirty that Hillary has had to call
her pet attack dog David Brock
in from the kennel and let him
off his leash.
Brock is the nasty former rightwing hit man whose pro-Clinton
super PAC has sent out emails
equating Bernie Sanders with
dead Venezuelan dictator Hugo
Chavez.
His PAC has also attacked
Bernie for not including enough
“people of color” in his nice feelgood TV ad featuring Paul
Simon’s song “America.”
Somebody actually counted the
blacks and Latinos in the video
and declared that Bernie was insufficiently diversity-minded.
Now the dirty dogs in Brock’s
pack are running ads calling for
Sanders to release his medical
records.
The Republicans presidential
finger-pointers are just as negative, thanks mostly to attacker-inchief Donald Trump.
Actually, since there are more
attackers and attackees, and since
the attacks are constant and usually more personal, and since
Trump is mixed up in all of it, the
GOP negativity is much more
self-harmful.
It’s been hard to keep track of
who’s been hitting whom in the
Republican primary brawl, but
here are just some helpful headlines from the Internet:
- Trump: Ted Cruz flip-flopped
on birthright citizenship
- New Ted Cruz ad attacks Donald Trump’s ’New York Values’
- Bush: Rubio, Cruz are followers, not leaders on Syria
- Carson questions authenticity
of Trump’s faith
- Rubio hits Trump’s debate
‘theatrics’
- Trump hits Cruz on loans, citizenship: ‘Did he borrow unreported loans from Canadian
banks?’
- Trump, Rubio and evangelicals target Cruz as Iowa caucus
nears
- Kasich super PAC attacks
Trump immigration plan
- Carly Fiorina repeats after
girl: ‘Donald Trump’s a moron’
- Christie on Trump skipping
GOP debate: Leaders have ’got
to show up’
- Pro-Bush super PAC hammers
Rubio for credit card controversy
- Rand Paul: ‘Trump is a delusional narcissist and an orangefaced windbag’
Rand Paul must have hired a
new writer, probably a sophomore in high school. But what’s
going on is not funny.
We’re all being played for suckers.
After we hear months of this
nonstop Republican-on-Republican bashing, we’re supposed to
forget about it and vote for one
of these bums to be our next
president?
They don’t like each other, for
both good reasons and stupid reasons. But I bet half of the GOP
candidates won’t have the stomach to vote for the nominee in the
fall.
If you believe all their negative
ads and what the candidates say
about each other and their ideas,
it makes sense. There’s not a person worth voting for.

Clinton’s cracked credibility
T
he first question to Hillary Clinton from an audience member
during Monday night’s Democratic town hall in Iowa must have
been a blow from one so young — a
potential new voter — this close to the
caucuses.
The query came from a fellow who
asked what her response is to his
friends who say she’s dishonest. There
was no beating around any bushes, so
to speak, on that one. Flinching
slightly, Clinton rested her expression
somewhere between sadness and
weariness.
Ever the pro, she rallied: “I’ve been
around a long time — people have
thrown all kinds of things at me,” she
said. “They throw all this stuff at me,
and I’m still standing.”
Clinton offered a similar response
when asked about Benghazi: “I understand that they will try to make this an
issue — I will continue to answer, and
my defense is the truth.”
“They” presumably are Republicans
and others who for decades have
pointed out discrepancies between
Clinton’s version of the truth and reality as checked against facts. She has,
indeed, been around a long time, probably before her first questioner was
born.
In one of her political ads, Clinton is
shown repeatedly giving more or less
the same speech about helping children realize their full potential — beginning in her college days through
her various iterations to the present
day. Her efforts on behalf of women
and children are consistent, admirable
and irrefutable. Yet one can’t help
thinking upon seeing this ad, Boy,
she’s been around a long time.
If you’re 22 or younger, your parents
hadn’t brought you forth in time for
Bill Clinton’s first presidential inaugu-
ration. If you’re at
least 30ish, you
probably heard
grown-ups talking
on TV about sex
in the White
House while your
parents scrambled
for the remote.
And if you’re a
baby boomer, you
remember all of it
Kathleen
and, if you’re not
Parker
a member of the
Clinton club, your
memories are probably not fond.
Questions about Hillary Clinton’s
honesty are not recent to Benghazi or
to emails and a private server, but
began ages ago with any number of
fabricated — or at least exaggerated
— stories. Many may remember what
New York Times columnist William
Safire wrote about Clinton in 1996:
“Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization
that our first lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model
for many in her generation — is a congenital liar,” he said. “Drip by drip,
like Whitewater torture, the case is
being made that she is compelled to
mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.”
There “they” go again?
Safire’s concerns at the time —
Whitewater, travelgate, “lost” records
— may seem remote and trivial to
some, but the drip-drip he identified
didn’t stop with the White House
years. Subsequent to the various “gates” were, for example, the story of
coming under fire on a tarmac in
Bosnia, or about her having been
named for the explorer Edmund
Hillary, the first person to reach the
summit of Mount Everest, despite her
The biggest phony of them all
“
I’m for Trump,” the man across the
room from me said. We were in the
ICU family waiting room, and by that
point, given the reach of Boston TV to New
Hampshire voters, the television was showing nonstop ads.
The man across from me was a union guy.
I told him I worked for Teddy. Oh, he loved
Teddy. And then he worked for Kerry, of
course. The guy had clearly done more
phone banking than I ever had.
So, why Donald Trump? Because he’s sick
of politicians. Because Trump isn’t going to
win, but he has the establishment on the
run, and, frankly, Trump adds a rare note of
humor in a somber crowd.
I wonder what my friend is thinking today
and, more importantly, how his brother is
healing.
The first thing I learned sitting in a waiting
room for a few days is what really matters:
family; and friends who are like family. We
all sat together there — from the former
gangbanger who showed us his scars to a
middle-aged woman named Crystal, who
was waiting for her husband to wake up.
We are at Beth Israel Deaconess in
Boston, much less spiffy-looking than the
fancy-schmancy new clinic in Scottsdale
where a doctor perforated my insides and
nicked my spleen trying to get past the scar
tissue from the unnecessary surgery she had
performed earlier.
Thanks to that, I was
hospitalized five
times, the fifth requiring two and a half
hours in intensive care.
In Boston, they still

you on paper: not
nearly so fancy. But as
we kept reminding each other, we were in
the best place we could possibly be, surrounded by all the best in medicine, in a
culture where the patient has always come
first.
The second thing I learned, as if I could
ever forget, is that health is everything, that
all the money in the world means nothing if
you are watching someone you love hooked
up to monitors and tubes. When it comes to
what really matters, what divides us — age,
race, wealth — is meaningless compared to
what unites us.
Which brings me back to my friend from
the carpenters union, and the droning of the
television in the background. If you watch
enough political ads, after a while they all
sound annoyingly alike: an ugly picture of
the opponent; mud flying; some ugly headlines; noise.
Last week, the Donald seemed like a
breath of fresh air, a break from the tendency to answer every question in politicalspeak, a guy who was out to shake up the
system. I got it. When you hear those ads
hour after hour, the phoniness of the television messages stands in sharp and painful
contrast to the life-and-death situations
everyone in the room is facing.
This week, the Donald showed that he deserves even less respect than his opponents
and their phony ads. If Trump is the “real
thing,” then the real thing is a very small
man, afraid to face down his nemesis, that
terrifying threat to America’s security: the
drop-dead gorgeous Megyn Kelly.
Debates matter. They can be noisy and
contentious, but it’s the music of freedom
you’re hearing. If the Donald won’t play, if
he claims to be above the rituals that define
politics for a free people, then he is the answer to nothing and the biggest phony of
them all.

having been born about six years before his history-making climb.
These are such trivial stories to invent that one wonders why she bothered. The answer can’t be easily
divined except as Safire suggested. Or,
is it that she is reflexively prone to dissemble? Would this be a matter of
habit, or something else? An innate
need to inflate one’s status — even
when it isn’t needed?
Even though these stories have been
well-known at different times, they
eventually fade or are dismissed as politically motivated.
Politicians can reasonably bank on
voters’ ever-shrinking memories, especially in the 140-character era of Twitter and YouTube, when most people
would rather watch a leopard stalk and
devour a crocodile. Well, I mean, who
wouldn’t? It’s a pretty safe bet few
enough will care what happened in
1996.
But more recent issues of inaccuracies are both concerning and consequential. We now know with certainty
(thanks to an email from Clinton to
daughter Chelsea the night of the
Benghazi attacks) that the then-secretary of state knew it was a terrorist attack, contrary to official reports in the
days following about street riots that
escalated. We also know from the intelligence community inspector general that her private server contained
information ranked beyond top-secret,
contradicting her assertions to the contrary.
What difference at this point does
any of it make? When it comes to public trust in a presidential candidate —
everything.

Officials: Man who led escape had help from jail teacher
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — The probable mastermind in the brazen escape of three inmates from
a California jail had help from a woman whose
English classes he was taking while locked up, authorities allege.
Escapee Hussein Nayeri, 37, came to know
Nooshafarin Ravaghi, 44, during an English as a
second language course inside the Orange County
jail. Beyond that, there was “some type of relationship that developed between the two,” sheriff’s
spokesman Jeff Hallock said.
That relationship led to her helping him and the
others to break out of the jail nearly a week ago,
which led to her arrest on Thursday, Hallock said.
Nayeri’s past and sophistication among other factors led Sheriff Sandra Hutchens to tag him as
probably the mastermind of last Friday’s elaborate
escape. The prosecutor in the kidnapping and torture case against him was so alarmed by his escape
she described him in an interview with a reporter
as a Hannibal Lecter, the sadistic killer in “The Silence of the Lambs.”
Nayeri and two other inmates, 43-year-old Bac
Duong and 20-year-old Jonathan Tieu, sawed

had help, the sheriff said. Ravaghi, the teacher, denied providing the men those tools, but officials say
her assistance included providing them with
Google maps to plot an escape route, and they’re
investigating how deep her role went.

An FBI video shows Robert “LaVoy” Finicum before he was fatally shot by police Tuesday, near Burns, Ore.
FBI shows video of Tuesday
shooting of Oregon occupier
BURNS, Ore. (AP) — A video
showing the shooting death of an
occupier of an Oregon wildlife
refuge appears to show the man
reaching into his jacket before he
fell into the snow. The FBI said
the man had a loaded gun in his
pocket.
Authorities played the video
shot by the FBI at a Thursday
evening news conference, in an
apparent effort to counter claims
that the man killed in the confrontation Tuesday on a remote
Oregon high-country road —
Robert “LaVoy” Finicum — did
nothing to provoke officers.
The FBI’s release of the footage
came as four occupiers remaining at the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge refused to leave
without assurances they wouldn’t
be arrested. The group’s jailed
leader, Ammon Bundy, urged
them to surrender. The occupation began nearly a month ago.
During the confrontation in
which Finicum was killed, the
FBI and Oregon State Troopers
arrested five main figures in the
occupation, including Bundy.
Bundy and several of the other
occupiers have another federal
court hearing scheduled for Friday afternoon.
The video, shot by the FBI from
aircraft, shows Bundy’s vehicle
stopped by police on a road. He
and an occupier riding with him
— Brian Cavalier — were ar-
rested. A white truck driven by
Finicum was stopped but took
off, with officers in pursuit. The
video shows Finicum’s vehicle
plowing into a snowbank when
encountering a roadblock.
A man identified as Finicum
gets out of the truck. At first, he
has his hands up, but then he appears to reach into his pocket and
he falls into the snow.
“On at least two occasions,
Finicum appears to reach his
right hand toward a pocket on the
left inside portion of his jacket,”
said Greg Bretzing, special agent
in charge for the FBI in Portland.
“He did have a loaded 9mm
semi-automatic handgun in the
pocket,” he said.
Bretzing also said Finicum’s
truck nearly hit an FBI agent before it got stuck in the snow.
“Actions have consequences,”
Bretzing said. “The FBI and OSP
tried to effect these arrests peacefully.”
The FBI posted the video to its
YouTube channel.
With Finicum lying in the snow,
the video shows the arrest of two
other occupiers as they got out of
the stuck truck: Ryan Bundy,
who is Ammon’s brother, and
Shawna Cox. Bretzing said another woman was in the truck but
was not arrested. He did not identify her.
Bretzing said agents and troopers “provided medical assistance
to Finicum” after they were
“confident that they had addressed any further threats.” He
said that happened about 10 minutes after the shooting.
Two loaded .223 caliber semiautomatic rifles and a loaded revolver were found in the truck,
Bretzing said.
Bretzing said that when
Finicum’s truck was first
stopped, an occupier riding with
him — Ryan Payne — got out
and surrendered. He said troopers
and agents ordered others in the
truck to surrender but Finicum
sped off.
Bundy and his followers were
on their way to a meeting in the
community of John Day when
then encountered the FBI-led operation to apprehend them. The
FBI acted amid growing calls
that something be done to end the
occupation, including from Oregon’s governor.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office on Thursday
confirmed the person shot in the
Tuesday confrontation was
Finicum, a 54-year-old Arizona
rancher.
At the news conference in
Burns, Bretzing said four occupiers are still holed up at the
wildlife refuge. “The negotiators
continue to work around the
clock to talk to those four people
in an effort to get them to come
out peacefully,” he said.

Dad resists
coming
clean about
his youthful
nose job
February
busy at
Baxter Senior
Center
N
D
EAR ABBY: I’m a
male in my early 50s.
As a shy 21-year-old, I
had minor surgery to straighten
a small (but at the time, to me,
ginormous) hump on my nose.
I didn’t tell many people and it
boosted my confidence, and although I can’t say I regret it,
looking back I don’t think it
was really needed. I met my
wife a few years later and
didn’t think it was important
enough to mention, which
doesn’t bother me.
What does bother me is my
daughter, 23 and happily married, is complaining about the
small hump on her nose and seriously
contemplatDear
ing surgery
Abby
to fix it.
She says
she’s the
only one in
the family
with such a
nose. Her
husband
and my
wife, neither one of
whom are
Abigail
fans of
Van Buren
minor cosmetic surgery, are urging her to not do it.
I have kept my mouth shut so
far.
I hate bringing something up
I’ve kept from my wife all
these years, yet I have this nagging feeling I’m betraying my
daughter by not telling her she
has the nose I was born with. I
also worry that she’ll find out
and feel betrayed if I say nothing. Am I obligated to tell her?
Am I a jerk if I don’t? Does she
have a right to know about her
father’s true nose? — INDECISIVE DAD IN THE USA
DEAR INDECISIVE: You
are behaving as though a rhinoplasty is something to be
ashamed of. It’s not! Speak up
and tell your wife your daughter inherited your nose and that
fixing yours gave you self-confidence. Then be honest with
your daughter. She’s an adult.
What she chooses to do with
the nose on her face should be
her decision and no one else’s
because no one else will be
wearing it.
DEAR ABBY: A year ago,
my boyfriend of two years and
I broke up. We had never had
an argument. Then one night
we did, and we both said things
we shouldn’t have. Since that
day, he hasn’t spoken to me
again. He has ignored all my
phone calls and my attempts to
work things out. I have tried to
move on, but I can’t seem to. I
have been devastated ever since
because I truly loved him.
I recently started seeing a guy
I like, but when it comes down
to it, I can’t let go of my exboyfriend. I am paralyzed by
my emotions. Mostly I feel betrayed. He has destroyed every
perception I had about relationships, like being there for each
other through the good and bad.
How can I help myself heal? —
MOTIONLESS IN GEORGIA
DEAR MOTIONLESS: Not
all romances are meant to lead
to marriage. Intelligent adults
don’t necessarily agree on
everything, but they should be
mature enough to discuss their
differences without resorting to
vitriol. If your ex-boyfriend’s
reaction to a disagreement was
to run for the hills, better that
you learned it after two years
rather than, say, five.
I subscribe to the philosophy
that our relationships —
whether successful or failed —
teach us important lessons
about life. Sometimes we must
accept life as it is rather than
our fantasy of what we would
like it to be. Because you
haven’t been able to progress
beyond the romance you had
with your ex, you will save
yourself additional pain and
wasted time if you discuss it
with a licensed mental health
professional.

Carrie Underwood to honor military families
By KRISTIN M. HALL
Associated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) — Country star
Carrie Underwood is working with Carnival Cruise Line and Operation Homefront to honor military families
throughout her upcoming “Storyteller”
tour.
Underwood will meet with selected
military families in 10 cities, and she’ll
perform a free concert for hundreds of
military families onboard the Carnival
Vista in New York on Nov. 4.
Her tour begins Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.
The Grammy-winning singer said in a
phone interview that meeting military
families is a special experience.
“As an entertainer I get to be onstage
and everybody has to listen to me, well,
hopefully they want to listen to me,” Underwood said. “But it’s really nice to get
to talk to people and get to hear their stories.”
Fans can purchase commemorative dog
tags throughout the tour, with all proceeds going to Operation Homefront, a
nonprofit organization that provides
emergency and financial assistance to
families of service members and
wounded warriors.
“I feel country music has always been
very close and very supportive of military members and their families,” Underwood said. “I feel like this is just another
really cool opportunity to say thank
you.”
During the tour, Underwood will be
performing in the round for the first time,
with the crowds surrounding the stage.
“One amazing thing about having it in
the round is I just get to see so many
more faces,” she said. “It’s nice to have
moments ... and look into people’s faces
and see them having fun and see them
singing along.”
She’ll have a special guest along for
most of the tour — her 11-month-old son
Isaiah.
“This will be the first that we’ve been
out for any length of time with him,” Underwood said. “It’s interesting with a
baby. I am going to have to figure out
this sleep thing. Being on the road, hotels
rooms and stuff like that. It’s not his
space, but he’ll get used to that.”
ow that the snow has
melted and temperatures
on the rise we are open
at the Baxter Senior Center with
coffee pot on and sweet treats
for our people, and ready for a
full month of February activities.

we will be celebrating on Feb.
12 at the center with the crowning of Valentine queen and a
special lunch. Come join us as

Fear
tears us
apart
“When we see others as the enemy,
we risk becoming what we hate.
When we oppress others, we end up
oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others.”
Desmond Tutu
I’m a people person. I love people.
It doesn’t matter what color, race, religion, politics, culture, sexual preference, nationality,
or so on. I admit
there are those
who make it very
difficult for me to
love them, and
there are those I
have a really hard
time understanding where they
are coming from,
but I try. On
Karen
those occasions
Langford
when I can’t find
it within me to
love someone because of the words
they speak or because of their actions,
I at least try to see the little infant
within them that was born innocent
and knowing nothing but love. And
then there are those who I just have to
bless and let go because no matter
how hard I try, I cannot love their
human side so much, if at all, because
of the harm they do to me or to others.
How amazing would it be if people
could look past their differences and
actually see what they have in common?!?! Look for what’s good and
beautiful in someone rather than immediately judging and condemning
them because of what we were taught
or what we were told we have to believe about that person or group of
people. If we could get to know people first rather than instantly putting
up a wall between us, then we might
just get to know some really wonderful people and make some new,
meaningful friendships.
If we could get past the fear, which
is mostly propagated by others, and
trust our inner Spirit whose foundation is always unconditional love,
then we might be able to really distinguish who might be those who would
cause us real harm or not. What saddens me is when there are those who
would hold a whole group of people
accountable for the actions of a select
few when the larger majority are
good, loving, kind-hearted people.
I’m so glad that I learned that lesson
early or I would have missed out on
knowing a lot of really beautiful people.
There are many who use fear to control the masses into agreeing with
their ideologies and/or beliefs, and
many times, it’s against a person,
group of people, or even a nation.
What’s worse is that some of these
same people will declare that they are
speaking for God. If someone is not
speaking words of love, compassion,
kindness, and mercy, then they’re not
speaking for God; they’re speaking
for themselves and their own personal
agendas. These very principles were
taught by Jesus and other great Spiritual Masters throughout time as well,
as by those who teach them today.
There’s a lot of chaos occurring in
the world and we’re seeing and hearing a lot of words of hate, bigotry,
and ignorance coming from some of
our religious leaders and politicians
(not all), and they are using fear to
separate us and to tear us apart. As
people of faith (whatever religion you
believe in), we have got to remember
the teachings of our Masters who
taught love and compassion. We cannot give up on people. As Buddha
said, “A generous heart, kind speech,
and a life of service and compassion
are the things which renew humanity.”
Whenever there is a disaster, no
matter where it is, people from all
over the world come together to lend
a hand and to help each other. There
are no boundaries or differences. We
see each other as human beings helping human beings. During the recent
blizzard, I saw videos of people in
New York City having snow ball
fights and having a grand old time.
They didn’t care what the other person looked like or what they believed.
They all came out to experience

Susan Capron, Director of Family Ministries and Communications, in front of St. Michael’s Episcopal
Church in Cookeville.
St. Michael’s Episcopal
Church focuses on families
COOKEVILLE — St. Michael’s
Episcopal Church in Cookeville is
pleased to announce an addition to its
staff. Susan Capron, founder and former executive director of the
Cookeville Children’s Museum, who
has been working for St. Michael’s as
Director of Family Ministries for just
over a year, will now add Director of
Communications to her responsibilities.
Capron and her family have attended
St. Michael’s Episcopal church since
moving to Cookeville in 2003.
“Having come from a large Methodist
Church in Atlanta, we visited St.
Michael’s and found it to be a warm
and welcoming environment, with
wonderful music and a church service
that is rich with Christian tradition and
liturgy,” Capron said.
Capron began assisting in a Sunday
School classroom at St. Michael’s a
dozen years ago, eventually becoming
one of two volunteer Christian education teachers for the children of the
parish. When a staff position opened up
in the fall of 2014, Capron was appointed Director of Family Ministries,
charged with working with families and
young people in the parish to build
growth through ministry and events
programming.
New events started by Capron at St.
Michael’s include monthly catered
Wednesday night dinners, followed by
a program or entertainment; familytime craft workshops; youth service and
outreach; a back-to-school carnival; an
All Hallow’s Eve party; game night; a
talent show; a special youth-led Sunday
service; and an end-of-the-year Hullabaloo. Upcoming events include the
American Red Cross Babysitter’s
Training on Saturday, February 6, from
9:30 to 4:30, and a youth evening of
baking cookies for Putnam County jail
inmates, “Cookies for Sharing, which
will be held Saturday, February 13 from
5:30 to 8 p.m.
“In her short time on the staff, Susan
has blessed us with her creativity and
organizational skills, and more importantly the spirit that she brings,” said
Father Joe Weatherly, Parish Priest at
St. Michael’s.
In her new role, Capron will oversee
the church web site and social media,
handle publicity for St. Michael’s, and
serve as point person for visitors and
new members.
“I am excited to spread the word about
this great church, welcome visitors and
new members, and to share our good
works in this community.” says Capron.
St. Michael’s is a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee and part of a
communion of approximately two million members in the Americas and
abroad known as The Episcopal
Church. The Episcopal Church belongs
to the world-wide Anglican Communion, a community of over 80 million
Christians in more than 160 countries.
St. Michael’s Episcopal Church is located at 640 N. Washington Avenue in
Cookeville. Sunday services are held at
8 a.m. (spoken word only) and 10 a.m.
(with choir).
Adult and youth Christian education
classes, including a lively, peer-led,
café-styled class for students in grades
5 through 9, are held from 9 to 9:45
a.m.

Speaking In Stories: The
God I don’t believe in
Martin
Thielen
Many years ago, a few
months after I arrived at a new
church, I went to visit an inactive member of my congregation.
Although he used to attend
church regularly, after his wife
died, he quit coming.
By the time I arrived at the
church, he had not attended
worship for several years.
During our visit I said, “The
congregation and I would love
for you and your children to
return to church.” He said, “Thanks for the in-
vitation, but I don’t believe in
God anymore.”
I said, “Tell me about the
God you don’t believe in.”
He then told me his story.
Years earlier, he, his wife, and
their two young children came
to church every Sunday. But
then his wife developed breast
cancer.
In spite of all their prayers
and the best medical treatment
available, she only got worse.
He begged God to save her,
but she died anyway.
He told me, “When I buried
my wife, I also buried my
faith. I don’t believe in a God
who kills twenty-eight-yearold mothers with cancer.”
I replied, “I don’t believe in
that kind of God either.”
Martin Thielen, senior
pastor at Cookeville First
United Methodist Church,
is the author of six books
including “What’s the
Least I Can Believe and
Still Be a Christian?” and
“The Answer to Bad Religion Is Not No Religion.”

The journey from being raised as
a conservative fundamentalist
Christian to a progressive liberal
Christian was gradual.
My mom
was a halfbreed Osage
from
Pawhuska,
Oklahoma
and dad was a
half-breed
Tonkawa
from
Tonkawa,
Oklahoma.
Gene
My dad was a
Skipworth
migrant oilfield worker
and the Skipworths were one of
seven Indian families that migrated
from Oklahoma in 1939 to work
the oil fields of southern Illinois.
The eight families became known
as “migrant half-breed oil field
trash.”
My folks were of the “Church of
God Camp Meeting” variety of
church folk. My mom made sure
the Skipworth kids knew what sin
was. She had a long list. It didn’t
take long for me to realize that
using crayons in a Gene Autry coloring book was a sin and would
put a kid on the highway to hell.
Donny Fairchild was my best
friend in grade school in St. Elmo,
Illinois and he had a box full of
Gene Autry coloring books and
crayons. I could not understand
why his mom let him have them
since it was a sin. And, they belonged to the St. Elmo Church of
God!
St. Elmo had the first “den of iniquity” that I ever experienced. It
was the pool hall in the middle of
downtown. Mom told us that the
pool hall was the place of the devil
and pool was the game of the
devil. Whenever I walked with
mom to Mattix’s grocery store, we
always walked on the opposite side
of the street from the pool hall.
When I was in seminary and discovered it had a pool table in the
basement of the dorm I lived in, I
was shocked! I never had the
courage to tell my mom.
We joined the Methodist Church
during WW II. Mom wouldn’t
think of joining the Church of God
because they let kids have Gene
Autry coloring books. Going to a
drive-in theater was high on my
mom’s list of sins. When I was in
high school in Carmi, Illinois she
found a drive-in movie ticket stub
on the floor-board of the car from
the night before. I never got the
parental admonition about that sin,
I got a whole sermon.
In seminary, all of Hattie Ann
Skipworth’s theology was challenged, confronted and met head
on. I had heard from many good
church folk that, “Seminary will
ruin you. Seminary will destroy
your faith.” Seminary did. Seminary destroyed the legalistic, Pharisaic adherence to rules and laws. I
found I didn’t have to be perfect. I
didn’t have to pray for forgiveness
twice a day. I wasn’t lost in sin. I
wasn’t a bad person who had to be
“washed in the blood” each and
every day. I immersed myself in
Christ’s love, not “rules to live
by.”
Seminary did not destroy my
faith, it gave me new faith, new
life, and the message that relating
to others in Christ’s love is more
important than leading a life trying
to escape hell.

gangs in Cincinnati in the early

RELIGION
Why the Gospel makes me optimistic
You may be wondering what the title
of this article implies. Does the fact
that the Gospel makes me optimistic
imply that I believe I am going to live
a Christian life of wealth, health, and
prosperity? That is far from what I
mean when I say the Gospel makes
me optimistic. Does it then imply that
I believe that we will see a worldwide
revival before the return of the Lord
Jesus Christ? For the record, I am not
a postmillennialist. I, therefore, do not
believe there will be an overwhelming
Christianization of society, nor do I
believe that evil will be reduced to a
minimum in society.
And in reality, my view of the future
and the way society is heading is what
takes me to the title of my article. By
nature I am not a very optimistic person.
And when I hear about homosexual
marriage becoming the norm across
the world, it discourages me. When I
hear the countless number of babies
being murdered through abortions, it
discourages me. When I hear about
men who suddenly decide they want
to be women, and women who suddenly decide they want to be men, it
discourages me. It discourages me
that individuals made in the image of
God would despise their Creator and
rebel against the way He created
them.
It discourages me how easily this
happens in the world we live in, and
it discourages me it is becoming a
matter of hate speech for those who
speak out against this wickedness. It
discourages me that a Christian’s conscience no longer is taken into account when it comes to the sanctity of
marriage and the sanctity of human
life. It discourages me that the Christian’s conscience is shut out when we
want to say just because a man feels
like a woman doesn’t mean that he is
a woman. It simply means he needs
help coming to terms with who God
made him to be.
If a young lady weighs 95 pounds
but looks in the mirror and thinks she
is fat, would you let her continue to
starve herself to death, or would you
try and convince her that her perception is not reality and she needs some
help? I am fairly certain everyone
reading this would try and get that girl
some help.
Ryan
Barnhart
Yet when a confused male thinks
he is really a female, no one feels
the need to tell
that man that his
perception is not
reality? At best
that is hypocritical and at worst
that is simply
being irrational.
But sin often
makes us irrational, does it
not?
I am certain that this is probably offending some of my readers right now.
I want you to know that I am not intentionally trying to offend you, but I
won’t apologize for speaking the
truth.
What offends me is that I have three
daughters and I have to be concerned
that one day they will come home
from school and tell me that the locker
rooms are now open to boys who
think they are girls. I do get that technically we still live in the “bible belt”
so maybe some of this stuff is still far
off in the distance.
Or maybe it’s not. What are churches
in our area going to do when the laws
of the land say that a pastor cannot
speak out against these things without
being charged for hate speech? This is
already taking place in Canada and
Europe. How much longer till it
comes our way?
By nature, these things concern and
discourage me from a Christian perspective.
But that’s when I have to remember
the Gospel. I have to remember that
the Gospel is not some quick fix to
make us healthy, wealthy, and prosperous, but rather the Gospel is the
power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes it!
The Gospel is bigger than the evil
one and all his fiery darts he throws
our way! The Gospel is bigger than all
the wickedness of society! The Gospel
still has the power to justify sinners
through the finished work of Jesus
Christ alone! This makes me optimistic! I don’t have to believe in a
worldwide revival before the return of
the Lord Jesus Christ to be optimistic.
I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but
I’m not holding my breath that the
majority of society will turn to Christianity and away from wickedness.
What I do know, however, is that God
will continue to save souls through the
power of the Gospel! And those souls
must continue to be salt and light in a
dark world! Much about society today
discourages me, but dear friends the
Gospel makes me optimistic that God
is in control and will continue to save
souls and persevere His people!
Come join us for worship at Post
Oak this Sunday at 10:55 a.m. We
would love to see you there. Until
then, may the Gospel continue to
bring optimism to the heart of every
believer.

of society by concerning ourselves with the Sovereign. John the Baptist told Herod that his adulterous relationship was “not lawful.”
Now, whose law was he talking about? John
was appealing to the laws of God that supersede
the changeable laws of man. God is patient with
us, but He is also meticulously recording our
deeds of what sort they are.

School fight bullying, teaches
social skills with hand puppets
learn the tools to become a good person
or is not nice, we see that as a failure,”
Stein said.
“It’s important for the children to learn
how to be refined and upright.”
With hand puppets, a new social skill is
introduced each week to the children.
Zriri was a part of a 30-minute, interactive lesson, titled Sticking to the Task,
about how procrastination can hinder success in school and at home.
The curriculum was created by Torah
Team, a national program that encourages
Jewish children to make the right choices,
while becoming emotionally intelligent.
Other lessons include handling jealousy,
combating bullying, thinking before
speaking and becoming an effective problem-solver.
Chana Stein, a teacher at the Oak Park
school and the rabbi’s mother, helped develop the program and teaches all of the
lessons by using puppets and other interactive tools.

Panel OKs gay rights
bill but leaves out
transgender rights
The Wednesday night high school and college-age class thanked Pastor Mike Gillock for his leadership and mentoring of the youth at Knight’s Chapel Free Will Baptist Church for the past 11 years. Celebrating are, from left, Andrew Gothard, Kenzie Graybill, Wesley Gothard, Hannah Turner, Pastor Mike Gillock, Kaitlyn Knight, Lohan Sutton,
MacKenzie Nash and Conner Gillock.
OAK PARK, Mich. (AP) — The classroom of youngsters erupted into cheers
and began making siren noises as Zriri
the firefighter rode in on his fire truck.
Zriri always gets the job done fast. He
never procrastinates and makes sure all of
his tasks are completed before hanging
out with friends or playing games, according to The Detroit News.
One more thing about Zriri: He’s a puppet, one of many used to teach children
social skills and behavior at Lubavitch
Cheder Elementary.
“Finish your homework and clean your
room right away,” Zriri told the class of
5- and 6-year-olds.
“Buzzy the brain roller will try to make
you do a puzzle instead, but procrastination is bad.”
Rabbi Mendel Stein, development director, said the Jewish faith-based school focuses on character development and
education.
“If a child is book smart but does not
One day, we will all understand the true nature
of our lives. The repentant thief on the cross pled
with the other, “We are getting what our deeds
deserve.” That will be true for you…and me.
In our remaining days, perhaps we should concern ourselves with higher virtues and not the
minimum daily allowance. We have played fast
and loose for too long. Jonathan Edwards read,
“In due time, their foot will slip.” I have read
those words, too. We can do better. We can walk,
then run, then fly. Connect the dots. You’ll get
the picture.
Among them is the “1-10 Facial Wheel,”
a cutout with illustrations of different
faces to help children express how they
are feeling, ranging from 1 (having an
idea) to 10 (being very angry). Chana
Stein said if kids can identify how they
feel in a given situation, it’s easier to
solve a problem if there is one.
“What makes this program so unique is
that the tools are given to the children.
The parents and teachers help to reinforce
the lesson in the classroom and while at
home,” Chana Stein said. “Being able to
teach these skills is the highlight of my
week.”
The school opened in 1965 and has an
enrollment of 100 students in grades K-7.
Stein said because of the school’s reputation in the community, students come
from all over to attend Lubavitch Cheder.
“Students commute from Ann Arbor and
as far as Toledo. Many of them go on to
become respected leaders in society,” he
said.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ever
since Indiana drew widespread
and mostly negative attention last
year for a controversial religious
objections law, Republican legislative leaders have sought a
way to add LGBT civil rights
protections into state law while
also carving out exemptions for
people with sincerely held religious beliefs.
But the first attempt to do so
this legislative session was
quickly panned by people on
both sides of the issue.
The Senate Rules Committee on
Wednesday passed a GOP-sponsored bill that would extend civil
rights protections to gay, lesbian
and bisexual people and would
also repeal most of last year’s
law, which critics said would
sanction discrimination against
gay people.
The measure was immediately
excoriated by Democrats and
LGBT rights supporters — including Indiana business leaders
— for not going far enough because it does nothing help transgender people who are fired from
a job, denied service or evicted
because of their gender identity.
It was also criticized by conservatives who say it could force
Christians to work with gay peo-
ple over their religious objections.
“Please, please, please do not”
pass the bills, pleaded Curt
Smith, the president of the Indiana Family Institute, who opposes statewide protections for
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
Meanwhile, Scott McCorkle,
CEO of software company Salesforce Marketing Cloud, invoked
the uproar last March over the religious objections law. The bill,
McCorkle said, doesn’t do
enough to correct widely held
views about the state and will
“take us back to that dark moment in Indiana history.”
The future of the bill is far from
certain. Republican Gov. Mike
Pence, has said he will prioritize
religious freedom over LGBT
rights, and reaction has been split
over the impact of the religious
objections law on the state’s
economy.
A survey by the tourism booster
group Visit Indy — which backs
LGBT rights — suggests last
year’s law may have cost Indianapolis more than $60 million
in convention revenues. That’s
against $4.4 billion a year in economic impact such gatherings
have yielded in recent years.
KAREN: Fear is
tearing us apart
From Page 8
fun together.
If we can look past our differences in these moments, then
why is it so difficult to look past
them in our everyday lives?
We’re all on this planet together
as brothers and sisters, as well
as sons and daughters of the
Almighty. I agree that it’s not
always easy, but we can at least
try.
Peace Pilgrim said, “What we
fear we tend to develop an unreasoning hatred for, so we
come to hate and fear. This not
only injures us psychologically
and aggravates world tension,
but through such negative concentration we tend to attract the
things we fear.
If we fear nothing and radiate
love, we can expect good things
to come. How much this world
needs the message and example
of love and of faith!” I know I
do!

Third time’s charm for witty ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’
By JOCELYN NOVECK
AP National Writer
If you’re one of those people — and
I’m with you — who roll your eyes
when handed a pair of 3D glasses at the
multiplex, wondering if all this rigmarole is REALLY necessary, then take
heart: The lovely, color-popping visuals in “Kung Fu Panda 3” are well
worth those darned glasses.
And the evocative DreamWorks Animation visuals are accompanied by just
enough heart, witty dialogue and kidfriendly humor — anything about
gorging on dumplings, for example —
to make this an all-around extremely
satisfying third installment in the popular series.
Like a well-made dumpling, it’s not
too heavy but not too light, has the
right amount of spice, and leaves one
with some appetite for the next time.
Much of the appeal of the “Panda”
films is, of course, the starry cast of
voices, and it’s fun to try to figure out
who they are, rather than informing
yourself beforehand (but if you do,
stop reading here).
Of course, you’ll already know that
Jack Black is back, and in fine shape,
as Po, our rotund panda hero and reluctant Dragon Warrior.
Black’s goofy persona is perfect for
lines like, when he discovers other
pandas don’t use chopsticks to slow
them down: “I always KNEW I wasn’t
AP
A scene from “Kung Fu Panda 3.”
eating up to my full potential!” That
was my personal favorite, but the kids
in the audience were overwhelmingly
partial to this one, hurled mockingly by
the overmatched Po at his taunting,
evil opponent: “Chitty, chitty, chat,
chat. Chat, chat, chat.”
The film, directed by Jennifer Yuh
Nelson and Alessandro Carloni, begins
in the spirit realm, where Oogway, the
ancient kung fu master (and tortoise),
is suddenly attacked by the villainous
bull Kai, a former friend. Kai has been
spending the last few centuries collecting all the “chi” power from kung fu
masters and storing it in amulets. His
goal is to bring his supernatural army
to the mortal world and defeat Po, his
anointed opponent.
But the important thing to know about
Kai — Master of Pain, Beast of
Vengeance, Maker of Widows — is
that he’s voiced by Simmons, the
Oscar-winning “Whiplash” actor who
terrorized poor Miles Teller as a nightmarish jazz band conductor. This guy
knows from cruelty.
Luckily, Po feels totally confident and
up to the task. NOT! But first, an update: Our roly-poly friend has been
busily goofing around, as usual, when
the old master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman)
informs him he must take over the task
of teaching kung fu. “ME teach?” Po
asks. Shifu replies: “If you only do
what you CAN do, you will never be
more than what you are now.”
If that weren’t enough drama, Po’s biological father, Li, has turned up, caus-
ing consternation for Po’s adoptive father, Mr. Ping (the very funny James
Hong). “How do we know he’s even
related to you?” Mr. Ping — a goose,
of course — says angrily, as the pandas
happily bump bellies.
Po decides to journey with Li to the
secret mountain enclave where pandas
live to master his own “chi,” which
he’ll need to defeat Kai.
In this charming sequence, set in a
gorgeous Shangri-La-like setting, Po
meets — and hugs, and hugs — his extended panda family.
They include adorable young’uns (a
couple are the offspring of Angelina
Jolie, who’s back here as Tigress) and
a sexy ribbon dancer, Mei Mei (Kate
Hudson, hamming it up).
Ultimately, this is a story about having the courage to live up to one’s potential — a potential one might not
know one had. “I like who I am,” Po
says early on.
“You don’t even KNOW who you
are,” Shifu replies.
It’s a conversation we could all have
with our kids. Ideally, we’d soften it
with some wit and a whole bunch of
dumplings.
“Kung Fu Panda 3,” a 20th Century
Fox and DreamWorks Animation release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America “for
martial arts action and some mild rude
humor.” Running time: 95 minutes.

Waves and nostalgia wash over ‘The Finest Hours’
By JAKE COYLE
AP Film Writer
Waves of water and nostalgia wash
over the drenched and drippy “The
Finest Hours,” a Norman Rockwell
painting tossed into stormy CGI seas.
The disaster drama, directed by Craig
Gillespie (”Lars and the Real Girl,”
’’Million Dollar Arm”), is a movie of
curious contrasts: an unabashedly oldfashioned and overwhelmingly vanilla
tale of awe-shucks-ing, double-dating
1950s seamen, told with the modern 3D effects of your average end-of-theworld movie.
It’s about the 1952 rescue mission —
a true story — of a four-man boat of
Coast Guardsmen sent from Cape Cod
to save the crew of the USS Pendleton,
an oil tanker that a brutal winter storm
has broken in half off the coast of Nantucket.
“The Finest Hours” provides more
working-class New Englanders bobbing in churning nor’easter currents for
those who have been patiently waiting
for another wave to catch since 2000’s
“The Perfect Storm.” Here again is that
formula of maritime adventure and
Massachusetts accents (some believable, some that sink).
This one has an Affleck. Playing the
assistant engineer Ray Sybert on the
Pendleton is Casey Affleck, who
moodily skulks over pipes and valves
in the engine room for much of the
film. More knowing than his fellow
shipmen, he attempts to convince them
how to steer what’s left of the tanker to
safety.
On land is Chris Pine’s Bernie Webber, a timid, do-gooding Guardsman
stationed in Chatham. The setting
could hardly be more innocent; early
scenes show Bernie’s courtship of the
red-haired Miriam (the radiant Holliday Grainger): seeds of sentimentality
to fuel the action to come.
It’s just when they’re making their
wedding plans that the storm sets in,
news of the tanker’s distress spreads
and Eric Bana’s ill-informed commanding officer dispatches Bernie into
the freezing surf to search for survivors. His most notable companion is
a near-silent sailor played by the arrest-
ing Ben Foster, who appears to have
made a bet to say as few words as possible throughout the film. The central
foe to the rescue is the crushing waves
at the sand bar (”Tha Bahhh”) that
Bernie must miraculously navigate.
Parallels between Bernie and Ray
mount as the film toggles between
them; both are intelligent workers —
card-carrying members of “the greatest
generation” — thrown into impossible
situations by foolhardy supervisors.
With wet bangs hanging over their determined faces, they brave the storm
with ingenuity and gumption, gritting
their way through sheets of cold rain.
“The Finest Hours,” written by Scott
Silver, Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson,
has the feeling of a movie that’s been
stripped down to its bare clichés.
That’s not an altogether bad thing. The
film’s lean, classical simplicity is also
its greatest asset.
Gillespie’s movie lacks even the
slightest pretension and features only
the occasional flourish (notably a
tracking shot from shipman to shipman
as a message is relayed from the deck
to the engine room).
It’s a smooth-sailing ship without
leaky holes, yet not much inspiration
to fill its sails, either.
“The Finest Hours,” a Walt Disney
Co. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for
“intense sequences of peril.” Running
time: 117 minutes. Two and a half stars
out of four.

Without Trump, spotlight on Cruz, Rubio
By STEVE PEOPLES
Officials: Shooting
kills 3 at Shiite
mosque in Saudi
Arabia
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP)
— A shooting at a Shiite
mosque in eastern Saudi Arabia killed three people and
wounded others Friday during
prayers, security officials and
a witness said, the latest violence to strike the region.
The attack struck the Imam
Reza Mosque in the neighborhood of Mehasin during
prayers. Images on social
media showed wounded laying on the mosque’s floor.
The security officials said the
three dead was an initial toll.
They spoke on condition of
anonymity as a formal announcement had yet to be
made.
Witness Mohammed al-Nimr
told The Associated Press that
security forces and ambulances quickly surrounded the
mosque. He said that it was a
shooting and that worshippers
stopped the attacker from detonating a suicide bomb belt.
Saudi state media did not immediately report on the attack.
Shiites in Saudi Arabia previously have been targeted in attacks by the Islamic State
group in the kingdom. Earlier
this month, Saudi officials also
executed a prominent Shiite
cleric from the region, raising
tensions in the area.
Al-Nimr is the brother of the
executed cleric, Sheikh Nimr
al-Nimr.
Emperor Akihito
honors Japanese
war dead in
Philippines
CAVINTI, Philippines (AP)
— With a mournful bow, Emperor Akihito paid his respects
in a war memorial in the
Philippines Friday to the
largest number of Japanese invasion troops who died outside their homeland in World
War II.
Clad in black and accompanied by Empress Michiko, he
and Michiko each laid a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, Japan’s imperial
symbol, and silently prayed
near a marble cenotaph in the
Japanese memorial garden
along Lake Caliraya in Laguna
province southeast of the
Philippine capital. Some of the
170 relatives of Japanese soldiers wept quietly.
Akihito did not speak at the
ceremony, but in his only public remarks related to Japan’s
wartime aggression, he said at
a banquet hosted by President
Benigno Aquino III on
Wednesday that Japan should
never forget the massive loss
of lives in the war more than
70 years ago.
Eurozone inflation
rises to 15-month
high in January
BRUSSELS (AP) — Inflation appears to be picking up
across the 19-country eurozone despite super-low oil
prices.
Official figures released Friday by Eurostat show consumer prices were 0.4 percent
higher in January than the year
before, double December’s
rate. January’s rate was the
highest since October 2014,
when it was also 0.4 percent, a
development that may provide
comfort to at least some policymakers at the European
Central Bank.
The ECB is in the midst of a
massive bond-buying program
which is designed to get eurozone inflation back toward its
target of just below 2 percent.
Inflation has been below target
since February 2013.
Once again, energy prices
weighed the most on inflation,
but the impact was less than it
has been in previous months
as prior-year declines start
falling out of the annual comparison.
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It
was clear, even before it started,
that Thursday night’s Republican
presidential debate would be dramatically different.
GOP front-runner Donald
Trump had voluntarily given up
his regular place at center stage.
He skipped the debate, preferring
to mount a rally across town to
punish Fox News Channel for
“toying” with him.
The billionaire businessman’s
absence was addressed early and
then his Republican rivals
quickly moved on, getting a far
better opportunity to shine. Overall, the two-hour affair featured a
sober tone focused more on substance than personality.
There were exceptions, of
course. Ted Cruz defended his
authenticity and Marco Rubio
faced pointed questions on immigration.
But just days before Iowa’s
leadoff caucuses, there were
none of the breakout moments
that have sometimes characterized the more colorful debates
featuring Trump, battling Cruz
for first place in the 2016 primary
season’s opening contest.
Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to dominate the
stage. There is little doubt he
helped his rivals by not showing
up.
He was mocked early and
largely forgotten. Cruz set the
tone with a sarcastic impression
of his top rival: “I’m a maniac
and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly,” Cruz said.
“Now that we’ve gotten the Donald Trump portion out of the way
...”
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio also
weighed in: “It’s not about Donald Trump. He’s an entertaining
guy. He’s the greatest show on
earth.”
Charlie Neibergall | AP
Republican presidential candidates (L-R) New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., former Florida Gov.
Jeb Bush and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, talk after the Republican presidential primary debate, Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016,
in Des Moines, Iowa.
Beyond a few playful jabs, the
two-hour debate was a Trumpfree zone, one of the few such
events in the race so far.
Cruz fought to make sure he
was positioned at center stage in
Trump’s absence, but did little to
take advantage of the opportunity. He tried to embrace the role
of de facto front-runner at the
outset, pointing out that he was
being attacked by several rivals
— even before there were any
pointed exchanges.
Cruz later faced sharp questions
on immigration, national security
and, perhaps most importantly,
whether he was trustworthy.
Trust is the theme of the fiery
conservative’s campaign, and
several candidates questioned his
authenticity.
“Ted, throughout this campaign,
you’ve been willing to say or do
anything in order to get votes,”
Rubio charged.
Cruz fought back by accusing
Rubio of bending to the will of
donors on immigration, but it
was hardly a decisive victory.
Rubio did not help himself
among the conservatives who
question his position on immigration. The issue is by far his
greatest vulnerability as he tries
to convince skeptical GOP activists that he doesn’t support socalled amnesty.
The debate moderators played a
series of video clips highlighting
Rubio’s apparent shift on the
issue, which put the first-term
senator on the defensive at the
outset of a key exchange.
At best, Rubio may have
clouded the issue of whether he
had backed off his earlier calls
for comprehensive legislation
that includes a pathway to citizenship.
But rival Jeb Bush seemed to
get the best of him in an exchange in which Bush questioned
Rubio’s retreat on the issue.
“You shouldn’t cut and run,”
Bush charged.

Ethan Couch is escorted onto a plane by Mexican immigration agents, in Mexico City.
‘Affluenza’ teen facing 1st
court hearing since deportation
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —
The Texas teenager who used an
“affluenza” defense in a fatal
drunken-driving wreck is expected to learn Friday whether
he’ll be moved to an adult jail as
he awaits a judge’s ruling on
transferring his case to the adult
court system.
Ethan Couch, 18, was booked
into a juvenile detention facility
in Fort Worth after he was deported from Mexico on Thursday. Authorities believe he and
his mother fled the country as
Texas prosecutors investigated
whether he may have violated
his probation in the 2013 wreck,
which killed four people.
A judge could decide Friday to
keep Couch at the juvenile facil-
ity, move him to an adult jail or
release him ahead of a hearing
on Feb. 19. The hearing next
month will determine whether
the case will be transferred to the
adult system, where Couch
could face time behind bars.
Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said Thursday that he
supports moving Couch to an
adult jail, given his age and the
severity of his offenses. Couch
was 16 at the time of the fatal accident, so the case is being handled for now in juvenile court.
“He’s certainly capable of understanding now what’s going
on, and I’d feel better if he was
there,” Anderson said.
During the sentencing phase of
the 2013 trial, a defense witness
argued Couch had been coddled
into a sense of irresponsibility by
his wealthy parents. The expert
deemed the condition “affluenza,” which isn’t recognized
as a medical diagnosis by the
American Psychiatric Association and drew widespread derision.
The teen was later sentenced to
10 years’ probation, which including barring him from drinking or leaving Tarrant County,
Texas. Prosecutors and law enforcement officers blasted the
sentence as too weak.
In December, Couch and his
mother disappeared after an online video appeared to show
Couch at a party where people
were drinking.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
U.S. economy likely slowed significantly in the final three
months of 2015 — and the picture seems to have grown
gloomier in the first few weeks of
2016.
Sinking oil and stock prices and
weakness in China and other
emerging markets have raised
worries about their impact on the
U.S. economy. The Federal Reserve noted that concern this
week with a cautious assessment
of the economy.
On Friday, the government is
expected to estimate that the U.S.
economy grew at a minuscule 0.9
percent annual rate in the October-December quarter, according
to economists surveyed by data
firm FactSet.
It would be less than half the
growth rate of the previous quarter.
A key reason was likely a broad
effort by businesses last quarter
to reduce their overhang of unsold goods. Another factor is expected to be a widening trade
deficit: Further strength in the
dollar has made American-made
goods more expensive and thus
less competitive overseas. In addition, economic troubles in regions from Europe to China have
depressed U.S. exports.
It will be the government’s first
of three estimates of economic
growth for the fourth quarter.
Despite the fears that have
gripped investors early in the
year, economists predict that
growth will strengthen in the January-March quarter to an annual
rate of around 2 percent. The
boost is likely to come mainly
from consumer spending, which
typically fuels about two-thirds
of economic activity. Continued
solid job growth is expected to
embolden consumers to spend
more.
Still, that forecast assumes that
severe winter weather won’t depress first-quarter activity as it
did the past two years.
The Fed left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday after
having raised its benchmark
short-term rate in December
from record lows.
Many analysts think that economic weakness, subpar inflation
and global pressures will cause
the Fed to slow its pace of rate
hikes this year from what had
been expected to be four increases to perhaps only two.
For all of 2015, economists
have estimated that the economy
grew around 2.3 percent, about
equal to the 2.4 percent growth
for 2014. That would continue
the economy’s pattern of subpar
growth since the Great Recession
officially ended in June 2009.
For 2016, economists are forecasting another year of modest
growth of around 2 percent.
Report: US and UK spied on Israeli drones for years
JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S and
British intelligence cracked the codes
of Israeli drones operating in the Middle East and monitored their surveillance feeds for almost 20 years,
according to documents leaked by an
American whistleblower and published
in international media on Friday.
Reports by the German daily Der
Spiegel and the investigative website
The Intercept said the details emerged
from documents leaked by Edward
Snowden, the former National Security
Agency contractor who leaked millions
of documents about U.S. government
surveillance in 2013.
The reports said the intelligence agencies were able to watch information
that the drones and other aircraft broadcast back to their handlers. The project
codenamed “Anarchist” has operated
since 1998 and was based near the
highest point in Cyprus. Israel was the
focus of the program but it also hacked
into systems in Egypt, Turkey, Iran and
Syria, the reports said.
The Intercept report said the hacking
granted intelligence agencies a “virtual
seat in the cockpit” as Israeli drones hit
militant targets. In one instance in
2008, an NSA internal newsletter
boasted of the Anarchist program successfully collecting video from the
cockpit of an Israeli F-16 fighter, the
report said.
There was no official comment on the
reports In Israel. However, Israeli Cabinet minister Yuval Steinitz, who has
held the post of minister of intelligence
affairs, said, “We are not surprised; we
know that the Americans spy on every
country in the world and on us as well,
on their friends.”
“It is nevertheless disappointing because among other reasons, we haven’t
been spying or collecting intelligence
or cracking codes in the United States
for decades,” he told Army Radio.

played in and is averaging 3.5 boards
and 11 points per game.
Senior Mariah Dean had a strong
showing in the Golden Eagle’s last game
at Morehead State. Dean led the team to
tie a school record of 12 blocks in a
game, posting 6 by herself (also a personal career-high). She also grabbed a
career-high 12 rebounds in the game and
rounded out a stellar performance with
eight points and two assists.
As a team, Tech averages 61.7 points
and 36.4 rebounds per game. The
Golden Eagles shoot 39.4 percent from
the field, 28.5 percent from beyond the
arc, and 69.6 percent from the line.

boards per game. The Bruins shoot 45.1
percent from the floor, 37.7 percent from
the 3-point range, and 71 percent from
the line.
Kylee Smith leads Belmont averaging
13.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
Smith shoots 39.7 percent from the field,
41.2 percent from the 3-point range, and
71.2 percent from the line.

the Bruin lineup. McCabe averages 12.1
points per game and leads Belmont in
rebounds averaging 7.0 per game. McCabe shoots 52.8 percent from the floor,
32 percent from beyond the arc, and
85.2 percent from the line.
Tech (7-15, 3-6 OVC) leads the series
23-13 over Belmont, however, the Bruins were victorious most recently defeating the Golden Eagles in the 2014-15
season 64-62. Tech also holds the advantage in games at Cookeville with an 11-
7 home record in the series.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — For
30 years, Mississippi State endured 36
losses and no wins against Tennessee
in women’s basketball.
That streak ended on Thursday night.
The No. 13 Bulldogs fought back
from a 12-point third
quarter deficit to
stun the Lady Vols at
Humphrey Coliseum
in a 65-63 overtime
thriller in front of
5,710 fans.
“I really feel blessed. We didn’t play
well — the third quarter we were
awful,” Mississippi State head coach
Vic Schaefer said. “(Tennessee) made
one basket in the fourth quarter. I’m
really proud of our kids.”
Dominique Dillingham and Victoria
Vivians scored 14 points each for the
Bulldogs (18-4, 5-3), who overcame
just 3-for-16 shooting from 3-point
range.
Morgan William added 11 points,
seven assists and four rebounds in 40
minutes of play and Chinwe Okorie
had 10 points and eight boards.
Tennessee (12-8, 3-4 SEC) had double digits from three players with Jordan Reynolds leading the way with 15
points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
The two teams were even at halftime
following a buzzer-beating 3-pointer
by Jordan Reynolds to quell momentum that MSU built with a 7-1 run to
end the second quarter.
A dominating third quarter that saw
UT outscore the Bulldogs 22-10 wasn’t enough. MSU returned the favor
with a 15-3 fourth quarter to even

Tennessee Tech’s Hakeem Rogers (2) goes up for a basket during the Golden Eagles’ 81-79 victory over Tennessee State on Thursday at
the Hooper Eblen Center. Rogers scored a career-high 23 points off the bench.
Rowe sinks Tigers on late free throws
By THOMAS CORHERN
HERALD-CITIZEN Assistant Sports Editor
COOKEVILLE — Tennessee Tech, at
one point, trailed by as many as 13
points midway through the first half.
The Golden Eagles had nearly overcome that deficit several times, only to
see Tennessee State surge back up by
double-digits.
But Tech retook the lead with just
under four minutes remaining, then it
became a wild finish — one that ended
with Torrance Rowe on the line shooting three with 0:00.5 on the clock.
One of the slimmest
of margins, perhaps,
but enough for the
Golden Eagles to extend its home winning
Men’s
streak in the Hooper
Center to 12
Basketball Eblen
games with an 81-79
victory over the Tigers
on Thursday night.
“I knew I was going to hit them,”
Rowe said. “There was no question. I
came in (Wednesday) night and worked
on free throws. I came in early (Thursday), shooting 100 free throws. I give
the credit to (graduate assistant)
Mitchell Hill. He told me that I was
going to have to shoot some big free
throws and it happened.”
The Tech men improve to 15-7 on the
season, the team’s best start since 200506, with a 7-2 mark in Ohio Valley
Conference play.
But to come back from several double-digit deficits to win the contest?
The Golden Eagles weren’t scared.
“Not at all,” said Hakeem Rogers,
who led Tech with a career-high 23
points off the bench. “We knew we just
had to keep playing and be patient. It
was just being patient and run our offense.”
Tech head coach Steve Payne, on the
other hand, was happy to get the win,
but he still saw some room for improvement.
“A 13-point deficit is still a problem,”
Payne said. “But a win is a win. We
hung in there. We had some fortunate
things happen late, but we also had a lot
of unfortunate things that happened
through the course of the game. We persevered through it and showed some

MEN: Martin gets sixth double-double
From Page B1
toughness and gave ourselves a chance.
That’s a very good basketball team, and
I’m tickled to death to get the win.”
Ryan Martin, who recorded his sixth
double-double of the season with 17
points and 14 rebounds, tied the game at
67 for the Golden Eagles with a dunk
with 4:13 remaining in the contest.
Then, not even a minute later, Aleksa
Jugovic drained a 3-pointer to give Tech
the 70-68 lead with 3:31 left, the Golden
Eagles’ first lead since the 17:10 mark
of the first half.
It almost held.
With 50 seconds left, Rowe was sent to
the line for three shots, but was only able
to knock down the final two for a 76-73
Tech advantage.
With 10.5 seconds left, Keron
DeShields, who ended the game with 37
points, put in a layup to make it a 77-76
game.
With no time ticking off the clock on
the inbounds, the Tigers immediately
fouled Rogers, who had missed two free
throws just six seconds earlier.
This time, Rogers’ aim was true, hitting
both shots. 79-76 Tech.
“Hakeem played great,” Payne said.
“He really gave us a spark and he’s done
that a lot. That’s not a surprise to me.”
But with 5.5 seconds remaining, the
one thing the Golden Eagles wanted to
avoid happened as Rogers was called for
a foul as DeShields attempted an offbalance 3-point shot and three foul shots
to come.
“I think Hakeem was frustrated with
himself on that foul late,” Payne said.
“But it was a mistake on his part. We
need to keep working on that and practice that situation a little more.”
With 5.5 seconds on the clock, Tech
went from trying to close out the game
to having to plan for one more offensive
possession, depending on what State’s
best shooter had to offer.
DeShields made it look effortless,
knocking down all three charity tosses
with ease, tying the game at 79.
Tech set up one final attempt, getting
the ball in the hands of Rowe. As time
skated off the clock, Rowe didn’t get a
great look, but tried anyway under pres-

sure from State’s Tahjere McCall — the
shot way off the mark.
But just before the buzzer sounded, the
referee’s arm was up, signaling a foul
against McCall.
“I just wanted to make a play so we
could win,” Rowe said. “I did not want
to go into overtime. We had the momentum, and I knew they were jumping at
my 3 all game. I got them up in the air,
and we got that contact.”
The crew went to the replay monitor to
confirm the decision and decided that
Rowe was indeed fouled, and 0.5 seconds were put back on the clock.
It was hardly enough time for State to
make anything other than a desperation
play, but Rowe still had to hit the free
throws.
“I was pretty sure he was going to get
one of them down,” Payne said. “I knew
we were going to be OK there. We have
to do a better job up to that point.”
He hit the first, then the second, but
missed the third, allowing what little
time was left to expire as the Tigers
scrambled after the rebound.
Rowe finished with 19 points as he
played all 40 minutes for the fifth time
in OVC play. Jugovic, who scored his
first point of the contest nearly midway
through the second half, ended the game
with 10 points.
McCall had 17 points and 10 rebounds
for the Tigers (14-6, 5-2 OVC).
Trying to control DeShields and McCall was no easy task in itself.
“Make no mistake,” Payne said, “those
guards are good. We knew that coming
in.”
And it all sets up a big contest on Saturday night as the OVC-leading Belmont Bruins come to Cookeville.
“It’s going to be a big one for sure,”
Payne said. “I hope everyone comes out
and we have a great crowd. Belmont’s
very good and it’s just one game, but it’s
a big game.”

AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE (AP) — Music City finally is ready
to show the NHL just how big a party this town can
throw, and it’s only fitting that Barry Trotz will be
coaching in Nashville’s first All-Star Game.
Trotz helped build hockey in Nashville, coaching
the Predators from their expansion start in 1997, and
he earned a trip to this All-Star Game thanks to the
Washington Capitals. His star player, Alex
Ovechkin, is staying home with a lower-body injury, but Trotz will be coaching the Metropolitan
Division in Sunday’s game.
The coach sees this weekend as personally fulfilling. He also knows Nashville will put on a “fantastic show.”
“I was there from Day One, and I will tell you that
they will probably put on the best All-Star Game the
NHL has ever seen,” he said. “That is an entertainment city. They know how to do it right. And they
will do it out of the box.”
Of course, Nashville tapped heavily into its lively
music scene. Vince Gill is scheduled to handle the
pre-game anthem and be a celebrity coach along
with Dierks Bentley, while Jennifer Nettles will perform during intermission. Concerts scheduled
through Sunday’s game feature artists like Big and
Rich, John Hiatt and MercyMe.
An open-air stage sits just outside Bridgestone
Arena in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
There’s an outdoor ice rink and even fire pits with
s’mores in what’s been dubbed Winter Park.
All the honkytonks along Broadway stand ready
to help when the hockey party spills out of the arena
dubbed Smashville. Ronnie Whitfield, 58, the day
manager at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge across the
street, said with a laugh his staff will be busy this
weekend.
“We’re geared up for a party, but we’re already
ready for a party,” Whitfield said.
The NHL has tried its best to rev up the excitement
too, even though Blackhawks captain Jonathan
Toews joined Ovechkin in missing this weekend,
withdrawing because of illness. That landed
Nashville a fourth All-Star with Predators forward
James Neal named Toews’ replacement. Teammate
Evgeny Kuznetsov replaced Ovechckin.
The league switched the format for this All-Star
Game after a 92-shotarama last year in Columbus,
Ohio, wound up with a 17-12 final score. The NHL
hopes for an actual hockey display after borrowing
its 3-on-3 overtime format, and divisions will be pitted in a pair of 20-minute semifinals before a final
period with the winner splitting a $1 million prize.
And all eyes will be on John Scott, the 6-foot-8 enforcer fans voted as Pacific Division Captain before
he was traded by Arizona to Montreal and sent to
the minors. Scott wrote Thursday in a post on The

Washington Capitals head coach Barry
Trotz smiles in the bench in the first period
against the New York Rangers in Washington. Trotz will be coaching the Metropolitan
Division in the All-Star Game on Sunday in
Nashville where he helped hockey start and
grow as the first coach of the Nashville
Predators.
Players Tribune the NHL tried to talk him out of
taking part this weekend.
Less than 100 tickets for the weekend were available Thursday. That helped push the average resale
price of $778.82 according to SeatGeek, putting
Nashville on pace to be the NHL’s priciest All-Star
Game over the past five years.
“Oh, it’s going to be special,” said Predators captain Shea Weber, who will defend his hardest shot
title won a year ago. “I think Nashville’s been deserving of an All-Star game for a long time, and it’s
finally here so I think the show’s going to be amazing and it’s going to be special to have it here for
our fans.”
For a while, it looked like Trotz might miss this
weekend. The Predators decided not to bring Trotz
back as coach in April 2014 despite his 15 seasons
when they missed the playoffs a second straight season.
Predators general manager David Poile said Thursday that Trotz did so much helping create this franchise’s culture. Trotz even helped make decisions
like picking out the carpet for the locker rooms.
“He’s coming into town first-place in the National
Hockey League, arguably the best team in the National Hockey League,” Poile said. “Clearly a
chance to win the Cup, couldn’t be happier for
him.”

things up at 58-58 and send the game to the extra period.
William’s tear drop runner in the lane gave MSU a 65-62
lead with one minute remaining in overtime and the Bulldogs’ defense did the job the rest of the overtime period to
clinch the win.
MSU’s offensive rebounds were the difference, especially
in overtime after an Okorie putback helped the Bulldogs
take their final lead.
“Chinwe is slowing down and letting the game happen instead of rushing things,” Schaefer said. “We’ve all seen her
rush that but that rebound and putback was huge.
MSU had 20 offensive rebounds in the game with 19 second-chance points.
The Vols had double figure rebounds from both Reynolds
and Mercedes Russell but still managed to lose the battle
of the boards at 46-42. MSU forced UT into 14 turnovers
while having a season-low five of their own.
“It was a great game and I thought both teams fought
hard,” Tennessee head coach Holly Warlick said. “Mississippi State did what they needed to do to win the game. We
just couldn’t finish the deal.”
In the fourth quarter and overtime periods the Bulldogs
outscored the Lady Vols 22-8.
TIP-INS
UT: It was the fourth-straight road loss for the Lady Vols
who lost their eighth game of the season and are in danger
of falling out of the top 25.
MSU: The Bulldogs were 0-36 against the Lady Vols prior
to Thursday night’s contest. They became the last team in
the SEC to earn a win over Tennessee all-time.

Terps end Iowa’s winning streak
The Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Robert
Carter Jr. and Rasheed Sulaimon each scored
17 points, and No. 8 Maryland used a late
charge to beat No. 3 Iowa 74-68 on Thursday
night, ending the Hawkeyes’ nine-game winning streak.
The Terrapins led 62-60 before freshman center Diamond Stone dunked off a pass
from Jake Layman with 1:24
left. After a steal on the other
end by Melo Trimble, Jared
Top 25
Nickens made a layup for a
Roundup
six-point lead.
Maryland (18-3, 7-2 Big
Ten) made the margin stand up by making eight
free throws over the final 49 seconds. Coming
off a defeat at Michigan State on Saturday, the
Terrapins improved to 10-0 following a loss
over the last two seasons.
Peter Jok scored 14 points for the Hawkeyes
(16-4, 7-1), who lost for the first time since
Dec. 10. Jarrod Uthoff, who entered averaging
a Big Ten-leading 18.9 points, finished with
nine points on 2-for-13 shooting.

NORTHWESTERN 45
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Denzel Valentine
made five of Michigan State’s season-high 16
3-pointers and the Spartans clamped down on
cold-shooting Northwestern.
Valentine finished with 19 points, seven assists and six rebounds as the Spartans (18-4, 54 Big Ten) beat the Wildcats for the seventh
straight time.
Northwestern (15-7, 3-6) shot a season-low
20.7 percent from the field in its fourth consecutive loss. It finished with more free throws
(17) than field goals (12).
Bryant McIntosh had 14 points on 4-for-15
shooting for the Wildcats.

the Pac-12.
Ryan Anderson scored 22 and Gabe York 18
for the Wildcats (16-5, 4-4), who lost at home
for the first time since California beat them 7769 on Feb. 10, 2013. It was the longest active
home winning streak in the country.
The Ducks outscored Arizona 19-11 over the
final 6 ½ minutes.
The Wildcats committed 19 turnovers to Oregon’s six.

No. 25 NOTRE DAME 66
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Trevor Cooney
scored 22 points to lead four Syracuse players
in double figures, and the Orange beat Notre

It was the fourth victory of the season over a
ranked team for Syracuse (14-8, 4-5 ACC),
which built a 44-27 halftime lead and was not
threatened in the second half by the Irish (146, 5-3), who played without injured point guard
and leading scorer Demetrius Jackson.
The loss snapped the Irish’s four-game win
streak.
V.J. Beachem led Notre Dame with 22 points
on 5-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc, four in
the second half, while Steve Vasturia finished

Grizzlies rout Bucks 103-83

Missouri quarterback Maty Mauk (7) throws a
pass during the first half against Alabama, in
Atlanta, Ga.
Missouri dismisses
QB Maty Mauk after
series of missteps
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri dismissed quarterback Maty Mauk from the football program Thursday after a series of missteps that included three
suspensions over the past four months.
New coach Barry Odom said he met with Mauk in December and gave him a fresh start. But Missouri suspended Mauk again this week after a brief video was
posted to Twitter. It shows a person appearing to snort
a white, powder-like substance and the tweet mentions
Mauk by name.
Odom said Thursday he believed the video was from
“a long time ago,” but it was clear Mauk had violated
team rules in recent weeks and that was the reason for
the dismissal. The decision to kick Mauk off the team
came three days after the video was posted.
“I also made it very clear what our expectations would
be moving forward,” Odom said of their December
meeting. “After gathering information and speaking
with a number of individuals this week, it is clear Maty
has failed to live up to those expectations.”
Odom said the school would offer to help Mauk get
his life and academic career straightened out.
“Our hope is that he will grow from this and we wish
him the very best in his future endeavors,” Odom said.
Mauk, a junior, was suspended on Nov. 1 following an
incident at a downtown bar not long after returning
from a suspension on Sept. 29 for an undisclosed violation of team policy.
The move, coupled with the decision of backup Eddie
Printz to transfer, leaves little doubt Drew Lock will be
the starter next year. Lock was thrust into the job as a
freshman last season after Mauk’s stumbles, and the
Tigers offense was among the worst in the country,
scoring in single digits in five of the last seven games.
MEMPHIS (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies’ methodical, in-themud style of play doesn’t routinely
translate into 100-point performances.
But continued offensive adjustments have resulted in a sevengame run of reaching the century
mark, the latest coming Thursday
night in a 103-83 victory over the
Milwaukee Bucks.
“I think it’s the way we’ve been
able to move the ball,” point guard
Mike Conley said. “Guys are getting high-percentage looks, and
guys are playing very confident
right now. They’re not hesitant on
their jump shots.”
Jeff Green scored 21 points, while
Marc Gasol added 15 points and
eight rebounds for the Grizzlies,
who pulled away in the second half
by outscoring the Bucks 53-42.
“We didn’t get to our pace at all
from the start,” Milwaukee coach
Jason Kidd said. “.Once (the Grizzlies) had the lead, they started firing off some 3s and they started to
make a couple.
“Then the game got out of hand,
and we were down 20.”
Courtney Lee, Tony Allen and
Matt Barnes added 13 points for
Memphis, all Barnes’ coming in the
fourth, when he connected on four
3-pointers.
Greg Monroe led the Bucks with
21 points and Khris Middleton
added 15 points and six assists.
Michael Carter-Williams finished
with 10 points.
The game slipped away from the
Bucks at the start of the third. Milwaukee committed a trio of
turnovers in the opening minute of
the quarter and Memphis converted
the miscues into a 56-41 lead, causing an early timeout from Kidd.
Memphis carried a 76-62 lead into
the fourth. And when the Grizzlies
converted a handful of 3-pointers in
the early stages of the fourth, the
lead ballooned to 25 and the teams
emptied their benches.
“They have great defenders to
begin with,” Bucks reserve center
Miles Plumlee said. “But we are a
team that attacks the paint, and when
they really sink in on us, it’s tough.”
After Memphis opened the second
half with six straight points, the
Bucks never got the deficit under
10 the rest of the way.
“It’s about not giving up a hundred,” Gasol said when asked about
the string of 100-point games. “It’s
not about what we get. Obviously,
if we score a lot of points, that
gives us confidence and gets some

Green, Thompson picked, giving Warriors 3 NBA All-Stars
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) —
Draymond Green and Klay
Thompson were picked
Thursday for the Western
Conference team, giving the
NBA champion Golden State
Warriors three All-Stars for
the first time in 40 years.
Sacramento’s
DeMarcus
Cousins, Houston’s James
Harden, San Antonio’s LaMarcus Aldridge, the Clippers’
Chris Paul and New Orleans’
Anthony Davis were also chosen for the West squad for the
Feb. 14 game in Toronto.
The Raptors’ DeMar
DeRozan will represent the
home team and is joined by
fellow
East
reserves
Chicago’s Jimmy Butler, Detroit’s Andre Drummond,
Miami’s Chris Bosh, Washington’s John Wall, Atlanta’s
Paul Millsap and Boston’s
Isaiah Thomas.
The reserves were selected
by the head coaches in each
conference, who had to vote
for seven players: two guards,
three frontcourt players and
two additional players at any
position. They were not allowed to vote for players
from their own team.
They made Green a firsttime selection and picked
Thompson for the second year
in a row. With MVP Stephen
Curry voted a starter by fans,
the Warriors have three AllStars for the first time since
Rick Barry, Phil Smith and Jamaal Wilkes in 1976.
Along with Green, who
leads the NBA with eight
triple-doubles, Drummond
and Thomas were selected
by coaches for their first
All-Star Game.
On the other end, Bosh was
chosen for his 11th consecutive All-Star Game, trailing
only the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant
(18), Cleveland’s LeBron
James and Miami’s Dwyane
Wade (both with 12) among
active players. Paul is an AllStar for the ninth straight year.
West coaches passed on
Damian Lillard, who is in the
NBA’s top seven in scoring
and assists for a Portland
team that is surprisingly in
playoff position.
Previously voted as starters
by fans in the East were
James, Wade, New York’s
Carmelo Anthony, Indiana’s
Paul George and Toronto’s
Kyle Lowry. DeRozan joins
Lowry to comprise the first
starting backcourt to play an
All-Star Game in their home
city since the Los Angeles
Lakers’ Jerry West and Gail
Goodrich in 1972.
Raptors win 10 straight
The Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) — Kyle Lowry had 26
points and 10 assists, DeMar DeRozan also
scored 26 points and the Toronto Raptors set
a franchise record with their 10th consecutive
victory, 103-93 over the New York Knicks on
Thursday night.
Jonas Valanciunas added 11 points and 18
rebounds for Toronto.
Arron Afflalo had 20 points for the undermanned Knicks, who matched a season high
with a fourth straight defeat. New York was
without starters Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps
Porzingis and Jose Calderon.
The Raptors surpassed their nine straight
victories between March 22 and April 9,
2002. They left the Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and Orlando Magic as the only
NBA teams without a winning streak of 10
games of more, according to the Elias Sports
Bureau.
BULLS 114, LAKERS 91
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Butler had
26 points and 10 assists, and Chicago opened

ing after sitting out the previous game for the
Lakers, who lost their season-worst eighth
straight game to drop to 9-39.
Bryant and Gasol had a seven-year partnership that produced two NBA championships
and three trips to the finals.
PELICANS 114, KINGS 105
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ryan Anderson
tied his career high with 36 points and New
Orleans beat Sacramento for its sixth victory
in eight games.
The Pelicans won despite the absences of
newly named All-Star Anthony Davis, who
suffered a concussion on Monday night, and
Tyreke Evans, who has right knee tendinitis.
Jrue Holiday had 25 points and eight assists
for New Orleans, while Norris Cole had 17
points and 10 assists.
Bryce Dejean-Jones, making his first NBA
start, added 14 points.
DeMarcus Cousins had 26 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings, who have lost three
straight. Ben McLemore added 26 points for
Sacramento and Rajon Rondo 17 points and
15 assists.
Kings associate head coach Chad Iske stood
in for head coach George Karl, who was out
sick.
NUGGETS 117, WIZARDS 113
WASHINGTON (AP) — Danilo Gallinari
scored 26 points and hit four of his five 3-pointers to lead Denver over reeling Washington.
After the Wizards, who have lost five of six,
clawed back from an 18-point, third-quarter
deficit to tie the game at 99-all, Gary Harris
and Gallinari hit consecutive 3-pointers for a
105-99 lead with 3:16 to go.
Emmanuel Mudiay added 20 points for the
Nuggets, who rebounded from Wednesday
night’s loss in Boston with a sharp performance from the 3-point line, going 9 for 18.
Garrett Temple had 20 points for Washington, which put seven players in double figures. John Wall, chosen an NBA All-Star for
the third time in his career, had 17 points,
nine assists and seven rebounds.
Wall was just 5 for 17 from the field and
missed five of his seven 3-point attempts.
PACERS 111, HAWKS 92
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Monta Ellis scored
25 points and Myles Turner added 20 in his first
NBA start to lead Indiana past Atlanta.
The Pacers snapped a three-game losing
streak by outscoring the Hawks 23-2 over the
final 5 minutes, 34 seconds.
Atlanta was led by Indianapolis native Jeff
Teague, who had 20 points, and Al Horford,
who had 14. It was the Hawks’ second loss
in two nights.
After spending most of the final three quarters playing catch-up, the Hawks finally took
a 90-88 lead when Horford made a nifty cut
for a dunk with 5:55 left in the game.
But the Pacers retook the lead with a 12-0
run flurry and limited Atlanta to only one
more basket.
