Dr. Paul David Smith, Chattanooga Public Safety coordinator and a distinguished former educator, was the guest speaker at Saturday morning’s annual Bradley County N A A C P Community Breakfast at Bradley Central High School. Dr. Smith said they are trying to change the lives of at-risk students in Chattanooga. He Smith issued a challenge to the people of Cleveland and Bradley County to “Live the Dream” of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and not just follow the dream. He said in Chattanooga’s Violence Reduction Initiative, they are attempting to “give these young people a hand.” “You’re here because of your commitment to your community,” Smith told those attending Saturday’s breakfast. “But, are you living the dream?” he asked. “When Dr. King joined this work, it was about the struggles of all people, not just black people, but all people,” he said.

tHE 25tH ANNuAL Sandhill Crane Festival is happening this weekend in Birchwood. Thousands of sandhill cranes have made this area of the Hiwassee River a major stopping point in the winter migratory pattern which begins in the Great Lakes region of North America and finishes in South Georgia and into parts of Northern Florida. The festival continues today. Arts and crafts along with music, food and educational activities (including a live raptor show) can be found at the Birchwood Community Center. Shuttle buses are necessary to reach the observation area and Cherokee Removal Memorial Park, several local Cherokee artists and artisans are displaying their work. Buses leave Birchwood Community Center about every 20 minutes. See more photos, Page 10.

1 local office is on March 1 primary ballot By ALLEN MINCEY Banner Staff Writer
Only one local office will be on the ballot March 1, and only the incumbent — Assessor of Property Stanley Thompson — is reportedly seeking the office. Thompson was the only candidate to pick up and turn in a petition for the assessor’s post. He has served in that position for several years. The March 1 election is the 2016 County Primary and Presidential Preference Primary, and while the assessor’s position would not necessarily bring in a large amount of voters, especially since it is uncontested, the Presidential primary will, officials said.

The new Cleveland stormwater fee rates are appearing on residents’ utility bills this month. The fee creates a revenue source to address flooding and water quality issues within the city. Areas that have seen continual flooding and property damage are likely to be among the first addressed. Projects qualifying for federal funding will be prioritized based on a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood study. Development and Engineering Director Jonathan Jobe said the study is expected to be completed this summer. He said there have been some preliminary discussions about project areas, but nothing will be finalized until after the study is completed. “It has to meet their federal guidelines. They have definite ratios where it has to meet a cost (benefit) ratio … to use the federal funding,” Jobe said. One of the requirements is that the project is somehow connected to a qualifying stream or other body of water. These projects would be 65 percent federally funded and 35 percent locally funded up to $10 million. Jobe said having the flood study conducted made it possible for the city to receive these funds. Congress had previously named Cleveland as a city eligible for the study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, because there have been repeat flooding issues that caused property damage. “Obviously we won’t collect $3.5 million from this stormwater fee in awhile, but we can bond it and then do the projects (because we have this revenue source),” Jobe said. Jobe said it may not be necessary to borrow money for the projects because the entire $3.5 million is not required up front. When a project starts, the city’s share for the project is required. Potential fixes to flooding issues could include retention ponds to hold stormwater run off, detention ponds to slow the flow of runoff, and buying properties that continually flood because of the low elevation of the property and widening creek channels. The study has been in the works for about three years. See STORMWATER, Page 6

DARK GRAVEL IS SHOWN where diesel leaked from a tank in the background on the future site of the Spring Branch Industrial Park.
By JOYANNA LOVE Banner Senior Staff Writer
Environmental cleanup measures have been taken at the future site of the Spring Branch Industrial Park to address a surface diesel spill that occurred earlier in the week. The spill was not connected to work being done at the site. The surface spill was spotted near a diesel tank that had been on the property since it was a functioning farm. Doug Berry, vice president for
Economic Development at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce, said there was a 250gallon diesel tank on the property that still had a dispensing nozzle on it. “The tank itself is not damaged. The water separator between the tank and the nozzle appears to have broken and with an open valve the remaining fuel and/or water in the tank had an outlet,” Berry said. Berry said the tank had been used to fuel farm equipment
before the land was purchased for development as an industrial park. Tests did not show any issues or spills at the site prior to the sale of the property. In the three years since the purchase of the property, the tank was monitored and there had not been any issues. “It was very important to me that we got this taken care of immediately,” Berry said. One reason for this was the rain forecast for later in the week. See SPILL, Page 7

High surf complicates search in Hawaii for missing Marines HALEIWA, Hawaii (AP) — Rescuers battled winds of up to 23 mph and waves up to 30 feet Saturday as they searched for 12 Marines who are missing after two helicopters crashed off the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The winds and the waves dispersed the debris and complicated the search, which was expanded Saturday to include waters off Oahu’s west coast. “It makes finding things incredibly difficult,” Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Scott Carr said. The Coast Guard was notified late Thursday of the crash by a civilian who saw the aircraft flying then disappear and a fireball. Someone else reported a flare in the sky, Carr said. It was not clear if the fireball and the flare were the same. The Marines were alerted when the CH-53E helicopters carrying six crew members each failed to return to their base at Kaneohe Bay following a nighttime training mission. Hours later, a Coast Guard helicopter and C-130 airplane spotted debris 2 1/2 miles off of Oahu. A Navy P-3 airplane was scouring the ocean, along with helicopters from the Coast Guard, Army, Navy and Honolulu police and fire departments. Two Navy warships and two Coast Guard cutters are on the scene. Honolulu lifeguards on personal watercraft are also looking. The Coast Guard was keeping people out of a wide zone that spanned about 30 miles of shoreline, citing danger from debris. The zone extended from the shore to 8 miles off the coast. National Weather Service meteorologist Derek Wroe said Saturday that the surf peaked Friday afternoon and is slowly declining. However, a high surf

warning remains in effect. A storm about 1,500 miles to the north and northwest of Oahu was sending large swells to the islands, he said. The transport helicopters were part of the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Known as Super Stallions, they are the U.S. military’s largest helicopter, capable of carrying a light armored vehicle, 16 tons of cargo or a team of combatequipped Marines, according to a Marine Corps website. The Coast Guard initially reported that the choppers had collided, but Marine Capt. Timothy Irish said Friday that he did not know if the accident was a collision. The helicopters normally carry four crew members, but this particular flight also carried one or two instructor trainers, Irish said. He did not know if they were teaching the crew or just observing. Ty Hart, a 21-year-old from Oregon, was in one of the helicopters, the Oregonian reported Friday night. The newspaper said Hart lives on base in Hawaii with his wife. Hart’s former high school football coach and teacher, Alan Kirby, described Hart as a positive kid who always had a smile on his face and called him a quick learner on the gridiron. The family of Capt. Kevin Roche believes he was one of the Marines aboard the helicopters. “We believe the Marines and Coast Guard are doing everything they can to bring Kevin and his fellow Marines home safely, and we are grateful to everyone involved in the rescue,” said a family statement distributed by brother-in-law Anthony Kuenzel in St. Louis.

‘People in Purple’ campaign planned for Relay for Life By ALLEN MINCEY Banner Staff Writer
The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is coming up in early April, and local organizers are seeking promotional ideas to get more participation. The most recent idea is to hold a “People in Purple” campaign, according to Chrissy Seals, community manager for the Relay for Life for the Mid-South Division. She said this event is similar to the “Real Men Wear Pink” campaign that takes place for the Strides Against Breast Cancer in Chattanooga.
“We will search and ask ‘powerful’ people in the Bradley County community to be a ‘Power in Purple’ person. All they have to do is wear something purple every day from March 1 through March 31 and raise money for the American Cancer Society,” Seals said. She said the goal has not yet been determined. “This will be lawyers, doctors, store managers, and others — anyone who has a large face in the community,” she said. “We want to put them out there and tell the community to ‘be on the lookout for your Power in Purple’ person and request.” She said this will allow others to be on the alert
that a person in purple may be coming their way, and to create even more excitement in the community in helping raise funds. Seals said it has not yet been determined who these people in purple might be, but once they are determined, she hopes to announce them in a special way — possibly through the Cleveland Daily Banner. It could be that a person in purple might be shown in a special feature as to why he or she wants to help the American Cancer Society. If you know of someone who might fit into the “People in Purple” campaign, contact Seals at the American Cancer Society’s Chattanooga office at (423) 499-2606 or email her at
chrissy.seals@cancer.org. Organizers continue to prepare for the Relay for Life, which will be held on April 30, beginning at 9 a.m., at the Bradley County Courthouse Square. If your group would like to participate, with either a team or a booth, or both, contact Seals at the Chattanooga office. In 2015, there were 35 to 40 teams involved in the relay, and this year’s goal is to have 70 teams participate. The theme for this year’s relay is “Wish Upon a Cure,” and groups are asked to use a Disney motif in their participation.

their age/career level. Students have learned valuable networking skills and the importance of community connections through working with businesses and their customers in the service area. Additionally, students received career advice and resume assistance as part of the program, better preparing them for life after graduation. The program has allowed students to experience work-life balance. Small Business specialist Jennie DeCook, stated, “We were thrilled to have the opportunity to pair SBDC clients with Cleveland State students.” Reiter said she hopes employers become aware of the benefits of hiring student interns, and in turn, they will continue as program participants either by paying interns on their own or at least serving as a future volunteer co-op placement. “Our overall goal is to identify, recruit and cultivate co-op placements for future Cleveland State students so that they can gain hands-on experience in their career field. This program will allow us to get our foot in the door with small businesses in order to sell them on the value of the co-op program.” Reiter continued, “This was really a win/win for everyone involved. The students gained the experience while being paid for it, and the employers received paid interns. This whole program has really exceeded our expectations. Three businesses participating in this program, a local bank, a
physicians’ group and a school system, have expressed an interest in hiring their interns after the internship is completed. Two additional students have already been assured of permanent employment following the internship program.” Carolina Roman participated in the paid internship program last semester at Southern Heritage Bank. “My experience at Southern Heritage Bank was very pleasant. I can say that from the very first day I was treated kindly, and they made me feel very welcomed. Michelle Davis, the vice president and human resources director, treated me very well and was very professional.” Roman continued, “I would highly recommend this internship. It is an experience and an opportunity that can open doors in the future. During my internship, I learned to work and interact with new people in a different work atmosphere. “I feel that with this experience, I am building confidence in myself to be a better professional, and I’d like to thank Marci Reiter and Dr. Brandon, dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, for believing that I was the right candidate for this internship.” Cleveland State is currently developing a micro-site within the CSCC website where both students and employers can go to request further information on the co-op/intern program. For more information on the cooperative education program, contact Reiter at 423-614-8718.

The city manager is recommending that the four-day week be made permanent. He said he hasn’t had any complaints about the new work week. “I don’t see where we spent any extra money and every job was accomplished that was asked by a city employee,” Grieshaber said. “We’ve worked as a team. We haven’t had a residence miss something because of the four-day work week.” Mayor Doug Jewell said he has heard complaints from people who are not happy with it. And city council member Ruby Hines spoke out against the four-day week at a recent council meeting.

SuperviSed wOrk crews from the Bradley County Jail were used to clear the guardrail area of northbound Interstate 75. Sheriff Eric Watson said this is a process that will continue to be used in the future.
Sheriff’s Office has work crews helping with cleanup From Staff Reports
Supervised work crews from the Bradley County Sheriff's Office assisted the Tennessee Department of Transportation with cleanup along the interstate this past week. The work centered on I-75’s north side, cutting the weeds around the guardrails. The work crews with the Sheriff’s Office also cleared the guardrails at TDOT’s request,
which helps resolve possible safety issues as well as clearing out unsightly weeds, grass and debris. “Clearing the guardrail areas improves the looks of the area, as well as making sure the weeds and debris don’t wind up on the shoulder of the interstate, or in the roadway,” said Sheriff Eric Watson. He added that similar crews are expected to assist TDOT on the interstate on a continuing basis.

As a result of the investigation by property crimes detectives, Tanner Lee Ellenburg, 18, of Second Street, and Brant Austin Miolen, 18, of Lee Street, are scheduled to appear in General Sessions Court on Jan. 28 where they are each charged with vandalism under $500. “I want to thank the various media organizations for getting this information out to the community and to those who took the time to call in tips about the vehicle and possible suspects,” the sheriff said. Surveillence video was also helpful in identifying two suspects in the Jan. 4 theft of a utility trailer from a business on Waterlevel Highway. After viewing the video, investigative work by detectives identified two possible suspects — Ronnie William Brannett II, 40, and Julie Ann Sowell, 37, both of Brookside Drive in Cleveland, according to BCSO reports. As the investigation progressed, both were charged with theft over $1,000. Detectives are now attempting to locate the missing trailer,

In another case, Watson credits resident’s assistance coupled with proactive work by property crimes detectives in the identification of two suspects charged with burglarizing a large outbuilding on Leadmine Valley Road. Missing from the location early this month were saws, nail guns, and other power tools valued over $1,000. Information key to the investigation was provided by a Chattanooga business where a male and female attempted to return several oil and fuel filters that were purchased there previously by the theft victim, Watson said.

The Caring Place Fundraising banquet to be enjoyed by clients By LARRY C. BOWERS Banner Staff Writer
The Caring Place of Cleveland has scheduled a unique fundraiser for Thursday, March 3. The fundraising event this year will be a unusual concept, according to Toni Miles, director of organizations. The Caring Place will be inviting its 320 clients. The theme of the event will be “Let Us Break Bread Together,” with proceeds from sponsorships and partnerships
going to The Caring Place. The goal for this year’s event is $120,000, with all donations being fully tax deductible. The donations will provide funding for The Caring Place programs. Honorary chairs for the 2016 fundraiser will be Lee and Cynthia Stewart, with the event will being held at Lee University’s DeVos Recreation Center. Lee and Cynthia Stewart said this week they were humbled to be asked to serve as the event’s chairs this year.
“We learned from the first that this is a wonderful operation of community churches,” said Stewart. “It is also an efficient way to serve those in need, and it’s getting help to the right people.” “They (The Caring Place) does a wonderful job managing its resources. We’re impressed how loving and respectful they are,” added the two chairs. “We hold their organization in high regards.” “The concept (of The Caring Place) is perfect and very spiritual,” continued Lee Stewart. “We’re humbled that they would use our names, and we’re looking forward to the event.” The Caring Place officials will also be asking for food, gift items and decorations for this year’s fundraiser. Sponsors/partners also have the opportunity to serve as hosts, hostesses, food preparers, servers, decorators and in other roles. Miles said the concept for this year’s event comes from The Great Banquet parable: “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers, or your relatives, or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment. But, when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection

“His fight was so we can all attend events like this, if we’re living the dream,” he continued. The award-winning educator said Cleveland has the potential of being one of the greatest cities in the country. Then he had questions for the residents of the community, and all communities. “Are we showing the next generation that we’re reaching out to them?” he asked. “Do they see us as reaching out to them? Are we teaching them to eat, drink, and be merry, or are we teaching them to continue to work and follow the dream?” Smith said in our schools “we’re looking out for the brightest and the best.” “What about those others?” he asked. “What about those who work hard to get a C?” He said we have to teach all our young people that this is not the time to say, “We have it made!” “We need to be a people who continue to work and follow the dream,” he added. “We don’t need to look down at people, but we need to do something about the next generation.” He said his team (in Chattanooga) has reached into the schools, and asked them to give them their students who are not doing well. “We have 16 black and one white students, and we’re asking ourselves what we can do to help them do better.” “Do you remember the Crack Generation?” Smith asked. “Well, these are the children of those children.” He said the next generation will have our fingerprints on it. “If they don’t do well, it’s not their fault. It’s ours,” he emphasized. “If we’re going to live the dream, it has to be for a purpose,” Smith added. “In Chattanooga, we’re building a village (of these children).” “These young people should see us as role models,” Smith added. “They should be standing over our casket (one day), and saying nice things about us.” Smith asked those in attendance, “Are you talking about young people, or talking to young people?” “A lot of young people see us as leaders,” he said, adding this is something we have to do (and be) if we’re following the dream. “You need to create successes for your young people,” he said. NAACP President RaSharon King in her closing remarks said the chapter will attempt to meet
“This is a very detailed report. We will have all new flood maps,” Jobe said. “There is a lot of engineering that goes into this.” The previous flood maps had been updated in 2007, based on data from the 1960s. “So you can tell that they weren’t accurate,” Jobe said. The city defines stormwater runoff as “water that flows off roofs, parking lots, streets and other hard surfaces during rain storms” and other rain that is not absorbed into the soil. In addition to projects that qualify for federal funding, the stormwater fee will provide funding for local projects to address flooding and drainage issues. Jobe said the study would include recommendations on where these projects are needed as well. The plan is for $50,000 of the stormwater fee to fund flood mitigation projects that will be completed by the public works department each year. In some areas drainage pipes may simply need to be a larger size. Other problem areas may need drainage pipes and culverts installed where none exist. Jobe said he hopes the funding will be enough for five to six projects per year in addition to any of the projects that qualified for federal funding. This is compared to one or two local stormwater projects that were able to be completed without this revenue stream. A tiered residential fee structure is used for determining how much each resident pays. An average-sized home would pay $3.25 per month. A smaller single-family home, less than 1,775 square feet, would pay $1.65 per month. Larger homes with more than 5,900 square feet of impervious area would be charged $4.90 a month. Multi-family units would be charged a portion of the average fee. Apartments with more than five units and townhouses would be charged $1.30 per month for each unit. Duplexes, triplexes and quadraplexes would be charged $1.65 per month for

each unit. Mobile homes would be charged $2.30. While there are very few exemptions to the stormwater fee, there is a credit program that allows commercial and residential customers to apply for discounts on the fee because of runoff mitigation practices. The required form to apply for such a reduction is available on the city government website on the stormwater page (http://www. clevelandtn.gov/DocumentCent er/View/850 ). City businesses can also appeal the amount they are being charged, if they believe the rate to be incorrect. Chris Broom of the Stormwater division said this form would be for people who think they have more or less impervious area. Residents can also appeal the classification in which they have been placed. The form for this is also available on the city stormwater web page. Jobe said the fee will cover “the regular water quality that normally came out of the general fund.” This program focuses on education of city staff, contractors, businesses and the community on water quality regulations and best practices. It also requires “runoff reduction measures, enforcement measures and stream sampling,” according to the Stormwater Utility Fee Credit and Adjustment Manual. A presentation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is expected once the study is complete. Each Cleveland Utility bill designates that “this fee is mandated by Congress” as required by the state legislature. “The (stormwater) program is mandated by Congress. They tell us we have to fund it, so we have to find a way to fund it,” Broom said. Bradley County CU water customers living outside the city limits will not be charged this fee. Further information about the fee can be obtained by visiting www.clevelandtn.gov or calling (423) 479-1913.

Berry said new environmental assessments of the site will be done in the near future. Steve Campbell, who lives near the site, sent an email to the Cleveland Daily Banner voicing concerns about the spill. In his email, Campbell said, “Careening dump trucks on Brymer Creek Road brought attention to the frantic efforts to cover up a diesel fuel spill in the Spring Branch Industrial Park this week.” During a phone interview, Campbell said he was concerned about the diesel spill because any rainwater runoff from the Spring Branch Industrial Park runs into a creek on his property. He said he was not opposed to the industrial park in theory, but he wanted the project to be completed in a way that is “environmentally responsible.” His opinion to this point is it has not been. Berry had been out to the site as recently as Jan. 8 and there were no signs of a diesel spill or issues with the tank. “We drove up by that tank and there wasn’t any indication of a spill,” Berry said. “I looked specifically at it.” On Monday, Berry returned to the site with two Bradley County commissioners to show them the progress of the brush removal and cleanup. Work to clean up overgrown vegetation at the site began in November. The group smelled diesel as they walked the property. Berry went to the tank and saw some discolored gravel. He said it was beginning to get dark at that point, so the next day he contacted the environmental team from S&ME Inc. and notified the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Berry also applied for and received the necessary state permit to dispose of the contaminated soil in the Bradley County landfill. City of Cleveland Public Works equipment and personnel removed the soil. As the clean up began, it became evident there was contamination under the surface from previous spills back when the tank was in regular use to fuel farm equipment. Samples of the soil were taken and sent to a lab for further analysis. Berry said they knew there was potential for this. These issues would have been addressed before development of the site began. “I am happy today that we found the source and we got it taken care of immediately,” Berry said. About 280 tons of contaminated soil were removed. “We have done what we are required to do,” Berry said. The hole was then filled in with fresh soil. “We backfilled the removal pit … with soil brought in by the city of Cleveland from their stockpile, covered that area with rock, rerocked the driveway due to the truck traffic, then we brought in three loads of mulch to cover bare ground and create a berm to contain any soil that might wash during today’s (Friday’s) rain. We will follow-up with seed and straw/mulch as soon as it is practical,” Berry said. The now empty tank remains on the property. “I removed the nozzle and capped the outlet pipe, but the tank is empty,” Berry said. The dump trucks on Brymer Creek Road that drew a neighbor’s attention to the cleanup

County Commission to meet Tuesday By BRIAN GRAVES Banner Staff Writer
Bradley County commissioners will have a busy week once the Monday holiday passes. Due to othe Martin Luther King Jr. birthday observance, the Bradley County Courthouse will be closed Monday, causing the regular Commission meeting to be moved to Tuesday. Tuesday’s work will begin early as the Education committee, chaired by
Commissioner Thomas Crye, will meet at 9 a.m. in the Commission meeting room to discuss updated information on the Lake Forest Middle School project. Commissioners will assemble at noon for the voting session with the spotlight subject being the consideration of a formal resolution authorizing County Mayor D. Gary Davis to enter into negotiations concerning a contract renewal with the SPCA for animal shelter services.
The current contract expires Feb. 29. On Wednesday, Jan. 20, a joint meeting of the Fire and Law Enforcement committees will meet at noon to discuss the bridge retirement program which is offered by the state for public safety employees. That meeting will also be held in the Commission meeting room at the courthouse. Members of the Fire Committee will meet on Thursday, Jan. 21, at 11:30 a.m. at the Lead Mine Valley
Road station. The location is a symbolic one, as the Bradley County Fire-Rescue will dedicate a truck in memory of BCFR Capt. Wallace Varnell. Varnell, who was killed in an accident last year, served at the Lead Mine Valley Road station. The committee will also discuss landscaping at the Waterville station and an annual maintenance program for the department’s AED defibrillator.

Zeta Phi Beta donates to Family Promise Chapter is in process of organizing in Cleveland By CHRISTY ARMSTRONG Banner Staff Writer
Members of national sorority Zeta Phi Beta, which is trying to form a chapter in Cleveland, have carried out their first local community service project. On Saturday, they made a big presentation to Family Promise of Bradley County. Fourteen sorority sisters braved the chilly weather to present local Family Promise Executive Director Eva VanHook with a variety of items. In addition to a check for $250, a handful of gas station gift cards and postage stamps, they presented Family Promise with more than 350 cleaning and personal care items they had collected. Those included everything from laundry detergent to feminine hygiene products. “Family Promise serves the same population we’re consistently trying to serve,” said Zeta Phi Beta Tennessee Expansion Coordinator Dr. Erin LynchAlexander. She explained sorority members all over the country have
been working together to help homeless individuals and others in need. Though it does not currently have a chapter in Cleveland, it is in the process of recruiting members. While the organization still needs about four or five more women to start a chapter, LynchAlexander said they didn’t want to wait to start serving the community. When researching how the sorority members could help a cause in Cleveland, they learned about Family Promise of Bradley County. Their first contact with Family Promise was to surprise the director with news they wanted to make a big donation. “This is amazing,” VanHook said. “This was out of the blue for us.” VanHook said such donations help make sure many of the clients’ needs are met. The organization served about 50 individuals last year. “The majority of those are always children,” VanHook said. “We’re truly committed to helping families, whatever they may look like.” In recent years, Family Promise has seen more families that do not look like traditional ones. An aunt with nieces and nephews in tow and grandpar-
ents with grandchildren are examples of some of the local families who have found themselves homeless. Regardless of the composition of a household, VanHook stressed they all want and need the same things — whatever they need to survive while working to establish steady home lives again. “They do what makes it work,” VanHook said. “They are working hard to better their situations.” Family Promise partners with several local churches to provide families places to sleep at night. Then, those who do not have places to go during the day can visit the organization’s day center. There, they can freshen up, do laundry and receive help with other needs. VanHook said her organization tries to meet the unique needs of homeless families and help them live with as much consistency as possible. Parents and children are able to have some peace in knowing they will always have a bed to sleep in at night. As she and members of Zeta Phi Beta discussed needs in Cleveland, VanHook praised the existing relationships local nonprofits have formed to help those in need and told them she would like to see them have a place at
the proverbial table. “We are all about collaboration here,” VanHook said. “None of us do anything alone.” Zeta Phi Beta Tennessee State Director Donna R. Williams said they would love to begin forming such relationships as the new chapter gets together. It was a special day for Family Promise and the sorority women alike. Family Promise received items homeless families can begin using right away, and the members of Zeta Phi Beta were able to celebrate an occasion special to them — Founders’ Day — with community service. Zeta Phi Beta, a historically African American sorority, was founded on Jan. 16, 1920, at Howard University in Washington, D.C. The founding members were said to have been inspired in part by wanting to make positive changes in their community — even in a time when things like racial segregation were prevalent.

2016 Award of Excellence,” proclaimed athletic director Larry Carpenter. “There were so many outstanding nominations from longtime DII schools and to win it early in our NCAA journey is an amazing feat.” The centerpiece of Lee’s nomination was the women’s volleyball team and its annual Volley for a Cure event. The program has grown larger and has become more than a college volleyball match between college teams. The entire community is deeply involved. Starting in the fall of 2008, the first VFAC event raised $15,000 and has given over $130,000 since its inception. The goal has always been to raise awareness about breast cancer and to raise funds to support local families. The university joins hands with the Mary Ellen Locher Scholarship Foundation, a local organization that provides scholarships to children of breast cancer patients, both survivors and deceased. “This award would not be possible without the support of our administration and the hard work of coach (Andrea) Hudson

and her team, the Volley for a Cure committee, the Lee University staff and the community,” noted Carpenter. Hudson, who recently completed her 20th year as Lee volleyball coach, said, “Winning this award just validates all of the hard work by so many in the community and at Lee. My dream since I began working at Lee years ago was to find a way to get our university and the community engaged in an effort that would benefit someone in the area. “There are so many specific individuals who, from the very beginning, helped us create awareness of those affected by breast cancer. The Mary Ellen Locher Foundation was a perfect local organization to support because it provided scholarships to these families who had already had so much financial strain related to the disease. “ Hudson praised two of the Volley for a Cure’s biggest supporters. “President Conn and (Cleveland) Mayor Tom Rowland, who personally, declares the event “paint the town pink day.” The coach thanked everyone who purchased T-shirts. “The majority of our money is raised from the shirts. It is a small way that everyone gets to contribute.”
ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — As states rethink the use of solitary confinement to punish unruly inmates, a prisons oversight group is reshaping national accreditation standards to ease such procedures. Proposals range from mandatory health care visits and mental illness treatment for inmates in segregation to more time out of cells for recreation and education. “The punishment that we give to Americans is deprivation of their liberty, but it doesn’t mean that we try to punish them more while their liberty is deprived,” said James Gondles, executive director of the American Correctional Association. In Michigan, the state’s 7-yearold Incentives in Segregation program has led to reductions in misbehavior by inmates whose good behavior is rewarded with privileges in a step system. Last month, New York prison officials agreed to overhaul their use of solitary confinement, offering a broad slate of reforms aimed at reducing the number of inmates sent to “the box.” In September, California said it would end its unlimited isolation of imprisoned gang leaders, restricting a practice that once kept hundreds of inmates in notorious segregation units for a decade or longer. Also in September, the Association of State Correctional
Administrators issued a report calling prolonged isolation of inmates in jails and prisons “a grave problem in the United States.” Critics of rigid solitary confinement say it’s a dehumanizing form of punishment that increases inmates’ anxiety and anger, strips them of social contact necessary to interact safely with others, and makes it harder for inmates to integrate back into the general prison population and, upon release, society. Inmates sent to solitary should be prisoners “we’re afraid of, not mad at,” said Gary Mohr, director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. Mohr and Rick Raemisch, the Colorado prisons director, are developing the new American Correctional Association standards based on changes they’re pushing at home. A 2014 Colorado law bans the placement of inmates with serious mental illnesses in solitary confinement. That law was enacted after the fatal 2013 shooting of Tom Clements, then the state’s prisons director, by a former inmate who had been released after spending much of his sentence in solitary confinement. Ex-Ohio inmate Johnny Hairston says anything is better than the traditional approach to segregation.
Hairston, 59, said he spent many days “in the hole” during 15 years in and out of several Ohio prisons on drug trafficking, forgery and robbery charges. Usually he was sent down for fighting, he says. “I’d always identify myself as the animal,” said Hairston, now a security guard at a Columbus social services agency. “Once you go to the hole, it’s like becoming that animal that people go to the zoo to see.” At Belmont Correctional Institution in eastern Ohio, the state is looking at alternatives to the old concept of solitary as “the jail within the jail.” In the past, inmates caught using drugs could wait weeks before learning whether they’d end up in solitary. Once there, they stayed in small cells for 23 hours a day with a short break spent in only a slightly bigger holding area for bare-bones recreation like using a pull-up bar. Inmates often just spent their time talking to fellow solitary prisoners. Today, a streamlined system removes such rule breakers from the general prison population much faster. And instead of ending up in a tiny cell with no privileges, they’re housed in a separate, dormitory-style wing and given the chance to take substance abuse programs and other classes. A 90-day sentence can be
reduced by a month if inmates accept the educational opportunities. Inmates sent to solitary for bigger offenses, like fighting, are still housed in traditional solitary cells but are also given access to classes and counseling out of their cells — unheard of in the past. Ohio is testing the idea of enhanced solitary at a few other prisons around the state. The change in philosophy has led to a decline in inmates returning to segregation, Belmont warden Michele Miller said. “When you let them back out, it was kind of a crap shoot on whether they were going to violate rules again or not, because we had taken all pro-social activity away from them in segregation,” she said. The American Correctional Association will take testimony on new, more lenient solitary standards at its national conference in New Orleans beginning Friday, with final ratification expected by August, Gondles said. The goal is preventing new victims of crime by focusing on inmate rehabilitation, including their time in solitary, Raemisch said. “I don’t see my mission as punishing someone once they get to prison,” he said. “Anybody that’s been through a prison knows just being there is punishment enough.”

NATIONAL BRIEFS Man accused of interstate shootings fired nearly 30 times
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Police records show that a Texas man accused of killing two people while randomly firing his gun along an Oklahoma interstate last month may have fired nearly 30 times. The Oklahoman newspaper reports that investigators said they found 28 shell casings inside Jeremy Doss Hardy’s pickup, as well as a gun holster, an empty pistol magazine, a magazine pouch, five rounds of ammunition in a magazine and one loose live round. The Pasadena, Texas, man has been charged with first-degree murder. Police have said Hardy sped through three counties while firing from his pickup along Interstate 40, west of Oklahoma City, and hit at least four vehicles. The first victim, a 45-year-old man, was traveling with his wife, who wasn’t struck. The second victim was a 63-year-old.
Turkey company says its working with officials
HUNTINGBURG, Ind. (AP) — The company behind the commercial turkey farm in southern Indiana where bird flu was found says it is working closely with state and federal officials. Huntingburg-based Farbest Farms said in a news release Friday that its surveillance protocol for bird flu quickly detected the H7N8 strain. It was The strain was confirmed at a farm in Dubois County after there was a surge in turkey deaths, The U.S. Department of Agriculture said. All 60,000 turkeys on the farm have been euthanized, Indiana Board of Animal Health spokeswoman Denise Derrer said Saturday. The H7N8 strain is different than the H5N2 virus that led to the deaths of about 48 million turkeys and chickens last summer. Research has shown that wild birds’ northern migration introduced the H5N2 virus, which began to accelerate from farm to farm in the spring. But it isn’t clear whether the mild winter weather played a role in the current outbreak, state and federal officials said. The highly pathogenic H7N8 virus has not yet been found in wild birds, suggesting that the virus could have developed in wild birds that spent the winter in southern Indiana, USDA spokeswoman Andrea McNally said Friday.
Police: man killed after pointing shotgun at troopers
ELKINS, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia State Police say a 26year-old man was fatally shot after he pointed a shotgun at two troopers. The deadly encounter occurred late Friday while the troopers assisted local officers serving a search warrant at a residence in Elkins. Police said in a statement that the troopers entered the residence and encountered a man later identified as William Keith Waldron. They said he pointed the shotgun at the troopers, who responded by firing their weapons at him. Police say Waldron was pronounced dead at Davis Medical Center. Sgt. C.B. Shrader said a West Virginia State Police investigation is underway. State police referred questions about the reason for the search warrant to the Elkins police. They did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press.
Police: Driver shot during Acworth traffic stop pulled gun
ACWORTH, Ga. (AP) — A 24year-old man is in critical condition after being shot by a police officer during a traffic stop in Georgia. Acworth police Capt. Mark Cheatham tells local media that officers stopped the man’s vehicle Friday night near I-75. The
cause for the stop was not given. Cheatham says that at some point during the stop, the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at the officer, who then shot him in the chest. The man was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital in critical condition. His identity was not released. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating.
Chicago suspect’s last words: ‘I give up. I’m shot.’
CHICAGO (AP) — The last words of a 17-year-old black carjacking suspect fatally shot by a white Chicago police officer in 2013 were, “I give up. I’m shot,” according to documents released Friday, a day after the city released video of the shooting. A bullet struck Cedric Chatman in the side, pierced his heart and lodged in his spine. He died as he was being taken to a hospital. Officer Lou Toth, who was pursuing Chatman when another officer shot the teenager, described Chatman’s last words to investigators at the scene. The information was included in hundreds of pages of documents that the city released Friday. The officer who shot Chatman, Kevin Fry, consistently told investigators he saw Chatman turn with a dark object, causing him to believe his partner was in danger. Investigators said later the object was an iPhone box. Video released Thursday that captured at least parts of the Jan. 7, 2013, incident in a South Shore neighborhood shows Chatman bolt out of a car and across a street with Toth on his heels. Chatman scoots through parked cars and toward an intersection. Less than 10 seconds pass from the time Chatman jumped out of the car to the fatal shots. Fry can be seen trailing behind Toth, aiming his gun at Chatman from a crosswalk and firing as the teen began rounding the corner in front of a bodega. The footage doesn’t clearly answer the questions at the center of the case: Did Chatman, as Fry has said, turn toward the pursuing officers threateningly, and was he holding something that could have been mistaken for a gun?
Family mourns Columbia student who died in crash
NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of mourners gathered for an outdoor service in New York City to say goodbye to a Columbia University student killed in a crash in Honduras. Daniella Moffson and her friends Olivia Varley Erhardt and Abigail Flanagan were killed Wednesday when their bus veered off a steep cliff. The three traveled to Honduras as part of Columbia University’s Medical Brigade Program. The Daily News of New York reports that Moffson’s father gave a eulogy Friday at the service. He said she was giving and beautiful and went on the trip as a reward for her school efforts. Family friend Adena Berkowitz tells the newspaper Moffson was a special young woman. A dozen more Americans were injured in the crash, which investigators say was caused by a mechanical failure.
Dengue fever prompts Hawaii campground, trail, road closures
HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii officials closed a Big Island road, campground and hiking trail in an effort to stop the spread of a dengue fever outbreak that has sickened 223 residents and visitors as of Friday. Five of those cases could be potentially infectious, according to the Hawaii Department of Health. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources closed the Muliwai hiking trail on the far cliff side of Waipio Valley and its Waimanu Valley campground on Friday. Hawaii County’s Civil Defense
Agency blocked all traffic to Waipio Valley Access Road on Thursday and limited access to residents. The road closure comes three weeks after health officials closed access to state lands near Milolii and Honomalino Bay, which were “hotspots” for the mosquitoborne virus. The agency sprayed the area to kill the insects and met with residents and local tour operators, said Darryl Oliveira, Hawaii County’s civil defense administrator. So far, health officials have not identified other potential problem areas, he said.
Coroner: Imprisoned ex-NFL running back kills himself
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Imprisoned former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips killed himself while he was awaiting a trial that could have brought him the death penalty, a California coroner said Friday. The Kern County coroner’s office released no other details. Phillips, 40, was found unresponsive at Kern Valley State Prison and died at a hospital early Wednesday. He had been housed alone since April after he was suspected of killing his cellmate, Damion Soward, 37, the cousin of former University of Southern California and NFL wide receiver R. Jay Soward. His attorney, Jesse Whitten, said his client seemed upbeat a day before his death even though a judge ordered him to face trial on a charge of first-degree murder. A conviction could have led to the death penalty, but prosecutors said no decision on that had been made. The death will be reviewed by the federal official who controls the prison medical system, along with federal officials and lawyers involved in a long-running lawsuit over the care of mentally ill inmates.
15-year-old hopping from building rooftops falls, dies
NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a 15-year-old girl who was hopping from rooftop to rooftop in New York City fell between buildings to her death. Natalya Jimenez was found in an alley off a series of four- and five-story brick buildings in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. Police say she and two friends jumped at least three rooftops before they turned to go back to a building and she plunged to the street. Her body was found at about 4:30 p.m. Friday after police received a 911 call of an unconscious person in an alley. She was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
rejected arguments from Tsarnaev’s lawyers that he could not receive a fair trial in Boston, where many people knew the victims or had connections to the marathon. The defense also cited intense and continuing local news coverage of the victims and the anniversary of the bombings.
Regions Bank announces 260 layoffs in first quarter
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Regions Bank officials say the company is planning to eliminate 260 positions in the first quarter of 2016. Officials said in a statement Friday that the move is “part of an effort to improve efficiency and restructure the company’s expense base.” Company officials say the bank will continue examining its business model to maximize efficiency while maintaining quality customer service. Regions officials say they’re offering career counseling assistance and severance to affected employees. Additional details on which positions are being eliminated and in which markets the cuts will be made wasn’t immediately available. Officials say the bank employs about 24,000 people and the cuts represent just more than 1 percent of its workforce. Regions Bank, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, operates more than 1,600 banks and 2,000 ATMs.

Postal Service offering reward in search for acid attacker
MEMPHIS (AP) — The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information about an attacker who threw acid on a postal carrier in Memphis. A release says the attack occurred Friday afternoon on Socorro Road when an unknown person approached the carrier while she was sitting in her vehicle. The person threw acid on her, causing serious burns, according to the release. The suspect is described as a black male, 30 to 40 years of age, around five feet, nine inches in height with gray hairs in his mustache and a blue skull cap.

Marathon bomber loses bid for new trial, told to pay $101M
BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge on Friday rejected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s bid for a new trial and ordered him to pay victims of the deadly attack more than $101 million in restitution. The restitution order, issued by Judge George O’Toole Jr., is seen as largely symbolic because Tsarnaev is in federal prison and has no ability to pay. Tsarnaev, 22, was convicted and sentenced last year to death in the 2013 attack. Two pressure cooker bombs placed near the marathon finish line by Tsarnaev and his brother killed three people and injured more than 260 others. Tsarnaev also was convicted of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days later. During the sentencing hearing Tsarnaev admitted that he and his brother committed the bombings, and he apologized to the victims. His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died days after the bombing following a gunbattle with police. The judge, in his order denying Dzhokhar Tsarnaev a new trial, noted that he and a federal appeals court had previously

Cherokee Removal park participating in Sandhills Crane Festival weekend By ALLEN MINCEY Banner Staff Writer
If you are planning on visiting the area to see the sandhill cranes, it is a perfect time to also visit a local memorial for the Cherokee Indians who lived in this area and were displaced by the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee Removal Memorial Park, located on Blythe Ferry Lane in Birchwood, is a special site to remember the group of native Americans who were driven from Tennessee in the 1830s. According to information supplied by the park, approximately 9,000 Cherokees were a part of that Trail of Tears, as well as around 500 Creeks. The park was built as a memorial to the Cherokee Indians who were removed from their homeland and forced on the journey to Oklahoma. The park includes a granite wall that documents significant events of the Cherokees, and the floor of the amphitheatre shows the different routes taken by the Indians on their journey west. Park officials say the Cherokee Removal Memorial site is also a great place to view wild fowl that frequent the area, including the sandhill cranes. This weekend is the 25th anniversary of the Sandhill
Crane Festival at the Tennessee River. Approximately 12,000 cranes spend the winter at the confluence of the Tennessee and Hiwassee rivers, just north of the park. As part of the festival, many activities will take place at the park, including native American jewelry for sale, creation of corn husk dolls, paintings and various foods. These activities were a part of the festival on Saturday and will also be at the site throughout today. Music will be featured during the festival, and a special children’s program is scheduled for this morning. To reach the memorial park from Cleveland, travel west on State Highway 60 toward Dayton, and before crossing the Tennessee River, turn right onto Blythe Ferry Road. Signs will be available to get you on Blythe Ferry Lane and to the park. Cameras are allowed on site to not only take photographs of the cranes, but of the park itself and activities taking place there. The festival will continue through most of the day. The memorial park visitor’s center is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. It is closed on Sundays. These times are not in effect during the festival.

FOR ONLY A FEW DAYS each winter, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency opens the gates to the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge to allow the public to witness the thousands of sandhill cranes migrating South for the winter that temporarily call this area of the Hiwassee River home. This experience is the main attraction of the Sandhill Crane Festival, which continues through today. Access to the refuge is only available by shuttle buses, which leave Birchwood Community Center every 20 minutes. While en route, the buses also drop off and pick up at the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park, where arts and crafts are displayed.

Tennessee Powerball winners: No big changes to lives NASHVILLE (AP) — The smalltown Tennessee couple that bought one of three magic tickets splitting the world-record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot says they don’t plan to quit their jobs or buy a new house. Their daughter, however, wants a horse. After appearing on national television, John Robinson and wife Lisa went to the Tennessee lottery headquarters in Nashville on Friday to have their winning ticket verified by lottery officials. The couple’s lump sum payout is about $327 million after buying the ticket for Wednesday night’s drawing at a grocery store in their west Tennessee hometown of Munford, population 6,000. Two other winning tickets were bought in California and Florida. At a news conference Friday, the Robinsons said they won’t stop working and won’t make any wild purchases. They’ll pay off their mortgage and their daughter’s student loans, but have no desire to move from their gray, one-story house in a close-knit community into a lux-
urious compound somewhere. Lisa works at a dermatologist’s office. John is a warehouse supervisor. Both plan to return to work Monday, they said. Friends and neighbors say the Robinsons are a hard-working, responsible family with the ability to humbly deal with their new fortune. “That’s what we’ve done all our lives, is work,” John Robinson said. “You just can’t sit down and lay down and not do nothing anymore. Because how long are you going to last? We do want to enjoy a little bit of our earnings, and maybe invest a little bit of it so our son and daughter will have it and they’ll never need anything again.” No one has produced the other winning tickets, which overcame odds of 1 in 292.2 million to land on all six numbers at a Publix supermarket in Melbourne Beach, Florida, and a 7-Eleven in Chino Hills, California. In California, any winnings not claimed within a year automatically go to the state’s schools. Florida gives winners
six months to come forward before transferring 80 percent of unclaimed prizes to an educational trust fund, and 20 percent into a pool for future lottery prizes. Robinson said he reached out to his brother for help finding lawyers and financial planners before deciding to take the winnings in a single lump sum of nearly $328 million, rather than let the lottery invest the prize and pay him 30 annual installments totaling an estimated $533 million. Why pass up on a certain income totaling more than $200 million? “We’re going to take the lump sum, because we’re not guaranteed tomorrow,” Robinson said. “We just wanted a little piece of the pie. Now we’re real grateful we got the big piece of the pie.” The Robinsons said they have no plans to leave Munford, the town about 25 miles north of Memphis where they both went to high school. Tennessee Lottery executive Rebecca Hargrove said the couple would get a “small check

What does Obama carry in his pocket? Find out on YouTube WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Barack Obama feels tired or discouraged, reaching into his pocket can help him get over it. For inspiration he carries some of the keepsakes people have given him since he started running for office. He says that helps him cope on a bad day “because somebody gave me this privilege to
work on these issues that are going to affect them.” The upshot: Obama realizes “I better get back to work.” The president made the revelation Friday during separate interviews with three YouTube personalities. One of his interviewers had asked ahead of time for Obama to bring a meaningful item and talk about it.
19-year-old first-time player wins $2 million in Powerball (AP) — Lottery officials say a 19-year-old central Florida man and first time lottery player used the numbers off someone else’s unpurchased Powerball ticket to win $2 million. Frederick Walker said there was already a completed play slip at the Sav-A-Ton in Lake Mary where he purchased his ticket and decided to try his hand using those numbers. “When I heard about the billion dollar Powerball jackpot, I decided to try my luck and buy a ticket,” Walker told the lottery. He matched five numbers in Wednesday’s drawing to win $1 million, but added an extra feature which doubled his prize to $2 million. “How lucky that the first time I played, I won,” he said.
This recent series of Powerball rollovers has generated historically high jackpots, causing a bit of lottery fever across the country. A small-town Tennessee couple bought one of three magic tickets splitting the world-record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot. John and Lisa Robinson said they don’t plan to quit their jobs or buy a new house. Lottery officials said no one has produced the other winning tickets sold in Florida and California. Wednesday night’s drawing also produced 11 $1 million winners in Florida. Lottery officials said Florida has produced more Powerball winners than any other state since joining the game in 2009.
Ex-DA expected to be defense witness at Bill Cosby hearing PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An exprosecutor is expected to testify that he promised Bill Cosby would never be charged over a Pennsylvania sex-assault complaint, but a judge must decide if that constitutes an immunity deal. Then-District Attorney Bruce Castor will be a key defense witness at a Feb. 2 hearing to determine if the case is thrown out. The defense argues that prosecutors who arrested Cosby last month unfairly used his deposi-
tion testimony from the accuser’s 2005 lawsuit against him. Castor supports their position. But new District Attorney Kevin Steele says there’s no evidence of a signed immunity agreement. And accuser Andrea Constand’s lawyer says she doesn’t know of one. The deposition shows Cosby testifying that he gave Constand wine and pills before performing a sex act. He calls it consensual. She says she was drugged and violated.
He was prepared. When asked, Obama pulled quite an assortment from his right pants pocket: rosary beads from Pope Francis, a tiny Buddha, a metal poker chip he said came from a bald biker with a handlebar mustache he met in Iowa in 2007, a Coptic cross from Ethiopia and a Hindu statuette of the monkey god Hanuman. Obama has too many of the mementoes to carry all of them around “but I’ll pick out a few things...to remind me of all the people I’ve met along the way and the stories they told me,” he told Ingrid Nilsen of Los Angeles. She’s known as “Missglamorazzi” on the video sharing website. The interviews were part of a continuing White House strategy to reach different audiences and keep alive discussion of themes from Tuesday’s State of the Union address. Obama was also questioned by Adande Thorne, a video game enthusiast from Orlando, Florida, known online as “sWooZie,” and Destin Sandlin, an Alabaman who is into science and makes educational videos. Sandlin, who said he holds a civilian job at the Department of Defense, asked Obama to describe the characteristics of “Obamium,” a hypothetical element named after him. “I would want it to be stable,” Obama said. “I would want it to be a catalyst, but one that didn’t get too hot or too cold, and hopefully, it would be one that was useful to humanity, that we could actually use and wasn’t just some shiny object.” Obama said his favorite movie last year was “The Martian,” starring Matt Damon. He has not seen “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Asked by “sWooZie” who would emerge victorious if musicians Drake and Kendrick Lamar faced off in a rap battle, Obama chose Lamar. He said Drake is an “outstanding entertainer,” but that Lamar had the best album last year, titled “To Pimp a Butterfly.” Last year Obama praised Lamar’s song, “How Much a Dollar Cost.”
today for a few million,” and collect the full lump sum in about 10 business days. Robinson said earlier Friday that they would help certain friends, give to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, and donate to their church. “I’m a firm believer in tithing to my church,” Robinson said in an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show. The couple has a son, Adam, who works as an electrician, and a daughter, Tiffany, who lives nearby in her late grandparents’ home. Tiffany said she also wants a horse. “My first thought was, I’ve always wanted a horse,” she said. “I get a horse now. My dad always said, “When I win the lottery.’” Robinson carried the precious slip of paper to New York City and back before showing up at Tennessee’s lottery headquarters. Their lawyer went with the family, as did their rescue dog, Abby, who snoozed through most of the excitement. Lawyers who have represented other winners advise against going public until they have made plans with experts in tax law, financial planning, privacy, security and other safeguards to protect themselves and their winnings. The Robinsons did ask for privacy Friday. Munford’s mayor, Dwayne Cole, had wished openly Thursday for an investment in the town, whose annual budget is $3.67 million. He said Munford’s needs include fire department equipment, an indoor athletic facility for local schools and a community gymnasium. On Friday, Cole told the AP that they are not the kind to squander their money. “They’re small-town people who appreciate community, appreciate family values. They appreciate hard work. They are responsible. They’ve always lived within their means,” said Cole, who owns an auto parts store in town. “They have to understand, though, this is a big deal. This is not just a big deal for Munford. This is a big deal nationwide and worldwide. They understand that, I think. I hope they do,” Cole added. “I believe they can
deal with it. It may be totally overwhelming.” Robinson said he bought the winning ticket at his wife’s request at the family-owned Naifeh’s grocery on his way home from work Wednesday night, then went to sleep. His wife stayed up to watch the drawing, and started “hollering and screaming through the hallway saying, ‘You need to check
these numbers. You need to check these numbers,’” he said. He did, four times, then thought: “Well, I’ll believe it when the news comes on in the morning.” As for buying a bigger, more resplendent house, it appears to come down to practicality for John Robinson. “Big houses are nice,” he said, “But also you gotta clean ‘em.”

Senate to take up bill for more scrutiny of Syrian refugees WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate will consider new rigorous screening procedures for Syrian and Iraqi refugees seeking to enter the United States as national security looms large for voters in an election year. Propelled by the Islamic State group’s attacks in Paris, the GOPbacked legislation raced through the House last November with 289 votes. That veto-proof margin included 47 Democrats despite the Obama administration’s opposition to the measure. The legislation will have a much harder time making it through the Senate in the week ahead. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., needs at least six Democrats to join all 54 Republicans to approve a motion clearing the bill for final passage in the 100-member chamber. The Senate’s top Democrat, Harry Reid of Nevada, said last
year that was not going to happen. Even if it did, President Barack Obama has pledged to veto the bill if it got to him. The upshot may be more of the same on Capitol Hill: A war of words, with Republicans blasting Obama for failing to do what they see as necessary to secure the United States and Democrats accusing the GOP of fearmongering to score points with voters. Some of the key points to know about the Syrian-Iraqi refugee legislation: — WHAT THE HOUSE BILL DOES IS controls territory in Syria and Iraq. As a result of the extremists’ harsh, uncompromising rule, people in those areas have tried to flee and make it to the United States. The Housepassed American Security Against Foreign Enemies Act is rooted in
concerns the current process of screening refugee is inadequate and could allow a terrorist to be admitted into the United States. The legislation would order FBI background checks for Syrian and Iraqi refugees and require that the FBI, Homeland Security Department and the director of National Intelligence certify that each refugee is not a security threat. The bill’s requirements would effectively suspend admissions of Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Republicans pointed to the arrest this month of two Iraqi refugees with suspected links to terrorism as one more example of the flawed vetting system. Over the past few months, voters’ concerns about terrorism have surged and their confidence in the government’s ability to defeat IS and other extremist groups has plummeted, according to a national survey conducted in
December by the Pew Research Center. “I think there’s a sense we need to do everything we can to demonstrate we take seriously the responsibility to protect the country,” Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, a member of the GOP leadership, said last week at a party retreat in Baltimore. —A PROMISE TO VETO The White House said Obama would veto the House bill. The legislation “would provide no meaningful additional security for the American people,” it said in a Nov. 18 statement. Refugees of all nationalities, including Syrians and Iraqis, already face a demanding screening process, and the legislation “would unacceptably hamper our efforts to assist some of the most vulnerable people in the world,” the statement said. The White
House said more than 2,100 Syrian refugees have been admitted to the United States since 2001 and not one has been arrested or deported on terrorismrelated grounds. —‘DON’T WORRY, IT WON’T GET PASSED’ After the House passed the bill Nov. 19, Reid predicted it would die in the Senate. “Don’t worry, it won’t get passed,” Reid told reporters. A final decision on how the Democrats will proceed is expected on Wednesday at their weekly caucus meeting. Without support from Democrats, the math doesn’t work for McConnell. He needs a half-dozen Democrats to pass a motion to proceed and eventually allow a vote on the legislation. Thirteen more Democrats would be needed to reach a veto-proof
tally. Despite Reid’s optimism, the House vote demonstrated that opposing the legislation can be dicey for Democrats facing tight 2016 elections. Before the House vote, White House aides went to the Capitol to win over Democrats. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., told them, in a forceful exchange, that voting “no” could hurt Democrats at the polls. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said other steps should include addressing illegal immigration more broadly and barring the sale of guns to people on federal terrorism watch lists — a move the Senate recently rejected. —Online: Summary of House bill: http://tinyurl.com/h349uw6 White House veto threat: http://tinyurl.com/ogoqn62
Obama proposes new unemployment plan

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Saturday proposed changes to the U.S. unemployment insurance system that he says would offer more security to the jobless and encourage experienced workers to rejoin the workforce, even if it means taking a pay cut. “We shouldn’t just be talking about unemployment; we should be talking about reemployment,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. The president’s proposal would require states to provide wage insurance to workers who
lose their jobs and find new employment at lower pay. The insurance would replace half of the lost income, up to $10,000 over two years. It would be available to workers who were with their prior employer for three years and make less than $50,000 in their new job. The proposal also would require states to make unemployment insurance available to many part-time and low-income workers, and it would mandate that states provide at least 26 weeks of unemployment insurance. Nine states fall short of the benchmark, the White House said.
The proposal comes as U.S. businesses, outside the manufacturing sector, are experiencing strong demand and adding employees. A recent government employment report showed that employers added a net 292,000 jobs in December as the unemployment rate held at 5 percent. Obama has begun claiming some credit for this progress, hoping to push back against Republican presidential candidates he says are talking down the economy. But the White House also has acknowledged the many jobs added since the recovery are lower paying, and
many Americans continue to see no wage growth. Obama said Saturday he believed his proposal would provide some stability for workers willing to switch careers and begin working their way up the ladder in a new field. Experienced workers on average see a pay cut of 10 percent when they lose their jobs. Workers with more than 20 years on the job see an average 25 percent pay cut, according to the White House. Obama’s proposal will be included in the budget proposal he’s set to send to Congress next month.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The latest in a series of U.S.-European satellites designed to detect and measure ocean phenomena like El Nino is scheduled for launch this weekend aboard a SpaceX rocket that will attempt to land its discarded first stage on a floating barge. If the launch is successful, the Jason-3 satellite would continue an unbroken record of more than two decades of sea level measurements from orbit. Liftoff from Vandenberg Air Force Base, northwest of Los Angeles, was planned for a 30-second window at 10:42 a.m. PST Sunday, with a
backup opportunity on Monday. Air Force meteorologists predicted 100 percent favorable weather for the launch, NASA said. As the current El Nino in the eastern Pacific has strengthened, Jason-3 has been stuck on the ground. Jason-3’s launch was originally scheduled for August 2015 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. However, the launch was postponed after a different Falcon 9 rocket failed during a supply mission to the International Space Station in June. After correcting the problem, a successful launch last month restored
Falcon 9s to flight status. Like its three predecessors, Jason-3 is equipped with radar altimeter to bounce microwave energy off the ocean and a GPS system to identify the satellite’s precise location. Timing of how long it takes the signal to return indicates sea level height, which rises or falls depending on the temperature of the water. The data collected can detect the weather-altering El Nino condition and its opposite, La Nina, and are most familiar to the public in images of the Pacific Ocean that use colors to illustrate variations in heat. Other pragmatic
uses include measuring global sea level rise, and forecasting the strength of hurricanes, other severe weather and ocean conditions for the shipping industry and in response to oil spills. “Jason allows us to get the big picture in terms of sea-level change in the years to come,” said Laury Miller, Jason-3 program scientist. Jason-3 is a project of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, the French space agency Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, and the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites. It was built by Thales Alenia of France. Jason-3 will ultimately replace Jason-2, which has been in orbit since mid-2008 and has been tracking the current El Nino that experts say has tied the 1997-98 version as the strongest recorded and is expected to last through the winter before weakening in spring. Despite being in its eighth year and only designed to last five, Jason-2 “is still in great shape,” Jason-3 project scientist Josh Willis said. After being used to help calibrate the new satellite, Jason-2 will be moved to an orbit to study the shape of the sea floor. The series of spacecraft began with Topex-Poseidon, which operated from 1992 to 2006. Topex, short for ocean surface topography experiment, revolutionized understanding of the role of ocean temperature on climate. Its successor, Jason-1, operated from 2001 until it was decommissioned in 2013. Mission scientists emphasized at a prelaunch briefing that it is important to maintain an unbroken record of global sea level variation. SpaceX will use the Jason-3 launch to again try to land a Falcon 9 first stage on an oceangoing barge, with the second stage and satellite continuing toward orbit. The Hawthorne, California, company hopes to reduce launch costs by reusing rockets rather than having them fall into the ocean. Two previous attempts to land a rocket on a barge in the Atlantic failed, but last month SpaceX succeeded in returning a rocket to a vertical landing at Cape Canaveral, Florida, after putting a cluster of satellites into orbit. Hans Koenigsmann, vice president of mission assurance for Space-X, said the current rocket would have been able to return to land but the company does not have environmental approval at Vandenberg yet. Meteorologists predict swells of 10- to 13-feet where the barge will be waiting for the rocket landing attempt. “The sea state is good for surfing and a little high for landing but we don’t anticipate that that’s going to be a major problem,” said Koenigsmann. “I’m really hopeful. We had a really good landing last time.”
Pregnant women told Launch set for ocean-monitoring satellite to avoid countries with Zika outbreaks NEW YORK (AP) — Pregnant women should avoid traveling to Latin America and Caribbean countries that have outbreaks of a tropical illness linked to birth defects, health officials said Friday. The illness is caused by the Zika virus which is spread through mosquito bites. It causes only a mild illness in most people. But it’s been spreading around the world, and there’s mounting evidence linking it to a terrible birth defect, especially in Brazil. Late Friday, U.S. health officials said pregnant women should consider postponing trips to 14 destinations — Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Suriname and Venezuela. They also advised women who are trying to get pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant to talk to their doctor before traveling to those areas, and to take extra precautions to avoid mosquito bites. WHAT IS ZIKA? Zika (ZEE’-ka) is the name of a virus discovered in a monkey in the Zika forest of Uganda in 1947. It is native to tropical Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. But infections have exploded recently in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is spread through bites from the same kind of mosquitoes that can spread other tropical diseases, like chikungunya and dengue fever. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? Experts think that only about 1 in 5 people who are infected with the Zika virus develop any symptoms. For those that do, Zika illness usually involves fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes — which usually last no more than a week. There is no medicine or vaccine for it. Hospitalizations are rare, and deaths from Zika have not been reported. WHY IS IT A CONCERN NOW? Two reasons. First, there’s been growing evidence linking Zika infection in pregnant women to a rare condition called microcephaly, in which the head is smaller than normal and the brain has not developed properly. U.S. health officials are heading to Brazil, where there’s been a recent spike in the birth defect, to further study the actual risk to pregnant
women. More than 3,500 cases have been reported in Brazil since October. Second, the threat seems to be moving closer. Infections are occurring in our southern neighbor, Mexico, and the kind of mosquitoes that can carry the virus are found along the southern United States, too. Experts think it’s likely the pests may end up spreading the virus here, though probably on a smaller scale than what’s been seen in the tropics. HAVE THERE BEEN CASES IN THE U.S.? At least 26 Americans have been diagnosed with Zika since 2007, all of them travelers who are believed to have caught it overseas. In addition, a person in Puerto Rico who had not traveled was diagnosed with the illness last month. WHAT’S THE ADVICE? Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Protection advised U.S. travelers to take protect themselves against mosquito bites if they visit places in Latin America or the Caribbean where Zika has been spreading. The advice includes wearing long sleeves and long pants and using insect repellent. On Friday, the CDC came out with an alert asking pregnant women — at any stage of pregnancy — to postpone travel to 14 destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean. In Brazil, most of the mothers who had babies with the condition — called microcephaly — were apparently infected during the first trimester, but there is some evidence the birth defect can occur later in the pregnancy, said the CDC’s Dr. Cynthia Moore. Another CDC official, Dr. Lyle Petersen, said the virus seems to remain in the blood only about a week or two. Why hasn’t a link between Zika and the birth defect been noted earlier? Previous outbreaks were much smaller, and the problem may have occurred less often — and so was harder to recognize, he said. There’s another travel alert for pregnant women already in place, discouraging travel to areas where malaria is spreading. —Online: CDC travel warnings page: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices

Many questions are remaining elusive in California terror attack LOS ANGELES (AP) — Six weeks after the San Bernardino terror attack, the man leading the investigation said Friday that some of the most basic questions remain the most elusive to answer — was anyone else involved, was more violence planned, and why was the attack site chosen? David Bowdich, chief of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, told The Associated Press that of all the unanswered questions, the one he most wants answered is whether the husband-andwife killers had accomplices. “We’re interested in anyone who we find had anything to do with this, anyone who turned their head, anyone who participated in any form or fashion in this,” Bowdich said in an interview in his office near Beverly Hills. “We are not looking past any-
one at this point,” he said. “We have a very open mind on this investigation.” Another major question is why the shooters, Syed Faroook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, chose an annual training of his co-workers for their attack, as opposed to a place with more targets, such as a mall or movie theater. “Why that venue, why that day?” Bowdich said. “What was their intent following that? They had 19 pipes inside that garage.” Although Bowdich said if Farook and Malik truly had another target, why wouldn’t they have acted in the four hours that passed between the attack and their fatal shootout with police. “We hope to answer that one day,” he said. Investigators also are contin-
uing to try to fill an 18-minute gap in the whereabouts of the husband-and-wife killers following the attack. The agency has gotten a number of tips about the gap, though Bowdich declined to elaborate. Federal authorities have said Farook, a restaurant inspector, and his wife, who came to the U.S. from Pakistan in July 2014 so she could marry him, were radicalized Muslims long before the attack but never drew the attention of law enforcement. They amassed ammunition and explosives at their home, and on Dec. 2 donned black commando outfits and face masks and launched their attack. Immediately afterward a post on a Facebook page associated with Malik said the couple pledged allegiance to the leader of Islamic State, according to federal authorities.

Actor, Calif. lawmaker fight bogus memorabilia LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill has seen it time and time again: “Star Wars” fans with movie posters and other memorabilia that they believe were signed by him. The autograph often turns out to be bogus. Weary of seeing fans victimized by unscrupulous dealers, Hamill has teamed up with California Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang to extend protections that apply to sports memorabilia to all signed collectibles sold by dealers in the state. “The public is being swindled on a daily basis and the numbers are huge. I just can’t keep quiet when I see people I love being hurt,” Hamill told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday (http://lat.ms/1ZseTqL). Under a pending bill, the Diamond Bar Republican would require certificates of authenticity for signed memorabilia sold by dealers, and entitle duped consumers to as much as 10 times the cost of a forged item in civil court. State law already offers those remedies for signed sports memorabilia. Hamill said it makes no sense that film fans don’t get the same protections as sports fans from faked autographs. In 1999, the FBI’s San Diego office led a massive investigation of forgery rings, which culminated in the arrest of a half-dozen forgers and the seizure of merchandise valued at millions of dollars, including a baseball supposedly signed by Mother Teresa and the autographs of George Washington, Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy. “In a way, it seems futile to try and counter what is clearly a very lucrative market,” Hamill told the newspaper. “But we can’t let them get away with it.”
East Nashville unites to save one-eyed dog NASHVILLE (AP) — It took two months to catch him. Speedy the one-eyed dog had wandered the corner of East Nashville beyond the Korean Veterans bridge, alone after his homeless human companion was arrested. Several pounds of beef and chicken, at least five ploys and one professional tracker later, he was captured, safe from the dangers of the streets and the weather. “He’s been a gentle giant,” said Erica Silverboard, who took charge of the lengthy project. A manager of the East Nashville lost and found pet Facebook page, Silverboard and the animal rescue East C.A.N. began to receive floods of notifications in early November, concerned about the large, yellow mutt. Nashvillians had seen Speedy chased, kicked and even hit by a car. That’s when Silverboard, Big Fluffy Dog representatives and several other community members began the mission to save Speedy. But it wasn’t easy. Or quick. “He just seemed too smart,” said Callie Jennings, an East C.A.N. board member who now fosters Speedy. “Even if he had an owner, his reaction to us was ‘I don’t need you.’ “ They studied Speedy’s eating and sleep habits, and set up food stations, a motion camera and even a designated email address for sightings. They left food for him daily, as did employees of PSC Metals, the site of his main food station. They tried a kennel-like trap, net guns, luring with female dogs and even fencing him in — but he escaped. When all else failed, Big Fluffy Dog reached out to Jordina Thorp, a professional dog tracker from Ohio. It took a 4-by-8-foot crate housing food, a rope tied to the gate and staking out for 12 hours to get him. “He finally calmed down and after about 15 minutes, we got two leashes and a collar on him,” Silverboard said, “just like we cannot let him escape.” Now, Speedy is neutered, the gap of his missing eye is sewn shut, and he is taking medicine for heartworms. But Jennings faces a new challenge — getting him accustomed to living indoors and “being a dog.”

U.S., EU lift sanctions against Iran amid landmark nuke deal
Kevin lamarque/Pool via AP
u.s. secretAry oF stAte John Kerry talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, right, after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verified that Iran has met all conditions under the nuclear deal, in Vienna, Saturday.
Iran releases four Americans in breakthrough prisoner exchange VIENNA (AP) — Four Americans detained in Iran will be coming home and seven Iranians in U.S. custody also will win their freedom in a breakthrough swap negotiated by the longtime foes, officials in both countries said. As well, a fifth American was freed separately. The news emerged as a landmark deal took effect Saturday relieving sanctions on Iran in return for its progress in pulling back its nuclear program. Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, pastor Saeed Abedini and Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, whose name had not been previously made public, were freed from custody in Iran and were to be flown to Switzerland, U.S. officials said. U.S. student Matthew Trevithick was released independently of the exchange on Saturday and already was on his way home. In turn, the U.S. will pardon or drop charges against seven Iranians — six of whom are dual U.S.-Iranian citizens — accused or convicted of violating U.S. sanctions. Three were serving prison terms and now have received a commutation or pardon. Three others were awaiting trial; the last one made a plea agreement. It’s unclear if they will leave the U.S. for Iran. They are free to stay in the United States. In addition, the U.S. will drop Interpol “red notices” — essentially arrest warrants — on 14 Iranian fugitives it has sought, officials said. The announcement of the exchange came shortly before Iran was certified as having met all commitments under the nuclear deal with six world powers. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and other officials involved in the accord met in Vienna as the diplomatic achievement unfolded. The release of the prisoners and the nuclear deal developments capped weeks of intense U.S.-Iran diplomacy that took several unexpected turns after an Iranian ballistic missile test in October and then the detention on Jan. 12 by Iran of 10 U.S. Navy sailors and their two boats in the Persian Gulf. The four Americans released in Iran under the negotiated prisoner exchange were still in that country early Sunday as arrangements progressed to get them out, a senior Obama administration official said. Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, the official said efforts were underway to get the four together and on a plane out of Tehran. Kerry said the Americans had been released from Iranian custody. Frederick J. Ryan, Jr., publisher of The Washington Post, said in a statement, “We couldn’t be happier to hear the news that Jason Rezaian has been released from Evin Prison. Once we receive more details and can confirm Jason has safely left Iran, we will have more to share.” Hekmati’s family released a statement saying: “We thank everyone for your thoughts during this time. There are still

At this point, we are hoping and praying for Amir’s long-awaited return.” Trevithick’s parents said he was freed after 40 days at a prison in Tehran. They did not say why Iran detained him. Trevithick, who is from Hingham, Massachusetts, cofounded a research center based in Turkey that assesses the humanitarian crisis in the area and traveled to Iran in September for a four-month language program. Negotiations over detainees grew out of the Iran nuclear talks. In discussions in Europe and elsewhere, Kerry and nuclear negotiator Wendy Sherman were able to establish a separate channel of talks that would focus on the U.S. citizens. American officials didn’t want the citizens used as leverage in the nuclear talks, and didn’t want to lose their possible release if the talks failed to produce an agreement. The discussions then gained speed after last July’s nuclear deal. In talks in Geneva and elsewhere, a team led by Obama’s anti-Islamic State group envoy, Brett McGurk, worked on the details of a possible prisoner swap. The Iranians originally sought 19 people as part of the exchange; U.S. officials whittled down the number to seven. Among American politicians, Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and House Speaker Paul Ryan gave cautious praise to the release of the prisoners, particularly Abedini, but said they never should have been held in the first place. Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders praised diplomacy as the key to solving the detainee issue. Hillary Clinton also welcomed the developments while saying Iran should not be thanked because it should never have detained the Americans. Robert Levinson, who disappeared in Iran in 2007 while working for the CIA on an unapproved intelligence mission, wasn’t part of the deal. American officials are unsure if the former FBI agent is even still alive. The Iranians have always denied knowing his location. Levinson’s case was aggres-

VIENNA (AP) — The U.N. nuclear agency certified Saturday that Iran has met all of its commitments under last summer’s landmark nuclear deal, crowning years of U.S.-led efforts to crimp Iran’s ability to make atomic weapons. For Iran, the move lifts Western economic sanctions that have been in place for years, unlocking access to $100 billion in frozen assets and unleashing new opportunities for its battered economy. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the top diplomats of Iran and the European Union hailed the accord, reached after years of setbacks and a full decade after the start of international diplomacy aimed at reducing the possibility that Tehran could turn its nuclear programs to weapons making. “Today marks the first day of a safer world,” Kerry declared in Vienna. “This evening, we are really reminded once again of diplomacy’s power to tackle significant challenges.” Additionally, Kerry linked the trust built between Iran and the United States over the past two years of talks to the release by Iran Saturday of four Americans who also hold Iranian nationality. “Thanks to years of hard work and committed dialogue,” he said, “we have made vital breakthroughs related to both the nuclear negotiations and a separate long-term diplomatic effort” that led to the freeing of the Americans. EU Foreign Policy chief Federica Mogherini — in a statement also read in Farsi by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif — said the accord “demonstrates that with political will, perseverance, and through multilateral diplomacy, we can solve the most difficult issues and find practical solutions that are effectively implemented.” In Washington, U.S. President Barack Obama signed executive orders lifting economic sanctions on Iran, while Kerry confirmed that the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency could verify that “Iran has fully implemented its required commitments.” The July 14 deal, struck after decades of hostility, defused the likelihood of U.S. or Israeli military action against Iran while creating an opening for future cooperation on calming the tumultuous Middle East. But proof that it had been fully implemented had been lacking until Saturday. For Tehran, the report translates into a huge financial windfall while also helping its efforts at international image rehabilitation. Beyond sanctions lifting and the unlocking of frozen assets, certification by the IAEA opens the path to new oil, trade and financial opportunities that could prove far more valuable for Tehran in the long run. Not even waiting for the IAEA
report, Iranian Transport Minister Abbas Akhondi said his country had reached a deal with the European consortium Airbus to buy 114 passenger planes once the sanctions are lifted. As diplomatic maneuvering on the nuclear issue dragged into the night, another source of U.S.Iranian tension moved toward resolution with officials of both nations announcing the prisoner releases. The four Americans imprisoned in Iran were exchanged for seven Iranians held or charged in the United States. U.S. officials said the four — Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, pastor Saeed Abedini and Nosratollah KhosraviRoodsari — were to be flown from Iran to Switzerland on a Swiss plane and then brought to a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, for medical treatment. In return, the U.S. will either pardon or drop charges against seven Iranians — six of them dual citizens — accused or convicted of violating U.S. sanctions. The U.S. will also drop Interpol “red notices” — essentially arrest warrants — on a handful of sought Iranian fugitives. Rezaian is a dual Iran-U.S. citizen convicted of espionage by Iran in a closed-door trial in 2015. The Post and the U.S. government have denied the accusations, as has Rezaian. He had been held more than 543 days. U.S. officials said a fifth American detained in Iran, a student, has been released in a move unrelated to the prisoner swap. They said the student, identified as Matthew Trevithick, was already on his way home. Among the sanctions lifted will be those imposed between 2006 and 2010 by the U.N. Security Council as it attempted to pressure the Islamic Republic to curb uranium enrichment and other activities that could also be used for nuclear weapons. Iran sees that move and the recent closure of a decade-long investigation of whether it worked on such weapons as a formal end to the allegations against it. But the deal is also a boon for the White House. U.S. President Barack Obama’s greatest foreign policy triumph, it has turned tensions into a first step toward cooperation with Iran, a major regional power instrumental for ending the Syrian conflict and other Middle East crises. The July 14 deal with six world powers puts Iran’s various nuclear activities under IAEA watch for up to 15 years, with an option to re-impose sanctions should Tehran break its commitments. It aims to increase the time Iran would need to make enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon from several months to a year, primarily by capping Tehran’s ability to enrich urani-
um, which can create material ranging from reactor fuel to warhead material. Under the deal, Iran committed to reduce its operating centrifuges enriching uranium by two-thirds, to just over 5,000 machines. The IAEA report, obtained by The Associated Press, ticked off that commitment and others as met. With news of the deal’s implementation breaking long after midnight in Tehran, there was no repeat of the boisterous street celebrations that met agreement in July on the accord. But social media networking sites were abuzz. “Hello to life without sanctions,” said one message. Another praised both Zarif and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whose taking office in 2013 led to the start of serious negotiations after years of essential deadlock. “Thank you Rouhani,” one said. “Thank you Zarif.” Since the world’s attention focused on Iran’s nuclear program more than a decade ago with revelations of its secret uranium enrichment program, Tehran has insisted that it was working only to power a future network of reactors and on medical and scientific research. Iran denied any work or interest in nuclear arms even after the IAEA closed a prolonged probe with a November assessment that Tehran had an organized research and development program into such weapons up to 2003 and more scattered research and development activities up to 2009. Still, it had little choice but to negotiate an end to the conflict after years of seeing as its revenues from oil sales — its chief income — dry up due to increasing U.S., European Union and other sanctions. But the talks turned serious only after the pragmatic Rouhani took office in 2013. For years, Washington had refused to even sit at the same table with Iran, joining the nuclear talks only in 2008, five years after the first international attempts to negotiate a deal. By the fall of 2013, however, Kerry had met with his Iranian counterpart and Obama had called Rouhani in what was the first direct communication between a U.S. and Iranian president since the 1979 Islamic revolution led to the U.S. Embassy hostage taking and a diplomatic freeze. The public goodwill quickly faded, however, and the realities of negotiating a mutually acceptable deal sank in. Deadlines were repeatedly extended by months. The bickering went on to the very end, with the July 14 agreement emerging only after a series of white-knuckle late and overnight sessions, punctuated by threats from both sides to walk away from the table.

The exchange also didn’t cover Siamak Namazi, an Iranian-American businessman who advocated better ties between Iran and the U.S. He was thought to have been arrested in October.

INTERNATIONAL BRIEFS Taiwan elects 1st female president, rejects pro-China party
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan elected Tsai Ing-wen as its first female president Saturday, handing her pro-independence party its first majority in the national legislature and rejecting the Chinafriendly party that has led the selfgoverning island for eight years. The result should be deeply unsettling to China, which may respond by further reducing Taipei’s already limited ability to win diplomatic allies and participate in international organizations. In a statement issued after Tsai’s win, the Chinese Cabinet’s body for handling Taiwan affairs reaffirmed its opposition to Taiwan independence, but said it would work to maintain peace and stability between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. “Our will is as strong as a rock, our attitude unswerving on the principal matter of safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the Taiwan Affairs Office said. Voters concerned that Taiwan’s economy is under threat from China and broadly opposed to Beijing’s demands for political unification resoundingly chose Tsai over the Nationalists’ Eric Chu, a late replacement for his party’s original candidate who was seen as alienating voters. Tsai said her victory was a further show of Taiwan’s ingrained democracy and its people wish for a government “steadfast in protecting this nation’s sovereignty.” She too pledged to maintain the status quo with China. She said both sides have a responsibility to find a mutually acceptable means of interacting, while adding that Taiwan’s international space must be respected.
Toddler said poisoned by necklace during Caribbean cruise
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A Louisiana woman says her 2year-old daughter is recovering from a near-fatal poisoning from a necklace bead while she was on a Caribbean cruise. Twenty-nine-year-old Samantha Gandy says her daughter Audrey apparently swallowed beads from a necklace her grandmother had received during a previous cruise from a vendor at the dock in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The Monroe, Louisiana, woman says the girl was drooling and burning with fever and was rushed to a hospital when the ship arrived Thursday in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She says tests confirmed the child had been poisoned by a crab’s eye necklace.
Switzerland: 2 foreigners killed in Alps avalanche
GENEVA (AP) — Swiss police say two foreigners have been killed in an avalanche while they were skiing off-piste in the Alps. Police in Valais canton (state) say the avalanche hit a group of four men near La Tzoumaz in southwestern Switzerland on Saturday afternoon. Several helicopters were dispatched to the scene. Two of the men were unharmed but rescue workers found the other two dead. Police said the men were foreigners but didn’t specify where they came from.
Activists: IS kills at least 135 in eastern Syria
BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State militants on Saturday killed dozens of people, most of them pro-government militiamen, in wide-scale attacks on government-held areas of the eastern city of Deir el-Zour, opposition activists said. The opposition activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 135 people were killed, at least 80 of them soldiers and pro-government militiamen and the rest civilians, in the attacks which saw the group make significant advances in the contested city. The Islamic State group controls most of the province and provincial capital with the same name, while the government controls a few neighborhoods in the northern part of the city and the adjacent military airport. Most of the casualties took place in the area of Baghaliyeh near the northern tip of the city. The state news agency SANA said IS militants committed “a massacre,” killing dozens of civilians in Baghaliyeh village. It did not elaborate. The Lebanonbased Al-Mayadeen TV, which is close to the Syrian government, also reported a massacre and said IS killed 280 people, including women and children, and threw their bodies in the Euphrates River. It said the group took more than 400 civilians hostage. The reports could not be inde-
pendently confirmed. The IS-affiliated Aamaq news agency had reported a large-scale multi-pronged attack on Deir elZour that began with a suicide bombing. Opposition activists said Russian warplanes were carrying out intensive airstrikes in support of government forces in the area.
Poland’s defense chief: We want constant NATO, U.S. presence
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s defense minister says his country wants to have permanent NATO and U.S. troops’ presence to ward off security threats. Poland’s security concerns have been raised by the armed conflict in neighboring Ukraine and by the role that another neighbor, Russia, has in it. Minister Antoni Macierewicz said Saturday the goal of Poland’s new conservative government is to have a “lasting presence of NATO and American troops and a permanent air defense.” Standing alongside U.S. Ambassador Paul W. Jones, Macierewicz said talks are underway concerning the U.S. Patriot system. Macierewicz spoke following a Polish-U.S. missile defense exercise at a test range in Skwierzyna in western Poland. Poland hopes a NATO summit it is hosting in July will bring assurances of permanent NATO troops’ presence on its territory.
Sudanese official says 14 killed in Darfur protest
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — A senior Sudanese security official said 14 people were killed during last week’s protests in Western Darfur, but denied that police were responsible. In remarks published by the pro-government Al-Sudani daily on Saturday, Police Chief Atif Fadul said 13 civilians and six policemen were wounded in the protests, which took place in front of and inside the governor’s office on Jan. 10. Those figures are the first official toll to emerge from the unrest. The African Union has expressed concern over “continued tension” in and around the town of Genaina in Western Darfur after residents of Mouli, near the border with Chad, staged a demonstration against an assault by a militia group on their village. The militia’s affiliation is not clear. Fadul said police showed restraint. Sudanese security forces have violently dispersed protests in the past. Darfur was gripped by bloodshed since 2003 when rebels took up arms against the government in Khartoum, accusing it of discrimination and neglect. Some 300,000 people were killed and 2 million displaced during the government’s harsh response to the armed rebellion.
Indonesian police arrest 12 after Jakarta attack
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian police said Saturday they have arrested 12 people suspected of links to the Jakarta bombings. The audacious attacks by suicide bombers and gunmen on Thursday that targeted a Starbucks and traffic police post in bustling central Jakarta killed seven people, including two civilians. More than 20 people were injured. It was the first major assault by militants in Indonesia since 2009 and police said the attackers were tied to the Islamic State group through Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian fighting with IS in Syria. National police chief Gen. Badrodin Haiti told reporters that arrests were made in west and east Java and in Kalimantan. Elaborating on an earlier claim that the militants received funding from Bahrun, he said police have determined money was transferred to Indonesia via Western Union. “One of those arrested had received money transferred from ISIS,” Badrodin said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group. Separately, authorities say they have blocked more than a dozen websites expressing support for Thursday’s attack as they try to counter radical Islamic ideology online. Communications Ministry spokesman Ismail Cawidu urged Indonesians to report militant websites and social media accounts.
Japan, U.S., S. Korea to work for strong warning to N. Korea

Burkina Faso hotel seizure ends; 28 dead OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — The Al-Qaida fighters who stormed a popular hangout in Burkina Faso’s capital at dinnertime came with a mission to kill as many people as possible, firing at people as they moved to a nearby hotel and setting the cafe ablaze, survivors and officials said Saturday. When the gunfire stopped after a more than 12-hour siege, at least 28 people had been slain in an unprecedented attack on this West African country long spared the jihadist violence experienced by its neighbors. Like the extremist attacks from Paris to Jakarta, the assailants in the Friday evening attack targeted an area where people from different nationalities gathered to enjoy life. Here in Ouagadougou, the victims had been grabbing a cold drink outside or staying at one of the capital’s few upscale hotels. In this city with a large aid worker presence, the attackers sought to shoot as many non-Muslims as possible, screaming Allahu akhbar (Arabic for God is great) as AP Photo they entered.

The overnight seizure of a luxury hotel in Burkina Faso’s capital by al-Qaidathe al-Qaida group claiming linked extremists ended Saturday when Burkina Faso and French security forces killed four jihadist responsibility for the carnage was attackers and freed more than 126 people, the West African nation’s president said. entitled: “A Message Signed with Blood and Body Parts.” Among the victims from 18 different countries were the wife and 5-year-old daughter of the Italian man who owns the Cappuccino Cafe, where at least 10 people died in a hail of gunfire and smoke after the attackers set the building ablaze before moving on to the Splendid Hotel nearby. Some survivors cowered for hours on the roof or hid in the restaurant’s bathroom to stay alive. Two French and two Swiss citizens were confirmed among the dead late Saturday by the two countries’ foreign ministries. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement Saturday that six of the dead were Canadians. Authorities said the four known attackers — all killed by security forces — had come in a vehicle with plates from neighboring Niger. At least two of them were women and one was of African descent. Witnesses said they wore the turbans often worn in the sand-swept countryside of the Sahel, and some spoke in French with an Arabic accent, suggesting some may have come from further north in Africa. “I heard the gunfire and I saw a light by my window and I thought it was fireworks at first,” said Rachid Faouzi Ouedraogo, a 22year-old accounting student who lives near the scene of the carnage. “I raced downstairs and once outside I saw people running through the street and four people firing on the people at Cappuccino.” Burkinabe forces backed by French soldiers based in neighboring Mali managed to help free at least 126 hostages though offiDignified Services at Realistic Prices! cials have said the true number of those held hostage may be higher. 2415 Georgetown Road, NE cookeshometowngrocer.com Dozens were wounded in the or find us on facebook 473-2620 overnight siege, including many suffering gunshot wounds. “We appeal to the people to be vigilant and brave because we must fight on,” President Roch Marc Christian Kabore said on national radio Saturday. The North Africa branch of alQaida, founded in Algeria, claimed responsibility for the bloodbath even as it was unfolding in a series of statements published and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group. The al-Qaida affiliate known as AQIM — now working in tandem with feared extremist Moktar Belmoktar — later released an audio clip it said was a conversation with one of the fighters later slain in Ouagadougou. The message said the attack was directed at “the occupiers of our lands, the looters of our wealth, and the abusers of our security,” according to SITE and sought to punish them “for their crimes against our people in Central Africa, Mali, and other lands of the Muslims, and to avenge our prophet.” Burkina Faso is a largely Muslim country though it is home to a number of French nationals as a former colony of France. Islamic extremists in the region have long targeted French interests, incensed by France’s military footprint on the continent more than a half century after independence. France led the military effort in 2013 to oust extremists from their seats of power in northern Mali, and continue to carry out counterterrorism activities across the Sahel region. French special forces were also front and center early Saturday, as police and military forces fought to take back the Splendid Hotel. After freeing the hostages there, forces then scoured other buildings including the Hotel Yibi where they killed the fourth attacker, the president later said.

Patriots bound for 5th straight AFC title game FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady took off for the end zone and dived for the pylon, taking a helmet in the back as his body sailed over the goal line. The ball stayed out, but it didn’t matter. The reigning Super Bowl MVP carried it in for a score on the next play, reaching over the line to convert in a way Kansas City couldn’t Saturday. Brady threw for two touchdowns to Rob Gronkowski and sneaked for another, and the defending Super Bowl champions reached their fifth straight AFC title game with a 27-20 victory over the Chiefs. New England (13-4) will meet the winner of Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos for a spot in Super Bowl 50. The Patriots are trying to become the first team to win back-to-back NFL titles since they did it in 2003-04. “Sounds pretty good,” Gronkowski said. “I’m just going
to prepare hard this week. See who we’re playing after tonight’s game and just do what we have to do next week to get ready for the game.” After spending the last two weeks recovering from knee and back injuries, Gronkowski caught seven passes for 83 yards, including touchdowns from 8 and 16 yards out. Gronkowski also recovered an onside kick after Kansas City cut the deficit to 27-20 with just over one minute left. Julian Edelman returned from a broken foot to catch 10 passes for 100 yards for New England. “It’s just great to have those guys back,” Gronkowski said of wide receivers Edelman and Danny Amendola, who had a quiet game. “They’re hard workers, they’re great players. The chemistry was clicking tonight.” Alex Smith completed 29 of 50 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown for Kansas City (12-6). The Chiefs had won 11 consecu-
tive games, including a 30-0 victory over Houston in the wild-card round last week for their first playoff victory since 1993. Brady led New England to a score on the opening drive, throwing 11 straight passes and completing eight — the last an 8-yard score to Gronkowski. The Chiefs then made it to the Patriots 16, but settled for a field goal. After trading punts twice, the Patriots started on their when punt returner Danny Amendola was flagged for a helmet-first hit to coverage man Jamell Fleming. The drive was in danger of stalling at the Kansas City 35 when Chiefs linebacker Dezman Moses hit Brady late and was called for roughing the passer.

BRADLEY CENTRAL’S Trevon Ware kisses the Border Bowl trophy after he helped lead the Tennessee All-Stars to a win in the 2016 National Guard Border Bowl, which took place in Williamsburg, Ky., on Saturday.
Trevon Ware participates in TN-KY Border Bowl By TYLER WICKMAN Banner Sports Writer
Only one player from the area schools was selected to make an appearance in the 2016 Kentucky-Tennessee National Guard Border Bowl that took place on Saturday at the University of the Cumberlands. That special invitee was Trevon Ware of Bradley Central, who is known around the state for being a top-notch cornerback.
Ware was an integral part of the Black-and-Gold’s success this season as they reached seven wins for the first time since 2011. Their run was cut short when they faced Riverdale on Nov. 5 in what ended up being a heartbreaking 38-34 loss in the first round of the playoffs. “Trevon is one of the hardest workers we have ever had. He has been very coachable and obviously very successSee WARE, Page 25
East Hamilton paid Walker Valley a visit on Friday night, but the Green-and-Black were only able to go 1-of-2 at “The Stable.” The Lady Mustangs lost 45-33 in the girls’ game, but it was a different story in the boys’ matchup as the Mustangs blew out the Hurricanes, 69-51. Lipscomb signee Kenny Bunton led all teams with 22 points as he went 10-of-12 from the line. “I just want to thank God for being out here first, but our coaches have been talking to us a lot about not settling for 3s as much as we usually do, so we’ve done a lot better in getting to the hole, and I think that is what helps us shoot a lot of free throws,” Bunton explained. Everything went well for Mustangs from the minute they tipped off to the last second when the final buzzer sounded. They finished the first quarter only up by six, but they really turned up the heat offensively in the second period and took a 3321 lead into halftime. Josh Jones had 12 points at halftime, and by the end of the game the senior tallied 19 points. Walker Valley held the Hurricanes to only 11 in the third period, while the Blue-and-Gold ran up the scoreboard by posting a whopping 24 points. During their run in the third, Kolten Gibson contributed seven points with one coming from behind the arc. Bunton rounded out the period by hitting a buzzer-beater fadeaway from the left side of the baseline to put the ‘Stangs up 5732 heading into the final period. After being up 28 points early in the fourth, Walker Valley head coach Bob Williams pulled his starters in an attempt to lessen the beatdown with 4:51 remaining. When it was all said and done,

WALKER VALLEY head coach Bob Williams runs over the game plan with his team on Friday night against East Hamilton. the Mustangs pulled off the huge district win to put them at 4-2 in 5-AAA competition. Williams thought the third quarter was the difference maker in the ballgame, but in his postgame comments he reiterated just how well they played defense and said he knows that it needs to continue in order to make a postseason run. “Our thing was that after Christmas we were going to try and pick up the intensity on the defensive end, because before Christmas we weren’t playing very good defense, and I thought we did a good job (tonight), especially in the third quarter,” he stated. Walker Valley still has four remaining district games, with their next game being at Cleveland on Tuesday night. “It was a great game the first time, but I expect the same great
competitive game night),” said Williams.

Lady Mustangs 34, Lady Hurricanes 45
The Lady Mustangs had a big hill to climb on Friday night after being down by nine at halftime, but once they got within two points late in third, they slipped and fell right back to the bottom and dropped the contest 45-33. The win by the Lady Hurricanes gives them their 11th straight win, which was made possible by eighth-grade phenom Madison Hayes. It was another slow start for Walker Valley, as they only scored five points in the first period, which has been the case a few times this season. Luckily, East Hamilton was right there with them due to how it only tallied nine. Shots continued not to fall, and
turnovers seemed to plague the Lady ‘Stangs again in the second stanza, but fortunately they only trailed by single digits at the half. Kat Alomar was the leading scorer with three points after two periods of play, but she wouldn’t score again until she hit a free throw in the final minutes of play. Head coach Paul Cretton must have lit a fire in the locker room during halftime, because his girls came out ready to play, especially CyCy White, who wasted no time in driving to the basket to collect the “And-1.” After an aggressive third quarter by the Blue-and-Gold, they only trailed East Hamilton by two heading into the final eight minutes of action. Out of nowhere, things started to go downhill for Walker Valley once they had pulled within one at See MUSTANGS, Page 25
Bearettes remain perfect in district By SARALYN NORKUS Banner Sports Writer
There were absolutely no surprises during Friday’s game between Bradley Central and Ooltewah. The Bearettes (15-3, 6-0) entered into the District 5-AAA game expecting to win, and by the end of the first quarter it became evident that the Lady Owls (4-10, 3-3) simply couldn’t hang with the powerhouse squad. “We didn’t do a lot of prep for this game. We played really well down at Soddy-Daisy on Tuesday, and we were the heavy favorites in this game,” Bradley coach Jason Reuter stated. “My biggest challenge is just making sure that they get up every night.” The Bearettes started out the game with an 11-point run, allowing the Lady Owls their Banner photo, SARALYN NORKUS first basket after nearly five minBRADLEY CENTRAL’S Anna Roberts (0) guards Ooltewah’s Tiera Lemon, right, during Friday’s utes had passed. game at the Jim Smiddy Arena. Ooltewah was able to get one
more basket in the remaining three minutes of the first quarter, while Bradley added 13 more points to the scoreboard. A 24-4 lead soon jumped to a 53-17 lead for the Bearettes at halftime. The Lady Owls were able to get into double-digit scoring for the first and only time in the second quarter with 13 points, but the home team’s offense didn’t slow down any as they put up a total of 29 points. Bradley all but stalled Ooltewah’s offense in the third quarter. While the Bearettes added 24 more points to the scoreboard, they allowed the Lady Owls only three points. Ooltewah was able to outshoot Bradley 4-3 in the fourth quarter as Reuter sent in girls off the bench, but the coach wasn’t overly concerned with the lack of scoring. “I didn’t beat them up too much over it. It was a mercy rule quarter where the clock doesn’t stop except for time outs and
free throws,” he commented. While picking up their sixth district win was one reason to celebrate, the coach said seeing how unselfish his team played was truly the icing on the cake. “We shot the ball well tonight, and I think that we had a season high for assists with 25. That’s always pleasing to a coach when you’ve got people sharing the ball. Teammates that share the ball with each other are after one common goal, and that’s to win,” Reuter declared. “The best compliment that I can give this team is that the players know their role and have bought into it. I’m proud to coach a group of girls who have one common goal, which is to do whatever it takes to get to Murfreesboro.” The Bearettes shot 57-percent from inside the field and hit 42percent of their 3-point shot attempts.

Tennessee defeats Mississippi St. STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Tennessee’s Kevin Punter and Detrick Mostella combined for 47 points and the Volunteers held off Mississippi State 80-75 on Saturday. It marked the first road win of the season for the Volunteers (98, 2-3 SEC). Mostella had a game-high 24 points while Punter had 23 points and five assists. Mississippi State (7-9, 0-4) is off to a 0-4 start in SEC play for the first time since 1992-93. Mississippi State was led by freshman Quinndary Weatherspoon, who made his first career start in the SEC. Weatherspoon had a career-best 23 points while Gavin Ware had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs. It was Ware’s fifth double-double of the season and the 17th double-double of his career. Ware has now scored in double digits in 16 straight games to open the season. Tennessee shot 47 percent for the game and made 10 of 23 3-
pointers and had just eight turnovers. Mississippi State shot 42.4 percent from the floor and just 5 of 19 beyond the arc. The Bulldogs held a 40-31 rebounding advantage, including a 17-8 advantage on the offensive boards. Tennessee held the second-half lead for the duration and led by as many as 11 points in the second half. A layup by Weatherspoon cut the Tennessee lead to 60-59 with 5:15 left but the Bulldogs would get no closer. Tennessee used its perimeter shooting to take control in the first half. The Volunteers trailed 9-8 in the opening minutes but reeled off 13 unanswered points, including a trio of 3-pointers, to grab a 21-9 lead with 13:23 left in the first half. Mississippi State managed to cut the deficit to 29-24 following a 3-pointer from I.J. Ready. But the Volunteers finished off the half with their sixth 3-pointer and held a 38-27 lead at halftime. Tennessee shot 50 percent in the first half, including 6 of 14
beyond the arc. The Bulldogs managed just 35.7 shooting in the first half and were just 2 of 9 on 3-pointers. TIP-INS Tennessee: Senior forward Armani Moore did not play Saturday after injuring his ankle on Wednesday in the Volunteers’ loss at Georgia. Moore entered the weekend as the Volunteers’ second-leading scorer at 12.4 points a game. Mississippi State: On Saturday, the Bulldogs wore throw-back uniforms to honor an all-white 1963 squad that had to escape town in order to play an integrated Loyola (Illlinois) team in the Bulldogs’ first-ever NCAA Tournament. Also on Saturday, the Bulldogs recognized the 1991 squad, a group that won the SEC regular-season championship and the program’s first SEC title since that 1963 squad.

Mularkey staying on as Titans’ head coach NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are keeping Mike Mularkey as their coach. The man who handled the final nine games after the team fired Ken Whisenhunt this season was chosen Saturday, just hours after the Titans wrapped up their fourth and final interview for the job. Tennessee interviewed Mularkey; another former Buffalo coach in Doug Marrone; Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin; and finished the process by midday Saturday by talking with the Titans' defensive coordinator, Ray Horton. The last NFL team with a head coach position to fill chose not to wait around for more candidates, instead joining the other six teams who all decided to hire offensive coaches for their openings. Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said Mularkey won the job with his vision for the Titans and how he handled the final two months of the season as an interim coach. Mularkey was 2-7 in nine games after Whisenhunt went 3-20 in his tenure before being fired Nov. 3. "Mike is a quality coach and an outstanding person who will help us build this team the right way," Strunk said in a statement. "He has experience as a head coach and a track record for developing young quarterbacks and dynamic offenses, and he
also brings continuity for our franchise quarterback. We understand this may take time as we rebuild the roster and bring in new coaches for Mike's staff, but we believe he has the experience and expertise to build a consistent winner." Mularkey becomes the 18th coach for this franchise overall, and Tennessee's third since Jeff Fisher left in January 2011. He previously had two seasons in charge with Buffalo and one in Jacksonville. He is 18-39 — just 4-21 over his last 25 games —with the Jaguars and Titans. Keeping Mularkey means avoiding having Marcus Mariota, the No. 2 pick overall in the 2015 draft, start over completely going into his second season. "We won't be starting from scratch," Mularkey said. "With that as a basis, we will now be installing some new systems and bringing in new coaches and players to build on what we have started. There is plenty of work to be done until we reach our goal, but we will all work tirelessly to get us there." The Titans have scheduled a news conference Monday to reintroduce Mularkey and present new general manager Jon Robinson, who was hired Thursday. Robinson, a native of Union City, Tennessee, was hired in time to join the Titans as they interviewed potential coaches. Robinson said after talking with
Mularkey and colleagues around the NFL he believes Mularkey is the right choice for this team. "Mike's attention to detail as well as his track record of building dynamic offenses while developing young quarterbacks such as Matt Ryan is impressive," Robinson said. Mularkey coached Buffalo in 2004 and 2005, leading the Bills to a 9-7 record in '04 that was the Bills' last winning season until 2014. After his stint in Buffalo, he was offensive coordinator at Miami, then coached tight ends in 2007. Atlanta hired him in 2008 as offensive coordinator, and the Falcons had a 3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and 1,000-yard receiver in three of his four seasons. That earned him another chance as the head man in Jacksonville in 2012, where he went 2-14 before being let go when the Jaguars hired a new general manager. Mularkey took off the 2013 season and traveled. His old friend Whisenhunt brought him back by hiring him to coach tight ends in Tennessee in 2014, and Delanie Walker turned in the best season of his career that year before topping it in 2015 by becoming the franchise's first 1,000-yard receiver as a tight end. Walker also became only the ninth tight end in NFL history to catch 90 passes in a season.

Mocs outwrestle Gardner-Webb From GoMocs.com The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team fought off a tough GardnerWebb squad for a 24-13 Southern Conference win in Maclellan Gym tonight. The Mocs trailed 10-9 through five matches, but won four of the last five for the team victory. Gardner-Webb brought an experienced lineup that included two seniors and six juniors. The Bulldogs had a pair of seniorfreshman matchups to start the night, but UTC battled hard in both losses. The 25th-ranked Mocs improved to 9-3 overall and 4-0 in SoCon matches. GWU fell to 3-4 and 2-1 in league action. "They're a tough team," stated head coach Heath Eslinger. "I knew that this was a dual where we were going to have to win some close matches. We didn't early, but I'm happy to come away with a win, and I'm super proud with our guys based on their performance." Freshman Alonzo Allen opened against GWU senior Cortez Starkes at 125. Allen got to Starkes' leg a number of
times, but had a hard time finishing the shot. Starkes posted a late takedown for the 6-5 decision. Freshman Cody Hill matched up against Bulldog senior Tyler Ziegler at 133. This one also went down to the wire, with Ziegler's late score giving him a 3-2 win. Trailing 6-0 the Mocs sent their hottest wrestler out at 141 in junior Michael Pongracz. He came into the night with a 16-2 record and quickly took control of his match with Ryan Hull. Leading 10-0 in the second period, Pongracz tied the team scored with a pin with two seconds on the clock. Gardner-Webb responded in a big way at 149 when junior Ryan Mosley scored a major decision over sophomore Chase Zemenak. UTC freshman Kamaal Shakur came back with a win over Christopher Vassar to close the gap to 10-9. The Mocs were in trouble at 165 when Dominic Lampe gave up back points and was nearly pinned in the first period against Kyle Ash. Trailing 4-0 heading into the second period, Lampe
went on the attack. He scored five takedowns the rest of the way for the 10-9 victory. That put the Mocs up 12-10, a lead they would not relinquish the rest of the way. "Dominic Lampe has no fear," added Eslinger. "Sometimes with him, it's coaching him out of chaos. He'll go on to his back in the start, but you would rather tame a lion than beat a lamb. We have to figure out how to get some of that roar out of some our guys." Senior Sean Mappes had a statement win at 174 with his major decision over Brett Stein. The Bulldogs tried to start a run when Hunter Gamble followed with a decision over McCoy Newberg at 184. That shrunk the Mocs' lead to 16-13 with two matches left. Junior Scottie Boykin clinched the team win with an impressive first period tech fall against Gray Jones at 197. Boykin scored a pair of takedowns, then posted 12-straight back points for the win.

CLEVELAND (AP) — During his introductory news conference this week, new Browns coach Hue Jackson made it clear he’ll be heavily involved with Cleveland’s offense. “I love calling plays,” said Cincinnati’s former coordinator. Bye-bye, John DeFilippo. After just one season running Cleveland’s offense, DeFilippo will not be back with the Browns, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Saturday. DeFilippo had two more seasons left on his contract, but he will not be retained by Jackson, the person said on condition of anonymity because the move has not been announced by the team. Despite a lack of playmakers and losing starting quarterback
Josh McCown to a season-ending injury, DeFilippo’s offense passed for more than 4,000 yards and rushed for 1,500 yards this season, just the fourth time the Browns have done that in club history. Jackson, who spent the past two seasons overseeing the Bengals offense, is expected to call the Browns’ plays next season. It’s not yet known if he’ll hire an offensive coordinator, but Jackson will have major input in Cleveland’s offensive system. “Obviously, we’re going to look to find the best coaches that we can in the world to come here and coach,” he said. “If that means Hue Jackson needs to
slide over and give someone else that opportunity, then I will, but I know I will always be itching and scratching and wanting to do it (call plays) because I think I have a pretty good feel of what it takes to be successful in this league.” DeFilippo has already drawn interest from other teams. He interviewed for San Francisco’s coaching vacancy before the 49ers hired Chip Kelly. On Friday, Jackson announced he’s keeping special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, who has been with Cleveland since 2011. Defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil is not coming See BROWNS, Page 25
Banged up Steelers limping into Denver DENVER (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers stagger into Denver with an ailing Ben Roethlisberger, who won't have his leading rusher or his top receiver against the league's best defense Sunday. So what? The Steelers (11-6) are deep even without All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown (concussion) and running back DeAngelo Williams (foot), and the Broncos insist Big Ben can go deep even with a sprained throwing shoulder. The Broncos (12-4) swear they won't make the same mistake they did last year, either. They were in this situation a year ago, coming off a bye and facing a banged-up opponent who was a big underdog. Indianapolis 24, Denver 13.
"I think we were focused on New England," cornerback Aqib Talib said. "We just knew we were going to tear Andrew Luck and the Colts, get them up out of here and get ready to go to New England. So, when I look back on last year, there was a lot of, 'Next week when we go to New England we've got to play Gronk like this.' There was a bunch of future talk when we didn't even get the Colts yet." The Broncos believe the coaching staff wasn't dialed in either, as coordinators Jack Del Rio and Adam Gase were interviewing for head coaching jobs, and John Fox let it be known even before kickoff that Chicago was his kind of town. "I don't think we had all-theway focus," cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. "Everybody had
their minds set on trying to get paid, coaches were trying to leave and go get head coaching jobs. So, I mean, we had a lot of scrambling and stuff going on last year. I think this year everybody's more focused. Everybody's bought in." Nobody's thinking about the AFC championship this time. "Not a drop of overlooking guys," Talib said. "Not a drop of that." Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas, whose 80-yard TD in overtime was the dagger the last time these teams met in the playoffs four years ago, said, "All we're worried about now is the Steelers." And there are plenty of good story lines for this matchup: PRIMED PASSER: Peyton Manning's teammates say the
five-time MVP looks like his old self — maybe even better — as he gets set for his first start in 64 days. "Eighteen is a little more amped up, to be honest," C.J. Anderson said. That could be because Manning has acknowledged this playoff run could be it for him. Brock Osweiler started the last seven games for Denver while Manning was sidelined with a left foot injury, but Manning's epic cameo against San Diego secured the AFC's top seed and earned him the starting gig again.

Auburn upsets Kentucky AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Bruce Pearl and his two star transfers came to Auburn hoping to deliver some big wins. They easily got their biggest together Saturday. Kareem Canty scored 26 points, including two free throws with 20 seconds left, and Tyler Harris had 21 to lift Auburn to a 75-70 upset of No. 14 Kentucky. The Tigers (8-8, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) wiped out a 12-point second-half deficit to snap an 18-game losing streak to the Wildcats (13-4, 3-2). Auburn’s only win in the last 33 meetings had come in 2000, and students stormed the court to celebrate the upset. “I’m happy for our students because I have not been able to provide that return on investAP Photo ment yet,” said Pearl, in his secKENTUCKY’S GUARD Tyler Ulis (3) fouls Auburn guard Bryce Brown (2) during the first half on ond season with a program that Saturday in Auburn, Ala. has been among the SEC’s
UCF gets win ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A.J. Davis, Daiquan Walker and Adonys Henriquez all scored 13 points and the University of Central Florida rode a big first half to a comfortable, 8969 win over East Carolina Saturday. The Knights’ sweep of the season series with ECU is their first since the 2011-12 season. East Carolina swept the season series a year ago, including a win in the American Athletic Conference tournament. Central Florida roared to a 60-32 lead in the first half. Matt Williams knocked down three 3-pointers in the first five minutes, his third sending the Knights to a 16-10 lead. They closed the half on a 16-4 run.
Chattanooga beats ETSU CHATTANOOGA (AP) — Tre’ McLean made four 3-pointers and scored 29 points — both career highs — and Chattanooga beat East Tennessee State 94-84 Saturday for sole possession of first place in the Southern Conference. Leading 45-43 at halftime, McLean hit a 3-pointer to cap an 11-0 run at the start of the second half for a 56-43 lead. ETSU pulled to 64-57 on Desonta Bradford’s 3-pointer, but McLean scored seven points during an 11-3 run to put it out of reach.
worst. “When they see moments like that, they say, ‘OK, our basketball program is competing in spite of injuries and challenges.’ It took special effort, but I wanted to be able to see that special celebration. “I didn’t want to be in the middle of it because I got killed but I wanted to watch it and I wanted to see those guys enjoy themselves.” Canty, a transfer from Marshall, had 21 second-half points. Harris is a graduate transfer from Providence who collected 11 rebounds and made two free throws in the final minute. Kentucky’s Jamal Murray made a 3-pointer with 13 seconds left and Canty missed two free throws to give Kentucky hope. Tyler Ulis, who scored 17 points, missed a 3-point attempt at the other end that
would have kept Kentucky alive. The 5-foot-9 Ulis had 10 rebounds and eight assists. Murray scored 20 points on 8of-22 shooting. It’s hardly panic time for Kentucky and coach John Calipari, as usual trying to nurture a young team through the season. He could still shake up the lineup some, saying he’s got “a couple of other guys noshowing us.” “It’s January. We’re fine,” Calipari said. “I’m not worried about it. I just want to make some changes to see if guys will respond and fight. If you don’t deserve the minutes, let someone else play.” Canty drove for a tying layup with 1:32 left and was fouled by Ulis. The Harlem, New York product came up favoring his right leg but hit the free throw to give Auburn the lead for good. “Growing up where I come
Iowa State beats Kansas State MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Iowa State’s Georges Niang and Monte Morris both felt the ball hadn’t bounced their way in consecutive Big 12 losses. They didn’t leave anything to chance on Saturday. Morris scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half, Niang continued his form at Bramlage Coliseum with 15 points, and No. 17 Iowa State kept Kansas State at arm’s length in a 76-63 victory. “We stayed together,” Morris said. “When they made runs, we always huddled up and kept our composure. I think when we are like this, I do not think anybody can beat us. When we focus, I feel like we play well and respond well to adversity.” The win snapped a two-game skid for the Cyclones (13-4, 2-3 Big 12) after dropping nailbiters to Texas and No. 22 Baylor, and prevented Iowa State’s first 1-4 league start since 2010-11. Niang entered Saturday’s game averaging 14.7 points in seven games against the Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum. Abdel Nader added 14 points and Matt Thomas had 11 for Iowa State, which shot 50.9 percent from the field — meeting its season average of 50.2. Three players finished with at least six rebounds. First-year Iowa State coach Steve Prohm used a timeout with 9:35 play to spark a 7-0 run after Kansas State cut a double-digit lead to 50-45 on a basket by Justin Edwards.
“We had to get a stop,” Wildcats coach Bruce Weber said. “But they made their plays.” Edwards scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Kansas State (11-6, 1-4). Three times late, Kansas State pushed back but couldn’t get any closer than 66-59 with 3:12 remaining on a 3-pointer by Kamau Stokes. The Wildcats cooled off after hitting 10 3pointers against Texas Tech on Tuesday, completing just 4 of 21 attempts from beyond the arc. “I think we let our lack of offensive execution and shotmaking affect our defense,” Weber said. “That meant we didn’t have any energy, but you have to let the defense create the energy.” The first half had the makings of a blowout. A 7-minute scoring drought for Kansas State allowed the visitors to take a double-digit lead. The Wildcats were 1 of 15 from the field during the spell and turned the ball over four times. At one point, Kansas State scored three points on 19 possessions. Morris scored with 5:09 remaining in the half to make it 26-9. D.J. Johnson responded for the Wildcats with a tough layup inside that started a 14-6 run to cut the deficit to 32-23 by halftime. “I have learned a lot in my short time in this league, and we just have to continue to get better each day,” Prohm said. “But to come here and win like

Lattin’s tip lifts Oklahoma past West Virginia NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Khadeem Lattin made the most of his second chance, and now the Oklahoma Sooners could be on the verge of a No. 1 ranking. Twelve days after Lattin missed a free throw that could have beaten Kansas in a game the Sooners eventually lost in triple overtime, his tip-in with one second remaining Saturday gave No. 2 Oklahoma a 70-68 victory over No. 11 West Virginia. “It was kind of a redemption game for me,” Lattin said. With the score tied at 68, Oklahoma’s Jordan Woodard drove hard to the hoop and missed, but Lattin’s man moved over to help, leaving him available for the tip-in. “Getting to tip it in was great, but we all contributed to that win, and it was just my time at that moment to tip it in, I guess,” Lattin said. Buddy Hield scored 17 points, Jordan Woodard had 13 and Ryan Spangler added 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Sooners (15-1, 4-1 Big 12). Oklahoma is in position to move to No. 1 in the AP poll since top-ranked Kansas lost to West Virginia on Tuesday. It would be the Sooners’ first No. 1 ranking since March 1990. “It’s not something our guys focus on or think about every day, necessarily, or even have conversations about,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. “But they’re fans, we all are, and it’s great, but it’s all about getting better tomorrow. The leadership of this group, the senior group, Jordan and those guys know that whatever is today is OK, but it’s nothing in terms of what we have to keep doing in Big 12 play in terms of getting better to keep challenging the opposition that lies ahead.”
There’s no time to relax or savor the win. The Sooners play at No. 17 Iowa State on Monday. “That’s the way the league is, and why it’s so special,” Kruger said. “That’s why these guys are here — they like that challenge, they like that competition. Iowa State’s great.... and it’s a quick turnaround for sure.” The Sooners won despite shooting a season-low 33.3 percent. Jaysean Paige scored 18 points for West Virginia (15-2, 4-1), which was coming off the big win over Kansas. The Mountaineers were trying to become first team to beat No. 1 and No. 2 in consecutive game since Kansas beat North Carolina and Memphis in the 2008 Final Four. West Virginia entered the day alone in first place in the Big 12. They might have remained there had they shot better than 13 for 22 from the free throw line. The Mountaineers turned the ball over 16 times. “What kills us is when we go to the free throw line and can’t make free throws,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. “You can’t shoot 50 percent from the free throw line, and you can’t turn it over the way we turned it over.” Woodard grabbed an offensive rebound to set up Hield for a 3pointer that gave the Sooners a 34-32 lead late in the first half. Hield blocked Jevon Carter’s shot at the buzzer, and the teams were tied at 34 at the break. A 3-pointer by Hield put the Sooners up 39-34 in the opening minutes of the second half. Oklahoma’s Isaiah Cousins was called for a flagrant foul with 15:11 remaining. Paige made two free throws to put the Mountaineers up 42-41, and Daxter Miles, Jr. scored on the inbounds pass to make it a three-
point lead for West Virginia. The Mountaineers expanded their lead to seven before the Sooners bounced back. Two free throws by Spangler gave Oklahoma the lead, and a 3pointer by Woodard put the Sooners up 55-51 with about 9 minutes to play. The Sooners led 65-58 with 4:32 remaining before West Virginia rallied. STAT LINES Hield was held below 20 points after scoring at least that many in the previous nine games.

From Staff Reports SMYRNA — The Walker Valley girls saw their hopes of reaching the state bowling tournament swatted away by Siegel Saturday afternoon. Siegel defeated Walker Valley by a pinfall of 2,992-2,754 and 20-7. Traveling to Middle Tennessee for the sectionals, the Region 3 runner-up Lady Mustangs were neck and neck with the Lady Stars, but they ultimately came up short in the end. “The ladies fought hard, and it was closer than it seems,” Walker Valley coach Dean Anderson commented. Spares proved to be the tipping point in the sectional.
“We missed several easy spares,” Anderson added. Angel Davis led the Lady Mustangs with a 536 series, and Natily Haro rolled a 521. Nicole Hartman bowled a 447 series, and Skylar Earls followed closely with a 440 series. Michaela Brown finished with a three-game total of 424, and Delana Jones had a 384 series. While their team bid to reach state might be finished, there are still three Lady Raiders who will competing in the state individual tournament. Seniors Davis, 165.76 average, and Hartman, 154.35 average, will join Haro, a freshman with a 190.71 average. The state tournament will be held at the Smyrna Bowling
Center this Thursday through Saturday. The Region 3 champion Mustangs are looking to punch their ticket to the state tournament on Monday, when they host Region 4 runner-up Columbia Central at Leisure Time Bowling at 11 a.m. The Walker Valley boys also have five seniors who have qualified for the individual tournament: Briton Helton (226.45), Tanner Kincaid (211.04), Nathan Kirby (208.90), Dakota Dawson (206.87) and Dylan Dawson (198.14). Helton is also up for the 2015-16 Tennessee Bowling Proprietors High School Bowler of the Year award, which will be announced on Thursday.

Chris Davis returns to Baltimore BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis and the Orioles are together again. Multiple people with knowledge of the situation say Davis has agreed to a seven-year, $161 million contract with Baltimore, pending a physical. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the Orioles have not announced the transaction. The 29-year-old Davis has been with Baltimore since 2011. He hit a major-league leading 47 home runs and amassed 117 RBIs last year. Davis became a free agent after the 2015 season, and he wondered aloud during the final week whether his time in Baltimore was up. "I'm trying not to reminisce too much just yet," he said. "I definitely want to enjoy these last few games, just kind of take everything in, being around these guys, playing in front of our fans, and wearing this uniform. I try not to let myself look too far ahead. If I did that, it would be a lot harder the last few days and take some joy away." The Orioles were his most aggressive suitor, offering a seven-year deal last month. Since coming to the Orioles in a July 2011 trade with Texas, Davis has been a sensational run producer and a positive force in the clubhouse. "I've said all along, Chris is a body-of-work guy," manager Buck Showalter said. "When you get through and step back, he can do a lot of things that not many people can do. He may go some at-bats and just not look aesthetically pleasing, but he's always one swing, one at-bat away. He squares up a ball, and it goes where you can't defend it."
After Davis and his agent, Scott Boras, stalled making a decision this offseason, Baltimore reportedly made an offer this week to hard-hitting free agent Yoenis Cespedes.
Within days, Davis had himself a deal. Davis has 203 career homers, including 126 over the last three years. He hit a career-high 53 long balls in 2013.
Crusaders suffer first loss Special to the Banner
DAYTON — The Crusaders of Cleveland Christian School traveled up the mountain to Fort Bluff to take on South Division rival Rhea County Academy in basketball action Thursday evening. Prior to the matchup, the middle school boys took to the court against Rhea County Academy’s junior varsity team. The Crusaders were outmatched from the start as they suffered their first loss of the season, 4522. Cooper Burnette led the Crusaders with 10 points; Ethan Thompson scored seven. Davin Flowers added four points, and Jeremiah Allen scored one. The varsity game proved to be a better matchup, as both teams swapped leads throughout the game. Cleveland Christian took the early lead after the first quarter, 13-12. The game was tied 30-30 at the half. “Rebounding is the key tonight,” said coach Larry Davis at the half. “Max is keeping us in the game on the boards, and Ben (Wycoff) is playing his heart out.” Cleveland Christian dominated the third period,
outscoring Rhea County 2714 to take a commanding 5744 lead. The fourth period proved to be all Rhea County’s, however, as it narrowed the lead in outscoring the Crusaders 29-15. The game came down to a dramatic final shot to end regulation. With about six seconds left, Ben Wycoff drove down the court and made a shot as time expired for what appeared to be a game-tying three-point buzzer beater. As the Crusaders celebrated the shot, the 3-pointer was waved off, making it a 2point shot. The officials agreed Wycoff's foot was on the line, and Rhea County escaped with the 73-72 win. “The boys played their guts out tonight against the top team. It was good basketball, probably the best collective effort I’ve seen in a tough environment this year. We’re definitely in this thing,” said Davis after the loss in the South Division of the South Christian Athletic Association. Entering the game, Rhea County was undefeated in the South Division with a record of 6-0. The loss drops See CRUSADERS, Page 25

No Rio de Janeiro for Kobe MIAMI (AP) — Kobe Bryant is passing the Olympic torch. Bryant revealed Saturday that he is removing himself from consideration for a spot on the U.S. team that will compete at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics this summer, meaning the five-time NBA champion's retirement begins officially when his 20th and final season with the Los Angeles Lakers ends. Bryant made the announcement in Salt Lake City before the Lakers' game against the Utah Jazz. He has informed USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and Olympic coach Mike Krzyzewski of his decision. He said it's simply time to move on, and let someone else — the younger stars like Stephen Curry — enjoy their Olympic journey. "Since my retirement announcement, I'm able to watch these guys in a different light," said Bryant, a gold AP photo medalist in 2008 and 2012. "I've Los AngeLes LAkers' Kobe Bryant gestures during a media conference prior to an NBA game come to terms with the fact that against the Golden State Warriors, Thursday, in Oakland, Calif. Bryant has announced that he is not they are the future of this game. These are the guys who deserve interested in playing in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. the spots in Rio. These are the
guys who people need to watch and root for. These are the guys to show fans where this game is going in the future." He tipped his hand on the decision Thursday night, when he said it's time for others to "see how many championships they can win, see how many gold medals they can win." On Saturday, he made his intentions completely clear. "I've had my moment," Bryant said in a pregame news conference. The NBA's No. 3 all-time scorer, Bryant worried that if he took a spot on the 12-man roster and then could not play because of injury — and he's dealt with major ones in recent years — he could wind up hurting the U.S. chance at gold as well as take a spot from a younger player who possibly hasn't been on the Olympic stage before. When wearing the red, white and blue, Bryant's record was perfect. He was on five different USA Basketball national teams over his career, with those teams combining for a 36-0
record in international competition. He has told Krzyzewski and Colangelo that he is willing to help the national team in unofficial ways going forward. It just won't be as a player. Bryant revealed to AP in November that "it would mean the world" to him to have one more Olympic opportunity, both for the camaraderie that would have come from being teammates with other NBA stars one more time but also because he has long thought of himself as someone with a unique global perspective. He spent part of his youth in Italy, has business relationships now all over the globe and is still one of the most popular athletes worldwide. His head and his heart wanted to go to Rio. The rest of his 37-year-old body doesn't seem so willing to cooperate. His shoulder is aching and there's concern about his Achilles. He's missed eight games already this season and entered Saturday shooting just under 35 percent — a careerSee KOBE, Page 25
Hawks outdone by Bucks in overtime MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo took matters into his own hands in a tense overtime period. Antetokounmpo finished with 28 points and a career-high 16 rebounds in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 108-101 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. He hit a free throw, scored on a dunk and topped it off by burying a 3-pointer from the corner. Antetokounmpo also blocked a shot and grabbed two rebounds in the extra session. “We just played hard and kept executing,” he said. His dunk came off a pass from John Henson to extend Milwaukee’s lead to 103-99 with 1:35 left in overtime. After an Atlanta turnover, Antetokounmpo’s 3 put the Bucks up by seven. “My coaches and my teammates want me to shoot the ball when I am open,” he said. “I was open and I shot the ball without even thinking about it.” Khris Middleton scored 26 points and Greg Monroe and Michael Carter-Williams added 15 points apiece for the Bucks, who won the first matchup between the teams this season. Carter-Williams also blocked Jeff Teague’s shot at the horn, sending the game into overtime. “He’s a great defender, especially for a point guard, how tall and long he is,” Middleton said of Carter-Williams. “We really needed that stop.” Paul Millsap had 23 points and Al Horford 18 for Atlanta. Carter-Williams made a 3pointer with 3:04 remaining in overtime to put the Bucks ahead 100-99. Kyle Korver made five of six first-half shots, including two from 3-point range, to pace Atlanta to a 51-46 halftime lead. But he badly missed a wideopen 3-point attempt with 34 seconds left in regulation and the scored tied at 95. The Bucks then turned over the ball with the shot clock winding down but got to OT when Carter-Williams blocked Teague’s shot. The Hawks played the entire overtime without Millsap and all but 41 seconds without Kent Bazemore, after they fouled out. “Obviously we would have preferred to have (Millsap) and (Bazemore), two of our better players, out there, but I think everybody felt that when overtime started we had enough to win. We just didn’t get it done,” Korver said. The Bucks didn’t take their first lead of the game until Henson’s shot in the lane with about four minutes left in the third quarter put them ahead 66-65. The Hawks, who led by as many as 11 and had won six straight in Milwaukee, were 7 of 14 from 3-point range in the first half. Milwaukee shot just 39 percent in the half and missed all five of its 3-pointers. The Hawks shot 50 percent and led 28-22 after the first quarter. TIP-INS Hawks: Swingman Thabo Sefolosha returned to the lineup after missing two games with a sore right wrist. He played 34 minutes. ... Millsap needs four points for 10,000 in his career. Bucks: Guard Jerryd Bayless missed his sixth consecutive game with a sprained left ankle. ... Guard O.J. Mayo sat out after aggravating a left hamstring injury during Wednesday’s game at Washington. Mayo missed one game earlier this month with the
same injury. He missed 11 games earlier in the season with a right hamstring injury. ... Bucks owner Marc Lasry was chosen to participate in the NBA All-Star celebrity game on Feb. 12 as part of NBA All-Star weekend in Toronto. Lasry played collegiate basketball at Clark University. IN THE CROWD Hall of Famer and former Bucks star Bob Lanier attended the game. An eight-time All-Star, Lanier played for Milwaukee from 1980-84. Bob Dandridge, who played nine seasons for the Bucks and was a key member of Milwaukee’s only NBA championship in 1971, also was on hand. FLASHBACK FRIDAY Considered an innovator of funk music, 74-year-old George Clinton performed on the court at halftime. HALFTIME HEAVE Antetokounmpo drew a foul on Millsap while attempting a halfcourt shot just before halftime. Antetokounmpo made two of three foul shots. DUNK DEBACLE With the Hawks up four with 7:35 remaining, Mike Scott missed a wide-open dunk as he slammed the ball off the back of the rim. The Bucks tied the score a short time later. HOUSTON (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 23 points, LeBron James added 19 and the Cleveland Cavaliers wrapped up their longest trip of the season with a 91-77 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday night. The Cavaliers capped six games away from home and were playing for the second straight night, but it was the Rockets who looked tired and listless as Cleveland built a double-digit lead by halftime and pushed it to 20 in the third. Cleveland got back on track after a loss to San Antonio on Thursday night that snapped an eight-game winning streak before the team's showdown with Golden State on Monday. Dwight Howard had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets. James Harden had 11 points on 2-for-10 shooting and missed all five of his 3-point attempts. THUNDER 113 TIMBERWOLVES 93 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Russell Westbrook had his 23rd career triple-double, leading Oklahoma City to a victory over Minnesota. Westbrook finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his fourth triple-double of the season. He bounced back after being ejected Wednesday night against Dallas following skirmishes with J.J. Barea. He sat out the fourth quarter Friday because the Thunder were in control. Kevin Durant had 21 points, Dion Waiters scored 20 and Cameron Payne added 14 for the Thunder. Andrew Wiggins had 25 points for the Timberwolves. They have lost nine straight. HEAT 98, NUGGETS 95 DENVER (AP) — Hassan Whiteside had a triple-double with 19 points, 17 rebounds and 11 blocks and injury-depleted Miami rallied to beat Denver. Chris Bosh made the tiebreaking jumper with 55 seconds left and scored 24 points. Tyler Johnson had 15 off the bench for Miami, which was without Dwyane Wade because of injuries to both shoulders. It was the first game Wade
missed this season due to injury. It left the Heat without their starting backcourt, with Goran Dragic sidelined by a strained left calf. Darrell Arthur led Denver with 18 points. MAVERICKS 83, BULLS 77 CHICAGO (AP) — Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 points to lead Dallas past Chicago. Nowitzki hit a 3-pointer with 2:15 to play to put the Mavericks up 79-72. Jimmy Butler missed two 3-pointers in the final 12 seconds as the Bulls tried to rally. Deron Williams added 18 points for the Mavericks. Derrick Rose, back in the lineup after missing a game with knee pain, led Chicago with 18 points, and Pau Gasol had 17. Joakim Noah left after separating his left shoulder in the second quarter. TRAIL BLAZERS 116 NETS 104 NEW YORK (AP) — Damian Lillard had 33 points and 10 assists, reserve Allen Crabbe added 19 points and Portland beat Brooklyn for its third straight victory. Down 92-86 with 8:41 left, Lillard and backup center Ed Davis and Lillard combined for 16 points during a 19-2 run that gave the Trail Blazers a 105-94 lead with 4:26 remaining. Brook Lopez scored 25 points for Brooklyn, and Donald Sloan came up just short of his first career triple-double, finishing with 15 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. The Nets have lost 11 of their last 12 games at Barclays Center. PELICANS 109 HORNETS 107 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ryan Anderson hit six 3-pointers and had a season-high 32 points, and Anthony Davis dunked Jrue Holiday's alley-oop lob with 2 seconds left to lift New Orleans past Charlotte. Davis finished with 22 points to help New Orleans win its second straight. Holiday added 13 points and 10 assists, including a short turnaround that gave the Pelicans a 105-102 lead with 57 seconds left. Kemba Walker scored 25 points for Charlotte, including a tying 3 with 19.2 seconds left. Nicolas Batum also had 25, but his last-second 3-pointer from the left corner bounced out. WIZARDS 118, PACERS 104 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — John Wall had 28 points, seven rebounds and eight assists to lead Washington past Indiana for its fourth straight victory. Bradley Beal added 22 points for Washington. The Wizards outscored the Pacers 20-4 in the first 7 minutes of the second quarter and 35-19 overall in the period. Paul George had 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists for Indiana. CELTICS 117, SUNS 103 BOSTON (AP) — Isaiah Thomas scored 19 points against his former team, Marcus Smart had his first career triple-double and Boston beat Phoenix.

Panthers, Seahawks ready for a fight CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera says the Seattle Seahawks are starting to feel a little like a division opponent. The teams will meet for the sixth time in four years and for the second straight season in the NFC divisional playoffs on Sunday. The Seahawks have won four of the previous five matchups, including a 31-17 playoff victory last year in Seattle. But this time it's a little different. Not only will the game be played in Charlotte, where the top-seeded Panthers (15-1) have won 11 straight, but the Seahawks face a Carolina team that's more confident and battled-tested. Some of that stems from Carolina's 27-23 win over the two-time defending NFC champions in Week 6 when Cam Newton connected on a 26-yard touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen with 32 seconds left. The Panthers say that win helped jumpstart their 14-0 start this season and gave them confidence they could beat the best.
"It was just a matter of getting over that hump," said cornerback Josh Norman. It led Panthers safety Roman Harper to declare this week: "We are the better team." In many ways, the Seahawks and Panthers are mirror images of one another, which may help explain why the last five games have come down to the wire. They both have dynamic quarterbacks who can make plays with their arms and their feet; strong running games led by powerful, bruising backs; and defenses that excel at keeping the opposition out of the end zone. But the most intriguing matchup may be Carolina's No. 1 scoring offense against Seattle's defense, which has allowed the fewest points in the league. Newton became the first QB in league history to throw for 35 touchdown passes and run for 10 scores in a season. He'll face a defense loaded with playmakers. "This is the most diversified offense that we see, and the dynamics of what Cam is able to do and the way that they're will-
ing to run with him makes this a really difficult offense to prepare for," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "You've seen everybody have trouble with it all year long, so we'll see if we can keep it down and try to keep the score within reach and see if we have a chance." Things to watch in the Seahawks-Panthers playoff game: NOW BOARDING: After last week's sudden turn when Marshawn Lynch ended up not making the trip to Minnesota, all indications are "Beast Mode" will be back against the Panthers. If Lynch plays, it will be his first action since Week 10 against Arizona prior to having abdominal surgery. Lynch was a full participant in practice for the second straight week. Carolina did an adequate job slowing down Lynch in the first meeting, holding him to 54 yards on 17 carries and no run longer than 17 yards. In seven career games versus Carolina as a member of the Seahawks, Lynch has never rushed for more than 89 yards. See SEAHAWKS, Page 25

Editorial “The tendency to claim God as an ally for our partisan values and ends is the source of all religious fanaticism.” — Reinhold Niebuhr, American clergyman and author (1892-1971)
Now, more than ever, we need the patience of Job
W
ord that the Cleveland Bradley County State Veterans Home had slipped from No. 54 to No. 66 on the 2016 priority list for federal funding surely tasks the soul of every man and woman in this community who has worked to bring this dream to reality. Never would we present ourselves at this newspaper as Biblical scholars, but we are reminded of an appropriate adage whose Scriptural foundation is rooted from the message of James 5:10-11, the one about enduring life’s challenges with “... the patience of Job.” It reads, “Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought him. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.” While Bible verses and the Christian faith have little to do with the future of a veterans facility in our hometown, they do teach us this lesson: Patience is a virtue, and it is patience that will one day bring us our reward. These aren’t just words intended to calm frazzled nerves. This isn’t just a pep talk to keep spirits high. Ours is not a message to keep chins up and eyes focused on the prize of another day. We truly believe shovels one day will break ground on a veterans home here, and — as witnessed in Clarksville and Montgomery County last Monday — we are confident a ribbon one day will be cut signifying the completion, and the opening, of a place of refuge for aging veterans whose time of war has mercifully yielded to a time of peace. Some might ask, “Why do you believe?” Here’s why: 1. Although the federal funding rank for the Cleveland Bradley County State Veterans Home has dropped a few spots, it remains on the Priority One list and this is a positive. 2. Although some might view this as yet another step back in an endeavor that has faced one hurdle after another, it should be remembered we live in a time when there is only so much federal funding to go around. 3. Although the frustration of local leaders could be growing ... again ... we still have forwardthinking organizations like the Southeast Tennessee Veterans Home Counci and the Bradley County Veterans Services office who remain vigilant in their quest for this needed facility. 4. Although we face the temptation to ask ourselves, “Does anybody out there care?” ... the truthful answer is, “Yes.” She is Many-Bears Grinder, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services who has committed her time, dedication and energy to securing a veterans home in Bradley County. 5. Although naysayers might warn our community just doesn’t boast the infrastructure nor the funding nor the know-how to attract such a modern-day facility, we offer these reminders: We have the land. We have the local funding. We have a generous private donation. We have a state match. We have what it takes. We just need continued patience. Our time will come. 6. Although it is appropriate to question our drop in the federal ranking, we are reminded that Nos. 13 through 58 on the list account for the renovation of existing homes, and many of these are because of safety issues. Before building new facilities, it is appropriate to assure the safety of those veterans living in the old. 7. Although some might argue other cities ahead of the Cleveland ranking who also are
seeking new veterans homes might be less deserving, those advocates in Marion County, Fla., Port St. Lucia, Fla., and Richmond, Texas, (Nos. 10-12) probably feel they are; such arguments are debatable by their very nature. 8. Although frustrated residents might contend, “Maybe we need new leaders who can better promote the cause,” such belief is off the mark. We have the leaders. We have the local dedication. We have the working commitment of private donors, government doers — both local and state — and the proven worthiness. We just need patience, a quiet but powerful virtue that certainly can be aided by the continued backing of Tennessee’s congressional delegation. We are encouraged by the words of Cid Heidel who cochairs the local Veterans Home Council. It is Heidel who told our newspaper in the wake of the latest federal priority list, “We’ve been through this before. We weren’t really expecting to be funded this year because the overall appropriation has been decreasing in recent years.” Likewise, we understand there are those whose work to get the federal government’s attention is not only exemplary, it is an in-the-trenches, roll-upthe-sleeves commitment to bring to Bradley County what our people have earned. We speak of state Rep. Kevin Brooks, R-Cleveland, representing the 24th Legislative District who was in Washington, D.C., when the new federal list was released. Obviously, it didn’t sit well with the longtime state legislator and rightfully so. “I used my time in Washington to speak to our Tennessee delegation and get their 100 percent support for getting the Cleveland home moved up the list,” Brooks told Cleveland Daily Banner senior staff writer Joyanna Love. Brooks also reminded national delegates of everything the local initiative has secured to date: Local and state funding, a $3 million private donation and valuable land which is being upgraded to meet stringent state and federal guidelines. Brooks’ commitment to the state veterans home in Bradley County is unquestioned. The same is true for the other threefourths of our state legislative delegation: state Rep. Dan Howell and state Sens. Mike Bell and Todd Gardenhire. As said, we have the leadership — both elected and private, both local and state. We have the government endorsement of both the Cleveland City Council and the Bradley County Commission, and the influential voices of each mayor, the city’s Tom Rowland and the county’s D. Gary Davis. We have the land, the people, the willingness, the drive and the need. We also have the patience, though its depth is being tested. Such a tempest brings this reminder: Anger will bring nothing to our cause. Cool and collected heads will lead the way, just as they have led for more than a decade. Little in life comes easily, especially that which involves such a collective of governments, priorities and protocols. It is why the lessons of Job one day will lead us to our promised land. It won’t happen today. It won’t happen tomorrow nor the day after, or the day after that. But it will happen. It will come. “... We count as blessed those who have persevered.” It is perseverance that brings reward. Such reward will come with the opening of the Cleveland Bradley County State Veterans Home.

Those mouthwatering tours Watching the making of edible treats was a sweet part of some great childhood trips While working on a recent story about peanut brittle, I was reminded of a field trip I took in third grade to a nut factory. I have no idea how our teacher chose Jeppi Nut Company as a place to take her class, but it was a memorable event. A friend of mine was allergic to peanuts and had to be careful not to touch or eat any. Apparently, standing near them was fine. I vaguely remember a tour guide taking us through the facility and talking to us about nuts. What really made an impression though had little to do with nuts. The company also sold popcorn and candy. I remember a giant silver popcorn popper being filled with kernels and the shouts of joy as we spotted the first popped pieces. I think we even got free samples. It was at Jeppi Nut that I first saw a 10pound slab of chocolate. I have since learned that the company still exists as Jeppi Nut and Candy Company, founded in 1884. Since that first trip in third grade, I have visited other factories and industrial sites both for business and pleasure. A favorite stop on vacations as a child was the Herr’s Snack Factory in Nottingham, Pa. The tour highlights the chip-making process from potato to crispy goodness. At one time, the free tour even included the chance to taste a fresh hot chip. I’m not sure if this is still allowed. Free samples topped off the tour. I remember getting pretzels one time. On my last visit to Herr’s, the clearance section of slightly defective bags of chips served as a great way to inexpensively try some new flavors. I am convinced that one of the bags was on the discount shelf because it had too much ketchup flavor. Snack factories continued as a theme for
Joy Writing Joyanna Love Banner Senior Staff Writer vacation spots. I had a lesson in how to hand-twist a pretzel in the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery tour, while visiting a summer in community college. I had braces and wasn’t supposed to be eating pretzels, but I carefully ate a soft pretzel to be able to enjoy the experience with my family. Hershey Company doesn’t allow a tour of the actual candy factory, but it does have a welcome center. A video of production is shown and a ride akin to something at their neighboring amusement park takes visitors through the different steps in a model of a factory. Hershey, Pa., is home to the headquarters and some of the factories for the company. Each streetlight in the area is in the shape of a Hershey Kiss. A candy tour was also a part of my family’s vacation in Colorado. We visited Hammond’s Candies. I do not remember much about this tour. I do, however, remember the Celestial Seasonings tea company tour. The plant had to specially design a storage area for the peppermint they use because of how strong the smell is and the volume they store. The tour guide opened the door for just a moment for the visitors to appreciate the effect. Since moving to Cleveland, I’ve enjoyed the Mayfield Dairy Tour and wished countless times that M&M Mars had a tour open to the public.
Of course, the smells of cooking chocolate are free. During a recent visit to Maryland to see family, Twix was one of the mini-candy bars in the candy dish. I found myself repeating a line from one of Mayor Tom Rowland’s speeches as I made them aware that all of the Twix manufactured in the United States is manufactured in Cleveland. I have also gotten to visit some pretty fascinating commercial and industrial sites as a part of my job. Visiting the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant as a part of a media tour stands out to me as the most unique. I found myself reflecting on the tour as I watched a recent “NCIS: Los Angeles” episode that took place at a decommissioned nuclear power plant. Fortunately, none of the explosions or devious plots in that episode were remotely close to what I experienced at Sequoyah that day. Part of the tour was like a crash course in physics as we were given an overview of the nuclear power generation process. There was a lot of walking and a fear of heights was conquered when we took an outdoor elevator to the top part of the facility and stood on a construction deck. While covering a Manufacturing Day tour of local high school students, I was able to accompany them into the Duracell plant and watch batteries being made. I’ve always been fascinated by watching raw materials taking shape into objects I use every day. This fascination began with my enjoyment of tours via being a “television neighbor” with Mr. Rogers as a child. This fascination is why I’ve enjoyed shows like “Unwrapped,” which explain how various candies and food are made. Maybe this fascination even cultivated the curiosity that led me to journalism.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 17, 1916, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America had its beginnings as department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker hosted a luncheon of pro and amateur golfers in New York City. (The PGA of America was formally established on April 10, 1916.) On this date: In 1893, the 19th president of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, died in Fremont, Ohio, at age 70. Hawaii’s monarchy was overthrown as a group of businessmen and sugar planters forced Queen Lili’uokalani to abdicate. In 1929, the cartoon character Popeye the Sailor made his debut in the “Thimble Theatre” comic strip. In 1945, Soviet and Polish forces liberated Warsaw during World War II; Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, credited with saving tens of thousands of Jews, disappeared in Hungary while in Soviet custody. In 1946, the United Nations Security Council held its first meeting, in London. In 1950, the Great Brink’s Robbery took place as seven masked men held up a Brink’s garage in Boston, stealing $1.2 million in cash and $1.5 million in checks and money orders. (Although the entire gang was caught, only part of the loot was recovered.) In 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his farewell address in which he warned against “the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.” In 1966, a U.S. Air Force B-52 carrying four unarmed hydrogen bombs crashed on the Spanish coast. (Three of the bombs were quickly recovered, but the fourth
wasn’t recovered until April.) The Simon & Garfunkel album “Sounds of Silence” was released by Columbia Records. In 1977, convicted murderer Gary Gilmore, 36, was shot by a firing squad at Utah State Prison in the first U.S. execution in a decade. In 1984, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., ruled 5-4 that the use of home video cassette recorders to tape television programs for private viewing did not violate federal copyright laws. In 1995, more than 6,000 people were killed when an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 devastated the city of Kobe, Japan. In 1996, Sheik Omar AbdelRahman and nine followers were handed long prison sentences for plotting to blow up New Yorkarea landmarks. Former U.S. Rep. Barbara Jordan, D-Texas, died in Austin at age 59. In 2001, faced with an electricity crisis, California used rolling blackouts to cut off power to hundreds of thousands of people; Gov.

Ten years ago: The U.S. Supreme Court protected Oregon’s assisted-suicide law, ruling that doctors there who helped terminally ill patients die could not be arrested under federal drug laws. Hostage American reporter Jill Carroll appeared in a silent 20-second video aired by Al-Jazeera television, which said her abductors had given the United States 72 hours to free female prisoners in Iraq or she would be killed. (Carroll was freed unharmed on March 30, 2006.) California executed convicted killer Clarence Ray Allen a day after his 76th birthday. Five years ago: Apple Inc. announced that its CEO, Steve Jobs, was taking his second
medical leave of absence in two years. (Jobs, 56, died nine months later.) Rock promoter Don Kirshner, 76, died in Boca Raton, Florida. One year ago: Pope Francis braved an approaching tropical storm to travel to the far eastern Philippines to comfort survivors of the deadly Typhoon Haiyan. Bill Cosby performed to a welcoming Denver audience, despite a protest by some 100 people chanting “Rape is not a joke!” and “No means no!” outside the Buell Theatre.

Dear Annie: When my father passed away, I moved in with my mother to help with her bills. Five years later, I’ve paid off her mortgage and continue to live with her and pay her utilities. I now have the opportunity to purchase my own home. At age 33, I feel I need my own space. The predicament is, Mom cares for my ailing sister and her son every day. It means Mom doesn’t have time to get a job to support herself. I’ve told her that I can afford to continue paying her utilities, but she refuses. She said if I move out, it’s like I am “throwing her away like trash.” My siblings weren’t treated this way when they moved out and started their families, but they are making me feel selfish for wanting to be independent. Am I? Is it because I’m still single and don’t have any kids? How can I help my mother and siblings see my point of view? — Emotionally Blackmailed Dear Blackmailed: You need to stand your ground. Your siblings find it easier for you to live with Mom, because it lets them off the hook. They should help out more. Mom wants you to stay because she doesn’t want to be alone. All of them pressure you to keep things as they are because it is in their best interests. But it’s not in yours. Since your mother no longer needs your financial support beyond what you have already offered, please ignore their entreaties to stay. Don’t argue with your family. Simply promise Mom that you will see her often, and assure your siblings that Mom will not be neglected. Calmly repeat those words as often as you need to. In time, they will get used to your new circumstances and things will normalize.

Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, January 17, 2016—23
Reflections on tragedy and the Lorraine Motel “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. U.S. Civil Rights leader (Jan. 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) ——— The day an assassin’s bullet stole the life of American Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Lorraine Motel in 1968 Memphis, I was an eighth-grader at Collierville Junior High School, maybe a 35-minute drive away. Barely a teenager, I knew very little about the man other than what I heard some of the grown-ups say. And that was rarely complimentary, if ever. As I recall, it’s not likely that I would know too much about him. At that age, I wasn’t keen on watching TV news. The only sections of the Memphis Commercial Appeal I read with any regularity were Sports and the comic strips. And, at the time, I knew only two black people ... a pair of classmates at the junior high — my only two black classmates — Havy Hale and Brenda Hubbard. I’ve written about both in prior columns. Each was my friend although our paths crossed only in the hallways, a few classrooms, the cafeteria or maybe on the bus. Seems like I remember our eighthgrade class was divided into two sections. Havy and Brenda were in the other. I’ll never forget the awkward moment that separation caused in one of our classrooms a short time before King’s murder. As history has recorded, the Civil Rights advocate fell victim to the Remington .30-06 hunting rifle of avowed racist and escaped convict James Earl Ray who confessed to the crime but later tried to recant it, claiming his involvement was part of a broader conspiracy. Prior to the shooting, Memphis sanitation workers had gone on strike in
INKSPOTS Rick Norton Assoc. Editor search of better wages and improved working conditions; at least, that’s what I’ve gleaned from some Internet research. Seems like I do recall some of these details in spite of my teenage apathy toward anything newsy. Because two of his nonviolent Civil Rights platforms involved better jobs and equal opportunity for blacks, King and his most trusted advisers traveled to Memphis to support the 1,300 workers who were earning no more than $70 per week (at most) and were given only one uniform each by the city to do their jobs. They weren’t furnished a room to change clothes and they were sent home on rainy days without pay while white supervisors stayed at work and collected theirs; at least, that’s what news media accounts were reporting. While in Memphis, King and his advisers also were planning the Poor People’s March on Washington, D.C.,for later in that month of April. Although King condemned violence, it sometimes followed him — not the result of his actions, but the outbursts of frustrated followers who lived for immediate change in an oppressive America and some of whom who died for it. This became the impromptu lesson plan for one of our eighth-grade teachers shortly before the Memphis shooting. As I recollect, it was a science class ... a course not exactly intended as a spawning ground for lectures on Civil Rights. I remember the teacher’s name, but I’ll not give it. No need to taint the image of someone, or his family, who’s
probably long since passed. Besides, he eventually moved on to another town in a neighboring state. Let’s just say, for the record, he was never one of my favorite teachers. Then again, I probably wasn’t one of his best students. Still, it was a poor, ill-timed excuse of a lecture he gave us that day in our exclusively white class. Even for the tiny community of Collierville — just a stone’s throw from Memphis — it was big news that Dr. Martin Luther King was coming to the big city to our west. Gauging from the comments of the grownups in Collierville, I’d say most of the whites in Memphis didn’t want the civil rights leader in their city. The blacks I’m sure felt otherwise. But that’s only right. They believed in the man and the hope that he brought to all — both black and white. One of the Collierville whites who probably didn’t want the civil rights leader’s visit — I’m supposing — was the science teacher. During class that day, he pretty much let us know it. I’m not saying the man was a racist, but if he wanted to talk to his science students about a non-science subject, I would have hoped for something a little more upbeat. He warned us that King faced risk, the same risk in any other Southern town where he visited in support of Civil Rights and racial equality. He also talked freely of what would — not “could” but “would” — happen “if” the Civil Rights leader was killed in Memphis. Apparently, in the height of the Civil Rights Movement, the lives of advocates for racial change were always in the crosshairs of assassins — whether they preached nonviolence like King or violent measures like “change by any means necessary,” as advocated by
Malcolm X. “Our lives [white lives] won’t be worth a plug nickel if he’s killed in Memphis,” the science teacher warned. His reference apparently was to riots that surely would overtake the streets of Memphis, and any small towns that lined the Bluff City’s perimeter. In his mind, the inevitable result of King’s murder would be a race-based apocalypse whose warring factions were either white or black and whose battleground would bleed across the borders of Arkansas to the west, Mississippi to the south, West Tennessee towns to the north and Collierville to the east. History records that he was correct; at least, the part about riots after MLK’s murder, whether they occurred in Memphis or in distant corners of the country like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York or anywhere else where day-to-day life was a melting pot of culture and race. But, he was wrong about Collierville. No riots in our little town. No shootings. No murders. I’m sure plenty of people were hurting inside — both black and white. But we didn’t take it out on each other. I can’t say that I was appalled by the teacher’s unsolicited line of thinking, because he was an adult. So he probably knew best. And back in those days, we kids were supposed to be respectful of all adults ... especially the teachers, even those whose alarmist thinking wronged the cause of the public classroom. As disturbing as his conjectures may have sounded to a group of wide-eyed eighth-graders, it was his next disclosure that perked up my ears even more. “I can’t talk about this kind of thing in the other class because of Brenda and Havy,” I remember him explaining. Almost 50 years after his prophesy, I’m pretty sure I was thinking to myself, “So why are you talking about it to us?” But I didn’t say it. At least, I don’t
think I did. I don’t remember getting expelled. Expulsion would have been followed promptly by Dad’s leather belt. And I don’t remember that either. So, I guess I just kept my mouth shut. Maybe I shouldn’t have. Too bad the teacher didn’t. As we celebrate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, I do have one wish. I long for a day when both black classmates from eighth grade in 1968 could drop by my newspaper office for a visit, assuming they’re still among the living. We’re all getting older, with every passing day. I would shake Havy’s hand. I would hug Brenda. Heck, I’d probably hug Havy, too. I would take them to lunch and I would ask what they remembered from April 4, 1968, a day of tragedy in the lives of all American people — not just black people, not just white people, not just poor people and not just oppressed people. All people. I would ask how they felt on that day after learning of the 6 p.m. shooting at the Lorraine Motel. I would ask them these questions now because each is a question I should have asked then. Of course, eighth-graders in those days probably didn’t think too much about matters of race and times of hurt, especially when we were mostly segregated from our racial opposites. Too bad. We could have learned a lot ... from each other. And it wouldn’t have come from a verbose science teacher. Happy birthday, Dr. King. I never knew you. But I pray America never forgets your message. ——— (About the writer: Rick Norton is an associate editor at the Cleveland Daily Banner. Email him at rick.norton@clevelandbanner.com.)
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR U.S. ‘Dietary Guidelines’ questioned To The Editor: The “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” released [recently] by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services mark the ninth time in a row that the meat industry has successfully suppressed scientific findings recommending reduced meat consumption. The reduction was recommended by the government-appointed Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in a 571-page report based on review of thousands of studies. Reduced meat consumption was first recommended in 1977 by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs in “Dietary Goals for the United States,” a precursor to the Dietary Guidelines. The meat industry forced the committee to destroy all copies of the report and to remove the offending recommendation from a new edition. That wanton government sellout to the meat industry has replayed itself with every new edition of the Dietary Guidelines since then. “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” shapes school lunches and other government food support programs and underlie public health campaigns to lower rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Fortunately, American consumers are not easily duped. Sales of plant-based meats, cheeses, milks and ice creams have skyrocketed, and every grocery store provides seemingly countless choices of fruits and vegetables. — Collin Dushay Cleveland
Legislators urged to vote for Internet To The Editor: Please vote “Yes” to allow EPB fiber network expansion for Tennessee. I am a software developer and electrical engineer living in southern Bradley County, right between EPB fiber networks one-half mile to the west and Charter, one-eighth mile to the east, where we have almost no Internet service provided. For this service, we pay a premium of $99 per month for 3Mb/sec service and can barely use it to check email. When we complain that we are not getting the quality of service we are paying for, they suggest just decreasing our speed further rather than fixing/replacing the old noisy copper lines. They tell us if we need to have a technician come out that we and our neighbors will have to pay a service charge for it just to keep patching the old copper lines that stretch over three miles to the company. The latest insult came right after Christmas when I bought my kids an Xbox One Gaming Console with games that ended up needing nearly 100GB of
updates downloaded before they could even play the first game. We left it plugged in and downloading for all of Christmas Day and night, and half the next day, and it finally had reached 4 percent complete. Since we could not use Internet for all this time for any other device, I decided to take it over to a neighbor’s house that has EPB basic Internet service (100mb/sec for $57 per month) and it completed the updates in about two hours. The next day I got an email from AT&T stating that I had gone over my data limit of 150 GB for the month and this was the first of two warnings that I would receive before I would be automatically charged an additional $10 more per 50 GB over the 150 GB limit from now on. I was not even aware there was a data limit until now. We have tried everything from Hughes Net to Charter, but with no luck. Hughes Net we tried for 30 days, but with the very restrictive data limits and extreme lag due to satellite distance and outage for every rain storm, it is very costly at over $500 per month for less data than we use now with DSL and unusable for remote work, where no lag and a constant connection regardless of weather conditions is required. Charter, at only an eighth of a mile away, is even worse. After repeated conversations, they will no longer talk to me since they said that it would cost over $34,000 just to connect us for that short distance. Yes, I got all the zeros in there correct: $34,000. As you can see, we are out of options for better Internet service. We did our part by showing up for the local Bradley County vote where the right decision was reached with a 12-1 vote in favor of ending the tyranny brought by AT&T, Charter and others which have stifled growth and prosperity for years in Bradley County. They cannot be considered any more private than EPB, since they choose to use their federal and state subsidies to continue the status quo and pay lobbyists to fight to keep their monopolies through useless ads, and [to provide] upgrades to areas already provided for by EPB for which there is no market, like Red Bank and East Ridge, instead of growing their rural customer base by upgrading all copper to fiber and offering a comparable product to EPB’s in rural areas for which subsidies are already designated. With your vote of “Yes,” we can bring all of this madness to a close and open up for real competition in this new required commodity for growth and success in Tennessee. I look forward to you making the right decision and doing what is best for the people and businesses of Tennessee. Thank you for your “Yes” vote in advance. — Don Eberhart Cleveland ——— (Editor’s Note: The above letter was forwarded by the writer to state Rep. Dan Howell, R-Georgetown who represents the 22nd Legislative District, and to state Sen. Todd Gardenhire, RChattanooga who represents the 10th Senatorial District. The letter was also sent to the Cleveland Daily Banner.)
Broadband access gets full support To The Editor: For many people in Tennessee, true high-speed broadband Internet service (fiber or wired) is an essential utility for education, business and entertainment. However, the big communications companies in many cases (like mine) have refused to provide this service to homes and businesses in rural areas, citing lack of profit. Some of these same companies are taking nearly $179 million in federal dollars to provide to some rural Tennessee areas expensive and capped wireless Internet service that won’t be fast enough to meet the current definition of broadband, and won’t work well in hilly terrains. Tennessee has municipal utilities that are willing and able to provide highspeed fiberoptic Internet service to unserved areas, but a state law prevents this. This law was pushed through years ago by the big communications companies to protect them from competition. Please urge your elected representatives in the Tennessee Legislature to support SB1134/HB1303 to allow municipal utilities to provide Internet service outside of their electrical service areas. Even people with existing broadband Internet should benefit from competition among providers. — Tom Matthews Cleveland
It’s just what Christians do, writer says
To The Editor: Once upon a time there was an 8year-old girl who could not stand to go over to her cousin’s house. Her cousin was two years older than her and had cooler stuff in her room that she couldn’t play with. So, she asks her dad, “Why do we always go over there?” Her dad said, “That’s our family, and that’s what Christians do.” On the little girl’s 13th birthday, she did not want to invite her now beautiful, and popular, cousin to her party. So, she asks her dad, “Why do we have to invite her?” Her dad said, “That’s our family, and that’s what Christians do.” The little girl is now 28 years old and she is on the kidney donor’s list. She has been on the list for about one year. There had not been a match for another kidney until then. That match came from her older cousin. And the girl’s older cousin gladly donated her own kidney. After months, the two girls were having lunch together and the 28-year-old asked her cousin, “Why did you give me your own kidney?” The cousin replied, “You’re my family. You may have been a brat sometimes, but I still love you. Besides, that’s what Christians do.”
As we make our New Year’s goals, remember to show more compassion — for our troops, for our government officials, for our co-workers and for our churches. “Why?” you may ask. They are still our family. And that’s what Christians do. — Matthew W. McClean Cleveland
Customer is unhappy with OUD response
To The Editor: I’m a firm believer in right is right and wrong is wrong; my parents raised me that way. Well, in my opinion, and the opinion of many others that have heard what happened, Ocoee Utility District is in the wrong; at least, in the way that they treated this customer. It all started on Dec. 22, when we received our water bill in the mail — a bill that is normally around $30 or so, was $641.20. We thought, oh no, something is bad wrong. We hadn’t noticed any difference in the water pressure or anything, but according to our bill, we had used over 93,000 gallons of water in one month, versus the usual 3,700 gallons we normally use. We checked everywhere, no water standing and no leaks. Then, we thought it must be underground. So we called the water company. They said, “We must have a leak.” Really, you think so? I asked them then, “Why in the world did the meter reader not call us on the 11th when he read it?” Their reply, “Well he doesn’t have the reading from the previous month.” OK, I can believe that. Then why didn’t someone in the office call us when the bill was being printed or mailed? Their reply, “Well, you’re not on the automated system. We’ve been planning to put your area on it, but we haven’t got around to it yet. And we have so many customers it’s just hard to catch everything.” Really, an outrageous bill like that and you didn’t notice it? Ridiculous! So, we then proceeded to do Call Before You Dig, so we could have all the lines marked and find the leak. Mind you, this is Dec. 22, in the evening. So, we got hold of them, and did an emergency call due to the holidays and the severity of the issue. Cleveland Utilities and Charter were there within just a few minutes. Ocoee Utility District calls my cellphone a bit later and asked, “Did you do an emergency call before you dig?” My reply, “Yes, it’s the holidays and that’s a lot of water that needs fixing immediately since you didn’t tell us about it when you read the meter or printed the bill, and it can’t wait until after Christmas.” They finally showed up an hour or so later with the statement, “We can’t trace your lines. They are PVC, and we have no way to do that.” Wow. So the next calls are to find a plumber equipped to handle outside water leaks at Christmastime. We called everybody in the book, and finally found one that was available to fit us in for the next day, the 23rd.
They arrived early that morning, dug up the yard in the front of the house and the flower bed ... no water leak. [They went] to the other side of the driveway, which is concrete, and started digging on that side. No water leak. Conclusion, it is under the concrete, two car widths of concrete, half a foot deep concrete. So they cut out a 2-foot section all the way across, reroute our water lines and the leak is now stopped and it’s evening time. They had to return again on Christmas Eve to get everything covered and sown with grass seed. And bless their hearts, they finally finished at lunch time that day. And it wasn’t cheap, but it was fixed. And I’m truly thankful to the My Plumber crew that was sent out. They did a great job, and were even willing to negotiate the price with it being Christmas. Hats off to them! Now we’re left with a gigantic hole across the driveway that had to be repaired with new concrete on Christmas Eve. Needless to say, it had to wait till after Christmas and all the heavy rains. So ... another day was spent mixing and pouring concrete. To date, it’s all back together, a mess mind you for awhile, but it’s all back together. I’ve since called the water company again, asked to speak to the manager regarding the bill and the fact that they didn’t let us know about it. The company’s famous reply, “It’s a courtesy if we choose to call our customers to notify them of a problem; we’re not required. It’s a courtesy call if we choose.” Well, you did not choose to call us. [I then] asked to speak to the main manager, left him a voice mail. No reply. Called him back [later]; after no return phone call, same answers. Imagine that. You see, I understand pipes can break. It happens. I did file a claim with the leakage protection that we pay an extra dollar for each month, which will cover for one water leak per year up to $500 for that first bill. But what really gets my goat, and what really makes me angry, is that there is another bill coming [from] when they read the meter this month. Because on the day we had the leak fixed, it had already used 60,000-plus gallons of water. I’ve asked Ocoee Utility District why they can’t just average my bill, since they chose not to call me, their customer, about the leak. And Tim Lawson, the manager, states, “The water ran through your meter, and you therefore are responsible for it.” Really? Wow! Imagine that! I don’t dispute it ran through my meter, but had Ocoee Utility District cared about their customers the way they should, they would have chosen to contact us. We would have fixed it on the 11th and 12th of December, and that would have been that ... instead of another bill this month that will be outrageous. And have you noticed that they now offer another leakage protection for $3.50 a month that will cover these incidents all the way to your home? Yes, I have signed up for that as well. Wow, that’s all I can say, just wow! As I said before, right is right and wrong is wrong! And this is wrong! — Christine Widener Cleveland

Huckster, a Shepherd/Lab mix approximately 4 years old, was surrendered to the SPCA as a stray in January 2015. He finally found his forever home 361 days later, when Edward Curtis adopted him. The SPCA staff and volunteers came to be very attached to Huck after his many weeks under their care.
ace, aka Winston, a beautiful Pug about 5 years old, was surrendered to the SPCA as a stray. After being properly processed, this beautiful doggie was posted to the SPCA's Web page and Facebook, which is standard operating procedure for all non-owner surrenders coming to the SPCA. The SPCA staff assigned him the name of Winston. Janet Goode contacted the SPCA to say the dog pictured was hers and his name was Ace. He had been missing for two months. The staff and volunteers were very happy to have played a part in reuniting Ace and his mom, Janet. Should your pet wander, please check all the local shelters as soon as possible. If you have photos of your missing pet, it is a good idea to take a photo to the shelters and complete a missing pet information sheet so the shelter personnel can contact you if the pet is surrendered or picked up.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — These days, people pay piles of cash to pamper their pets, but problems remain on the farm and in the slaughterhouse, on movie sets and at animal shelters — even in the wild. That’s why the American Humane Association is touting its past to move animal welfare forward. It’s celebrating 100 years of Be Kind to Animals Week, which draws celebrities, politicians and everyday enthusiasts each May to raise awareness about the plight of animals. Day spas and designer duds for dogs are the norm now, but inhumane treatment springs up in places from puppy mills to jungles, where animals are killed for their tusks or pelts. In ways, there’s more work to do than when kindness week started in 1915. Celebrities have asked people to combat different problems throughout the years, and history shows notables from Eleanor Roosevelt to Shirley Temple and John Wayne have a soft spot for helping animals. No star is taking the lead this year. Association leaders will make television appearances, hold open houses and provide materials to teach children compassion. An interactive retrospective about the week’s history will appear online, and the group will tour schools with its traveling
museum and a fleet of famed Red Star Rescue trucks used to save animals during disasters. “It warms my heart because here we are, just as relevant today as we were 100 years ago,” said association President and CEO Robin Gazer, based in Los Angeles. The group urges Americans to take a pledge on Kindness100.org to help animals by purchasing humanely raised eggs, meat and dairy; getting a pet from a shelter to cut down on euthanasia; watching movies featuring the “No Animals Were Harmed” end credit; and visiting zoos and aquariums to learn about wildlife conservation. A century ago, the kindness celebration started amid World War I and the toll it took on horses. Before the war ended in 1918, 10 million horses would die on European battlefields. Over the years, celebrities showcased different ways to help animals: — In 1936, Shirley Temple asked people to watch out for animals crossing the road. — In 1966, “Bonanza” star Lorne Green urged Americans to look out for “dognappers” and cattle rustlers. — In 1972, comedienne Carol Burnett aimed to teach families, especially children, how to take care of newly adopted pets. — In 1982, actor Clint
Eastwood, an Oscar-winning producer and director, emphasized the importance of safety for entertainment animals. “I won’t allow a scene where animals are mistreated. I won’t tolerate it and never have. There’s no movie that’s worth it,” he said. The campaign has faced opposition when many thought the focus should be on people, not pets, including during World War II. “I believe there is great value in continuing to train children in the proper attitude toward their pets,” first lady Eleanor Roosevelt countered in her syndicated newspaper column on April 13, 1943. Learning compassion at a young age took root for veterinarian Marty Becker, who has taught millions of children about animals on “Good Morning America” and “The Dr. Oz Show.” Growing up on a small Idaho farm, he had to collect eggs from the chickens before school. It took too long and he got pecked too much, so Becker tried scaring the chickens away to make it easier. “It worked really good. They flew off the nesting boxes,” he said. But his father found out and laid in wait, giving Becker the same scare he’d given the chickens — teaching him that animals deserve the same compassion as people.
Dixie Day Spay plans Doggone Dessert Party
robyn and rick Ward recently moved out of their son’s place and missed the cats. They saw Autumn, a 4-month-old domestic medium hair kitten on The Ark's Facebook page. Autumn had been reared in an Ark foster home and received all four rounds of required vetting, prior to being spayed and coming to The Ark cage-free habitat, ready for adoption. The Wards drove from Dalton, Ga., to meet Autumn and both fell in love with her. After reviewing veterinary records and completing the adoption contract, the new family posed for a new beginnings photo. Autumn will visit Petco with her "Think Adoption First" shopping voucher for some great getting-started deals.
mariaH and sHannon Lineberry visited The Ark, hoping to find an inside-only canine “fur kid.” After testing Millie, a mountain cur mix, in the cagefree cat room, they felt she would be perfect for them and their inside feline baby. They reviewed veterinary records and completed the adoption contract. The new family posed for a farewell photo before heading to Petco with Millie's "Think Adoption First" voucher, good for a shopping tote and coupon book loaded with huge savings.

worst. "I already let Jerry and Coach K know that I physically can't do it," Bryant said. His last season has been an emotional one. Fans have celebrated him on the road — they even cheered for him wildly in Boston, with Celtics fans giving the longtime Laker rival a long, warm salute — and he is almost certain to be the leading votegetter for the NBA All-Star Game in Toronto next month. "Kobe will inevitably go down as one of the greatest ever to play this game," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday. "I think by his announcing that this is his last
season in the league, there's no doubt it's created enormous interest in every one of his games for the remainder of this season." Still, the grind of a 20th NBA season — after his last two were basically destroyed by injuries — is taking a clear toll, and when the Lakers' season ends in April it would obviously be difficult for Bryant to keep things going through the Olympics in August. So he decided the best move would be let others carry the U.S. flag. "I want to walk off the court that last time," Bryant said, "as a Laker."

suspension to play in the season opener. Four plays later, unable to find an open receiver, Brady sprinted — sort of — for the corner of the end zone. The Chiefs managed to keep him out, but only for one more play. On the next snap, Brady leaned forward and reached into the end zone to make it 14-3. Patriots defensive lineman Chandler Jones forced Knile Davis’ fumble on the Chiefs’ first possession of the second half, then Brady added another touchdown pass to Gronkowski to make it 21-6. Smith had the Chiefs into New England territory on their first six possessions, but they managed just six points before he hit Albert Wilson on a 10-yard pass that made it 21-13. NOTES Jones started the game, six days after he wandered to the local police station, shirtless and confused. Police said his house reeked of burnt marijuana. ... The Patriots are 18-4 all-time in the playoffs at Gillette Stadium. ... Jon Bon Jovi, a friend of Patriots coach Bill Belichick, was in the owner’s box and led the stadium in a singalong of his band’s hit song “Livin’ on a Prayer.” ... Belichick reached the conference title game for the 10th time, tied with Tom Landry for most all-time.

the 5:15 mark. Cretton picked up a technical foul with five minutes remaining for stepping outside of the coaches’ box, which was followed by another technical on the team for having more than five players on the floor. Between the technical fouls and the fast-paced offense of the Hurricanes, it ended up being a 12-point loss for the Lady ‘Stangs when it was all said and done. They had six players that ended up with four points on the night, which included: Lauren Lay, Abbey Davis, Kayley Walker, Emily Anderson, Haley Jones and Alomar. The loss puts them to (3-3) in the district, as they will look to rebound on Tuesday against Cleveland. “We had a tough first half, came back in the third quarter and played well, but we just go through these spurts where we
can’t score. We’ve had nights where we can’t shoot well, but we can’t rely on that. [We’ve] got to play defense,” Cretton explained. He added, “The positive is that we are still (3-3) in the district, so we still hold our own destiny in our hands. We have Cleveland next week, so one time through we are still in it, and the second-place spot is up for grabs.” GAME SUMMARIES

This now puts the all-time series in Tennessee’s favor, 5-4. Along with getting a chance to shine on the gridiron, players also receive jerseys and rings as memorabilia. Ware was shocked and honored to even be invited to the Border Bowl, but he said it was bittersweet, considering it was his last high school football game. “I felt special. It was just a great experience overall in meeting new players and having great coaches around me,” Ware said. “I’m glad I went out the way I did in my high school career.” College plans are still undecided for Ware, but he has special interest in continuing his football career at Appalachian State, which he will decide upon in the near future. Now it’s back to basketball season for the multi-talented athlete, who is a guard for the 12-5 Bears, who are currently 50 in district play. “I’m ready to get back with my brothers and hopefully win regionals,” Ware stated.

"I'll be excited, she'll be excited," said Thomas, whose mother and grandmother were arrested and incarcerated when he was 11 years old and he had to go live with an uncle. DENVER DUO: Broncos passrushing partners DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller are healthy again just in time to chase down Roethlisberger. Ware will wear a brace on his left knee, the same one he used during his 20-sack season in Dallas, and Miller vows he won't be wolfing down any more mozzarella sticks at the movies after doing so forced him to miss Wednesday's workouts. He'd gone to see "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on his day off. "The Force struck back," Miller said.
oomph on the ball, throwing the ball deep, short, medium. ... So, I think he's looked like the Hall of Fame Peyton he's always looked like." REPLACING A.B.: Brown is out with a concussion courtesy of Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict, but with Martavis Bryant, Heath Miller and Markus Wheaton combining for 163 catches and 14 TDs, the Steelers are confident they'll carry on just fine. "We've got great wideouts," rookie Sammie Coates said. "We're going to go out there this weekend without our lead dog and we're going to fill in his shoes and make the plays we know we've got to make." PAYBACK TIME?: The Broncos are still smarting from their 34-27 loss at Pittsburgh last month when Roethlisberger capitalized on Denver's dearth of safeties, and Steelers center Cody Wallace speared David Bruton Jr. That drew a flag and a fine but no suspension, and the Broncos promised Wallace would pay the price next time they saw him. "It's not going to be anything as far as cheap or anything," Stewart said. "We're going to get them between the lines, between the plays, the whistle. So, I mean, he's going to be sore after the game." MOTHER & CHILD REUNION: Demaryius Thomas' mother will see him play in person for the first time Sunday.

ful, so we are proud of him being able to represent Tennessee. Bradley has a rich tradition of athletics, and he goes right along in there with it,” pointed out Bradley Central head coach Damon Floyd. At 6’1, 185 pounds, Ware made a lot of opposing coaches change their minds about throwing in his direction. “It’s funny; people really didn’t even try and test him on whatever side (of the field) he was on at corner. Really, he just shut down one side of the field for majority of our games,” Floyd explained. Not only does Ware excel on the field, but he also has shown that he conducts himself as a leader off the field. “Trevon did what he was supposed to do day in and day out. He worked hard, he was coachable, and we didn’t have to worry about him in the classroom,” Floyd added. Boyd-Buchanan head coach Grant Reynolds led the Tennessee team of all-star seniors as they got the 29-14 win over the Kentucky squad on Saturday.

STEWART'S CONDITIONING: Meanwhile, Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart makes his return after missing the last three games with a foot injury. Coach Ron Rivera said Stewart's foot is not a problem, but is a little concerned over his conditioning. Stewart, who averaged 18.6 carries per game in 13 games, said he'll be just fine and will do "whatever it takes" to be effective. STUNNING SUNDAYS: The Seahawks have done their fans little favor by playing cardiac playoff games on Sundays. Since the 2012 season, the Seahawks have played seven postseason games on Sundays. Five have been decided in the closing seconds, including last Sunday's victory over Minnesota. That stretch includes two NFC championship game victories and, of course, last season's Super Bowl loss to New England. The only two Sunday games during the stretch that didn't cause extra stress for Seattle fans: the 2012 divisional playoff win over Washington, and the Super Bowl blowout victory over Denver in February 2014. DEFENSIVE END DROUGHT: The Panthers finished with 44 sacks, sixth best in the league, but haven't gotten much production from their starting veteran defensive ends Charles Johnson and Jared Allen. They have combined for just three sacks this season. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he's more concerned about his defensive ends containing Russell Wilson this week than sacking him. "The thing we've got to understand is that if you've got to contain or you've got the outside rush, you've got to make sure you're in position to keep him on your inside," Rivera said. "You can't allow a guy like that to escape." WAGNER PLAYING: Seahawks

Trump strikes back at Cruz as Bush lands key endorsement NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — With two weeks to go until Iowans head to the polls in the first vote of the 2016 primary season, Republican front-runner Donald Trump ramped up his attacks against rival Ted Cruz on Friday, while Jeb Bush scored a key endorsement for his White House bid. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham announced he is backing Jeb Bush for the Republican presidential nomination, praising the former Florida governor’s approach to national security. “I have concluded without any hesitation, any doubt, that Jeb Bush is worthy to be commanderin-chief on day one,” Graham said Friday at a joint press conference with Bush. As South Carolina’s senior senator, Graham has been a coveted endorsement for some candidates running for the Republican nomination because he holds clout among establishment Republicans in South Carolina, one of the critical early voting primary states. Bush was initially considered a serious contender for the Republican nomination for president, but his campaign eventually lagged behind candidates like Trump and Cruz, who have each positioned themselves as anti-establishment alternatives. Graham launched his own presidential campaign last summer, but dropped out of the race last month having mustered little support in the polls. Graham noted that Bush was the lone candidate in Thursday’s debate to explicitly reject Trump’s continued call to indefinitely ban non-citizen Muslims from entering the United States. “The thing I admire most about
Jeb is that he has stayed true to who he is, that he hasn’t tried to get ahead in a contested primary by embracing demagoguery,” Graham said. “Donald Trump will damage the ability to grow this party. He will get creamed with Hispanics and young women,” Graham said. “Ted Cruz is an ideologue that has no ability, in my view, to bring the country together. So the top two guys, I think, would lose an election we can’t afford to lose.” Graham, 60, singled out another former rival, Sen. Marco Rubio, as “great on national security” and predicted Florida’s junior senator “will be president one day.” But Graham said the 44year-old isn’t ready. “We’re looking for the whole package here. At 44, I was not ready to be president of the United States.” Meanwhile, Trump went on the offensive Friday, calling Cruz “strident” and labeling his remarks about “New York values” in the GOP debate “disgraceful.” Appearing in an extended interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe from Des Moines, Iowa, Trump said Cruz “hurt himself” in Thursday’s debate with his sweeping remarks about the political ideologies of New Yorkers. Cruz said in the debate: “Everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro- gay-marriage, focus around money and the media.” At the debate, Trump countered with an emotional recounting of his hometown’s response to the Sept. 11 attacks. “When the World Trade Center came down, I saw something that

ture from the first one he released earlier this year. While that ad painted an alarming picture of a country under attack by jihadists and immigrants entering the country illegally, the new ad is much more traditional, featuring footage of Trump speaking at a recent rally in Lowell, Massachusetts. In the new ad, Trump runs through his central campaign platforms, including his vows to strengthen the country’s borders, “fix” it’s health care system and the military, and take better care of veterans. The ad will be airing in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, according to the
campaign. The Trump campaign is also giving out free tickets to the new movie, “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” The campaign has rented a theater in Iowa, for the free screening on Friday. The film depicts the events of the September 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. Several GOP presidential candidates have slammed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for her role before and after the attack in Benghazi, saying she knew from the start it was an act of terrorism.

A veteran local attorney on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to decide if Cruz’s birth to an American mother and Cuban father while they lived in Calgary violates the Constitution’s “natural born citizen” requirement. Cruz argues that because his mother is American, he became a U.S. citizen at birth. But the

Cruz called the story, originally published by the New York Times, a “hit piece.” More than two hours of primetime argument Thursday presented voters with a sharp contrast to the optimistic vision of America that President Barack Obama painted in his State of the Union address earlier this week. The debate was one of two final opportunities for the candidates to lay out their visions for the country ahead of the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses.
Democrats brace for a messy winter campaign Bush sees similarities in his foreign policy and those of his dad
WASHINGTON (AP) — There was a time when Democrats fretted about Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign becoming a coronation and leaving her without the tests of a primary season to prepare for a general election matchup against the Republican nominee. No one is worried about that anymore. In the past two weeks, the Democratic race has gone from a relatively civil disagreement over policy to a contentious winter competition between former Secretary of State Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton’s institutional strength and her support among the minority voters who make up a large portion of the party’s base still put her in a formidable position, even as polls show Sanders surging in Iowa and maintaining an edge in New Hampshire. But should Sanders prevail in those first two states on the 2016 campaign calendar, Clinton’s bid to succeed President Barack Obama may mean a much longer and messier path than her supporters once envisioned. It would plunge Democrats into the kind of primary fight they have gleefully watched Republicans struggle to contain in the past year. “You have to look at these numbers and say there’s a real race going on,” said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman. “It’s a race where Hillary Clinton has significant advantages in the long run. But it’s a real race.” The contest was certain to intensify this weekend, with the Democratic candidates gathering in Charleston, South Carolina, on Saturday night for a party dinner and the annual fish fry hosted by Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C. Then there’s the Sunday night debate, the final one before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1. The New Hampshire primary is Feb. 9. “I think it is a new phase of the campaign,” said Joel Benenson, Clinton’s chief campaign strategist. “We talked about how close this was going to be in (Iowa and New Hampshire). They always are historically and we’re ready to have this debate engaged.” In the past week, Clinton has shifted course in apparent response to Sanders’ strong poll results. She has stepped up her criticism of her rival, a self-

The new approach carries risks. Sanders is popular with liberals who are part of the coalition that Clinton will need to win the White House. Clinton and her supporters still remember her disappointing third-place finish in Iowa in 2008 against Obama. Clinton’s team has retooled her schedule to add stops in Iowa in the week ahead. The candidate has made neardaily television appearances where she has challenged Sanders’ stances on health care and gun control. Clinton and Sanders were each booked on four Sunday morning news shows. Her campaign said Saturday it was sending out top party representatives, including the mayors of Philadelphia and Atlanta, to campaign for her in Iowa. Former President Bill Clinton has been out making her case in early voting states, and daughter Chelsea Clinton has offered critical words about Sanders, leading to a back-and-forth over his health care plan. “They’re very afraid of a repeat in 2008 and they’re getting very aggressive,” said Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver. “I expect at any moment now they’ll go hard negative on us and we’re prepared for that. But we won’t

be negative on them.” Clinton has tried to dismiss Sanders’ proposals as unrealistic and disingenuous. She points to his 2005 vote for legislation giving gun manufactures immunity from lawsuits as a sign that the senator wouldn’t fight forcefully enough against powerful interest groups. Sunday’s debate is in the city where a 21-year-old white man shot and killed nine people attending a prayer service at an African-American church last summer. The setting may give Clinton a chance to confront Sanders on his past votes related to gun control. But in a campaign that has seen billionaire Donald Trump rise to the top of the Republican presidential field by capitalizing on an electorate angry with the political establishment, Clinton may once again be embracing the mantle of experience at a time when outsider status is in vogue. “What she’s trying to do is cast Bernie as, I don’t want to say a protest candidate, but as a message candidate against someone who is grounded in the reality of governance,” said former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod. “The danger is that you also make yourself an exponent of governance the way people see it today. “In an anti-establishment time,” Axelrod said, “you’re
essentially branding yourself as the establishment candidate.” The campaign could take a much tougher turn in the weeks ahead. Clinton’s campaign complained this past week when Sanders aired an ad that suggested Clinton wouldn’t be tough enough on Wall Street. That could clear the way for Clinton’s team to retaliate with its own critical advertising. After Iowa and New Hampshire, the calendar seemingly swings in Clinton’s favor. She has an edge in Nevada, the first caucus state with a significant segment of Latino voters, and in South Carolina, where black voters make up more than half of the electorate. From there, the campaign will play out in a series of Southern states holding contests on the March 1 “Super Tuesday” primaries, where African-American voters are pivotal. The question for Sanders is whether he can expand his support beyond the white voters who dominate the first two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. “If — and it’s a very big if — Bernie Sanders wins both Iowa and New Hampshire, there will be a lot of heartburn. There will be a lot of handwringing,” Mellman said. “But for him to win the nomination over the long term, he’s got to get beyond that base.”
Rubio jabs Republican leaders: Anger not enough JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) — In a swipe at the his party’s frontrunners, Republican White House hopeful Marco Rubio charged Saturday that anger alone isn’t enough to qualify someone to be president. “Being angry about the direction of our country by itself will not be enough,” the Florida senator said, as he courted Iowa voters ahead of the state’s Feb. 1
caucuses. “We also have to have someone for president who knows exactly what they’re going to do when they get there.” Rubio called out leading candidates, real-estate mogul Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, by name during a town hall-style meeting in Johnston, Iowa, the first of four scheduled campaign appearances Saturday. Trump and Cruz are surging in the polls,
in part, by successfully tapping into conservative anger about the direction of the country. In a debate this week, Trump declared that he “gladly” accepted “the mantle of anger.” “Obviously, I share the frustration that others have about the future of our country and where it’s headed. But I’m going to detail exactly what we’re going to do about it,” Rubio said.
“Donald hasn’t done that, whether it’s on national security or on the other issues. I think that’s a huge difference.” Rubio also condemned Senate colleague Cruz for supporting federal budgets that would decrease defense spending and for proposing a “European-style” value-added tax. Cruz’s tax plan, in particular, would “really hurt seniors,” Rubio said.
CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Jeb Bush believes he’s got the best prescription for American foreign policy, from his strategies for deterring North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, to destroying the Islamic State. However, unlike his rivals in the crowded 2016 Republican race for the White House, Bush’s foreign policy pitch comes with a caveat: He’s as much his own man, as he is a member of the Bush family. In an extended interview with The Associated Press, the former Florida governor praised the approach of his father, former President George H.W. Bush, who built a broad coalition to wage the Persian Gulf War, and mobilized U.S. military might to drive Iraq out of Kuwait. Jeb Bush says the aggressive military policy he would pursue as President Barack Obama’s successor would signal to the world “we’re back in the game.” While he said he would seek the advice of his brother, former President George W. Bush, in foreign affairs, especially on the Middle East, a Jeb Bush doctrine would more closely resemble that of Bush the father. “It was a very successful foreign policy and one that I think one could envision a bipartisan consensus emerging around,” Jeb Bush said of his father’s approach, “and one the American people could support.” He speaks of using military intervention “sparingly” but with “awesome force,” taking a page out of the playbook of Colin Powell, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under his father and as his brother’s first secretary of state. Powell laid out a doctrine of “overwhelming force” which he applied in the 1990 Gulf War. But Jeb Bush stresses the need for a military and political strategy to play out hand-in-hand. “The one ingredient that I think is so essential is to not just have a military exit strategy, but have a political strategy not create another void that has to be filled again...where we have to respond again to that void being filled,” he said. “Syria is a good example of that.” When Obama leaves office in a year, he’ll hand his successor military conflicts in the two countries in which he vowed to end prolonged wars:
Afghanistan and Iraq. There will be far fewer troops in each, and the American forces there do not have a direct combat role. But for Obama, a quest to end the two wars he inherited from George W. Bush’s administration will go unfulfilled. While the war in Afghanistan was widely viewed as retaliation for the September 11th attacks, the 2003 U.S.-led war in Iraq received widespread condemnation as it aimed to destroy weapons of mass destruction that were never found. U.S. troops were withdrawn from Iraq in late 2011, despite failed last-minute negotiations between the Obama administration and the Iraqi government to leave some behind. Some viewed the withdrawal as an end to a dark legacy in U.S. foreign policy, while others say it created the security vacuum which ultimately gave rise of the Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. Still, while Jeb Bush urges a forceful stance against Islamic extremism, his rhetoric has been far more subdued to that of some of his rivals — among them, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who vowed to carpet bomb areas in which the Islamic State operates, suggesting civilians would be caught in that campaign; and billionaire Donald Trump, who vowed to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States to prevent attacks — comments that sparked widespread international condemnation. At Thursday’s debate, for example, he cautioned that America shouldn’t be “the world’s policeman” but that it should take measures to protect its own national interest and its allies. He was the only Republican candidate to denounce Trump’s proposal at Thursday’s Republican debate, noting that the United States needs support from Muslim nations such as Egypt and Jordan to move on the Islamic State. While he continues to lag behind some of his more outspoken rivals in the polls, his comments may have earned him the coveted endorsement of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who said Friday that Jeb Bush “has stayed true to who he is (and) hasn’t tried to get ahead in a contested primary by embracing demagoguery.”

Thankfulness has boundaries Dear Dave, My fiancé and I are getting married in May. He’s a youth pastor, and I’m in grad school. His mom and dad found a home they think we’ll like, and they want to gift us money for a down payment. I’m not sure how I feel about this under our present circumstances. Do you think we should go ahead and accept when I’ll still be in school and we’ll still have debt to pay off? — Emily Dear Emily, You need to get to know each other before you buy a house together. I always recommend that young couples rent for a year and concentrate on each other, the new marriage, cleaning up any debts you have, and establishing an emergency fund. Then, after another year or so when you’ve had time to take control of your finances, the idea of looking for a home becomes much smarter. It sounds like your future inlaws are really generous people. They’re trying to do something nice for you two, but they kind of got out ahead of things with this idea. And in the process, they violated some boundaries in your relationship with your fiancé. My advice is to have a conversation with your fiancé about all this and get on the same page about what is the smart thing to do. Then the two of you need to have a loving discussion with his parents. Let him do most of the talking, and say thank you a lot, but let them know you both feel it would be best to start out by renting something for a year or so.

Dave Says
Dave Ramsey an allowance? — Dan Dear Dan, There’s never a time for an allowance, no matter the child’s age. In my mind, that kind of thinking is the best way to plant the seeds of entitlement. You want your son growing up with the idea that he’s owed money simply because he’s alive. Instead, work out a plan to pay him commissions. Assign him weekly chores that are age-appropriate. Then, when the work gets done, he gets paid. And guess what? If the work doesn’t get done, he doesn’t get paid! Not only do we want to teach a healthy work ethic, but we also want him to learn that work creates money. Of course, there are some things a child should be expected to do without financial reward. Everyone needs to pitch in and do certain things to help out when they’re part of a family. But once you’ve taught him about work, make sure to also teach him about the three uses for money—saving, spending, and giving. Lessons on the basic handling of money are some of the best teachable moments you can have with your child. Not only does it make them more knowledgeable about finances, it helps them learn about life! — Dave ——— (Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business as well as the CEO of Ramsey Solutions.

Bradley County’s Marion Baine has endured some tough times over the past two years, but a visit to the South Food City store last week was a happy event. Baine was the winner of 52 weeks of free groceries, which includes any other store merchandise. Her name was selected in a random drawing among entries from all 29 Bi-Lo stores Food City purchased in 2015 in Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia. Baine, 74, was presented with 52 gift certificates for $100 each from South Food City Store Manager Mitchell Cochran and Food City District Manager Rodney Dillard. A number of staff members also attended the celebration, with a congratulatory cake and coffee. She was notified of her win in a telephone call from Lisa Johnson in Food City’s corporate offices. “This is really nice,” said Baine at the presentation, as she added that she was tickled to be the recipient of the gift certificate. Baine lost her husband, Jean Hershell Baine, two years ago on Aug. 28. Last year she lost her son, Richard, on Aug. 29. She came to the U.S. in 1960 from Germany, then met her future husband at Fort Campbell. They were married in 1962, then moved to Bradley County and had a poultry operation for years. Her husband was originally from Sweetwater. The presentation this week was
Century 21 First Choice Realtors has announced that Tana King has joined its firm as a sales associate. She will specialize in residential property sales in the East Tennessee area. “We are thrilled to have Tana join our team,” said Teresa Vincent of Century 221. “It’s an exciting time to be with the Century 21 system as we increase our market presence in East Tennessee.” King just successfully completed extensive training and licensing through TREES (Tennessee Real Estate Educational System) Inc. This is a 60-hour affiliate broker preli-
cense course and 30-hour new affiliates course. “We believe training supports growth and professional excellence in the real estate industry,” Vincent added. “Performancebased training is necessary to assure associates maintain their competitive edge and offer the best service possible to their clients.” King was born and raised in Cleveland. She is married to David King, and they have two children, Tishauna Hoffman and Chris King. They enjoy spending time with their grandchildren, Brayden and Caleb Hoffman, and Brodie King. They attend First Baptist Church.
also a reunion for Baine and store manager Cochran. She worked as a cashier for Cochran in 1978 when he managed a Red Food store where Sav-A-Lot is now located on Keith Street. She was a very busy person at that time. In addition to the poultry operation she and her husband had, she was a substitute teacher at Bradley High School, was attending Cleveland State Community College in pursuit of a degree in computer science, and working as a cashier at the Red Food store.
She later worked at Bradley Bookkeeping, retiring in 1980. Despite her personal losses over the past two years, she has remained busy. She and her daughter, Angie Bundy, and grand-daughter, Megan Pickering, are operating a beef cattle farm on Hughes Lake Road. She said they have about 30 head of cattle. The two younger ladies are both nurses. Megan is employed at Tennova in Cleveland, and her mother works in Chattanooga. Marion was accompanied to this week’s presentation by her
brother, Gert, of Fort Wayne, Ind. The prize winner said she was going to use some of her gift certificates to assist others. “I’ve been blessed,” she said. She said she may have a meal for some less-fortunate friends, and may assist some Cleveland and/or Bradley County services agencies. In all, it was a very fun experience for Bradley County’s Marion Baine. Perhaps fate rewarded her for the time she spent as a grocery store cashier those many years ago.

Seated from left are Kent Firestone, stepfather, Wyatt Firestone, brother, Wendy Firestone, mother, Gunner Norwood, Nicky Norwood, father, and Garren Norwood, brother.

Norwood set to throw for Cougars By SARALYN NORKUS Banner Sports Writer
Having gotten his first taste of baseball at Cleveland State as a youngster, it seems only natural that Bradley Central pitcher Gunner Norwood has chosen to sign with the Cougars. “It’s real close to home, and I’ve grown up around it my whole life,” Norwood explained. “It’s a lot of stress off of my shoulders, and I’m ready to get after it.” Cleveland State coach Mike Policastro said signing local talent is always a plus. His connection to Norwood’s family made the signing even more special. “It’s always good to pick up a quality local player. I’ve known Gunner for a long time and saw him progress through high school and summer ball. I feel like he’ll be able to come in and do a really good job for us,” Policastro commented. “He’s a solid kid from a great family. I’ve known his family for years; his mom (Wendy) used to work for me at Cleveland State. We’re excited to have him come in.” The right-handed pitcher, who bats left=handed, also spends time at first base for the Bears. Bradley coach Travis Adams is pleased with Norwood’s decision to continue his career with the Cougars.
“I think it’s a good decision on his part. It’s a good place to go grow and continue building (his skills),” Adams explained. “Obviously it’s a big step, but he’s got enough in the tank to get there once he gets his feet in the ground. In college they’re going to hit a fast ball, so he’ll have to develop his secondary stuff a little bit more, but everyone has to do that.” Adams said Norwood will be at the top of the pitching rotation this year for the Bears. “He was actually pushing for that role last year. He’s going to have to carry a pretty big load this year,” the Bradley coach said. “Gunner is a kid that competes in and out. He hits his spots very well and can change speeds on people. He‘s a tall, rangy kid, so that ball comes from a lot of different angles.” In 31 innings pitched for the Bears, Norwood had a 2.94 ERA and 2-1 record. He struck out 44 and had 13 earned runs. Having watched Norwood’s development over the years, Policastro feels that he will just keep getting better. “He has all the tangibles — size, strength and arm strength. Now, it’s just a matter of finetuning things — being in the strike zone and making secondary pitches a little crisper and cleaner,” the Cougars coach commented.

From Lee Sports Information Lee University baseball coach Mark Brew has announced that Richie Goodenow has agreed to become the new pitching coach for his Flames. Goodenow replaces coach Drew French who recently accepted a position with the Houston Astros organization. Goodenow is a former lefthanded pitcher for the powerful Vanderbilt University baseball program and also spent one season at Lipscomb University. He received a degree in Sociology at Vandy and a Master's Degree in C o n f l i c t Management/Negotiation from Lipscomb. During the 2010 NCAA Regional, Goodenow was named the MVP after hurling a 2-hit shutout against the University of Louisville. Also in 2010, he paced the Commodores in appearances (31) and in 44.1 innings, he recorded 47 strikeouts and only issued 12 walks. "We are really excited for coach French and this new opportunity with the Astros organization," said coach Brew. "He did an excellent job with our staff over the last 2 ½ years. We wish him the best as he and wife Kate enter this new challenge in their lives." With the Lee baseball season opening the first week in February, the Lee coach wasted no time in hiring Goodenow, who had spent the fall coaching at the University of Dubuque (Iowa). "We are very pleased to have
Goodenow found a pitching coach of Richie's caliber in the middle of the year," noted Brew. "He came very highly recommended from coaches I respect immensely. His knowledge-base is excellent and he is a well-respected young coach. His blue-collar work ethic and how much he has improved as a pitching coach in a short period of time are some of the things that attracted me most." Brew added, "Coach Goodenow fits well into the culture of excellence in our program and university. I look forward to working alongside him as he and wife Lesley join the Lee University family and Cleveland community." Goodenow said he the opportunity to become a Lee coach was "unbelievable. "I grew up in the southeast (Nashville) and played
baseball in this region. I look forward to working with coach Brew and (Justin) Dedman. They have a great set-up here and I feel like we are ready to win championships. Goodenow said his wife had family in the Chattanooga. "I really like Cleveland," he added. "I have actually played in this park (Olympic Field) a few times. When coach Brew contacted me, I didn't waste any time throwing my hat into the ring." The new pitching coach has already began working with his crop of Lee pitchers. "I've shown them a few different things and they have shown a willingness to learn. I feel like I learned under the best at Vandy. I'm excited to be working with this group. They want to be a part of a winning team. We have some good arms and I feel like they already know they will have to bring it every day." The Flames will officially open the 2016 season when they host Albany State (Ga.) on Feb. 6 at Olympic Field.

This led him to sing in church choirs, school musicals and in a small band with some friends. He took his love for music which ranged from Andy Williams to Elton John, and applied these numerous musical styles to develop his own personal delivery and method of communication. His faith played a crucial role in the shaping of his musical tal-
ents. From the early days of lawn-mowing solos, God opened doors and allowed his ministry to flourish. Richesin has performed on the same stage with Bill and Gloria Gaither, Andre Crouch and Jerry Reed.

Author Charles Fletcher writes about the ‘good old days’ By BETTIE MARLOWE Banner Staff Writer
In his new release, “A Story and A Smile,” Charles C. Fletcher gives the reader 27 stories — “which may or may not be related to each other.” Only a few, he says, are related to the same subject. These stories — a mixture of fiction and history — come from events and stories Fletcher saw or heard while growing up in the mountains of western North Carolina. At age 93, Fletcher says he remembers the stories of everyday events and they are written to “bring a smile to your face.” His intention is to document the events for future generations. He begins his 173-page book with a story from the 1930s about the traveling medicine show that came to the mountain town of Canton, North Carolina, once a year. “The Medicine Man” promoted his “miracle medicine” with a one-man band and a guarantee the medicine will do everything “I say it will do.” No one noticed (except Charles’ dad) it was 50 percent alcohol and 50 percent spring water. One of Fletcher’s favorite stories is “Teacher’s Pet” which took place in the 1930s. You’ll have to read it to understand why fourth-grader Fletcher’s grades dropped and he was moved to the rear of the classroom. Anyone remember chestnuts? He talks about daily life in a matter-of-fact way, describing the “Saturday Night Bath,” “The Possum Dinner,” “An Airplane Ride,” “Trading Cows” and “Hog Killing Time.” It’s like sitting on the front porch just rocking and remembering. Fletcher began his writing of books to document the legacies of life, he says, as he knew it in 1930s and in the later years of my life. He says that when reading his books, readers should take into account that he does not con-

sider himself an author or a writer, but a “storyteller” as were most all of the people who lived in the mountains of Western North Carolina before, during and after the Great Depression of the 1930s. The younger generation who came along after World War II were not exposed to these storytellers, he says, and “have no idea of what life was like during what we old-timers like to call ‘the good old days.’” These stories, Fletcher explains, are based on actual events as he remembers them. Because of his age (almost 94), he says he sometimes has to tax his mind to remember what happened in the 1930s. “I tell these stories to make the younger generation of today aware of the hardships we older people faced in getting to this point in our lives. What you read in these stories is a part of what aunts, uncles, grandpas, grandmas and all the others not having all the modern things we have today experienced. “If I did not record these events of my life, they would be lost forever. My hope is that, in reading my stories, young people will learn about the past and people will refresh their memories of ‘the good old days.’” Fletcher’s other books include “Out West and Back,” “The Panther on Cold Mountain and Other Stories,” “Little Sam Mountain,” “Little Sam Mountain — The Journey,” “The Sheriff,” “Grassy Top Mountain” and “Little Sam Mountain — Living Their Dream.” ——— EDITOR’S NOTE: His books are available from Ingram, Amazon.com, Baker & Taylor, Barnes & Noble, or directly from the author: Charles C.

Tamika Johnson writes about ‘Seeing God’s Greatness’ By BETTIE MARLOWE Banner Staff Writer
Wherever God leads her, Tamika Johnson says that’s where she wants to go. Born in Cleveland to Patricia Ragsdale Runyon and Roscoe L. Johnson Jr., she always felt she had a Godgiven prophetic gift as a spoken word artist. Her grandfather was Eugene Runyon. “My hunger,” she confided, “lies in writing poetry.” And this was manifested at the young age, writing poems when she was only 7 or 8 years old. Later, her poems were obituaries at the requests of families and funeral homes. Since her father was in the military, the family did a lot of
traveling, she said — “I was a military brat.” After finishing high school in Petersburg, Virginia, in 1992, she graduated from St. Augustine’s College/University with a bachelor’s degree in mass communication. She earned her master’s degree in communication from Southern New Hampshire University. The poet, writer and mother of two worked in public housing, but never got away from her call into ministry. And on Sept. 15, 2015, Johnson began her she calls her “faith walk.” Her daughter, Najah, is 12 and her son, Kyson, is 3. “Both are blessings to me,” she said.

Easy tips for making a tastier — healthier — turkey chili Family works By Rob Coombs ID. Min. Ph.D.
Speaking on change Is there anything about yourself that you would like to change? Few people, if any, would answer “no” to this question. As the late Fred Rogers of “Mister Rogers” fame pointed out, “Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.” The process of change is far from easy. Becoming the person we really want to be is a lifetime process that demands courage, determination and persistence — especially persistence. Because change is a process, often a very gradual process, we must be patient with ourselves and with others who are attempting to make a positive change. Most often change involves a few baby steps forward, a step backward, a few more baby steps forward and so on. Without question these steps become increasingly more difficult because the length of time previously spent on any task, habit, or skill makes it more difficult to do it differently. Two individuals, Prochaska and DiClemente, have spent years studying change and postulate five distinct, yet dynamic, stages that are involved in the change process. Their research reveals how people move through these established stages from one to the other, but also can move in and out of stages, depending on a variety of circumstances and the specific nature of the area they are seeking to change. Although there are thousands of possible examples, changing from being a
smoker to a nonsmoker provides a clear illustration as to how their five-stage process of change works. 1. Pre-contemplation Stage: The smoker smokes without considering quitting. Although he might not like the habit, complain about the cost of cigarettes, and tolerate the nagging of others who don’t like breathing his fumes, he doesn’t seriously contemplate not smoking. 2. Contemplation Stage: The smoker consciously begins contemplating not smoking, but he isn’t ready to actually quit. Instead he sets up a projected time for quitting, say in six months. 3. Preparation: The smoker begins making active plans to quit smoking, sometimes even following through with at least one attempt to quit. 4. Action: The smoker finds a regimen of treatment that works for him. This might involve such actions as wearing a nicotine patch or joining a support group. 5. Maintenance: The smoker maintains abstinence for a specific time period after treatment, long enough to begin viewing himself as a nonsmoker. This five-stage model of change is helpful for understanding yourself and others who are seeking to change. As this model illustrates, readiness of the individual to make a change is absolutely essential for change to take place. This is why attempts to change others are destined to failure. In final analysis, the only person you can change is yourself.

Everyone has a favorite chili recipe, and this is the time of year to break out yours, invite over some friends and yell at football players on TV. Maybe it’s time to try a new, healthier recipe, too? Chili is classic American comfort food, so we automatically assume that it can’t be healthy. But since it is so darned tasty, it’s worth the price of admission to try. And while I’m not against the occasional indulgence, I also love a recipe that manages to be both comforting and healthy. Enter my game day turkey chili. Stay with me, here. This will not be your typical turkey chili because I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good turkey chili. But they do occupy a special place in the stratified chili eco-system. Put them in a chili competition and you’ll see they land well below the fatty brisket chilies that feature tiny puddles of tasty melted fat that pleasantly coat the palate. Turkey chili, if I’m honest, has been relegated to the “at least it’s hot” status for too long. Here are my tricks. First, make it a red chili. White chili step aside for a moment. The red part comes from tomato, which is healthy, and frankly just feels like comfort food. Second, skip the salt. Instead, use soy sauce directly on the meat after cooking it. This is perhaps the greatest tip I can give you regarding ground turkey! White-ish meat in a deep red chili looks a little strange. You are reminded that you are eating The Healthy Turkey Chili. But deepen that meat color just a little with the soy sauce and you are back in the land of Real Meaty Chili. The soy sauce also adds tons of rich, savory meaty flavor, a big benefit for a meat that can taste a little flat.

Everyone has a favorite chili recipe, and this is the time of year to break out yours, invite some friends over and yell at some football players on TV. Final tip: Add a bit of unsweetened cocoa powder, which deepens both the color and the flavor. This is turkey chili done right! And so, 2016 is off to a good start. ——— GAME DAY TURKEY CHILI Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 8 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided 1 pound lean ground turkey 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 teaspoons smoked paprika 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 1 red bell pepper, cored and finely chopped 12-ounce light beer Two 15-ounce cans low-sodi-
um black beans, drained and rinsed 14-ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce Two 14-ounce cans crushed tomatoes 2 tablespoons chili powder Dash of cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon cocoa powder Hot sauce, to taste Plain low-fat Greek yogurt, to serve Chopped scallions, to serve Shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese, to serve In a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot over medium-high, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up, until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle the turkey with the soy sauce and smoked
paprika, then mix until well-coated. Continue to cook until any moisture in the pot is gone, about 3 minutes. Spoon the meat out of the pan and set aside. Return the pot to the heat and add the remaining oil. Add the onion and red pepper, then cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, then add the beer to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to loosen any stuck bits. Simmer for 2 minutes. Return the meat to the pot, along with the beans, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cayenne and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, then simmer for 30 minutes. Serve with hot sauce, yogurt, scallions and cheese on the side.

Finger Lakes ice wine harvest late this winter BRANCHPORT, N.Y. (AP) — Winter finally came down hard on New York’s Finger Lakes this month with single-digit temperatures at dawn and snow blowing over the rolling vineyards. Grapes are left on the vine through at least though the fall. When temperatures get cold enough to freeze the water in the

grapes, winemakers pounce. The slushy grapes yield a more concentrated juice. The resulting wine is sweeter, heavier and often pricier. Ice wine is big in Canada, but it remains a small niche in the multi-billion U.S. wine industry, confined mostly to upstate New York, Ohio and Michigan.
Gardening delivers produce that is tastier, cheaper and safer than store-bought, right? Well, not necessarily safer. “There’s always the potential from contamination, whether you grow your own food or buy it at the market,” said Marisa Bunning, an extension food safety specialist at Colorado State University. “You know more about (food safety) and have more control over it with a home garden, but animals have more access to your yard than with specialty crops grown on farms,” she said. “Not only wildlife, but pets.” Most food-borne illnesses are infections caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. There’s also a danger from toxins or chemical contaminants. “Many food-borne pathogens also can be acquired through recreational or drinking water, through contact with animals or their environment, or through person-to-person spread,” the agency says. E. coli and salmonella are the most frequently reported foodborne illnesses. Symptoms include diarrhea and vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever and joint pain. Severity depends upon an individual’s health, but children and the elderly comprise the highest risk groups, accord-
ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Food safety specialists recommend guarding against contamination from field to fork. That means minimizing hazards in the garden and being careful when handling food in the kitchen. Some guidelines: — Choose the right garden location, especially in cities, Bunning said. “Avoid areas near septic tanks or runoff and aerosols from contaminated irrigation systems,” she said. “Septic tanks or reservoirs could be leaking.” — Use only potable water for your produce. Groundwater from wells (the deeper the better) is generally safer than water from streams or ponds. Drip systems are better than sprinklers for avoiding direct water contact with edibles like leafy greens growing above the soil. — Manage manure and compost properly.

Burberry gets close to the audience at London Fashion Week LONDON (AP) — The Burberry showcase is the highlight of any London Fashion Week, and with good reason. Guests and journalists alike can always expect an impressive production, a well-chosen live musician, a roster of international stars just jetting in for the show, a line-up of well-designed clothes and a bit of a twist. At the fall-winter 2016 menswear presentation, the catwalk crisscrossed the venue in meandering paths that met at the music stand in the middle, where Benjamin Clementine played a sorrowful, heartstopping live set. “I wanted there to be more intimacy. There is something very artificial about a runway show and I wanted people to get closer to the clothes,” said Chief Creative and chief executive officer Christopher Bailey. “I wanted the whole mood to be a little more gentle and a little bit more serene.” But the ace in the sleeve was the inclusion in the model line-up of Chinese superstar Kris Wu, a former K-pop idol currently shooting Luc Besson’s latest film. Guest stars including Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen; musicians Mark Ronson, Tinie Tempah and Jack Garratt; Brooklyn
Beckham; and South Korean actor Lee Jong-suk looked on as the models sported a deliberate luxe casual look through and through. Bailey said the company tried to marry the sartorial with the functional in a bid to be more “honest about who we are as a company.” “We were born from a trench coat, and we had on the runway trench coats that were from the 1930s ... and also pieces that we had designed 3 days ago and for me it is that type of blending of these different worlds.” Military coats, duffle coats and even re-issued trench coats and a variety of jackets were overlaid with casual polo shirts and track suits, which came in both matte and sequined versions. A lone long-haired grey fox fur coat made an almost dissonant note of unchecked extravagance until one noticed the military red track suit top underneath. The classic Burberry geometry made a discreet appearance on scarves and the outerwear. In honor of David Bowie, whose death was reported earlier in the morning, some models sported glittery makeup, while some had written AP photo “Bowie” across their open palms.

CHS graduate selected as head of Kirk Day School in St. Louis Special to the Banner
Taylor Clement, son of Marcia and Manson Clement, has recently accepted a position as head of the Kirk Day School in St. Louis. The school serves families from more than 30 ZIP codes with children from several famous families. Clement graduated from Cleveland High School in 2003 with honors, and went to Samford University in Birmingham, where he also graduated with honors and was president of the student body. He earned his master’s degree at David Lipscomb University in Nashville. The school’s search committee, whose job it was to fill the position of Head of School of Kirk Day School, did an extensive nationwide search over several months before offering Clement the position. Clement began his role as head of school the fall of 2015 after filling school leadership roles in Nashville. He has taught high school history previously and served as dean of students and as assistant head of an elementary school which he describes as similar in values and mission to Kirk. Perfect ACT scores, national merit scholars, valedictorians and class presidents are not uncommon among the ranks of Kirk Day School alumni, says the new head of the school. “It’s exciting to know that what we do here works,” Clement says of the West
Taylor Clement County elementary school. “We’re seeing kids have a desire and striving for something greater, and they’re experiencing those successes.” The independent Christian elementary school for students in preschool through sixth grade ranks in the top 10 percent of Christian educational institutions in America, according to Christian Schools International. Many of its students go on to prestigious college preparatory high schools. Clement says it’s been a good fit. “Kirk Day School has a phenomenal foundation in its curriculum and teachers. The traditions here are absolutely solid, and it’s poised well to grow in the future. I’m excited to be able to be a part of that.”
Tim Lowry
The Cleveland Storytelling Guild, along with the Allied Arts Council of the Cleveland Bradley Chamber of Commerce, will present the 21st annual Ocoee Story Fest on Feb. 5 in the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian Church, 433 North Ocoee St. The featured storyteller for this year’s festival is Tim Lowry. For 15 years, Lowry has been telling stories of “The People, by the People and for the People.” With a Southern manner and a droll side-wit, Lowry is equally at home in an Appalachian log
cabin, a Mandan wigwam, a New York theater, a Texas ranch house, or a South Carolina plantation. As a proud ambassador from the Sweet Tea Trail in Summerville, South Carolina, he carries genuine Southern hospitality to audiences everywhere. Lowry has appeared at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, the Toe River Storytelling Festival in North Carolina and the Charleston Tells Festival in South Carolina, along with other festivals, schools and venues from
Book review
Children’s books on class and Winnie the Pooh win prizes NEW YORK (AP) — Matt de la Pena’s and Christian Robinson’s “Last Stop on Market Street” nearly made history twice Monday. The illustrated exploration of race and class through the eyes of a boy and his grandmother won the Newbery Medal for the best children’s book of 2015, making de la Pena the first Hispanic writer to receive the 94-year-old prize, one of the most cherished among children’s writers. It came close to another rare coup by finishing as a runnerup for the Caldecott Medal for the top illustrated book. “I hope all the brilliant Hispanic writers of the past and present view this as a recognition of our diverse community and that it inspires young Hispanics coming up to read their way through the world and consider a path in the arts,” de la Pena said in a statement released through his publisher, Penguin Young Readers. The winner of the Caldecott Medal was “Finding Winnie,” the story behind A.A. Milne’s famous literary creation Winnie the Pooh, illustrated by Sophie Blackall and written by Lindsay Mattick.
The Newbery and Caldecott awards were announced by the American Library Association, which has gathered in Boston for its annual midwinter meeting. Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World and Me,” winner last fall of the National Book Award, was among 10 recipients of the Alex prize for adult books that appeal to teen readers. Coates’ book is an open letter to his teenage son about racism and police violence. The association also handed out two lifetime achievement awards for a former Caldecott winner, the illustrator Jerry Pinckney. Another lifetime achievement honor was given to novelist David Levithan, who works as editorial director at Scholastic. Rita Williams-Garcia won her second Coretta Scott King Award in three years for the best book by a black writer. Williams-Garcia was cited for “Gone Crazy in Alabama,” the third of a trilogy about the Gaither sisters. Laura Ruby’s “Bone Gap” won the Michael L. Printz Award for excellence in literature written for young adults. The Belpre award for best
Latino/Latina book was given to “Enchanted Air: Two Cultures, Two Wings: A Memoir,” written by Margarita Engle. Rafael
‘Melinda Doolittle’ wraps up AACA’s Black Box concerts tured on five studio albums, including her sophomore release “You’re The Reason.” Her latest album, “It Must Be Love,” offers listeners a true glimpse into Doolittle as an artist, as she wrote half of the songs on the album. She told the Hollywood Reporter that she approached the album “from the aspect of love — it’s what shapes my life daily. I wanted to be transparent and honest.” The concert is a part of an “Arts Hop,” where the public is invited to attend two arts events. Prior to the concert, the public is invited to an exhibit opening reception for “Fresh Perspectives,” by watercolor students of The Arts Center from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday at The McMinn County Living Heritage Museum, 522 W.

Hints from Heloise
New Year pet checkup Dear Heloise: I start the New Year off with a “checkup” of my pets. I give them all a once-over by looking for lumps and bumps or anything questionable on their bodies. Paws are next, then I look at their mouth and teeth, and peek inside ears. My dogs are getting up there in years, and I want to keep them as healthy as possible. — Owned by three spoiled dogs, via text Your pups are lucky to have you taking care of them. It’s important to check them, especially teeth and ears, as they can get infected and you may not discover it for a while. Cats are a whole other story!
They may hide a medical condition, so do give them a checkup (if they will let you) two to three times a year. Birds and fish are, well, birds and fish! Watch and observe them closely, since a change in behavior, eating, etc., needs to be taken care of ASAP. Don’t wait — it may be too late. — Heloise
Clean clay Dear Heloise: I need to clean the lime deposits from clay pots that hold my plants. I’ve tried commercial lime removers and vinegar, and it comes right back. What is the solution? — Joyce S. in Lake Wales, Fla. If the white stuff keeps coming back, then it’s probably leaching

Connecticut to California. In the days leading up to Friday evening’s storytelling concert, Lowry will appear in local schools through funding from the Arts in Education committee of the Allied Arts Council of the Cleveland Bradley Chamber of Commerce. The Friday evening concert at the First Presbyterian Church will begin at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 per person, with a family maximum of $15. For more information, contact Judy Baker at tellone@bellsouth.net.
No more snow Dear Heloise: Here’s a winter tip for removing snow from steps: Use a child’s snow shovel! It is more maneuverable (smaller and lighter weight) for removing snow from small, awkward spaces. Just slide it across the steps to push the snow. — Melinda B. in Mechanicsburg, Pa.
Coffee filters for cats Dear Heloise: I use small coffee filters in our cat bowls. We only use dry food, but it still makes cleanup much easier. With four cats, it saves bowlwashing time. — Alice H. in Jacksonville, Ark. Alice, you are brilliant! I thought I’d heard every hint under the sun to use paper coffee filters! This is a new one for me, congratulations! As long as they don’t eat the paper. Our dogs, Chammy and Henry VIII, would probably take the filters out the doggie door! — Heloise © 2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Sandhill Crane Cruises on the River Gorge Explorer extended
rides Miller — Blackburn Chelsie Blackburn of Cleveland and Eric Miller of Goshen, Indiana, were united in marriage on Nov. 14, 2015, in an afternoon ceremony at Tennessee River Place in Chattanooga. Their wedding was coordinated by Zandra Welch, who coordinated the wedding of the bride’s parents 28 years ago. The bride is the daughter of Alan and Traci Blackburn of Cleveland. She is the granddaughter of Johnny and Gayle Brewer of Cleveland, Joyce Blackburn, also of Cleveland, and the late James W. Blackburn. The Bridegroom is the son of Don and Carol Miller of Goshen. He is the grandson of the late Amos and Mary Miller, Otis Mast of Macon, Mississippi, and the late Anna Mae Mast. The wedding was officiated by Dr. Jamison Work, pastor of Candies Creek Baptist Church. Nuptial music was provided by Reid Work, JB Hospitaller, Ryan Torrey and Mary Kate Work. Raul Catena of the Dominican Republic was speaker. The bride was presented in marriage by her parents and attended by Mary Kate Work of Tennessee as maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Lydia Latinians of Ohio, Lauren Carroll of Tennessee, Brandi Roberson of Alabama, Rachel Snider of New York, Jessica Pace of Michigan and Lacee Rasar of Tennessee. Junior bridesmaids were cousins of the bride, McKenzie Brewer and Makayla Brewer, both of Tennessee. Eric Holley of Indiana was best man to the bridegroom. Groomsmen included the bridegroom’s brother Brad Miller of Indiana, Chad Miller of Indiana,
mr. and mrs. eric miller Grey Huston of Ohio, Broddy Pape and Ruben Headmen, both of The Dominican Republic, and the bride’s brother Jake Blackburn of Tennessee. Chase Morrow and Daniel Hill were ushers. Flower girls were Ava LaRue, Anaya Scoggins and Brooklyn Miller. Micah LaRue was ring bearer. The reception was given by the bride's parents at the Tennessee River Place and was catered by Clyde Rush, who is over the Culinary Arts Department at Cleveland High School. Decorations were coordinated by friends Tina McCracken and Lori Stafford, who are with Bradley County schools. The bride's book was attended by Meredith Matson and Summer Smith. After a wedding trip to Spruce Pine, North Carolina, the newlywed couple will reside in Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic, where they met originally.
Chattanooga — One more weekend has been given to Enjoy Eco-Cruises in the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge. The Tennessee Aquarium is adding six new Sandhill Crane Cruises to give bird lovers more opportunities to enjoy cruising in the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge. The additional cruises are scheduled at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Jan. 22, 23 and 24. “The response to these ecocruises has been overwhelming,” said Don Walker, the aquarium’s director of guest services. “Our crew enjoys these excursions as much as our guests and they’re thrilled to spend another weekend in the refuge.” Along with the migrating sandhill cranes, numerous bald eagle sightings have occurred during each trip. “This past weekend we spotted 20 to 30 eagles on each cruise,” said Aquarium naturalist John Dever. “Many of them were juveniles, but we have had some great sightings of adult pairs together on the mud flats and osprey platforms.” The crew has also had a lot of luck spotting white pelicans on each trip. These migratory birds have the longest wingspan of any bird in North America. They visit the refuge during roughly the same period as the sandhill cranes, from late November through early March. White pelicans breed inland, many near Yellowstone National Park. “We’ve seen groups of four or five, to larger flocks of more than 20 individuals,” said Dever. “Hooded mergansers,

Every trip is different and that’s why I love it.” Sandhill cranes have been abundant in Tennessee, but their numbers have been lower so far this year compared to pre-
vious years. They are still very visible in the Hiwassee Refuge and more may be on the way. “It has been relatively warm in the Upper Midwest, so the cranes have been slower to make their way south this year,” said Kevin Calhoon, the aquarium’s assistant curator of forests. “But now

Food A super Bowl mind meld: Guac and potato skins in one bite! By Alison Ladman Associated Press
For this easy Super Bowl snack, we combined two of our favorite game day indulgences — guacamole and roasted potato skins. We start by creating potato boats, which are dusted with a spicy (you control the heat) seasoning mix, then baked until tender inside and lightly browned outside. Meanwhile, we make a delicious batch of guacamole and — as soon as the potato boats have cooled a bit — spoon heaping mounds of it into them. Then we eat as many as possible. Want to dress them up some more? Nothing wrong with sprinkling the tops with grated cheese, cooked bacon, cooked and crumbled sausage, jalapeno pepper slices, chopped onion or whatever else strikes you. GUACAMOLE POTATO BOATS Start to finish: 40 minutes Servings: 8 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (depending on desired heat) Kosher salt and ground black pepper 2 pounds medium Russet potatoes (about 4) 2 tablespoons butter, melted 3 avocados, pitted and peeled 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos 3 scallions, chopped 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

This PhoTo shows guacamole and roasted potato skins in Concord, NH. For this easy Super Bowl snack, we combined two of our favorite game day indulgences, guacamole and roasted potato skins. Heat the oven to 450 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside. Slice 1/2-inch-thick slices off both sides of each potato, reserving the middle third of each potato for another use (put them in water and refrigerate to prevent them from darkening). Using a melon baller, scoop out a bit of the flesh from each potato slice to create shallow bowls. Arrange the potato slices on
the prepared pan. Pat dry with paper towels. Brush all over with the melted butter. Sprinkle with the spice mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the outsides are crisped and browned and the flesh of the potatoes are tender. While the potatoes bake, prepare the guacamole. In a medium bowl, combine the avocados, jalapenos, scallions, lime juice and vinegar. Mash with a fork or wooden spoon until the guacamole is as chunky or smooth as you prefer. Season with salt and black pepper. Allow the potatoes to cool
slightly, then scoop a spoonful of guacamole into the hollow of each potato. Serve immediately.

Pinterest alive with a new you for 2016 NEW YORK (AP) — Welcome to New Year’s resolution junction. It’s a busy place around this time of year, when those promises we make to ourselves are either furiously alive or dead on arrival. In a little corner of the world we like to call Pinterest, resolution-makers have lit up with ways to declutter, eat healthier and de-stress. “Over the last five years, we’ve seen the growth of more than 100 million special diet pins on Pinterest,” offers Christine Schirmer, a spokeswoman for the site. “But in 2016, we see top health and fitness pins focus on a more balanced approach to wellbeing, including meditation, bullet journaling and minimalism.” Pinners have saved millions of diet, recipe and workout ideas. For the first time, the site is seeing pinners ditch crash diets. Overall, pins related to crash diets were down 70 percent in 2015 over the year before. Pins of low-carb recipes have decreased by 40 percent since last January and Paleo diet pins were down 32 percent, according to data supplied by Pinterest. Since Christmas, pins for
“hourglass workout,” a full-body approach hell bent on lean, sexy curves, increased 83 percent. Pins for “cloud bread,” a grainfree, low-carb bread replacement, were up 73 percent, an indication the world is not yet ready to completely embrace carbs again. In the period between Christmas Eve and Jan. 2, pins for “bullet journals,” increased 67 percent, while “minimalist lifestyle” pinning in general went on the rise 19 percent and those on the subject of decluttering rose 35 percent. Other New Year, New You boosts: Jiu jitsu and its calorieburning perks; pins on all things “holistic”; enthusiasts of the “21day fix,” with guides for portion control, meal planning and clean eating; a 60 percent bump for “detox tea” pins; and a recent 41 percent bump for “dry brushing,” a DIY detox for the skin that has proponents advocating the use of a brush on dry skin in a certain pattern before showering to help release the body’s toxins. Pins for creating a “meditation space” have increased in the past few weeks by 49 percent, the site said.

Tigerlily Collier, below, was last year’s top seller of Girl Scout cookies. The 10-year-old sold 2,600 boxes and was responsible for more than $10,000. This mini-tycoon was on a mission to raise money for a troop horseback riding trip and service project to help the homeless.
Chattanooga — It’s Girl Scout Cookie time. Thin Mints, Samoas and all your favorite flavors are back for the Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians’ 2016 season. Girls will take orders in person and through online invitations Jan. 15 through Feb. 1. Public booth sales are Feb. 26 through March 20. Customers will be able to find a booth in their neighborhood at girlscoutcookies.org. The price remains at $4 per box, and every purchase is an investment in a girl’s future. “When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you’re not just feeding your sweet tooth or enjoying one of America’s favorite comfort foods. Every purchase teaches girls critical skills for life — such as business ethics, people skills and goal setting,” says Heather Hatmaker, director of revenue at the Girl Scouts. Hatmaker oversees the council’s entire cookie operation. In 2015, the council’s Girl Scouts sold an average of 221 boxes, raising almost $900 each. “It’s so exciting. You have to set goals, work hard and believe in yourself,” says Tigerlily Collier, last year’s top seller. The 10-year-old sold 2,600 boxes and was responsible for more than $10,000. This minitycoon was on a mission to raise money for a troop horseback riding trip and service project to help the homeless. Horseback riding was great — but not Tigerlily’s favorite reward. “Truthfully, I would say it was helping the homeless people,” she said. “When we brought them blankets and food their smiles warmed us up inside.” Customers can join the Girl

Scout spirit of service by purchasing cookies to send directly to members of the U.S. military through an initiative called Operation: APPRECIATION. Last year, customers donated more than 16,000 boxes in appreciation of armed forces’ service and sacrifice. “It’s a great way to support two good causes at once,” said Hatmaker. “The Girl Scout receives credit for the purchase, but the actual cookies are enjoyed by our service men and women and their families as a sweet treat and token of thanks.” The Digital Cookie online marketing platform is back for a second year. In true Girl Scout spirit, all sales are still initiated by a girl. Upgrades to Digital Cookie
include enhanced learning opportunities for girls and improved customer convenience. Here’s this year’s cookie lineup: — Thin Mints: chocolate wafers covered in even more chocolate with natural peppermint oil. — Samoas: chewy cookies packed with caramel, coconut, and chocolate. — Tagalongs: crispy cookies layered with peanut butter and covered with chocolate. — Do-si-dos: crunchy oatmeal sandwich cookies with creamy peanut butter filling. — Trefoils: traditional shortbread cookies. — Rah-Rah Raisins: hearty oatmeal cookies with plump raisins and Greek yogurt-flavored
chunks. — Savannah Smiles: crispy, zesty lemon wedge cookies dusted with powdered sugar. The gluten free Toffee-tastic cookie piloted last year is back in limited quantities. Toffee-tastic can only be ordered via Digital Cookie and will not be available at all cookie booths. “I’m just excited that the sale is finally about to begin,” Tigerlily said. This year’s goal? 3,000 boxes. ——— One-hundred percent of proceeds stay within the council’s service area, and approximately $1 million goes directly into troop treasuries. Girl Scouting is girl-led, so girls decide how to spend their money — from trips to learning experiences to community service projects. Council proceeds provide essential services to girls and volunteers.
10 foods to try in San Francisco during the Super Bowl SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco is a city with serious food game, whether playing as multi-starred cuisine served in a white tablecloth hush or a simple crab cocktail eaten amid the boisterous clamor of Fisherman’s Wharf. And with the Super Bowl heading to nearby Santa Clara, the hungry hordes hankering for a taste of the local food scene won’t be disappointed. If you’re lucky enough to be among them — whether you’re looking to dine on one of the city’s iconic standbys or venture into cutting-edge cuisine — here’s a guide to 10 foods and drinks San Francisco is famous for and where to find them. — BEER Anchor Brewing and San Francisco have a history that goes all the way back to 1849, when German brewer Gottlieb Brekle arrived with his family. The brewery weathered earthquakes, fires and Prohibition just fine, but almost went under entirely when mid-century Americans developed a taste for mass-produced beer. In 1965, Fritz Maytag saved the place from bankruptcy, bringing back Anchor Steam Beer and writing a new chapter in suds history. You can get a first-person look at the brewery via tours available most days except holidays. The tours cost $15 per person, take about 90 minutes and conclude with a tasting. Reservations are required; you can make them here: http://www.anchorbrewing.com/brewery/tours . Another option is the 21st Amendment Brewery & Restaurant (563 2nd St.), which has a selection of house beers served with traditional pub grub. — CIOPPINO This is the fish stew created in San Francisco by Italian fishermen in North Beach in the late 1800s. They’d toss into a pot
whatever seafood was left from the day’s catch — crab, shrimp, clams, fish, etc. — along with onions, garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, wine and herbs. Italian restaurants started serving the dish and soon it was part of the region’s culinary lexicon. A solid bet in North Beach is Sotto Mare. Tadich Grill (240 California St.) also is a good choice. —COFFEE This is a fully caffeinated city with coffee shops on just about every block. For something out of the ordinary, try Ritual, a pioneer in the craft caffeine movement. The flagship location is 1026 Valencia St. in the Mission District. Blue Bottle, which began across the bay in Oakland, has a spot in San Francisco’s Ferry Building. And for coffee with that little extra kick, try the famous Irish Coffee at the Buena Vista Cafe in Fisherman’s Wharf ). — CRAB You can pick up a traditional crab cocktail at one of the many vendors lining Fisherman’s Wharf, http://www.fishermanswharf.org . For a different take, try it roasted and served with garlic noodles at Thanh Long (4101 Judah St.). Like your crab crispy? Get it shelled, battered and deepfried at the R & G Lounge in Chinatown (631 Kearny St.). — STREET SCENE For meals on wheels, check out Off the Grid, a roaming event featuring food trucks, carts, tents and live entertainment. Download the app to get information on schedules and participants. http://offthegridsf.com/ — OYSTERS Oysters on the half shell are a longstanding San Francisco tradition. For an elegant take with a great view of the Bay Bridge try Waterbar (399 The Embarcadero). Starting Jan. 30 dinner will be accompanied by a free light show
with the return of the Bay Lights, a display that flashes nightly on the west span of the bridge. Also on the waterfront, Hog Island Oyster Bar in the Ferry Building. — SOURDOUGH The region’s tradition of sourdough — bread leavened with a wild yeast starter or “mother” dough — dates back to the Gold Rush. Boudin Bakery, established in 1849 — according to bakery history the original “mother dough” was saved in a bucket during the 1906 earthquake — has a veritable shrine to sourdough at its Fisherman’s Wharf location (160 Jefferson St). It includes a museum and demonstration bakery. Another good place to try this crusty creation is Tartine Bakery (600 Guerrero St.). — TEA Whether you’re parched from purchasing Pradas and other goodies from the boutiques of Union Square or simply resting up from an afternoon of window shopping, The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus is a fun spot to enjoy the elegant refreshment of afternoon tea. Set under a stained glass dome with views of Union Square, the restaurant serves teas, starting at $45, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 2:30 to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday (150 Stockton St., Level Four). Or try the Samovar Tea Lounge at Yerba Buena Gardens (730 Howard St.). English tea service starts at $24. — TIKI If you like Tiki bars, a stop at the Fairmont Hotel’s Tonga Room is mandatory. Set around what used to be the hotel’s indoor swimming pool, the bar features rain shows, live music and more kitsch than you can throw a tiny paper umbrella at (950 Mason St.). Another option is Smuggler’s Cove, which has more than 400 rums (650 Gough St.).

— VEGETARIAN Into veggies with a vista? Greens Restaurant is not just a vegetarian restaurant, it’s a highend spot that has been nominated for best overall restaurant in America in the James Beard Awards and is set in historic Fort Mason Center with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands (2 Marina Blvd., Fort Mason Center Building A). You also can find bountiful produce at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Markets held Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays. http://ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/farmers-market.php For a futuristic take on food, try Eatsa (121 Spear St.). There are no waiters or cashiers here. You place your order on wall-mounted tablets, then wait for one of the illuminated cubbies lining one wall to display your name in lights, indicating your order’s ready. Eatsa specializes in quinoa-vegetable bowls in myriad combinations. All are vegetarian and some are vegan.

Average age of new U.S. moms at all-time high NEW YORK (AP) — The average age of first-time mothers is at an all-time high in the U.S — over 26. The change is largely due to a big drop in teen moms. But more first births to older women also are tugging the number up, said T.J. Mathews of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He’s the lead author of a report released Thursday that put the average age at 26 years, 4 months for women who had their first child in 2014. The government began tracking the age of new mothers around 1970 when the average was 21. It’s been mostly climbing ever since, and spiked in about the last five years. The number rocketed immediately after a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing abortion, which is used mostly by young
unmarried women. Also fueling the rise were improvements in birth control and greater opportunities for women, experts said. “Women are staying in school longer, they’re going into the workforce, they’re waiting to get married, and they’re waiting to have kids,” said John Santelli, a Columbia University professor of population and family health. “It’s been going on in the U.S. since the 1950s,” and in many other countries as well, he added. Overall, the average age of first-time moms has been rising in every racial and ethnic group, and in every state. Since 2000, some of the most dramatic increases were for black mothers and for moms living along the West Coast. However, the Northeast still has the highest average ages.
Topping the list are Massachusetts and the District of Columbia, each at about 29, and Connecticut and New York, at or near 28. In New York’s Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn — an enclave for families with young children — older moms are common. Pushing a stroller on a frigid Wednesday morning, Meisha Welch said she didn’t have the first of her two children until just after her 38th birthday. “Many of my friends I grew up with, we all have small children,” said Welch, now 42. “We had children at what in the past may have seemed like an older age. But now it feels more average.” ——— Online: CDC report: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/

Implanted coils help some lung disease patients, study says
Secondhand smoke hits half of teens who don’t smoke ChICago (aP) — Even though fewer U.S. teens are smoking, secondhand smoke remains a big problem for them, a government study found. nearly half of nonsmoking kids in middle school and high school encountered secondhand tobacco smoke in 2013, and rates were even higher among smokers. Earlier studies on teens and secondhand smoke in specific places, such as cars or indoors, indicate that the problem has declined in recent years but the new research suggests it’s still affecting millions of kids. “these findings are concerning because the U.S. Surgeon general has concluded that there is no safe level of secondhand smoke exposure,” said lead author Israel agaku, a researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Secondhand smoke has been linked with several illnesses in children, including breathing problems, ear infections, bronchitis and pneumonia. In adults, it has been linked with heart disease and lung cancer. the study results are based on a national survey of more than 17,000 middle school and high school kids. Exposure was defined as being around tobacco smoke at least once within the past week. nearly 1 in 4 nonsmokers who reported any exposure said they were around tobacco smoke daily. Settings included home, school, cars and public places. It’s not clear how many had only brief exposure. the study was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics. CDC data show that youth smoking has fallen steadily in recent years, reaching about 9 percent among high schoolers in 2014. at least 26 states have smoke-free laws affecting indoor public places and worksites, and more than 80 percent of U.S. homes have no-smoking rules. the researchers say the study results show efforts are needed to expand smoke-free zones. —Online: Pediatrics: http:// bit.ly/1mgagnn CDC: http://www.cdc.gov
Alzheimer’s group to visit the Capitol Chattanooga — there are 110,000 tennesseans aged 65 and older living with alzheimer’s disease and by 2025 that number is expected to increase to 140,000. alzheimer’s association staff and advocates from tennessee will travel to nashville on Wednesday, Feb. 17, to advocate for increased care and support for those facing alzheimer’s disease. this day of advocacy encourages family caregivers, professional caregivers and community members to share their personal and professional experiences with alzheimer’s disease during faceto-face meetings with state representatives. “Facing a diagnosis of alzheimer’s disease is overwhelming for everyone involved and loved ones ask what they can do to help,” shares amy French, manager of programs for the alzheimer’s association. “Letting their voice be heard and advocating for those living with alzheimer’s creates an opportunity to help shine a light on alzheimer’s disease and the support that is needed.” French adds that alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States and the only top 10 cause of death that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. Day on the hill is free to attend with transportation and meals provided. Reservation is required and those interested can call their local office at 1.800.272.3900. the alzheimer’s association encourages advocates to join other advocates from across the state to turn the Capitol purple.

In THIS fILe PHoTo, a radiologist uses a magnifying glass to check mammograms for breast cancer in Los Angeles. Mammograms do the most good later in life, a government task force said Monday in recommending that women get one every other year starting at age 50, and that 40somethings make their own choice after weighing the pros and cons.
Task force: Mammograms are option at 40, do more good at 50 WaShIngton (aP) — Mammograms do the most good later in life, a government task force has declared in recommending that women get one every other year starting at age 50. It said 40-somethings should make their own choice after weighing the pros and cons. When to start routine mammograms and how frequently to get them has long been controversial. the latest guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services task Force, made public Monday, stick with its advice that women should have one every two years between ages 50 and 74. But they also make clear that it’s an option for younger women even though they’re less likely to benefit. Some health groups urge mammograms every year starting at 40 — although last year the american Cancer Society upped its starting age to 45. there is some common ground emerging, that mammography advice shouldn’t always be one-size-fits all. “age 50 isn’t magic,” said task force past chairman Dr. Michael LeFevre of the University of Missouri. here are some things to know about mammograms. —WHAT THE TASK FORCE SAYS Women in their 60s are the most likely to avoid dying from breast cancer thanks to mammograms, but there’s clearly enough benefit for the average woman to start at 50, the task force found. the advisory group wants younger women to understand the trade-offs before deciding: among every 1,000 women screened, one additional death could be prevented by starting mammograms at 40 instead of 50. But there would be 576 more false alarms and 58 additional unneeded biopsies. also, two extra women would be overdiagnosed, treated for cancer that never would have become life-threatening. Monday’s update, published in annals of Internal Medicine, is largely a rewording of guidelines originally issued in 2009 and reconsidered in draft form last spring. this time, the task force stresses that “we think the science supports a range of options” for 40-somethings, LeFevre said. —DIFFERING GUIDELINES Mammograms aren’t perfect, and different health organizations weigh the trade-offs differently. So do women and their physicians. the american Cancer Society says to begin annual mammo-
grams at 45 but switch to every other year at 55. after menopause, tumors tend to grow more slowly and women’s breast tissue becomes less dense and easier for mammograms to penetrate, says chief medical officer Dr. otis Brawley. Between ages 40 and 44, when breast cancer is especially uncommon, the society also says women should make their own choice. “We’re moving away from paternalistic medicine where we doctor organizations used to tell women, ‘You must do this,’ “ Brawley said. “We’re saying, ‘this woman is at higher risk, therefore maybe she should get screened at 40. this woman is at lower risk, maybe she can wait a little later.’” the american College of obstetricians and gynecologists stands by annual mammograms starting at 40, while urging patient education and shared decision-making. —THINGS TO CONSIDER More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and about 40,000 die from it. It is most frequently diagnosed among women ages 55 to 64, and the median age of death from breast cancer is 68. Screening guidelines are only for women at average risk of breast cancer. Women with a mother, sister or daughter with breast cancer have a higher risk than the average 40-yearold. other factors can play a role, too, including genetics, breast density and menstrual and pregnancy history. —PERSONALIZED SCREENING Dueling guidelines mean “some people get so confused they don’t get screened at all. Some are too anxious or afraid not to do more, and it may not be better for them,” said breast cancer specialist Dr. Laura Esserman of the University of California, San Francisco. “Maybe we should be screening in a new way.” Esserman leads the first-ofits-kind WISDoM study that soon will begin enrolling 100,000 women to test whether tailoring screening to someone’s individual risk is better than age-based mammograms. Women given annual mammograms starting at 40 will be compared with others assigned more or less frequent screenings, starting at different ages, based on in-depth risk assessments. —INSURANCE COVERAGE Insurance usually pays for mammograms. Because of concern about how the task force
Mammogram guidelines from various health groups differ The Associated Press
Mammogram guidelines from various health groups differ on when to start and how frequently to get the breast cancer screening: —the U.S. Preventive Services task Force recommends mammograms every other year for average-risk women between 50 and 74. It says women in their 40s benefit less but should make their own choice after weighing the pros and cons. —the american Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms starting at 45 and switching to every other year starting at 55. It says women 40 to 44 should make their own choice. —the american College of obstetricians and gynecologists recommends annual mammograms starting at 40.
recommendations might be implemented, Congress recently extended for two years legislation preserving access to routine mammograms without copays starting at age 40. —WHEN TO STOP the task force says more research is needed to know whether to continue mammograms at 75 and beyond. the cancer society says to keep screening as long as women are in good health and have a life expectancy of at least 10 years. —WHAT’S NEXT the task force said more research is needed to tell if newer 3-D mammograms should be used for routine screening and if women with dense breasts benefit from extra testing, such as with ultrasounds or MRIs. the cancer society’s Brawley said the mammogram age argument has distracted from a bigger urgency: “We ought to say this more: We need a better screening test for younger women.” —Online: task Force: www. screeningforbreastcancer.org WISDoM study: www.wisdomstudy.org

Ruby Dee documentary offers pearls of wisdom NEW YORK (AP) — The late Ruby Dee was many things — an artist, an activist and a pioneer of stage and screen. But she was also something equally important — a grandmother. A new documentary packed with Dee’s life lessons has been created by one of her grandsons, and it offers a very personal look at the widely admired woman. Muta’Ali Muhammad, grandson of Dee and Ossie Davis, filmed Dee talking about everything from what was in her detailed FBI file to her opinion of open marriages. He hopes others will be encouraged to do the same. “This piece has served as an inspiration and an excuse to those people who have wanted to record interviews with their loved ones,” Muhammad said this week. “I think grandpa and grandma

Did you know? — June is popular wedding month (MS) — Historically, June has been the most popular month for getting married. But some numbers now indicate that July and even October have begun to edge out June as the most popular months to tie the knot. The June wedding tradition may be traced back to the ancient Romans. Romans honored Juno, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, and the month of June was named after her, so it is fitting that weddings take place in her namesake month. As centuries passed, June
remained a popular month to get married. June was a prime time for people to come out after a long winter and take communal baths in the 15th century. In addition, June weddings meant children conceived after betrothal would be born close to or during the following spring. This helped assure youngsters’ survival during the rough and often lean months of winter. Spring births would not conflict with workers’ demanding schedules during the autumn harvest, either.
Planners can make wedding day less stressful (MS) — Planning a wedding is often both fun and frustrating. While planning a party for friends and family can be fun, couples can easily be overwhelmed by the nuts and bolts of planning such a significant event. Interviewing vendors, negotiating prices and arranging for accommodations are just a few of the many tasks couples must complete before they can finally relax and tie the knot. The sheer volume of decisions couples must make when planning a wedding is one reason many men and women seek the services of wedding planners. The following are some additional reasons couples might want to ease their burdens and hire wedding planners as they get ready for their big day. n Planners are familiar with vendors. Wedding planners work for couples, and while planners often recommend certain vendors, they typically work with whomever the couples ultimately choose.
As a result, veteran wedding planners tend to have worked with every florist, caterer, deejay, and venue in their areas. That makes them an invaluable resource to couples who don’t know where to begin as they start planning their weddings. Wedding planners can save couples time by suggesting couples avoid certain vendors, whether it’s because those vendors have poor service records or they simply don’t fit into a couple’s budget. Wedding planners also can make recommendations based on what couples want. For example, wedding planners may know which deejays are best for more raucous receptions and which ones are best suited for couples who want a more formal affair. n Planners know pricing. Wedding vendors often leave room for negotiation when making proposals to prospective customers. Seasoned wedding planners will know the going rates for var-
ious services, helping couples get the best rates possible and doing so with minimal effort. In addition, planners might be able to negotiate directly with vendors they have worked with in the past, removing one of the biggest stressors of planning a wedding, the negotiation process, from the list of responsibilities couples must handle before tying the knot. n Planners remember the small details you’re likely to forget. Many couples who have large weddings are getting married for the first time, and there are bound to be details they overlook along the way. Seasoned wedding planners are far less likely to overlook even the tiniest of details, helping couples rest easy knowing that no stone has gone unturned as their big days draw closer and closer. n Planners keep you on course. The longer a couple’s engagement, the easier it becomes to put certain decisions
off. But as the wedding day draws nearer, that procrastination often turns into panic, as couples realize their options dwindling and decisions need to be made as soon as possible. Wedding planners hired shortly after a couple gets engaged will be there to ensure couples stay on track, making decisions as needed and not putting important decisions off until the last minute. n Planners make the wedding day less stressful. Despite all the planning and preparation that goes into their weddings, couples often find their wedding days to be whirlwind days that seem to fly by. Small problems on a couple’s wedding day have a tendency to be magnified, but a seasoned wedding planner can address such issues before the couple is even aware they existed. This makes the day much more enjoyable for the bride and groom and their investment in a wedding planner that much more worthwhile.
Be prepared when choosing popular months for weddings (MS) — The season couples choose to get married can affect many aspects of their ceremonies and celebrations. Vendors are in high demand during popular wedding seasons like spring and summer. But those same vendors may be more flexible and less expensive during those times of year when fewer couples tie the knot. According to The Knot.com, a leading Web-based wedding resource, June, August, September and October are the most popular months for couples to say “I do,” while January, February and March are the least popular months to get married. Wedding dates can affect wedding costs considerably, and knowing this can help couples find the date that works best for them and their budgets. Value dates Tying the knot in the early part of the year can be a more budget-friendly option for costconscious couples. Prices for reception sites and vendors may be lower in January and March than dur-
ing other times of the year. However, February may not be so budget-friendly thanks to Valentine’s Day. December also may not garner significant discounts thanks to the holiday season, when vendors may be in high demand for holiday parties. Local events Even though certain months may not be in high demand for weddings, that doesn’t always mean they are the perfect time for couples to tie the knot. Popular local events, such as festivals, large-scale meetings and conventions, can intrude on wedding plans. Consult with a local chamber of commerce and local schools to see if any local events that might drive up the cost of your wedding are going on. Reunions or conventions can stretch nearby restaurants, hotels and reception sites pretty thin, leaving you with fewer options. Vary the time If you have your heart set on getting married during more popular months to tie the knot, then you may be able to save a
bit here and there by being more flexible with the time and day you choose to make your vows. Couples often choose a Friday or Saturday wedding because they believe it will make it most convenient for guests to attend. However, if you provide ample notice to guests, they may be able to take off a Thursday or even a Monday from work, making a Thursday or Sunday wedding a more doable option. If Saturday is still your ideal day to walk down the aisle, think about having an early wedding ceremony followed by
a brunch or lunch reception. You also can customize your wedding to be a cocktail party only, saving you some money. Have backup options Recognize that if you want to get married on a Saturday at the height of wedding season, you may not get first choice on your venues and vendors. Have a list of service providers at the ready just in case your first choices are already booked. By understanding how dates and times can affect weddings, couples can make more informed decisions when planning their nuptials.
What to expect at a religious wedding ceremony (MS) — Weddings can be as unique and varied as the couples tying the knot. Quite often couples like to include certain twists on the ceremony and celebration to personalize their big days. But just as there are surprises at weddings, there also are many traditions that will be adhered to during ceremonies. Couples who opt for religious wedding ceremonies often adhere to certain rules and traditions fostered by their faiths. Guests who may be unfamiliar with traditions outside of their own beliefs may not know what to expect during certain ceremonies. Jewish celebrations The world’s Jewish population is divided among many distinctive denominations and further classifications. Although there may be subtle differences in wedding ceremonies between the sects, Jewish wedding traditions tend to be consistent across the groups. Conservative and Orthodox Jews may not hold weddings on the Sabbath or other holidays. Couples will sign the Ketuba, which is a marriage document affirming their connection to each other and to God. The ceremony starts with grandparents seated first, followed by a procession of the rabbi, cantor and groomsmen. The groom and bride will be escorted by their parents. The wedding party will gather beneath the chuppah, which is a canopy that signifies a house and represents the couple’s future together. A solid gold ring is given only to the bride according to Jewish law, although more liberal rabbis may allow a ring for the groom as a gift. The bridegroom smashes a wineglass with his foot after the vows have been exchanged. Christian celebrations Christian celebrations are similar among the various denominations. Such ceremonies typically involve a processional, though the groom is typically not included, instead standing at the altar. Christians typically hear vari-
ous scripture readings, and the officiant will explain the significance of marriage in this faith. Many Catholic weddings feature a full Mass during wedding ceremonies, and this Mass includes the transubstantiation of the Holy Eucharist. After vows and rings are exchanged, the couple kisses and is pronounced husband and wife in the eyes of God. The bride and groom will go on to sign the marriage document with two witnesses on hand. Hindu celebrations A Hindu wedding celebration is an elaborate affair that includes extended family and community members. The wedding ceremony is called vivaah sanskar and can be a very colorful celebration that lasts for days. The couple and guests will be wearing traditional dress. The bride usually wears body art produced with a mixture of henna and turmeric. Hindu rituals may vary widely, but some key things are shared. According to the “Encyclopedia of Hinduism,”
many will include the Kanyadaan, or giving away of the daughter by her father; Panigrahana, or holding one’s hands by a fire to signify the union; and Saptapadi, which is taking seven steps and making seven promises to each other before the fire.
The couple may have their clothing tied together during the seven promises ritual to represent their lifelong bond. Wedding ceremonies may vary depending on culture and religion, but they all share the joy of two people pledging their love and devotion to each other.

Explore wedding day transportation options drawn buggies as an alternative. n Step out of a classic movie. Vintage cars can make a statement. Although you may immediately think of a Rolls Royce, consider cars that embody your personal style. Rugged couples may want a classic pickup truck, while those who live life in the fast lane may prefer a vintage sports car. n Take the party on the road. Moving a large number of people in the wedding party takes forethought. Party buses and SUV limousines can fit a substantial amount of passengers, making them a more cost-effective option for large bridal parties. These vehicles may be equipped with party lights, impressive sound systems and even minibars. n Go eco-friendly. If your ceremony is nearby, arrive on horseback or even peddling a bicycle. Such options are eco-friendly and, in the case of bicycles, may be free. When booking transportation for you and your wedding guests, remember to do so well in advance. In addition, get all agreements in writing, verify that the company is licensed and insured and provide directions and the itinerary to drivers. This will ensure things go smoothly.
Tips on transportation options for out-of-town guests (MS) — Couples must make many decisions when planning their weddings, including choosing transportation for guests to and from wedding ceremonies. Whereas couples once left guests’ transportation up to their guests, nowadays it is customary to provide rides for guests so they can easily get to and from their hotel and the ceremony and reception safe and sound. Many factors must be considered when choosing transportation for wedding guests, and the following are a handful of tips to make the decision a little easier. n Speak with your hotel before booking transportation. While professional shuttle services are an option, couples whose guests will be staying in a specific hotel or hotels should speak with management of their hotels to determine if
the hotels offer shuttle services for guests. Many hotels provide airport shuttle service to guests, and couples might be able to use such services to get their guests to and from their weddings and receptions. Hotels may charge a fee to use their shuttles, but they may offer discounts to couples whose guests book an agreed upon number of rooms. An added benefit to using the hotel shuttle services is that bus drivers won’t get lost looking for the hotel. n Find an option that won’t bust your budget. Wedding budgets tend to be big, and couples planning their weddings soon realize that budgets can quickly be busted. When choosing transportation for your guests, do not feel pres-
sured to book especially lavish buses. So long as the buses are safe and on time, guests won’t mind if they ride in a school bus or a fancy bus worthy of a touring rock band. If you are concerned about the appearance of a bus, ask if you can decorate the bus before the wedding to make it more inviting. n Comparison shop. Many companies cater to couples looking for transportation for their wedding guests, and couples should explore all of their options before committing to a particular company. Receive formal estimates from several companies before making your final decision, and speak to companies about matching offers. When comparing companies, try to consider both cost and quality. While the lowest estimate might be
the most budget-friendly, you should choose the company that you feel is most trustworthy and capable of fulfilling your contract. n Read the contract. Transportation contracts should be gone over with a fine-tooth comb before couples sign on the dotted line. Check for hidden fees, such as mileage or overage charges if the reception runs a little late, and ask how much flexibility you might have with regard to those fees. Make sure any agreements you reach with regard to fees are written into the contract before you sign it. Transportation for guests is one of many things couples must consider when planning their weddings. Make sure the option you choose is both guest- and budgetfriendly.
What you should include with wedding invitations (MS) — Wedding invitations once followed a relatively standard format that did not necessarily require much thought on the part of the grooms- and brides-to-be. But many couples now take more creative approaches to their wedding invitations, using them to evoke a certain theme or to establish if the wedding will be formal or casual. But while wedding invitation designs might have become more flexible over the years, couples should still make sure to include certain information in their invitations to avoid being overwhelmed with questions from guests excited to attend the festivities. n Date and time: It may seem simple, but don’t forget to include the date and time of both the wedding and reception in the invitation. If there will be a considerable amount of time between the ceremony and the reception, you may want to include a handful of local dining suggestions so guests can grab a quick bite to eat before the cocktail hour.
n Venue information: Guests will need to know where couples are tying the knot, so be sure to include the address of the ceremony site as well as a link to its website. The address will help guests find the venue, while the website can prove an invaluable source of information about the venue, which can save couples the trouble of answering questions about the ceremony site that can more easily and quickly be answered by visiting the website. n Reception hall information: Couples whose receptions will be in a different location than their ceremonies should include the same information about the reception hall that they did about the ceremony site. Reception hall information is often listed on reception cards, which can include information on the front and back to save paper and money on postage. n Hotel information: Many couples arrange special room rates with nearby hotels for their wedding guests. Include the names of these
hotels, directions to the hotel from all directions, directions from the hotel to the ceremony and reception sites and the various rates for rooms (single room, double room, etc.). If possible, include a link to each hotel’s reservation form as well. n Reply cards: Reply cards are included so guests can easily reply to let couples know if they will or will not be attending. Couples with wedding websites can even include a link to their sites on the reply cards, letting guests know they can reply via the website if they so choose. n Reception menu: Many reception halls ask that couples
give them a ballpark figure as to how many of their guests will prefer each type of entrée available at the reception. Include menu options within your invitation package, ideally on your reply card, so you can easily provide this information for your vendor. n Wedding website information: If you did not already include a link to your wedding website on your save-the-date cards, include that information within your invitation package. Wedding websites will answer many of your guests’ questions for you, so don’t forget to make this valuable tool a part of your wedding planning.

WEDDING 2016
(MS) — Engaged couples may be ready to walk down the aisle and begin their new life together, but first they have to get to the ceremony. Couples have many options at their disposal regarding transportation on their wedding days. Limousines continue to be popular choices, but other vehicles also may fit your needs. According to The Wedding Report, a research company that tracks wedding trends, the size of the average wedding party has grown, which means a greater number of people may need a ride to the festivities. But couples also must decide how they will get to and from their ceremonies. Couples who want to arrive in style may want to consider the following options. n Take it to the water. If you’re having a lakeside or seaside wedding, taking a water route to your ceremony can make for a dramatic entrance. Vessel options include speedboats, yachts or something more intimate, such as canoes or rowboats. Afterward, you can coast off into the sunset. n Arrive like royalty. Take a page out of a favorite fairy tale and arrive in a horsedrawn carriage. Carriages can typically fit between two and six passengers. If you cannot find a carriage, Horse-drawn carriage ride is a unique way to arrive at the consider pedicabs or bicyclewedding ceremony.

Stay on schedule with mailing invitations (MS) — Invitations are a vital component of wedding planning. In addition to informing guests about the details of the ceremony and reception, wedding invitations convey the tone and style of the day. While there are no rules governing wedding invitations, there are some ways for couples to ensure they stay on schedule when mailing invitations. n Order invitations early. Couples can start to consider their invitation options once the wedding date and venue have been chosen. The wedding stationery industry has changed a lot over the years. Couples can now order invitations from local retailers, use online printers, or design and print their own invitations from home. Invitations should be worded carefully and proofed several times before printing, so expect the process to take a couple of weeks from start to finish.
Plan for this time so you will have the invitations ready for mailing roughly three months before your wedding day. Always remember to order extra invitations so you have spares in case you make a mistake or make last-minute additions to your guest list. n Get organized before mailing. Start preparing invitations about a month before you plan to ship them, as this gives you ample time to write envelopes so you do not have to write them all on the same day. Keep the guest list handy and double-check the spelling of names and the addresses. Traditional etiquette suggests addresses should be handwritten, but computer-produced calligraphy on envelopes is now just as acceptable. Avoid printed labels. Be sure to have the complete invitation weighed at the post office so you will know exactly how much postage is required.
Purchase stamps for both the invitation and the response cards. n Coordinate mailing time and RSVP deadlines. Mail invitations roughly eight weeks before the wedding. This gives guests time to make room in their schedules and arrange for travel, if necessary. Set the response date for three weeks before the wedding date so guests will have the time to make a decision and mail back the response. Many caterers require a final head count one week before the wedding, so make sure your RSVP date is at least two weeks before the big day so you can account for late responders. n Don’t let responses linger. Check off who is coming and who cannot make it as you receive each response. This way you’ll know just how many responses are still outstanding and you can follow up if necessary.

Wedding veils complete bridal look (MS) — The perfect dress is on the wish list of many a bride-to-be, but no bridal ensemble is truly complete until the bride chooses her veil. Veils have been worn by brides at their weddings for centuries. Veils can be traced back to the Middle East, where veils helped protect against the weather while also preserving the modesty of the bride. In Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, veils were used as protection against evil spirits. According to popular wedding website The Knot.com, until Vatican II, all Catholic women were required to have their heads covered in church, including during their wedding ceremonies. Veils were worn for this purpose, but they also symbolized trust in the groom and his love and companionship. Some Christians also see the veil as a visual representation of submission to the Church and to God. Others think of the veil as another beautiful accompaniment to their bridal gown, without attaching any additional meaning to the veil itself. Veils come in various lengths and can complement the style of a wedding gown. They also tend to add glamour to brides’ looks. Here are the types of veils from shortest to longest. n Blusher: Blushers cover the face, though some extend only to mid-cheek on the bride. n Flyaway: Flyaways cover just the back of the head. Shorter veils may work better on petite women. n Shoulder: Shoulder veils are about 20 inches in length and will hit
Bridal veils come in many different lengths and can complement personalities and gown styles. at the bride’s shoulders or just below. n Waist: Waist-length veils cascade down to the middle of the bride’s waist. n Fingertip: These veils extend down 38 to 42 inches, brushing against the bride’s fingertips. n Waltz/Knee: For a dramatic look, many brides may opt for waltz-length veils, which fall to the back of the knees.
n Chapel/Floor: Veils that extend to the floor may be referred to as “chapel” or “floor-length” veils. Such veils cascade slightly behind the bride. Veils can complete brides’ wedding day looks. Shorter veils may be comfortable to wear throughout the day and evening, but brides may want to consider detachable veils if they are selecting lengthier options.
Bridal showers are way to offer good wishes JO BaTes shared this 1921 wedding photo of her parents, George Livoti and Mary Falco. Livoti was the first violinist with the Philadelphia Symphony, New England Opera Company and Mantovani Orchestra,. She was an opera singer.
(MS) — The modern bridal shower may trace its origins the 1890s. “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” says the first bridal shower hostess filled a paper parasol with small presents and turned it over the head of the bride-tobe. Soon the concept caught on, and many other women began “showering” future brides in such a manner. Naturally, as presents became larger and heavier, the tradition of literally
showering the bride with gifts was modified — but the name has stuck. Bridal showers are designed to equip couples with many of the necessities to start their new life together. This custom is believed to have evolved from an old dowry system, in which a bride was expected to bring valuables to the marriage. The dowry was originally intended as compensation for the burden of supporting a wife placed on the groom.
Couples should take time to build a bridal registry (MS) — Many once-popular wedding traditions have fallen by the wayside. But one wedding tradition that has withstood the test of time is the wedding registry. Couples about to tie the knot still build a wedding registry so their guests know what to buy them as wedding gifts. This saves guests the trouble of agonizing over what to buy the couple getting hitched and also ensures that couples won’t receive two or more of the same item. Building a registry can be fun, as couples can act like kids in a candy store and add items they might otherwise not be able to afford. But there is a method to building a registry that can ensure the process of giving and receiving gifts is comfortable and convenient for everyone involved. n Choose a national chain. Many stores will allow couples to establish a registry, but it behooves couples to choose a national chain or chains for their registry. A local boutique store might sell several items you would love to have, but that store may only be accessible to guests who live nearby, and such stores may be more expensive than larger national chains that can afford to charge less for similar products. Choosing a national chain ensures all of your guests will be able to access and purchase a gift from your registry, and make those purchases without breaking the bank. n Choose a store with an online presence. When choosing a store for your registry, it also helps to choose a store with an online presence that’s userfriendly. Ideally, pick an online retailer you have already had positive experiences with. This not only will make it easier for your guests, but also for you should you decide to return items down
the road. n Choose more than one store. You also want to choose more than one store when building a registry. Some guests will prefer to shop in-store rather than online, so you want to give them some options so they don’t have to drive far and wide to find the lone brick and mortar store for your registry. n Visit the stores and do your homework. Though some stores allow you to develop a registry entirely online, it still helps for couples to visit the store together and build their registries in the more traditional way. Visiting a store as opposed to browsing the store website allows you to touch and feel products, which can give you a more accurate idea of their quality. In addition to seeing the products in person, read online reviews of products before putting them on your registry so you can ensure you’re getting quality items. n Choose items that vary in price. Many couples are sheepish about putting expensive items on their registries. That’s not surprising, as the cost of attending a wedding, especially one that features lots of out-oftown guests, can be substantial. But some guests, such as the bride and groom’s parents and siblings, may want to give a more high-end gift, so don’t be afraid to include items in a range of prices, from the inexpensive to the more costly, on your registry. n Don’t abandon the registry after your big day. You won’t end up getting everything you include on your registry, but that doesn’t mean you should just forget about those items that never made their way into your home. Many retailers offer couples significant discounts on items from their registries that were
doubly beneficial on a couple’s wedding day, as it can be a harbinger of a long, happy marriage and home. n Some brides believe sugar cubes tucked into their wedding gloves leads to a sweet union. n Hindu tradition states that rain on a wedding day is good luck. Rain is believed to be a symbol of fortune and abundance, especially after times of drought. What’s more, rain can foretell a strong marriage. That’s because a wet knot is more difficult to untie. n Ancient Romans were so concerned with ensuring good luck that they actually studied pig entrails to determine the See LUCK, Page 42

Things To Do never purchased, and those discounts may extend for as long as a year after the big day. Revisit your registry after the wedding to see if you can find great deals on those items you never received, and continue to do so until the
registry expires. Building a registry can be a fun activity for couples about to tie the knot. But there are some guidelines to follow to make the process go smoothly for guests and couples alike.

Wedding good luck charms (MS) — Couples’ wedding days are special moments, ones they hope pave the way to a life filled with happiness and good fortune. That’s why the bride and groom surround themselves with close friends and family who want to celebrate and support their new life joined together. Perhaps due to superstition or tradition, many couples employ some wedding day strategies to increase their good luck. The following are some of the symbols that couples may want to keep an eye out for on the day they walk down the aisle. n It’s good luck for the bride to see a dove on the way to the wedding because doves symbolize peace and prosperity.

Some parents of the bride were not rich enough to afford an ample dowry, so friends and family members would offer small gifts to help offset this financial responsibility. Today, both the bride and groom are equal partners in the marriage, bringing together their collective wealth.

The basics of shopping for wedding rings (MS) — Engagement ring purchases are usually a solo endeavor, with the groom having an idea of the ring style and color his bride-to-be prefers. But couples usually shop for their wedding ring sets together, and such excursions can be special and meaningful. Like many decisions couples make when planning their weddings, choosing rings comes down to personal preference. There are no steadfast rules when it comes to purchasing wedding rings, but some guidelines can make shopping far easier. As couples prepare to shop for rings, it can help for each person to list the attributes he or she would like in a ring. This should include the type of metal, color, width, and even cost. Couples may find they have different preferences, and this is
perfectly fine, as wedding rings do not have to match. A wedding band should complement the engagement ring but not be a perfect match. An ornate engagement ring might look better with a simple band, and vice-versa. Similarly cut gemstones also can complement an engagement ring. If the bride chooses to wear both her engagement ring and wedding band together on the same finger, she should choose a band that will accommodate the curves of uniquely shaped engagement rings. Couples can make some early choices even before they visit jewelry stores. Narrow down
your options so the experience will not be overwhelming. When the time comes to shop, give yourselves at least two months to browse and then choose the rings you like best. Lifestyle and daily routine should be considered at all times. These rings will be worn daily, and no one wants to fret about a ring being too delicate to stand up to everyday wear and tear. Also, think long-term. Trendy rings can be fun, but will they still seem like such a good idea when you are celebrating your twentieth wedding anniversary?
When getting rings sized, both the bride and groom should go when their fingers aren’t swollen from exercise or early in the morning after they may have retained fluid. Shopping should take place when hands aren’t too hot or cold. This will allow the best size so the bands fit comfortably and will have enough wiggle room should fingers swell or shrink a little bit. People can protect their investments by keeping the ring on as much as possible and only removing it when engaging in demanding physical activity or when working with chemicals. Store the ring in a safe spot when you are not wearing it so you are less likely to lose it. Wedding rings can be purchased from any number of retailers. Just be sure the rings are of good quality and sellers stands by the craftsmanship.
Wedding rings are symbolic gestures of commitment (MS) — Couples adhere to many traditions on their wedding days, including the exchange of wedding rings. Wedding rings symbolize the union of two people and their pledge to remain faithful to each other. No one is exactly sure just when the tradition of exchanging wedding rings originated, but some say it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, when the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings was made. Reeds growing along the Nile were twisted and braided into rings and given during betrothal ceremonies. The round ring symbolized eternity, and the hole within the center meant a gateway to things unknown. Since reeds were not very durable, soon ivory, leather and bone were used to create wedding rings. As new lands were explored and territories expanded, traditions from one culture were adopted and modified by other cultures. The same is true with wedding rings. According to the Diamond Source, wedding rings were adopted by Romans and incorporated into Western wedding ceremonies. Romans’ rings were highly decorated, and some historians believe wedding rings were given to represent ownership over brides instead of symbolizing love. These rings were made of iron and called “Anulus Pronubus,” or “betrothal ring.” Rings have been simplified since those days and ultimately made of many materials. Throughout history, wedding rings were worn on various fingers and even both hands, whereas many married people in Western cultures now wear their wedding rings on the left hand and on the fourth finger. Romans once believed that this finger contained a vein, called the “Vena Amoris,” that ran directly to the heart. Though that is not true, the tradition has prevailed. Other legends say that, when blessing a Christian marriage, priests would bind the marriage by saying, “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” simultaneously touching the ring to the recipient’s thumb, index finger and middle finger, before slipping it on the fourth finger while saying, “Amen.” Another theory on ring placement is that wedding rings are worn on the ring finger because that finger isn’t used as much as the rest of the hand, ensuring delicate ring materials won’t be damaged. Ross Simmons Jewelry states that gold is still the most popular metal choice for wedding rings, but couples are opting for some other metals that are more durable. Platinum is popular not only because it is long-wearing, but it also tends to be the most expensive. It’s also a dense metal and can feel heavy in hand. Tungsten carbide is another durable metal that has grown in popularity in recent years. These rings cannot be cut and resoldered, which means it’s important to size the rings correctly the first time. Titanium is both lightweight and durable, and it’s popular because it is hypo-allergenic, making it practical for those with allergies to other metals. Wedding rings continue to serve as symbols of a couple’s vows and union. Much like the marriage itself, they are designed to last the test of time.

Brides express style in rings chosen For the bride of 2016, vintage is in! The 2016 bride is looking for ring styles that could very well be similar to their great-grandmother’s or even great-grandmother’s engagement ring of the late 1800s to the roaring 1920s, according to the experts at BW James Jewelers Superstore. Brides want their engagement ring to be one of a kind and to not look the same as their friends’ rings look. Brides want to express their style in the ring they choose.

In these vintage style rings you will find often filigree, beading and floral motifs. Brides looking to stand out even more might even choose to add a touch of sapphire.

gold will still be the most selected metal color. However you will see many engagement rings with accents of rose gold. As far as cut goes, round brilliant cut diamonds are by far the most selected. This is due to round cut stones having the most amount of sparkle when compared to other cuts of stones. Many brides still choose halo style engagement rings due to the high perception of value that they make the center diamond look larger. Three-stone style rings also seem to be trending again. Broderick Hicks, general manager of BW James Jewelers, said, the average purchase price of engagement is up from last year. Brides are wanting a ring that they will be happy with for a lifetime and not have to upgrade soon after. Brides are looking for higher quality diamonds.

largest selection of engagement rings in Cleveland, with hundreds of styles from which to choose.

Creative ways to make a memorable wedding (MS) — Once wedding vows and rings have been exchanged, many couples join their friends and family to celebrate with a wedding reception. Many brides and grooms eagerly await the moment when they can make their grand entrance to the reception, and over the years it has become customary for couples to make a bit of a splash when making their first appearance as husband and wife. Some enter with a special song. Others prefer something a bit more theatrical. Explore these ideas for memorable wedding reception entrances. n Catch guests by surprise. Wedding guests will probably expect the wedding party to enter through a certain door and the bride and groom to follow afterward. An element of surprise, such as the couple rising from the floor or appearing from a different area in the reception hall, may not require a lot of planning but can have a dramatic effect. Unpredictable entrances also include unexpected song choices or dramatic lighting to immediately draw everyone’s attention. n Stick to one or two songs. Some couples think it might be fun to have each member of the wedding party enter with a different song. Not only will this take a lot of coordination on the part of the deejay, but it can make the entrance choppy as well. Introductions may go more smoothly if couples have the entire wedding party enter to a particular song that revs up the crowd and gets them excited for
the grand entrance. At the height of the song, the bride and groom will enter. The entrance typically segues into a couple’s first dance. n Go with people’s strengths. A couple may want to showcase special skills as they enter the reception hall. There’s no limit to what couples can do, from acrobatic techniques to tap dancing to juggling. If it’s entertaining, it very well may prove memorable. n Make sure everyone is on board. Couples should recognize that some members of the wedding party may be uncomfortable acting like clowns in front of a crowd. Do not force anyone to participate in crazy antics if they do not want to. Find things each member of a wedding party feels comfortable doing. Couples may want their bridal party members to enter in a more traditional way before the newlyweds do something more dramatic and humorous. n Include the entrance in your planning. If you want to follow a certain theme, such as “Star Wars” or “Mission Impossible,” coordinate in advance with a deejay or band members. Talk about what, if any, props you plan to use and the type of music that will be playing. If entrances involve choreography, be certain to practice in advance of the wedding so everything will work out well and look professional. However, even stunts that go awry can be entertaining and funny for guests. n Low-key entrances are acceptable, too. Couples who
aren’t into much fanfare should not feel pressured to make an entrance with a dance routine or to have any stunning visual effects. If you want a low-key introduction, arrange for such an entrance with the emcee. Wedding entrances are what a couple makes of them, and they can run the gamut from traditional introductions to theatrical skits and dance routines.

Tame the wedding day nerves Luck
(MS) — When couples tie the knot, many changes are in store, many compromises will be made and many lasting memories will be created. But in the weeks and months before their big days, couples can easily get caught up in the whirlwind of wedding planning, never taking inventory of their feelings until their wedding days have arrived. Come their wedding days, couples should not be surprised if some nerves set in. A survey from the anxiety self-help resource The Fear Source indicated 71 percent of brides-to-be suffered from some type of nerves during the lead-up to their weddings. Ninety-two percent of brides experienced nerves on the day of the wedding or the evening before, while 66 percent reported that it affected their daily lives prior to their weddings or hampered their performance and enjoyment during the day itself. According to Psych Central, a modern online voice for mental health information, emotional support and advocacy, pre-wedding jitters are common and can be the subconscious telling a person that something needs to be remedied. Wedding nerves do not mean a wedding is doomed; it just means certain issues may need to be worked through. The following are some ways to tame wedding day nerves. n Keep an open dialogue. Speak with your future spouse about the things that may be

causing your anxiety. Maybe you have doubts on financial choices or where you will be living after the wedding. Communicating openly and honestly is one of the foundations of a strong relationship. n Slow down and breathe. Wedding planning involves making many decisions, and sometimes couples move at breakneck speeds. Make slowing down a priority. Try to enjoy a quiet dinner with just the two of you. When
enjoying peaceful moments, take deep breaths, which can be calming and revitalizing. If need be, consider signing up for a yoga or tai chi class to force you to slow down. n Address performance anxiety. It’s easy to build up the big day in your mind and hope that everything goes according to plan. But it’s impossible to plan for each and every outcome on your wedding day. Focus on everything that can go right, rather than worrying about what might go wrong. Also, realize that your guests are your friends and family members who will be forgiving of any hiccups along the way. You’re bound to recover gracefully from any mishaps. n Work on confidence. Wedding fears may stem from inadequate self-confidence. Give yourself a pep talk and surround yourself with positive people. Keep the worry-warts at arms’ length for the time being. n Recruit more help. Weddings are huge undertakings, so it’s no surprise that couples sometimes feel overwhelmed. Ask reliable relatives or friends to double-check all of the last-minute details. This way you don’t feel it is all on your shoulders. Wedding days nerves are to be expected and often have little to do with the decision to get married. Planning such a big event can be nerve-wracking, but there are ways to combat any anxiety that builds up as the big day draws near.

luckiest time to marry. If they consulted with the English, they might determine that a wedding shouldn’t take place on a Saturday, which is unlucky. English tradition states Wednesday is the best day to get married. n In Holland, well-wishers would plant pine trees outside of newlyweds’ homes as a symbol of fertility and luck. n Grooms may want to give a coin to the first person they see on the way to their weddings. This is another symbol of good luck. n Some couples plan to marry during a full moon, because that can symbolize good luck and good fortune. n On a couple’s wedding day, tears from a bride or a child during the ceremony is considered lucky. English folklore suggests that brides who discover spiders in their gowns are in for some good luck. n The Chinese believe that lighting fireworks at their wedding ceremonies chases away evil spirits. A red umbrella also might be held over a Chinese bride to keep bad spirits at bay. n Many grooms do not see their brides in their wedding gowns before their wedding ceremonies, feeling it is bad luck if they do. Many brides also do not wear their complete wedding outfits prior to their big day.

How to successfully negotiate with wedding vendors (MS) — The average wedding tends to be one of the most costly ventures in a couple’s life together. Many couples seek ways to cut costs, and negotiating with prospective vendors is one way to do just that. Too often couples overlook haggling for better prices because they may be intimidated by the process or simply want to plan the most memorable day regardless of cost. Many vendors build some wiggle room into their prices, and the key for cost-conscious couples is to find the right strategy to unlock that lower price. n Explore your options. Weddings are big business for
vendors, and the competition is stiff. Visit a variety of vendors and compare their services and prices prior to making any decisions. This will give you an accurate range of costs and information for future negotiations. Vendors may be willing to match competitors’ prices, so knowing what the photographer down the street charges can provide you with some negotiating leverage. n Dress modestly for meetings. It’s tempting to want to dress to impress, but very often wedding vendors judge potential clients by their appearances. If you walk in with a designer handbag and driving the latest model luxury
vehicle, a vendor may get the impression you have extra money to spend. While you do not have to play the pauper, dress modestly so your appearance doesn’t hurt you at the negotiating table. n Never take the first offer. A good business person will tell you there always is room for negotiation. Avoid the loaded question of “What can you spend on this?” by the vendor. Instead, let them bring up a price first, and realize that this first quote can almost always be negotiated down. Inform the vendor that you would really like to work with them but he or she
needs to lower the price. See if they can offer a different package or provide a discount. n Negotiate the big-ticket items first. Discounts on big-ticket items, such as the reception venue, will save you the most money. For example, you will save more by getting 20 percent off at the catering hall than if you save 20 percent on your wedding gown. Once you free up extra money, you may find you don’t have to negotiate as hard with smaller vendors. n Walk away if need be. Always have a Plan B in place. This way if you tell a vendor that
their price is too expensive and you have to pass, you really have a fall-back option. Some vendors will sweeten the deal, but others will actually let you walk out the door. And remember, you’re more likely to get a better price by being amenable and well-mannered than making threats or arguing. n Some deals aren’t actual discounts. A vendor may be able to work with you by offering additional
services in lieu of actually taking money off of the price tag. Extra photo prints, a dessert bar and an extra hour of time in the limousine may seem like great deals, but that’s only the case if you truly need these bonuses. Even if it’s a great deal, you’re still spending more than you had hoped. Wedding prices can be overwhelming. However, negotiating for lower prices is always an option for cost-conscious couples.
TUXEDO HEADQUARTERS
Simple solutions to save on wedding (MS) — Couples in the midst of planning a wedding often find themselves overwhelmed by the cost of such a meaningful yet expensive undertaking. The average wedding is as expensive as a new car or a down payment on a new house, so it’s no surprise many couples experience sticker shock when they first begin to negotiate with vendors. But as shocking as the cost of saying “I do” in front of family and friends can be, there are some tried-and-true ways to drastically reduce that cost without making the big day any less special. Guests Many couples save the most money by reducing the number of people they invite to their wedding. Couples who come from large families may not be able to cut family members from their guest lists without causing a significant stir, so such men and women can look for other areas to trim. Professional colleagues and old acquaintances who you no longer keep in touch with are unlikely to be offended if they don’t make the cut, and removing them from the guest list can save couples substantial amounts of money. Venue Perhaps no element of wedding planning is more open to negotiation than the venue where the reception will take place. Many couples now choose venues that can host both the wedding and the reception, and that can save couples the cost of booking two separate locations and transporting out-of-town guests from one location to another. Venues are typically open to negotiation with regard to the price per person for the reception, and few will not have some wiggle room built into their initial quote. If young children and teenagers will be attending the wedding, negotiate lower rates for their meals, as they won’t be drinking alcohol and therefore won’t cost the venue as much as adult guests. Location Where a couple decides to tie the knot will have a significant impact on their bottom line. Certain locales, such as large cities, are more expensive than others. Couples who come from small towns may benefit from tying the knot close to home, as vendors tend to charge less the further they are from large metropolises. Waterfront venues, regardless of which city they happen to be in, also tend to be more expensive than venues with less impressive surroundings. Couples willing to sacrifice city lights and breathtaking views of the water are likely to find more affordable venues for ceremonies and receptions. Timing The timing of a wedding also affects a couple’s bottom line. Couples hoping to get married when wedding season hits its peaks, which is generally considered the months of May and June and then also late-September into October, can expect to pay substantially more than couples willing to get married at other times of the year. Couples also can save money by choosing to get married on Friday or Sunday nights or Saturday afternoon, when many venues charge considerably less per person than they do on Saturday night, which remains the most popular night of the week to get married. The cost of a wedding is considerable, but couples can cut those costs in several ways if they’re willing to be flexible and negotiate with vendors.
DANcE lESSoNS can boost couples’ confidence during their first dances together.
Dance lessons can be helpful prior to wedding (MS) — Apart from their initial nerves during their wedding ceremonies, many couples feel comfortable having all eyes on them for the majority of their wedding days. However, some couples get a bit of stagefright when dancing as husband and wife for the first time. First dances and parentchild dances are popular wedding reception rituals. The couple’s dance serves as their first act as a married pair, often occurring at the onset of the wedding reception. Fatherdaughter and mother-son dances may take place at different points in the evening. Some people relish the idea of having the spotlight on them, while others are nervous about dancing in front of a crowd. While couples need not look like contestants on “Dancing With the Stars” to pull off a successful first dance, taking dance lessons prior to the wedding can teach
men and women some key moves and help calm their nerves. Couples may want to begin dance lessons a few months before their wedding day to get acclimated to the experience. The more lessons couples take, the more comfortable they will likely be when it comes time to cut a rug. Private dance lessons may be more effective than group lessons, as they enable one-onone interaction with instructors, who point out any missteps immediately and correct form on the spot. Instructors also may suggest which routines couples should embrace and which they may want to avoid. Preparation can stem nervousness and help couples feel more confident on the dance floor, even if their dances last only a few minutes. The goal of dance lessons is for couples to become better
dancers, but improved skills on the dance floor is not the only thing couples can take from dance lessons. n Exercise: Dancing is an excellent form of exercise that can help couples build up their endurance. In addition, the cardiovascular benefits of dancing can help couples shed a few pounds prior to their wedding days. n Stress relief: Planning a wedding is not always easy. Having a night of the week devoted to some fun couple time can help relieve some of the stress couples may feel when planning a wedding. n Enjoyable memories: Taking dance lessons as a couple is something couples may look back on fondly long after they have tied the knot and cut their first rug as husband and wife. Dance lessons can help couples calm their nerves as their first dance approaches.
Undergarments can make or break wedding day looks (MS) — As guests’ eyes are trained on couples come their wedding days, it is no surprise that both the bride and groom want to look flawless on their big days. Men and women will spend thousands of dollars on clothing, hairstyling, makeup, teeth whitening, fitness classes, and more to ensure they look their best. While couples may be particularly concerned with their wedding day appearance, what they wear under their clothing — particularly for women — can impact how clothes fit and look. Choosing the right bra or supportive undergarments can play a crucial role in how a gown fits and whether or not brides achieve that picture-perfect look. Wearing the wrong undergarments can negatively affect a bride’s appearance and make her extremely uncomfortable. According to a study done by Swiss lingerie company Triumph, a large number of women are choosing their bras incorrectly. The international survey of 10,000 women found that 64 percent of them are wearing the wrong size bras. If women are wearing the wrong undergarments for everyday looks, it stands to reason that their wedding choices may not be spot on, either. Undergarments should be purchased and brought to all fittings as soon as a gown is selected. In fact, it often is a good idea to ask the bridal store employees to suggest a bra or corset that will complement the gown and remain invisible beneath the dress. Some shops will make bras available when trying on gowns. Brides are not obligated to purchase undergarments where they purchase their gowns, but take note of the brand and style and

RIGHT UNDERGARMENTS can make a difference in how wedding attire looks. find a similar one elsewhere that fits with your budget if you don’t want to buy at the store. Pay attention to the gown’s fabric and how dense it is. Certain shapewear, including bras, that have a lot of boning in them to shape and support the body can show under bridal dresses without a lot of layers. Always try on the bra with the gown to gauge the finished look. You may opt for simpler and plain lingerie styles so that you will be guaranteed a seamless appearance. Nude-colored bras tend to be less noticeable than white. You always can purchase something with more pizazz to change into for the wedding night. Some dresses with plunging necklines or backless designs may necessitate other options. Sew-in bra cups are another option that can lend invisible support. Women with more ample busts may want to select gowns that will allow for bras with supportive straps to be worn. This way there is no worry about strapless bras or other style lingerie slipping down. In addition to bras, other types of shapewear can enhance certain areas of the body or downplay perceived flaws.
Shapewear can smooth and pull in stomachs. Choose boy shorts or thong-style cuts for a seamless finish. Shapers can smooth out bulges on the back, legs and hips, too. There also are special shorts that have some padding in the rear to create a more curvy look. Bras and other shapewear can make a world of difference in how wedding attire looks and feels.

Make a second wedding stand out (MS) — Couples planning to get married do so with the intention of spending the rest of their lives together. Few couples exchange rings thinking divorce or the loss of a spouse is in their future, but some marriages do end. Happily, that reality does not prevent many people from seeking happily ever after once again. A recent study from the Pew Research Center found that many people who were married before are deciding to take the plunge a second time. Four in 10 new marriages in the United States now include one partner who was married before. Roughly 42 million American adults have gotten married a second time — up from 22 million in 1980. The Pew study also discovered that more men than women are likely to get remarried.
Around 65 percent of previously married men have a desire to remarry, compared to 43 percent of previously married women. Men and women about to get married for a second time can consider the following tips to help make the day one to remember forever. n Recognize that a second wedding is in no way less important than the first. Couples should remember that this is still the first wedding for the two of them as a couple and it should be seen as just as special as any other wedding celebration. It’s easy for men and women marrying for a second time to be hard on themselves, especially when thinking ahead to the gifts that were given and the money spent by guests for their first marriage. But a new relationship
and love is worthy of a good party. Friends and family who are supportive of you shouldn’t have reservations about helping you celebrate. n Don’t feel boxed in by oldschool etiquette. Rules have relaxed with regard to weddings. Many couples put their personal imprints on their weddings and do not feel the need to conform to outdated expectations. You don’t have to skip all of the frills of a first wedding the second time around or head to the local courthouse and pass on another big wedding. Do what feels comfortable to you, whether that means throwing a big party or hosting a smaller affair. n Let past experience serve as your guide. You’ve been married before and can use that to your advantage. It’s likely you know
what worked for the wedding the first time around and which things you probably could have changed or done without. Maybe you were stressed about having everything go perfectly or feeling like you had to put on a show for guests. As a more mature person this time around, you no doubt realize that sharing this special time with the ones you love is the most important wedding component of all. n Be open-minded with your wardrobe. Let the formality of the event and the time of day when you’re getting married influence what you will be wearing instead of perceived etiquette or family notions. It’s acceptable to wear white again if you so desire. Plus, more mature couples have a sense of what makes them look good, rather than opting for trendy
WEDDingS can be even more special the second time around. outfits. n Above all, have fun. Couples know what to expect the second time around, so stress usually
doesn’t stem from the unknown. You may feel more relaxed at a second wedding, so let that ensure you have a great night.

Grooms are looking for their wedding day best (MS) — Weddings are a chance for couples tying the knot to be the center of attention. All eyes will be glued to the bride and groom on this special day, which makes it even more important for couples to look their collective best. Brides might garner most of the attention on a couple’s wedding day, but dashing grooms also will get their share of attention. As a result, grooms must be just as diligent as their blushing brides with regard to grooming and appearance on their wedding days. To look picture-perfect, grooms may want to include these grooming tips in their wedding day preparation. Hair Schedule a haircut with a professional stylist roughly a week
before the wedding to get your hair shaped and trimmed. Although trendy hairstyles may show off creativity, keep in mind that photos last forever, and it’s often better to stick with a classic cut. A barber or stylist may suggest styles that best suit your face shape and hair texture. Above all, the haircut should be neat. Resist the urge to wash your hair every day before the wedding. Allow some natural oils to build up and make your hair shine in a healthy way. Shaving Shaving is another thing grooms must consider. If you have a beard, make sure it is clean, combed and trimmed. Men who shave the day of their weddings may find their skin is sensitive and irritated, which can
lead to redness. Unless your facial hair grows especially fast, shave the evening before. This is a good time to splurge on a professional shave with a straight razor at a barber shop. A hot shave from a professional will produce a close shave with the least amount of irritation when done correctly. Hands Grooms also may want to book a manicure. Keep in mind that salons will do men’s nonpolish manicures and pedicures, and they can be well worth the investment. Photos of entwined hands or close-ups of the ring exchange will have guests zeroing in on your fingers. Have hands look their best with clean, shaped fingernails and trimmed cuticles.
Skin Get plenty of sleep the night prior to the wedding. Being well rested will help reduce puffy eyes, dark circles and sallow skin. It will also put you in a more positive mood, which can help you enjoy the day even more. The day of the wedding, shower using water and a mild soap. Avoid any skin irritation by patting your face and body dry, rather than rubbing it with the towel. Moisturize your skin to avoid dry patches. Stores sell many moisturizers geared toward men’s needs, often in unscented or more masculine fragrances. Reducing shine is key for wedding day photos. Rely on face and hair products that will not add unnecessary sheen to your skin or hair to avoid making you look
greasy. Matte hair waxes and sprays will tame tresses. Also, ask your fiancé to pick you up a package of blotting tissues if you are prone to oily skin. These absorbent, typically rice-paper sheets will remove oil from your face and keep sheen to a minimum. Smile Make sure your teeth have been thoroughly brushed and that you have used a minty mouthwash so you’re primed for that first kiss. Many grooms also opt for whitening treatments prior to the wedding so they have a dazzling smile. On their wedding days, grooms will likely be photographed more than any other time in their lives. That means putting extra effort into personal grooming to look their best.

Tomorrow is eric Watson the celebration of Bradley County the life of the late Sheriff Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was born on Jan. 15, 1929, in Atlanta. He was at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s, until his death in 1968. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan made Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monday Holiday.â&#x20AC;? King is known for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Have a Dreamâ&#x20AC;? speech, delivered in Washington, D.C., in 1963. Another statement is still remembered, even after his death, almost 48 years ago: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.â&#x20AC;? Much of what is read today about Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time as a leader focuses on his stated desire to make our world a better place for future generations. Any person who wishes to lead, in my view, must have their eyes on the future. In seeking the office of sheriff of Bradley County, my vision was one of transparency, of a strong inclusion of the citizens of Bradley County in our work and a desire to be a good steward of our facilities. I feel all these areas of leadership must take precedence or there will be no forward movement â&#x20AC;Ś the person â&#x20AC;&#x153;in chargeâ&#x20AC;? will merely be marching in place, with no forward progression. It is important to have the right people in position to assist the leader. A leader works with others to set the direction, then it is his or her task of â&#x20AC;&#x153;staying the course.â&#x20AC;? Each day is a challenge as your sheriff. I have made it clear before that the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;challengeâ&#x20AC;? can be used in negative or positive ways. I prefer to look at a challenge as an opportunity to move ahead, or to work toward solving a problem. True, in some instances, dealing with a problem can take days, weeks or even months. Some problems are the results of other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior or their failure to previously deal with them. I know that, in my position as both your sheriff and a leader, the issues must stop with me. The challenges may be difficult, but a true leader can and will find a way to successfully master them. With the collective skill, education and experience of the staff and officers at your Bradley County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle! Let me once again thank you for the opportunity to be your sheriff. I thank you for the trust and faith you have placed in me. I will continue to move your Bradley County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office ahead in 2016!

SWAT Cat is back! BOSTON (AP) — SWAT Cat is back! The Boston Police Department’s SWAT team has been reunited with its beloved, unofficial mascot. The department posted on its website that SWAT Cat returned to the unit’s home base in the city’s Roxbury neighborhood Thursday morning. The female stray with white, black and light orange fur first started prowling around in 2013, looking for belly rubs and free meals. But she disappeared in late November. Police feared the worst and even put out an all-points bulletin for the missing feline, posting a shot on Facebook of SWAT Cat lounging on the hood of an armored vehicle.

Polk County UT/TSU Extension to offer Tennessee Great Garden Experience By GREG PAXTON Polk County Extension Agent
Many school children in January dream about snow, sledding, and cold winter fun, but for many gardeners, spring can’t come soon enough. You may be one of those who is dreaming of fresh vegetables from your garden or the smell of fresh cut grass from your lawn. To help that dream become a reality, the Polk County UT/TSU Extension office will be offering the Tennessee Great Garden Experience during the months of February and March. This program is for beginning gardeners or those folks
who need a little help in having a great gardening experience. The Tennessee Great Garden Experience consists of fiveclass sessions on the topics of Basic Vegetable Gardening, Soils and Soil testing, Basic Lawn Care, Annual and Perennial selection and care, and insect and diseases in horticulture. Classes will be Thursday nights, starting Feb. 11 and ending March 24. All classes will meet at the Benton Municipal Building. The Tennessee Great Garden Experience has a $30 registration fee for individuals, and two for $50 for couples. Participants completing the
Tennessee Great Garden Experience will receive a certificate of completion from the University of Tennessee Extension, one free soil test, and a chance at winning door prizes at each session. To register for the Tennessee Great Garden Experience, contact the U.T. Extension Office at 338-4503 or drop by the UT/ TSU Extension Office at 6042 Highway 411, Benton.
The GreaT Garden Experience class from 2015 is shown at right.
Many of us do it: When winter weather arrives, we try to make our homes as airtight as possible or try alternative heating methods to save money on heating costs. While energy conservation is certainly important, so too is protecting your personal and family health. The Tennessee Department of Health and the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office urge residents to know about potential home health and safety hazards during the winter months. One of winter’s biggest risks is poisoning from carbon monoxide, an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas that kills without warning. CO can come from many sources, including malfunctioning natural gas or propane furnaces and gas water heaters, wood-burning stoves, charcoal grills, enclosed spaces like garages where gasoline engines are being run, candles and gaspowered electricity generators. “In addition to keeping carbon monoxide sources out of and away from living spaces, an important way to protect yourself and your family is to have a functional carbon monoxide detector in your home,” said Commissioner Dr. John Dreyzehner. “Putting one where you and your family sleep provides a measure of protection from potentially harmful CO emissions that can damage the heart, lungs and other organs in humans and pets, and can cause death,” Dreyzehner added. “It is especially dangerous for those who are asleep, infants and children, pregnant women, older people and those in poor health.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, unintentional exposure to carbon monoxide accounts for approximately 15,000 emergency department visits and 500 deaths each year in the United States. In Tennessee, officially, 12 people have died since 2013 as a result of non-fire related carbon monoxide poisoning. This past September, Tennessee commemorated its first Carbon Monoxide Awareness Day in an effort to stop this preventable loss of life. Carbon monoxide detectors, which often look like smoke detectors but have a much different function, should be installed on every level of a home and near sleeping areas. Both types of detectors should be tested regularly to make sure they work properly. Those who hear an alarm from their home’s CO detector should leave the structure immediately and call 911. TDH recommends batteryoperated or battery back-up detectors be installed to provide protection even during power outages. The cost of detectors and the work to install them are smart investments when families consider the potentially deadly consequences of carbon monoxide exposure. In some instances, carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal before a person displays symptoms, which may include nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, dizziness, blurred vision, headaches and fainting. One common source of CO is electricity backup generators, which are often used when power is interrupted during winter storms. “If winter weather causes a power outage, a portable electric-
ity generator can be quite valuable, but it’s important to know the fuel-powered engines can create toxic amounts of carbon monoxide, so they should only be used outdoors,” said Julie Mix McPeak, Tennessee Commerce and Insurance Commissioner and Tennessee State Fire Marshal. “Never use one in a home or garage and place them at least 20 feet away from doors and windows. We want Tennesseans to stay safe this winter while keeping warm,” McPeak said. TDH and the State Fire Marshal’s Office encourage residents to have a technician service their heating system, water heater and any other gas, oil or coal-burning appliances to ensure they are not emitting dangerous levels of CO. Both also warn residents to never use a charcoal grill, camp stove or other gas-burning device inside a home, basement or garage, and to never burn anything in a stove or fireplace that is not properly vented to the outdoors. The two agencies encourage consumers to read reviews of currently available carbon monoxide detectors. The devices range in price from less than $30 to more than $300, and are available with three different sensor systems: biometric, metal-oxide semiconductor or electrochemical. Consumers should understand CO detection devices have different service lives and must be replaced based upon manufacturer’s recommendations, often in the 5-7 year range, and that all devices may give occasional false readings. “CO detectors vary in price, quality and reliability so it’s important to do some research before selecting one,” said Craig Shepherd, a director in the TDH Communicable and Environmental Diseases and Emergency Preparedness office. “If you have an older one, check with the manufacturer to learn how long it will detect CO and replace it if it’s out of date,” Shepherd added. “If you are buying a new one, consider one that records highest CO levels over time; this feature can help determine the severity of a CO problem in a home or business. Whichever detector you buy, read the instructional materials that come with it, test its batteries often and replace it when it is past its service life.” Shepherd said the prevalence of carbon monoxide may be more common than most people believe. He said routine exams performed as part of Tennessee’s Baby and Me smoking cessation program in 2015 revealed troublesome levels of CO in four different mothers. Inspections of their homes revealed problems with gas heating systems; quickly performed repairs may have saved lives in each home.

CCHHS meeting to offer pictorial history of area At the January meeting of the Charleston-Calhoun-Hiwassee Historical Society, Laura Spann will present a pictorial history of buildings, landmarks, and businesses located in the Calhoun and Charleston communities. More than 50 photographs from 1900 to 1960 serve as a window to the past and document a slower pace of life in bygone times. Only a few of these historic landmarks are still in existence, and those have been significantly altered. Also at the meeting, new architectural drawings of the addition and proposed remodeling of The Hiwassee River Heritage Center will be revealed. This is the first time the public will get to see the New Heritage Center drawings with the new meeting room and museum area. The public is invited to attend on today at 3 p.m. at the Hiwassee River Heritage Center on Highway 11 in Charleston.

Concentrate on what you can do and make the changes that will improve your life. Home improvements and working toward better relationships with loved ones should take top priority. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can motivate others and capture their attention if you express your ideas and plans enthusiastically, but don't take on more than what you can handle. Try not to lose the support you've worked so hard to gain. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make a difference by sharing your concerns and solutions. Don't let your health suffer or a personal relationship cause you grief. If someone is a poor influence on you, be prepared to move forward alone. Birthday Baby: You are determined, pragmatic and always prepared. You are cautious and traditional.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronomers have discovered the brightest star explosion ever, a super supernova that easily outshines our entire Milky Way. An international team revealed “the most powerful supernova observed in human history” Thursday in the latest Science journal. The astronomers used a network of telescopes around the world to spot the recordbreaking supernova last year. Super luminous supernovas — extra bright stellar explosions — are believed to be rare. The newly discovered supernova is especially rare: It is more than twice as luminous as any supernova observed to date, including the previous record-holders. At its peak intensity, it is believed to be 20 times more luminous than the entire Milky Way. Some estimates put it at 50 times brighter. And try this statistic on for size: It is 570 billion times brighter at its peak than our sun. Lead author Subo Dong of China’s Peking University said when he learned the magnitude of the discovery last summer, he was “too excited to sleep the rest of the night.” Fellow researcher Benjamin Shappee of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Pasadena, California, didn’t believe the
results at first, which seemed “surreal.” “Discoveries like this are the reason I am an astronomer,” Shappee said in an email. “Nature is extremely clever and it is often more imaginative than we can be.” Labeled ASASSN-15lh for the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae and pronounced “assassin,” the mega blast is located in a galaxy perhaps 3.8 billion light-years away. The precise galaxy is unknown. There are other puzzles as well. “The explosion’s mechanism and power source remain shrouded in mystery because all known theories meet serious challenges in explaining the immense amount of energy ASASSN15lh has radiated,” Dong said in a statement. The next step for scientists is to figure out its incredible power source. Other super supernovas, like this one, could be out there. More observatories are on the case, including some NASA spacecraft. The Hubble Space Telescope will be pressed into service this year as well. Dong said ASASSN-15lh “may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of super luminous supernova.” —Online: Science: http:// www.sciencemag.org/
Bones of hunted mammoth show early human presence NEW YORK (AP) — The remains of a mammoth that was hunted down about 45,000 years ago have revealed the earliest known evidence of humans in the Arctic. Marks on the bones, found in far northern Russia, indicate the creature was stabbed and butchered. The tip of a tusk was damaged in a way that suggests human activity, perhaps to make ivory tools. With a minimal age estimate of 45,000 years, the discovery extends the record of human presence in the Arctic by at least about 5,000 years. The site in Siberia, near the Kara Sea, is also by far the northernmost sign of human presence in Eurasia before 40,000 years ago, Vladimir Pitulko of the Russian Academy of Science in St. Petersburg and coauthors reported in a paper released Thursday by the journal Science. They also briefly report evidence of human hunting at about the same time from a wolf bone found well to the east. That suggests a widespread occupation, although the population was probably sparse, they said. Daniel Fisher, a mammoth expert at the University of Michigan who did not partici-
pate in the study, said the markings on the mammoth bone strongly indicate human hunting. It makes sense to conclude that the hunters were from our own species rather than Neanderthals, John Hoffecker of the University of Colorado at Boulder commented in an email. But Robert Park, an archaeologist at the University of Waterloo in Canada who has studied the bones of hunted animals in the far north, called the evidence for human hunting “pretty marginal.” The beast had been found with remains of its fat hump, while hunters would be expected to take the fat for food and fuel, he said. And the skeleton shows far less butchering than one would expect, he said. Park emphasized he’s not ruling out the idea that the mammoth was hunted. If people were living this far north that long ago, he said, it implies they had not only the technical abilities to carry out mammoth hunts, but also a social organization complex enough to share the food from the relatively rare kills. —Online: Science: http://www.sciencemag.org

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is adding a third company to its short list of space station suppliers, a Nevada business that will bring back a mini version of the shuttle. On Thursday, NASA announced Sierra Nevada Corp. will join SpaceX and Orbital ATK in launching cargo to the International Space Station. These flights will begin in 2019 and run through 2024. This marks a second chance for Sierra Nevada. It competed for NASA’s commercial crew contract, but lost out in 2014 to SpaceX and Boeing in a bid to ferry astronauts. The Sparks, Nevada-based company is developing a scaled-down shuttle called Dream Chaser to haul cargo. The other companies use standard-shaped capsules. Like SpaceX, Sierra Nevada plans to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The spacecraft will be able to land back on Earth, like the shuttle, and bring back science experiments and other items from the station. “Within a few short years, the world will once again see a United States winged vehicle launch and return from
space to a runway landing,” Mark Sirangelo, vice president of Sierra Nevada’s space systems, said in a statement. NASA’s space station program manager, Kirk Shireman, said he’s been assured that the Dream Chaser could touch down on lots of runways — in lots of places. The goal is to retrieve science samples, though, as quickly as possible for analysis. A runway touchdown would be gentler than the ocean parachute drop used by SpaceX. “The air traffic controllers would hate us landing” at Washington Dulles International or other major airports, Shireman said. “Most likely, we’ll land in Florida, right close to where our facilities are.” Now, only SpaceX can return goods. In its latest proposal, SpaceX has offered to return its Dragon capsules to land as well, Shireman said. Other cargo ships, including Orbital’s Cygnus and Russia’s Progress, are filled with trash and burn up on re-entry. Recent launch accidents by SpaceX and Orbital prompted NASA to pick a third vendor, for increased flexibility.

Life with the Kings
New memoir by AP reporter recalls covering MLK and family The Associated Press
In a new memoir, “My Time with the Kings: A Reporter’s Recollections of Martin, Coretta and the Civil Rights Movement,” retired Associated Press reporter Kathryn Johnson describes civil rights flashpoints she covered in the 1960s and details her close relationship with the movement’s leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and his family. As the nation marks the King holiday, here is an excerpt from Johnson’s book, http://www.ap.org/books/mytime-with-the-kings/index.html , in which she recalls an indepth talk with King at his dining room table with his wife Coretta and, years later, her last interview with him, shortly before his assassination. —1964 On a fiercely cold winter night in 1964, I was trudging alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as he led a group of striking marchers at Scripto, a pen and pencil-manufacturing plant near downtown Atlanta. Bundled in a heavy coat, my teeth chattering from the cold, I asked King the usual questions: “How much pay raise are they asking? Where are negotiations at this point? Do you plan to continue striking?” Scripto workers had walked off the job, demanding equal pay with whites for skilled and nonskilled work. King sympathized with the strikers, many of whom were members of his church. The straggly little group hurrying along the cold, dark city street drew little media attention except from one or two local TV reporters (and myself, from the AP). By sheer luck, that assignment led to my meeting later in the privacy of the King home and to my personal introduction to his incredible gifts as an orator. King, ending the freezing march at 11:15 p.m., told me, “This is a dangerous section of town. Let me escort you to your car.” When we reached my car several blocks away, I offered to drive him home. At that time, the Kings lived on nearby Johnson Street. As I stopped the car to let King out, his wife, Coretta, pregnant with their last child, came to the door and said, “Come on in and have some hot coffee. You’ll warm up.” King led me to a phone in his office, and I quickly called in my strike story. I then joined the couple at their dining room table, sipping coffee and talking about what had become known as the Movement. I’d long been impressed with King’s personal magnetism and flow of words at news conferences, but sitting at their table late that night, I was struck by his simple brilliance as a leader. His ability to put into words the longings, the hopes and dreams

Martin Luther King Jr., and his family. of his people, their anguish and their cry for human dignity, clearly was a great gift. After that night — although King was known for never calling reporters by their first names — he always called me Kathryn. King was to me a young, welleducated Baptist minister who came out of the Jim Crow churches of the South preaching brotherhood and nonviolence. But it was into a land filled with violence. Blacks were being beaten, lynched and terrorized by Ku Klux Klansmen who drove into their neighborhoods wearing their long white robes and hooded masks to frighten them. King, too, had been threatened — a bomb had been thrown at his home in Montgomery, Alabama, and later in Atlanta, Klan night riders had burned a cross in his front yard. It was 1:15 a.m. before I left the King home, and both King and Coretta stood at the door waiting until I drove off. At home that morning, I took a breakfast tray into the den so that I could watch TV news. When the Scripto strike story came on, my mother, spotting me as the only white person in the crowd and walking alongside King, questioning him, said, “Honey, be careful. I’m afraid someday someone’s going to try to kill that man.” — 1968Clad in a neat, dark suit and sitting comfortably in a swivel chair in his office with its dingy
“I’ve been to the ghettos; I know the resentments will blow up if something is not done quickly. We’re going all out to get this nation to respond to nonviolence. If it refuses to do this, it will entitle the Negro to so intensify his anger that we will go deeper and deeper into chaos.” — Martin Luther King Jr.
green walls and bare floors, Martin Luther King didn’t seem like the revolutionary leader he was. I had no idea that this would be my last interview with him — it was in 1968, not long before he was assassinated. King had begun speaking of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society — the president’s lifelong dream to revitalize our big cities, protect natural resources and guarantee educational opportunities for all. But that great hope, King told me, was being shot down in the rice paddies of Vietnam. “A few years ago was a shining moment in the civil rights struggle,” he said. “Then came the buildup in Vietnam, and I watched the program broken as if it were an idle plaything of a society gone mad with war.” The nation’s focus was on the war, and King’s fierce distaste for it kept recurring. “The war must be stopped,” he said. Already, he had urged every young man who found the war “objectionable and unjust” to file as a conscientious objector ... King told me he would continue the struggle for equality that had begun in the black churches of the South, but now he had concluded that racism was only part of the problem — that poverty and the Vietnam War were major parts of it. His outspoken opposition to the war was raising fears among civil rights leaders of a stiffening white reaction. Some felt it was a mistake to put the issues of fighting for civil rights together with opposition to the war. “We’ll build our shanties — literal broken-down shanties — to dramatize and symbolize the day-to-day conditions for the way millions of people have to live,” King said. ... At this time, King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference had begun organizing a coalition of black people, Hispanics and poor whites for
the Poor People’s Campaign. His plan was to deal with the whole question of economic justice by taking this squatter army of the nation’s poor to the Mall in Washington. There, the tumbledown shanties would contrast with the cherry blossoms along the Potomac. I never doubted that King could draw thousands for that campaign .... King’s plans were not only to “house the troops of hopeless and embittered poor” he would lead to the capital, but also to dramatize the pain and suffering under which the hardscrabble poor lived at home. His words reminded me of something he had said in an earlier speech: “Now we are a poor people. Don’t let anybody fool you, we’re poor. The vast majority of black people in the United States are smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society ....” King then spoke of the alternative to nonviolence, which he never tired of repeating: “I’ve been to the ghettos; I know the resentments will blow up if something is not done quickly. We’re going all out to get this nation to respond to nonviolence. If it refuses to do this, it will entitle the Negro to so intensify his anger that we will go deeper and deeper into chaos.” While violence created outrage, televised accounts of such events also dramatized the injustice facing his people. King used that strategy in an effort to “shame the nation into action.” When he told me the army of protesters in the Poor People’s Campaign was to invade “the very seat of power,” I asked, “How effective would they be?” He replied that he had few illusions about persuading Congress to action. “Congress sits there, recalcitrant, a sickness upon them. When you look at Congress, you see they are never moved to act unless the nation gets them to move. We

Martin Luther King Jr., and his family.
“Under his leadership millions of black Americans emerged from spiritual imprisonment, from fear, from apathy, and took to the streets to proclaim their freedom.” — Stanley Levison never got the civil rights bill until we had Selma,” he said, referring to the assault on peaceful demonstrators in that Alabama town. “A new kind of Selma is needed,” he said. King told me he had long weighed and agonized over the risk of such action, but he felt the Poor People’s campaign was a “last-ditch chance for nonviolence.” I asked, “What about the risk of a takeover by extremists?” King replied, “I am convinced I can control them. If we came to a situation where our actions were leading to violence, I would call it off.” He began talking about the enormous wealth of America, which he felt should be used through tax policies to promote chances of a decent life for the poor. Already, King had called for a guaranteed annual wage — a call that alarmed not only the business world, but the federal government. Some black leaders and scholars thought King’s plans for his Poor People’s Campaign were becoming too militant, and a few were beginning to desert him, saying he should stick to civil rights. King also spoke of the pressures facing him, including criticism from his own staff. There were times when he had to oppose his own followers, when he felt it necessary to take his message to a wider public. At this time, King was either admired or hated .... As a symbol of integration, he was the object of unrelenting, sometimes brutal attacks. As these increased, King steadily
became overworked, and I noticed how tired he was beginning to look. With his guiding principle of nonviolent action, King became the symbol of the black struggle. Their revolt against oppression could easily have gone in a different, even deadly direction. It did not, thanks to King’s creed of nonviolence. More than any other man, King was the voice of the Movement. Yet, in the heyday of the ‘60s, a great many others helped change America. Too little credit is given to the women who were crucial in the fight to end segregation, as were the many capable young black ministers who worked with King. After King was killed, two of his trusted friends, Harry Belafonte, the singer and activist, and Stanley Levison, a white lawyer and longtime adviser to King, wrote, “Under his leadership millions of black Americans emerged from spiritual imprisonment, from fear, from apathy, and took to the streets to proclaim their freedom.” Those words echoed what King himself once said: “The real victory was what this period did to the psyche of the black man. The greatness of this period was that we armed ourselves with dignity and self-respect.” After his death, some whites — and a few blacks — tried to transform him into merely a dreamer. King was a dreamer, all right, but he was also a revolutionary .... —http://www.ap.org/books/m y - t i m e - w i t h - t h e kings/index.html

More employers try to help workers pay student loans NEW YORK (AP) — Employers are discovering that making it easier for workers to pay off their student loans helps to attract and keep a happy workforce. More and more companies are helping workers refinance their debts at better rates, giving employees extra cash for loan payments, or even paying their workers’ lenders directly. It’s a major benefit for millennials — people 35 and under — who are struggling to pay thousands of dollars in student debts as they enter the workforce. “It’s actually helped me quite a lot,” says Christina Lin, a graphic designer who sliced her $3,800 in student loan debt in half within six months with help from her employer, ChowNow. This is not as simple as it sounds: Many college graduates end up owing multiple lenders, and the tax implications can be complicated. Employers also
want to make sure the money goes to the right place. This has created a niche for a handful of startups helping employers deliver the benefit. Just 3 percent of employers helped workers repay student loans last year, according to a survey of more than 460 human resource managers conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management. But more are starting to offer it, including some big-name companies. Beginning in July, New Yorkbased accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers plans to give certain employees with student loan debt as much as $1,200 a year for up to six years. Kronos Inc., a software company in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, will pay employees up to $500 a year toward student loan debts for as long as they need it. And some U.S. employees of Paris-
based Natixis Global Asset Management can get $5,000 to go toward their federal loans, plus more if they stay with the company for more than five years. Microsoft Corp. gives its workers the option to refinance student loans at discounted interest rates thanks to the company’s relationship with online lender SoFi. It doesn’t cost Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft anything, but SoFi says some of its 200 clients pay the lender to deliver even lower rates for their workers. The class of 2014 graduated with an average of $28,950 in student loan debt, up 2 percent from the year before, according to the Project on Student Loan Debt. Employers say workers tell them their debts make it impossible to save for retirement or buy a home. “Millennials are being crushed
by student debt,” says Michael Fenlon, the global talent leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers, which enlisted a startup, Gradifi, to handle the new benefit. Gradifi and Tuition.io focus on processing the payments by employers; each say they already are working with about 100 companies each to provide it. Others, including Sofi, Credible and CommonBond, enable companies to help refinance their workers’ student debts with more manageable rates and payment plans. EdAssist, which has managed tuition payment benefits for employers for about nine years, began offering student loan repayments as well last year. “Millennials are asking for it,” says Bruce Elliott, a manager of compensation and benefits at the Society for Human Resource Management. That matters, because millen-

SAlem STATe University history professor Emerson Baker walks through an area that he and a team of researchers said is the exact site where 19 innocent people were hanged during the 1692 witch trials in Salem, Mass. Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll said the city plans to put a tasteful memorial at the site, which is known as Proctor’s Ledge and is surrounded by private homes.
Researchers confirm site of hangings for Salem witch trials SALEM, Mass. (AP) — A team of researchers using historical documents and 21st-century archaeological techniques has confirmed the exact site where 19 innocent people were hanged during the Salem witch trials more than three centuries ago. The site, known as Proctor’s Ledge, is a small city-owned plot of woods nestled between two residential streets and behind a Walgreens pharmacy, said Salem State University history professor Emerson “Tad” Baker, a member of the seven-person team, which announced its findings this week. Historian Sidney Perley had pinpointed Proctor’s Ledge nearly a century ago as the site of the hangings by using historical documents, but his findings were lost to time, and myth, misconceptions and conspiracy theories had taken their place, Baker said. The current research, known as the Gallows Hill Project, was about correcting the misinformation many people have about one of the most tragic episodes in American history.
“We are not discovering anything, and we don’t want to take credit for that,” he said. “This is all about the healing, not about the discovery.” Twenty people suspected of witchcraft were killed in Salem in 1692 during a frenzy stoked by superstition, fear of disease and strangers, and petty jealousies. Nineteen were hanged, and one man was crushed to death by rocks. “The witch trials cast a long dark shadow on Salem history,” Baker said. The top of nearby Gallows Hill had long been thought of as the site of the hangings, but there was no evidence to support that, Baker said. Proctor’s Ledge is at the base of Gallows Hill. To determine the spot, the team looked at eyewitness accounts of the hangings, then used modern-day aerial photography and ground penetrating radar not available a century ago. The team made other interesting discoveries. They determined there probably never was a gallows at the site. More than likely, the executioners tossed a rope
over a large tree. Baker also stressed that there is no evidence that any of the victims were buried at Proctor’s Ledge — it’s too rocky and the soil is too shallow. “I think knowing the exact location where the executions took place is important because we want to get history right,” Mayor Kim Driscoll said. “It’s also an opportunity to come together and recognize the injustice and tragedy.” The city plans to place a marker at the site but also wants to respect the rights of the people who live in the area, the mayor said. The city doesn’t want visitors tramping through private backyards looking for the spot, she said. Instead, she encourages visitors to go to the memorial and museum downtown. Baker said a memorial at the site is important. “We need to have that exact spot marked so it can never be lost again,” he said. —Online: http://bit.ly/ 1U0HB0q
Launching cancer moonshot, Biden says politics impeding cure PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden launched a “moonshot” initiative Friday to hasten a cure for cancer, aiming to use his final year in office to break down barriers in the medical world he says are holding back progress on eradicating the dreaded disease. Biden chose Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia as his venue to call attention to the institute’s pioneering efforts on immunotherapy, in which a patient’s own immune system is deployed against cancer cells. After touring the facility’s Center for Advanced Cellular Therapeutics, Biden sat down with doctors, researchers and academics to discuss recent advances. “You’re on the cusp of some phenomenal breakthroughs,” he said. “In my terms - not your medical terms - we are at an inflection point in the fight against cancer.” With barely a year left, Biden has yet to lay out exactly what he’ll do that hasn’t been done in the half century since President Richard Nixon declared war on cancer. But Biden said in addition
the CEO of ChowNow, which uses Tuition.io to handle the benefit. Workers need to examine the benefits carefully. If refinancing, they should make sure the terms are better than what they already pay. Those with federal loans may lose protections and perks by switching to other lenders. And loan payments — like cash — are currently taxable as income. Legislation in Congress could change that. The Employer Participation in Student Loan Assistance Act, for example, proposes making up to $5,250 a year in employer payments for student loan debts tax-free for the worker, and eligible for tax breaks for the employer. The bill introduced in October is sponsored by Republican Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois, and has been gathering co-sponsors.

New Mexico pueblo reclaims historic tribal homeland ISLETA PUEBLO, N.M. (AP) — A Native American pueblo at the edge of New Mexico’s largest city added 140 square miles of its historic homelands to its jurisdiction Friday under a deal the U.S. Interior Department says represents the single largest transfer of land back to a tribe’s control. Under the agreement, the Pueblo of Isleta south of Albuquerque will place a 90,000-acre ranch into federal trust — a move that transfers governmental oversight of the land back to the tribe. “We are going to use this as another inspirational example for other tribes across the country for the importance of homelands,” said Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, who joined the pueblo’s governor in signing the land into trust. “This is vastly different than the U.S. government-to-government relationship with tribes that took place for several hundreds of years, which was one of assimilation of Native people, killing of the culture, allocating lands to the individuals.” Restoring tribal homelands has been a key part of the Obama administration’s Indian Country policy, which Jewell said represents a shift from historic federal policy that resulted in tribes losing millions of acres of land across the U.S. over several hundred years. The Obama administration is aiming, before the end of the president’s term next January, to place 500,000 acres into trust for tribes, officials said. With the Isleta Pueblo transfer on Friday, the administration had taken about 400,000 acres into trust. The change essentiallly ensures the land can’t be taken from the pueblo or sold because only a congressional vote can remove the land from the pueblo’s ownership or jurisdictional control. “This land will be forever Isleta’s,” said Larry Roberts, the Interior Department’s acting assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs. “The whole point is for expanding a permanent homeland.”
nials surpassed Generation X to become the largest cohort in the workforce last year, according to the Pew Research Center, and their options are improving along with the job market. The vast majority say their ability to pay student loans would affect whether they take a job, according to a survey by the American Student Assistance, a nonprofit that helps borrowers manage their student debt. Lin pays about $150 on her debts each month, and ChowNow chips in another percentage, about $40. The Los Angeles company, which powers online and app ordering for restaurants, now pays up to $500 per year per employee, and plans to increase that to $1,000 this year. “It’s harder to hire great talent, and this is another great tool to do that,” says Christopher Webb,
to pushing for more funding, he would use his influence to “break down silos” he says are pervasive throughout the sprawling and fragmented world of cancer Since declaring his “moonshot” in October, Biden has been searching for answers about what’s holding back a cure, with all the meticulousness of a physician diagnosing disease. His conclusion: The hold-up, in large part, lies in the cancer world itself. Meeting with scientists Friday, Biden recalled his grandfather’s adage that the world has three kinds of politics: church politics, labor politics and regular politics. “I hope you’re not offended, but there are four kinds of politics in America. There’s cancer politics,” Biden said. He deemed that particular flavor even more vexing than the rest. But Jim Greenwood, CEO of BIO, which represents the biotech industry, said there’s a reason why organizations developing treatments must keep some information to themselves. “There are prioprietary interests, and the model for developing drugs in the U.S. is done by the
private sector,” Greenwood said. “That means competition, and there’s a lot of benefit to that.” Still, Biden has described a system in which competition, territorialism and “stove-piping” of information leave researchers and their discoveries cloistered in their own corners. His campaign this year will work to encourage more data-sharing about patient data and treatment outcomes. “My hope is that I can be a catalyst, to oversimplify it, to get everybody on the same page,” Biden said. A key focus will be promising advances such as immunotherapy. At the cancer center Biden visited Friday, researchers are exploring what’s known as chimeric antigen receptor technology, in which a patient’s immune cells are engineered outside of their body to hunt for tumors, then infused back into the patient’s body. The White House said 250 patients have been treated with the approach, with early promising results. Another priority for the vice president is to further “precision medicine,” which personalizes
treatments based on the genetic makeup of a patient’s tumors. Cancer researchers who met with Biden recently said he was intrigued by the possibilities for improving prevention and early detection. Biden planned to continue the effort next week by convening global cancer experts at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Then he’ll chair a series of meetings with Cabinet secretaries in about ways to boost federal funds. For Biden, the emotional undertones of his mission are difficult to avoid. After his 46-yearold son, Beau Biden, died from brain cancer in May, Biden entered a period of painfully public mourning, followed eventually by his decision not to enter the presidential race. “This is still a blow that he’s still recovering from,” said former Sen. Ted Kaufman, a Biden confidante for many decades. “He’s in his problem-solving mode. He’s more comfortable in this area because of his desire to eliminate this thing that caused him so much damage.”

Average rate on 30-year mortgage falls to 3.92 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates fell this week amid continued turbulence in global stock markets. It was the second straight weekly decline for the rate on the key 30-year loan. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on a 30-year fixed-
rate mortgage dipped to 3.92 percent from 3.97 percent a week earlier. That rate has increased from its 3.66 percent average a year ago but remains well below its historic average of 6 percent. The average rate on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages eased to 3.19 percent from 3.26 percent.

FINANCING AVAILABLE THROUGH:
The tumult in stock markets around the world that started off the year, triggered by economic stability in China, continued in the latest week. That has pushed up prices of U.S. government bonds, depressing their yields, which mortgage rates track. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond fell to 2.09 percent Wednesday from 2.17 percent a week earlier. The yield slipped further to 2.06 percent Thursday morning. The declining mortgage rates have spurred more prospective homebuyers to apply for loans. Mortgage applications, including refinancings, jumped 21.3 percent in the week ended Jan. 8 from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The association’s seasonally-
adjusted mortgage purchase index — which rose 18 percent in the latest week — reached its second-highest level since May 2010. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country at the beginning of each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged from last week at 0.6 point. The fee for a 15-year loan remained at 0.5 point. The average rate on five-year adjustable-rate mortgages fell to 3.01 percent from 3.09 percent; the fee slipped to 0.4 point from 0.5 point.
