JACKSON COUNTY — It’s been ru-mored since the new year began, but nowit’s official — Eaton Corporation is clos-ing up its Jackson County facilities.

According to a memo dated Feb. 2, theTennessee Department of Labor receivednotice of a layoff affecting 93 employees,effective March 26, 2016.

“This is really a big blow for us,” Jack-son County Mayor Bobby Kinnaird said.“It’s 40 percent of our manufacturingworkforce.”

Employees were reportedly told in earlyJanuary that the plant would shut downin the fourth quarter of 2016 and wouldbe moving operations overseas.Kinnaird noted that he had known about

this for a year, saying that it wasn’t agood sign that the company only signedthe lease for a year. There are two build-ings Eaton’s Jackson County plant oper-ates out of — one is owned by thecompany and the other by the county’sIndustrial Development Board.“It’s been in operation here for a num-

ber of years,” Kinnaird said. “They havesome really good paying jobs, too.”

In looking at the fourth quarter operat-ing earnings, the hydraulics segment —which is what the Jackson County facil-ity focused on — sales were down 18percent from the fourth quarter of 2014.The Jackson County facility manufac-

tures steel and brass fittings used in hy-draulic and fluid conveyanceapplications.“They can buy the parts cheaper than

they can make them,” Kinnaird said.The company is also implementing the

second phase of a restructuring plan thatwas announced in 2015.Eaton is a power management company

with 2015 sales of $20.9 billion. It pro-vides energy-efficient solutions that helpcustomers effectively manage electrical,hydraulic and mechanical power moreefficiently, safely and sustainably.Worldwide, Eaton has approximately

97,000 employees and sells products tocustomers in more than 175 countries.Kinnaird is hoping another industry will

come in to fill the gap.“A lot of these employees live here in

Jackson County,” he said. “They’d haveto travel out of county to find work.”Messages left for media relations at

Eaton were not returned by press time.

Lyman Schroeder pauses to remember his late wife, Juanita on the bridge built in her memory at the Upper Cum-berland Christian Home.

By MEGAN TROTTERHERALD-CITIZEN Staff

COOKEVILLE — A bridge now crossesover a little creek in front of Upper Cumber-land Christian Home in Cookeville, servingas a bittersweet reminder to LymanSchroeder of his late wife Juanita and theirunusual love story. Not everyone can saythey married their high school sweetheart 60

years after their first date, however that’sjust how the story went for this couple.They dated in the 1940s, staying together

even after Lyman enlisted in the Army andleft for a base in Kentucky. However, afterwhile, the couple went their separate ways.Juanita got a job and eventually married an-other man and moved to Tennessee. Lymanwas one of the soldiers who landed on UtahBeach on D-Day and one of only two men

on his barge who survived more than fiveminutes after they’d landed. When he gothome, he took over his family’s farm andmarried another woman. He and his familymoved to California.They both had children and lived their own

lives, never expecting to meet again. Bothof their spouses passed away — Juanita’s in

PUTNAM COUNTY — A 10-year-old boy in Putnam County hasmade some unusual new friends togive a Valentine this year — atrained bloodhound for the PutnamCounty Sheriff’s Department, herdeputy handler and another deputy.The trio came to the boy’s aid late

one afternoon last October.The Putnam County Sheriff’s Of-

fice dispatch received an urgent callin the late afternoon of Oct. 20 fromRosa Perez, the mother of the boy,Raidel Martinez, saying he wasmissing from the backyard wherehe had been playing.“I’ve responded to lots of calls for

assistance, including murders andother life-threatening situations, butI have to say — rescuing littleRaidel has been the highlight of mycareer,” said Deputy Matt Scott,handler of K-9 deputy Maggie,who is used often by the sheriff’sdepartment for search and rescueoperations.Maggie has a very sensitive nose

and the stamina to stay on scent forlong periods of time, Deputy Scottexplained.In other words, she doesn’t give

up until she’s found what or whoshe’s looking for — and that wascertainly true in the search forRaidel.With dusk quickly approaching

on that autumn afternoon, DeputyScott with Maggie and DeputyPatrick Short responded immedi-ately.When they arrived on the scene,

Raidel’s parents told the deputies

COOKEVILLE — Diners at an InterstateDrive restaurant last week might havefound their meals difficult to swallow aftera Cookeville woman caused a concerningdisturbance.

Heather Lynn Herndon, of New HeritageDrive, was charged with public intoxicationand resisting arrest in connection with theincident.

According to Cookeville Police OfficerRydr Cook, he and other officers respondedafter a possible disturbance was reported atthe restaurant.

“Upon my arrival, I began to make en-trance into the restaurant when another per-son exiting told me that he thought the

suspect was attempting to leave,” OfficerCook reports.That man pointed the officer toward the

woman’s vehicle, and from there, OfficerCook said he approached her car and toldher to park.“The female, later identified as Heather

Herndon, then parked the car, and I had herstep out,” the officer said.He asked her what had happened previ-

ously inside the restaurant.“She told me she overheard other diners

next to her call her and her friend names.She then went over to them and confrontedthem,” Officer Cook said.“At that point, she made threats about how

she had a handgun carry permit and shewould shoot them,” the officer continued.Following those threatening statements,

the woman reportedly exited the restaurantand went to her vehicle.“While she was explaining to me what had

happened, she began yelling at me,” the of-ficer said.“I explained to her that she did not need to

yell at me since I was not the one who shewas frustrated [with],” Officer Cook con-tinued.He asked for the woman’s identification,

and she reached into the car to retrieve it.When he asked her if there were any

weapons in the car, he said, she became bel-ligerent.“At that point, I told her that I was going

to detain her,” the officer said.She began resisting and actively fighting

Officer Cook and Officers Brian Haworthand Jamar Minter, who were assisting.

Herndon reportedly attempted to pull outof the handcuffs as officers placed them onher wrists, and she also repeatedly kicked atthe officers.Officer Cook said he had to push her legs

away to seatbelt her into the patrol car be-fore transporting her to jail.Sgt. Jon Giezentanner followed Officer

Cook to the jail, and when he attempted tocompliantly retrieve her from the patrol car,she slid to the passenger side and raised herlegs to kick at him.So Officer Cook said he removed her from

the passenger’s side of the car.Upon arriving inside the Putnam County

Jail, Herndon reportedly remained so bel-ligerent and resistant that correctional offi-cers initially had to place her in a restraintchair.

Woman arrested after disturbance at Interstate Drive restaurant

1966 and Lyman’s in 1993. Theycontinued living their own quietlives until one year when Lymanvisited his sister back in Michi-gan. He decided he wanted to visitone of the areas where he hadtrained in the Army, which just sohappened to be near whereJuanita was now living. He gother number from his sister, whohad stayed in touch with Juanitaover the years, and got Juanita’spermission to drop by for a visitwhile he was in town. She agreed.It didn’t take long before thespark of their long-ago lovereignited.

Dean Cobb, director of UpperCumberland Christian Home, re-members how Juanita told the taleof her marriage.

“When Lyman was trying to getback with Juanita, she had had a

stroke in the previous years anddidn’t think it would be fair tohim,” Cobb said. “He said, ‘Thatdon’t matter. I’ll take care of you.’She still wouldn’t say yes. So, oneof her very dear friends who sheworked with said, ‘If you don’tsay yes, I’m going to!’ She finallyagreed.”Lyman and Juanita were married

Dec. 24, 2002, in the woods nearGatlinburg, where they sharedtheir very first kiss. At the recep-tion, guests enjoyed the couple’sfavorite treat, peanut butter andhoney sandwiches, in the shape ofa cake. Gail Woodard, Juanita’sdaughter, remembers that it didn’ttake long for her to accept hernew step-father.“His humor is priceless,” she

said. “He is prince charming in-carnate. All you have to do is bearound him for a very short periodof time, and you fall in love with

him.”She laughs when she remembers

what happened after the weddingceremony, when she came withthem on a road trip to Michigan tovisit family together.“That first night, when we pull

into the hotel parking lot, mamareaches over and grabs me andsays in a panicked voice, ‘You’respending the night with me.’ AndI said, ‘No, I’m not! You marriedthis man. I can’t spend everynight with you. You have to stayhere!’ And she said, ‘No, I’m not.You’re staying with me!’ So therewe were in the motel room, thethree of us. He got in one bed andmama and I got in the other bed. Ijust kept thinking, ‘This is nothappening. I don’t believe this.’”The next evening when they got

to Michigan, the same panic sizedJuanita and she insisted that herdaughter had to stay the night

with her again. “She gave me a key to the room

and told me, ‘You come in herewhen it gets dark. You bettercome back in here!’ I said,‘Mama, I am not coming in here!’And I didn’t. I went to a cousin’shouse. Then the next morningwhen I saw her, she came up tome and said, ‘Do you still havethat key that I gave you?’ I said,‘Yes.’ And she said, ‘Give itback.’” Woodard laughed as shetold the tale. “From then on, theynever left each other’s side.”Lyman moved in with Juanita at

the Upper Cumberland ChristianHome and the pair were marriedalmost 13 years before she be-came ill late last year and eventu-ally was moved to hospice care.The hospice facility was directlyacross a tiny road from Juanitaand Lyman’s home, but a littlecreek made a direct path impossi-

ble.“There were two tattered, unsafe

planks there across the creek, somy brother and I, we decided tobuild a bridge. I call it the Bridgeto Hospice,” Woodard said.Woodard’s brother, Philip Loftis,

an engineer graduate of TennesseeTech, purchased the lumber andconstructed the bridge, aside fromthe last step, which was put inplace by Woodard and Lyman.The family traveled back andforth over the bridge for the twomonths that Juanita was in hos-pice before she passed away thispast December. Now, the bridgeserves as a tribute for Juanita, giv-ing her family a special spot to re-member her. However, they hopethe bridge is a blessing to thecommunity as well.

“It’s not just for us, but for any-one who wants to walk across thegrounds,” Woodard said.

they had found the boy’s shoes near a water-fall in the woods behind their residence onSulfur Ridge Road — but there was no signof Raidel nearby.

Deputy Scott prepared Maggie to trackwhile Deputy Short obtained one of Raidel’sshirts to take with them as a secondary scentarticle.

Maggie tracked north until she came outonto a road, where the deputies then laiddown the shirt for her to scent, and she begantracking southwest down the driveway of aneighboring home, leading the deputies to awood line.

Deputy Short shouted Raidel’s name, andthey said they both heard a faint reply fromsomewhere off in the woods.

At that point, Maggie began tracking downa steep hillside, and when the deputies gotabout halfway down, they yelled again forRaidel.

That time, they heard his voice calling backto them more distinctly, telling them he couldsee their flashlights.

They asked him if he was hurt, and he an-swered that his leg was hurting.

The deputies told the boy to stay where hewas and that they were coming to his assis-tance.

Maggie continued to track down the hillsideuntil the deputies came to a creek.From there, the K-9 turned right and began

tracking up the creek for about 30 more feet.That’s when the deputies saw Raidel sittingnext to a tree.

“When we found him he was sitting on theground hugging a tree. He told us that histeacher had taught his class that if they evergot lost, they were supposed to hug a tree andwait for help. This keeps them from wander-ing even farther away. In this case, it worked

perfectly,” Deputy Scott said.The deputies advised dispatch that they had

made contact with the boy and began assess-ing him for injuries.He told them he was thirsty, and one of his

knees was visibly swollen.The deputies gave the boy a bottle of water

and advised dispatch to send the PutnamCounty Rescue Squad’s rope team to help getthe boy to the top of the steep hill, which wasapproximately 160 feet up.A short time later, Raidel was reunited with

his concerned parents, then transported toCookeville Regional Medical Center forevaluation.He had no serious injuries and was soon

sent back home with his parents.Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris com-

mended Deputy Scott and Maggie, as wellas the entire K-9 team.“This could have been a much more serious

situation. Fortunately, the parents called usright away, and we had the resources to im-mediately deploy so that the scent was stillfresh,” he said.“I’m so proud of our K-9 team. They’ve

trained hard and continue to perform at thetop of their class in every situation we throwat them. I’m just happy that Raidel was okayand we were able to reunite the family soquickly,” Sheriff Farris concluded.

Thirty-six families were includedin the count. Six of Putnam’shomeless were veterans, and 19adults were homeless for the firsttime.

Burdett said six adults in PutnamCounty were considered chroni-cally homeless, which means theyhave been homeless for over 12months in the past three years andhave a physical or mental disabil-ity.

The average length of homeless-ness for Putnam County adults is249 days, and the median is 90days.

As to the accuracy of the count,Burdett said, “Of course, it’s an es-timate. Obviously this is a mini-mum number. There werehomeless we missed. You justcan’t find them all. Many home-

less people hide. To guess how faroff we are is always tricky.”As for the other counties, Burdett

says he’s waiting on a couple ofcounties he expects will boost theoverall count.“Right now have 210, but that

could go up, probably between 40and 70 more,” he said.

Last year, 362 homeless peoplewere counted in the 18-county areaserved by HART, including Put-nam as well as Cannon, Clay,Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress,Jackson, Macon, Morgan, Over-ton, Pickett, Roane, Scott, Smith,Van Buren, Warren, White andWilson counties. “Wilson County was a county

where we got a lot of surveysdone, but that is an area where wehave homeless telling us therewere 20 in the woods,” Burdettsaid. “Those were numbers we

can’t use for our count. I have tophysically see them.”Another factor that could impact

the homeless count is having vol-unteers who know the area and arefamiliar with where the homelesscan be found, something Burdettsaid is critical and was lacking inthree or four of the 18 counties.Although Burdett said the sur-

veys were helpful in establishingdemographics for the homelesspopulation, he received many sur-veys where all of the answers tothe questions were “no.”The questions the homeless could

have answered “yes” or “no” in-cluded questions about substanceabuse problems, physical disabili-ties, AIDS or HIV, domestic vio-lence or problems that could leadto retaining employment.“I have lot of surveys that they

answered ‘no’ to everything, but

yet they’re homeless,” Burdettsaid. “Those tend to be more of theyounger population. They’re fi-nancially not able to sustain hous-ing. They might just not havegotten the right skill set. Our un-employment is dropping, but un-deremployment is steady. It’s hardto sustain housing on minimumwage.“I see a lot of people who are

working who are just unable to af-ford housing,” Burdett said.Burdett said he did personally in-

terview homeless people in WilsonCounty who said they were sur-vivors of domestic violence, andseveral said they were abused aschildren.“It (abuse) throws off their psy-

che,” Burdett explained. “It makesit difficult to deal with adult situa-tions.”As for what can be done to help

the homeless, Burdett said, “That’sa good question. How can thecommunity help homeless individ-uals?”Burdett said there are agencies to

help, but many are reactionary.“When you’re dealing with men-

tal health, health and human serv-ices, we need more of that in ourregion, to help people deal withtheir issues, which would fall intohomeless prevention,” Burdettsaid.The U.S. Department of Housing

and Urban Development or HUDhas to report to Congress everytwo years about the state of home-lessness in America in order to seewhat programs are working andwhich ones need to be improved. If you or someone you know is

homeless, call (931) 484-7020 or(844) 556-7626, visit the websiteat hartn.org or email

COOKEVILLE — A requestfor a variance to reduce thebuilding setback requirementwas approved by the Cookevilleboard of zoning appeals, withone contingency, in a brief meet-ing held Thursday night.The BZA considered a request

from Jerry Gaw to reduce theminimum front setback require-ment for a portion of propertylocated at the southeast intersec-tion of Buffalo Valley Road andWest Stevens Street.“The subject property is zoned

as RM-14, Multi-Family Resi-dential,” James Mills, director ofCookeville planning depart-

ment, said. “Mr. Gaw has sub-mitted plans to construct 10 sin-gle family attached (townhouse)dwelling units on the subjectproperty. Seven attached unitswould be constructed on theeastern portion of the propertyand three would be constructedon the western portion.”The site plan indicates that one

of the proposed townhouseswould encroach the required set-back off Buffalo Valley by 5.5feet.This property is located where

the city has developed plans torealign the intersection of Buf-falo Valley Road and WestStevens Street. The intent of therealignment is to make WestStevens Street the through street

with Buffalo Valley Road trafficstopping at the new intersectionwith West Stevens Street.As part of the improvement,

the city will be acquiring ap-proximately .19 acres of Gaw’sproperty.“In the opinion of the planning

department, the proposed vari-ance is the minimum necessaryto allow a reasonable use of theproperty,” Mills said.The BZA approved the request,

contingent upon there be nofencing on the end lots due tovisibility concerns.Jane Flatt was absent from

Thursday’s meeting.The Cookeville BZA meets the

second Thursday of the month at5:15 p.m. as business dictates.

Both Bernieand Hillary failEconomics 101D

emocrats Bernie Sandersand Hillary Clinton havearticulated interesting

economic agendas that “profes-sional” debate moderators eithercan’t or choose not to pursue indepth in their forums.Perhaps this modest column

can assist them.Democratic

SocialistSanders in-sists on rais-ing theminimumwage to a“livable”wage. Eitherhe misunder-stands the na-ture ofentry-level,low-payingjobs or he

truly believes a fast food retailerwill keep as many part-timeworkers at $15 an hour as $8 anhour.The largest percentage of mini-

mum wage earners negatively af-fected by mandated increases areurban African-American teenmales and suburban white teenfemales.When the federal government

raised the minimum wage $0.70per hour in 2009, unemploymentamong black teens rose from 39to 50 percent.As the minimum wage rose by

41 percent between 2007 and2009 — it had a disastrous effecton all teenagers. The jobless ratefor 16-19 year olds increased byten percentage points, fromabout 16 percent in 2007 to morethan 26 percent in 2009. Whether the worker is a

teenager or adult, Department ofLabor tables prove arbitrarilyraising the minimum wage bygovernment fiat alters the hourlywage for too many of theseworkers from their currenthourly wage to zero.Most constituents don’t know

this, or they would reject suchpolitical dishonesty. They be-lieve the politician who says heor she is going to force themean, greedy employer to paythem more. Hooray for social-ism.Hillary is also willing to throw

a good number of strugglingminimum wage earners to thestreets with a mandatory $12 anhour minimum wage.If you’re reading this at your

entry-level minimum wage jobright now, look around at yourco-workers. If they’re workinghard while you’re reading, theymight not be the ones who getkicked out the back door shouldHillary or Bernie win the elec-tion.Hillary promises to rebuild

America’s infrastructure. So hasevery other politician, includingObama. The question that needsto be answered is who is compe-tent enough to actually get it

done?President Obama promised bil-

lions to rebuild infrastructure.About 3 percent of your “stimu-lus” tax dollars went to suchprojects.

The American Society of CivilEngineers gives American infra-structure under Obama a D+ rat-ing.

Hillary and Bernie boast spend-ing tax dollars on “green” energywill create jobs and boost theeconomy.

President Obama has wastedbillions of dollars on such cronygovernment schemes, enrichingCEO’s and putting workers onthe streets with such alacrity thatthe Government AccountabilityOffice advised shutting down theDepartment of Energy’s Ad-vanced Technology VehicleManufacturing loan program.

That doesn’t even cover Solyn-dra ($529 million wasted),Abound Solar (at least $70 mil-lion wasted), or the dozens morethat have put you and yourneighbors in the hole for moremoney than Donald Trump couldever mooch from Carl Icahn.

Still, there’s obviously enoughpolitical capital in this dysfunc-tional message to attract signifi-cant numbers of Democraticvoters.

Hillary says she would like tocut the red tape that hinderssmall businesses. If she iselected with a majority of Re-publicans in the House and Sen-ate she might actually get thatdone.

Unless, of course, she isn’tbeing sincere. That’s a problemfor Hillary. Most people don’ttrust her because they know her.

Bernie believes reinstituting theGlass-Steagall Act will movebanks to make more low-interestloans to small businesses. Why?Bernie says, “Local banks in-creasingly began to invest inrisky Wall Street trading andspeculation and became less in-clined to make low-interest loansto small businesses.”

Notice he says nothing aboutmitigating inherent risks in smallbusiness loans.

Neither Hillary nor Bernie havesuggested lower taxes for smallbusinesses. Forget about encour-aging corporations hoarding $2trillion overseas to bring thatmoney home.

Bernie especially cannot. Hehas proposed spending about $18trillion over ten years on goodiesfor his voters, including free col-lege, free health care, and feder-ally-enforced paid family leave.

At the time of this writing, hehas only proposed $6.5 trillion innew taxes on the rich over tenyears to pay for this.

Look out, middle class!

Get enough sleep - or elseL

et’s face it: the only thing morepathetic than hosting a pityparty is having to shoo the visi-

tors away from your pity party by 7p.m.Because of various commitments and

interests, I am fortunate if I am in bedsix hours a night. (Let’s not even talkabout QUALITY of sleep.) I am madeto feel like a masochistic idiot everytime I see one of those ubiquitous“Stop skating by on minimal sleep” ar-ticles.To add insult to injury, AOL.com re-

ports that one of the reasons millenni-als are so successful is that theyaverage eight hours and 53 minutes ofsleep (as opposed to slightly more thanseven hours for most older adults). Myinner “grumpy old man” jealouslysnorts that they achieve this luxury bynot having to shop for bathroom airfresheners, if you know what I mean.I run a long-term sleep deficit even

while living a relatively charmed life.I’m only 10 minutes away from workand have a household with no majormedical problems. I shudder to thinkabout the discretionary hours remain-ing for people who spend two hours aday commuting and/or deal with spe-cial needs family members.The Huffington Post warned that peo-

ple getting only six hours of sleep anight can be plagued by angry out-bursts, overeating, overspending, a

haggard appearance and a generallyblah feeling.Other sources citea sleep deficit ascontributing topoor academicperformance,memory lapses,Type 2 diabetes,the sudden full-blown emergenceof the twin youabsorbed while inthe womb, etc.A study pub-

lished in Proceed-ings of the National Academy ofSciences claims that sleep deprivationmakes people 4.5 times more likely tosign a false confession. That’s a bunchof hooey, and I told the same thing toJimmy Hoffa as I threw the first shov-elful of dirt into his face.In an infamous 1986 “Saturday Night

Live” skit, William Shatner popular-ized the “Get a life!” slogan. But sleepresearchers would just as soon youtook only the daintiest nibble of whatlife has to offer. Don’t have a hobby,perform household chores, write toyour congressman, take a night class,go to the gym, attend a PTO meeting,rise above the poverty level with a sec-ond job, write the Great AmericanNovel, learn a second language, attendworship services, visit a nursing home,

care for aging parents or do anythingthat detracts from the pattern “Work,sleep, lather, rinse, repeat...”If you really want to stay guilt free,

that bed had better be 99 percent dedi-cated to slumbering. Instead of“Honey, put on your Naughty Librar-ian outfit,” you’d better specify,“Honey, put on your Naughty Librar-ian With A Timer outfit.”Those who editorialize about sleep

deficits condescendingly tell us tokeep a stiff upper lip and make a fewsimple tweaks and sacrifices — pre-sumably, chitchatting less with ourbutler, chef, maid, personal shopperand nanny.I’d love to grab 40 winks after up-

loading this column; but I have prom-ises to keep, and miles to go before Isleep.I understand that there’s a poem to

that effect — but the Sleep Policewould undoubtedly give me a guilt tripif I stayed up five minutes later to readit.“You’re not sleeping enough! I still

don’t have grandchildren photos forthe mantel! And your newborn twinbrother just passed the bar exam!”*Sigh*

Letters to the EditorNo vote for you, student

Students deserve a voice in the govern-ing process of higher education in Ten-nessee, and have held dear to that voicesince students were first added to ourstate’s governing boards decades ago bythe efforts of the Tennessee Intercolle-giate State Legislature. Currently, thereare students who are voting members ofboth system boards: Tennessee Board ofRegents, and the University of TennesseeBoard of Trustees. The state coordinatingagency for both higher education sys-tems, the Tennessee Higher EducationCommission, also has two student mem-bers, one voting, one non-voting. The FOCUS Act legislation that is set

to restructure the Tennessee Board ofRegents system calls for six independentgoverning boards to be established foreach of the current TBR Universities, in-cluding TTU. These governing boardswill have nine members, including atleast three alumni, and one faculty mem-ber who will also be voting. However,the tenth, and arguably the most impor-tant member, the student, is currentlyslated as a non-voting member. As a student leader I find this portion

of the legislation to be completely re-gressive. Students have been votingmembers of our governing boards forsome time now, and to remove their voteat this point seems to demean the pastservice of our student members. Anothercontradiction of the board compositionis that the faculty member is entitled toa vote, which seems to suggest studentsare second class citizens. The reasoningbehind creating non-voting members ona local governing board remains elusive,as students are already voting memberson boards that dictate policy for the en-tire state. Why, at a time in Tennesseewhen higher education has gained somuch positive momentum would weshun our students voice from the deci-

sion making process? It is my hope as a representative of all

Tennessee students, that this legislationwill be amended and that the studentmembers on the new FOCUS Act boardswill be granted the rights of voting mem-bers.

Power of Putnam

Recently, I happened to meet the goodfolks at the organization called Power ofPutnam and they were organized to dealwith storms that are far greater than thephysical problems caused by theweather. They deal with the greater prob-lems that are created by the fact that fartoo many of our citizens are hooked ondrug usage. Those storms are with usdaily, sometimes hourly, and have noth-ing to do with the weatherI admire these folks, dedicated to the

proposition that education can be used tostem the tide of drugs that are as deadlyhere on our own streets as they are in fartoo many other places where it is theprevalent problems we hear about in sto-ries of lives lost in drug wars. One lifewasted because of drug usage ought tobe an alarm that threatens all of us. It isnot just created in areas where poverty isprevalent; it exists in far too many homesthat we describe as belonging to the richand privileged among us.We need to realize it will not cease by

merely jailing the drug dealers. Ourgreater problem starts when we need a“fix” whether it is for a mere headacheor other bodily aches and pains. Whenour adults fall prey to problems that ap-pear to be resolved by a pill, we tend toteach our children that their “ailments”can be eased as easily and they do not

need to go to the drug store. Their drugdealer could be living next door andusing their own youngsters as mere ped-lars of the poisons that kill from within.We all need to work to eliminate the il-

legal drug usage and return to a daywhen snowfall was a blessing in disguiseand provides stories of fun and laughter,rather than having to deal with a son ordaughter lost to the greed of others.

Term limits

The senate and the house of represen-tatives of the Tennessee Assembly havepassed a resolution to convene a consti-tutional convention of all the states. Oneof the purposes of this convention wouldbe to place an amendment in the consti-tution to limit the terms of senators andmembers of house of representatives ofthe United States. This amendment is re-quired to stop congressmen from beingin office so long that they become impe-rial and out of touch with the needs anddesires of the American people. Theycan do this because of the incumbentprotection system that ensures that 95percent of incumbents are reelected. Notto mention the corruption that is gener-ated by power held for long periods oftime. The president is restricted by the con-

stitution to two terms for the above rea-sons.The governor of Tennessee is also re-

stricted to two terms in office.Would it not be wonderful if the Ten-

nessee legislators could recognize thatwhat is good for the goose is good for thegander?They should enact an amendment to the

Tennessee Constitution that would limittheir terms in office!

TTU — Tennessee Tech Uni-versity nursing and pre-profes-sional students are workingtogether to bring a medical clinicto citizens of the Upper Cumber-land, but they need help.The Community Host Group, a

group of TTU students, doctors,and dedicated community mem-bers, is attempting to bring thefirst Remote Area Medical clinicto Cookeville.“We started the planning stages

of this clinic last year,” saidWade Seagrave, group leaderand chemistry senior fromCookeville. “And it was wonder-ful to see so many TTU studentsexpress their passion for localhealthcare.”Based in Knoxville, the Re-

mote Area Medical group hasspent more than 30 years bring-ing free healthcare clinic eventsto isolated communities aroundthe world. Because of growinghealth concerns in Tennessee,the group has stepped up effortscloser to home. For this event,RAM will provide the suppliesand direction; the student group

will organize the location andvolunteers.

The clinic will take place April2-3 in Cookeville High School.Lines begin forming at midnight,though the clinic will open at 6a.m. each morning. Volunteerhealthcare professionals willserve patients with a specificdental, vision or medical need.Insurance is not required.

RAM representatives traveledfrom Knoxville early this year toinspect the school. During awalkthrough of the schoolgrounds, Seagrave said they of-fered a good framework for howto turn the gymnasiums andbreezeways into a temporarymedical clinic.

Seagrave said the goal for theweekend clinic is to serve 1,000under- and un-insured patients.To accomplish this, they needsignificant support from areavolunteers.

“The hardest two groups to findare dentists and optometrists,”said Seagrave. “But we’re opento all volunteers from all health-care fields – from nurses to po-

diatrists.”Despite the importance of med-

ical training, it is not a require-ment for volunteers. Seagravesaid more than half of the clinicstaff members are general volun-teers who help with patient inter-action and paperwork.Several TTU nursing and pre-

professional students have al-ready signed up, and Seagravesays he hopes that his healthcarepeers will walk away with a bet-ter understanding of the patientexperience.“One of the difficult parts of

the healthcare process to teach ishow to interact with patients.You can practice as much as youwant on a mannequin, but atsome point you need to go intothe field and help someone.”Online registration for volun-

teers is now open at ramusa.org.For more information abouthelping the clinic, contact thecommunity host group at [email protected] or make atax-deductible donation athttp://cookevilleregionalchar-ity.org/ram.

By WILL WEISSERTAssociated Press

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) —Ted Cruz has for months re-peated that when it comes toimmigration, he has never sup-ported granting “amnesty” or“legalization” to people in theUnited States illegally.

He’s half right.Cruz once advised a White

House working group thatcrafted President George W.Bush’s ultimately unsuccessful2004 immigration overhaul,which sought to offer tempo-rary work visas to millions ofpeople in the country illegally.He also was Texas state chair-man of a conservative Hispanicorganization that advocated forBush’s proposal.

And, in the Senate in 2013,Cruz sought to amend a sweep-ing immigration overhaul car-ried by one of his nowpresidential rivals, MarcoRubio. Cruz wanted to removethe possibility of obtaining U.S.citizenship, but didn’t touchlanguage allowing for a path-way to legal immigration statusfor those here illegally.

Cruz’s past public statementsseemingly supporting immigra-tion reform with his amend-ments came back to haunt himduring a Republican debate lastmonth in Iowa — and the issuecould prove thorny yet againfor him during Saturday night’sdebate in Greenville, just aweek before the South Carolinaprimary.

The change of heart on immi-gration reflects Cruz’s small butimportant shift to the right onone of the presidential race’shottest-button issues, as a can-didate who is already a teaparty darling looks to furthersolidify his conservative cre-dentials.

Cruz also has abandoned hispast support for encouraginglegal immigration, now oppos-ing legal newcomers as long asnational unemployment re-

mains high. And he’s called fora moratorium on visas forhighly skilled foreigners —when three years ago he sup-ported a five-fold annual in-crease in such visas.The senator has been less

equivocal about amnesty, or of-fering blanket U.S. citizenshipto millions of people here ille-gally. In a questionnaire com-pleted while a 2012 Senatecandidate in Texas for Number-sUSA, which advocates lowerimmigration levels, Cruz saidhe opposed amnesty — and hestill does.He also answered that he sup-

ports ending birthright citizen-ship. Anyone born in the U.S. isan American citizen.Cruz has retained that position

during his presidential cam-paign, though he now calls forchallenging the practice’s con-stitutionality in court. As re-cently as 2011, Cruz cast doubton doing that very thing, sayinglegal arguments againstbirthright citizenship’s constitu-tionality were “not very good.”Robert De Posada, founder of

the conservative advocacy or-ganization the Latino Coalition,said Cruz advised a special

Bush administration workinggroup that helped draw up plansfor legalizing millions of peo-ple in the country illegally via aguest worker program. Bushannounced the plan in January2004, but it never passed Con-gress.Cruz also served as Texas

chairman, and was on the boardof directors, of the Hispanic Al-liance for Progress Institute, anow-defunct group that cham-pioned Bush’s proposal — butopposed amnesty.“He was the smartest guy in

the room and he contributedimmensely to helping to craftthe policy language around im-migration reform,” said LeslieSanchez, co-chairwoman of thealliance.

The group had offices inWashington and Austin, whereCruz served as Texas solicitorgeneral from 2003 until 2008.Cruz co-chaired a 2005 allianceevent a few blocks from theTexas Capitol.“It was an interesting time

when you could say things like,‘Let’s expand immigration andtrade at the border,’” saidBuddy Garcia, then Texas’ as-sistant secretary of state, whospoke on a panel at the event.“Now, there’s a little more of asinister tone.”Cruz presidential campaign

spokeswoman Catherine Fra-zier noted that, while runningfor the Senate, Cruz also facedquestions about the alliance.“This is old news on which

Cruz’s 2012 Senate opponentattacked him and failed,” Fra-zier said.Cruz also was a domestic pol-

icy adviser for Bush’s 2000presidential campaign andhelped draft its immigrationpolicy — which laid thegroundwork for what becamethe 2004 proposal.Charles Foster, a Houston im-

migration attorney who workedclosely with Cruz to shape theBush campaign’s immigrationplan, said Cruz may have onlybeen advocating Bush’s beliefsback then. But he said Cruz has“certainly taken more restric-tive positions” since.Cruz’s other shifts came more

recently.In 2013, he introduced an

amendment to Rubio’s immi-gration bill stripping any

chance for citizenship but leav-ing intact possible legal statusfor people in the country ille-gally. Cruz also drafted amend-ments doubling legalimmigration limits and increas-ing from 65,000 to 325,000 thenumber of annual temporaryvisas for highly skilled foreignworkers.His presidential campaign’s

immigration plan is far harsher,however, saying the U.S.should suspend legal immigra-tion “so long as workforce par-ticipation rates remain belowhistorical averages.” Cruz alsoproposed a six-month freeze onhigh-skilled visas to investigatepossible abuses.Cruz now says his amend-

ments were meant to sink theultimately unsuccessful immi-gration bill, which he votedagainst. But during the Jan. 28presidential debate, Fox Newsplayed past clips of Cruz re-peatedly saying he wanted im-migration reform to pass andthat he hoped his amendmentswould help.“Was that all an act?” moder-

ator Megyn Kelly asked.Cruz responded that his pro-

posed changes didn’t mean hesupported the full bill. Frazieradded that Cruz’s Senate recordproves he’s “a tireless opponentof amnesty.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —Nuns who faced possible evic-tion from San Francisco’s grittyTenderloin district because of arent increase have won a re-prieve.Lawyers for the nuns and

landlord, with help from moti-vational speaker Tony Robbins,reached a deal Friday allowingthe nuns to stay for a year attheir current rent, The SanFrancisco Chronicle reported.The deal gives the sisters time

to find a new home for theirsoup kitchen. Robbins — whowas poor as a child and home-less as a teenager and likes totell the story of how profoundlyit touched him when a strangeronce gave his hungry family abasket of food — promised todonate $50,000 to help.The Fraternite Notre Dame

has run the kitchen for eightyears. But in January the nunswere told their rent would jumpabout 50 percent to $5,500 amonth. The nuns said theycouldn’t afford it and refused topay.Michael Heath, a lawyer for

landlord Nick Patel, said he’sglad there’s a tentative resolu-tion.Since 2008, the modest

kitchen has sat on a derelictstreet in the Tenderloin neigh-borhood, long associated withhomelessness and drug use.But it’s also within walkingdistance of a revitalizing mid-dle Market Street area, led bythe relocation of Twitter in2012.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney,the 2012 Republican presidential candi-date, offered this year’s hopefuls adviceabout a hard-learned lesson: Release yourtax returns before the primaries and avoidtough scrutiny later. But the top three Re-publicans leading in national polls don’tappear to be listening.

Even as other candidates — most no-tably Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush —have already disclosed years’ worth ofprivate tax returns to dispel questionsabout their personal finances, DonaldTrump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio havefailed to do the same despite promises todo so, sometimes after events that havenow come and gone. None of the cam-paigns will say why they’ve delayed orwhen the candidates will release their re-turns.

The best explanation: It’s postponing anunpleasant moment, said JosephThorndike, a contributing editor for TaxNotes who maintains the organization’stax history project.

“If you say you’re going to do it, you’vegot to do it,” Thorndike said. “I don’t likethe disingenuousness of ‘we’re workingon it.’” He said the candidates’ tax returnsfor 2014 were long ago filed with thegovernment.

The three Republican candidates haveunequivocally said they will disclose theirreturns. Trump, who broke a promise in2012 to disclose his returns if Obama pro-duced his long-form birth certificate, saidin January that he was preparing to re-lease his “big returns.” The Cruz cam-paign told the Dallas Morning News inApril that Cruz would release his returnssoon after they were filed, but he still has-n’t. Shortly before Rubio filed his 2014taxes last year, he told the Tampa Tribunethat he would make them public.

The Republican candidates have com-pany on the Democratic side: BernieSanders released only excerpts from his2014 tax returns. The documents — alongwith separate financial reports filed with

the Federal Election Commission—showed little in the way of assets and anincome mostly limited to his $174,000Senate salary and a $5,000 annual pen-sion from being mayor of Burlington,Vermont, from 1981 to 1989.The most interesting of the returns will

likely be Trump’s, said Thorndike. Trumpposted a photograph of himself on Twitterin October next to a stack of documentsseveral feet tall.“If Donald Trump’s tax returns really are

that big as the stack he had next to him,there’s a lot going on in there,” Thorndikesaid. Interpreting Trump’s wealth likelywon’t be easy without access to the taxreturns filed by his corporate entities,which Trump is unlikely to provide. ButTrump’s personal returns should shedlight on how lucrative his business empiretruly is.

It’s impossible to definitively say whattrouble the returns could cause each can-didate, but a key interest for Trump andCruz will be how much they gave to char-ity.When Trump declared his candidacy last

June, his campaign said he had given$100 million to charity over the previousfive years. A review of the Donald J.Trump Foundation’s finances by the AP,however, found that none of the moneythe foundation had given away over thatperiod came from Trump. Trump couldhave channeled his philanthropy throughsome other means than the foundation,though the campaign declined to provideany information to the AP.Charitable deductions could be reveal-

ing, too. Last January, Trump said he waspermanently dedicating the driving rangeof his Rancho Palos Verdes, California,

golf course to open space. Trump saidthat gift was worth $25 million. The AP’sreview, however, found that Trump hadnever indicated an intention to build onthe land and couldn’t have because ofzoning laws.Cruz’s charitable donations could be as

interesting. The Texas senator releasedfive years of tax returns in January of2012, revealing that the conservativeChristian candidate and his wife had do-nated less than 1 percent of their $5 mil-lion income to charity. Cruz’s stinginesswas especially notable since he says thatprivate charity — not government pro-grams — is the best source of aid to thepoor. The San Antonio Express News re-ported that Cruz and his wife had givenno money to their church.“All of us are on a faith journey, and I

will readily admit that I have not been asfaithful in this aspect of my walk as Ishould have been,” Cruz told the Chris-tian Broadcasting Network in January,noting that the previous disclosures didn’tcover more recent contributions.Tax returns also will offer a better un-

derstanding of income from the candi-dates’ spouses. Cruz’s wife, Heidi, was aformer managing director at GoldmanSachs. Rubio’s wife, Janet, worked at anevents company that performed work forthe family foundation of a major Rubiodonor.Then-Sen. Barack Obama was criticized

for miserly charitable contributions in2008, and Clinton’s tax returns drew at-tention to her and Bill Clinton’s accumu-lation of wealth from speaking fees.Romney’s tax returns raised unpleasantquestions about preferential tax policiesfor the rich and his use of offshore invest-ment vehicles — as well as a protracteddebate over whether he should releasemore information.There is no legal requirement to share

tax returns with the public, but everymajor party nominee since 1976 has doneso — often well-before winning the nom-ination.“Four years ago, we were freaking out

at Romney about his tax returns,”Thorndike said.

In Brief By KEN THOMASAssociated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Hillary Clin-ton’s presidential campaign enlisted thesupport of black Democrats on Friday toundermine Bernie Sanders’ push to claima piece of President Barack Obama’slegacy, arguing she is the rightful heir tothe nation’s first black president.

Clinton sought solidarity with Obamaat every turn during Thursday’s debate inMilwaukee, referring to herself as a“staunch supporter” of his health carelaw and praising him as a role model onrace relations. Clinton ended the debateby criticizing Sanders for saying in an in-terview with MSNBC that Obama hadfailed the “presidential leadership test.”

By Friday, as Clinton traveled betweenSouth Carolina and Minnesota, herAfrican-American allies in Congressseized upon comments the Vermont sen-ator made at the debate insinuating thatrace relations would “absolutely” be bet-ter under a future Sanders administra-tion.

One questioned the allegiances ofSanders, who is the longest serving inde-pendent in congressional history but run-ning for president as a Democrat.

“He was never a Democrat. He is onlya Democrat for convenience,” AtlantaMayor Kasim Reed said in an interviewwith The Associated Press. He accusedSanders of “dismissive and disrespectfulbehavior toward the president.”

Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., the chair-man of the Congressional Black Cau-cus’s political action committee, said ina statement that Sanders wanted to “undoPresident Obama’s accomplishments”and also pointed to the MSNBC inter-view, saying Sanders’ “disparaging com-ments towards the president aremisplaced, misguided and do not givecredit where credit is due.”

Sanders’ campaign said the accusationsshowed a Clinton campaign still reelingfrom a sweeping loss earlier this week inNew Hampshire and tightening races inNevada and South Carolina. Sanders

spokesman Michael Briggs said Clin-ton’s campaign was “getting very nerv-ous and is becoming increasinglynegative and desperate. The simple truthis that there are very few in Congresswho have a stronger civil rights recordthan Senator Sanders.”Sanders, addressing about 4,000 ac-

tivists at the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s annualHumphrey-Mondale Dinner in St. Paul,the nation should be “proud of the ac-complishments of the Obama and Bidenadministration.”“But we have got to be honest and to

acknowledge we still have a very, verylong way to go to create the nation Iknow all of us believe we can create,” hesaid.The exchange underscored the degree

to which Obama’s legacy has becometug-of-war between Clinton and Sandersas the Democratic race winds into Ne-vada and South Carolina, where minority

voters play a pivotal role.The Democratic rivals will be compet-

ing for the support of black voters whofactor in several Super Tuesday contestson March 1, including Alabama, Geor-gia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.Clinton invoked Obama or his admin-

istration 21 times during Thursday’s de-bate and used the president, who remainspopular with rank-and-file Democrats, asa shield to push back against Sanders’critiques.Sanders portrayed himself as an Obama

ally in the Senate and the successor tothe Obama movement for change. Heregularly notes his ability to generate en-thusiasm among young people, one ofObama’s main draws in 2008.At one point during the debate, Sanders

told Clinton sharply: “One of us ranagainst Barack Obama. I was not thatcandidate.”His campaign dismissed Clinton’s con-

tention that Sanders had presented him-

self as potentially better than Obama onrace relations.“The Clinton campaign takes every sin-

gle thing that comes out of his mouth,twists it and distorts it and throws itback,” said top Sanders strategist TadDevine after the debate.Both candidates sought to appeal to

black voters Friday. Clinton campaignedin Denmark, South Carolina, where sheoutlined a $125 billion economic revital-ization proposal aimed at creating jobs,improving infrastructure and buildinghousing in “communities of poverty andsystemic racism.”Sanders, appearing earlier in Min-

neapolis at a forum on race and eco-nomic opportunity, was confronted byattendees who demanded specifics abouthis views on reparations to African-American descendants of slavery.“I know you’re scared to say black, I

know you’re scared to say reparations,”one woman said. Sanders said the prob-lem wasn’t confined to race but invest-ments in poor communities were “longoverdue.”One man yelled: “Say black!” Sanders

responded: “I’ve said black 50 times.That’s the 51st.”Ta-Nehisi Coates, an influential writer

on racial issues, drew attention to theissue recently in an Atlantic Magazineessay entitled “The Case for Repara-tions.” Coates has said he will vote forSanders.Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., one of

Sanders’ top black surrogates, suggestedthe senator was the right successor toObama, asking the audience if they hadvoted for Obama eight years ago “be-cause what he told you was not possible?Or did you vote for him because he said,‘Yes we can’ and projected a bold vi-sion?”“That’s what’s happening right now.

This is the right campaign if you believethis country can be better than it was,”Ellison said. “It’s not saying thatObama’s not a great president. I supportPresident Obama, but I’m telling youthis: We can do better.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) —Utah Attorney General SeanReyes said Friday he plans totake legal action against theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency following reportsthat it didn’t alert the state toriver contamination after amassive mine waste spill.Reyes said it’s critical the

agency be held responsiblefor damage from the spill thatcontaminated rivers in threeWestern states last year andhe will file a notice of claim,the first step toward a law-suit. He didn’t set a deadlinefor the action.The announcement comes

after Utah regulators said theEPA didn’t alert them towater quality tests showingelevated levels of metals likelead and arsenic in San JuanRiver months after the Au-gust spill.The data was posted online

in October, but wasn’t sent toUtah, so regulators weren’taware until they found itmonths later.While there isn’t a current

BURNS, Ore. (AP) — FBI offi-cials said Friday they haven’tfound any rigged explosives orbooby traps at the nationalwildlife refuge in Oregon that hadbeen seized by an armed group.

Authorities allowed a group ofreporters to get closer to the Mal-heur National Wildlife Refuge,where the last four occupiers sur-rendered Thursday. The tourstopped short of the refuge itself.

The armed protesters had block-aded the road near the refugeusing a government-owned heavyfront-end loader and two pickuptrucks. A group of tents andpickup trucks was clustered on asmall rise far beyond the road bar-rier. Larry Karl, the assistant spe-cial agent in charge of thePortland FBI, said the tents madeup the “shantytown” where thelast four holdouts at the refuge

spent most of their time.Greg Bretzing, the special agent

in charge of the Portland FBI, saidinvestigators have begun theirsweep of the property. Karl saidthat process is still ongoing, how-ever, but they hoped to finish the

safety sweep of the buildings andbegin processing evidence some-time Friday afternoon.There was flammable liquid and

hazardous materials stored at thesite before the armed takeover,Karl said, and the FBI had infor-

mation that “certain materials”might have been brought to therefuge by the protesters.“So until we are able to go

through the refuge and see whatconditions those items are in, thatthey’re properly secured andstored, or what has been broughton that we don’t know about,” theevidence collection will have towait, Karl said.He said the FBI would work

closely with the Burns-PaiuteTribe, archaeological experts, fed-eral land managers and otherswhile they process the crimesceneThe holdouts who surrendered

Friday were the last remnants of alarger group that seized the prop-erty on Jan. 2, demanding the U.S.turn over public lands to localsand exposing simmering angerover the government’s control ofvast expanses of Western range.David Fry, 27, of Blanchester,

Ohio; Jeff Banta, 46, of Elko, Ne-vada; and married couple Sean

Anderson, 48, and Sandy Ander-son, 47, of Riggins, Idaho; werearraigned Friday in Portland, Ore-gon, along with two of the other21 people who have been in-dicted.They pleaded not guilty and U.S.

District Court Judge John Acostascheduled a 21-day trial to startApril 19. Such dates are oftenpushed back by months.Fry, the last activist to surrender,

appeared in an anti-suicidesmock. He waved to Nevada as-semblywoman Michele Fiore,who visited Burns to help brokerthe end of the standoff and prom-ised the holdouts she would be inthe courtroom.Outside the downtown Portland

courthouse, Fiore read a statementfrom jailed standoff leaderAmmon Bundy and defended theoccupiers, much to the delight ofa small group of protesters. Shetook issue with a reporter whoasked if she advocated for morearmed occupations.

HONOLULU (AP) — HawaiiGov. David Ige declared a stateof emergency to fight mosquitoborne illnesses includingdengue fever and the Zika virus.

The state has been in the midstof a dengue fever outbreak onHawaii’s Big Island, wherethere were more than 250 con-

firmed cases.There have been no locally

transmitted cases of the Zikavirus in Hawaii, Ige said in anews conference Friday. Butthere’s concern that the islandscould be at risk because mos-quitoes that can carry denguefever also can carry the Zika

virus.“We are doing everything we

can to be prepared, to be proac-tive, to prevent vector borne dis-eases here in Hawaii,” Ige said.The emergency proclamation

could help the state acquiremore money to control out-breaks.

Hawaii is rushing to build upits mosquito control staff after aDecember report from the Cen-ters for Disease Control high-lighted deficiencies in the state’svector control department. Thestate slashed its mosquito con-trol and entomology staff duringthe economic downturn, from

56 employees in 2009 to 25 po-sitions in 2016. Health officialsare now searching for fundingto rebuild the staff, and the De-partment of Health plans to hire10 new staffers with money thegovernor released, said VirginiaPressler, director of department,on Friday.

Service dog imposters hurting those with real needsIn 2002, a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio ti-

tled Catch Me If You Can was released. It wasbased on the true story of Frank Abagnale whomanaged to scam a large number of people out ofmillions of dollars by impersonating trusted pro-fessionals — an airline pilot, a physician, and evena lawyer — all before he was 21 years old. He waseventually caught, but not before many people hadsuffered from his deception. Imposters have beenaround for a while, from police officers to IRSagents to non-human items like watches andpurses.Sadly, imposters exist in the service dog world as

well.While we would all like to take our dogs with us

wherever we go, the truth is, most dogs lack the ap-propriate behavior skills to behave well enough tobe welcomed. Unfortunately, some people don’tcare about the comfort, safety, and well-being ofothers. The federal government has penalties forpresenting a fake service dog. The state penaltiesin CA and FL are hefty . In Florida, it can result ina $500 fine and 60 days in jail. While it may seemlike a harmless crime, there can be devastating ef-fects for people who depend on service dogs tohelp navigate their world. The least benign of the problems is the impression

fake service dogs may leave on people and busi-nesses when they are poorly behaved. Incidents ofurinating and defecating in establishments, jump-ing on people, barking or growling make it ex-tremely difficult for the real service dog teams

when they arrive later. A well-trained service dog will basi-cally “become invisible” oncein an establishment. A much more serious prob-

lem is the growing number ofincidents of service dogs beingattacked by non-service dogsas well as by dogs posing asservice dogs. Sadly, manyservice dogs must be retiredafter being attacked by anotherdog. This results in a disabledperson doing without a neces-sary accommodation for a very

long time. Not only are these fake service dogsdangerous to other dogs, they present a danger topeople. In fact, according to the site Dog Bite Law(http://dogbitelaw.com/ legal-right-to-use-service-animals/fake-service-dogs ):” Six pit bulls, twoRottweilers and a German shepherd, all of whichwere purportedly service dogs, have disfigured atleast six people and killed three since 2011. Therewere no previous disfiguring or fatal attacks byservice dogs on record.” You may recall the storyof a “service dog” attack on a child in South Africa:http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/02/south-africas-dog-whisperers-dog-attacks-another-child/.

Frightening, and becoming more likely here.Because the wait for a service dog can be ex-

tremely long, a new trend is emerging in whichpeople are training their own service dogs. This, to

me, is like a parent deciding to train his child to be-come an electrical engineer. While one or two par-ents may have the prerequisite skills andknowledge to do this, chances are the large major-ity do not and there will be an accident in the nearfuture. Someone will get hurt. I have found the“train your own service dog” organizations to pres-ent several problems.Let’s start with the selection of dog. Service dogs

generally have excellent temperaments and lowprey drive. Seeking these traits, organizations keepa very select group of dogs for breeding and asmany as 50% of their offspring wash out. Whilethere are no specific breeds which are perfect forservice dog work, care must be taken to select adog appropriate for the tasks that he will perform.The dogs must be calm and have low distractabil-ity.Training. Here is one place that positive training

is mandatory. Placing a choke or prong on the dog,causing pain and fear, is a surefire way to create areactive dog. Antiquated methods of yanking upon the choke while pushing down on the hips willnot produce a dog who reliably performs a “sit”.Service dogs MUST be reliable. Running a reac-tive dog back and forth past another while yelling“leave it” may suppress the unwanted behavior, butwill not cure it. For proper training to take place,it will take 18 – 24 months to get a reliable, well-trained dog. Someone who says they can train yourdog to be a service dog in 30 days is not someoneyou should trust. Check his credentials.

Placing a vest on a dog will not make him or hera service dog. An internet search shows there aremany sites which will sell you a service dog vestand provide registration and/or certification foryour pet dog. For as little as $50, your littlePhideaux can become a registered service dog andhave a vest that will “reduce hassles.” Problem is,registration, certification, vests are not required.It’s just a scam and does not make your dog a serv-ice dog.The ADA laws are pretty specific and designed to

protect those who truly need a service dog. If yousee a vested dog misbehaving — growling, jump-ing, sitting on a chair at a restaurant, defecating inan inappropriate place — chances are this is not atrue service dog. Be compassionate to true servicedogs, but be aware that you do not have to toleratea dog who is disruptive or aggressive. Check out http://servicedogcentral.org/content/

Explorer post learning about shelterBy LINDA WESTINFRIENDS OF THE ANIMALS

In 1956, something great happened for catsand kittens. More and more of them were in-vited to live inside their owner’s homes ver-sus being kept out in the great outdoors. Canyou guess what happened? It was the inven-tion and popularity of kitty litter that changedthe lives of many, many cats and kittens. That’s just one of the many, many interest-

ing facts and figures being shared with awonderful group of young people through aprogram called Explorers. With the support and guidance of Explorer

Post Leaders, young people within the pro-

gram are encouraged to participate in variousprograms and activities that meet specific re-quirements and offer fun and adventure forall. Explorer groups are called “posts” andusually have a focus on a particular careerfield. The current local Explorer Post is in-terested in careers that range from WildlifeBiology to Veterinary Medicine.

Their eight-week program on Saturdaymornings includes the history of the animalshelter, the history and anatomy of cats anddogs, kennel maintenance, high volume ani-mal care, check ups and microscope work, inaddition to education about spay and neuter-ing programs.

This program is open to all high school stu-

dents within Putnam County. “The shelter isvery excited to host this group of 15 youngpeople who have interest in animal care. Wehope this program will encourage young peo-ple along their career path, as well as, openthem up to new career ideas as the animalfield is so diverse and broad,” commentsshelter director, Darrell Webb. If you are interested in joining the next Ex-

plorer group with focus on animal care, stopby the Cookeville/Putnam County AnimalShelter to learn sign-up details. The new shel-ter is located at 2650 Gainesboro Grade, nextto Hyder-Burks Pavilion. Shelter hours areMonday – Saturday, from noon to 6 p.m.Great program, great learning and great fun!

Wolf attacks, kills dog on walk while owner watchesDULUTH, Minn. (AP) — A state conser-

vation officer says the wolf attack thatkilled a dog on a popular trail in Duluth isbecoming more common.A golden retriever mix named Leo was

attacked on the trail near Lake SuperiorTuesday.

The dog was on a walk with its ownerand was off the leash at the time of the at-tack.

Department of Natural Resources con-servation officer Keith Olson says thedeer population is not as plentiful in thatarea for wolves to feed on, so they are

more likely to wander into more urbansettings.Olson tells the Star Tribune wolves at-

tacking pets in the city are rare, but be-coming more common. He urges dog owners in Duluth to keep a

close eye on their pets.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark(AP) — Swedish police say atleast four people were killedwhen a car plunged more than 25meters (82 feet) from a highwaybridge into a canal in Sweden’scapital of Stockholm.

Police spokeswoman Eva Nils-son said Saturday that diverswere searching for a fifth person

after they found out there mighthave been five people in the car.Nilsson said four bodies, all men,have been recovered so far. Nonewere identified.The cause of the accident on the

E4 highway in Stockholm’sSodertalje district was not known.Swedish media said it’s believed

the car smashed into a road bar-

rier and then plunged into thewater. At the time of the pre-dawnaccident, the bridge over theSodertalje canal was closing, withwarning lamps flashing and twobarriers down.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — PopeFrancis kicked off his first trip toMexico on Saturday with a longpopemobile ride past cheeringcrowds on a day that will startwith tough love speeches to thecountry’s political and churchelite — and end with a silentprayer before the Virgin ofGuadalupe at the largest andmost important Marian shrine inthe world.

Cheers erupted as Francis’popemobile pulled out of theresidence where he was staying,and he abruptly stopped to greetelderly, sick and disabled peoplewho had gathered outside. Hehanded out rosaries to faithful inwheelchairs and embraced ayoung boy wearing a surgicalmask.

Tens of thousands more, bun-dled against the morning chill,lined his motorcade route to thecity’s colonial heart as history’sfirst Latin American popebasked in the welcome from thelargest Spanish-speakingCatholic country in the world.

As he flew toward MexicoCity, Francis said his “most inti-mate desire” is to pray before thedark-skinned Madonna. She isthe patron saint of Mexico and“empress of the Americas,” andmillions of pilgrims flock eachyear to pray before the cloak thatbears her image.

Francis arrived in Mexico’scapital to adoring crowds wav-ing yellow handkerchiefs. Mari-achis serenaded as his charteredplane pulled to a stop.

President Enrique Pena Nieto,suffering the lowest approvalratings of a Mexican leader in a

quarter century, and his wife metFrancis on a red carpet.Onlookers roared as the three

walked together, then the lightsdimmed and the crowd wavedlights as the official song com-posed for Francis’ visit played.Men in broad sombreros andwomen in flowing red skirtsdanced on the tarmac.Along the route to his resi-

dence, people chanted inrhyming Spanish: “You see him,you feel him, the pope is pres-ent!” and “Francis, friend, thewhole world loves you!”Tania Vasquez came with her

6-year-old son, Carlos, and otherrelatives. She held a pennantwith the colors of the Mexicanflag and images of Francis, adove and the Virgin ofGuadalupe.“He’s coming to talk tough to

us,” Vasquez said. “In Mexicothere are a lot of economic andsecurity problems, there is a lotof egoism, and he comes with amessage of peace and hope thatwe need.”At one point the motorcade

paused when a man ran towardthe popemobile, but he was de-tained by security officers beforereaching it and the convoymoved on.As the pope passed her, Mari-

ana Dieguez was moved to tearsand had difficulty speaking.“I feel like my heart could

jump from my chest. He comesto give us peace because we areliving a difficult moment,” shesaid, alluding to a month-oldgrandson who was born ill.On Saturday, Francis meets

with Mexican officials and for-eign ambassadors at the National

Palace. The speech, which is afixture of every papal trip, isusually the pope’s most politicalmessage, and Francis is expectedto touch on some of the graveproblems facing Mexico stem-ming from drug violence, migra-tion and poverty.The pope also will speak to

Mexico’s bishops at the Cathe-dral of the Assumption. He is ex-pected to urge them to be closeto their people and accompanythem through their hardships,amid criticism even from withinthe Mexican clergy that many inthe church here are often highlydeferential to the wealthy andpowerful.Francis wraps up his day with

a Mass at the Basilica of the Vir-gin of Guadalupe and a silentprayer before the icon.According to tradition, the Vir-

gin appeared before the Indianpeasant Juan Diego in 1531 atTepeyac, a hillside near MexicoCity where Aztecs worshipped amother-goddess, and her imagewas miraculously imprinted onhis cloak.The image helped priests incul-

cate Catholicism among indige-

nous Mexicans during Spanishcolonial rule, and the churchlater made her patron of all theAmericas. Juan Diego was can-onized as the hemisphere’s firstIndian saint in 2002 during thepapacy of John Paul II.The Mexico trip follows a brief

but historic meeting in Havanaon Friday, when Francis em-braced Russian Orthodox Patri-arch Kirill and with anexclamation of “finally,” took amomentous step toward closinga nearly 1,000-year schism inChristianity.The two religious leaders

signed a 30-point joint declara-tion of religious unity that com-mitted their churches toovercoming their differences.Francis tweeted that the meetingwas a “gift from God.”Francis and Kirill also called

for political leaders to act on thesingle most important issue ofshared concern between theCatholic and Orthodox churchestoday: the plight of Christians inIraq and Syria who are beingkilled and driven from theirhomes by the Islamic Stategroup.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) —A second collapse of a mineshaft on Saturday has forcedrescuers to suspend a searchfor three people who havebeen trapped underground formore than a week at a SouthAfrican mine.Rescue teams were trying to

reach mineworkers trapped in-side a container that wasburied beneath thousands oftons of debris after a mine col-lapse on Feb. 5. Two womenand one man — PrettyMabuza, Yvonne Mnisi andSolomon Nyarenda — wereworking inside a mobile officecontainer, distributing head-lamps and safety gear to min-ers, when an undergroundpillar caved in, creating a sink-hole that swallowed the con-tainer.There have been no signs of

life from inside the containersince Tuesday, said MikeBegg, manager of the Lilygold mine, owned by Aus-tralia-based Vantage Gold-fields. Before then, rescueworkers could hear tappingsounds.Rescue teams were evacuated

after the second collapse andwill only resume their searchonce conditions are safe, Beggtold the Associated Press.Teams of 40 people have beenworking on around the clock touncover the container, he said.The mine manager told jour-

nalists that the eight day searchhas begun to take its toll onrescue workers, some of whomhave begun to fall ill.“It’s slow progress,” said

Begg, his shirt soiled and di-sheveled, with smudges on hisface.

‘Little FreeLibrary’helping toshare loveof reading

Recently, while I wasworking around thehouse, I glanced out my

front window and noticed thatthe neighbors across the streetwere constructing something thatlooked like a very small houseon a post. I was very intrigued and

watched for quite some time.When they finished, it lookedlike a little red house with arather large door on the front. Ofcourse, I had to get a closer lookso I walked to the edge of myyard to investigate. On the frontof the little house, it said “LittleFree Library.” Inside were sev-

eral books ofall shapesand sizes andof varyingreading lev-els and inter-ests. Irecognizedthe little li-brary assomethingthat I hadseen andread about.

The LittleFree Library Project (littlefreeli-brary.org) began in 2009 as ason’s tribute to his mother, ateacher who loved to read. ToddBol of Hudson, Wisconsin, had avision of promoting literacy andthe love of reading by buildingthese free book exchanges. Healso hoped to build a sense ofcommunity as people came to-gether to share skills, creativity,and wisdom. The idea grewquickly, and today there aremore than 36,000 Little Free Li-braries worldwide. Wow, it isamazing what one person can ac-complish with a dream and lotsof motivation. Promoting reading is something

that everyone in a communitycan easily do, just like my neigh-bor who decided to build a LittleFree Library. I encourage you to look for

ways to promote reading in ourcommunity. For example, yourlocal schools have parent in-volvement activities and eventsthat you can participate in or vol-unteer to help with as well asprograms such as the Ready forKindergarten classes at many ofthe elementary schools. Thesefree classes teach parents how toprepare their children for kinder-garten starting at birth. Find outabout the many ways you can getinvolved in promoting readingand literacy in schools by visit-ing the website atwww.pcsstn.comReading is a gift. It opens up a

world of imagination, excitementand adventure that no screen cancompete with. I encourage youto be a part of your communityby finding ways to promote read-ing.

Something to sing about

Amy Davis | Herald-Citizen

Prescott South Middle School’s Benjamin Winscott was selected to sing in the Tennessee Middle School Honors Choir Festivalin Murfreesboro on Jan. 28. He was the only representative chosen from Putnam County.

By AMY DAVISHERALD-CITIZEN Staff

COOKEVILLE — It began with an auditionlast fall.

Prescott South Middle School eighth graderBenjamin Winscott and his fellow chorus stu-dents had recorded their vocals for a chance tosing among the best of the best as part of theMiddle Tennessee Vocal Association’s MiddleSchool Honors Choir.

As it turned out, Winscott was Putnam County’slone representative, having been selected to par-ticipate in the Jan. 28 festival held at First UnitedMethodist Church in Murfreesboro.

“It’s crazy — especially if you’re the only per-son from your county to make it!” Winscott said.“Not even my friends from other counties werethere, and they’re amazing singers.”

But Winscott, who sings tenor, said he madesome new friends and enjoyed the experience ofblending his voice with theirs for the special per-

formance.“We were just having fun singing a bunch of

songs that were enjoyable for the public,” hesaid. “It was in a gigantic church that had a gi-normous pipe organ.”During the festival, Winscott and the rest of the

young group sang five songs, including one fromtheir audition, the Latin piece “Cantate Domino.”“It was really awesome because I’d never been

in something like that before,” he said. “Hope-fully next year when I try out for the high schoolversion of it, I’ll make it again — and have somefriends to go with me!”While he prefers singing tenor, Winscott has a

wide vocal range, even going down to bass.He never joined his elementary school choir,

but by fifth grade he had discovered his passionand was ready to get serious.“I saw auditions for the school play, and I was

like, ‘I wanna try this out’ because my dad hasdone plays for years and years in Shakespeare inthe Park,” he said, referring to the annual per-

formances at Cookeville’s Dogwood Park. “I’vealways admired the plays they’ve done, but mu-sicals are really different. I loved singing before,but then I just fell in love with musicals.”He also plays trombone in the school band.“I’m the only kid who’s in band and chorus in

the eighth grade,” he noted. “I just enjoy singing.”PSMS choir director Ashley Francis said she’s

extremely proud of her student’s most recent ac-complishment and looks forward to things tocome.“The fact that he was chosen out of 400 other

tenors is a huge honor,” she said. “He repre-sented the school wonderfully and made us allproud.”She added that Winscott also has the lead in the

school musical “Oklahoma,” which will haveproductions the last two weekends in April. “With his talent, positive attitude and hard work

ethic, I know he has a bright future ahead ofhim.”

It was a finalistfor the Pulitzer Prize for fictionin 2012, the year the boardcouldn’t come to a consensusand thus failed to award theprize. The cover of “Swamplan-dia!” features a huge gator, jawsopen wide, rising out of themarsh grass. That was reasonenough for me to snatch thebook up when I saw it on the li-brary shelf.Set in the Ten Thousand Is-

the show is Hilola, wife to ChiefBigtree, and mother to threeteenagers — Kiwi, Osceola andAva. The climax of each per-formance at Swamplandia!comes when Hilola ascends atall ladder and, much to the de-light of the audience, plungesinto a pool filled with dozens ofgators. She’s ready, willing andable to wrestle and subdue themshould the need arise.Hilola’s life comes to a tragic

end in the book’s first chapter.SPOILER ALERT: Ovariancancer, not an alligator, killedher. Following her death, thefamily and Swamplandia! de-scend into chaos. Chief Bigtreereturns to the mainland, leavinghis motherless children to fendfor themselves. Kiwi takes a jobat a rival theme park calledWorld of Darkness. Osceolafalls in love with the ghost of ayoung man who met his un-timely death decades ago in theunforgiving swamp. Ava, deter-mined to reunite her family andsave what’s left of Swamplan-dia!, assures the show’s dwin-dling number of visitors that sheis Hilola’s understudy and thatthey’ll still get to witness world-class alligator wrestling.But the tourists soon quit com-

ing. Ava and Osceola beginspraying their dirty clothes withHilola’s perfume instead ofdoing laundry. All of their mealscome from the concessionstand. Then one day Osceolasets out in pursuit of her phan-tom lover and doesn’t comehome. Naturally, Ava goes insearch of her sister, aided by acreepy vagabond known asBirdman. Who turns out to beone of the most bizarre literarycharacters I’ve encountered in along, long time. Because I don’twant to spoil the story, I won’tsay more. I won’t tell if Avafinds Osceola. Or if ChiefBigtree and Kiwi return to theisland. Or if Swamplandia! sur-vives.But I will say that this novel is

one of the most unusual and un-forgettable I’ve read in a longtime. Not necessarily in a goodway. It’s a book so weird thatI’m hesitant to recommend it toreaders who favor mainstreamfiction. On the plus side,“Swamplandia!” did manage tostoke my lifelong fascinationwith alligators.A fascination I hoped would be

fed on a visit to the swamps ofsouth Florida. If you’re wonder-ing if I had gator encounterswhile I was there, stay tuned.

Ducks lead photographer to hobbyBy MeGan tRotteR

HERALD-CITIZEN Staff

COOKEVILLE — It’s the details thatmatter to Cookeville photographerHelga Skinner. The tiny patterns and de-signs that most people never stop to no-tice are what she chooses to focus hercamera on in the hopes of sharing themiracles in the minute details of theworld around her.

It all started with ducks.A pair came into her yard one day and

decided to stay for a while. After onegot killed by an owl, Skinner took theother to a local pond, where it bondedwith the other ducks, but always re-membered her when she came to visit.

“I became fascinated with his feath-ers,” Skinner said. “If you lookedclosely at them they were just beauti-ful.”

She started a project where she tooka cardinal andwoodpeckerfight overseeds.

Snow is magic: Here’s how to photograph itI

n Tennessee, the snowfalls we haveyearly can usually be counted onone hand. What better way to cap-

ture snow than with the camera?Preparing to go outside while it is

snowing requires several things, mostlyhow to keep your camera equipmentsafe from the wet and cold. For thecamera, some type of covering shouldbe considered. There are professionalcovers available, but a simple clearplastic bag will work, with a hole thesize of the lens on your camera, leavingthe back end open for you to place your

hands and makeadjustments, andfitting the cut holeover the front ofthe lens. Carrying the cam-

era on a straparound the neck,and leaving it in-side a coat orjacket or inside aninner pocket is an-other way of pro-tecting it frommoisture. You willstill need some-thing around thecamera to keep it

from getting wet when you remove it totake a shot. You do have to deal withthe extra plastic, even with the protec-tors made for cameras, and make surethe plastic is not over the end of thelens when you take the shot.

I once took a series of pictures leavingthe end of the lens within a clear plasticbag (no hole in the end to take the pic-ture through) and the images were allsoft, or muted. It worked for thatepisode, but would not for many. It’salso good to take a lens cloth andmaybe a clean soft rag to wipe the cam-era body and the end of the lens in casesnow or rain get on it. It’s best to wipeit off right away, in between shots. Ifyou have a lens on which a clear pro-

tective filter can be used, like a UV(ultra violet) filter, when the snow isfalling would be the time to use it. If the temperature is very cold, and

your camera has gotten cold, youshould let the camera warm up slowly

when returning to a warm area. Somepeople use a large plastic bag and trapsome of the cold air inside, place thecamera in the bag and sit it in a coolerpart of the house and leave it for 30minutes or longer. You can also wrap

the camera up inside your coat, to helpit cool down slowly, or place it in acooler part of the room, such as on thefloor near a door for a while. The rea-son for this is that camera lenses canfog up if they have the least bit ofmoisture inside them, and this couldcause the lens problems down the road.No problem is caused when taking awarm camera out into a cold environ-ment, but when you warm up a coldcamera, that’s when you need to becareful.Cameras are pre-set to read white as

11 percent gray. This tells me that whenI shoot a picture of snow, the snow partof the image will not be totally white.Sometimes this is ok and sometimesnot. Look at the first picture you take,and see if the white seems to be thecolor you want it or does it seem gray.There are camera adjustments you maybe able to make to change the gray tobe white. This has to do with the whitebalance setting of the camera. Somecameras have an exposure compensa-tion dial that can be changed to minusor plus, changing the color of white tobe more or less exposed. Your cameramanual will tell you if yours will dothis or not. If your camera has a snowsetting, use that.Camera batteries go dead quicker in

the cold than when warm. So, it wouldbe best to carry extra batteries in apants pocket or inner jacket pocket tokeep them warm in case you mustchange batteries in the cold. Snow is bright and reflective. On an

overcast day with snow on the ground,you will obtain much greater details inimages than on a sunny snow day. Thesnow on the ground acts as a giant re-flector back onto the object you aretaking a picture of. So, if you want toget details in your images, try to shooton an overcast day (example, a por-trait).

Accidentalated wordsBy WAYNE HOGAN

Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN

I’m a natural-born sucker forstatistics. Oh, I know whatthey say ... that liars lie, statis-

ticians do statistics. Or somethinglike that. But they can say what-ever they want. I like statistics. Al-ways have. Don’t know why. Justhave, that’s all. Anyway, I ranacross this really fascinating sta-tistic the other day. It said thatthere are 381 words in the Englishlanguage that exist simply becauseof somebody’s typographical erroror misreading somewhere alongthe line.What’s so fascinating about this

to me is not the statistic itself, butwhere it’s come from. Actually,considering its origins, I’m sur-prised the number’s not lots big-ger. So, no, the number per se isn’tall that exciting. But the thingsthat caused it, well, now, that’sdownright alarming. So here wehave a sizeable chunk of our veryown wonderful language, our veryown lingua franca, that’s comeabout and been put in our diction-aries to live forever because ... be-cause somebody goofed! Kindaalmost frightening when you thinkabout it, don’t you think? Thatsome of the very words I’m writ-ing right now, they’re accidents,totally unintended products ofsomebody’s thoughtless, carelessbehavior.Well, I don’t know about you,

but I like to think of my very ownEnglish language as a lighthousecarefully placed along the rocky

shoreline, past which I wish safelyto navigate my ship through thedark and stormy night, it beingfilled to the gunnels with pricelessgems of communication. Don’twant no accidental, unintendedbeams of light dotting the way, soto say.The thought’s occurred to me, of

course, that maybe not every-body’d be as alarmed as I aboutliving in a world where ourbeloved English language has in itas many as 381 words that’recompletely illegitimate, so tospeak. But be that as it may, Ican’t shake the sense I have that ifas many as 381 words have beencreated by somebody’s errors,then the statistic itself may be inerror, that there might actually beas many as, oh, a million error-born words floating around outthere, that the whole of the verylatest revised edition of the OxfordUnabridged English Dictionarymay have nothing but error-con-ceived words in it, that every wordyou or I utter in the course of anaverage day — the very ones I’mwriting right now and the veryones you’re reading now — maybe the result of somebody’s typo-graphical error or misreadingsomewhere along the line.As I say, I’m a natural-born sta-

tistics junkie, and find this particu-lar statistic about mis-wroughtwords particularly disturbing. TheFrench, they have a saying: J’aimele son du cor, le soir, au fond desbois. Which I think sums things up

pretty well.

Smithsonian givingvisitors a virtual lookinside Apollo 11

By JESSICA GRESKOAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Theyare bits of space graffiti hiddenfrom the public for decades: acrude calendar, scrawled lunar co-ordinates and markings warning ofa locker containing “smellywaste.”Apollo 11 astronauts left those

scribbles inside the spacecraft thattook them on their historic missionto the moon in 1969, but now thepublic will get to see them for thefirst time.National Air and Space Museum

officials presented a previewThursday of a virtual 3-D modelthat will allow the public a lookinside the car-sized Apollo 11command module. No longer willthe public have to try to peer in-side through one of the capsule’ssmall windows or hatch.The new model will allow any-

one to examine the craft’s controlsand see writing left by its three as-tronauts: Neil Armstrong, BuzzAldrin and Michael Collins.(Aldrin says he’s pretty sure thecalendar was Collins’ handiwork.)Some of the markings left by the

astronauts have to do with maneu-vers they had to make to reach themoon, information it was easier tohave written near the craft’s in-struments. Others writings are lesstechnical: “launch day urine bags”reads an inscription on one locker.On another: “smelly waste.”

“They just wanted to warn them-selves that this is probably alocker that they should probablyleave closed until after the missionwas over,” said Allan Needell, acurator of space history at theSmithsonian who oversees Apolloartifacts.

The Apollo 11 command mod-ule, called “Columbia,” has beenone of the star attractions at theNational Air and Space Museumsince its opening in 1976. Butclimbing inside has never been al-lowed. Even curators have beenreluctant to go inside and riskdamaging it.

The model expected to be avail-able online this summer will letthe public maneuver around thecraft themselves and even printtheir own 3-D model of it. Even-tually, a virtual reality experiencewill let visitors feel like they’resitting inside the capsule.

For Valentine’s Day: Love in the 1860sI

n honor of St. Valentine’sDay, here’s a brief note onromance, Upper Cumberland

style. This story is set in the1860s, before the railroad camein, before the roads were built,when almost every man in theregion was a farmer, and almostevery woman, a farmer’s wife.William Hyder first saw his

future wife Mary Jones at aPresbyterian revival in 1858.Two years later, he decided toget to know her better. He madehis way to Jackson County andstationed himself outside thechurch Mary was attending. Ap-parently Mary rememberedWilliam, too. She had anothersuitor, but when church servicesended it was William who es-corted her home. William livedin Putnam County and Mary inJackson County, so for threemonths they maintained a longdistance courtship by mail.Then William decided to takethe relationship to a new level.He rode down to JacksonCounty to check out Mary’sfamily. He wanted to see theirhouse and eat their cooking,and if both pleased him, hewould ask for Mary’s hand inmarriage. It took only one nightat the Jones’s to convince himthat they met his standards.The next day he found Mr. and

Mrs. Jones sitting in front of thefire. Mrs. Jones was smokingher pipe. For years after, Hyderremembered how the smokefrom that pipe rolled up to theceiling as he sat down and triedto figure out how to open theconversation. The silence con-tinued. Then suddenly Mr.Jones asked him how old hewas. Seizing the initiative,Hyder said that he was 23, andhe thought that was old enoughto get married. Mr. Jones said

that he reckoned so, if Hydercould find anyone he wanted.Hyder said he had found theone he wanted.

So far, so good. But then Mrs.Jones took the pipe out of hermouth and glared at him. Shesaid that she hoped that Hyderdid not plan to take away heronly daughter, because she did-n’t see how she could spareMary. When Hyder wrote aboutit all years later, he didn’t de-scribe the look on his face atthis point, nor does he indicate

that Mr. and Mrs. Jones had oneof those non-verbal conversa-tions common to long marriedcouples. So the historical recorddoesn’t explain why Mrs. Jonessuddenly capitulated. She saidthat she supposed she wouldhave to give Mary up to some-one. Mr. Jones sealed the deal:“If it is agreeable with you andour daughter I will not object.”William and Mary were mar-

ried that night by a justice ofthe peace, and returned to Put-nam County the next day. As he

said later, their courtship wasshort but to the purpose, andwith no foolishness about it. Many of William’s contempo-

raries would have been appalledby the lack of romance evidentin Mary and William’s briefcourtship. In the 1860s Ameri-can cultural style was emo-tional, even sentimental, asillustrated by the elaboratelyembellished, lacy, and floralValentine’s Day cards availablein the nation’s urban areas. It ispossible that William couldhave bought Mary Jones such avalentine, but not likely: theUpper Cumberland was a longway removed from the market-ing networks for such luxuries.Even if he had found one in acountry store, he might haveconsidered it just foolishness. Mary and William’s story does

have one romantic element.William first saw Mary whenhe was about 20 years old. Hedid not know her or her familywhen he decided to court her. Inthe small farming communitiesthat dotted the Upper Cumber-land, the chances of meetingand falling for a stranger werepretty slim. It’s quite likely thatmany young men and womengrew up with their future matesand grew into a relationshipthat was accepted, by them andtheir families, as inevitablesince their early childhood.The Hyders’ quick wedding

before a magistrate, however,was not at all out of the ordi-nary. Rural weddings were usu-ally simple and inexpensive.Prior to the 20th century it wascommon for country folk to saytheir vows before a magistrate,in the bride’s family home, withguests from the community inattendance. Weddings did nottake months of preparation, and

brides did not agonize overtheir wedding gowns. Althoughwhite wedding dresses had beenpopular since Queen Victoriapicked one for her wedding in1840, most American womencould not afford a special dressto get married in, and thosewho did rarely picked white, amost impractical color for adress you were going to wearagain and again. Country weddings in the

1800s often did include socialfestivities. (By marryingabruptly and leaving the nextday, the new Mr. and Mrs.Hyder probably missed out onthem.) The first would havebeen a meal put on by thebride’s family to feed the wed-ding guests. The newly marriedcouple would then depart forthe man’s home. John T. Oak-ley, who married his 15-year-old bride in the 1870s,described how he, his newwife, and four attendants, twomale and two female, rode onhorseback to his family’shouse. There, a crowd of rela-tives and friends waited to jointhem at the “infare” dinner,supplied by the Oakleys: corn-bread, biscuits, turnips, cab-bage, backbone, chicken anddumplings, coffee, milk and fordessert, pound cake, gingercake and sorghum molasses.After the infare meal, the cou-

ple often had one more socialhurdle to pass before beginningtheir married life: the chivaree.In 1889, almost 30 years afterWilliam and Mary got married,the wedding of a local coupleended with “a grand serenade”of bells, pans, boilers “andeverything that a crowd ofwell-wishing boys could thinkof to send them on their wayrejoicing.”

Sometimes things went awry.A courtship disapproved of byeither party’s family could re-sult in feuds settled with pis-tols. A couple might wed andthen wind up despising eachother and passing acrimonydown the generations. Some-times husbands left; sometimeswives ran away with travelingstrangers. Listen to Ap-palachian ballads and you’llknow how often hearts got bro-ken.Sometimes great national

events changed predicted paths.Married on the eve of the CivilWar, William Hyder chose theUnion and joined the federalarmy. After the war, fearing re-taliation from defeated Confed-erates, the Hyders migrated outof the Upper Cumberland andfinished their lives in Missouri.Robert Gwaltney, writing in

the Carthage newspaper in the1920s, described a more ordi-nary passage through life. In1892 he married “a littlewoman” who lived nearby. Hesaid that she liked to talk andhe did not mind listening. Inmiddle age, he surveyed hiscomfortable life and attributedit to having “a good partner inthe house.”

snow, tends to accent shadowsand you can expect to haveareas of brightness and darknesson a sunny snow day. A fun thing to play around

with is your camera’s built inflash. If you can set the flash toTTL setting, which is an ad-justable flash, try that setting. Ifyou have an adjustable flash, trystarting with a low setting to seehow that works. For a sunnyday, if you are taking a pictureof something that you want thedetails to be strong, and not somuch shadows, (close-up), try asmall amount of flash. Some-times that will work to decreasethe shadows without making thewhites too white. In scenes, thebest time to obtain good detailswould be when the sun is notshining brightly.The other thing to protect is

yourself. Wear sturdy shoes orboots, dress warm, includingwarm gloves and hat, and if thewind is blowing consider ascarf. I have found the firstthing to get cold are my fingers.I wear one pair of gloves (partlywool) inside a pair of mittensthat have the ends that will re-lease, and the thumb releases,revealing the gloves inside. Ikeep the mittens covering myfingers until time to take a pic-ture. Even then, in certainweather, the fingers start feelingthe cold after a while. Whentaking pictures, you are not usu-ally hiking where you build uplots of body heat. You can al-ways remove layers if you gethot, so it’s best to dress in lay-ers. It’s nice to have waterproofjacket, pants and boots, but not

necessary. Clothes will dry out!It is not necessary for a personto be uncomfortable taking pic-tures out in the snow. Don’t letthe snow keep you from takingpictures. Sometimes the bestshots are when the snow is onthe ground, or as it falls!

Have FUN taking snowy pic-tures, and good luck with them!

NBC, USA Network discuss televising annual Beverly Hills dog showBy BEN WALKER

AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The dogs aregoing Hollywood.A person familiar with the deal tells

The Associated Press that NBC andUSA Network are talking to the KennelClub of Beverly Hills about televising

its annual dog show. The person spokeThursday on condition of anonymity be-cause no contract has been signed.

NBC has scored big with its Thanks-giving Day broadcast of the NationalDog Show, drawing 26.5 million view-ers for its telecast last November and asubsequent re-airing.

The next Beverly Hills dog show is

scheduled for June, likely too soon for anational broadcast.More likely, NBC would look to pres-

ent the Southern California competitionin the first half of 2017 on one of itspartner networks, possibly tied to a fam-ily-friendly date and bringing in Holly-wood celebrity elements and the RodeoDrive crowd. USA Network is owned by

NBCUniversal.CNBC and USA Network will televise

America’s most prestigious dog showfrom the Westminster Kennel Club inNew York on Monday and Tuesday.The Westminster event is moving to

Fox Sports 1 next year. NBC is intent onadding another dog show to its lineup toreplace Westminster.

The Kennel Club of Beverly Hills heldits first show in 1965. Westminster, theNational in Philadelphia and theAKC/Eukanuba show in Orlando,Florida, draw the most attention amongdog fanciers, and elevating the BeverlyHills event to a nationwide telecastcould draw in greater West Coast partic-ipation.

Vince Gill detours

from country on

romantic new albumBy KRISTIN M. HALL

Associated Press

NASHVILLE (AP) — SingerVince Gill is a standard bearerfor traditional country music,thanks to his encyclopedicknowledge of the genre and hismasterful guitar skills, but heonly included one true countrysong on his latest album.“Down To My Last Bad

Habit,” out Friday just beforeValentine’s Day, is actually acollection of love songs influ-enced by rock, blues, jazz andpop, but he couldn’t help payingtribute to his friend, the late,great George Jones on the finalsong, “Sad One Comin’ On.”“I fall in the world of a country

music artist, but this recorddoesn’t really have a whole lotto do with country music,” Gillsaid during an interview at hishome studio in Nashville.Gill’s previous album, “Bak-

ersfield,” with Paul Franklin,was an ode to the West Coastcountry sound of Buck Owensand Merle Haggard, and everyweek he plays country andWestern swing with The TimeJumpers. So when he startedpiecing together songs for hisfirst solo album since 2011, hefelt he didn’t have to stick tocountry music.“I think at the end of the day

when you are being creative,you just try to serve that songand honor that song with what itshould be, wherever that pointsyou,” Gill said. “(There) should-n’t be any limitations on where

it winds up.”Gill admitted he didn’t intend

to write an album full of songsabout romance and heartbreak,but over his 40-year career,those songs have always beenfan favorites, such as his 1992Grammy-winning hit, “I StillBelieve In You,” and “Look AtUs” from 1991.“There was no intent of a com-

mon thread of love,” Gill said.“But to me, at the end of the day,those are kind of the best thingsto write songs about. Whetherit’s the melancholy side of love,or the beautiful side of it, that’swhere all the angst comes fromanyway, from love.”Gill brought in some of country

music’s skilled singers to ampup the romantic intensity for acouple of duets on the album, in-

cluding Little Big Town andnew country singer Cam.Cam sang on “I’ll Be Waiting

for You,” a song that she saidGill told her he had writtenabout his wife, Christian musicsinger Amy Grant, before theygot married.“He wrote this song 15 or 16

years ago, and he’s been tryingto find someone to duet withhim that amount of time,” Camsaid. “I love things that reallyring true on a personal level andthe fact that this song is talkingabout he was going to wait forher. And they are together. It wasso sweet.”Gill and Lyle Lovett will team

up again for a special acousticaltour starting on Feb. 17 featuringthe two singers swapping songsand stories.

Cookeville men witnessed Lindberg kidnapping trialBy BOB MCMILLAN


Looking back in history, herewere some of the happenings inthe Cookeville area for the weekof Feb. 13-19, as recorded in thepages of the Herald-Citizen:1935

The new Tennessee Valley Au-thority is looking at the city’spower plant at Burgess Falls withan eye on a partnership.TVA is proposing to upgrade

the plant for $50,000 and buypower the city doesn’t need anddistribute it across the county.Cookeville would be the secondcity in the state with such anarrangement with TVA.The city would also be able to

buy power from TVA if the de-mand here exceeds the plant’sability to generate.Two Cookeville men, Walter

Phillips and M.N. Diden, were inFlemington, NJ, this week whenan historic courtroom drama cli-maxed with the death penalty fora German carpenter.They paid $3 each to squeeze

into a courtroom packed for thetrial of Bruno Hauptman, whowas accused of kidnapping andkilling the infant son of aviationlegend Charles Lindberg.They got to see several key fig-

ures in the trial — including “Jaf-sie,” who delivered $80,000 ingold certificates to a shadowyfigure in a cemetery to buy backthe child — but never sawHauptman himself.Hauptman was found guilty and

sentenced to the electric chair onMarch 18. (Feb. 13, 1935)1941

Services were held this week inWhitson Funeral Home for R.H.(Dick) Darwin, 41, who suffereda heart attack while staying in thehome of friends on BloomingtonSprings and who died beforemedical aid could reach him.

He was a well-knownCookeville businessman associ-ated with the Jenkins and Darwinstores. His wife, Mary Elizabeth,died about nine years ago.

With war getting closer everyday, 13 young Putnam men havevolunteered for military serviceand will load up on the bus thisweek for a trip to Ft. Oglethorpe,Ga., for training.

They include Carl Rhoton,Louis Robinson, Clarence Nash,James Oaks, Ernest Cobble, Fu-nice Smith, John Frazier, DowStewart, Thomas Bilyeu, OlonRamsey, Clyde Bussell, WilliamCampbell and Henry Campbell.

Charles Reagan retired thisweek after 37 years as a mail car-rier here.

He began delivering mail inrural route two in 1907 from theOld Cookeville Post Office onthe south side of the square. Hecovered the route by buggy in thesummer and horseback in thewinter when roads turned to mud.His route has grown from 22miles to 54 in recent years.

Before becoming a mail carrier,he served in the Spanish Ameri-can War and was in the Philip-pines for 18 months. He was alsoa member of the CookevilleBand for several years.

Capt. Milton Acuff, just backfrom special training at Fort DesMoines, Iowa, says that even anold cavalryman like himself issold on the new modern mecha-nized army.

Cookeville’s cavalry unit of theTennessee National Guard hasjust been converted to a mecha-nized artillery unit, and Acuff

went to Iowa to see how it works.He saw columns of tanks, mo-

torcycles and huge trucks pulling10,000-pound guns in all kinds ofweather and quickly deployingthem. There were no wateringdetails, no long marches on footand no grooming of horses. Acuffis a believer in the army of the fu-ture, he says. (Feb. 13, 1941)1946

The war is over and it’s time tobring Putnam’s people backhome and find ways to keep themhere, says the newspaper in thepage one editorial.During the war, 16 percent of

the county’s population left,some to war and some to defensefactories in Ohio, Chicago, De-troit and California.With the end of hostilities and

enlistments up, at least the youngmen are coming come — but arethere jobs to keep them here?The newspaper suggests that

county leaders look to improveagriculture and forestry job offer-ings, which in turn will send cashto local merchants on pay day.Tourism is also a possibility withcompletion near for those twonew dams, Center Hill and DaleHollow.In news from Putnam service-

men:— Mrs. Hallie Travis made the

trip to Nashville this week to theheadquarters of the Fourth Serv-ice Command to attend a specialceremony for her son, Capt.Bennett Travis, who couldn’t bethere.He was awarded an Oak Leaf

Cluster for his service as a fighterpilot in the South Pacific. He

went down in the last summer ofthe war and was never heardfrom again.— Algood Vaden is now serv-

ing at Fort Bragg, N.C., a littlecloser to home than Europe,where he was a paratrooper dur-ing the recent war.— Hubert Johnson has been

promoted to lieutenant colonel. Areserve officer called to activeduty in 1942, he served as an in-telligence officer. He was cap-tured during the Battle of theBulge and was liberated in Mayof 1945.He lost a brother, Thurman

Johnson, in the fighting in Ger-many in 1944, and has anotherbrother, John T. Johnson, whoserved in the Marines and who isnow back working at his father’sbusiness in Baxter. (Feb. 19,1946)1954

Putnam County is trying some-thing already widely used inEngland, Sweden and Denmarkto control the spread of rabies.Inoculation clinics for pets arecoming.The shots are already available

at the Putnam Health Departmentin town, but not all pet ownersmake the trip each year to gettheir pets treated.Now, health officials are spon-

soring a series of rabies clinicsacross the county to take theshots a little closer to the dogsand cats.County officials are also plan-

ning to take steps to rid thecounty of stray dogs, which are abig factor in the spread of rabiesacross the South.Lt. Col. Hubert V. Johnson, the

son of W.L. Johnson of Baxter,has been named executive officerfor Camp Tortuguero in PuertoRico. He’s been in the service since

1941 and was taken prisoner inthe Battle of the Bulge. He was

liberated in May of 1945.This week at the Princess: it’s

Kirby Grant and Chinook theWonder Dog in “YukonVengeance.” Also, there’s the13th chapter of “The Adventuresof Captain Kidd.” (Feb. 19,1954)1964

J.E. Lane, a retired TennesseeTech professor of education, toldthe newspaper this week that theway he lived to turn 80 this weekwas by learning to set aside wor-ries.“Life’s always been fun for me.

I’ve always enjoyed my friendsand love to associate with peo-ple,” he said.Cookeville Electric Department

Supt. W.R. Holland said thisweek that he is studying the pos-sibility of installing modern mer-cury vapor lights along the city’snine major thoroughfares.Such lights are only located

around Tennessee Tech and alongpart of the Algood Road at thepresent. The rest of the city’sstreetlights only provide mar-ginal lighting and are more costlyto run than vapor lights, he said.Upperman High this week ded-

icated its new $136,000 gymna-sium. School Supt. Eddie Watsonwas the main speaker for the cer-emony. Dr. Harry Upperman, re-tired headmaster of BaxterSeminary, gave the invocation.(Feb. 18, 1964)1974

The dedication of PutnamCounty’s new $450,000 libraryon Broad Street was an occasionfor the newspaper to look back atpast libraries here.The first began in the home of a

member of the Book Lovers Clubin 1923. The home is where 1stNational Bank stands this year.Later, the collection was moved

to what became known as theClara Cox Epperson Library lo-cated between Spring and Broad

in what used to be the Dr. W.A.Howard hospital.Dr. Howard built that two-story

brick building in 1921. Patientsstayed in second story rooms for$3 a day. He later sold it to thecity, which operated it until itbuilt the present hospital in1951.That was the year the library

took over half the building. TheBoard of Education used the halffacing Spring Street.The name came from the

mother of the wife of Dr.Howard, Clara Cox Epperson, apoetess of some renown here inthe 20s and 30s.That name will fade into his-

tory now. The new library, lo-cated on the site of the oldCapshaw home, will be calledthe Putnam County Library.(Feb. 13, 1974)1984

Luther Mathis, who turneddown the job of Cookeville CityManager in 1981, has been of-fered the position again byCookeville City Council.Mathis, whose primary job is

running the sewer, water and gasdepartments, has also served forseveral years as assistant citymanager.Since the council asked Ed

Kimsey to resign the city man-ager’s post recently, Mathis hasbeen acting city manager as well.This week the council again of-fered him the position. Mathissays he’s thinking it over.Another change in leadership in

the Soviet Union. Yuri An-dropov, the former head of theKGB who was named 18 monthsago as head of the CommunistParty, died of a heart attack thisweek.He took over after Leonid

Brezhnev died. His successor isKonstantin Chernenko who, at72, is the oldest leader of the So-viet Union. (Feb. 13, 1984)

Decorators’ tips for a cozy winter bedroomBy MELISSA RAYWORTH

Associated Press

Decorating a bedroom is about creatinga peaceful retreat, and in winter thatmeans making it as cozy and welcomingas possible.For some people, “cozy” requires the

physical warmth of thick flannel sheetsand soft quilts, says California-based de-signer Kathryn Bechen. For others, fill-ing a bedroom with sentimental itemscan make the space feel warmer andmore welcoming. Still others find thatthe golden glow of soft light bulbs andthe flicker of candles (real or fake) canelevate a bedroom from merely comfort-able to truly cozy on winter nights.Here, Bechen and two other interior

designers — Maxwell Ryan, founder ofthe Apartment Therapy website (apart-menttherapy.com), and New York-basedYoung Huh — suggest ways to createthe warmest, coziest bedroom possible.

Sounds And ScentsA cozy bedroom is quiet, says Ryan. So

consider adding an extra throw rug onthe floor or heavier draperies on the win-dows to absorb sound. And if you don’talready have one, he says, get a padded,upholstered headboard.Ryan treated himself to one several

years ago and was surprised at the im-pact.“Lying in bed, my head was near this

big upholstered piece,” he says, and the

room was noticeably quieter.Taking that strategy a step further, Huh

suggests upholstering one or severalwalls in your master bedroom. Like aheadboard, this will absorb sound andalso create a sense of warmth when yousee and feel the plush, padded fabric.

Along with sounds, consider scents.Cinnamon-scented candles, for instance,can “make you feel cozy instead ofgloomy” in winter, Huh says.

Don’t like cinnamon? A wide range ofscents will work, says Bechen, evensome you wouldn’t expect: If the smell

of coconut and pineapple brings backmemories of a mellow, sun-drenched va-cation in the tropics, that fragrance maybring you a sense of calm and warmth.

Colors And LightAlong with scenting the air, candles

give a room a “warm, soft, invitingglow,” Huh says. She recommends light-ing them every evening in winter.If you’re worried about lighting a

flame in your bedroom, consider pairingflameless LED candles with a diffusercontaining scented oil.Or swap out your light bulbs for ones

that offer warm, yellow or pink-tingedlight. The newest energy-efficient bulbsgive warmer light than the original com-pact fluorescents, and dimmers can alsohelp create appealing, soothing light.Colors also convey strong messages;

for a cozy space, Ryan suggests avoid-ing over-stimulating colors like brightreds or yellows in favor of calminggreens, grays, eggplant, lavender andeven some blues.But Bechen points out that bedroom

colors are a very personal choice. Somefolks prefer a room decorated in low-key, calming colors, but others will drawwarmth and coziness from deep, power-ful shades. If a color delights you, shesays, then it may work as a calming, joy-ful influence.

Winter Fabrics And RugsHuh says winter is the season for lay-

ering on extra soft blankets and addingthrow rugs on top of your usual floorcovering. Consider a faux-sheepskin orfaux-fur throw rug, or a fluffy flokatirug.Look for winter sheets that are flannel

or heavy cotton, and make sure they’resoft. No one feels cozy on scratchysheets, says Bechen.Ryan suggests choosing sheets in dark,

cool colors like deep brown, charcoalgray, even rich eggplant. Just make surethey don’t contain too much red.He also recommends adding a thick

bed pad, feather bed or extra-thick mat-

tress cover under your fitted sheet foradded warmth and softness.If you have a four-poster bed, he says,

consider draping fabric over the top anddown the sides to create a warm, en-closed space. If you don’t have a four-poster but love the idea of fabric drapedaround your bed, he suggests getting“one of the big white, gauzy canopiesthat hang from the ceiling.” Even if it’sas light as mosquito netting, he says, itgives a sense of being wrapped in some-thing cozy.It’s “romantic and lovely,” he says,

“and not just for kids.”Finishing Touches

Being cozy includes feeling a bit pam-pered, says Bechen. If you have space,consider setting up a little coffee or teastation in your bedroom, like you’d findin a hotel room. On a Saturday morning, drink your

coffee cuddled up under soft blanketsrather than at the kitchen table.Huh suggests splurging on a soft chair

for reading in your bedroom.For Ryan, a powerful but silent air pu-

rifier is a great finishing touch to makeyour air healthier and help you drift offto sleep feeling secure.One detail he doesn’t recommend?

Decorative pillows.“True coziness has to be something

you touch and feel and use,” he says, notsomething on your bed that you’ll neveruse.

Cookeville native photographs national parksBy CAROLYN E. WRIGHT

Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN

I had visited Rocky Mountain NationalPark many times to hike, bike, and pho-tograph the beautiful landscape. Thistime was different. With my new hus-band in tow, we were in search of the elkrut, also known as the mating season,when the males fight for a harem ofcows and their calves. The bull elk alsowill bugle during this time to attract thefemales and to intimidate other bulls.We started our afternoon drive from

Estes Park where we were staying in thefamous Stanley Hotel, which was the in-spiration for the movie “The Shining.”We followed the main road through thepark, stopping to enjoy several over-looks, as this was my husband’s firstvisit to the park. It was getting late and Iknew we had to get to the Poudre Lakearea where the land is flat and waterabundant. There, we should find ourgoal.We rounded the corner and saw herds

of elk. I couldn’t gather my cameraequipment fast enough. Fortunately, wewere rewarded with several young bullsfighting and other interactions. It’s an in-credible opportunity to witness nature atwork.This is one of my many wonderful ex-

periences at our national parks. Thesememories started as a youngster grow-ing up in Tennessee, where my familyand friends made several trips to nearbySmoky Mountain National Park. Myfamily enjoyed the outdoors and camp-ing, so I soon started to document thebeauty with my camera.I later added the goal of visiting every

national park to my bucket list. While Icould spend lots of time and money trav-eling all over the world, it is much easierand cheaper to enjoy the incredible di-versity and beauty of our park system. Idon’t have to worry about language bar-riers, passports, or currency exchanges.I also had to travel for work, so it waseasy to add a weekend visiting a nearbypark to my business trip.We have 59 national parks, plus many

more national monuments and recre-ation areas. I’ve been to 33 nationalparks (some of them several times),from the Everglades in Florida, to De-nali in Alaska, Acadia in Maine, and Se-quoia in California. Each park hasunique and varied features. RockyMountain National Park is my overallfavorite because of its combination ofextreme mountains and wildlife. KenaiFjords (sea life, including whales, otters,and sea lions) and Lake Clark (coastalbrown bears, aka grizzlies) offer theclosest access to animals. Great SandDunes provided the most fun, runningand rolling down the dunes. Yellowstonepresents the most diversity of landscape

and animals.My experiences during my visits have

ranged from elation to fear. During abackpacking trip in the Smoky Moun-tains, a wasp stung me, we had to crossa fast running creek seven times, and wegot lost for several hours. I’ve watcheda mother bear nurse her cub within feetof me in Lake Clark. I’ve seen the rareblossoming of fields of wildflowers inDeath Valley. The Denali mountain pro-vided the most spectacular view, but itis one of the most difficult areas to hikebecause there are no trails in the park. Ifought hypothermia during a backpacktrip there. An alligator approached us inthe Everglades. I hiked to the bottomand back up the steep Grand Canyon.Deer ate berries next to me in Olympic.

played with a camera, and it ig-nited a passion. She joined theCookeville Camera Club andstarted learning from expertsthere. She also started studyingthe work of national expertssuch as Kathleen Clemons,whose flower portraits are ahuge inspiration for Skinner.

“I have a neighbor who has alot of flowers in the summer, soI live in her garden. I ask peopleif I can go play in their yardearly in the mornings. I try notto pop out of their flower beds infront of their bedroom window,”she laughs. “I also love to go topeople’s homes and take pic-tures of their outside garden andhouse, especially some of theseold, old houses. Then I take thepictures and make a DVD out ofit.”She enjoys taking close-ups of

flowers in bloom and the beadsof dew on petals. At last year’sPutnam County Fair, she tookaway the first place and best inshow for a photo of a milkweedplant exploding with seeds.However what surprises many isthat her favorite time to takephotos of flowers is when theyare dying.“When the flowers start wilting

and dying, to me they becomemore beautiful,” she said. “Theyget all of these deep lines and in-teresting colors. It’s so interest-ing to me.”She printed a whole book filled

with her photos of wilting flow-ers and inspired a musical friendto compose a song titled “Ode tothe Flowers.”

Skinner also enjoys playingwith techniques to get a moreartistic effect. She sets her cam-era’s shutter to close slowly andputs her aperture on a high set-ting, then moves the camera justa tiny bit as it takes a photo. Thisgives the photo a slight blurwhich can give the image apainted look. She has beenknown to print one of these pho-tos on canvas and then applypaint on top to enhance theimage.

She also had some of her im-ages printed to fabric and thenquilted with them, giving theimage a unique texture.

“I’m used to textures becausein my knit shop I designedsweaters for companies,” shesaid. “I did high and low, samecolor but different textures,shiny and dull — so I’m tryingto counter the flatness of pho-tography with the movement,which gives dimensions.”

It’s only been about two and ahalf years since Skinner startedplaying with photography, andshe’s still learning more all thetime.

“I play with things, and some-times I ruin things,” she chuck-led. “But I just try things.”

Her work is on display thismonth for the first time ever inthe Cumberland Art Society’sBackdoor Gallery, located at186 S Walnut Ave # A,Cookeville. The gallery is openMonday through Friday fromnoon to 4 p.m. and Sunday from1-4 p.m.

JJ Jax closing after 20 yearsby LAUrA MILITANA


COOKEVILLE — Jenny Jackson Spurlock is ex-cited to move on to a new opportunity, but the decisionto close her store after 20 years of successful businessis also a bittersweet one.

“It’s been a great ride,” she said upon announcing theclosure of JJ Jax early last week. “The customers, theJax Girls and I were all crying over it because we’relike a family, but I have no regrets.”

It was Sept. 4, 1995, when Spurlock and her mother,Janice, opened JJ Jax.

“It had been a dream of ours for a long time,” Spur-

lock recalled. “She called me and said, “I’ve bought abuilding! Let’s open a gift shop. And I said yes.”Janice passed away in 1999, four years after opening

her dream. But Spurlock and her team had the supportof her father, Harold Jackson, and she kept the doorsopen.When Janice passed away, Brighton was a new jew-

elry line just becoming popular. The store is aBrighton heart store — a designation only five percentof Brighton retailers nationwide get.It is also the exclusive dealer for Pandora Jewelry

and is known for its Christmas decorations.Among the newer items sold at the store are Renaldo

Jewelry, sterling silver and 14K jewelry, and also fea-

tures Spartina 449 handbags and jewelry, collectibles,clothing, home accessories and gifts.Through the store, Spurlock has also raised funds for

worthy causes, raising funds for water wells in Kenya,Africa, childhood diabetes, local food banks and more.But in the past year, Spurlock had a new opportunity

to come up.“I’ll still be around,” she said. “I’ll be working with

the Chamber.”She’s excited about the new opportunity.Liquidation sales will be going on now and she ex-

pects a complete shutdown by mid-March.“It’s been a great thing and I’ll miss it, but my cus-

tomers can now see me at the Chamber,” she said.

Microbreweries picking up in popularityby LAUrA MILITANA


COOKEVILLE — It’s beennearly two years since the Cityof Cookeville approved changesto the zoning code allowingbreweries and similar conceptsin the city limits, while the statechanged laws last year to bringthe state up to speed on the pop-ular trend.Both of those elements have

been instrumental in allowing abrewery to open in Cookeville,which is projected to be the firstof many.“Originally, the law said that

any county under 75,000 couldnot brew your own beer on siteand sell it,” Jim Helton, co-owner of Red Silo BrewingCompany, said. “That was re-stricted to the large cities and inplaces such as Pigeon Forge andGatlinburg.”Two small brewery owners in

east Tennessee worked to getthat changed at the legislature.It’s now open to all counties.

“Now this allows anybody todo this,” he said. “We didn’t re-alize that was a state law until wegot into it. This time last year, wecouldn’t do what we’re workingto do in the spring.”

Helton has been home brewingsince the late ‘90s, while otherpartners have been doing it forquite a while.

“I’ve enjoyed beer since I wasin college, and my wife boughtme a home brewing kit as aChristmas gift,” Helton said.“That’s how it typically startsand it turns into a hobby.”

And it’s a field that requires alot of work.

It takes anywhere from four tofive hours to brew a batch ofbeer.

“It’s a lot of work and it’s acommitment,” he said. “But ifyou enjoy beer, homebrewing

gives you the options of reallyexpanding the flavors, the bod-ies, the experience of drinkingbeer.”There is also a sense of pride to

it as well and you learn thingsover time.Helton and his partners, who

include Mark Van der Bleeck,Elijah Thomen and Richard Win-kle, first introduced their cre-ations to the public at the annualBrews and Blues event.“I guess it was January of 2015

we really got serious about look-ing at the laws and regulationsthat were in place,” he said.“Then we attended last year’sBrews and Blues, and we gaveaway eight kegs of beer. It reallybecame popular.”At that point, a location on the

westside of town that had a silowas nailed down. This is wherethe name originated.“We found another location and

kept the name,” he said. “We’ve

really started pushing it out thispast summer.”According to the Brewer’s As-

sociation, in 2015, there were 39craft breweries in the state ofTennessee, with 121,515 barrelsproduced per year. Since 1999,there have been more than 4,000breweries pop up in the UnitedStates. That’s more than therewere before Prohibition.“It really got its start on the

west coast,” Helton said. “In themid-90s, it just really started tak-ing off.”It’s grown into the shop-local,

organic, go-green movement —it’s all hand made and has itsown niche.“There are two breweries open-

ing every day in the nation,” hesaid.And it’s completely different

from commercial operations.“When you go from home-

Yellen: Too early to determineimpact of global developmentsBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER

AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fed-eral Reserve Chair Janet Yellencautioned Thursday that globaleconomic pressures pose risks tothe U.S. economy but said it’s toosoon to know whether those risksare severe enough to alter theFed’s interest-rate policies.Yellen said the Fed will deter-

mine at its next meeting in Marchhow much economic weaknessand falling markets around theworld have hamstrung U.S.growth. And for a second day,Yellen was asked about the possi-bility that the Fed would use neg-ative interest rates as a way togive the economy more support.She repeated that the Fed had

studied the prospect of deployingnegative rates in 2010 but had de-cided then not to use them to tryto boost the economy. But shesaid the Fed thought it shouldstudy the issue again now thatother central banks, including inEurope and Japan, are using neg-ative rates to try to step up lendingand energize growth.“In light of the experience of Eu-

ropean countries and others thathave gone to negative rates,”Yellen said, “we are taking a lookat them again because we wouldwant to be prepared in the eventwe needed” to nudge rates belowzero to try to fuel borrowing andspending.Yellen stressed that any Fed de-

cision to employ negative rates inthe United States was not immi-nent. She said that while the fi-nancial landscape has darkenedsince the Fed’s December rate in-crease, reversing course fromgradually raising rates to cuttingrates is “not what I consider themost likely scenario.”

The Fed chair acknowledgedthat the central bank has been sur-prised by how much energy priceshave dropped and the U.S. dollarhas risen in value since mid-2014.

“We have been surprised in partby those developments, and theyhave played a significant role inholding down inflation,” Yellensaid.

The Fed has tied further rate in-creases to further evidence thatit’s moving toward achieving itsgoal of having inflation rise at arate of 2 percent annually. Fornearly four years, the Fed hasfallen well short of that target, inpart because of sinking energyprices and a stronger dollar, whichlowers the cost of importedgoods.

Yellen’s testimony Thursday tothe Senate Banking Committeefollowed an appearance Wednes-day before the House FinancialServices Committee. On bothdays, Yellen cautioned that globalpressures could depress the econ-omy’s growth and slow the paceof Fed rate hikes.

On Thursday, Sen. CharlesSchumer, D-N.Y., challengedYellen on the pace of future ratehikes. Schumer argued that push-ing ahead too quickly with morerate hikes would be a mistakegiven that wage growth is justnow showing signs of picking up.The senator said another concernwas that rate increases could fur-ther boost the dollar’s value at atime when a strong dollar hasbeen depressing the exports ofAmerican manufacturers.

“Further movement by the Fedto raise rates could snuff out theembers of wage growth,”Schumer told Yellen. “I am lessworried about inflation and moreworried about slow wagegrowth.”

Questions grow over banks as profit warnings pile upBy GREG KELLER

Associated Press

PARIS (AP) — Questions are growing overthe financial health of banks, particularly inEurope and the U.S., as they face a toxic mixof low economic growth, bad loans andsqueezed earnings.France’s Societe Generale became Thurs-

day the latest bank to issue a confidence-shattering profit warning, which helpedtrigger a new sell-off in financial stocks. Thebank saw its share price stumble 12 percentand major rivals like Deutsche Bank andUniCredit saw losses of nearly 10 percent.European banks are not the only ones to

suffer. Japanese bank Mitsubishi Financialfell 7 percent on Thursday. In the U.S., Mor-gan Stanley, Citigroup and Bank of Americaare down more than 30 percent so far thisyear.Among the top concerns is that the global

economy will weaken more than expected,souring some of the loans that banks have is-sued to companies around the world — par-ticularly in distressed sectors like the energyindustry. U.S. banks have tens of billions ofexposure to loans made to energy companies,who have found themselves unable to payback their debts due to low energy prices.Mike van Dulken, head of research at Ac-

cendo Markets, says the latest weakness inbank stocks stems from U.S. Federal ReserveChair Janet Yellen “warning on current finan-cial market turbulence and suggesting furtherrate hikes could be delayed, which added toalready raised anxiety about the health of theglobal economy.”On Wednesday, Yellen cautioned that global

weakness and falling financial markets coulddepress the U.S. economy’s growth and slowthe pace of Fed interest rate hikes. That’s aparticular concern as the U.S. economy hasbeen one of the few bright spots in the globaleconomy, which is seeing a slowdown inChina and stagnation in Japan and Europe.The slowing of interest rate increases in the

U.S. is also bad news for the big banks,which have been waiting anxiously for inter-est rates to rise. Since the financial crisis, thebig banks have largely grown profits by cut-ting costs. Higher interest rates would meanbanks could charge more for their loans.The fact that many central banks keep cut-

ting interest rates, pushing down marketlending rates, is further hurting banks bysqueezing their profits. Banks mainly makemoney by lending, so as rates drop, so doearnings. Investors made big bets in the sec-ond half of last year that interest rates wouldrise in the U.S., so to see that bet fail hasforced investors to dump bank shares.The situation is worsened in some regions,

particularly the eurozone and Japan, wherethe central banks charge commercial banksto deposit money with them.

Analysts at Capital Economics say that ifthe European Central Bank cuts one of itskey interest rates further below zero, “thiscould have adverse effects on banks’ prof-itability.”Citing ECB chief Mario Draghi’s recent

statements that the central bank could takemore action in March, the analysts said theECB “seems prepared to squeeze banks’profitability further in the short term in orderto support the economy.”The Stoxx index of European bank shares

is down 20 percent in the last month, whenDraghi first mentioned chance that the ECBmight try to offer more stimulus in March tolower market rates.In some markets, bad loans are already pil-

ing up — or have not been dealt with effec-tively since the global financial crisis.

Don’t tithewith credit

cards

Dear Dave: What is youropinion of churches en-couraging members to

do e-giving with credit cardsand debit cards?MelissaDear Melissa: I’m against

debt, so I’m not particularlyfond of churches asking peopleto use a debt vehicle to pay theirtithes. I realize that few busi-nesses and organizations distin-guish between debit cards andcredit cards when acceptingpayment. However, this practice

bothers mea lot when itcomes tochurches.The Biblementionsdebt severaltimes inScripture,and everytime it does,it’s alwaysin a nega-tive light.It’s not asalvationissue oranything

like that, but the Bible basicallysays debt is a foolish thing. Now, I think e-giving in itself

is fine. But if I were the pastoror on the leadership board, andwe had an e-giving process, Iwould strongly encourage peo-ple to use debit cards and notcredit cards. There’s nothingwrong with a draft or an ACHkind of thing. A lot of people dothat and like the ability to giveonline.But I don’t want a giving situa-

tion to your church turn intodebt to you. And it does just thatwhen it’s a credit card!Dear Dave: I just bought a

new smartphone, and the com-pany I’m with offers insurancefor the device. Do you think itwould be wise or foolish to dothis?LisaDear Lisa: The purpose of in-

surance is to transfer a risk thatyou can’t afford to take. When itcomes to things like cars orhouses, I absolutely recommendthat people have insurance.Most folks couldn’t just write acheck for another car if the onethey drive were totaled. It’s thesame with a house. If yourhome is destroyed, the insur-ance takes care of things insteadof putting you in the position ofhaving to pull tens or hundredsof thousands of dollars out ofyour own pocket for a newhome — also something mostpeople can’t do.No, I don’t insure inexpensive

things like smartphones. And ifa smartphone is an expensiveitem to you, then you probablyshouldn’t have that phone. Imean, there’s nothing wrongwith having a cell phone if youcan afford it. But if you tear upa phone or it breaks down andyou can’t afford to replace it outof your own pocket, then you’vegot too much phone!

Zika virus has phones ringingat pest control, travel firms

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERGAP Business Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Some small U.S. com-panies are getting an influx in calls — and insome cases, unexpected business — due tofears about the Zika virus.

The virus often produces either no symptomsor mild ones like fever in adults, but an out-break in Brazil has been linked to a rare birthdefect that causes a newborn’s heads to besmaller and brain development issues. Out-breaks also have been reported in parts ofAfrica, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, andthe Americas.

Pest control companies in Texas are getting asurge in business because of concerns that mos-quitoes bearing the Zika virus will arrive fromneighboring Mexico. The companies are al-ready spraying homes, schools and other prop-erties; usually they don’t start until April.

Darryl Nevins’ Mosquito Joe franchise inHouston began getting an increase in calls lastweek after news reports of seven cases of Zikavirus in the metropolitan area. None of thecases resulted from mosquito bites in Texas, thereports said, but people aren’t taking chancesand want their property sprayed.

“It’s not just residential customers, what weprimarily had in the past,” Nevins says.“Schools, day care, commercial customers witha park nearby are calling and asking, ’What dowe do to protect outdoor seating?’”

Nevins says he’s getting 15 inquiries a day,which is very unusual for this time of year.Even in the middle of the summer, he says, thecompany typically only gets 10 calls a day.Based on the demand Nevins is seeing, he ex-pects to double his staff of four workers to han-dle the spraying.

In North Austin, Texas, Karyn Brown’s Mos-quito Squad franchise has been getting callssince mid-January — a marked change fromtypical years, when the phone doesn’t ring untilApril. Some of her customers want their prop-erty sprayed, while others want informationabout how mosquitoes spread the virus.

Brown is considering hiring more workers tohandle a heavier workload.

“I feel a little guilty — I don’t want to profitoff something so negative,” Brown says.

Jim Grace’s travel insurance company is sell-ing more policies known as “cancel for any rea-son” coverage because of the Zika virus. Unlikeregular insurance, it allows a traveler to be re-

imbursed if they just don’t want to make thetrip. Grace, CEO of InsureMyTrip in Warwick,Rhode Island, estimates his sales of these poli-cies are up between 15 percent and 20 percentfrom last year because people are on the fenceabout vacations or business trips to affectedareas.“As long as it’s at least 48 hours before you

have to depart,” you can say, I’m not going,”Grace says.In many ways, the Zika outbreak is like past

outbreaks of disease in that it has created busi-ness for some U.S. companies, while hurtingothers. During the Ebola virus outbreak in WestAfrica in 2014, companies that sold protectiveclothing like hazmat suits had increased salesbecause of demand from customers like med-ical facilities. On the flip side, companies thatarranged safari tours to Africa lost some of theirbusiness because would-be travelers wereafraid they might catch the disease.There was some concern in the travel industry

that people would cancel some trips to placeslike Brazil because of the Zika virus.But the trade group American Society of

Travel Agents says its members aren’t losingmoney to the virus so far — they’re reportingfew outright cancellations, where people, con-cerned about the virus, cancel trips and don’tpick another destination. Still, customers arecalling agents with questions about the virus.“In this case with the Zika virus, if it tracks

along the same lines as some other recent travelconcerns, there will only be a small shift inbooking patterns,” spokeswoman JenniferMichels says. “Some travelers, if they do can-cel, will simply ask advice on somewhere elseto go and how to best switch their itineraries.”Still, some small businesses are concerned

about how the virus might affect travel.Wedding planner Danielle Rothweiler is wor-

ried about her revenue. She’s already suggest-ing that the engaged couples she’s workingwith look at places like Greece rather thanMexico. She’s concerned that even if coupleshave their hearts set on a Caribbean wedding,relatives and friends will balk at traveling to anaffected area. Faced with that kind of opposi-tion, many couples are likely to get marriednear their homes and have simpler weddings,says Rothweiler, owner of Rothweiler EventDesign in Verona, New Jersey. If that happens,she believes she’ll lose business.“The odds that they’ll hire a planner for a local

wedding are not great,” she says.

U.S. businessstockpiles rise inDecember, but sales fall

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.businesses boosted their stockpilesslightly in December, as salesdropped sharply. This combinationhas stoked anxieties about weak-ening economic growth.The Commerce Department says

December business inventoriesrose 0.1 percent, after havingslipped 0.1 percent in November.Both manufacturers and retailers— which were responding to hol-iday shopping — increased theirstockpiles.But sales fell 0.6 percent in De-

cember, with a stiff 1.4 percentdrop in manufacturer revenues ac-counting for much of the drop.Overall business sales fell 2.4

percent last year to $15.8 billion,the first decline since the recessionin 2009.

brewing to commercial, it’s a big step not onlyin production size, but you better control youringredients, your temperature, which gives youa consistent product,” he said.

The distribution system is also different.“In Tennessee, we can self-distribute,” he said.

“It cuts out the middle man.”In the federal system, there’s a three-tier sys-

tem — you can’t own a brewery, retailer or dis-tributor. You must keep them separate.

“In our case, we want to saturate the localmarket and hopefully serve four or five restau-rants, and ideally have people come to us in thefacility and try our beer,” he said.

Microbreweries are limited to 5,000 barrels ayear.

“That’s a lot of beer,” he said. “We may do700 barrels on our system, maxed out.”Each brewery is unique. The first brewery in the Upper Cumberland is

Calfkiller Brewing Company located in Sparta,begun by brothers Don and Dave Sergio in2004.With the two in the construction business, they

converted a horse shed into the home breweryusing 100 percent recycled materials. They alsopieced together their brewing system.“Our love of beer mixed with the love of cre-

ating something with our hands is what drewus to home brewing and ultimately fueled us towhere we are now,” the Sergios said.A message left with Manny Edwards of Jig

Head Brewing for comment was not returnedby press time.

BREWERY: It allbegan as a hobby forlocal home brewers

By MICHAEL R. BLOODAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Thepowerful agency that managesdevelopment on California’scoastline fired its executiveWednesday after a lengthy and,at times, emotionally chargedmeeting that veered from accusa-tions about the influence of de-velopers and lobbyists todiscussions on the mundaneinner workings of government.The California Coastal Com-

mission voted 7-5 to dismiss Ex-ecutive Director Charles Lester,who has held the post since 2011.The vote was taken behindclosed doors.The shake-up raises questions

about the direction of an agencyoften caught in the clash betweenproperty rights and conservation.The panel has broad sway overconstruction and environmentalissues in coastal areas that in-clude some of the most covetedreal estate in the U.S.The decision to oust Lester

stood in striking contrast with adaylong meeting that amountedto a nearly unanimous show ofsupport for the embattled execu-tive director and his staff. Hun-dreds of people filled a meetingroom in Morro Bay to capacity,with scores more outside, manywaving signs saying “MoreLester” and “Save Our Coast.”Supporters chanted outside: “Wewant Lester.”Environmental activists suspect

some commission memberswanted to push out Lester tomake way for management thatwould be more favorable to de-velopment, while a businessgroup has questioned the tacticsof the agency’s staff.Before the vote, several com-

mission members said that talk ofa “coup” or “conspiracy” to oustLester was a groundless narrativepushed in the media by thoseeager to save Lester’s job.Instead, without directly attack-

ing Lester, they indicated that theproposal to dismiss him wasrooted in questions about

Lester’s job performance andhow he interacted with the com-mission and entities regulated bythem. Some complained they hadbeen left in the dark on importantmatters, or had difficulty obtain-ing information.

“It makes for easy drama topaint this as some plot by a gangof blood-thirsty developers whosee only one man in their way oftotal destruction of the coast,”said Commissioner Mark Vargas.

The commission heard fromdozens of witnesses, includingmembers of its staff, all support-ing Lester’s work. They praisedhim for a balanced hand in regu-lation and thorough and inde-pendent evaluation of proposedprojects along the coastline.

Lester’s supporters repeatedlyevoked the creation of the com-mission in the early 1970s, whenrapid development was reshapingthe California coast. Withoutchecks and balances, theywarned, California’s coast couldbecome lined with high-risebuildings and luxury resorts opento the wealthy few.

Susan Jordan of the CaliforniaCoastal Protection Networkwarned that Lester’s removalcould threaten beach access forthe public and open a new era ofunchecked development.

“There will always be anotherbillionaire who will block accessto the beach,” she warned, allud-ing to notorious fights overbeaches in Malibu and othercelebrity enclaves.

William L. Perocchi, chief ex-ecutive of the Pebble Beach Co.,which owns the famed seasidegolf course, submitted a letter tothe panel calling Lester “fair,pragmatic, creative, open andreasonable.”

Commission Chairman SteveKinsey notified Lester in a letterlast month that the panel wouldconsider whether to fire him.

Lester’s dismissal comes in themidst of a long-running reviewof a proposed development ofnearly 1,400 homes, a resort andretail space known as BanningRanch in the Newport Beach

area.Despite wide publicity on

Lester’s fate, Gov. Jerry Brown,who appoints four commissionmembers, distanced himself fromthe debate. His spokesman, EvanWestrup, said in a statement that“this is a matter the Coastal Com-mission initiated without any in-volvement from our office.”All of Brown’s appointees on

the panel voted to fire Lester.The 12-member commission

has received about 29,000 lettersand emails, virtually all of themsupporting Lester’s leadership.But a letter from the Los Ange-

les County Business Federation,an alliance of 155 businessgroups, faulted the commission’sstaff for a lack of accountabilityand regulatory overreach.“California Coastal Commis-

sion staff attempt to assert con-trol over facilities, projects andland use” outside of their control,according to the letter receivedby the panel Wednesday.Lester has aggressively de-

fended his tenure and depictedhimself as an able steward of thecoast. He has said he and thecommission have made stridesaddressing the effects of sea-level rise tied to climate change,protecting open space and win-ning additional funding.He defended his record for

nearly 40 minutes Wednesday,stressing the need for an inde-pendent, impartial staff to reviewprojects, with the commissionthen voting on those recommen-dations.“If the two intertwine, then the

recommendation or the commis-sion decision ... will be untrust-worthy,” he warned.

How impoverished but nuclear-armed North Korea earns moneyBy KIM TONG-HYUNG

Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) —The closure of a factory park inNorth Korea jointly run by bothKoreas has cost the impover-ished North a rare source of le-gitimate hard currency. Seoulsays it shut the Kaesong com-plex in response to the North’srecent long-range rocket launchto keep its impoverished neigh-bor from using the money facto-ries provided to fund its nuclearand missile programs.With that hit to Pyongyang’s al-

ready shaky finances gone, atleast for now, here’s a look at theNorth’s economy and the exter-nal sources of income it main-tains despite a raft of heavyinternational sanctions over itsnuclear and ballistic missilesprogram.PYONGYANG’S ECON-

OMY

Seoul and Washington wantmore stringent trade and finan-cial sanctions to punish theNorth’s nuclear and missile ad-ventures, but some questionwhether sanctions will evermeaningfully influence one ofthe least trade-dependent

economies on the planet.And what of that economy? It

is extremely difficult to read be-cause it doesn’t release officialtrade statistics and treasures itssecrecy.

South Korea’s central bank,however, provides some idea ofwhat’s happening, based on datait receives every year from othergovernment agencies, related or-ganizations and an investigationof research organizations.

The bank has been publishingestimates of North Korea’s econ-omy since 1991. In its latest re-port, it said it believes theNorth’s economy grew by 1 per-cent in 2014 to 33.95 trillionSouth Korean won, or $28.5 bil-lion, or about 2 percent of SouthKorea’s economy.

The Bank of Korea said NorthKorea’s combined imports andexports that year were about $9.9billion, including $2.4 billion intrade with the South, which theUnification Ministry says wasgenerated nearly entirely fromthe activities at Kaesong.

TRADE WITH CHINA

And then there’s China, Py-ongyang’s last major ally, itsdiplomatic protector and by farits largest trading partner.

North Korea’s main exports toChina include coal, minerals,clothing, textiles and foodstuffs,while its imports from China in-clude petroleum, steel, machin-ery, cars and electronics,according to South Korea’s gov-ernment-funded Korea Trade-In-vestment Promotion Agency.Beijing, however, is unlikely to

support harsh punishment overthe nuclear test and rocketlaunch for fear of provoking agovernment collapse in Py-ongyang and a potential streamof refugees across its border.Transactions with China ac-

counted for more than 74 percentof North Korea’s trade in 2014,and more than 90 percent whenexcluding trade related to theKaesong park, according to Sta-tistics Korea, Seoul’s official sta-tistics agency, which analyzedthe central bank data and infor-mation from trade organizations.KAESONG INDUSTRIAL

PARK

The South’s Unification Min-istry says the Kaesong park pro-vided 616 billion won ($560million) of cash to the Northsince its establishment in 2004,during an era of rapprochementbetween the rivals.

More than 120 South Koreancompanies employed about54,000 North Koreans atKaesong, paying each about$150 a month to manufactureproducts such as clothing, wrist-watches, cosmetics and electron-ics components.The ministry hasn’t provided a

detailed explanation on why itsuspects money generated fromKaesong was channeled to NorthKorea’s nuclear weapons andmissile projects.Jeong Joon-Hee, the ministry’s

spokesman, said it was plausiblethat a sizeable amount of themoney the South Korean compa-nies paid for North Korean laborwould have ended up in Py-ongyang’s state coffers becauseof the way the workers receivetheir wages. While the SouthKorean companies pay the Northin U.S. dollars, their North Ko-rean employees receive wages inNorth Korean won based on anexchange rate dictated by theNorth’s government.EXPORTING WORKERS

Outside experts say that NorthKorea since the mid-2000s hasbeen increasing the number ofworkers sent for contract laboroverseas in an attempt to bring in

more hard currency.The Korea Trade-Investment

Promotion Agency, based on in-formation collected from itsglobal offices and reports frominternational organizations, esti-mates that 60,000 to 100,000North Koreans are working in 40different countries.Marzuki Darusman, a U.N. spe-

cial rapporteur on human rightsin North Korea, said in a reportlast year that more than 50,000North Koreans are workingoverseas and earning the countrysomething between $1.2 billionand $2.3 billion annually in for-eign currency.North Koreans have been em-

ployed in a broad range of activ-ities in foreign countries,including working at restaurantsin China and Southeast Asia andconstruction sites in Russia, theMiddle East and North Africa,according to the InternationalNetwork for the Human Rightsof North Korean OverseasLabor.North Korean workers overseas

often face harsh working condi-tions and abuse, said the U.N. re-port.LURING TOURISTS

North Korea has tried to

strengthen tourism in recentyears by setting up specialtourism zones and developingscenic areas and recreational fa-cilities.North Korean officials have

told The Associated Press thatabout 100,000 tourists came tothe country in 2014, all but a fewthousand of them from neighbor-ing China. The growth intourism has come despite the oc-casional arrest of foreign visi-tors, including, most recently,American university studentOtto Warmbier, who was de-tained last month over an un-specified act that the Northcalled “hostile.”Tours to the North’s scenic Di-

amond Mountain by South Kore-ans were popular for about adecade until 2008, when theywere halted after a North Koreanguard fatally shot a South Ko-rean woman.The U.S. State Department has

long warned against travel toNorth Korea. After North’s re-cent nuclear test, Washington hasreportedly sought a ban ontourism and restrictions to keepNorth Korea’s flagship airline,Air Koryo, from flying into andout of airports abroad.

European Union poised torestrict passport-free travelBy DEREK GATOPOULOS

Associated Press

BRUSSELS (AP) — Euro-pean Union countries arepoised to restrict passport-freetravel by invoking an emer-gency rule to keep some bordercontrols for two more years be-cause of the migration crisisand Greece’s troubles in con-trolling its border, according toEU documents seen by The As-sociated Press.The switch would reverse a

decades-old trend of expandingpassport-free travel in Europe.Since 1995, people have been

able to cross borders amongSchengen Area member coun-tries without document checks.Each of the current 26 countriesin the Schengen Area is al-lowed to unilaterally put upborder controls for a maximumof six months, but that timelimit can be extended for up totwo years if a member is foundto be failing to protect its bor-ders.The documents show that EU

policy makers are preparing tomake unprecedented use of anemergency provision by declar-ing that Greece is failing to suf-ficiently protect it border. Some2,000 people are still arrivingdaily on Greek islands in smug-glers’ boats from Turkey, mostof them keen to move deeperinto Europe to wealthier coun-tries like Germany and Sweden.

A European official showedthe documents to the AP oncondition of anonymity be-cause the documents are confi-dential. Greek governmentofficials declined to commenton the content of documentsnot made public.In Brussels on Friday, EU na-

tions acknowledged that theoverall functioning of Schen-gen “is at serious risk” and saidGreece must make further ef-forts to address “serious defi-ciencies” within the next threemonths.European inspectors visited

Greek border sites in Novem-ber and gave Athens until earlyMay to upgrade the bordermanagement on its islands.Two draft assessments for-warded to the Greek govern-ment in early January indicatedAthens was making progress,although they noted “importantshortcomings” in handling mi-grant flows.But with asylum-seekers still

coming at a pace ten times thatof January 2015, Europeancountries are reluctant to dis-mantle their emergency bordercontrols. And if they keep themin place without authorization,EU officials fear the entire con-cept of the open-travel zonecould be brought down.A summary written by an of-

ficial in the EU’s Dutch presi-dency for a meeting of EUjustice and home affairs minis-

ters last month showed they de-cided that declaring Greece tohave failed in its upgrade was“the only way” for Europe toextend the time for borderchecks. The official said theyagreed to invoke the two-yearrule under Article 26 of theopen-travel agreement.“With no decrease in migra-

tory pressure and time runningout, our ministers agreed ... thatthe only way to continue be-yond the maximum time limitduring which these border con-trols may be carried out is toadopt a (European) Councilrecommendation under Article26 of the Schengen BorderCode,” the official wrote in anemail seen by the AP.The assessments of Greece

became notably more negative.In a Jan. 27 report seen by the

AP, marked “restricted,” theEU Commission cited “seriousdeficiencies in the carrying outof external border controls,”adding that “Greece is seriouslyneglecting its obligations.”In Friday’s statement too, the

EU told Greece “that given thescale of the situation, further ef-forts are needed.”The EU wants Athens to im-

prove screening and disem-barkation procedures for thosearriving by boat, and to in-crease its capacity to documentand house asylum-seekers andbuild detention facilities forthose facing deportation.

Tech finished with a 28.6-percentshooting performance on Saturdaynight at the Hooper Eblen Center,outscoring Jacksonville State 9-7 inthe overtime session to take a 51-49victory, its second in as many games.“It was a little bit better,” Tech head

coach Jim Davis said, with a laugh,“but the second half was more likewhat we are capable of playing. Yes,we got to the free-throw line a lot oftimes (18-for-25) and convertedthere well. “I am just a little bit disappointed in

how we handled the basketball. Wehad more turnovers (17) than we’vebeen having, but, at the same time,

COOKEVILLE — The Cavalierswill be sending six young men toWilliamson County on Thursday forthe individual wrestling state cham-pionship tournament after placing inthe top four of their respectiveweight classes at the Region 5-AAAtournament at Cookeville HighSchool on Saturday.The tournament started Friday

night and continued all day Saturdaybefore announcing the qualifiers for

the state tournament.And with such a young team, the

Cavs were able to send two sopho-mores and a fresh-man to the statetournament.“It’s phenome-

nal,” commentedCHS head coachScott Cook. “We

have several guys that, really, this istheir first year in the varsity lineupas sophomores, and they’re qualify-ing and going to the state tourna-ment. It shows they’ve been working

hard, getting better, and pushing toget tougher on the mat, and I thinkthat’s happening.”The Cavaliers were led by Hunter

Harcum (106), Justin Rogers (113),and Derrick Christensen (138), whoall made it to the championshipmatch but lost and settled for secondplace. Jesse Saunders (145) and Dyllan

Houser (170) fought back after toughlosses to reach consolation matchesbut came up short for fourth placefinishes, while Ben Bos (152) wasforced to forfeit his consolation

match due to a knee injury sustainedin the previous match.Christensen was the closest to first

place as his championship matchcame own to the wire.After receiving a bye in the first

round, pinning his opponent witheight seconds left in the quarterfinal,and winning a 5-4 decision in thesemifinal, Christensen was lookinggood in his championship match,winning by two points going into thefinal seconds. Unfortunately, with

By BUDDY PEARSONHERALD-CITIZEN Managing Editor

COOKEVILLE — The streak continues.Tennessee Tech improved to 13-0 at the Eblen

Center this season as the Golden Eagles pulled outa dramatic 72-70 victory over the JacksonvilleState Gamecocks on Saturday night.A pair of Torrance Rowe free throws with 0.7

COOKEVILLE — Just one week re-mains before the 2016 Tennessee Techbaseball season finally gets under way,and with the anticipation building tonew levels, the Ohio Valley Conference

Preseason All-OVCTeam announcementcouldn’t have come ata better time.

Redshirt junior JakeRowland was honoredwith a selection as anoutfielder to the Pre-

season All-OVC Team, despite missingthe 2015 campaign due to season-endinginjury suffered in the preseason.“It speaks for volumes for him as a player

that missed last year,” head coach MattBragga said. “That just shows the respecthe’s garnered from across the league withwhat he’s capable of and what he’s done.”As a redshirt sophomore (Rowland sat

out the 2013 season due to NCAA rulesafter transferring from the University ofTennessee), the Decatur, Tenn. nativemade an instant impact in one of the bestseasons in program history. The out-fielder helped lead Tech to tying the pro-gram record of 40 wins set the season

prior, batting .328 with 78 hits, 11 dou-bles, six home runs, 46 RBI and team-high eight stolen bases. He also slugged.450 and finished the year with a .399 onbase percentage.

“Jake is deserving of that honor, nodoubt,” Bragga added. “Two years ago,he had a one whale of a season withnearly 50 RBI. He’s just a great baseballplayer and was fantastic in center fieldfor us in 2014. He’s going to bat in themiddle of our lineup this season andhe’ll probably be out in center again.

The great thing is, he’s only a junior andwe can’t wait to see how he steps backonto the diamond this year.Also included in the OVC’s preseason

release, was the predicted order of finishvoted on by the league’s head coachesand SIDs. The Golden Eagle squadranked sixth among the 11 teams in theleague, garnering one first-place vote.“All we can do is control ourselves get-

ting ready for the season,” Bragga said.“I know what this program’s accom-plished and I know what we’re capableof. Quite honestly, whether we’re pre-season number one, preseason 11 orwhatever it may be, all that matters iswhere this program is at in 108 days.That’s it.”

The Golden Eagles finished the 2015campaign at 26-29 overall, including a16-14 mark in OVC play, making theirfourth straight appearance in the OVCTournament in Jackson, Tenn, all despitewhat could be deemed an injury-plaguedseason. A minimum of 17 playersmissed time during the year, includingRowland who missed the entire season.Prior to the 2015 season, Tech had

notched back-to-back 40-win campaignsand an OVC regular season champi-onship in the 2013 season.“We can’t pick where we’re selected in

the preseason poll,” Bragga explained.“What I do know is that this is a programthat has one a lot of championships. Thisis a program that has been very consistent

over time in this league. This is an incred-ibly solid program and has been amongthe tops in the league for a long time.“Our job is to take care of what we can

control. And what we can control iswhere this program is at in 108 days. Ilove this team and I believe it has achance to have a special year. It’s a greatgroup of young men that’s been workingand fighting to get better every day.”Tech will kick off the 2016 season on

Friday, Feb. 19 in a 3 p.m. CST tiltagainst Western Illinois. The contest willfeature free admission (as all Tech base-ball game do) and take place at BushStadium at the Averitt Express BaseballComplex. The Golden Eagles will wrapup the series against Western Illinoiswith a 2 p.m. contest on Saturday and 1p.m. match-up on Sunday.The 68th season of OVC baseball will

get underway on Friday, Feb. 19 withthe first weekend of league play beingheld March 11-13. The season will cul-minate with the 2016 OVC Champi-onship which will be held for theseventh year in a row at The Ballpark atJackson in Jackson, Tennessee.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — A home run in the thirdinning and 11 strikeouts from Danielle Liberatoreagainst Georgia Southern (0-2) made for a success-

ful season opener for the Ten-nessee Tech softball team. TheGolden Eagles ended day one ofMississippi State’s Bulldog Clas-sic with the 1-1 split, later in theday falling to Houston 4-0.

In game one of the day, theGolden Eagles (1-1) topped Geor-gia Southern 3-2. Tech came outwith a bang in the first inning

with Jessie Lowery taking a base on balls followedby a double by Sabrie Neeb to knock in Loweryand put Tech on the board. Neeb then advanced tothird on a wild pitch and Olivia Bennett got thewalk to bring Alyssa Richards up to bat. Richardshit a sacrifice fly to drive in Neeb and give Techthe 2-0 lead. Later with two down in the third, sophomore

Bayli Cruse came up to the plate to launch a solohomerun to left center and score what would endup being the deciding run of the game. The GoldenEagles now holding the 3-0 lead gave Tech thecushion it needed to secure a victory.

Liberatore (1-0) had a strong performance on themound not allowing a runner past second untilGeorgia Southern knocked in its first run of thegame in the fifth inning when the Eagles’ LydiaWitkowski hit a single to center field allowingIndia Davis to score and advancing a runner to sec-ond with two down. Liberatore got the Golden Ea-gles out of a tight spot striking out the next batterand securing the 3-1 Tech lead at the end of the topof the fifth.

Georgia Southern’s second run came in the sev-enth inning when the Eagles’ Alesha Mann openedwith a solo homerun to right center. However, Techheld a strong defense and secured their 3-2 victoryover Georgia Southern (0-2) with Liberatore strik-ing out 11 and allowing only two walks and oneearned run in the contest.

The Golden Eagles’ second game was not asbright as the first. A passed ball in the first inninggave Houston the 1-0 lead early on. The Cougars(1-0) added another run in the second and smackedin two more in the third when Houston’s MayaThomas hit a triple to right center to bring in a runand Brooke Vannoy hit a single to left field to hitin Thomas, giving the Cougars the 4-0 lead by theend of the third.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — CarterHutton doesn’t get to be in thenet that often but he made themost of his opportunity.The Predators backup goal-

tender, playing in just his ninthgame inplace ofs t a r t e rP e k k aR i n n e ,made 22saves and

Calle Jarnkrok scored twice tolead Nashville to a 5-0 win overthe Florida Panthers on Saturdaynight.“Whenever they give me starts,

I?play,” said Hutton, who ran hisrecord to 6-2-1 and picked up hissecond shutout. “Anything I?cando to help our team win. I?under-stand my role. At the same time,just any way I can contribute iswhat I?try to do.”Miikka Salomaki, James Neal

and Shea Weber also scored forNashville.The worst moment for Hutton

was when he cleared the puck at

the end of the second period andit struck a young female fan.

“Obviously you feel bad,” hesaid. “At first, I didn’t even real-ize. All I’m trying to do is makesure I?get glass on it so it’s not apenalty and it hits a little kid.”

He gave one of his sticks to thegirl.

“I’m sure at that point, theyprobably wanted to break thestick. It was the least I could do.”

Hutton, who last played in a 2-1 win over Calgary on Jan. 27,was at his best when he made astop on Jonathan Huberdeau’sshot in tight off a pass from BrentRegner on a two-on-one in thesecond.

“No question, he’s really lookedgood in there,” said Nashvillecoach Peter Laviolette. “He’sdone a good job.”

Florida dropped the first twogames of its six-game homes-tand, which it continues Mondayagainst Pittsburgh.

Goaltender Roberto Luongomade 23 saves in his secondstraight loss. Both teams werecoming off losses Friday night.

Mike Ribeiro and Roman Josihad two assists each, and Neal,

Austin Watson, Anthony Bitetto,Ryan Johansen and Roman Josihad one each.“We had a lot of problems,”

said Florida coach Gerard Gal-lant, who received a game mis-conduct late in the game and hadto leave the bench. “We weren’ttoo good at all tonight. We tookit on the chin and didn’t playwell.”The game started off poorly

again for Luongo, just like thenight before against St. Louiswhen he was replaced. However,his troubles Saturday in partcame from poor defensive cover-age and fine shooting byNashville.Jarnkrok scored his 10th goal

after taking a pass from Neal,slicing through the right circleand beating Luongo high glove at6:18 of the first period. He laterscored short-handed on a tap-inat 13:28.“It was a big win for us with a

real tough loss yesterday againstTampa Bay. We wanted to endthe road trip the right way,” saidJarnkrok, who also had a two-goal game against Winnipeg onNov. 14.

Upperman’s Akira Levy was named the District 8-AA girlsMost Valuable Player on Friday afternoon when the postsea-son awards were announced.


COOKEVILLE — The target is firmly attached tothe backs of the Upperman jerseys as the District 8-AA teams converge on Cookeville and TennesseeTech this week for the District 8-AA postseasontournament.As the event opens on Tuesday at the Hooper Eblen

Center, the Bees and Lady Bees have already clincheda berth into the Region 4-AA tournament, by virtueof byes all the way into the tournament semifinals.But the question is who will be the other three

teams on the girls and boys sides?There’s also the question of whether anyone could

knock Upperman off the top spot, and possibly evensend them on the road as the Region 4-AA tourna-ment begins.All is not out of the realm of possibility as the dis-

trict round starts, a fact that nearly every coach inthe highly-contested field in 8-AA knows.Shocks and surprises have been known to happen

when it comes to tournament time.With the Upperman girls completing a clean sweep

of the district in the regular season, winning all 14of its matchups to contribute to a 27-2 overallrecord, there’s no question the Lady Bees have po-tentially the most solid lineup with overall MVP andClass AA Miss Basketball finalist Akira Levy, first-teamer Gracie Maynord and defensive MVP AbbyGreenwood leading the charge.But Livingston Academy did keep it a close contest

on Thursday night against the Lady Bees as first-teamers Keelie Lamb and Mikala Brown had strongoutings and certainly making Upperman look a bitless invincible.That said, LA still has to make it past the winner

of the play-in game betweeen Central Magnet andMacon County on Tuesday night.However, UHS and LA couldn’t see each other

until the girls’ final on Monday, Feb. 22, meaningboth teams would have already earned a home berthby that point.Still, there’s an interesting set of games on Friday

as Smith County takes on Cannon County and YorkInstitute takes on DeKalb County.A win and that team moves on to the next tourna-

ment, a loss and their season is over.The winner of York Institute and DeKalb County

will be Upperman’s first foe on Saturday.The UHS boys also have a week to prepare as well,

earning the top seed on Thursday with their win overLivingston Academy.

Upperman will take on the winner of a huge Fridaynight matchup between those same Wildcats andYork Institute — the loser seeing its season done.

The Dragons were victorious 68-54 in Jamestownon Jan. 12, while the Wildcats earned a 76-73 winin Livingston on Feb. 5.

But the battle between York’s Colton Blevins, aTennessee Tech signee and 8-AA defensive MVP,against the talented all-district trio of Carter Hayes,Xander Miller and Dylan Linder could be a very in-teresting one.

However, there is no true clear favorite in the boysbracket as there was nearly a four-way tie for first,depending on how Thursday night’s games went.

Upperman won, eking out the tiebreaker overSmith County for the top seed, sending MaconCounty and Livingston Academy to the third- andfourth-seeds respectively.

But any one of those four teams could be raisingthe hardware after the championship game.

Smith County claimed a pair of first-team all-dis-trict selections in Camron Huff and Jaylon Shepper-son, while Macon County has a fantastic duo in SethCarlisle and Michael Ashburn that can create somedifficult matchups for anyone in the tournament field.

Smith County will face the winner of CannonCounty and DeKalb County from Tuesday’s play-ingame. The Owls’ contest will be on Thursday.

Friday’s matchups include Macon County againsta much-improved Central Magnet squad and theLivingston Academy-York Institute showdown.

that’s the best defensive basketballteam in our league. They will flat-outguard you. But I am pretty tickledwith how we defended.” Davis continued, “So it was a good

team victory. We didn’t play our A-game, but we played well enough towin. That’s what matters. If we cando that for three more games, thenwe’ll be tickled to death.”The Golden Eagles (9-17) improved

to 5-8 in the Ohio Valley Conferencestandings and back into tournamentcontention in a tie for eighth placewith Jacksonville State and Ten-nessee State as Tech has three gamesremaining in the OVC schedule.Tech certainly didn’t start off well,

though. The Golden Eagles shot 16percent from the field in the first half,a weak 4-for-25 from the floor. Techmade up for it with a 7-for-8 effortfrom the charity stripe and took a 16-14 lead into the locker room at half-time — the total was Tech’s secondfewest points in the first half this sea-son.But Jacksonville State started to

catch on in the third quarter, outscor-ing Tech 17-8 and led by 10 pointsearly on in the fourth quarter.“We fell down by 10, then about

that time Sam (Howard) hurt herknee and had to come out,” Davissaid. “We just kept playing and keptchipping. I can’t remember whomade the baskets in there, but we gotit done and cut it back. We got intothe bonus and made some freethrows.”Then Mariah Dean helped key a

major comeback for the Golden Ea-gles, nearly picking up a triple-dou-ble in the process with 10 points, 16rebounds and five blocks.“I can’t be more pleased with her,”

Davis said. “I told her that’s the bestgame she’s played as a Golden Eagleby far. She’s not in physical conditionenough, I’m ashamed to say, becauseof coming off of her injury to playthat many minutes (32), but she justgutted it out. I’m so proud of her. Shewent after that basketball like shewanted it. She wanted to win thatbasketball game and it was pretty ob-vious.”The block number is significant as

it helped Tech set a single-gamerecord with 13 blocks.

With the game tied at 42 going intoovertime, Tech took a quick advan-tage, but Jacksonville State took a 47-46 lead with 1:05 left.

Dean missed a pair of free throws,but Tech was able to get the ball backand Samaria Howard hit a jumperwith 31.6 seconds left to put Techback on top, 48-47.

JSU missed a jumper on the otherend of the court and immediatelyfouled Dean, who didn’t miss the sec-ond time, nailing both free throws tomake it a 50-47 lead.

The Gamecocks wasted no time toput up a 3-point shot with 18 secondsleft, missing the attempt, thenHoward was fouled, splitting the twofree throws to make it a 51-47 Techlead.

Tyler Phelion hit another quicklayup with just over five seconds leftto make it 51-49, and HannahGoolsby was fouled with 4.7 secondsremaining.

Goolsby missed both shots, giving

JSU one last attempt. Briana Bensonlofted a shot outside the arc as timeexpired, but it bounced off the topcorner of the backboard, securing theGolden Eagle victory.“We needed that one,” Davis said.

“We needed to win a close one. Wehave had so many chances, so I wasjust tickled to death that we were ableto win a close one.”Howard led Tech with 25 points, in-

cluding 10-for-13 at the free-throwline.Benson led Jacksonville State (10-

15, 5-8 OVC) with 17 points, whilePhelion had 12 points.Up next for the Golden Eagles is a

midweek contest against MoreheadState on Wednesday at the HooperEblen Center. Tip-off is scheduled for6 p.m.“They have two post players who

can just fly,” Davis said. “They ranby us and we gave up five or sixlayups to them in defensive transi-tion. We have to cut that out. If wedefend like we did (Saturday), I likeour chances.”

tensen commented. “It makes me feel re-ally good about myself, how good of awrestler I am, and how much I’ve pro-gressed and come along through theyears of wrestling. But coming to thatone second, I guess you could say it’sheartbreaking, but it happens.”Harcum had some tough battles after he

pinned his opponent in the first period ofhis first match. Harcum’s second matchdragged on as they wrestled out ofbounds many times, but he was able topull out a narrow 1-0 decision win. Aftethat, Harcum won a 3-1 decision in thesemifinal. However, Harcum’s dayended when he was pinned in the thirdperiord of his championship match.Rogers had a more dominating trip to

Heforfeited his final match as a precautionto make sure he would be able to wrestleat the state tournament.Saunders won his first match by a

major decision of 16-8, but he was takendown in the second period of his quarter-final match, sending him to the consola-tion rounds. That did not deter Saundersas he won his next three matches by wayof pinfall, a 4-1 decision and a 3-2 deci-sion. The third place match went the dis-tance, but Saunders ended up on theshort end of a close 6-4 decision forfourth place.Cookeville’s final medalist, Houser, re-

Unfortu-nately, Talbott did not start off so well ashe received a bye in the first round, buthe fell in the first period his first actualmatch in the quarterfinals. Talbott foughthard for a first period pin and a 9-6 deci-sion, but his day was cut short as he waspinned in the second period of the con-solation semifinal.Allen Richardson (285) received a bye

bye in the first round but lost an 8-7 de-cision in his quarterfinal match. Harring-ton’s consolation match came down tothe wire as he tied it up at eight in thewaning moments of the match to send itinto overtime. Unfortunately, Harring-ton’s opponent was the first to scorewith a takedown and took the suddenvictory.“I’m extremely pleased with our per-

formance this weekend,” Cook said.“The guys have been working hard. In alot of matches, we came out and beatguys that have beaten us earlier in theseason. We got into some tense situationstowards the end of the tournament, andwe didn’t quite pull those out. But we’restill a young, fairly inexperienced, team,and those tense moments are a part ofgrowing in the sport and maturing as anathlete.”“The potential is definitely there for the

future, and I’m very excited. I’m heart-broken for the guys that didn’t qualify.It’s sad to end your season that way, butthe effort was there, the fight was there,and those guys have nothing to beashamed of. They layed it on the line thisweekend and fought hard. I’m proud ofevery one of them.”

week to get ready for afirst-place rematch withBelmont in Nashville be-fore trying to close out theregular season undefeatedat home by hosting More-head State on Feb. 25 andEastern Kentucky on Feb.27.“The way this crowd has

been, this is a fun place toplay,” said Ramsey. “Wehave two more games here.”“None of these games are

going to be easy. I expectthem all to be tough. Theyshould expect them all tobe tough,” said Payne. “Wehave to take a couple ofdays off. We are stale,mentally. We are going totake a couple of days offand then have a couple ofgood practices on Tuesdayand Wednesday.”
