Career technical educationvital for county’s future / A6

By NICOLE SMITHDaily Mountain Eagle

Education leaders across thestate are concerned that careertechnical education could bevictimized as the result of acontroversial proposal by theAlabama State Department ofEducation superintendent.

Last Friday, an email circu-lated from Alabama Associa-tion for Career TechnicalEducation Executive DirectorAnn Gilmore, who informededucation officials that the of-fice of career and technical ed-ucation and workforcedevelopment in Alabamawould be abolished. It hassince been reported, however,that the career tech office willnot be removed, but rather beplaced under the office of aca-demic affairs for the state, asrecommended by Superintend-ent Michael Sentance, who hasbeen the state department ofeducation superintendentsince September.

Education leaders in WalkerCounty have mixed reactionsabout the reorganization of thestate’s career tech office, but allagree a lack of communicationhas resulted in confusion as tothe future of career technicaleducation (CTE) in the state.

“There seems to be a break-down of the communicationprocess between the state su-perintendent and the stateboard of education,” WalkerCounty Schools Superintend-ent Dr. Jason Adkins said. “Itseems that career tech is goingto be placed back under thecurriculum sphere of influ-ence.”

Walker County Center ofTechnology Director Chris Mc-Cullar said reorganizing thestate career tech office will

negatively impact the progressthat has been made in career

MONTGOMERY (AP) — The im-peachment investigation of Gov.Robert Bentley will remain paused—at least for now — but only aftersome House members voiced frustra-tion at the slow pace of the probe.

The House Judiciary Committeemet Tuesday to discuss the status ofthe probe, which was officially pausedin November at the request of thethen-Attorney General Luther

Strange. However, the holding pat-tern did not sit well with some com-mittee members who said thecommittee should hurry up and makea decision on whether the embattledgovernor committed any impeachableoffenses.

“I think we need to move forward.Let’s move the state of Alabama pastthis,” Rep. Alan Farley, R-McCalla,said.

WikiLeaks: CIA hastargeted everydaygadgets for snooping

NEW YORK (AP) — Maybe the CIA is spying on youthrough your television set after all.

Documents released by WikiLeaks allege a CIA sur-veillance program that targets everyday gadgets rang-ing from smart TVs to smartphones to cars. Suchsnooping, WikiLeaks said, could turn some of these de-vices into recorders that could snoop on everyday con-versations — and could also circumvent data-scrambling encryption on communications apps such asFacebook’s WhatsApp.

The organization is, for now, withholding details onthe specific hacks used “until a consensus emerges” onthe nature of the CIA’s program and how the methodsshould be “analyzed, disarmed and published.” But Wik-iLeaks — a nonprofit that routinely publishes confiden-tial documents, frequently from government sources —claims that the data and documents it obtained reveala broad program to bypass security measures on every-day products.

If true, the disclosure could spark new privacy ten-sions between the government and the technology in-dustry. Just last year, the two sides feuded over theFBI’s calls for Apple to rewrite its operating system sothat agents could break into the locked iPhone used byone of the San Bernardino attackers. The FBI ulti-mately broke into the phone with the help of an outsideparty; the agency has neither disclosed the party northe nature of the vulnerability, preventing Apple fromfixing it.

According to WikiLeaks, much of the CIA programcentered on dozens of vulnerabilities it discovered butdidn’t disclose to the gadget makers. Common practicecalls for government agencies to disclose such flaws tocompanies privately, so that they could fix them.

Instead, WikiLeaks claims, the CIA held on to theknowledge in order to conduct a variety of attacks. As aresult, tech companies such as Apple, Google and Mi-crosoft haven’t been able to make the necessary fixes.

“Serious vulnerabilities not disclosed to the manufac-turers places huge swathes of the population and criti-cal infrastructure at risk to foreign intelligence or cybercriminals who independently discover or hear rumorsof the vulnerability,” WikiLeaks wrote in a press release.“If the CIA can discover such vulnerabilities so can oth-ers.”

WikiLeaks claims the hacks allowed the CIA to collectaudio and other messages from data-scrambling com-munication apps such as WhatsApp, Signal, Telegramand Confide by intercepting data before it is encryptedor after it’s decoded. WikiLeaks says the CIA had sepa-rate teams looking for vulnerabilities in iPhones andAndroid phones and also targeted tablets such as iPads.According to WikiLeaks, the vulnerabilities were discov-ered by the CIA itself or obtained from other govern-ment agencies and cyberweapon contractors.

WikiLeaks also claims that the CIA worked with U.K.intelligence officials to turn microphones in Samsungsmart TVs into listening devices. The microphones arenormally there for viewers to make voice commands,such as requests for movie recommendations. If the TVis off, there’s no listening being done.

But WikiLeaks claims that a CIA hack makes the tar-get TV appear to be off when it’s actually on — and lis-tening. WikiLeaks says the audio goes to a covert CIAserver rather than a party authorized by Samsung. Insuch cases, audio isn’t limited to TV commands butcould include everyday conversations

Other tools in the CIA’s arsenal target PCs runningMicrosoft’s Windows system, according to WikiLeaks.

HUTCHINSON, Kan.(AP) — Emergency crewsstruggled Tuesday to con-tain wildfires that havescorched hundreds ofsquare miles of land infour states, killing six peo-ple and forcing thousandsof others to flee theirhomes ahead of the wind-whipped flames.

Fires burned in parts ofKansas, Oklahoma, Texasand Colorado, and warn-ings that conditions wereripe were issued for Iowa,Missouri and Nebraska,even after powerful thun-derstorms moved throughthe middle of the countryovernight, spawningdozens of suspected torna-does, according to the Na-tional Weather Service.

Kansas wildfires haveburned about 625 squaremiles of land and killedone person. The KansasHighway Patrol said CoreyHolt, of Oklahoma City,died Monday when histractor-trailer jackknifedas he tried to back up be-cause of poor visibility onsouthern Kansas highway,and he succumbed tosmoke after getting out ofhis vehicle. Two SUVscrashed into the truck, in-juring six people who weretaken to hospitals, statetrooper Michael Racy said.

The vast majority of thestate’s burned land is inClark County, where 30structures were damaged,said Allison Kuhns, aspokeswoman for thecounty’s emergency man-agement office. About halfof those structures arenear the small city of En-glewood, which was one oftwo communities evacu-ated. Kuhns said therealso have been significantcattle losses and that en-tire ranches were en-

gulfed.That fire originated

across the state border inOklahoma, where itburned an estimated 390square miles in BeaverCounty. Officials say a sep-arate fire has scorchedmore than 155 squaremiles of land in neighbor-ing Harper County andtaken the life of a womanwho had a heart attackwhile trying to keep her

farm near Buffalo fromburning.

The largest evacuationselsewhere were in RenoCounty, Kansas, where10,000 to 12,000 peoplevoluntarily left their

homes Monday night, saidKatie Horner, a spokes-woman for the state’s De-partment of EmergencyManagement. She said 66people from the area werein shelters Tuesday inHutchinson, 40 milesnorthwest of Wichita.

Among them was Shel-ley Wilson, who fled Mon-day with her disabled sonand pets from a blaze thatwas encircling her farmoutside of Hutchinson.

Train hits charter bus, killing 4;rescuers cut through wreckage

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — A freighttrain smashed into a charter bus ina coastal Mississippi city on Tues-day, pushing the bus 300 feet downthe tracks and leaving at least fourpeople dead, authorities said.

Rescuers spent more than anhour removing passengers, cuttingthrough the bus’s heavily damagedframe to extract the last two.

The bus could be seen straddlingthe tracks, with a CSX Transporta-tion locomotive pushed up againstits left side.

The bus was apparently stoppedon the tracks when the 52-car train,pulled by three locomotives,slammed into it, said Biloxi PoliceChief John Miller.

“We’re not sure why,” Miller said.“We don’t know if there were me-chanical issues or what was takingplace.”

Miller said passengers on theEcho Transportation bus had comefrom Austin, Texas, carrying pas-sengers to one of Biloxi’s eight casi-nos. Ameet Patel, senior vicepresident of regional operations forPenn National Gaming, owner ofHollywood Gulf Coast Casino in BaySt. Louis and Boomtown BiloxiCasino, said the bus was travelingfrom the Hollywood casino to theBoomtown casino at the time of thecrash.

“It’s a terrible tragedy,” Millersaid. “I know there’s a lot of families

that are going to be impacted here.”There were conflicting reports of

the number killed in the crash. Officials initially said four people

died and then revised it down tothree. But Vincent Creel, aspokesman for the city of Biloxi,later said after consulting with thecoroner’s office that four were killed.

Creel emphasized it’s a “very fluidsituation.” “Any time you have amajor incident like this, the infor-mation can change,” he said.

The names of the dead have notbeen released.

Michelle Crowley of the Biloxi firedepartment said 40 people were in-jured; of those, seven were in criticalcondition.

Emergency personnel assist injured passengers after their charter bus collided with a train in Biloxi,Miss., Tuesday. Biloxi city spokesman Vincent Creel says emergency responders were still removinginjured people from the bus more than 30 minutes after the crash.

Missouri stormsdamage nearly 500homes, businesses

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A severe storm systempummeled parts of the Midwest overnight with tor-nadoes, huge hailstones and powerful winds, damag-ing nearly 500 buildings and injuring a dozen peoplein one Missouri city.

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla-homa, received reports of more than 30 tornadoes inKansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois late Monday andearly Tuesday. Powerful winds extended as far southas the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, where a post of-fice and church were damaged, and as far north asWisconsin, where trees were downed.

In Oak Grove, Missouri, 483 homes sustained sometype of damage, along with 10 to 12 commercial build-ings, said Sni Valley Fire Protection District ChiefCarl Scarborough. Twelve people were treated for in-juries by emergency responders on Monday, and threewere taken to hospitals with injuries that weren’t life-threatening, he said.

Oak Grove Mayor Jeremy Martin praised the workof emergency crews and said it was remarkable therewere no deaths.

“It looks like the injuries are minimal so, based onsome of the damage I’ve seen, it’s rather amazing,”Martin said in a Tuesday morning press conference.

The Kansas City area sustained widespread dam-age, and crews planned to survey and assess the dam-age early Tuesday.

Dan Hawblitzel, a National Weather Service mete-orologist based in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, said therewere corridors of significant damage in Oak Grove,Smithville north of Kansas City and the Kansas sub-urbs of Leawood and Olathe. Hawblitzel said therewere no immediate reports of fatalities from thestorms.

“It played out as we expected — several tornadoesand a lot of wind damage,” Hawblitzel said. “It’s cer-tainly sad to see and hear about the homes de-stroyed.”

The late-winter storms spawned warnings from theSouthern Plains to the Upper Midwest. Baseball-sized hail was reported in parts of Missouri, whilehurricane-force winds were reported in parts of Iowa.

Goode (Jewish), John P.Washington (RomanCatholic) and Clark V Pol-ing (Dutch Reformed) —died when the U.S. ArmyTransport (USAT) Dorch-ester sank on Feb. 3, 1943,during World War II. Onthat fateful voyage, 672 ofthe original 902 men onboard lost their lives.

Many of those who sur-vived the blast from thetorpedo attack died fromhypothermia due to the34-degree water and theair temperature of 36 de-grees.

The four chaplainsserved aboard the Dorch-ester, a converted cruiseship originally built in1926. It was a liner de-signed for 314 passengersand 90 crew refitted forthe Army to carry slightlymore than 900 passengersand crew

Dorchester left NewYork on Jan. 23, 1943, enroute to Greenland, carry-ing the four chaplains andother military and civilianpersonnel as part of a con-voy of three ships. Theship’s captain had beenalerted that Coast Guardsonar had detected a sub-marine.

German U-boats weremonitoring sea lanes andhad attacked and sunkships earlier during thewar. Therefore, the menhad been ordered to sleepin their clothing and keeptheir life jackets on. How-ever, many deep inside theship did not heed the orderdue to heat from the ship’sengines; others were toouncomfortable in the lifejackets. The gravity of theship being in harm’s waywas confirmed when in theearly morning hours onFeb. 3, 1943, at 12:55 a.m.,the vessel was torpedoedby the German submarine

U-223 of Newfoundland. The torpedo’s fatal blow

knocked out the Dorch-ester’s electrical system,leaving the ship dark.Panic set in among themen on board, manytrapped below decks. Thechaplains sought to calmthe men and organize anorderly evacuation of theship while helping get thewounded men to safety. Aslife jackets were passedout, the supply was notsufficient enough for allthe men to get one.

As a result, the chap-lains removed their ownlife jackets and gave themto others. They continuedto help as many men asthey could into lifeboats,and then linked arms. Say-ing prayers and singinghymns, they went downwith the ship. It had beenless than 20 minutes fromthe time the Dorchestergot hit until the shipslipped from view.

One survivor, GradyClark, said, “As I swanaway from the ship, Ilooked back. The flareshad lighted everything.The bow came up high andshe slid under. The lastthing I saw, the FourChaplains were up therepraying for the safety ofthe men. They had doneeverything they could. Idid not see them again.They themselves did nothave a chance without

their life jackets.”On July 14, 1960,

through Public Law 86-656 of the 86th Congress,the Four Chaplains’Medal, was approved. Thiswas a special medal in-tended to have the sameweight and importance asthe Medal of Honor. Themedals were presentedposthumously to the nextof kin of each of the fourchaplains by Secretary ofthe Army Wilber M.Brucker at Ft. Myer, Va.,on Jan. 18, 1961.

In 1988, Feb. 3 was es-tablished by a unanimousact of Congress as an an-nual “Four ChaplainsDay.” Some state or city of-ficials commemorate theday with official proclama-tions, sometimes includingthe order that flags fly athalf-mast in memory ofthe fallen chaplains.

“Valor is a gift,” poetCarl Sandburg once said.“Those having it neverknow for sure whetherthey have it until the testcomes.”

That night, Rev. Fox,Rabbi Goode, Rev. Polingand Father Washingtonpassed life’s ultimate test.In doing so, they becamean enduring example ofextraordinary faith,courage, and selflessnessthat transcended religiousaffiliation and demon-strated unfathomablebrotherly love.

tech education over the past severalyears.

Officials have also been discour-aged to learn that Alabama DeputySuperintendent Dr. Philip Clevelandhas resigned his position as a resultof the proposed changes to careertech.

“In the past, CTE has been neg-lected. Due to the fact that only 20percent of Alabama jobs require abachelor’s degree or higher, neglect-ing career tech education is equiva-lent to neglecting 80 percent ofAlabama’s future workforce,” Mc-Cullar said. “We have been movingforward at an accelerated pace in re-cent years that proves we are seriousabout getting students ready forhigh-wage, high-demand careers. Dr.Cleveland is the educational leaderthat has made this happen. Careerand technical education is now a crit-ical component of the overall educa-tion of students. Reorganizing thedepartment of education and puttingCTE under education curriculumwill not only marginalize career andtechnical education again, but it willset back all the hard work that hasbeen accomplished.”

Margie Bookout, the president ofthe Alabama Association of Careerand Technical Education and busi-ness instructor at WCCT, said, ”Wehave always been told that Alabamais the leader in CTE. I am puzzled asto why they want to change Alabamacareer tech education to what otherstates are doing. ... They say thechanges being made were justchanges in the organizational chart.If that is all they are changing, whybother? I think we have earned ourown spot on the organizationalchart.”

Adkins and Jasper City Schools

Superintendent Dr. Ann Jacksonsaid they believe Walker County’s ca-reer tech programs are strong, andthey are confident the success ofthose programs will continue.

“Somebody that all the superin-tendents do respect is Dr. Dee Fowler(chief of staff for the Alabama StateDepartment of Education), somebodythat Mr. Sentance brought in to bethe voice for locals superintendents,”Adkins said. “Mr. Fowler sent out anemail that spoke specifically to su-perintendents and assured themthat nothing was being done to ca-reer tech long-term.”

Adkins said that, according toFowler, PARCA (Public Affairs Re-search Council of Alabama) sug-gested the reorganization to placeCTE under the academic affairs de-

partment.“We do not anticipate a lot of

changes at the local level with ourcareer tech program. We will con-tinue to strengthen and grow ourhigh school programs,” Jackson said.“Dr. Cleveland has made a tremen-dous impact on career tech educationin Alabama and everyone is upsetthat he is leaving. Not having him atthe helm of the department is off-set-ting, and we are all very saddened tobe losing him.”

McCullar said he has continued tosee the county’s career tech programgrow. Between Walker County andJasper City Schools, he said 750 stu-dents attend WCCT each day to par-ticipate in one of their 13 differentprograms.

“We feel like we have an outstand-ing center here at the Walker CountyCenter of Technology, with an out-standing staff,” Adkins said. “Wewant people to understand that theyneed to remove the stigma fromthese fields of trade where a studentcan probably come out and not spend$100,000 getting a four-year degreeand still be making more moneythan somebody that might have paidthat price to go to college and had alot of difficulty finding a job in ourarea.”

With a determination to see thecounty’s career tech program flour-ish, McCullar said he hopes the CTEreorganization won’t hinder theprogress that has been made. Hesaid the state department of educa-tion has scheduled a meeting todayto discuss the concerns educatorshave regarding the recent proposal.

“We’re just moving forward so fastright now. I hate to see somethingput in our path to make us stumble,”McCullar said.

WEST PALM BEACH,Fla. (AP) — Casey An-thony knows that much ofthe world believes shekilled her 2-year-olddaughter, despite her ac-quittal. But nearly nineyears later, she insists shedoesn’t know how the lasthours of Caylee’s life un-folded.

“Caylee would be 12right now. And would be atotal badass,” she told TheAssociated Press in one ofa series of exclusive inter-views. “I’d like to thinkshe’d be listening to classicrock, playing sports” andputting up with no non-sense.

But discussing Caylee’slast moments, the 30-year-old Anthony spoke in halt-ing, sober tones: “I’m stillnot even certain as I standhere today about whathappened,” she said.

“Based off what was inthe media” — the story of awoman who could not ac-count for a month in whichher child was missing,whose defense involved anaccidental drowning forwhich there was no eyewit-ness testimony — “I under-stand the reasons peoplefeel about me. I under-stand why people have theopinions that they do.”

This was the first timeAnthony spoke to a newsmedia outlet about herdaughter’s death or heryears since the trial. Herresponses were at turns re-vealing, bizarre and oftencontradictory, and they ul-timately raised more ques-tions than answers aboutthe case that has capti-vated the nation.

It’s been almost nineyears since Caylee wentmissing, and six since thecircus-like Orlando trialthat ended in her mother’sacquittal. The trial wascarried live on cable net-works and was the focus ofdaily commentaries byHLN’s Nancy Grace, whocalled her “the most hatedmom in America,” and, de-risively, “tot mom.”

Anthony views herself assomething of an Alice inWonderland, with the pub-lic as the Red Queen.

“The queen is proclaim-ing: ‘No, no, sentence first,verdict afterward,’” shesays. “I sense and feel tothis day that is a directparallel to what I lived. Mysentence was doled outlong before there was averdict. Sentence first, ver-dict afterward. Peoplefound me guilty long beforeI had my day in court.”

The child was suppos-edly last seen on June 16,2008; she was first re-ported missing, by CaseyAnthony’s mother, on July15. A day later, Casey An-thony was arrested oncharges of child neglect.She told police that Cayleehad disappeared with ababy sitter.

A utility worker workingin a wooded area near theAnthony home on Dec. 11found skeletal remainsthat were later determinedto be Caylee’s. Expertswould testify that air sam-ples indicated that decay-ing human remains hadbeen present in Casey An-thony’s trunk.

In the end, prosecutorsproved Casey Anthony wasa liar, but convinced the

jury of little else. The gov-ernment failed to establishhow Caylee died, and theycouldn’t find her mother’sDNA on the duct tape theysaid was used to suffocateher. After a trial of a monthand a half, the jury tookless than 11 hours to findAnthony not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravatedmanslaughter and aggra-vated child abuse.

Still, the Florida Depart-ment of Children and Fam-ilies concluded thatAnthony was responsiblefor her daughter’s deathbecause her “actions or thelack of actions ... ulti-mately resulted or con-tributed in the death of thechild.” And just this month,former Circuit JudgeBelvin Perry Jr., whopresided at the trial, theo-rized that Anthony mayhave killed Caylee acciden-tally when she was usingchloroform to calm her.

She was convicted of fourcounts of lying to police(though two counts werelater dropped), and servedabout three years in prisonwhile awaiting trial. Athousand people werethere to see her released.

She admits she lied topolice: about being em-ployed at Universal Stu-dios; about leaving Cayleewith a baby sitter; abouttelling two people, both ofthem imaginary, thatCaylee was missing; aboutreceiving a phone call fromCaylee the day before shewas reported missing.

“Even if I would’ve toldthem everything that I toldto the psychologist, I hateto say this but I firmly be-lieve I would have been inthe same place. Becausecops believe other cops.Cops tend to victimize thevictims. I understand now... I see why I was treatedthe way I was even had Ibeen completely truthful.”

She added: “Cops lie topeople every day. I’m just

one of the unfortunate id-iots who admitted theylied.”

She paused.“My dad was a cop, you

can read into that whatyou want to.”

At the trial, lead defenseattorney Jose Baez sug-gested that the little girldrowned and that CaseyAnthony’s father, George,helped cover that up —and sexually abused hisdaughter. Her father hasvehemently denied the ac-cusations.

Anthony doesn’t talkabout her parents much,other than to say she wasdisappointed when theytook money from televi-sion’s Dr. Phil and ap-peared on his show. Thehost donated $600,000 toCaylee’s Fund, a nonprofitstarted by Anthony’s par-ents. At the time, he saidGeorge and Cindy Anthonywould derive no incomefrom the money. The non-profit was later dissolved.

Asked about the drown-ing defense, Casey An-thony hesitated: “Everyonehas their theories, I don’tknow. As I stand heretoday I can’t tell you oneway or another. The lasttime I saw my daughter I

believed she was alive andwas going to be OK, andthat’s what was told to me.“

Anthony lives in theSouth Florida home ofPatrick McKenna, a pri-vate detective who was thelead investigator on her de-fense team. She also worksfor him, doing online socialmedia searches and otherinvestigative work.McKenna was also the leadinvestigator for OJ Simp-son, when he was accusedof killing his wife and ac-quitted; Anthony said she’sbecome fascinated with thecase, and there are “a lot ofparallels” to her own cir-cumstances.

“I can empathize withhis situation,” she said.

An Associated Press re-porter met Anthony as sheprotested against Presi-dent Donald Trump at aPalm Beach rally.

It’s unclear why Anthonyagreed to speak to the AP.She later texted the re-porter, asking that the APnot run the story. Amongother things, she cited thebankruptcy case in whichshe has been embroiledsince 2013: “During thecourse of my bankruptcy,the rights to my story werepurchased by a third partycompany for $25k to pro-tect my interests. Withoutwritten authorization fromthe controlling members ofthis company, I am prohib-ited from speaking publiclyabout my case at anytime.”

In addition, she said shehad violated a confidential-ity agreement with her em-ployer, and remains undersubpoena and subject todeposition in her bank-ruptcy case.

Holy cow! California police find two calves crammed inside carBEAUMONT, Calif. — It was one of the more un-

usual calls the California Highway Patrol has re-ceived: Someone reported seeing a cow trying toclimb out of a small car parked alongside an inter-state.Officers responding Saturday along a mountain

pass in Southern California’s Riverside Countydiscovered a calf trying to escape from a HondaCivic’s open trunk.Another calf was crammed into the floor of the

backseat. Both calves’ hooves were tied.Investigators say the driver was nowhere to be

found. The car is registered to an address in Tu-lare County, more than 250 miles away.Authorities said Monday that the vehicle had not

been reported stolen. It’s been impounded as evi-dence.The calves will be cared for at a ranch while offi-

cials try to determine who owns them.

Mom who live-streamed 10-year-old son driving due in courtMONROE, Conn. — A Connecticut woman who

is accused of letting her 10-year-old son drive hercar on public roads and streaming it on FacebookLive is due in court at the end of the week.Monroe resident Lisa Nussbaum was charged

Friday with risk of injury or impairing morals of aminor. She has been released on a promise to ap-pear in Superior Court in Bridgeport on Friday.Police say Nussbaum was arrested after several

residents complained to officers of a live-stream-ing video on Facebook showing a child driving acar.Police say officers determined Nussbaum was

recording her son drive the car on public roadsthroughout the town. Police say the video wastaken from the passenger seat of Nussbaum’s ve-hicle. The Connecticut Post reports Nussbaum onMonday hinted there may be more to the story.

North Dakota reconsiders 70-year ban on parking metersBISMARCK, N.D. — When a farmer was ticketed

for not feeding a parking meter, he launched aone-man crusade that made North Dakota the na-tion’s only state that bans the meters on all publicstreets.Now the governor is quietly trying to end the

nearly 70-year ban, and the farmer’s granddaugh-ter is fighting to uphold her family’s legacy.Howard Henry received the fateful ticket in the

1940s in Minot. He said parking meters were un-needed in a wide-open state.By reintroducing meters, Gov. Doug Burgum

hopes to encourage more parking turnover, lead-ing to more retail sales for businesses and moretax revenue for communities and the state.Former state Sen. JoNell Bakke of Grand Forks

is Henry’s granddaughter. She says if the ban isrepealed, she will lead another effort to prohibitmeters.

Imagine thechild in “AChristmasStory,” but in-stead of a pinkbunny costume, I was in a brownbear outfit. I do not remember thepremise of the play, but obviouslyit connected wild animals to Jesusin some fashion.

Since that odd introduction tomusical theatre, I have enjoyedperforming on stage in a variety ofways, even in drag when it wasdeemed necessary. My childrenhave picked up my love for the artsas well, dancing, singing and act-ing since they were each itty-bitty.

For a community our size,Walker County and Jasper haveincredible opportunities as it re-lates to the arts, especially for chil-dren. After living in ruralMississippi for several years, thatfact was very obvious for our fam-ily.

The Walker County Arts Alliancedoes an outstanding job of high-lighting a variety of arts through-out the year. From Tasting of theArts to Art in the Park to the an-nual dinner theatre, that groupprovides our community withsomething that most places oursize just cannot offer. The WalkerArea Community Foundation alsois an entity that works hard to pro-vide unique events, such as con-certs at the Bankhead House andexhibits inside the home that high-light Walker County’s history.

Once we returned to Jasper last

year, we dove right in, getting in-volved in the summer theatrecamp at Bevill State CommunityCollege, playing roles in JasperCommunity Theater’s performanceof “The Best Christmas PageantEver” and dancing in Athletic ArtsCenter’s “The Nutcracker.” Our en-tire family had a blast taking partin those events together, and it al-lowed us to make memories to-gether that we will carry with usfor a lifetime.

Three of our children are per-forming in “The Little Mermaid,”which is another production ofAthletic Arts Center, set for Fridayevening at Maddox Middle School.The show will start at 7 p.m. andtickets will be available at thedoor. There are approximately 30local children participating in thestage performance. I would urgeanyone in our community to comeout and support the show.

Some news coming out of Wash-ington, D.C., concerns me as it re-lates to the arts. Increases infunding in some areas could meanless funding for the arts, specifi-cally funding for the National En-dowment for the Arts, the NationalEndowment for the Humanitiesand the Corporation for PublicBroadcasting. While those cutsmay not necessarily affect us lo-cally, some of the attitude towardthe arts or perceived lack of impor-tance of arts could affect how citi-zens’ views the arts here at home.

Americans for the Arts releaseda list of reasons in 2014 why weshould support the arts. For theentire list, visit americansfort-hearts.org, but I’ll share a few:

•Arts promote true prosperity.The arts are fundamental to ourhumanity. They ennoble and in-spire us – fostering creativity,goodness and beauty. The arts helpus express our values, buildbridges between cultures and bring

us together regardless of ethnicity,religion or age. When times aretough, art is salve for the ache.

•Arts improve academic per-formance. Students with an educa-tion rich in the arts have higherGPAs and standardized test scoresand lower dropout rates – benefitsreaped by students regardless ofsocio-economic status. Studentswith four years of art or music inhigh school average 100 points bet-ter on their SAT scores than stu-dents with just one-half year ofarts and music.

•Arts spark creativity and inno-vation. Creativity is among the Top5 applied skills sought by businessleaders.

•Arts have social impact. Re-searchers have demonstrated thata high concentration of the arts ina city leads to higher civic engage-ment, more social cohesion, higherchild welfare and lower povertyrates. A vibrant arts communityensures that young people are notleft to be raised solely in a pop cul-ture and tabloid marketplace.

The arts positively affect mostaspects of our society, includingstrengthening the economy to driv-ing tourism to even improving ourhealth and wellness. Those arebenefits that should not be ig-nored. Those benefits should becelebrated.

The little play this Friday nightwill bring together families andfriends from all across our county.Grandparents, aunts, uncles andmore will travel from out of townto watch these children perform.While they are here, they willprobably eat in Jasper, may filltheir car up with gas and possiblyeven shop a little. Even a smallperformance offers benefits to ourcommunity.

Christian persecutionkeeps getting worse

When President Donald Trump told the ChristianBroadcasting Network in January he would giveMiddle East Christians priority refugee status, hewas sharply criticized for religious favoritism andprejudice. Even a few high-profile American Chris-tian leaders questioned his judgment.

Trump’s executive order on refugees did not men-tion Christians but referenced religious “minorities.”That means mostly Christians, Shiite Muslims andYazidis.

A recent report by Open Door USA, a nonprofit re-search firm, identifies 2016 as the “worst year” forworldwide Christian persecution since the organiza-tion began monitoring human atrocities 25 yearsago.

“Christians throughout the world continue to riskimprisonment, loss of home and assets, torture, be-headings, rape and even death as a result of theirfaith,” the report stated.

Open Doors documents evidence that says about90,000 Christians were killed for their faith lastyear. More than 200,000 experienced religiously mo-tivated violence or persecution.An earlier report bythe Italy-based Center for Studies on New Religionsalso estimated 90,000 Christians were murdered forfaith around the world in 2016. Study author Mas-simo Introvigne called Christians “the most perse-cuted religious group in the world.”

A year ago on March 14, Congress passed HouseResolution 75 by a unanimous 393-0 vote. The reso-lution recognizes as “genocide” the persecution ofChristians, Yazidis and other religious minorities bythe Islamic State group.

A week later, then-Secretary of State John Kerrysaid, “Daesh,” or ISIL, “is genocidal by self-procla-mation, by ideology, and by actions.”

This week, Pope Francis released a video askingfor prayers for an end to Christian persecution. Thepope said Christians are “killed, burned alive,throats slit, and beheaded with barbarous bladesamid cowardly silence.”

The Open Doors report found North Korea topsthe list as the most dangerous places for Christians.Somalia comes in second, followed by Afghanistan,Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Eritrea andYemen.The irrefutable evidence of Christian perse-cution, mostly at the hands of Muslims, led to out-rage last year when data from the State DepartmentRefugee Processing Center revealed that only 0.5percent of 12,587 Syrian refugees admitted to theUnited States in 2016 were Christian, a total of 68.Sunni Muslims comprised 98.2 percent, and ShiiteMuslims totaled only 20, or 0.15 percent.

Christians, Yazidis and Shiite Muslims are victimsof what the Obama administration identified as awidespread religious genocide of religious minoritiesthroughout much of the Middle East and NorthernAfrica by ISIL and other Sunni Muslim extremists.

Yes, we should avoid aimless Islamophobia. Mean-while, our refugee practice should focus on defendingthe targets of a violent, rogue Sunni regime.

We don’t begin to have the answers to this humanrights crisis. We only know Americans should not sitback in what the pope calls “cowardly silence,”shrouded in religiously neutral political correctness.

Career technical education vital for Walker County’s future

Educators across Alabama are concerned about thefuture of career technical education (CTE) in thestate. If educators are concerned, all residents of ourstate should be concerned.

Last Friday, an email circulated from Alabama As-sociation for Career Technical Education ExecutiveDirector Ann Gilmore, who informed education offi-cials that the office of career and technical educationand workforce development in Alabama would beabolished. It has since been reported, however, thatthe career tech office will not be removed, but ratherbe placed under the office of academic affairs for thestate, as recommended by Superintendent MichaelSentance.

Walker County Center of Technology (WCCT) Di-rector Chris McCullar was up front when asked aboutthe changes, saying he feels reorganizing will nega-tively impact career technical education progress. TheDaily Mountain Eagle agrees with McCullar.

In a state that has been heralded as a leader inCTE, why do the bureaucrats at the state board of ed-ucation feel the need to change something that seemsto be working?

Career tech in Walker County has seen significantgrowth in recent years with 750 students, between thecounty and the city school systems, attending theWCCT each day. The training they receive leads themto well-paying jobs for companies who need a skilledworkforce.

CTE is too important to the future of our state andlocal economy. Officials at the state level may or maynot realize that fact. It is our hope they recognize thatimportance simply by the uproar caused by the re-or-ganization.

Support the arts, especially locally

Today is Wednesday,March 8, the 67th day of2017. There are 298 daysleft in the year.

Today’s Highlights inHistory:

On March 8, 1917, Rus-sia’s “February Revolu-tion” (referring to the OldStyle calendar) began inPetrograd; the result wasthe abdication of theRussian monarchy infavor of a provisional gov-ernment that was over-thrown later the sameyear by the Bolsheviks.Count Ferdinand von Zep-pelin, 78, creator of therigid airships bearing hisname, died in Berlin. TheU.S. Senate voted to limitfilibusters by adoptingthe cloture rule.

On this date:In 1702, England’s

Queen Anne acceded tothe throne upon the deathof King William III.

In 1930, the 27th presi-dent of the United States,William Howard Taft,died in Washington at age72.

In 1965, the UnitedStates landed its firstcombat troops in SouthVietnam as 3,500 Marinesarrived to defend the U.S.air base at Da Nang.

In 1979, technologyfirm Philips demon-strated a prototype com-pact disc player during apress conference in Eind-hoven, the Netherlands.

In 2014, Malaysia Air-lines Flight MH370, aBoeing 777 with 239 peo-ple on board, vanishedduring a flight fromKuala Lumpur to Beijing,setting off a massivesearch. (To date, the fateof the jetliner and its oc-cupants has yet to be de-termined.)

Thought for Today:“Contemplation seems tobe about the only luxurythat costs nothing.” —Dodie Smith, Englishplaywright (1896-1990).

Walker County Commissioners are incompetent!

How can the commissioners stillspend as if there is no massive debt(possible bankruptcy) looming overtheir heads. I recently read that thecommissioners want to install a newphone system for $111,000. Overtimeis not controlled. They still employ250 people and are not looking at pos-sible reductions.

They still want to pave roadsthroughout the county.

With the bond debt (another horri-

ble idea) looming, all avenues shouldbe looked at to reduce administrationcosts in every department. If this wasrun like a business, they would all befired and new managers would bebrought in to fix the mess. Well, theiranswer is to raise taxes. This wouldbe acceptable if they could show someability to manage the budget, reducecosts, and put a viable plan to pay offthe bond debt. The reality is they willtax us more, spend more and stillhave no solution.

Thank goodness we will have a newphone system!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Ten-nessee defensive line coach BradyHoke has joined the staff of anold friend andis looking tobounce backfrom a disap-pointing season.

Hoke, the for-mer Michiganhead coach, ispart of Butch Jones’ staff over-haul. This opportunity representsa chance for the Volunteers to re-juvenate their defense and forHoke to rebound after a frustrat-ing one-year stint as Oregon’s de-fensive coordinator.

“Butch had called me, and wetalked a little bit about it,” Hokesaid Tuesday in his first mediasession since getting hired lastmonth . “Obviously things wentsouth in Oregon, and being a de-fensive line coach for most of mycareer — even as a head coach Istill coached part of the defensiveline — it’s been great.

“The relationship and trust fac-tor that we have in each otherthat was built over many years,it’s one reason it was attractive tocome to Tennessee.”

Hoke said he has known Jonesfor over 15 years. When he wascoaching Ball State about adecade ago, Hoke even tried tohire Jones, who was a CentralMichigan assistant at the time.

They now will work together intrying to upgrade a Tennessee de-fense that allowed 449.2 yardsper game last season to rank95th nationally. Hoke was givena two-year deal worth $500,000annually to replace SteveStripling, who accepted a positionas Tennessee’s director of footballdevelopment.

Dameyune Craig returns toFlorida State as an assistant

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Dameyune Craighas rejoined Jimbo Fisher’s staff at Florida State.

Craig, who was quarterbacks coach from 2010-12, has been hired as an offensive quality controlassistant. The Seminoles, who were 10-3 lastseason, began spring practices on Monday.

After leaving Florida State, Craig was an assis-tant at Auburn for three seasons (2013-15) andwas the wide receivers coach last season at LSU.

Fisher says Craig’s addition is a natural fit be-cause of his knowledge of the offensive scheme.Besides coaching in it, Craig played in it whenFisher was the quarterbacks coach at Auburn(1993-98).

During his first stint at Florida State, Craigcoached Christian Ponder and EJ Manuel, whowere first-round picks in the NFL draft, and helpedrecruit Jameis Winston, who won the HeismanTrophy in 2013 and led FSU to its third nationalchampionship.

Mavericks’ Nowitzki starts fast,reaches 30,000 points vs LakersBy SCHUYLER DIXONAP Sports Writer

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki hasgiven the NBA’s 30,000-point clubits first international member.

Nowitzki became the sixth playerto reach the milestone Tuesdaynight, getting 18 of the 20 points heneeded in the first quarter againstthe Los Angeles Lakers. The Dallasstar got there on a fadeaway jumperfrom the baseline over Larry NanceJr. with 10:58 left in the secondquarter.

Nowitzki added a 3-pointer for 23points in the first 14 minutes beforethe game was stopped as teammatesmobbed the wide-smiling 38-year-old near midcourt. After going to the

bench for more hugs and hand slaps,including one from owner MarkCuban, Nowitzki returned to thecourt to acknowledge the standingovation.

The 7-foot German, in his 19thseason, is the third to score at least30,000 points with one team. Theothers are Karl Malone (Utah) andKobe Bryant (Lakers).

“Dirk has been a model player andterrific ambassador for our game.This latest accomplishment furtherestablishes his legacy as one of theNBA’s greatest players,” NBA Com-missioner Adam Silver said in astatement.

The 30,000 list includes four Hallof Famers in career leader KareemAbdul-Jabbar (38,387 points), Mal-

one, Michael Jordan and Wilt Cham-berlain, and a future one in Bryant,who is third. Julius Erving alsoreached the milestone with his ABAcareer included.

Fans arrived with T-shirts drapedover their seats that read “30K” be-hind a silhouette of Nowitzki’s sig-nature one-footed fadeaway jumper.

Nowitzki hit his first six shots andfinished the first half with 25 points,just one shy of his season high. Hewas 9 of 12 from the field, 3 of 3 frombeyond the arc and 4 of 4 on freethrows before halftime. A short videotribute was played when the gamewas stopped, followed by testimoni-als from former teammates andfans, even some Germans, duringsubsequent breaks in the game.

Conference Coach of theYear.

From there, McCarty ac-cepted a job as a profes-sional coach in an upstartfootball league in Aus-tralia. At the last minute,the league was postponedfor a year, leaving McCartylooking for the right fit.

That’s when the Sumi-ton Christian job cameopen.

“Some representativesfrom the school reachedout to me. Initially, I didn’tknow what I wanted to do.We were (living) in Ope-lika and I had other thingsI was considering. Themore I thought about it,the more I felt God wasleading us here. He worksin mysterious ways. He’sgiven me every opportu-nity I’ve had,” McCartysaid.

“This is a special place.It’s kind of surreal thathere I am sitting in theshoes of the same menthat were giants in my

eyes. I have the chance tostep in and be the sametype role model that thosecoaches were to me. It’s abig responsibility and oneI don’t take lightly.”

During his time atSumiton Christian, Mc-Carty played for coachDavid Campbell. In hissenior season, 2000, Mc-Carty made first-team All-State for a team thatfinished 11-1 in its firstyear competing at theAHSAA level. The teamlost to eventual statechampion Hazlewood inthe second round of theClass 1A playoffs.

In his four years withthe Eagles, the team went35-10, making the postsea-son each year.

“Honestly, the purest joyI had was here,” McCartysaid of his days playing atwhat is now CampbellField. “We were so close asa group. My teammateswere awesome. There areso many guys I could

name. I can vividly see usout there working to-gether. It was a specialtime in my life. I thinkabout it all the time. I toldthe players that my senioryear was the most fun I’veever had. I want to makesure they are having asmuch fun as I had my sen-ior year.”

Sumiton Christian iscoming off its best seasonsince 2000. The Eagles ad-vanced to the second roundof the state playoffs underLockhart, winning a play-off game for the first timesince 2004.

“Coach Lockhart and theguys did a tremendous job.It was the best record anyteam at Sumiton Christianhas had in 17 years, sinceI graduated. They didthings the right way andreally put down a strongfoundation. I’m lookingforward to building on thatfoundation,” said McCarty,who has family connectionat Sumiton Christian.

His mother Joan is anadministrator at theschool. He’s also hoping toadd his father, Ronnie Mc-Carty — who served ascoach Campbell’s defensivecoordinator — to his staff.

“My dad is the reason Ibecame a football coach.He was the head coach atWest Birmingham Chris-tian. He won a champi-onship there. I was the ballboy, always hangingaround the field. That’swhere I learned to love thegame. It will be nice tohave my dad on the side-lines with me,” McCartysaid.

Right now, he’s just gladto be back home.

“It’s exciting to be able tocome to your alma materand lead these guys,” Mc-Carty said. “I told the guysthe other day that it hadbeen almost 17 years sinceI had been to a chapel serv-ice (at the school). It’s niceto be back. Not that muchhas changed.”

McCarty From A7

record and Sugar Bowl title in 2011, but lately he’shad a tough go of it. Michigan fired him after going5-7 in 2014. After spending 2015 away from football,Hoke returned last year as a defensive coordinator onOregon coach Mark Helfrich’s staff as the Ducks triedswitching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme.

Oregon didn’t adapt well to the change. The Ducksallowed 518.4 yards and 41.4 points per game lastseason to rank 126th out of 128 Football Bowl Subdi-vision teams in both categories. Helfrich was firedafter Oregon finished 4-8.

Hoke’s task at Tennessee includes finding a way toreplace defensive ends Derek Barnett and CoreyVereen, who combined for 20 sacks and 30 ½ tacklesfor loss last season. Barnett is a likely first-rounddraft pick who ended his three-year career as Ten-nessee’s all-time sack leader.

Hoke would get a major boost if defensive tacklesKahlil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle can stay healthyafter being limited to seven games each last season.Although he said it’s too early for him to evaluate Ten-nessee’s linemen, Hoke knows what he wants to seefrom them. The Vols open spring practice March 21.

“You’d better be tough,” Hoke said. “Toughness issomething that you have to have in this game. That’smental and physical toughness, and I think pride andownership in who they are and who they represent,from their families and their name and from howthey’re going to represent each other out there on thefield. That’s really important, (and) obviously howquickly they can learn.”

Gab session withgal pal leaves

wife feeling hurtDEARABBY: Iread yourcolumn allthe time.My hus-band andI havebeen mar-ried for 35years. Myhusbandhas goodfriendswho arewomen, and I have neverobjected when he stayedwith them when he trav-eled from our home toMichigan. One of thewomen he stays with calledand they talked for hours.That’s not right is it? Myhusband says she’s just agood friend and it’s onlyconversation. Like I said, Ididn’t mind him stayingwith her because I trustedhim. But now I’m leery andsuspicious. I don’t believeit’s a sexual thing, but along conversation hurts memore because I thought Iwas his best friend. I toldhim, “Let’s get counseling.If it doesn’t work, we candivorce.” He said, “You’renot going to stop me fromtalking to my friends.” Abby, I need your opinion.

— LEERY IN FLORIDA

DEAR LEERY: What-ever is going on, youand your husband arehaving a communica-tion problem. Instead ofraising the subject of di-vorce with him, it maybe time for you to getmarriage counseling,alone if he won’t go withyou. Your husbandshould be able to talk tohis friends — male andfemale — if he wishes.For you to tell him oth-erwise makes you lookmore like his jailer thanhis wife. Some media-tion may help you feelless threatened and helpyou both to get back onthe same page.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 39-year-old female who hasn’tbeen able to conceive. Mysister has two children andone on the way. I love beingan aunt, but I do want to bea mom myself. I’m recentlydivorced and have a nicehome, a dependable vehicleand a job that I love. Theonly thing missing in mylife is a child. I have theopportunity to adopt a new-born baby from a familywho is unable to care forher. She will be born in thenext few months. When Ispeak to my friends andfamily about it, eventhough they would love forme to have a child, they saythey don’t think this is theright path for me. AlthoughI want a child and alwayshave, I’m now having con-cerns about it, too. Any ad-vice you could share wouldbe greatly appreciated.— MOTHERLY INSTINCT

IN GEORGIA

DEAR INSTINCT: Iwish you had beenclearer about why yourfamily doesn’t feel thatadopting the babywould be the right pathfor you. However, sinceyou weren’t, let me offerthis: Many single par-ents — whether singlebecause of divorce, wid-owhood or by choice —successfully raise chil-dren. At 39, with a homeand a good job, you ap-pear to be financially se-cure enough to providefor a child. Unless youhave an emotional prob-lem you didn’t mention,or lack the patience tobe a good mother, I seeno reason why youshouldn’t become one.However, because yourfriends and family havecreated doubt, discussthis with a counselor toclarify your thinking.

DEAR ABBY: Whatshould I say to someonewho expects an invitationto a wedding but will not bereceiving one and they askwhy they didn’t get one?

— WHERE’S MYINVITATION?

DEAR WHERE’S: Ifsomeone is nervyenough to ask why he orshe was not invited tothe wedding, all youhave to say is that for lo-gistical reasons you hadto limit your guest list.

Dear Abby

By Abigail Van Buren

WASHINGTON (AP) —A powerful conservativebacklash threatened tosink the new Republicanhealth care bill Tuesdayless than 24 hours after itslaunch, even as PresidentDonald Trump and con-gressional leaders begantrying to sell the legisla-tion as the long-promisedGOP cure for “Oba-macare.”

“We’re going to do some-thing that’s great and I’mproud to support the re-placement plan releasedby the House of Represen-tatives,” Trump declared atthe White House as he metTuesday with the HouseGOP vote-counting team.“We’re going to take action.There’s going to be noslowing down. There’sgoing to be no waiting andno more excuses by any-body.”

Meanwhile, Vice Presi-dent Mike Pence told GOPlawmakers at the Capitolthis was their chance toscuttle Obama’s law, andSenate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell forecastcongressional passage byearly April.

But major obstaclesloomed as key Republicanlawmakers announcedtheir opposition, and oneconservative group afteranother torched the plan.The Club for Growth, Her-itage Action for America,Americans for Prosperityand Tea Party Patriots var-iously derided the new billas Obamacare Lite, Oba-macare 2.0 and even Ryan-Care, in a dig at HouseSpeaker Paul Ryan of Wis-consin.

The new GOP planwould repeal the currentlaw’s unpopular fines onpeople who don’t carryhealth insurance. It alsowould replace income-based subsidies, which thelaw provides to help mil-lions of Americans pay pre-miums, with age-based taxcredits that may beskimpier for people withlow incomes. Those pay-ments would phase out forhigher-earning people.

The legislation alsowould limit future federalfunding for Medicaid,which covers low-incomepeople, about 1 in 5 Amer-icans. And it would loosenrules that Obama’s law im-posed for health plans di-rectly purchased byindividuals.

Republican supportersand opponents are all in-tent on reducing the role ofgovernment in health care,but some House conserva-tives say the new bill does-n’t go nearly far enough.

For example, they are fo-cusing on the system of re-fundable tax credits theydenounce as a costly newentitlement. They’re de-manding a vote on astraightforward repeal-only bill.

At the White Housemeeting Tuesday, Trumpmade clear to House Re-publicans that he would bepersonally engaging withindividual members whooppose the bill as leader-ship tries to round upvotes, according to a law-maker present who spokeon condition of anonymityto discuss the private gath-ering.

Not long after, Trumpappeared to be makinggood on his promise, tweet-ing at Sen. Rand Paul of

Kentucky, who has criti-cized the bill.

“I feel sure that myfriend @RandPaul willcome along with the newand great health care pro-gram because he knowsObamacare is a disaster!”the president wrote. Thepresident plans to recon-vene the group next weekand will meet with conser-vative leaders to discussthe issue Wednesday.

The concerted conserva-tive opposition was a re-markable rebuke tolegislation GOP leadershope will fulfill sevenyears of promises to repealand replace BarackObama’s Affordable CareAct, pledges that playedout in countless Republi-can campaigns for Houseand Senate as well as lastyear’s race for president.Instead, the groups thatare uniting to oppose thenew House legislation in-clude many that sprang upto oppose passage of “Oba-macare” in the first place.

“As the bill stands today,it is Obamacare 2.0,” thebillionaire Koch Brothers-backed Americans forProsperity and FreedomPartners Chamber of Com-merce said in a statement.“Millions of Americanswould never see the im-provements in care theywere promised, just asObamacare failed to de-liver on its promises.”

Republicans are pushingforward even without offi-cial estimates from theCongressional Budget Of-fice on the cost of the billand how many peoplewould be covered, althoughGOP lawmakers acknowl-edge they can’t hope tomatch the 20 million cov-ered under Obamacare.

Democrats say the billwould leave many peopleuninsured, shifting costs tostates and hospital sys-tems that act as providersof last resort. The bill alsoadds up to big tax breaksfor the rich, cutting morethan 20 taxes enactedunder Obama’s heath law,with the bulk of the sav-ings going to the wealthi-est Americans.

In this aerial file photo shows the site where the final phase of the Dakota AccessPipeline will take place with boring equipment routing the pipeline underground andacross Lake Oahe to connect with the existing pipeline in Emmons County nearCannon Ball, N.D. American Indians from across the country are bringing their frus-trations with the Trump administration and its approval of the Dakota Access oilpipeline to the nation's capital Tuesday kicking off four days of activities that willculminate in a march on the White House.

Judge won’t stop constructionof Dakota Access pipeline

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judgedeclined Tuesday to temporarily stop con-struction of the final section of the disputedDakota Access oil pipeline, clearing the wayfor oil to flow as soon as next week.

The Standing Rock and Cheyenne RiverSioux had asked U.S. District Judge JamesBoasberg in Washington to direct the ArmyCorps of Engineers to withdra w permissionfor Texas-based developer Energy TransferPartners to la y pipe under Lake Oahe inNorth Dakota. The stretch under the Mis-souri River reservoir in southern NorthDakota is the last piece of construction forthe $3.8 billion pipeline to move NorthDakota oil to Illinois.

The tribes argued that construction underthe lake violates their right to practice theirreligion, which relies on c lean water, andthey wanted the work suspended until theclaim could be resolved.

When they filed the la wsuit last summer,the tribes argued that the pipeline threatensNative American cultural sites and theirwater supply. Their religion argument w asnew, however, and disputed by both the Corpsand the company.

Boasberg in his ruling Tuesday said thetribes didn’t raise the religion argument in atimely fashion.

ford coverage. It would likely leave moreAmericans uninsured and would alsooverhaul Medicaid. It’s not clear if the billwill gain enough support to pass the Sen-ate, as several Republicans have alreadycriticized the proposal.

Health insurance companies tradedhigher, however. Les Funtleyder, healthcare portfolio manager for E SquaredAsset Management, said the bill wouldhelp reduce the losses health insurers aretaking on plans offered to people whodon’t get their insurance through an em-ployer or the government.

Humana added $5.58, or 2.6 percent, to$218.32 and Anthem rose 55 cents to$166.39.

DRUGMAKERS DOWN: Drug com-panies fell after President Donald Trumpsaid in a tweet that he intends to bringdown drug prices . Trump has talkedabout reducing drug prices before , buthasn’t discussed details. Funtleyder saidthe task might be harder than it sounds.

“There’s no government mechanism atthe moment to control costs directly ,” hesaid.

Companies that make costly drugs tooksome of the largest losses . Mallinckrodt,which has faced criticism over the pricetag of its HP Acthar gel, gave up $1.21, or2.4 percent, to $50.05. Biotechnology com-pany Alexion Pharmaceuticals shed$3.18, or 2.4 percent, to $130.15. Alexionmakes Soliris, a high-priced drug thattreats two rare genetic disorders.

Meanwhile generic drug companiesalso struggled. Those included Perrigoand Mylan, which are among severalgeneric drugmakers facing scrutiny over

possible price-fixing, retreated $1.28, or1.8 percent, to $70.31 and Mylan fell 53cents, or 1.2 percent, to $43.51.

Prescription drug distributors also fell.Express Scripts lost $2.15, or 3.1 percent,to $67.90.

AND HOW IS THE WEATHER: Oil-field services company Weatherford Inter-national soared after it named a newCEO. The company is hiring HalliburtonChief Financial Officer Mark McCollumas its new president and CEO. McCollumwill join the company in late April. Weath-erford stock surged 72 cents, or 12.2 per-cent, to $6.61. The stock is down almost50 percent over the last two years.

LOGGING ON: Technology companiesdid better than the rest of the market.Chipmaker Texas Instruments gained 96cents, or 1.2 percent, to $79.27 while videogame maker Electronic Arts rose $1.06, or1.2 percent, to $88.20. Data storage com-pany Nimble Storage soared after itagreed to be bought by Hewlett P ackardEnterprise for about $1 billion. The stockrose $3.91, or 45.5 percent, to $12.51, onecent above the price of the deal.

ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude heldsteady at $53.20 a barrel in New York.Brent crude, used to price internationaloils, lost 3 cents to $55.98 a barrel in Lon-don. Energy companies continued to lagthe market, however, which continued apattern that’s persisted since late lastyear.

Hess lost $1.32, or 2.6 percent, to$49.71 and Exxon Mobil skidded 32 centsto $82. 51 while natural gas companieslike Southwestern Energy fell with theprice of that fuel.

“Only once Dakota Ac-cess had built up to thewater’s edge and the Corpshad granted the easement(for drilling) to proceed didCheyenne River inform de-fendants that the pipelinewas the realization of along-held prophecy about aBlack Snake and that themere presence of oil in thepipeline under the lakebedwould interfere withtribe’s members’ ability toengage in important reli-gious practices,” the judgesaid.

Boasberg said he islikely to allow the tribes tocontinue making the reli-gion argument, though hedoesn’t think it’s likely tosucceed.

“Although the tribe’ smembers may feel unableto use the water from LakeOahe in their religious cer-

emonies once the pipelineis operational, there is nospecific ban on their reli-gious exercise,” he said.

In February, Boasbergdeclined the tribes’ requestto order an immediate haltto the pipeline construc-tion, ruling that as long asoil wasn’t flowing throughthe pipeline, there was noimminent harm to thetribes.

Tribal attorney NicoleDucheneaux countered incourt documents that themere existence of an oilpipeline under the reser -voir the tribes consider tobe “sacred waters” violatedtheir right to practice theirreligion.

The court battle isn’tover, as no final decisionhas been made on the mer-its of the tribes’ overallclaims. Both tribes also

have asked Boasberg tooverturn the federal per -mission for the Lake Oahecrossing and to bar theCorps from granting per -mission in the future. Thejudge won’t rule until atleast April.

The pipeline saga hasendured for months. Hun-dreds and sometimes thou-sands of pipelineopponents who sided withtribal opposition to thepipeline camped on federalland near the drill site formonths, often c lashingwith police.

There have been about750 arrests in the regionsince August.

Authorities last monthclosed the camp in ad-vance of spring floodingseason and set up road-blocks to prevent protest-ers from returning.

Is hoarding passed generation to generation?Do you spend

spare time goingto estate andyard sales oreven stopping inat a thrift storelooking for itemsthat you are col-lecting? Do youhave a tendencyto pick up thatcute little itemthat looks like itneeds a home?Do you have spe-cial rooms, shelves or sheds built tohold your over-run?

When does collecting becomehoarding? Hoarding is in the eye ofthe beholder, and I am convincedthat “hoarding is in one’s genes.” Ifit could be stored in the two 10’ X14’ rooms Daddy built, Mothersaved it ... from magazines, lettersand calendars to clothes long out-grown.

I’m not quite that bad. I have twostorage buildings of stuff thatsomeone might need. Christmastree ornaments from early child-hood to wheelchairs, a bath chair,hospital beds, lifts, and books Iused when I taught school. Actu-ally, a lot of this has been borrowedand returned when it was no longerneeded.

When I speak of hoarding andgenes, my son is a pack-rat hoarder.He will not give up anything ... allthose crazy shirts from the ‘70s ...those old leather sandals that thetoes are so turned up that they looklike a “rocking horse.” If I lookedclosely, I feel sure that I would findhis old “pacifiers.”

Hoarding was brought up be-cause I had drug a box of stuff out

of a closet. In it were “precious lit-tle jewels” someone could not partwith ... buttons, one of a kind ...newspaper clippings. Some wereclippings from the BirminghamNews and Eagle Community News.

One was a Eagle CommunityNews dated March 5,1969, featur-ing a beauty pageant at CornerHigh School. I turned the paperover and found a political cartoon.It depicted militant terrorism. Thatpeeked my interest, so, I opened theDaily Mountain Eagle I was read-ing, on Sunday, March 5, 2017.With all the talk about “terrorism,”there was no mention of terrorism,cartoon or otherwise.

The 1960s was the time periodfor the first terrorist group I re-member hearing about. It was theWeathermen Underground, co-founded with Bill Ayers and RonFeigelman in New York City. Theystarted a youth movement thatconsisted of white, young middle-class students intent to overthrowthe government. The Weathermenbombed several buildings in NewYork.

About the same time the BlackPanthers, a militant black national-ist group, was formed to intimidatethose they chose to scare. Theywore all black clothing from headto toe, with black leather jacketswith the clothing so tight that theoutline of firearms could be seen.They had some shoot-outs with po-lice.

William Webster became directorof the FBI in 1978. He quickly putthe brakes on terrorism. Websterfound that, like Thomas Jefferson,the terrorist only understands re-versed terror.

For about 10 years, in the 1800s,

Thomas Jefferson tried to usediplomacy and bribery to stoppiracy of our ships, but the Muslimpirates on the Barbary Coast didnot understand honor. They contin-ued pirating our ships and kidnap-ping our mercenaries manningthem.

So, Jefferson founded the Navyand had strong ships built. Hebombarded the Barbary Coast, butpirates still ignored the agree-ments. In 1805, Lt. William Eatonled seven Marines and 400 Merce-naries to a victory over Derma onthe shores of Tripoli (think of thefirst line of the Marine Hymn), andburned the Philadelphia being heldby the Muslims.

There are a conflicting accountsabout these battles. Another is thatLt. Presley O’Brannon captured theFort of Derma, giving the young na-tion, the United States of America,its first victory on foreign soil.There were dozens of wars between1800 and 1816. The War of 1812was one.

In 1816, Lt. Commander StephenDecatur and Lt. William Bain-bridge shelled Algiers into submis-sion, wiping out whole cities ofmen, women and children. TheUnited State had no more problemswith the Muslim terrorist for about200 years.

Be careful cleaning out your clos-ets. You might come across an arti-cle written nearly 50 years ago thatwill send you running to read andsearch history books to learn more.

George Michael diedof natural causes,British coroner says

LONDON (AP) — George Mic hael died of naturalcauses as the result of heart disease and a fatty liver,a British coroner said Tuesday.

Darren Salter, senior coroner forthe county of Oxfordshire in south-ern England, said a post-mortemhas found that the singer died of“dilated cardiomyopathy with my-ocarditis and fatty liver.”

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a con-dition in which the left ventricle ofthe heart becomes stretc hed andweakened, limiting the heart’s abil-ity to pump blood. Myocarditis is in-flammation of the heart muscle.

The former Wham! singer-song-writer was found dead at his coun-try home in Oxfordshire on Dec. 25. He was 53.

An initial autopsy failed to determine the cause ofdeath.

Salter said that because Mic hael died of naturalcauses, there will be no coroner’ s inquest or furtherinquiries.

Police initially investigated and took witness state-ments in order to establish facts Mic hael’s death,which they called “unexplained but non-suspicious.”

Wham!, formed by Michael and his friend AndrewRidgeley, topped charts in the 1980s with exuberantpop hits including “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”and “Young Guns (Go For It).” Michael went on to asolo career studded with major hits inc luding “Care-less Whisper” and “Freedom” and sold more than 100million albums around the world.

He also suffered problems with drugs and alcohol,and in 2010 was briefly jailed after crashing his RangeRover into a shop front near his London home whilehigh on prescription drugs and marijuana.

Michael had experienced health problems includinga bout of pneumonia in 2011 that sa w him hospital-ized in intensive care. He said later it had been “touchand go” whether he would survive.

Michael’s former partner, Kenny Goss, has said hethinks the musician’s body “just gave up.”

Dilated cardiomyopathy can be an inherited condi-tion, or can be caused by factors suc h as viral infec-tions and high blood pressure. Myocarditis is usuallycaused by a viral, bacterial or fungal infection, whilefatty liver disease can be caused by alcohol, or byother factors that cause a buildup of fat in the liver.
