islative review and may still be amendedand even rejected, would — if approved— go into effect with a 16- to 18-monthtransition period beginning July 1.

But in a field not historically known formaking quick changes, this proposal is al-most overwhelming, some faculty mem-bers say.

“It feels like a lot of change in a shortamount of time,” Gruber said.

Faculty representationAnd the plan’s threat to the concept of

shared governance is illustrated by a lackor shortage of faculty representation onthe appointed transitional task force andproposed state university board, facultysay.

Under the Tennessee Board of Regents,the universities’ current governing board,a faculty sub-council includes faculty rep-resentatives from both the two- and four-year schools, which they say helps tofoster unity and cooperation among theinstitutions.

According to the current proposed planfor the FOCUS Act, each state universityboard would include only one faculty rep-resentative, who would serve a two-yearterm while other members, with the ex-ception of a nonvoting student member,would serve rotating six-year terms.

Such a configuration would cause thefaculty to “lose much of its voice,” Gru-ber said.

“It would reduce the influence of thepeople who actually deliver the goods,”she said, concerning the elimination ofthe TBR’s faculty sub-council and estab-lishment of the state university board.

“The faculty objects to being excludedin all stages of this process. We’re thehigher education workforce,” she said.

TTU President Philip Oldham and otherproponents of the FOCUS Act say, on thecontrary, the faculty voice has the poten-tial to be heard even louder on each stateuniversity board because it will no longerbe diluted by other institutions.

Many faculty, however, seem to see

unity where proponents of the act see di-lution.

UnityAmong the concerns faculty have ex-

pressed to Gruber, she said, includes con-cern that the higher education pillarsshould work together.“It seems that higher education could be

better served by having the communitycolleges and four-year universities con-tinuing to work together,” she said.Other faculty have asked, with so much

emphasis put on living and operating in aglobalized world, why is Tennesseehigher education now choosing instead tocentralize?Although proponents say cooperation

among higher education institutions willnot be compromised by the establishmentof state university boards, others say theyfear it is a significant move from a stu-dent-centered approach to a business-cen-tered concept.

Business-centeredAnd national trends, as presented in

some higher education publications, seemto back up those fears.Howard Bunsis, national chair of

AAUP’s Bargaining Congress, says in arecent article on the Truthout website that,across the country, higher education gov-erning boards are more and more fre-quently made up of individuals from theprivate sector who have little to no expe-rience in teaching and education.The problem, especially for public insti-

tutions, he says, is that higher educationstarts to be treated as a profit center in-stead of a public benefit.“What do business people know about

academics?” Gruber iterated.She said she has heard concerns among

the faculty that a governing boardweighted with business people and pri-vate sector individuals will have difficultydistinguishing training from education.“Higher education is about more than

just training future employees. Yes, wewant graduates to be able to find jobs andestablish careers, but we also want themto be well-rounded individuals with the

power to think and act for themselvesthroughout life,” she said.Jon Jonakin, a professor emeritus of

business from TTU, says he believes thatpublic liberal arts institutions will bejeopardized by a business mentality if theFOCUS Act is ultimately approved.“There are a lot of disturbing aspects to

this whole proposal, and I believe the un-certainty is intentional at this point. Therejust seems to be a lot of calculated ambi-guity in a rush to get this proposalpassed,” he said. But if the FOCUS Act is approved, will

the state university board be made up ofmostly community businesspeople?Proponents like Oldham say it will not.In addition to the nonvoting student

member and the two-year faculty post, theboard will include seven other positions.According to the current proposal, at leastthree of them must be alumni from theuniversity — and Oldham says, at least atTTU, he will seek to get as broad of analumni representation as possible.In addition, no more than three of the

board members may live out-of-state, theproposal says.Those stipulations, however, appear to

be the only defining boundaries for themembership of the state university board.

Academic freedomSome faculty say they are concerned

that the proposal may also challenge theiracademic freedom, a central tenet ofhigher education that allows facultymembers — the experts in their fields —to create and guide their courses and cur-ricula.They site a passage in the proposed

FOCUS Act that says it will give the stateuniversity board the power to “prescribecurricula and requirements for diplomasand degrees.”But proponents say the TBR currently

has that power over academic standards,and passage of the proposed act will dolittle to change day-to-day classroom ac-tivities.Will it also possibly change the admin-

istration or add costs to the university

somehow?Cost of administration

Some TTU faculty say they see the nine-member board as additional administra-tors at a university that is already delugedwith administration.According to online statistics updated

continually by the Chronicle of HigherEducation, the average national salary formanagement at four-year public universi-ties is around $101,500.The average salary for managers and ad-

ministrators at TTU is $139,105.By TTU’s own record, the highest paid

administrator at the university, whose jobconcerns research, earns a salary of$305,500, an amount that exceeds evenPresident Oldham’s annual salary of$280,400. Of the six four-year universities in the

state, only the University of Memphispays its managers and administratorsmore than TTU, at an average of$148,211.Rather than comparing TTU to other

state public institutions, however, somesuggest that TTU’s salaries instead becompared to those of Georgia Tech andother such engineering and research uni-versities across the nation.That suggestion infers TTU’s reputation

as a major research institution, but a re-cent article from Inside Higher Ed notesthe University of Memphis as “the onlyresearch university in the TBR system.”In spite of a multitude of concerns ex-

pressed by faculty about the proposedFOCUS Act, many say President Oldhamhas been more proactive in communicat-ing with the TTU campus than presidentsof other universities appear to have been.He has arranged meetings with each in-

dividual college within the university toaddress the topic.And the university has a website that ad-

dresses frequently asked questions aboutthe proposed FOCUS Act and allows thecampus and the public to ask their ownquestions.To access the site, go to

www.tntech.edu/focus.

them are so drug addicted. Somepeople say, ‘Well, they just needto quit doing that.’ But these peo-ple are so ravaged by drugs andalcohol. A lot of it is the environ-ment they’ve been brought up it.It’s really sad to see that and toknow what those kids are livingthrough.”However, Qualls does see posi-

tive outcomes as well. For someparents, being reported for childabuse or neglect is just the wakeup call that they need to getthemselves help, even if theydon’t see it in that light at first.“I had a gentleman not long ago

who went to in-patient treat-ment,” Qualls said. “He wasthere for 60 days and was goingto be there for another 60 days.And the clerk turned to me andsaid, ‘It’s amazing how much dif-ferent he looks and how his atti-

tude has changed.’ It seems likea lot of these people who are ableto go to long-term programs, theyreally turn it around with a muchhigher success rate. It’s reallyneat to see that.”Anyone who suspects child

abuse is going on should call thehotline at Child Abuse Hotline 1-877-237-0004 or visithttps://apps.tn.gov/carat/. “A lotof times people have friends orfamily and they just don’t want tosay anything.They say, ‘I don’twant to be the one to get them introuble.’ But that just causesthings to get worse, and that’sputting a child at risk,” Quallssaid. “If somebody knows some-thing, they need to report it. Theycan report it to the hotline andtheir name will never be used.Even in court proceedings, if thecase worker is asked who called,they can’t and won’t disclosethat.”

UPPER CUMBERLAND — Althoughmembers of a veterans cemetery steer-ing committee expressed frustration onFriday about the lack of a site on whichto build a veterans cemetery in theUpper Cumberland, the assistant com-missioner of Tennessee Veterans Serv-ices assured the group that the project isstill moving forward and encouragedfundraising efforts.

“It’s still going to happen,” TennesseeVeterans Services Assistant Commis-sioner Lorenza Wills told members ofthe Upper Cumberland Veterans Ceme-tery Steering Committee. “When? Idon’t know. We’re in the process of se-lecting land. I know a lot of people arefrustrated. My message to you from thecommissioner is ‘Keep fundraising,

guys.’”Wills said the state is looking at five or

six properties in the Upper Cumberlandarea, and some of the land being consid-ered for a cemetery is in the Montereyarea near Exit 290 off Interstate 40.But no specific addresses were an-

nounced on Friday. Wills said that whenthe state narrows it down to one or twoproperties, he would notify the steeringcommittee so that they could viewthose.Including money collected during Fri-

day’s meeting, the committee has raisedmore than $60,000 from local govern-ments and private donations, many col-lected from canisters at variousbusinesses in the 14-county UpperCumberland region the cemetery wouldserve.By comparison, a group working to es-

tablish a veterans cemetery in West Ten-

nessee at Parkers Crossroads, raised$313,595 after a couple of years offundraising, and the state provided aportion of the funds for the group topurchase property for a veterans ceme-tery there in 2014. Donna Fare of White County, who was

elected as the new chairperson of thecommittee on Friday, talked about onepossible way to fundraise for the ceme-tery is establishing a memory gardenwith engraved stones or blocks, similarto what’s in the veterans park in WhiteCounty across from the courthouse.Veterans cemetery committee secre-

tary Al Klee suggested that group mem-bers talk to their county budget officialsnow about giving to the cemetery asthey are in the process of preparingbudgets for the next fiscal year that be-gins July 1.Tennessee has two national veterans

cemeteries in Nashville and Chat-tanooga, along with three state veteranscemeteries in Nashville, Knoxville andMemphis.Tennessee Veterans Services Commis-

sioner Many-Bears Grinder has said herdepartment’s goal is to establish a stateveterans cemetery within 75 miles ofthe veteran population.Approximately 25,000 veterans reside

in the 14-county Upper Cumberland re-gion. Those who wish to donate to a veter-

ans cemetery may make checks payableto the Military Officers Association ofAmerica and send to 197 Ivy BrookLane, Crossville, TN 38555. The next meeting of the committee is

Friday, May 6, at 9 a.m. at the UpperCumberland Human Resource Agencyon South Jefferson Avenue inCookeville.

Are expiredfoods yourfuture diet?

Ireally should be prejudicedagainst this week’s topic, butI’m not.

Back when I was around 11years old, I marched into thelocal Kuhn’s Variety Store withmy hard-earned coins andproudly purchased a box of pop-corn-based Fiddle Faddle. WhenI got home and crammed a hand-ful into my mouth, I soon dis-

covered aragtag bandof weevilsdoing somedirty dancingon mytongue.

To this day,I can stillswear I hearda tiny voicetaunting meas I spit thesnack out,“Nobody

puts Baby in a wastebasket!”In spite of that childhood

trauma, I was encouraged re-cently when CBS News and Na-tional Public Radio reported onWeFood, a nonprofit business inCopenhagen, Denmark sellingfood with past-due sell-by datesand damaged packaging for asmuch as half-off the price postedat regular stores. WeFood seeksto target both low-income con-sumers and environmentally con-scious shoppers.WeFood is getting off to a good

start, but many people world-wide still have a misunderstand-ing of “sell by” dates. The datesindicate when the product is atits peak, but they can be edibleand nutritious much longer. It’snot like Cinderella’s carriageturning back into a pumpkin atthe stroke of midnight. If it were,Disney would already havetrademarked the process andgiven us “Country BotulismJamboree” rides and “HighSchool Cafeteria Musical: Mys-tery Meat’s Last Legs” TVmovies.Developments such as WeFood,

Boston’s Daily Table member-ship-only supermarket and theRockefeller Foundation’s $130million YieldWise initiativeshould get us all fired up to fightfood waste and feed the world’sundernourished. (According to

the United Nations, one-third ofall food produced around theworld for human consumption islost or wasted, even as nearlyone billion people worldwidelack enough food to lead ahealthy, active lifestyle.)

We Americans are way toofinicky about what we eat. Iwouldn’t be surprised if a bookclub met to discuss “The Diaryof Anne Frank,” and duringsnacktime someone lamented,“We’ve had to eat leftoversTWICE this month. Can youimagine anything worse?”

Our mood swings make us keepcramming food farther and far-ther back into the recesses of therefrigerator. The fridge some-times gets so bad that there’s afight over the stuff growing inthere and how many delegatesit’s entitled to.

We really need to get over our“Silly rabbit, Trix are for land-fills” mentality and crack downon the wasteful morons whochuckle, “Guess my eyes werebigger than my stomach.” Let’shave them saying, “Guess yourboot was bigger than my back-side. Ouch!”

Among the worst offenders arethe mothers who take theiryoungsters to the head of the lineat church socials or family re-unions and pile their plate withstuff they’ll never eat. Ah, themiracle of mommas: they canfeed the two with 5,000 loavesand fishes.

Perhaps more restaurants andsupermarkets can be convincedto overcome the logistical prob-lems and get excess food tohomeless shelters and foodbanks. Then they can re-fit theirold techniques to dealing withpoliticians who have gone waypast their shelf life.

“Hey, somebody threw me in adumpster and poured bleach onme! But, speaking as someonewho has run four unsuccessfulcampaigns for dog catcher, I de-mand to share my two centsworth with the candidates of2020. Ow, it burns!”

Liberals and their unintended consequences

If the law of unintended conse-quences was actually a law enactedby legislators, it would likely be of

no consequence at all. Unfortunatelyit’s a force of nature, not of man.When the government has exerted

force to raise the minimum wage byfiat outside of free markets, the resultis immediate higher unemploymentamong minimum wage earners.When seat belts went into effect, the

number of traffic accidents actuallyincreased. Economist Sam Peltzmandiscovered that total fatalities wereabout the same as before the seat beltlaw. But while the death rate for mo-torists decreased, there was a higherdeath rate among pedestrians and cy-clists hit by cars. Why? The seat beltgives drivers a false sense of extra se-curity, encouraging them to drivemore recklessly.This brings us to lawmakers who

have decided that banning plastic gro-cery bags or nudging people awayfrom using them by charging five orten cents per bag will save the occa-sional sea turtle from eating one,thinking it’s a jellyfish.It’s a lovely thought, isn’t it?Supporters of these bills will cite

thousands of bags menacing beachesand hyperopic fish. Good-hearted citi-zens will cheer and feel good about“doing something” to save the envi-ronment, then drive home past mas-sive, mostly hidden graveyards oftruck and car tires.La-de-dah.Depending upon your view, it’s ei-

ther unfortunate or no big deal thatthere’s a direct correlation to banningplastic bags and the deaths of morethan five people each year in a city thesize of San Francisco.According to a study by two univer-

sity professors, it’sactually 5.5 peoplein San Franciscowho die each yearas a direct resultof the groceryplastic bag ban.For some people,

that’s a fair tradefor potentially,possibly, maybesaving a turtle.San Francisco

has been leadingthe fight against

plastic bags. In 2007, the Environ-mental Department of the City of SanFrancisco reported plastics bags dis-tributed by retail stores account for0.6 percent of litter.Six tenths of one percent.A federal EPA study found plastic

bags make up four tenths of one per-cent of our country’s municipal wastestream.Four tenths of one percent.Back in 2013, Ramesh Ponnuru

noted news reports from around thecountry describing illnesses caused byreusable grocery bags.“A reusable grocery bag left in a

hotel bathroom caused an outbreak ofnorovirus-induced diarrhea and nau-sea that struck nine of 13 members ofa girls’ soccer team,” Ponnuru re-ported. “Researchers examinedreusable bags in California and Ari-zona and found that 51 percent ofthem contained coliform bacteria.”The most extensive study seems to

be that of University of PennsylvaniaProfessor Jonathan Klick and GeorgeMason University Professor JoshuaWright.They found that as soon as the ban

went into effect, emergency-room ad-

missions related to E. coli infectionsincreased in San Francisco. It’s theirstudy that estimates the ban is directlyresponsible for a 46 percent increasein deaths from foodborne illnesses.Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to

be any study measuring the number ofsea turtles saved per human death.The difference is that human deaths

are preventable if humans would justwash and disinfect their reusable bags.97 percent don’t.Huntington Beach, CA has rescinded

their plastic bag ban, realizing it’s just“token environmentalism” with noreal effect except more grocery storeprofits.One city council member said, “Our

ordinance has not had any positive,measurable impact on the environ-ment and has only caused headachesfor citizens and small businessesalike.”Delaware is considering the ill-con-

ceived notion of forcing grocerystores to charge five cents for everyplastic bag distributed.The danger is in having citizens be-

lieve they’re doing something positivewhen the opposite is true, giving thema false sense of accomplishment or se-curity, like gun buy-backs.Perhaps this is to be presumed in a

state run by Democrats who thinkthey’re so awesome that they havesponsored legislation extending theirterms in the state house and state sen-ate by two years.Americans who would actually like

term limits, not extensions, are obvi-ously not currently living the life ofthe electoral elite.

When we talk about marriagetoday, it’s usually in con-nection with breakups,

wedding excess, or the victory ofLGBT advocates. For many, tradi-tional long-term unions are becomingas rare as a protest-free Oscars cere-mony.Most of the marriages that have

withstood the test of time are theones in our family photo albums, hid-den from the public glare of klieglights. My grandparents had that sortof relationship, the 30 years of livingtogether and raising a family and theremaining 17 of my grandmother’swidowhood when she never looked atanother man. Her heart had space foronly one soul mate.My parents repeated that history: 22

years together and then the 32 addi-tional years my mother lived, notalone, but coupled with daddy’s spirituntil her own death. My sister’s bestfriend’s mother and her husband haddecades together, a half-century, andare together again with God. The fewpublic faces that we have of true mar-ital devotion - Paul Newman andJoanne Woodward, Ossie Davis andRuby Dee, George and Barbara Bush- belong to another era.That’s what I thought of when I

learned that Nancy Reagan had died.Actually, my first thought - and I’m

sure many othersjoin me - was thatNancy and herRonnie were to-gether again. Ialso thought thatthis is as joyousfor her as it ismournful for us.Nancy was the

first lady of myyoung adulthood.She ushered in mypolitical awaken-ing, as I realized

for the first time that I was a Democ-rat in name only. She also taught methe power of the color red.And, for the first time, I saw re-

flected in her adoration for RonaldReagan the same dynamic that was atplay in the marriages I knew of per-sonally. Yes, I knew children of di-vorced parents. One of my relativeson my mother’s side was twice di-vorced; another two or three on myDad’s side were also on their secondrelationships. But the people closestto me had been lucky enough to findthe answer to their search early on intheir lives, and I was a beneficiary ofthat.Ironically, Nancy was Reagan’s sec-

ond wife, but if it weren’t for the factthat his first was an Oscar-winning

movie star whose career surpassedhis own, we’d remember only thissecond, enduring union.Nancy Reagan wasn’t big on policy.

Her unfortunate “Just Say No” cam-paign oversimplified the scourge ofaddiction. Her real mission was herhusband. She adored him with thekind of zeal that evangelicals reservefor God, and I do think Ronnie washer church, her true north, her faith.The look in her eyes when she gazedupon him was something out of thoseold Mass cards I used to collect as achild, with the heavenward gaze ofsaints.Some have written obituaries in

other terms. They’ve said there issomething wrong in turning your lifeover to your mate, and that awoman’s highest calling is to herself.We’ll just disagree on that, because

I believe that our engagement andconcern for others far exceeds, inmoral value, the elevation and inde-pendence of self.What we can agree on is that Nancy

is back in her Ronnie’s arms, and thatis the stuff of paradise.

complete stranger,” he said. “There are actuallynice people out there who want to help.”In addition, Marc Burnett, vice president of stu-

dent affairs at TTU, met with Seals on campusupon learning about his ordeal.“It was just a matter of us not being aware,” he

said. “He hadn’t come forward. “But once we found him, I just talked with him

about his situation. We offered him some assis-tance, including housing on campus the rest ofthe semester, but he said he had made otherarrangements.”Burnett said that while some students in similar

situations do occasionally approach the univer-sity for help, such as getting items from the foodpantry, many do not.“We don’t want any student to be in that posi-

tion,” he said. “If we’re aware, we offer as muchassistance as we can. Not only do we want to ed-ucate them, we want them to be able to get alongand do the things they need to do. That’s whatwe’re here for.”Burnett added that he’s glad Seals’ story ended

on a positive note as well as shed some light onthe issue of student homelessness.“We’ve even taken further steps to see if there

are any other students out there who may fit thatcategory in terms of not having the things theyneed to be here,” he said.Meanwhile, Seals said his lack of a vehicle lim-

its his opportunities to hold a job, but that’s a sit-uation he plans to remedy during spring andsummer breaks from school.Until then, it’s all about academics.

KNOXVILLE — U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.)was named Council Alumnus of the Year by the GreatSmoky Mountain Council of the Boy Scouts of Americafor applying skills and values he learned as a Boy Scoutthroughout his career.“Being a Boy Scout taught me about the outdoors and

what it means to be an American,” Alexander said. “Ihave put that love for the outdoors to work as a UnitedStates Senator, trying to protect the parks, keep the airclean and keep enough open space so that our childrenand grandchildren can enjoy the outdoors as I did.”Alexander received the Council Alumnus of the Year

Award at the Great Smoky Mountain Council’s annualvolunteer dinner in Knoxville. The award, the National Scouting Alumni Association’s

highest council recognition, recognizes alumni of theBoy Scouts of America who have used the skillsets andvalues they learned through Scouting to make significantand long-lasting contributions to their communitythroughout their career.The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America au-

thorized the award last year, and Alexander is the GreatSmoky Mountain Council’s first recipient.Alexander praised the Great Smoky Mountain Council

for its work in providing boys and girls in grades 3-12with fun and exciting opportunities in science, technol-ogy, engineering and mathematics. The STEM Scoutsprogram encourages youth to engage in STEM activitiesthat will translate into STEM-related careers that are cru-cial to our country’s future economy. The Great Smoky Mountain Council served over 300

STEM Scouts in its first year, and by the end of 2015,there were 793 Scouts in the program with membershipcontinuing to grow.“Last year, the Senate education committee that I chair

passed legislation to strengthen federal support forSTEM education at elementary and secondary schools,”Alexander said. “Teaching youth how to apply STEM to everyday life

and giving them opportunities to expand those experi-ences into a future career is important, and I commendthe Great Smoky Mountain Council for encouragingSTEM in a fun and creative way.”Alexander earned his Eagle Scout Award in 1954 as a

member of Troop 88 at New Providence PresbyterianChurch in Maryville. He was presented with the Distin-

Alexandernamed BoyScouts councilalumnus of year

Workshop helps in finding World War I ancestorsNASHVILLE — Local students and families wishing to know

more about their World War I ancestors now have an opportu-nity to do so.The Tennessee State Library and Archives is hosting a work-

shop April 2 geared toward helping people learn more aboutthose long-ago relatives, which represented more than one quar-ter of the country’s male population from the ages of 18 to 31during that time.According to the National Archives, about 2 million Americans

served overseas during the conflict from 1914-1918. That meansmany Americans have ancestors who fought during World WarI.Library and Archives’ director of public services Gordon Belt

will lead the workshop from 9:30-11 a.m. He will use a casestudy from his own family history to retrace the march of Ten-nesseans to the war’s front lines.The workshop will be held in the Library and Archives audi-

torium, which is located at 403 Seventh Avenue North, directlywest of the State Capitol building in downtown Nashville.Although the event is free and open to the public, reservations

are required due to limited seating in the auditorium. To register, visit tennesseegreatwar.eventbrite.com. Free park-

ing is available around the Library and Archives building.

Tips offeredto makeschool lunchhealthier

The benefits of a healthydiet are clear and well docu-mented. In addition to pro-viding the nutrients agrowing body needs, con-suming a balanced diet helpschildren maintain a healthyweight. Obesity continues to be a

growing problem amongschool-aged children and cancontribute to the onset oftype 2 diabetes, heart disease,high cholesterol, and manyother adverse medical condi-tions. Children attendingschool will eat at least onemeal away from home eachday. A healthy lunch providessound nutrition to give stu-dents energy to do well inschool and for the rest of theday. Children who do not eatwell at lunch may have diffi-culty concentrating, whileothers may feel sluggish ortired. As part of the 2010 Healthy,

Hunger-Free Kids Act, theUnited States NationalSchool Lunch Program wasrevised to guarantee healthy,nutritionally sound choices,as established by the U.S.Department of Agriculture,for lunch. America’s school menus

were altered to be healthierthan ever, including morefruits and vegetables whilelimiting calories. Despitesome controversy through theyears, including some stu-dents saying the smaller por-tions and food choices aren’talways satisfying, states suf-fering from high child obe-sity rates have seen markedimprovements.Canada is one of the few

leading industrialized coun-tries that does not have a na-tional nutrition strategy toimplement healthy schoollunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to

15 percent of Canadian chil-dren have access to schoolmeals. These meals are notprovided by a well-fundednational program, but by apatchwork of individual vol-unteer efforts, some provin-cial government funding andcorporate donations. Whetherstudents purchase lunch fromschool or bring lunch fromhome, there are ways to guar-antee a more diverse offeringand better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to

follow.

• Offer nutrient-densefoods. Foods should con-tribute to the daily recom-mended amounts of protein,iron, calcium, vitamin A, andvitamin C. Provide a selec-tion of foods, such as leanprotein, whole grains, fruits,and vegetables, that will givechildren the nutrients theyneed. Nutrient-dense foodsalso help kids feel fuller,longer.• Limit fat intake. Avoid

foods that do not get their fatfrom polyunsaturated andmonounsaturated fats. Satu-rated fats can lead to obesityand clogged arteries. TheAmerican Heart Associationrecommends kids get nomore than 25 to 35 percent oftheir calories from fat. Fish,nuts and olives are healthyfat sources.• Let kids choose some of

their food. Allow kids to picksome of the healthy foodsthey will be eating. Givingkids a say in their diets willmake them more likely toenjoy their lunches and cutback on snack foods. Eatingmeals regularly will keep en-ergy levels up during schooland make kids less likely toreach for unhealthy snacks tofill hunger gaps.• Make small changes that

add up. Switching from whitebread to whole grain breads,and opting for low-fat dairyproducts instead of full-fatdairy products can make aworld of difference. Kidsmay not notice a change intexture or flavor, and manyof kids’ favorite foods, suchas chicken nuggets, pizza andmacaroni and cheese, can bemade with healthier ingredi-ents.• Remember, beverages

count, too. Giving children ahealthy lunch and then pack-ing a sugar-filled, high-calo-rie drink negates your efforts.Calories from beverages canquickly add up. Water is al-ways the best option for ahealthy drink. Low-fat milkand real fruit juice consumedin moderation also makehealthy alternatives to sugarybeverages.Offering healthy school

lunches is an important stepto raising healthy kids. Newguidelines and offeringsmake it easier for kids to getthe nutrition they need fortheir growing bodies.

Education experts are well versed inthe benefits of students staying in schooland graduating. Career opportunities aregreater for those with diplomas, andmuch emphasis has been placed on im-proving school graduation rates. Data compiled by National Public

Radio revealed that stepping in early tokeep a student on track can pay off downthe road. It is believed that warningsigns that predict a child’s chance ofgraduating high school may surface asearly as the first grade.

Many have dubbed these signs ABCs,

for Attendance, Behavior and Class-work. There has been a growing demand for

school systems to develop warning indi-cators for students in elementary school,according to researchers leading earlywarning and dropout prevention work at

the American Institutes for Research.Students with poor attendance records;behavior issues, including meeting withthe principal or getting suspended; andwho continually fail or do not performwell in the classroom may be morelikely to drop out of school at an early

age. It should be noted that ABCs are only

one measure of a child’s potential grad-uation rate. But early intervention byteachers, coaches or tutors may helpsteer students down different, more suc-cessful paths.

Early intervention keeps students on track toward graduation

Photography: Learning new skills for fun, profit

Ijoined the Cookeville Camera Clubthree years ago and it opened up awhole new world for me. I had pur-

chased a new camera and didn’t under-stand what it could do, but the club had aclass that helped immensely. Most of theclass participants had DSLR (digital sin-gle-lens reflex) cameras and I didn’t, butthe members were very eager and willing

to help me with myparticular low-endcamera. There contin-ues to be an attitude ofhelping other membersimprove their photog-raphy, whether it belighting, composition,or editing. This hasbeen invaluable to meas the owner-designerof a small web designcompany.My husband and I

have recently started aplant nursery and I doall the printed materialwhich includes pic-

tures of what a buyer can expect theirnewly purchased plant to look like. Oh, itis so tempting to copy some of the wonder-ful pictures I see of plants on some of thenursery sites! But, you know what? Thatwould be stealing someone else’s property,something they have spent time and efforton. Maybe they have spent a lot of timeand money over the years to get to thatlevel of photography expertise. Many ofthe photos are copyrighted and it is down-right illegal to copy them and use them, es-pecially if you are going to use them forcommercial purposes. Even though itmight not be illegal to copy pictures thataren’t copyrighted, it certainly is not ethi-cal. In short, if you want to use a picturethat is on the internet, ask for permission todo so.Now this brings me to my present prob-

lem of obtaining the photos I need. Sincemost of our plants are young, or even dor-mant, it is not possible for me to take greatpictures in February or before our plantsare blooming. One avenue to explore is topurchase stock photos. As a web designer Iam very familiar with that and use stockphotos for newsletters and occasionally forwebsites. There are a number of agenciesonline that sell stock photography (as wellas videos and illustrative content). Thesestock images are graphic content that hasbeen submitted by photographers andartists whose work has been judged to beof professional quality. You might thinkthat this is an expensive way to go, but itisn’t. It gets more expensive though if youare going to use them for magazines, bill-boards, and such. For my use, I have neverpaid over $2 for a photo.Unfortunately, I can’t find many stock

photos that I can use for the nursery busi-

ness. One reason is that I want to be surethat the picture is an accurate representa-tion of a particular variety of plant and Ican’t know that without knowing the scien-tific name, and the stock photos don’t givethe scientific name of plants.Well, this leads me back to square one.

You might see me around town this springwhen the dogwoods, forsythias, and saucermagnolias bloom. I will be looking forgreat plants that people have in their yardsand I will ask for their permission beforephotographing their pride and joys. Andwhat a great way to meet people!

UP: As your friend may proba-bly be already aware, abusedoesn’t stay at the same level. Itcan escalate from verbal abuseto pushing and slapping to seri-ous physical harm and some-times even death.

Trainedadvocates at the hotline havetold me that not every caller willleave after the first — or eventhe second — episode of vio-lence, but at least she will knowwhat she needs to do. If she comes to you injured,

get her to an emergency roomfor treatment and so that herwounds can be photographed. Ifshe shows up at work withbruises, it’s time to talk tohuman resources to see if youcan get her some help, but I

would not advise contacting herhusband’s employer.

Words about wordsBy WAYNE HOGAN

Special to the HERALD-CITIZEN

There’s the word “myrme-cophagous.” Know what itmeans? Ever heard of it? Can

you use it in a sentence? And “gynan-dromorphistic” and “saladenicoise” and“tarsometatarsus” and “epithalamium”andcetera, etc., likewise ditto. Words.Big words.

Words of many syllables. Unexperi-enced words. Strange-looking, hard-to-spell-or-pronounce words. A wholemountain of such words my Webster’sNew World Dictionary: Third CollegeEdition has a lot of.

Where do these kinds of words comefrom? Who uses these kinds of wordsto what end? If a vigorously method-ologically-sound sampling of the entireNorth American population were taken,what likely percentage of those polledwould have the slightest idea what anyof these linguistic missiles stand for —

no more than 10 percent? 5 to 10 per-cent? 1 percent? 0 percent?Most would probably agree that word-

language was invented to perform onespecific human function — the commu-nication of feelings and thoughts of oneor more persons to one or more otherpersons, and that this function is heav-ily dependent upon all concerned hav-ing a commonly agreed-uponunderstanding of each word’s meaning.A basic anthropological-sociological

premise is that the very survival of thehuman species is dependent upon eachindividual feeling that they’re an ac-cepted, working part of the larger popu-lation pool. Without that bonding social cement,

humanity would be but a number ofseparately functioning individuals, butnot for long. There’d be no families, notribes, no communities, no societies, noculturally/linguistically assimilated na-tion-states, no (sob-sob) Democrats, or(sob-sob) Republicans (no human-hu-

mans at all, since to be human is toshare the phenomenon of language withother would-be humans), just individ-ual “somethings” running around likechickens with their heads chopped off.There’d be very little need for eitherthe anthropologists (sob-sob) or (sob-sob) the sociologists. (Me being the de-frocked sociologist I am, it’s for the“little need” for sociologists that I’dmaybe sob-sob the most.)If we’re right in guessing that but the

tiniest fraction of our linguisticallyaligned society has any inkling even ofthe existence of many big, long, exotic,multi-syllabled, unexperienced wordsrunning rampant in our dictionaries, butthat even so we socially-bonded indi-viduals have nevertheless managedpassably well for who-knows-how-many thousands/millions of years tocommunicate reasonably effectivelywith our brethren, then why-o-why dowe need these big, long, exotic, multi-syllabled, unexperienced words that so

riddle our dictionary-defined vocabu-lary? Are they so the few may holdthemselves above the many, and thusbe acting counter to the ultimate “com-monizing” function of language itself?Myrmecophagous.” “Gynadromor-

phistic.” “Saladenicious.” “Tar-sometatarsus.” “Epithalamiums.” Whoknows ‘em? Who can spell ‘em? Whocan pronounce ‘em? Who can use ‘emin a sentence? Who needs ‘em? “And.”“If.” “But.” “Or.” “To (and too andtwo).” We know ‘em. We can spell andpronounce ‘em. We can use ‘em in asentence. Over thousands/millions ofyears our species has managed passablywell with such limited linguistic basicsas these. Do we really need “myrme-

cophagous” and such like? Ain’t “and,”“if,” “but,” “to (and too and two),” andsuch like good enough for us?Shouldn’t they likely keep our speciesgoing at least another year or two, moreor less?

‘Spring Break for nerds’ kicks off in AustinBy MAE ANDERSON

AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The smell ofBBQ is in the air and talk about virtualreality, online privacy and the latest hotapps is on everyone’s minds. It’s timeagain for South by Southwest Interac-tive, an annual tech festival dubbed“Spring Break for nerds.”

The five-day festival, which kicked offFriday in Austin, Texas, is more free-wheeling than other tech conferenceslike CES in Las Vegas and Mobile WorldCongress in Barcelona, Spain. It’s whereSt. Bernards delivering Mophie smart-phone chargers to festival goers — as thecharger maker arranged last year — cangarner as much buzz as the apps broughtto fame there, including Foursquare in2009 and Twitter in 2007.

“It’s an interesting place to see whattypes of things are bubbling up in tech-nology,” said Ryan Hoover, founder ofProduct Hunt, a service for people to ratenew tech products. “It has this mixtureor collision of technology and entertain-ment. When different types of minds andpeople are connecting together, newideas come out.”

The festival has grown larger and morecorporate over the years, with sponsorsincluding McDonald’s and Samsung, butit still draws an eclectic crowd of moversand shakers in the tech industry eachyear.

This year’s sessions include one on afuturistic transportation system, Hyper-loop Transportation Technologies, whichaims to move people in a capsule insidean enclosed tube track at 760 miles perhour — faster than commercial airliners.

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone will dis-cuss the evolution of online search, while“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” direc-tor J.J. Abrams and “The Jinx” directorAndrew Jarecki will tout Jarecki’s newapp for video editing and sharing,KnowMe.

Even President Obama will make anappearance, the first for a U.S. presidentat the festival. He plans to talk aboutcivic engagement with the editor-in-chief of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofitnews outlet based in Austin.

Ethan Kurzweil, a Bessemer venturecapitalist who has attended the festivalfor eight years, said that while South by

Southwest Interactive is no longer the lit-tle-known yet influential festival it oncewas, “you can still hear people talkingabout the very-bleeding-edge consumertech trends.”South by Southwest Interactive is part

of the larger SXSW festival, which alsofeatures sections for movies, music andgames over 10 days. The interactive con-ference drew 33,825 registrants frommore than 80 countries last year; thecombined festival had about 80,000.Organizers drew criticism several

months ago when, faced with threats,

they canceled two panels on harassmentin online video games. In response, thefestival will hold a daylong “online ha-rassment summit” on Saturday, with aslate of panels examining the problem ofonline harassment.Another hot topic will be the U.S. gov-

ernment’s demands that Apple create asoftware program to bypass security fea-tures in an iPhone used by one of the SanBernardino mass shooters. One panelwill focus on ways to improve the rela-tionship between the government and thetech industry, while preserving privacy

and security.And virtual reality will continue to gar-

ner buzz, particularly as many systemssuch as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and SonyPlaystation VR are expected to hit themarket this year. Some sessions will bepart of the SXSW gaming festival, whichruns March 17 to 19. But the interactivefestival will have such panels as “Holylight field! Creating lifelike presence inVR.” And Samsung will show off VRchairs that offer motion simulation aspeople wear Samsung’s $100 VR head-set, Gear VR.

Infamous W.K. Henderson returns to CookevilleBy BOB MCMILLAN

HERALD-CITIZEN Staff

Looking back in history, herewere some of the happenings inthe Cookeville area for the weekof March 13-19, as recorded inthe pages of the Herald-Citizen

1935The infamous W.K. Henderson

was in Cookeville this week. Thenewspaper commented, “Fortu-nately for Cookeville, Mr. Hen-derson didn’t stay long and hedidn’t say when he’ll be back.”Just a year or so again, Hender-

son, owner of a Shreveport, La.,radio station, launched a nationalcampaign to put chain stores andmail order houses out of busi-ness. Hundreds of grocerymenand dry goods store owners con-tributed to Henderson’s “warchest.”Then, to their dismay, they

learned that Henderson hadtaken the money and opened hisown mail order coffee business.He apparently somehow escapedprosecution and now travels ex-tensively.Eastern Airlines mail pilot Paul

Charles was blown 100 miles offcourse in a storm and found him-self over Putnam County thisweek, late in the night, and per-ilously low on fuel.He buzzed the town, trying to

get someone’s attention for help.Service station operator ClarenceStone heard him. So did Comer

Cannon, Harry Emory and BillieChapin. Stone and the othergroup rushed separately to theairfield north of town.

In the dark, Stone built a fire tolight the landing field. Mean-while, the other trio lined thestrip with their cars and turnedtheir headlights on. Just beforedawn, Charles landed his biplanesafely.

1941A nine-year-old boy, Everett

Grider, was burned this weektrying to save his father’s wagon.

The family rode the wagon totown from their home four milessouth of town and parked it nearthe town stockyards, leavingEverett there to watch his twoyoung brothers.

An unidentified youth rode bythe wagon on a bicycle andtossed in a lit match. Hay in thebottom of the wagon blazed up.The boy snatched out his twobrothers, and then tired to savethe wagon, badly burning hislegs and hands in the process.

He is expected to heal com-pletely. Meanwhile, police chiefX.B. Haynie is investigating thefire. He says he’s learned that the

same wagon was set afire nearthe same spot three weeks ago.Former Cookeville resident

Robert E. Lee died this week ofa heart attack at his home inColumbus, Miss. He was 66.He moved to Cookeville as a

boy and grew up here, becominga traveling gravel salesman. Hehad been living in Mississippifor the past 20 years.He was the son of Capt. and

Mrs. Zeb P. Lee. Needless to say,his father was a Confederate vet-eran. (March 13, 1941)

1946Hugh Smith Hargis, 72, the

Peter Frampton on that crazy summer 40 years agoBy MARK KENNEDY

AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s been 40years since Peter Frampton’s life wasturned upside down — in a good, crazyway.The former Humble Pie member was

enjoying some modest success as asolo artist when he followed the then-conventional wisdom and followed uphis four studio albums with a doublelive album.That’s when all hell broke loose.“Be careful what you wish for,” says

Frampton now with a rueful smile.Within a month of its January 1976

release, the album “Frampton ComesAlive!” was in the Top 10 and gettingstronger as the weather warmed. Hespent a record 17 weeks at the top ofthe charts, thanks to the singles “ShowMe the Way,” ‘’Baby, I Love YourWay” and the 14-minute “Do You FeelLike We Do,” with its distinctive dis-torted vocal effect.

One day, his man-ager called andasked if he was sit-ting down.“I said, ‘Yeah.’

He said, ‘Well,you’ve just madehistory. It’s theb i g g e s t - s e l l i n galbum of all time.You’ve just beatenCarole King’s ‘Ta-

pestry’ record,’” Frampton said.“That’s when I got nervous and a little

bit anxious because to have the No. 1album was unbelievable. I mean, Inever, ever thought that I could ap-proach that. But then to hear that, that’ssort of surreal.”

The English-born Frampton, now 65,is celebrating that crazy summer witha new release, “Acoustic Classics,” aCD of stripped-down versions of hisbest-known songs that includes onenew tune, “All Down to Me.” Hewanted his beloved songs to sound

fresh and intimate, as if they were writ-ten the night before.“I was very pleased that the songs

held up,” said the singer-guitarist.“Very early on, I learned that you canhave a great band, you can have a greatproducer, great studio, everything canbe right, but if you don’t have greatsongs, you’ve got nothing.”After the monster success of the 1976

live album, the singer’s big hair andgood looks led his record company torepackage him as a pop star. His nextalbum was rushed, against his objec-tions, and didn’t do as well. Nothingcould.“I’ve learned that a pop star’s career

is about 18 months but a musician’s ca-reer lasts a lifetime. I kind of morphed— as quickly as I could — into a mu-sician,” he said. “It was a crazy pe-riod.”Gordon Kennedy, a Nashville, Ten-

nessee-based songwriter and musicianwho has written songs for Eric Clap-ton, Garth Brooks and Ricky Skaggs,

has worked with Frampton for 16years. He calls him “above everythingelse, this ferocious musician.”“He is a guy who, in some ways, had

to overcome his own image. And itwasn’t an image that he necessarilycreated,” said Kennedy. “All the while,he’s just wanting to play guitar.”Over the years, Frampton acted a lit-

tle — he had a part in “Almost Fa-mous” and mocked himself in Geicoads — and worked with George Harri-son and toured with old friend DavidBowie, whom he had known since hewas 12.Bowie, who invited Frampton on his

Glass Spider Tour, was a mentor. “Forall of us, we’ve lost a genius, a one-of-a-kind.

He taught so many people how toredirect your career — including me,”Frampton said.Redemption came in 2007 when

Frampton’s instrumental album “Fin-gerprints” won a Grammy Award, hisfirst. “I was speechless at that time be-

cause it meant so much to me to getthat vote of confidence as a player,” hesaid.“Over the last few years — since

‘Fingerprints’ — things kind of spedup. There’s more demand for me outthere live. I’ve been working reallywell every year. It’s fantastic becauseI love to play live.”Frampton these days lives in

Nashville, Tennessee, and is father tofour kids, the youngest a college stu-dent at 19. He’s come to terms with thealbum that defined his career.“When I kick the bucket, the first sen-

tence will be, ‘known for the livealbum ‘Frampton Comes Alive!’ Iknow that,” he said. He also knowshow beloved his songs are, especially“Baby, I Love Your Way.”“I have actually met children con-

ceived to that song,” he said, laughing.“It was a very personal song to me andmade me realize the more personal youmake it, the more everybody else cansee that in themselves.”

Feds invest nearly $7M in smallbusiness to boost clean tech

By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYANAssociated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The federalgovernment is investing nearly $7 million in 33small businesses across the country to build part-nerships with national laboratories in hopes ofspeeding up development of clean energy technol-ogy, the U.S. Department of Energy announcedThursday.The selected businesses represent only a fraction

of the hundreds that applied to participate in thefirst round of a new small business voucher pilotproject. They represent 20 different states and willbe working with nine national labs.As part of the pilot, another $13 million in vouch-

ers will be awarded to small businesses in subse-quent rounds, and officials have asked for a budgetincrease for the next fiscal year to expand the proj-ect.Dave Danielson, an assistant secretary with the

Energy Department, said the nation’s labs are sci-ence powerhouses that have cutting-edge super-computers, high-tech laser facilities and some ofthe most brilliant minds on the planet — all strate-gic advantages that the U.S. has in the global raceto develop clean energy technologies.“But if we really want to accelerate our transition

to a low-carbon economy, we have to accelerate theprocess of lab technology reaching the market and

help our labs to collaborate with the private sector,”Danielson said during a conference call with re-porters.

That’s where the small businesses come in.Aside from bringing game-changing technology

to the market faster, he said the Department of En-ergy is looking to double the number of small busi-nesses that are working with the national labs overthe next year.

The small businesses can use the vouchers —anywhere from $50,000 to $300,000 — to do col-laborative research with the labs or to seek lab as-sistance. That could include working on prototypesor validating innovations that the businesses havealready developed.

The focus will be on advanced manufacturing,building and vehicle technologies, fuels cells anda range of renewable energy sources.

The project also will boost economic develop-ment around the country, supporters say.

At Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque,Santa Fe, New Mexico-based iBeam Materials wasamong the businesses to show off their work Thurs-day. iBeam is developing new LED products forlighting, displays and wearable electronics.

Other labs participating in the first round includethe National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Col-orado, Lawrence Berkeley in California, OakRidge in Tennessee and the Pacific Northwest labin Washington.

Pre-paid card users, underscrutiny, find tax refunds frozenPHOENIX (AP) — Thousands of people have

had their prepaid debit cards frozen when theytry to direct their tax refund to their accounts, aresult of financial industry efforts to combat anescalation in tax fraud.It’s keeping people from their money, and de-

laying access to much-anticipated tax refunds.People who rely on prepaid debit card accountsare often poorer Americans who don’t have tra-ditional bank accounts.Shannon King had her money frozen for two

weeks. She had planned to use it for car repairsand to help pay for a move, both of which thenhad to be delayed. “It was very frustrating,” Kingsaid.King has a Walmart MoneyCard, which is run

by Green Dot. She said after her refund was de-posited, Green Dot froze the card and asked herto send a picture of her Tennessee state identifi-cation card to verify the account. The process torelease the money took more than two weeks, shehad to submit photos of her ID a number of times— Green Dot said they weren’t readable — andshe says she spent hours on the phone with cus-tomer service agents to resolve the problem.The Associated Press reviewed documents sent

to Green Dot by King, including her ID picture,and they appeared clear.Prepaid debit card companies Green Dot, Net-

Spend and others say the problems are the resultof tighter fraud protection measures. Both GreenDot and Walmart have apologized, but empha-sized the measures were there to protect their cus-tomers.“We’re working with the company to ensure

that any customer service issues are resolved asquickly as possible,” a spokeswoman for Wal-mart said.The card companies, along with the IRS, are

trying to stem a tide of tax fraud by identitythieves. Criminals file bogus tax returns usingother people’s identities, claim a refund and col-lect the money. Many people do not know theyare a victim until they try to file a legitimate re-turn and are unable to.The fraudsters often use prepaid debit cards to

pull off their scams because the accounts can berelatively anonymous.For example, in 2012 a Miami man was sen-

tenced to five years in prison and three additionalyears of probation for filing nearly 500 fraudulent

tax returns. Instead of having the refunds de-posited in a bank or mailed, he had them elec-tronically deposited to prepaid debit cards,including Green Dot, and gift cards. When hewas arrested, prosecutors say the man had 11Wal-Mart money cards loaded with more than$32,000 from fraudulent returns.Tax and wage-related fraud was the most com-

mon form of identity theft reported to the FTC in2015. It’s on the rise — about 45 percent of theidentity theft complaints to the FTC last yearwere tax or wage-related, up from 33 percent in2014 and 30 percent in 2013.The IRS says tax-related identity theft is one of

its biggest challenges. In 2015, it stopped 1.4 mil-lion confirmed identity theft returns, totaling $8.7billion. For criminals, the IRS makes for a quick,easy score: the IRS processes most returns in lessthan 21 days, and the average refund was $2,797last year.To combat the problem, the IRS held a security

summit last year with states and tax-industry rep-resentatives to find ways to solve the problem to-gether. As a result, efforts to fight fraud haveintensified this year and banks and other prepaiddebit card companies are tightening their protec-tions.The IRS and other industry representatives

would not say if account delays or freezes wererequested or required. But the IRS did say that itis working with banks and debit card issuers toobtain information that would be helpful in de-tecting and preventing fraud.Green Dot estimates that 9,000 customers have

had their accounts blocked this season, represent-ing 0.2 percent of their customers. NetSpend, thesecond largest issuer, said they also have beenfreezing accounts, but declined to give a numberimpacted. American Express, which issues a pre-paid debit card known as American ExpressServe, also said it has been stepping up fraud pro-tection measures.A spokeswoman with American Express said

customers can minimize the chances of beingflagged for fraud by making sure their personalidentification information on the accountmatches the information on their tax forms. AndJackson Hewitt, which uses American Expresscards for its customers, requires two forms of IDto receive a prepaid bank product to help cutdown on fraud.

Amazon leases 20 jets tobuild out logistics networkNEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is taking to the

skies.The e-commerce powerhouse has finalized an

agreement to lease 20 Boeing jets from Air Trans-port Services Group Inc. as it builds out its U.S. de-livery capabilities.Amazon has been investing heavily in its shipping

infrastructure, adding sorting centers, which sortpackages by zip code and deliver them to post of-fices. And it has started to roll out thousands oftrucks to speed up package delivery from its ware-houses to the sorting centers.Amazon says the goal is not to compete with

package delivery carriers such as FedEx Corp. andUPS but work on improving its own logistics tooffer faster delivery for customers as well as pro-viding shipping services for third-party sellers onthe site, a service called Fulfilled by Amazon. Ama-zon’s $99 annual Prime loyalty program offers freetwo-day shipping on many items.Air Transport Services said the company had been

working on the agreement with Amazon since last

summer.Amazon will lease 20 747 freighter jets. The 20

leases are for five to seven years. The agreementfor the operation of the aircraft will be for fiveyears.

Amazon is also taking a stake in the Wilmington,Ohio-based company. It will get warrants to buyduring a five-year period up to 19.9 percent of thecompany’s shares at $9.73 per share.

Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president ofworldwide operations and customer service, saidin an emailed statement that the agreement willhelp supplement its existing delivery network andensure the company has the air cargo capacity tosupport one- and two-day delivery for its cus-tomers.

Shares of Air Transport Services jumped 17 per-cent to close at $13.73. Earlier the stock reached$14.90, an all-time high. Amazon.com Inc. sharesdipped 79 cents to $559.47. Shares of FedEx andUPS both edged down about 1 percent, to $141.98and $99.56, respectively.

consider a 5/1 adjustable loanif I’m buying a house andplan to pay it off in fiveyears?AnonymousDear Anonymous: No! The

reason is you can never beassured that you’re going topay it off in five years. If yougo into it with that mindset,then you’re basically sayingyou can predict the futurewill be exactly how you wantit to be. That’s pretty naïve.Your future will never bewhat you think it will be. It’seither going to be better orworse, but your future willnever turn out exactly theway you plan for it to be.If you can’t buy a home

with cash, you need the sta-bility of a 15-year, fixed ratemortgage in your life. We’reliving in the lowest mortgageinterest rate environment inabout 50 years. I saw a 3.02percent 15-year fixed ratemortgage just the other day.For those of you who have

not refinanced, if you’re stay-ing in your home or you’resitting on an adjustable rate,this is a great time to changethat. Still, people are sittingaround yawning like thesekinds of rates are going to bearound forever. It’s gone onfor a while now, but don’t letthat fool you into thinkingthose kinds of rates are nor-mal. They’re not going to lastforever. No, I would never under

any circumstances take anadjustable rate mortgage.Was that unclear? I hope not!

Judge weighswoman’s request toquit TrumpUniversity suit

By ELLIOT SPAGATAssociated Press

SAN DIEGO (AP) — TarlaMakaeff has fought DonaldTrump in court for six years.

Now, asthe Repub-lican presi-d e n t i a lfront-run-ner and hislawyers tryto portraythe South-ern Cali-f o r n i ayoga in-structor as

the face of a federal class-ac-tion lawsuit against TrumpUniversity, she wants out.On Friday, U.S. District

Judge Gonzalo Curiel consid-ered Makaeff’s request towithdraw from a lawsuit thatsays Trump University semi-nars and instruction fleecedstudents with unfilled prom-ises to teach the secrets of realestate success. Her attorneyssay Trump and his lawyershave put her “through thewringer.”Trump called her a “horrible,

horrible witness” at a rally inArkansas last month. On socialmedia this week, his one-wordcharacterization of her requestto withdraw — “Disgraceful!”— was retweeted more than3,200 times.Trump’s attorneys say the

lawsuit should be dismissed ifMakaeff is allowed to with-draw, arguing that their trialstrategy centers on her. Theyidentify her as “the criticalwitness.”Makaeff’s attorneys say

Trump’s argument that theirclient is indispensable to thebillionaire’s defense “is illogi-cal to the point of being nearlyincomprehensible.” They notethe judge allowed two plain-tiffs to withdraw last year;three others would remain.Makaeff didn’t imagine she

would be subjected to criti-cism under the glare of a pres-idential campaign, her

attorneys say. She has been de-posed for a total of nearly 16hours and suffered anxietyabout finances after Trumpsued her for defamation, seek-ing $1 million.Makaeff eventually prevailed

on the defamation claim, and ajudge ordered Trump last yearto pay $798,779 in her legalfees.The skirmish in one of three

lawsuits against Trump Uni-versity comes as the case nearstrial, possibly this summer. Atrial date has not been set, buta final pretrial conference isscheduled for May 6 andTrump appears on a list of de-fense witnesses who may tes-tify at the trial.Makaeff attended a three-day

“Fast Track to Foreclosure”workshop for $1,495 in 2008and later enrolled in the“Trump Gold Elite” programfor $34,995, spending a totalof about $60,000 on seminarsin a year, her attorneys say. InApril 2010, she sued in SanDiego federal court.Trump’s attorneys wrote that

Makaeff gave the instructionhigh marks in surveys and“simply did not put in the time,work, and perseverance neces-sary to achieve success.”Makaeff’s attorneys say the

yoga instructor was unawareof Trump’s “false advertising”when she completed the sur-veys and didn’t want to riskalienating anyone who mightadvance her career.The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of

Appeals sided with Makaeffon the surveys when consider-ing Trump’s defamation claimin 2013, saying, “As the recentPonzi-scheme scandals involv-ing onetime financial luminar-ies like Bernard Madoff andAllen Stanford demonstrate,victims of con artists oftensing the praises of their victim-izers until the moment they re-alize they have been fleeced.”Reminded of the Madoff

comparison during a recent de-bate, Trump said, “Give me abreak. You know what? Let’ssee what happens in court.”

McDonald’s trial gives peek atchain’s inner workings

By CANDICE CHOIAP Food Industry Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A pivotal trial against Mc-Donald’s that began this week is providing a peekinto the inner workings of the maker of the BigMac.

The trial centers over whether McDonald’s ex-erts control over hiring and pay decisions for em-ployees at restaurants run by its U.S. franchises.The National Labor Relations Board contends thecompany does, and should be considered a “jointemployer” along with franchisees.

Such a finding would be historic because itwould make McDonald’s liable for the labor prac-tices at its more than 14,000 domestic restaurants— 90 percent of which are franchised. And itcould open a path to unionization for workers bygiving labor groups a centralized target in Mc-Donald’s Corp., rather than a patchwork of morethan 3,000 franchisees.

The trial stems from cases filed around the coun-try on behalf of workers who said they were sub-ject to retaliation or other unfair labor practicesfor taking part in protests and strikes as part oftheir campaign for an hourly wage of $15, as wellas for union representation. The push is beingbacked by the Service Employees InternationalUnion, and has made low wages a hot politicalissue.

It’s expected to be a protracted legal fight, withappeals likely from the losing side in court. Hereare some insights into McDonald’s from the open-ing statements this week in New York:

“HIRING TO WIN”McDonald’s Corp. has an internal program

called “Hiring to Win” that grades job applicantsas “green,” ‘’yellow” or “red.” The program wasone of many examples cited by Jamie Rucker, alawyer for the labor board, as evidence of the con-trol that McDonald’s exerts over labor decisionsat franchised restaurants. Joseph Hirsch, a lawyerfor McDonald’s franchisees in Philadelphia, saidfranchisees suffer no consequences whether theyuse the program or not.

“20 to 25 SECONDS”McDonald’s has a manual describing the various

tasks that need to be handled in restaurants, anddetails the speed with which they should be per-formed, Rucker said. Taking a customer’s order,for instance, is supposed take 20 to 25 seconds.

Lawyers for franchisees said setting such stan-dards is part of the franchising model.Richard Brody, a lawyer for New York fran-

chisees, said McDonald’s needs to protect itsimage and deliver on the expectations people havewhen they walk into one of its restaurants. Heasked the court to imagine ordering a Big Macthat came with no “special sauce.”“McDonald’s protects that brand like the mother

bear protects her cub,” Brody said.OPERATIONS CONSULTANTSMcDonald’s uses “operations consultants” to

continuously monitor franchisees, Rucker said.And he said franchisees can’t ignore what theysay, since the company has the power to terminatetheir franchise agreements.William Goldsmith, a lawyer for McDonald’s

Corp., said it’s possible that the board might finda couple operations consultants who did or saidsomething that “crossed the lines between adviceand direction.”But Goldsmith said that was expected given the

size of the organization, and that such transgres-sions do not amount to McDonald’s controllingfranchisees.SOFTWARE AND FORMSAn employee’s hours are determined by a dy-

namic shift scheduling program, Rucker said.Such programs are intended to tell managers theoptimal number of people they should have work-ing based on sales.Lawyers for McDonald’s and its franchisees said

the software is optional. They noted that such pro-grams don’t take into account factors such aswhether there is a local parade or nearby construc-tion. As such, franchisees can ignore whatever thesoftware recommends and do what they think isbest.As for various forms provided by McDonald’s,

one franchisee lawyer compared it to borrowinga book from a library. He said franchisees use Mc-Donald’s materials because they’re free and comefrom a reliable source, rather than having to payanother party for the help.McPAYRucker said McDonald’s offers a toolkit de-

signed to help franchisees determine wages to staycompetitive. In one case, he said McDonald’s tolda franchisee to bring down the wages for its em-ployees because they could be “disruptive” tonearby McDonald’s.

By THOMAS CORHERNHERALD-CITIZEN Assistant Sports Editor

MURFREESBORO — All the talk en-tering Friday’s Class AA girls semifinalwas the potential showdown betweenMiss Basketball finalists Akira Levyfrom Upperman and Jacobi Lynn fromMcMinn Central.While the attention was focused there,

it was Lady Bees junior Abby Green-wood who stole the show.Greenwood scored 19 points in Upper-

man’s 76-54 win over the Chargeretteson Friday at Middle Tennessee State’sMurphy Center, but it was her defensiveeffort against Lynn that helped leadUHS to the state championship game onSaturday.“That’s a great win,” said UHS head

coach Dana McWilliams. “McMinnCounty is a team with so much winningtradition, and we knew we were goingto have a fight. We struggled in the firsthalf and that had a lot to do with them.In the second half, we came out readyand I really thought the key was our de-fensive effort.”Upperman (35-2) will face East

Nashville in the Class AA title game at6 p.m. Saturday at Murphy Center.

It was all just a matter of everythingcoming together in the semifinal vic-tory.

“We knew we had shot the ball sopoorly on Thursday,” McWilliams said.“That’s not a typical stat for this team.We felt like things were going to look upfor us.”

Levy had another strong outing, scor-ing 22 points in the victory. She eclipsedthe 1,000-point mark in her career — asa sophomore at that — with her finalbasket of the contest with 3:15 remain-ing.

However, it was another start similar toThursday’s against Haywood County asthe Upperman sophomore spent much ofthe first quarter on the bench after col-lecting two quick fouls.

Levy smiled and said, “I’ve got to stopgetting into foul trouble.”

McWilliams added, “She knows she’sgoing to have to do a better job on that.She’s such an aggressive player and soexcited about the game, we’ve got toget her emotions in check early. Itseems like when she comes out in thesecond half, she’s in a better frame ofmind.”

Lynn also scored 22 points to leadMcMinn Central (31-3), going 7-for-15

from the field and 7-for-9 from the free-throw line.And for Greenwood to keep her there

took a monumental effort.“That is not an easy task,” McWilliams

said. “I felt like she had to work for allof those points. She got a couple of easybaskets late, but before that, she wasworking hard. Abby is our best defen-sive player. She’s always going to getthe tough assignment and she alwayscomes through for us.”Greenwood smiled, “It wasn’t easy.

She’s a really good player.”The game stayed close for most of the

first half. MCHS led 15-13 after the firstquarter, then Upperman outscored theChargerettes 21-15 in the second quarterto take a 34-30 lead at halftime.The Lady Bees then started to pull

away in the third quarter, outscoringMcMinn Central 26-14 in the third and16-10 in the fourth.Now, it’s on to the championship,

where Upperman has been before mostrecently in 1999 and 2001.“We know it’s going to be a tough bat-

tle on Saturday,” McWilliams said. “ButI know the girls are going to be focused,they’re going to work hard, and we wantto come home with the gold ball.”

half, yet still finished the game with 19points. Abby Greenwood picked up theslack and worked her way to 18 points.Gracie Maynord scored 13 once she wasable to find a rhythm beyond the arc. LexieStrickland pulled down eight rebounds, in-cluding some of the most impressiveboards of her career.Any other night, any other gym, those ef-

forts may just have been what was neededto bring home the trophy.But Saturday, against East Nashville, it

wasn’t to be.The Lady Eagles forced Upperman into

17 turnovers, a very uncharacteristic statfor the Lady Bees.“That’s the most we’ve had this season,”

McWilliams said. “We average less than10.East Nashville was also able to get to the

free-throw line for 29 shots, hitting 23. Up-perman was 9-for-15. That 14-point differ-ence equaled the final margin, but thatwasn’t the only factor.“They’re very athletic at every position,”

McWilliams said. “They have a lot of goodscorers and we ha just had a hard timekeeping them off the boards and off thefoul line.”Even Thursday’s win against Haywood

didn’t prepare Upperman for what it sawon Saturday.Haywood was good, but the Lady Eagles

from East Nashville was something com-pletely different.They were fast, they were agile, they had

skills.Tournament MVP Kaia Upton was 7-for-

10 from the floor, scoring 20 points, whileQuentarra Mitchell was 6-for-7 for 15points. Erica Haynes-Overton scored 14points and Le’Jzae Davidson scored 12.As a team, they shot 50 percent from the

floor, but was 68.8 percent in the secondhalf.East Nashville turned those 17 turnovers

into 18 points. The Lady Eagles had 18fast-break points. They outrebounded Up-perman 31-23.The loss ended the Lady Bees’ 29-game

winning streak, ending their season at 35-3.

MURFREESBORO — So close.Since 1999, the Upperman Lady Bees have played in

a state championship game on three occasions. Threetimes Upperman has brought a silver ball back to Baxteras the state runner-up.The latest championship game appearance came on

Saturday night at Middle Tennessee’s Murphy Centerwhere the Lady Bees fell to East Nashville, 70-56, in theClass AA girls state tournament.“I’m thankful to be here. I’m excited the girls got to

play in three state tournament games and a champi-onship game,” said UHS head coach Dana McWilliams.“I’m disappointed I couldn’t have prepared them a littlebit better to be successful.”In 1999, Upperman lost to Gleason, 48-43, in the Class

A state championship game. Ashley McCaleb had 14points, Emily Christian 12 and Annie Hargis 10 for theLady Bees.In 2001, Upperman fell to rival Jackson County, 46-

42. Christian, Kim Blankenship and Desiree Burden hadnine each while Heidi Mead had 8 for UHS.Against East Nashville, Akira Levy had 19 points,

Abby Greenwood 18 and Gracie Maynord 13 for Up-perman.“There are a lot of teams that don’t get this far, that are

at home,” said Upperman assistant coach Amanda(Austin) Asberry. “I’m proud. This is a huge accom-plishment to get to this game. To get this far you wantto win one thing.”Asberry knows all to well what it’s like to get to the

championship game and come up short. She was on the1999 and 2001 state runner-up teams as a player and the2016 runner-up team as a coach.“I think it hurts a little bit worse as a coach,” said As-

berry. “These girls have worked their tales off this year.They are a great group of kids. They played so hard.”Asberry knows what it’s like to experience the pain ofbeing so close only to come up a few points short ofmaking history for your respective school.“They will learn a little later that this isn’t all that bad,

but it hurts tonight,” lamented Asberry. “I just wanted itfor them really bad. I knew they could do it. I know theycould do it. They have a lot left.”Even though McWilliams never made it to the state tour-

nament as a player, she has three runner-up finishes andtwo final four appearances in her five trips to the state asa coach. Still, losing the big game doesn’t get any easier.“She’s probably right,” said McWilliams about

Austin’s statement of it hurting more as a coach than aplayer. “I never made it as a player, but you hurt forthese kids.”The Lady Bees have a history of going to the state tour-

nament in closely related years. UHS went in 1999 and2001 with a lot of the same players and then made back-to-back trips in 2007 and 2008. With a talented group ofjuniors and sophomores, McWilliams is hopeful thisyear’s run to the state will be followed closely by manymore in the immediate future.“We certainly hope so. It was a goal of ours to get these

seniors to a state tournament and we did that,” saidMcWilliams. “They mean so much to our program, wewanted them to be the group to win it, but we just fellshort.”

Middleton has worked hard toimprove his defense to matchhis strong throwing arm. Mid-dleton will get the nod as thestarter. Also seeing plenty of time

will be sophomore LukeHayslette. Hayslette is a plusdefender with a good arm andshould be a big bat in the fu-ture. Hayslette also pitches.The infield sees some old

faces at new positions. SeniorCharles Harris (.237), a plusdefender, moves from short-stop to third base. “Chuck” isa glue guy that tends to holdthings together on the infielddirt. He has had some toughluck at the plate but hits theball hard. Also at third base is sopho-

more Joshua South, who wasprimarily a pitcher last year.South will get at bats and seethe field at third base, firstbase, and in the outfield. Junior A’darius Pugh (.367 –

24 of 25 SB), an all-districtperformer last year in center-field, moves to shortstop. Anathletic player who reallyhelped shore up the outfielddefense and provide a spark inthe batting order has beenworking hard to readapt to hisold position. Sophomore Rocky Szmydt

will also be counted on to be amiddle infield utility playerwho can play shortstop or sec-ond base. At second base, senior Taylor

Hall (.348 - 21 RBI) returnsfor his third year as a starter.Hall brings an outstandingglove and a solid bat to thelineup. He provides leadershipthat can’t be measured. Also at second base is junior

Bryce Alcorn. Alcorn willprobably see more time on themound than at second base,but he is more than capable ofhandling the role. First base finds a bevy of

good players. Almost all thefirst basemen also fill a majorrole on the mound so this po-sition will find its way to thehot bat who isn’t pitching. Senior T.J. Webb (.300 ) has

worked hard to improve in thebatters box. Sophomore CadeSmith (.222 – 10 RBI) movesfrom third base to first base.Junior David Loftin and soph-omore Dylan Sparks will alsoget at bats this season. Sopho-more James Strong brings aleft handed bat into the lineupand has plenty of pop.The outfield finds two play-

ers returning. Senior StephenMills (.390 14 of 16 SB) isfirmly plated in left field. Heis a playmaker on offense anda solid bat at the plate capableof driving the ball. In right field is senior Kade

Sullivan (.228), an all-districtpitcher. Sullivan follows a longline of sure-gloved players withstrong arms to play that spot. In centerfield is senior Kobe

Swallows. Used primarily as apinch runner and defensive re-placement in 2015, Swallows

is ready to assume the startingposition. The fleet footedSwallows is a plus defender.

Junior Cody Hutcherson(.333), who emerged as a dan-gerous hitter at the end of the2015 campaign and served asthe designated hitter, will hitin the middle of the order andsee time in the outfield.

Junior Brian Robbins is anew addition to the team aftermoving from Florida. He hasplus speed and has shown thepotential to have a great glove.

Baseball, especially highschool baseball, comes downto who is on the mound. TheCavs feel good about theirdeep pitching staff and its abil-ity to throw strikes and changespeeds.

Senior right-hander T.J.Webb, the District 6-AAAPitcher of the Year, will be thebell cow again this year. Webbwas 7-2 with a 1.77 ERA lastyear. His 64 strikeouts in 55.1innings make him a force. Hethrew a perfect game againstWarren County in 2015. Capa-ble of making the ball do greatthings, he will once again leadfrom the bump.

Right-handed senior Sullivan(5-0, 1 save, 1.25 ERA, 44 Kin 39.2 IP) will see action as astarter and out of the bullpen.Capable of recovering quick,he thrives in both roles.

Sophomore Joshua South (6-0 0.60 ERA school record)made a huge splash as a fresh-man and will be looked toagain to provide consistencyto the pitching staff. A right-hander who throws plenty ofstrikes, South is working onadding new pitches to his ar-senal.

Juniors Jacob Piggott, a RHP,and RHP Kaleb Clayton aretwo key elements to the staff.They will be used out of thebullpen and could find theirway into clutch situations.Left-handers James Strongand Stephen Mills (0.85 in 8.2IP) will be called on to pro-vide innings and get big outs.

Harris, a right-hander, willsee the mound for the firsttime in his career. He haspitched in the summer and is astrike thrower. Hall had a winand a save with a 0.00 ERA in2015. He is a sidearmedpitcher, who can get ground-balls. Smith was 1-1 with a1.50 ERA. He threw a one hit-ter against Oak Ridge as afreshman. Also seeing themound will be Dylan Sparks,Alcorn, Pugh, Brian Robbins,Szmydt, and Hayslette.

“That is the million dollarquestion,” Chaffin respondedto a question of how far hethinks his team will go. “If wecan get timely hitting, two-outrbi’s, move runners, and betough at the plate coupled withpitching and defense we couldgo deep into the season. It willhave to be a team effort all theway around.”

The Cavs will get their sea-son started off on Thursday asthey travel to Gatlinburg-Pittman High School.

COOKEVILLE — The CookevilleCavaliers were mere minutes away fromtheir first win of the season, before a pairof late goals spoiled their evening.The Cavs (0-4) picked up their fourth

loss of the season Friday night atCookeville High School as the Hender-sonville Spartans scored two goals in thelast four minutes to tie and win the game9-8.“I thought we outground-balled them

all game,” CHS head coach ElliotWoods commented. “When it comesdown to the critical plays, that oneground-ball is what happened, and(Hendersonville) just made some moreplays on the offensive end than we did.We got our shots, their (goalie) madesome saves, but they got some betterlooks. We’ve got to work on defensewhen guys are closing in on the goal, butwe’re getting there. It’s just two teamsplaying hard. It’s unfortunate, but givethem all the credit. They played hard.”The Cavs got started out a little slowly

as the Spartans scored the first two

goals, but the Cavs weren’t about to letthe game turn into a blowout. AJ Hol-land made sure the Cavs made it out ofthe first quarter with a goal, assisted byJustin Eberle, and after another goalfrom the Spartans, Holland took a passfrom Boone King and cut the lead to onepoint again with 10:20 in the second.

The Spartans scored again prettyquickly, but with 5:47 in the half, ColbinJones was able to take the ball throughthe middle and score unassisted to bringthe Cavs within one before halftime.

The Cavs came out of the break a dif-ferent team as they stepped up their de-fense.

The first goal of the third quarter didn’tcome until there were just over threeminutes remaining in the period. TheCavs finally managed to even the play-ing field as Eberle came around thecrease unassisted and tied the game atfour apiece.

The Cavs and the Spartans traded goalsagain before Joshua Varley gave theCavs their first lead of the game at 7-6with 6:37 to go in the game.

The last four minutes of the game werea frenzy of loose balls and exciting

goals. The Spartans tied it back up (7-7)at the 3:48 mark, but the Cavs were ableto snag the lead right back with a goal

from King 20 seconds later. Unfortu-nately, not even 20 seconds after King’sgoal, the Spartans once again tied it right

back up at the 3:10 mark.Possessions went back and forth with

neither team seeming to have an advan-tage, but with 1:59 left in the game, theSpartans scored the goal that decided thecontest.Holland, King, and Varley all scored

two points for the Cavs, while Eberle ledthe team in assists with three.“At this time last year, we were win-

ning these games,” Woods said. “(TheCavs) fought hard, and so did Hender-sonville. I’ve got to give them credit forthat. It’s just the little things, but whatwe did see was a lot of improvementfrom Wednesday, a lot of improvementfrom Monday, and even a lot of im-provement from last week. Now that wehave a week to prepare for Signal Moun-tain and rest up, I think these guys areready to go, and I think they’re seeing ittoo. It’s tough, but sometimes whenyou’re young you’ve got to learn thehard way. We were in it. That’s whatmatters, and we’re going to be in a lotmore.”Next up, the Cavs will take on Signal

Mountain when they travel toCookeville on Thursday.
