Theater shooting defendant quiet as jury selection nears By Sadie Gurman and Dan Elliott Associated Press CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Theater shooting defendant James Holmes sat quietly and leaned back in his chair in court on Tuesday just hours before the start of the arduous process of choosing a jury to decide whether he was sane when he opened fire in a packed Colorado movie theater. It was the first time Holmes has been seen by the public in civilian clothes since the 2012 shooting. He had no visible restraints, though the judge had ordered him to be tethered to the floor in a way the public couldn’t see for the trial. His dark hair was neatly trimmed, and he had a medium-length curly beard and wore oval-shaped reddish glasses. His appearance was in contrast to earlier court hearings where he wore jail uniforms and occasionally had wild orange hair and wide eyes.

TU Teens is part of the Recreation On Campus for Kids (ROCKS) program at GAMS and is affiliated with Madmen Chapter 447 of Trout Unlimited, the national organization of trout fishermen with roughly 160,000 members. The chapter takes its name after the Mad River in western Ohio.

During classroom time, students learn about fishing basics but they also learn about “Etiquette on the Water.” A handout from Mayes and Burger spells out how fishermen (fishermen is a generic term applied to both genders; almost half of the local TU chapter are girls) are meant to conduct themselves on the water and around other fishermen. Part of that etiquette involves respecting others: be quiet, don’t crowd others while they fish, be willing to share fishing information and don’t hog one spot are some examples. Students also learn to respect the outdoors. Do not litter and practice “catch and release,” keeping only what they want to eat are a couple of examples. And they also are taught to enjoy themselves. Mayes reminds students that fly fishing can be frustrating so they should learn to laugh at themselves, learn from it and enjoy their time on the water. Students also learn about identifying fish, caring for their equipment, how to “read the water” and the various flies used to catch trout. They will also have an opportunity to tie their own flies in a few weeks.

Their common cause was freedom from what Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron called “fanatical extremism,” in the form of terrorism that opposes freedom of speech and the freedom to live outside the dictates of Islamic sharia. In a historic scene, world leaders who are often at odds — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mali President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Council President Donal Tusk and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas — locked arms with French President Francois Hollande. They mourned and protested a three-day terror spree in which three gunmen killed 17 innocents, including cartoonists for the newspaper Charlie Hebdo, police and shoppers. “We in Britain face a very similar threat, a threat of fanatical extremism,” Cameron told Britain’s Sky News. “It’s a threat that has been with us for many years and I believe will be with us for many more years to come.” It’s a threat all-too familiar to Americans, who instantly lost 2,996 friends, colleagues, neighbors and relatives to Islamic terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. Since that date, Americans have suffered dozens of other crimes on domestic soil in which radical Muslims have beheaded, shot, run over or in some other manner killed in the name of religion. The shooting spree in Paris was in retaliation for cartoons deemed offensive to Islam. Even those who find such cartoons in poor taste are rising up in defense of free expression. Yes, the world rallied to the defense of Americans after the Sept. 11 attacks. But seldom, if ever, have we seen such widespread and diverse solidarity in opposition to Islamic violence as we see in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre. If anything dampens this unifying occasion, it is the well-reported neglect of President Barack Obama’s administration to send a high-ranking American official to join other world leaders at the rally. Secretary of State John Kerry said international uproar over the absence of a major American figure was “quibbling.” White House officials were less obtuse, conceding they had made a mistake in skipping the event. “I think it’s fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday. It’s not too late for the Obama administration to get on board, joining the rest of the civilized world in an ongoing expression of outrage and intolerance for sectarian violence. Let’s not allow this occasion to become a blip in another media cycle that soon is forgotten. Let’s not decide all is right with the world, simply because we feel safe and warm in our own living rooms or places of work. None of us should indulge the bliss of feigned isolation. When fanaticism attacks the very fabric of liberty, even across the Atlantic, we all suffer. From images of world leaders standing arm-inarm, we should take courage and inspiration to stand in defense of that which Islamic terrorists seek to destroy. “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” — Martin Luther King, Jr., 1963.

One of the things inarguable about the film “Selma” is the sheer and confident violence experienced during the movement — a redneck wearing a badge and let loose will usually be as dangerous as a rabid mastiff. But things have changed on so many levels that an unintentional obstacle is the black academic trying to protect his or her job by submitting to so-called youth culture, adolescent or not, defined by trends or not, and ever capable of stopping a professor from being hired or rehired. Assumed to be continually bending down before white cliches of superiority or old-time ways, academics are too often false leaders who muddy the waters themselves — very rarely for common-sense business like pulling up their pants, a false version of authenticity, a crude version of being rough but too frequently being far from ready. With both houses now controlled by the GOP, we can be sure that things are going to get worse, but will end up with them losing their majority and being voted out of office. Things do change, but when the less-than-intelligent are put in charge, their hands become raw, because turning perpetually back is never as good as looking for beliefs and methods that are purely classic. But redneck politics is also classic and is no longer only about race. Ask Allen West. He will straighten you out. Stanley Crouch can be reached by email at crouch.stanley@gmail.com.

In a recent classroom session, Mayes was explaining some of the intricacies of casting, reminding them to look behind them for such things as trees, for example. “I probably have a thousand flies in trees all around the country,” Mayes told the students, proving that even experienced fishermen mess up occasionally and the only thing to do is laugh at yourself and move on. Next month, a representative from Trout Unlimited will visit the club, bringing maps of area rivers and streams where trout fishing is done and bringing stu- dents their own fly boxes. When warmer weather arrives, students will have an opportunity to get out and test what they’ve learned on area ponds. “We’ll go out to Bob Evans this spring and several individuals have offered to let me use their private ponds,” Mayes said. He added that the school also owns a pond of its own that the club will use. The teacher does find a little irony in having a fly fishing club in an area where there’s no trout to fish for, but he also knows students will find a way to use what they’re learning. And, a couple of students in the club received fly fishing rods as Christmas presents. Mayes explained there are bigger opportunities beyond giving students something fun to do that’s educational. TU offers a summer camp program students can apply for and if chosen they’ll get to attend and fish, but also learn more about such things as conservation efforts. Mayes also pointed out a recent high school student, Jarrett Martin, earned a bass fishing scholarship to college. Mayes said he has been contacted by several area schools to learn about what he’s doing and starting a chapter in their district as well, an idea Mayes said he is more than willing to do. So while the local chapter may not be the “only” club in the state, they will always be able to lay claim to be the first thanks to the passion of a teacher. ciplinary action by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which was investigating the work-related death.

Alex Hawley | OVP Sports TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — It’s safe to say the halftime adjustments worked for the Lady Eagles. The Eastern girls basketball team turned a 10-point halftime lead into a 64-24 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Miller, Monday night in Meigs County. The Lady Eagles (10-5, 8-2 TVC Hocking) rolled to a 20-9 lead through the first eight minutes, but Miller (5-8, 3-6) cut the deficit to 30-20 at halftime. Eastern connected on four three-pointers to open the sec- ond half and surged to a 51-22 lead headed into the finale. The Green and Gold capped off the victory with a 13-2 run, completing the season sweep of Miller by a 64-24 count. Eastern also defeated MHS on December 1, by a 59-31 margin in Perry County. Freshman guard Madison Williams led the Lady Eagles with 28 points, followed by Laura Pullins with 15 and Hannah Barringer with 10. Elizabeth Collins marked six points for EHS, Hannah Bailey added three, while Alia Hayes rounded out the EHS total with two points. The Lady Eagles were 11-of16 (68.8 percent) from the free throw line and 24-of-54 (44.4 percent) from the field, including 6-of-13 (46.2 percent) from beyond the arc. As a team Eastern marked 33 rebounds, 14 assists, 23 steals, seven blocks and 19 turnovers. Hannah Barringer marked a team-high eight rebounds, followed by Pullins and Collins with seven apiece. Pullins led Eastern in assists with six, steals with eight and blocks with five. Williams contributed three assists and four steals for the Green and Gold, while Hannah Bailey and Hannah Barringer each marked three steals.

The River Valley girls basketball team hit 13 of its first 16 shot attempts against Federal Hocking’s zone defense, which ultimately allowed the hosts enough breathing room to cruise to a 60-33 victory Monday night in a nonconference contest in Gallia County. The Lady Raiders (6-8) battled through three ties and three lead changes in the opening 2:36 of play, but the hosts broke away from a 6-all tie by hitting 10 of its next dozen field goal tries over the next eight minutes en route to a sizable 31-14 cushion with 4:30 remaining in the half. The visiting Lady Lancers (3-13) countered with five straight points to close to within 31-18 with 3:18 left in the second canto, but never came closer the rest of the way. The Silver and Black — who snapped a two-game losing skid — finished the opening 16 minutes on a 6-0 spurt to take their biggest lead of the half at 37-18 entering the break. RVHS connected on 16-of24 field goal attempts in the first half for 67 percent, which included a 5-of-6 effort from three-point range for 83 percent. The hosts also committed just four turnovers and limited FHHS to 6-of-28 shooting (21 percent) before the break. River Valley kept the hot hand going in the second half after nailing 6-of-11 shot attempts during a 14-6 run, which gave the hosts a comfortable 51-24 cushion headed into the finale. The Lady Raiders claimed their largest lead of the game following a Chelsea Copley basket, which made it a 60-29 contest with 4:54 remaining in regulation. Brittanie Jackson scored the final three points for Fed Hock, which wrapped up the 27-point outcome. River Valley connected on 26-of-51 field goal attempts for 51 percent overall, including a 6-of-11 effort from three-point range for 55 percent. The hosts outrebounded the Lady Lancers by a 30-27 margin, but lost the battle on the offensive glass by a 14-8 count.

Vonn backs Tiger Woods’ account of missing tooth CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — World Cup ski champion Lindsey Vonn is backing boyfriend Tiger Woods’ account of how he lost a front tooth. One day after winning her record 63rd World Cup race, Vonn posted to her Facebook account Tuesday that she was happy Woods surprised her by coming to the race, and that she felt “terrible that his tooth got knocked out.” “When he was in the finish area a cameraman accidentally knocked into him and took out his front tooth,” Vonn wrote. “He was still in great spirits though and didn’t complain once or ask for any special assistance or security. We were both just happy to share the moment together.” Woods missing a tooth created a sensation Monday after the race. Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent at Excel Sports Management, said in an email that during a crush of photographers at the awards podium, “a media member with a shoulder-mounted video camera pushed and surged toward the stage, turned and hit Tiger Woods in the mouth. Woods’ tooth was knocked out by the incident.” It wasn’t clear if Vonn saw Woods collide with the camera. Woods first showed up in the athletes’ area when Vonn’s father, Alan Kildow, escorted him in shortly after Vonn took the lead. The golfer then surprised Vonn and gave the skier an emotional hug. After about 10 to 15 minutes of standing near Vonn with her family, Woods was escorted into a white tent usually reserved for measuring skis. He stayed there for nearly an hour, while the last lowerranked skiers came down and during the podium celebration. After the podium celebration, Woods was escorted by Commercial Houses For Sale COMMERCIAL PROPERTY FOR SALE w/ 2 Residential Rentals.

Race organizers told The Associated Press they were not aware of the incident and that Woods requested extra security and a snowmobile to exit the finish area. “I was among those who escorted him from the tent to the snowmobile and there was no such incident,” Nicola Colli, the secretary general of the race organizing committee, told The Associated Press. “When he arrived he asked for more security and we rounded up police to look after both him and Lindsey.” Woods had been wearing a scarf with a skeleton pattern over the lower part of his face, sunglasses and a stocking cap. The photo was taken when the scarf was lowered. Steinberg, through a spokesman, said there would be nothing to add Tuesday. Woods makes his 2015 debut next week in Phoenix.

Rookie head coach David Blatt is one of their own, making his name professionally in Israel and raising a family there. Nearly all of Cleveland’s games are broadcast live on Israeli sports channels, and the national morning radio broadcast almost always delivers the score of the previous night’s games. Radio shows feature a daily update segment, and local newspapers have begun to resemble Ohio dailies in their blanket coverage of the drama surrounding Blatt’s talented yet underachieving team. “It’s beyond surreal. It feels almost alien-like,” said Gil Barak, who broadcasts Cleveland’s games for the Sport 5 TV channel. “This is a guy we’re used to seeing around here as his everyday self. Now he’s got LeBron and directing the most high-profile team in the world.” And as Cleveland fans worry that Blatt isn’t using his roster properly, Israelis are proudly sticking behind him. Bostonborn Blatt, 55, remains one of the country’s most beloved figures, thanks to his winning history as a coach in his adopted homeland and national pride in his making it big time. “It means a lot from two perspectives: Number one, I can do something for the people in Israel, and number two, I can do something about bringing seven million new fans to the Cavaliers,” Blatt said Monday night after a third straight win put the Cavaliers at 22-20. “I’ve been very fortunate, we had a great deal of success in Israel the last several years, so people are positive about this and about me and I’ve got Bron and Kevin and Kyrie and they love the NBA over there so it’s a natural tie-in, and it’s great.” Israelis went crazy in 2009 when Omri Casspi became the country’s first NBA player, and again when Gal Mekel made fleeting appearances for the Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans. But those reactions paled in comparison to the hoopla surrounding Blatt’s sudden ascension to become the first coach to jump from the European leagues to the NBA. Learning that he would coach the planet’s greatest player has only added to the excitement. Barak said the channel has experienced a spike in ratings this season, and that he is often stopped on the streets by strangers who want to pick his brain about Blatt. “From our provincial perspective, it is a huge deal and we want to see one of our own succeed,” he said. Blatt played his college ball at Princeton under coach Pete Carril. He has called Israel home since 1981, when he first arrived to play for the U.S. at the Maccabiah Games. A solid playing career in the Israeli league followed before an even more successful coaching career began in 1993. Over the next two decades he developed his reputation as a top international coach and offensive wizard whose stock surged dramatically after leading the Russian national team to a bronze medal in the 2012 Olympics. His signature moment in Israel came last year when he led Maccabi Tel Aviv to a series of upset wins en route to a dramatic Euroleague championship title. As rumors floated that Blatt would soon head to the NBA, Israeli Prime Minister Benja- Mark J. Terrill | AP Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt, who built his reputation coaching in Israel, has made the Cavaliers an obsession for sports fans in Israel, his adopted homeland. min Netanyahu even pleaded with him to stay. His roots in Israel remain deep. He’s married to an Israeli woman, Kinneret, and raised his four children here, with the oldest two having completed their military service. He speaks fluent, albeit Americanaccented, Hebrew and is a popular pitchman for TV ads who has professed a desire to one day serve as an ambassador for the country. An economic newspaper recently reported Blatt just purchased a pair of high-rise Tel Aviv apartments. Overnight, the Cavs became “Israel’s team” in the NBA, replacing traditional favorites like the Celtics, Knicks, Bulls and Lakers. Even those who rooted against him have become his backers, with the loyal following taking up a prominent presence online to defend him against critics. The One...Place to advertise!

Dotan Ben-Yosef, a 25-yearold university student, is among many who can’t wait for the morning highlights and gets up at 3 a.m. to watch the games live. “He’s living out the dream of every Israeli who wants to make it big in the world,” he said. “I think everyone here wants him to win.” So far, it hasn’t worked out that way. With a slew of injuries, questionable team chemistry and a seemingly awkward relationship with James, the Cavs are in the middle of the pack after being favored to win the Eastern Conference. Blatt’s every move in America is scrutinized in the local media with commentators saying the pressure is taking its toll.

Devin Smith, his former player on Maccabi, said he’s confident once Blatt gets through the growing pains he will thrive. “You’ve got a group of guys who have never played together,” said Smith, who played his college ball at the University of Virginia. “It’s a growing process.
