our thoughts and opinionsabout the accident that ourparents were in," daughterCatherine Baggett wrote. "Atthis time, our families do notcare to speculate on theevents of this accident, but weare focusing all our attentionon laying our parents to restand honoring not how theydied, but how they lived. Eventhough this accident was sud-den and unexpected, our par-ents were ready to meet ourLord and Savior, Jesus Christ!Anyone who met our parentsknew their belief and faith inChrist because they not only

told you about Jesus, theyshowed you the love of Christin everything they said anddid. No matter what theywere doing, if you neededthem, they would be there foryou to pray for you, love youand do everything they couldfor you! This is what we areconcentrating on at this time."Baggett wrote that they

News Digest....

DEAR AB-BY: Valen-tine's Day isapproach-ing, and Iwanted towrite con-cerningthose of uswho are sin-gle bychoice, by

circumstance, because of thedeath of a spouse or divorce.This holiday was set aside

to celebrate love and lovers,but it can be a lonely time forpeople who find themselveswithout a significant other.Valentine's Day is so commer-cialized that one is bombardedby ads for gifts, candy, etc.,from every angle, which onlyenforces one's aloneness. Themessage is subtly sent -- butreceived loud and clear -- thatan individual without a part-ner is worthless.I would like to urge your

readers this year to includethose who are alone throughdivorce or widowhood in theircelebration of this day. Make ita day on which they too canfeel special, loved, and a partof things rather than isolated,forgotten and alone.-- SOLO IN TEXASDEAR SOLO: Thank you

for your letter. Readers, ifyou're feeling down becauseyou don't have a special valen-tine, the surest cure for theblues is to do something forsomeone else. Call someonewho's alone to say, "I'm think-ing about you."If you know someone who's

in a nursing home, take someflowers. Put your discarded

items in a box and call your fa-vorite charity. Donate someblood. Listen to your teenager.Tell your parents you thinkthey're great. Forgive an ene-my. Send a donation to a foodprogram that benefits theneedy.And if you love someone,

tell him or her NOW; pleasedon't wait until next Valen-tine's Day to be a sweetheartagain.

DEARABBY: I have had anembarrassing problem eversince grammar school. I bitemy nails and cuticles untilthey bleed. If the pain is se-vere, or I see a piece of cuticlehanging, I stop until it heals.But then I start up again. Howcan quit this ugly habit? --MANIC IN GRANDVIEW,MO.DEAR MANIC: You have a

problem that I'm told isshared by one in 12 adults.There is more than one solu-tion for it, and the common de-nominator in all of them isMOTIVATION. He’s a helpfulsuggestion submitted by areader in years past:"What helped me to finally

stop at age 45 was that I satdown and tried to figure outwhy I kept biting my nails. Ifinally realized it was becauseI couldn't stand the feel of arough nail catching on the fab-ric of my clothing."Now I keep emery boards,

from coarse to fine, beside myfavorite chair, in my purse, inmy glove compartment and bymy bed. If I feel a snag, I im-mediately smooth the offend-ing nail. It has eliminated myneed to bite."

Robert De Niro, 69, and SlyStallone, 65, are training for anupcoming boxing film, "GrudgeMatch," about aging rivals head-ing back into the ring. Just theidea of those two shirtless intrunksmakes us think about theimportance of preserving musclemass as you age. After all, eventhe fittest athletes lose muscletone with passing decades.Here's why. You don't use

your muscles as much as youused to; plus, you have lower lev-els of growth hormone, which isgood for preventing cancerspread, not so good for musclegrowth. If you add to that lowerlevels of vitamin D-3, an imbal-ance in the acid-base content offoods you eat (more about that ina minute) and lack of enough

protein and vitamin B-12, you'regoing to lose muscle tone. Butyou can fight back!To build muscles you need

about 68 grams of lean protein(skinless poultry, salmon, trout)a day if you weigh 150 pounds; a1,000 IU supplement of vitaminD-3 daily, 1,200 IU if you're over60; and 25-100 mcg per day of aB-12 supplement if you're 65 orolder.And about acid-base balance:

Too many acid-producing foods(100 percent whole grains andlean proteins) and not enoughveggies and fruit (they're base)weakens muscles and bones. Soaim for balance by making sureyou eat nine servings of producea day.You need strength-building

exercises -- done for 20-30 min-utes two to three times a week --combined with walking 10,000steps a day! Realage.com offers17 nifty resistance-band exercis-es.

wanted to pay homage to thecitizens in our community whoare very good cooks and bakersbut they never get any recogni-tion besides cooking at theirhomes or cooking in theirchurch. So we decided to trythis event this year and getpeople out so that they can seewhat great talent we have herein Laurens County."Francis Webb, the General

Chairperson of the Dublin-Lau-rens Black Festival Committee,Inc., brought up the idea of theSoul Food Fest when planswere being made for Black His-tory Month."This is our first time and

we just wanted to show our sideof the cooking and let every-body come and fellowship,"Webb said. "Once again it'sabout fellowship and bringingpeople out and together as onein the community."Lewis volunteered to be the

chairman of the committee forthis event."The entire Black Festival

Committee thought it would bea good idea," he said. "We justtook it and ran with it."Food included collard

greens, cabbage and a varietyof meats. There was alsodesserts that go a long withsoul food.And the $3 per person price

for food and drinks was onethat is hard to beat, Lewis said."We didn't want to put a

high price to it since it was our

first year starting," he said. "Aswe progress, we may increasethe price just a little bit. Wejust wanted people to come out,taste it and enjoy themselves."Webb was glad to see people

of all races and cultures attendthe event.

"I know we have a lot of soulfood and different kinds of foodfor everyone," she said. "It's allhere. We feel like this givesthem something to do. Theycan eat lunch here and then goto the basketball game laterthis afternoon.

relatives in this area, so whenever I was askedabout coming back over here this year I jumpedat the opportunity. I even passed up a Mont-gomery Gentry concert (Friday) night to be here.But every time I come here it's a blessing just tosee the vets and just to see that look on theirfaces. When we come out brightens their day a lit-tle bit. I just like being a blessing to others as theyare a blessing to me."Robert Miles, director of Life Skills with the

athletic department, said he coordinates studentathlete appearances and volunteer opportunitiesfor every student athlete at UGA."We've come down here for the last two years

and we take advantage of the opportunity to beinvited down here to assist in fellowship andworking with the veterans down here," Milessaid. "We thank them for their service."And the players enjoy visiting too. On Satur-

day, UGA had several things going on which waswhy only two UGA players made the trip."We usually have at least four or five student

athletes with us," Miles said. "But we've got somany events going on we had to divide the ath-letes. I had others who wanted to come but theyhad an event in Athens and something else goingon in the community. These two were able to comedown."Miles knows people are excited about the Bull-

dogs. He said they are excited after NationalSigning Day, which included the signing of WestLaurens' Johnny O'Neal."We're looking forward to getting him up

there," Miles said. "We haven't had anybody fromhere up there since punter Brian Mimbs. We'reexcited about the incoming group and we're look-ing forward to working with them and gettingthem into school."Walking through the VA, many people couldn't

help but notice Beard and Drew. Many stoppedwhat they were doing to get their picture takenwith them or get an autograph.One man even told Miles to give the Bulldogs’

head coach a message about the SEC Champi-onship game. The man said Georgia should havespiked the ball next time to kill the clock andmaybe have a chance at two plays in the endzone. Miles had a big smile on his face when hetold the man he would pass on the message.As for Beard and Drew, both said they were ex-

"I feel pretty good and we have goals thisyear," Beard said. "Our main goal is to get closerto that National Championship. All of us are go-ing to be that much more experienced this year."And they know how close they were last year."I'm encouraged," Drew said. "Our quarter-

back and just about all of our receivers are com-ing back. Other than the few players we lost tothe draft, everything is pretty much intact. We'vegot some guys that can step up and fill the spots.We lost a number of people on the defensive side,but I believe if everyone buys in and continues tostay on the path that we've been on the past threeyears, we'll be fine."The Bulldogs have been to the SEC Champi-

we need to feel what it is like to go there and win,"Drew said. "We wanted to win every game andfinish the season in Miami. This year we're focus-ing on the Rose because the National Champi-onship will be played in Pasadena at the RoseBowl. But we've got to take care of business in thefirst part of the season as well. We look at the sea-son as being broken up into three or four parts.There's the preseason, the first and last half ofthe season before the championship and bowl sea-son. We want to break it up into little parts andtake it step by step."

Homes wrecked, dozenhurt in Mississippi tornadoHATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP)

— Residents shaken by a tor-nado that mangled homes inMississippi were waking upMonday to a day of removingtrees, patching roofs and givingthanks for their survival. Morethan a dozen in the state wereinjured.Daylight also offered emer-

gency management officials thechance to get a better handle onthe damage that stretchedacross several counties. Gov.Phil Bryant planned to visithard-hit Hattiesburg, where atwister moved along one of thecity’s main streets and dam-aged buildings at the gover-nor’s alma mater, the Universi-ty of Southern Mississippi.Emergency officials said lateSunday that at least 10 peoplewere injured in surroundingForrest County and three werehurt to the west in MarionCounty, but they weren’t awareof any deaths.It was raining at first light

Monday and people began try-ing to salvage what they couldin one damaged neighborhood.Some people walked aroundfallen trees, power lines,smashed cars and other debristo carry belongings away.Charlotte Walters, 61, and

her daughter Heather Walters,30, were moving buckets andbowls around inside theirhouse trying to catch waterpouring through holes in theroof. The women were at homealong with Charlotte’s husbandwhen a relative called and saida tornado was headed theirway.“It came through like a

freight train. I always heard itsounded like a train. It soundedlike Katrina,” said CharlotteWaters, who lives in a neigh-borhood also hit by the 2005hurricane that devastated theGulf Coast.Besides holes in the roof of

her one-story wood framehouse, a falling tree had dam-aged the side and another onecollapsed on her carport, dent-ing and breaking windows inthree cars there.“I’m blessed. At least I don’t

have one of those in my house,”Charlotte said, pointing to atree that had fallen onto aneighbor’s house next door.Among those who felt lucky

to be alive Sunday was 49-year-old Margie Murchison, whowas visiting with a friend whenher husband started screamingfor them to take shelter fromthe approaching storm in anearby culvert. They sprintedout of the house as debris flewaround them andmade it to theconduit that runs under theroad. A tree crashed behindthem as they made it to theirhiding place.“For a minute there, that

wind was so strong I couldn’tbreathe,” Murchison said.Said Murchison’s friend, 55-

year-old Wayne Cassell: “If wehad wasted any seconds, wewouldn’t have made it.”After the storm passed,

there were trees down allaround the Murchison home.

She said there was part of theroof damaged and leaking.Windows were broken out andthe detached garage was lean-ing.Mississippi Emergency

Management Agencyspokesman Greg Flynn said itappears a single tornadocaused the damage in Forrest,Marion and Lamar counties.Hundreds of homes are dam-aged in Forrest County, alongwith a couple dozen in the oth-er two.Flynn said the sheer scope of

the damage was slowing offi-cials’ assessment.“The problem is, it was so

strong that there’s so much de-bris that there’s a lot of areasthey haven’t been able to get toyet,” he said.

Flash flood watch issuedas heavy rain continuesATLANTA (AP) — Forecasters are warning of the poten-

tial for flash flooding in Georgia as heavy rain continued tofall in many parts of the state.The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch

for parts of north and central Georgia. It was scheduled torun until 1 p.m. Monday.The flash flood watch includes several Georgia cities, in-

cluding Atlanta, Athens, Columbus, LaGrange and Macon.

On Saturday, the longand somewhat tediousprocess of picking the lead-ers for the local, state andnational Republican leadersbegan with “mass precinctmeetings” held in Georgia’scounties with over 80,000residents. All counties willhold their conventions nextmonth to determine whowill be delegates to congres-sional district conventionsheld in April and theGeorgia GOP StateConvention which willoccur in Athens this May.State Party leaders alongwith National Committeemembers will be selected atthat time.

The convention processwas once the determinationof who held political powerand was allowed to run foroffice. With the widespreaduse of primaries, manyloyal party voters are nowoblivious to the party elec-tion system and the ritualsinvolved. In far too manycases, this has allowedpolitical parties to removetheir focus from recruiting

and selecting candidatesthat will best represent theparty’s values in generalelections and becomeinwardly focused on self-preservation of the mem-bers and their own posi-tions of power.

It is a process that allowsfor the grass roots to selecttheir own leaders. It has forsome, unfortunately, a placeto settle petty scores or toblock newcomers out of anoverall sense of paranoia orto cling to local leadershipposts despite changingtimes and attitudes.

The Newton CountyRepublican Party imple-mented exclusionary prac-tices that appear to violateState Party rules whichgovern how these massprecinct meetings must beheld. Those who agreed tospend a Saturday morningdedicated to being part ofthis potentially four monthprocess arrived to find thatthe county party had creat-ed a point system based onprior activities within theparty, ensuring no newcom-

ers would be entitled toattend next month’s countyconvention and likely thehigher level conventions asdelegates.

The move comes as manyin the grass roots level con-tinue to fend off organizedefforts by Libertarians andsupporters of perpetualcandidate Ron Paul to takeaway control of much of theinstitutional frameworkthat currently serves as abuffer for incumbents andthe GOP status quo. By set-ting up rules that block anynewcomer from participat-

ing in the process, the coun-ty party has likely not onlyviolated rules, but hasensured that any efforts byparty leaders to speak ofoutreach and growing a big-ger tent for new supporterswill be muted.

Another example of suchcame from Douglas County,where one precinct chair-man blocked MichaelMcNeely and his wife asdelegates to next month’scounty convention despitethere being many open slotsthat went unfilled when theroster was completed. The

precinct Chairman, JackGamel, said it was becauseMcNeely had run and wonthe position of First ViceChairman of the Douglasparty two years ago againstGamel’s friend.

The petty attempt to set-tle a score has had muchlarger implications sinceMcNeely is a candidate forthe First Vice Chairman’sposition for the GeorgiaGOP, and currently holdsthe title of Chairman of theGeorgia Black RepublicanCouncil. Just days afterNational GOP ChairmanReince Priebus was inAtlanta to discuss minorityoutreach with local GOPleaders, a state partyprecinct chairman blockedthe man in charge of minor-ity outreach for the GAGOPfrom attending the DouglasCounty convention on a 3-2vote.

Three white voters over-rode two African Americanvoters to exclude McNeelyover pettiness. It is anembarrassment for theparty and the state, and

calls the question ofwhether this process forelecting delegates to con-ventions is even relevant inthis era.

The GOP has clearly hadproblems articulating acoherent and consistentmessage over many of thelast election cycles.Unforced errors by thoseattempting to hold theirgrip on local fiefdoms do nothelp the bigger cause.

Change is coming to theelectoral landscape here inGeorgia. The Georgia GOPmust figure out how tochange with it. If it doesnot, there will be many localleaders who will be continu-ing to cling to their grip onpower too long whileRepublicans descend intominority party status.

As many of you recall, Iopposed the recent charterschool amendment, notbecause I oppose charterschools — I don’t — butbecause I thought the word-ing of the amendment wasduplicitous. I thought itgrossly unfair that Gov.Nathan Deal could wax elo-quently on the need for pas-sage of the amendment butSchool Superintendent JohnBarge was not allowed totalk about opposing it. It waslike Goliath beating upDavid.Opponents of the amend-

ment were outspent 10-to-one by proponents — mostlyout-of-state special interests,including for-profit charterschool management compa-nies who will no doubt begiving campaign donationsto their legislative buddies.I said all of this as plainlyand as passionately as Icould. And I lost. Theamendment passed inNovember by 58 -42 percent.Given all of the above rea-sons, I’m surprised the mar-gin wasn’t greater.The voters have spoken

and I am ready to move on. Ihave told charter school pro-ponents that I plan to inter-view some teachers in char-ter schools in the near futureand get a better understand-ing of what they do.I am impressed with the

appointments to the CharterSchool Commission estab-lished as a result of theamendment’s passage, espe-cially Dr. Charles B. Knapp,the commission chairman.

Dr. Knapp, former presidentof the University of Georgia,is a long-time personalfriend and a man of highestintegrity. IfChuck Knappis involved,the processwill be fair.Otherwise, hewould not be apart of it.Now to the

o t h e re x t r e m e :Americans forProsperity –Georgia tout-ed a “SchoolC h o i c eCe l ebra t i onand Rally2013” recentlyat the stateCapitol. In apress release flacking theevent, a spokespersonopined, “Allowing low-income students the abilityto walk away from failingpublic schools is a civil rightthat I’m happy to see begin-ning to be addressed here inGeorgia. It’s time for more ofthe country to follow suit.”Beg pardon? This is how wehandle problems in our soci-ety? We walk away fromthem? That is our civil right?Americans for Prosperity –Georgia should get theirhead out of the clouds (orwherever it is currentlylocated) and apologize to allthe school teachers in ourstate who are beating theirbrains out trying to educateyoung people in an environ-ment of parental neglect,

drugs, poverty, hunger andabuse; where the teachermay be the only role modelthese kids will ever have.

P u b l i cschool budgetshave been cut.Classroom sizeshave increased.Days of instruc-tion curtailed.Yet, publicschool teachersare expected toshut the door onall of society’sills and providea world-classeducation or thiscrowd proposeswe “walk away”and leave publicschools with thedregs.

One of theirsupporters asked me, “If youare such a strong supporterof teacher’s (sic) would yousupport merit pay andteacher salaries tied to stu-dent achievement? If youdon’t perform in business,you get fired. If you don’tperform in education, youget tenure and your raisesare based on longevity.”Aside from appreciating histutorial on how businessworks — being that I spent40 years as a mule skinnerand know little of capitalism— I would answer his ques-tion with some questions ofmy own.How would the reader

propose establishing a meritpay system? Would it bethe same for teachers inwealthy Atlanta suburbs

with engaged parents as itwould in areas of abjectpoverty in small rural sys-tems where parentalinvolvement is non-exis-tent? If not, how would hepropose to handle that?Does he know how manyteachers in Georgia havebeen furloughed in the pastfive years due to budgetcuts? And how many teach-ers are taking home lessmoney today than they didfive years ago but continueto do this thankless jobbecause they think they canmake a difference in younglives? Has he checked onhow many teachers inGeorgia quit within theirfirst five years because theysadly realize that what theyhad dreamt would be anoble profession is neitherappreciated nor supportedby second-guessing grand-standers who couldn’t carrytheir book bags?The appointment of Dr.

Charles Knapp and thosewho will serve with him onthe Charter SchoolCommission is a great stepin the right direction forseeking solutions to whatails us educationally. But tothose who choose to blamepublic schools for problemsthey didn’t create and thenblithely suggest we walkaway from them: You arethe problem, not the solu-tion.

RepublicanConvention Process BeginsWith FlawsAndErrors

There was a photo from last week’s 27-vehicle wreckon I-16 that was submitted to The Courier Herald.It shows a man with his cell phone walking up to a

couple of vehicles on fire, including the tanker that did-n’t look like it had blown up yet.From this photo, it seems that the man is right on top

of the fire. Of course, we know that the tanker didexplode, and hopefully that man was out of the way bythen.While we in the media like to get photos of things

happening, people need to be safe in doing so.There is no accident site worth getting killed over just

to get a photograph. Unfortunately, many, includingthose in the media, have pushed their luck trying to geta photo.At the same time, other people who came across last

Wednesday’s pileup were able to get safe pictures froma distance and send them to media across middleGeorgia.And that is what we want, as long as you are not

putting yourself in danger. We want to inform you, thepublic with what’s going on and we need your help. Theonly thing is, we don’t want you to get in harms way.If you are driving by and see something you think is

news worthy or interesting, take a picture with yourcamera or cell phone and let us know about it.We are easy to reach by calling (478) 272-5522 and

asking for the newsroom. You can also email photos tonews@courier-herald.comBy calling us, we can go to the scene and see what’s

happening. We also like to hear the stories from thosewho either saw something happen or may have survivedit like Joseph White Jr. who said he was “too close forcomfort” in last week’s wreck. His story gave us anunderstanding of how the first moments of the wreckwere, and what it felt like to be there.— Payton Towns III

VATICAN CITY (AP) —Pope Benedict XVI announcedMonday that he would resignon Feb. 28 because he was sim-ply too infirm to carry on — thefirst pontiff to do so in nearly600 years. The decision sets thestage for a conclave to elect anew pope before the end ofMarch.

The 85-year-old pope an-nounced his decision in Latinduring a meeting of Vaticancardinals on Monday morning.

He emphasized that carry-ing out the duties of being pope— the leader of more than a bil-lion Roman Catholics world-wide — requires “both strengthof mind and body.”

“After having repeatedly ex-amined my conscience beforeGod, I have come to the cer-tainty that my strengths due toan advanced age are no longersuited to an adequate exerciseof the Petrine ministry,” he toldthe cardinals. “I am well awarethat this ministry, due to its es-sential spiritual nature, mustbe carried out not only bywords and deeds but no lesswith prayer and suffering.

“However, in today’s world,subject to so many rapidchanges and shaken by ques-tions of deep relevance for thelife of faith, in order to governthe barque of St. Peter and pro-claim the Gospel, both strengthof mind and body are necessary— strengths which in the lastfew months, has deterioratedin me to the extent that I havehad to recognize my incapacityto adequately fulfill the min-istry entrusted to me.”

The last pope to resign wasPope Gregory XII, who steppeddown in 1415 in a deal to endthe Great Western Schismamong competing papalclaimants.

Benedict called his choice “adecision of great importance forthe life of the church.”

The move sets the stage forthe Vatican to hold a conclaveto elect a new pope by mid-March, since the traditionalmourning time that would fol-low the death of a pope doesn’thave to be observed.

There are several papal con-tenders in the wings, but no ob-vious front-runner — the samesituation when Benedict waselected pontiff in 2005 after thedeath of Pope John Paul II.

When Benedict was electedpope at age 78 — already theoldest pope elected in nearly300 years — he had been al-ready planning to retire as theVatican’s chief orthodoxywatchdog to spend his finalyears writing in the “peace andquiet” of his native Bavaria.

Contenders to be his succes-sor include Cardinal AngeloScola, archbishop of Milan,Cardinal Christoph Schoen-born, the archbishop of Vienna,and Cardinal Marc Ouellet, theCanadian head of the Vatican’soffice for bishops.

Longshots include CardinalTimothy Dolan of NewYork.Al-though Dolan is popular andbacks the pope’s conservativeline, the general thinking isthat the Catholic Church does-n’t need a pope from a “super-power.”

All cardinals under age 80are allowed to vote in the con-clave, the secret meeting heldin the Sistine Chapel wherecardinals cast ballots to elect anew pope. As per tradition, theballots are burned after eachvoting round; black smoke thatsnakes out of the chimneymeans no pope has been cho-sen, while white smoke meansa pope has been elected.

Popes are allowed to resign;church law specifies only thatthe resignation be “freely madeand properly manifested.”

Only a handful have doneso, however and there’s goodreason why it hasn’t becomecommonplace: Might the exis-tence of two popes — evenwhen one has stepped down —lead to divisions and instabilityin the church? Might a new res-ignation precedent lead to pres-sures on future popes to quit atthe slightest hint of infirmity?

Benedict himself raised thepossibility of resigning if hewere simply too old or sick tocontinue on in 2010, when hewas interviewed for the book“Light of the World.”

“If a pope clearly realizesthat he is no longer physically,psychologically and spirituallycapable of handling the dutiesof his office, then he has aright, and under some circum-stances, also an obligation toresign,” Benedict said.

The former Cardinal JosephRatzinger had an intimateview as Pope John Paul II, withwhom he had worked closely

for nearly a quarter-century,suffered through the debilitat-ing end of his papacy.

———Search for a fugitive ex-

police officerIRVINE, Calif. (AP) — The

search for a fugitive ex-policeofficer wanted in the slayingsof three people took police to aSan Fernando Valley home im-provement store and to thehome of a possible target in aquiet Southern California sub-urb.

Also, authorities have set a$1 million reward for informa-tion leading to the arrest ofChristopher Dorner and smalltowns remained on edge fromthe din of police helicoptersand cruisers staking outschools.

Authorities have been work-ing to protect dozens of familiesin the area considered targetsbased on Christopher Dorner’sFacebook rant against those heheld responsible for ending hiscareer with the LosAngeles Po-lice Department five years ago.

Among those the 33-year-old Dorner is suspected ofkilling is a Riverside police offi-cer, and on the fourth day ofthe manhunt, authorities putup a $1 million reward for in-formation leading to his cap-ture.

“Our dedication to catch thiskiller remains steadfast. Ourconfidence remains unshaken,”LosAngeles MayorAntonio Vil-laraigosa said at a news confer-ence alongside police chiefsand mayors from Irvine andRiverside. “We will not toleratethis reign of terror.”

———After digging out, North-

east residents look to work,school but face closings,travel limits

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — Aselectricity returns and high-ways reopen, Northeast resi-dents are getting back to theirweekday routines following themassive snowstorm that hadmillions digging out from NewYork to Maine.

But the routine for someNew Englanders will be dis-rupted by school and work-place closings, while residentsof New York’s Long Island an-ticipate the reopening of a ma-jor roadway. For some there’salso a new worry: the danger ofroof collapses as rain andwarmer weather melts snow.

The storm that slammed in-to the region with up to 3 feetof snow was blamed for at least15 deaths in the Northeast andCanada, and brought some ofthe highest accumulations everrecorded. Still, coastal areaswere largely spared cata-strophic damage despite beinglashed by strong waves andhurricane-force wind gusts atthe height of the storm.

Hundreds of people, theirhomes without heat or electric-ity, were forced to take refugein emergency shelters set up inschools or other places. But byearly Monday, outages haddropped to 149,970 — morethan 126,000 of them in Mass-achusetts.

“For all the complainingeveryone does, people reallycame through,” said Rich Dins-more, 65, of Newport, R.I., whowas staying at a Red Crossshelter set up in a middleschool in Middletown after thepower went out in his home onFriday.

Former Pentagon chiefsays lawmakers shouldhave oversight of dronestrikes against al-Qaida

WASHINGTON (AP) —Robert Gates, a former defensesecretary and spymaster, isbacking lawmakers’ proposal toform a special court to reviewPresident Barack Obama’sdeadly drone strikes againstAmericans linked to al-Qaida.

Gates, who led the Pentagonfor Presidents George W. Bushand Obama and previouslyserved as the Central Intelli-gence Agency’s director, saidObama’s use of the unmanneddrones follows tight rules. Buthe shares lawmakers’ warinessover using the unmanned air-craft to target al-Qaida opera-tives and allies.

“I think that the rules andthe practices that the Obamaadministration has followedare quite stringent and are notbeing abused. But who is to sayabout a future president?”Gates said in an interviewbroadcast Sunday.

The use of remote-controlleddrones — Obama’s weapon ofchoice to strike al-Qaida withlethal missiles in places suchas Pakistan and Yemen —earned headlines last week aslawmakers contemplated justhow much leeway an Americanpresident should have in goingafter the nation’s enemies, in-cluding its own citizens.

“We are in a different kindof war. We’re not sendingtroops. We’re not sendingmanned bombers. We’re deal-ing with the enemy where wefind them to keepAmerica safe.We have to strike a new consti-tutional balance with the chal-lenges we face today,” said Sen.Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

———China’s patience wear-

ing thin as North Koreaplans another nuclear test

DANDONG, China (AP) —China’s patience with NorthKorea is wearing thin, and awidely-expected nuclear test bythe latter could bring that frus-tration to a head.

Beijing signaled its growingunhappiness by agreeing totightened U.N. sanctions afterNorth Korea launched a rocketin December, surprising Chinawatchers with its unusuallytough line, which promptedharsh criticism from Py-ongyang.

And while China isn’t ex-pected to abandon its commu-nist neighbor, it appears to bereassessing ties a year afternew North Korean leader KimJong Un took office. The ques-tion is for how long China, it-self under new leader Xi Jin-ping, will continue to backNorth Korea’s nettlesome poli-cies.

“Perhaps Kim Jong Unthinks Xi Jinping will indulgehim. Perhaps he’s in for a sur-prise,” said Richard Bush, Di-rector of the Center for North-eastAsian Policy Studies at theBrookings Institution in Wash-ington D.C.

China is feeling spurned byKim. Although China wel-comed his ascension after hisfather died in December 2011and maintained flows of aidand investment, Kim has ig-nored China’s interests in astable neighborhood with histwo rocket launches and nu-clear test plan. North Koreaannounced last month it wouldconduct a test to protest thetoughened U.N. sanctions.

To the dog-trainer whoshot the dogs on someoneelse's' property...Karma iscoming your way.

What a great tribute atthe Grammy’s last night toall the stars who passedaway last year! I'd forgot-ten who we'd lost.

Please pray for ourtroops. They are sacrific-ing their lives for our safe-ty. Thank you to all thoseserving and who haveserved.

Everybody who diesdoes not go to heaven (onlyborn again believers andthose that have notreached the age of ac-countability.) While it maysound good to the flesh,people DO NOT becomeangels in heaven.

Jack Key thank you, Iespecially enjoyed your ar-ticle on Corinthians in to-day's Courier-Herald (Feb9), it's my favorite Biblicalscripture :-)

Why can't women put onmascara with their mouthclosed?

EL Elementary shouldbuild a shelter for the ani-mals in the fenced areathat amounts to a hole inthe ground. There shouldbe enough materials wast-ed from the sports complexto build one!! Millions onsports, animals neglected.

I am now on Medicareand I am shocked at howlittle my doctor receives.It makes me afraid all theyears I paid into Medicarewere for naught. I praymy doctor doesn't stop ac-cepting Medicare patients.

I wish someone inDublin would open an in-door gun range. I wouldcertainly use it.

My prayers go out to thefamilies who lost lovedones in the terrible wrecklast week. God is going totake care of you allthrough this difficult time.

I'm distraught thatstates would rename Con-federate parks becausesome folks find it offen-sive. It's history. It doesn'tneed to be buried. It needsto be allowed to be what itis.

Why does the sun lightenour hair, but darken ourskin?

February 11, 1963A Dublin man , who came

here from Monroe County ina covered wagon during thedays the first brick courthouse was built, is watchingthe new one with keen per-sonal interest. He is J.O.Proctor, tall, stalwart, andalert to the changing times.With his father and an uncle,Mr. Proctor said, they drovehere from just north ofForsyth in a wagon, takingtwo days to make the trip,which was a prospecting pro-ject seeking new lands to cul-tivate. He described the dirtroads, their camp sites, andthe pioneer condition of thetown.It was at that time that

workmen were busy buildingthe 1895 court house, usingan old white mule with ropeand tackle to haul the brick,stone, and other materials.Mr. Proctor recalls that mostof the laborers were Negroesand that the bricks werehauled from Chapman'sBrickyard, which was locatedon the banks of the OconeeRiver just behind what isnow Georgia Plywood Corpo-ration. L. H. Chapman, whooperated the yard, was thegrandfather of C.H. Princeand Mrs. Evelyn Rawls ofDublin, and he built the firstbrick residence in Dublin onEast Gaines street. In thosedays it was considered amansion and had a fountainand a lily pool in the frontgarden.Mr. Proctor said that in

readiness for building thenew court house, the oldwooden structure whichstood in the center of theCourt House Square, wasmoved to what is now the busstation. After its removal itwas used as a blacksmithshop, later converted to ahospital.His eyes twinkled s he re-

called the condition of thestreets which, in rainyweather, were impassableuntil boards were flung downfor crossings. Only a fewstores were to be seen, andthey had covering extendingfrom the doorways over thesidewalks. There was theHooks Hotel, which was laterused as the City Hall, northof the Court House; Dr. R.H.Hightower's office, the firstbrick building in Dublin; agrocery store operated byDavis and Thomas; Phillipsand Brown Stable; DanSmith's Stable; and H.M.Smith's Stable. These clus-tered around the CourtHouse, and other smallstores were scattered about.When the late W.W. Robinsonbuilt a store for his hardwarebusiness on the site now oc-cupied by Clyo's Shop, andthose adjacent, the townspeo-ple snickered behind theirhands, saying that he was"too far out" from the busi-ness center.The Oconee River was

crossed on an old woodenbridge, and in East Dublinthere were only a fewshanties and one sizablehouse, which still stands.Water was drawn from theartesian well in front of thepresent Post Office, andthere were two horse troughson Jackson Street.After this first visit to

Dublin, the Proctors re-turned to Monroe County on-ly to return the next year,where he operated a largefarm located where Rice Av-enue now is, and the fertileacres made one of the mostproductive plantations inthis section until real estatedevelopment.Mr. Proctor is enjoying his

role as spectator at the newCourt House and plans tohave a ringside seat when itis dedicated many months inthe future.

PERRY -DUBLINGAMES TO DRAW JAM-PACKED HOUSEThe Dublin Irish (19-5)

and the Perry Panthers (22-3) will meet on Friday nightat Perry before what promis-es to be a jam-packed housein a game that has all of theindications of being one ofthe best of the season. Twogames will precede the Irish-Panther clash, a 7:00 fray be-tween the Irishettes and thePantherettes, and a "B"

boys'game.The pressure is on the

Irish of Coach MintonWilliams, the team thathanded the Panthers theirfirst defeat of the season,thereby breaking a 50-gamewinning streak, when thetwo teams met in Dublin.Since that time, Perry hasbeen beaten by Lanier of Ma-con and Warner Robins, bothClass AAA teams.For Dublin to win, Tom

Perry , Mike Belote, JamesRay Nslls Chuck Frost, andStump Dominy must scoreoften and rebound regularly.At least four of these playerswill have to hit in double fig-ures if Dublin hopes to keepup with the home-standingPanthers. Frost is set toguard Dwayne Powell, whois bombing the nets at a 29point average this year. Totake up the slack shouldFrost tire, Williams hasnamed Danny Stanley, an-other junior guard. ReggieBelote and Bernard Snell-grove will be ready to dotheir share, for both are goodshooters and could be the dif-ference in victory or defeat.Many Dublin fans have

promised to make the longtrek to Perry.

Associated Press Reports

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope didn’tmake a shot from the field for thefirst time in his career, and Georgiastill found a way to keep its winningstreak alive.Caldwell-Pope then reached a con-

clusion no one would have dared onemonth ago: “We’re a good team.”Georgia overcame Caldwell-Pope’s

off game and beat cold-shooting TexasA&M 52-46 on Saturday in Athens,giving the Bulldogs five straight SEC

wins for the first time in 12 years.Caldwell-Pope, second in the SEC

with his average of 17.8 points pergame, had only 10points — all onfree throws. Hepreserved hisstreak of scoringin double figures in every game thisseason when he sank two free throwswith 17 seconds remaining to helphold off the Aggies’ late comeback.“Every player on the team is con-

tributing,” said Caldwell-Pope, a

sophomore.“I believe in my team and my

teammates believe in themselves. Ihad a bad night. I wasn’t feeling realgood. I was just trying to get the ballto whoever was scoring the most.”Nemanja Djurisic led Georgia (12-

11, 6-4) with 13 points. The Bulldogshave won five straight SEC games forthe first time since winning sixstraight in 2001.Georgia is two games over .500 in

the SEC for the first time since a 9-7league record in the 2010-11 season.

That team won 21 games overall andmade the NCAA tournament.Fabyon Harris led Texas A&M (14-

9, 4-6) with 17 points.Texas A&M made only 4 of 22

shots (18.2 percent) in the half andtrailed 25-16 at halftime. The Aggiesshot a season-low 24 percent from thefield (12 of 50) for the game.“We have to make shots,” said

coach Billy Kennedy. “We have to putthe ball in the goal. We had opportu-nities to score and we didn’t do it, andGeorgia’s defense had a lot to do with

that.Georgia also made only 12 shots

from the field, a season low in sweep-ing the season series with A&M.Georgia coach Mark Fox called the

game “a slugfest, really a physicalgame, a hard-fought game, bothteams really defending.”

East Laurens boys and girlsearned second place in GHSA Region3AA’s sub-region, one by victory onthe court and the other by a coin flip.The Falcons won second on a 40-39

victory Saturday night at Josey andthe second seed in this week’s regiontournament. The girls, who lost in thefirst game of the doubleheader, wonthe flip after both teams finished theregion 1-3 with wins against each

other.East will begin region play

Wednesday afternoon. The girls willplay at 4 p.m, against the winner oftoday’s Harlem-Screven play-ingame while theboys will playtoday’s Harlem-Screven survivor at 5:30.Wednesday’s night session will

have the Josey girls facing No. 2Westside and the Josey boys meetingNo. 2 Laney. Sub-region champions

Dublin and Westside on the boys sideand Dublin and Laney on the girlsawait Wednesday’s winners onFriday.East Laurens won the boys game

when Josey's 3-point shot at thebuzzer was ruled late."He made the shot, but they said it

was still in his hand when the buzzerwent off," Falcons coach JimmyWilliams said. "It was a close one."Marty Lewis had given East (10-

15, 2-2 in 3AA) the 40-39 lead whenhe scored in the lane with five sec-

onds remaining. The freshman, wholed the Falcons with 13 points, wasfouled on the shot, but missed thefree throw giving the Eagles a chanceto win with any bucket.Terrell Roberson added 12 points

for East, which won despite shootingjust 29.2 percent from the floor and50 percent from the line."We pretty much had the tempo on

our pace," said Williams, who hadwatched the Eagles run their way toan upset of sub-region winner Dublinjust a week before. "They got away

with a lot of stuff when they ranagainst Dublin and we didn't wantthat."The Falcons, however, had to

speed up the game late after trailingby as many as 10 points in the finalminute of the third quarter and 33-26entering the last period."The press threw them off a little,"

the coach said. "We were able to takeadvantage of their mistakes."In GISA, Trinity Christian

Champions Gerald andBryce Carr lead 13 West Lau-rens wrestlers who will partic-ipate in this week’s GHSAClass AAAA Traditional StateTournament after their per-formances in the SectionalTournament.Gerald Carr won the title at

152 pounds while Bryce Carrwon at 160 in the event at theRaiders gym. Both are seniors.The top eight competitors in

each class advanced to beginstate eliminations on Thurs-day afternoon.“Carrying 13 out of 14 to the

state tournament is not a badweekend,” said West coach EdBland, whose team’s effort wasexceeded only by Alexander,which will have a competitor inall 14 weight classes.The Carrs will have top

seedings when the actionbegins Thursday afternoon atThe Macon Coliseum. GeraldCarr (42-6) defeated EmilioCondee of Locust Grove in thefinals.“Gerald has had some trou-

ble wining big matches, but hewrestled lights out this week-end,” Bland said. “He won andBryce took a first right behindhim.”Bryce Carr, the school’s

career leader in wins, ran hisrecord to 59-1 this season, witha win against Locust Grove’sChaz Brown 51-6.West also got runner-up fin-

ishes from freshmen EvynInsalaco (106) and JarrettHenry (138), and senior KeyonTaylor (145). Taylor’s title boutwas a match of unbeatens, asopponent Kevin Thompson ofEastside was perfect in 60matches while Taylor hadn’tlost in 45.Henry’s loss was just his

second in 55 matches, withboth coming to Saturday’s win-ner Kenya O’Neal ofHephzibah.The Raiders also will have

Kameron Jackson (195), whofinished third, and fourth-place finishers ChristianSeifert (126), and heavyweightJamal Green in favorablebracket positions. Jackson’sshowing was particularlyimpressive given the fact hecompetes at 10 or more poundslower than the top weightlimit.“All year he’s gone out there

and tried to muscle with thesekids and he’s giving up a lot ofweight,” Bland said. “We toldhim to just wrestle your matchlike you’ve been taught thisweek. He went out there and

Dublin and East Laurenseach will send three wrestlersto next week’s GHSA Class AATraditional State Tournamentafter their performances inSaturday’s Sectional Tourna-ment at Dublin High.Past state champion

D’Angelo Darrisaw heads tothe Macon Coliseum as a topseed after a 1-0 win inSaturday’s finals at 113pounds. Also advancing for theIrish were Matt Horne, whofinished runner-up at 195despite competing with a kneebrace for a torn anterior cruci-ate ligament, and HobieEvans, who was fourth at 106.Moving on for the Falcons

were Zeke George, who fin-ished second at 220, JohnMcCain, third at 145, andDeQuan O’Neal fourth at 132.Darrisaw, a junior who was

a state champ as a freshman,scored Saturday’s title matchpoint with an escape in the sec-ond period.“He chose down and got the

escape in about five seconds,”Dublin coach Craig Necci said.“He stayed neutral the rest ofthat period and rode the guyout in the third.”Horne, a senior, suffered the

knee injury when he took ashot late in last week’s titlematch with the score tied 1-1.“He went to take a shot and

(knee) just gave out,” Neccisaid. “The MRI came backWednesday as a torn ACL. Hetried to practice a little with abrace, but we wanted to protecthim for today and hope hecould make it through.“We’re just glad he could

wrestle at all. He’s a great kidwho deserves another chance(in Macon).”With Horne safely qualified,

Necci defaulted his wreslter inSaturday’s title match, whichwas against the same competi-tor he was wrestling when theinjury occurred.“He doesn;t have anything

laterally,” Necci said. “But asfar as bending and movingother ways he’s doing prettygood.”Evans lost to an entrant

from Greater Atlanta Christ-ian in the seeding match thathe’d beaten in the first round.“(GAC wreslter) ended up

just nipping him the secondtime,” the coach said. “It isn’twhat we’d hoped, but rightnow he’s in the top eight sowe’ll build from there.”George dropped a 2-1 deci-

sion to last year’s state runner-up in Saturday’s finals. After ascoreless first period, the

did it.“He could’ve easily been in the finals with a

break. He lost a close on in the semifinals, butcame back and got third. We’re very proud ofhim.”West’s other qualifiers were: Mark Johnson

(113, fifth); Will Johnson (120, sixth); J.J.Coley (132, eighth); Chase Beasley (182,eighth); and Darion Josey (220, sixth).The Raiders one miss was a tough one to

take. Senior Zach Robinson, who broke hishand six weeks ago, couldn’t overcomewrestling with the injury wrapped in the 170-pound class.“He lost 8-7 and 6-5, and one of those he was

up by three and lost in the last 30 seconds,”Bland said. “He wasn’t anywhere near fullstrength. If he was, he wouldn’t have lost eitherof those matches and probably would’ve wres-tled in the finals.”

Jefferson wrestler recorded an escape early inthe second period.In the final 30 seconds of the period, George

had his man with just one foot on the mat asboth wrestlers went well out of the ring. Whenthe referee blew the whistle the Jeffersonwrestler went sprawling to the mat in a heap.George was hit with an unsportsmanlike

penalty point to trail 2-0. The senior had anescape to begin the third period, but couldn’tget a takedown for the win.McCain won his third-place match 10-3

despite battling a muscle pull in his leg.“He’s OK,” East coach Joe Coley said. “He’s a

different guy. He’s always getting hurt in theweight room or wrestling room so he’ll handleit.”The state’s lower three classes begin compe-

tition on Friday afternoon. The consolation andchampionship rounds are Saturday afternoon.

tured to a locale that had notbeen hospitable to the YellowJackets over the years.A perfect start to the game,

though, led to a perfect ending.Kammeon Holsey scored all

13 of his points in the first halfto lift Georgia Tech pastVirginia Tech on Saturday.Marcus Georges-Hunt

added 13 for the Jackets (13-9,3-7 ACC), who won a true roadgame for the first time thisseason, ending a five-game los-ing skid. They also won inBlacksburg for the first time ineight attempts, and snapped afour-game losing streak to theHokies, avenging a 70-65 over-time loss on Jan. 12.“We’re a much better team

than when we played them,”Georgia Tech coach BrianGregory said. “We’re a muchdifferent team. We’re betterdefensively. We’re better offen-sively — but I think they are,

too. They’ve lost a gazillionclose games, where they’vebeen in the game, just like wehave. Those are hard to bounceback from. That’s why I’mproud of our guys. I thinkwe’ve played competitively inevery game but one. We’remaking progress.”Behind Holsey, the Yellow

Jackets opened a 22-point leadagainst the cold-shootingHokies, who missed 12 of theirfirst 13 shots and 20 of theirfirst 23. The Yellow Jackets led37-15 after a free throw byDaniel Miller with 1:24 leftand led 37-18 at halftime.Virginia Tech’s 18 first-half

points marked its fewest inany half this season. TheHokies hit just six shots in thefirst half and shot 20.7 percent(6 of 29) from the floor.“Our defense is usually

pretty good, and I thought itwas pretty good,” Gregorysaid. “I’m going to be honest.They (the Hokies) just played

at 9 o’clock on Thursday(against Maryland). So you’vegot to try and take advantageof that. We had the same situ-ation where we played aSunday afternoon game andthen played a Tuesday nightgame. So I think that hadsomething to do with it, too.”Virginia Tech coach James

Johnson agreed.“It (playing at 9 p.m. on

Thursday) impacted us a littlebit,” Johnson said. “It affectedus. That’s not an excuse.Everyone in the league has togo through it. It is what it is,but it did affect us with ourshort bench.”The Hokies (11-12, 2-8),

who lost their sixth straightgame, used a 15-1 run in thesecond half to climb back intoit. Erick Green, who came intothe game leading the nation inscoring at 25.2 points, scorednine of those 15 points, and hisbasket with 10:24 remainingcut the lead to 48-37.

Snedeker finally gets win in hot streakAssociated Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — With one lastbirdie, Brandt Snedeker finally had a chance tocatch his breath at one of the best places in golf.He was on the 18th tee at Pebble Beach with

a three-shot lead Sunday as he gazed into thesun at an endless ocean and tried to grasp justhow far he has come in the past few months.There was that big win at the Tour

Championship to claim the $10 million prize asthe FedEx Cup champion. He played in his firstRyder Cup.In his past nine events, he has six top

threes, including consecutive weeks as runner-up to Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.Snedeker wasn’t about to let anyone get in

his way at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.“Just hard to put into words, to have a

stretch of golf like I had the last couple ofmonths,” Snedeker said after his two-shot win.“Something you dream about. Something you

think that you can do, but you don’t really knowuntil you actually put it together. And I have.“I’m really enjoying this, and hopefully can

parlay this into the best year of my career.”He was the best all week at Pebble Beach,

finishing at 19-under 267 to break by one shotthe tournament record. Mickelson (2007) andMark O’Meara (1997) each had a 20-under 268when Poppy Hills was still in the rotation.Snedeker built his lead in the final round by

playing the opening seven holes in 5 under,fired at the flag on the par-3 17th to set up hislast birdie and closed with a 7-under 65, his10th consecutive round in the 60s.A tap-in par on the 18th gave him a two-shot

win over Chris Kirk.The hottest player in golf, Snedeker finally

has a trophy to show for it.“The last two weeks, playing great but run-

ning into two Hall of Famers, really motivatedme to go out and prove that I can handle thelead,” he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —The Grammys spread the love.Fun., whose anthemic and

semi-dark jam “We Are Young”dominated the charts in 2012,won song of the year. Gotye’smassive and oddball pop hit,“Somebody I Used to Know,”picked up record of the year.And folk-rockers Mumford &Sons won album of the yearfor their platinum-selling“Babel.”Fun. also won best new

artist, besting Frank Ocean inan upset.The recording academy had

a clear message at its 55thannual Grammy Awards onSunday night: There are a lotof top acts today with bothmainstream appeal and anedge to their music, and theacademy was happy to rewardthem all.“One after the other, it was

like, ‘And the Black Keys...,’ soI think we just sort of resignedourselves to like, last year wasAdele’s year and this yearwould be the Black Keys,” saidlead singer Marcus Mumford,who thought his band wouldlose album of the year to theBlack Keys.Then Mumford added in a

loud scream once he learnedthey won: “It’s (expletive)awesome!”Dan Auerbach of the Black

Keys, the night’s big winnerwith four trophies, was one ofsix acts with the mostnominations — six each. Hewon non-classical producer ofthe year, while the Black Keysearned the best rock album,song and performance honors.“Thank you to our families

and everybody in Akron, Ohio,and everybody in Nashville,”the band’s drummer, PatrickCarney, said.The Black Keys dominated

the rock category, while Jay-Zand Kanye West did the samein the rap area. But the pop,country and R&B categorieswere a reflection of the topfour honors, with no single actdominating. Winners in thosecategories ranged from Adeleto Paul McCartney, CarrieUnderwood to the Zac BrownBand, and Usher to Miguel.Ocean, Mumford & Sons,

Jay-Z, Kanye West and fun.were also the top nominees ofthe night, and they wonmultiple Grammys.But Ocean — who was

anticipated to win best newartist — won two trophies andwas restricted to the urbancategories. It was anotheryear the Grammys dissed arap or R&B artist from the topawards. Last year, West lost inan upset and in 2011 it wasEminem.Ocean’s official studio

debut, “channel ORANGE,”did win best urbancontemporary album. He alsowon best rap/sungcollaboration for “No ChurchIn the Wild” with West, Jay-Zand The-Dream.But the R&B singer

released one of the year’s mostcritically revered albums lastyear, which made several best-of-the-year lists. He also madeheadlines when he revealedhis first love was a manshortly before the album’srelease.Ocean’s loss to fun. for best

new artist was a shock, butthe band’s win wasunderstood. The pop-rock triohad two of the year’s biggesthits with “We Are Young” and“Some Nights.” Theirsophomore album, “SomeNights,” is also near-platinum.“Making music for 12 years

— you don’t think you’ll getGrammy-nominated,” leadsinger Nate Ruess said

backstage. “Radio andmainstream just kind ofpicked up on (us) and it feelsgood for us after 12 years ofpeople kind of just ignoringyou and always feeling likeyou’re kind of the bridesmaid.”Like fun., Gotye had a

monstrous hit with theKimbra-assisted “Somebodythat I Used to Know,” and itwon record of the year andbest pop duo/groupcollaboration. His album,“Making Mirrors,” won bestalternative music album.Gotye’s three wins were

joined by Black Keys, West,Jay-Z and Skrillex, whopicked up the same trophieshe won last year. “You know what, I thought

I’d get used to it, but I trippedover every word when I wasup there. I felt like I justwanted a pool of ice water andjust couldn’t even breathe orthink,” said the electronic-DJ,who won best dance recording,dance/electronica album andremixed recording. “It wascrazy. I think it was evencrazier than last year.”Double winners included

Ocean, fun., Mumford & Sons,Chick Corea, EsperanzaSpalding and Matt Redman.The various winners of the

night were hard to predict.Mumford & Sons won albumof the year, though the bandlost best Americana album toBonnie Raitt. And fun. wonsong of the year and best newartist, but lost best pop vocalalbum to Kelly Clarkson.The performances — like

usual — was also a reflectionof diversity in music: TaylorSwift opened with her popsmash “We Are Never EverGetting Back Together” andMiguel sang his R&B hit“Adorn” onstage and off of it.“Miguel, I don’t know who

the hell you are, but we needto sing together,” Clarksonsaid when accepting anaward. “I mean, good god.That was the sexiest dancingI’ve ever seen.” The night’s most

memorable performance wasthe tribute to Levon Helm,which featured Elton John,Mumford & Sons, T BoneBurnett and the raspy vocalsof Mavis Staples and BrittanyHoward of Alabama Shakes.They earned a standing

ovation. Jack White, who wasnominated for the album ofthe year, was also well-received Sunday night.Justin Timberlake made a

return to the Grammy stage,performing his new hit “Suit& Tie” and a new song, thefalsetto-heavy “Push YourLove Girl.” Jay-Z joined thepop star onstage, and therewere more collaborations likeit throughout the night.Alicia Keys joined Maroon

5, Miranda Lambert sang withDierks Bentley, and Rihanna,Bruno Mars and Sting paidtribute to Bob Marley. Theywere joined by Damian andZiggy Marley. The crowd sangalong during “Could You BeLoved.”Adele, who was last year’s

big winner with six trophies,won best pop performance for“Set Fire to the Rain (Live).”She said backstage that she’senjoying motherhood and is atthe beginning stages ofrecording her next album.“I’ve been up since 6 a.m. so

I’m quite tired. But it’s nice, Ihaven’t been as stressed out,”she said. “You kind of have toprioritize what you stressabout and worry about whenyou have a child.”———Online:http://grammys.com
