Tilley announces re-election bid
Baxter County Collector Willa Mae Tilley has announced she will seek re-election to a 12th term in that office. A Democrat, Tilley was employed by Collectors Office in 1984 and first elected collector in 1986. Im thankful and appreciate the opportunity to serve as collector for the past years and for the support I received and ask for your continued support, said Tilley.

Taxes paid to the Collectors Office are turned over to the Treasurers Office at the end of each month to be disburse among the taxing entities and also to the 16 improvement district the office collects for which includes all the fire departments in the county.
Week 4: Copy Desks: Indispensable in Real Life, Not Thrilling on TV
Yes, thank God for Wire watchers. They've called us out a couple of times. So far, only two reporters who've been chastised for profanity? Sort of proves our point. Maybe we should get this up on Romenesko and see what comes in over the transom there. On Herc, you're forgetting that Marlo got him fired, by stealing the surveillance camera. I'm not suggesting that Herc would be motivated by selfless idealism to trap Marlo; revenge is enough to get him going. Speaking of The Untouchables, did you notice the obvious nod in Capone's direction during the final meeting between Chief Burrell and Cedric Daniels? The chief picked up his golf club and started smacking his palm with it, just to the east of Daniels' head. I don't mind this at all, nor do I mind the obvious Godfather echo in the killing of Prop Joe.
Terps go halfway; Duke finishes job
Trailing 84-75 with a little more than five minutes left, Maryland made things interesting. Three-pointers by Eric Hayes and Gist cut Duke's lead to 84-81 with less than two minutes left, but Maryland never got any closer.
The victory by the Blue Devils was only their third in the past eight games in this rivalry, and it appeared as if they were headed for another defeat late in the first half when Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski picked up a technical foul.
But the Blue Devils opened the second half with a 22-12 run to take a 64-63 on a three-pointer by freshman forward Kyle Singler.
Duke still seemed to be vulnerable after Singler and junior point guard Greg Paulus each picked up his fourth foul. It didn't seem to matter as Nelson and Henderson continued to make shots.
Educator Robert Marvin Chatman, 85
ROBERT Marvin Chatman, Philadelphia public-school teacher for 23 years, active church leader and Army veteran of World War II, died Thursday of brain cancer. He was 85 and lived in Wynnefield. He taught at a number of local schools and was a tailoring teacher at Germantown High School before his retirement in 1987. Robert was a man of many skills. At one time or another, he took a course for surgical technicians, studied oil-burner service, real estate and pattern-making. He had a dry-cleaning establishment, was a mortician and had numerous jobs as a handyman - all with the aim of better supporting his family. He was born in Honea Path, S.C., to Howard L. and Marie Lewis Chatman. He got his early education in Honea Path and attended the Colored Normal, Industrial Agricultural and Mechanical College, now South Carolina State University at Orangeburg.
Word watch
They're generally radio talk-show hosts or bloggers. Crafty lot, that crowd. In baseball, pitchers throw a pitch that is a slow-moving curveball; it is said to "hang" over the plate like ripe fruit -- available to the batter to hit wherever and however far he likes. The hanging "here" is like that: the end of a long sentence that sets it up, and it just hangs there. The listener can do anything with it. Fox News personality Sean Hannity is the king of the hanging "here." He uses it when he's tired of the sentence he's saying, wants to end it, and can't comfortably end it without leaving a "thud" on the radio. So he ends the sentence by saying "here" instead. "Between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton," he said yesterday, "there's some real animosity here." Keeping track during a half hour of Hannity's program the other day, I counted seven hanging "heres." But Mr.
