At a kids football camp hosted by his foundation, free agent tight end Robert Royal said Friday if he had his choice, he would choose to play for the New Orleans Saints.
The Cleveland Browns released the former Karr and LSU standout in February, and Royal said he would like to return home but remained open to any opportunities that arise.
"Being from here, I'd love to come home and hopefully play at home for one of my years, but that's just me doing wishful thinking," Royal said. "But at the end of the day, I don't mind. An opportunity is an opportunity, and I'll just make the best out of it. So whichever team rings the phone, I'll try and make the best out of it."
Royal, who also serves as a player representative, said he has spent the lockout working out and runining the Robert Royal Foundation.

text: "I experienced an interesting psychological change in the few minutes before and immediately after take off. As I had climbed aboard and strapped myself into my seat I felt tense, strange and extremely nervous. It was as if I was in a fantasy dream world and thought that at any moment I would wake up from this unreality and find that I was back at the barrack room at Bulford camp, where we laughed and sang to raise our spirits- and perhaps to show others that we were not scared- personally I knew I was frightened to death. The very idea of carrying out a night time airborne landing of such a small force into the midst of the German army seemed to me to be little more than a suicide mission. Yet at the moment that the glider parted company with the ground I experienced an inexplicable change. The feeling of terror vanished and was replaced with exhilaration. I felt literally on top of the world. I remember thinking, ˜you've had it chum, it's not good worrying anymore " the die has been cast and it was to be, will be, and there is nothing you can do about it.' I sat back and enjoyed my first trip to Europe. Yet another rifleman who was carried to the beach in the LCVP's relates one of his incidents: "I got on the gun. I set the gun up, and we're looking, we're looking. He says, "See if you can spot him. All of the sudden I spotted him, about 200 yards away, and I'd say about 30 or 40 feet higher than me. He wasn't firing at me. He was firing down across. So when he opened up again " the Germans, when they fire, they fire fast, they don't fire like we did, because they change the barrel of their machine guns in seconds. Ours were a pain. We had to take the whole gun apart and screw the barrel off, and then put another barrel on. They would get hot if you fired them like the Germans. We only fired bursts at three or four at a time. The Germans put their fingers down, they would run a hundred off. Becaus

The background on the 1897 Queen Anne-style church on the aptly named Church Street in Ware, Mass. may not be colorful, but its present and future are, thanks to the new Workshop 13 Cultural Arts & Learning Center.
The old building at 13 Church Street sat empty for over eight years. Once used as a Methodist Church, the last tenant of the building was the former Ware Senior Center. The church is now the workplace of an eclectic group of artists coming together under the name Workshop 13.
The former church was purchased in December of 2012 by local artisan Roc Goudreau and his long-time partner Chris DiMarzio. In the 11,000-square-foot church building, Workshop 13 offers affordable art instruction and do-it-yourself classes taught by many professional and creative artisans from the New England area.
Goodreau and DiMarzio began an extensive refurbishing program both inside and outside the neglected building. Old drop ceilings were removed, the wood paneling that is featured throughout the building was scrubbed clean and, in some places, replaced or refinished. On the exterior, the group also replaced the roof on the building, bringing new life to the space.
On a sunny day, the entire interior of the building is awash in various rich hues reflected from many beautiful, all original, stain-glassed windows. After spending a bit of time in the building, one soon realizes that nearly all the windows are, in fact, stained-glass -- enveloping you in a brilliant, colorful world. Although the building is on a very busy street, once inside, you soon forget about the outside world. One could wander the building for hours enjoying the windows and the multitude of beautiful artwork found throughout the building that has been created by the workshop's instructors.
Workshop 13 began offering classes in September of last year. The instructors who teach at Workshop 13 are mostly local and professional artists. Most recently Gary Lippencott, a fantasy art artist from Central Massachusetts whose art has graced the cover of many books and product labels as well, offered a class in illustration.
Art classes are available at the workshop in many different disciplines. From watercolor to oils, children's illustrations to pastels and computer-generated artwork to photography, the list of class offerings continues to grow. Classes will soon be forming for culinary arts and cake decorating as well.
In addition to painting, sculpting and drawing, the third floor of the old church is occupied by a healing arts studio offering Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Belly Dancing and yoga. Yoga is led by the Workshop 13 Director, Marcella Comerford.
As a community-based entity, Workshop 13 is also engaging other local groups. Students of Eagle Hill School in Hardwick may take various art courses, the Ware Community Theater is exploring staging some acting classes at the workshop, and local poetry writers have held candlelight readings in the building. The Workshop is also partnering with other local businesses. There will be a Sip 'N Paint offered on March 12 at Gheppetto's Grill, and they are currently in discussions on a collaboration with the Hardwick Winery.
The Workshop has received support from local art groups as well as a town Selectman. The building is on the Historic Register as one of the most endangered buildings in the state. While the group continues to work on the inside of the building, they are investigating repairs and updating to the outside of the building. Most notably, they are looking into funding a replacement of the white clapboards on the outside of the building. Current estimates have come in at $70,000 for replacement of the clapboards.
The workshop is also working toward achieving a non-profit status and hopes to become the premiere art school in the region. With students currently traveling to the workshop from both the Worcester area and the Berkshires, word is definitely spreading about the dynamic group.
Workshops and classes at various prices are all listed on the Workshop's website, and a year's membership is available for $150. Visit the website, Workshop13.org, where you can sign up for their email newsletter to be informed of new workshops and classes being offered.

JOHNSTOWN - A West State Street storage business has filed an application with the city Planning Board to add a third building to its business.
S&D Self Storage Units of 34 W. State St. wants to add another building to its two existing storage buildings, owner Shawn McCormick of Greenwich, Washington County, told the planning board at City Hall.
He said the third, 1,350-square-foot building will be about half with the width and 30 feet shorter than the existing two buildings.
The board approved itself as lead agency for the state Environmental Quality Review process required as part of the project. The board also scheduled a public hearing on the storage addition for 4 p.m. Oct. 4 at City Hall.
It was noted the new building has no code or setback issues. The new building will have the same appearance as the other buildings, and the only access will be on the left side of the building. The board asked McCormick about security at his business.
"It has a gate on it, but we don't close it," he said. "But we asked people to go during daylight hours."
McCormick said his business is illuminated at night and the hours will remain the same with the additional building.
He said the estimated $24,000 building project should take about two to three weeks to construct. He listed Ron Hinkle of Fonda as his contractor on his application to the board. McCormick said he is hoping to begin construction in either November or next spring.
The area of construction is near the Cayadutta Creek, and City Engineer Chad Kortz said a state flood plain development permit may be required.
Board Chairman Peter K. Smith said the board will probably take final action on the new building Oct. 4.

Other that all that, things were fine.But Bill Diehl, chief executive of advisory firm BBK, said at the first day of this year's Reuters Autos Summit, that one of the main concerns for 2010 (if it's not THE main concern) is the industry's overall exposure to commercial real estate.We have been hearing about the problems with commercial real estate in many other sectors of the U.S. economy and Diehl gave the strongest statement so far about the auto side.(To hear Diehl\'s comments, please click here)The Reuters Autos Summit continues through Thursday in Detroit and Paris.

Letters to the editor | Jan. 13
It's about equality, period
To the editor,
In response to Guest Opinion by Jeff Rhodes in 1/6/12 POI edition:
Dear Mr. Rhodes,
Question: "When exactly did it become the state's responsibility to validate anyone's relationship or bolster their self-esteem?"
Answer: When the state determined that relationships recognized legally through state-sanctioned marriage would entitle the individuals within those relationships certain benefits that relationships not so recognized do not enjoy, thereby validating those relationships and granting them "special" — if you will — status.
As a citizen of Washington state who supports marriage equality, I'd like to take the opportunity to explain the basic premise of the concept. I'll keep it simple, and free of the paranoid hyperbole of the recent opinion piece published in the Port Orchard Independent, which infers that correcting discriminatory law is using "police power of the state to compel" citizens to ... what? Recognize that we are all equal under the law, even if we think, feel, and speak differently regarding a certain subject? Gasp!
I use for my guide a handy piece available on the Internet called "How to Explain Gay Rights To an Idiot." Please feel free to Google it. It may be easier and more entertaining to follow, as it is accompanied by neat graphics.
To paraphrase:
Marriage is a function of the state and has nothing whatever to do with religion, except by individual citizen choosing.
The state is denying its citizens the same rights that it grants to other citizens. That is unconstitutional. Two people who love each other and are able to consent to marriage should be able to enjoy the benefits of marriage. Period.
Gay and lesbian couples are not asking for anything "special" or additional or different from what straight couples enjoy.
Hope this helps educate those who continue to believe that religion has any authority over the state's recognition of married couples. It doesn't. Actually, religious lifestyle choices are imposed upon gay and lesbian citizens as a justification to limit their access to equality under the law.
Fine. Instead of making state-sanctioned marriage available to all citizens, why don't we remove the state-bestowed benefits enjoyed by currently married couples? Then all personal relationships would be equally ignored under the law, and the state would have no need to "validate" anyone.
Cynthia Fisher

Results tagged ' A.J. Pierzynski '
Saturday's Sox report
The Red Sox played their first road game of Spring Training today, albeit just a few minutes up the road to play the Twins. Here were the significant events.
Nava drills one from the right side: Daniel Nava hadn't faced a live pitcher since the World Series last year when he stepped to the plate for his first at-bat on Saturday. It ended with the left fielder pummeling a homer over the wall in left against Scott Diamond. The most significant thing about it was that it came from the right side. Nava has been a far superior left-handed hitter over the years, so it could make him an even more valuable player if he can start contributing as a right.
Last season, he hit .322 with 10 homers, a .411 on-base percentage and .484 slugging percentage against righties. Against lefties, he hit .252 with two homers and a .311 on-base percentage and .336 slugging percentage.
"I'll take any of them — left-handed, right-handed — it doesn't matter," Nava said. "But, obviously, I know I have work to do from the right side. Any time I can put together a good at-bat, whether the result is a home run or not, that for me is what I'm trying to allow one of the things of Spring Training to be about."
Britton looks like he belongs: Drake Britton looks like he means business this spring. In his first outing on Saturday, he punched out the first three hitters he faced, and four out of seven, giving up just one hit. Assuming Andrew Miller, Craig Breslow and Chris Capuano are all on the team, whch seems likely, that leaves Britton without a roster spot.
However, the Red Sox don't want him thinking about that.
"Do just what I've been doing," Britton said. "I've been told, 'Don't change a thing,' just keep doing what I'm doing, and that's what I'm focused on."
Pierzynski even booed in Spring Training: The one thing the Red Sox haven't had in recent years is a player who gets booed all the time on the road. Don't be surprised to see A.J. Pierzynski get his share of jeers. As has been well-chronicled, he is one of those players the opponent loves to hate. Pierzynski even heard it from the fans at Hammond Stadium on Saturday as he stepped in for his first at-bat. Pierzynski played along, tipping his cap..
"Whatever," said Pierzynski. "It's fine … [I] expect nothing less. It's fine, just one of those funny moments. It's good."
Webster still trying to prove himself: When Allen Webster arrived last spring, he dazzled everyone by throwing in the upper 90s. However, he might have set himself back. Webster was trying to impress his new team, so he sacrificed command for velocity. Today, Webster still looked like he was trying to find himself, displaying some of that same spotty location that marked his abbreviated stints with the Red Sox last year.
It could just be a case of Webster trying to refine some of his new mechanics.
"Delivery-wise, he was a guy who went over his head with his hands and was a little bit stagnant with his movement, where he'd begin his delivery and pause at the top with his hands at the top of his delivery," said Farrell.
And how will that adjustment help him?
"It takes the tension out of his shoulders and, in some ways, it's comparable to when Clay [Buchholz] made the adjustment, as well," said Farrell. "You would see Clay begin a game — every pitcher — as they're trying to get into the flow of the game, there's anxiety and there's some uncertainty — and that translates to some tension.
"The key with Clay was, let's work to get the first ground ball on the infield. Then, you could see the tension come out. This is taking it out naturally by the adjustment in delivery. It just feels more loose and fluid."
Grady gets a hit: Grady Sizemore played for the second time in three days, and belted a single to right and the last of this three at-bats. The plan is for Sizemore to get two down days and then resume action on Tuesday. However, Farrell said Sizemore could then get another break from game action after that game. The Red Sox are obviously trying to find the right balance to keep Sizemore healthy.
Quip of the day: Johnny Manziel — A K A Johnny Football — paid a visit to Red Sox camp in the morning as part of a sponsorship appearance.
"Maybe he'll come take over for Tom Brady," said A.J. Pierzynski, who then added, "I'm joking, I'm joking!!
Sunday's activity: Felix Doubront makes his first start on Sunday. Edward Mujica, who could be a key man in the bullpen, makes his debut. Regulars Dustin Pedroia, Will Middlebrooks, Mike Napoli, David Ortiz, Xander Bogaerts and Jonny Gomes should all see action.
Wrapup from first Grapefruit League game
The Red Sox had another first today, facing Major League competition for the first time. The opponent? The Minnesota Twins.
Prospect dazzles: The most noteworthy development was the lasers that purred out of Anthony Ranaudo's right hand. The top prospect mowed down all six Twins hitters he faced, striking out four of them.
Ranaudo doesn't come across as cocky. But he does have the type of confidence that is usually necessary to succeed at the Major League level.
"I don't really want to say I was surprised, but maybe a little surprised because some of them were up in the zone, even some early in the count. Obviously I've got to do a better job of bringing the ball down, but I wouldn't say I was surprised," Ranaudo said. "That's what I'm going for every time I go out there — either swing and misses or weak contact or getting outs. I don't like to use the word surprised, but I guess maybe in that context, some of them were up in the zone, but it felt good to get those swing-and-misses, for sure."
Miller rusty: Perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that Andrew Miller looked rusty pitching in a game for the first time since breaking his left foot on July 6 of last season. The lanky lefty walked three of the five batters he faced.
"It takes him some time to time up that delivery," said manager John Farrell. "Six-foot-eight, there's a lot of moving parts there. It's good for us to see him on the mound after coming off last early July because of the torn ligament in the foot. Spring Training is here to get him online."
Offense quiet: Aside from Mike Napoli, the Red Sox didn't have much to show in the way of offense. The cleanup man went 2-for-2. The other regulars who played, Jonny Gomes, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks, were all hitless. Farrell could only laugh when WBZ radio reporter Jonny Miller jokingly asked him if he was worried about the offense.
Saturday's info: A.J. Pierzynski will play his first game in a Boston uniform on Saturday against his original former team, the Minnesota Twins. Daniel Nava, slowed by a neck strain, will play his first game this spring. And Grady Sizemore will play for the second time in three days as he continues his comeback attempt.

Matthews, who Monday qualified last week at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., only to miss the 36-hole cut with rounds of 77 and 74, shot a 69 to take the third of four spots in the final qualifier for this weekend's play at Trump International Golf Club.
He played in the Puerto Rico event last year, too, and missed the 36-hole cut.
PGA Tour players will be in two spots this week -- the $3.5 million Puerto Rico Open and the $8.5 million World Golf Championships-CA Championship (top money winners) on the Blue Monster at Doral in Miami.
Matthews, 30, a Canadian Tour golfer, will be playing in his sixth PGA Tour event.
The former Michigan Amateur champion and seventh-year touring pro, has played in the Buick Open twice, the Puerto Rico Open last year, the Honda Classic last week and the 2007 U.S. Open on the PGA Tour.
He had a top finish of second (falling in a playoff) last year on the Canadian Tour.

Beth Stelling
[COMEDY] Stelling, a Midwestern-born comic with a flair for dry jokes about tilted uteruses and her stepmother's drinking habits, is a woman to watch. Catch her live as part of Sean Jordan and Shane Torres' reliably great Funny Over Everything showcase, which also features a few local openers. Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd., 281-4215. 9:30 pm. $10. Read our interview with Stelling here.
Sherry and Tea Tasting
[BOOZE] A tasting of a six Emilio Lustau sherries, from dry to the nearly criminal raisiny sweetness of Lustau's cream sherry. The bar will also offer a $12 sherry and tapas pairing, featuring boquerones, sherry-garlic mushrooms and housemade chocolate alongside appropriate libations. Bar Vivant, 2225 E Burnside St., 971-271-7166. 2 pm-2 am, 7-8 pm complimentary tasting. $12 sherry and tapas pairings.
Zakir Hussain and the Masters of Percussion
[PERCUSSION DISCUSSION] Already a legendary tabla prodigy in his native India by the time he was in his 20s, Zakir Hussain gained worldwide fame in the West thanks to his collaborations with Ravi Shankar, Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart, Van Morrison, George Harrison, John McLaughlin (in the pioneering world music/jazz-fusion band, Shakti) and more. Hussain regularly tours with fellow percussion virtuosos, resulting in frequently astonishing and explosive fusillades of beats. This time, he brings prizewinning co-percussors from various North and South Indian traditions, plus sitar and sarangi masters, and the first Western drummer to join the party: Steve Smith, formerly of Journey. BRETT CAMPBELL. Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 SW Broadway, 248-4335. 7:30 pm Friday, March 21. $10-$75. All ages.
Yellow Ostrich, Pattern Is Movement, Thumpers
[MODULAR POP] Yellow Ostrich is technically a solo project, but there's no way loop pedals can orchestrate the galactic visions of Alex Schaaf's latest offering, Cosmos. A casual listener may not hear much more than a polite fusion of Local Natives' choral yearning and Menomena's wonky rhythms, but as a casual listener myself, I must admit the results are nothing short of pure indie-pop bliss. PETE COTTELL. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St., 231-9663. 9 pm. $12. 21+.
Ikonika, Magic Fades, Ben Tactic, Lincolnup
[ETERNAL SYNTH] South London producer Ikonika's Contact, Love, Want, Have exploded notions of what bass and dubstep could be in 2010. Now, Sara Abdel-Hamid has turned her flair for experimentation to food. 2013's Aerotropolis is oddly inspired by cuisine, with songs like "Mise en Scene," "Mr. Cake," "Manchego" and the stylistically sweeping closer, "Zen Sizzle," working that theme. That's not to say it isn't intriguing, though. Musically, it's more concerned with 1980s Italy than the futuristic city of its title. Whatever her flavor, Ikonika's talent is as eternal as the synths she loves. MITCH LILLIE. The Rose, 111 SW Ash St., 971-544-7330. 9:30 pm. $8. 21+.
Saturday, March 22
Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction
The Nerdist-approved event, which involves 11 comics writing and performing original stories about Harriet the Spy and Hamlet, returns to Portland. It's a wonderfully bizarre and predictably profane affair, and audience suggestions are encouraged, so bring your raunchiest literary fantasies. The Blue Monk, 3341 SE Belmont St., 595-0575. 6 pm Saturday, March 22. $10.
Raiders of the Lost Archives
For 24 hours beginning at 10 am this Saturday, amateur librarians at the Independent Publishing Resource Center will play Indiana Jones. Itâs not quite as exciting as it sounds. There will be no rolling boulders, Nazis or dancing cobras. Actually, youâll just be helping the IPRC pen abstracts, stick on barcodes and add an ancient trove of 20,000-plus zines into a database. In exchange for all that free labor, the IRPC will give âfun prizesâ to the volunteers who catalog the most pages and zines, and to the group that shows up with the best costumes. Independent Publishing Resource Center, 1001 SE Division St., 827-0249, irpc.org. 10 am Saturday-10 am Sunday, March 22-23.
Saintseneca, Vikesh Kapoor, Battlehooch
[DOOM HYMNS] Saintseneca frontman Zac Little should have a good deal on his mind, assuming New Age Appalachian folk with an indie-rock leaning doesn't end up being merely a fad. With an excellent debut LP and surefooted follow-up, Dark Arc, his band is on the verge of breaking big. Lead single "Uppercutter," wrapped in intricately layered harmonies and faint dapples of piano, scuffles along at a pace akin to Low, whereas the hesitant optimism of "Happy Alone" chugs with detuned electric guitar and light post-punk percussion. "I'll be alone," sings nasal-throated Little before the rising synth plinks. "So happy alone." BRANDON WIDDER. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St., 231-9663. 9 pm. $10 advance, $12 day of show. 21+.

Maz Jobrani
One of the founding members of the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, the Iranian-born Jobrani is known for a bridge-building style of standup that mines misconceptions about the Middle East. He brings his new solo tour, My Lion Is Moist, to the Aladdin for a one-night stand. For a Q&A with Jobrani, visit wweek.com. Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave., 234-9694. 7 pm Sunday, March 23. $39.50-$99.50.
Linda Perhacs
[MUSIC] Parallelograms, the psych-folk singer's obscure 1970 debut, was a trippy, elliptical spin through high-hippie-era Topanga Canyon. Its Internet-age rediscovery has led to Perhacs' follow-up album, The Sound of All Natural Things, which, though less anarchically arranged than its predecessor, finds the dental hygienist by day's soprano well-preserved. The Old Church, 1422 SW 11th Ave., 222-2031. 8:30 pm. $17. All ages.
Afternoon High Tea
Man, when my friends in college said "afternoon high tea" they meant something totally different. But OK, I get it. This is more of a scones/corned beef/quinoa fritter/radicchio sort of thing than Doritos and a vaporizer. Apparently it's the afternoon that's high, not really the people drinking the teas. The British, you see, fill up their stomachs and their caffeine receptors midday, daintily sipping pinkies-up and chomping cheesecake bars and radicchio coleslaw, while America toils endlessly through the afternoon. No wonder they've long since given up their dreams of empire, while we can't even unwind our spools enough to leave Afghanistan. TeaZone and Camellia Lounge, 510 NW 11th Ave., 221-2130. 11:30 am-4 pm. $22.95-$25.95.
Slint Documentary w/ local Filmmaker Lance Bangs
In 1991, at an underground music club in Asheville, N.C., Lance Bangs heard an album so weird and wondrous it would obsess him for the next two decades. That record, Spiderland, was by Slint, a band from Louisville, Ky., that had already broken up by the time the now Portland-based music-video director discovered it. Breadcrumb Trail, Bangs' documentary on the post-rock pioneers, germinated in that moment. Twenty-three years later, it's finally done. Breadcrumb Trail is at the Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd., on Sunday, March 23. 7 pm. $8. Read our interview with Bangs here.
Bertrand Chamayou Plays Chopin
[PIANO CONCERTO] The Oregon Symphony is helping nurture the next generation of classical superstars. Even younger than last week's featured violinist, Hilary Hahn, is pianist Bertrand Chamayou. This award-winning French ivory-tickler joins the symphony for a presentation of the moody Chopin classic Piano Concerto No. 2, dreamed up in 1830, when the composer was only 20. Tonight's program also starts with an early work by Olivier Messiaen, the distinctly edgy "Forgotten Offerings" and ends on a more staid note with Brahms' Symphony No 4. NATHAN CARSON. Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 SW Broadway, 248-4335. 7:30 pm Saturday-Sunday, March 22-23. $27-$110. All ages.
Daniel Rossen, William Tyler
[SPEAK IN ROUNDS] In terms of pure songwriting merit, I'd argue that Daniel Rossen—Grizzly Bear co-songwriter and Department of Eagles frontman—deserves a spot on the Mount Rushmore of 2000s songsmiths. Rossen's slippery, elliptical jams never stay in the same place twice. Even sparse ballads like "Saint Nothing," from his 2012 solo EP, Silent Hour/Golden Mile, have a movement on the surface that only heightens the beauty underneath. These are intricate, heady folk-pop songs, but his talent lies in the way he can take a tune like Grizzly Bear's "Sleeping Ute"—which sounds like Steely Dan covering the 13th Floor Elevators—and make it warm and welcoming. Rossen is touring solo for the first time, so hopefully we'll hear all of Silent Hour/Golden Mile and a few new masterpieces to add to the canon. MICHAEL MANNHEIMER. Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Ave., 288-3895. 9 pm. $13.50 advance, $15 day of show. 21+.

HAMBURG — A man and woman were found dead after a shootout Saturday night between state police troopers at a house police were called to for a domestic disturbance, officials said.
Troopers said a Hamburg Borough police officer arrived at the home on Chestnut Street around 9 p.m. and was fired at from inside the house before he even got out of his car. The officer took cover, fired back and wasn't injured, troopers said.
State troopers said they were called to the scene, were also fired at and returned fire.
Berks County District Attorney John Adams said the gunman was found dead inside the house and his mother-in-law was found dead from gunshot wounds outside the house.
Officials have not released the names of the people killed.
Adams said it was unclear whether the woman was shot by the man or police. The incident is still under investigation.
Also in the house were the man's wife, their 7-year-old child and her father, Adams said.

A three-person recall committee — comprised of residents John Lynch, Riaz Wahid and Martha Larkins — sent a certified letter to the City Clerk's office Friday.
Lynch said the letter was signed for. City Clerk Robert Byrne said today he has not personally seen it yet.
Byrne must review the recall committee's notice of intent and approve it before the committee can begin collecting signatures. Those petitions would require signatures of 25 percent of the registered voters in the city.
Byrne is also responsible for notifying the elected officials who the recall is being brought against, in this case City Council President Peter Brennan, Councilman Mariano Vega and Councilwoman Willie Flood.
Lynch along with resident Esther Wintner rallied hundreds of residents at City Council meetings after city officials introduced a budget with a hefty tax hike.
Lynch said the recall effort is in the very preliminary stages and there isn't much to say about it yet.
Larkins said she would reserve comment until the committee hears the petitions were accepted.Wahid released a statement saying he has no interest in running for office, but is frustrated.
"This is nothing personal, these people whom we are recalling are individually very nice people, when I approved most of them with problems or suggestions, they always listened," he said. "I have joined the recall committee because like many city residents, I am frustrated by our elected representatives."
Lynch said the group is soliciting volunteers to create committees to launch recall efforts against Ward A Councilman Michael Sottolano, Ward C Councilwoman Nidia Lopez, Ward D Councilman Bill Gaughan and Ward F Councilwoman Viola Richardson.
Those committees must be comprised of registered voters living in the ward.
Ward E Councilman Steven Fulop and Ward B Councilman David Donnelly are not being targeted by the committee at this point.
The recall committee has been soliciting volunteers on local website JCList.
"I believe the people of Jersey City deserve leadership that is committed to aiding us in our day-to-day struggles. I have grown frustrated of seeing my taxes go up with nothing to show for it," Wahid said in his statement. "Consequently, this recall petition will be circulated in order to give residents a chance to elect new representatives who will take their responsibility to us, the voters and taxpayers, seriously; and who will act in our best interests, protecting our rights, our families, and our livelihoods."

Recently-fired Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson left with a parting shot for the two assistant coaches he clashed with this season, both of whom have Boston Celtics ties.
During a Wednesday interview with the NBA's Sirius XM radio station, Jackson called out both Brian Scalabrine and Darren Erman without using their names. Scalabrine was demoted to the Warriors' D-League affiliate midway through the season after reportedly going five weeks without speaking to the head coach. Erman, who served as a coaching assistant in Boston under Doc Rivers, was later fired reportedly for recording private conversations among the Golden State players and coaches because he believed members of the coaching staff were badmouthing him within the organization.
The Celtics rehired Erman this offseason as director of NBA scouting; Danny Ainge recently told the Boston Globe he is "not concerned at all" about what happened with the Warriors. Ainge also fondly recalled Erman's work ethic and said the Celtics "hated to see him go" a few years ago when he left for the Warriors.
Jackson was mostly tight-lipped about the situations with Scalabrine and Erman when he still held his job, but unleashed more criticism after the Warriors let him go this week.
"The one that was demoted (Scalabrine), I would have had handled it six weeks, a month, two months earlier," Jackson said on the radio, as transcribed on SI's Point Forward blog. "The things that took place from his side, I would have nipped it in the bud initially. That's my fault for allowing it to go on. I'm pretty much a guy, just like ministry, I try to show you a different way of handling it. Hope that seeing me handle your disrespect, you'll come around and realize this isn't the way to handle it. Fortunately for me, it works for a lot of folks, there are some folks that just won't get it and you have to handle them differently. I would do that differently.
"As far as assistants, you have to pick people who are loyal and dedicated. It's inexcusable what the second assistant (Erman) did. That cannot be tolerated. For folks to say, two situations, it's obviously documented that they both were 100 percent wrong. The only fault I got is hiring those guys. I would use wisdom in who is around me."
Jackson said his only fault was hiring those guys, but he's reportedly had beef with assistant coaches dating back at least to last year. Scalabrine was beloved at every stop as a player and got along with just about anybody, but could not forge a bond with Jackson. Erman built a good enough reputation with the Celtics -- an organization that places a high value on the ability to get along with others -- that they hired him back as soon as he became available.
The common denominator in both of those poor relationships was Jackson, whose personality has been described by Grantland's Zach Lowe as "a strange brew of braggadocio, inspiration, and insecurity." Lowe reported that the Warriors have looked into allegations that another assistant coach in addition to Erman also secretly recorded conversations. After Erman was fired, according to Bleacher Report's Ric Bucher, management "treated (him) as if he were still part of the organization." Per Bucher, Erman was invited to a viewing party for a road playoff game and to the Santa Cruz Warriors' championship game. Before he left for Boston, he had dinner with assistant general manager Kirk Lacob, the son of owner Joe Lacob. Weird, right?
Whatever happened with the Warriors was a mess. Many parties deserve blame, including Erman, who should not have been secretly recording conversations. Complicating matters further: Jackson was pretty good as a coach, but not perfect, and despite everything his players seemed to have his back. Joe Lacob admitted to three Bay Area media members about Stephen Curry, "I think he's disappointed, because I think he loves Mark Jackson as a friend and as a coach."
Just a bizarre dynamic, it really was.
Simply, GSW decided Mark Jackson wasn't a good enough coach for the execs to continue dealing with his personality. Failure on both sides.— Tim Kawakami (@timkawakami) May 8, 2014
Jackson sounded a bit insecure on the radio while describing what can go wrong on a staff, like maybe he felt some of his assistants were gunning for his job rather than aiming to help his team.
"I'm not saying these guys, I'm just saying in general, you get some loyal guys and you get some guys that are looking for a gray area or an edge," he said. "I'm not saying these guys, but I'm just saying it's an environment where you can add to that or nip it in the bud initially.
"Some people are pretty determined to be successful in life. Some people, it's not enough to go from being a bottom assistant to moving up another step and another step. Some people are anxious and excited to try to climb all the way to your seat. That's unfortunate. Because whatever job I've been called to do, I want to do that job with everything in me, and have no eyes on anybody else's job. That's just not how I do business."
At least once, though, that might have been exactly how he did business. In 2003, Sports Illustrated's Ian Thomsen reported that Jackson turned several Utah Jazz players against long-time star point guard John Stockton by convincing them they would be better with Jackson in the lineup. Jackson denied the allegations, saying, "I'm a born leader, and if people take that as manipulation, then maybe they haven't been around leaders. I make no apologies for embracing people and talking to people and making them feel like they're important. Maybe in the past those stray dogs have been left on the side, but that's not the way I treat people." But according to Thomsen, head coach Jerry Sloan once "lost his temper over the divisiveness on his team," "stormed out of the gym during practice," and "was threatening to retire then and there, only to be dissuaded at an emergency meeting called by team owner Larry Miller, president Dennis Haslam, general manager Kevin O'Connor and Sloan's wife, Bobbye."
An interesting read about the reported Jackson-Stockton beef can be found here. Obviously a lot of time has passed since then. We don't know all the details of what happened in Utah and a man should not be judged on how he behaved more than a decade ago.
Anyway, this isn't about tossing dirt at Jackson. It's just painting a picture about why the Celtics might have felt comfortable hiring Erman despite the reports about his secret recordings. Also, Erman has a highly-respected basketball mind and a reputation for working very hard. Those traits help and the Celtics know him well from his four years with the team. They trust him no matter what happened on the West Coast.

Hello fellow followers.
I have recently persuaded my doubting husband to follow me on the primal quest since he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at the end of 2012. He has jumped in with both feet and within 3 weeks his sugar level dropped from 21.5 to 11 and his cholesterol is down from 8.5 to 4.5.
Our big questions to all you who are far ahead on the journey are:-
1. Can he expect to be able to stop taking his meds if he stays true to the path?
2. He has a lot of pain in his feet due to nerve damage - will this ever be reversed?
We look forward to hearing from our Primal Pals
So much will depend on how bad the damage is. If he still has a partially functioning pancreas there is a chance he may be able to get off the meds if he is very strict.
There are a number of small studies out there showing the benefits of low-carb eating.

Illahee Trust purchase is a done deal
"There was joy in Illahee Tuesday afternoon.And also Olympia, where Kitsap County Commissioner Chris Endresen and Illahee Community Club officers Audrey Boyer and Judith Krigsman attended this month's Department of Natural Resources board meeting.The board approved the sale of the 352-acre Illahee Trust Land forest to Kitsap County for $4.9 million.The county will pay $1 million immediately, with the balance payable over the next eight years, according to DNR spokeswoman Jane Chavey.Part of the land will become an active park, with ball fields and picnic grounds, administered by the city of Bremerton's Parks and Recreation Department. The rest of the land, including some older growth forest, will be preserved with trails and interpretive signs for the public to enjoy, under the county Parks and Recreation Department's jurisdiction.This is truly a win-win situation, new Commissioner of Public Lands Doug Sutherland said at the meeting.The Department of Natural Resources and Kitsap County have worked a long time to make this transfer happen. The people of Kitsap have a wonderul forest for recreations, funds will help build schools this year, and we will receive the funding necessary to buy replacement property to benefit future school children, Sutherland added.And he smiled when he spoke, said Illahee resident and neighborhood activist Audrey Boyer. Boyer and members of the Illahee Community Club and its predecessors have been fighting for 22 years to secure the forest for a county park and preserve it from commercial development.I was just delighted, said Boyer, who battled a cold to attend the Olympia proceedings. We've waited and watched so long, when it happened I almost didn't believe it.The real heroine is Chris Endresen. She's worked for years and years and years on this. She's very good at negotiating things, she's been with us right from the start, Boyer said.Endresen's negotiating powers were put to the test last month, when the deal was nearly derailed by dueling appraisals of the land.The county and the DNR were miles apart on a price after at least eight appraisals.The DNR also declined at the last minute the offer of a parcel of land near Lake Tahuya as part of a swap for the Illahee Trust Land. Endresen showed up at 9 a.m. on the dot for the DNR board meeting, even though the Illahee matter was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. But the meeting went on and on, she recalled. Finally Sutherland recognized the Illahee group, which made the trip especially for their issue, the commissioner said, and put the agenda item forward.It passed unanimously.She was so thrilled she called Commissioner Tim Botkin on his cell phone while he was at the Kitsap Transit board meeting Tuesday.Botkin immediately relayed the news to the gathering: That was Chris, she said the state just signed off on Illahee. Said Judith Krigsman, vice president of the Illahee Community Club, I am proud to live in Kitsap County. To get a school levy (the South Kitsap School District's) passed, and the Illahee forest, in one day is almost too much to handle.Endresen said the next step is to get the purchase agreement from the state, review and pass it at the next county commissioners meeting.Then the fun can begin.We'll start planning a community celebration, Endresen said.

The Distributive Impact of Land Markets in Uganda
This article presents first-hand evidence about land distribution and the impact of land markets in central Uganda. This area is characterized by unequal distribution of land inheritance, rural-rural migration, and active land markets. We show that land markets, and particularly land purchases, tend to reduce the initial inequality in the initial (inherited) distribution of land. Land purchases by landless farmers in their native village represent an important part of this adjustment.

Lemme tell youse guys….I saw Missouri live…that's a pretty good football team, better than three or four teams on our schedule last year, we have more quality depth…or we did, and I don't expect to get beat up there in the Zoo, but it will not be easy or dull…trust me.
Concur. They are good and will be a load. We need to be at our best as their passion and emotion will be at a crescendo for that first game in the conference. Hope to be out there for the game.
Unless a lot changes betwixt now and then, Georgia should still beat Mizzou by two scores.
Mizzou has the fewest returning starters on O in the conference, and tied for least total returners overall. It shouldn't be too tough.
On the other hand, UGA beat Vandy by 4 points last year…
I am glad CMR handled it and got the suspension out there for the team to work with. I have to say Mizzou is the one game I wish he were available for. I think UGA looks to be better but they are wide open on offense, and I expect that opening SEC game to be something they will point for all Spring and Summer. Glad our coach doesn't play games with when punishment is handed out.
They did go 7-5 last year and lose a bunch of contributors and some starters.
And we did win the SEC East last year…
True, I am not conceding the game to them at all. I do think Mizzou will be emotionally high for that home game, which means anything can happen as the best team doesn't always win. The bigger point is with Commings and Boykin both not available, we will be playing, arguably, the best passing attack on our schedule with both of our 2011 starting CBs gone. Bad timing.
This is ridiculous. I've read nothing so far about the situation that has warranted going ahead and suspending him for games set to occur 7 months from now. Suspending him from team activities for the time being might be appropriate but this is overkill. It may be appropriate to issue this suspension (or worse) at some point but that is yet to be determined.
Maybe Coach Richt knows somethings that you haven't read in the paper or online.
Maybe he should inform the authorities then.
Maybe it's something that isn't pertinent to the investigation, but still warrants the suspension. Like the ever-popular "violation of team rules."
Maybe they know it too. It would be a shame, but you just might be the last to know.
I guess we'll find out. I'm willing to bet this charge gets dropped.
It was reported elsewhere (ajc?) that the suspension was made but pending further review by UGA and ACCPD
This makes zero sense. Either:
a) He put his hands on his girlfriend and he should be kicked off the team, or
b) He didn't put his hands on his girlfriend and he is asked to remove the unstable component from his life between now and the Buffalo game.
c) He put his hands on his girlfriend in a very mild manner, so that she wasn't injured, and deserves some kind of a punishment in between nothing and the death penalty.
+1. Everyone should calm down a little bit about the suspension.
Whatever happened to running a kid's butt off on the Sanford Stadium aisles until his nose bleeds every morning at 6AM for how ever many days it's deemed appropriate to fit the "crime"? Football players love to sleep-in and hate to run, so that would get the point across. We're killing ourselves with this loss of playing time. I know there needs to be punishment but we suspend one heck of a lot of guys every year. (Or so it seems…just sayin').
+1. Great points.
I've seen too many cases of "internal punishment" to believe it's anything other than a cop-out. It's kind of like a coach suspending a kid for the opening series of a game. It's pretty weak.
Suspending players for games aligns the players' motivations with the coaches' motivations. The players want all the playing time they can get, and the coaches want the best players on the field.
I think Sean Connrey had it about right in regards to what women sometimes need from their man.
I think we're dealing with a boisterous drama queen here.
Per S. Emerson:
One of the witnesses named on the arrest report also wasn't reached, while another stated she did not see the incident, but picked up the girlfriend and that she "did not have any marks, but that she was very upset and crying and yelling."
Two other witnesses who were with Commings did speak, including former football player Jeremy Longo, who retired from the team last year because of injuries. Longo told the investigator that he, Commings and a third witness, Kyle Green, were leaving Magnolia's (a downtown Athens bar) when Commings' girlfriend "walked up and started talking with Mr. Commings … she grabbed his jacket and said 'you are not leaving without me' or words to that effect." Longo then said he stepped between them, and the girlfriend again grabbed Commings' jacket.
"Mr. Longo said that Mr. Commings knocked her hand off him and pushed her away, but not in a hard manner," the report reads. "Mr. Longo said that when she was pushed, that she did not fall down, but did not know where on her body Mr. Commings pushed her."
Apparently, Sanders just wanted to get away from her while she tried to cling to him.
If no charges are filed, the suspension doesn't smell right.
I think Coach Richt and Sanders Commings have talked about this in detail. I don't think Seth Emerson has talked to Sanders Commings.
No, he hasn't.
The comments after the quotation marks are my own.
I live in a "diverse" Georgia community. At my neighborhood convenience or grocery store, or general public atmosphere, I often witness confrontational behavior by loud, obtrusive young women that used to be unthinkable.
Weighing what evidence we are privy to at this point, I think Sanders is a victim of an "Oh no, you didn't!" moment.
Apparently, UGA has no set punishment policy for such incidents, and I suspect Commings may be gettin' hosed on general principle when he was just minding his own business.
Something does smell about this.
When I read Seth's article I drew the same conclusion as you- this is headed for a dismissal for Sanders and maybe charges against some women. So now I think Sanders told CMR something that he couldn't ignore.
I just don't believe that CMR is going to suspend a player based upon what you and I have read so far.
(Obviously, I'm a Richt loyalist.)
I cannot remember a time when CMR was not fair with a player. The story right above this one, dealing with how CMR handles player transfers is a perfect "case in point" of the man's goodness and fairness.
I trust he is doing the right thing without unnecessarily airing the involved people's laundry for all to see..
He's earned my respect and admiration in his handling of this type of thing.
Perhaps, Richt feels compeled to do "something" due to the alleged transgression involving a female. Or he knows more than the police report or witnesses have said. One game, maybe…two, on the face of it, excessive. Come on, Richt…make a statment and clarify this. Cummings needs it going forward.
I don't doubt that Richt has clarified it with Commings. Does he need to clarify it with anyone else?
Georgia missing a key defensive player in a big SEC game…
Gee, that's new…
You can say that again
Pingback: Post #133: Thursday Morning Hangover « sugarfalling
Good thing he didn't text her "Time to die, bitch." Had he done that, he might have received a five game suspension.
Well probably only one game. We need him back for all the big games, and Mizzou constitutes that, right?
Sanders Commings gets slapped with a two-game suspension…
I see what'cha did there. Well played.
Dammit. The last two sentences shouldn't be in italics.
I would think there is a possibility this suspension is reduced, pending the how the legal part plays out. I'm reminded of when Boling was busted for DUI – I can't remember the specifics, but Richt announced a suspension shortly after it happened. When the charges ended up being dropped (well, reduced to "wreckless driving"), Richt dropped the suspension from two games down to one. So I'm thinking Richt is announcing this suspension to get ahead of the situation, but could always reduce it if Sanders ends up being as innocent as he claims he is.
Methinks you have devined the true strategy, Rev. (Pun intended)
If that's the case, Richt is a moron.
How so?
Because the activities that he's being suspended for are half a year away and the outcome of this investigation is still in doubt.
If Richt feels that he's a distraction and needs to be suspended from team activities for the time being, fine. But this course of action doesn't make any sense.
Billy. Really? CMR is a moron? You had to post that? I hope your wife reads that and smacks u.
Bless your heart.
Then your wife will get suspended for 2 games based on recent precedent. What position does she play? I hope not DB.
I would think suspending him from team activities would be potentially a more detrimental punishment. Richt can always take back or reduce the number of games he is suspended, but wouldn't be able to take back all the missed conditioning and so forth that Commings would lose if he were suspended from team activities right now (as we know, this is a pretty critical time of year for strength & conditioning). Announcing the games suspension rather than just suspending him from team activities actually gives more wiggle room – to the benefit of the player.
That half a year also allows time for the outcome of this investigation to be reached at which point Richt can adjust the punishment according to what the exact legal outcome is, just as he did in Boling's case. Why should Commings be punished now for something that is, as you say, still in doubt? Besides, the biggest asset Richt has to either offer or hold from a player is playing time. You may still think he is a moron, but I think he is just being fair at this point.

BATON ROUGE -National Guard troops will be able to seize school buses as needed to evacuate stranded refugees from hard-hit Hurricane Katrina's stricken areas, state officials said Thursday.
National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Pete Schneider, said the order, signed by Gov. Kathleen Blanco late Wednesday, means "we are going to take the buses. We need to get people out of New Orleans.. . . .Either they will give them up or we will take them.''
Blanco's executive order requires that local school officials in areas that "remain substantially operational following the passage of Hurricane Katrina" provide the state Office of Homeland Security with an inventory of school, buses and drivers in their areas.
Blanco's order said the buses "shall be made available . . .for the
mass transportation of Hurricane Katrina evacuees, accompanying law
enforcement personnel and necessary supplies to and from areas of concern to areas of safety.''
Blanco Executive Counsel Terry Ryder said although the order allows the bus-taking for evacuations, the intent is to leave some buses in some areas to transport children to school.
Neither Ryder not Schneider would say how many buses may be needed in the evacuation.
"We are hopeful this will not require the disruption of schools.
Schneider said that it is possible a bus from Caddo Parish in northwest Louisiana may be pressed into service in the New Orleans area, Blanco's order also requires the school officials to make sure that at least one police officer ride in each bus and at least two more police vehicles accompany every 10 buses.
The order also suspends through Sept. 25 the state law, which authorizes free bus transportation for students.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Rob Chudzinski is one and done as head coach of his beloved hometown Cleveland Browns. Chud was fired after meeting with team officials following a deflating season-ending 20-7 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
"We appreciate Chud's passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally. We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year," the team said in a statement announcing his firing at 9:35 p.m.

Minneapolis, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- The Minnesota Twins have agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract with right-handed pitcher Mike Pelfrey, the team's website announced on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Pelfrey is coming off Tommy John surgery this past May and still had to pass a physical before the deal could become official.
That surgery came after a strong start to last season with the New York Mets, in which Pelfrey put up a 2.29 earned run average in three starts.
A career sinkerball pitcher, Pelfrey has a career earned run average of 4.36 with 506 strikeouts and 318 walks across 896.1 total innings pitched.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy continued to argue his innocence of federal charges that he bribed former Gov. Don Siegelman, and he blamed political operative Karl Rove for orchestrating their prosecution.
In 2006, Scrushy and Siegelman were convicted on federal charges of bribery and fraud. A federal jury in Montgomery found that Scrushy arranged $500,000 of donations to pay down debt for Siegelman's failed 1999 lottery campaign. In exchange, Siegelman reappointed Scrushy to the Certificate of Need Board, which regulates hospitals and other health service providers in Alabama.
While the defendants have long argued that Siegelman did not personally benefit from the exchange, Siegelman had personally signed on the lottery campaign's debt. That debt was paid, in part, by the donations arranged by Scrushy, and at least one of those payments was made after a political action committee for the lottery campaign had been dissolved.
In the interview with Huffington Post, Scrushy argues that prosecutors presented no evidence of a pay-for-play scheme and that only one witness testified that any such deal was ever made. That witness was former Siegelman aide Nick Bailey, who Scrushy accused of making a "snitch deal" with prosecutors.
In fact, several witnesses testified about the donations and CON board appointment, including Siegelman's campaign finance consultant, two former HealthSouth executives and a banker from UBS who helped disguise the donation as coming from a Delaware nursing home company.
Scrushy blamed Rove for orchestrating a political prosecution of him and Siegelman, and he said his only regret was that he did not take the witness stand in his own defense.
"I wish now that I had testified, but sitting through the trial, anyone with half a brain seems like would have said there's no evidence against these men," Scrushy said. "Under the law, you have to have some evidence to convict someone of criminal activity."
Scrushy served about six years in federal custody until he was released last year. Siegelman remained out on bond while he exhausted his appeals and today is in federal prison.
According to Scrushy, they never thought prison was in their future.
"We thought we were all going to beach that weekend," he said.

Price Butcher entered the final day of the Louisiana Golf Association Junior Amateur Championship one stroke off the lead.
He knew was playing well Friday at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, but playing one group ahead of the leaders Butcher, a rising sophomore at Newman, didn't know how well his round stacked up in the overall picture.
He quickly found out once he got to the scorer's table and turned in his 3-under-par 68.
Butcher, 15, finished with a 54-hole total of even-par 213 (71-74-68) and won the overall championship, finishing two strokes ahead of New Iberia's Micah Goulas and Ponchatoula's Blake Caldwell, who finished tied for second.
"After I turned in my score I found out I had the lead," said Butcher, who admitted he never knew for sure he had the lead though he snatched a share of it early on in the back nine. "I felt like I could win with the way I played today.
"I had two bogeys through the last four holes, which kind of upset me, but I made birdie (No. 16) after my bogey (No. 15), and then had a bogey on No. 17 but made par on No. 18, so I wasn't too ashamed."
Butcher entered the third round tied for third place with Drew Gonzales (Lafayette), Jacob Wyatt (Bossier City) and Caldwell. They trailed 36-hole leaders Corbin Cantrell (Benton) and Goulas.
In the final round, Cantrell shot a 75, and Goulas couldn't seem to gain any traction with three birdies and three bogeys to finish with a 71. Wyatt shot a 76. Butcher and Caldwell (73-72-70—215) started strong and it turned into a two-golfer race down the stretch, with Butcher playing one group ahead of Caldwell.
Butcher and Caldwell were tied as Butcher was putting the finishing touches on a par on the par-5 18th hole and Caldwell was teeing off behind him. Caldwell, a rising senior at Ponchatoula High School, hit his tee shot out of bounds to the left and finished with a double-bogey.
"That tee shot was a full description of my entire final nine holes," Caldwell said. "I wasn't hitting my driver or my 3-wood very well on the range. I normally don't judge how I am hitting on the range as to how I am going to hit on the course. I hit my 3-wood decent on the front and a couple good drivers, but I wasn't sure about it. Even though I took 3-wood on No. 18 instead of driver I still missed it. It wasn't nerves because I didn't know where I was (on leaderboard). I was just going to play the hole like I always do."
The ending capped a duel between Butcher and Caldwell on the back nine, though it was somewhat unbeknownst to the two because of their different groupings.
With birdies on No. 4 and No. 8, Butcher made the turn at 2-under 33 and quickly rode the momentum on the back nine when he birdied No. 10 and No. 12 to move to 4-under for the round.
As Butcher made his move to the top, Caldwell, playing one group back, also began to roll. Caldwell was 4-under through 13 holes thanks to birdies on the first, fourth, fifth and ninth holes. He and Butcher were tied at that point.
Caldwell bogeyed No. 14 as Butcher was bogeying No. 15. Butcher bounced back with a birdie on No. 16 thanks to sticking a 90-yard approach shot within 10 feet of the hole and draining a birdie putt.
Butcher bogeyed the par-3 17th hole, and when Caldwell followed with a par at the same hole, the two were tied at 3-under for the round heading to the 18th hole. Coming off the bogey at the 17th hole, Butcher missed a birdie putt on No. 18, but closed out with a par putt.
"You are going to get some rough stretches out here, but you have to make your way through it and focus," Butcher said. "That's the most important thing."
Jamison Thomassee of Opelousas shot a 1-under 70 and was the lone other golfer besides Butcher and Caldwell to shoot under par in the third round.
Goulas, a rising sophomore at New Iberia-Catholic, felt he hit the ball well but missed placing his shots where they needed to be on the greens for a better score.
"I played well the whole day, but I missed some spots on the greens," Goulas said. "I was in the wrong spot too many times."
Thomas Ruli of Mandeville and St. Paul's, shot a second consecutive 71 to finish fourth with a three-day total of 75-71-71—217, and Stephen Wall (75-73-71—219) of Madisonville finished tied for fifth with Cantrell (68-76-75—219).

It's the newly invented place for people who take care of roads from Battle Creek to Grass Lake.
You never heard of Jackhoun? That's not surprising, because the name is made up. The concept is real.
Jackson County Administrator Michael Overton this month proposed an organizational chart for a partial merger of former road commissions in Jackson and Calhoun counties.
Jackhoun, or whatever it will really be called, would share one administrative structure for road work. The adminstration would be initially staffed largely by people who now work for Jackson County. Sharing costs would save the county hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in salaries.
The new system should improve road services such as patching and plowing, Overton said, because Calhoun trucks near the county line could cross over and work inside Jackson County.
With all respect to the administrator, that scenario has a flaw.
Unless Calhoun County leaders have succumbed to previously unnoticed urges to spend their resources helping Jackson County, they will expect Jackson County trucks to cross the line, too.
Line-crossing by road crews must be done equally, because the idea is doomed if either side suspects it gives more than it receives.
Saving hundreds of thousands of dollars is great, and I cannot claim to know a single reason why Jackhoun won't work.
All I know is it's a big change, and it developed with unusual speed by government standards.
Jackson County commissioners abolished the old Road Commission in January to take control of what is now called the Jackson County Department of Transportation. No one mentioned then that it could be the first step for merging with another county. Merger talk was well advanced two months later.
If the Road Commission was so bad it needed abolition, how did its administration suddenly become so good it can be farmed out?
The potential merger must rest partly on the premise that administrative staffing at the former Road Commission was so bloated or underworked that those people have time to absorb duties in an extra county.
It is difficult to imagine how commissioners can know that is true after running the operation so briefly.
Everyone enjoys saving money, but I'd wager 10 pounds of coney sauce, or some other precious material, that those same commissioners would consider it foolhardy if someone proposed cutting costs by sharing Overton and his administrative staff with Calhoun County.
The merger is not a done deal, but government consolidation is so fashionable that approval looks likely. If it works, some county officials suggest it could open the door to similar arrangements with other counties.
Who knows? Maybe someday we'll have Jacksdale, Jackstenaw, and Jackawee, too.
