Google to invest $600M in new Clarksville data center

CLARKSVILLE (AP) — Gov. Bill Haslam says Google will invest $600 million to bring the company’s eighth U.S. data center to Clarksville. The Republican governor and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd made the announcement Tues- day. The move, which will be the company’s 15th data center globally, is expected to cre- ate 70 new jobs. Google acquired the former Hemlock Semiconductor site in Clarksville, which it will transform into the data center. Construction on a polysilicon plant began at the site in 2009, and the facility was nearly complete when Hemlock announced in 2013 it would not begin manufacturing there because of disputes with China over tariffs and an oversupply of the compound used in solar energy panels.

Sullivan Co. sheriff dresses as Santa, brings gifts to jail

BLOUNTVILLE (AP) — Sullivan County Sheriff Wayne Anderson, complete with a white beard and red suit, made a visit to the county jail to deliver gift bags to inmates. Media outlets report that An- derson visited all 578 inmates in the jail Tuesday. Anderson says “a lot of them have done bad,” but that “everybody deserves a Christmas.” Churches filled the gift bags with hygiene items, including shampoo and deodorant, and treats like candy. Good News Jail & Prison Ministry helped deliver the gifts. Jail chaplain Kent Pugh prayed for the inmates and their families as he traveled with Anderson from cell to cell. Anderson had some of the inmates sing “Jingle Bells” with him. Anderson has dressed as Santa and delivered gifts for six years. The gifts have been provided for 10 years.

Nation in Brief

Woman found in California fridge had been there since 2014

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say the body of a woman found inside a refrigerator in a Santa Ana garage last week had been there for over a year. The Orange County Register reports Santa Ana police Cpl. An- thony Bertagna says a couple who placed the body in the fridge told police the woman was Ri- carda Reyes-Villalobos, a relative from Mexico under their care. They claimed they didn’t report her death to authorities because of their immigration status. The body was found Dec. 17 by a homeowner who had been cleaning the garage. The couple had been renting the garage before moving out in September. They told police they put the woman’s body in the refrigerator when she died in August 2014. The Orange County coroner has not yet identified the body.

New research: Devastating Washington landslide no outlier

SEATTLE (AP) — Last year’s devastating landslide in Oso was no outlier, according to a new study from the University of Washington. The landslide wiped out a neighborhood north of Seattle and left 43 people dead when it roared down a hillside above the north fork of the Stillaguamish River. It was the deadliest landslide in U.S. history. In a novel method, university geologists used radiocarbon dat- ing of trees and branches buried in earlier slides as well as a review of erosion characteristics to map the history of landslides in the area. They found that slopes in the area have collapsed every 500 years on average, and with even greater frequency in the past millennium: every 140 years or so. The authors say the study dis- proves the notion that the previous slides in the area all occurred thousands of years ago after the ice sheets retreated. “This was well known as an area of hillslope instability, but the question was: ‘Were the larger slides thousands of years old, or hundreds of years old?’” co-author Alison Duvall, an assistant professor of earth and space sci- ences, said in a news release. “Now we can say that many of them are hundreds of years old.”

Delta Air Lines flight makes emergency landing in Texas

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — A Delta Air Lines flight bound for Atlanta from Mexico made an emergency landing at Corpus Christi International Air- port in Texas after experiencing problems with its air conditioning. Airport spokeswoman Kim Bridger tells the Corpus Christi Caller-Times that the problem Wednesday caused about six people to fall ill. The newspaper reports no passengers required medical attention. Bridger says the airport’s public safety division, including peace officers, firefighters and emergency medical services, met the plane on the runway when it landed and helped bring affected passengers into air-conditioned spaces.

Lillian says she feels special on her birthday and wanted to make others have the same experience on their birthday. The gift box contains everything needed to throw a birthday bash. The program was Lillian’s idea and is being carried out by the church and school.

COOKEVILLE — As the HERALD- CITIZEN continues its look back into the events of 2015, there was a common theme that seemed to run through each sports season — championships. And with championships came ap- pearances in the state tournaments for respective sports which is the H-C No. 5 sports story of 2015. It was a prosperous year for many teams, but especially Cookeville High as its teams and student-athletes reached the state tournaments in boys and girls soccer, track and field, cross country, wrestling and boys golf. But that wasn’t all. The Upper Cumberland also saw four representatives in the high school basketball tournaments with the Clarkrange and Pickett County girls as well as the White County and Clay County boys.

Angel, who recently signed with Ole Miss, had a well-balanced season as he ran for 356 yards and seven touchdowns on 38 carries, then was the Cavaliers’ leading receiver, catching 25 passes for 379 yards and four touchdowns. “Two years ago, when he decided to come here, we knew we were going to get a tremendous athlete and an even better young man,” Maynord told the HERALD- CITIZEN. “It’s not very often at Cookeville High School that we get an SEC-caliber player. He’s a very athletic young man, he has great skills athletically, and we’re looking forward to watching him play in the SEC the next four years.”
