Editor's Note: The Herald-Citizen newsroom staff compiled a summary of our most-read stories of 2024 based on page visits to our website. 1&2. Suicide reported on Tech campus Saturday, Nov. 2 The two most read stories of 2024 concerned the suicide of Tennessee Tech University junior Philip ‘Ethan’ Haynes on Nov. 2. According to the university, a then-unnamed student committed suicide on the campus’ A Street, between Dixie Avenue and North Peachtree Street in the hours before Tech’s homecoming parade. Three days later, Tennessee Tech President Phil Oldham informed the campus community of the student’s identity. Haynes, from Nashville, was a conservation biology major. He had married his wife, Desiree, in September. In a GoFundMe campaign set up to support Haynes’ family, he was described as “a beloved husband, son and friend.” The campaign has raised almost $6,500. 3. Cookeville man arrested after Walmart shooting, June 17 Ethan Chase Wilmoth, 26, was arrested by officers from the Cookeville Police Department June 15 after a shooting at the South Jefferson Avenue Walmart. Wilmoth was accused of firing at his uncle after an argument in the store’s parking lot. Wilmoth’s uncle was allegedly grazed by the bullet, which continued in the direction of the building. Wilmoth was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm. The charges were dismissed by Putnam County General Sessions Judge Steven Randolph in August. 4. Six students score perfect 36 on ACT, Nov. 25 For perhaps the first time in Cookeville High School history, six students scored a perfect 36 on the ACT college entrance exam. Trace Anderson plans to attend Tennessee Tech and study civil engineering. Jonathan Hill and Peter Goodman are headed to Brigham Young University, where Hill plans to study software engineering and Goodman is considering photonics, the science and technology of light. Brayden Gallagher plans to major in history or political science on a pre-law track. Samuel Canfield plans to study mechanical engineering, and Katherine Smith is a current early decision applicant at Vanderbilt for applied mathematics. 5. One dead after early morning shooting, March 12 One person died in an early morning shooting in the parking lot at Hooligan’s Half Irish Pub March 12. According to the Cookeville Police Department, the body of 36-year-old Christopher Posey was found when officers responded. A press release said Posey suffered injuries “consistent with an apparent gunshot wound.” Authorities said the shooting seemed to be an isolated incident, and there was no reason to believe the public was in any danger. According to the CPD, the shooting is still under investigation. 6. Upper Cumberland Regional Airport handles first ever 737, March 21 The 737-400 was launched in 1985 to fill the gap between two other models of aircraft the Boeing Corporation made — the 737-300 and the 757-200. It has capacity to hold 188 passengers, but the Upper Cumberland airport has not yet been certified by the FAA to offer commercial passenger service, although efforts to offer commercial passenger service are underway. "The freight companies have reached out to us before, but this is the first time we've ever ground handled a 737," airport manager Dean Selby said. "They called ahead of time and said we need to pick up some freight and asked if (the airport) could handle it. We looked at the weights, and everything was fine." The aircraft landed at the 6,700-foot runway and was on the ground for just over an hour. Once it was loaded, the plane took off for a "just in time" delivery to Illinois. "We'll probably start seeing this a little more often," Selby said, noting that the 737 is "quieter than half the aircraft that we already handle." Typically, such aircraft have flown in and out of airports in Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga or Smyrna. 7. Cookeville man faces drug charges after traffic stop, March 25 Jerred Ryan Griggs, 34, of Cookeville, was arrested on March 21, following a traffic stop by the Cookeville Police Department. According to a report by Officer Zachary Davidson, Griggs allegedly consented to a search of his vehicle, which yielded a container containing what was believed to by fentanyl, a cut straw and several small baggies. Griggs also consented to a search of his phone, where officers allegedly discovered evidence that Griggs was selling the fentanyl. Griggs’ case has been bound over to the Putnam County Grand Jury. His next court date is scheduled for Jan. 23. 8. Cookeville council votes to save Christmas parade, Oct. 24 After a week of controversy surrounding new rules regarding the Cookeville Christmas Parade, the city council announced that they would continue the tradition of the annual event. "We wanted to make sure there was a Christmas Parade, and we know that there has, to be honest, been some controversy of how it was going to move forward," Mayor Laurin Wheaton said at the time. "At the end of the day, I think this council wanted a Christmas parade. We want something for the community. And we have come together, and we are going to try this for this year." The council's decision came about a month after a group called the Cookeville Christian Christmas Parade, LLC began circulating a 12-page application form requiring parade participants to sign a "statement of faith." The annual parade had previously been organized through a committee with the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. Last year, for "safety reasons" that committee excluded the Upper Cumberland Pride group from participating in the parade, and the chamber president said that led to "malicious attacks" against her and the chamber, which led to the chamber officials' decision not to participate in the parade this year. The controversy sparked by the new parade rules led to the formation of another group, Cookeville Inclusive, whose members were in discussion to host an inclusive holiday parade. The Cookeville parade this year was scheduled for Dec. 14 but was ultimately postponed and then canceled because of windy and rainy weather conditions. Cookeville area churches hosted a Happy Birthday Jesus Party on Dec. 21 in the First Baptist Church parking lot with free food, bounce houses, train rides, balloon animals, live nativity and worship celebration with cake. 9. Arson suspected in early morning fire calls, Jan. 10 A Brush Creek man was arrested Jan. 10 after a series of fires were started at several Cookeville businesses early that morning. According to the Cookeville Fire Department, beginning at Chipotle on Interstate Drive, someone went to several businesses damaging gas meters and setting them on fire. Chief Benton Young said a quick response from firefighters kept the damage contained. In all, the CFD said damage was reported at Chipotle, Cheddars, Buffalo Wild Wings, Logan’s Roadhouse and Drake’s, where the alleged perpetrator was confronted by workers pressure washing the parking lot. 49-year-old Gary L. Collins was later arrested by the Cookeville Police Department and charged with vandalism and three counts of arson. His arrest warrant estimated he had caused approximately $20,000 worth of damages. Collins pleaded guilty in Putnam County Criminal Court Jan. 29. 10. Community mourns loss of Upperman student, Oct. 30 UHS Senior Cameron Kelly was killed Tuesday, Oct. 29, from injuries sustained in a car crash in Georgia. "Cameron will be remembered for his kind heart and infectious laugh," reads his obituary. "His larger-than-life personality drew people to him and allowed him to minister to those he loved when they were struggling or hurting. He shared his heart and his love for Jesus not just here, but all over the world."I'm A Celeb favourite Coleen Rooney just wants Rebekah Vardy to 'shut up and leave her alone'Preview: RB Leipzig vs. Eintracht Frankfurt - prediction, team news, lineupsHome | News | Opinion G20 Keeps The Idea Alive Opinion: G20 keeps the idea alive Though overshadowed by wars and the return of Trump, the summit in Brazil raised debates on revitalising multilateralism By Telangana Today Published Date - 26 November 2024, 11:55 PM By Akhil Kumar, Anudeep Gujjeti Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies met last week in Brazil for their annual summit overshadowed by two major wars and the return of Donald Trump as President of the United States. As the world is increasingly becoming interconnected and facing challenges such as climate change, energy volatility, hunger and poverty, and growing economic and social inequality, a multilateral forum like G20 aims to address them as they affect every border, continent and ocean. The G20 was formed in 1999 against the backdrop of the financial crisis of the late 1990s that hit East Asia and Southeast Asia in particular. It aimed to secure global economic stability by involving middle-income countries. Over the years, the grouping agenda has expanded to address a wide range of global issues, reflecting the evolving challenges of the international community. It became a crucial platform where world leaders actively engaged in dialogue and coordinated actions to navigate the complexities of global order. Non-Traditional Security Citing data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, which states that 733 million people are undernourished in 2024, Brazil President Lula da Silva inaugurated the “Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty” at the G20 summit. At a time when global discourse is dominated by traditional security concerns such as increasing military budgets, protecting national boundaries, strengthening military alliances and building national defence, the formation of alliance brought non-traditional/non-conventional security back into the spotlight. In 2015, all 193 UN member states adopted the ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ which aimed to end poverty and hunger, and achieve food security and improved nutrition by 2030. The progress, especially in reducing poverty, inequality and hunger, was severely hampered by systemic and regional factors like Covid-19, supply chain disruptions and conflicts in multiple regions of the world. In his remarks at the session on ‘Social Inclusion and the Fight Against Hunger and Poverty’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi supported Brazil’s initiative of the alliance and reiterated the adverse impacts of conflicts on Global South’s access to “food, fuel and fertilizer.” Interestingly, it was in Brazil during the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio 20), 2012, a process was launched to develop a set of sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, one area where the summit remained elusive was of climate change. Considering that it happened while the Conference of Parties (COP) 29 negotiations were under way in Baku, Azerbaijan, there were high expectations from the summit over concrete outcomes on climate change but the G20 statement did not directly refer to any move away from fossil fuels. This in turn caused fears and dilemmas among the negotiators at COP29. The return of Trump could mean a setback to climate change negotiations as he is dismissive of climate change and is a pro-oil and gas supporter, whose campaign slogan had been “drill-baby-drill”. According to experts at COP29, less-developed countries might need about $1 trillion a year assistance to turn green and without US’ financial and technological support these countries will be pushed towards fossil fuels to meet their energy demands. Claimant over Global South Moreover, as the idea of the Global South gains traction, India and China, two prominent Asian powers and members of BRICS, continue to jostle for leadership within this emerging bloc. Ahead of the G20 Summit, the two nations reached an agreement to disengage along a contentious Himalayan border, an area that witnessed the 2020 Galwan Valley clashes. During the summit, Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping articulated their vision for leadership in the Global South. India emphasised that global conflicts have a disproportionate adverse impact on developing nations, and advocated the need for peace and cooperation for their progress. Hinting at greater support for Global South, President Xi outlined China’s commitment through eight key initiatives, including the promotion of a “high-quality” Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a cornerstone of China’s foreign policy that channels substantial investments into infrastructure projects across the developing world. Additionally, China, in collaboration with Brazil, South Africa and the African Union, announced the launch of the ‘Open Science International Cooperation Initiative.’ This initiative aims to facilitate the transfer of scientific and technological innovations to benefit nations within the Global South. As a forum for dialogue and cooperation, G20’s success is contingent upon its efforts to strengthen both its legitimacy and its operational efficacy Many countries within the Global South have expressed growing concerns about Chinese policies, particularly where Chinese loans have burdened developing nations such as Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Kenya. However, it is undeniable that China’s economic footprint in the Global South, through extensive loans and investments, remains significantly larger than that of India, despite its recent challenges with stalled economic growth. India seeks to strengthen its relationship with countries in the Global South, particularly in Africa, by addressing human-centric and multidimensional concerns such as food security, energy and health. However, achieving a transformative impact on the challenges faced by developing countries requires a more substantial allocation of financial resources to strengthen these partnerships. While India emphasises equity and inclusivity with reforms in multilateral institutions to represent the interests of the Global South, China, on the other hand, is positioning itself to shape a new global order, where it assumes the role of the dominant player. Wars Divide G20 The wars raging in Europe and West Asia dominated the discussions at the summit. In their final joint communique, leaders adopted a more neutral stance in addressing the conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and Lebanon, reflecting a cautious approach to these complex issues. During the summit, Ukraine launched longer-range US-supplied missiles into Russian territory for the first time, prompting Moscow to revise its nuclear doctrine. This escalation raised concerns among G20 leaders, further intensifying the tension surrounding the conflict. Although some of the European countries wanted a direct reference to Russia over its role in the conflict, the final communique refrained from it, leaving Ukraine’s Western allies disappointed. Similarly, there wasn’t any direct reference to Israel over its actions against the Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah in the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. The G20 members, which include strong supporters of Israel like the US and Argentina, as well as pro-Palestinian nations such as Turkey, reaffirmed the urgent need to enhance humanitarian aid to the region. They also called for a ceasefire and reiterated their support for a two-state solution. As a forum for dialogue and cooperation, the G20’s success is contingent upon its efforts to continually strengthen both its legitimacy and its operational efficacy, ensuring that it remains a relevant and influential platform for addressing global economic and political challenges. Despite receiving comparatively less media attention than previous iterations, the latest summit raised debates on the necessity of revitalising multilateralism, supporting the Global South, and discussions on issues of non-traditional security aspects such as combating hunger and poverty, addressing climate change, and ensuring energy security.

Raw milk nearly killed her son. Now avian flu is bringing more attention to its risk

Whenever I pull a prank, which generally involves my grandchildren, whose maturity level is way above mine, I think outside the box. Whenever I pull a prank, which generally involves my grandchildren, whose maturity level is way above mine, I think outside the box. This is a wise strategy because I can’t fit inside the box. And even if I could, the air supply to my brain would be cut off and I’d be even more immature, which admittedly would make me a better prankster. Still, I proved to be a pretty good one when I pulled a birthday prank on my wife, Sue, with a box I didn’t have to think outside of. That’s because I got inspiration from the best prankster I have ever known: my longtime buddy Tim Lovelette. Sue, Tim and I were members of the notorious class of 1975 at Saint Michael’s College in Vermont, where our shenanigans were even crazier than those in the 1978 frat-house comedy “National Lampoon’s Animal House.” Maybe we should sue for theft of intellectual property. Anyway, while Sue was an innocent bystander and I engaged in silly but mostly harmless pursuits that seldom involved actual schoolwork, Tim set the standard because his pranks not only were pulled on a daily basis, but sometimes involved live snakes. When Sue and I recently met up with Tim and his wife, Jane, whom we hadn’t seen in a long time, Tim excitedly told me about Prank-O, a company specializing in gift boxes for products that don’t exist. That’s why, like my head, the boxes are empty. “It’s American ingenuity at its finest,” Tim assured me. “You have to look into this.” I called Prank-O, which is headquartered in Minnesota, though not in a big-box store, and spoke with head honcho Ryan Walther. “I thought I had it made because I’m paid to write stuff that has no redeeming social value,” I told him. “But you pull pranks for a living. It sounds like a dream job.” “That’s why I do what I do,” said Ryan, who was one of the original partners in The Onion, the satirical news outlet that lives up to its name by making readers cry with laughter. “It has served me well in life.” His life as a prankster began as a kid, when he discovered the brilliance of the Pet Rock, a collectible toy made in 1975 by advertising executive Gary Dahl, who put small rocks inside cardboard boxes with air holes (for breathing, of course) and sold more than a million of them. “That guy was one of my heroes,” said Ryan, who went on to co-found Prank-O in 2009, when he and his business partner, Arik Nordby, fulfilled their dream of injecting laughter into the solemn ritual of gift-giving. Now 50, with a wife and four kids who are “bewildered” at what he does and parents who are “proud that their son is an empty-box baron,” Ryan has grown up (sort of) to run a company (pranko.com) whose amazing products include the Squirrel Hot Tub, the Noggin Net and the Dream Griddle. There’s also Roto Wipe (“Say goodbye to costly toilet-paper costs!”) and the Pasta Recycler (“Make used pasta almost like new again!”). “These products don’t actually exist?” I asked. “That’s right. We sell empty boxes for $8.99 each,” said Ryan, who went on “Shark Tank” in 2018 and got businessman and show judge Mark Cuban to offer $640,000 for a share in the company, although the deal fell through. “But you did prank him,” I pointed out. “Yes. The world needs laughter and we’re here to help,” said Ryan, adding that gift-givers can put real gifts in the empty boxes. One of his favorites is the Pasta Recycler, which I got for Sue as a birthday present. “What’s this?” she wondered after she unwrapped the box, which I filled with uncooked spaghetti because her real gift, a raincoat (isn’t it romantic?), wouldn’t fit. “My gift to you,” I cooed. “Happy birthday!” “Is this a prank?” Sue asked. “Yes!” I answered proudly. “Here’s another one,” she said. “We’re having pasta for dinner. And you can make it.” Jerry Zezima writes a humor column for Tribune News Service and is the author of seven books.
