TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Republican Chris Christie left the New Jersey governor’s office with his popularity in tatters, but at least he didn’t break a leg.

Christie is the first elected New Jersey governor in more than two decades not to suffer a broken leg while in office.

— JON CORZINE: The Democrat broke his leg during a serious vehicle accident on the Garden State Parkway in 2007. He also suffered broken bones in his chest and back and spent more than a week in critical condition.

— JIM MCGREEVEY: The Democrat fractured his left femur during a walk on the beach in Cape May in 2002.

— CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN: The Republican fractured her right leg while skiing in Switzerland in 1999.

Former Obama administration Justice Department official Eric Colum-bus dug up the nugget on Twitter Tuesday after Christie was replaced by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy. He noted that the Democrats broke their left legs, while the Republican Whitman broke her right leg.

The last elected New Jersey governor to leave office without breaking a leg was Democrat Jim Florio, who left in 1994.

Christie’s lieutenant governor was not as lucky. Kim Guadagno broke her elbow and wrist while riding a bike in October 2014. She was serving as acting governor at the time because Christie was out of the state.

Christie was hospitalized after an asthma attack in 2011.

Christie ends term unpopular, but with legs left unbroken

SALVO, N.C. (AP) — A shipwreck recently uncovered by storms along North Carolina’s coast could have gone down more than a century ago.

North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch shipwreck expert Nathan Henry tells The Virginian-Pilot that the wooden vessel could belong to one of 10 ships that ran afoul of the Outer Banks’ treacherous shoals and storms in the early 1900s, but its exact origin is yet unclear.

He also says the remnants could be something the Civilian Conservation Corps placed there for dune building in the 1930s.

Storms regularly expose shipwrecks claimed by the so-called Graveyard of the Atlantic, but this could be the first time these remains have been seen.

Henry says the next nor’easter may reveal more to the ship, offering clues to its size and origin.

Shipwreck exposed on Outer Banks could be a century old


Today is Tuesday, March 27, the 86th day of 2018. There are 279 days left in the year.Today’s highlight in history:

On March 27, 1968, Soviet cos-monaut Yuri Gagarin, the first man to orbit the Earth in 1961, died when his MiG-15 jet crashed during a rou-tine training flight near Moscow; he was 34.

On this date:In 1513, Spanish explorer Juan

Ponce de Leon sighted present-day Florida.

In 1625, Charles I acceded to the English throne upon the death of James I.

In 1794, Congress approved “An Act to provide a Naval Armament” of six armed ships.

In 1884, the first telephone line between Boston and New York was inaugurated.

In 1912, first lady Helen Herron Taft and the wife of Japan’s ambassa-dor to the United States, Viscountess Chinda, planted the first two of 3,000 cherry trees given to the U.S. as a gift by the mayor of Tokyo.

In 1933, Japan officially withdrew

from the League of Nations.In 1942, during World War II, Con-

gress granted American servicemen free first-class mailing privileges.

In 1958, Nikita Khrushchev became Soviet premier in addition to First Secretary of the Communist Party.

In 1964, Alaska was hit by a mag-nitude 9.2 earthquake (the strongest on record in North America) and tsu-namis that together claimed about 130 lives.

In 1977, in aviation’s worst disas-ter, 583 people were killed when a KLM Boeing 747, attempting to take off in heavy fog, crashed into a Pan Am 747 on an airport runway on the Canary Island of Tenerife.

In 1980, 123 workers died when a North Sea floating oil field platform, the Alexander Kielland, capsized during a storm.

In 1998, the Food and Drug Administration approved the drug Viagra, made by Pfizer, saying it had helped about two-thirds of impotent men improve their sexual function.

Ten years ago: The Pentagon said Defense Secre-

tary Robert Gates had ordered a full inventory of all nuclear weapons and

related materials after the mistaken delivery of ballistic missile fuses to Taiwan.

Five years ago: Lawyers for Colorado theater

shooting suspect James Holmes said he would plead guilty to the attack that killed 12 people and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty. (Prosecutors rejected the offer, but Holmes ended up being sentenced to life in prison anyway.)

Former South African President Nelson Mandela was admitted to a hospital for pneumonia (he was dis-charged 10 days later).

One year ago: U.S. Attorney General Jeff Ses-

sions warned so-called “sanctuary cities” they could lose federal money for refusing to cooperate with immi-gration authorities; city leaders vowed to intensify their fight against the promised crackdown despite the financial risks.

NFL owners meeting in Phoenix approved the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas 31-1; Miami was the lone dissenter.

Thought for today: “A sheltered life can be a daring life

as well. For all serious daring starts from within.” — Eudora Welty, Ameri-can author (1909-2001).

Today in history


MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida nightclub that was shut down after a scantily clad woman rode bareback on a white horse through a crowd will be allowed to reopen.

A Miami Beach code official ruled Monday the city should reinstate the Mokai Lounge’s business license after its owners acknowledged five violations and agreed to pay $12,150 in fines.

The club also will make a $10,000 donation to Peaceful Ridge Horse Rescue and promises no more animals will be used in the club.

The city suspended the club’s license earlier this month, a day after video went viral showing the woman riding the horse inside the club. As the animal moved through the crowded space, it appeared to panic, and the woman fell off.

No injuries were reported to humans or the horse.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A rare $1,000 bill from 1863 is expected to sell for about $1 million at an auction in Baltimore.

Stack’s Bowers Galleries says the bill is one of only two of its kind available to collectors. The U.S. Treasury Department says thousand-dollar bills haven’t been printed in the U.S. since 1945.

U.S. founding father Robert Morris of Pennsylvania is pictured on the bill.

Stack’s Bowers Galleries will sell this bill and dozens of others from the same collection on Thursday at the Baltimore Convention Center. It expects to fetch a total of about $6.2 million from those sales.

WILLIAMS, Ariz. (AP) — An Amtrak station used by thousands of people a year to reach the Grand Canyon has closed.

Amtrak’s twice -daily trains between Los Angeles and Chicago had stopped at the bare-bones Wil-liam Junction station since at least 1999.

From there, passengers were shut-tled 3 miles to and from the small city of Williams. Many had tickets for a train to the Grand Canyon.

Service at the Williams Junction station ended Monday. Passengers now are dropped off and picked up 30 miles away in downtown Flagstaff.

Xanterra Parks and Resorts owns the Grand Canyon rail line and oper-ated the shuttles. Spokesman Bruce Brossman says train schedules were inconsistent and a hotel lobby became a waiting room.

Xanterra decided last year to end the shuttle service, effectively closing the Williams Junction train stop.

TV Then and NowBack in the day when TV first came outOne marveled and enjoyed what this was all about.Not one, but two channels were there to be seenin black and white, on a 9-inch screen.There was a button on the TV set you pushedTo change stations as remotes were unheard ofTo help make your selection.

Remote at that time was a verbreferencing distance but now is a nounwith hand-held options. The current remotehas more buttons than a face full of frecklesto help you decide which of the 63 gets your attention.

Changes were required when Febru-ary wound downas old TVs were compatible no more with lotsof more channels — certainly more than just two.

But with all the changes and improve-ments madeone thing is constant and will remainStill one channel only at a time can beviewed to happily entertain you.

The CrossO Lord Jesus, you took it away that day on the cross.All my sin and shame you boreAll for the day when I’d understandWhat, Lord Jesus, you have in store.

You gave up your life to show me the way.You gave it all up for me;O Lord Jesus, it’s hard to compre-hend,Why you would do it, just for me.

Circles were drawn, lots were cast,Jealousy and hatred abound;Around your feet they gathered there,Some just waited without err a sound.

Then came the words you spoke that day,Which proved beyond doubt who you were;The final breath was taken and life left you.The centurion pierced your side to be sure.

How cruel we are with our earthly games,That drive that spear even deeper;O Lord, how precious was the blood you shed,

You truly are our keeper.

Thank you, Lord, that it didn’t end,When in that tomb you were lain;Thank you, Lord, from the bottom of my heart,That thou didst rise again.

The MouseThere is a mouse in the houseHow can that be?In this day and age,I’m sure you’ll agree.

We do see evidence,if you know what I mean.But, wherever that mouse is,he’s not to be seen.

My husband says,“Do not fret.We’ll catch that mouseand make him our pet.”

With a cat in the housethis is not going to be.But, who knows,we’ll just wait and see.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — An endangered fish that makes its home in the Colorado River basin no longer is at the brink of extinction.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said it will consider reclassifying the humpback chub as threatened within the next year.

The fish that can navigate turbulent waters and have a fleshy bump behind their heads first were considered endan-gered in the late 1960s. As dams were built to control water in the river and its tributaries, turning the once warm and muddy waters cold and clear, the fish struggled to survive. Invasive species also preyed on them.

The number of adult humpback chub in the Grand Canyon went from nearly 11,000 in 1989 to less than half that number a decade later before stabilizing around 2008. Now, the Grand Canyon has the largest population of about 12,000 adults.

Four smaller, wild populations are found upstream of Lake Powell in Utah and Colorado canyons.

“It took a long period of time for us to understand how a species like this

behaves in the system,” said Tom Chart, director of the Fish and Wildlife’s Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recov-ery Program.

He said those working on recovery of the species had to learn how the popula-tions fluctuate over time, how to mimic the natural conditions of the river that the fish need to reproduce, and to control non-native fish like rainbow and brown trout, green sunfish and smallmouth bass to give the humpback chub a better at survival.

“It’s kind of putting these puzzle pieces together to understand it,” he said.

Federal officials say the conditions in the upper and lower basins of the Colo-rado River differ because of the tempera-ture of the water and availability of food. Releasing water from dams upstream of Lake Powell is based on snowpack, while releases from Glen Canyon Dam rely on the amount of sediment available to create spawning areas for humpback chub.

Full recovery of the species will take more work.

“There has been diligent work by many state and federal agencies to pro-

tect this species,” said Kevin Dahl of the National Parks Conservation Associa-tion. “It’s not out of the woods yet, and the efforts to monitor and try to create model conditions for this fish continue.”

The last set of recovery goals, devel-oped in 2002, called for two core popu-lations of at least 2,100 adult humpback chub to consider listing it as threatened. The Grand Canyon population is well above that number, but the second popu-lation in canyons near the Colorado-Utah border only recently surpassed it, Chart said.

Completely delisting the humpback chub would mean establishing a third population of about the same number, but Chart said the Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice will re-evaluate the goal as part of the process of reclassifying the species’ status.

The fish once had a broader range, but the construction of the Flaming Gorge Dam in Wyoming and Hoover Dam on the Nevada-Arizona border led to two other populations becoming extinct. An eighth documented popula-tion in Dinosaur National Monument also is considered gone.
