DAMAGE IN FULL VIEW
■ 6 tornadoes confirmed ■ Area damage tops $19 million ■ 77 homes destroyed in Hamilton County
By Kate Harrison
Staff Writer
Local officials are hoping for an infusion of federal disaster aid after initial estimates show that
Friday’s tornadoes inflicted
at least $19 million worth of
damage in the area.
“We won’t know for a
few days whether we get
a federal declaration, but
I’ve looked at every house
myself — and we suffered
some brutal damage,” said
Hamilton County chief of
emergency management
Bill Tittle. “FEMA inspectors will probably be down
here Wednesday, so we’ll be
showing them the area.”

gauge damages to their

National Weather Service officials in Morristown,
Tenn., have confirmed that
at least six tornadoes tore
through the region, including an EF3 with 165 mph
winds that plowed through
Harrison and into Bradley
County.
As all that data is compiled and sent to Gov.
Bill Haslam’s office, then
forwarded to the White
House, homeowners are
wasting no time waiting
for a response.

bustling Monday with
homeowners and volunteers sorting through

Hail stones Friday bombarded vehicles in a barrage
that lashed Chattanooga
with a ferocity not seen in
almost a year.
Concentrated showers
of golfball-sized hail rained
onto anything not under a
roof, damaging thousands of
cars — including one owned
by WRCB Channel 3 chief
meteorologist Paul Barys.
“We had golfball-sized
hail falling at the studio,
and it hit everyone’s car,”
he said.
Businesses with hundreds of vehicles outside,
such as auto dealerships
and vehicle manufacturers,
especially were exposed to
damage, he said, which can
strike without warning and
is hard to track.
Volkswagen officials said
Monday the automaker was
bringing in experts to examine more than 1,000 Passats
that were awaiting shipment in a parking lot at the
Enterprise South plant when
the hail hit. As the storms
approached, VW workers drove some vehicles
under the plant’s hail net,
which is about 30 percent
to 40 percent installed, said
VW spokesman Guenther
Scherelis.
Other workers moved
vehicles onto covered railroad transport cars or back
into the assembly plant to
keep the new cars safe.

NASHVILLE — Top House
and Senate Democrats on Monday called on Republican Gov.
Bill Haslam to block GOP legislative efforts they say would
slash more than 5,000 lotteryfunded college scholarships in
the future.
“This legislation is shortsighted, unnecessary and harmful to our students and our
economy,” Senate Minority
Leader Jim Kyle, D-Memphis,
said. “The governor has stated
that college isn’t for everyone,
but that it needs to be for a lot
more Tennesseans.”

“I grew up on the streets of

Woman sues Paula
Deen restaurant
SAVANNAH, Ga. — The
former general manager of a
Savannah restaurant co-owned
by Paula Deen claimed in a lawsuit filed Monday she was sexually harassed and subjected to
a hostile work environment rife
with sexual innuendo, physical
intimidation and racial slurs.
Lisa Jackson said in the law-
suit, filed in Chatham County
Superior Court, her physician
encouraged her to quit working at Uncle
Bubba’s
Seafood and
Oyster House
because she
suffered from
panic attacks
and other
stress from
working there.
The restaurant Paula Deen
is owned by
Deen and her
brother Bubba Hiers.
Jackson said in the lawsuit
that Hiers routinely made inappropriate sexual and racial
remarks and that she heard
both Hiers and Deen use racial
slurs. She also said in the lawsuit she saw Hiers violently
shake a black employee and
that he fostered an environment of intimidation.
A spokesman for Deen
declined to comment on the
pending litigation, and Hiers
didn’t immediately return calls
seeking comment.

they were leaving Stone Mountain
Park outside Atlanta when they

left on a nightstand in their hotel
room. He said that when they
returned to the hotel to retrieve
the items, they were gone.
Leighanne Littrell says the
$120,000 in jewelry included
her engagement ring valued at

LONDON — Britain’s Tate
gallery has bought a work by
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei made
up of 8 million porcelain sunflower seeds — a portion of the
100 million he brought to London in 2010.
Tate said Monday that it had
purchased “Sunflower Seeds
2010” — 13 cubic yards of
seeds, hand-crafted by Chinese
artisans, which can be displayed either as a conical pile
or as a square or rectangular
bed.
The gallery did not disclose
the price. Last year Sotheby’s
auction house sold a 220 pound
bag of the seeds for $550,000.
In 2010, Ai covered the
floor of a 10,000 sq. foot hall
at London’s Tate Modern with
almost 100 million of the seeds.
Visitors were initially invited to
walk or lie on them, but after a
few days the ceramic dust was
judged a health hazard and the
exhibit was cordoned off.
It still proved a hugely popular show. The gallery said the
seeds, a common Chinese street
snack, represented friendship
and compassion, raised questions of individualism and
evoked the enforced conformity of the Cultural Revolution, when propaganda posters
depicted Chairman Mao as the
sun and Chinese people as sunflowers turning toward him.

U.S., Israel differ
on Iran course
WASHINGTON — Taking sharply different stands,
President Barack Obama on
Monday urged pressure and
diplomacy to prevent Iran
from getting a nuclear bomb
while Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized his nation’s right to a
pre-emptive attack. Even in
proclaiming unity, neither
leader gave ground on how
to resolve the crisis.
Seated together in the
Oval Office, Obama and
Netanyahu at times tried to
speak for each other, and
other times spoke past one
another. The president and
prime minister are linked by
the history and necessity of
their nations’ deep alliance,
if not much personal warmth,
and both sought to steer the
Iran agenda on their terms.
“I know that both the
prime minister and I prefer
to resolve this diplomatically,”
Obama said. “We understand
the costs of any military

action.”
If he agreed, Netanyahu
said nothing about sanctions
or talks with Iran, or Obama’s
position that there still is time
to try to deter Iran peacefully. Instead, Netanyahu drew
attention back to Obama’s
acknowledgement that Israel
is a sovereign land that can
protect itself how it sees fit.
“I believe that’s why you
appreciate, Mr. President, that
Israel must reserve the right
to defend itself,” Netanyahu
said.
Israel must remain “the
master of its fate,” he said.
Israel has not yet decided
whether to launch a unilateral strike on Iran, a point
underscored in the White
House meetings.
Both are adamant Iran
must not develop a nuclear
bomb. Obama’s aim is to
keep Israel from launching
an attack on Iran’s nuclear
facilities, fearing that would Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu listens to

Limbaugh adds to GOP woes
Missing student’s Latest poll shows President Obama ratings gain ground
body found

By Tom Raum
MADISON, Wis. — A
body recovered by emergency personnel searching
a river was identified Monday as a missing Wisconsin
college student who had
been out celebrating his 21st
birthday over the weekend,
authorities said.
Stevens Point Sgt. Dan
Wheeler said officials
removed the body of 21year-old Eric Duffey around
1:10 p.m. from the Wisconsin River, which goes
through the city about 110
miles north of Madison.
The coroner’s office made
a positive identification
after meeting with Duffey’s
family.
Firefighters on boat and
a diving team had been
searching for any sign of
Duffey in the river. The
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point student
disappeared after he left a
downtown bar early Saturday morning.
WASHINGTON — It’s
not a happy time for Republicans seeking the White
House.
On the eve of key Super
Tuesday contests, they find
themselves on the defensive
over birth control, embarrassed by conservative radio
host Rush Limbaugh and
tripped up by subjects bearing little relation to the dayto-day concerns of Americans.
All the while, President Barack
Obama’s ratings are climbing.
There’s still a long way
ahead, for sure, but this isn’t
how GOP leaders had pictured things.
Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment about saying no
evil about a fellow Republican

a scorched-earth primary contest.

nomination are trying to

still fragile — economy.

in implying.
Super Tuesday, when

GOP convention. There also
is growing consensus among
Republican insiders that Romney eventually will prevail and
clinch the nomination.
A new poll released Monday by the Pew Research

FDA won’t OK combo
cholesterol drug now
TRENTON, N.J. — Federal regulators have rejected
Merck & Co.’s new combination cholesterol drug, which
includes a generic version of
the mega-blockbuster Lipitor
— at least for now.
It’s unclear how long the
ruling, announced Monday,
might delay approval of the
drug, as the Food and Drug
Administration is requiring additional study data on
the compound. It combines
generic Lipitor, the top-selling
drug of all time, with Merck’s
cholesterol medicine Zetia.
Approval could boost Merck’s sagging cholesterol franchise by essentially replacing
its existing combo pill, Vytorin, with one likely to be seen
as more powerful. Vytorin
sales have been dwindling for
a few years due to concerns
about how well it works, and
now Merck has to contend
with patients possibly defecting to the generic versions of
Pfizer Inc.’s Lipitor that came
on the market at the end of
November.
Merck said Monday that
company officials will talk
with the FDA to determine
the next steps, adding that
some new data expected
later this year may address
the FDA’s concerns.

contains medicines that fight
high cholesterol in two different ways to reduce risk of
heart attack and stroke.

Michigan woman stalked
by an aggressive turkey
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — An Oakland
County woman says she’s
become a prisoner on her
own property, stalked and
harassed by a 25-pound turkey.
Edna Geisler calls the
foul bird “Godzilla.” The 69year-old told the Detroit Free

near her Commerce Township property each day from
nearby woods. She recently

“I have to go to the post

She has tried changing her

said the turkey went after him,

on his minivan.
“He tried to come right in

online by the Free Press shows

wildlife expert Tim Payne
said adult turkeys are known
to aggressively defend their
territory, although most fear
people.
“This bird has probably attacked, and the person retreats,” said Payne of
the Department of Natural
Resources. “What it tells the
bird is, ‘What I’m doing is
good.’ It reinforces the aggressive behavior.”
Payne suggested Geisler
open a large umbrella to drive
the turkey back to the woods.
“Make some runs at the
bird and become the aggressor,” he said. “The bird needs
to learn who’s the boss.”

KABUL, Afghanistan —
Two Afghan civilians were
killed and four wounded
on Monday when a suicide
bomber detonated his explosives at the entrance to the
U.S.-run Bagram Air Base,
where Qurans were burned
by U.S. soldiers last month,
local officials said.
“Two boys aged 14 and 15
were killed and four laborers
were wounded,” said Ayub
Salangi, the governor of
Parwan province, where the
base is located.
Salangi said he had no
information about casualties among the U.S. and
international forces that
use the base. A spokesman
for the U.S.-led coalition in
Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance
Force, confirmed there was
an explosion outside the base
but said that the cause of the
explosion was unclear and
that there were no reports of
coalition fatalities.
SANAA, Yemen — Sneaking across the desert behind
army lines, al-Qaida militants
launched a surprise attack
against military bases in south
Yemen, killing 107 soldiers and
capturing heavy weapons they
later used to kill more troops,
officials said on Monday.
The military officials said
at least 32 of the militants
were killed in Sunday’s fighting in Abyan province, and
scores were wounded on both
sides. Medical officials in the
area confirmed the death toll
figures. They said the poor
services in local hospitals
accounted for the death of
many soldiers who suffered
serious wounds but could
have survived had they been
given better medical care.
The death toll among the
troops is believed to be the
highest on record in battles
fought by the army against alQaida militants.
The military officials said
the militants’ surprise attack
outside Abyan’s provincial
capital Zinjibar also led to the
capture of 55 soldiers. The
captives were paraded on the
streets of Jaar, a nearby town
that, like Zinjibar, has been
under al-Qaida’s control.

Putin was clearly reassured
by his strong showing Sunday.
There was much discussion
Monday about the tear that
trickled down his cheek when
he took the microphone, which
his spokesman said had been
caused by the wind.
But Konstantin Y. Remchukov, editor of the newspaper
Nezavisimaya Gazeta, said
Putin was clearly emotionally
affected, noting that “it was
obvious that he put himself
fully into this campaign.” He
added that in the flush of this
victory, Putin may underestimate real demands for change
coming from the public.
“If Putin ignores this crowd,
if he thinks he’s got victory, he
will be the loser, because their
ideas will defeat any system,”
Remchukov said. “He doesn’t
have time. He has to adopt
the international standards of

WASHINGTON — Frustrated by a diplomatic logjam
and a bloody Syrian offensive,
Republican Sen. John McCain
on Monday urged the United
States to launch airstrikes
against President Bashar
Assad’s regime to force him
out of power — a call for dramatic military intervention
that wasn’t supported by the
Obama administration or its
European or Arab partners.
McCain’s statement on
the Senate floor came as the
U.S. and European governments pleaded for Russia’s
Vladimir Putin to rethink his
anti-interventionist stance
on Syria, in what appeared to
be an increasingly desperate
effort for consensus among
world powers to stop a crackdown that has killed more
than 7,500 people. Hundreds
fled to neighboring Lebanon
on Monday fearing they’d be
massacred in their homes.
But the trans-Atlantic
calls for Russia to abandon
its opposition to strong U.N.
action were delivered at a
curious time: a day after
Putin showed his strength
by resoundingly winning reelection as president, a position he held from 2000 to
2008. Even the modest aim
of gaining Russian support
for a humanitarian strategy
in Syria faced renewed resistance Monday — showing
just how limited the diplomatic options are despite the
ongoing violence.
McCain’s strategy would
be far more direct, though
it’s unclear how popular it
would be. His statement was

UNITED NATIONS —
The economic cost of disasters in 2011 was the highest in
history — with a pricetag of at
least $380 billion, mainly due
to earthquakes in Japan and
New Zealand, a U.N. envoy
said Monday.
Margareta Wahlstrom, the
secretary-general’s special
representative for disaster
risk reduction, said the figure
was two-thirds higher than the
previous record in 2005 when
Hurricane Katrina struck the
southern United States.
In addition to the earthquakes, Wahlstrom said major
floods in Thailand and other
countries caused extensive
damage.
“The main message is that
this is an increasing — very
rapidly increasing trend with
increasing economic losses,”
Wahlstrom said.
Despite the rising costs,
she said, deaths from disasters
are proportionally declining
because countries are getting
much better at instituting
early warning systems and
preparedness measures.

But not all the cars were
placed under cover, Scherelis said, and those remaining outside were undergoing
scrutiny to assess damage.
VW is spending about $5
million to complete its massive fabric hail net to protect
part of its loading yard from
any falling ice in the future.
Dozens of individual
vehicle owners already had
their insurance claims filed
by Monday morning with
more than 70 auto-body damage calls rolling in to Abra
Auto Body & Glass before
9:30 a.m., said co-owner
Keith Clingon. The rush of
dinged-up vehicles brought
back memories of the April
27 tornadoes that dumped
hundreds of storm-damaged
cars in his lap without warning, he said.
“Last time that hail turned
into hell for us,” Clingon said,
noting that the overload of

A waitress also noticed
McConnell’s actions and told
her manager about the incident, according to the arrest
report.
The child was taken to the
Child Advocacy Center where
a forensic interview was conducted. The girl said she was
embarrassed by McConnell’s
actions and did not want to
talk about it. When police

“I don’t think it’s going to be
as bad this time, but it does
look like the hail’s been much
more concentrated.”
While fewer cars were hit
by hail this year, those that
bore the brunt of nature’s
attack are in worse shape
than usual, which suggests
small pockets of unusually
dense storms, Clingon said.
“One of these cars looks
like someone took a ballpeen hammer and hit it as
fast as they could,” he said.
Tim Kelly saw what an
army of hail hammers could
do when workers discovered
that 75 cars at his Riverfront
Parkway Subaru dealership
had been struck. However,
Kelly is expecting a glut of
business at his nearby body
shop to make up some of the
repair expense.
“Some of it can be repaired
easily, and if people are doing
the work correctly, it’s literally imperceptible,” Kelly said.
“But some of it will have to
be painted, and we’re going
to have a big old sale.
“At this point, we really
don’t know all the extent
because the hail was so
spotty, hitting some neighborhoods and missing others,” Kelly said. “It’ll still be
a tough pill to swallow economically, but we’ll just deal
with it and move on.”
Without factoring insurance coverage and deductibles into the equation, a
hail-damaged car can cost
as low as $300 or as much as
$1,500 to repair if a vehicle
has more than 100 significant
dents, said Donny McAllister, owner of Dent Busters
in Ringgold, Ga. Repairs can
involve removing, repainting
or even replacing body panels if the damage is severe
enough, even though it’s
more often a quick fix, he
said.
But this time, he said, “I’ve
actually looked at some cars
that are damaged, and they’re
fairly severe.”

said he was “unconsciously
touching” the child and “was
not aware what he was fully
doing,” according to the
arrest report.
He also told police, “in no
way does he believe he did
anything wrong.”
McConnell’s case is rare.
It’s seldom that child sex
abuse cases are caught on
video, witnessed in public
or brought to light the same
day, said Chattanooga police
Sgt. Jerome Halbert, who
oversees five detectives who
work family investigations.
“When you get video with
the statement to corroborate,
it’s a lot easier,” he said.
Witnesses may be challenged in court, but video
captures the event.
“You can question all you
want about me, but what can
you say about this video?”
Halbert said.
The challenge detectives face working child
sex cases is that they are
often reported after time
has passed. The department
often sees cases that are 6
months old and occasionally works cases that are 13
to 14 years old.
Interviewing a child about
those details to establish a
timeline can make it difficult
to prosecute, he said.
“A lot of child abuse cases
we do work are old. Since
they are old, that’s when
you run into issues with a
timeline. You don’t know
the time. You don’t know the
date, the address and all that
other stuff,” Halbert said.
In McConnell’s arrest,
he described it as a “solid
case.”
“It’s very rare that we get
footage,” he said. “You had
people who witnessed it first
hand who also recorded it. It
made it sort of cut and dry.”

While graduates of public
institutions such as Brainerd
High School in Chattanooga
or private institutions such as
Notre Dame and Chattanooga Christian School would be
subject to the new requirements, home-schooled students would not.
Instead, home-schooled
students still could qualify
for a full $4,000 scholarship
with only a 21 on the ACT.
The original bill stated they
would have to have a 23
score on the ACT, but it was
reduced by Republicans.
“It’s unfair to treat kids
differently based on where
they go to school. That’s a
simple principle,” said state
Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga. “They [sponsors]
did not explain why they
lowered it, but I think they
heard loudly from the homeschool community who felt
they were being treated
unfairly.”
Berke said that “if I were
a home-schooler and I got a
21 on ACT and 21 on two of
the four subparts — which I
assume you get; it would be
very unusual not to get that if
your composite is a 21 — then
you get a $4,000 award.”
“If you did that as a public or private school graduate
but you had a 2.9 GPA, you
would get a $2,000 scholarship,” Berke said.
Ramsey said he was not
familiar with the homeschool exclusion.
He defended toughening
qualifying for the scholarships generally last week,
noting that if gas hits $5 a gallon, lottery revenues could
be affected.
“The reason that we’re
doing this is to make sure
the lottery is stable five years
from now and 10 years from
now,” he said.
If lottery revenues continue to improve, Ramsey said,
“I got a feeling you’ll see us
change it back. But right now,
we need to continue on the
bill that everyone agreed on
a few months ago” in a lottery task force report.
In a related lottery matter, the House voted 73-18
Monday night to boost the
required amount of money in
the lottery reserve from $50

When the storm died down,
they returned to their beds.
But a half-hour later,
Stevens heard a new storm
approaching and got up to
take care of the children. As
she got up to turn on the
hall light, the house began
to shake and the wind started
to howl.
Then she lost consciousness.
Stevens awoke in the dark
holding the other 3-year-old
twin, Ashley, and shouting
for her children. The roof
was gone. Only then did she
realize that her house had
been struck by a tornado.
She hurried downstairs in
the dark, screaming “Where’s
my babies,” and spotted her
mother who also was frantic.
“I didn’t know where the
children were,” Patricia Stevens said. “The house was
shaking, and then we heard
the noise. And all of the sudden you heard the house go
whap, whap, whap, whap. Just
like that. Then the walls were
gone. Then I said to myself,
‘Is this how you’re supposed
to die? Are we going to die in
here or what?”’
Amber was found in the
family yard under some
debris. Ayanna landed in a
neighbor’s yard. Jamal had
been tossed more than 100
feet.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
When Latonya Stevens heard
thunder and lightning in the
distance, she knew the drill.
Every time a storm drew near,
her children would run to her
room seeking comfort.
So Stevens turned on a
hall light for the young kids
as high winds began buffeting
the house. Then she blacked
out and awoke to find only
one of the four kids in sight.
With the house about
to shake apart, she quickly
assumed the worst: that a
twister had carried off the
other three.
“I was screaming for
them,” Stevens said Monday. “I was panicking. For a
moment, I didn’t know where
they were.”
No one knows precisely
what happened, but this
much is clear. The three
children were in their rooms
when the twister approached.
As the winds rose, most of
the home’s second floor was
swept away. After the tornado passed, the kids were
found outside on the ground,
one of them 100 feet away
along a major highway.
All three emerged with
only cuts and bruises — and
a story to tell for the rest of
their lives.
“It’s a miracle they sur-
Lottery
vived,” said their grandfather,
Clarence Gray Jr. “God was
looking out for them.”
Most of the family’s possessions were lost. But by
Monday, the children were
playing in their grandparents’ house as if nothing had
happened.
They picked up family
photos scattered on a coffee
table. “This was our house,”
Jamal said, pointing to a picture.
The children — 3-year-old
Amber, 4-year-old Ayanna
and 7-year-old Jamal — said
they don’t recall anything.
“They’re like me. They
don’t remember what happened,” Stevens said. “We
don’t know. Maybe it will
come back to us eventually.
I mean, I’ve sat down and
tried to figure out what happened. I don’t know,” she said
softly.
When storms moved into
the Charlotte area late Friday, the four children were
upstairs in their bedrooms.
Their grandmother, Patricia
Stevens, was watching TV
downstairs on a couch. Their
father, Tyrone Stevens, was
out with friends who were in
town for a basketball tournament.
The noise awoke the children, who initially went to
their mother’s room where
they watched a Disney movie.

3 children in North Carolina found outside
on the ground were swept from their bedrooms
suspended as buildings were
checked for damage, he said,
adding he called an emergency meeting to deal with any
contingency.
The Philippines is in the
so-called Pacific “Ring of
Fire,” where earthquakes
and volcanic activity are
common. The damage and
casualties are compounded
by poor construction in violation of building codes in
the impoverished nation.
In 1990, a magnitude-7.7
quake killed nearly 2,000
people in northern Luzon
region.

But the quake caused
cracks and shattered windows in houses and some

to be cleared of people while
safety officials ensured its
stability. Large numbers of
people rushed out of homes,

At least five people were

MANILA, Philippines
— A moderately strong
earthquake cracked buildings
and knocked televisions and
glassware from tables today
in a central Philippine province, injuring at least five
people and sending others
rushing outside in panic, officials said.
Renato Solidum of the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said
the quake with a preliminary
magnitude of 5.2 struck this
morning and was centered
two miles north of Masbate
City on the island province
of Masbate.
The quake, which was
caused by movement in a
local fault, was felt in nearby
provinces.
Masbate City Mayor
Socrates Tuason told The
Associated Press by telephone that there were no
immediate reports of major
damage, and power and communications were unaffected
by the temblor in his hillside
city of 90,000 people.

Voters head to polls today for primaries
By Ansley Haman
Staff Writer
As Hamilton County voters
head to the polls today, at least
two candidates will make their
final rounds in a
local RepubELECTION heated
lican primary for
the County Commission District 3 seat.
Interim County Commissioner Mitch McClure, pastor at Middle Valley Church of God, faces
Republican Marty Haynes, a life-
long Hixson resident who works
in sales for Porter Warner.
The candidates have raised
about $15,000 apiece — enough to
rent billboards and post dueling
signs along one of the district’s
main arteries, Hixson Pike.
While the Republican and
Democratic presidential primaries are on the ballot, “District 3 is really all that matters,”
McClure said.
McClure said he will visit
polling locations all day, with
the exception of an 11 a.m. swearing-in ceremony for new General
Sessions Judge David Norton,
chosen last week by the County
Commission, and a funeral for a
member of his congregation.
Otherwise, “I’ll be rolling from
precinct to precinct,” McClure
said.
Haynes said he plans to spend
much of his day at polling sites in
the Middle Valley area.
“We’ll be moving from place
to place to interact with as many
voters as we can see,” he said.
Three local races — District
3, property assessor and county
mayor — are on today’s ballot.
The only two contested primaries are on the Republican side
in special elections for the commission seat and mayor.
The special elections are
being held because of vacancies created in the positions last
January when former County

Staff Writers
The Hamilton County Commission is
preparing to launch its process for replacing District 3 school board member Everett
Fairchild.
And it appears commissioners will follow a private interview process similar to
the one used during the recent appointment of attorney David Norton as a General Sessions judge.
Fairchild has
announced he will
step down March 15
because of health problems. Commissioners
then have 120 days to
appoint someone to
serve the rest of his
term until 2014.
Commission Chairman Larry Henry said
the panel will lay out

said Monday.
That process, which
— Greg Beck, began in early February,
commissioner included a 10-day application period followed
by two weeks for commissioners to interview applicants individually. Commissioners cast a single vote last Thursday with no
public discussion about the candidates.
That’s what worries Commissioner Greg
Beck. He wants a public interview process
similar to the one commissioners conducted for magistrate applicants last fall.
“Unless they’re public interviews, I’m
not going to take part this time,” he said.
“We can do it all in public.”
Both interim District 3 Commissioner
Mitch McClure and Marty Haynes, the
candidate challenging McClure in today’s
Republican primary, said the process
should involve a public forum held in
District 3.
“I’d like to do some sort of forum,”
McClure said.

Sandy Leavell, director of social services at the Chattanooga Salvation Army, talks about the shortage of food at the
Salvation Army food pantry.
Salvation Army short of food
Collection drives planned this month
By Yolanda Putman
Staff Writer
The Salvation Army pantry normally feeds about 80
families a month, but it’s
running out of food.
“We are totally out of
pasta,” said Sandy Leavell,
the Salvation Army of Chattanooga’s local director of
social services. “We’ve got
no rice, no dry beans and
no crackers.”
The Salvation Army is
launching a monthlong food
drive to restock its shelves.
The food drive is called
Let’s Can Hunger.
“One out of five of our
neighbors are hungry,”
according to the Salvation
Army’s website.
Two area Walmarts
— Fort Oglethorpe and
Chattanooga — will host
food drives in March, with
the first Saturday at 3040
Battlefield Parkway in Fort
Oglethorpe from 10 a.m. to
6 p.m.
Salvation Army officials
are asking residents to leave
food at the stores on the
specified dates. The goal
is to collect 5,000 pounds
of nonperishable food this
month.
“We’ve got pie filling, but
no Bisquick,” said Leavell.
There is spaghetti sauce,
but no spaghetti.

Jackie Robinson movie to be shot in Chattanooga
By Barry Courter
Staff Writer
A major motion picture about
baseball great Jackie Robinson
will be filmed in Chattanooga
this summer, according to the
Chattanooga Southeast Tennessee Film Commission.
Catrett Locke Casting of
Atlanta has put out a casting call
for baseball players and extras
for the film, which will be shot
in Chattanooga in May and June
and perhaps into July, according
to a news release.
Melissa Turner with the film
commission and the Chattanooga Department of Education,
Arts and Culture, said details
still are being worked out, such
as how long filming will take
and where. She could not say,
for example, if filming will take
place in historic Engel Stadi-
um, the former home of the
Lookouts that has sat unused
since last year and where a
large portion of the wall along
Third Street collapsed in recent
weeks.

The family also wishes to
express their loving and humble
gratitude for the many precious
dear ones the Lord used in making our Sweet Mother comfortable in her last days while also
comforting those of us who so
loved her. We want to thank all
the caring staff at Life Care Center
of East Ridge. Thank you to Dr.
McCravey for being our oncologist and to our special friend,
Brenda. We also want to thank Dr.
Ronald Brooksbank and Barbara,
Vicki and Tara for their special
care for her. The Ladies Thursday Bible Class cannot be given
enough praise for their Christ-like
love and compassion they showed
our family throughout our long
good-bye. All the cards, lovely
flowers, phone calls and visits
will never be forgotten. Deranda
McDade , what a special delight
you were to have pleasantly surprised our Dear Mother with your
sunny visits and the flowers you
often brought to brighten her day.
To a special neighbor, Mrs. Mildred Clay, we send out love for
the rare acts of kindness in the
precious gifts and cards and concern you continually showered
Mother with throughout the latter
part of her life. May God richly
bless you for such thoughtfulness. Brother Bennie Mills, you
were our rock! How much Mother
loved and appreciated you. Your
frequent visits and prayer vigils
were a real source of inspiration
not only to her but to our family
as well. Thank you for loving and
being there for us.
Our sweet, sweet Libby! You
were always so eager to help.
How we love you! We thank you
for standing with us through the
many trials we’ve faced through
the years and now for this most
recent one, we thank you again.
And what shall we say of dear
Naomi, Eunice, Margaret, Loraine,
Sonia, Alice, Poddy, Marsha, Mary
Jo and “Shugsie”? None of your
kindness will ever be forgotten,
for you are all unforgettable in
your goodness and love. Patty
Whitaker, please know we could
not have made it without your
help and guidance you gave us
along this long hard way through
which we have passed. Thank
you for your patience. To Ed,
David, Sharon, Etta and the other
friends we made through Affinity
we send our deepest appreciation. And for all those strangers
(perhaps angels unaware) who
went out of their way to extend
us a special kindness, Thank you,
Thank you, Thank you!
Having sincerely expressed
our gratitude to all the above, we
above all want to thank you, God,
for having blessed us with such
a special lady, whom we had the
privilege to call our Mother. May
we too so live before you that we
also might find favor in Your sight
that one day we might be called to
be forever in Your presence even
as she has now been called.
Thank you for the hope that
we have in Christ Jesus and that
electrifying resurrection power
that He provided at the Cross.
If there be those reading this
who follow Him, in lieu of flowers, please give to His cause as His
spirit leads.

Marion cell tower lease extension approved
By Ryan Lewis
Correspondent
KIMBALL, Tenn. — After
months of wrangling over a
proposed cell tower lease
extension with SBA Communications in Boca Raton, Fla.,
city leaders are ready to move
on to other business.
SBA is an independent
wireless communications
infrastructure company that
leases space on its towers
to wireless carriers, officials
said.
The lease extension plan
first came before the Kimball
Board of Mayor and Aldermen in November 2011, and
officials finally had a deal
■ The agreement extends
the contract with SBA
Communications by 25 years.
worked out in February.
However, officials said
SBA had made no contact
with Jasper, Tenn., which
jointly owns the property
with Kimball on which the
cell tower is built.
In February, the board
instructed Kimball Attorney
Billy Gouger to contact Dee
Ware, a representative with
SBA’s real estate acquisitions
department, to inform the
company Kimball was going to
table a vote on the lease extension until contact was made
with Jasper city leaders.
Gouger said Jasper now
has received paperwork on
the proposal “comparable to
what Kimball has” for Jasper
officials to review.
“[Jasper] had not, up
to that point, received any
communications from the
company that Kimball had
received,” he said. “I really
don’t understand why. It
seems to me getting an
extended lease with Kimball
but not one from Jasper really
does them no good since [the
property] is jointly owned.”
After Jasper’s review is
complete, Gouger said, city
administrators will contact
Kimball to “make sure both
towns are on the same page”
before trying to extend the
lease terms.
Kimball’s board recently voted unanimously to
approve the agreement “as
stated” contingent on the
Jasper Board of Mayor and
Aldermen’s approval and
Gouger’s endorsement.
“That would at least get
it off our agenda and put
the ball in their court,” Vice
Mayor Rex Pesnell said.
Under the proposed terms,
another 25 years would be
added onto the existing lease,
which wouldn’t expire until
April 30, 2049. Starting in
2024, Kimball’s rent for the
site would go up by 15 percent
every five years, officials said.
Kimball now receives
more than $3,900 per year
in rent for the site, officials
said, but by the end of the
new proposed agreement the
city would get about $10,500
per year.
“We should probably get a
discount on this since we’ve
been over it 15 times,” Kimball Mayor David Jackson
said, jokingly.

CLEVELAND, Tenn.
— Cleveland High School’s
spring musical will be presented in the dining area
this month because the
theater is an empty shell.
The Betsy Vines Little
Theater, named for a late,
beloved teacher, is getting new seating, sound,
lighting and other items
to bring it up to current
building codes and make
it handicapped accessible.
The Cleveland Board
of Education approved
the plans Monday, with an

Pace and teacher Don

to keep the theater’s 260
seating capacity.
The theater work is
made possible, said board
member Dawn Robinson, because city voters approved a sales tax
increase two years ago.
Board member Steve
Morgan said Monday the
theater work has to be
coordinated with another
project approved by the
board Monday, installing new heating and air
conditioning for the high
school’s east wing, including the theater.
The board approved

which he
seeks a “new

At trial,
Casey was William
represented Casey
by Rick Spivey
and Matthew Spivey. The hearing reportedly was postponed
because Matthew Spivey was
unavailable Monday. As of
midafternoon a new hearing
date had not been set.
Casey was sentenced last
November to 15 to 20 years on
first-degree criminal sexual
conduct charges and two concurrent 20-year terms on two
aggravated rape counts. His
convictions stemmed from
allegations he sexually abused
a young altar boy shortly
after becoming priest of St.
Dominic’s Catholic Church in
Kingsport in the 1970s.
Casey served as an associate pastor at Sts. Peter and
Paul Catholic Church in Chattanooga from 1969 to 1972.
During the trial, the victim, Warren Tucker, now 46,
testified Casey raped him
twice — once when he was
13 and once when he was 14
— and performed oral sex
on him in his mother’s trailer
shortly before his 15th birthday, with Tucker saying he
“felt obligated” to reciprocate
the act. He described feeling
powerless to resist a man he
believed to be “representative of God on earth.”
At the sentencing, Tucker
testified Casey committed
in excess of 50 sexual acts
against him when he was
between 10 and 16, with most
of the alleged offenses occurring in Sullivan County, but
others also allegedly taking
place in Greene County;
McDowell County, N.C.; and

Parents to oppose school zoning plans today
By Kevin Hardy
A group of parents say
they’ll flock to the Hamilton County Department of
Education today in a show of
opposition to a school rezoning proposal for the county’s
east side.
After knocking on an
estimated 100 doors in the
affected areas, parent Ryan

plenty of support from
like-minded families who

want to stop the rezoning
plan, which was proposed
by school administrators
but not yet voted on by the
school board.
“I’m not going to lie down.
Nobody else is either,” he
said. “These people are fired
up.”
The school system is proposing to free up space at
East Hamilton Middle/High
School by moving students
to Hunter Middle, Ooltewah
Middle and Ooltewah High.
East Hamilton currently is
several hundred students
over its capacity.
About 10 elementary
schools would also be
rezoned in an attempt to
manage crowding on the
county’s east side while two
new schools are built in coming years.
During a public meeting
Thursday on the rezoning
proposal, Ledford dramatically walked down the center
aisle and handed Superintendent Rick Smith a request for
documents on the proposal,
including budget estimates
and planning documents. His
written request demanded
that papers be provided to
him by 4 p.m. today, and Led-

go the school system’s central office to pick them up.
Smith said he hasn’t heard
from the parents and doesn’t

hand this afternoon.

About 200 demonstrators protesting Alabama’s voter photo ID and immigration laws finished the first 11-mile leg
of their 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery on Monday. The Rev. Al Sharpton, whose National Action Network helped organize the march, said Monday he felt energized after spending the night camped out on a cot. He

Leaders for the proposed
city of Hamilton will hold a
public meeting next Tuesday
to unveil their plans for public services.
“The meeting will fulfill another one of the state
requirements for incorporation,” said Chris Matthews,
president of Friends of Hamilton, the group trying to create the city. “It will also help
us confirm the level of public
support we have.”
Last October, members
of Friends of Hamilton
announced they would try
to incorporate a new city in
Hamilton County. The group
wants to create a city covering the area from Mahan
Gap Road to the Bradley
County line to the east and
to the Meigs County line to
the north. The western border would be the Tennessee
River.
Friends of Hamilton now
is in the middle of a petition
drive. State requirements
say the group must gather
signatures from one-third
of those in the affected area,
hold a meeting to give potential residents a plan of services and have the Hamilton
■ The group wants a vote
on incorporation to be on
November’s ballot.
County Election Commission approve an incorporation question to appear on
an upcoming ballot.
Matthews has said in
the past that he hopes the
question will appear on the
November general election
ballot.
To incorporate, a majority
of the affected residents who
are voting must approve the
formation of the city.
Brendan Jennings, spokesman for the group, said
Friends of Hamilton will
probably go beyond the
requirements of state law.
“The state law says ‘a
meeting,’” he said. “We will
probably have two.”

always [uses] pleasant tones
with you,” Meck said. “And I
think that means a lot to the
people at the library.”
Meck said the Sequatchie
County Library is different from other small-town
libraries. It has a lot to offer,
ranging from story time with
children, a summer reading
program and computer classes to a genealogy department
and the large selection of
books, she said. She said the
library has kept pace with
the changing times, and she
gives Worley the credit.
“For a small-town library,
it’s really good,” Meck said.
“Some people from other
areas come back here. If you
think back 50 years ago, she
[Worley] has grown with the
system. Some people think
that they can’t do it. But she
has met that challenge, and
she has done it well.”
A luncheon is in the works
to mark Worley’s golden anniversary. But she’s not ready to
walk away from the job.
“I have no plans to retire,”
Worley said. “There is still
a challenge here. ... I hope
when I see that I cannot face
change, then I think it will be
time to go home.”

Sheriff’s deputy suspended
after arrest on DUI charge
By Beth Burger
Staff Writer
A Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office deputy is suspended with pay pending his first
court appearance after he was
arrested on a DUI charge by
the Tennessee Highway Patrol
on Friday, according to booking reports.
Deputy Thomas Fulmer,
47, who has been with the
department nearly 10 years,
was off duty when the incident occurred.
Fulmer was driving a 2006
Ford F-250 east on Walnut Road
when he was unable to stay on
the road while negotiating a
curve, according the report.
He veered off to the right
side of the road way and into a
yard before cutting back across
the road way and striking a
mailbox. Fulmer lost control
of the vehicle and went back
across the road where the truck
entered a ditch, overturned and
struck a street sign. The pickup
stopped on north side of Walnut
Road, according to the report.
Fulmer sustained minor
injuries from the crash and
refused treatment on scene.
If there is enough evidence presented at his first
appearance, he will be placed
on leave without pay pending
the outcome of his trial.
If convicted, it could mean
Fulmer will lose his job.
“Generally that’s not
compatible with his job as a
police officer. ... It’s difficult.
As officers we are held to a
higher standard,” said Sheriff
Jim Hammond.
Fulmer is scheduled to
appear in court March 19
before General Sessions Court
Judge Ronald Durby.

After a day and a half of
trial, Allen Yates has been
reinstated as an equal beneficiary of his father’s estate,
valued at about $15 million.
The estate of Yates’ father,
Pierce Yates, will be shared
evenly among his five children, according to one of
Allen Yates’ attorneys from
the office of Bobby Lee
Cook.
At the time of his death,
Pierce Yates stipulated in
his will that Allen Yates’
share would be paid to his
stepbrother Brewster Yates,
a defendant in the suit that
Allen Yates brought last
week before a Walker County jury.
Allen Yates accused the
will’s executors, his stepbrother and the pair’s stepmother, noted Chattanooga
volunteer and philanthropist
Jo Ann Cline Yates, of tricking or coercing his father
into writing him out of the
estate at a moment when
Pierce Yates was mentally
incompetent.
In a prepared statement,
Brewster Yates said the
sides settled privately and
the brothers shared a tearful
embrace.
“I am truly thankful knowing my brother Allen finally
realizes and accepts the truth
that I was not involved with
conspiring against him,”
Brewster Yates wrote.
He also maintained that
he and his stepmother acted
in accordance with their
father’s wishes.
Describing his father as
occasionally strong-willed
and harsh, Brewster Yates
noted that Pierce Yates wrote
three of his five children out
of his will at one point or
another.
Even after Allen Yates’
portion of the estate was
given to him in the will,
Brewster Yates said, he told
his brother that the money
would be given to him.
“[I] did everything in my
power to restore my brother’s
share. ... Allen was deeply
hurt by our father’s decision
and in his grief needed to
blame someone for his pain,”
Brewster Yates wrote, “Only
the public reprobation of
those he thought responsible
for this slight would satisfy
his remorse.”
Allen Yates has not
responded to his half brother’s statement and his attorney said they did not plan to
issue a response.
As a condition of the
settlement, Brewster and
Jo Ann Cline Yates have
been removed as executors
of Pierce Yates’ trust and
replaced by wealth management group The Bessemer
Trust and Virginia Love,
Pierce Yates’ estate attorney.
Both sides also signed a
nondisparagement clause,
preventing them from speaking ill of one another.
Though Allen Yates’ attorneys said they cannot give
the actual value of his inheritance, they said the entire
estate was valued about $15
million. Jo Ann Yates will
receive about $5 million in
a trust, leaving $10 million
in holdings, investments and
liquid assets.
The settlement also stipulates that the estate will cover
court costs and attorney fees,
according to a plaintiff attorney.
The Yates’ fortune is due
in large part to the family’s
textile factory, the Yates
Bleachery, in Flintstone, Ga.

Ledford and other parents said they’re upset that

NASHVILLE — The sudden
flurry of presidential campaign
activity in Tennessee comes to a
close today when voters cast their
ballots in the Republican primary.
After a fairly sleepy campaign
season — early voting was down
37 percent compared with 2008
— activity suddenly ramped up in
the last week as the front-runners
held rallies around the state with
hopes of landing a key victory in
the South.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney made his
ELECTION first public appearance in the state at a
rally in Knoxville on
Sunday, while former Pennsylvania
Sen. Rick Santorum made his latest campaign stops at Memphisarea churches earlier in the day.
Meanwhile, former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich headed
for Kingsport, Knoxville and Chattanooga on Monday.
Republican operative Josh
Thomas, a Romney supporter, said
Santorum’s focus on religious and
social issues may be an advantage
in Tennessee. Former Arkansas
Gov. Mike Huckabee won the
state’s Republican primary in 2008
on a similar platform while Romney came in third.
“So that bodes well for Rick Santorum’s brand of conservatism and
economic populism,” Thomas said.
But Thomas cited Romney’s
superior organization this year, as

A public process, this time
P
arents’ strong turnout and keen
personal interest in recent school
board meetings over school zoning
changes — at Normal Park, East Hamilton
Middle/High and Ooltewah High School
and their feeder schools — will likely be
demonstrated again at either the March 15
or April 19 school board meetings on the
subject. That’s just one example of how
deep public interest is in school board
affairs. It is also why County Commission members finally should agree at their
meeting Wednesday to hold public interviews of candidates interested in filling
the seat of retiring school board member
Everett Fairchild — and any other appointments of public officials in the future.
What’s at stake is simply the public
interest, and the commission’s commitment — if there is any — to public transparency in how and why county commissioners make their decisions on the
public’s business.
Public transparency for the commission’s business should be elemental.
Yet for years, members of the County
Commission have arrogantly used private interviews to determine whom they
support for the vacancies they fill.
Last week, for example, the commissioners agreed — without any public discussion — to appoint David Norton, a
longtime assistant county attorney, to the
vacancy on Sessions Court. The commissioners had privately and separately interviewed the 10 applicants for the interim
appointment to the judgeship left vacant
by the death of Judge Bob Moon. They
made their appointment of Norton on a
7-1 vote without any public discussion of
the merits of the candidates.
The commissioners may never admit
that they talked to each other privately, in
violation of the Sunshine Law, to come to
their nearly unanimous agreement. But
there is no other plausible explanation
for how they arrived at their near total
consensus. Miracle mind readers they
are not.
Regardless, after picking Norton, County Commission Chairman Larry Henry
immediately asserted that he wants the
commission to again have private interviews with potential candidates for Fairchild’s District 3 seat, just as the commission
did for Norton. That would be wrong.
The fundamental tenet of transparent
and open governance should be the commission’s guiding standard. That standard
also should include public discussion of
their reasoning for the votes they cast on
the public’s business.
There is some kick-back on the commission to the private selection process.
Last fall, District 3 Commissioner Mitch
McClure, chairman of the security and
corrections committee, opened to the
public the committee’s interviews of
magistrate candidates, who handle bail
matters for Sessions Court. There was no
open discussion, however, before commissioners actually appointed the four
new magistrates.
McClure said Monday he would support a public forum — to be organized
by another entity — for candidates for
Fairchild’s seat. District 5 Commissioner
Greg Beck went a step further Monday,
saying that he supports an open public
process for appointing Fairchild’s replacement, and that he would not participate
in a closed interview process.
That’s good, but two commissioners
cannot control the appointment process.
Five are needed to require public hearings by the commission for Fairchild’s
replacement.
At least three people have indicated
interest in the seat, and McClure said he’s
heard from 10-12 potential candidates.
Public interest in the candidates would
be substantial. The commission should
choose to hold public hearings for the
position, or appoint a caretaker who will
not run for the seat in the August elections.
Tornado season comes early
The powerful, tornado-laden storms
that swept through the region late last
week were hardly a surprise. Local and
national forecasters had warned for days
that vicious weather was likely here and
that significant damage was almost a
certainty wherever the twisters touched
down. They were correct on all counts.
Severe storms did ravage a widespread
area, and tornadoes did touch down in
many locations. Resultant damage was
extensive. Fortunately, no lives were lost
here. Some injuries, most relatively minor,
were reported. The toll could have been
worse, but residents, the memory of last
April’s far more deadly string of twisters
still fresh, heeded warnings and sought
shelter as storms approached. That’s a
hard-earned lesson that will bring benefits time and time again in the future.
Private and public property loss here
is extensive, and probably will total millions of dollars when authorities provide a
definitive accounting. That will take time
since cleanup efforts could take months
in places where the tornadoes left few
recognizable landmarks.
In Hamilton County, the Harrison and
Ooltewah areas were hit by what the
National Weather Service has confirmed
was an EF3 tornado with winds up to 165
mph. Emergency management officials
for Hamilton County said Monday that
at least 100 homes were either completely
destroyed or suffered major damage, and
that at least another 200 were harmed in
some way. Damage was reported, as well,
in Bradley, Polk, Monroe and McMinn
counties in Tennessee and in nearby
Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina.
Infrastructure across the area was clobbered, too.
Immediately after the storms, tens of
thousands of customers in a 12-county
area were without power or other utilities,
and the Sequoyah Unit 2 nuclear plant in
Soddy-Daisy was operating at about 70
percent of capacity because of downed
transmission lines. By Monday afternoon,
power and other essential services had
been restored to most homes and businesses, and TVA reported that several
transmission lines had been repaired. Full
restoration of services, though, is still days
away.
The tornadoes here were part of what
the weather service is calling an early and
“enormous outbreak” of twisters that took
39 lives in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys.
It was the second deadly string of twisters
in the same region in less than a week. A
similar system Wednesday spawned more
than 20 tornadoes that killed 20 people in
Tennessee, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri.
No one can predict if last week’s storms
are a meteorological aberration — or a
harbinger of events to come.
Given that, area residents can only pay
attention to weather forecasts, seek safety
when necessary and hope and pray that
loss of life and damage will be limited if
more tornadoes do strike the area.
COMMENTARY
How to frack responsibly
Fracking isn’t going away.
To put it another way, the
technique of hydraulic fracturing, used to
extract natural gas from
once-impossible-to-getat reservoirs,
has more
than proved
its value. At
this point,
Joe
shale gas, as
Nocera
it’s called,
makes up more than 30 percent
of the country’s natural gas supply, up from 2 percent in 2001
— a figure that is sure to keep
rising. Fracking’s enemies can
stamp their feet all they want,
but that gas is too important to
leave it in the ground.
Fred Krupp, president of the
Environmental Defense Fund,
understands this as well as
anyone. Last summer, he was a
member of a small federal advisory panel that was charged by
Steven Chu, the secretary of
energy, with assessing the problems associated with fracking.
The group came up with a long
list of environmental issues.
But it also concluded that “the
U.S. shale gas resource has
enormous potential to provide
economic and environmental
benefits for the country.”
One thing I’ve always liked
about the Environmental
Defense Fund is its hardheaded approach. Founded by scientists, it believes in data, not
hysteria. It promotes market
incentives to change behavior
and isn’t afraid to work with
industry. Utterly nonpartisan,
it is oriented toward practical
policy solutions.
And that has been its
approach to fracking. When I
spoke to him recently, Krupp
didn’t back away from the idea
■ Fracking’s enemies can
stamp their feet all they want,
but that gas is too important
to leave it in the ground.
that domestic natural gas could
be the “bridge fuel” that helps
bring us toward a renewable
energy future. Unlike others
in the environmental movement, he and his colleagues
at the Environmental Defense
Fund don’t want to shut down
fracking; rather, their goal is
to work with the states where
most of the shale gas lies and
help devise smart regulations
that would make fracking environmentally safer.
Let’s take one example: the
problem of methane leaks.
Every natural gas well leaks
methane, and while the natural
gas that winds up being burned
as fuel is, indeed, relatively
clean, methane that escapes
into the air is potent. Though
it eventually disintegrates, for
several decades methane can
add significantly to greenhouse
gas emissions.
Question No. 1: How much
methane leaks into the air as a
result of fracking? Incredibly,
nobody knows. The Environmental Protection Agency has
estimated the leak rate at a little more than 2 percent, but a
recent study suggested it might
be twice that. And a controversial study last year said it was
closer to 6 percent. Clearly, it is
critical to know the answer.
Question No. 2: How big a
difference will it make to the
environment if industry can
minimize methane leaks? A
lot. Suppose, for instance, the
current leak rate turns out to
be 4 percent. Suppose we then
reduce it in half. That would
mean an immediate reduction
in overall U.S. greenhouse gases
by — are you sitting down for
this? — 9 percent. If the leaks
are reduced to 1 percent, the
decrease in greenhouse gases
jumps to 14 percent. Meanwhile, failing to reduce methane leaks largely eliminates
the environmental advantage
of natural gas over coal. You
can plug in different estimates
and get different results, but the
point is this: There is no denying the huge difference it can
make to the environment to
reduce methane gas leaks.
Nor is this some kind of
impossible dream. “There are
cost-effective ways to reduce
methane leaks,” says Michael
Levi, an energy expert at the
Council on Foreign Relations.
In fact, a number of the better producers, like Shell, are
employing technology to minimize leaks and taking other
steps to drill for natural gas in
a responsible fashion. Nor is
there much doubt that the outcry by environmentalists over
fracking helped awaken the
industry to the problems.
But, of course, not all drillers can be counted on to drill
responsibly, which is why regulation is so critical. “Wouldn’t it
be better,” I asked Krupp, “for
fracking to be regulated by
the federal government rather
than by the states? Wouldn’t
that mean better, more uniform regulation and tougher
enforcement?”
Krupp frowned. “Given the
dysfunction in D.C., a state-bystate approach will be more
effective,” he said. “We need to
focus on getting the rules right,
and complied with, in the 14
states which have 85 percent of
the onshore gas reserves.”
Here’s hoping that the antifrackers someday join him.

An example of bipartisanship
WASHINGTON — The
House intelligence committee
used to be one of the meanest
snake pits in
Congress, a
place where
members
were so
busy sniping at each
other they

provide

oversight of
the intelligence community.
It was a model of what was
wrong with Washington.
Amazingly enough, the
committee has found its way
out of the wilderness under
a new chairman and ranking
member, Reps. Mike Rogers
and C.A. “Dutch” Ruppersberger. With their leadership,
the House has approved intelligence authorization bills by
lopsided bipartisan margins
the past two fiscal years, after
many years when the committee was too divided to pass
such legislation.
“Rogers and Ruppersberger have made bipartisanship
work,” says Gen. Mike Hayden,
a former CIA director who
struggled with the old, dysfunctional system. Back then,
he recalls, “the committee was
just wild — incredibly contentious and highly politicized.
They have worked hard to get
it back to business.”
So what produced this little miracle of bipartisanship?
That’s the interesting part of
the story, because maybe the
same process could work elsewhere in gridlock city.
Rogers’ first move was to go
to Ruppersberger, his Democratic counterpart, and propose
a truce. “We can continue this
bickering and be dysfunctional
— and do a huge disservice
to the American people — or
we can work it out together,”
Rogers remembers telling his

lopsided bipartisan margins
the past two fiscal years,
after many years when the
committee was too divided
to pass such legislation.
colleague.
Ruppersberger was an ideal
partner for Rogers. “We made
a commitment to each other
that we would work together
and wouldn’t sandbag each
other,” says the Democrat.
The two leaders also made
changes in the committee personnel and instructed them to
brief members jointly. Explains
Ruppersberger: “Before, the
other side of the aisle was the
enemy.”
The pair had to get buy-in
from their members. Rogers
held seminars for new members, where Hayden and other
intelligence professionals gave
briefings. And in bargaining
over contentious issues such
as cyberspace and detention
policy, the leaders found a way
to balance the desires of liberal
Democrats and conservative
Republicans.
Rogers and Ruppersberger
wanted less partisan sniping —
and more aggressive oversight.
In this monitoring role, the
House committee pushed the
CIA to be more aggressive in
hunting down shoulder-fired
anti-aircraft missiles in Libya.
One example of improved
oversight is that a House committee staff member works full
time to review covert action
plans, and the whole committee meets quarterly for a
closed hearing on this most
sensitive topic. An example of
pushback on covert action is
that the committee successfully warned the CIA against
arming the Libyan rebels.
The House committee has
also worked hard to review
the complex systems for surveillance from space. After 12
closed sessions to explore this
arcane subject, the committee
sided with the administration
(and against Senate intelligence) in rejecting a plan for
an array of small satellites that
would be more expensive and
less effective than promised.
Savings will total more than
$10 billion.
When the committee was
so deadlocked that it couldn’t
pass an authorization bill, it left
the field to the Appropriations
Committee, which lacked sufficient staff and expertise. Rogers got the authorization process working again, passing the
2011 legislation by a 392-15 vote
and the 2012 version, 384-14.
Rogers also invited three key
members of Appropriations
to sit as non-voting members
— a clever move that helped
achieve the consolidated control over intelligence spending
that had been recommended
by the 9/11 Commission but
remained stillborn until last
year.
The two House intelligence
leaders also worked with the
Senate intelligence committee,
which had never been quite as
polarized as its House counterpart. The Senate side seems
to have been galvanized, as a
result.
Bipartisan cooperation is
needed throughout Congress,
but it’s especially important in
the oversight of intelligence.
These secret bureaucracies
badly need a bracing review.
What they got in the past was
mostly second-guessing and
backbiting. What they have
now is real oversight. It’s a
welcome change: Let’s hope
it spreads.

Dr. Carolyn Thompson
T
he University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga and our entire
community have lost a valued
and popular citizen in the death of Dr.
Carolyn Thompson, the wife of UTC
Chancellor Roger Brown.
Thompson had fought an extended
illness before her death, but was constantly and constructively engaged
with the university community in good
humor as she braved months of aggressive treatment at Vanderbilt University.
She had been actively involved in a
variety of student groups, and was a
vivacious part of student and faculty
life.
A native of Worcester, Mass., Thompson earned degrees at Emmanuel College in Boston, at St. Louis University
and at Johns Hopkins University.
She had a career in social work, in
addition to her extensive service in the
Chattanooga community.
Her wide-ranging activities included
involvement with the Women’s Leadership Institute, the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera, Friends of the Festival, the Hunter Museum of American
Art, United Way, Allied Arts, Friends
of Moccasin Bend, and the National
Park Service, as well as with many other
organizations.
Partnering closely with Brown,
Thompson was a tremendous asset
both for our community and for the
local university, its faculty and its student body.
And so it is certainly appropriate that
she will be warmly remembered, with
honor, respect and broad appreciation.
Funeral services will be at Patten
Chapel on the UTC campus today at
10 a.m.
Obama unreliable on Iran
It is appropriate that President
Barack Obama has now suggested that
the United States would use military
force, if necessary, to prevent Iran from
building a nuclear weapon with which
to carry out its threats against Israel.
But the president’s unsteady approach
on the Iranian nuclear issue makes
it impossible for Israel to be certain
that he means what he says. And so
his words of reassurance are unlikely
to deter Israel from taking action on
its own — possibly this spring — to
halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions if Israel
believes its survival is at stake.
Obama has shown poor judgment
previously by offering to negotiate with
Iran directly and without any conditions. And the administration has said
that it would provide massive economic
and other assistance if Iran will suspend
its nuclear activities.
If that sounds at all familiar, it should:
It is the same approach that previous
administrations took toward Communist North Korea — and it didn’t work.
North Korea gladly took the aid but
then continued its nuclear program and
today is believed to have nuclear weapons. Why we would follow that failure
with similar gestures toward Iran’s even
more irrational leaders is a mystery.
Even while saying in a recent speech
that the United States could act against
Iran militarily, Obama scolded Israel for
its supposedly “loose talk of war” and
its “bluster” against Iran. But Israel must
deal with Iran’s threats more directly
than any other country, and it does not
have the luxury of being able to hope
Iran will cease and desist willingly.
It would be wonderful if no military
force against Iran were necessary. But
hoping can’t make it so.
Battle of the owls
If it weren’t for the economic harm
that environmental extremism has done
in the Northwestern United States, the
long-running debate over spotted owls
versus logging might be laughable. But
destroying jobs needlessly is no laughing matter.
As you may recall, harsh, federally
imposed logging restrictions in the
1990s killed thousands of jobs in the
timber industry across large areas of the
Northwest. The goal of the restrictions
was to rescue the threatened population
of Northern spotted owls by protecting
their habitat.
But no one seemed to have considered carefully the full range of causes
for the spotted owls’ dwindling numbers. And despite massive reductions
in logging, the owls’ decline continues
rapidly even today. In fact, the head
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s
effort to help the owls recover has said
there is scant evidence that the logging
ban did any good.
As it turns out, nature itself is playing
a huge role in the spotted owls’ falling numbers. The bird is a victim of
the much more aggressive barred owl,
which competes with spotted owls for
food and at times even kills spotted
owls.
So oppressive federal logging bans
haven’t saved the spotted owl, yet they
have destroyed economic growth.
What does the Obama administration
plan to do about that?
Well, it has devised a plan to shoot
barred owls in some areas of the Northwest, to protect spotted owls from their
aggressive cousins.
The administration has also said it
will allow some very limited logging to
reduce the risk of wildfires and create
jobs — though there are serious doubts
that such a narrow allowance for logging will do much to restore lost timber
industry jobs.
In late 2008, then-President-elect
Obama said on “60 Minutes,” “What
you see in FDR, that I hope my team can
emulate, is not always getting it right but
projecting a sense of confidence and a
willingness to try things and experiment in order to get people working
again.”
We’d rather the president “get it
right” more often and “experiment” less.
And in this case, we don’t even need
to experiment. We already know what
would create jobs in the timber industry: ending misguided logging restrictions that have demonstrably failed to
achieve their environmental goals.
Unfortunately, that does not appear
to be in prospect.
A good problem to have
The fact that the Volkswagen manufacturing plant at Chattanooga’s Enterprise South industrial park is struggling
to keep up with demand for the diesel
version of VW’s popular Passat is a
good problem to have.
Of course, a potential four-month
wait from the time an order is placed
for one of the diesel sedans until it
arrives at the dealership may not be
a fun prospect for someone who is
eager to get the car. But that’s better
than making a vehicle that few people
want to buy — such as the Chevrolet
Volt, a plug-in electric hybrid whose
sales have lagged despite costly federal
subsidies.
You may not get a $7,500 subsidy
from Washington for the diesel Passat,
but that hasn’t dimmed its popularity.
And in a time of gas prices approaching $4 per gallon, we can see why: It
gets roughly 43 miles per gallon on the
highway, and a tank of gas is good for
about 800 miles.
But the benefit to the Chattanooga
area of the popularity of the various
versions of the Passat is mainly what
it signifies for the local economy. The
VW plant is already employing hundreds more workers than it originally
estimated it would need. And there is
talk of producing an additional VW of
some type in this area — possibly the
luxury brand Audi.
The success of the Passat — Motor
Trend magazine’s Car of the Year — can
only make it clearer to VW officials
that their selection of Chattanooga was
a wise choice, and that our workforce
is capable of great things. Will one of
those things be production of another
type of VW?
We may know soon.

Reasons not
to back Obama
March’s reasons not to
vote for Obama:
For those who are not
aware of it, Jeff Jones is the
co-founder of the Weather
Underground, a terrorist
organization. Remember the
Stimulus Bill. Obama asked
Jeff Jones to help write it.
Glen Beck broke this story,
and there was no challenge
from the Obama administration. Why?
Obama said he did not
know Acorn was getting
federal funding, but video
shows him giving a speech
to Acorn telling them he has
always been a supporter of
their organization.
Obama said he would
close Gitmo. It never happened.
Obama was pushing
for his health care bill to
pass and said a man died
because the insurance company denied him coverage. It
never happened.

Use a car fee
to aid health care
Erlanger Health System is
having financial problems.
Erlanger is the trauma center
for several counties in this
area, not just for gunshots
and stabbings. So we as former and future patients need
to make sure it stays in the
black!
There should be no layoffs of medical personnel, for
there are so few now. Maybe
an extra $5 added to car tags
in the Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee areas served by
Erlanger would help.
I don’t complain about $5,
for the same car tag I pay
$24 in Tennessee, I paid $160
in Mississippi, my home for
1
54 ⁄2 years.
To ease the shortage of
medical personnel in the
U.S., the sciences need to be
stressed more in school. So
many people who worked
in factories lost their health
insurance when their jobs
left the U.S. That hurt health
care facilities.
If you junkies need pain
pills, check out your friendly
neighborhood dealer. And if
you owe for past medical
care, pay a small amount each
month. It took me almost six
years to pay mine off.

Look to history
for religion turn-off
Why is YouTube sensation Jeff Bethke so appealing to young people? He
wants to make Jesus famous
with his spoken-word poem
“Why I Hate Religion, but
Love Jesus,” whose opening line assertion is that
“Jesus came to abolish religion,” whether theologically
airtight or not. The fact is
simple: Bethke has bonded
with young people who call
themselves “spiritual but not
religious.”
I saw a Beliefnet.com
poll (Newsweek) in May
2006, where only 15 percent
said Jesus would be happy
with modern Christianity;
about 25 percent believe
Jesus didn’t intend to start a
new religion. This occurred
about two months after
Harry Wills’ book, “What
Jesus Meant,” made a case
for Jesus as the enemy of
religion. “Jesus opposed just

Why are young voters turned off by religion?
When they hear “religion,”
they consider it a synonym
for voting Republican, hating gays and being bigoted

in our founders and framers

Conservatives
oppose progress
I’m appalled at the continuing onslaught against
anything liberal or progressive in this country. If we
look at legislation over the
past 75 years, we will gain a
new perspective.
Consider Social Security
— conservatives fought it.
They opposed civil rights
legislation. They opposed
the Equal Rights Amendment. Alas, Medicare legislation was opposed by the
GOP. Now that a health
insurance program has been
passed, the GOP attempts to
oust our president because
of it.
It seems the only thing
positive coming out of these
good old boys of the GOP is
their overwhelming support
of millionaires and billionaires.
Since our economy has
begun to turn the corner
toward recovery, GOP candidates have picked up on
the family values issue once
again. What a joke. Take a
look at those yahoos and
check their values and tell
me if this is what this country is all about.
I was born in the South
and have lived in the South
for all of my 74 years. I
recall when the South was
a solid force of strength for
the Democratic Party. What
happened? Civil rights legislation passed and we could
never adjust to the idea of
equality for African-Americans and, guess what, we still
haven’t, and that’s the crux
of the problem today.

Send a message
about job removal
A very large charge to my
credit card for cable service
was made by an unnamed
local cable supplier. I called
to find the reason for the
high amount.
Since it was a billing
question, I was connected
to someone with broken
English, who for 10 minutes
attempted to find the root of
my problem.
In frustration, I asked that
a supervisor call me back.
One hour passed; I again
called the billing department. Again, broken English,
10 minutes wasted; this time
I was told a supervisor would
soon come on the line.
Another 10 minutes listening to music; I gave up.
As a final courtesy after
eight years of using the same
company, I gave them one
more chance.
A miracle happened, I
reached a young man in
Knoxville. In a five-minute
conversation, my problem
was solved. Why would a
company export our jobs
overseas to save a few pennies and deliver more ill will
than they can overcome with
all the advertising in the
world? This is especially
true in a sensitive area such
as billing.
Personally I intend to
boycott any company that
sends our jobs overseas and
subjects its loyal customers to needless frustration. I
hope those reading this will
send the same message.

Fine adultery
to help deficits
In studying modern religions, I learned that some
Islamic nations criminalize adultery. “Wonderful!” I
thought, “with our current
concern with raising moral
standards, strengthening
family values, and protecting
sanctity of marriage, here’s
an idea all can endorse.”
America should criminalize
adultery, with prison time
for those guilty.
We’d employ the standard
definition, naturally, but as a
Christian nation, would add
Jesus’ teaching that a man
who divorces his wife and
marries another commits
adultery, plus a man who
marries a divorced woman
commits adultery, as does
she. How this would improve
our morals!
However, rethinking, I
saw problems. This would
shut down the entertainment,
sports and music industries.
The ranks of national, state
and local politicians would
be decimated. Certain talk
radio hosts and presidential candidates would be
imprisoned. Police would
drag church members from
pews and preachers from
pulpits. Hardly a TV evangelist would escape. Students
would be sitting in teacherless classrooms, etc.
“No,” I thought, “rather
than jail time, perhaps heavy
fines would be better.” This
would solve the long-standing problems of deficits, the
national debt, and entitlement funding plus yield
hefty yearly budget surpluses. I urge all right-thinking,
moral citizens to get behind
this!

OVERHEAD BINS GET BIGGER: Carry-on bags grow in bulk, C3
Staff Writer
Today Tennesseans will
help select which Republican
candidate’s face will grace
their TV screens over the
next eight months.
Whether it’s Mitt Romney,
Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich or Ron Paul approving
the message, Chattanoogans
have already seen plenty
of campaign ads. On NBC
affiliate WRCB-TV Channel
3, Super Tuesday advertising more than doubled the
network’s expectation.
■ Most of the outlays are
by political super PACs
that spent $2.3 million in
Tennessee.
“We’re over our budget,
which is a good thing,” said
Ralph Flynn, the station’s
sales manager.
Networks look at past
years with similar political
circumstances to try to figure
out what amount of political
advertising to expect. Flynn
said the biggest difference
between this year and past
elections is the amount of
super PAC advertising. So
far, WRCB has seen only one
order from a candidate. The
rest have come from outside
organizations such as super
PACs.
In 2010, the Supreme Court
ruled against restrictions on
corporate campaign spending, allowing super PACs to
increase the dollars spent on
uncoordinated campaign ads
and other materials.
Outside groups such as
super PACs spent nearly $11.5
million in the 10 states holding primaries today. About
$2.3 million of that was spent
in Tennessee and $2.2 million
in Georgia on ads, automated calls and other campaign
activity, USA Today reported
Monday.

and Georgia may not see
the same levels of spending.

New Whirlpool site as big as 28 football fields
By Mike Pare
Staff Writer
LEVELAND, Tenn. — Whirlpool Corp.’s chief said Monday
he was surprised when officials
approached him in early 2009
amid the worst recession in decades about
investing in a new plant here.
“I won’t tell you what my first reaction
was,” said company CEO and Chairman
Jeff Fettig.
But they talked the idea through and
the result is a mammoth 1 million-squarefoot, $200 million factory that’s the company’s biggest-ever plant project.
“We concluded this was the best deci-
C
sion for our people, our customers and
shareholders,” Fettig told several hundred workers and Bradley County officials
inside the building that’s the size of 28
football fields.
The Benton Pike plant will replace
Whirlpool’s existing Cleveland cooking appliance manufacturing facilities, a
hodgepodge of buildings which the company plans to exit within a year as operations shift to the new facility.
Larry Venturelli, chief financial officer
of Benton Harbor, Mich.-based Whirlpool,
said the company’s Cleveland-made preSee WHIRLPOOL, Page C3

Tornadic storms that
thrashed Hamilton County
on Friday tore three chains
on a river restaurant barge
and sent a dock flailing into
the Tennessee River across
from Ross’s Landing, officials say.
High winds and waves
tore the walkway from the
barge in three places, leaving one end attached while
two sections floated 40 feet
into the busy waterway,
according to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
By Monday afternoon,
workers were getting ready
to reattach the dock to the
restaurant barge.
B. Allen Casey, the
founder of the Chattanooga
Choo Choo hotel, owns the
empty barge and plans to
transform it into a $3 million restaurant, though it
is currently resting on the

Monday.
The Corps of Engineers
has ruled that the barge is
“noncompliant” in its current state, and is now pressing Casey for a plan to fix
the structure on a deadline,
said public affairs specialist
Lee Roberts.
It appears decrepit from
the outside, but the barge
remains a valuable structure because of the unique
steel I-beams that hold it
together, Casey said.
“Some people think it’s a
piece of junk but they don’t
know the plans,” he said.

mium brands are some of its
fastest growing.
While part of its business
is tied to the housing industry, the economy is slowly
coming back, he said.
“This was a very longterm decision to invest,”
Venturelli said.
One assembly line already
is up and running inside
the plant. Four more will
be moved over in coming
months, officials said.
Also on the property, work
has started on a 400,000square-foot distribution
center with an exterior overhead conveyor to the plant.
That facility is to be ready
late this year, according to
Whirlpool.
In addition, the company
plans to begin work in the
next year on a 41,000-squarefoot facility for research and

development and for engineering.
The company employs
1,500 people in Bradley and
plans to bring on about 130
more due to the new plant.
Whirlpool workers said
they’re impressed by the factory, which was built to garner Leadership in Energy and
Environment Design Gold
status from the U.S. Green
Building Council.
“It’s mind-blowing,” said
Lacy Bain, a three-year
employee from Cleveland.
Fellow employee Jill Culpepper of Cleveland said the
plant is a win for the work
force and the city.
“It’s a great economic
opportunity,” she said.
Freddie Wilke, a 12-year
employee, told other workers that the company’s investment wasn’t charity or a gift.
“You guys 100 percent
earned this,” he said.
Pam Klyn, Whirlpool’s
general manager for its North
American cooking business,
termed the plant “the largest and most efficient premium cooking factory in the
world.”
Whirlpool traces it roots
back 101 years, and Klyn said
Cleveland’s cooking appliance history stretches back
even further to 1879 when
Hardwick Stoves started
manufacturing.
Jeff Fewell, a team leader
at the plant, said the back of
the building can be extended
outward to enlarge the facility if needed in the future.
He said the first products
made at the plant are expected to be shipped in about a
week.

News Corp. probe
reaches to Russia
NEW YORK — The FBI
is investigating whether a
Russian billboard company
once owned by media giant
News Corp. bribed local
officials to get sign placements approved, part of a
growing probe of Rupert
Murdoch’s company that
stems from a U.K. scandal.
The expanding investigation of News Corp. properties — besides the British
tabloids accused of phone
hacking and bribery of public officials — is typical of
a U.S. probe of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act.
Two people familiar with
the investigation said the
FBI will examine operations
at former News Corp. subsidiary News Outdoor Russia. The two people spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were not
authorized to discuss the
investigation.
20 billionaires’
fortunes tracked
WASHINGTON
— Mexican tycoon Carlos
Slim lost nearly $500 million over the weekend but
remains the world’s richest
person. Microsoft Corp.
co-founder Bill Gates, who
ranks second, closed the
gap a bit because he only
lost about $100 million.
The daily financial gyrations in the net worth of the
world’s richest people now
can be followed like stock
prices or baseball standings
through the new Bloomberg
Billionaires Index.
“The index is a dynamic
measure of the world’s
wealthy based on changes
in markets, the economy
and Bloomberg reporting,”

said.

fraud trial after they indicated they’re deadlocked
on at least some of the 14
charges against him.
Stanford is accused of
bilking investors out of $7
billion in a massive Ponzi
scheme.
Facebook foe
beefs up law team
BUFFALO, N.Y. — An
upstate New York man who
says he’s entitled to half
ownership of Facebook has
added five attorneys to his
legal team.
Paul Ceglia’s lead attorney, Dean Boland, said
Monday that the addition
of the lawyers should be
seen as an indication of the
case’s strength.
Ceglia is suing Facebook
and founder Mark Zuckerberg in federal court in Buffalo. Ceglia says a contract
he signed with the thenHarvard University freshman in 2003 entitles him to
half of the multibillion-dollar social networking site.
Mercedes, Audi
sales up in China
FRANKFURT, Germany — German luxury carmakers Mercedes-Benz and
Audi on Monday reported
booming sales in China during February.
Volkswagen’s Audi
boosted unit sales by 66
percent to a record 31,352 in
China, while Daimler AG’s
Mercedes-Benz showed an
increase of 57 percent to
19,205 vehicles, the companies said Monday.
China lowers
growth target
BEIJING — In a sweeping symbolic gesture, China
lowered its growth target
for this year, sending its

bankruptcy wins OK
Economy survey
optimism rises
By Jay Reeves
By Christopher Rugaber
WASHINGTON — The
U.S. economy is improving
faster than economists had
expected.
They now foresee slightly
stronger growth and hiring
than they did two months
earlier — trends that would
help P resident Barack
Obama’s re-election hopes.
That’s among the findings
of an Associated Press survey
in late February of leading
economists. The economists
said the unemployment rate
will fall from 8.3 percent to
8 percent by Election Day.
That’s better than their 8.4
percent estimate when surveyed in late December.
By the end of 2013, they
predict unemployment will
drop to 7.4 percent, down
from their earlier estimate
of 7.8 percent, according to
the AP Economy Survey.
The brighter outlook for
jobs follows five straight
months of declining unemployment. One reason the
rate has fallen so fast is that
■ The economists say
unemployment will fall to
8 percent by Election Day.
fewer out-of-work Americans have started looking
for jobs. People out of work
aren’t counted by the Labor
Department as unemployed
unless they’re actively seeking jobs.
Many economists have
been surprised that the
stronger economy hasn’t led
more people without jobs
to start looking for work. If
many more were looking, the
unemployment rate would
likely be higher.
On Friday, the government
will issue the jobs report for
February. Economists expect
it to show that employers
added a net 210,000 jobs and
that the unemployment rate
remained 8.3 percent.
The survey collected the
views of two dozen private,
corporate and academic
economists on a range of
indicators. Among their forecasts:
Lauren Johnson, an employee at George’s restaurant
prepares to deliver an order, in Waco, Texas. U.S. service companies expanded in February at the fastest
pace in a year, helped by a rise in new orders and job
growth.
■ Americans will save
gradually less and borrow
more, reversing a shift toward
frugality that followed the
financial crisis and the start
of the Great Recession.
■ Obama deserves little
or no credit for declining
unemployment. Only one
of the 19 economists who
answered the question said
Obama should get “a lot” of
credit. They give most of
the credit to U.S. consumers, who account for about 70
percent of economic growth,
and businesses.

prime minister to discuss
new spending cuts needed to

Netherlands itself demanded
in exchange for participating
in a new bailout package for
Greece.
Wilders heads the Freedom Party, the country’s
third-largest, and is an indispensable partner for Prime
Minister Mark Rutte’s minority Cabinet. Rutte relies on
outside help from Freedom
to achieve a majority in parliament.
Wilders is mostly known
for his anti-immigrant stances, but he also is a longtime
skeptic of European projects.
He has opposed any aid for
struggling countries during
the sovereign debt crisis,
saying the Greeks should
return to the drachma. He
also was a prominent figure
in the Netherlands’ rejection
of the European constitution
in 2005.

which job growth is fueling
more consumer spending,
which should lead to further
hiring.
■ European leaders will
manage to defuse their continent’s debt crisis and prevent
a global recession. But the
economists think Europe’s
economy will shrink for all
of 2012.
■ The economy will grow
2.5 percent this year, up from
the economists’ earlier forecast of 2.4 percent. In 2011,
the economy grew 1.7 percent.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.
— A judge has cleared the
way for an Alabama county
to move forward with the
largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, overruling
Wall Street claims that state
law didn’t allow the county
to file the case.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Thomas Bennett issued his
order late Sunday, allowing
Jefferson County, the state’s
largest county, to remain in
bankruptcy as it attempts to
sort out a $4.15 billion debt
linked to borrowing for the
county’s sewer system.
Bennett’s decision could
be reviewed by the 11th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals,
which already has been asked
to consider another question
in the case.
Home to the state’s largest city of Birmingham and
more than 650,000 people,
Jefferson County filed the
largest municipal bankruptcy
ever in November after three
years of negotiations failed to
result in a settlement to pay
off the debt. Lenders asked
Creditors have
tried to block the
bankruptcy to extend
repayment talks.
Bennett to throw out the case
during a hearing December,
arguing that Alabama’s 1901
Constitution doesn’t allow
Jefferson County to file a
municipal bankruptcy.
Trying to stop the bankruptcy in a move that could
have resulted in more negotiations, a dozen lenders
led by trustee The Bank of
New York Mellon claimed
Alabama law permits bankruptcy only for bond debt.
Jefferson County has a different type of debt called warrants, they argued.
The county argued that
bankers were misapplying
state law in hopes of getting
the case dismissed,
Bennett ruled Jefferson County is an insolvent
municipality under state
law and negotiated in good
faith to resolve its debts, so
the bankruptcy can move
ahead.

AMSTERDAM — Dutch
populist politician Geert
Wilders on Monday called
for a national referendum
on abandoning the euro and
reintroducing the guilder.
The idea is not likely to
succeed in the short term,
but it marks a significant
change in the discussion
over the euro in one of the
“core” euro-zone countries
— one of the few, along with
Germany, that retains a topnotch credit rating.
“With the guilder, the
Netherlands would be master of its own money again,”
Wilders said at a news conference in the Hague, Netherlands.
His call came hours after
he met with the country’s

Stokes factor
huge for Vols
By Patrick Brown
Staff Writer
KNOXVILLE — Jarnell
Stokes is the asterisk, the
wild card on Tennessee’s
NCAA tournament resume.
The freshman forward’s
performance in the Volunteers’ two wins last week
made him the Southeastern
Conference player of the
week. The Vols are 10-5 since
Stokes enrolled and made
his debut against Kentucky
in January, a stretch
that includes eight
wins in the last nine
games. For a UT
team that may can
play its way to an
NCAA at-large bid at
the SEC tournament
in New Orleans later
this week, the addition of Stokes is a Jarnell
key factor.
“I thought we were playing pretty good ball because
he didn’t play in the Florida
game, but it’s just another
piece,” UT coach Cuonzo
Martin said Monday. “Kentucky’s good because they
have multiple pieces that can
play. When you’re trying to
be one of the best teams in
America — like North Carolina has multiple guys that
can make plays — he’s really
helped from that standpoint
because you have to identify
him on the floor.

options.”
The 6-foot8 Stokes scored
a career-high 18
points with seven
rebounds in UT’s
Stokes comeback last week
at LSU. He followed it up with 11 points, 14
rebounds and five blocked
shots against Vanderbilt
on Saturday. The Memphis
native is third on the team in
scoring (9.1 ppg) and second
in rebounds per game (7.8).
As he said a few weeks
ago, Martin said Monday
that Stokes is far from his
full potential. As a midseason addition, he didn’t go
through the same grind of

In the four years that he
has coached the Marquette
Golden Eagles, Buzz Williams has never previously
addressed the home crowd
inside Milwaukee’s Bradley
Center following a Senior
Night game.
Then again, Williams
never previously had two
players as tough and talented and successful as outgoing seniors Jae Crowder
and Darius Johnson-Odom,
who were each named firstteam All-Big East Conference on Sunday.
So following Saturday’s
83-69 win over Georgetown, a win to secure second place in the league,
Williams could hold back
his enthusiasm and appreciation no longer.
“It’s the first time I’ve
taken the microphone after
we won,” he said. “That’s
not to be critical of the
previous seniors, but none
of those previous seniors
had ever been involved in
a game that added to their
legacy relative to what was
at stake.

Crowder (17.6 ppg, 7.9

Marlon Anthony is growing.
Perhaps just in time.
“Marlon’s really made some
unbelievable strides,” University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
football coach Russ Huesman
said.
The Mocs’ 6-foot-5 wide
receiver is growing physically
as he packs muscle onto his
lean frame. He’s also evolving
and maturing off the field, as
indicated by his appearance on
the dean’s list following the fall
semester.
“He’s done a total 180, in
everything,” offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield said.
“Academics, he’s a stud. Socially,
he’s a stud. In the weight room,

he’s a stud. Now it’s time to take
that on the field and become a
stud.”
Wide receiver is the Mocs’
youngest position — Anthony
has 44 career catches; nobody
else has more than five — and
UTC needs the rising junior to
become the team’s lead wideout, both in using his size to
dominate in games and being a
standard-setter in meetings and
practice.
“It’s something I’m not really used to, but I like having the
role,” Anthony said. “I like being
someone to look up to, so I’m
OK with it.”
Anthony’s turnaround happened last summer, he said.

Trojans’ Harris
in ICU after wreck
Soddy-Daisy High School baseball slugger
Talon Harris is in the trauma intensive care unit
at Erlanger hospital after an automobile accident
on the way to practice Saturday morning. His car
ran off the road into a tree and he wasn’t wearing a seat belt, according to Trojans coach Jared
Hensley. An off-duty Sale Creek fire fighter was
quick on the scene and an ambulance was nearby,
so the response time was less than 60 seconds,
Hensley reported. Harris has a head injury and
broke every bone in his face and pelvis as well as
his ankle and a rib, and his larynx was crushed,
the coach said. A Cleveland State signee, Harris
was a Best of Preps all-city player as a junior last
spring, when he tied for the area lead in home
runs.
■ Sinkerballing left-hander Tyler McClure
threw a five-hitter as Chattanooga State completed a TCCAA series sweep of the Cleveland
State baseball team with a seven-inning 10-0
home victory Monday, lifting the Tigers to 17-4
overall. As in their two wins Sunday, they made
good use of two-out hits. After Taylor Patterson
doubled and ultimately scored on a wild pitch in
the fourth inning for a 1-0 lead, Chatt State scored
four runs with two outs in the fifth. Zach Zarzour led off with a single up the middle, Tyler
Roach blooped a one-out single to center field,
Patterson walked and, one out later, Zach Lance
singled in two runs, Daniel Tucker doubled in
one and Preston Yancey had an RBI infield hit.
The Tigers added two runs in the sixth, again
beginning with a Zarzour single, and ended the
game early in the seventh when Isaac Davenport and Zarzour singled in runs and Roach
made it 10-0 with a long single to the fence in
left center.
■ ATHENS, Tenn. — Tennessee Wesleyan
beat visiting Virginia Intermont 13-3 on Monday
to finish a sweep of their three-game AAC baseball series. Travis Burnside was 4-for-4 with
three runs and two RBIs, Anthony Biox was
3-for-4 with three RBIs, Taylor Oldham had
two RBIs, Miles Allen scored three times and
Jordan Guida had two hits and two runs for the
Bulldogs (15-5). Josh McDaniel pitched all seven
innings. Jake Stone was 2-for-3 with a homer and
four RBIs and Guida was 2-for-3 with two RBIs in
Saturday’s 10-4 win, and Drew Levi was 3-for-3
with two homers, a double and five RBIs in the
11-0 game-two victory when Jeremy Fitzerald
pitched a five-hitter.
■ DAYTON, Tenn. — Tyler Latham homered and singled and batted in three runs, Doug
Stroup drove in two and Justin Mock was 2for-3 and scored twice, but their Bryan College
baseball team fell to 15-6 with a 12-7 AAC loss to
Milligan on Monday. Four Buffaloes homered.

Southern League
president dies
Don Mincher, the Southern League president for the
past 12 seasons, died Sunday
night at 73 following a long
illness.
Mincher stepped down
as president in October
for health reasons. He first
joined the league as general
manager of the Huntsville
Stars in 1984, and he assembled a group that purchased
the Stars in 1994.
“He was good at building consensus, and he was
a baseball guy,” Chattanooga Lookouts owner Frank
Burke said Monday. “He
was a kind, thoughtful man
who knew a lot about baseball, so overseeing umpires
and doing business with the
league came very natural for
him. He understood what it
was like to be on all sides
of it.”
Mincher played 13 seasons
in the major leagues, getting named to the American
League All-Star Game twice
and culminating his playing
career in 1972 as a member
of the World Series champion Oakland A’s. In 2010, he
was named “King of Baseball” at the winter meetings,
becoming just the 15th major
leaguer to receive the honor
since the award’s inception
in 1951.
Burke said one of his
favorite moments with
Mincher occurred when a
game at AT&T Field was
rained out after the national
anthem and before the first
pitch.
“It’s the umpires’ call at
that point,” Burke said. “We
obviously couldn’t play, and
nobody knew whether we
should play a nine-inning
game and then a seven-inning
game or two seven-inning
games the next night. The
game hadn’t really started,
but the lineup cards had been
exchanged.
“I called Don and told
him what happened, and he
was like, ‘OK. Start again.
Go through that one more
time.’”

EASTERN
CONFERENCE
WESTERN
CONFERENCE
By David Paschall
Staff Writer
Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith (89) leaves the field on a cart after being injured in 2010 against the New
Orleans Saints. Now that the NFL has uncovered a big-money bounty program for players in New Orleans, it
likely will zero in on other teams Gregg Williams worked for. That means the Titans, Redskins, Jaguars and Bills
probably should all expect to hear from the league soon.
Saints owner backs GM, coach NBA
By Brett Martel
Dan Reeves, the man who holds the record for appearing in the most
Super Bowls in NFL history, said there is no room in the game for
bounties to be placed on opposing players. Reeves was in town Monday
to speak to the annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes dinner and said
he has been appalled at hearing details that former Saints defensive
coordinator Gregg Williams encouraged players to injure opponents by
offering cash rewards.
“It’s terrible, absolutely terrible,” said Reeves, a Rome, Ga., native who
played or coached or 9 Super Bowls. “First of all, it’s against the rules
and every coach and player in the league knows that. It’s not the first
time any of these guys have heard that they can’t do this, so the penalty
should be severe for everybody involved.
“We had an reward system when I was a coach, but it was for things like
causing or recovering fumbles or getting interceptions. It was a way to
reward a guy in front of the whole team for doing something positive. I
have way too much respect for the game than to do something like that,
and they should stop and think how they’re jeopardizing another man’s
career.
“The game is violent enough on its own without this.”
— Stephen Hargis
in his support of Mickey and Sean,
and his focus is on the upcoming free
agency, making the team better and
hosting the Super Bowl. ... We have a
lot of positive things on our plate that
we have to get working on.”
The NFL’s report said the Saints maintained a bounty pool of up to $50,000 the
last three seasons. Payoffs were made for
inflicting game-ending injuries on targeted players, including quarterbacks Brett
Favre and Kurt Warner. “Knockouts,” in
which a player was knocked out of the
game, were worth $1,500 and “cart-offs,”
in which players had to be helped off
the field, were worth $1,000. Payments
doubled or tripled for the playoffs.
Williams, who was summoned to
New York on Monday to meet with
NFL officials, called his role in the pool
a “terrible mistake” when he issued a
public apology late last week.
No punishments have been handed
out, but they could include suspension,
fines and loss of draft picks.
Next season’s Super Bowl is scheduled for New Orleans, and the Saints
hope to be a contender coming off a
13-win 2011 season that ended with a
dramatic loss in the final seconds of a
divisional-round playoff game at San
Francisco. Yet the Saints could potentially find themselves playing some
games without several key returning
defensive players such as linebacker
Jonathan Vilma and strong safety
Roman Harper — if they are found to
have participated in the pool.
Welker, Bowe given franchise tags
By Barry Wilner
NEW YORK — It pays
to play a skill position in
the NFL, like New Orleans
quarterback Drew Brees, or
receivers Wes Welker and
Dwayne Bowe.
It also pays to be a kicker,
as five place-kickers and one
punter were given franchise
tags, protecting their current teams from losing them
without compensation.
The NFL’s deadline for
applying the tags was Monday
afternoon, and a late flurry saw
10 players added to the list. In
all, 21 players were tagged.
Only Brees, the 2011 AP
Offensive Player of the Year,
was made an exclusive fran-
chise player, meaning he is
not free to sign with another
team. The Saints will continue negotiations on a longterm contract for the recordsetting quarterback.
But Brees is in line to earn
well over the $14.4 million
base salary for a non-exclusive tag because his 2012
salary will be based on the
average of the five highestpaid players at the position
as of April 20. For players
given the non-exclusive tag,
the new salary is based on
the five highest-paid players
at their position in 2011.
Naturally, the average salary for quarterbacks increases every year.
The other 20 players could
move to new teams, but compensation would be two firstround draft choices.
All-Pro receiver Welker
was tagged by New England
and Bowe by Kansas City.
Welker, who led the league
with 122 receptions, and
Bowe will earn about $9.5
million in 2012 if they don’t
reach new, longer deals with
their teams.
“Wes Welker is a remarkable football player for our
team and has been a vital
component to our offense
and special teams since we
traded for him in 2007,” the
Patriots said in a statement.
“Utilizing the franchise designation allows both sides
more time to try to reach an
agreement, which is the goal.
Wes remains a contractual
priority and we are hopeful
that he will remain a Patriot
for years to come.”
Also tagged Monday
were Titans safety Michael
Griffin, Cowboys linebacker Anthony Spencer, Lions
defensive end Cliff Avril,
Colts defensive end Robert
Mathis, and several kickers:
Giants punter Steve Weatherford, Denver placekicker
Matt Prater, Tampa Bay
placekicker Connor Barth,
and Jacksonville place-kicker Josh Scobee.
The other place-kickers
tagged were Cleveland’s Phil
Dawson and Cincinnati’s
Mike Nugent last week.

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans
Saints owner Tom Benson isn’t backing
off his support of his general manager
and coach, even as his team is accused
by the NFL of maintaining a bounty
program to injure opponents.
While Benson cooperates with NFL
officials in their investigation of the bounty program that spanned the last three
seasons, he is standing behind general
manager Mickey Loomis and head coach
Sean Payton — even though the league
says they knew about the bounties.
“The bond between Sean and Mickey and Mr. Benson could not be stronger,” a team the official told The Associated Press on Monday on condition
of anonymity because the investigation
was still ongoing. “[Benson] is 110 percent behind his guys.”
The NFL investigation found that 22
to 27 defensive players on the Saints,
as well as former assistant coach Gregg
Williams, maintained a bounty system
for inflicting injuries on targeted players.
Former defensive coordinator Williams has admitted to running the pool,
and the NFL’s investigation concluded
that Loomis and Payton did nothing
to prevent it, even after Benson was
alerted of the pool by the NFL last year
and asked Loomis to put a stop to it.
“The team completely understands
the ramifications, is taking the matter
very seriously and has cooperated fully
with the league,” said the Saints official. “Mr. Benson is in constant contact
with [Commissioner] Roger Goodell
and his office, yet he remains steadfast

■ The Golden Eagles answer
Clarkrange’s rally with a late
9-0 surge and a 61-54 win.
LIVINGSTON, Tenn. — When
Brighton Bridgeman scored with
27 seconds left to go in the game,
it seemed almost certain that Monday’s Class AA sectional between
his Tyner Rams and Livingston
Academy was going to overtime.
Mason Ramsey didn’t let it.
The Livingston junior got the ball
with just over a second remaining,
then lofted the ball up. It danced
around the rim and dropped in as
the buzzer blared, leaving Tyner
with a season-ending 68-66 loss.
The Rams (23-9) hit six 3s in the
first half and 10 overall, including
four for Jamichael Bowman, who
matched Sadik Spence for team
scoring honors with 16 points.
Livingston (28-7) had a 10-0 run
in the third quarter to make it a
41-39 game in favor of Tyner, and
Ramsey tied it at 46 on a 3.
Tyner reclaimed the lead and
extended it to seven points (62-55)
with 6:30 remaining but was held
scoreless for the next 5:10, till Travis
Murphy tied the score at 64.

The lesson learned less than
a week ago remained firmly in
the minds of the Grace Academy
basketball team. After trailing for
much of their region title game, the
Golden Eagles rallied late for a win
that earned them the right to host
Monday’s Class A state sectional.
Knowing how to remain poised
and play from behind late helped
Grace rally again, this time from a
four-point deficit in the final three
minutes for a 61-54 victory over
Clarkrange to earn a berth in next
week’s state tournament at Middle
Tennessee State University.
“Even when we were down
four, I never saw any panic in our
guys’ eyes,” Golden Eagles coach
Jon Mattheiss said. “They never
quit and kept fighting back. I think
that experience last week helped
us, because we knew weren’t done
yet.”
Grace (19-10) is in the state tournament for the fifth time in the last
eight seasons. Its first-round opponent will be revealed in a TSSAA
blind draw Sunday afternoon.
The Golden Eagles, who have
won 11 consecutive games, led for
all but two minutes of the first half
and built a 10-point lead twice in
the third quarter. But Clarkrange
changed its approach in the second half, driving to the basket on
every possession rather than relying on outside shots as it had in the
first half. The Buffaloes scored all
but seven of their 33 second-half
points in the paint, the rest on free
throws.
“We decided to just attack the
basket because we weren’t getting it
done from the outside,” Clarkrange
coach Rodney Pile said. “That got
us back in it but it took a lot out of
us, and it was tough to have to keep
coming back several times. We just
couldn’t put them away, and they’re
a great team.”
A 6-0 run late in the third quarter got Clarkrange within four, and
the Buffaloes opened the fourth
with another 6-0 spurt to take the
lead. Their biggest advantage (5046) came on Chad Henry’s short
jump shot in the lane with 3:54
remaining, but Grace answered
with a 3-pointer from senior Stephen Record, which started a 9-0
run that included six straight free
throws. Record also grabbed two
steals in the closing seconds and
turned each into a layup.
“We hit some big free throws
and got a few timely steals and
shots and really got a lot from several kids tonight,” Mattheiss said.

three possessions at least until
Wayne Caudle’s jump shot from
the left elbow with 50 seconds
to go in the third quarter made
it 55-45.
Indians coach Jason Smith
said his team’s game plan
coming in was to pack a zone

was when they started using the

on us. Then we had to extend
things out a little bit.”
Caudle is a 6-5 freshman who

Ooltewah’s Antonio Jackson heads for the goal with LaVergne’s Chucky Sutton in pursuit Monday
at Ooltewah High School. Jackson scored 12 points in the Owls’ 69-55 Class AAA sectional win.
Owls move on
Johnson has 31 points, nine rebounds
By Gene Henley
Staff Writer
Jervon Johnson not scoring well
recently may have led to some of
the open looks he received Monday in Ooltewah’s Class AAA
sectional boys’ basketball game
against LaVergne.
When he got those chances, he
made the most of them, and the
Owls won 69-55.
Johnson had 31 points and nine
rebounds, and an 11-0 third-quarter Ooltewah run blew the game
wide open. Next week’s statetournament appearance will be
the program’s first since a Class
AA berth in 1980.
Point guard Antonio Jackson
added 12 points, six rebounds and
five assists for Ooltewah (27-4).
Johnson had 15 points in the
pivotal third quarter.
“I really didn’t expect them to
leave me open so much,” he said.
“I thought they might box me, but
we never saw it.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to go to state. It was our
goal. If we had lost we were gone,

attempted to run with the Owls,
and the tide changed as the hosts
got some stops and converted
them into scoring opportunities.
The Ooltewah lead grew from two
at the end of the first quarter to
32-19 at halftime. It swelled to 26
in the third quarter and peaked at
27 in the fourth.
“We just didn’t play our style
of ball,” LaVergne coach Chris
Carpenter said. “We’re a much
better team than we were tonight.
Ooltewah is the type of team that
likes to get out and go. We can do
that, but not for four quarters.
“They were too fast for us.
We’re thankful for the opportunity to get here, but we could
have played better than we did
tonight.”
Ooltewah’s Mikhail Creech
blocked four shots, while Andre
Moton had nine points, five
rebounds, six assists and two
steals. Ben Snider also scored
nine points.
“We came into the year hoping
it would come to this,” Ooltewah
coach Jesse Nayadley said. “It’s
been a tough, grinding season, and
we hit a lull, but we were hungry
tonight. We wanted to push the
tempo and stay in the full-court
pressure, but once we got the lead
we dropped back into our zone.
“They thought they could run
with us, and we were able to run
away with the game.”
A.J. Mason hit four 3s and finished with 14 points for the Wolverines, while Caymen Dial added
13.

technically
eliminated
By Tom Kreager
Daily News Journal
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. —
Blackman junior Darius Thompson
hit two free throws with 1.5 second
remaining after a technical foul was
called on Bradley Central’s Miles
Morgan to give the Blaze a 38-36
Class AAA sectional win Monday.
Bradley (28-7) had the ball with
20.9 seconds left and ran a play for
point guard Bryce Copeland with
under 10 to go. But Copeland slipped
as he went around the left side of the
paint and Blackman (26-3) swarmed
on the loose ball with 1.5 showing.
As the teams headed to their
benches for a Blackman timeout,
Morgan was called for a technical.
“I don’t know how anybody can
feel good about winning a game
on a technical foul in the last 1.5
seconds,” Bears coach Kent Smith
said. “You either go into overtime
or make a play in the last 1.5 seconds to decide who is going to the
state tournament.
“[The ref ] said my guy said
something to him. I don’t know if
he did or not. The thing about it
is the official that he said it was

LEBANON, Tenn. — Friendship Christian’s depth and experience proved to be too much for
Arts & Science in Monday’s 66-29
TSSAA Class A sectional loss Monday.
The Commanders went on an
18-1 run midway through the second
quarter and never let off the gas
— leading 30-13 at intermission and
41-24 after three periods.
“We were overmatched,” Patriots coach Mark Dragoo said after
his team wound up 11-17.
“This was the youngest, most
inexperienced team we’ve had. To
end up in the sub-state is a testament to their hard work. We had
three eighth-graders, three ninthgraders and a couple of sophomores
to go with our two seniors.”
Friendship Christian (25-3) is a
big, physical team with 10 seniors.
Patrick Taylor led the Patriots
with nine points and Jonathan
Kurtz added eight.
The Commanders got 18 points
each from Allen Heaston and Dalton Patterson.

Davidson wins
SoCon crown
Virginia Commonwealth guard Rob Brandenberg (11) and Briante Weber (2) celebrate after winning the Colonial
Athletic Association title game Monday at the Coliseum in Richmond, Va. VCU beat Drexel 59-56 to win the championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament.
VCU tops Drexel in CAA final
RICHMOND, Va. — Troy Daniels
is such a good shooter, Virginia Commonwealth coach Shaka Smart has said
he thinks every shot the junior takes is
going in. Lucky for the Rams, they did
when it counted Monday night.
Daniels made four free throws in the
final 19 seconds Monday night, allowing
the Rams to hold on after blowing a big
lead and beat top-seeded Drexel 59-56
for the championship of the Colonial
Athletic Association tournament.
A year after making a stunning run
to the Final Four as an at-large selection — one of the last teams chosen
for the field of 68 — VCU is heading
back to the NCAA tournament with an
automatic bid.
As his teammates struggled down
the stretch, Daniels managed to step
up and knocked down the pivotal free
throws.
“It’s something that a shooter has in
his mind,” Daniels said. “You learn to
block stuff out when you miss shots and
when other people miss shots. It’s not
contagious to any shooter I know.”
For much of the night, the Rams
looked like they wouldn’t need any
heroics. They led by 16 at halftime
thanks to their smothering, ball-hawking defense, but the Dragons slowly
climbed back.
Daniels bailed them out, making a
pair from the line with 18.9 seconds
SEC
guard Marquis Teague and
forwards Davis and Michael
Kidd-Gilchrist. Kentucky
had five first-round NBA
draft selections in 2010,
which followed Calipari’s
first season, and could have
six this summer.
“I don’t think John gets
enough credit for how
hard those guys play and
how he manages those
egos,” LSU coach Trent
Johnson said. “Nobody
wants to talk about that.
It’s like it’s the elephant
in the room.”
Vanderbilt’s Kevin Stallings voted for Calipari and
believes he is deserving of
national honors as well.
He credited Martin and
his staff for the job they
did in conference play but
said the preseason projection of the Volunteers was
misleading.
“If they had Jarnell
Stokes on their team [before
the start of the season], they
wouldn’t have been picked
to finish 11th,” Stallings
said. “I think that was a factor that was unforeseen by
all that they were able to
add.”
Martin has referred
to Calipari’s Wildcats in
recent days as the “best
team in America,” while

left.
When Frantz Massenat’s 3-point try
was off the mark at the either end, the
Rams were one their way back to the
NCAA tournament.
“It’s great,” Bradford Burgess, the
Rams’ lone senior, said of the school’s
first automatic berth since 2009. “Last
year those six days after the championship were pretty rough for us not
knowing what we were going to do.
Now we can sit back and chill and relax
and watch some basketball.”
Darius Theus had a career-high 16
points, five rebounds and five steals,
and said he was most grateful to Daniels. Theus’ turnover with 22 seconds
left allowed the Dragons to get within
55-53.
“I just want to say thank you to Troy,”
Theus said. “I threw that bad pass [that

Calipari is labeling the Vols
as a team nobody wants to
face in the NCAA tournament. Tennessee has been
streaking since getting blistered 69-44 at Kentucky on
Jan. 31, a loss that left the
Vols 10-12 overall and 2-5
in league play.
“Cuonzo is doing an
unbelievable job of setting the tone and setting the stage of what he
wants that program to be
about,” Calipari said. “It’s
just happening quicker
than he probably even
thought.”
Davis, a 6-foot-10, 220pounder from Chicago, is
averaging 14.4 points and
9.8 rebounds a game, and
he is shooting 66.3 percent from the floor. His
146 blocked shots already
rank sixth in SEC singleseason history, and he is
25 away from eclipsing the
record 170 blocks Mississippi State’s Jarvis Varnado
amassed in 2008-09 and
2009-10.
“I don’t think there is a
player in the country where
a team changes more when
he’s off the floor,” Donovan
said. “He is terrific. I would
be hard-pressed to find any
player who’s been more
impactful to a team than
Davis has been for Kentucky.”

guy, even on a bad night. But
right now, I don’t think he’s
the player he’s going to be.
“That’s just really him getting the feel for the system.
Everything is still fast-paced
and moving. Once it really
kind of slows down and he
gets a gauge of everything,
he’ll be a special player.”
Stokes struggled some
this season, as expected. He
had just 13 total points and 17
total rebounds in a four-game
stretch that included a game
he missed with a wrist injury.
In his last six games, though,
Stokes averaged 10.3 points
and eight rebounds and had a
be sitting here.”
VCU (28-6) led by 16 at halftime, just
as it had against George Mason in the
semifinals, but just as it did against the
Patriots, allowed the Dragons to close
to within six. This time, though, the
Dragons kept coming in search of their
school-record 20th consecutive victory
and first NCAA bid since 1996.
■ Saint Mary’s 78, Gonzaga 74 OT
At Las Vegas, Matthew Dellavedova
scored 22 points to lead Saint Mary’s
over No. 24 Gonzaga to claim its second
West Coast Conference tournament
title and automatic NCAA bid in three
years.
It was the first time the Gaels (27-5)
have won the regular-season title outright and claimed the tourney championship the same year.
Elias Harris led Gonzaga (25-6) with
22 points, including a 3-pointer with
two seconds left in regulation to force
the extra period.
Dellavedova had a chance to win it at
the buzzer in regulation but his runner
bounced off the rim. He made sure to
seal it at the free throw line in OT.
Gonzaga’s Kevin Pangos had a miserable night, finishing with seven points
on 3-of-18 shooting. He was just 1-of-10
from 3-point range, two days after a 30point night against Brigham Young.
Rob Jones added 18 points and nine
rebounds for the Gaels.

MARQUETTE
■ Record: 25-6 (14-4 Big East Conference)
■ Associated Press ranking: No. 9
■ Best win: 83-69 over Georgetown
■ Worst loss: 67-59 at LSU
■ Best stat: The Golden Eagles have hit almost as
many free throws (543) as opponents have attempted
(559). Marquette is shooting 72.4 percent at the foul
line.
■ Reason to believe: It would be tough to find a
better pair of seniors than Golden Eagles forward
Jae Crowder (17.6 ppg, 7.9 rebs.) and guard Darius
Johnson-Odom (18.3 ppg, 3.4 rebs., 2.7 assists).
Both can score, defend and lead with exceptional skill.
Having won 13 of its last 15 games heading into this
week’s Big East tourney, Marquette is clearly on a roll
at the right time.
■ Reason to doubt: The Golden Eagles have
been outrebounded for the season, and for all their
good work they do have suspect losses at LSU and
Cincinnati. Should either Crowder or Johnson-Odum
get in foul trouble, Marquette could struggle.
■ Ballin’ on Bourbon Street at Final Four if: The
regional draw opens up and they can avoid the big
three of Syracuse, Kentucky and North Carolina in a
regional.
■ Prediction: Elite Eight if they’re a No. 2 seed.
Otherwise, Sweet 16.
■ Coachspeak: “They are so quick. Darius JohnsonOdom makes all the right plays. They are just better at
small ball than we are.”

At Springfield, Mass.,

with a win over Fairfield in
the MAAC championship
game.

Greyhounds (24-8) trailed
by four at halftime but
opened the second half on
an 11-1 run.
Loyola held Fairfield
without a point for almost
eight minutes and then held
on for its fifth win in six
games.
That’s the hope for Marquette going forward as the
program the late Al McGuire
coached to the 1977 national
championship attempts to
return to the Final Four for
the first time since NBA star
Dwyane Wade led Marquette
there is 2003.
Just like then, this year’s
Final Four is in New Orleans.
Just like then, Marquette figures to be a No. 2 or No. 3
seed (it was third in the
Midwest that season), with
Kentucky and Kansas early
favorites.
But Marquette and Wade
dispatched UK in a regional
final before falling to Kansas
in the Final Four.
But that team pretty much
had Wade and only Wade.
This team has Crowder and

world where we try to count
everything, not everything
counts. You can’t quantify
the heart and the brains that
those two seniors are playing with.”
But you just might surmise that their heart, brains
and talent just might be
enough to return Marquette
to another Final Four in New
Orleans, hopeful that two
weapons will be better than
Wade’s one.

Square Garden.
“They are both tremendous players,” Syracuse
coach Jim Boeheim said of
Crowder and Johnson-Odom
after the Orange struggled to
ground the visiting Eagles
73-66.
“For their size, they are
as good as anybody in the
league. They play big. They
play tough. They are tough
guys. They rebound. They
defend. They are both just
tremendous players.”
The 6-foot-6 Crowder
grew up in Villa Rica, Ga.,
went to two junior colleges
in two years — eventually
leading Howard College in
Texas to its first national title
— and then became something of a cult hero at Marquette for his flowing locks
and versatile game.
The 6-2 Johnson-Odom
is a similarly undersized yet
physical guard who spearheads one of the most dangerous offenses in the country.
“Not too many people
have had success guarding
them,” said Georgetown
coach John Thompson III.
“They can really get to the
basket off the dribble, and if
you foul they can hit their
free throws.”
Indeed, the Golden Eagles
have made almost as many
free throws (543) as their
opponents have taken (559).
Smaller and quicker, they’ve
managed to hit 72.4 percent
of their foul shots.
After a particularly frus-
trating game failing to stop
Marquette, interim Connecticut coach George Blaney said
after his defending national
champs lost by 15 at home:
“We’re one of the top two or
three teams in the country in
fewest fouls committed, and
they shot 26 foul shots. Their
speed and strength almost
blew our doors off.”

Martin said he didn’t
think Stokes hit the proverbial freshman wall, but
rather the attention paid to
him by opponents and all
the new responsibilities that
he dubbed “mentally taxing”
were impeding his development.
“One of the things that’s
always difficult is when you
inject a player of that talent level into a team and he
hasn’t been there from the
beginning, there is always a
feeling-out process, a chemistry process,” said Florida
coach Billy Donovan. “One
is probably him getting in
shape and getting him comfortable in learning the system and doing those kinds
of things.
“Each week that goes by,
he’s probably in the position
where he’s more and more
comfortable in his role, and
I think probably the guys on
the team are more comfortable in terms of what he’s
bringing to the table.”

Samford Lady Mocs must ‘analyze’ shortcomings
captures
SoCon
By John Frierson
Staff Writer
ASHEVILLE, N.C.
— Jazmine Powers had 14
points and seven rebounds
Monday as Samford defeated
Appalachian State 54-43 in
the Southern Conference
women’s basketball championship game, earning a
second straight trip to the
NCAA tournament.
Samford (20-12) got 11
points from Jazmine Martin;
Hannah Dawson added seven
points and 11 rebounds. Shelby
Campbell, selected as the tournament’s outstanding player,
chipped in with six points.
The Bulldogs, who came
in as the tournament’s fourth
seed, had to defeat top-seeded
Davidson on Sunday and the
No. 2 seed Mountaineers to
defend their championship.
Samford beat Appalachian
State 57-54 in last year’s final.
Courtney Freeman and Anna
Freeman each had 10 points to
lead the Mountaineers.
Samford is hoping for a better showing in the NCAA tournament this time around after
losing to Florida State 76-46 in
the first round a year ago.
Cram quits GSU
At Statesboro, Ga., Georgia Southern athletic director Sam Baker said he has
accepted the resignation of
women’s basketball coach
Rusty Cram.
Georgia Southern was
8-22 overall and 4-16 in the
SoCon this season. It was
Cram’s 21st season with the
program, including 16 as the
coach. He joined the staff in
1990 as an assistant coach.
Cram was 239-230 at
Georgia Southern and led the
Eagles to conference championships in 1998 and 2001. He
was a two-time Southern Conference coach of the year and
the first coach to reach 200
wins with the program.
Mocs
After underachieving in the
classroom during his first
two years at UTC, he found
himself in a make-or-break
situation during summer
school.
“I’ll go ahead and say
it: I almost got kicked out
of school, and the coaches
were giving up on me and
not trusting me and things
like that,” he said. “There just
comes a point in time where
you’ve got to grow up. It all
hit me at once, and I was like,
I’ve got to buckle down and
do my school work. When
you do that, it all comes
together.”
Anthony said it was a lifechanging experience that is
ongoing. As with many people who have that light come
on — that realization of what
is possible with extensive
effort — Anthony wants to
keep challenging himself.
“I feel more mature
because the coaches are
showing me more trust and
I can feel that,” he said. “It
makes me feel good about
myself, and it makes me keep
wanting to grow and keep
maturing.”
The coaches now want to
see it all come together on
the field, as does Anthony. He
put in the work this winter,
bulking up from 202 pounds
to 220, which should help
him get free of cornerbacks
at the line of scrimmage and
make him harder to tackle.
“I’m anxious to see how
he progresses through spring
[practice] and can he be a
dominant player?” Huesman
said. “He has to be a dominant player this spring. That’s
the next step for him.”
It’s one thing for the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s
basketball team to lose in the Southern Conference tournament. That
happened from time to time even
when the Lady Mocs were dominating the league.
It’s another thing when they get
run out of the building, as they did
Sunday against Appalachian State.
The Mountaineers were more
aggressive, more athletic, more powerful and much more successful in
their 77-52 semifinal win at the U.S.
Cellular Center.
The loss, one of several to SoCon
teams the past two seasons in which
UTC couldn’t match the opponents’
level of aggression or physicality,
will prompt a lot of offseason evaluations, coach Wes Moore said.
In the postgame news conference
and a one-on-one conversation with
the Times Free Press, Moore said
things like “regroup,” “take a look at”
and “find a way” numerous times.
UTC won 22 games and finished
third in the conference, with wins
over co-champions Appalachian
State and Davidson, yet Moore made
it clear that change was needed for
what was until two years ago the
league’s dominant program for more
than a decade.
“The league’s a lot more athletic,
more physical, and the new coaches
have done a great job,” Moore said.
“We’ve got to sit down and look at:
Is it your recruiting needs? Is it making them tougher through drills and
things you do in practice to prepare
them for that type of game?”
Perhaps no statistic summed up
Sunday’s loss and the Lady Mocs’
present predicament better than the
points in the paint. ASU had a 42-14
advantage down low.
“It doesn’t matter what [system]
you’re running when they killed us
on the paint and on the boards,”
Moore said. “We’re not as strong
and physical as we need to be.”
The Lady Mocs have been very
effective over the years with their
four-out, one-in offensive system.
But in 2011-12, Whitney Hood sometimes struggled down low — App
State held her to three shots and

UTC’s Kylie Lambert, right, will be back next season as the Lady Mocs look to return to the top of the
Southern Conference after two non-championship seasons.
two points — and UTC hit only 30.3
percent of its 3-pointers.
Moore said he will have to look at
everything this offseason, including
his philosophies, after going without
a SoCon regular season or tournament title two years in a row.
“You’ve got to look at it. There’s
no doubt, you’ve got to look at
everything at this point,” he said.
“Again, you hate to let one game or
whatever ... but last year I looked at
it as a hiccup. Well, now it’s back-toback years and, OK, we may need to
look at all of it.”
Moore has said several times the
past few seasons that his team is
comprised of very nice players, but
perhaps they’re a little too nice. Kylie
Lambert, who averaged 8.7 points
and 5.9 rebounds as a junior this season, said intensity was the key.
“Our intensity, I don’t feel like it
was a high as it should have been,”
she said. “That’s why we need to
come in in the offseason and work
hard. That way we can compete.”
The Lady Mocs lose two starters in Hood and Tenisha Townsend
from this year’s team, plus reserve
forward Capriee Tucker. Alex Black
likely will take over for Townsend at
point guard next season, and UTC
has post players Faith Dupree and
App State transfer Ashlen Dewart
for two more seasons.
“It’ll take a while to get over it,
and like I said, we’ve got to learn
from it,” Moore said of the disappointing end to the season. “The
staff, the players — we all have to
analyze where we are and what
we’re doing.”
Hall makes all tourney team
UTC sophomore Taylor Hall was
honored Monday as a second-team
selection for the All-Southern Conference Tournament team.
Hall scored 30 points and grabbed
17 rebounds in the Lady Mocs’ two
games at the SoCon tournament in
Asheville, N.C., included a doubledouble against Appalachian State
with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Grubb gets Denny Hamlin back to Victory Lane
By Jenna Fryer
The As sociated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
— Darian Grubb sure hasn’t
missed a beat since he was
unceremoniously fired by
Tony Stewart.
The crew chief made yet
another trip to Victory Lane
on Sunday when he guided
Denny Hamlin to the win at
Phoenix in just their second
race together. Dating back to
last season, Grubb has won
six of the last 12 races.
Yet he found himself out
of work a week after leading Stewart to last season’s
championship. Stewart won
five of the 10 Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship
races to win the title, but
the driver-owner had made
up his mind midway through
the Chase to replace Grubb
at the end of the season.
Gibbs Racing snapped him
up to help guide Hamlin
out of a season-long slump.
Their win at Phoenix, where
Hamlin effectively lost the
2010 championship, proved
both driver and crew chief
have something to prove.
“I guess you could say it
is a little bit of vindication,
but I really don’t think that
way,” Grubb said. “I try to
just think the high road all
the time. I feel like I came
into a very good situation.”
Grubb then praised Mike
Ford, who was crew chief for
Denny Hamlin, left, and crew chief Darian Grubb are
all six of Hamlin’s seasons in
working well together since Grubb was fired by Tony
the Cup series and came ohStewart after last season. Grubb led Hamlin to a win at so-close to taking Hamlin to
Phoenix on Sunday, and the crew chief now has won
the championship. The No.

Hamlin was headed to the
win, too, until a fuel miscalculation forced a late pit stop
and allowed Johnson back
into the title race. Emotionally drained, Hamlin didn’t
put up a fight in the season
finale the next week, and
Johnson rolled to his record
fifth consecutive title.
The hangover lasted most
of last season as Hamlin won
just one race and barely
made the Chase — something he’s done every year
of his career. When Grubb
became available, team
owner Joe Gibbs grabbed
him in hopes of shaking up
one of the stronger teams in
the garage.
Hamlin still speaks highly
of Ford and knew outsiders had a hard time understanding why a change was
needed.

is rated at 1,000, about the
same as the average adult

tendency to play against
more difficult opponents,
however, Ake said, Tanay

From what you say else-
Springsteen hones in
on recession with ‘Wrecking Ball’
By Dan DeLuca
The Philadelphia Inquirer
It seems kind of goofy,
at first, that the title Bruce
Springsteen chose for his serious-as-your-life 17th studio
album, which comes out this
week, is “Wrecking Ball.”
That’s because it takes
its name from a seemingly
slight song that Springsteen
wrote for his final, 2009 run
of shows at Giants Stadium in
New Jersey, shortly before the
building was demolished.
On its face, the song
“Wrecking Ball” appears to be
a lighthearted lark. It’s sung
from the perspective of the
aged gladiators’ forum itself.
“Now my home’s here
in the Meadowlands, where
mosquitoes grow big as airplanes,” Springsteen sings
with a mischievous grin, over
an arrangement that starts
with a strummed acoustic
guitar, then grows grander
as the protagonist welcomes
the instrument of its destruction.
“Wrecking Ball” the
album, on the other hand, is
clearly no laughing matter. It’s
Springsteen weighing in on
the Great Recession, working
hard on behalf of those who
have lost their livelihoods
and had their faith shaken by
economic forces outside their
control.
The emphatic album
opener “We Take Care of Our
Own” takes the measure of
an America that has reneged
on what Springsteen views, in
a favorite formulation, as its
“promise” to look after all its
citizens.
The pumped-up Irish jig
“Death to My Hometown”
finds the Boss excoriating
corporate raiders as “greedy
thieves who came around
and ate the flesh of everything they found.” (It takes
Wall Street henchmen to
task, and you can square
dance to it.)
The weary soul ballad
“Jack of All Trades,” one of
two tracks to feature Rage
Against the Machine’s Tom
Morello on lead guitar,
despairs of a world where
“the banker man grows fat,
the working man grows thin
/ It’s all happened before, and
it’ll happen again.”
And “Rocky Ground,” the
album’s most stunning track,
is a spiritual lament in which
McClatchy Newspapers
Bruce Springsteen’s 17th studio album, “Wrecking Ball,’’ comes out today.
Springsteen and producer
Ron Aniello employ both a
sample of a 1942 Alan Lomax
field recording of the Church
of God in Christ Congregation in Clarksdale, Miss., and
a 16-bar mid-song rap by gospel singer Michelle Moore.
It works so seamlessly,
and soulfully, that even hiphop-hating Bruuuuucce fans
will have a hard time finding
fault with it — though many
will undoubtedly start for the
restrooms if Springsteen performs it when he plays shows
with the E Street Band.
When you take those
statements along with others, such as the existential
and economic bummer “This
Depression,” a song about a
sports stadium being razed
might not seem to have
enough gravitas to hold it all
together.
There’s more to “Wrecking Ball,” however, than
immediately meets the ear.
And, oddly — considering it’s
sung in the voice of a football
stadium — it turns out to be
the album’s best example of
the sort of blood-stirring and
defiantly hopeful songs that
Springsteen has long been
expert at.
It starts off with the story
of an individual, and gathers force as it pulls together
a community that can stand
up to the fates. “C’mon and
take your best shot, let me see
what you got,” the Boss sings,
ready for a fight. “Bring on
your wrecking ball.”
As the music on “Wrecking Ball” grows more defiantly exuberant, with clap-along
verses and Curt Ramm’s
trumpet swirling high up in
the mix, the song becomes
a celebration in the face of
a cycle of hard times that
come and go, “just to come
again.”
More than that, it takes
into account age and mortality. Without dread, the 62year-old Springsteen looks
ahead to “when all this steel
and these stories drift away
to rust, and all our youth and
beauty are given to the dust,”
and it doesn’t shy away from
another blow from the titular
ball of iron.
“Wrecking Ball,” then,
turns out to be a worthy
centerpiece to an album that
gets three (rather than four)
stars because of a merely
workmanlike middle section.
“Jack of All Trades” and “This
Depression,” in particular,
fail to bring down-and-out
protagonists as vividly to
life as Springsteen has done
before so masterfully on
albums such as “Darkness
on the Edge of Town” and
“Nebraska.”
“Wrecking Ball” is solidly
built, with not a bad song in
the bunch. It’s short on great
ones, however, and as such is
a mild disappointment, especially since its subject matter,
about struggle, strife, and
stubborn faith, in an election
year yet, is so perfectly in his
wheelhouse.
In Springsteen’s productive last decade, “Wrecking
Ball” ranks clearly above
2009’s “Working on a Dream”
and slightly below 2007’s
underrated “Magic” and
2002’s Sept. 11 statement “The
Rising.” (I’d put the variously
folkie “We Shall Overcome:
The Seeger Sessions” (2006)
and “Devils & Dust” (2005)
below this one, too, in that
order.)
The album often employs
a familiar Springsteen strategy of marrying downcast
lyrics to up-tempo music
— which avoids driving the
listener to tears with words
that seem suitable for a dirge.
Cases in point would be
the hollered-out country
stomp “Shackled and Drawn,”
which equates freedom with
the right to work, and “Easy
Money,” another rustic romp
about a couple headed on a
crime spree.
Fox News celebrates
a decade as top news channel
By Gary Dinges
c. Cox Newspapers
AUSTIN, Texas — A cable news
network? Run by Fox? Going up
against long-established CNN?
When Fox News Channel debuted
in 1996, many were scratching their
heads. It seemed like such a crazy
idea.
Now? Not so much. Fox News
overtook CNN in the ratings in early
2002, and it just marked a decade as
the most-watched cable news channel.
“It has been quite a ride,” said Bret
Baier, host of the network’s nightly
”Special Report” program. “No one
really knew what Fox News Channel was. When you said ‘Fox,’ people
would ask, ‘Isn’t that the “Simpsons”
network?”’
In 2011, Fox News had the 13 highest-rated cable news programs. Baier
came in at No. 3. Meanwhile, CNN’s
most-watched show, “Anderson Cooper 360,” ranked 17th.
Oh, yes, things have changed.
“We’re excited, but it’s tempered,” said Michael Clemente, the
network’s senior vice president of
news. “Everybody knows it’s almost
harder to stay in first than it is to get
to first.”
There’s a strong bond between Fox
News and its viewers you won’t find
elsewhere on the TV dial. That, Baier
said, is one key reason why the network has done so well.
“Their TV is on Fox News Channel
24/7,” he said.
Baier’s not exaggerating. The channel had to animate its logo several
years back after some hardcore fans
reported that a ghost of the old, stationary one had burned itself into the
bottom corner of their TVs.
“It’s a refreshing thing for them,”
said Megyn Kelly, host of Fox News’
“America Live” program. “They walk
away feeling better informed.”
There’s also, however, a vocal contingent out there who have branded
Fox as a right-leaning news organiza-
tion — a claim that doesn’t mesh well
with its familiar “Fair and Balanced”
slogan.
“It’s easy to paint with a broad
brush if you don’t watch,” Baier said.
“When I hear that from someone,
I ask them to watch my show — or
Shepard Smith’s show — for three
days and then email me back.
“Ninety percent of the time, they
do write back, and they’ll say, ‘Yeah,
you’re right.”’
Hiring former Alaska governor and
one-time presidential hopeful Sarah
Palin intensified criticism for a bit,
but Clemente pointed out that Geraldine Ferraro, a Democrat, was on the
Fox News payroll for almost a decade.
“It’s easy to ding the front-runner,”
he said.
Some critics, Clemente said,
also fail to distinguish between the
news programming that dominates
the channel’s daytime lineup and
the opinion-focused shows that air
after dark, such as No. 1-rated “The
O’Reilly Factor.”
“It’s a very clear format,” he said,
likening the network’s primetime
lineup to the separate opinion section
found inside a daily newspaper.
Lineup changes are the norm at
MSNBC and CNN. Stick a new host in
a new time slot and hope for the best,
ratings-wise.
Fox News, meanwhile, has had
many of its key players in place since
the very beginning. That, many network insiders believe, is another reason it has been the cable news leader
for 10 straight years.
“People come up and start talking
like they know me,” said Baier, who
helped sign the network on, running
the Fox News Atlanta bureau out of
his apartment for a time. “You’re in
their homes. You’re on during dinner.”
“I get a lot of emails from my readers,” Kelly said. “There aren’t two versions of me. My on-air personality is
my off-air personality.”
But it’s another veteran, founder
and CEO Roger Ailes, who deserves
most of the credit, Baier and Kelly
said.
“Roger Ailes is a genius — and I’m
not just saying that because he’s my
boss,” Baier said. “He has an active
hand in everything we do.”
“He has an eye for a diamond in
the rough and, when I arrived, I was
definitely rough,” Kelly said.
And with Ailes and others planning to stick around for years to
come, all signs point to continued ratings success.
“We’re not going to sit still,” Clemente said. “We’re going to push forward and stay fresh.”

sometimes that doesn’t matter. Often, the network has

that “Chuck” would get the

Roughly a year ago, two

out “CHAOS,” a comedy about
a would-be spy dragooned into
a clandestine agency. A few
days later, Fox aired “Breaking

super-secret private spy ring
run by knuckleheads and starring Christian Slater. It was like
TNT’s “Leverage” done for
laughs. Except there weren’t
that many laughs.
Both shows disappeared
rather quickly. “CHAOS”
remains most sincerely dead,
while “Breaking In” has clawed
itself back into our line of
sight like one of those gruesome corpses on “The Walking
Dead.”
The problem with “Breaking In” is that it doesn’t work

CLAIM TO FAME
TALENT SHOW
Tanay Patri is one of the
strongest young chess
players in Tennessee
Chess Association
Region II. He is also an
accomplished swimmer,
tennis player, debater
and a three-time winner
of the Chattanooga
Times Free Press
Regional Spelling Bee.
Do you know a child
15 or younger with a
precocious talent in
academics, athletics or
the arts? To nominate
a child for a future
article, e-mail Casey
Phillips at cphillips@
timesfreepress.com or
call him at 423-7576205.
His first year at McCallie,
Tanay participated simultaneously in the elementary,
junior-high and high-school
teams. After tiring of playing
multiple games simultaneously, he played exclusively
for the high-school team in
seventh grade but has since
rejoined the junior-high
team after he realized he
missed the additional challenge.
“I love playing under
pressure,” he said, smiling.
“If I’m not under pressure, I
tend to relax too much.”
Tanay also attends the
weekly meeting of the Chattanooga Chess Club at the
Downtown YMCA, where
he enjoys playing older
opponents and analyzing
their games to find holes in
his own approach, he said.
Every week, he estimates
he plays four and a half to
five hours, or 15 to 20 games,
in addition to tactical exercises and “20 to 30 games”
he plays simultaneously
online.
“After I finish my homework, I have something to
look forward to,” he said. “I
make all my chess moves
and then go to bed.”
Although he is passionate about chess, Tanay is
involved in numerous other
pursuits, including swimming competitively, playing
on McCallie’s junior-high
tennis team and high-school
debate team. He is also an
accomplished speller, having won three rounds of the
Chattanooga Times Free
Press Regional Spelling
Bee.
Last year, he placed first
in the statewide Tennessee Mathematics Teachers
Association math contest.
He received the national
recognition medal from
Duke University’s Talent
Identification Program for
his performance on the
American College Testing
exam. His score of 27 (of a
possible 36) included several individual exam scores
that placed him in the 95th
percentile of testers.
Tanay’s father, Neelanjan
Patri, is also an avid chess
player. He said his son’s
approach to life in many
ways reflects his approach
to the game in that he makes
small tactical decisions to
achieve a long-term strategy.
“Chess, I felt, while
being a game, teaches a lot
of things,” Patri said. “You
can see some of that taken
in real-life scenarios where
he [Tanay] says, ‘If I want to
get there, I need to do these
things first.’

Fruit trees will grow even in small space
say, nickel size in diameter,
and let the tree focus its
energy on (its) structure,
the branches, root system.
Then two to three years in,
let more fruit ripen.
By William Hageman
Chicago Tribune
Everybody likes fruit,
but some gardeners may be
reluctant to plant an apple
or peach tree, preferring to
play it safe with some tomatoes or peppers. That’s who
Colby Eierman had in mind
when he wrote “Fruit Trees
in Small Spaces: Abundant
Harvests From Your Own
Backyard” (Timber Press).
“I thought of the gardener who has been growing
vegetables in the backyard,”
Eierman said, “and is ready
to make that step to perennial fruit.”
Gardeners may be handicapped by their lack of
knowledge of fruit. Eierman includes far more
varieties than a consumer
will find in a supermarket,
where easy-to-ship trumps
taste. This was his way of
helping gardeners make a
choice.
“Some folks just aren’t
going to be able to grow citrus, but there’s a lot of great
apples out there that will
work,” he says. “I’ve been so
enriched in my life, growing
plants in general and trees
specifically, I’d like to help
people start on their own
journey.”
The book talks about
turning your yard into a
small orchard, growing fruit
trees in pots, what works,
what doesn’t, and even
includes recipes.

Pruning is crucial. Is it
easy to become a passable “expert”?
The best way to learn is
to get out there and do
it. I found most folks fall on
the spectrum as aggressive
or timid pruners. I think we
could all move a little toward
the middle.
I love pruning. It’s a really
nice time out in the garden.
One of the exciting things
about growing fruit trees in
small spaces, you can pretty much prune whenever
you want, when you notice
something.
People think it’s something done in winter, it’s
frosty out ... but if you’re
trying to reduce (a plant’s)
size and keep it in a smaller
area, summer pruning is the
way to go.
In winter, with no leaves,
you have to imagine what
the tree will look like. But
in the summer you can see
how the sun is hitting the
fruit, you can prune off what
is blocking that light.
You’re taking some of
the tree’s resources, but left
to their own devices, trees
get much bigger than we
need. Small trees pruned in
the summer are just a great
addition to the landscape.

people, a place of service to
use your talents and to devote
yourself to becoming a good
human being, this is where
the best life is.
Anyone can make people
afraid of them. No challenge
there.

What about fruit trees
being messy?
I don’t see it as an issue,
(but) there’s a lot we
can do. There are things we
can do with netting. The
nice thing about small trees
and keeping them small is
that they’re easier to protect and eliminate that sort
of pressure. You also have
to choose the right variety.
Having a plum tree over
your sidewalk, it’s going to
drop fruit. If that’s not what
you want, that’s not where
you should put that tree.

up and reading the Bible to

The thing that breaks my
heart about gangs is not just
the violence they foster but
the joy and fulfillment they
miss. I remember a poem that
said, “Let me live in a house
by the side of the road and be
a friend to man.” There is so
much more lifetime bliss in
that than there is in being a
feared member of a gang.

Seven surprising ways to use butter around the house
By Tara McAlister
McClatchy Newspapers
A great way to save
money is by using ordinary items in extraordinary
ways. You’ll see here that
butter isn’t just for Paula
Deen:
■ Use butter to remove
waxy remnants from an
eyebrow wax.
■ Rub softened butter
into hair to ease out gum.
■ Butter your knife first
to slice marshmallows, dates
and other tacky items.
■ Use butter to polish
leather goods such as belts
and baseball gloves.
■ Next time you have to
take a big pill, add a little
butter to help the medicine
slide down.
■ Butter is a great mois-
turizer. Try using it on your
knees and elbows or as a
shaving cream.
■ Bad smells are no
match for butter. After
handling fish or onions, rub
butter on your hands, then
wash them.

Nichelle Patel, owner of The Chocolate Box, makes
trendy cake pops at The Cake Boutique.
Chocolatier
creations she molded from
chocolate. Patel said she
now loves the challenge of
custom chocolate work.
Two years ago, a mutual friend introduced her
to Patti Taylor. Taylor had
operated The Cake Boutique
for three years.
“I liked her attitude, her
professionalism,” said Taylor, who soon invited Patel
to join her at The Cake Boutique.
Taylor said she saw how
their companies could complement each other and
their partnership be mutually beneficial.
“People who want cake,
such as brides, often want
favors, such as little chocolate boxes, for their weddings,” Taylor explained.
For Patel, the bakery was
a ready source for cake to
make the trendy cake pops.
Although each woman
has maintained her own
business, Taylor said the
partnership already has produced a noticeable growth,
almost doubling business.
Patel tells how she developed her artisanal chocolates then got out the word
about her talent.
Q: How did you get
started making chocolate?
A: I left my job in September 2009. During November and December, I began
working with chocolate at
home starting with a kit I
bought from Hobby Lobby.
The first thing I made were
ladybug lollipops for my
daughter’s birthday.
A friend suggested I sell
my work. To test the market,
I made 20 houses similar to
gingerbread houses, only
made all of chocolate. I took
them to a Christmas show
and sold all of them for $20
each, and people were asking me for more.
During 2010, I began having people ask for chocolate made into cars, ducks
for baby showers and more.
Soon I was taking orders for
bridal and baby showers,
birthdays and parties.
Q: What type of things
do you make at The Chocolate Box?
A: Chocolate shoes, numbers, letters, monograms,
birds, carousels, horses and
champagne bottles molded
entirely in chocolate. We
do chocolate-covered fruit
Young
really wanted to work with
them on something.”
Some details, such as
if there will be discounted
pricing for fans with Riverbend pins, are still being
worked out.
Lionel Young is a classically trained violin player.
The Lionel Young Band won
the 2011 International Blues
Classic band competition.
He took top prize in the solo
category in 2008.
Ike Stubblefield’s resume
includes stints with B.B.
King, Ike and Tina Turner,
Al Green, Eric Clapton, The
Jerry Garcia Band and The
Pointer Sisters.
“He’s been here playing
with other people, but this
will be his first time here
with his own band,” said Jeff
Styles, assistant production
and talent coordinator for
Riverbend.

reserved in his evaluation of
his skills.
Tanay said his strong suit
is his ability to develop custom move combinations and
his studied emphasis on his
end game, but he admitted
that he has plenty to learn.
“When I’m not playing
my best, I’ve been beat several times at school; I make a
mistake or I blunder awfully
by not seeing something,” he
said. “I’m far from perfect at
chess. There’s lots of room
for me to improve.”
When he first started
playing at age 6, admitting
defeat was not easy for
Tanay.
Having learned the rudiments of the game from his
father, Tanay studied over
the summer before joining
the chess team at Hickory
Valley Christian School. As
a young up-and-comer, he
held himself to a high standard and often felt disappointed at being defeated,
he said.
As he grew older and
entered middle school,
however, he began to see
opportunity to grow from
every match, regardless of
the outcome.
“I look over the game and
see what I did wrong and
what I can do better,” he
said. “Losses are just another learning experience.”
Tanay said he appreciates
the analytical nature of chess,
especially its emphasis on
forward thinking and logic
to be successful. He is not
one to shy away from difficult matches and said he prefers the pressure of a fierce,
higher-ranked competitor to
games against players with
similar Elo ratings.
An eighth-grader at
McCallie, he is the only middle-school student competing on the high-school chess
team, which he has been a
member of since the sixth
grade.

arrangements, chocolate
truffles and cookie arrangements. We specialize in
custom creations for cake
pops, and we are working on
cheesecake pops and savory
pops.
Q: You said you had no
experience; how did you
learn the art?
A: I was never a baker
or a chocolate maker. I am
self-taught. I am not a chef
by education but by experience. I have been taking
a number of classes and
attending events and seminars to learn more.
Q: Is the class with
Buddy Valastro part of his
“Next Great Baker” reality show?
A: No, this two-day class
is separate. The classes are
available to those who apply.
However, it is very difficult
to get placed. I have an
obligation to pay to travel,
for my hotel and class fees.
However, the trip is a priceless experience.”
Q: Other than at The
Cake Boutique on East
Brainerd Road, where can
Chattanoogans see your
work?
A: We will be participating
in Chocolate Fling on April 29
at Pier 2, which benefits the
Epilepsy Foundation.
